A lot of useful comments on the mail thread
The new UpdateProcessor called (UpdateableIndexProcessor) must be inserted before RunUpdateProcessor.
- The UpdateProcessor must add an update method.
- the AddUpdateCommand has a new boolean field append. If append= true multivalued fields will be appended else old ones are removed and new ones are added
- The schema must have a <uniqueKey>
- UpdateableIndexProcessor registers postCommit/postOptimize listeners.
UpdateableIndexProcessor uses a DB (JDBC / Berkley DB java?) to store the data. Each document will be a row in the DB . The uniqueKey of the document will be used as the primary key. The data will be written as a BLOB into a DB column . The format will be javabin serialized format. The javabin format in the current form is inefficient but it is possible to enhance it (
The schema of the table would be
ID : VARCHAR The primarykey of the document as string
DATA : LONGVARBINARY : A javabin Serialized SolrInputDocument
FIELD_BOOSTS:VARBINARY A javabin serialized data with boosts of each fields
Implementation of various methods
UpdateableIndexProcessor writes the serialized document to the DB (COMMITTED=false) . Call next UpdateProcessor#add()
UpdateableIndexProcessor gets the Searcher from a core query and find the documents which matches the query and delete from the data table . If it is a delete by id delete the document with that id from data table. Call next UpdateProcessor
Call next UpdateProcessor
on postCommit/postOmptimize
UpdateableIndexProcessor gets all the documents from the data table which is committed =false. If the document is present in the main index it is marked as COMMITTED=true, else it is deleted because a deletebyquery would have deleted it .
UpdateableIndexProcessor check the document first in data table. If it is present read the document . If it is not present , read all the missing fields from there, and the backup document is prepared
The single valued fields are used from the incoming document (if present) others are filled from backup doc . If append=true all the multivalues values from backup document are added to the incoming document else the values from backup document is not used if they are present in incoming document also.
processAdd() is called on the next UpdateProcessor
new BackupIndexRequestHandler registered automatically at /backup
This exposes the data present in the backup indexes. The user must be able to get any document by id by invoking /backup?id=<value> (multiple id values can be sent eg:id=1&id=2&id=4). This helps the user to query the backup index and construct the new doc if he wishes to do so.
Next steps
The datastore can be optimized by not storing the stored fields in the DB. This means on postCommit/postOptimize we must read back the data and remove the already stored fields and store it back. That can be another iteration
The old approach is more work compared to the DB approach. It was not good for very fast updates/commits

DAVID Pocock may be sidelined for the rest of the year but, in a curious twist, the injured backrower could block Michael Hooper's bid for the Wallabies captaincy in 2014.
That's the view of former Wallabies flanker Phil Waugh, who believes the need for a long-term captain — and the return of Pocock in a World Cup year — could count against Hooper in his bid to lead his country this year.
"(Hooper's) performances have been great over the past 24 months," Waugh told Fox Sports News.
"I don't believe age is a factor, the factor is going to be where does Pocock sit when he comes back from injury next year, will he be a chance to start for the Wallabies in the World Cup?
"There's a lot of dynamics and changes that could happen and that could play against him."
Hooper's name has been thrust forward as a leading candidate to be named Australia's new skipper with incumbent captain Ben Mowen bound for France at the end of the year.
The Waratahs openside flanker is just 22 and is up against veteran campaigners Stephen Moore, James Horwill and Will Genia but former Wallaby Waugh isn't concerned by his youth.
Rather the 79-Test veteran believes the need to "pick and stick" with a captain who will lead the Wallabies right through to next year's World Cup, combined with the return of Pocock next year, could count against Hooper.
"But he keeps playing so well, he's someone who's thrown his hand up every week," Waugh said of Hooper.
"It's a big selection the captaincy. You go through the history of who's won World Cups, it's always teams with very strong captains."
Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie will next week name a 30-man squad for the upcoming three-Test series against France.
Waugh predicted that the squad would be selected with the World Cup firmly in mind. He also backed Mowen's comments this week that McKenzie should choose a captain that will be in the job for the long-term.
"If you look through the history of who's won World Cups it's been teams who have had consistent selections for 18 months leading into that World Cup," Waugh said.
"So I'd be very surprised if there's a lot of changes from what squad gets picked for the French Tests right through until the World Cup next year.
"In terms of captaincy you need to work out who's going to be a consistent starter.
"I agree with Ben Mowen. It's important whoever they do pick they stick with for the 18 months leading into the World Cup."

SAVANNAH Marshall's pursuit of a Commonwealth Games medal finally got underway on Tuesday night – and not soon enough after she revealed the level of her boredom after a first-round win.
The 23-year-old was the last of the entire 11-strong British boxing team to fight at Glasgow 2014, indeed Joe Joyce and Sam Maxwell had both secured at least bronze before she even stepped into a ring.
However Marshall put in a professional performance against a clumsy and awkward opponent in Indian Pooja Rani, who stumbled around the ring and almost accidently threw an elbow.
Loading article content
Marshall was a unanimous winner to advance to the quarter-finals of the middleweight draw and where she'll meet Botswana's Pearl Morake, who received a bye.
That fight is scheduled for this evening (Wednesday) at the SECC in Glasgow and Marshall insisted she couldn't have put up with the pre-fight activities for much longer.
"I was the last one to box out of all of England so it has been a long wait and to be fair it has been boring," she said.
"There is one games room but it is all mainly for men. There are Xbox's and I don't know what you do to entertain women but it's not that games room."
Marshall is returning to a major multi-sport event for the first time since women's boxing made its debut at the London 2012 Olympics and where, as the world champion, lost her one and only fight.
She's navigated the first hurdle of Rani this time as the sport also makes its first appearance at the Commonwealth Games and Marshall also looked positively at fighting near to midnight on Tuesday.
"I am quite glad I was on last because that meant there was hardly anyone in the crowd. It was a nice way to ease into it," she added.
"I thought she was going to come forward but she didn't so that was a bit of surprise.
"I am on again for a few days now hopefully and we'll have to see if I get better and better the more I fight."

Fuse layups and tests
Thanks for everyones help, that has helped me get to where I am at today.
Now that i have two real layups in my new fuse trying to get weights down. I am looking for some ideas about AUW weights and Fuses.
With the weights guys are coming in at, 38 to 44 grams. Does this include the Horizontal riser?
Once a riser is glued on if it is separate, what does beginning and ending weight ?
also, how much weight is it taking in the nose to balance these other gliders once all the gear and wing is installed? I want to add strength weight in fabric and not nose weight.
I have Made two fuses, #1 came in at 65g out of the mold and was rock solid 20g overweight.
#2 came In 55g with a different layup configuration using 1.7 Kevlar 0-90 full length inner, 3.7 uni to front wing bolt with a 14" 3.7 doubler at saddle area, and two layers of 3 ounce in the nose.
#3.....soon to come-
Waiting on some 4.1 HM,
I will use .75FG as a inner binder-
and should be lighter then the 3.7uni and the 1.7 kevlar as # 2 used
Last edited by dougmontgomery; Dec 05, 2012 at 04:59 PM.
Hey, Doug. My weights were without the stab mount/pylon/riser. My riser weighed around 1 gram without screws.
Worry about finished weight AND where the CG of the fuse alone is. I can make survivable fuses at 37g but they need more noseweight. Rather than dump in lead I've settled on two extra 1.7 kevlar layers up front that bring the weight to 42g or so but move the CG an inch forward. My normal fuses are around 42-44 with canopy and tail mount (1.2g with screws typical.)
If you can get between 45-50 grams with the riser I would say your doing great. I think its ridiculous to strive for fuses under 40 grams not to mention crazy expensive. IMHO
My lightest with hardpoints and screws, with hatch, and a tailboom perhaps 2.5" too long, was around 41.5g (from memory). This is without a tail mount. Trimmed to the length I'd use it, with tail mount added, it would be less than this. I can make lighter but not while keeping it very beefy, not without fabric changes (such as spread tow carbon which you are already using - coming in next batch).
Assuming somewhere around 1g for a horizontal stab mount would be about right. Some are lighter, some are probably heavier, but that sounds about right. I like my mount which is lighter and easy to make, but it requires testing to refine the layup. The usual sort of mounts don't need the testing and aren't so finicky of layup.
Places I shaved weight as I made more fuselages were (1) lighter screws - an easy savings (2) a fair bit less epoxy, but this did require adding a little fabric as less epoxy -> thinner layup -> less stiff (3) minor refinements of what materials I added where.
Getting less epoxy in the final product didn't require a change in how I processed, except for not closing the mold tightly for the first 15 minutes. My mold seals too well around the parting plane and it wouldn't let epoxy out!
If you are not using a very low viscosity epoxy such as MGS, you owe it to yourself to give it a try. It will make a difference as as wetout is easier so less epoxy goes in to start with, and the excess epoxy evacuates easier.
When I lay my fuselages up, I wet the mold, add fabric (dry), try to wet it out from the bottom, then add more on top to finish the job and for the next layer. This minimizes trapped air in the layup so it is stronger - but it is also a touch heavier. Air is lighter than epoxy.
I think I've published my tailboom strength test a few times. Wearing leather gloves, hold the fuselage in the saddle area, on its side (most DLG fuselages are designed to be stiffer and stronger horizontally). Hang a freeweight off the end of the boom. If it holds 5# without complaint (no creaking, cracking noises) then it might be usable. If it holds 7 1/2#, then it is probably just fine. I don't think it needs to hold more than 10# and probably not even that much. If it will, then reduce the fabric! Freeweights are available in 2 1/2# increments as small plates. That makes a convenient test - they even have a hole in the middle.
I am using slow cure mgs, molds heated to 105 degrees and cured 24 hours under heat. i did leave them hand tightened for 30 minutes. then tightened.
I am making a riser mold today so I can try some polyester foam inserts that will go in the riser on top of the harpoint splooge, If I can use 1g of the polyester foam I will have a weight savings..
My riser mold for the polyester foam will be undersized for the thickness of the of the skins, I will pour 4 of these at a time for consistency.
will post some pictures and results as I get further along.
Tom, GT what are the lengths of your fuses?
Ok so I seen Adams fuse tonight, it was a economy fuse 1005 or so marked 44.5 grams. The fuse was amazing- I see how you sold so many, nice work- just what I would expect from a professional.
I guess we cannot compare fuse to fuse and try to match weights of current fuses, all of them are different in diameter and different lengths.
For starters, I would fly anything under 50g as a prototype. 55g would probably be OK, especially with the stab mount integrated. Personally I will no longer build out a ship unless the fuselage is under 45g, otherwise it indicates the tailboom is too heavy (too much material typcially). I have an UL fuselage from Adam that weighs 38.5g w/o stab mount. I have an xxlite fuselage that weighs 38g w/ the stab mount, but it is a few inches shorter than a typical fuselage. The lightest fuselage I've seen was 32g (one off an not production) and survived very hard launches. Stobel fuselages are typically in the 36-40g range. In general however I agree with Tom that 40-43g fuselages are good weights with extra reinforcements forward rather than adding dead weight post build.
I don't see anything wrong with your shape as far as being overly large, but it is hard to say without other photos and side by side shots with other fuselages. The reality is all DLG fuselages are compared against each other and the highest strength to weight ratio wins, no matter the shape. That being said, a 45-50g fuselage with room for 4 servos in the pod will still come out at a great overall auw. Its also good to keep price in check, using HM is nice but you must have the quality to match.
Think about resin flow vs. Pressure.
If you want to get the resin out with pressure, you have to have a path for it.
P(resin) = P(atm) where flow stops.
P(bladder)= P(pneumatic pressure)
Assume resin pressure in the mold=P(bladder)
Now think of how FAR the resin will flow under pressure.
The mold line gap is your vent but as the resin advances, the flow distance is reduced.
Drip a drop of pigment on the farthest distance from the vent and asee how far it goes.
In 1 hours times I get about .250 of epoxy that is outside the mold. Though I have mixed approx. 25 grams for the entire fuse. I have not weighed that material to see how much has pushed out.
My current one piece fuse Fuse I am flying is 48g. I am good with that and I looking as that as my goal.
I will not be able to make 40-44 due to these facts:
1. the circumference behind canopy at LE of Wing is 1.15 wide x 1.55 tall
2. behind my wing is 1" tall and .975 wide.
3. The aft end is .500 wide x .400 tall.
4. also the nose is 9.75" long.
to offset these weights and part of the 9.75" Nose design, My wing is also has a 7.75" Chord.
The design was so there would not be nose weight added, with the length I could use slightly smaller tail surfaces which I have been using for 3 years now without issues.
and...... I love to build.
Doug - Don't despair. I think you can shave some weight off. The one I have been dong is even hurkier and I have settled on a weight of 48 grams. I don't know how much lightwiegt molding experience you have but it took me at least 6 or 8 of these before I started getting the hang of it.
I think your mold is so perfect that it may seal to well, even just finger tight. Try tightening down on a feeler gauge for resin evacuation. Somethng like .050", just so the resin can move easily and the fabric will stay.
My layup is 5.7 oz twill, 3.7 oz uni laminate for the boom. 4 layers 1.7 kevlar in the nose alternating 45* - 0/90* . I have been using about 40 grams of resin research and there is a large amount pushed out.
Who made that lifetime mold for you? It is awsome

text: North Dakota State University has reversed its ban on a grant involving Planned Parenthood that sparked outrage from Republican politicians. Last month, NDSU president Dean Bresciani announced that a $1.2 million federal grant to two faculty members would be prohibited because of Planned Parenthood's participation, due to a state anti-abortion law. However, the reversal only came due to a ruling by state Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem that the law had been held unconstitutional more than 30 years ago and therefore could not restrict the university. Faculty senate President Tom Stone Carlson, who wrote a letter critical of the ban, expressed an ongoing concern about the process in the case. Obviously, the university should have allowed the grant to go forward at the start, rather than making a bad interpretation of the law before any ruling had been made.

Legal Question in Personal Injury in South Carolina
It's been 3 yrs since I was in a taxi cab accident .I ended up with a broken collar bone.My Dr. advices me to wait try to let it heal and see how it healed. Now I'm having a lot of problems is it to late to sue the cab co. ?
1 Answer from Attorneys
I strongly recommend you contact an attorney TODAY!!. Do not wait one single day. You said its been "3 years." But I don't know if that means 2 years, 11 months and 27 days. Or if it means 3 years and one day. The Statute of Limitations is taken very seriously. Just as quickly as you can, you need to obtain reliable documentation, such as police reports, emergency reports/bills, EMS, your own insurance company information, and verify exacly when that accident was and immediately contact an attorney. Even if you think you missed the Statute of Limitations by a very short period of time, still contact an attorney.

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) – Anchor Brewing Company plans to expand, and is eyeing a large space in the new Mission Rock development south of San Francisco's AT&T park.
According to a report published Tuesday, the beer maker wants to put production and distribution facilities, a restaurant, a museum and other public attractions at what is presently Pier 48.
The company would be the San Francisco Giants' first tenant for their $1.6 billion project at Mission Rock.
Anchor executives are quoted as saying the expansion would quadruple their output from 120,000 to 600,000 barrels a year. Currently, Anchor makes its beer at a production facility on San Francisco's Potrero Hill.

To educate the Rowayton community how to grow lawns and gardens without chemicals, Rowayton Gardeners is featuring a pesticide-free lawn and garden lecture on Saturday, Nov. 17 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at the Rowayton Community Center, 33 Highland Avenue in Rowayton. The event is free-of-charge, and seating is limited, so early arrival is suggested.
Guest speakers include Michaela Porta and Heather Lauver from the group pesticide-free New Canaan, who represent a growing number of parents and neighbors concerned about the negative health effects of toxic weed killers and other chemicals on families, pets and waterways.
Other expert speakers on the day's panel are Paul Saltanis from the successful, organic landscaping firm Country Green, and Cathy Beauregard whose landscaping business, Beauregard Horticultural Services, provides innovative, nonchemical strategies for gardening and land care.
Connecticut has a statewide ban on the use of toxic pesticides on school grounds. In an effort to transition to organic methods of lawn care at Rowayton's Pinkney Park, on the banks of Five Mile River, Rowayton Gardeners are advising the 6th Taxing District Commissioners in how to launch an organic, pesticide-free lawn and garden care program in 2013.
"On behalf of Rowayton Gardeners, I'm thrilled to have this new opportunity to make Pinkney Park an organic, chemical-free showcase for our community," Erin Combs says, the group's co-president.
The Rowayton Gardeners have been striving to make Rowayton a beautifully "green" place since 1956. The club holds monthly meetings at the Rowayton Community Center with lectures, workshops on flower arranging, environmental awareness, beautification projects, and garden design among other events.

J'accuse enfin le … conseil de guerre d'avoir violé le droit, en condamnant un accusé sur une pièce restée secrète….
Today is the 100th anniversary of the end of one of the more astounding legal episodes in modern history, the Dreyfus Affair. French President Jacques Chirac marked the occasion on July 12 (Fr.; BBC coverage) by giving a speech honoring Alfred Dreyfus, a French artillery captain convicted of treason in 1894. July 12, 1906, was the date on which the Supreme Court of Appeal reversed Dreyfus's conviction and finally proclaimed him innocent; on July 21, in recognition of all he had been through, Dreyfus was made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor in a ceremony held at the Ecole Militaire. In response to cheers of "Vive Dreyfus!", Dreyfus famously responded, "No, gentlemen, I beg of you. Vive la France!"
The Dreyfus Affair is a story about an egregious abuse of the legal system, driven primarily by a powerful current of French antisemitism and by a desire to shield the French military from its own mistakes. It involves procedurally flawed court-martials, secret evidence, conspiracies, theft of government secrets, deportation to a brutal island prison, leaks to the press, leak prosecutions, riots by antisemitic mobs, and a cover-up and whitewash perpetrated at the highest levels of the French military. As that list should indicate, the affair is ripe with allegorical potential, for all sorts of different purposes, but Americans aren't very familiar with it.
The affair began when French intelligence officers intercepted an unsigned letter to a German military attaché giving away military secrets. Based on unfounded suspicions, his Jewish ancestry, and a ludicrously lax handwriting comparison, Dreyfus was court-martialed for treason. The court-martial was closed to the public and the evidence used against Dreyfus was classified. To firm up the weak case against Dreyfus, the judges were presented with a secret document the existence of which was not even revealed to Dreyfus's defense counsel. On the basis of the secret evidence, Dreyfus was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment at the penal colony at Devil's Island in French Guiana. He was first forced to undergo public humiliation in the courtyard of the Ecole Militaire by having his insignia stripped from his uniform in a "degradation" ceremony. An antisemitic crowd of around 20,000, whose antagonism had been whipped up by the press, was there to jeer at him.
Dreyfus's family urged his innocence at every opportunity, but they were stymied. In 1896, a second letter was intercepted, this one specifically naming Infantry Major Ferdinand Walsin-Esterhazy as the spy. The new chief intelligence officer, Lt. Col. Georges Picquart, immediately re-examined the Dreyfus file and became convinced Dreyfus was wrongly convicted and that Esterhazy was guilty. His attempts to get the General Staff to reopen the case, however, were met with resistance. Instead, the existence of the secret file against Dreyfus was leaked to the press in an effort to cinch Dreyfus's guilt, and a newly forged document specifically naming Dreyfus as the guilty party was also leaked. Picquart was soon transferred to Tunisia, but while on leave engaged in leaks of his own: he confided the information about Esterhazy to a civilian friend, who in turn provided it in confidence to Vice-President of the Senate Auguste Scheurer-Kestner. But Scheurer-Kestner was unable to make any headway in uncovering further evidence.
It's about here that the story turns from injustice to farce.
At a meeting, General Billot, the Minister of War, General Gonse, the Deputy Chief of the General Staff, Major Joseph-Hubert Henry, the forger of the new evidence against Dreyfus, and Dreyfus's biased prosecutor, Commandant Armand du Paty de Clam, decided to warn Esterhazy, the spy, of the suspicions against him so that he could act more discreetly in the future. Indeed, after Esterhazy met with his German handler one more time, he met with du Paty de Clam, who promised him protection. Not long after, however, Esterhazy's banker recognized his handwriting on a copy of the original 1894 letter to the German attaché, which Dreyfus's family had circulated. Scheurer-Kestner publicly declared Dreyfus innocent, and Dreyfus's brother filed suit against Esterhazy. Responding to the charge, the military conducted a hasty court-martial against Esterhazy, again in closed session, and he was promptly acquitted. Instead, Lt. Col. Picquart was arrested and jailed for passing secret military information to civilians.
At that point various French intellectuals began to rally to Dreyfus's cause, including Émile Zola, who published his famous letter, titled "J'Accuse!", in a French newspaper in January 1898. Zola accused various members of the French military of having railroaded Dreyfus and covered it up:
I accuse Lt. Col. du Paty de Clam of being the diabolical creator of this miscarriage of justice– unknowingly, I am willing to believe– and of defending this sorry deed, over the last three years, by all manner of bizarre and evil machinations….
I accuse General Billot of having held in his hands absolute proof of Dreyfus's innocence and concealing it, thereby making himself guilty of crimes against mankind and justice, as a political expedient and a way for the compromised General Staff to save face.
I accuse General de Boisdeffre and General Gonse of complicity in the same crime, the former, no doubt, out of religious prejudice, the latter perhaps out of that esprit de corps that has transformed the War Office into an unassailable holy ark….
I accuse the offices of the War Office of having used the press, particularly L'Eclair and L'Echo de Paris, to conduct an abominable campaign to mislead public opinion and cover up their own wrongdoing.
Finally, I accuse the first court martial of violating the law by convicting the accused on the basis of evidence that was kept secret, and I accuse the second court martial of covering up this illegality, on orders, by committing the judicial crime of acquitting a guilty man with full knowledge of his guilt.
An English translation is here; the original French can be found here.
The Zola letter marked a dramatic turning point, where public pressure began building on the French government to conduct a proper investigation into the affair. French society split between "Dreyfusards" and Dreyfus's mostly antisemitic opponents, such as the Ligue Antisémitique Française. A Dreyfusard became President and there was an anti-Dreyfusard coup attempt. Zola was criminally charged with libel against the various parties he accused, and his subsequent trial was a sham. He was convicted, and fled to London.
Later that year, however, the 1896 Henry forgery was finally revealed; Henry confessed and committed suicide, and the new Minister of War resigned along with two members of the General Staff. In 1899, the Supreme Court of Appeals finally heard Dreyfus's appeal and overturned his treason conviction, granting him a new trial. He was brought back to France, re-tried before a court-martial, and convicted again. Due to "extenuating circumstances," i.e., the fact that someone else had been proven to be the guilty party, the military court lessened Dreyfus's sentence to ten years' detention, five of which he had already served.
Ten days later, amid an international uproar over the verdict, French President Émile Loubet pardoned Dreyfus, and the Minister of War pronounced the matter closed. Picquart was released from prison, and the Chamber of Deputies passed a general amnesty law that applied to all parties involved in the affair, including Zola. Zola, however, died under mysterious circumstances of carbon monoxide poisoning in 1902. Dreyfus, meanwhile, was allowed to pursue an appeal of his second conviction, which finally led to the Supreme Court of Appeal reversal in 1906.

When I wrote to you on 17 November 1997[26]
I set out the Government's response to 22 of the 29 conclusions
contained in your Committee's report "Enhancing Parliamentary
Scrutiny of the Third Pillar" (Session 1997-98, 6th report).
I explained, however, that the other seven conclusions in the
report had potential implications outside the Third Pillar, and
thus needed to be considered in the light of the Government's
general overhaul of the scrutiny process. I was therefore unable
to respond at that time to the report's conclusions (iv) and (xii),
relating to the criteria for the deposit of documents; (ix) to
(xi), on the principle of a Parliamentary scrutiny reserve and
a minimum period of scrutiny; (xvi), concerning reporting to Parliament
on meetings of the JHA Council; and (xxi), about Parliamentary
oversight of common position texts
I am glad to say that the Government's overhaul
of the scrutiny system is now complete, and you received from
Margaret Beckett an advance copy of the Government's White Paper
(Cmd 4095) in response to the report of the Select Committee on
Modernisation of the House of Commons "The Scrutiny of European
Business" (7th report Session 1997-98). I am therefore now
in a position to dispose of the outstanding conclusions in your
Committee's report. I enclose a Supplementary Memorandum for this
purpose setting out the Government's response to the seven remaining
conclusions to your Committee's report. You will be pleased to
see that we have been able to respond positively to almost all
of them.
27 November 1998
1. The Memorandum submitted in November
1997 set out the Government's response to 22 of the 29 conclusions
contained in the report of the House of Lords Select Committee
on the European Communities "Enhancing Parliamentary Scrutiny
of the Third Pillar". The remaining seven conclusions were
not dealt with at that time as they raised issues which had implications
beyond the Third Pillar, and which the Government proposed to
address in the context of its wider consideration of the processes
for scrutiny of European legislation. The Select Committee on
Modernisation of the House of Commons has now publised its report
"The Scrutiny of European Business" (7th report Session
1997-98), and in response the Government has published a White
Paper "The Scrutiny of European Business" (Cmd 4095)
setting out its proposals for implementing modifications to the
system of Parliamentary scrutiny.
2. Against the background of the White Paper,
and the House of Commons' debate on the amendments to the Standing
Orders which took place on 17 November, this Supplementary Memorandum
sets out the Government's response to the remaining seven conclusions
of the European Communities Committee report. These are the conclusions
numbered (iv), (ix) to (xii), (xvi) and (xxi).
iv. It would not be appropriate to adopt
more formal guidelines for the deposit of Third Pillar documents.
We note with approval the changes proposed by the House of Commons
Select Committee on European Legislation to the House of Commons
Standing Order No. 143.
xii. The basic principle should be that
Third Pillar documents are depositable and the expectations for
confidentiality and secrecy must be interpreted narrowly.
3. The Government welcomed the changes proposed
by the House of Commons Select Committee on European Legislation
to the House of Commons Standing Order No. 143, which were supported
by the Modernisation Committee and adopted by the House of Commons
on 17 November 1998. The amendments to the Standing Order clarify
which Third Pillar documents should be deposited for scrutiny
and establish the basic principle that such documents are depositable,
subject to narrow exceptions in cases where there is a need to
withhold documents on grounds of confidentiality. The Government
expects such cases to be rare. In all such cases the Government
will inform the Committees of all reasons for withholding information.
ix. We regard the imposition of a formal
Parliamentary scrutiny reserve in relation to Third Pillar proposals
as essential if Parliament is to play an effective role in scrutinising
the Third Pillar.
x. We believe that granting Parliament a
minimum period of time to scrutinise Third Pillar instruments
is essential to permit effective Parliamentary scrutiny of the
Third Pillar. The Amsterdam Treaty is unlikely to be ratified
by all Member States for at least 18 months and we see no reason
for delaying the introduction of a minimum scrutiny period in
the interim.
4. The Government agrees that it is essential
for Parliament to play an effective role in scrutinising the Third
Pillar. The Government welcomes adoption by the House of Commons
of the proposal of the Modernisation Committee to amend the Scrutiny
Reserve Resolution so that it extends to the Third Pillar. The
amended Resolution now prevents the Government from agreeing any
Third Pillar proposal until scrutiny has been completed. The only
exceptions to this rule would be those specified in the Resolution
itself (ie the Minister considers that the proposal in question
is confidential, routine, trivial, or the same as a proposal on
which scrutiny has already been completed, or for other special
reasons). The Resolution is held to apply equally to business
considered by the European Communities Committee.
5. Once the Amsterdam Treaty enters into
force, the Government will seek to ensure that the minimum notice
period for the adoption of legislative proposals or proposals
under Title VI of the TEU is effectively applied, both in the
UK and the Council, as required by the Protocol on the Role of
National Parliaments in the European Union. The Government is,
however, not in a position to apply the notice period unilaterally
in advance of the Treaty's entry into force, and its consultations
as to the possibility of interim application have not so far borne
xi. We recommend that the Government should
not agree to the adoption in the Council of a Third Pillar proposal
which has been deposited in Parliament within a six week period
preceding the date of the Council unless it has received confirmation
from the relevant Parliamentary Committees that scrutiny of the
document has been completed.
6. The amended Scrutiny Reserve Resolution
now prevents Ministers from agreeing to adoption in the Council
of any Third Pillar proposal on which scrutiny has not been completed,
except in the special circumstances referred to above.
xvi. The Government should be obliged to
provide Parliament with a detailed written report on the outcome
of a Justice and Home Affairs Council meeting within two weeks
after each meeting. Following receipt of the report, the Committee
could decide whether or not to invite the relevant Minister or
officials to attend a public meeting of the Committee to answer
questions arising therefrom.
7. The Government welcomes this proposal
and suggests that it might best be achieved by means of the proposal
made by the Modernisation Committee, ie that the relevant Minister
should send a detailed letter to the Chairmen of the Scrutiny
Committees of both Houses of Parliament.
8. Ministers and officials would be pleased
to attend a public meeting of the Committee to answer questions
on the outcome of the Justice and Home Affairs Council, if invited
by the Committee.
xxi. There must be Parliamentary oversight
of common position texts.
9. The Government agrees with the Committee's
conclusion and notes with approval that Joint Positions (Common
Positions following the ratification of the Amsterdam Treaty)
are included in the changes proposed by the House of Commons Select
Committee on European Legislation to the House of Commons Standing
Order No 143.
November 1998
Thank you for your letter of 27 November on
the above subject, and for submitting a further EM.
When Sub-Committee F and the Select Committee
have had a chance to look at it in detail I will come back to
you if necessary. My immediate reaction is that we have made some
substantial progress on this issue and I am grateful for your
30 November 1998

[VIDEO PICK: Golazo] Saturday's emotional hat trick by Ronaldinho began with an amazing top corner finish from the wing that moved him to tears in a 6-0
home win over Figueirense.
Now 32, the two-time FIFA World Player of the Year added a pair of assists to his three goals, helping Atletico Mineiro remain second in Brazil behind Fluminese. Looking a bit more svelte, and playing well, Ronaldinho ended August with THIS goal from a run started in his own half, and a playful celebration. Saturday's opener elicited a very different reaction.
Ronaldinho took the field facing a possible multi-game suspension for a high cleat two weeks ago, and one day after the death of his stepfather, to whom he dedicated the performance.
"I did the best I could, what I had to offer, in his honor," he said. The opener comes off a return pass on this short corner. Ronaldinho lets the ball run, then curls in this wicked first touch from distance, causing the star to drop to one knee, overwhelmed by emotion

WINNIPEG - When Paul LaPolice received a contract extension in the spring, the situation was eerily similar to Doug Berry's back in 2008.
Their teams had just been to the Grey Cup. Both were going into their third seasons.
Little did either know it, their offensive co-ordinators were about to help get them fired.
LaPolice's mistake was hiring Gary Crowton, a risk to begin with because he had never experienced the three-down game before.
LaPolice wasn't happy at the time about my comparison between Crowton and Berry's inexperienced CFL offensive co-ordinator, Kit Cartwright. He intimated that Cartwright, whose struggles led to Berry's firing (sound familiar?), couldn't hold Crowton's jock strap.
Well, it turns out it's the other way around, because Crowton is producing an offensive output this season that is right on par with the one Mike Kelly hacked up in 2009. And that's saying something.
The Sun decided to take a look at the Bombers' offensive numbers through 14 weeks of the last seven CFL seasons, which in Winnipeg means a closer examination of the work of five co-ordinators.
Not surprisingly, Crowton's numbers are among the worst the team has produced over the last seven seasons. Kelly's stats were almost as terrible, and he didn't even have Buck Pierce to work with for a few games. Crowton's crew is dead last in three of the CFL's four main offensive categories, while Kelly brought up the rear in only two of them.
It's apparent through "no comments" from offensive players recently that not everyone is on the same page as their co-ordinator. The Bombers have scored nearly twice as many points in the second half as they have in the first this season, which signifies Crowton is OK at halftime adjustments but not much for game planning north of the border.
Dropped balls and bad decisions haven't helped the Bombers, but it ultimately falls on Crowton, who has been running the show on his own since LaPolice got fired. Even more damning for Crowton and GM Joe Mack's decision to fire LaPolice is the fact the offence has gotten much worse since the head coach got the boot.
Surprisingly, the best offensive numbers the Bombers have produced over the last seven seasons came under LaPolice's watch in 2010, when they finished with their worst record (4-14) during that span. That's the year they lost nine games by four points or fewer and had Pierce for parts of only five games. That's also the year they had an experienced backup in Steven Jyles.
So this was basically a round-about way of telling you something you already knew: Crowton's offence is not good. Now you have statistical proof that it is one of the worst.
A look at Winnipeg's key offensive numbers (per game) from the day Paul LaPolice was fired and what they are today:
Aug. 25 Oct. 3
Points 22.0 19.8
Yards 348.9 316.4
Rush 90.0 92.6
Pass 278.1 245.0
We took a look at the numbers produced by Winnipeg's offensive co-ordinators at this point of the last seven seasons. The totals at the bottom are each co-ordinator's combined placings, so the lower the number the better.
1. 10 LaPo (26.5)
2. 07 Cartwright (24.4)
11 LaPo (24.4)

Consider a strong poker hand, like a straight or a full house. Each card contributes to the power of the hand, making the outcome greater than its parts. So it is with convergence in marketing, where the fusion and interdependence of marketing tools, channels, media, and presence can spur company growth and success. You'll hear a lot about convergence at the upcoming Marketing.FWD Summit, and that's because when these forces align, good things happen.
Of course, you can't go willy-nilly posting a video here, whooshing off a personalized email there — you've got to get savvy with the tech, with the offline-online bridging, with the big picture. That's why we've got some big-picture convergence connoisseurs speaking at the Summit, like Dana Anderson, CMO at Mondeléz, Kristi Argyilan, SVP at Target, Leah Robert, EVP Marketing at Camuto Group and Andrea Ward, VP Marketing at Oracle Marketing Cloud. These virtuosos are going to explain how to orchestrate the top tech with all your various marketing efforts so everything makes music together.
Online and Offline: One Line?
Not long ago, the online and offline marketing worlds were thought to be light years apart. But for marketers, those worlds haven't collided as much as coalesced. Think of the types of media a company might employ: paid media for things like ads, owned media for your own corporate content, and earned media, the organic support that comes from consistent content and strong messaging. Savvy marketers know that those areas aren't separate divisions, but rather partners that can be used together to deepen brand impact.
Companies that are effectively working the room know you need to be where the buyer is, whether that's someone who sees a billboard on their daily commute, sees every #newmarkting hashtag in his or her Twitter stream, or is offered a personalized web page served up by your filtered analytics. Convergence works to create a great user experience where your brand's stories are told and shared, no matter if they are first heard on the radio or seen in a Periscope stream.
Deal 'Em!
The Marketing.FWD convergence chats are going to deal all the inbound-outbound cards in the deck: how content marketing can pair with search, how strong web presences/social media/PR can be three of a kind, how great storytelling is always an ace.
Bring lots of convergence chips to Marketing.FWD Summit — you'll want to go all in. Secure your spot today!

Even though this area has not had a major earthquake in over 30 years it does not mean that a big one can not come soon. It is important to be prepared for an earthquake to ensure the safety of you and your family should one hit in the future.
How well you, your family and your home survive an earthquake often depends an how well you prepared. It's important to develop a family and workplace earthquake plan. An emergency kit is always a great place to start. Items to include in a kit area non parishable food items, water and supplies including a flashlight, a portable, battery-operated radio, batteries, medicines, first aid kit, money and clothing. Don't forget if you have small children or pets to also throw in special food items for them as well.
Below are some tips to get you and your home ready should an earthquake hit:
Earthquake Drill – Choose an plan to exit the home should there be a quake. Go over places in the home that would be the safest. You will also want to come up with an emergency meeting spot should you and your family become seperated during a quake.
Learn how to shut off gas, water and electricity – Learn where in your home the shut offs are located and how to turn them off should you ever need to.
Check home for stability. Make sure large items such as your water heater and major appliances are secure, as well as tall, heavy furniture, hanging plants, picture frames and mirrors (especially those over beds). Keep breakables, heavy objects, flammable or hazardous liquids(paints, pest sprays and cleaning products) in secured cabinets or on lower shelves.

SANFORD, Fla., June 4 (UPI) -- Attorneys for George Zimmerman, accused in the death of an unarmed Florida teen and back in jail, said they would ask for a new bond hearing.
Zimmerman arrived Sunday at the Seminole County jail in Sanford, Fla., after a judge revoked his bail. Prosecutors asked for revocation of bail on the grounds Zimmerman lied about financial assistance he had received from supporters.
His attorneys said they would file a motion Monday to ask for a new hearing, CNN reported.
Zimmerman had been in hiding since he was released in April on $150,000 bond, which was revoked Friday.
He is charged with second-degree murder in the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin during a confrontation in Zimmerman's Sanford neighborhood. Zimmerman, patrolling the streets with a gun as part of a neighborhood watch program, said Martin attacked him and he fired in self-defense.
Sanford police initially declined to file charges because of Florida's self-defense statutes.
The death of Martin, of Miami Gardens, sparked protests across the United States. Critics said the black teen had been minding his own business and was accosted by Zimmerman because of his skin color. Zimmerman is Hispanic and white.
In an online statement posted Sunday, the defense team noted that Zimmerman surrendered to authorities voluntarily and within the 48-hour limit mandated by the judge, demonstrating that their client "is not a flight risk," CNN reported.
Zimmerman's lead attorney, Mark O'Mara, said he recognizes his client has "a credibility question that needs to be explained away," the Orlando Sentinel reported Sunday.

New York Knicks vs. New Orleans Hornets Live Stream: Watch Online NBA Basketball (8 pm ET)
New York Knicks vs. New Orleans Hornets will be a battle about starting and breaking streaks. For the Knicks (7-1) it will be about restarting a winning streak after its first loss this season last week. And for the New Orleans Hornets (3-5) it will be about breaking its losing streak; the team has lost three games in a row and tonight could make it four. The Knicks vs. Hornets game can be seen starting at 8 p.m. ET online through live stream in the link below.
The New York Knicks lost its first game this season against the Memphis Grizzlies (8-2) last Friday, 105-95, breaking its 6-game winning streak and losing its title as the only undefeated team in the league this season. But it redeemed itself on Sunday in a hard-fought game against the Indiana Pacers (5-7), 88-76. Now the Knicks are on a mission to start another winning streak. Knicks star Carmelo Anthony scored 26 points on Sunday.
"Last year we let this game slip away," said center Tyson Chandler, referring to the Pacers game, to The Associated Press. "It's definitely the maturity of the team and obviously the maturity of the players. We got a lot of vets around here that understand that these games add up.
"These are the games at the end of the year when you are in the dog fight and jockeying for position, these are the games that put you over or under."
Knicks fans are hoping that the historic club can maintain its success and finally make it into the second round of the playoffs and, hopefully, finals. The Knicks has not advanced past the first round of the playoffs since 2000.
Meanwhile, the Hornets are struggling to rise above a bad start to the season; they are ranked fourth in the Southwest Division. But it's unlikely that they'll be able to turnaround their losing streak tonight, given that they are coming up against the top team in the league.
Hornets star Anthony Davis (No. 1 overall pick in 2012 NBA Draft), who scored a career-high of 28 points in the game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, might be matched up with Anthony tonight.
Tonight's game between the New York Knicks vs. New Orleans Hornets starts at 8 p.m. ET and can be watched online through live stream by clicking here.

Access to medicines versus access to treatment: the case of type 1 diabetes
David Beran a, Ariane McCabe b, John S Yudkin a
In recent years considerable attention has been paid to the issue of access to medicines. The topic burst into the global public spotlight in 2000 when 39 pharmaceutical companies took the South African government to court over its introduction of allegedly unlawful legislation, which gave the minister of health the right to import generic versions of patented drugs and allowed generics to be manufactured locally through compulsory licenses. After this trial, the terms parallel importation, compulsory licensing, intellectual property, generic drugs and TRIPS (the World Trade Organization's agreement on trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights) became part of the vocabulary of many nongovernmental organizations and policy-makers seeking to improve access to medicines in the world's poorest countries.
Since then public-health policy debates have largely focused on patents on medicines as the main barrier to patients' access to treatment. Advocates of this view blame patents for the high prices of essential medicines, putting them out of reach of many people who need them. Much of this controversy has specifically addressed medicines for communicable diseases such as HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. Less attention has been paid to the availability of drugs for noncommunicable diseases, although this group of illnesses including cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic lung diseases and diabetes represents the leading causes of death worldwide.1,2 This paper will argue that access to medicines is not simply a consequence of patents and that it is only one part of the dilemma of care for noncommunicable diseases faced by patients in resource-poor settings.
Access to medicines for chronic conditions
Few studies have examined the issue of access to essential medicines for chronic diseases. However, a recent publication by Mendis et al.3 explores the availability and affordability of medicines for chronic conditions in Bangladesh, Brazil, Malawi, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.3 The study concludes that there is a need to improve the availability of medicine for chronic diseases, particularly in the public sector, and that medicines used in treatment regimens should be made more affordable. However, this paper only examines the issue of price as a barrier to access to medicines and does not consider either the additional costs of care or the other constraints to care faced by patients with chronic disease.
The focus on access to medicines is limited. Instead, policy-makers should take a broader view that encompasses barriers to access to treatment. Work has been conducted by two of the authors in Mali, Mozambique and Zambia with the Rapid Assessment Protocol for Insulin Access (RAPIA), a multi-level assessment of the health system.4,5 This has shown that while the treatment of patients with diabetes is poor, this cannot be attributed entirely to barriers resulting from the price of medicines. A more complex picture exists of what these barriers comprise.
In none of the three countries surveyed was there one single price for insulin. Instead, prices depend on location of purchase, the complexity of the supply chain and the method by which the medicine was purchased. There is, for example, the price at which the government or central medical stores (CMS) purchase insulin and which may include duties or taxes. In some countries, government health facilities purchase insulin from the CMS at a higher price than the CMS purchased it from pharmaceutical companies or international distributors. This is due to the additional costs incurred as a result of the maintenance of storage facilities and transport costs that are passed on to the health units. Insulin may then be sold to patients with or without government subsidy. In Mali, for example, patients pay a higher cost for insulin than the CMS and health facilities because costs sustained along the distribution chain are paid for by the patient. However, Mozambique and Zambia have mechanisms in place so that patients receive free or subsidized insulin from government health facilities, although the frequent experience of stock shortages in these units3,5 means that some people will need to procure their insulin in private pharmacies at prices 25–125% higher than from public facilities.
In the absence of patents, except for the newer analogue insulins, generic insulin is available only in certain countries. India, for example, has a few manufacturers but, unlike antiretrovirals, this insulin seems to be mainly for local use. In most resource-poor countries the main source of insulin is from the two major insulin producers, Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly. While equity pricing arrangements exist for the purchase of insulin by ministries of health, these do not apply to the private sector and, furthermore, are in place only in selected countries.
Other factors impacting diabetes treatment
While access to insulin is important, syringes and monitoring are also needed for people with type 1 diabetes. In the surveyed countries, these were rarely available in the public sector and had to be purchased privately where value-added taxes on syringes increased the cost. The price varied from US$ 0.04 in Mozambique to US$ 1.50 in Zambia.5 In addition, access to diagnostic tools for initial diagnosis and follow-up are essential to monitor and adjust treatment. Again, in the three countries examined, there was a lack of such tools. For example, only 21% of health facilities surveyed in Mozambique had a blood glucose metre.5
An essential part of care for chronic conditions is access to health-care workers with appropriate training. In each of the countries surveyed, there are only two specialized doctors in the field of diabetes and another five to 10 health-care workers who had received some form of training in diabetes management. Outside the urban centres, proper diabetes care is hard to find. Patients have to travel, in some cases more than 1000 km, to receive their care, thus incurring additional costs. For example, in Zambia, patients' average transport costs per visit were US$ 2.03, which represents 7% of an individual's monthly income. In some circumstances additional doctors' consultation fees (in the public and private health systems) increased the total cost of care.5
In Bamako, the capital of Mali, it was estimated that the average monthly spending on diabetes care for a patient was US$ 21.24, corresponding to nearly 70% of mean income.5 This includes each month: one blood glucose measurement, eight syringes, one vial of insulin at an average cost of US$ 10.88 in the public sector, one monthly consultation and travel costs.
Other issues the authors identified as limiting access to diabetes care included: the lack of clear national policies for diabetes and non-communicable diseases; the important role of traditional healers (the most prevalent source of health services in rural areas); the lack of components of a functioning health system, including health workers and record systems, for chronic disease management; and the limited national health budgets of resource-poor countries.5
Is access to medicines sufficient for chronic conditions?
Proper care for both chronic communicable diseases such as HIV/AIDS and non-communicable diseases like diabetes requires more than access to a supply of medicine. Instead of focusing solely on access to medicines, attention should be paid to access to treatment. This concept refers to how health systems can ensure access to other factors that also affect patient care and outcomes. These elements may include the availability of diagnostic tools and the presence of trained health-care workers who are able to interpret laboratory test results, formulate treatment and refer patients for specialized attention. This process must take place in a health system with the appropriate infrastructure required to guarantee continued supply of medicines and continuing care for chronic conditions. In addition to these requirements, a positive policy environment and the involvement of the family and community are also necessary.6,7
While substantial attention has been paid to communicable diseases, the burden of morbidity and mortality of chronic non-communicable diseases is challenging health systems throughout the world and must also be addressed.2 Access to medicines alone cannot improve levels of health in developing countries so it is important to expand the concept of access to medicines to that of access to treatment for the benefit of patients and the success of health systems in general. ■

The Latin script (also called the Roman script) is the most widely used writing system in the world, being the script of the English language, spoken by over 300,000,000 people worldwide. It is also the script used for writing a number of Romance, Germanic, Baltic and non-Indo-European languages, as well as the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).
The script was derived from the Western variant of the Greek alphabet. The earliest extant inscription, an engraved brooch now in the 'Museo Nazionale Preistorico Etnografico Luigi Pigorini' in Rome, has been dated to the 7th century BC. The script developed slowly over the next thousand years, and by the 4th century AD many of the modern forms had been developed, and writing had settled into a consistent left to right direction. The Latin script was disseminated throughout western, northern and central Europe and the Baltic countries along with the Christian religion. However it was not until the colonization of the Americas, Australia, and parts of Asia, Africa and the Pacific that the script began to spread outside of Europe, carried by the English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Dutch languages.
As the script spread around the world, a number of language-specific amendments were made in order to accurately represent the sounds of various languages. These included ligatures, for example the German esszett ß, and a number of diacritics. Some languages also adapted the alphabet by the addition of entirely new letters, such as eth Ðð used in Faroese and Icelandic or epsilon Ɛɛ used in many Niger-Congo orthographies.
The Latin script is bicameral; it is written using both upper- and lower-case letters. It is written horizontally from left to right. Each letter sits on the baseline, with some letters having descenders hanging below the baseline, and some having ascenders protruding beyond the x-height. The script also uses a set of punctuation, which is almost entirely consistent across European languages. Exceptions to this include different syles of quotation marks (" " and « »), the Greek question mark, which is identical to the semicolon in many other languages (;), and the Spanish inverted question/exclamation marks (¿ and ¡).
Digits from 0-9 are used. These can be combined to represent larger numbers.

The following stories have been hand-selected by the Assignment Desk at News4:
Insidenova.com: "Mosquitoes collected from the north Woodbridge and Lake Ridge area on July 8 have tested positive for West Nile Virus, Prince William County officials said Wednesday. The mosquitoes are the first to test positive in the county this year. Officials from the Prince William Mosquito Control Program regularly test mosquitoes 'to determine periods of greater risk of contracting West Nile Virus,' county officials said in a press release."
Baltimore Sun: "It's difficult to imagine an animal less likely to draw admiring crowds at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore. A homely giant salamander that hides under rocks, slimes its enemies when threatened, and goes by such aliases as snot otter, devil dog and Allegheny alligator, the hellbender is nevertheless seen as an important and valuable addition to the zoo's collection."
Loudoun Times: "One of Loudoun's long-standing bridges, the Goose Creek Bridge, now faces certain destruction after the county Board of Supervisors voted 8-1 on July 19 to destroy it. 'This bridge needs to be demolished,' Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio (R-Sterling) said. There wasn't much of an argument, with Sally Kurtz (D-Catoctin) the lone supervisor to vote in favor of a restoration project that would cost approximately $1.3 million more than demolishing it. Destroying the bridge carries a $195,000 price tag."

Vilsack: U.S. should have single food inspection agency
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Tuesday he favors a single food safety agency, but he has not decided whether it should be located in the Agriculture Department's Food Safety and Inspection Service, the Food and Drug Administration or an independent agency. Commenting on the salmonella peanut butter scandal, Vilsack told the U.S. Rice Federation that the issue of centralization is key because food safety is both a human health and market issue. "We are the only industrial nation to have two systems," Vilsack said, a reference to USDA's responsibility for meat, poultry and eggs and FDA's responsibility for most other food products. Noting that 325,000 Americans are hospitalized every year for treatment of food-borne illnesses and that "millions" of others have food-borne illnesses that do not require treatment, Vilsack said the government must ensure that the food supply is safe...Government Executive
