Issues with stores , 1.2.2 build 48 , mac osx lion
Hi I have some issues. I "fixed" some of them, but I think they are still issues.
First, some specs
Hardware : Macbookpro , Max OSX Lion
Software : Ext Designer 1.2.2 build 48 . ExtJS 3.1
1) Errors export Designer 1.2.2 build 48 osx
I've already sumitted this issue :
Lukly I already "fixed" this.
The problem ocures when you have a component with a store (for example dataview) , promoted to class. You have probably set the store in the class and the initiated object set empty.
With 1.1.2 the instance extended the promoted class, so the store was set. But with 1.2.2 the instance doesn't "extend" the class, so the instance has a property "store" set empty , resulting a error a component is missing a store.
The "fix" is setting the store in the instance. So now I managed to export the project.
2) Store undefined after export
So I "fixed" issue 1. But now, when I start my application. I get errors like "store undefined". When I console.log the component and retrieve the store property, the property was emtpy.
But I also "fixed" that by rebinding the store to the component with the .bindStore() function.
3) Combobox not working
So now I have a combobox. I also get the same store issue so I "fixed" it by rebinding the store to the combobox. That worked. BUT .. When I set the value , the combobox doesn't show the displayField , but just the value I just set.
Fox example I have
display = "my test"
value = "yes"
I set the combobox value to "yes" , it should display "my test" in the combobox , but it shows "yes". When I trigger the combobox by clicking the comboxbox, it makes the request to the server , get the json response and updates the combobox and then it shows the displayField.
I tried to load the store before the component is rendered, but no luck
4) No Ext.reg
I wondered why this all fails with the stores. Lucky for my I have a 1.1.2 version wich still works , so I compared the javascript. I noticed that with 1.2.2 , the javascript export for the store was different.
To illustrate:
/* 1.2.2 build 48 Mac osx lion */ test = Ext.extend(Ext.data.JsonStore, { constructor: function(cfg) { cfg = cfg || {}; test.superclass.constructor.call(this, Ext.apply({ storeId: 'test' }, cfg)); } });Code:
/* 1.1.2*/ test = Ext.extend(Ext.data.JsonStore, { constructor: function(cfg) { cfg = cfg || {}; test.superclass.constructor.call(this, Ext.apply({ storeId: 'test' }, cfg)); } }); Ext.reg('test', test);new test();
5) Designer 2 beta can't load my xds
Just like the title says .. I downloaded the Sencha Designer 2 beta and tried to open my 1.2.2 xds. But I get
TypeError : 'undefined'is not an object
I hope that I've helped others with this and the fantastic team of Sencha Designer
6 Feb 2012 1:29 PM #2
1) Ok.
2) If you can provide a sample application we could look into this further
3) You are correct in assuming that the store needs to be loaded before the value is set. This will fix this problem.
4) Is the userXType set?
5) We have a bug filed for this DSGNR-1284. This occurs when double clicking on a project that is an unsupported framework type. If you start Designer 2.0 and click on a framework (Ext 4.x or Touch 2.x) and then try to open the project you will see a message along the lines of "This project is targeting an unsupported framework (ext3.x)"Aaron Conran
7 Feb 2012 2:27 AM #3
Ok .. did some tests (yozeff is also my account).
1) First I created a project in 1.1.2 (see attachment 1.1.2.zip)
This works
2) Then I opened the xds in designer 1.2.2 build 48 (attachment 1.1.2_cannot_export.zip). It converted my xds , but I cannot export
3) The new converted xds, I set the store in the instance and export the project (attachment 1.2.2-converted-from-1.1.2.zip)
4) Now I can export, but I cannot intiate the combobox (attachment 1.2.2-converted-from-1.1.2-stores-fix.zip). So I added a js to initiate the store BEFORE the application is started (see index.html)
Ext.reg('myStore', myStore);new myStore();
5) Now try import the xds from step 4 into Sencha Designer 2.
Hopes this helps
7 Feb 2012 8:37 AM #4
Are you able to use Ext 4.x?
Can you try to see if you have the same problems in Designer 2 starting with Ext 4.x?Aaron Conran
7 Feb 2012 8:44 AM #5
At this moment we (my company) cannot use Ext 4.x. Our framework/applications is build on Ext 3.x.
Ext 4.x is still on our roadmap but needs reseach and development.
But now, we cannot use 1.2.2 (to prepare us better for the transition to Ext 4), because of the store problem. So now we are sticking with 1.1.2
I hope Sencha will make a new build for 1.2.2 to fix the store problem
21 Feb 2012 3:10 AM #6
Any word about this issue? Because now, we cannot use 1.2.2. We really want to udate from 1.1.2 to 1.2.2 , but this stores issue is a major issue.

Recent literature concerning antipyretics and analgesics has brought to the notice of the profession several new drugs, among which apolysin seems to occupy a prominent place. Through the courtesy of a new York drug firm that kindly furnished me with a considerable amount of the new medicament, I have been enabled to conduct a series of experiments in the physiologic laboratory of the University of Texas, at Galveston, the results of which I shall endeavor to embody in this brief report.
Apolysin is a substance closely related to phenacetin. Like the latter drug apolysin contains paraphenetidin. In phenacetin, however, the paraphenetidin of the amide group (NH2) one atom of hydrogen is replaced by an acetic acid radical; while in apolysin the atom of hydrogen of the paraphenetidin of the amide group is substituted by a citric acid radical. It may be said in this connection, that a combination of

The Golden Bears are sixth on the team standings at the par-70 course after scoring a 296 (+16) in the first of four rounds. Leading the way for the Golden Bears is senior Nicola Rössler – the only person on the California roster with NCAA Championship experience – who sits eighth individually after carding an even 70 Tuesday. Oklahoma leads the field with a 288 (+8) with UCLA (291, +11), Duke (293, +13), USC (293, +13) and Arizona State (293, +13) rounding out the top five. Seven Pac-12 teams are in the top 10 of the 24-team field. "Today was solid," California head coach Nancy McDaniel said. "It was pretty windy – probably 30 miles an hour – hence the high scores. That 70 from Nico was notable, and a 73 and 74 from Hannah (Suh) and Carly (Childs) were really solid. The harder side was the front nine, and we played the front nine second today, so it was great that they hung in there as it got tougher. I feel like their navigating skills on this course and in the wind was a big part of it." Rössler, who began her day on the 10th hole, carded her 70 Tuesday by hitting birdies on the par-4 5th and the par-4 13th along with consecutive bogeys on the 18th and 1st holes . Rössler had her eighth round this season of par or better and first since hitting an even 72 in the opening round of the Pac-12 Championships earlier this month. "Actually it was really fun," Rössler said of playing in the windy conditions Tuesday. "We had regionals last week at Oklahoma State and it was super windy there, so it wasn't the first time for us playing in the wind. I think that's why it made it a little bit easier (for us). But, it was really tough. You had to make smart decisions, think about where you wanted your miss to be and just stay focused on every shot." Sophomore Hannah Suh is 22nd with a 73 (+3) in her first appearance at the national championship while classmate Carly Childs is tied for 28th at 74 (+4). Suh hit two birdies on the day and sat just 1-over through 14 holes before bogeys on the par-3 6th and 9th. Childs hit for par on 14 of 18 holes on the day to continue the consistent play she has exhibited this spring. Another pair of nationals newcomers in freshman Lucia Gutierrez and junior Jo Ee Kok scored a 79 and 82, respectively. Like Suh, Gutierrez also began the day with a birdie on the 10th hole and added another on the par-5 16th. She finished 9-over due to a trio of par-4 double-bogeys, moving her from a potential 73 to 79. "We're really proud of these guys for their effort today and staying in it," McDaniel said. "They're excited to get back out there and make up for some of the things they left out. I know Lucia and Jo Ee are feeling that way and want to brush off a few strokes, which I know they can. The others are just playing well. We can get another solid day in." California tees off beginning at 8:25 a.m. (CT) in Wednesday's second round on the first hole. The Bears will be paired with NC State and Oklahoma. "It's nice that we had a solid round today," McDaniel said. "It's a long week and it's something to build on going into tomorrow. It's also nice that we played the afternoon and are going right back out after not even 12 hours. We don't have time to think and we're playing well. We just have to keep the smart playing going, and they'll be in shape." COURSE: Tulsa Country Club (6,194 yards, par-70) – Tulsa, Okla. CAL LINEUPT8. Nicola Rössler – 70 (E)T22.

News and resources, Jan 24th
Posted on 24, Jan, 2012 by Oliver Hofmann in Resources
Quick update before the end of the month:
The long-awaited paper from Eric Lander on missing heritability has been published and is causing a new round of discussions, following the initial debate after the ASHG announcement. Luke has a short summary over at Genomes Unzipped, and Steve Hsu delves into the supplementary material. A good addition to this is Genetic Inference's report on the current state of complex trait sequencing via ICHG2011.
BGI has started to move the sequence analysis to GPU-based servers, though the article in Wired is unfortunately light on details what algorithms ended up getting ported to the different architecture.
IonTorrent meanwhile starts supporting paired-end reads, sort of, and announces a new machine which is a bit of a disappointment as one of their main selling arguments was that improvements would happen through the chips, not the hardware around it. Be that as it may, we are getting close to the $1000 genome — for the data generation, which doesn't take the very time consuming data analysis into account. This is also reflected in my favorite quote of Elaine Mardis' interview with The Scientist:
"It makes me crazy to listen to people say sequencing is so cheap. Sure, generating data is cheap. But then what do you do with it? That's where it gets expensive. 'The $1,000 genome' is just this throwaway phrase people use and I don't think they stop to think about what's involved. When we looked back after we analyzed the first tumor/normal pair, published in Nature in 2008, we figured that genome—not just generating the data, but coming up with the analytical approach, which nobody had ever done before—probably cost $1.6M. If the cost of analysis doesn't fall over time, we're never going to get to clinical reality for a lot of these tests."
This is not going to get any easier as the sequencers get more and more efficient; see Illumina's announcement of the HiSeq 2500 (summary by OmicsOmics and on the SeqAnswers forum). And though the price of the reagents keeps decreasing it's still cheaper to store the data than to re-sequence the samples, storage problems notwithstanding.

Weekly snippets, holiday edition
Posted on 08, Jan, 2012 by Oliver Hofmann in Resources
Back in the office after the holidays and quite some catching up to do.
Growth in genomics
Coverage of computational biology and genomics in the general media continues to increase. This time the Economist covers bioinformatics and the New York Times has an article on computational biology and cancer. And while public funding for some of the current genome centers is cut by as much as 20 percent new centers in New York and Connecticut are hoping to benefit from the increase in demand.
Clinical grade sequencing
Some of this demand is driven by a general trend towards clinical sequencing which is benefiting the Broad and other centers. Given the inroads made to identify causal mutations (nicely summarized by MassGenomics for disorders and cancers) in 2011 this is perhaps not surprising, and even clinical trials for personal genome sequencing are kicking off.
While the technology is making rapid progress we still have to deal with a large number of problems, among them the handling of genomics and privacy
, how to make sense of the results in the first place — something that new initiatives like openSNP are trying to address — and the discrepancies caused by differences in sequencing technologies and data processing. We will need a public assessment or competition of workflows and methods, similar to what the Assemblathon and GAGE have been doing for genome assembly approaches.
Resources and discussions
- Neil Saunders has started a lovely series on next-generation sequencing NGS for those familiar with good old Sanger
- A renewed discussion about public access to research funded by tax payers
- More thoughts on hypothesis vs data driven science, and also from Daily Life ruminations on data intensive science and workflows
- If you are new to the field of metagenomics this review is a great starting point
- New tool for quality control in RNA-seq: RNA-SeQC and an alternative workflow
- Two additional papers listing biases in RNA-seq introduced by barcoding
- OmicsOmics provides a comparison of IonTorrent and MiSEQ
- Our own Brad Chapman provides a summary of BioCloudCentral, a simple way to get started with a sequence analysis using Galaxy and CloudMan
- Speaking of which, CloudMan gets an update
- James Taylor wrote up a Galaxy tutorial for ChIP-seq analysis
- SomaticSniper has been released, hopefully the first of many tools made available by WashU
See you in a week or two!

In Washington today, the U.S. Supreme Court hears a case that could affect how you watch TV and where.
Right now, to watch the major networks you either have to catch it live, or record it on a DVR, often rented from a cable or satellite provider.
Now there's Aereo.: "This is piracy. You're picking up copyrighted content that somebody else spent a lot of money to develop," says John Hane, Communications Law.
Broadcasters agree, and they want the Supreme Court to decide.
But Aereo argues they're not stealing programming - they're just renting thousands of tiny antennas to consumers,
Who decide for themselves when, where, and what to watch. "And if they can pull the service down, which is so carefully designed to be legal, you'll have a spate of lawsuits about any cloud storage of any content," said Mark Cooper, Consumer Federation of America
It's a case about money, too.
Broadcasters charge cable and satellite providers big bucks to rebroadcast programs.
Aereo pays nothing - and charges consumers as little as eight dollars a month.
The court is expected to issue a ruling in June.

A woman who ran from law enforcement across Interstate 5 early Tuesday morning was not injured when she was struck by a vehicle, according to the Clark County Sheriff's Office.
The incident started about 4:40 a.m., when deputies spotted the woman, later identified as Sarah K. Christiansen, 25, riding a bike in the 7200 block of Northeast Highway 99 without any reflective gear, Sgt. Fred Neiman said.
Concerned for the woman's safety and other vehicular traffic, Neiman said the deputy turned on his lights to stop her.
Christiansen took off and the deputy lost her when she ducked into the Taco Bell parking lot. Neiman said that Christiansen apparently dropped the bike and jumped a concrete barrier. She then ran across the northbound and southbound lanes of Interstate 5 before being struck by a vehicle traveling south, he said.
"She got back up, and then ran eastbound again back across the northbound lanes," Neiman said.
Deputies finally caught up with Christiansen at the AAMCO parking lot, where they detained her.
She was not injured and refused medical treatment, Neiman said. Christiansen, who had no listed address, had a Department of Corrections warrant out for her arrest, Neiman said. She was booked into the jail on the warrant and for suspicion of failing to stop and give information to police.

President Obama has won re-election by winning Ohio and Colorado. The fight is not over for conservatives, however. Republicans will retain the House of Representatives, and strong conservatives are in powerful fights to win.
If good conservatives get sent to Washington today, they will provide powerful counterweights to President Obama in the years ahead..
Republicans have the opportunity to shake Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's confidence and send a message that these far-left liberals are not safe today, and two years from now when there is an opportunity for Americans to right a very grave wrong to this country - the survival as a free and prosperous nation we cherish.

Analogues of the Artin factorization formula for the automorphic scattering matrix and Selberg zeta-function associated to a Kleinian group
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: For Kleinian groups acting on a hyperbolic three-space, we prove factorization formulas for both the Selberg zeta-function and the automorphic scattering matrix. We extend results of Venkov and Zograf from Fuchsian groups to Kleinian groups, and we give a proof that is simple and extendable to more general groups.

Jul 2007 - $18.00
We decided to leave the trailer at home and go for a weekend of tent camping and canoeing on the Current River. Our original destination was Pulltite Campground, but it was full, so we ended up here. I'm so glad we did. We have actually camped twice this month at Round Springs. We did see some pop-ups backed into the primitive sites, but there is not a whole lot of room for anything else (as mentioned in a previous post). The only negative that I have is the shower room, it was impossible to shower without getting everything soaked. I ended up taking a waterproof bag with everything in it, and my kids and I had to do some creative maneuvering to keep everything dry. This was a very minor inconvenience for me , and we do plan to return. - rn2icu
May 2007 - $20.00
I practically grew up in this campground. When I was a teen, we tent camped here at least twice a summer, and sometimes many more. The tent sites are mostly shady. The terrain is very hilly so finding level tent sites can be a challenge. But tent camping is not what I wanted to review. I camped in one of the brand new electrical sites in the campground. The sites were fairly large, and mostly level. Pretty easy access for parking as far as I am concerned. One IMPORTANT thing, you HAVE to put something under your support legs or jack supports. The asphalt is soft and you will sink in the Missouri sunshine! I had nylon pads under my front supports and even they sunk in the sunshine! The sites didn't have as much room as many of the camps that I have camped at. The ARE 50 amp service which was problematic for me because I didn't have the 50 to 30 conversion pigtail. Luckily the park ranger lent me one with relatively little hassle at all. There was water at the site, no sewer however. Clean out can be tricky with larger rigs. Can be challenging to get close enough to the dump station. - Stlheadake
Aug 2006 - $14.00
NOTE: THIS PARK DOES NOT HAVE 30 AMP ELECTRIC SERVICE, though it does have 50 amp and 20 amp service. The national park service recently built six new RV sites near the middle of this park (sites 51 - 56). These sites are asphalt and right next to each other. All six sites have water, a 50A plug, and a 20A plug - but NO 30A plug. The park host mentioned that he had a couple of 50A to 30A adapters, which does bypass any protection that one would get from running too many items at once. There is space in the box for a 30A plug, but the host did not know if there were plans to install any. Our landing gear sank about one-half inch in the asphalt during our stay. Other than these minor issues, the park is very nice. It is located adjacent to the upper Current River and Round Spring. There is a great place to swim and play in the water. There are several places nearby to rent a tube or canoe and play in the crystal clear river, which goes through the park. The showers were not very clean. Note that the web site shows many other sites. These other sites have no hook-ups and most are NOT suitable for an RV as they are nothing more than a pull-off to park a car. Therefore, I only listed the RV suitable sites. - tundracamper

This morning we got geared up for our second day in Universal Studio's Wizarding World of Harry Potter. This was the morning we would get to have a traditional English breakfast at the Three Broomsticks Restaurant. My family was all equally excited to actually go to the Three Broomsticks and eat what I ate every morning in the Great Hall, on smaller proportions of course. We were all talking about what animals we would choose if we went to Hogwarts; I decided I would have a Pygmy Puff, and my brothers decided they wanted owls. It was my sister who went against the crowd though; she said she wanted the largest owl of them all. I can see it. All the students are sitting down for lunch in the Great Hall when the owls start flying in with ever…Read more >
This morning, we woke-up at seven a.m. so we could get on the ferry boat to go to the park early. We were able to get into the park an hour before the general public and we immediately headed towards The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! When we were walking, we were swiveling our heads as fast as we could so that we could see as much as we could. Suddenly, I saw it. HOGWARTS!!! The spirals of the Gryffindor Tower were in clear view! The Ravenclaw Tower with the observatory was there too! Even though I see those towers every day (because I'm a Hogwarts student...), it was so stunning. I began jumping up and down yelling, "Hogwarts Hogwarts Hoggy Warty Hogwarts, Teach Us Something Please!!!" I was so excited I couldn't contain it anymore!!! …Read more >

Jermaine Dupri is reportedly Mariah Carey's new manager.
Dupri addressed his plans for the singer in a statement.
"A multi-talented artist of Mariah's caliber should be doing everything imaginable," Dupri said in a press release. "I'm sure others have said this but not the way I intend to do it. For me, it's about the execution."
Mariah Carey, who was previously managed by Randy Jackson, also released a statement regarding her relationship with Dupri.
"We have a bond that surpasses music," Carrey said in a press release. "I am super excited about our merger because we have so many innovative ideas that I know will come to fruition."
Carey's upcoming album, The Art of Letting Go, has no release date. Carey has been in the studio with several artists of late, reportedly working on this album. Nas, Mike WiLL Made It and Hit-Boy are among those artists and potential guests for the release.
The Art of Letting Go is slated to be the singer's thirteenth studio album.
"#Beautiful" was released, reportedly off this collection, and the song reached #4 in Billboard's R&B/Hip Hop chart.
Carey has released several projects, including her 1990 self-titled debut and 2009's Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel. Dupri has collaborated with Carey on several songs including "It's Like That," "Shake It Off" and "We Belong Together," off her 2005 album, The Emancipation of Mimi.
Dupri was also on hand for 2012's BMI Urban Awards, where Carey was named BMI Icon. Dupri deejayed at the event and performed in honor of Carey.
(October 8, 2013)
UPDATE: Jermaine Dupri is no longer managing Mariah Carey, according to Billboard.
Jermaine Dupri spoke about this in a statement to the site.
"I'm a very hands-on person when it comes to my work," Dupri said. "I put my all into every project. But when I'm not allowed to do what I do, then I know it's time for me to move on. Mariah and I enjoy working together and will continue to make great music together in the future."

|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
Serbia and Montenegro1 (Tier 2)
Serbia and Montenegro is a transit country and, to a lesser extent, a source and destination country, for women and girls trafficked for sexual exploitation. Victims, mostly from Moldova, Romania, Ukraine, and Bulgaria, end up in Kosovo, Bosnia, Albania, and Western Europe. Roma children are trafficked through Serbia and Montenegro for begging and theft in Western Europe.
The Government of Serbia and Montenegro does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it is making significant efforts to do so. In the past year, the federal and republic governments increased their capacity to protect victims and to cooperate with NGOs, but lack of proper treatment of victims in court, low court convictions, and potential government complicity are still serious weaknesses in the government's ability to meet the minimum standards.
Through their anti-trafficking task forces, both republics continued local prevention coordination mechanisms with NGOs. The Republic of Montenegro institutionalized the government anti-trafficking coordinator position and established three local offices to coordinate its preventive activities. The National Project Board in Montenegro organized awareness campaigns, including television spots donated by government stations. Access to government schools and other public facilities was provided for awareness campaigns.
The Serbian Parliament passed anti-trafficking amendments to the criminal code in the spring of 2003. Before the amendments, trafficking crimes were pursued under related laws. In the past year, Serbian police arrested 104 individuals for trafficking-related crimes and all cases advanced to pre-trial investigation or court proceedings. The Montenegrin Parliament passed a republic-wide anti-trafficking law used to prosecute 22 suspects for human trafficking and 14 individuals for facilitating prostitution. The majority are in court proceedings, four are in pre-trial investigation, 12 were dismissed and three individuals were convicted and sentenced to one-two years' imprisonment. Despite enhanced law enforcement capacity, court adjudication generally was weak. In several instances, courts dismissed cases for lack of evidence or allowed confusing and degrading testimony in trial. Police forces in both republics have anti-trafficking units that receive specialized training, and the border police and police academy in Serbia have anti-trafficking training as well. A notable case in the Republic of Montenegro against a public official included allegations of government complicity2. Police placed the government suspect in detention and the case is currently in pre-trial investigative procedure.
In the absence of an institutionalized system of victim protection, federal and republic governments signed memoranda of understanding with victim services organizations to ensure protection and assistance for victims. Some police were trained to identify victims as defined in the United Nations Anti-Trafficking Protocol and to make referrals to NGOs for assistance. Both republics have victim shelters and in Serbia, the Ministry of Social Services provides the premises for a national counseling center. Police receive ongoing training and awareness to decrease detention and deportation of victims. Victims do not have the right to temporary residency, but may stay in the trafficking shelter for 30 days. They are obligated to stay as long as necessary if they are assisting in criminal proceedings. The government signed the Stability Pact Ministerial agreement on shelter and residency for victims, and the Ministerial agreement between Stability Pact countries to exchange trafficking information. Victims may file civil suits and seek compensation, but foreign victims have no right to work and there is no victim compensation fund. In the notable Montenegrin case mentioned above, the victim in question was referred to the shelter and, although she was subject to intense publicity and prolonged questioning, her treatment during the pretrial investigation appeared to proceed according to international standards and she was eventually resettled in a third country. Cooperation between the republic government's anti-trafficking coordinator and some NGOs serving on the National Project Board declined after the coordinator admitted to being a close friend of one of the four suspects in the case.
Kosovo, while technically a part of Serbia and Montenegro, is currently administered under the authority of the United Nations Interim Administration in Kosovo (UNMIK) pending a determination of its future status in accordance with United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1244. Since the adoption of UNSCR 1244 in June 1999, UNMIK has provided transitional administration for Kosovo including in the area of rule of law, UNMIK is aware of the serious trafficking problem in Kosovo and conducts anti-trafficking efforts. The Special Representative of the UN Secretary General promulgated a trafficking regulation with the force of law in 2001, and a specialized anti-trafficking police unit made up of UN police and Kosovo Police Service officers actively enforces the regulation.
1 On February 4, 2003, the Yugoslav parliament adopted the Constitutional Charter and Implementation Law, marking the end of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the beginning of the state union of Serbia and Montenegro. Since June 1999, Kosovo has been administered under the authority of the United Nations Interim Administration in Kosovo (UNMIK).
2 The Minister of Interior, after backing the arrest and investigation of the deputy public prosecutor and three other suspects on suspicion of trafficking and facilitating prosecution, was not included in the Prime Minister's new government – a move widely interpreted as a virtual dismissal.

Dance War: Yee-haw! Tony Rides off into the Sunset on Country Week
February 04, 2008 09:38 PM by Jennifer_Brown
Still reeling from the loss of Charity on last week's episode of Dance War, Bruno is hoping that tonight's country theme will be a gimmee for Team Bruno, which boasts three out of five members who hail from the South. Plus, it's Zack's birthday today, so what could go wrong?
Yet Carrie Ann is riding high on last week's win. We get a backstage pass into Team Carrie Ann's celebration, which includes a lot of hootin' and hollerin', not to mention a good old fashioned mechanical bull ride to kick off Country Week.
But has the win gone to the team's head? Rehearsals this week are lackadaisical, and the performers seem to have a hard time focusing. On top of that, it looks like we've got a budding romance on our hands, between Qis and Mariel. Carrie Ann has her eyes on the big prize, though, and calls the team out on the carpet, forcing them to focus and leave the goo-goo eyes off the dance floor.
It seems to work. Team Carrie Ann comes out strong, with an iconic performance of The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Okay, not too taxing vocal-wise, but who cares? They've got Qis up front in a pair of leather pants and a suede vest with no shirt on underneath (hoo-doggies, I could look at that all day long!). It's a super-strong performance; Carrie Ann says Qis stands out, but Mariel still looks too small. Bruno says that Chris was not on top form tonight, and that he always looks like he's "chasing the choreography."
So what can Team Bruno do? Down one member, and Bruno feeling responsible for the loss, the team is hurting. But they're strong on country in this group, so they should be naturals at this, right? They come out with Life is a Highway, dedicated to eliminated performer Charity, with Phillip up front playing the guitar. It's an energetic performance, but not particularly strong on dance, which is a shame because the vocals really weren't there either. Ever-loyal Bruno, however, believes that Phillip has grown as a performer and this routine showed him off. Carrie Ann thought the "performance was fantastic," but the vocals weren't so hot.
Before we move on to the second performances of the night, we get two special treats. First, we meet sexy Londoner, Matt Grant, otherwise known as this season's Bachelor. Matt calls the decision-making on the Bachelor "ridiculously hard," but is tight-lipped about details, only to promise that the new season will have "25 smokin' women!" Our second treat is a performance by country star Taylor Swift, who sings her hit Our Song, and gives some pats on the backs of tonight's performers.
Team Carrie Ann delivers a "contemporary spin" on country music in the second performance, with Big Black Horse and a Cherry Tree. Elizabeth steals the show with her sexy song and dance (but don't think I didn't notice Qis bare-chested under his suit coat,yee-haw!!!). Carrie Ann thinks the team nailed it, but Bruno wants to know where the dancing was. He calls the performance a fashion show and thinks the team took the easy way out.
And then Team Bruno blows us away with a hot rendition of These Boots are Made for Walkin', with Kelsey on lead in her little daisy dukes and all sorts of attitude. The vocals are, again, just okay, but the dancing is spot on, especially when they "walk it out" halfway through the song. Bruno calls Kelsey the "surprise of the night," but Carrie Ann feels they stole "walk it out" from Team Carrie Ann's last week's performance.
It's time to reveal the results of last week's votes. The winner,again,is Team Carrie Ann. Bruno looks even more shocked this week than last, and calls the decision "shocking," "unacceptable," and "ridiculous." "It's the unfairest night in television history," he complains (while, at home, English teachers everywhere call it the "unfairest" use of a non-word such as "unfairest" in television history). Bruno keeps Kelsey, Phillip, and Lacey, forcing Tony and Zack to battle it out. After the one-on-one battle, he chooses to keep Zack (happy birthday, Zack! Bruno got you a second chance!).
There are no tears in Tony's eyes, as he graciously thanks Bruno for everything he's taught him and vows that this will be a "stepping stone" in his career.

Globe Trot: Confirming chemical weapons in Syria
U.S. and British defense analysts confirm that chemical weapons were used in an attack near Aleppo, Syria, in March. Extensive blood tests prove the victims endured likely sarin gas attacks.
The White House has long promised that use of chemical weapons would constitute "a red line" implying military action. It acknowledged that the line had been crossed but hedged in a letter to Congress: "The chain of custody is not clear, so we cannot confirm how the exposure occurred and under what conditions," while admitting, "any use of chemical weapons in Syria would very likely have originated with the Assad regime."
A radical Muslim friend may have influenced alleged Boston Marathon bombers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Tamerlan described the Bible as a "cheap copy" of the Quran, used to justify wars with other countries. "He had nothing against the American people," a friend said. "He had something against the American government."
Venezuela's new president ordered the arrest of a 35-year-old filmmaker from Los Angeles he says is responsible for the unrest that's followed his contested April 14 election. President Nicolas Maduro accused Timothy Tracy of financing and fomenting violence with a film about the country's political divide.
I'm working on—an inside look at the Syrian rebel opposition and what it means for the country's nearly 3 million Christians. And attending a panel on continuing violence against Christians in Nigeria at the Family Research Council today sponsored by Jubilee Campaign in Washington—following recent attacks and a faulty assessment of the dangers issued this month by the U.S. State Department.

Due to a substantial increase in the number of senior citizens applying for home health care since the management of the seniors program changed hands, Belmont County commissioners are expanding the program and are seeking to employ agencies to provide the service.
Since Oct. 1 when the commission took over operation of the seniors program, four home health care agencies - Advanced Home Health, Inc.; Helping Hands and Warm Hearts, LLC; Interim HealthCare Inc.; and/or Medical Services of America, Inc. doing business as Medi Home Private Care - have been providing the services under contracts that do not exceed $25,000.
In a resolution adopted in January, the commission noted that "the requests for services have increased more than expected in recent months and under one or more of the existing contracts will exceed $25,000" before the personal care contracts expire and bids are sought for new contracts.
So the commissioners declared "a real and present emergency" so that it could approve a $15,000 extension of the contracts not to exceed $40,000 to Feb. 29. "We did this because we did not want to deprive the senior citizens of personal care services," commission president Chuck Probst declared.
Under Ohio code the commissioners are not permitted to spend in excess of $25,000 without seeking bids. However there is a section of the code that exempts the commission from competitive bidding when a situation arises that is determined to be a real and present danger. "This was an emergency situation because the senior citizens would have suffered if the home care services they had been receiving were suddenly stopped," Probst pointed out.
He added that steps were immediately taken to prevent such a situation in the future. For the past two weeks the commissioners have been seeking bids from companies or organizations interested in providing homemaker and personal care services to the county's senior citizens. Under the bid document the county is seeking annual contracts for the services with the possibility of a one year contract extensions. Bids will be opened on Wednesday at 10:30 a.m.
Dwayne Pielech, director of the county's Department of Jobs and Family Services, which administers the seniors program, confirmed increased services. "Since we took over the senior services program on Oct. 1, the number of home care customers has increased from 275 to 325." He indicated that placed a strain on the budget which led to the commissioners providing additional funds to carry the care program through to the end of this month.
Even more services will be provided this year for those enrolled in the care program. "We are starting to update every customer to see if we can give them additional services," Pielech asserted, noting that there are instances where some seniors need more help than what is afforded under the health care program. "If they need help, we'll see that they get it."
Pielech also noted the meals program is also "making a comeback." He said the program lost some clients "because of the switch in the meals preparation. The meals program is starting to increase once again."
Under the former seniors program, Pielech pointed out, there were a total of 180,000 daily meals served to Belmont County's elderly residents in a year's time. "This year we look to increase that number to 200,000."
Jack Hanna, the renowned wild animal expert who has thrilled local children and adults with his display and handling of animals, will be returning for another local appearance in May. Stephen Ferrante, Captina Creek Watershed coordinator for the Belmont Soil and Water Conservation district, has contacted Hanna for an appearance here for his annual watershed rally. Ferrante is now accepting applications from organizations planning to have exhibits for the rally.
A forum for all the candidates seeking public office in the March 6 primary election has been scheduled by the Belmont County Township Trustees Association for Feb. 20 at 6 p.m. at the Belmont County Emergency Management Agency's disaster operations center.
Besides giving all the candidates an opportunity to make presentations, association president Greg Bizzarri said the meeting will provide an opportunity for the trustees to see inspect the facilities at the operations center.
The meeting will open with a regular meeting of the association at 6 p.m. followed by the candidate forum at 6:30 p.m. Each candidate will be given three or four minutes to talk. Afterwards the candidates will be open for questions.
"Although this is an association meeting, the public is invited and urged to attend to become familiar with all of the candidates," Bizzarri noted.
The primary election candidates are also being invited to a "Meet the Candidates" event sponsored by the St. Clairsville Area Chamber of Commerce during its Wednesday noon meeting at Undo's Restaurant.
Friday was the deadline for candidates to make their reservations for the event, but chamber executive director Jennifer Woollard noted that "if a candidate calls as late as Tuesday and wants to be on the program, we'll make space for them."
Although the candidate session is part of the chamber's regular luncheon meeting, Woollard said the public is invited to attend. "We'll have a special section set up for those who want to attend but who do not want to have lunch," Woollard said, "but they, too, must make reservations so that we can provide ample seating." Advance reservations must be made by 10 a.m. Tuesday by calling 695-9623.
With so many companies seeking oil and gas leases in Belmont County, the county commissioners were visibly disappointed that only one bid was submitted to lease county-owned property for mineral rights.
What was even more disappointing to them was the fact that the county had offered more than 400 acres of property owned by the county for possible drilling rights and the one bid received was for just 49.96 acres in the Pultney-Mead townships area. More extensive acreage near Barnesville and also along Ohio 331 apparently were not considered. Commissioners indicated that perhaps there will be other offers coming later.
XTO Energy Inc., a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil, made the only bid for the 49.96 acres, offering $5,000 per acre under a three-year contract with royalty payments of 19 percent. Shut-in royalties for when a well is not producing was set at $25 per acre.
Now that the mostly boring Super Bowl game is finally in the record books, it is time to turn attention to baseball. While there were a couple instances where boredom was pushed aside - like the last three minutes of the game - most people I talked to thought the game was just that: boring. What was most exciting, however, was how Tom Brady's wife gave her explanation of why the Patriots lost.
While wearing my Pittsburgh Pirates jacket almost every day this winter, I've received a lot of comments from strangers like "Don't have to ask who you root for" and many forms of "what's going to happen with the Pirates next year?" And a waitress in a restaurant in Akron, which is Indians fan territory, quietly whispered to me, "nice jacket. I like them." She whispered so that nearby customers would not hear her choice of the Pirates over the Indians.
Finishing in fourth place last year was a huge improvement for the team even though they racked up another losing season. There is a much improved and experienced pitching staff as well as hitters, so I figure they should be climbing higher in the standings - hopefully way up. Last I read about them, they were dickering with the New York Yankees for a pitcher to further strengthen their staff.
Happy Valentine's Day.

News Release

USP, SPC Launch First Human-Rights Diploma In Pacific
The University of the South Pacific (USP), in partnership with the Secretariat of the Pacific Community Regional Rights Resources Team (SPC RRRT) has launched a new Diploma in Leadership, Governance and Human Rights.
'The road to this launch has been a long one. RRRT started the paralegal training in 1997 and only now is all of that work, knowledge, and skills finally embedded in a program run by the premier educational institution in the region so that everyone can have access to it. Providing these resources to the region is a big achievement on the part of both the University of the South Pacific and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community,' said Sandra Bernklau, Manager of the SPC RRRT Program.
Coordinator of the diploma at USP, Natasha Khan, said the new diploma fills a gap in the market. While institutions in Australia and New Zealand offer programs on these issues, and USP has postgraduate studies on governance, there have been no programs at USP for people interested in leadership and human rights issues, particularly at the undergraduate level. 'Fifty-six students from around the Pacific have enrolled for the diploma's first intake this semester, and they will be able to study from their own countries as well as at USP's main campus in Suva,' says Khan.
Speaking at the launch, Professor Vijay Naidu, Head of the School of Government, Development and International Affairs at USP, said that this new diploma is a much-needed and a useful qualification for a range of people in the Pacific, including the police and people working in legal systems, communities, civil society and faith based organizations, as well as in movements for the rights of women and other marginalized groups.
The new diploma aims to respond to the learning needs of people in the Pacific and it can be studied full-time or part-time, with scholarships available. It is delivered using a distance education framework that does not rely on access to the internet and so is available to anyone. It is a recognized tertiary qualification that provides a sound understanding of the principles of effective leadership and good governance.
The development of the course was made possible with the generous support of AusAID through the Pacific Leadership Programme and the Australian Volunteers International Programme.

Good Game but...
This review is from: Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks Nintendo DS Game
Pros: Fun game. New mini quests and side stories as well as the previous Phantom Hourglass layout.
Cons: You have to play it with the sound on to be able to use the pipe. Otherwise, you can't quite time it right. this is an annoyance for me because occasionally I like to play while waiting for appointments and such so I can't wear headphones and feel weird having the sound on.
Other Thoughts: All over good game. Definately worth it for Zelda lovers and even those new to Zelda.

One hell of a great game
This review is from: Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks Nintendo DS Game
Pros: Higher difficulty, improved mechanics and overall a much better game than both Phantom Hourglass and Twilight Princess. Item usage is improved, I absolutely love the train so much more than the boat/ship and Zelda is much more involved than in the previous games.
Cons: Still touch screen only
Other Thoughts: May be a hit or miss but I absolutely loved using the mic for certain items and the musical instrument you get. The songs get harder toward the end though.

Do you buy video games to be amused or annoyed? Annoyed? LOOK NO FURTHER!
This review is from: Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks Nintendo DS Game
Pros: Pretty much the same as the phantom hour glass game play wise, puzzles, and dungeons.
Cons: Throughout the game you'll need to blow into your mic to use weapons. Innovative? Sure, but annoying? Very much.
Other Thoughts: Buy the phantom hour glass, or play it again. You'll find a much better investment playing in dirt, or eating it than this game.

DOCTOR WHO Series 8 Trailer Gets Dark
No more 15 second teases. With that August 23 premiere date fast approaching, the ol' Beeb give us a more proper trailer, with things looking mighty grim for Peter Capaldi's 12th Doctor. As those things go, Ben Wheatley (Sightseers, A Field In England) directs the first two episodes. How fitting.

Technology Vision: Proprietary Performance, Standards Based.
Read the new Microsoft case study which details some of the work that Xenomorph and the Microsoft DPE team have been doing in getting Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and 2005 to support Xenomorph's proprietary time-series technology. Due for release later this summer, this new technology is being tested on large databases (750 billion records so far!) and will offer high performance tick/time series analysis, with the benefit of leveraging the database management and reporting tools of Microsoft SQL Server.

Xenomorph wins the Financial-I enterprise data retrieval and analytics award for the second year running.
A panel of journalists from Financial-I, industry analysts and thought leaders selected Xenomorph to win the award for enterprise data retrieval and analytics for the second year running at the Leaders in Innovation Awards, which recognizes companies that demonstrate an ongoing commitment to innovation.
Brian Sentance, CEO of Xenomorph commented: "We are proud to win this award for the second year running as it recognizes our desire to make our clients more successful by closing the productivity gaps between high performance database technology, data management and end-user data analysis."
"Spreadsheet in a database" technology gets academic recognition.
A paper on Xenomorph's spreadsheet in a database technology - 'Spreadsheet Inside' - has been accepted to the arXiv.org academic archive at Cornell University.
Below is the abstract from the paper. If you would like to read it in full, follow this link.
"Spreadsheets in financial markets are frequently used as database, calculator and reporting application combined. This paper describes an alternative approach in which spreadsheet design and database technology have been brought together in order to alleviate management and regulatory concerns over the operational risks of spreadsheet usage. In particular, the paper focuses on the rapid creation and centralised deployment of statistical analytics within a software system now in use by major investment banks, and presents a novel technique for the manipulation in spreadsheets of high volumes of intraday market data."
If the subject of controlling and centralizing spreadsheet calculations is of interest, then you can also take a look at Xenomorph's white paper on "Spreadsheet Inside" at http://www.xenomorph.com/downloads/whitepapers/spreadsheet-inside/
