The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is entrusted with a
leadership position in the nation's government to promote, create, and maintain
a healthy America, and the President's HealthierUS Initiative establishes a
federal framework for wellness-related activities and programs. In May 2006,
Secretary Michael O. Leavitt announced prevention as one of his top ten
priority areas. The overarching agenda of the prevention priority is organized
around the four major principles of the HealthierUS initiative:
On October 27, 2006, Secretary Leavitt announced plans for the
development of federal Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans to be
issued in 2008 (http://archive.hhs.gov/news/press/2006pres/20061026.html).
HHS is taking the opportunity to develop the first Physical Activity Guidelines
for the nation to serve as the benchmark and single, authoritative voice for
providing science-based guidance on physical activity for health promotion.
These new, comprehensive guidelines will help promote a culture of wellness in
the United States by providing essential and practical information to Americans
on physical activity and related health benefits.
To help establish the scientific rationale for physical activity
guidelines, HHS sponsored a workshop (October 23 24, 2006), organized by
the Institute of Medicine, in which a panel of 30 scientists and practitioners
reviewed the evidence relating habitual physical activity to various health
outcomes, with special emphasis on the prevention of major chronic diseases (http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=11819). This overview of existing evidence indicated that frequent
participation in physical activity was strongly linked to better health status
throughout the life span. Given the high prevalence of sedentary behavior among
Americans and the current epidemic of obesity and related diseases, the panel
also concluded that federal physical activity guidelines were warranted.
Following the announcement by the Secretary, nominations for potential
members of a Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee (PAGAC) were
sought through a Federal Register Notice published in January 2007
https://gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2007-01-22/pdf/E7-842.pdf [PDF - 51 KB]. Prospective members of the Committee were expected to have
knowledge of current scientific research in human physical activity and be
respected and published experts in their fields; be familiar with the purpose,
communication, and application of federal guidelines; and have demonstrated
interest in the public's health and well-being through their research and
educational endeavors. Expertise was sought in specialty areas related to
physical activity, including health promotion and chronic disease prevention;
bone, joint, and muscle health and performance; obesity and weight management;
musculoskeletal injury and other adverse events; and applications to specific
populations such as children, youth, and women during pregnancy and the
postpartum period, older adults, persons with disabilities, and diverse races
and ethnicities.
To the extent practicable, selection of committee members represented
geographic distribution and took into account the needs of the diverse groups
served by HHS. Appointments were made without discrimination on the basis of
age; race and ethnicity; sex; sexual orientation; disability; or cultural,
religious, or socioeconomic status. In February 2007, Secretary Leavitt
appointed 13 members to the PAGAC, including a chair and vice chair. The
Committee served without pay and worked under the regulations of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act.
Secretary Leavitt's charge to the Committee was to "review existing
scientific literature to identify where there is sufficient evidence to develop
a comprehensive set of specific physical activity recommendations. The
Committee is to prepare a report to the Secretary that documents scientific
background and rationale for the 2008 edition of the Physical Activity
Guidelines for Americans. The report will also identify areas where further
scientific research is needed. The intent is to have physical activity
recommendations for all Americans that will be tailored as necessary for
specific subgroups of the population" https://gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2007-01-22/pdf/E7-842.pdf [PDF - 51 KB].
The committee held three 2-day meetings in Washington, DC, that were
open to the public and announced in the Federal Register. The meetings
took place on June 26 27, 2007; December 6 7, 2007; and February
28 29, 2008. Meeting summaries are available at
Oral comments from the public were presented at the second and third
public meetings, and written comments were accepted throughout the tenure of
the PAGAC. Written comments were shared with the Committee before the second
and third meetings and as Committee members were drafting their final report.
These comments are available for examination at the Office of Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion, 1101 Wootton Parkway, Suite LL-100, Rockville,
Soon after the PAGAC was convened, members decided that the work of
reviewing the science would be best achieved by establishing subcommittees,
each of which would review and interpret the literature for specific health
outcomes and summarize their findings as a chapter in the report. The
subcommittees, composed of Committee members and consultants, communicated by
electronic mail and conference calls and held face-to-face meetings before the
public Committee meetings. Each subcommittee was responsible for presenting to
the full Committee the basis for its conclusions, responding to questions, and
making changes if indicated. The conclusions in this report represent the
consensus of the entire PAGAC.
Initially, the PAGAC formed 9 subcommittees, focused on the 9 health
outcomes identified by the CDC (see below): all-cause mortality,
cardiorespiratory health, metabolic health, energy balance, musculoskeletal
health, functional health, cancer, mental health, and adverse events. At their
first public meeting, members added two other subcommittees: youth and
understudied populations (i.e., populations not covered in other chapters
persons with disabilities, women during pregnancy and the postpartum
period, and races and ethnicities other than non-Hispanic white).
Each Committee member volunteered to chair one subcommittee and be a
member of one or more other subcommittees. To assist in the review process,
subcommittee chairs were authorized to select consultants who had scientific
expertise in a specific area of the subcommittee's charge (consultants are
listed at the beginning of the report).
Immediately after Secretary Leavitt announced plans for the development
of federal physical activity guidelines, staff of the Division of Nutrition,
Physical Activity, and Obesity (DNPAO) at the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention's (CDC's) National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion were assigned to develop a process to support the systematic review
of the scientific literature relating physical activity to health. The staff
developed a conceptual framework for the literature search and a process to
systematically abstract published articles and make these abstracts readily
accessible to PAGAC members and consultants. The details of this search
strategy and process are provided in Part
F: Scientific Literature Search Methodology. The product
resulting from this search and abstracting process is the Physical Activity
Guidelines for Americans Scientific Database. CDC staff initially decided
to abstract relevant articles published between January 1, 1995 and December
30, 2006. In June 2007, the PAGAC and CDC agreed to expand the abstracting
process to include articles published between January 1 and August 10,
PAGAC members were instructed on and encouraged to use the Physical
Activity Guidelines for Americans Scientific Database to identify articles
that would be included in each subcommittee's systematic review of the
literature. Also, as each subcommittee developed a plan to review and interpret
the scientific data, it made arrangements with the CDC staff and PAGAC
leadership for additional abstracting of articles that were central to their
review. Because of limited time and resources available, additional abstracting
was prioritized based on the importance and relevance of the outcome being
addressed. Because not all the relevant literature could be abstracted by the
CDC, subcommittees also were encouraged to consider using recent meta-analyses
or systematic reviews for various biomarkers or risk factors that appear to be
in the causal pathway between activity and a specific clinical outcome (e.g.,
hypertension or atherogenic lipoproteins for coronary heart disease).
Subcommittees were instructed to carefully document in their chapters the
literature search and review methods they used.
Following their literature review, each subcommittee drafted a chapter
that summarized and synthesized the results of the review. These chapters were
subsequently reviewed by at least 3 PAGAC members who were not members of the
drafting subcommittee as well as selected consultants. All PAGAC members were
encouraged to review all chapters.
In addition to summarizing the evidence relating physical activity to
individual health outcomes, one of the PAGAC's major goals was to integrate the
scientific information on the relation of physical activity and health and to
summarize it in a manner that could be used effectively by HHS personnel to
develop the Physical Activity Guidelines and related statements.
For the final PAGAC meeting, each subcommittee chair was requested to
prepare a brief summary of key findings from their chapter for discussion by
PAGAC. Each subcommittee's summary report included information on the type and
magnitude of evidence, the strength of the evidence, characteristics of the
physical activity most likely to produce the outcome, any evidence of a
dose-response association, and any evidence that being sedentary puts a person
at increased risk. Selected PAGAC members then were asked to integrate the main
conclusions from these subcommittee reports under the headings of youth,
adults, older adults, understudied populations, and adverse events. These
summary conclusions were presented and discussed at the PAGAC meeting on
February 29, 2008. The resulting summary of evidence and consensus statements
about the relation of physical activity to health are provided in
Part E: Integration and Summary of the
The report includes 3 major components. The first component provides
essential background and synthesis information:
The second component, Part G: The
Science Base, includes 11 sections that review and summarize
the scientific literature relating physical activity to individual
health-related outcomes and populations: all-cause mortality, cardiorespiratory
health, metabolic health, energy balance, musculoskeletal health, functional
health, cancer, mental health, adverse events, youth, and understudied
The third component, Part H:
Research Recommendations provides a summary of the PAGAC's
collective recommendations about key areas of research that should be conducted
to further enhance the science base on physical activity and health.

Hi All,
As per request, here is the Wikifonia.org archive. There are over 6,500 leadsheets here that need liberating! This has been approved by the MuseScore team, and post your scores here when ready!
Some folks have wanted to know, "who is chinadoll?" These one or two folks are musescore members with an abundance of free time and curiosity about trivial issues that have nothing to do with music composition. That said (written), let us (me, this is confusing) be clear, they are very nice people and chinadoll is deeply touched (in the head, most likely) by their interest. So here goes.
Chinadoll has beautiful glossy golden brown hair, large soft eyes, a very quiet shy disposition along with an exceptionally sweet and gentle nature. Chinadoll loves loves fresh fruit (especially bananas) and vegetables. Yes, chinadoll is a Syrian Hamster with a bit of a talent for composing music. Late at night when everyone is asleep, chinadoll will tap out the notes on the home computer using her little paws. She loves attention and lots of gentle petting (especially if you give her a treat).

Write a song about a lonely tarantula that lives in a banana bunch.
The grand price is a vierual bunch of ripe bananas. Now, for a limited time, as a added amazing bonus, a free virtual tarantula. No, I'm lying. Must be the toxin from the tarantula bite that's affecting me. Dizzy dizzy it's all going dark.
I was wondering what the most common saxophone variant is, whether is be soprano, alto, tenor, or baritone. Can you tell me your type.
Oh, I said it in the title. Anyone?
I have most of my experience writing for strings and brass but I tried to break out of my comfort zone this time by writing for a saxophone ensemble (per request for a school festival). This quartet is what I came up with. Any criticism about what I could do to make this fitting the style of a sax quartet would be greatly appreciated.
like best friends brother, make it shine or shut up and dance
create lyrics then say the notes and I well make 2 a score.
Hello, This is a request for creators out here. I was wondering if someone could arrange the song: Ascension by Bruce Faulconer. I have no time to do it because I have to much going on with school. Thanks!
I just started playing alto sax last week for a summer program and I think all in all it's an easy instrument to start off on (maybe because I have been playing clarinet for 3 years). But I am still struggling with holding it. It's very heavy and sometimes my thumb is swollen from holding it. My friend who has been playing alto sax for 4 years says my sax is bigger than hers. I'm sure its alto because my music teacher gave it to me and I can't switch it out for a different one. Does anyone have any tips on how to hold the sax? Thxxx and I appreciate it- Flutinetist ^~^
I can't decide if I should switch to Baritone or Tenor Sax, or if I should stay an Alto Sax. Can you help me decide
Hello all. Try as I might, I can't find a transcription for Leo P's solo of "get busy". Might anyone have an idea where to find it?
Thank you for any input!

Story highlights
- PalFest is a traveling festival that visits Palestinian communities
- The group entered Gaza for the first time after four years visiting Jerusalem and the West Bank
- The 37 writers and artists received permission from Egypt to enter Gaza through the Rafah crossing
After five years of trying, an international group of authors have achieved their aim of taking their Palestine Festival of Literature to Gaza for the first time.
The annual traveling festival, known as PalFest, was set up in 2008 to bring book readings and cultural events to Palestinians who otherwise had little access to the outside world.
Each year the literary festival has visited several cities in the West Bank, but has been unable to gain permission from Israel to visit Gaza.
Israel imposed an economic blockade of Gaza when Hamas took over in 2007, which it says is needed to stop the transit of weaponry to be used by militants in attacks on Israel
This year, the group of 37 writers, artists and community organizers applied instead to enter Gaza from Egypt through the Rafah crossing, which re-opened last year. After a two-week wait, they were granted permission from the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to enter Gaza.
"We didn't know if we would get in until the very last minute," said Jamal Mahjoub, a British Sudanese author who traveled with PalFest. "We didn't know if we would manage until we actually crossed the border."
The group included Palestinians living in Jerusalem, West Bank and around the world, and prominent Arab authors including Egyptians Ahdaf Soueif and Khaled al Khamissi. None of them had been to Gaza before.
They spent five days in Gaza from May 5-9, running workshops for university students, free public events and visiting refugee camps.
The 10-piece Egyptian band Eskenderella, which became well-known for playing in Tahrir Square during the Egyptian revolution, played its first concert in Gaza to a packed hall.
Omar Robert Hamilton, an independent filmmaker and founder of PalFest, said: "Coming to Gaza was a necessity. We have tried every year but always failed before. Everything was incomplete until we came.
"It was vital to come here because of the fact that it's so divided and considered a separate entity, but at the same time totally connected to the West Bank."
In total around 2,000 Gazans attended the PalFest events. In one event, each author had 10 minutes to give the message they had always wanted to say to Gazans.
Hamilton added: "It's been pretty overwhelming. Everyone is so welcoming and pleased that we have managed to get there.
"They are very frustrated by the lack of access to the outside world. It's been a very emotional trip, but overwhelmingly positive.
"We began PalFest as an attempt to help connect Palestine with the rest of the world. Lack of access to art, culture and education is a form of restriction.
"We wanted to do what we could to support cultural life in Palestine, and to put on a festival that would be taken for granted anywhere else."
PalFest collected more than 1,500 books -- including copies of an anthology of extracts from works by festival participants -- which were distributed to cultural centers and university libraries.
Mahjoub said: "There was a real thirst for any books they could get their hands on: poetry, contemporary novels, books about history and politics. It's hard for people and institutions to get enough books and resources.
"They are hungry for any kind of cultural life, as there are no cinemas and few concerts."
He added: "The most important thing has been meeting people and talking on a cultural level, to hear about their experiences and their isolation.
"We have driven up and down the country and have tried to get as broad a picture as possible of what it's like to live here. I didn't come to lecture people about my literature, but to find out what their experiences are."
PalFest organizers said that on Wednesday evening the closing event was shut down by the police, but added that police later apologized for the incident, saying it was an "individual error."
PalFest is supported by organizations including the UK Arts Council and the British Council. Its patrons including Nigerian novelist Chinua Achebe, British author Philip Pullman and British actor Emma Thompson.
This year's festival also included one event in Ramallah in the West Bank and one in Cairo, Egypt, on May 11.

GOP's Obamacare quandary
Senate Republicans still haven't figured out how to defund Obamacare and keep funding the government.
Competing factions of the party are arguing over just how aggressive they should be in seeking to dismantle the health care law.
Story Continued Below
On one side, about one-third of the 46-member Republican Conference has signed on to a strategy to oppose any spending bill that contains Obamacare funding — a tally that has sputtered of late and remains stuck at 14.
( PHOTOS: 25 unforgettable Obamacare quotes)
On the other, a large chunk of Senate Republicans has turned its back on that strategy, arguing it could once again paint the GOP as the "government shutdown party" as the country careens toward a Sept. 30 deadline to keep the government funded.
The Senate's discord is spilling over to the House, where Republican leaders thought they could satisfy both camps by forcing the Senate to take two separate votes: one on a continuing resolution that would keep the government running into December and another on defunding Obamacare.
But opposition to that plan fueled by Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah caused a rebellion among House conservatives, delaying a vote on the House measure.
"They're screwing us," fumed a House GOP aide who had hoped that giving Senate Republicans yet another opportunity to unanimously oppose Obamacare would be enough to satisfy two of the most prominent Senate conservatives.
( PHOTOS: Key quotes from Ted Cruz)
Instead, Cruz and Lee have resisted the House approach because the Democratic-controlled Senate would surely vote to keep the government funded and easily defeat the Obamacare defunding component. Cruz called the approach "procedural chicanery" and asserted that the House GOP would be "complicit in the disaster that is Obamacare" if it supported the maneuver.
"Not a fan," Lee told POLITICO. "We need the House to pass a [bill] that funds everything else at current levels and contains a defunding provision."
That sentiment helped ramp up opposition among the two dozen or so House Republicans that take cues from the two senators, the House GOP aide said.
Outside groups warned Republicans to get away from the two-step approach, which House GOP leadership still hopes will be considered next week. Those opposing the tactic include conservative stalwarts like FreedomWorks, Heritage Action for America, Club for Growth and the Senate Conservatives Fund.
"We don't want any parliamentary tricks," said Dean Clancy, FreedomWorks vice president of public policy. "Just have a vote and send a bill to the Senate that defunds Obamacare."
Senate Democrats said they would go along with the House approach and take another vote on Obamacare in order to get a clean funding resolution. They've already voted multiple times on defunding Obamacare, which would mean no new storyline or attack advertisements could be sprung on vulnerable Democratic senators up for reelection who already have voted to keep the health care law, a Senate Democratic aide argued.
But if the House were to follow Lee's prescription, that calculus would change.
"Nothing that monkeys with Obamacare would pass the Senate," the aide said.
Some Republican senators said they would most likely go along with House leadership's measure that would give the Senate separate votes on government funding and Obamacare. It's not a perfect plan, said Indiana Sen. Dan Coats, but it might work.
"I want to avoid another drama: fiscal cliff, soap opera, last-minute, 'Are we, or aren't we?'" Coats said. "I'm willing to do it."

May 09, 2011, 09:53 ET
BUFFALO, N.Y., May 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Kinex Pharmaceuticals, LLC announced today that Dr. Allen Barnett, who served as the Founding Chief Executive Officer, has decided to step aside as CEO.
Dr. Barnett stated "I am delighted to see Kinex Pharmaceuticals evolve from a start-up biotechnology company with only a technology platform to a company with a pipeline of two compounds in pre-IND to phase 2 developments. The recent collaboration established with Hanmi Pharmaceuticals is also an important milestone for Kinex. As the company grows, the need for both scientific and business efforts has increased tremendously. I believe that this is the right time to pass the torch to my successor who will help the company grow. I am delighted to say that I have been able to convince our Executive Chairman, Dr. Johnson Lau to step in to take the lead. I have worked with him for more than a decade in different settings and I am very happy to be able to have somebody with his experience and involvement with Kinex to lead the Company. I remain committed to assist with the growth of Kinex Pharmaceuticals in the many years to come."
Dr. Johnson Lau is a successful pharmaceutical executive who has had extensive leadership experience in both scientific and business management. As Chairman and CEO of Ribapharm, he launched the second largest biotech IPO in US history. Prior to Ribapharm, he served as the Head of Worldwide Research and Development for ICN Pharmaceuticals. Dr. Lau has served as the Senior Director of Antiviral Therapy at Schering-Plough where he played a significant role in the FDA approval of Ribavirin/Interferon and Pegylated interferon alpha-2b. He has more than 250 scientific publications in peer reviewed scientific journals, more than 50 editorials/reviews/chapters and has edited three books. He was a Managing Director at Roth Capital Partners at its headquarters in Newport Beach, California and is also a Director of the Board of Chelsea Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CHTP) and other privately held companies. Dr. Lau has served as the Executive Chairman of Kinex Pharmaceuticals since its inception.
Dr. Lau stated, "Dr. Allen Barnett is a legend in the pharmaceutical industry. Kinex has advanced under his leadership to an early stage pipeline company. He is the grandfather of Kinex Pharmaceuticals. I am delighted that the Board and I have convinced Dr. Barnett to stay on as President Emeritus and allow us to tap into his vast experience in the pharmaceutical industry to support the future growth of Kinex Pharmaceuticals."
Mr. Chuck Lannon, Vice-Chairman of Kinex Pharmaceuticals, stated, "Allen has contributed tremendously to the establishment of Kinex Pharmaceuticals. We thank him for his excellent service and we are delighted to retain him as President Emeritus so that he can continue to support the growth of Kinex Pharmaceuticals with his scientific experience in the many years to come".

'Hero To Zero' Syndrome: Is This Why Veterans Struggle To Get Jobs?
Though the unemployment rate remains stubbornly high for Americans generally, data suggest that veterans as a group are having an easier time finding jobs. The unemployment rate among veterans of all ages fell to 6.9 percent in July from 8.6 percent during the same month a year ago, the Labor Department reported in August.
The significant drop in the jobless rate doesn't mean, however, that veterans are finding it easy to transition into civilian jobs. For many, other barriers exists, including adjusting to life in a civilian world that bears little resemblance to regimented existence they became accustomed to.%VIRTUAL-hiringNow-government%
Sydney Savion understands the psychological roadblocks veterans face. She's a 20-year veteran of the Air Force, who served in both the enlisted and officer ranks. She's witnessed many senior and junior officers, as well as enlisted personnel, leave the military and struggle to find a place as a civilian.
Their challenges included not only adjusting to a new culture and finding jobs with similar stature or privilege, but basic things such as getting used to being called by their first names, rather than "colonel" or "general." Many experience what is known as "Hero to Zero" syndrome. The phrase refers to top performers who suddenly find they're no longer the prized employees they once were because of a sudden change in management or corporate structure. For veterans, the phenomenon manifests after they leave the military and find that in the private workforce, their status is suddenly diminished.
With those challenges in mind, Savion has written a book -- "Camouflage to Pinstripes: Learning to Thrive in Civilian Culture" -- about how military members can successfully return to civilian life.
AOL Jobs recently spoke with Savion (pictured), who holds a doctorate in education from George Washington and works as a human-resource consultant, to get her insights in recognizing the psychological barriers confronting veterans and tips for overcoming them.
Q. The book's title, "Camouflage to Pinstripes," may suggest to some that the it's geared toward professionals (those who wear suits to work), but it's written for all former service members, right?
A. Actually, the title is more of an allegory. It's more than just changing clothes. It's the psychological struggle that the individual faces as they take that journey from the military culture to civilian culture. It's not necessarily about jobs, per se. I do talk about marketability and how to prepare ... so the book really is practical advice on how to be successful upon returning to civilian society.
Q. One piece of advice you offer is "to be deliberate about surrendering the past." What do you mean?
A. Many who have spent time in the military have attached their identity and self worth to their rank, position and status in the military. So once they're removed from that context, many experience a very sudden, psychological descent into obscurity. I describe that as a rise and fall of one's ego, which is known as "Hero to Zero" mentality. So people can easily get stuck by resisting to change the way the see themselves and their outlook on life. It's vital for people to be intentional about shedding their attachments to the past way of thinking, doing and being, and discover new ways that are more meaningful and purposeful. Oftentimes what I witness is people struggling with finding something equal to or more glorious than the life they lived in the military.
More:25 Resume Tips That Help Make A Great First Impression
Q. Most members of the military enter the service when they are teenagers. What role does that play when deciding to return to civilian life four, 10 or 20 years later?
A. There's a transformation of your identity in the military. When I enlisted and went into basic training, I was told essentially, "We're going to strip you down and rebuild you."In civilian society, in essence, it's every man for himself. But in the military it's: "I have to know that you have my back and you know that I have your back, and that's how we operate. And if one fails, we both fail." That's the transformation that needs to occur, where you're not just thinking about yourself. That's what builds that esprit de corps that many in the military experience.
Q. You mention in the book that it's common for retiring service members to move into jobs with the federal government, either as an employee or contract worker. How widespread is that practice and what are the reasons for it?
A. I don't have any metrics, just my own observation of retiring officers and enlisted people who got out and just assumed a role that they were doing before, but now as a civilian. Why? Because it's a very easy transition. Even though you're not wearing a uniform anymore, you're still operating in the same environment with the same people and the same organizations.
More:Resume Tips From Recruiters
Q. Are the challenges facing current Iraq and Afghanistan veterans different from those of past conflicts?
A. I don't think the set of challenges are that much different. The unemployment rate for veterans has dropped significantly. The thing that's different is that during the Vietnam War, for example, they really didn't have a name for what they're describing today as post-traumatic stress disorder. I think now, putting a description to it, and having more knowledge about what is happening to some soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who are being diagnosed with having PTSD, we're better able to address it.
Q. Do you think the president's effort to enlist employers to commit to hiring veterans has helped reduce the unemployment rate among veterans?
A. I think it certainly helps. It encourages an employer -- whether it's tax credits or some other incentive that they are given -- to actually hire veterans. I think it contributes to that low unemployment rate; I don't think it's wholly that, but certainly a contributor. Another significant contributor to this outcome is nonprofit organizations dedicated to educating and helping unemployed and employed veterans successfully reintegrate into mainstream society.
Q. Your experience suggests that the challenge for many veterans isn't necessarily finding the job, but keeping a job. Can you explain?
A. Employers often understand why veterans make good employees, but not what it takes to keep them employed and how to fully leverage their talents. I think most employers would say that one of the reasons they would hire veterans is not because of the tax credits but because they have great management skills; they understand diversity; they understand accountability and responsibility; they're strong leaders; and they understand how to converse with people. So they have the capacity to be very strong leaders in any corporation.

WCAG 2.0 is here at last!
We're delighted to join others in applauding the release of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.0 as a W3C Recommendation.
WCAG is important because it treats accessibility independently and offers greater clarity and testability for the standards. The notion that only formats that originated at the W3C can be accessible is noticeably absent in version 2, which reflects not only the hard work on accessibility done by Adobe with PDF and Flash, but also acknowledges that the web changes quickly and it is important to have objective criteria that allow authors and technology providers to evaluate their offerings to enable users with disabilities to access content developed using new techniques or technologies.
Adobe has already provided information that clarifies how the concept of "Accessibility Supported" that is used in WCAG 2 applies to the PDF format, and also provided a sample implementation of a Flash-based video application that was determined to meet Level AA of WCAG 2. This information is available as part of the WCAG 2 implementation report.
WCAG 2 will benefit authors and end users, and already there is encouraging news related to its adoption into existing and developing accessibility policies, such as the pan-European accessibility policy being developed under UE Mandate 376 and country-based standards being refreshed in the United State, Japan, and elsewhere.
Coming soon
Adobe will offer a series of best practices for using Adobe tools, to enable authors creating content and applications that use Flash, PDF, HTML, or other formats to comply with WCAG 2. These will be available on the Adobe web site in December 2008 and have been developed in conjunction with leading accessibility experts inside and outside of Adobe. We'll announce the availability through this blog and various email lists.
Please take the time to familiarize yourself with this important standard.

Albuquerque, New Mexico, is known for its incredible lowrider scene and, at any given moment, lowriders in a variety of makes and models can be seen on the area's Boulevards. Chris "Wedo" Wright wanted to carry on this tradition as well—in the two–wheeled form.
Having a fortuitous trip to Laughlin for the River Run convinced Chris that it was time to build a custom masterpiece. "After seeing all the So Cal style Harleys, we knew it was time to bring that style to New Mexico," he says. "We talked about build ideas for the entire ride home. In fact, the color scheme and even the idea of the bike were completed before we even got back."
A total of nine months and countless hours of hard work produced the final results you see here. Jerome,The original handlebars were removed and beach bars were added. A chrome front end was installed from a '99 Harley to give the bike that old school feel.
After cruising the bike for a couple of months, it was time for the paint. Having a best friend that does paint and body for a living certainly helps, thus, the bike was stripped down and the saddlebags were the first to receive work. Scott Benavidez at Mr. B's Paint and Body installed a 4-inch Arlen Ness stretched bag kit as the body received work.
The rear fender was smoothed out, and the front fender was also shaved to remove the rivets. After all the parts were prepped, Daniel Almendarez took it upon himself to start the paint procedure. He started with a Solar Gold base and moved on to the House of Kolor Pagan Gold with a touch of Candy Apple Red. "I wanted a color that could not be duplicated, so I called it 'Hater-Aid Gold,'" he says with a laugh. After all of the paint was completed, Joe Martinez added murals,"After the paint was done my wife hated it and threatened to kick the bike over. She hated the murals of the half-naked girls," says Chris.
Now that the paint was completed, it was time for the bike to hit the streets and also the shows.
Chris would like to give a special thanks to Scott and Mr. B's Paint and Body, his best friend, Daniel Almendarez, Joe Martinez, all of his friends at La Vida Customs and Southwest Choppers, and of course, his wife and children. Without all these individuals' help, Chris' dream bike would not have become a reality.

Australian man Patrick Richer shot dead in Kenya
Since moving to Kenya a decade ago accomplished Sydney ad-man Patrick Richer had met tragedy once before.
Seven years ago he was one of four passengers in a safari vehicle when it was hit head-on by a truck in December 2006, killing four people including two Australians. Mr Richer escaped with a fractured spine.
His love for Kenya, and his Kenyan wife Lesli, kept him in Africa. ''My wife inspired me to come back to Kenya, to start afresh,'' he said in a video filmed by his employer, international advertising agency, Tbwa Flame Tree Advertising.
But on Sunday morning the 39-year-old Australian was shot dead in Kenya by a gang of up to 10 men, including some who were wearing police uniforms when they stormed into his home.
Mr Richer was shot twice in the chest at close range in his house in the upmarket Runda estate in Nairobi in the early hours of Sunday.
Advertising industry personnel told Fairfax Media that jobs in Africa pay more handsomely than those in Sydney but come with obvious risks.
Nairobi police commander Benson Kibue told Kenyan newspaper The Daily Nation that at least 10 attackers, including six who were dressed in administration police uniform, raided Mr Richer's home just before 2am on Sunday.
The gunmen are believed to have cut through the rear fence and tied up a number of guards before raiding the house and shooting Mr Richer, the Kenyan newspaper The Standard reported .
Mr Richer was taken to Aga Khan Hospital, but was pronounced dead. Mrs Richer, also was home at the time of the robbery but was not injured.
The thieves escaped with a television, phones and two laptops, according to The Daily Nation.
Mr Kibue said no one had been arrested over the robbery, which occurred in one of the most affluent neighbourhoods in Nairobi and that police were trying to establish whether the suspects in police uniform were in fact officers.
Tbwa Flame Tree Advertising's Tim Smyth, told local media that Mr Richer was a ''wonderful person'' who had been working for the company for about five years.
''He has travelled across Africa to represent lots of companies and lots of brands and has worked with many, many young Kenyans to help them grow their skills and their passion for advertising and creativity,'' Mr Smyth said.
''He's a great ambassador for our industry. He's certainly going to be sorely missed by many of the young Kenyans that he helped over the past almost decade working in Kenya and across Africa.
''We were about to negotiate some new long-term deals for him to move ahead and continue to work and help us grow our business and industry here. It's craziness.''
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said the Australian High Commission in Nairobi was liaising with local authorities on the incident which led to his death.

Quote mining (also contextomy) is the fallacious tactic of taking quotes out of context in order to make them seemingly agree with the quote miner's viewpoint or to make the comments of an opponent seem more extreme or hold positions they don't in order to make their positions easier to refute or demonize.[note 1] It's a way of lying. This tactic is widely used among Young Earth Creationists in an attempt to discredit evolution.
Quote mining is an informal fallacy and a fallacy of ambiguity, in that it removes context that is necessary to understand the mined quote.

1: Read a large chunk of text, and notice something that agrees with your argument:
.... Sentence that disagrees with my position. Sentence that disagrees with my position. Sentence that disagrees with my position. Sentence that agrees with my position. Sentence that disagrees with my position. Sentence that disagrees with my position. Sentence that disagrees with my position. ....
2: Remove all unnecessary or disagreeing text:
Sentence that agrees with my position.
And you're done!
Another way is to make creative use of ellipses:
.... Sentence that mentions something. Sentence that says something else. Sentence that disagrees with my position. Sentence that mentions something else. ....
Cut out the part you don't like, add an ellipsis, for the sake of form:
Something that...agrees with my position.
And you've "corrected" the quote!
The best part is that no one will be the wiser, since few[note 2] would actually bother to look up the original and check the full context of your quote.
For extra points, you can reformat it as such:
Person X disagrees with my position; they write, "Sentence that disagrees with my position." Yet they later stated, "Sentence that agrees with my position." How can both be true, Person X?
This makes it seem like you're presenting "both sides" of Person X's views, when really all you care about is Sentence that agrees with my position.
With the above lessons firmly in mind, you are now ready to submit your overly long, self-published paper and earn yourself a fellowship at Creation Ministries International.
There are many examples of quote mining, probably because (sadly) it works.
Another famous example, possibly one of the most famous examples of quote mining, is the following misquotation of Charles Darwin, where the bold section is often presented without including the rest of the quote.
""To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree. Yet reason tells me, that if numerous gradations from a perfect and complex eye to one very imperfect and simple, each grade being useful to its possessor, can be shown to exist; if further, the eye does vary ever so slightly, and the variations be inherited, which is certainly the case; and if any variation or modification in the organ be ever useful to an animal under changing conditions of life, then the difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, though insuperable by our imagination, can hardly be considered real. How a nerve comes to be sensitive to light, hardly concerns us more than how life itself first originated; but I may remark that several facts make me suspect that any sensitive nerve may be rendered sensitive to light, and likewise to those coarser vibrations of the air which produce sound.
|—(Darwin 1872, 143-144)[note 3]
As may be seen, the quote has been taken out of context to give it the opposite meaning, thus appearing to support a different conclusion from that in the original article. Bolder quote miners may actually use ellipses to omit material that contradicts their point of view even in the middle of a sentence or paragraph,[note 4] safe in the knowledge that their audience will not look up the full quote.[note 5] The most brazen of all will go so far as abusing ellipses to string together phrases that are paragraphs apart, or even from entirely different chapters of a book.
Supporters of this dishonest tactic often try to defend themselves against accusations of quote mining by stating that only supporters of evolution use the term: therefore it is invalid.[3] However, this is largely because the primary group using these tactics, strenuously avoided in academic circles, are Young Earth Creationists; therefore their opponents will most often be the ones leveling the charge. This is less about the validity of the term and more about the desire to cling to a spurious tactic when few other arguments are available.
As a result of widespread use of quote mining in YEC circles, several sites[4] have been set up as "quote mines", providing lists of mined quotes without the need to actually go to the source material. Most users of these quotes have never read the original source material, and would likely be hard pressed to actually find copies.[5]
Mark Ridley[edit]
The following quote, mentioned in New Scientist, has been used in an attempt to discredit evolution:[6]
""In any case, no real evolutionist, whether gradualist or punctuationist, uses the fossil record as evidence in favour of the theory of evolution as opposed to special creation.[7]
However, the quote leaves out the very next sentence, which not only provides context, but shows the author's point of view much more accurately:
""This does not mean that the theory of evolution is unproven.
The article later goes on to state that:
""So what is the evidence that species have evolved? There have traditionally been three kinds of evidence, and it is these, not the "fossil evidence", that the critics should be thinking about. The three arguments are from the observed evolution of species, from biogeography, and from the hierarchical structure of taxonomy.
Attempted use by Private Eye for libel defence[edit]
A case brought by Lord Russel of Liverpool, a legal adviser at the Nuremberg trials, centring on whether his book The Scourge of the Swastika was pornographic, was the first accusation of libel against Private Eye actually to make it to court, in 1965.
The success of the Eye's defence can perhaps be best summed up by this exchange in the courtroom:
David Turner-Samuels (for the Eye): With your permission, my lord, I will read an extract from The Times Literary Review – "Lord Russel's works could be said to be pornographic... " [8]
David Hirst, QC (for the plaintiff): Read the rest of the sentence.
David Turner-Samuels: "...But they are not. "
The Eye lost.
Fahrenheit 9/11[edit]
A classic and definitive example of quote mining comes in Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11. Moore excerpts a speech by Condoleezza Rice, where she says:
""Oh, indeed there is a tie between Iraq and what happened on 9/11.
At which point the camera cuts away, the audience laughs and thinks that Rice is being deceptive in trying to argue that al Qaeda and Iraq were jointly involved in planning 9/11. The rest of the speech continues:
Oh, indeed there is a tie between Iraq and what happened on 9/11. It's not that Saddam Hussein was somehow himself and his regime involved in 9/11, but, if you think about what caused 9/11, it is the rise of ideologies of hatred that led people to drive airplanes into buildings in New York. This is a great terrorist, international terrorist network that is determined to defeat freedom. It has perverted Islam from a peaceful religion into one in which they call on it for violence. And they're all linked. And Iraq is a central front because, if and when, and we will, we change the nature of Iraq to a place that is peaceful and democratic and prosperous in the heart of the Middle East, you will begin to change the Middle East....
Although Rice did try to place the blame for 9/11 on Iraq by declaring it "a central front" of a "great terrorist, international terrorist network," she also stated that Saddam was not directly involved in 9/11. When Moore cited only one part out of context, he failed to include the entire statement where Rice says Saddam didn't plan 9/11 but actually is part of the terrorist conspiracy that caused 9/11 while not actually being involved (see: doublethink). It is also worth noting that the speech was made in November 2003, so it is disingenuous for Moore to argue that it was a part of "drumming up public support for the war" which started in March 2003, eight months before her speech.[9].
In which leaked e-mails were copiously quote mined in order to insinuate scientists were using "tricks" to "hide the decline." In fact, this wasn't just quote mining choice phrases out of context, it involved actively removing the explanation of what "hide the decline" even meant. SPOILER ALERT: It didn't mean "covering up" or "faking data" but something far more boring - simply counteracting data that was known to be wrong.
Adam Smith on responsible capitalism[edit]
Speaking at the Liberal Democrat autumn conference, Liberal Democrat business secretary, Vincent Cable prompted rebuke from the Adam Smith Institute by quoting Adam Smith on regulation:
""But Adam Smith himself was scathing about some forms of business behaviour – particularly those that led to the suppression of competition. He wrote "people of the same trade seldom meet together even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public."[10]
However, Smith goes on to say:
""It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary. A regulation which obliges all those of the same trade in a particular town to enter their names and places of abode in a public register, facilitates such assemblies... A regulation which enables those of the same trade to tax themselves in order to provide for their poor, their sick, their widows, and orphans, by giving them a common interest to manage, renders such assemblies necessary. An incorporation not only renders them necessary, but makes the act of the majority binding upon the whole.
NASA as a defense agency[edit]
The very first words of the book Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA, by Richard Hoagland and Mike Bara, are:
""The NASA that we've known for over 50 years has been a lie.
Pseudo-justifying this announcement, Hoagland and Bara cite Sec. 305 (i) of the Space Act:
""The Administration shall be considered a defense agency of the United States.
..of which the full version is:
The Administration shall be considered a defense agency of the United States for the purpose of Chapter 17, Title 35 of the US Code.
Title 35 is exclusively concerned with patent law. Chapter 17 says that if an employee of a "defense agency" (as defined) files an application for a patent, the commissioner of patents may keep it under wraps while checking with the bosses of the relevant agency to make sure publishing it won't blow some cosmic secret. In other words, it simply brings NASA into line with other national enterprises in the context of boring old patent law. The Departments of Justice and Homeland Security have the exact same wording in their charters.
For the record, NASA is by definition a civilian agency. Dilettantes like Hoagland and Bara get confused because the agency does undertake certain classified projects on a contract basis.
Pretty much everything they get attention for is due to selectively editing quotes and videos so that the quotes appear to represent the opposite of their actual, in-context meaning. Breitbart's attack on Shirley Sherrod was particularly egregious.
Creationists do this. A lot.

The Bible[edit]
Theologians, especially Christian fundamentalist theologians, can acquire extensive skills in mining the Bible for nugget-quotes (conveniently-sized Biblical verses). Since many authors and editors have cobbled the texts of the Biblical canon together, such Scripture contains many contradictions and other situations where the Bible can be quoted against itself (sometimes even within the same book!). Quote miners can take advantage of this largesse - and Christian writers have often decontexted Biblical verses to get whatever twisted interpretation they can out of them. For example, Psalm 37:4[13] has been used to justify name it and claim it theology.
Of course, two can play that game. As the Bible says:[14] [15]
""There is no God.
Although maybe King David (the Bible attributes both of these psalms to him) himself quote mined this from a more nuanced statement.
Conspiracy theorists[edit]
Conspiracy theorists, being completely baseless, need to resort to this to give the illusion of an overwhelming amount of evidence. By doing this you can do things like: Make the UN announce an International Court, announce a Global Currency, and Make Obama announce a New World Order by quoting him saying the "Old order" is not working and that they need a "new order"[16]
Quote Mining Index[edit]
In his book The Greatest Show on Earth, Richard Dawkins jokingly suggested that you could create a Quote Mining Index (QMI) by calculating the ratio of the number of times a quote is mined versus the number of times it is quoted in full (or when context is also quoted) - using Google search results as a proxy for how many times the quotes appear. For example, his quote,
""It is as though they [fossils] were just planted there, without any evolutionary history.
returns 24,600 hits on Google. Whilst the following explanation:
""Evolutionists of all stripes believe, however, that this really does represent a very large gap in the fossil record, a gap that is simply due to the fact that, for some reason, very few fossils have lasted from periods before about 600 million years ago.
receives only 3,160 hits. That is 7.8 quote mines to every "legitimate" use of the quote, or a QMI of 7.8.

Whenever this half paragraph is quoted by creationists, it always demonstrates the same omission thus revealing (ahem) the common descent of the quote mine. The ellipsis conceals the omission of the text "as Professor Schaaffhausen has remarked (18. 'Anthropological Review,' April 1867, p.236.)" revealing Darwin was repeating the opinion of his academic colleagues at the time, and regardless of whether he was or was not a racist his views were held in common with the greater part of the western world. Incidentally, thanks to the Internet one can now read Darwin's quoted source without even a trip to a university library. Also of note is the very next article in the review, entitled "The theory of development and its bearing on science and religion" which reminds us that the battle of getting fundamentalists to understand that while not antagonistic to their beliefs, science does in fact rule out events of creation by fiat has been going on for over a century and half.

Reorientation: No participation at the Frankfurt Musikmesse
Reorientation: No participation at the Frankfurt Musikmesse
Extraordinary times require extraordinary dedication to customers.
Instead of investing global marketing resources into multiple international trade shows which do not reach all customer segments, the SONOR company has made a decision to diversify its marketing activities and investments to more closely engage musicians and enthusiasts. This change is consistent with the company's vision of becoming a partner in everyone's musical life.
As a result of this approach, the SONOR company announces its decision to eliminate its booth spaces at the Frankfurt Music Fair in 2010 dedicated to the Sonor Drums and Sonor Orff brands. Conversely, SONOR will upgrade its participation at the Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, California where it will launch for the international community its concepts for the future of its brands.
In realigning its marketing investments and product launches to more closely engage consumers, music and musicians, SONOR has announced that it will accelerate the release of its new products for 2010 in time to reach the market for Autumn and Christmas, 2009. Other consistent marketing initiatives will be announced as the decisions to participate are made.

Not so long ago, there was no Guinness beer – and certainly no green beer – in Ireland on St. Patrick's Day.
In fact, all the pubs closed on St. Patrick's Day in Ireland. Families attended church and later went for a walk or worked in the garden.
The holiday was exactly that, says Carmel McCaffrey: a holy day.
"When I was a child in Ireland, the pubs didn't even open. It was a holy day. We went to church," the Irish scholar and former Johns Hopkins professor said in a phone interview from Maryland. "We'd usually just meet up with friends and have a meal. There were no drinks."
IN PICTURES: St. Patrick's Day parades around the world
That's not what you'll hear in Dublin today, as the holiday to remember the British missionary to the Druids switches focus from religion to revelry.
"As long as St. Patrick's Day has been around, they've drunk Guinness," insists Mark McGovern, a Guinness brewery spokesman said by telephone from Dublin.
The company's St. James's Gate Brewery makes 3 million pints of beer a day for domestic and international consumption, and about 10 million glasses of Guinness are consumed daily in 150 countries. "On St. Patrick's Day, I'm sure it's more than that," Mr. McGovern says.
Guinness assurances to the contrary, most Irish sources say that only in the past two decades did St. Patrick's Day include alcohol in Ireland. And, the bacchanal roots of the holiday were imported from America.
It's only been a national holiday since 1903, more than 150 years after Boston's Irish community organized the world's first St. Patrick's Day parade in 1737. It became a government-backed festival in 1995 as a way to boost tourism.
According to a government briefing, the festival was created to "offer a national festival that ranks amongst all of the greatest celebration in the world" and also to "project, internationally, an accurate image of Ireland as a creative, professional and sophisticated country with wide appeal, as we approach the new Millennium."
Does St. Patrick's Day boost Ireland's image as a professional and sophisticated country?
Regardless, today Ireland is nearly synonymous with St. Patrick's Day and shamrocks and corned beef. And many Celts are cashing in.
Guinness's St. James's Gate Brewery has certainly benefited from the repackaging of the saint's day. It has become the country's largest tourist attraction, generating more than 1 million visitors in 2009 (just ahead of the Dublin Zoo). Hundreds will pay about $30 apiece to attend a party today at the Guinness Hop Store in Dublin with live music and free drinks for anyone named Patrick, Patricia, or Pat.
"Ireland has an amazing St. Patrick's Day festivity. Fantastic parades," says McGovern, explaining that the parades and festivities have grown every year. And he says, "For a lot of people, that involves drinking a pint of Guinness."
McCaffrey and others who remember further back, however, will remind us to the contrary.
"Twenty-five years ago, Dublin was the dullest place on earth to spend St. Patrick's Day," Irish author Maeve Binchy wrote in a 2001 opinion article for the New York Times.
"The public houses and bars just did not open in Ireland on St. Patrick's Day. It seems that nobody in the United States ever really believed this. And to be honest, why should anyone have believed it? They saw the Irish in America, disrupting traffic in major cities across the country, painting green lines down the middle of main boulevards, drinking their skulls off."
And now, it's the same in Dublin.
But for some in Ireland, St. Patrick's Day still retains some connection with its namesake. The Irish Catholic head Sean Brady held a special mass today at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Armagh.
