EU wants tougher media laws in Romania
The independence of Romania's judiciary is being threatened by media campaigns, European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso has warned.
Speaking in Brussels on Monday (4 February) alongside Romanian Prime Minister Victor Ponta, the commission chief said steps should be taken to ensure Romanian media cannot single out an individual prosecutor or judge in a smear campaign.

"We cannot dismiss the fact that we have received complaints by the Constitutional Court, by the Superior Council of Magistracy, about campaigns orchestrated in the media against the independence of the magistrates, either prosecutors or judges," Barroso noted.
The same concerns were earlier raised in a commission report on Romania's rule of law published on 30 January.
The paper said that the Romanian government needs to "review existing standards to safeguard a free and pluralist media while ensuring effective redress ... against undue pressure or intimidation from the media against the judiciary."
The report raises doubt on the ability of Romania's media watchdog, the National Audiovisual Council, to do its job under current rules.
For his part, Ponta said media freedom is a fundamental value, but added it requires a balance "with the independence of the judiciary and the working of the rule of law."
Brussels' ideas have not gone down well with pro-media freedom groups in Romania.
Diana-Olivia Hatneanu, from the human rights organisation the Romanian Helsinki Committee, told this website from Bucharest that the commission report effectively "recommended a complete ban on critising judicial decisions."
The committee and like-minded NGOs such as the Center for Independent Journalism, the Romanian Center for Investigative Journalism and Active Watch fear that Romanian authorities might mistake the EU intervention as a carte blanche to crack down on government-critical journalists, for example by making defamation and slander punishable under criminal law.
The two offences were removed from the criminal code six years ago following extensive pressure from the media and NGOs.
The Constitutional Court later ruled that decriminalisation of defamation is unconstitutional. But despite the verdict, both items have remained off the criminal register.
Hatneanu added that Barroso is missing the point.
She said the real problem in the Romanian media sector is business barons who use television, radio and print for their own political ends.
It is the media tycoons, she believes, who put pressure on journalists to target judges or for the National Audiovisual Council to turn a blind eye and who should be the focus of EU concern.
She noted the commission's suggestions would also place additional barriers on the few truly independent media outlets that still exist.
"The wording [of the EU rule of law report] is too vague and leaves room for the authorities to take measures against independent media," she said.

Belgian and Austrian Victories in Antarctic Ice Marathon & 100k
Wheelchair competitor completes seven marathons on seven continents
Twenty competitors from ten countries participated in the third Antarctic Ice Marathon & 100km races held on December 19th and 20th 2007. The events are the southernmost marathon and ultramarathon races in the world, taking place at a latitude of 80 degrees south in the interior of the frozen continent.
In the wheelchair section, held in relatively good weather on December 19th, William Tan of Singapore succeeded in becoming the first person to complete a marathon on all seven continents in a wheelchair. It was a remarkable achievement, taking him 9:48:52 hrs of constant pushing on the wheelchair course. It also represented his seventh marathon on seven continents in only four weeks.
The marathon and 100km footraces were operated concurrently on December 20th because of a weather-related delay in arriving into the Antarctic. However, the conditions became extremely difficult only two hours into the race. Although the temperature was only -8C to -10C, it began to snow and fog descended on the course. Eventually, freezing sleet also confronted the runners. Many found it very problematic just to see the course, which comprised loose snow and ice throughout.
In a close finish, Marc De Keyser (Belgium) won the 26.2-mile marathon in a new record time of 4:42:32 hrs – some two hours slower than his road best. The 43-year-old Belgian has spent a couple of seasons in the Antarctic and was clearly the most comfortable in the poor conditions. Behind him were two Irishmen, Mark Scanlon and Peter Bell. Brazil's Bernardo Fonseca was fourth, with Raj Patel (Great Britain / India) and Brent Weigner (USA) rounding off the top six.
Given the deteriorating weather situation, only two of the ten originally entered for the 100km (62.1 miles) attempted to run beyond the marathon distance. Top adventure runner, Christian Schiester (Austria) took the 100km title in 19:58:14 hrs with Susan Holliday (Great Britain) becoming the first woman ever to complete the distance in Antarctica.
Henri Girault (FRA) a 71-year-old and a veteran of five-hundred-and-sixty 100km events, could not manage to fulfil his goal of running 100km on the seventh continent but successfully completed a marathon distance.
Both overall winners of the Marathon and 100k received Kobold expedition watches for their efforts in the snow.
The fourth Antarctic Ice Marathon & 100km races are scheduled to take place on December 12th and 15th, 2008. The marathon is a member of the Association of International Marathons & Road Races (AIMS) and the 100km race is the only International Association of Ultrarunners (IAU) labelled event in the Antarctic. Both races are also the only running events within the Antarctic Circle and take place in 24-hour daylight.

Good: Gas prices tumbled! Bad: New taxes?
Posted by brosenberg on January 6, 2009The New Year has opened with some positive news but don�t expect the mainstream media to give it much coverage. After all, to them only bad news is good news!
The good news is gas prices at the pump have dropped faster than a Marine recruit doing push ups. The even better news is that it�s leaving real money in consumer�s checking accounts these days. And, with our boat show season now hitting stride — Houston exceeded expectations for opening weekend and dozens of other major shows kick off next weekend � extra money for consumers comes just at the right time.
Here�s what I mean. It�s a fact that every time the price of gas at the pump drops just one thin dime it makes $12 billion in cash available for American consumers to spend elsewhere. So, the drop in gas prices from the recent high of $4.00/gal. down to today�s approximately $1.50/gal. is leaving $300 billion in cash in consumer�s bank accounts. That�s like a massive tax cut and it will have an unheralded positive economic impact.
Add more good news that comes from reports that President-elect Obama�s stimulus plan will likely include another $150 billion in tax cuts for consumers and $100 billion in cuts for businesses. Throw in another $500 billion in government spending and the $700-plus billion package should go a long way to boosting the consumer spending outlook.
Of course, my optimism is predicated on the fact that neither Congress nor the states do anything stupid � like raise gas taxes! For example, Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon says as we use less fuel �the gas tax isn�t going to fill the bill,� meaning a hike in the gas tax could be justified to fund roads and transportation programs. Or, why not bleed consumers by requiring drivers to report their mileage when they register their vehicles and taxing those miles?
Yes, governors in Idaho and Rhode Island have suggested that idea. Why, Oregon has even run a �mileage tax� experiment using 300 GPS transponder-equipped cars that work wirelessly with two gas stations allowing drivers to pay their theoretical mileage tax just as they do their gas tax.
What are these guys thinking? With the country struggling in a deep recession and American consumers finally getting a break at the gas pump, a diverse group ranging from brain-dead politicians to self-serving members of the Infrastructure Financing Commission thinks it�s a good idea to raise taxes on gas or mileage to fund projects. Hey, I got an idea: how about cutting expenses!
But, let�s set this talk about taxes aside. The fact is I like the picture that�s forming right now in time for our boat shows. Specifically, we need to focus on such things as: Unemployment is rising, yes, but most people are still working and secure in their jobs; Gas prices aren�t painful or even news anymore leaving us all more money to spend elsewhere; Forget �08, operating a boat in 2009 will be a great deal cheaper. Our government is planning to boost our cash position even more, and as fast as possible, too; Interest rates remain low and there is money for boat loans for solid buyers, at least.
Finally, I think consumers are (1) tired of all the negativity that concluded �08 and, accordingly, (2) will see �09 in much more positive terms. I think most boat shows will reflect an upbeat outlook and will exceed expectations, too.
Happy New Year!

Paravirtualization With Xen On CentOS 5.6 (x86_64)
Version 1.0
Author: Falko Timme
Follow me on Twitter
This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install Xen (version 3.0.3) on a CentOS 5.6 (x86_64) system.
Xen lets you create guest operating systems (*nix operating systems like Linux and FreeBSD), so called "virtual machines" or domUs, under a host operating system (dom0). Using Xen you can separate your applications into different virtual machines that are totally independent from each other (e.g. a virtual machine for a mail server, a virtual machine for a high-traffic web site, another virtual machine that serves your customers' web sites, a virtual machine for DNS, etc.), but still use the same hardware. This saves money, and what is even more important, it's more secure. If the virtual machine of your DNS server gets hacked, it has no effect on your other virtual machines. Plus, you can move virtual machines from one Xen server to the next one.
I will use CentOS 5.6 (x86_64) for both the host OS (dom0) and the guest OS (domU).
This howto is meant as a practical guide; it does not cover the theoretical backgrounds. They are treated in a lot of other documents in the web.
This document comes without warranty of any kind! I want to say that this is not the only way of setting up such a system. There are many ways of achieving this goal but this is the way I take. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!
1 Preliminary Note
This guide will explain how to set up image-based virtual machines and also LVM-based virtual machines.
Make sure that SELinux is disabled or permissive:
vi /etc/sysconfig/selinux
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. # SELINUX= can take one of these three values: # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. # disabled - SELinux is fully disabled. SELINUX=disabled # SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are: # targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected. # strict - Full SELinux protection. SELINUXTYPE=targeted |
If you had to modify /etc/sysconfig/selinux, please reboot the system:
2 Installing Xen
To install Xen, we simply run
yum install kernel-xen xen
This installs Xen and a Xen kernel on our CentOS system.
Before we can boot the system with the Xen kernel, please check your GRUB bootloader configuration. We open /boot/grub/menu.lst:
vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
The first listed kernel should be the Xen kernel that you've just installed:
[...] title CentOS (2.6.18-238.9.1.el5xen) root (hd0,0) kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-238.9.1.el5 module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-238.9.1.el5xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 module /initrd-2.6.18-238.9.1.el5xen.img [...] |
Change the value of default to 0 (so that the first kernel (the Xen kernel) will be booted by default):
[...] default=0 [...] |
The complete /boot/grub/menu.lst should look something like this:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.18-238.9.1.el5xen) root (hd0,0) kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-238.9.1.el5 module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-238.9.1.el5xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 module /initrd-2.6.18-238.9.1.el5xen.img title CentOS (2.6.18-238.el5) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-238.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 initrd /initrd-2.6.18-238.el5.img |
Afterwards, we reboot the system:
The system should now automatically boot the new Xen kernel. After the system has booted, we can check that by running
uname -r
[[email protected] ~]# uname -r
[[email protected] ~]#
So it's really using the new Xen kernel!
We can now run
xm list
to check if Xen has started. It should list Domain-0 (dom0):

When is the best time to switch to Linux?
Whilst we're asleep, two articles were published documenting the benefits of Linux over Windows OS. Should we consider switching now? I do not know with you but I am already using Linux in my desktops at the university.
First stop, GiftCertificates.com, a company founded by a former Microsoft executive, is now considering switching to Linux because of the new Microsoft licensing strategies. According to CEO Michael Ahern, the difference "is hundreds of dollars on the Linux side versus tens of thousands of dollars for Windows." Think about how much money these people have - in US dollars - as compared to our SMITEs and the government. Shouldn't we go the Linux route and save more money?
Second article from Linux Today is about the Total Cost of Ownership of Linux and Windows. This article presents that the TCO of Linux is less than half of that of Microsoft over a span of three years. Interesting, isn't it?
Question now is - what are you going to do about it?

Dolby sorround 8.1 (LM4780)
Hi to all , I'm new here and i don't know very well english.
Ok now i'll tell you my problem about the costruction of a dolby sorround 8.1.I want create it whit a mpc509 (analogic multiplexer) for channel choosing, a tda3810 (this chip create spatial stereo) for the rear channel , and lateral channel , a lm324( low power op-amp) for preamplifing all but before of the pre amplifier i want put some cross over that for the high cut (300hz to 20khz) and low cut (20hz to 300hz), 8 high cut for all the channel and one low cut for the sub channel. I want to use four LM4780 for the eight channel but i don't know what use for the sub. Second you a bridged lm4780 can be good ? How can be the dissipation of all this component second you ? Excuse me if I've wrong , but i didn't know where wirite this thing |

Hi David,
I think LM324 is not a good idea for filtering and preamp section. You must use a better opamp for this position; like OPA4134. And for the sub power amp, if you will use 4ohm subwoofer then you must use LM4780 in parallel, and if you will use a 8ohm subwoofer then bridge configuration is better. In any case you will have double power of one channel LM4780. About the power dissipation; I think you will need huge heatsinks. Because 9 channel LM4780 creates a lot of heat (at least 30W per channel!)
Best regards, Ozgur |

Hello! I can answer a little bit about multi-channel application.
I doing something very similiar to you, except for the car. I have a 5.1 D.Digital/DTS decoder in my car, and wanted a TRUE 5.1 channel amplifier, which is not available on the car audio market. So what I did was I made 9 identical LM3886 modules to be used like this: 1. 5 identical PA100 modules for main channels: LF, RF, center, RR,LR 2. Two spare front channels, for midbass (LF#2, RF#2) 3. Two remaining PA100s used together form a BPA200 bridged for subwoofer channel Two PA100s were enough remaining for making the subwoofer channel by slightly modifying one module into the inverting mode. Then together they form the BPA200. Basically only trivially different from the LM4780 (same general design, etc.) That's pretty easy, except having difficulty with the servo circuit. But that is optional. But YES, you better make sure to use very large heatsinks. Good luck! |

In Reply to: Re: You should get a chest x-ray. posted by Jessica on March 20, 2000 at 20:34:28:
: : : Since December, I've been sick. First, I had a bout with influenza, which left me with bronchitis and escalated my asthma. As soon as I finished my antibiotic for bronchitis, I started running a fever again, and when I went back to the Dr. he said it was a sinus infection. So onward to a stronger antibiotic. Still didn't feel good. Saw a different Dr. who felt it was viral and told me to up my asthma meds. Started feeling better around 2/1. Decided that I couldn't go through another series of this ever again, so I decided to quit smoking (was about 1/2 pack per day smoker). Dr. gave me Zyban. Three days into the Zyban, started coughing again, wheezing, and bronchial spasms. The coughing is worse when I am lying down. The bronchial spasms happen immediately following a cough, it sounds like I am finishing each cough with a sneeze. I am so sick of coughing all the time. I have neck pain now every time I cough. Anyway, went back to the Dr. He thought it was from quitting smoking, and all the crap in my lungs was clearing out. Problem with that diagnosis is that the coughing and wheezing started after I began Zyban but BEFORE I quit smoking (I quit in second week). So, here I am still coughing and wheezing and using my inhaler 3 times per day. There's got to be something else wrong. Could it be the Zyban (I am still on it)? I asked the Dr. but he didn't think respitory problems were a known side effect. In all this time, I have not been given a chest Xray. I really think I need one. I am so afraid it's lung cancer or some other horrible disease. Do my symptoms sound like anything familiar???? : Dear Fran,: I do not have any answers. But, I do know that if you don't do what you feel you should, in your heart, you won't be able to forgive yourself. Our minds and bodies have a deep connection, if in your spirit you feel the need for a chest x-ray, DEMAND it! I know a part of you is afraid, but you & I also know the worst thing to do is put it off. I hope I have not been too blunt, but it looks as though you might have needed a sounding board. Best of Wishes.
Hi Jessica, shortly after I posted this, I went back to the Dr. with yet ANOTHER bout of bronchitis, and he did have me get a chest Xray which was thankfully normal. He then thought I might be having a problem with Gastric Reflux, which might be a cause of respiratory infections, and order an upper G.I. and put me on a prescription antacid. Meanwhile...he sent a sputum sample off to the lab, and at my follow up visit today he informed me that as it turns out I have some obscure bacterial infection, so for the FIFTH time since Christmas I am on another antibiotic. Hopefully, this one is IT. Geesh!

Hi there,
What an exciting week! I'm pleased to share the following alert regarding DOMA that my colleagues Lisa Cukier, Christine Fletcher and Peter Zupcofska put together today for clients and friends of our firm. As we celebrate the fall of DOMA there are still lots of legal issues facing gay and lesbian couples in the states that don't recognize gay marriage.
U.S. Supreme Court Declares DOMA Unconstitutional: What You Need to Know
Yesterday in a historic decision, the Supreme Court of the United States struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) by declaring it unconstitutional. In the case, United States v. Windsor, the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples living in the states that recognize their marriage are entitled to receive the same federal benefits as any other married couple in those states.This important ruling has myriad implications and touches upon many areas of law affecting same-sex couples across the country. For example, estate plans for same-sex couples were previously drafted to take advantage of benefits available within the 13 states and the District of Columbia that recognize same-sex marriage; nevertheless, estate plans had to be drafted around DOMA, which denied same-sex couples the benefits afforded other married couples under federal law. With yesterday's Windsor decision, the door has been opened for same-sex couples living in those states that allow same-sex marriage to take advantage of the federal estate planning opportunities afforded by straight couples, such as estate tax planning and retirement benefit planning. Same-sex spouses may need to rethink their wealth management strategies and estate plans in order to redistribute wealth, change beneficiary designations and amend estate plans. Same-sex couples may also want to consider establishing domicile in a state that allows for same sex marriage, as well as consider amending past tax return filings.
The federal government will still deny most federal benefits to same-sex couples living in the 37 states that don't allow same-sex marriage, and for same-sex married couples who relocate or travel to a state that does not allow same-sex marriage. Importantly, this decision creates new complexities for divorcing same-sex couples given the continued lack of portability of same-sex marriages and the incongruent availability of federal and state benefits for same-sex spouses. Only those same-sex couples who are married in states that permit gay couples to marry, and who remain residents of such states, will now participate in the full panoply of federal and state rights, protections and obligations enjoyed by other married spouses. But if a couple marries in Massachusetts, for example, and relocates to a state that has a state DOMA law, the federal government will not recognize the marriage. Crossing state lines will mean that the couple may not be able to secure a divorce if needed, and even if a divorce were somehow granted by a state with a DOMA law, assets divided incident to the divorce will not be subject to tax protections and advantages that other divorcing spouses receive.
Additional implications for same-sex couples resulting from yesterday's decision relate to Social Security benefits, VA benefits, immigration issues, ERISA and health insurance benefits.
As we watch these historic events unfold and analyze their impact on our clients, Burns & Levinson attorneys stand ready to work with you to incorporate the effects of yesterday's important decision into your personal estate and tax planning.

Little Tikes creates iTikes iPad toy range – so looks like toy companies have jumped on the hook 'em young bandwagon set by the big tobacco companies. What a week… starting off with some travel-lag from seeing the family in Jersey and some cool weather and ending off with some pretty hot and sticky temperatures. I also had the opportunity to chat social with some local nonprofits before closing out on a few stressful days. How was your week? Any big plans for the weekend? For the Espo clan it's some furniture delivery and house situating. Double dog dare you even. Five for Friday
iPad so therefore I think!
Engaging Brand
I approached the iPad like my mac.wrong.this is your coach, your teacher, your housekeeper, your office all in one. I am typing this post on a shiny new IPad.and it is hitting me how marketing and branding teams I talk to are not necessarily struggling with the New tools, they are not always struggling with the change in consumer expectations.no they are struggling to change their own mindset. So a challenge to us all.can we stop thinking of how we can move what we do now into the digital world.after all no one tried to fax a telephone! brand

I bought the first iPad from Apple and loved it immediately. I loved it so much that I didn't understand why I would need to carry around the MacBook Air and the iPad at the same time. I loaned my iPad to a family member and quickly forgot about it. I went out and got the new iPad (3? Now, I'm busy carrying both the iPad and MacBook Air all over the world. Looking out - not too far - into the horizon, I could see myself completely ditching the laptop/computer in lieu of the iPad. Are iPads killing laptops? ipad 3. whatever!). Fad or trend?

text: Corporal Barnes was awakened suddenly by the loud noise of the dropship's engines."What," Corporal Barnes thought, "I fell asleep on a Covenant dropship and i'm still alive!" Corporal Barnes felt the dropship land and heard the pilot's dismount. They spoke with each other in their native tongues and Barnes heard them walk away."Why would the Covenant want my cross, they can't use it for anything?" Barnes thought. When Barnes was sure the Covenant were away, he started pushing really hard on the hatch that had him enclosed. After 2 minutes of trying, he gave up on pushing and just rammed himself into the hatch. It gave and Barnes fell on the cold, purple floor. He looked around and saw that he was in a large, Covenant hangar. He looked around for an exit and saw a huge hallway in the west corner of the hangar. He started walking down it until, just then, the huge shadow of an Elite started forming just around the corner. Barnes put his back up against the wall and stopped breathing. Finally, the Elite came, it was the same exact one that had took his cross, and he had it in a satchel around his waist. Barnes was about to curse loudly at the Elite, but that would have been a death wish. But just then, the Elite stopped and sniffed the air. Barnes didn't even think the saliva in his mouth was moving. But, to Barnes's relief, the Elite started walking again. For the next ten minutes, Barnes trailed the Elite through the base. It was pretty smooth sailing from there, until the Elite went into what looked like a Hunter Hangout. Barnes was definately not going to go in there. Barnes saw the Elite throw the hunter's a dark look, then he exited the room. Barnes was about to give up hope when he noticed a vent above the door. He pulled out his combat knife, reached up to the vent and pried of the top. Unfortunately, the lid slammed against the floor which grabbed all of the hunters'attention. "Oh, crap!" Barnes yelled as he jumped into the vent. The hunter's all walked out. One of the hunter's noticed the lid of of the vent. He then looked in the vent and saw Barnes. This angered the Hunter, so much, that the hunter pointed his fuel rod gun down the vent and fired. Barnes then crawled faster than a spider to the other end. He made it out just in time but the explosion blew him into the opposite wall when he made it out. His vision blurred. "Ohhhhh.." Barnes moaned. When he regained his vision, the Elite was standing right over him, grinning. That grin, he knew that grin. It was the same Elite that had almost killed him on the ship! "Remember me, human!" Barnes's heart had almost stopped, the Elite had spoken! "That's right, I can speak you're pathetic language," The Elite said, "Hmmm, this situation seems oddly familiar, oh, that's right." The Elite said as he leveled his plasma rifle at Barnes's face. "This time, your the one who's lights are going to go out." Just then, Barnes launched off the ground right into the Elite's stomach. They both hit the ground. "I believe you have something that's mine." Barnes said in a strained voice. The Elite then fired madly with the plasma rifle. When he did that, Barnes pushed the firing end of the plasma rifle right into the Elite's face, which melted it off completely. Barnes then ripped the cross from the Elite's satchel. "Thanks." Barnes said to the Elite's dead body. As he rounded a corner, he bumped into what he thought was another Elite. But, to his very big suprise, it was Kyle! "Kyle, what the crap are you doing here!?!" "It's a long story but it has something to do with that." Kyle said pointing at my shoulder. "What?" Barnes asked. "There's a GPS tracker chip made into the fibers in your shoulder armor." Barnes was stunned, but then he heard the rumbling of hunter's feet. the hunter's were still chasing him! "Oh, crap, we've gotta run!" "Why?" Said Kyle as he was trying to catch up. "Hunters!" Yelled Barnes. "OH NO!" Kyle yelled, now caught up with Barnes. But then Barnes thought something. "So this is how it ends up, running away from something like always." Barnes stopped running. "BARNES, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Kyle yelled going back for Barnes. "Kyle, think about it, we always end up running away from something, let's take a stand for once, even if it means dying." "Barnes you......you are.........right, we have to stand for something." The Hunters were now 20 meters away. "Oh, and, by the way, thanks for saving me." Kyle said as the hunter raised it's gun. They knew they were going to die, but they didn't care. "Goodbye, Kyle." Barnes said. They never did look at the fuel rod gun as it fired............... |

The Gestalt Theatre Project is making its regional debut in downtown Riversideâs newest venue, The Box at the Fox Entertainment Plaza, with Lee Blessingâs rarely produced play, âEleemosynary.â
Running four performances over the weekend of Sept. 13-15, the show is designed to not only bring a new type of theatrical work to Riverside, but to open the imaginations of both audiences and potential facility users to what is possible in the space.
âIt is tremendously exciting to have this venue in our community,â said Patrick Brien, executive director of the Riverside Arts Council and one of Gestaltâs founding members. âAs a more intimate space with flexible seating configurations, the possibilities for what can be produced there are almost limitless. It is an excellent addition to the larger Fox Performing Arts Center, next door.â
Brien, who also serves as the director of âEleemosynary,â goes on to highlight what he calls âthe venueâs state-of-the-art technological capabilitiesâ as well as âthe affordable rental rates.â
âAs the âCity of Arts and Innovation,â Riverside has found a very innovative way to address the needs of organizations both within this region and beyond,â he explains. âIt also presents an opportunity to produce a show such as âEleemosynaryâ that stretches the boundaries of what is capable of being produced in a theatrical setting. This sort of thing is precisely what those of us who were around the table envisioned when âSeizing Our Destiny,â the Cityâs strategic plan, was developed.â
âEleemosynaryâ is a funny yet often moving portrait of three generations of extraordinary women inextricably tied together through loss, abandonment, reconciliation and love. Dorothea, a woman trapped by societal norms, hid her brilliance behind eccentricity. She dreams of literal and figurative flight for her daughter, Artie. But Artie, feeling suffocated by her motherâs eccentricity, spends years trying to escape. It is the birth of Artieâs own daughter, Echo, which reignites Dorotheaâs dreams of flight. Jealous of their connection, Artie walks away for good. Echo, however, is not a child that is easily left behind.
âThe abstract nature of time, the beauty of words, and the indefinable power of love make Eleemosynary a theatrical experience that will long resonate with audiences,â Brien said.
Brien has run theater companies in Europe, as well as in various part of the United States, and his efforts in both directing and acting have been recognized with awards at both the international and domestic levels.
âEleemosynaryâ features Beverly Baird as Dorothea, Brandi Clarke as Artie and Marina Gomez as Echo.
âGestalt is a collaboration of leaders from the arts and business community that is greater than the summation of its parts,â says Roger Clarke, principal of Ruhnau Ruhnau Clarke, the award-winning architecture firm, and third founding member of Gestalt. âWe are dedicated to creating a new kind of theatrical experience for both audiences and artists.â He is designing and constructing the set, incorporating the playâs non-linear structure, as well as its themes of history, imagination and mathematics.
David St. Pierre, owner of The Menagerie and Delights and Invites, is the fourth founding member of the company and is designing the complex lighting for the show.
Performances are at 8 p.m. on the Sept. 13 and 14, as well as 2 p.m. on the 14th and 15th.
The Box is in the Fox Entertainment Plaza at 3635 Market St. in downtown Riverside. Tickets cost $20 per person and can be purchased online at www.GestaltTheatreProject.com. There is no late seating, so patrons are advised to arrive on time.

Ethical saving and investing
When you put money in a savings account, the bank or building society can lend your deposits to firms to support and grow their businesses. If you invest in shares, fixed-interest or investment funds, you are even more directly investing in businesses. Ethical saving and investing lets you be selective about which firms you help.
What counts as ethical?
In general, there is no single definition of 'ethical'.
Each person might have their own view of the types of industry they feel unhappy to support or those they would like to actively support.
For example, you might be concerned to avoid firms that employ child labour, while your neighbour's priority might be green technologies to fight climate change.
Similarly, different ethical products take a different stance on the investments they reject (negative selection) and those they support (positive selection).
However, if you're looking for Sharia-compliant savings and investments, Islamic law sets out the principles to be followed, including, for example, avoiding investments related to pork, gambling and pornography, or the earning of interest (which is considered to be exploitation – similar to the usury laws that used to apply under Christian law).
Choosing ethical savings or investments
To save or invest ethically, you need to research the banks, companies or investment funds you're thinking about to see what ethical principles (if any) they implement and whether these are a good match to your own principles.

For bachelor students we offer German lectures on database systems in addition with paper- or project-oriented seminars. Within a one-year bachelor project students finalize their studies in cooperation with external partners. For master students we offer courses on information integration, data profiling, search engines and information retrieval enhanced by specialized seminars, master projects and advised master theses.
The Web Science group focuses on various topics related to the Web, such as Information Retrieval, Natural Language Processing, Data Mining, Knowledge Discovery, Social Network Analysis, Entity Linking, and Recommender Systems. The group is particularly interested in Text Mining to deal with the vast amount of unstructured and semi-structured information available on the Web.
Most of our research is conducted in the context of larger research projects, in collaboration across students, across groups, and across universities. We strive to make available most of our data sets and source code.
We publish our research mostly at DB and IR-related journals and conferences. Many of our publications are available as downloads. If you cannot find one, please contact one of the authors.
Our group includes PostDocs, PhD students, and student assistants, and is headed by Prof. Felix Naumann. If you are interested in joining our team, please contact Felix Naumann.
On this page we present our recent results and code on mining RDF Data. In particular, we present experimental results on synonym discovery, ontology alignment and data enrichment. We have also integrated these three use cases into our mining and profiling tool ProLOD++. ProLOD++ is still under development, but you are welcome to try some basic features by clicking here.
Mining Configurations as introduced in [2,5] can be used to create new facts for entities, align ontologies to the underlying data and to discover synonymously used predicates. In the following we provide several files that contain interesting artifacts of our experimental results for browsing and reviewing purposes.
Our data-driven amendment algorithm generates new facts based on high-confidence object to object rules. Our paper on that algorithm is currently under review. Hence, we provide the actual generated facts of experimental runs of our algorithm.
In addition to the generated triples each file contains the set of generated predicate rules and object rules. Before each set of generated facts a set of "Conditions" and a "Consequences" are denoted. They resemble all high-confidence rules Condition -> Consequence, on which basis we picked entities that needed to be amended with a new fact having the denoted Consequence as a property value.
E.g.:Condition: http://dbpedia.org/resource/South_ParkConsequence: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Trey_Parkerhttp://dbpedia.org/resource/Follow_That_Egg%21 http://dbpedia.org/ontology/director http://dbpedia.org/resource/Trey_Parker .

Generated Facts for Organisation Entities
Generated Facts for Place Entities
Generated Facts for Species Entities
Generated Facts for Work Entities
Generated Facts on YAGO2 (The underlying dataset is a cleaned version of YAGO2 as provided by the athor's of the AMIE project)
To analyze the performance of our ontology alignment algorithm [4,6] based on association rules, we provide the following file that contains the results of a complete analysis of DBpedia Infoboxes Ontology Data 3.6 and 3.7 that we reported in our paper [4].
File Format
Experiments on Dbpedia 3.6
Experiments on DBpedia 3.7
For the evaluation of our synonym discovery approach we manually checked all possible predicate pairs of two datasest, DBpedia Work 3.7 and magnatune [3].
The following two files contain all pairs of predicates that have been classified as synonymously interchangable by three computer scientists. Each line corresponds to a pair of synonym candidates.

News of the Weird
Lead Stories
*Since July the Totenko Chinese restaurant in Tokyo has been offering an all-you-can-eat luncheon buffet (that regularly costs sixteen dollars per person) to the first 30 diners each day at the price of about 30 cents per minute, measured by a time clock that diners punch when entering and exiting. Other restaurants have copied the idea in recession-torn Japan, according to a December Wall Street Journal report, and some have found that diners stay longer when alcoholic beverages are included on the per-minute menu.
*Tim Cridland, touring as Zamora the Torture King in an entertainment show in which he endures massive pain, told the Riverfront Times (St. Louis) in December that he broke from the Jim Rose Circus over "artistic differences." Among Zamora's feats: the traditional skewers through the cheeks and neck; swallowing swords and fire; jumping up and down barefoot on broken bottles; and his occasional piece de resistance, swallowing a length of twine, then having it removed from his stomach with a scalpel and forceps during onstage surgery.
*According to police in Lake City, Florida, in November, Felisha Ann Copeland, age 31, on learning that her ex-husband had a new girlfriend, dumped a pot of boiling grits in his lap while he was seated, naked, on the toilet of the home they shared. He suffered severe blistering. And in Middletown, Connecticut, in December, Raquel K. Husman, age 41, was charged with assault for allegedly slashing her ex-boyfriend's scrotum with her fingernails when she discovered him with another woman. He needed 24 stitches.
Latest Highway Truck Spills
*Among the cargo spilled in tractor-trailer accidents in 1998: twenty-five tons of pudding (West Virginia, September); 2000 cases of beer (Michigan, July); four tons of flour (Ontario, August); several tons of noodles, which expanded in the rain (Maryland, July); twenty tons of cheese, which caught fire (Wales, October); $45,000 in quarters (Illinois, June); 50,000 one-dollar bills (Kansas, November); 500,000 honeybees (Washington, October, and another four million in Wisconsin in November); twelve tons of garbage (Rhode Island, March); 6700 gallons of animal fat (Ohio, May); and 20,000 gallons of liquid detergent (elsewhere in Ohio, ten days later).

*In September red harvester ants in the soil at the Hanford nuclear complex near Richland, Washington, were found to be radioactive, as were flies and gnats swarming around ordinary garbage at Hanford the following month. Plant managers feared that additional contamination might be spread by mice, insects, and vegetation such as tumbleweeds. (An Associated Press report on Hanford in October reminded readers of the 1954 movie Them!, starring James Arness, in which "huge, marauding ants are spawned by nuclear experiments.")
The Weirdo-American Community
*Tyrone V. Henry, age 26, was arrested in September in Tucson, Arizona, and charged with possession of child pornography. Police said they were led to Henry's home after six female University of Arizona students complained that a man supposedly conducting a test of facial cream used a substance they say tasted like semen. Police, however, said they do not have enough evidence to charge Henry on the face-cream-testing charges.

Couched by housing
If you want to witness the collateral damage from the housing debacle, just visit your local home furnishing shop.
Well, that is, if it's still open.
Home-slump-weary shoppers are hammering the furniture and furnishing business with their absence. That's put several big name retailers either into bankruptcy or out of business.
Here's a quick sample:
- Levitz, once a furniture industry giant with five O.C. stores, is all but closed.
- Bombay, the quirky furnishings chain with five O.C. locations, is gone, too.
- Wickes, a West Coast furniture fixture with two O.C. stores, is in bankruptcy and faces liquidation.
And it's not just giant chains, either. For example: A two-store chain called Kids Factory, in Orange and San Clemente, has closed, too.
Blame falls on an abrupt cut in furniture shopping, a niche where purchases are rarely imperative. The slump left numerous merchants vulnerable in a competitive trade with modest margin for error.
How slow is it? Nationwide, the Census Bureau says furniture and furnishing store sales grew just 1 percent last year, the worst showing since the recession-scarred and terrorism-titled year of 2001. And, to be extra cruel, 2008 started with furniture sales off at a 4 percent annual pace in January.
Good local data is harder to get. The state's sales tax count is woefully late, but it still shows poor momentum.
For 2006 - yes, 2006 - statewide furniture and furnishing store sales were up 1.5 percent vs. 7.1 percent growth back in 2005. (Remember the good old days?) In Orange County, similar store sales in 2006 were down 2 percent after rising 7.5 percent in '05.
Mike Pierce of the National Home Furnishings Association trade group, whose members own about 10,000 stores nationwide, was pretty blunt about the situation: "Business is bad. Almost every day we hear of another retailer going out of business."
These merchants say they're victims of a real estate double whammy that compounds a challenging economic climate.
Home sales, which typically motivate plenty of furnishing buys from a new owner, are in the dumps. Sales of O.C. homes, for example, are off half from their recent peak.
To make matters worse - whether through falling home values or skittish lenders - current homeowners are finding it tricky to borrow against their home equity.
Basically, there's not a lot of cash - or motivation - to furniture shop.
"If you need a car, you need to buy one. If you need a sofa, you can wait a month, you can wait a year," says Ross Steiner, marketing exec with the 10-store Linder's Furniture chain from Garden Grove that's trying to dodge the slowdown.
A growing roster of furniture players multiplies the trouble. Furniture specialists now must compete with each other plus the likes of Wal-Mart, Target, Costco and even Big Lots. And, there are online sellers, too.
Jimmy Hsieh, owner of the Easy Life Furniturechain from Buena Park, says sales at his 13-store chain were off 6 percent last year. And this year, to date, it's been equally tough with customers needing "two or three visits" to decide on purchases.
"With the housing market, it's definitely a trickle-down effect," says Hsieh's sister, Nancy, Easy Life's marketing exec. "Money is tight. People aren't spending it."
So what does this prime example of housing-relating fallout mean?
For sure, little chance of a quick turnaround in overall furnishing sales. Surviving merchants, at least, can hope to pick up market share.
It won't be pretty. The NHFA trade group's furniture-buying index for February fell below a critical weakness level that was last seen in November 2001. NHFA's Pierce says he hears talk in his industry of a burgeoning rebound by year's end, but he thinks "that's just wishful thinking."
Easy Life's Hsieh thinks stores controlling at least 20 percent of the region's furniture sales have already closed. "And I don't think this is the bottom of it."
To be fair, economist Mark Schniepp of the California Forecast says furniture-sales weakness is expected in a slow housing climate. And since other retailers seem to be doing "decent," as he put it, he's not too worried that real estate's ills would spread dangerously far in this region.
To date.
"Certainly housing is causing a lot of problems, but the problems to date in Southern California are not derailing the economy," Schniepp says. "It's a slowdown. And a slowdown often feels like a recession, depending on what sector you work in."
But a sign of the times - "Going Out Of Business Sale" - certainly isn't a heart-warming economic signal to the masses.
Unless, like a vulture, you sense a shopper's opportunity in the corporate carcasses. (Psst! Many "liquidation" sales aren't great bargains.)

Cold air was still blowing out of the rear vents but has since stopped and just blows warm air out of those and no air out the front. Seemed to notice an occasional single clicking noise coming from what seemed like the back seat before this started.

This property is just 5 mins from the coastal town of Celle Ligure and is perched on the side of the hills looking down the valley. A little difficult to find (the sign had disintegrated) as the GPS was telling me to go off road and the only way was down. The GPS coords were absolutely accurate (to 6 decimal places). Marble floors, lovely host and a house with an interesting history. The view from my bedroom was spectacular. Lovely breakfast with freshly made espresso - very welcome after a week in france. Incredible value.
