Market-Modelled Home Care: Impact on Job Satisfaction and Propensity to Leave
Responding to increasing health-care costs, deficit financing and the aging of the population, many OECD nations are exploring new cost-efficient health-care models. One such model, designed to manage the homebased health-care system through the application of quasi-market principles has been adopted by the province of Ontario. Findings from a case study of 835 Ontario home-care workers indicate that a market-modelled approach to health-care restructuring may be leading to decreased levels of job satisfaction and a greater propensity to leave among workers in the home-care sector.

Michael Fairchild said he had it all planned out. He wanted to wait two to three more weeks, keeping one eye open to other schools, before he committed to Missouri.
He told as much to PowerMizzou.com on Thursday, May 9. Three days later, Fairchild committed to the Tigers, becoming the eight commitment in the 2014 class.
So what changed? Was there a moment of lucidity, an epiphany over the weekend that made the 6-foot-6, 265-pound tackle from Blue Valley West realize there was no need to wait to commit?
Not quite.
"I kind of lied to you," Fairchild said with a playful laugh. "I already knew I was going to commit today."
One thing Fairchild didn't lie about, however, was the manner in which he would commit. He simply called his recruiting coach, Andy Hill, and then broke the news to him, co-offensive line coach Bruce Walker and head coach Gary Pinkel.
While all three coaches were excited, Fairchild said Walker's response stood out to him.
"He said, 'I knew you were smart, but now I think you're a genius,'" Fairchild said.
Now, in a banner year for talent in the state of Kansas, Fairchild said he'll turn his attention to recruiting other athletes to Missouri.
Fairchild is Missouri's eighth commitment, and the second offensive lineman to commit to the Tigers.

Kuwait - Overview
To make a call from: 0
To make a call to: +965
Economic overview
Thanks to the increases in the price per barrel of oil and the increase in production, Kuwait's financial health in the coming years is guaranteed, with budget surpluses of about 25% (30% in 2013). The country grew by 2.5% in 2013 (after 6.2% in 2012).
The income from the country's oil allows to fuel a particularly generous welfare system (automatic access to public employment, artificial maintenance of public prices and prices of basic products at a very low level, high subsidies for home-buyers, generous medical insurance, etc.). However oil production is nearing its full capacity and this is impacting on a slowing down growth.
Despite its economic and financial health, Kuwait wants to move from a rentier economy to a more open and diverse economy. The authorities are also concerned about the enlarged public sector, built on and funded by oil revenues, the limits of which are already being felt in terms of job creation and investment.
Main industries
With 100 billion barrels of oil in reserve (i.e. 9% of the world's total and representing 100 years of production), the country's industry is based on oil exploitation. Income from this sector represents more than half of GDP and more than 90% of exports, i.e. more than 95% of the country's income. By 2030, Kuwait is also planning to invest more than USD 87 billion in the oil sector, especially in creating new oil refineries. The indusrty sector has represented 50.6% of the GDP in 2013 and employed 22% of the active population.
The non-oil sector is dominated by services, mostly real estate and financial services, which were relatively hit by the financial crisis. The sector represents 49.1% of the GDP and employs 77% of the active population.
For further information, consult the "Doing Business in Kuwait" guide by the National Bank of Kuwait.
Foreign trade overview
Representing almost all export earnings of the country and almost two-thirds of the GDP in 2013, the Kuwaiti oil (10% of world reserves) is sold mostly to Asian countries. Significant reserves of non-associated gas were discovered in the north of the country. Their exploitation, due to start shortly, should cover the needs of local consumption (power generation, desalination of sea water ...) and generate a portion of oil production for export.
Kuwait's largest suppliers in 2013 have been the United States, China, Saudi Arabia and India. Imports from other Gulf countries have increased since the introduction of the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council). The main products imported are cars, agricultural and food products, as well as mechanical industrial products, electric and electronic products.
Kuwait's exports quadrupled since 2002. Exports of crude oil and refined products accounted for 94% of the total in 2013, the remaining amount consisting of re-exports, mainly of machinery and transportation equipment. Kuwait's main clients are the Asian countries, especially Japan, South Korea, and China but also the United States and India. The trade balance of Kuwait is largely positive due to the high prices of oil.
After a sharp slow down in 2011, the FDI influx towards Koweït is on the increase since then and totalled USD 1.8 billion in 2013.
Kuwait has always been a country open to foreign investment and with the introduction of new laws in recent years, the country is even more open to foreign capital. In early 2003, a new law for FDI came into force. It allows 100% foreign ownership in a number of sectors. This law also makes available a number of tax breaks and other benefits which can attract new investors who in return must guarantee a set of quotas regarding the employment of Kuwaiti nationals.
A number of decisions has been taken since, allowing the opening of the stock market to non-Kuwaiti, the presence of foreign operators in the petrochemical industry and the entry of foreign banks in the country. A law on taxation of foreign companies (which decreased the maximum rate of tax on profits made by foreign companies, with the exception of investment earnings, from 55 to 15%), was adopted in January 2008. Although the opening of oil fields in the North to international oil companies seems blocked, broadening participation through "strengthened" technical agreements is being considered. Legislation on free zones and BOTs (January 2009) and on creating an independent stock market regulator (January 2010) also contributed to a more favorable environment for international investment, both financial and direct.
The current policy to promote FDI focuses on a number of sectors which can benefit most from foreign investment and expertise. In 2014, these include infrastructure investment such as water, waste-water treatment, power, and communications. Kuwait also tries to promote investment in the banking and financial sectors: investment aid, insurance, information technology and software development. Investment in hospitals and pharmaceuticals is also favored. Authorities are also keen to attract foreign capital into other sectors such as land and sea freight, tourism, real estate and urban development.
Information on the 2013 FDI influx in this region can be accessed in the Global Investment Trade Monitor published in January 2014 by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).

Saif turns to realistic cinema!
Saif Ali Khan has enjoyed a good run at the box office lately. His maiden home production, Love Aaj Kal was a certified hit and his jodi with Deepika Padukone was well-received. Though Kurbaan didn't do as well, his performance was highly appreciated. And then came the icing on the cake – the Padmashri award! It was a commendable achievement. Of late though, he has been written about more for his relationship with the stunning Bebo rather than his work. He hopes to change that in the upcoming year.

Public transport is so ubiquitous with London that the famous double-decker red buses and the Underground have become synonymous with the city, which is why tourists may be interested in attending the London Transport Museum.
Located in the heart of Covent Garden, ideal for visitors staying in Montcalm Hotels London, the museum offers the chance to explore the history of the iconic transport systems of the city as well as gain a glimpse into its future.
History buffs can delve into the Victorian transport system, which was transformed in 1829 when a new type of horse-drawn cab was invented that could navigate London's twisting streets and led to the creation of the first "hail and ride" bus system.
The museum then moves on to displays and talks on the development of the Underground, the world's first, with construction beginning in 1860.
People can see full-scale reproductions of the earliest Tube trains, which sported dark wood panelling and dark green cushioned seats.
Important developments such as the arrival of the car and bus as well as the growth of the city's suburban areas are also charted with walk through exhibits.
Additionally, visitors can learn about the conditions on the London Underground during the Second World War, which saw thousands of Brits make use of the deep tunnels as night-time shelters from bombing raids.
The aesthetics of London transport are also explored, with views on its impact on fashion and design as well as an exhaustive collection of posters from all eras.
"The black cab and red double deck bus are iconic symbols of London. They are recognised across the world," comments the museum.

Volunteers Needed to Map Iron Age Hillforts
Monday, July 08, 2013
OXFORD, ENGLAND—Citizen-scientists are asked to work together to map every Iron Age hill fort across Britain and Ireland for the Atlas of Hillforts, a project at the University of Oxford. There could be as many as 5,000 of these structures, but little is known about how they were used and how that use varied across the country. "We have found pottery, metalwork and evidence of domestic activities like spinning and weaving, also of agriculture, crops like wheat and barley and of keeping pigs, sheep and cattle," said Gary Lock of the University of Oxford. The hill forts may have been used as gathering places for market days or religious festivals, rather than as military outposts. Volunteers are asked to share the information they collect by filling out a form on the project's website. The maps will eventually be available to the public.

"…Three cheers were here given for the President and the Governors of the States…"
This rare first day of publication newspaper contains Lincoln's timeless embodiment of American ideals on page 4. This printing from November 20, a day after the speech, includes Edward Everett's entire speech, and a report on the ceremonies. Mercifully, the afternoon paper adjusts two widely reported textual errors—one in Associated Press versions, and the other in a competing Boston newspaper from earlier that day.

EDITORIAL COMMENTARY on the GETTYSBURG ADDRESS. Newspaper, Boston Evening Transcript, Boston, November 21, 1863. 4 pp., 17½ x 23 in.
Partial Transcript
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. (Applause.) Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle field of that war; we are met to dedicate a portion of it as the final resting place of those who have given their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this, but in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men living and dead who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. (Applause.) The world will note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. (Applause). It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work that they have thus far so nobly carried on. (Applause). It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in vain (applause); that the nation shall, under God, have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people by the people and for the people, shall not perish from the earth. (Long continued applause.)
Three cheers were here given for the President and the Governors of the States…"
The AP version of Lincoln's speech was the most widely distributed first-day printing of the text. However, many other newspapers had reporters in the field. Charles Hale, who worked for a competing Boston newspaper, the Daily Advertiser, was an eyewitness copyist at Gettysburg. His newspaper published a morning edition that differed from the AP version, and despite his careful account, the paper nevertheless introduced two unique errors to the text. The Daily Advertiser omitted the word "little" before "note" and changed "forget" to "forbid" in the line: "The world will [little] note nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forbid [forget] what they did here."
Neither the Boston Daily Advertiser nor the Boston Evening Transcript used the AP's text, because both papers correctly quoted Lincoln as saying the nation had "unfinished work" instead of the AP's "refinished work." However, it appears that the Evening Transcript used some of the morning paper's copy, because while correctly printing the much more sensible "forget" in place of "forbid," the afternoon paper still left out the word "little" in exactly the same place. Other than that, the text from these two competing newspapers is nearly exact, except for a few commas. Ultimately, the speed with which first-day printings were produced, as well as the vagaries of nineteenth-century communications, produced many slightly unique versions of Lincoln's words.
Additional differences between this and other versions of the text include:

BALTIMORE — Lumpy, bumpy and hopelessly old-fashioned, the oatmeal cookie lacks any semblance of foodie cred. Panache? Style? Decadence? Oatmeal cookies have none of that.
But its very plainness and humble stance could explain the reason people seem to love oatmeal cookies a teensy bit more than all the rest. America, it seems, loves an underdog. Even in a cookie.
At Family Circle magazine, where an oatmeal cookie recipe has swept every Presidential Cookie Bake-Off (a rating of cookie recipes from the spouses of presidential candidates) since the contest's inception in 1992, folks know very well the power of simple pleasures.
"Everyone loves chocolate chip, but oatmeal definitely has more of a homey, homemade, from-the-heart quality to it," says Julie Miltenberg, the magazine's senior food editor. "With the way the economy is going . . . people would rather snuggle up with a traditional favorite than try something new."
According to the Food Timeline Web site, oatmeal cookies did not appear in cookbooks until the 20th century. But the culinary ancestors of the modern oatmeal cookie are ancient "bannocks" (chewy biscuitlike oat cookies) and British oatcakes. And the habit of adding raisins, nuts and spices can be traced to the Middle Ages.
For Tom Schwartz of Melbourne, Fla., oatmeal "hockey pucks" are the childhood snack he remembers from growing up in post-Depression Brooklyn.
Schwartz bakes his pucks almost every week. Like his mother who made them for him, he loves that they're affordable and recession-friendly and that he can feel good about feeding them to his grandchildren.
"If you want to give your children snacks between meals," he says, "there's nothing better to give them than something with oatmeal in it."
Joanne Miller of Westminster, Md., readily admits that her relationship with oatmeal cookies, which she used to find dry and bland, is not a long-standing one. But in the few years she has made her spicy iced oatmeal cookies, they've become a family favorite with her husband and grandchildren.
Her recipe brings a definite sophistication, if not outright elegance, to the familiar cookie. It's partly the nuts, raisins and spices, but mainly the luscious brown-butter drizzle
"If you want something special, this is so worth the time," says Miller, who has made it her go-to cookie recipe for any season. "Everywhere I go, people love it," she says. "Everybody wants the recipe."
Here are their recipes to try. Both capture that "homemade, from-the-heart" quality.

The South African, who has spent six years as managing director of Microsoft UK, has been appointed chief operating officer of the computer giant's Greater China operation, which also includes Hong Kong and Taiwan.
His move comes as part of a management shake-up aimed at bolstering its presence in the region.
Sources close to Mr Frazer said his move was a "reward for doing a good job in the UK". However, other Microsoft insiders said he had been dealt a bad hand in the reshuffle.
The South African-born executive will do a direct job swap with Michael van der Bel and report to Ralph Haupter, formerly head of Microsoft Germany, who has effectively overtaken him to take the top job in China.
Mr Haupter is replacing Simon Leung who has quit as chief executive for "personal and family reasons".
During his six-year stint in the UK, Mr Frazer was influential in calling for closer cooperation between business and higher education.
However, his tenure was blighted by a high profile court case which lifted the lid on alleged sexual harassment and a culture of boozing.
The case, which was brought by former Microsoft executive, Simon Negus, accused Mr Frazer of jumping the gun and trying to oust Mr Negus over alleged sexual harassment before a formal investigation into his behaviour had ended.
The case was settled and all charges dropped. However, it exposed an apparent culture of "excessive drunkenness" and lewd behaviour at Microsoft, causing severe embarrassment in the upper echelons of the business and denting morale at its UK arm.
In an internal email seen by The Sunday Telegraph, Mr Frazer acknowledged there had been "a few lows" during his tenure, but said he still regarded the UK division as Microsoft's "crown jewel" outside America.
"While there have been many highs as well as a few lows, our journey over this time in which we can all *Take Pride* [sic]," he wrote.

Lake George Winter Carnival 2017
Ice Status: (2/21/2017) - Although there is a thin layer of ice on Lake George in the southern basin, the lake will be unsafe for any on-ice activities this weekend. However, there will be plenty of activities happening on land!
Weekends In February Are Winter Carnival Time!
Lake George Village offers a month-long celebration of winter during this annual family-friendly festival! The Winter Carnival takes place each weekend throughout February, so mark your calendar now and get ready to take part in the fun.
Relish the warmth of tasty samples during the chowder, chili, BBQ, and chicken wing cook-offs. Enjoy the always hilarious and fun outhouse races - a crowd pleasing favorite - as well as ATV, snowmobile races and more!

What Happens If There's No Ice?
Although Lake George is usually frozen solid by February, there are some years (like 2016) when mild temperatures cause the ice to be unsafe for the Winter Carnival's normal activities.

Why Gawker honored news blackout for James Foley but not Richard Engel
Gawker reporter Adrian Chen found out in December that journalist James Foley was missing in Syria but didn't report on his disappearance "at the request of Foley's family and the GlobalPost," he writes.
Gawker reported NBC correspondent Richard Engel was missing in Syria because, reporter John Cook wrote, "No one told me anything that indicated a specific, or even general, threat to Engel's safety."
"Engel's disappearance had already been widely reported in Turkish media and on Twitter when we reported it," Chen writes, "rendering any 'blackout' pointless. But in Foley's case the blackout was in full effect and I personally didn't feel comfortable breaking it, especially after speaking with Foley's mother."
Chen raises an interesting point in his report about Foley:
A source I spoke to within the community of foreign journalists at the border of Turkey and Syria mentioned that Foley had been kidnapped weeks earlier. He was upset that the news of Foley's kidnapping had been blacked out, reasoning that if it was public knowledge perhaps Engel and his team wouldn't have risked venturing into the same area to be kidnapped themselves.
I've asked NBC for comment on that last point.

UPI reporter Ed Adamczyk writes that MIT was named to the number five spot in U.S. News & World Report's 2018 best college rankings. "Factors for the rankings include graduation and retention rates, surveys of college officials and high school counselors, faculty funding, and selectivity in admissions," Adamczyk explains.
A new study by Prof. Daniel Rothman provides evidence that by 2100 the world's oceans may hold enough carbon to trigger a sixth mass extinction, reports Alyssa Meyers for The Boston Globe. Rothman found that if, "310 gigatons of carbon dioxide are added to the oceans, it could be a crucial tipping point for the carbon cycle."
Rana el Kaliouby, co-founder of MIT spinoff Affectiva, speaks to Asma Khalid from WBUR's Bostonomix about her company's work making tech devices that are more emotionally intelligent. "We envision a world where our devices and our technologies are emotional wear," says el Kaliouby. "They can sense and respond to your emotions in real time in a way that makes the interaction more positive."
Prof. Feng Zhang has been awarded the Lemelson-MIT Prize, reports Sharon Begley for STAT. Zhang was honored for his, "track record of innovations and of coming up with big ideas that change fields," explains Prof. Michael Cima, faculty director of the award. "Zhang is one of those individuals who move through groups of talented people sparking new ideas."
Prof. Kerry Emanuel writes for The Washington Post about how climate change and U.S. disaster policies are threat-multipliers for natural disasters like hurricanes. "The confluence of rising sea levels and stronger and wetter hurricanes with increasing coastal population and unwise government interference in insurance markets portends ever increasing hurricane disasters."
Senior Lecturer Ken Urban speaks with HuffPost reporter Michael Levin about the burgeoning theater program at MIT. "There is a lot of institutional support for the arts in all of its forms at MIT and I think it's because that process of being creative and realizing that it's super-important for engineers," says Urban.
A new study by MIT researchers examines how people who speak different languages describe colors, reports Zach Zorich for Science. The researchers found that, "the ability to describe colors isn't as rooted in our biology as many scientists thought. And that means that language development may be far more rooted in our culture than in how we literally see the world."

Half-Life: Blue Shift
Review by solaris32
"The weakest of the Half-Life games, but more Half-Life is always good."
This is a standalone expansion of the original Half-Life, and the second and final expansion. I recommend everyone plays this first after Half-Life and before Opposing Force for various reasons I will explain. The ratings and my feelings of this expansion are gauged in relation to the first Half-Life.
You play as Barney Calhoun, security guard. You are actually the security guard you see banging on the door at the very beginning of Half-Life, pretty cool how it's all linked. You experience the events of the resonance cascade but at different parts of the facility. Your main goal is to escape with the scientists. The story actually isn't bad, but it ends kind of abruptly and feels like there should have been a little more.
These are the same graphics as the original Half-Life which is both good and bad. The good part is it all looks the same and this expansion came with an HD pack for all the original Half-Life games. The bad part is that when this game came out in 2001 the graphics were starting to look dated even for the time. This isn't a big deal to me as I enjoy the graphics (with the HD pack).
The sound is the same as Half-Life. Not changing the alien sounds is fine, but I would've liked some new voices for the guards and scientists. Although there is a new voice for a certain scientist, that's it.
The weapon system works the same as Half-Life but you get a fewer selection of weapons to play with and no new ones. This is very disappointing.
You see a return of nearly all of the enemies from Half-Life, but that's it. There is nothing new which is again disappointing.
This is the only part where this game lives up to Half-Life. The level design is very similar and the few puzzles and situations where you must figure out what to do are very fun. And you get to revisit my favorite level!
This game is extremely short, clocking in at 2 hours, 2 and a half if you play on hard and take your time like I did. Still, it is fun to play as Barney and re-experiencing the levels in a future playthrough is certainly viable.
The game is good and well made, but rushed and without any real new content. You should play this before Opposing Force because if you play it after you will be disappointed expecting this to at least be on the level of content of Opposing Force. If you liked Half-Life, this is still a must play.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

Since the terrorist attacks of September 11th, there has been an overwhelming demand for information about Islam, and recent events - the war in Iraq, terrorist attacks both failed and successful, debates throughout Europe over Islamic dress, and many others - have raised new questions in the minds of policymakers and the general public. This newly updated edition of What Everyone Needs to Know about Islam is the best single source for clearly presented, objective information about these new developments, and for answers to questions about the origin and traditions of Islam. Editor of The Oxford Encyclopedia of Modern Islam and The Oxford History of Islam, and author of The Future of Islam and many other acclaimed works, John L. Esposito is one of America's leading authorities on Islam. This brief audiobook remains the first place to look for up-to-date information on the faith, customs, and political beliefs of the more than one billion people who call themselves Muslims.
©2011 Oxford University Press, Inc (P)2014 Audible Inc.
"Fairly flat and superficial - expected more"
The book is set up as a long series of Frequently Asked Questions - sadly, the answers don't extend beyond the typical FAQ format either. It is a very basic bird's eye view of some of the history, religious tenets and practices in Islam.
Given Professor Esposito's resume, I was hoping for a deeper and more coherent religious and sociological perspective. Instead, he remains at the very surface of belief and history.
In addition, he weaves in a steady undercurrent of perhaps necessary, but just very tired-sounding affirmations of the peacefulness of Islam and of the overwhelming majority of those who practice it. That's all well and good, and probably can't be said often enough (even within a single book), but that can't be ALL everyone needs to know about Islam? I, for one, would like to know more.
(Perhaps this is just not meant to be an audiobook... the questions do not build on each other very much, so a lot of information is repeated in various spots. Maybe a good book to have on the shelf for the odd Islam question that might come up, not a very satisfying listen though.)
"Informative 101 Material"
I did not read the print edition.
There is not a story to change. It is a non-fiction book in question and answer format.
The presentation was very matter-of-fact.
I was not particularly moved, however I did learn about Islam.
This book describes the main tenents of Islam. The book does tend to make the argument that all of the extremist violence that the world has seen from Islam is the result of misinterpretation. I tend to agree with that premise. However, probably to understand the faith more completely, one should probably read the Quoran. No immediate plan to do that.
"Fantastic piece about a beautiful religion"
Absolutely. It is rare to find an unbiased look at Islam, but John Esposito nailed it. Was incredibly impressed.
No God But God
"Good for insomnia"
Neil Shah's reading voice is drone-like, the text itself is not at all what I expected. I wanted to gain an understanding of Islam to be able to draw comparisons, to understand why the world is the way it is (e.g. extremist views on one side vs. extremist views on another side). None of this is gleaned. I tried to get on with this book several times, but finally gave up. Its just so dull, dull, dull, dull, dull. Zzzzz.

Dorothy Lavern Norman, 86, joined a host of family and friends in Heaven on June 15, 2012.
She was born Oct. 14, 1925 in the Bodum area to Walter and Violet (Lindell) Reichel. She grew up in various parts of Isanti County in an outgoing extended family. Dorothy graduated from Cambridge High School in 1944 and later attended Bethel College. While working at the Day Store she met the love of her life, a studious farmer named, Lester Norman. The couple married at Dalbo Baptist Church and settled on the Norman farmstead near Day. The couple attended Lewis Lake Covenant Church and the activities of the church's Homebuilders group provided much fellowship. Three children were born; David, Daryl and Brenda.
Eventually, Dorothy began to work in the rest home in Braham managed by her mother. Later, Lester and Dorothy worked for many years at the Cambridge State Hospital. During that time they bought her parents home near Isanti. After Lester's death in 1995, Dorothy continued to live in the home until her recent illness. She remained active. She enjoyed God's Word and spending time with family and friends. She drove as long as possible, often going out to eat with her much-loved grandson, Jason. Her mind remained active-always interested in newscasts and the Twins. Dorothy enjoyed watching birds and taking care of her flowers. Even after travel was difficult, she enjoyed her bird figurines and kerosene lamps. The lamps symbolized the way she brightened the lives of those around her with her positive attitude, even in the last weeks.
Dorothy is survived by her son, David; grandson, Jason; sister, Lucille King; brother, Will (Lorraine) Reichel; brother-in-law, Delbert Lindquist; aunt, Viola Reichel and many other relatives and friends. Among those going to Heaven before her, were her parents; husband, Lester; children, Daryl and Brenda; sister, Eleanor Lindquist; three brothers, Vernard, Wallace and Bob and wife Bev Reichel; brothers-in-law, Donald King and Garrit Byker; and sisters-in-law, Doris Byker and Marian Niemann.
The family is thankful for the prayers and support from churches and individuals, especially since Thanksgiving of 2010. Special thanks to her long-time friend, Ethel Hall, for making Dorothy's last day on earth special and to her dear young friend, Nicky Arrett, for his prayers and for his caring heart.
Funeral services were held on Wednesday, June 20 at North Isanti Baptist Church in Cambridge with Pastors Steve Anderson and Adrian Sundberg officiating. The soloist was Dale King and Darlene Fixell served as pianist. Pallbearers were Dewey Lindquist, Bill Rohr, Brad and Mark Reichel. Interment was in Lewis Lake Memorial Gardens Cemetery.

Eric de la Clergerie is Program Chair. Laurence Danlos is in charge of local arrangements. The invited speakers are John Carroll, Mark Johnson and Joakim Nivre.
Following ACL's recommendations, over the past two years, SIGPARSE took some organizational action to ensure that it is fully complient with the ACL guidelines for SIGs. In 2007 a constitution was formulated, and approved both by the membership and the ACL board. In Spring 2008 elections for the SIGPARSE board were held, for the first time in the history of SIGPARSE. Alon Lavie was elected to the position of President, replacing Harry Bunt, who had been acting as SIGPARSE chair since 1993. John Carroll was elected to the position of secretary, and Harry Bunt and Kenji Sagae were elected as information officers. Kenji Sagae has the duty of maintaining the SIGPARSE website and mailing list.
SIGPARSE maintains a website that contains information about the SIG, upcoming activities, and instructions for joining the membership and the mailing list. The website address is: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~sigparse/

There are an ever-increasing number of commentary series being published. Each series has its own purpose and implied audience, whether lay people, students, pastors, or scholars. As a general rule, it is better to pick individual commentaries rather than purchase an entire series, since each series contain some "duds."

Refinancing now is generally a wonderful idea as jumbo loans are back to all time lows in 2016 due to all the volatility in the stock market post Brexit. That said, what happens if you are so underwater on your mortgage that you feel it doesn't make sense to continue paying anymore because you don't think value will ever recover? Banks have become so annoyingly stubborn regarding allowing underwater homeowners to refinance, that you might have a better way.
Have you ever wondered why there have been so many foreclosures in states such as California, Arizon, and Nevada? I'll tell you. If you live in one of the 12 "non-recourse" states of Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Idaho, Minnesota, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington you are potentially in luck! If you so happen to own property in one of these states, and have substantial assets elsewhere, you can legally hand over the keys to the bank and exonerate yourself from the mortgage with no penalty against your other assets!

Application of pulsed power generated high power ultrasound to waste comminution and the recovery of metals
Wilson, M.P. and Balmer, L. and Given, M.J. and MacGregor, S.J. and Mackersie, J.W. and Timoshkin, I. (2005) Application of pulsed power generated high power ultrasound to waste comminution and the recovery of metals. In: IEE Pulsed Power Symposium 2005, 2005-09-08.Full text not available in this repository. Request a copy from the Strathclyde author
The disposal of waste materials is an increasing burden on industry across the world. In order to address this problem, the development of viable technologies and recycling paths is required. Often it is necessary to process waste to reduce its size (comminution) or to allow the recovery of high value components entrapped in waste. This paper describes the application of high power ultrasound (HPU), generated using pulsed power techniques, to two waste products: glass and stainless steel slag.

Quito, Ecuador
The Metropolitan Municipal District of Quito (MDMQ), is promoting construction of these mega-works, that will become the vertebrating axis of the "Integrated Passenger Transport System" in the city, the total investment of which is estimated at USD 1,540,000,000. In national resources, the works are financed by four international investment banks.
The works commenced in April 2016 and the Metro is expected to be in operation at the end of 2019. Supervision of these major works cover both civil works as well as supplies and assembly.
Operating Areas
Montevideo, Uruguay
The National Administration of Power Plants and Electric Transmissions (UTE) of Uruguay has entrusted Ayesa with providing a cloud management service for its new maintenance fleet consisting of 40 ELECTRIC VEHICLES, as well as the management of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE). This fleet currently comprises 40 electric vehicles, which will soon be reinforced with another 40 vehicles.
The service chosen for the GPS tracking and management of the electric vehicle fleet is the ZEFleet (Zero Emissions Fleet) platform developed by Ayesa.
Operating Areas
Borkum (Germany)
The NETFFICIENT R&D project demonstrates the energy and economic efficiency that energy storage technologies offer Smart Cities, integrating these technologies in a real electrical grid, and taking advantage of synergies between them and distributed generation, smart grid and citizens.
Seville [ES]
The project will be developed in the same scenario and with the same participants as the SmartCity Malaga project
The main objective of the project is to develop a suite of monitoring and diagnostic tools for distribution networks (MV and LV), similar to those traditionally used in high-voltage networks (HV). So far, this real-time monitoring and diagnosis has only been performed in high-voltage networks; the proposal is to also deploy these capabilities in medium and low-voltage networks.
Operating Areas
As one of the products of the E3MEL research projects, Ayesa has been able to offer Endesa electricity meter data management (MDM) projects based on ready-to-market OPEN-SOURCE BigData products, allowing it to comply fully with the regulatory changes that have been introduced in Spain in connection with customer billing based on hourly measurements of domestic consumers through Smart-metering.
Algeciras (Cádiz) [ES]
This is an Applied research project that aims to research, develop and demonstrate the technological physical parameters and algorithms necessary to increase the efficiency of port processes that have a significant physical footprint, enriching them with new data on real everyday situations in the port through the development of a SmartCity Platform applied to Port Processes.
City of Panama (Tocumen)
A consortium headed by Ayesa is responsible for the supervision of the design and construction of a new passenger terminal, of the highest level in the world, with unique architecture, projected by Foster&Partners, as well as all of its associated infrastructures (accesses, aircraft parking platform and control tower). These works will require an investment of over 800 million dollars, the greatest airport investment currently being executed in Latin America.
Operating Areas
Spanning 15.9 kilometres with 26 stops and stations that will serve the entire metropolitan area, Granada's light railway is currently one of Spain's major railway projects. Ayesa has been entrusted with the installations for the communications systems and the workshop equipment.

Syracuse Orange field hockey is back in the Final Four

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - For the second time in program history, Syracuse field hockey (19-2) is heading to the Final Four after defeating Penn State (18-4), 5-2, in the NCAA quarterfinals at the Penn State Field Hockey Complex on Sunday.
The Orange will play No. 1 North Carolina (22-1) in the national semifinals on Nov. 16 in Norfolk, Va. No. 2 Princeton (18-1) and No. 6 Maryland (18-5) meet in the other semifinal.
Jordan Page scored two goals to lead the offense, while the defense, led by Leann Stiver
season-high 13 saves, fought off 15 Nittany Lion penalty corners, 11 of which came in the second half.
"I'm just so proud for this team collectively and these seniors," head coach Ange Bradley said. "This is their moment. They listened to a gameplan, they executed, and they wanted something. They played so inspired today." Syracuse advances to its second Final Four in program history, both coming under the leadership of Bradley, now in her sixth season.
The other appearance came in 2008 and this is the first time the Orange has ever won two games in the NCAA Tournament away from home. The Orange took control early, scoring the first half's only two goals. Gillian Pinder struck first in the 19th minute, driving home a rebound for her 10th of the year, followed by Page's goal off an Emma Russell assist with 4:52 left in the half. The Nittany Lions came out strong in the second half, drawing nine penalty corners in the first 20 minutes, with Whitney Reddig making it a 2-1 game with her fifth of the season with 18:54 to go. Liz McInerney struck back for the Orange just over two minutes later, scoring her seventh of the season off a pass fromAlyssa Manley, making it 3-1 with 16:42 left. Page then tacked on her second of the game and eighth of the season with 14:37 left off an assist from McInerney, making it 4-2. Iona Holloway removed all doubt with 5:46 to go, knocking in the rebound of a Kelsey Millman shot for the back's second of the season, giving Syracuse a 5-1 lead. Reddig scored her second of the game and sixth of the season for Penn State with 2:24 to go, before the Orange killed off the remaining time to win, 5-2.

New to Azure. So let me understand... I can connect using SSMS, but really most of the management features don't work? I want to move a database copy to the 'cloud'... (1) use Azure dashboard to add accessing IP to firewall, (2) create database
using Azure dashboard, (3) from application server (on site) use SSMS to connect to Azure SQL, (4) from onsite server use SSMS find database and right click to restore a recent image.. Nope.
Is this an easy process using SQL Azure databases or is it really involve setting up other storage, exporting a database, moving to the Azure storage, creating an overwrite copy of the existing database using the image moved to Azure storage?
I'm sorry to say there's no easy solution. A typical way of doing this is to use one of the SQL Azure migration tools on codeplex. It is basically a simple interface that ports a schema into Azure SQL Database then bcp's the data.
Backups just don't exist in Azure SQL Database at the moment. You get point in time restore options, and database copying and exporting, but nothing like the nice on-premise backup facility.

Trade policy and wage inequality: evidence from Indian manufacturing
Purpose - There has been a period of slow but a steady increase in wage inequality in the Indian manufacturing sector since the mid-1980s, which has gone hand-in-hand with an increase in the relative employment of skilled workers across all industries in the same period. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the co-movement of relative employment and wages of skilled workers can be attributed to the changes in trade policy that has occurred in the Indian economy since the mid-1980s. Design/methodology/approach - The two dominant theoretical perspectives on why trade reforms lay lead to wage inequality are Heckscher–Ohlin theory and trade-induced skill-biased technological change (SBTC). The paper evaluates the applicability of these theoretical perspectives to the Indian case using disaggregated industry data from Findings - Evidence was found of the validity of both the two dominant theoretical perspectives on wage inequality to explain the co-movement in wage inequality and relative skill intensity in Indian manufacturing, with both variables increasing in the 1990s. Trade-induced technological progress has led to an increase in relative skill intensity and wage inequality within industries. At the same time, the decline in protection that seems to have occurred more in unskilled labour-intensive industries has led to a relative fall in the economy-wide return to unskilled labour relative to skilled labour. Therefore, trade reforms have led to a widening of wage gap between skilled and unskilled workers, and an increase in relative skill intensity in Indian manufacturing. Originality/value - The paper contributes to support of the trade-induced SBTC hypothesis which may provide a consistent explanation of why many countries in the south experienced increases in wage inequality with the onset of trade liberalisation.

Jayanta Mahapatra: A Study - Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey
Jayanta Mahapatra as a poet has so many sides and aspects of his poetic personality,
Many-sided and multi-dimensional,
What is he not
And his base not the base of literature
Of emotion and feeling,
Sentiment and sentimentality.
It's also a fact as there was none,
So his first venture too started getting a breakthrough
So smoothly
Otherwise the things are not,
Just the shorter pieces of verse,
Dealing with imagery, not meaning at all.
There are several moot points of his poetry,
Quite researchable,
Jayanta as a myth-maker, an imagist, a realist, a feminist,
A historicist,
A poet regional, national and international.
Jayanta is a poet of silence and quietude, but the myths private and personal
Disturb the peace of mind
And he gets swayed away,
A poet of selfish love,
Man-woman relationship
Seen on the pillars of the Konark Sun-temple,
The sculptures in erotic love-making.
And he mesmerizes it all, the sensual love and its gratification
With art, sculpture and philosophy,
Hunger, the hunger of the belly
And the hunger of the body,
A very coquettish and conceited poet.
His poems are also the lyrics of silence,
Silence captured and capsuled in,
And he dreaming, taking visionary glides,
Opening one door after another.
As a poet historical, he is very regional and cartographic
As he describes Orissa,
Its scenes and sites,
Temples and their architectural splendour;
Our rich heritage and culture.
He is national as for his grappling with the things
Of humanistic ordeals,
The taking of welfare works
Which we have not done for
The old men and the poor,
Women, children and widows.

text: I have to admit that the beginning was not easy because I felt that it was predicatable but as I read I felt in love- and hate with the characters. I am glad I gave the book a chance. I really wanted to read it because I had The New Yorkers by Cathleen Schine and loved it. This book is perfect for any book club, also and I will recommend it to mine. It has many themes and topics for discussion that I am sure my members will love to comment on!

The Integrated Development Environment for Laszlo now runs on Eclipse 3.1. You'll want to use the latest Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) and OpenLaszlo 3.0.2 releases.
It looks like Eclipse has finally released an all-in-one download for the 0.7 WTP, which is a welcome convenience for those of us who are tired of having to download five separate packages.

IDE4Laszlo Version 2
JohnFeller 110000RUW6 Tags:  laszlo 2 Comments 3,341 Views
There is a new release of the IDE for Laszlo on alphaWorks. It supports the latest OpenLaszlo 3.0 software and includes a neat WYSIWYG editing feature.
OpenLaszlo 3.0 let's you do more with your Laszlo applications, including improved XML handling and better and smaller standalone SWFs. See this Press Release for more info.
The WYSIWYG editing is extremely helpful when doing layout and fine-tuning your components. In fact, I know of a certain Programming Contest where this feature might come in handy...

Smallest Laszlo Footprint Contest
JohnFeller 110000RUW6 Tags:  laszlo 1 Comment 3,349 Views
Let's see how small we can make our Laszlo apps! Since a Laszlo contest for lowest LOC count would probably result in a lot of messy and collapsed code, why not have a contest for smallest UI footprint instead? There's no prizes yet, except for bragging rights. Here are the rules:
1. Add the width and height of your Laszlo app's main canvas, in pixels. Subtract 10 points for each different visible Laszlo component that is used. (For example, if you use two checkboxes they are counted once.) This is your score and we are aiming for lowest score.
2. To score, each Laszlo component used must be fully visible and clickable. Without going into a philosophical debate on what is the smallest component that is still a usable component, let's just say we want our components to look "nice" and still be recognizable. So if a tree component is used, it should have at least one node to expand and collapse, etc.
3. Scrollbars will be disallowed since they essentially give unlimited screen real-estate.
4. Try to color each component with a different color, so it is easily seen and differentiated.
5. Finally, the IDE for Laszlo will be used for its rapid prototyping and easy preview capabilities.
Here is my ridiculously easy to beat example:
<canvas height="85" width="15">
<simplelayout axis="y"/>
<text bgcolor="red">a</text>
<radiogroup bgcolor="green">
<button height="18" width="12" bgcolor="blue">b</button>
<checkbox bgcolor="yellow"></checkbox>
This app scores 60 points. The sum of canvas width and height gives 100 points, minus 40 points for 4 different components.
How low can we go? Will we see negative number scores? Hit the 'Comments' link to post your name and code entry.

Launch Day!
JohnFeller 110000RUW6 Tags:  opensource xml laszlo 1 Comment 3,831 Views
Today, the ETTK Portal has been launched. The Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Laszlo is a member of the ETTK family of technologies and I am struck by how many different things are touched on by this single technology. IDE for Laszlo sits at the intersection of such technologies as XML, Flash, JavaScript and Eclipse. Diverse concepts such as "open source", "rich internet application", and "rapid prototyping IDE" all apply to this one technology.
It seems that in a lot of ways, technologists themselves are also becoming more multi-dimensional over time. The label 'Jack of All Trades' is more the norm than the exception, I think, because people pick up such a myriad of skills. It would be interesting to learn how many different 'roles' a typical IDE for Laszlo user plays.
I would imagine many Laszlo users are hardcore scripters, perhaps JavaScript programmers. Another important role is that of a web page designer. Of course, it doesn't hurt to be a pretty decent graphic artist with an eye towards what 'looks good' on the web, too.
I wonder how many Flash programmers use IDE for Laszlo? Perhaps they are looking for an easier way to quickly create a rich client interface? But those hard-won Flash skills are not lost, since it is still possible to embed certain SWF files into a Laszlo application.
Another interesting role is that of an application server user. Laszlo applications can be deployed onto machines with a Laszlo Presentation Server (LPS). How many people are building data-driven Laszlo applications, perhaps using XML and a bit of server-side code?
How many roles do you play? Hit the 'Comments' link to post a reply. We'd love to hear from you.

IDE for Laszlo has graduated
JohnFeller 110000RUW6 Tags:  eclipse laszlo opensource 3,338 Views
The popular ETTK technology, IDE for Laszo, has graduated to an open source project on Eclipse. This is a tool for writing and testing browser-delivered applications written in the LZX declarative mark-up language. This is an example of how the ETTK shepherds and incubates new technologies that have the potential for significant impact, and moves the technology to the next step. That next step could be integration in to a product, creation of an open source project or additional research.

Faces for Laszlo
JohnFeller 110000RUW6 Tags:  laszlo 2,667 Views
Faces for Laszlo, a new ETTK technology, lets Laszlo controls and FacesClient components work together on a web page. This is done using a technology known as SDO4JS (Service Data Objects for JavaScript), which allows the data sharing between components on a page and can also reduce the number of client-server interactions that needs to take place. You can install Faces for Laszlo on RAD 6 and it comes with four code samples.

IDE4Laszlo Headed For Open Source
JohnFeller 110000RUW6 Tags:  laszlo eclipse opensource 3,129 Views
The Integrated Development Environment for Laszlo is now a proposed open source project under the Eclipse Technology Project. One of the big draws of OpenLaszlo is the advantages of an open source platform over other proprietary rich client solutions. No doubt many Laszlo users will be happy to hear that the IDE4Laszlo will be heading toward open source.
Here is an article in Information Week with more information. (added 8/2/05)

On Cinematic Interfaces
JohnFeller 110000RUW6 Tags:  laszlo ecommerce 3,170 Views
Humans love to interact with well-made things. A well-made toy will have kids jumping at the chance to spend hours playing with it. A well-made motor vehicle will have customers paying a premium in order to own it and interact with it daily.
People are also willing to pay to spend hours interacting with video games. This is partly due to the game content and escapism that is offered. But a large part is also because the successful games are designed to be fun to interact with. Very few video games these days offer an HTML-type interface, even if a game task (such as clothing your avatar in a role-playing game) is functionally similar to a browser task (ordering an outfit from an e-commerce website).
Laszlo describes its interfaces as "cinematic". It's based on a simple concept: movement plus fade morphs = eye candy and interface goodness. In other words, make it easier to implement little cinematic touches in web interfaces!
The generation of folks who grew up with Playstations are rapidly becoming an important market demographic. A cinematic interface can do much to attract not only this customer base, but people in general. But I don't think it is limited to just e-commerce. Can you imagine what a more cinematic Eclipse might be like?
Thoughts? Opinions? Post them!

Smallest Laszlo App?
JohnFeller 110000RUW6 Tags:  laszlo 2,474 Views
I am always amazed by how tiny my Laszlo apps turn out. Tiny in terms of lines of code (LOC). It's remarkable how sophisticated an application just 100-200 lines can produce. Of course, the smaller your app, generally, the easier it is to debug and maintain.
How many LOC do your Laszlo apps usually turn out to be? Hit the 'Comments' link to post a reply. As always, bragging is welcome here.

Cool IDE4Laszlo Trick
JohnFeller 110000RUW6 Tags:  laszlo 2,737 Views
Phil Berkland showed me an interesting (and probably undocumented) editing trick for using the IDE for Laszlo. If you are trying to fine tune the positioning attributes of a component, you can edit the X and Y values directly in the Properties view without switching between the Source and Preview tabs. Your changes will be visible almost instantly in the Preview tab. This is really useful for doing layout, and the trick also works for other attributes like colors.

Congratulations! Do you have a plan to market your services to people who might be interested in, say, natural-language processing technology, but who have no particular interest in Haskell? Or do you have clients and potential clients that are specifically looking for Haskell programmers?
