Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Computers' started by Jim Williams, May 14, 2004.
Are there any video cards with component out so I can connect my computer to my RPTV (Mits WT42311)?
I believe the newer ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon cards have component out, as a dongle. You can also use a VGA-to-Component video transcoder box, like an Audio Authority 960 (I think that's the model) box. I have one, and it works. However, RPTVs tend to suck for use with a PC. Blurry text. You will also need an application like PowerStrip to get the HDTV timings just right too...
Yes, and many of the non-AIW versions do as well (the dongle converts the DVI out into component, I believe). Ryan
I have it and the PQ went up considerably over SVHS connection. http://www.ati.com/products/hdtvadapter/ Using powerstrip to configure the picture to 720x480.
Thanks guys, I will look into the ATI.
And, although it was mentioned, Transcoders will convert VGA to component, and not lock you into a specific video card. -vince

2002 Subaru Impreza Outback Questions
Get answers to your auto repair and car questions. Ask a mechanic for help and get back on the road.
Find questions for your car.
Sort by:
now the clock went out, will not work with battery reconnect- now door ajar light is always on and security light flashes off and on- is it a problem with the car's computer or something else?
At 45mph+ when I let off the gas and coast there will be a rattling coming from the front right side. It shakes the steering wheel but doesn't cause any impairment while driving. When the shaking/rattling is happening if I hit the brakes it stops but when I let off it rattles/shakes again at 45mph+ while coasting. Sometimes after the car has sat whether it be cold or hot, when I put it in first or reverse there will be a loud clunk from the front right side when I start to move. No shaking just a loud thunk and it happens over bumps but while it's all happening if I hit the brakes it goes away. I just rebuilt the motor for this car but I'm lost on this.
on my 3 liter h6, my p/s pump has a pressure switch sensor that keeps blowing out and spraying fluid. i took it out and it sems like the star washer and grommet that keeps the brass male business in the pump have no retention left in them. the p/s pump works well enough to not replace, i just need the sensor. anyone else seen this issue and how did you solve it?
My mechanic is saying that the oil leaking on to the O2 sensor is causing the an issue with the wires and the misfire because the gas is not burning properly through the exhaust
Bolt holding alternator to car sheared off not once but twice...this takes out powersteering but more importantly only have 20 minutes of drive time without any radio/lights,etc on because the battery can't charge...this problem has occurred twice driving on a straight road on my way to work stranding me twice. Why does it happen and how can it be fixed right so I can put this behind me? Just yesterday I had to borrow someone else's car because when I started mine up it made a new clicky whapping noise which went away after I drove it about 600 yards,but it didn't sound good and intermittently I smell burnt rubber.
I just got an email from the dealer stating it was about time for my 87,000 mile maintenance. Can't find a listing of what that should entail in my owner's manual. Does anyone know what I should expect?
Can anyone tell me how much it cost to replace an ignition key. I lost mine. So far estimates are $150 to $200...Is there a easier way?
Any time the outside temp is above 65 deg. my left front brake locks up. It happens going down the road, not even usingthe brakes, or at stop lights. I have changed the caliper, brakes, brake line, any other ideas? Thanks

Identification of specific DNA mismatch repair gene mutations in colorectal
cancers may improve clinical management, but current DNA sequencing techniques
do not detect all mutations. Casey and colleagues report results of a study
comparing conversion analysis vs DNA sequencing to detect 3 mismatch repair
mutations in colorectal cancers. The authors found that conversion analysis
detected more deleterious mutations than conventional DNA sequencing.
See Article
Urine cytology is one test used in the diagnosis of bladder cancer,
but it has low sensitivity. Grossman and colleagues investigated whether a
proteomic assay for a tumor marker, nuclear matrix protein NMP22, in voided
urine and available at point-of-care, could improve detection of malignancy
in patients with risk factors or symptoms of bladder cancer. The authors found
that the NMP22 assay to have positive results in 44 of 79 patients with confirmed
bladder cancer, including 4 tumors not seen on cystoscopy, whereas urine cytology
had positive results in only 12 of 76 patients.
Patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) who
achieve virus suppression while receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy
(HAART) are known to experience intermittent episodes of detectable viremia
("blips"). Nettles and colleagues tested the hypothesis that these
blips are random and clinically insignificant by assessing HIV-1 RNA levels
every 2 to 3 days over 3 to 4 months in 10 patients. They found blips in 9
of 10 patients, results that were statistically consistent with random assay
variation and were not associated with concurrent clinical factors, antiretroviral
drug concentrations, or drug resistance mutations.
Recent trials of multidonor islet transplantation for type 1 diabetes
have demonstrated success, but single-donor transplants would be preferable
by allowing more patients access to this treatment and reducing risk. Hering
and colleagues investigated single-donor islet transplant with initiation
of immunosuppression prior to transplantation in all 8 study patients. There
were no serious transplant- or immunosuppression-related adverse events, and
5 of the patients remained insulin-independent at 1 year of follow-up.
Monitoring fetal development is currently limited to noninvasive methods.
Larrabee and colleagues hypothesized that if fetal messenger RNA (mRNA) could
be detected in amniotic fluid, it could be analyzed to study fetal gene expression,
which could reflect fetal well-being. They describe the extraction of fetal
mRNA from cell-free amniotic fluid samples, amplification of the mRNA, and
analysis using gene expression microarrays. Among their findings were gene
expression changes related to sex, gestational age, and disease status.
Monogenic disorders such as β-thalassemia frequently involve single
nucleotide exchange or point mutations, which are challenging to detect using
current techniques. In previous work, Li and colleagues determined that circulatory
fetal DNA can be reliably separated from maternal DNA in samples of maternal
plasma using a size-fractionation technique. In this issue of JAMA, they report successful application of the size-fractionation
technique to detect paternally inherited β-thalassemia point mutations.
Researchers are tackling big projects aimed at improving human health,
including an effort to develop cancer biomarkers and a venture to use microbial
"factories" to supply a key antimalaria drug to developing countries.

After the recent gameplay video, Warner Bros has released a new screenshot of Cold, Cold Heart, the upcoming story-based DLC for their third-person action-adventure Batman: Arkham Origins.
Batman looks badass as usual. Am guessing we will see a bit of the research labs in Gothcorp.
Not bad, but personally still a fan of the Timm/Dini style that was present in Asylum/City the most.

An insight into 3D printing3:12
3D Printers let you print in metal and wood. The Wall Street Journal looks at the latest in 3D technology.
THE Palmer United Party wants to outlaw futuristic 3D-printed firearms in Queensland, making it illegal to even post schematics online.
PUP Member for Yeerongpilly Carl Judge today introduced laws to create a special licensing scheme for holding, distributing or making digital 3D weapons.
"It is now possible for digital 3D firearm technology to be applied in conjunction with an additive manufacturing process (i.e. 3D printing) to make a physical and operative firearm," the Bill's explanatory notes read.
"Technology advancements associated with the application of digital 3D models and 3D printers are increasing and cost inhibitors are reducing. Nowadays digital 3D model technology can be extensively applied."
The unauthorised publishing or swapping blueprints or detailed instructions would also be made illegal.
Examples of working 3D-printed weapons have emerged in recent months, with the technology growing in popularity.
The construction method has been hailed as a significant advancement that would reduce costs and boost production in a range of fields from housing to medical research.
"Nowadays there are well founded and serious concerns that such firearms will infiltrate our community and this very real risk requires a timely and comprehensive response" Mr Judge said in a statement.
"The Bill that I have introduced into parliament provides that response."

The pretty petite lady Mukti Mohan who was last seen on Colors Jhalak Dikhhlaa Jaa Season 6 is all set and geared up to make her new venture through a dance video that she will soon be releasing. Rohan Shah who has claimed to fame with movies like Kyun! Ho Gaya Na? And some television shows like Channel V's The Serial, Humse Hai Life and Sony TV's Bade Acche Lagte Hai is all set and excited to make a debut with his first direction venture.
Regarding Mukti's video launch, our source informs "Mukti has been trained in Kathak for quite some time now. They thought of bringing out a dance video in more modern and stylized form so that even the youth take interest in an Indian dance form. It is noticed that today's youth is very much inclined and interested in international dance forms like Hip Hop, Contemporary et all and somewhere down the line the essence of Indian dance form is lost. Mukti will be seen performing Kathak on the tunes of Spanish guitar."
Well since this is Rohan's first venture as a director; we got in touch with him and he says, "Yes, I am directing this music video. Acting was always something that I wanted to do but besides acting something that I have always dreamed of is direction. I am more than happy that I finally got an opportunity to direct. I cannot really reveal anything about the video, but all that I can say is the entire team is very young and it is shot in a very pleasant location."
Mukti and Rohan, we really hope that you bring back the lost dance form back your video gets a thumbs up from the viewers. TellyBuzz wishes you all the good luck!

Last quarter, I had the opportunity to attend HeroConf London at etc.venues, St Paul's. Spending two full days in buzzing London city, I attended London's only all-PPC conference and indeed one of the world's largest PPC conferences.
Consisting of 40 speakers, 40 breakout sessions, 4 keynotes and a number of PPC industry related exhibitors, including Optmyzer, Whoop and more. What more could you ask for and how much more could you possibly squeeze in?
It's a cert, my mind was blown after two days with some of best speakers in the business! From representatives of Google AdWords and Bing Ads, to top agency and software reps, there was no shortage of actionable insights to take away and plenty of tasty treats to fuel the next level of PPC learnings!
In this blog, I'm going to outline my top 5 heroes from HeroConf London and their must noteworthy PPC takeaways. In no particular order, let's get started!
1. The Future of AdWords is Automated, Sophie Newton @ Brainlabs
Sophie's keynote wasn't for the faint at heart. Covering some of the most advanced and evolving topic areas, Sophie detailed innovation in AdWords automation, machine learning, artificial intelligence and the evolution of genetic algorithms for bid management. Talk about knocking your socks off and delving deep into the world of the unknown!
My favourite takeaway from Sophie, more simply detailed the future of voice search and how we will use and integrate this into ad platforms in years to come.
By 2020, comScore estimates that 50% of searches will be voice searches and below are just a selection of the activities we'll be conducting with friends, at work and on the go.
And what could all this mean for the future of ads? Sophie presumes AdWords will create spoken keyword audiences and that voice search will be used for targeting customers, in/excluding via remarketing and for similar audiences.
Not only that, did you know we will have a Google AdWords Assistant in the future? Yes, the potential to ask a Google assistant how your campaigns are performing is imminent! Already in development, this is the future of ad management.
As I couldn't decide which takeaway from Sophie excited me most, I had to share what's coming soon to social ads!
Could ad platforms get anymore creepy? Yes….PROBABLY!
Image recognition software for ad targeting is also currently in development. For example, a snapchat of a person with a Starbucks coffee could in the future allow Starbucks to target that person with Starbucks ads because it will recognise the branding from the image.
I don't need to elaborate on the potential of this for promoting products and service offerings for all the major brands!
2. Brand Marketing in a Direct-Response Marketing World, Larry Kim @ Wordstream
This man needs no introduction and if there was ever a competition for the best designed presentation at HeroConf, Larry Kim would have won it hands-down. An array of multi-coloured unicorns in all their glory with a fairy tale-esque storytelling element engulfed me and transported me from donkey land to unicorn land. You really needed to see it to believe it!
Larry's presentation, aside from being graphically on-point, delivered a new way of viewing PPC. Larry outlined how search advertising was showing signs of aging, dropped some advertising truth bombs and delivered some jaw dropping ad hacks.
Ad hack number one outlined how RLSA is key and detailed two strategies to implement.
This approach is simply genius. I'm sure like most PPC professionals, you normally implement a search campaign with some search remarketing but why stretch your budget paying more for first-time visitors if you have a large enough search remarketing audience which you can target for less!
If there was ever a way for a company to grow remarketing list sizes on a lower budget, this is it. Invest in low cost social and display ads to drive volumes of search remarketing lists and then hit them with an RLSA campaign. This is such an effective way to use a small budget and really drive maximum returns.
Larry also detailed some ways to go after customers before they search and how to create stronger biases and affinity with video ads.
In the end we reached our designated destination: Unicorn Land.
3. 4 Advanced Search Query Techniques You Must Be Using In Your Shopping Campaigns, Liam Wade @ Impression
Liam is an analytical genius and his presentation outlined ways to bid on search queries and customer intent, rather than just products.
Covering advanced strategies for Google Shopping campaigns, Search Query Filtering and Search Query Mapping, Liam has identified a complex strategy to get the most from product campaigns.
Liam outlined so many possibilities for filtering search queries including brand, model, product type, colour, size and more so that the right campaign shows and explained how mapping works well in the following scenarios:
– When you have two products running for the same search query and only one converts well
– One product converts better for plural searches than the other
– Wrong colour products convert well
With some of these techniques requiring AdWords scripts for management and implementation, this is definitely one for the larger companies with dedicated PPC teams and something I hope to get stuck into more so in the future!
4. The Definitive Framework for Bidding in AdWords, Wijnand Meijer @ iProspect
The headline for this presentation was 'great bids can't fix a lousy campaign' and how true it is. All too often us PPC'ers bid more just to improve ad rank or to increase visibility with a view to driving more conversions when sometimes gains are to be made simply from how we manage our budget and goals in AdWords.
Here's his prerequisites for bidding which summarises my key learnings.
While Wijnand outlined that a non-brand cost per acquisition (CPA)/ return on ad spend (ROAS), with a flexible budget is good, the best technique is to have a flexible CPA/ROAS to maximise total profit, to include customer lifetime value and to use a data driven or a custom attribution model. His presentation finished with this very handy chart to match your bid strategy to your monthly non-branded conversions.
A handy one for every PPC professional to keep on their desk for reference.
5. AdWords Scripts, Frederick Vallaeys @ Optimyzr
Last, but by no means least, Frederick Vallaeys. Frederick was one of the first 500 employees at Google where he spent 10 years building AdWords and teaching advertisers how to get the most out of Google. Today he is the Cofounder of Optmyzr, an AdWords tool concentrated on data analysis, optimisation, advanced reporting and scripts to make account management more efficient.
I was in awe, this man is incredibly intelligent and a speaker I'd very much like to see again. Alongside a very informative keynote, Frederick covered automated rules, advanced scripts and what you can use them for.
AdWords scripts are pieces of javascript code that automate tasks in AdWords. They can be used for a number of activities reducing time taken to manage complex accounts.
Among Fred's top suggestions for using scripts were the following:
• Monitoring quality score
• Identifying poor landing page experience
• Identifying top performing elements of ads
• Identifying anomalies in data
• Mobile page speed
• Broken landing pages
• Using Google calendar for promotions
• Creating expanded ads from Meta data
• And more.
Who would have known you could have implemented scripts for half of the above! Some in-depth food for thought!
And that's it for mind boggling PPC goodness (in other words, my biggest and best takeaways) from some really superb speakers at HeroConf London 2016.
#heroconf is over. 2 days, 16.25 hrs & 15 speakers. Too many teas, hot chocs & lots of food. A water bottle, t-shirt & lots of #PPC info! 👌 pic.twitter.com/ZBisb7bx7y

Lawyers & Clients: The Initial Interview
First, some context. Both at the start of the film and at the end, Professor Mnookin explains how interviewing and counseling fit together with negotiation. He starts by saying that the relationship between attorney and client is itself something that has to be negotiated, and he closes by reminding us that an effective client-attorney relationship is a precondition for productive settlement negotiations. Please keep that in mind, and think about how the three aspects of this course overlap.
Now for your tasks. Before we start watching the film tomorrow, think back to yesterday's class and ask yourself this question: What are the objectives of the initial interview? While we watch the film, look for examples of the attorneys (Eric and Gerald) meeting those objectives and missing them. Notice how the meeting between Eric and the client, Dr. Susan Garfield, becomes an arm-wrestling match. What is at the root of that? What changes could Eric make to his choice of words, his use of silence, his posture and -- most importantly -- his basic assumptions about the purpose of the meeting to prevent the interview becoming a battle of wills?
The second attorney, Gerald, seems to score better than Eric in terms of eye contact, empathy, and active listening, but I think there is something fundamentally wrong about the way he assigns roles. What is it? The picture below will make more sense when we get to that part of the DVD, by the way.
In addition to noticing how Eric and Gerald conduct themselves, and how their clients respond, I would also like you to pay attention to Professor Mnookin. From time to time he says "cut" and steps on stage to give advice. And after each interview he sits down with Eric and Gerald for a debriefing. Watch how he, Mnookin, asks questions, expresses emotions with his face, and uses his hands.
Finally, look out for examples of active listening techniques such as open questions, clarifying or closed questions, requests for clarification, summaries, reframing statements, and acknowledging emotions. Look out for their absence too. Make note of junctures where one or more of those techniques could have moved the interview in a better direction.

This film loses some of its effectiveness with the first scenario because Prof. Mnookin keeps interfering with the discussions with feedback. The feedback he's giving is good but he's giving it in bits and pieces and forcing the actor/lawyer to retain so much and put it to practice on the spot. How anyone can have that much to remember and put it all to practice on the spot? By the end of the first lawyer-client skit, it seemed as though the lawyer was trying to say the lines the professor told him as opposed to putting theory to practice.ReplyDelete
There seemed to be a subtle irony in the film when Mnookin addresses Eric. Despite the objective of strengthening an attorney's skills in interpersonal relationships, Mnookin displays his own failings with Eric.ReplyDelete
As we discussed in class, Eric just wasn't "getting it." Mnookin was dancing around the issue at hand - that Eric was grossly ineffective in his methods - but failed to get directly to the heart of the matter, presumably to put a positive spin on it. But by fluffing up his advice, he was losing the message in the packaging, which caused diminishing returns. The moment turned more awkward when Mnookin attempted to make contact with Eric by placing his hand on Eric's arm. This was uncomfortable even for the audience.
The moral of the story is that every person has their own "best" method of being addressed. Some clients need nuturing, others need to simply be told the cold, hard facts. And there are a multitude of levels in between. In Eric's case, Mnookin should have simply said to Eric: "Okay, we know that was rough. But you really can't interrupt clients, shout over them, or intimidate them. Your emotions got the best of you. Try again, but by listening more - even when what the client is saying is wrong - and talking less. When the client is given a sense that you are listening, she will in turn be ready to listen to you." With this approach, I think Eric would've readily admitted his errors and performed much better the second time around. He knew things went bad, he didn't need things to be fluffed up to the point where the objectives became lost in the "nice try, champ" speech from Mnookin. Sometimes, people just need to be given the facts - especially lawyers. After all, if a lawyer can't take criticism, they're probably in the wrong business.
Not only did the video provide two examples of poor client counseling (albeit lawyer #2 vastly improved), it also showed a third example of poor counseling. I can't help but wonder how much potential Eric had that went to waste due to Mnookin's failings.
I think what this video really showed is that there is no one "cookie cutter" way to conduct these interviews. While I will not argue that Eric did a good job with the interview, he did follow what Mnookin told him to do and it still went poorly. That is because the client was far too emotionally wrapped in the case to have a rational client interview at this time. Instead of asking any questions, I think it might have been most beneficial for Eric to just put the pen down, and listen to what the client had to say, adding in the good body language (leaning forward, head nodding ect.) and showing that he was intently listening and caring for her situation. I think asking all those questions almost incited her into a more emotional rage than actually helped Eric calm the situation.ReplyDelete
I think Eric may have been more technically sound from a legal perspective albeit with terrible social skills. (Combative with client but wants to know every nuance to explore each possible legal issue)ReplyDelete
Gerald on the other hand had much better people skills but failed to address many of the legal topics. (He's going after the other side...despite the fact that his client has the money, the car, and a possible criminal charge.)
I think Gerald came off as the lawyer people would want to have though if given the choice between the two. This I believe demonstrates the point from the book that building repoire is a greater factor in client satisfaction than legal expertise.

Atletico Madrid's form has rapidly gone from a whispered subject into a full-blown discussion on whether or not their bubble has burst.
The answer is somewhere in between.
With just one win their last five La Liga games, including humbling defeats to Real Madrid, Real Sociedad and Villarreal, it is clear that Diego Simeone's side are in a poor run of form, having slipped down to sixth in the table.
Two of the biggest concerns in Atleti's recent performances are lethargy and a lack of high pressing. They appear to have lost some of their trademark, streetwise approach, particularly in attack.
A key component of Atleti's play has been their ability to smother and stifle their opponents high up the pitch, allowing their midfield to quickly gain possession and attack with real efficiency.
They are without a goal in their last three games, and opponents are becoming increasingly aware of Los Rojiblancos' low confidence by hitting Atleti on the counterattack. Simeone has reacted to this slump in form by using all three substitutes in most of their recent games, albeit with varying degrees of success.
Despite the criticism, however, it's also vital to assess Atleti's performances – of which there are various betting markets offered – with a notion of realism.
While they have stuttered in La Liga, Atleti have been excellent in Europe all season, beating Bayern Munich to top spot in their group with a ruthless display in the Champions League. They remain dark horses to win the tournament, particularly given the inconsistency of Real and Barcelona, and the winter break will allow them to reset ahead of the knockout rounds.
This is another factor that will aid Atleti's certain revival in 2017 as a lack of freshness and energy in their play has been evident, making a period of rest vital. Cholo needs to be able to rely on his squad displaying the necessary stamina and work rate for his style to be successfully implemented. A number of his players also had long European Championships in the summer and are consequently in need a break.
The other positive for Los Colchoneros is their consistent ability to produce and purchase talent that successfully integrates into their structure, an asset which has allowed the club to develop.
Angel Correa and Yannick Carrasco have continued to progress under Simeone, becoming key squad members. Defender Jose Gimenez looks a real prospect in defence and Kevin Gameiro has settled into life at the Vicente Calderon very quickly, as well as looking like an excellent partner for Antoine Griezmann.
This ability to produce excellent young talent, reinvigorate established stars from within their own ranks and make signings with a sensible purpose have allowed to Atleti to become a permanent fixture alongside Real and Barca.
They have not made the same mistakes that clubs such as Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna have in their pursuit of La Liga's upper echelones, nor do they struggle to replace lost talent like they used to.
A serious title tilt is beyond Atleti at this stage due to their own form and Real's unblemished record to date, but they will have a definitive say at the end of the season. They have too much talent, character and hunger to fade in a significant way, and Simeone simply will not let it happen.
Atleti have established themselves as the third force in La Liga, not quite in a position to win the league this year, but they will come back with a bang in 2017. If they put together a consistent run, it will cause real concern across the city and also in Catalonia.

Here is a rare find. Only 100 copies of this book were ever printed.Each copy is numbered and published by Max Abrams in 1976.Each copy has a photograph of a pencil drawing of Ted Annemann attached inside. In 1932 more than a dozen of Ted Annemann's effects were typed up by Frank Lane and sold privately in manuscript form. This hardback edition is a composite of three versions of the "original" manuscript plus the condensed versions of some of the effects as published in Pallbearer's Review. Most of the originla Frank Lane language has been retained, with some necessary editing that was necessary for clarification and corrections. Contents include:The Stop Trick, Another Stop Trick, Cards in the Cases, Four Ace Routine, Thought Card Mystery, Three Pellet Trick (Frank Lane Method and Annemann Method), Red and Blue Decks, Color Changing Deck, You Took the Selected Card, New Spelling Card Trick, Deck of Cards and Two Envelopes, With Back Towards Spectator, The Trick With The New Deck, and The Downs Move.

text: You said it EXACTLY! I'm glad you agree with me. And someone pulling a lawn trailer with an SUV gives a cheesy appearance! Same for a decked-out personal truck. It's not about pulling power or weight, it's about application. The best vehicle for landscape applications is a truck. The best application for a business truck is a basic, functional, clean, and modest truck. A Hummer would be even dumber (I'm a poet). It's like the guy who goes elk hunting in a Subaru stationwagon. Sure it's 4-wheel drive and can carry the carcass, but it's not the best application. Or how about camping with a Cadillac? Yes it works but it's CHEESY! That's my opinion. And I'm sure there are rookies and part-timers that will disagree because they are in the exact situation. "Hey don't make fun of me. It's all I got and I'm trying..."

EVENT: SEQ MTB Gravity Enduro Series
State: TBA
Cat: am
Sat 8 June, 2013
Gravity Enduro
Gravity Enduro is a fast growing format of racing and a great alternative for those riders looking for a bit of fun in a less serious environment than traditional MTB races. Appealing to all types or riders, including downhillers, cross-country and trail riders, Gravity Enduro tracks are less technical than traditional downhills but still provide the same adrenalin pumping challenges and great fun with your mates.
The SEQ MTB Series involves three race days where riders negotiate three to six competitive stages across a day each ranging from 2 to 15 minutes in length. Stages are generally downhill in nature with some short climbing sections and include non-competitive liaison stages, linking riders to the next track, which must be completed in a designated time limit. The overall winner is the rider with the fastest combined time across all competitive stages.
The three-round series will take place on the 7th of April, 19th of May and Round 3 to be confirmed. Round 1 and Round 3 will take place at Mount Joyce Recreation Park, Beaudesert-Boonah Road, Wyralong with the location for Round 3 also to be confirmed.

More than a half-million computers in over 100 countries were infected by sophisticated malware that lets cybercriminals remotely hijack a computer and its webcam, authorities said as charges were announced Monday against nearly 100 people worldwide.
Authorities said 97 people suspected of using or distributing the malicious software called BlackShades have been arrested in 16 countries, including the software's owner, a 24-year-old Swedish man.
"This case is a strong reminder that no one is safe while using the Internet," said Koen Hermans, a Netherlands official in Eurojust, the European Union's criminal investigation coordination unit. "It should serve as a warning and deterrent to those involved in the manufacture and use of this software."
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara called BlackShades a "frightening form of cybercrime," saying a cybercriminal could buy a $40 malicious program whose capabilities were "sophisticated and its invasiveness breathtaking." FBI Agent Leo Taddeo said people suspecting they are BlackShades victims should visit FBI.gov to learn how to check computers.
Authorities said the BlackShades Remote Access Tool or "RAT" has been sold since 2010 to several thousand users, generating sales of more than $350,000. The agency said one of the program's co-creators is cooperating and had provided extensive information.

Just making little FuN, nothing to do with BlackShades or FBI.
It's already been 25th beer over my head.

Just few word here-n-there from the quoted text as I saw/read.
Infected people said to FBI Agent Leo Taddeo, they (FuNNY BuSSiNeSS InveSTIGAtion - FBI) should visit BlackShades victims to learn how to check computers.
I just called FuNNY BuSSiNeSS InveSTIGAtion just to check if I am infected, but Agent Lo Todilo replied gibberish as I listened.

ScotRail hit out as Yousaf faces quiz
UNDER-FIRE Transport Minister Humza Yousaf will this week face MSPs to answer concerns over the railways.
The Transport Minister will this week face MSPs to answer concerns over the railways
He announced yesterday he will make a statement to Holyrood after opponents demanded he appear to discuss his "back of a fag packet" plans to nationalise ScotRail following sustained criticism of operator Abellio.
He said: "It is important to keep Parliament informed of the actions I am taking to ensure ScotRail improve our rail services and I will be proposing to make a statement to Parliament this week.
"I also reiterate my offer to the rail unions, opposition politicians and public sector organisations to meet me to discuss the possible shape of a public sector franchise bid. I'm prepared to work with anyone serious about improving services."
I'm prepared to work with anyone serious about improving services
His comments came as the Dutch-owned firm hit back at the Government and blamed ministers for extortionate fares and overcrowded carriages.
Mr Yousaf has faced calls to quit following last week's rail chaos when tens of thousands of commuters were affected by cancelled trains and delays.
He came under more pressure as new figures showed a slump in the number of trains running on time.
During a TV appearance on Sunday, Mr Yousaf announced plans to put together a "viable and competitive" public sector bid to run the railways, which could be ready for 2020 when a clause in the contract with Abellio would allow for it to be broken.
But Scottish Conservative's finance spokesman Murdo Fraser subsequently called the proposal "half-baked" and said: "If this is a serious proposal, he needs to offer some clear answers to Parliament on how exactly it would work.
"How much would it cost taxpayers? Who would pay for new trains? Either Mr Yousaf can answer these questions or we will know for sure his plans were scribbled over the weekend on the back of a fag packet."
Humza Yousaf is to face Parliament to discuss his plans for ScotRail's nationalisation
However, Mr Fraser welcomed the minister's U-turn and added: "The people of Scotland need to know what's going on as a matter of urgency."
Scottish Labour also echoed calls for Mr Yousaf to make an urgent statement to MSPs, saying "exasperated commuters" deserved answers.
The £6billion ScotRail franchise was awarded to Abellio last year with passengers promised faster journey times, cheaper tickets and more seats. But the service has been regularly criticised over its punctuality and reliability.
Humza Yousaf said it was important MSPs were informed about his actions
Mr Yousaf and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon have warned Abellio that it could be stripped of the contract if its performance does not improve.
And on Sunday, Mr Yousaf promised to hold discussions with a view to possibly nationalise the franchise when it comes up for renewal, either at a five-year contract break in 2020, or when the 10-year deal ends.
Charlotte Twyning, Abellio's director of policy, strategy and communications, said the firm had "no problem" competing with public bids.
Mr Yousaf and Nicola Sturgeon warned Abellio that it could be stripped of the contract
She added: "However, it should be recognised that half of the rail industry is already nationalised in the form of Network Rail and any operator that runs the ScotRail franchise - public or private - does so to a tightly specified Government contract, which means ministers set fares and essentially determine how many seats are available and how much overcrowding exists across the network."
She said the firm was "working hard" to solve the ongoing issues.

Let the flour and seasoning settle for some minutes and then fry the fish in the olive oil (after having let it heat up to boiling point). As a general rule the fish will be ready when it floats in the olive oil. Once all the fish is done serve on a plate on top of a large piece of home-made flat bread.

Kicking Horse River Above Natural Bridge Falls
Take the Emerald Lake turn off on the TransCanada highway just west of Field, BC. The falls are just beyond the beginning of the Emerald Lake road.
The Kicking Horse River has eroded the soft limestone of the Chancellor formation to create a natural bridge. The turquoise color of the river comes from the glacial silt suspended in its waters. This scene was shot using slow shutter speeds at large f-stop (small aperture) and a sturdy tripod with cable release. Caution: Don't fall in because there are no second chances! It is difficult to avoid large and frequent tour bus groups at such optimal time of year!
This scene shows the Kicking Horse River just before it plunges down under its natural bridge. Mt. Dennis is in the background.

Over the years, NHML has dealt with a number of industries and companies in the assistance of identifying contaminants, unknown materials and helping them better understand their products. We are able to confirm the identity of products and/or detect specific impurities within the products. In this months Nuts & Bolts supplement, FTIR Spectroscopy is discussed. A case study within the aerospace industry is also discussed.
An Outsider's Take on FTIR
By: Shannon Cicolini
When I first started working for New Hampshire Materials Lab, I had never heard of any materials testing method that we are capable of performing . Out of all our chemical testing abilities, I found FTIR spectroscopy to be the most interesting. Now what is FTIR spectroscopy you ask? Don't worry, I asked myself that same question. Here's what I've learned:
FTIR stands for Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and is the most widely used method of infrared spectroscopy. It is a specific technique of testing that is important in organic chemistry and can be used to confirm the identity of a pure compound or to detect the presence of specific impurities. This test can help our clients to be able to understand their materials and products. It is also useful for routine material verification's, identification of polymers and identification of contaminants. During the FTIR testing process, an infrared light is passed through a given sample. This sample has characteristic absorption frequencies throughout the infrared region. By passing the infrared light through the sample, an infrared spectrum is produced showing a series of peaks and valleys on an x and y-axis graph. This spectrum is what we call a chemical fingerprint. This fingerprint is then analyzed by our Senior Chemist, Jeff Masse, who then reports on his findings. (See figure 1 for a layout on the basic concept on how the FTIR testing method works).
FTIR is a fairly quick and simple test procedure that can provide an abundance of useful information for our customers. Throughout the years, NHML has helped many customers in a variety of industries with this method of analysis. I have picked the following example to share that I believe can not only help give you insight on our capabilities, but to also show you that FTIR can provide essential and useful information to our customers in solving their problems.
FTIR Case Study (Aerospace Industry)
Pins from an assembly were provided to NHML that contained an unknown contaminant. The customer has asked for us to identify the general chemistry "family" to which the contaminant belongs. The pins were first analyzed under an optical microscope at 40x magnification. One of the samples had a contaminant flake within a depression at the midpoint of the pin, whereas the other pin appeared to have a greenish brittle flaky substance on the surface just below the depression. These contaminant flakes were picked off of the pins with the small tip of an x acto knife and analyzed separately via FTIR producing the following 2 spectra:
The spectra show the contaminants from the two pins to be the same type of material. The series of absorption peaks in the spectra are characteristics of Ester and Alcohol functional groups.
In order to determine the elemental composition of this contaminant material, a small portion was sampled and analyzed by Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX). This produced the following spectrum:
The spectrum shows large peaks for Carbon and Oxygen as well as a small peak for Copper. This small quantity of copper explains the light greenish color of the flaky contaminant, which was also observable under the microscope. The EDX spectrum show the contaminant to be non-metallic in nature. It was also found to be nearly 100% organic with only a trace of copper detectable. Based upon the information the customer gave us, the only remaining contaminant suspect was an Adhesive Sealant. The MSDS for the sealant showed a major ingredient to be Polyglycol dimethacrylate, which is a reasonable match to the FTIR spectrum produced by the samples. A more exact comparison could be made between the Adhesive Sealant and the contaminant by analysis of a reference sample of the Adhesive Sealant by FTIR.
I have found that as time goes on and the more testing scenarios I see and learn about, I have realized that what we do as a company is truly fascinating and enlightening. I have never known that such a service is readily available and what really took me by surprise is how much we actually help people with their problems and questions. NHML's motto is to be "Your Problem Solving Partner" and from what I've seen that is exactly what we do. I am proud of the attentiveness and dedication our analytical staff provides for our customers as that's what business should be about these days. Whether it is a simple consulting question or an actual job, our staff makes themselves accessible as much as possible and works diligently to complete the project at hand.

Junior to Watch: Darryl Richard
School: Destrehan, La.
Position: Defensive Tackle
Article Continues Below
Size and speed: Richard is 6-foot-4, weighs 285 pounds, and runs the 40-yard dash in 4.9 seconds. He also boasts a 4.6 GPA (weighted in accelerated classes) and has scored a 28 on his ACT.
Statistics: As a junior, he recorded 65 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, seven sacks and three forced fumbles.
Honors: Was named all-state as a junior after earning all-district status as a sophomore.
Favorite Schools: LSU, Colorado, Stanford, Notre Dame, Florida State.
Skinny: Looking for one of the can't-miss prospects in the Class of 2004?
Try this on for size: a 6-foot-4, 285-pound defensive tackle with 4.9 speed and a GPA almost to match.
That's Destrehan (La.) standout Darryl Richard, who has five major scholarship offers and figures to have many more in the weeks to come.
"Darryl's the complete package," Destrehan coach Steve Robichaux said. "He's a big, strong, aggressive player with as good of physical skills as you're going to find at defensive tackle, but his best attribute is his head. He's an incredibly bright kid, a student of the game, a hard worker. His work ethic is off the charts. He's the type of kid you get into this business for. He's a joy to coach."
Richard has garnered early scholarship offers from LSU, Colorado, Vanderbilt, Tulane and Indiana. He's also receiving heavy interest from Notre Dame, Florida State and Stanford.
"And we're just getting word out about him," Robichaux said. "A lot of coaches are just now calling me for the first time."
Richard had 65 tackles, 11 tackles for loss and seven sacks as a junior in earning all-state honors. Robichaux said those figures are even more impressive when you consider the defensive system that Destrehan employs.
"We run a 50 read scheme where he's a 2-gap guy," he said. "Normally, those players don't make a lot of plays. They just tie up people and let the linebackers flow and make plays. Darryl's linebackers don't get to make as many. Those guys don't like him very much. (Laughs).
"He has great technique, and like I said, he's a student of the game. He watches a lot of film on opponents and understands the concepts of what they're trying to do and what we're trying to do. He also understands leverage and how to use his strength to his advantage. He's just a special young man."
Richard has visited LSU on occasion this month, recently taking in the Tigers' spring game.
"I know he was very impressed with them," Robichaux said.
As for favorites, however, it may be too early to say.
"He says he's going to take his visits and compare everything to the state schools," Robichaux said. "I can tell you this: academics will be a major factor."

That's a good question that came up after the series in my blog. Someone asked why should one use a Custom Control instead of a User Control? Hence, let's extend the series and discuss about that. I apologize for the of this post. I should have explained this at the start of the series, but actually my goal was to explain to you how to create and use a Custom Control in Silverlight. It is better to do it later than never. Also, you are now familiar with Custom Control creation. Hence, start describing it. You will come to know more about this here. As always, don't forget to share your feedback at the end of this page. Background If you came here through a search engine result, I will recommend you read my series of articles on Custom Controls after reading this post. That will help you to understand how to create a Custom Control in Silverlight. You can find the chapters here: 1. How to create a Custom Control in Silverlight 2. How to design a Custom Control by editing the Part Template 3. How to implement Template Binding in a Silverlight Custom Control 4. How to access Control Template partsCode Behind Let's start by describing the differences between a Custom Control and a User Control. What is a Custom Control? A custom control is a loosely coupled control defined in a class, which derivesControl. The UI of the custom control is generally defined in a Resource Dictionary inside the resource file. We can create themes for a custom control and reuse it in various projects very easily. Button, CheckBox, TextBox etc., even a UserControl is nothing but a Custom Control. You can easily load them inside a XAML page. A Custom Control generally inheritsthe System.Windows.Controls.Control class. You may derivea different custom control depending on your requirement. Custom Controls are compiled into a DLL assembly and can be reused in multiple places very easily. You have total control over the code, thus gives you more flexibility to extend the behaviour. Once you build and add a reference of the custom control in your project, you can find it in the toolbox. Thus, you will be able to drag and drop the control in your Design view and start working with it very easily. What is a User Control? The base "UserControl" is nothing but a Custom Control that you derive to create a control UI specific to your project. Generally, we create a UserControl which is placed inside a XAML page with tight bonding to the code behind. You can directly access its UI elementsthe code-behind and do some specific operations. A custom UserControl inheritsthe System.Windows.Controls.UserControls class, which inheritsthe base "Control" class. You can't create theming support for UserControls but can style them by creating themes for the child Custom Controls because they represent a collection of controls. Once you create a UserControl UI in one project, you can't change it in other projects. Difference between a CustomControl and a UserControl So now you have got the difference between a Custom Control and a User Control, I guess. Let's summarize the differences again. Read the comparison below to make things clear: Custom Control User Control A loosely coupled control w.r.t code and UI A tightly coupled control w.r.t code and UI DerivesControl DerivesUserControl Defines UI in a ResourceDictionary Defines UI as normal XAML UI is skinable Child controls are skinable Has dynamic layout Has static layout UI can be changed in different projects UI is fixed and can't have different looks in different project Has full toolbox support Can't be added to the toolbox Defines a single control Defines a set of controls More flexible Not very flexiblea Custom Control Requires in-depth knowledge of Silverlight UI Model Does not require indepth knowledge of the UI Model Hope you now have a better understandingthe above comparison table. When to use? Good question: "When to use a Custom Control?" Haven't you got the inner meaning of it yet? OK, read the summarized points below: • When you have a rapid and fixed content in your UI, use UserControl. • When you want to separate some basic functionality of your main view to some smaller pieces with reusability, use UserControl. • When you want to use your control in different projects and each project may want to change the look, use CustomControl. • When you want to implement some additional functionality for a control, create a CustomControl derivedthe base control. • When you want to apply themes to your controls, use CustomControl. • When you want to add toolbox support for your control, so that your user will be able to do drag and drop to the designer, use CustomControl. sagar ciber

RSDC wrapup
Visits (2108)
Last night was fun, between the pool party (complete with fireworks, tattoos, fortune tellers, and much more) and winning a bit in the casino (though blackjack was not so good, the craps table more than compensated; my thanks to Kristin, who despite being a beginner really knows how to throw the dice). It's been great to talk to attendees of all stripes, to learn what challenges they're facing. It's gratifying when we hear customers validating what we are doing, whether the "we" is devleoperWorks, Rational, or IBM. The suggestions and criticism may not always be easy to swallow, but it may be even more valuable insofar as helping us better serve your wants and needs. So please keep sharing your input, positive or not. I'm looking forward to spending more time outside of climate-controlled environments of conference halls and casinos. And right now I'm looking forward to sleep!
Hyperactive RSDC keynote: Thomas Dolby, sonfication, and song
Visits (2422)
Thomas Dolby did not disappoint this morning. In addition to sharing an entertaining revue of his career, comprised mostly of video clips (and btw a career in which he apparently fulfilled his dream: "Whereas ... geeks dream of being a pop star, I was a pop star dreaming of being a geek"), Dolby provided an impressive demo of sonification , the presentation of data using (non-speech) sound. Sonification has been used in medical and academic areas for years, but perhaps not quite in the same manner as Dolby, who in one case took data relating to the wave height of the Dec. 2004 tsunami and mapped it to sonic events. "I found that I could tune that wave height to a parameter in my synthesizer," Dolby explained. The underlying premise: Sometimes by applying music or sound to data, you can see a greater depth, or better understand events. (The same thing might be said of visual representation of data, such as featured in the " History Flow Visualization Application " tool shown by alphaWorks at the rationalconf2005 Solutions Center and on the aW Web site.) Not surprisingly, the mood in the auditorium was rather somber after the tsunami portion of the demo. The close of the session, however, was quite the opposite, as Dolby sang "Hyperactive!" accompanied by the acapella group Toxic Audio . Thanks to Roger Oberg and the others at IBM who arranged this sonic treat. Now I'm heading to the big "Beach Party" reception. I understand they have 33 lifeguards on hand to keep us... [More]
Highlights from Grady Booch keynote: innovation, cool stuff from the labs
Visits (3261)
At the keynote presentation this morning, IBM Fellow and leading Rational technologist Grady Booch emphasized the value and importance of innovation, which "occurs at the intersection of invention and insight," with invention being truly intentional and insight often being serendipitous. "You can create a climate that allows innovation to flourish," said Grady. "Be intentional about it." Next, as Roger Oberg describes , was fast-paced demo from Rational model-driven development specialist Grant Larsen . If I had a chance to get some coffee beforehand I might be able to add more details, but I think I'd better leave that to Grant, Roger and others. I can tell you, though, that at least one person in the audience (who came in from South America, and counts among his clients the second-largest bank in S.A.) nodded his head in approval, saying afterward, "I really liked the demo. Cool." Grady also noted that "we love demanding customers, we love to be pushed." I couldn't agree more. That's what developerWorks is all about: serving the demands (or what I call the "wants and needs") of customers and would-be customers -- the worldwide community of developers and technical professionals. It runs in the family... Grady then reviewed a bunch of cool innovations from IBM Research, including a Star Trek-like speech translator, "Veggie Vision" technology that eases checkout by automatically recognizing objects such as fruits and veggies, and a Linux Watch - "a great example of...

New IT Lifecycle Management resource (in case you missed it)
Visits (1969)
The keynote at the RSDC conf keynote this morning went well. I'm sure many other rationalconf2005 bloggers will cover various aspects of the comments from Mike Devlin, Danny Sabbah and others, as well as the impressive demo (about which industry analyst Amy Wohl already has commented ). Many announcements from today's keynote are detailed at the Rational software site . I want to make sure folks notice one particular highlight: During a brief review of IBM developer relations activities, ISV and Developer Relations GM Buell Duncan announced the new developerWorks IT Lifecycle Management resource page. The concept of lifecycle management and connecting businesses to development to build better software continues to get much attention here, with the idea that businesses (as well as software apps and the teams that build 'em) become more successful when companies can and do embrace business-driven software development. Check it out. (High-level managers may also want to see the Moving Beyond IT Optimization page.)
The best part...
Comment (1) Visits (2500)
Sunday at RSDC, my colleagues Michelle Ulrich and Lindsey Lurie and I introduced a group of about 50 folks to developerWorks. Actually, some already had used dW before, but the breadth and depth of dW is such that even folks who use it frequently are likely to learn of something new and useful to them. For me, though, the best part of the experience was hearing from developers and technical professionals about how they use dW, as well as hear their feedback and suggestions on how to better serve their wants and needs. Today we heard several people encourage us to again offer posters outlining the stages of the Rational Unified Process (RUP). Turns out we DO still offer these highly sought-after RUP posters, and you can get your very own . I'll have more opportunities to hear from customers and partners this week, both informally at receptions (such as this evening's, at the Shark Reef ) and during breaks (such as this afternoon, when I talked with some attendees about today's SDP sessions, the importance of use cases and of a holistic view that embraces business architectures, and much much more.) If you're at rationalconf2005 and are interested in learning more about developerWorks -- or want to share your questions and comments re: how to make the most of dW -- please consider joining us for: Birds-of-a-feature session, "IBM developerWorks: Rational Online Community Exchange" -- Tuesday, May 24, 7:45 - 8:45 pm, Mandalay Bay I "An introduction to IBM developerWorks" --...

New dW interview: Grady Booch talks to Mike Devlin, Danny Sabbah about the evolution of Rational
Visits (3469)
I'm about to head to the airport (heading to rationalconf2005 in Las Vegas, where I'll be blogging daily, helping with the show daily newsletter, and presenting at the conference). Before I leave, though, I wanted to spread the word about a just-published developerWorks interview involving three prominent leaders -- not only at Rational and IBM, but in the broader software development community. As Rational Software co-founder Mike Devlin prepares to retire and is handing the reins over to veteran IBM executive Danny Sabbah, Grady Booch interviews both. The result is an insightful discussion of how Rational has impacted software development, why Rational and IBM joined forces, and what the future holds for IBM Rational (which Grady aptly describes as "the software development brand at IBM Software Group"). My thanks to Mike Perrow, Editor-in-Chief of The Rational Edge , for pulling this together, as well as to Grady for asking insightful questions and to Mike and Danny for answering 'em. Check out the complete interviews on developerWorks.
dW honored in SD Times 100 AND <i>Software Development</i> magazine's Jolt awards
Comments (3) Visits (3641)
As I prepare to head to Las Vegas for IBM's biggest developer conference of the year ( rationalconf2005 ), I feel I, along with my colleagues at developerWorks and throughout IBM, can stand a bit taller this month. This week the developer publication SD Times has come out with their latest " SD Times 100 " -- a list of "movers and shakers," those few that "demonstrated the greatest amount of leadership." It honors the "organizations, individuals or movements that were talked about, those that created not only great technology but also great buzz." I'm happy to report that IBM developerWorks was named as one of only ten "influencers" and credited with embracing the developer community and raising the bar for everyone else. More broadly, IBM also was honored in nearly all categories. To wit: In Modeling, SD Times declared Rational "the yardstick everyone measures against. 'Atlantic' tied Rational's modeling tools to Eclipse 3.0 and to the rest of the IBM tool chain. Rose (now Rose XDE) remains the de facto standard modeler." Tools and Environments: "Agile delivery, big-picture plans drive Big Blue across the Atlantic." Embedded and Mobile: "Striding briskly into embedded technologies as it evolves ChipOS."

This was an interesting case on the relationship between the Professional Qualification Directive and the Lawyers Directive
The European Professional Qualification Directive (Directive 89/48) established a general system for the recognition of higher-education diplomas awarded on completion of professional education and training of at least three years' duration. Directive 98/5, generally known as the Lawyers Directive, provides a comprehensive framework for attorneys wishing to practice in an EU Member State other than the one in which they were formally trained.
The reference had been made in the course of proceedings between Mr Ebert, a German national and lawyer registered as a "Rechtsanwalt" at the Düsseldorf Bar (Germany), and the Budapesti Ügyvédi Kamara (Budapest Bar Association, Hungary) as to the right claims by Mr Ebert to use the title "ügyvéd" (lawyer in Hungary) without being a member of the Bar Association.
The national court asked first of all whether Directive 98/5 excluded the application of Directive 89/48, as the detailed rules laid down in Art. 10(1) and (3) of Directive 98/5 were the only means for lawyers from other Member States to gain access to the title of lawyer of a host Member State, or whether the two directives complement one another by establishing, for lawyers from Member States, two ways to gain admission to the profession of lawyer in a host Member State under the professional title of the latter State.
The Court held Directive 98/5 did not deprive a lawyer, in particular where he had not yet effectively and regularly pursued a professional activity for a period of at least three years in the host Member State, of the possibility of applying to take up the profession of lawyer under the title of that Member State by relying on Directive 89/48.
The holder of a "diploma', within the meaning of Art. 1(a) of Directive 89/48, such as Mr Ebert, enjoyed, in accordance with Art. 3, first paragraph, subparagraph (a) thereof, access to the regulated profession of lawyer in the host Member State. The Court however held that, since the profession was one whose practice required a precise knowledge of national law and an essential and constant element of which was the provision of advice and/or assistance concerning national law, Art. 3 of Directive 89/48 as amended did not prevent the host Member State from requiring, pursuant to Art. 4(1)(b) thereof, that the applicant take an aptitude test, provided that that Member State first verified whether the knowledge acquired by the applicant in the course of his professional experience was capable of covering, in whole or in part, the substantial difference referred to in the first subparagraph of that latter provision (see Case C‑118/09 Koller [2010]).
It followed that a lawyer from a Member State might gain admission to the profession of lawyer, in a host Member State where that profession was regulated, and practise under the professional title awarded by it, either under Directive 89/48 or Art. 10(1) and (3) of Directive 98/5.
Therefore, the Court found that Directives 89/48 and 98/5 complemented one another by establishing, for lawyers from Member States, two means for gaining admission to the profession of lawyer in a host Member State under the professional title of that State.
Furthermore, the national court asked, in essence, whether Directives 89/48 and 98/5 precluded national rules laying down the requirement to be a member of a body such as a Bar Association in order to practise the profession of lawyer under the title of lawyer of the host Member State.
The Court reiterated that even lawyers practising under their home-country professional title in a host Member State were subject to the same rules of professional conduct as lawyers practising under the professional title of that State (see, to that effect, Case C-225/09 Jakubowska [2010]).
The Court held that neither Directive 89/48 nor Directive 98/5 precluded the application, to any person practising the profession of lawyer in a Member State, particularly as regards the taking up or pursuit thereof, of national provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action justified by the general good, such as rules relating to organisation, qualifications, professional ethics, supervision and liability.
It was for the national court to ascertain whether the Budapesti Ügyvédi Kamara had applied those rules in accordance with the rules of European Union law and, in particular, the principle of non-discrimination (see, to that effect, Case C-19/92 Kraus [1993]; Case C-564/07 Commission v Austria [2009]).
The Court therefore held that neither Directive 89/48 nor Directive 98/5 precluded national rules laying down the requirement to be a member of a body such as a Bar Association in order to practise the profession of lawyer under the title of lawyer of the host Member State.

Oak Grove School students attended the second annual Regional Green Schools Sustainability Conference. This event helped to build community ties around our efforts to be increasingly environmentally friendly. We listened to speakers who had been researching issues of plastic pollution, solar panel implementation and urban forestry. One of the small ways that our school is greening its campus is to use non-toxic supplies in the classroom. This short presentation was made to highlight some of the benefits of refillable whiteboard markers.

Alternative tests of rational expectations models : The case of the term structure
A linearized version of the rational expectations models of the term structure is put forth in terms of a complete vector of equally spaced observations along the yield curve. A data series on intermediate maturity yields which meets the specifications of the model is presented. The model is tested against a specific and easily interpreted alternative. Earlier studies of rational expectations models, which used "volatility tests" or "likelihood ratio tests," are discussed.
