Hi Andy, I find this discussion very useful and appreciate your insights as well.

We could spent lots of time coming up with rules for defaults but felt that it was not worth our time. That said, we don't require an implementation to throw an exception if it encounters an incomplete mapping. But we do require that an implementation support a completely specified mapping, and that's what the TCK will do. > > >>> embedded-element has no effect with this example because the element >>> (BigDecimal) is already embedded (in the join table), and has no >>> way of not being embedded. >>> >> >> I'd say that serialized implies embedded-element (and vice-versa, >> which is why I'm now questioning the value of embedded-element as an >> attribute). >> > > OK.

That is accomplished simply by the existence of the join element. To restate, if there is a join element in the field metadata, then the field's data is contained in a join table. This is independent of the issue of whether the data is embedded or not. It seems that the "embedded" term is almost universally misunderstood, and I need to do a better job of explaining it. Embedded as applied to PC types means that the persistent fields in the PC are stored as columns in the row individually. Which row depends on whether there is a join in the field metadata. This is where Example 9 is instructive, and I believe the example is correct. If serialized is specified as true, then the entire PC instance is serialized and stored in one column. Embedded as applied to Collection/Array/Map types is always true for relational data stores. If serialized is specified to true, then the entire instance is serialized and stored in one column. A join table is commonly used to store each element (or entry) in one row of the join table. Then the embedded-element, embedded-key, and embedded- value can be used to determine how the elements or entries themselves are stored. Somewhat of a digression: I don't know why we need embedded-element, embedded-key, and embedded-value, since we have the <embedded> element that is nested inside the <element>, <key>, and <value> elements. I'll add some examples of this to the spec, probably in Chapter 15. > > >>> 3.

No disagreement there. Almost. Just to emphasize, there is one row in the join table for each Map.Entry consisting of a key and a value and a reference back to the primary table for the class. If the key is an Integer, Long, Short, etc., it is actually an embedded-key in the join table row. And this is the default for Integer. > > 2.

How > would you > store these ? > Would you have a BLOB column for the map keys, and have the map > values stored off in their own table (since they aren't embedded) ? Depends on the type of the key. If it is a PC type, embedded-key true means that the key is mapped to possibly multiple columns in the join table row. If it is an Integer, then embedded-key is the default, and means the "normal" mapping of using a column in the join table to store the Integer value. Embedded-value false means that the values are stored elsewhere (like in the table containing the extent of the PC instances). And the only thing in the join table row is a foreign key to the primary table of the PC type. > This > would make managing the map a bit tricky for the JDO impl (to say the > least!).

If the map were a Map<Integer, Address>, embedded-key true means to store the key in the join table row, and embedded-value true means to store the value in multiple columns of the same join table row. > Would you store them as a single BLOB column in the main table. > I would store the key AND value in the join table (as per example 9 > in the > spec - so we gain columns for key, and columns for value in the > join table).

Now that I'm back at school, I'm a little more adjusted to life in the U.S. That's not to say that I don't miss France. Numerous times, I've found myself walking back from class and thinking, "I could really use a crepe right now." But alas, there is not an abundance of crepe stands in Idaho. I've (mostly) stopped speaking French to people who don't understand me, and I have gotten used to using dollars again.
As I stepped up on the block, I had never had the opportunity to hear 60+ people all yelling my name. I thought it would cause my nerves to get the best of me, but it made me just that much more excited for the race.
I was nervous for the our first home swim meet, as I had the flu the week before and had been out of the water for four days, but I think having the home advantage helped me quite a bit. I've never been to a meet where more than 10 students came to watch, so having the bleachers packed was quite an experience.
It's been 8 weeks of school here at C of I and I've had one of the best times of my life. I've made some great friends, had some crazy times and learned a lot. Halloween was awesome, bowling night was a ton of fun, and the Yote Fam cheer section at the NNU game was crazy to be a part of.
There is nothing that brings the C of I family together quite like free sandwiches. That, along with the hope that we might just see someone get hit in the face by a leather-bound canon going 50 mph and we have ourselves one exciting Saturday night.
The Lady Yotes geared up for a match against Salem, Oregon's Corban University. The winner would be granted a lifetime subscription to Cat Fancy magazine and the loser would get…I don't know. This joke sort of got away from me readers. I apologize. I'll be sharper with my comedic skills next week.
The first weekend of break for me consisted of swimming, followed by some pretty memorable times in San Francisco. The swim team took a 12-hour bus trip down to Mills College for a dual meet against UCSC in Oakland, California on Thursday morning. Although it was a painfully long trip down, our first race day was not until the afternoon the next day.
No accomplishment can compare to that of a Saturday well spent.
Saturdays, I put aside all books and assignments, forget to-do lists, and banish learning and all other scholarly activities. Those are all things to worry about some other time…like Sunday. I had a fantastic Saturday, so, readers, join me as I take a walk down memory lane remembering all the wonderful times I had less than 48 hours ago. Ah, yes, the good ol' days.
A month into school and I'm surviving. Well, honestly I am more than surviving, I'm loving it. I've made some great friends already and my classes are great.
I love the fact that there is no excuse for being unprepaired other than not managing your time. I also like how pretty much everything I have to do is in a 500-yard radius. It makes it seem like I can do a lot more in my day because I don't have to drive across town for every activity I do. I miss my family quite a bit, but I'm staying busy enough to keep from beeing homesick.
I finally have a moment of peace where I can just sit down and update my blog post. From move in to my first two days of classes, it's been a pretty crazy week. I can't believe that only a week ago I was moving it, it feels so much longer, in a good way that is.
Well, this is my first blog post, so I feel the need to introduce myself. My name is Blake Kaufman, nice to meet you all. I am an incoming freshman coming from Summit High School in Bend, Oregon.
I spent this last weekend in Tacoma, for my first collegiate track meet. For everyone who will never have the opportunity to experience a team road trip as a Yote, this is basically how it works for the track team:
1. Wake up early on Friday morning, get on the bus. If you are me, you will think about how important it is to not sleep through your alarm, so that you have a dream about sleeping through your alarm, so that when it happens in real life you think it's just another dream, and then actually wake up 5 minutes before the bus leaves.

H. Williams Dies Under Freight Car Inspector Run Over While Working at A-D-M Railyards Nicholas H. Williams, car inspector lor the Chicago North Western railroad, was killed this morning while working under a car in the Archer-Daniels-Midland company switchyards. Williams, 57, apparently had been checking the wheels when either an A-D-M tractor or a railroad switch engine was hooked onto it and mov- ed the car a few feet. Time of the accident had not definitely been ascertained. Williams is known to have talked to an A-D-M company employe about 9 a. m.

Vatican Radio Promises Revelation by Holy See By Philip Clarke Vatican Vatican radio has urged the faithful to await A "great revelation" b'y the Holy See concerning the tomb of St. Peter. This advice, it was learned, is the only authoritative Vatican com- ment yet made on American newspaper reports that St. Peter's bones have been found under St. Peter's Basilica here.

The New York Times reported recently that the bones of the apos- tle were understood to have been found less than 20 feet below the pavement of the Basilica. Vatican sources unofficially have labelled the report fantastic. Comment within the Vatican re- portedly is divided some be- tianity. "And it is not without profound significance that one who divulged (such news) up to now on two solemn occasions was the pope." The Vatican radio and Quotidia- no recalled that the pope on May 13, 1942, spoke of archeological work, then only recently begun in the grotto of the Vatican. The pontiff said the findings had demonstrated, among other things, that the Basilica of St. Peter was built on the tomb of the Prince of the apostles.

But American power has magic only when, as in Indonesia, it is married to what is certainly the basic pol- itical force in Asia nationalism. And precisely the same thing is true of communist power.

Thought I should introduce myself.
I currently don't have a Beemer, but am about - I hope - to find a good 2002-2004 Coupe E46.
I did a few years back have a fabulous E39 from new, but that's gone, times have changed and I've had an old Honda Civic for 4 years, done me proud.
But now I've got £5k-£8k for a small engined E46 Coupe.
Any suggestions what to go for/what not to buy/what to look for?
I'm in Yorkshire BTW.
Cheers all.

On Wednesday Usmanov maintained his company has no "further plans" to obtain more than a 25% stake in the Gunners.
And a statement on Thursday said: "Red and White is pleased to confirm its previous statement that it has no current intention to make an offer for Arsenal Holdings Plc ('Arsenal') and is committing to this position for a further six months."
Earlier this month, Red & White - fronted by former Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein - increased their stock to just over 24%.
Usmanov's interest precipitated a 'lock-down' agreement by the Gunners board, which meant the Uzbek-born metals magnate cannot launch a formal takeover bid at this moment.
The statement continued: "Red and White has the necessary funding to increase its stake further. However, it confirms that it will not acquire a shareholding in Arsenal which would trigger an obligation to make an offer for the shares in Arsenal.
"As the largest shareholder in Arsenal, Red and White is delighted with the excellent results of the club on the field and would encourage all parties to focus on a trophy winning conclusion to the domestic and European campaigns."Reuse content

Corporate Advocacy Program™
When I was on maternity leave I was bringing home any income so my husband and I were having difficulities paying our mortgage on time. We were paying each month even though was a few weeks late each time. Everytime we talked to US Bank they asked why were paying late and I explained I was not bringing in any income while on Maternity leave.
They said they maybe able to assist so they asked me to send proof I was on maternity leave which I did. In turn we got a letter stating we were approved for a loan modification which would temporarily lower our mortgage payments for atleast 6 months from $725 to $535.
So we for 6 months paid that amount on time each month. Then at the end of the 6 months I got a letter asking for a new hardship letter and two consecutive paystubs to see if we qualify to stay on the program. At this time I was was working full time and my husband was self employed. I faxed a new hardship letter with my paystubs plus an income statement showing what my husband makes.
They stated they needed atleast 6 months of income for my husband which I told I couldn't provide since him just recently took over the family business when his father became ill. They asked for 2 income statements and 2 bank statements for my husband. I asked if we didn't qualify what would happen. She said we would then be due for 6 mortgage payments or a lien would be placed on our house.
I argued that we were never behind before going on this program and shouldn't owe 6 months. We paid every month the lowered mortgage amount. She continued to argue with me and state that if information isn't submitted or we don't meet the guidelines we are due the full 6 months of mortgage payments at once. Our intentions were to never stay on this program and to go back to our original mortgage payment and are now scared of losing our home.

The Teaching Of Digital Design In Electrical Engineering Courses
Tsvetinov, Petco E. & Schwarzlmuller, Anton (1992) The Teaching Of Digital Design In Electrical Engineering Courses. In van Wyk, Daan (Ed.) AFRICON '92 Proceedings 3rd AFRICON Conference, 22-24 September 1992, South Africa.
|PDF (373kB)
It is helpful to regard teaching as a "creation of environments in which students can learn effectively". Accepting this philosophy we think that the teaching of digital electronics in electrical engineering courses currently necessitates: 1. Emphasis on principles and methods in design teaching. 2. Ready access for the students to high quality and friendly CAD environment. 3. Providing all students with working experience from conception to implementation. 4. Developing confidence in undergraduates in the application of structured design methods and the successful achievement of fully functional design systems as proof positive of design engineering compelence. 5. Introducing students to the "non-technical" skills requircd for the successful completion and dissemination of an erginwring design project.

For a new project I am lookin' for a vector sltyled background, it needs a little bit the vibe of this pictures:
http://partyflock.nl/photo/518530.html http://partyflock.nl/photo/527655.html
It needs a stage with place for a logo (just the sitename with a special style) & must have a sunny style. So not like on picture 2 a rainy weather.
If somebody could make a vector like this you could send me an email with some work and a price.

2013 PFF All-Pro Team
The PFF team got together to select their All-Pro team. Some picks were relatively easy, while some split the group, but who made it?
2013 PFF All-Pro Team
Last week the Associated Press announced their annual All-Pro team, and after a long season it's time we do the same.
What makes our a little different is what we have to work with. At Pro Football Focus we have four people watching every game. Two collecting player participation data, one running through analysis with broadcast footage and another using the fantastic All-22 footage provided by Game Rewind to run the rule over that. Contentious plays go to our arbitration process and all told we've spent roughly 30 hours on each game.
The upshot is we've spent more time watching and analyzing NFL players than anyone else, and why we feel this is the most authoritative set of All-Pro selections available anywhere.
Quarterback: Peyton Manning (DEN)
Was there ever any doubt? Manning was our top-ranked quarterback and a consensus pick by our five judges. His numbers may actually be slightly flattering, but there's no denying his +43.3 grade was significantly better than Rivers' +26.5.
Second Team: Philip Rivers (SD)
Running Back: LeSean McCoy (PHI)
Not just the league rushing champion, but the champion of our grades by some distance. McCoy does benefit from an excellent offensive line that puts him in good situations, but he still makes plenty happen once he gets past the line of scrimmage. We said last year that Charles wasn't quite back to his 2010 best, but you can forget about that now with some tremendous work with ball in hand.
Second Team: Jamaal Charles (KC)
Fullback: Anthony Sherman (KC)
We believe a fullback should be a lead blocker, not just a bigger back. Hence why Sherman, the best lead blocker in the league this year, gets the nod. Tolbert wasn't endorsed by all our voters for this reason, but the logic is he does enough lead blocking and well enough that when put with his other skills he's better than the rest on offer.
Second Team: Mike Tolbert (CAR)
Tight End: Jimmy Graham (NO)
It wasn't exactly the year of the tight end this year. Graham, who is a glorified receiver in how he blocks, was a monster catching the ball with a huge 16 touchdowns and 1,215 yards. Normally we might look for a more rounded guy, but there just wasn't one. Davis is a worthy second-teamer, though both men can be counting their lucky stars that the excellent Rob Gronkowski spent most of the season injured.
Second Team: Vernon Davis (SF)
Wide Receivers: Brandon Marshall (CHI) and Antonio Brown (PIT)
It wasn't easy leaving out players like Josh Gordon, Demaryius Thomas and A.J. Green (to name three), but we're happy with what we're left with. It's rare that a receivers blocking plays much part in our decision making, but when you can complement 1,295 yards and 12 touchdowns with a +17.0 run blocking grade (the next highest was +6.2) you get a true every-down wide receiver weapon in Marshall. Brown would finish the year our top-ranked pure receiving wide-out, but might consider him lucky that a player like Calvin Johnson missed so much time over the season.
Second Team: Calvin Johnson (DET) and Andre Johnson (HOU)
*Slot Receiver: Jordy Nelson (GB)
Given how the league has changed we've added a twelfth person to represent that. This year that means a spot for a receiver who spends plenty of time from the slot. Nelson operated everywhere for the Packers with 52.1% of his routes run from the slot. He was tremendous given some of the quarterbacks he was left to work with.
Second Team: Anquan Boldin (SF)
Left Tackle: Joe Thomas (CLE)
Some of the team are a bit tired of the less than stellar run blocking from Thomas, but he remains the King of Left Tackles in pass protection, especially impressive given how his quarterbacks like to hold the ball. Williams edged out Jordan Gross, a slow starting Jason Peters, Tyron Smith, Joe Staley and the two-positioned Andrew Whitworth at the deepest spot of talent on offense.
Second Team: Trent Williams (WAS)
Left Guard: Evan Mathis (PHI)
Three years in Philadelphia, three years in our All-Pro team. Mathis isn't the best in pass protection but his work in the run game can't be matched for the sheer relentlessness with which he gets and maintains position.
Second Team: Josh Sitton (GB)
Center: Jason Kelce (PHI)
It's impressive that even with a horrible performance against the Giants (the lowest grade of any center this year) Kelce would still finish our top-ranked center. The work of the Eagles' interior was instrumental in their running back putting up such big numbers.
Second Team: Alex Mack (CLE)
Right Guard: Louis Vasquez (DEN)
One of the free agent signings of the summer, Vasquez has taken his game to another level in Denver with his usual solid pass protection, but also some real standout work in the run game. Kudos as well to Larry Warford for making the team as a rookie. That's easier said than done.
Second Team: Larry Warford (DET)
Right Tackle: Phil Loadholt (MIN)
It wasn't a great year for right tackles, especially with Sebastian Vollmer going down. That left us with a selection that was essentially two from three. With the team agreed that what Loadholt brings in the run game should get him the first team nod, it was left between Strief and Demar Dotson, with Strief edging the votes for his sheer consistency.
Second Team: Zach Strief (NO)
Turn to Page 2 for the defense and special teams.

Events DC on Thursday launched its recruitment efforts for a job training program aimed at preparing 600 District residents for positions at the Marriott Marquis convention center hotel that is slated to open next year.
Applicants can now begin to apply for the program, either online or in person. The training is set to get underway in December and conclude in March 2014. The sessions are to be held at eight locations across all quadrants of the city.
At a kickoff event at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Councilmember Jack Evans (D-Ward 2) said, "This is exactly what needs to be done to help our city. . .This is just one example of many that we have to do over and over and over again to really make this a city for everyone."
Mayor Vincent C. Gray, Councilmember Marion Berry (D-Ward 8) and Councilmember Vincent Orange (D-At Large) also attended the event.
The program will be overseen by Goodwill of Greater Washington. Goodwill is partnering with several other local organizations, including One DC, Progressive Partners, and University of the District of Columbia Community College, for this $2 million initiative.
Catherine Meloy, chief executive of Goodwill of Greater Washington, said the group is employing a variety of tactics to spread the word to local residents about the program: They've taken out newspaper ads, launched a Web site and social media campaign, and are relying on their partner organizations to spread the word to through their own communities.
Meloy said the program is a city-wide effort, but said Wards 5,7 and 8 will "have attention given to them," because those neighborhoods have the greatest need for job placement.

Our log sided two level vacation home is located 5 miles from Colebrook, NH and 5 miles from the famous Balsams Grand Resort and Wilderness Ski Area. The cabin sits on over 6 acres of woods and open land, offering peace and quiet along with views of surrounding mountains. Access to snowmobile Corridor Trail 18 is a minute away, and there is direct access to the ATV trail system, connecting to Pittsburg, Errol, and N. Stratford. The area abounds with lakes and streams for fishing, mountain trails for hiking, waterfalls for viewing, and many areas to view wildlife, particularly moose. There are 3 golf courses within 5 miles, including the Balsam's Panorama course, rated the number one course in NH open to the public. The kitchen is fully equipped with stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, electric fry pan, crockpot, cooking utensils, pots and pans, dishes and silverware. From the deck you can enjoy sunrises over Keyser Mt. and sunsets over Vermont's Mt. Monadnock.
Additional Information: We have Dish Network satellite TV with the local channels from Portland, ME. There are 3 TVs, a DVD player, and 2 VCRs. The TVs can each receive a different channel at the same time. There are a few movies on DVD and VHS tape at the cabin. Video rentals are available in town, or bring your own. .
Our family rented this nice house on a beautiful piece of land. It's right on the ATV trails. Gorgeous well kept home and well worth the money. Owners are very nice. No complaints and we hope to rent it again!
I had a great time at Unwind Acres. The place is nicely furnished and very comfortable. I had booked a two week stay and four days into it, I booked it again for next year. It is nice and quiet with a remote feel but only minutes away from the center of town and all of its conveniences. The owner Craig was helpful through the entire process.
I couldn't recommend it more highly (unless of course you want to rent it for the same time that I do). :)
We spent four very relaxing days here and really enjoyed our time. The owner is wonderfully helpful, friendly, and has kept the property up to a very high level. There are plenty of lovely fall drives nearby, and a store for groceries (though the kitchen is stocked with all the condiments and basics.) There are a few restaurants around--don't miss the Tall Timbers in Pittsburg! Our only regret is that we didn't see any moose--guess we'll need to make a return trip!
Saying the place is beautiful is an understatement. My group was impressed by the accommodations and we will be coming back. Do not hesitate to book this cabin...
The name of this property is very fitting - "Unwind Acres." The decor and furnishings are incredibly enoyable and comfortable! There is NOTHING missing here.....just bring your clothes and food. If you like to cook.....the kitchen is stocked with every pot,pan, dish and utensil you would ever look for, and more! We walked in and booked the following year same dates before the property owner was done showing us around. Very Peaceful and great family retreat!
Thank you and we will see you next year...we had a great time!
Unwind Acres certainly lived up to its name for three weary adults and two young grandchildren. This cabin is perfect for families since the children can be downstairs and the adults upstairs, especially at night. The lovely views from all the wide front windows made relaxing a dream, and the quiet nights made for blissful sleeping. The cabin is very private but there is a long road for wonderful walking with views of the notch on every hilltop. Our visit made us want to move to Colebrook!
The cabin is located 5 miles east of Colebrook Village, on a paved town highway, halfway from the village to Dixville Notch and the Balsams. It is a short drive to the Diamond Ponds, Coleman State Park and Dixville Notch State Park. There is easy access to the snowmobile trail system connecting to Errol, Diamond Pond, and Pittsburg as well as Maine, Vermont, and Quebec. We are at an elevation of 1,500 feet, assuring dependable snow conditions. Summer activities include golf at the Colebrook Country Club or the 2 courses at The Balsams, The Blessing of the Bikes (the weekend after Laconia Bike Week), and the Colebrook-Pittsburg Moose Festival in August. Fall brings outstanding foliage viewing and winter follows with snowmobiling, downhill and cross country skiing, ice fishing, sledding, and snowshoeing.
Other Activities: snowmobiling and ATV riding
Ski: The Balsams Wilderness Ski Area is 5 miles from the house and is a 'family' oriented ski area with a vertical drop of about 1,000'. Several larger areas, Saddleback Mt., Sunday River, Burke Mt., Bretton Woods, and Wildcat are all located with a 1.5 hour drive.

The late Seve Ballesteros had movie star-like charisma, so it's fitting that his story could soon be coming to the silver screen. A draft of a screenplay about the legendary golfer's formative years has been completed, and it already has a producer, Englishman Stephen Evans, whose credits include The Madness of King George. The biopic could go into production as early as next year, according to Geoffrey McNab of The Independent:
Evans describes Seve as a Cinema Paradiso-style drama set in the world of golf.The filmmakers said the role of Seve is still up for grabs. The Spaniard's spikes are undoubtedly big ones to fill, but allow us to offer a few suggestions… Antonio Banderas: Oozes Spanish charm and his characters have a Seve-like knack for escaping trouble. Javier Bardem: Wonderfully versatile actor who can channel just about anyone. Bonus: Seve won five majors; Bardem has won five Goyas. Andy Garcia: Single digit-handicapper. And he can muster a glare every bit as intense as Seve's. Johnny Depp: Probably a reach, but if he can pull off Captain Jack Sparrow... Sprechen sie back pain? Couples discusses his radical treatment in GermanyYou'd never know it from his laconic demeanor, but Fred Couples suffers from excruciating back pain. By the end of last season, the discomfort was so great that he could barely sleep at night. In Houston this week to defend his title at the Insperity Championship, the Presidents Cup captain revealed his latest attempt at relief, an experimental procedure that isn't approved in the United States. Steve Campbell at the Houston Chronicle has the details:
"He came from a very proud background, an impoverished background, and he ended up marrying into the richest, (most) wealthy business, aristocratic family in Spain," the producer explained.
Desperate times drove Couples to make the trek to Dusseldorf, Germany, for a treatment known as Orthokine therapy. Developed by orthopedic surgeon Peter Wehling and molecular biologist Julio Reinecke, the procedure involves using proteins derived from the patient's blood as medication. During a five-day regimen, Couples made six office visits.Tweet of the day Grinding it out through the Frys.com weather delay: @PaulStankowski: My current view waiting for fog to lift!
"Takes 20 minutes for this procedure every day, and he talks to you for 10 minutes, and you go on your way," Couples said.
One of the patients who preceded Couples by a week, he said, was Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant, who was treating an arthritic right knee. Fellow golfer Vijay Singh went in for back treatment a few days after Couples and offered this testimonial: "It's worked miracles." Among the other reported patients of Wehling are former Rockets All-Star Tracy McGrady and Pope John Paul II.
"I felt better after seeing this guy than I felt when I was 30," Couples said. "It was bizarre."

embargo: for immediate release
Commenting on the government announcement today (Thursday) that Dame Carol Black and David Frost are to carry out an independent review into sickness absence, TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber said:
'If this were to be a genuine attempt to support those on long-term sickness get back to work then the TUC would welcome it with open arms. However we are concerned that it will end up as just another part of the government's cost-saving onslaught on the income and rights of those at work, and those on benefits.
'The fact that the review is being conducted by a leading voice of employers' interests, with no corresponding involvement from unions representing workers affected by sickness absence, gives us little confidence in the outcome.
'You do not get workers back to work by cutting their access to benefits or pay. You get them back by providing access to early rehabilitation and supporting those who have been ill for a long time by giving them the confidence to return.
'The other way to reduce the number of people on long term sick leave is to prevent them from becoming sick in the first place, but the cuts in the budgets of the Health and Safety Executive, and the fall in enforcement activity from local authority safety inspectors mean more employers can get away with running unsafe and unhealthy workplaces.'

Request to Waive Memo - STN 125214/0 from referral to Blood Products Advisory Committee - Seraclone Anti-s (Monoclonal)
Director, Office of Blood Research and Review
Acting Director, Division of Blood Applications
Diane Maloney, J.D., Associate Director for Policy, CBER
STN 125214/0 is an original biologics license application (BLA) submitted by Biotest AG for Blood Grouping Reagent, Anti-s1 (Monoclonal), under the trade name Seraclone ®. Biotest AG holds Biologics Licenses for other blood grouping reagents that are formulated for automated testing. Seraclone ® Blood Grouping Reagent, Anti-s (Monoclonal) is formulated for phenotyping blood specimens using manual tube agglutination methods.
Reasons for Waiving Referral to BPAC
The Division of Blood Applications in the Office of Blood Research and Review reviewed information from this application and determined that referral to the Blood Products Advisory Committee (BPAC) prior to approval was not needed for the following reasons (FDAAA [HR 3580-138 SEC. 918: REFERRAL TO ADVISORY COMMITTEE]):
- The manufacture and use of Blood Grouping Reagents from source material of monoclonal origin is well-established, widely used and well-understood. FDA licensed the first monoclonal Blood Grouping Reagents (Anti-A and Anti-B) in 1985.
- The manufacture of Biotest's Seraclone ® Blood Grouping Reagent, Anti-s (Monoclonal) is similar to that of their currently licensed products, Blood Grouping Reagents (Formulated for Automated Testing) and Anti-Human Globulin (Formulated for Automated Testing).
- The principle of the hemagglutination test dates back to 1900 when Karl Landsteiner discovered the A, B, and O blood groups. Performing the hemagglutination test using Blood Grouping Reagent, Anti-s (Monoclonal) for manual testing is thus well-understood. The s antigen, if present on the red blood cells, binds with the Anti-s in the reagent. After incubation, the cells are washed to remove excess antibody. Anti-human globulin is added and forms red blood cell agglutinates if the antibody has attached to the antigen on the red blood cells. The presence of hemagglutination indicates the presence of the s antigen.
- Biotest's Blood Grouping Reagents (Formulated for Automated Testing) and Seraclone ® Blood Grouping Reagents for manual testing are both manufactured from monoclonal cell lines.
- Blood Grouping Reagent, Anti-s (Monoclonal) is for in-vitro diagnostic testing. Positive and negative controls are required to be performed with patient and donor testing to ensure the validity of the test results.
- The results of the in-house and field trial testing did not raise any concern related to safety, purity, potency, specificity, or stability.
- Review of information submitted in the BLA for Blood Grouping Reagent, Anti-s (Monoclonal) did not raise any controversial issues or pose unanswered scientific questions which would have benefited from advisory committee discussion and recommendation.
- There are no current concerns regarding the risk/benefit ratio. In fact, there is benefit in approving this product since there are few donors with anti-s suitable for use in the manufacture of polyclonal reagent. The test is most often used in confirming the s phenotype in a patient whose plasma contains anti-s and subsequently identifying blood donors who lack the s antigen in support of the patient's transfusion needs. Furthermore, a crossmatch, i.e., compatibility test, is performed prior to transfusion whenever a patient has or had anti-s in their plasma.
Letter ready comments that summarize this memo to be included in the approval letter:
We did not refer your application to the Blood Products Advisory Committee because the mechanisms of manufacturing monoclonal reagents and their use in hemagglutination testing in immunohematology are well-understood. Our review of information submitted in your BLA, including the study design and trial results, did not raise concerns or controversial issues which would have benefited from an advisory committee discussion.
1 The antigen for s is referred to as "little s" to distinguish it from its antithetical allele S that is referred to as "big S." Likewise, the antibody is referred to as "anti-little s." In the labeling, "anti-s" has a bar over the "s" to ensure that it is not confused with "S".

Terrific staff and great location convenient to the Convention Center and Disneyland. We were there for a Trade Show and it could not have worked out better. We particularly liked the 'private bathroom/shower' shower arrangement. Staff could not have been more helpful and I happened to meet the owner, who is appears to be a 'hands on' style manager.. Everyone was extremely professional and it was a very well run park.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
We were there for two months to escape the heat in the desert. Nice landscaped sites, wide pads, great cable hook up. Clean restrooms. Good location near the I-15. Very nice breeze in the upper sites. Terrific staff, great service and wonderfully landscaped sites. I almost don't want to write to much positive for fear that they won't have room for us in the future. Our favorite park, so far!

Issue No. 05 - September/October (2005 vol. 9)
pp: 7-9
DOI Bookmark: http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/MIC.2005.102
Greg Goth , Freelance Technology Writer
A recent report from the United Nations' working group on Internet governance (WGIG) suggests that the debate over the topic might be entering a more placid period. Notably, the reports recommendations don't include immediate and draconian changes to the current architecture or oversight mechanism.
On the other hand, those at the highest levels of oversight don't expect the status quo to last forever. Technologists are also concerned that governments will try to replace technical solutions that work, albeit imperfectly — excluding those unable to use Roman character sets, for example — with politically expedient solutions that could cause technological nightmares.
Seeking Global Consensus
The debate's nuances will come to the forefront of discussion in the time leading up to the second phase of the World Summit on the Information Society, which is scheduled for 16 to 18 November in Tunis ( www.itu.int/wsis/). Markus Kummer, executive coordinator for the UN working group ( www.wgig.org), says he's heartened by the fact that people even recognize that there are nuances now, following acrimonious discussion leading up to the world summit's first phase in Geneva in 2003.
"We had very much what I would call a black-and-white picture," Kummer says. "One side said, 'Everything is fine. There's no real governance issue; it works beautifully,' and the other side said, 'Yes, but it's not legitimate. It needs to be changed. It ought to be governed in the form of traditional international covenants and arrangements.' By that, they mean clearly traditional intergovernmental organizations where governments have a lead and sit at the top of the table, perhaps deciding to let in some of the other stakeholders, such as civil society and the private sector. So this was clearly a clash of two different visions of how to run the world in general and how to run the Internet in particular."
The way out of the deadlock, Kummer says, was to ask the UN Secretary General to set up the WGIG. This was, by no means, a mandate to come up with a new model and architecture; instead, it was a mandate to investigate ways to reach global consensus. The group had three main issues to address:
• come up with a working definition of exactly what Internet governance is;
• define relevant public policy issues; and
• develop an understanding of the respective roles and responsibilities of the various actors, including governments, the private sector, civil society, and technological standards bodies.
Vinton Cerf, chair of the board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, praises both Kummer and working group chair Nitin Desai for reducing the level of acrimony directed toward ICANN during the first phase of the WSIS.
"On the whole, I thought the focus moved away from the discussions in WSIS 1 and initial discussions at WGIG from a total focus on ICANN to a much broader set of Internet governance issues written large," Cerf says, "issues, which are not in the purview of ICANN and are still a great concern and of public interest: fraud and abuse and all the other things that can happen on the Internet — not just in domain names but elsewhere."
The Product and the Process
The 40-member working group released its report on 18 July, featuring four options for restructuring global Internet oversight ( www.wgig.org/docs/WGIGREPORT.pdf). Although three of the four describe a greatly diminished role for ICANN and the US government, the report doesn't echo the amount of criticism expressed in Geneva in 2003.
"I'm actually relieved that the outcome of the WGIG was fairly constructive, and I think it actually gave ICANN an opportunity to educate people about how ICANN works and what its parts are — what its objectives are — and I don't think that was well understood in the past," Cerf says. "That led to an awful lot of misunderstanding and speculation."
Kummer concurs with Cerf to a large degree.
"ICANN came out of this exam quite well, except [regarding] the question of whether it is truly multilateral in the classical sense of basically being an intergovernmental organization, and in that sense, ICANN is truly not a multilateral organization. It is certainly international in a sense — its board is international, its staff is international — but it's not multilateral in the classical sense that governments sit on the board and make the ultimate decisions."
Ironically, Kummer says the WGIG strayed from the usually elaborate diplomatic protocol (in which government representatives from regional groups speak first, followed by those from individual nations, with nongovernmental entities allowed to participate almost as an afterthought) to one more akin to the open discussions of ICANN meetings in eliciting comments. The working group is actually as proud of the discussion process as the finished report itself.
Kummer says the openness of the process might best be symbolized by the first person to address the working group at its last meeting preceding the report's release: rather than following the usual UN pecking order, the WGIG heard first from IETF Chair Brian Carpenter.
"Brian's observations were excellent statements," says Kummer. "But I think it was also a nice symbol that it wasn't any government actor, but an eminent engineer who was first to address the assembly, and the amazing thing was, nobody objected to that. In this sense, it already shows great progress, that government actors realized nongovernment actors have substantive contributions to make in the debate. The private sector and civil society clearly showed their legitimacy through their competence."
The question of whether the air of hopefulness can survive the next round of WSIS will probably center on how patiently governments that currently have little or no role in Internet policy allow a gradual transition from the current US-based policymaking structure. Additionally, the Internet community will have to find a way to align the intramural interests of registries, backbone providers, and ISPs, many of which have been sharply critical of ICANN's unilateral administration of the DNS. Demand is expanding worldwide for Internet access. At this point, policymakers and even savvy end users who don't follow the debates over issues such as which companies receive lucrative control over top-level domains just see an Internet that works well. By and large, as long as the power lines and telecom lines are working, people who are used to getting online can do so most of the time.
The Internet's overall robustness has, however, led many of these same nontechnical parties to demand quick changes or implementation of technologies such as internationalized domain names (IDN), without taking into account the devilish complexity involved; both Cerf and Kummer say issues such as IDN are examples of how communications failures between technical people and policymakers still hamper convivial relationships.
One vehicle the WGIG report suggested to address the need of cross-organizational communication is an international forum, preferably linked to the UN, and envisioned to consist of stakeholders from all sectors including developed and developing nations. Such a forum would place policy discussions under an internationally recognized format and reduce the dependence on ICANN's Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC), which Cerf admits can be a burden for developing nations to attend.
"We have regularly tried to persuade all the governments to participate in the ICANN GAC in those areas where ICANN has responsibility," he says. "Those efforts have had mixed success. We now have on the order of 100 countries participating, but that's only about half of all there are, so that means we still have some bridges to build. It's always a problem of money — travel costs, things like that. It may be that some regionalization of the activity would help."
US Position: Wild Card or Monkey Wrench?
Just three weeks prior to the WGIG report's release, Assistant Secretary of Commerce Michael Gallagher announced US principles on the Internet's Domain Name and Addressing System ( www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/domainname/USDNSprinciples_06302005.htm). The terse statement has been a topic of much speculation in the intervening period — read as either a nationalist-centered line in the sand dismissing international concerns or a statement reaffirming cautious oversight while the discussion wends its way through the WSIS process.
Among the principles mentioned were two that signaled the US might be in no mood to abdicate its current role as the ultimate overseer of the DNS and root:
"Given the Internet's importance to the world's economy, it is essential that the underlying DNS of the Internet remain stable and secure. As such, the United States is committed to taking no action that would have the potential to adversely impact the effective and efficient operation of the DNS and will therefore maintain its historic role in authorizing changes or modifications to the authoritative root zone file."
"The United States continues to support the ongoing work of ICANN as the technical manager of the DNS and related technical operations and recognizes the progress it has made to date. The United States will continue to provide oversight so that ICANN maintains its focus and meets its core technical mission."
The statements run directly contrary to the WGIG report's statement that "no single government should have a preeminent role in relation to international Internet governance," but the clash's likely end result has been one of the central topics among Internet policy mavens since the two documents were issued.
Cerf says he thinks the US statement causing the most concern was its intention to maintain its role in authorizing root zone file changes. He suggests that the statement could be interpreted in two ways — that the US government has no intention of releasing control of DNS when the current memorandum of understanding with ICANN expires in September 2006, or, conversely, that with no idea of what either the WGIG report or the WSIS conference might yield, the US felt it prudent to issue an ambiguous statement pledging to protect the stability of the DNS and root zone file.
That said, Cerf believes the latter is "a charitable interpretation, because many people around the world are exercised about the US government's international posture."
Kummer says that, despite what might be bandied about in public, the central political players do recognize that change will be slow in coming.
"I did my best from the very beginning in expectation management," Kummer says. "I said, 'Look, time is short and don't expect we'll end up in Tunis with a complete overhaul of the architecture of existing arrangements.' That would be naïve."

Given that the raison d'etre of the Impaq 40 is CD playback, it's fortunate that in that task it excels. The set-up has a neutral balance pushing out any CD track you feed it in a well-controlled and untainted way. Bass and treble adjustment is available, though, should you want to skew from the norm.
And no matter what CD I slotted into the Impaq 40's tray it was delivered with aplomb. The system offers excellent stereo separation and an expansive soundstage that can be pushed easily to what any home user will consider loud. Loud enough, in fact, to elicit complaints from the neighbours, but such is the hazard of testing a system which simply sounds better the higher you turn up the volume - no distortion, just forceful, deliciously unadulterated audio.
Having spent so long listening to iPod speaker docks the Impaq 40 system is a refreshing reminder of why I still buy CDs. Detail resolution, such as this set-up has on offer, simply doesn't come from compact systems. On side note, it's also a galling reminder of the compromises that have to be made to make audio equipment portable that this £312 CD player sounds so much better than the 64GB iPod touch I'm currently using, which costs close to that by itself, before adding the cost of my Shure SE420 earphones.
Don't go thinking this system isn't going to compete with more expensive equipment. Even hooking the Impaq 40's own CD-receiver up to a set of Ferguson Hill speakers we have knocking about the office elicited even better audio performance. But you'd hope so from speakers costing significantly more than the entire Impaq 40 set-up. For those constrained by realistic budgets the difference in quality probably won't be worth the difference in pric, which makes the Impaq 40 a great solution, no matter how you slice it.
The excellent performance that Teufel's Impaq 40 mini stereo system offers relative to its price is impossible to ignore. Pedantic audiophiles will no doubt claim that £300 is hardly enough money to spend on a CD system to get proper, high quality reproduction but they're missing the point entirely.

Hadassah Heart Luncheon June 28
Rockaway Park Hadassah will celebrate their annual Heart Luncheon at the Lawrence Country Club on June 28. This year the even has been renamed the Faye Cohen Heart Luncheon, in memory of Rockaway Park Hadassah's chairperson, who passed away this May.
Faye Cohen presided over the event for 44 years, transforming it from a small gathering of Hadassah women to the gala luncheon celebrated each year. Over the years, she helped raise tens of thousands of dollars for heart research and equipment for Hadassah Hospital in Israel. This year the luncheon will pay tribute to her and her outstanding work.
As is customary, the Heart Luncheon always honors a member of the community who has made Rockaway a better place to live. This year the honor will go to Nadia Murphy, Beautification Chairperson of the Shore and Belle Harbor Garden Clubs. Murphy is a past president of the Shore Garden Club and a vice president of the Belle Harbor Garden Club.
Murphy helped design the gardens for Tribute Park on Beach Channel Drive and was also involved in the daffodil plantings throughout the community in memory of the victims of 9/11. Her devotion to the community has earned her the gratitude and respect of Rockaway Park Hadassah.

Looking back over the history of the company, plant operations manager Dan Hogge says the shop has made a dramatic change roughly once every seven years. The move from screw machines to CNC was one of the earlier shifts. Embracing lights-out machining is the latest.
The move to unattended production for Hogge Precision Parts (Hartsville, S.C.) began with the recession of 2007-2008, when the CNC bar-fed production shop's largest customer was hit hard. The shop's staff of 70 was cut to 29, and those remaining often worked only 24 hours per week.
When business returned in 2009, the shop had just purchased its first CNC Swiss-type machine, and while this machine was booked through the day, it went unused at night. So management figured out how to utilize the machine unattended, and the first attempt went well. However, the shop had a lot to learn. Previously invisible problems (glitches) became visible quickly, and needed to be fixed, and process changes needed to be made.
To learn how Hogge Precision Parts transitioned from a fully tended machine shop to a lean shop with lights-out machining, read "From Aggravation to Lights-Out Production."
