New Board for WherScape to Oversee Growth
Data technology company WhereScape has boosted its board with a number of new appointments, creating a sound governance platform for the international business which is currently on an explosive growth curve.
Chair of the NZ-headquartered company is John Quirk, a director and partner at Howard & Company, where his work focuses on strategic investment and advisory. He also acts as a senior management advisor and mentor to a number of companies at various stages of development, often via board representation and is an investor in high tech, high growth companies.
CEO and co-founder Michael Whitehead is a data warehousing industry veteran who has spent more than a decade designing and building commercial data warehouses in a wide variety of industries. Prior to founding WhereScape, Michael had Asia Pacific responsibilities for data warehousing for Sequent Computer Systems, Inc.
Matthew Houtman co -founded Pioneer Capital, which recently took a stake in WhereScape. He has been an investor in, advisor to and director of private businesses in Europe, the United States and New Zealand. He also has extensive experience in planning and executing financings, acquisitions and growth strategies in many markets, primarily the telecoms, media, technology and healthcare industries.
Rounding out the WhereScape board are two new appointments; US-based Mark Budzinski and Christchurch's Sarah smith.
President of WhereScape USA, Mark Budzinski previously held management positions at Intel, Sequent Computer Systems, RadiSys, and Applied Microsystems. He holds an MBA from the Univ. of Oregon, a Master's Degree in Computer Science from the Univ. of Southern California, a BS in Industrial Engineering from Lehigh Univ.
Sarah Smith is a chartered accountant, has extensive business and governance experience in both the private and public sectors. She has held key financial and business development roles in a variety of businesses both in New York and New Zealand.
As an independent director Sarah has 18 years' experience and currently holds positions as Chairman of Meteorological Services of New Zealand (MetService), Director Christchurch City Holdings Ltd, Director EcoCentral Ltd, Director SLI Systems Ltd and Director of The Lion Foundation. Sarah is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants and is an Accredited Fellow of the Institute of Directors.
WhereScape has also just added to its senior management team appointing Mark Otten as its CFO.

Prior to WhereScape Mark was the Chief Financial Officer for EziBuy Ltd. and is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
CEO Michael Whitehead said the new governance was critical for WhereScape as it moves into a new phase. "We are bringing in some sound wins, like our most recent one, Tesco in the UK, and it's important for us to keep fine -tuning our processes.
"We're running a robust and
profitable business that is showing consistent year on year
growth of between 15-20%. Replacing our former advisory
board with a governance-oriented board is a logical step for

Hi guys, i am having a bit of trouble trying to update an e-learning course to work in IE9. When run, the following error is displayed in developer tools:
"SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'load'"
This is in relation to the last line of code in my example below.
// Start loading the config XML file
this.Config.objXMLFile = jsXML.CreateDOMDocument();
this.Config.objXMLFile.onreadystatechange = doLoad_XMLConfigFile;
var filePath = "config/config.xml?rand=" + RandomGen(32);
I know that IE9 has a different JavaScript engine to IE8, but does anyone know if there would be a workaround to this issue?
Cheers in advance for any reply
Can you link to a live example?
What happens when you console.log this.Config.objXMLFile right after you create it?
Can you post the code for the jsXML.CreateDOMDocument function?

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), also known as ErbB2, NEU, and CD340, is a type I membrane glycoprotein, and belongs to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor family. HER2 protein cannot bind growth factors due to the lacking of ligand binding domain of its own and autoinhibited constitutively. However, HER2 forms a heterodimer with other ligand-bound EGF receptor family members, therefore stabilizes ligand binding and enhances kinase-mediated activation of downstream molecules. HER2 plays a key role in development, cell proliferation and differentiation. HER2 gene has been reported to associate with malignancy and a poor prognosis in numerous carcinomas, including breast, prostate, ovarian, lung cancers and so on.

"Each Night I Dream of Home" Review
First Published: 09/02/99
Sadly, Crusade has come to an end far too soon. "Each Night I Dream of Home" is the last episode. It is obviously not a satisfying conclusion to the planned five-year story. It isn't even a satisfying conclusion to the 13-episodes shown because it was intended to run earlier in the sequence. Paralleling Babylonian Productions' battle with TNT, the characters of Crusade learn that the Drakh virus is even more dangerous than they imagined, thus ending the show on a downbeat.
One of the few senators not on Earth at the time of the Drakh attack sends the Excalibur home on a secret mission. Like many of the Excalibur's missions, there are some moral questions surrounding this exercise. A young man named David Williams has volunteered to be infected with the Drakh virus under controlled circumstances so that the doctors can study it. This clashes with Gideon's feelings about the sanctity of life, but Williams' motives are simple: he wishes to get married and spend whatever time he has left with his wife. When confronted with this issue of life versus quality of life, Gideon is reflective, realizing that he may never be as happy in his life as Williams will be when he is reunited with his love.
Babylon 5 fans will be pleased to see the return of Dr. Stephen Franklin in this episode. His relocation from Earth to an isolation bay on the Excalibur necessitates the secrecy of the mission. Through Dr. Franklin, we learn more about the effects of the Drakh virus on the population of Earth. Thousands have died already as the virus has mutated through different forms.
Dr. Franklin's report seems to foreshadow a possible outcome of the episode: that Williams may die of the virus much more quickly than five years, making his sacrifice in vain. This is the sort of irony that is right up Joe Straczynski's alley. However, when the threat finally comes, it isn't from the virus but rather from an attack of Drakh ships alerted - again ironically - by Williams' unauthorized transmission to his fiancée on Earth. The damage to the medical center is such that only Dr. Franklin can act to save Williams.
Doctors Franklin and Chambers begin to suspect that the Drakh virus is actually intelligent and may communicate to form a hive mind. This ends the episode - and the series - on a somber note.
Overall, "Each Night I Dream of Home" is a strong episode with a dramatic personal story and lots of action. Following the form set by many previous episodes, only a portion of the cast appears. While it is good to see Lochley one last time, Max, Dureena, and Galen do not appear in this episode.What Now?
Crusade is over. It is a good show... one that doesn't deserve to be cancelled. While it has a few shaky moments, overall its quality is better than that of Babylon 5's first season.
The Crusade for Crusade site is urging everyone to write more letters now that the the series is over. Let the Sci-Fi Channel know what you think of the show. If anything positive happens, I'll be sure to let you know.

The beautifull of the hotel and the region. The room was to small
The historical building. poor value for money in the restaurant. Miserable wine card.
The Castelo itself is the reason for staying here; the bed in our room was very comfortable, the bathroom was luxurious ... and the breakfast was fantastic. The TV in our room was small and old technology, and the selection of channels was poor
Beautiful building in a very quiet and friendly small town.
I like everything!!!!! It was really fantastic - so had so nice big room ( but be honest other rooms were smaller) - very clean and nice decorated. Real castle 13 sentury! Breackfast was very good, Beds are comfortable. Smell from birds in the garden
pleasant village
Yeah, romantic rooms in an old castle. With a car very well located for one or two day trips. Good restaurant; quit environment. Easy parking for free. Big garden with summer swimming pool. Non

Hanoi (AFP) Nov 17, 2010
Fresh flooding in Vietnam has left 12 people dead and two missing, taking the number killed by flood waters since October to 179, officials said Wednesday.
In the third wave of flooding in around six weeks, 37,000 houses were waterlogged or damaged and nearly 10,000 people were evacuated in central Vietnam, according to the national flood and storm control department.
Thua Thien Hue, site of the country's ancient imperial city, reported four deaths and is among five provinces to have been hit by the most recent rising waters.
Two bouts of flooding in October killed 167 people across central provinces, one of the poorest areas of Vietnam.
The country regularly suffers from tropical storms and flooding at this time of year.

It is nice to know that I have a gene that predisposes me to sex addition, bi-polar disorder, and being very popular in my childhood.
The 'liberal gene': An instant guide
Scientists say they have found a gene that pushes some people to the left of the political spectrum. Here's how it works
Your political views might not be entirely something you pick up at school or in talks around the dinner table — a new study suggests you might have been born with them. Scientists from the University of California-San Diego and Harvard, in a paper published in The Journal of Politics, say they have discovered that some people have a genetic predisposition to liberal thinking. What is this "liberal gene" they found, and does it really decide where a person will end up on the political spectrum? (Watch a discussion about the study)
What did the study find, exactly?
That people born with a variant of the DRDR gene might be more likely to grow up be liberals. UC-San Diego geneticist and political scientist James Fowler and his research team analyzed 2,574 participants in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, looking at their genes, number of friends, and political views as adults. They found that people who had both the 7R variant of the gene and a large number of friends in high school were significantly more likely to embrace liberal views.
How does the gene affect how we think?
It helps determine how the brain processes dopamine, a neurotransmitter that affects everything from movement to emotions to how we perceive pleasure and pain. The 7R variant the scientists studied had previously been linked to seeking out new experiences. "In other words," says Catherine Mayer in Time, "people with the DRD4-7R gene are more likely to be game for a laugh, for a dare, for anything new and stimulating" enough to alter dopamine levels and affect their mood.
What does that have to do with politics?
The researchers hypothesize that people more open to new ideas and more unconventional points of views already tend toward liberalism, and if they are exposed to enough different ways of living and viewing the world, their political beliefs will tend to solidify to the left of center. The authors say their study backs that up. Regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or cultural background, if a subject had the DRD4-7R gene and an active social life as a teenager, he or she was likely to be liberal.
How many friends does it take to nudge you to the left?
Ten. Someone with that many people in his or her close social network — and with two copies of DRD4-7R gene — can move "almost halfway from being conservative to moderate, or from being moderate to liberal." For people without the gene, there was no link between the number of friends and ideology.
Is there a "conservative gene," too?
Presumably. An earlier study of twins suggests that genetics account for about 30 to 40 percent of a person's ideology, and environment another 50 percent. And, the study notes, "psychologists have asserted for many years that social conservatism is heritable." Fowler says it is likely that political ideology has been passed down genetically for tens of millions of years, as being conservative was beneficial in some periods and being liberal helped in others. "If it made sense for us all to be liberal," he says, "natural selection would have made us all liberal."
Conversely, a 'conservative gene' would be associated with having few friends in adolescence, depression, suicide, and a closed-mindedness to new information and experience. I guess this sounds right.
Of course, the problem with this is what makes one a conservative or liberal in one society might not be universal on the ideological scale (maybe conservatives in Russia like gun control, for example), and what about other ideologies, like Communism, fascism, and Islamic fundamentalism? Are all of those put in the left/right poles, as well? It is easy to say that people who are more open are liberal and those who are close-minded are conservative, but what if you were Joseph Stalin in the 1930s (committing your crimes under the guise of progress)?
Still, if true, I suppose we should get ready for the final solution by conservatives for liberals. Naturally, eugenics will not be far off, or as it would likely be called 'abnormal gene modification,' as those deemed less worthy of life (minus the pre-born and incorporated entities or those with endless amounts of economic resources) would be declared deficient sinners (like gays, the transgendered, and Democrats). They still believe in the concept, if they were honest with themselves about the issue.
The oddity is the libertarian ethos that is used by conservatives to rationalize their willful hatred of the society in which they live, to the point they would rather see everyone else do without rather than pay the bills.
I have had a theory since grad school that one of the reasons why conservatives tend to be religious is because it gives them their collective justification for being a part of the larger society, a society that their ideology rejects and wants to see subordinated to contract or perpetual war (with the barely hidden hope of bringing about the end of times they delude themselves into thinking is around the corner). The oddity is their own religion preaches a brand of socialism in its scriptures that would be denounced as Marxist if uttered by an opposing candidate.

The oddity is their own religion preaches a brand of socialism in its scriptures that would be denounced as Marxist if uttered by an opposing candidate.
I guess this is the Jesus you will not be hearing about on the campaign trail in the Republican Party. For them, Christ hated poor people and thought the unemployed were lazy slackers (like Jesus and his followers were, for the most part). That is one of the things about Christianity that has always baffled me, even as a child (back when I believed in all of this nonsense). How can one be a conservative Christian and get around believing in the divinity of a person who made statements like how the meek shall inherit the earth and that it would be easier to ween the needle through the eye of a camel than for a rich man to enter heaven? I ask that as an open question. Any reader is more than welcome to comment and give their explanation.

Mississippi's only remaining abortion clinic, the Jackson Women's Health Organization, is struggling to stay open as it is faced with unnecessary, complicated restrictions imposed by the state's Republican lawmakers. But its owners are staying positive — and they hope to send that positive message to the rest of the Jackson community, now that the clinic building has gotten a new, bright pink facelift:
The Jackson Women's Health Organization over the weekend painted its one-story structure on the corner of State Street and Fondren Place in a vibrant, cheery hue. It's in contrast to the dark shadow of legal woes that has plagued its operations since last year, when the state passed a law threatening its closure.
"It's a woman's color," said clinic Owner Diane Derzis. "It says, 'We're right here, and we're not going anywhere.'"
Since the paint job, the clinic has fielded numerous calls and heard dozens of comments from people saying they like it, according to clinic Director Shannon Brewer, who said the public reaction has surprised even clinic staff.

The Impact of Clients and Service Types in Service Offshore OutsourcingBrandl, Kristin; Jaura, Manya; Ørberg Jensen, Peter D. (Frederiksberg, 2015)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: In this paper we study whether and how the interaction between clients and the service providers contributes to the development of capabilities in service provider firms. In situations where such a contribution occurs, we analyze how different types of activities in the production process of the services, such as sequential or reciprocal task activities, influence the development of different types of capabilities. We study five cases of offshore-outsourced knowledge-intensive business services that are distinguished according to their reciprocal or sequential task activities in their production process. We find that clients influence the development of human capital capabilities and management capabilities in reciprocally produced services. While in sequential produced services clients influence the development of organizational capital capabilities and management capital capabilities. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9181

Towards a Reverse Mirroring HypothesisSanchez, Ron; Glavin, Peter; Bach, Norbert (Frederiksberg, 2013)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This paper elaborates important systemic interrelationships between firms' strategic choices of product architectures and organization architectures, and between firms' architectural choices and the industry structures and competitive/cooperative dynamics that emerge in an industry. We formalize a "Reverse Mirroring Hypothesis" suggesting that organizational architectures desired by firms influence their choices of product architectures. We embed firms' strategic architectural decisions in a co‐evolutionary model linking product market evolution, firms' architectural choices, and industry evolution. We invoke both transaction costs and capabilities perspectives to suggest how firms' assessments of their relative potential for capturing gains from specialization versus gains from trade influence their strategic architectural choices. We develop concepts of architectural commonality, architectural specificity, industry standard architectures, and firmspecific architectures to analyze strategic implications of firms' architectural choices.

Resume: We discuss the microfoundations of routines and capabilities, including why a microfoundations view is needed and how it may inform work on organizational and competitive heterogeneity. Building on extant research, we identify three primary categories of micro-level components underlying routines and capabilities: individuals, social processes, and structure and design. We discuss how these components, and their interactions, may affect routines and capabilities. In doing so, we outline a research agenda for advancing the field's understanding of the microfoundations of routines and capabilities. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8401

A Research AgendaFoss, Nicolai J.; Argyres, Nicholas; Felin, Teppo; Zenger, Todd (Frederiksberg, 2012)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: For decades, the literatures on firm capabilities and organizational economics have been at odds with each other, specifically relative to explaining organizational boundaries and heterogeneity. We briefly trace the history of the relationship between the capabilities literature and organizational economics and point to the dominance of a "capabilities first" logic in this relationship. We argue that capabilities considerations are inherently intertwined with questions about organizational boundaries and internal organization, and use this point to respond to the prevalent "capabilities first" logic. We offer an integrative research agenda that focuses, first, on the governance of capabilities and, second, on the capability of governance. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8426

First, sildenafil use was self-reported in 2000 and not updated during the follow-up. However, the health care–related professional background was reassuring. The misclassification of exposure would tend to affect those unexposed in 2000, leading to a conservative HR estimate. Sildenafil is usually effective within 30 to 120 minutes after administration and may be cleared rapidly, such that the PDE5A inhibition could be transient and reversible.8,12 However, a 2-hour time window is sufficient for some drugs to produce critical transcriptional changes.9 One study in the HPFS has indicated a sharply increased risk of ED with aging.18 With the massive increase in sildenafil use after its introduction, among the recent users in 2000, the expected proportion of users after 2000 could be much higher than that of recent nonusers, which might lead to a chronic downstream effect of PDE5A inhibition. Nevertheless, laboratory studies are warranted to elucidate whether either temporary or long-term use of sildenafil can induce irreversible change in host features and elevated melanoma risk. For example, it remains to be examined whether a single, or repeated, dose of sildenafil can cause sufficient inhibition of PDE5A in melanocytes to promote transcriptional changes of key genes. what do levitra pills look like t's absolutely no surprise that many men taking potency enhancement pills want to know how they interact with alcohol.

During the life of a sponsored award, it may become necessary to modify certain aspects of the award. Changes may involve rebudgeting of funds among expense classes or adjusting the length of a project period (e.g., requesting an extension.) The award terms and conditions and related sponsor policy will dictate the amount of flexibility awardees have in making changes and the process for securing prior approval from the sponsor when required.
Many federal agencies have transferred the authority to approve certain changes on grant awards to awardee institutions. Awards issued with the Research Terms and Conditions provide "expanded authorities" to institutions. These authorities are summarized in the Research Terms and Conditions Prior Approval and Other Requirements Matrix.
Changes Requiring Prior Approval from the Sponsor
The Principal Investigator of a federally sponsored project is typically required to report deviations from budget and program plans, and request prior approvals from the authorized representative of federal awarding agencies for the following reasons:
Every award can have its own unique set of terms and conditions so it is important to always refer to the award document when determining what changes require prior approval. While the list above is common to federal grants and cooperative agreements they may also apply to other types of funding however other types of sponsors are frequently more restrictive in the level of flexibility they provide to the recipient. Contracts are typically the most restrictive.
The terms and conditions of the award may require the recipient to request the sponsor's prior approval before shifting funds from one budget category to another. Other awards may require the sponsor's prior authorization of certain types of expenditures. Many federal and industrial projects provide the Principal Investigator with broad latitude to re-budget funds as necessary to meet program objectives. Refer to the terms of the award for rebudgeting restrictions and prior approval requirements.
No-Cost Extensions (NCEs)
Most sponsoring agencies will allow an extension of the grant expiration date if more time is required to assure adequate completion of the original project scope. Although the requirements to apply for a no-cost extension (NCE) vary by sponsor, under expanded authority many federal agencies allow PSU to approve a one-time 12-month NCE to grants and some cooperative agreements. In these instances, PSU must notify the federal sponsor of our intent to exercise our authority to extend the period of performance.
When sponsor approval is required, PSU must have written confirmation of sponsor approval. This typically takes the form of an amendment to the award letter or agreement.

EDITORIAL >>The quality of mercy
And Lu Hardin, the almost universally loved president of the University of Central Arkansas, who also faced his board on the same day as the others this week after a string of forced admissions humiliated the board and the institution he served. The first three seem to have got off rather lightly, although the farmhand may still be put to death if Gov. Beebe rejects the Parole Boards recommendation of clemency and Salim Hamdan may not consider more than five years in solitary in the Guantánamo brig to be light punishment for chauffeuring a madman.
All of them said they were deeply sorry for what they did, and none was more contrite than President Hardin, who repeated his anguish after every revelation. The tribunals that heard the pleas of the other transgressors considered there to be extenuating circumstances or else that redemption was real and not faked.
Hardin will get off lightly as well, it is clear enough. He is a generous and forgiving man himself and, after all, nothing he did all the efforts to arrange huge bonuses for himself in violation of the law contributed to anyones death or even physical pain. The universitys board of trustees met to consider whether to extend Hardins contract when it expires next month in light of all that has come to light since the May board meeting when the board secretly gave him an illegal $300,000 bonus.
The chairman arranged for a string of admirers, including some of the citys leading citizens, to come and testify about Hardins fine qualities. We have shared some of that admiration.
Barbara Anderson, one of the schools vice presidents and one of those whose names Hardin attached to a memo recommending illegal steps to secretly raise his pay every year, uttered the consummate appeal: We have all sinned.
He stumbled in front of the state, Anderson said. Most of us get to stumble in private.
That is true, but we should not forget that Hardin tried valiantly to keep it all very, very private. And when the board and the schools faculty and students extend official forgiveness next month, as they almost certainly will, they also should not forget or try to diminish exactly what he did. After giving the board false information about administrative compensation and the law, he lied wait, make that misled everyone about having received the raise. The action violated at least three laws and arguably another. When one unhappy board member released a sheaf of documents, Hardin had to admit that a confidential memo to the board allegedly authored by three subordinate administrators, including Anderson, actually was his own work. He attributed the recommendations, including unlawful steps to raise his pay, to them without their knowledge.
Hardin regretted that deception, too. Hardin will get to keep the job that he has often performed so well with no penalty except his personal sorrow. The example of charity in his case will be remembered, but it will be hard to follow. Some kid will falsify his history theme and discover swifter justice.

Why a Handful of Progressive Lawmakers Opposed the Deal by John Nichols
Most progressives in the U.S. Senate and House voted in favor of the "Fiscal Cliff" deal worked out between Vice President Joe Biden and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky. They did this despite the fact that the agreement compromised on what was supposed to be a hard-and-fast principle: that tax rates on Americans making $250,000 or more must go up to at least the rates that were in place when Bill Clinton was president. Instead, the deal only ends Bush-era tax cuts on those with incomes above $400,000. That rate, thoughtful progressives argue, "does not generate the revenue necessary for the country to meet its needs for everything from education for our children, to job training, to other critical supports for the middle class."
True, there will be some restoration of tax fairness -- not to mention an extension of unemployment benefits and a delay in across-the-board cuts proposed as part of the so-called "sequester" scheme. That was enough for most congressional progressives, from Senators Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, and Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, to Congressional Progressive Caucus co-chairs Keith Ellison, D-Minnesota, and Raul Grijalva, D-Arizona, in the House. They voiced their concerns but ultimately voted "yes." Many, like Senator Jeff Merkley, D-Oregon, did so with considearble concern. Although it does not do as much as I want, this bill does ensure that the wealthy will be contributing more as we work to bring our deficits under control. I far prefer that choice to further cuts to education, law enforcement, and investments in the infrastructure our economy depends on," Merkley said of the measure. But lets be clear: this deal carries great risks as well. This deal sets up more cliffs in the near future, including the expiring debt ceiling and the sequestration, pre-planned cuts to programs essential to working families. And as before, there will be some who use these cliffs to launch renewed attacks on Medicare and Social Security. We cannot let those attacks succeed."
For a handful of progressives, however, the risks were too great to secure their support.
A few House stalwarts refused to go along with the 257-167 vote on New Year's Day. Among the objectors were Congressman Jim McDermott, D-Washington, and Congressman Peter DeFazio, an Oregon Democrat who has a history of breaking with his party's leadership when he deels it has compromised on tax fairness, economic justice and infrastructure investment. Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, a Connecticut Democrat who chaired the party's platform drafting committee in 2004, said she voted "no" because the bill did not do enough to benefit working families. I was hopeful that we would be voting on legislation that prioritized working families and the middle class over the wealthiest Americans in taking a balanced approach to the challenges we face as a nation," she explained. "However, the bill before the House of Representatives tonight is not that."

1. Add to this...
If I am not mistaken (and I am... frequently) this sort of enshrines the portions of the Bush tax cuts for anyone making up to 400 K as permanent and also makes permanent the estate tax reductions.
This wasn't much of a compromise as the Republicans have made permanent their tax gains and we only have temporary fixes on programs that progressives support.
The unsustainable tax cuts are sill there and they are a huge part of the reason we had a deficit in the first place so practically it was not much of a solution.
The Republicans have set us up to have another huge debate about raising the debt limit in a couple of months where they will again use that to try to force us to cut social services... again.
The Republicans will continue to use this as an excuse to try to raise the retirement age with their usual shock doctrine bull.
Yes, the cliff sucked but in many ways it was better than the deal that was reached.

2. It depends on what you mean by "permanent."
Nothing in this legislation makes the bush rates any more "permanent" than were the Clinton rates.
What the legislation does do is make the bush rates the baseline for any future change to the tax rates. The legislation changes the bush rates from being temporary rates with a sunset clause that requires the rates to be extended and reauthorized every couple of years and makes them operative as a baseline.
Congress can at any time decide to raise or lower rates on those making over $250,000, or over $100,000, for that matter. Nothing in this legislation makes the bush rates permanent or unalterable in the future.
"Permanent" as used in this case is a spin word that makes Rs look good. The truth is, there's nothing permanent here, beyond the fact that it will now take action by Congress to raise the bush rates in the future, whereas going over the cliff would have taken us back to the Clinton rates without Congress needing to do anything.
This isn't just a semantic argument. In fact, it would be more accurate to call these the "tax rates for the foreseeable future," as opposed to being "permanent" rates.

10. The so-called "cave-in" is because of the rethug House
which is there because Democrats refused to vote in 2010 and the teabaggers got in.
It boggles the mind why people on DU are willing to tell the unemployed to go fuck themselves and let their benefits get cut.
No teabagger House would vote for what the Democrats really wanted, so DUers wanted nothing instead. The turnout in offyear elections needs to be like 2008 & 2012 in order to take back both the states and the Congress - and without the Max Baucus & Joe LIEberman wing, who scuttled many of the progressive initiatives by threatening to filibuster their own party.

15. My thoughts too. However
Turnout of Dems in 2010 was dismal. Progressives can't affect change if they sit out midterms.
So we've just identified two areas that MUST be addressed. Gerrymandering and midterm turnout. I hope the Dems have plans to do something substantial about both.

17. If I might be selfish, I'm extremely happy the unemployment benefits were extended,
because I just qualified for the 2nd round of Fed extended benefits and was in danger of losing them.
If we had gone over the cliff and tax rates had gone up on middle class people, it might have cost the average family an extra $2000 a year in taxes. Those are taxes that they'd subtract from their yearly gross wages.
If we had gone over the cliff and unemployment benefits had not been extended, I would have been losing $1800 A MONTH, with no paycheck to fall back on, and no other income from which to subtract that additional $2000 in yearly taxes.
So, yeah, I am ecstatic that this deal got done.

8. "Permanent"
Agree that NOTHING in Congress is "permanent" except maybe a Constitutional amendment and even that can be revoked by another amendment that repeals the previous one (although doing so is much harder than Congress simply changing the law to something else). The "permanency" for the Bush tax cuts was merely taking something that sunsetted after 10 years and taking away the sunset. A different example is the AMT, which was something that has had to be patched every year at some point after its original passage in something like 1969, due to the lack of an inflation adjustment provision, and the fix was finally changed (and "made permanent" so that the yearly patches are now unnecessary.
But next week, Congress could theoretically pass a new law that changes the tax rate yet again to the lower threshold. However, the chances of that happening with teabaggers still infesting the House is low but anytime in the future changes can and will be made. Loopholes that the wealthy routinely used, definitely should be on the table.
The DU meme about something (notably tax things) being "permanent" (in a negative sense) is one of the biggest BS RW-style talking points around here.

11. True to some degree
However, to go after the 250K-400K people for a tax increase now would require an actual tax law to be enacted. Which of course is a trap and would allow Republican messaging stating "biggest tax increase in the history of the universe" or some such pablum again.
It might have been better in some ways to allow expiration and then put forth seperate legislation for tax cuts for the working poor and middle class. Strategically speaking it is more useful and in terms of messaging it is a much bigger possible win. This deal deprived us of that.

12. I think most people know what is meant by "permanent"
It's the same thing that it's meant every time people have talked about making the Bush tax cuts permanent for the past 10 years. This might come as a shock, but no one actually thinks it means that somehow the tax cuts have been enshrined in the very essence of this country and that from now on, though it will be possible to change the constitution, it will be impossible to change tax rates.

very reason, it should have been the dealBREAKER, but it wasn't. And the GOP is screaming they got nothing?

This country is going down the drain because of WAR, GREED, and HATE. Once the current VIET NAM war is over there will be less of a drain of money. The RICH should pay their fair share and the idea that the rich pay more taxes should be killed since the rich can AFFORD to pay more taxes.
The Congress of NO is still alive to terrorize this country and half the people in this country do not even know this fact. Not until progress is made to bring this country together will any progress be made to have a good place to live.

Griffin Dunne On For Dallas Buyers Club
Denis O'Hare also aboard
Though the cameras have already begun cranking in New Orleans, director Jean-Marc Vallee has added a few names to the cast of his new drama, The Dallas Buyers Club. The new recruits are Griffin Dunne, Denis O'Hare and Bradford Cox.
Dallas Buyers Club, written by Craig Borten and Melisa Wallack, is based on the true story of Ron Woodroof, a Texas electrician who is diagnosed with AIDS in 1986.
After discovering the prohibitive cost of regular medications, he set out to track down alternatives and took things a step further when he began smuggling the cheaper medication into the US.
His actions brought him into conflict with the American Food and Drug Administration, which was on a mission to keep the treatments out of the States.
Matthew McConaughey has lost a ton of weight to play Woodroof, with Jennifer Garner as Dr Eve Sacks, who joins Woodruff's campaign, and Jared Leto as a cross-dresser dying of AIDS. Cox, usually found fronting alt-rockers Deerhunter, is on to play Leto's lover.
O'Hare and Dunne are both signed to play doctors who help Woodroof in his mission. The film, which has been in development for years, is now slated to arrive in cinemas next year, though no firm release date is set yet.

Molecular Motors, Intracellular Cargo Transport, and Heart Disease
The Warshaw Molecular Motors Group focuses on the structure and function of molecular motors and cytoskeletal proteins associated with biological movement ranging from muscle contraction to intracellular vesicular transport. Researchers still do not understand how molecular motors, such as myosin, convert the energy from ATP hydrolysis into mechanical work as the molecular motor moves along its actin track. Our approach is comparative; we study myosins that differ substantially in both their structure and functional capacities in order to match their cellular roles in biological motion.Additional insight can be obtained from genetically mutated motors and cytoskeletal proteins that lead to inherited forms of human heart failure.We use the power of molecular biophysics and single molecule techniques to characterize the molecular performance of the actomyosin motor.
Parts of the above figure were modified from the Myosin Home Page.

It rained the remainder of my second day in San Francisco, but I tried to enjoy life's sense of humor and return my focus to its rightful place-on this special time with friends. After all, the purpose of this trip wasn't to see Ke11y Slater or even to surf, it was to reunite and celebrate with the remarkable people I met in college.
The itinerary-
Wednesday and Thursday night at Nicole's
Friday and Saturday night at Basia and Filip's
Saturday in Napa for Casey's birthday
Looong drive home to San Diego on Sunday
I had to let go of my dream of seeing Kelly Slater win a world title. It was painful because I had been so close and I wasn't sure I would have the same opportunity again. But was it necessary? Of course. If I didn't let it go I would have missed the beauty of the present moment. The expressions on my friend's faces, the sounds of their voices when they were excited, thoughtful, silly, and the wonderful feeling I had when I was with them. This trip made me remember that life is incredible because of the people you spend it with and that every moment is an opportunity for adventure and discovery.

Game Day Central: WVU at TCU
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - West Virginia University football coach Dana Holgorsen addressed members of the media Tuesday. The Mountaineers play at TCU Saturday at 3:30 PM on ESPNU.
Opening Statement
Looking at the TCU Horned Frogs, in preparation for this week's game, the first thing I think about with TCU, with this being my fifth opportunity to go against coach Gary Patterson, is defense with his football teams. They are in a similar situation as West Virginia with this being their second year in the conference. Right now we are both 3-5. It's going to be challenging. Last year I think we both went 7-5. The Big 12 is challenging as we are figuring out. When you think about TCU, it's all about defense, they are really good on defense. They have a lot of returning starters. All five guys from the secondary last year are returning starters. They have as good of a secondary as there is in college football. I was very impressed with them last year and this year I'm even more impressed with them. This year I think they have nine returning starters on defense. They're very well-coached on defense and that staff has been together for a while. They've been doing the same thing at TCU for about the last 13 years. There's tremendous continuity within the coaching staff. They're good against the run, great against the pass. They play the ball in the air very well. They have tremendous depth and play a lot of people, and it will be a challenge for our offense. As everybody is well aware, we haven't been playing winning football on offense. We need to continue to improve. The team is excited to continue to improve and prepare for each week. It's going to be a challenge. We have to be able to move the ball. We have to be able to get it into the end zone. Offensively, TCU is searching a bit for offense. They have great skill. They have three good running backs. They have great wide receivers. They obviously are going to play two different quarterbacks. I think everyone in the conference is dealing with the same kinds of things. With Kansas State, their offensive approach was a little different based on which quarterback was in. That's not necessarily the case here with TCU. Whichever quarterback is in there, they typically do the same things, which will make it easier for us to prepare. With that said, it's about making plays. We need to continue to make plays and put our guys into critical situations to make plays. The one thing about last week was that we played well defensively, but on about seven third-downs we played poorly. In those critical situations we have to make plays and make things happen. On special teams, they're solid. Coach Patterson stresses that. Any time you have a strong defensive team, you're going to be good on special teams. I do think we broke even in the kicking game last week with the exception of one of the PATs getting blocked and we weren't able to execute the fake the way we wanted to. We broke even in the kicking game, which we knew was going to be a challenge. You can tell that TCU works on their special teams. Their kickoff coverage is solid and their returners are even better. They have good return guys, which comes with the skill that they have on offense. You can tell they pay attention to it so it's going to be a big week for us there. It's going to be huge week for us offensively to attack their defense. Defensively we need to continue to get better.
Injury Report
With the injury report, everybody in the country deals with these things this time of year. We had 13 guys that were out against Kansas State.
Ford Childress
is still out. He's a couple weeks away. It's healing so he's started a progression back into throwing. We are going to ease him into it and see how his body does on a day-to-day basis.
Dustin Garrison
will be out. He's still out with a hamstring issue, which have been bothering him for quite some time. With our long-term guys,
Wes Tonkery
is out for the year. He needs to get shoulder surgery. In addition to the guys who are out with
Christian Brown
Nana Kyeremeh
Shaq Petteway
Tyler Tezeno
, those guys are done for the year.
Pat Eger
left in the first quarter, which hurt us. He's a guy we lean on. Tyler Orlosy did do a good job with coming in and playing. I was proud about how he came in and played and got three quarters of work out from him. We need Pat in there though. (Pat) coming out of the game in the first quarter is difficult, but I am proud with how Tyler came in and played. Pat will be day-to-day, I doubt he goes today, likely he will go tomorrow.
Doug Rigg
, with his second concussion of the year, we will have to monitor how he is doing day-to-day.
Daryl Worley
has a shin issue. He was progressing into an every-down corner and was not able to go. He will be day-to-day and we expect to get him back soon.
Dontrill Hyman
will be day-to-day. He did not play Saturday, and he's got an ankle injury that he suffered in the (Texas) Tech game. Hopefully we get him back.
Ricky Rumph
has a foot issue. He's missed a couple weeks, he's day-to-day and we hope to get him back as well.
On players burning redshirts and others qualifying for redshirts
We are going to keep monitoring
Dustin Garrison
, because his injury would qualify him. He hasn't practiced or played I think since the Maryland game, so he would qualify. Being able to put bodies out there for the next four weeks will be important. Again it depends on how he progresses. With
Darrien Howard
, we pulled his redshirt. He's been getting better. He was a late starter in camp. He got here midway through camp. It was a weekly conversation for the coaching staff over the past month of whether or not to play him. Dontrill was out. We needed to move
Kyle Rose
exclusively to end, which he played well at, with
Shaq Rowell
Will Clarke
. But it left us a nose short. We feel it was a good decision to play (Howard). He played about 15 snaps and hopefully he plays more.
On TCU's pass rush leading the Big 12 in sacks
They do a great job of rushing the passer. Their secondary matches routes and covers as well as I've ever seen it. The quarterback has to sit back there with nowhere to throw and the rush gets there. John Koontz played against us last year and gave us fits. The guys on the inside are good with Chucky Hunter and Davion Pierson. Those guys do a tremendous job of holding their gaps in the run game, but also understanding when it's a run, pass or screen and coming up the field. They have capable people doing it and they get to the quarterback well. That pass coverage in the back is something special as well.
On the defense's struggles on third down being related to injuries
I can see that, but what are you going to do about it? You have to put the next guy up in. You want your best guys out there and injuries affect everything. I imagine TCU wants their best pass rushing defensive end in there for them too. We are not going to use injuries as an excuse of why we are not successful. We never have and we never will. We were in position to make plays and we have to make plays. We have to trust what everybody does and we have to execute the proper coverage and call. Regardless of the guys in there, they need to know what to do, they need to do it to their best ability, and it's our job to coach them up to do so.
On the status of linebacker
Marvin Gross
He had a hamstring issue the week leading up to Texas Tech. He pulled it on Wednesday or Thursday. He was hampered against Texas Tech. The Kansas State game was not his type of game. He needs to mature and develop. He's a guy a wish we could've redshirted.
Darrien Howard
is a guy I wish we could've redshirted. We are redshirting 17 guys now which is good for the future, but you wish you could redshirt them all and you just can't.
On calling audibles at the line on offense and defense
Where I see that the most is with teams that hurry up to the line and act like they are going to snap the ball, but they hold back. At that moment you can get into some defensive audibles. We don't do that as much on offense. We get the personnel in there, call the right play, if we don't like it, then it's up to the quarterback to change it to something else. That's where we have some issues because of the inexperience at quarterback. Defensively, we didn't have to do that against Kansas State, they were using 40 seconds to snap the ball. TCU will push the hurry up like Texas Tech and Oklahoma State did.
On Gary Patterson trying to audible on defense to get a better call
You don't really see that with all the tempo you play against. It gets difficult to be able to do that. We both have play sheets and he selects a play based on personnel and other factors. You are not going to win a football game by calling perfect plays. You can do your best, but I will challenge anybody to say they called anything close to a perfect game. You have to call plays to the best of your ability and based on what you think they are going to do on all three sides of the ball. Executing the play is what makes it work. You have to execute the plays that are called. We have to do a better job of executing the calls consistently.
On the TCU offense changing with Casey Pachall in rather than Trevone Boykin
I don't really know how much more of a veteran he is. Boykin played the whole game against us last year. He's played more in the past year and a half than Pachall has. Over a four-year span, Pachall has probably taken more snaps. They are both experienced guys who have taken plenty of reps. They are both capable of going in there and executing the offense.
On the offensive line play
The consistency that we have is not winning football. We have been improving up front.
Quinton Spain
played his best game last week.
Pat Eger
was really good before he went down. Orlosky,
Adam Pankey
, Marquise Lucas are young and they are going to keep improving. In my opinion, (Curtis) Feigt and (Nick) Kindler need to get better. I think they took a step back last week and they know that. They need to get better this week. You can have average receivers if you have a great offensive line. I feel differently about the quarterback position. I think you need good quarterback play regardless if you have a good or bad offensive line. The good quarterbacks can bail out a bad offensive line at times. I don't know if a good offensive line can balance out a bad quarterback. They're still inconsistent, still learning to play together and still improving. I am pleased with their attitude and their will to get better.
On TCU's defensive scheme
I've seen it quite a bit. There's a lot of similarities between what they do and what Kansas State did. We will know what they're doing. Their gig is to beat you defensively, they're going to match routes really well. Their pad level on the defensive line is outstanding. They get low and push the pocket. I could come up with all kinds of schemes that work against this defense, it's the execution that is difficult. They're going to cover people, and we are going to have to make plays with them being covered.
's ability to change the play at the line
That isn't going to happen this year. I've come to terms with that. He's going to do his absolute best to understand and go out to execute it. That's 100% for the offseason. He needs to look at cut-ups from an entire year without the pressure of trying to prepare for an opponent. He needs to sit in a room and study it, then go outside and work on that for a couple months. He's going to need that downtime and offseason time in order to grasp what we are asking of him, which isn't surprising. Clint missing close throws is a combination of things. Missing some things last week was due to him not trusting the offensive line too much. His eyes weren't always on the right place and he missed some reads. The communication is good. We fixed those issues with reps and practice. Continuity with the receivers will improve with time. It's a whole list of things that need to be worked on. No one really has time or patience for it but it's just reality.
On the starting QB this weekend
I would think that (
Clint Trickett
is starting). We will evaluate it today and tomorrow. I put
Paul Millard
in there because I felt that we need a bit of a spark. We got down two scores and had 12 points in the fourth quarter, so I put him in there to try and execute. He understands what we are trying to do a little bit better. I felt like it was worth a try. He got in there and we moved the ball a little bit. We will evaluate these guys in practice and see how they do.
On what he's seen from the receivers
I thought we played our worst game at receiver two weeks ago. I thought we played okay last week. It wasn't a winning performance and it's not progressing like I wanted it to progress. I think everybody would agree that last week offensively was not a winning performance. You can take shots but you have to win downfield. You're going to have covered people and make the proper plays and make the proper throws to catch the ball and get up the field.
On using bowl eligibility as motivation
Because that number is sneaking up on us it'll probably be used as motivation. I feel like we have a lot to play for. I think the players feel like they have a lot to play for. What we do matters and we have an obligation to put our best foot forward, get out there, practice hard and put our best foot forward on Saturday. I think our guys have done that. We haven't finished well the past two weeks but they've been competitive. The game last week was a lot more competitive than what the final score indicated. It's not a moral victory to say we were in the game in the fourth quarter the past two weeks, that's not my point. We are battling, but it's not a winning effort.
On removing the first eight games on the defensive goals board
We are starting over. We have four games left so it's a new season. That's what our message was Sunday, We have to keep fighting and keep battling, stay united, keep practicing and keep improving.
Ford Childress
playing before the end of the season
It's possible. In my opinion he didn't do anything to lose the starting job. He's going to have the opportunity to come back and we will have to evaluate him in practice. It has to be worth putting it out there on the football field. He's not there this week. He will keep improving. We have three games, then an off week, then five weeks from now we will be playing our last regular season game, so we will see how it progresses. It might be next week but I don't know.
On the mental toughness of a backup QB to be called into the game
You definitely need it. It's what backups are. Whether you like the decision or not, you have to understand what your role is. We talk about that a lot as a team, what your role is, whether you're a starter, a backup or a scout team player. You need to understand and accept what your role is so you can do everything that you can to help the team.
On the football facilities
Not to get into a lengthy discussion, but for me it affects recruiting. The more glitz and glamor you can do affects recruiting. We happen to be part of a conference that understands glitz and glamor and being an arms race. We have to be cognizant of that. What I deal with on a day-to-day basis is what our players deal with, which is meeting, lifting, eating and practicing. If you take that, you can figure out where I'm going with that.

Chowhounds from the NY/NJ area love these. Are they really any different from good summer tomatoes from home gardens or farmers' markets in the rest of the country? Is this another NY/NJ thing like bagels?
All I can find out is that they are picked vine-ripe and moved to market very quickly. New Jersey, the Garden State. Lots of great agriculture near big cities. Essential for great tomatoes. http://njaes.rutgers.edu/tomato/foodi...
Rutgers deleloped the Rutgers heirloom, a wonderful tomato, and Rutger Improved, another great one. Is this what most growers plant? A good heirloom developed by Rutgers University?
Is this an area where the regular supermarket tomato is an heirloom?
Who knows about the great agricultural State of New Jersey?

PHILADELPHIA - The 2011 field hockey season saw the program start to lay the foundation for a return to the top of the Ivy League under second-year head coach Colleen Fink and her assistant Katelyn O'Brien. The Quakers eclipsed their win totals from the previous season; both overall and in the Ivy League.
After starting off the season with three straight games on the road, Penn returned home in mid-September and after dropping the home opener to Lafayette, picked up its first win of the season in Ivy League play with a 1-0 win over Cornell as freshman Emily Corcoran's first collegiate goal was a game-winner and Kieran Sweeney recorded her first shutout of the season. This victory put Penn in first place in the Ivy League after the first week of play. Following a one goal defeat to Villanova, the Quakers got back into Ivy League play, but could not make it two wins in the Ivy League as Harvard prevailed on its home turf.
Coming back to Franklin Field, the Quakers would pick up their second win of the season against La Salle, this time in overtime, on freshman Helene Caniglia's game-winning goal that came on a penalty corner. In the game, Sweeney, with the help of a pair of defensive saves, made 12 stops of her own to post her second shutout of the season. The next two home games did not go the way of the Quakers as Penn jumped out to a lead against Dartmouth before falling 4-2 in the Ivy matchup, followed by a 3-1 early morning loss to UC Davis.
Getting back out on the road, Penn took on Lehigh, a team it had lost to by three in the preseason. The Quakers closed the gap, but fell by another one goal margin, 4-3. In New York that weekend, Columbia would get its revenge from a Penn win last season, coming away with a 5-1 win.
Once again, the home field advantage of Franklin Field would help turn the tides as the Quakers scored a team-high five goals in the 5-2 win over UC Davis. In that contest, freshman Alex Iqbal would tally a hat trick, while Kirstin Snyder and Caniglia also scored for the victors. Julie Tahan added two assists for the game. This marked the first time since 2009 that Penn had scored five goals in a game. Taking on Yale at Franklin Field the next time out, Penn would open up another early lead with the first goal, but the Bulldogs came away with the 2-1 victory with a strong second half.
After a loss on the road to nationally-ranked Rider, the Quakers would finally get their road win against Brown, avenging last season's defeat to the Bears with a 3-2 road victory. In that game, Iqbal had two goals, including the game-winner, while Snyder tied the game at two with her goal right before the half. Penn would close out the season on senior night against Princeton. Starting all five seniors, Penn battled the NCAA tournament bound Tigers and held them scoreless for over 52 minutes before Princeton came away with the late victory.
Despite the up-and-down season, there is much reason for optimism surrounding the field hockey program moving forward. In addition to eclipsing the win totals, just a one goal difference separated Penn from a victory in four other games. The Quakers also held the lead at some point during four of their Ivy League games.
Offensively, Penn scored five more goals this season when compared to 2010, including a streak of 14 straight games. Before being snapped in the season finale, this streak was the 11th longest active streak in the country. This season also saw many more chances as Penn averaged four more shots and 2.5 more shots on goal in 2011 than it did a season ago.
The Quakers' defense allowed 20 fewer goals in 2011. Opponents also took 46 fewer shots and 20 fewer shots on goal this season. The Penn defense was anchored by Sweeney, who played in all 17 games and started the final 16. Senior Caroline Olt, junior Mandy Epstein, and freshman MaryRose Croddick provided a strong line of defense as each of these three started and played in every game this season.
At the end of the season, Penn had two freshmen, Iqbal and Croddick, named All-Ivy performers. This marked the first time in the program's history that Penn had more than one freshman named to the All-Ivy team. These two were part of incoming class that saw six freshmen start at least one game in 2011.
For the 2012 season, Penn will return five of its six goal scorers. The 17 returning players saw a combined 125 starts between them and played in a total of 189 games. Five of the returning players started in all 17 games, while 11 players played in at least 12 games this past season.
The 2011 season also saw the final games in the careers of five seniors. The Field Hockey Class of 2012 includes Abigail Egan, Erin Healy, Caroline Olt, Kirstin Snyder, and Kieran Sweeney.
Below is a photo gallery highlighting some of the team's achievements from the 2011 season.
