Asia Pacific REIT Roundup: Though Fundamentals Remain Strong, Asian REITs Backslide a Bit Amid Policy Restrictions and Inflation Fears
After posting tremendous gains both in 2009 and 2010, Asia Pacific REITs so far in 2011 have mostly stalled and retreated. Inflation fears, interest rate hikes, the Japanese earthquake and ongoing policy restrictions impacting the residential sector in Hong Kong, Singapore and China have all conspired to create mostly negative returns. Australia is the happy exception. Japanese REITs, though taking a strong hit immediately after the earthquake, staged a quick comeback. M&A activity and sponsor changes throughout the Asia Pacific region have strengthened the quality of Asian REITs, and economic growth will likely remain robust for the foreseeable future. The selective investor will find many attractive points of entry.
Past, Present and Future: A Perspective on Japanese Real Estate from the Debt Side
When one summarizes Japanese real estate, one cannot do so without touching upon the long decline of real estate values from the peak of the Japanese bubble that occurred in the early 1990s. A summary of the long-term history of Japanese real estate returns indicates that, with the exception of 2004 to 2007, Japanese real estate lost value during the past two decades. The obvious question then becomes whether such a period was the only period when investors in Japanese real estate made money. The answer is clearly: "No." Investors were making money even with losses in real estate value.
Synthetic Benchmarks: Investors Should Consider A Synthetic Approach to Benchmarking Real Estate Funds in Asia
The benchmarking of unlisted real estate funds is rarely straightforward and is frequently a bone of contention between general partners and their investors. What represents a fair comparison of the manager's fund-level performance? Should it be the NAV return on all the alternative investment funds into which the investors might have put their money or just the return on funds that look very similar to the one being compared, on the basis that the investors' selection of funds make them to some extent complicit in the result?
Shop Talk: A Conversation with Lee Jun Ho
Lee Jun Hois director of Real Estate Corea (REC), which represents real estate investors for the European Union Chamber of Commerce in Korea (EUCCK). Lee recently spoke with Alex Eidlin, associate publisher of The Letter – Asia Pacific and managing director – Asia Pacific with Institutional Real Estate, Inc., about EUCCK's mission, the efforts of Real Estate Corea and Korean investor intentions.
DREAM Closes Japan Datacenter Fund
Diamond Realty Management (DREAM), a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corp., has closed the DREAM Datacenter Fund with approximately ¥10 billion (US$103 million) in equity.
SOHO China Buys Shanghai Property for US$500 million
SOHO China Ltd., has acquired Shanghai New World Changning Commercial Center for US$500 million. The seller was not disclosed.
Forum Partners Invests US$46 Million of Growth Capital into Treasury China Trust
An affiliate of real estate investment firm Forum Partners has invested US$46 million by way of convertible bonds in Treasury China Trust (TCT), the first Singapore-listed business trust focused on commercial real estate in China.

2010-02-11 [Ramirez]: Well, I wish you well. I'm sure in time you'll be able to get your vision on paper.
2010-02-11 [~Spirit Fox~]: I hope so, Emily is one of the many character's I'm not suposed to be working on right now, but I want to.
2010-02-12 [Ramirez]: If you have inspiration, I say take it. =P
2010-02-12 [~Spirit Fox~]: XD I think I just need to pratice softer faces. I used to only be able to draw soft face, then I switched to hardened ones, so now I need to go back.
2010-02-12 [Ramirez]: I don't really have a very set style, I don't think. It changes with my mood, so in a sense, I never really can achieve that same look twice. Which, is good, I think. But I understand wanting to get a certain look to match a character. I'm sure if you study certain features on people that you think are 'soft' then it may help you understand what to draw when the time comes.
2010-02-12 [~Spirit Fox~]: That's what I ment. XD I'm bad at explaining things. It never comes out right, or the way I mean for it to.
2010-02-12 [Ramirez]: Well, practice on that too XD
2010-02-13 [~Spirit Fox~]: I think that lst one will take a lot more time. XD But I did at least get a rough draft drawn of her, so for now I'm content. (And should stop working on them sicne I'm suposed to be working on 4 others... -.- breaking my own rules is bad.)
2010-02-13 [Ramirez]: Nothing wrong with multitasking XD
2010-02-14 [~Spirit Fox~]: Yeah but when I over do it, I get stuck, and it is easier to quit on one and start another, forgetting the original to begin with. I don't wnat to to that, I want to finish what I start, like I do with everything else. (except videogames...s
2010-02-14 [Ramirez]: Haha, I know how you feel. All those side-quests on video games suddenly become so much more interesting near the end of games :P
2010-02-15 [~Spirit Fox~]: Then there's the, "This game is so much fun, but after you beat it there's nothing to do.", which is the reason I didn't beat Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time untill ten years after I got it. XD My co-writer said he was very disoppointed.
2010-02-15 [Ramirez]: Lol. I never got to officially beat Major's Mask, but that was because my brother sold our N64 before I finished. =/
2010-02-16 [~Spirit Fox~]: I didn't get to beat it either, my 64 is in the attic and I have no room to hook it up untill I can move out. XD (gamesystem for every TV kind of person.) And yet surprisingly, I'm not really good at anything except the 64 version of Super Smash Bros.
2010-02-16 [Ramirez]: I only vaguely remember playing that game. I was pretty young.
2010-02-16 [~Spirit Fox~]: I was 5 when I got Zelda OoT. and about 6-7 when I got SSB. wow...that was a long time ago. XD
2010-02-16 [Ramirez]: Yeah XD;
2010-02-16 [~Spirit Fox~]: Now I feel old. -.- To make things worse my sister is like 11, and she's always lost when I mention those games of Salior Moon.
2010-02-16 [Ramirez]: I don't recall any games for Sailor Moon, but the anime was fantastic.
2010-02-16 [~Spirit Fox~]: no, I ment the anime. ^.^ But she doesn't knwo any of the older animes. So I'm introducing them to her. I started with Yu Yu Hakusho.
2010-02-16 [Ramirez]: LOL. I watched a good majority of that. Then I missed a few episodes so I gave up on it. It was pretty decent, despite the awful voice acting.

The policy calls for both random testing and testing based on reasonable suspicion of smoking.

Larry DeWayne Wise (born February 24, 1978) is an American retired professional baseball outfielder. He graduated from Chapin High School in 1997 and was selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the fifth round of the 1997 amateur draft. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Toronto Blue Jays, Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds, Chicago White Sox, Florida Marlins, and New York Yankees. He is best known for robbing Gabe Kapler of a home run to preserve Mark Buehrle's perfect game in 2009.[1]
Professional career[edit]
Toronto Blue Jays (2000–2002)[edit]
Wise was claimed by the Toronto Blue Jays on December 13, 1999, in the Rule 5 draft without having played a game for the Reds. He made his Major League debut for the Blue Jays on April 6, 2000. He struggled to make an impact at the big-league level, appearing in just 28 games in the 2000 season, batting a paltry .136 before being sent back to the minors.
After spending the entire 2001 season in the Toronto minor league system, Wise was recalled to the Majors in 2002. He appeared in 42 games and hit his first home run during this time, before being demoted largely due to his .179 batting average. He became a free agent after the 2003 season, which he spent entirely in Syracuse, the Blue Jays' AAA affiliate.
Atlanta Braves (2004)[edit]
On October 25, 2003, Wise signed as a minor league free agent with the Atlanta Braves. He impressed in the Braves' minor league system, batting a combined .309 between Class-A, Class-A Advanced and AAA, earning a call up and his next shot at the big leagues. Wise batted .228 in 77 appearances for the Braves in 2004, with 6 home runs.
Detroit Tigers (2005)[edit]
After the 2004 season Wise was placed on waivers by the Braves and claimed by the Detroit Tigers. He spent the entire 2005 season with the Toledo Mud Hens, the Tigers' AAA affiliate, where he batted .234 before being released.
Cincinnati Reds (2006–2007)[edit]
The next team to sign Wise was the team who had drafted him in the first place, the Cincinnati Reds. He spent the majority of the 2006 season in Louisville at AAA level, but he did appear in 31 games at MLB level. The Reds re-signed Wise to a minor league contract for the 2007 season, which again he spent mostly in AAA, making just 5 appearances in the Majors. He was released and granted free agency on October 1, 2007.
Chicago White Sox (2008–2009)[edit]
After the Reds had opted not to re-sign him and with offers not exactly flooding in, Wise began to explore the possibility of playing in the independent baseball leagues. He didn't have to, however, as he received a call from Chicago White Sox and signed a minor league deal on March 5, 2008. Charlotte, the White Sox Triple-A affiliate, was the next stop on his journeyman career. He was called up the Major Leagues when Juan Uribe went on the DL in May, but used sparingly before being sent back down. When Paul Konerko, the White Sox first baseman went on the DL in late July, Wise was selected for promotion, due to his .319 batting average in Charlotte, ahead of Sox prospect Jerry Owens.
Wise was used mostly as a reserve outfielder/defensive replacement for Ken Griffey Jr., but impressed at the plate, hitting .288 with two homers and seven RBI in 35 games before straining his adductor muscle and going on the DL August 25. Wise's big break came when White Sox All-Star left fielder Carlos Quentin fractured his wrist after fouling off a pitch on September 5. Quentin would miss the rest of the season, Wise was taken off the DL and figured to see more playing time taking Quentin's position in left field.
The White Sox were locked in a tight race for the AL Central with the Minnesota Twins and Wise centainly contributed to the Sox eventually winning the division (after a one-game play-off). He picked the perfect moment to hit his first career grand slam, a go-ahead, pinch-hit shot in the eighth inning to beat the Detroit Tigers 11–7 on September 14, 2008.
The White Sox made the postseason where they lost to the Tampa Bay Rays in four games. Wise batted .286 with a homer and 5 RBI in the 2008 ALDS.
The White Sox and Wise agreed to a one-year deal worth $550,000 after he had batted .248 with six homers and 18 RBI in 57 games in 2008. Wise was named by manager Ozzie Guillén as the White Sox opening day center fielder and leadoff hitter for the 2009 season after impressing during spring training. However, just seven games into the season, he separated his shoulder while making a spectacular diving, bases-loaded catch, saving at least two runs. The catch helped preserve a 10–6 Chicago win, but the resulting injury kept Wise on the disabled list until early June.
On July 23, 2009, at U. S. Cellular Field, Wise was put in by Guillen as a 9th-inning defensive substitute, and promptly robbed the Rays' Gabe Kapler of a home run with a spectacular, juggling catch, preserving Mark Buehrle's perfect game.[1] To thank Wise for his play Mark Buehrle gave him a bottle of Crown Royal XR in a cloth bag embroidered with his name and the date of the perfect game.[2]
On July 30, 2009, the team's first home game after the perfect game, the White Sox unveiled a sign reading "The Catch" at the top of the left field wall, at the location where Wise had made his catch. Wise came into that game as a defensive replacement in the 9th and hit a game-winning single in the bottom half of that inning to give the White Sox a win over the Yankees.
Toronto Blue Jays (2010)[edit]
On October 9, Wise opted for free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment to Class AAA Charlotte.[3] He signed with the Philadelphia Phillies on November 25, 2009, and prior to the 2010 season was assigned to their Class AAA affiliate, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs.[4]
In 2010, he exercised the June 1 opt-out date in his contract to become a free agent.[5] On June 5, 2010, the Blue Jays signed outfielder DeWayne Wise to a minor league deal.
Florida Marlins, Toronto Blue Jays (2011)[edit]
On January 12, 2011, the Florida Marlins signed Wise with an invitation to spring training.[6]
On March 30, Wise exercised his out clause after failing to make the Marlins' Opening Day roster. The Marlins released him, making him a free agent. On April 11 after the Blue Jays center fielder Rajai Davis was placed on the 15-day DL, Wise was signed by the Blue Jays to a minor league contract. However, he was released on June 9.[7]
He signed a minor league contract with the Florida Marlins on June 15.[8] He was called up on June 17. On August 26, the Blue Jays claimed Wise off waivers.[9] Wise made his 2011 Blue Jays debut on August 29, playing center field against the Tampa Bay Rays. On October 6, he elected free agency.[10]
New York Yankees (2012)[edit]
On January 4, 2012, Wise signed a minor league contract with the New York Yankees,[11] receiving an invitation to spring training.[12] The Yankees purchased his contract from the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees on May 4.[13]
After batting .333 (25–75) with four home runs for the Yankees' AAA affiliate, Wise was called up on May 4, 2012, along with pitcher Cody Eppley to take the roster spots of DJ Mitchell and Mariano Rivera, after the latter sustained an ACL tear.
Wise had a career game against the Cleveland Indians on June 25, as he hit a two-run home run in the 2nd inning and followed that up with an RBI triple in the 6th inning, as he helped lead the Yankees to a 7–1 victory.[14] On June 29 against the White Sox, Wise made his debut as a pitcher on the mound to retire the next 2 batters to get the last 2 outs in the top of the 9th inning. He was the first position player with the Yankees to pitch on the mound since Nick Swisher did in 2009.
On July 23, 2012, Wise was designated for assignment after the Yankees acquired Ichiro Suzuki.[15] He refused an outright assignment to the minors and was released on July 30.
Chicago White Sox (2012–2013)[edit]
On August 3, 2012, Wise signed a minor league contract with the White Sox.[16] On August 11, Wise was called up to replace Paul Konerko, who was placed on the 7-day disabled list.
On November 21, 2012, Wise signed a one-year, $700,000 deal to remain a member of the White Sox organization.[17] He was released on August 3, 2013.

Epitome de T. Livio bellorum omnium annorum DCC ("Abridgement from Livy of All the Wars over 1200 Years"), is a rhetorical panegyric of the greatness of Rome. Almost valueless historically, it was much used...

References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in EnglishNone Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0743260015, Hardcover)Ida B. Wells-Barnett Tower. The place held such promise when it was built in the late 1970s. It was Harlem's hope for a new beginning -- an affordable, safe residence for people who couldn't afford to live downtown. But that was more than twenty-five years ago, before the devastating crack scourge hit. But the residents of Ida B. are resilient. They've built their own community and they look out for one another to the best of their abilities. Neighbors may argue, and even fight, but whenever one of them is in trouble, the whole building rallies around. Twenty-five-year-old Brenda Carver is a welfare mother of four children who longs to be a writer; Rosa Rivera is an aspiring actress who will let nothing stand in the way of her career; Sharif Goldsby is a political activist determined to change the world, starting with Harlem and the Ida B. There's also Miss Jackie, the middle-aged, back-stabbing gossip; Vincent, the former bank robber turned scam artist; Mrs. Harris, the elderly neighborhood fence; and high school honor student Ricky, who hopes to be one of the scramblers on the corner -- hawking crack to passersby. When a building resident kills herself and two of her children, the tenants make a collective vow to care for her surviving child. But that's just the beginning of the tragedies facing the residents of the Ida B. A shocking crime occurs in the building, and everyone becomes a suspect. With accusations flying, the tight community of the Ida B. begins to collapse under the strain. And, to top it all, they learn that their home of more than twenty years is about to be torn down. As the search for the killer intensifies, unsung heroes step forward -- at great personal risk -- to right the wrongs that have been done. In Karen E. Quinones Miller's world, the people who stand out are the people who survive, and go on, against all odds, to share their wisdom and find their dreams. In a modern take on the classic sentiment, "There's no place like home," Ida B. affirms that home is a place we love, even when it is less than perfect. (retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:16:02 -0400) A tightly knit bunch in their 20s, Brenda, Rosa and Sharif grew up in the Ida B both the beloved centerpiece of their community and a prison they want to escape. |

Manchester United have been linked with Robert Lewandowski since last summer, and there were even stories that the Polish international striker had agreed terms with officials from Old Trafford, but that has been denied by all concerned. It does seem clear the the 24-year old will not be signing a new contract with Borussia Dortmund, so the German champions are likely to sell the forward in the summer while he still has a year left on his current deal.
For a player with such quality and in such form, you would think that there were a number of top clubs clamouring for his signature, but his agent has revealed that United are the only team to have expressed real concrete interest, which is fantastic for us, because he has scored in every one of his last six games, including a fantastic winner against Bundesliga rivals Bayer Leverkeusen and a crucial equaliser against Shaktar Donetsk that puts Dortmund close to the next round of the Champions league.
"Many clubs follow the player, but really it is only specifically Manchester United.
"Bayern Munich? I know something, but no further details. In June we'll see, but Juventus is just a rumour. Nobody at the Italian club has talked to me."
Lewandowski is a fantastic all round player, and his eye for goal is superb. At 24-years old, he is just coming in to the best years of his football career, and it looks as if there is a very good chance he will spend them at Old Trafford.

Young Jeezy is back with a major banger, "Get Right", which is produced by Black Metaphor. The song is extra hype and the hook is so catchy. This song will get in the hands of DJs quick and you'll start to hear it circulating on mixtapes and in the clubs.
A great way to eliminate all the stuff that surrounds your name is to make a cool track. Good job Young Jeezy.

Rosemary Kennedy Elementary School teachers started thinking of pupils as âour studentsâ instead of âmy studentsâ a few years ago.
That was when the school began a daily Target Time, when students are sent to other classrooms for 45 minutes of reading instruction and an hour with another teacher working on math needs.
Principal Jackie Casillas said the students are reassessed and reassigned to target groups every six weeks.
Students learning English as a second language get two hours of targeted English and reading instruction, rather than 45 minutes, she said.
The approach changed the schoolâs culture of teaching and learning and earned the school in Alvord Unified School District a Model of Academic Excellence award from the Riverside County Office of Education.
The school raised its Academic Performance Index from 726 in 2008 to 824 in 2012. The index, based on standardized test scores, ranges from 200 to 1,000 with a statewide goal of 800.
Casillas and Leslie Hahn, who coaches other teachers on instructional strategies, said they think their schoolâs test scores will continue to rise, despite growing poverty in the west Riverside neighborhood.
About 84 percent of students are low income, a figure that has risen about 10 percent since 2008, Casillas said.
Teachers also have changed their approach and how they use textbooks, using different strategies based on a studentâs needs, Hahn said.
Teachers have added questions to encourage students to think more critically and to analyze and synthesize information they read, Hahn said.
For instance, during Target Time, teacher John Evans told his room full of fourth- and fifth-graders to think of questions as they read the next chapter of a childrenâs novel.
Their questions were to begin with âWhat changes would you make to solve... ,â âWhat would happen if... ,â âCan you predict the outcome if ...â or âCan you invent new technology that would helpâ characters in the book. Students were to write five such questions in their journal, then trade journals and answer their neighborâs questions.
âThese are all advanced students,â Evans said. âThey know how to read. Now theyâre reading to learn.â
The approach for both struggling and advanced students is to encourage their continued academic development and prepare them not just for the high school exit exam in five or six years but for college and different types of technical reading beyond, Casillas said.
Students say they like Target Time.
Fifth-grader Gabriel Koshmerl said he likes math classes with other students working at his level so they donât have to stop or slow down for those who donât understand.
Fourth-grader Jordan Viramontes said his grades on reading comprehension are higher now.

The Leadership Owen County class of 2012 had the privilege of visiting the facilities which provide health services for residents of Owen County. Parts of the dream have been accomplished.
Some of us older folk in Owen County shake our heads in disbelief as we struggle to come to grips with modern technology. The ability of our youngsters to manipulate the advanced equipment of today never ceases to amaze us. Now the Kindle is visiting the classrooms in our schools and the kids are delighted.
Kentucky Adult Education, a unit of the Council on Postsecondary Education, issued a consumer alert Monday regarding fraudulent websites claiming to offer high school and GED diplomas for a fee through the Internet. "Kentuckians need to know there is one way to earn a GED credential and that is through a test administered onsite at an Official GED Testing Center," Reecie Stagnolia, vice president for Kentucky Adult Education, said in a press release from the state.
Steve Stewart had driven past the Carr Cemetery countless times and never noticed it. Tucked across from the Voice of Thunder Church, the Carr Cemetery had become a victim of time with brush and trees blocking out part of Owen County history. In March, George Robertson, a resident of Philadelphia, came to visit the resting place of some of his Owen County ancestors. Robertson had been researching his genealogy for several years and that hunt led him to Owen County. He found the Carr Cemetery nearly hidden under years of undergrowth and brush.
Owen County communities were once like close-knit families that came together to help their neighbors in times of need. Teresa Davis said she misses that time and hopes to bring it back with a community-wide Kentucky Derby theme yard sale. The idea came about after beloved community member Eugene Winkle died in February.
Saying the smell of farm animals from a neighboring property is in violation of local ordinances, an Owenton couple are turning to the city for help. Homeowners Tim and Carol Shelton spoke before the Owenton City Council earlier this month to complain about the animals being raised on Roland Avenue. The couple said the animals are in violation of several city ordinances.
As Owen County school district's site-based decision making councils prepare to make cuts in all schools, Owen County School District Superintendent David Raleigh said Maurice Bowling Middle School will be hit the hardest. Raleigh said most councils won't meet until after spring break, but any staff being cut must be notified by May 15. "We'd like to have schedules put together as soon as we possibly can," Raleigh said. "Those decisions that have to be made really drive how our schedules are put together."

Grilling evokes memories of smoky flavors and mouthwatering aromas. Grilling offers endless opportunities to create a whole world of delicious cuisines, from spicy Mexican recipe to Indian tandoori chicken. Grilling can work for all kinds of food from shrimps to back ribs. Grilling suits every diet style from easy recipes to diet meals where prominence is given to low calorie cooking. Look up tips on choosing gas grills. Find out more on natural gas grills and barbecue grills.
Choose the right grill 1. Is the grill big enough ? The general rule of thumb while selecting grills is that 400 square inches of primary grilling area is perfect for any average cook. The grill should give enough room for several dishes at a time or feed a larger party crowd. 2. It is best to look for extra shelves at different levels and side burners to make the grill cooking convenient and comfortable. 3. Choose a grill with easy to use ignition switches. Temperature controls in the grill are needed. 4. It is essential that the grill has passed the wobble test and is built to last. The grill should be good and stable. Check for the construction and the materials used. 6. Opt for a grill that one can afford. Of course best quality grills come with a high price tag attached.
Natural gas grills are convenient to use as they have no tanks on them. It is incredibly easy to carry as they have no tanks to run out of fuel during mid meal. Natural gas grills are cost savers as they are priced lesser than other kind of grills. This grill is for those who desire to bring convenience and precision to cooking in the great outdoors. A natural gas grill delivers temperature control, consistent heat and a continual flow of fuel at once.
Since natural gas grills are connected to the gas supply piping lines, they are always ready for cooking. There is instant supply of fuel and one does not have to wait for briquettes to heat up. Natural gas grills have an average appliance life of about twelve to eighteen years.
Outdoor gas grill There are plenty of grill brands that have built a reputation for indoor as well as exceptional outdoor cooking as well. Nowadays with the use of smoking wood chips the taste differences between charcoal and gas grill are simply fading away. In fact may gas grill owners use mesquite, hickory and oak chips to replicate the taste of open fire for outdoor cooking.
To get the maximum flavor of charcoal grills, the coals needs to turn into whitish color which should take a minimum of thirty minutes. Moreover during outdoor cooking hauling twenty pound charcoal bags and arranging the coals in all the important shapes apart from dealing with the smoke could become very tiresome. Alternatively the ready to use gas grill option which can cook seconds after ignition is a more suitable option.
Barbecue gas grill While cooking on a barbecue grill could be great fun, cleaning the grill can be quite a hassle. While a traditional grill also has the potential to be a fire hazard, the barbecue gas grill dispenses with the trappings of charcoal, ash and burning embers and replaces them with manageable gas tank. There is also no issue of mess and cleaning in a barbecue gas grill.
Built in gas grill Many built-in gas grills come in compact but with a giant built in efficiency. The built in gas grills deliver superior cooking performance and come with control zones for direct and indirect cooking techniques. Superb heat dynamics with reduced flare ups and a hassle less cleaning are features of built in gas grills. Most built in grill models can be designed into non combustible enclosures with a minimum of 24' clearance between the sides or back of the grill and any combustible surface.
Built in gas grills come equipped with infrared searing burners for searing temperatures, heavy gauge stainless steel cooking grate, deep well drippings collector for hassle free cleaning, integrated wood chip smoking tray, warming rack and stainless steel cabinetry and hardware including knobs, hinges and handles.
Portable gas grill Whether it is a trip to the seaside or a picnic, portable gas grills offer a wide variety of options to choose from. A portable gas grill would weigh approximately 17 pounds. One can actually sear a steak with this unit at 1000 degrees F. It is also perfect for fish and chicken pieces.
Gas grill parts A gas grill is constructed of stainless steel, aluminized steel or cast iron which is coated with porcelain occasionally. Many gas grill components can be replaced with new parts quite easily. Additional components such as burners, valves and heat shields are necessary accessories for gas grills. Burners: These are hollow with gas inlet holes and outlet ports. There is a separate control on the control panel of the grill for each and every inlet. The most common gas grill burners are called H burners as they resemble the capital letter 'H'. The Oval shape is also a popular one and there are gas burners with figure '8' and 'bar' burners. Some other burners are straight since they are required to heat only one portion of the grill. Venturi tubes supply gas to the grill. They can be either permanently attached to the burner or removable. Burners operate at high temperatures and are subject to drippings from cooking end. Hence burner is the most crucial component to wear out in a gas grill. Care should be taken to maintain the burner well as corroded areas in the burner creates 'hot spots' which can make it difficult to cook food well. Cooking grids: Also known as cooking grates, these are the surfaces on which the food is cooked in a grill. They are made of stainless steel, porcelain coated cast iron, porcelain coated steel and chrome plated steel. It is pertinent to know the cooking grid's measurement pattern. Rock grates: These are placed above the burner and are designed to hold the lava rock or ceramic briquettes. They help to protect the burner from drippings as well as disperse the heat from the burner more evenly throughout the grill. Heat shields: Commonly referred to as burner shields, heat plates, heat tents, radiation shields or heat angles, these serve the same purpose as rock grates. They also protect the burner from corrosive meat drippings and dispersing heat. Heat shields do not harbor bacteria, they are not as heavy as rock grates and they are much easier to replace than rock grates. Heat shields also vaporize the meat drippings and infuse the meat with more flavor to taste. Valves: It is seen that many grills are disposed off when valves fail due to lack of replacements for valves. Debris in the venturi can block the gas from getting to the burner. Such impediments can be cleared using a long flexible object. Valves that rust out and become difficult to operate needs to be replaced with an exactly similar to the original one. This is indeed very difficult to obtain. This is the reason why many grills are disposed off when the valves fail.

Southview ace Kirk Stambaugh pitched a complete game, four-hit shutout to lead the Cougars to an early Northern Lakes League road win over Anthony Wayne yesterday.
Stambaugh did not allow an extra base hit and struck out five, including the final two batters to seal a 5-0 victory. Southview (11-0 overall, 4-0 NLL), ranked No. 7 in the Division I state poll, scored four runs in the first and never looked back.
"It's a big win playing on the road," Stambaugh said. "We knew they were hungry. So getting the win at their place is big."
Junior Mark Dubow smoked a solid single up the middle to drive in Todd Vandercook and Nick Kopfman, who both also had hard singles, to make it 3-0. Andy Joseph then drove in Everett Barton with another single.
"That was real big coming over here and doing that," Southview coach Ed Mouch said. "It makes the guys feel more comfortable. It makes Kirk a little more at ease. Mark's hit with two outs was key and then Andy coming through were critical aspects of the game."

Public Eye
Everyone is scratching their heads trying to figure out why Ed Zschau, Mr. Republican of Silicon Valley, has signed on as presidential veep candidate for the not-quite-ready-for-prime-time Reform Party, instead of drumming up support for fellow presidential pachyderm Bob Dole. Speculation rippling through the valley runs that Zschau may be burnishing his maverick credentials for a 1998 run for the U.S. Senate seat held by tailspinning Demo Barbara Boxer, whose public approval rating has slipped to below 40 percent and is regarded by insiders as the most vulnerable Democratic incumbent senator in the country. ... That line of thinking could also explain why Zschau protégé Tom Campbell is not scurrying after Boxer's seat, as might normally be the case. (Out at Camp Campbell, the mantra is, repeat after Eye: "The congressman is very happy serving the people of the 15th District.") Zschau's Reform Party foray, on the other tusk, could have some added Reep significance. Eye watchers may recall that when Zschau made his so-close-but-no-cigar bid for Alan Cranston's Senate seat back in 1986, the Republican Party failed to come through with requested financial help in the closing weeks of the race. Zschau subsequently lost one of the closest elections in the history of the Senate, plunged a half-millon dollars into debt, and virtually dropped out of politics to pay it back. Who was in charge of his party's Senate campaign coffers at the time? A senator from Kansas, named Bob Dole.
Diridon: The Next Generation
Santa Clara City Council candidate Rod Diridon Jr., who formally declared his electoral aspirations shortly after having his hand tipped in this column, has gotten out of the gate quick in his run for the 4th District seat about to be vacated by term-limited incumbent Dave DeLozier. In fact, young Rod might well be accused of overkill judging from his early list of endorsers. His bigshot brigade so far includes Congresswoman Anna Eshoo, state Senators Al Alquist and Byron Sher, San Jose Councilwoman Trixie Johnson, former San Jose Mayor Tom McEnery, Supervisors Mike Honda and Jim Beall, Assemblyman John Vasconcellos and Santa Clara County Sheriff Chuck Gillingham. Worried about getting tagged as the power-brokers' pick, Diridon was quick to note that he is also generating support from a number of next-generation political leaders around the Valley, such as former Santa Clara library board leader Debbie Levine, activists Marnie Seid and Rachel Dinno, and fiscal watchdogs Bob and Glorian Quigley, who led the recent unsuccessful drive to recall beleaguered Santa Clara councilman Jim Arno. With the local heavyweights already on board, the recognizably named young candidate issued a savvy, but potentially dangerous, challenge this week, pledging to voluntarily limit contributions to his campaign to $500 from any single source no matter what any other candidates might do. "We have a pretty sorry history in this city of council candidates taking contributions of more than $10,000 from a single source, like a garbage company," Young Rod reminds us, pledging to stick with his contribution limit no matter what happens. "I'm not real worried," he tells us, "plus, if you want to be a leader," he earnestly explains, "you have to lead by example. So that is what I am going to try to do." Let's see what happens if and when the garbage starts to fly. ...
Better Notes, Next Time
How public is a public hearing? Gary Wood at the Human Rights Defense Committee is steamed that after making the grand jury hearing public, the county isn't releasing transcripts from the Gustavo Soto Mesa criminal grand jury hearing. In June, the grand jury decided not to indict the cop who shot the unarmed Soto Mesa in the back of the head. Aware of the keen public interest in the case, the District Attorney's Office took the unprecedented step of opening the grand jury hearing to the public. ... In a tape of an April meeting with District Attorney George Kennedy, Kennedy told Wood the transcripts "should" be released and that he would "try" to release them. ... But Bill Larsen, the assistant DA who handles the grand jury, says no go. He says legal code provisions that allow an open hearing only in high-profile cases involving a public employee say nothing about changing policy on transcripts, which are never released for closed hearings. Transcripts are only made when they're needed for a later criminal trial. ... As for Kennedy's statements? Larsen says they resulted from an "unfortunate mixup in communication." ... Wood isn't satisfied, saying he wants to document a "clear pro-sheriff bias" displayed by the D.A. at the hearing. "Kennedy said he'd petition the court to [get the transcripts], and he hasn't." ... Terry Francke, director of the California First Amendment Coalition, points out, "If it's within the discretion of the DA to open the hearing in the first place, one would think the Legislature would intend to give the DA the discretion to release the transcripts."
Then and Thou
Trying not to choke on the political placebo of the Defense of Marriage Act, the Santa Clara County Board of Supes is slated to vote on at its Aug. 13 meeting having a domestic partners registry in Santa Clara County. ... And by the look of things, it may come down to a holy war of sorts, fought on a battlefield of gay rights. ... In response to fervent opposition from fundamentalists out at South Valley Christian, led by Pastor Peter Wilkes, the Santa Clara County Council of Churches, led by Vaughn Beckman, has thrown its cloth into the fray, joining the Human Relations Commission and the ACLU in support of the registry." We didn't want to make such a big noise out of it, but since they are, we feel we have to balance it out," reports Jim Dugan of the Human Relations Commission. ... Contrary to misconceptions, registry language does not require employers to extend benefits to a partner, but creates mutual responsibility for basic living expenses, as well as for any children raised together. Does the torrent of holy mail currently raining down upon the Supervisors offices portend a vote night showdown? Probably, Dugan predicts, but not of the ilk that would require riot gear. "Both sides have threatened to have their own prayer vigils," he notes "A bunch of people standing around praying shouldn't present too much of a problem."

Giving Arnie the Finger: Or fingers, as the case may be. Still, Phil Angelides' point was clear when he was in Santa Cruz on Monday.
What ADU Really Stands For
Nuz would like to remind all you Cruzer renters squashed into "adorable, rustic" toolsheds and "fixer-upper" outhouses that an ADU is neither an arcane contraceptive device nor a desperately scribbled promissory note but an Accessory Dwelling Unit, a.k.a. granny unit in renter's parlance, which hopefully means more affordable units for such dwellers in the future.
Still, those who witnessed state Treasurer Phil Angelides join local elected officials at the Santa Cruz Community Credit Union earlier this week could be forgiven for thinking that ADU stands for Arnie Demolition Unit, since the state treasurer frequently criticized Arnie's $15 billion deficit borrowing plan, which was recently defeated in the Legislature, even as he celebrated a $350K grant to the city and unveiled a new granny unit "how-to" manual, which he touted as a community-sustaining "antidote to sprawl."
Angelides did tell Nüz that he "may well run for governor in 2006," but he insisted that the primary reason he was in the Cruz was to promote a balanced budget and oppose cuts to California's higher education system. Such proposals, he said, would saddle California with debt for 30 years, mortgage our children's future and weaken California.
"Our state needs to be able to compete in the 21st century, not as the cheapest place to do business but as the place which produces the best-trained and globally competitive work force," Angelides said, as he was whisked off in a very official black car to address UCSC students, who are none too happy with Arnie's $3.8 billion in budget cuts, which include higher education.
Angelides was joined at the Santa Cruz Community Credit Union by CEO Ginger McNally, Assemblyman John Laird (D-Santa Cruz); newly elected Santa Cruz Mayor Scott "Lucky" Kennedy, who recently told Nüz that the Eastern-access issue (see Nüz, Dec. 3) is, to his mind, "deader than a doornail"; former Mayor Emily Reilly; and Councilmembers Tim Fitzmaurice, Cynthia Mathews and Mark Primack.
An architect by profession, Primack donated time and plans to the project pro bono, which may explain why our city was one of only 14 projects to make the grade out of 117 applications.
Either way, Primack looked way more comfy explaining ADU floor plans than he did last Friday night when he was trying to explain to Nüz what he was doing on the dance floor of the city-suing Blue Lagoon on what, by happy coincidence, turned out to be Law Enforcement Night.
Nüz had never heard of such a night before, but we did notice a gang of police officers patrolling their way from the newly opened Urban Outfitters to stake out a perimeter outside Borders on what was the busiest pre-holiday Friday night so far, with lines wrapped around the block at downtown theaters and scads of people walking around looking for bars and stores to throw $20 bills at.
What caught Nüz's attention about the cops was the hodgepodge of enforcement agencies represented by the uniforms: city of Santa Cruz, state of California Alcoholic Beverage Control, city of Watsonville, not to mention what appeared to be enforcement groupies sporting spiffy windbreakers with ice-breaking, downtown-friendly logos like "Parole" and "Probation."
One officer of the team, a local who only identified himself as "Jeff," informed Nüz that Enforcement Night is a regular event, in which law enforcement officials engage in a coordinated effort to "show a presence, check things out and make sure everything's OK."
Which is one reason why we later came to drop by the Blue Lagoon, to which a federal court jury recently awarded $113,000 in damages, three years after the nightclub first sued the city for police harassment, in a suit in which the city spent nearly half a million dollars defending itself.
On this particular evening, staffers at the Blue had no problem with the ABC doing its job by making the rounds to ensure local purveyors of spirits were up to snuff with state standards, including bug-free bottles and tax stamps all in order.
As for Primack, who was escorted on what he claims was his first visit to the Blue by a Cabrillo College Greek-dance instructor, he said, "We finally ended litigation with this place, so I wanted to drop in and see what the business is all about."
With both sides of the litigation standing down for now, Nüz interprets Primack's visit as a season-of-good-cheer overture to bury the hatchet and get on with the business of making money from our prolific downtown night life. Either way, we know he wasn't there for the dancing, because as the man who wouldn't be vice mayor told everyone when the dance lights came on, "I have inhibitions of steel."
Who You Gonna Call?
"Where have all our freedoms gone? Stolen by the PATRIOT Act!"
That's what anti-PATRIOT Act folks plan to sing at a rally, march and benefit concert for the Bill of Rights, on Sunday, Dec. 14, which is the eve of the day the legislation was ratified in 1791.
In the 212 ensuing years, a lot of things have changed, but the assault on our freedoms has escalated since Sept. 11, 2001, says Santa Cruz Bill of Rights Defense Committee member Jared Jacobs.
"How do you find out what your rights are when the people who know what they are won't tell you, and when people who know you're under investigation can't tell you that you are under investigation?" asks Jacobs.
The ACLU has brought a lawsuit against Attorney General John Ashcroft and FBI Director Robert Mueller, arguing that Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act--which gives the FBI to access "tangible things," including books, documents and personal diaries, and doesn't require investigators to show probable cause--is unconstitutional.
What's particularly disturbing about all this, says Jacobs, is that if found guilty on the basis of Section 215 investigations, a person can be named a domestic terrorist, "which is the logical equivalent to being put in a 15th-century dungeon, since you won't be charged with anything, you won't be allowed to talk to an attorney and you won't be given a trial date."
And with a confidential FBI internal memo that was recently leaked to The New York Times revealing FBI advocates spying on peaceful protesters, Jacobs admits that "every time someone joins our group, we can't help wondering who they really are."
The Bill of Rights benefit begins at 1pm, Dec. 14, with a rally at the Town Clock, followed by a march at 2pm to Motion Pacific, 408 Front St., Santa Cruz, 3-6pm. The event features Love Eternal, Vicious Cycle, Amy Obinski and ACLU speaker Ray Gruenich.

Vrdnik Врдник |

Country | Serbia |
Province | Vojvodina |

Municipality | Irig |
Population (2002) | |
• Total | 3,704 |

Vrdnik (Serbian Cyrillic: Врдник, pronounced [vř̩dniːk]) is a village in northern Syrmia, in the Vojvodina province of Serbia. It is located at southern slopes of Fruška Gora, at the border of the national park. Administratively, it belongs to Irig municipality. According to the 1991 census, the village had 3,488 residents,[1] while according to the 2002 census, number of inhabitants was 3,704. Most of the inhabitants of Vrdnik are ethnic Serbs.
In Serbian the village is known as Vrdnik (Врдник), in Croatian as Vrdnik, and in Hungarian as Rednek.
Although small, the village has several distinctive features: a thermal spa, Vrdnik-Ravanica monastery from the 16th century, former coal mine with steam power plant built in 1911, [2] but destroyed during NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999,[3] and a ruined castle, known as Castellum Rednek or Vrdnička kula (Tower of Vrdnik).
Vrdnik is placed near the heart of Fruška Gora, in a valley surrounded by its slopes, at elevation of 181–260 m and coordinates 45°07′N 19°47′E / 45.117°N 19.783°ECoordinates: 45°07′N 19°47′E / 45.117°N 19.783°E. The valley is formed by three creeks named Dubočaš, Morintov potok and Veliki potok. Most houses are built in lines (colonies) along steep streets leading uphill from the town center.
9th century BC graves of Bosut culture were found in Vrdnik.[4]
Tower of Vrdnik is significant historical monument, whose basements date from the Roman period. The tower's builder supposedly was Roman emperor Probus in 287 During the reign of the Kingdom of Hungary, a new fortress was built in the 14th century on its remains, of which only the today's tower remained. The Castellum Redneck, as it was called, was probably used for protection of Vrdnik and partly Sirmium (Sremska Mitrovica).
This first written data about Vrdnik fortress date from 1315, but they consistently reappeared only after 1702 [1] The village developed along the nearby monastery, and the population consisted of emigrants from all sides who worked as serfs at the monastery's property. They lived at the settlement called Prnjavor which was separate from the Village.
The key year for the development of Vrdnik was 1804, when a brown coal mine was opened following the discovery of large deposits. For almost a century and a half, it was the key feature of the village's development. Miners from entire Habsburg Monarchy settled in the town, forming new parts of the settlement, first of which is now known as the Old Colony (Stara Kolonija). Lipovac developed next, along the road to village and monastery Jazak. The smallest part is New Colony, raised between 1890 and 1908 and lies at the western part of the town. The part named "Clerk's line" (Činovnički red) was apparently housed by clerks from the mine and administration.[1]
The mine was closed in 1968 because deposits were largely exhausted, and coal exploitation became unviable. The village's population is in a decay since.
Historical population[edit]
- 1961: 4,610
- 1971: 4,072
- 1981: 3,612
- 1991: 3,495
The population in 2002 was:
- 74.8% Serbs
- 4.8% Croats
- 3.5% Yugoslavs
- 2.3% Hungarians
- 2.1% Slovenes
- 1.1 Montenegrins
- others
Recent developments[edit]
The traces of mine exploitation are still present all over the village, like entries to the shafts (Barbara, Gustav, Južno pomoćno, Zora, Glavno) and a number of buildings. The "Miners' house" is scheduled for transformation into an ethno-tourist attraction.
After the mine's closure, most of the population turned back to agriculture. For its favorable geographic position, the area of Vrdnik is suitable for winemaking.
The spa, accompanied with hotel with annex, bungalows, 260 beds total, and two Olympic-size swimming pools presents an important touristic asset and a source of income. The water temperature is 32.8 °C, and the spa is suitable for treatment of rheumatoid ailments, postoperative conditions, various painful disorders, and general balneologic recuperation.
Famous people from Vrdnik[edit]
- Milica Stojadinović-Srpkinja, famous Serbian poet, spent most of her life in Vrdnik.
- Franjo Ožegović, Croatian geologist, founder of Croatian petroleum geology and coal geology
- Milan Stepanović, Serbian poet from Vrdnik.

Alexander Aan released from prison
January 31, 2014
Yes, the news reports are accurate: Alexander Aan, a former Indonesian civil servant jailed for expressing his lack of belief in a God on Facebook, was released from prison on January 27, 2014, after serving 18 months of a 30-month sentence.
In January 2012, Aan was attacked at his workplace by an angry mob over posts he made on Facebook about his atheism, as well as cartoons he shared that were critical of Islamic prophet Muhammad. When police arrived, they arrested Aan and charged him with blasphemy, promoting atheism, lying on an official government document (Indonesia requires its citizens to claim one of six official religion; Aan marked Islam), and disseminating information aimed at inciting religious hatred or hostility. In June 2012, a district court found Aan guilty of disseminating information aimed at inciting religious hatred or hostility, and sentenced him to 30 months in prison. He was also fined 100 million rupiah (US $8,190).
My colleagues and I at the Center for Inquiry are ecstatic to learn that Aan has been released from prison. Aan did nothing more than exercise the most basic of human rights — the freedom to believe and to express one's beliefs — and for that he lost 18 months of his life. That is unconscionable.
We wanted to publicly celebrate Aan's release when we heard about it on January 27 but, because of the high sensitivity of his case and the precarious nature of the release, we proceeded cautiously. I have been in constant contact with Alex's friends, as well as other activists working on his case, to make sure all the reported facts were correct, and that announcing his release would not put him in further risk. It was only after the Jakarta Post published their story that we felt comfortable finally announcing Aan's release.
You see, Aan is unfortunately not yet completely free. Aan was released "on license," which means he is required to report regularly and frequently to Indonesian authorities. Furthermore, Aan is vulnerable to vigilante retribution, which means he will be forced to keep a low profile for some time. As such, I urge everyone to not draw attention to Aan or his physical whereabouts.
The Center for Inquiry has worked tirelessly on Aan's behalf -- writing Indonesian officials, organizing protests in Washington, D.C. and New York City, petitioning the White House -- and we will continue to track his case to ensure he remains safe and eventually gains complete freedom. We also remain deeply concerned over Indonesia's penal code, which allows the government to persecute atheists and religious dissidents. Articles 18 and 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights guarantee every person the rights to freedom of belief and expression. As a signatory to this treaty, Indonesia is a clearly violating its obligations, and CFI will continue to push for change.
For those interested in supporting Aan, I suggest considering making a donation to the Atheist Alliance International's scholarship fund. And for those interested in learning more about Aan's case, as well as similarly disturbing cases, I urge you to check out CFI's Campaign for Free Expression, which was launched in part to highlight Aan's plight.
#1 Syd LeRoy on Friday January 31, 2014 at 1:11pm
Any word on why they decided to release him?
#2 Daniel Mann (Guest) on Friday January 31, 2014 at 1:18pm
Kudos on Aun's immanent release. Do you think that "moderate" Indonesia's response to free speech is reflective of other Muslim nations? And reflective of the Islamic agenda in the West? Do you think that this is endemic to Islam? I think so!
Is CFI therefore concerned about Islamic inroads in the West and how the West seems to be capitulating?

Welcome on the homepage of the chair "Computer Graphics Systems" of Prof. Jürgen Döllner and his team. We like to inform you about our teaching and ongoing research activities in the analysis, planning and construction of computer graphics and multimedia systems.
Our group includes PostDocs, PhD students, and student assistants, and is headed by Prof. Jürgen Döllner. If you are interested in joining our team, please contact Jürgen Döllner.
Matthias Trapp currently works as a post-doctoral researcher, lecturer, and head of the research group '4DnD-Geovisualization' (InnoProfile Transfer Initiative) at HPI, Computergraphics Systems Chair. His research interests include the following topics:
We also offer topics for master theses.
Digital mapping services have become fundamental tools in economy and society to provide domain experts and non-experts with customized, multi-layered map contents. In particular because of the continuous advancements in the acquisition, provision, and visualization of virtual 3D city and landscape models, 3D mapping services, today, represent key components to a growing number of applications, like car navigation, education, or disaster management. However, current systems and applications providing digital 3D maps are faced by drawbacks and limitations, such as occlusion, visual clutter, or insufficient use of screen space, that impact an effective comprehension of geoinformation. To this end, cartographers and computer graphics engineers developed design guidelines, rendering and visualization techniques that aim to increase the effectiveness and expressiveness of digital 3D maps, but whose seamless combination has yet to be achieved. This work discusses potentials of digital 3D maps that are based on combining cartography-oriented rendering techniques and multi-perspective views. For this purpose, a classification of cartographic design principles, visualization techniques, as well as suitable combinations are identified that aid comprehension of digital 3D maps. According to this classification, a prototypical implementation demonstrates the benefits of multi-perspective and non-photorealistic rendering techniques for visualization of 3D map contents. In particular, it enables (1) a seamless combination of cartography-oriented and photorealistic graphic styles while (2) increasing screen-space utilization, and (3) simultaneously directing a viewer's gaze to important or prioritized information.

Striker John Carew believes he is regaining his best form at the crunch time of Aston Villa's season as they chase a domestic cup double and a Champions League spot. Martin O'Neill's side, who meet Manchester United in Sunday's Carling Cup final, are through to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and challenging for a top-four finish in the Premier League.
Carew has had injury niggles this season and in the past couple of months has been used mainly as an impact player from the bench. But the Norway international capitalised on his start against Crystal Palace in Wednesday's FA Cup fifth-round replay by winning, and scoring, two late penalties to set up a last-eight meeting at Reading on Sunday week.
Now Carew is hoping he can play a part in this weekend's meeting with Sir Alex Ferguson's side, from whom Villa have taken four points in the league this season. He said: "I've been injured and I've been working really hard to get back in shape and against Palace I felt really good – even after the game. My legs felt light. I feel I'm starting to reach my peak form again. I really needed that game to get the last bit of fitness back after a couple of setbacks. I want to be available for the team again and 100 per cent fit."
Carew added: "This is a really important stage of the season. We are in two cups still and it's great for the club. We have reached one final and we can reach another final. As regards the final on Sunday, I always hope to play but I am just available for the team."
Carew believes Villa should not be fazed by the prospect of meeting the Red Devils in what will be the West Midlanders' first major final since the 2000 FA Cup, when they were beaten by Chelsea.
He said: "In the League, we have taken four points off United so we know we have the possibility to get something out of it. We are going there planning to enjoy the moment, play good football and try to make it a great day in Villa's history. That would be fantastic.
"We have been getting better and better in the League over the last three or four years, which is important, but it's also important to get to cup finals. You really feel you are arriving. It gives even more edge to the feeling you are getting somewhere."
In stark contrast, Palace now have to concentrate on Championship survival, with uncertainty remaining over the future of their manager, Neil Warnock, who has been linked with a move to QPR.
Warnock confirmed he would be in charge for tomorrow's trip to Doncaster at least and revealed that hopes of signing a striker on loan had been dashed.
"Avoiding relegation is now the priority," he said. "There is nothing else left in the season. We have got a good bunch. We don't score enough goals.
Warnock added: "Can I deny the speculation that I am moving to QPR? No. Could this have been my last game? It could have – but it won't be."

Linux and the PalmPilot
My brother and I share many things, not the least of which is an interest in electronic gadgets. I tend to go big—new computers, new monitors, new expenses. My brother thinks small—Personal Digital Assistants, also known as PDAs. He's collected a few different models over the past couple of years. Right now I think he's working on a PSION or possibly one of those Redmond atrocities known as Win/CE PDAs. My brother says of these that "wince" is about right.
I had mentioned sometime back that I wanted to get a PDA and thought a U.S. Robotics PalmPilot (now 3Com) would be the one to get. I had read somewhere that there was Linux software for use with the Pilot and that meant I could download and upload data directly to my Linux system. Fortunately, my little brother was listening that particular day. For Christmas this year he gave me his old PalmPilot. Okay, it's used—but it's still a cool gift.
The PalmPilot actually comes in four different configurations. The earlier versions are the Pilot 1000 (the version I now have) and the Pilot 5000. The newer versions are the Pilot Personal and the Pilot Professional. The older versions don't have a backlit display and come with significantly less memory. They can, however, be upgraded. My brother had upgraded the 1000 to 1MB of memory prior to giving it to me. Besides more memory, the new models have version 2.0 of the operating system, and the Professional has a TCP/IP stack and e-mail tools.
If you're going to use a PalmPilot with Linux, you need to start with its HOWTO document. The PalmPilot HOWTO is available from the Linux Documentation Project (LDP) as well as from its official site. The HOWTO, written by David H. Silber, is quite easy to follow and offers all the information you need to get started. I should note that I managed to get the software working using only the HOWTO—I didn't need to subscribe to any mailing lists or scan weeks of newsgroup archives. This is a credit to both the HOWTO author and the simplicity of the PalmPilot.
The HOWTO points the reader to the primary software archives from which you can download a variety of packages. The packages of interest to the new user are:
pilot-link: The main package of interest, it includes the pilot-xfer program for transferring programs and data to and from the Pilot and Linux along with a host of other tools. The current revision of this software is 0.8.9. Note that the HOWTO links directly to the 0.8.2 version. The software archives list this package as pilot-link.x.y.z.tar.gz, where x.y.z is the version number.
PilotManager: Graphical interface to the Pilot for UNIX/X systems. Handles most of the tasks that the pilot-xfer software does from the command line, but uses an X-based interface. This is a Perl/Tk application.
MakeDoc: Turns text files into a document format better suited for the Pilot.
prc-tools: The package you need in order to develop software for the Pilot.
The first package to retrieve is the pilot-link software, which contains a collection of about 30 programs. Most of them have very specific tasks such as uploading or retrieving "Memos" or "ToDo" lists. Of these programs, the most useful is pilot-xfer. This program is used to back up and restore complete programs and databases, even the entire Pilot system. It can even do incremental backups automatically. All of the programs in the pilot-link package are command-line programs.
PilotManager is a Perl/Tk graphical interface to the Pilot. It apparently works with CDE's Calendar applications, but since I don't run CDE I didn't try this feature out. The list of features states the PilotManager has four primary features: uploading new applications and databases, synchronizing the Pilot with the CDE Calendar application, uploading text files as Pilot Memos, and backing up the Pilot to your UNIX system.
MakeDoc is a tool for converting ordinary text files into a compressed format. This format can be read by Rick Bram's PilotDOC reader, which is now a shareware product known as AportisDoc Trialware 2.0. Rick developed this reader because the Pilot's document handling was limited to relatively small documents.
Finally, prc-tools are a set of tools for building applications for the PalmPilot. This package is necessary only if you intend to do development work. If you go this route, you'll need to get the GNU gcc, gdb and binutils packages as well. All of this is explained in the HOWTO.
