Home » Support Us » Volunteering - Volunteering
Volunteer members of the Great Western Society run the Didcot Railway Centre, supported by a small number of paid staff. To ensure that we continue to uphold the aims of the Society we seek and welcome new volunteers in all departments.
Didcot Railway Centre has become the leading Great Western Railway preservation centre through the efforts of our membership. Our activities range from the restoration and repair of our historic locomotives, coaches and wagons, and operating them on the demonstration lines; signalling; educating children and young people through the Science and Learning Centre; displaying collections in the Museum; all supported by site development and trackwork, special events, gardening and catering … to name but a few of the opportunities that await you.
Although in some areas we do need experienced volunteers with specialised skills do not be put off by thinking that you are unqualified, as we also provide full training for whichever job you choose to do. We realise that everyone has a different amount of uncommitted time - the amount of time you spend with us depends on you. Some activities take place regularly every week or fortnight; others, such as site working parties, are programmed and advertised in the Newsletter. Operating Staff are rostered over a year, usually a minimum of ten days per year.
So whether you are retired, young, or a working person with a few hours to spare, a warm welcome awaits you.
Before you start as a volunteer at Didcot Railway Centre we will ensure that you take part in an induction session so that you know your way around and are able to work safely in a railway engineering environment.
Each engine under restoration or repair is undertaken by a specific group of volunteers. Whether you are skilled, unskilled or simply interested in engineering, a machinist, a fitter, a welder or can lend a willing hand to clean/assemble/paint/make tea, you can make a difference. We can provide appropriate training.
Current projects include:
Restoring and maintaining our fleet of passenger coaches and wagons in good working order, including our heritage fleet and the prestigious Super Saloons. Opportunities for woodworkers, joiners, electricians, plumbers, sheet metal workers/panelists, mechanical engineers (for brake and bogie overhauls), painters, general practical handymen, cleaners. (C&W Manager - Roger Horwood).
Volunteers are needed in each of the Sections of the Operating Department shown below (Contact - Richard Jermyn):
Trainee applicants will be required to complete a confidential medical questionnaire to the satisfaction of the Society's Medical Officer, and to commit to 6-8 turns per year (minimum 4 turns p.a.) .
Our younger members can join 'Firebox' and assist, under supervision, in the work of the Railway Centre. Why not have a look at the young volunteers page?

We were "green" before it was cool – 65 years ago – our logo needs to reflect
We specialize in air and liquid filtration products used in manufacturing plants,
high tech facilities, and commercial building maintenance. We do not sell
consumer products; our customers include large office buildings, schools and
universities, malls, manufacturing facilities, pharmaceutical labs and hospitals,
power plants, etc.
We didn't just jump on the "green" bandwagon – we've been a leader in
the "green" initiative since 1945. The products we sell help our customers
maintain systems to use less water, improve indoor air quality, and uncover
operating inefficiencies in machinery and processes saving on energy
Over 60% of the energy that North American businesses use is for heating and air
conditioning – the correct filters can help reduce that statistic dramatically
We provide filters that improve indoor air quality by reducing airborne viruses and
bacteria; this saves in employee productivity, reduced absenteeism, and health insurance
We provide our customers with filters that have a long life – longer filter life means there's
less frequent change-out, which immediately lowers labor costs and solid waste disposal/
landfill costs

343 Industries dropped a bomb on Halo Fest attendees this past weekend, revealing that Halo 4, revealed earlier this summer in an E3 trailer, would kick off "The Reclaimer Trilogy," continuing the story of series protagonist Master Chief and his AI sidekick Cortana. That plot thread has been sidelined in recent years as Bungie wrapped up its commitments to the franchise it created with Halo: ODST and Halo: Reach.
The weekend gathering was far too early for 343 to reveal anything from inside the game, but the studio prepped a couple of behind-the-scenes videos to calm Halo-hungry fans. There's a general "Halo is awesome!" clip that opened the headlining Halo Fest panel, along with two videos, focusing on the game's concept art and sound design, respectively. I'd also like to take a moment to point out that this might be the first ever behind-the-scenes video game footage to feature a homemade potato cannon.

Note: This recall has been reannounced and recall hotline hours changed.
Firm's Hotline: (866) 229-5570
August 16, 2006
Release # 06-232
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.
Name of Product: Black & Decker and Craftsman Brand Cordless Electric Lawnmowers
Units: About 160,000 mowers -- Note: 140,000 of these Black & Decker and Craftsman brand lawnmowers were recalled in September 2002, but also are included in this recall.
Manufacturer: Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc., of Towson, Md.
Hazard: An electrical component in the lawnmowers can overheat, posing a fire hazard.
Incidents/Injuries: Black & Decker has received 10 additional reports of electrical components overheating, including one additional report of a fire extending beyond the mower. -- Note: The original recall involved 11 reports of electrical components overheating. One of these resulted in a minor hand burn and nine resulted in reports of minor property damage extending beyond the mower.
Description: The mowers were sold under both the Black & Decker and Craftsman brand names. The recalled Black & Decker mowers have the model CMM1000 or CMM1000R and are labeled as Type 1 through Type 4, both of which are located on the silver and black label affixed to the rear door of the mower. Mowers labeled as Type 5 are not included in this recall. The Black & Decker mowers have either an orange or green deck with a black motor cover. The Craftsman-brand mowers have model number 900.370520 and include all date codes and types. The model number is located on the silver and black label affixed to the rear door of the mower. The Craftsman mowers have a dark green deck with a black motor cover.
Sold by: Home center, hardware and discount stores, and authorized Black & Decker dealers nationwide from February 1996 through December 2005 for between $360 and $450. Craftsman-brand mowers were sold at Sears and Orchard Supply Hardware stores nationwide from January 1998 through December 2000 for between $360 and $400.
Manufactured In: United States and Canada
Remedy: All consumers should stop using the lawnmowers immediately and call for information on receiving a free inspection and repair if necessary. Consumers who had their mowers repaired as a result of the previous recall should have their mowers again inspected and repaired, if necessary, as part of this recall.
Consumer Contact: For additional information, consumers with Black & Decker mowers should contact Black & Decker toll-free at (866) 229-5570 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.blackanddecker.com Consumers with Craftsman-brand lawnmowers should call (888) 375-9741 between 7 am - 9 pm CT Monday through Friday, 7 am - 6 pm Saturday.

[9 Man playoffs]
*Single game performance rating adjusted to 15 points above or below (depending upon win/loss) the rating of the opponent instead of using the true margin of victory. This is done in order to properly credit the win itself as being the most important thing-- short of doing that, a 1-point win would nearly be equal to a 1-point loss, and of course it is not. The actual number used for this, again currently 15, may fluctuate over time as it is derived by analyzing the margin of victory of every game played nationally and taking the 40th percentile of all those margins. (Capped at 15 to avoid early-season small sample size anomalies.)
**Single game performance rating may have been adjusted to 28 points above or below (depending upon win/loss) the rating of the opponent instead of using the true margin of victory. This is done so as to not reward teams for scheduling/running up the score against vastly inferior opponents. The actual number used for this, again currently 28, also may fluctuate over time as it is derived by analyzing the margin of victory of every game played nationally and taking the 63rd percentile of all those margins.
Please note that double-asterisked (and
out) games are considered to be less "true results" when ratings are created by the system because the margin of victory needed to be artificially decreased for the reasons mentioned above. As such, performances without the double-asterisk (truer results) are weighted much more heavily by the system in order to create the season rating for each team than are results involving mismatched teams. In other words, in cases where it appears a team is taking a hit to their rating simply because they played a very weak team...the hit indeed exists (and it's important that it does because we strongly believe in strength of schedule) but it is not as large as it appears at first glance. The rating for a team generally just ends up being roughly the average of those non-grayed out games.

Software testing whether performed by developers, by QA, or by other post-developer testers is essential to ensure final code quality. It checks that the application does what the stakeholders intended it to do and that it meets certain levels of quality. However, when developing in Linux environment, there are unique challenges and problems that are confronted in testing. This article examines the principal ones and suggests some workarounds.
Different Methodologies and Ways to Test
Two of the most commonly used types of software tests run by developers are unit tests and integration tests. A unit test, which operates on a single unit of code such as a method or function, should be:
- Repeatable: You can rerun the same test as many times as you want
- Consistent: Every time you run it, you get the same result
- In memory: It has no "hard" dependencies on an external resource (such as the file system, a databases, or network)
- Fast: It should take a few milliseconds to run a unit test
- Validate one single concern or "use case" in the system: More than one can make it harder to understand where the problem is, and in turn hard to fix and check.
By comparison, integration tests try to verify the interfaces between components. They are meant to make sure the entire application works correctly together. Compared with unit tests, integration tests are slower than unit tests, harder or more time-consuming to create and run fully, and they do not pinpoint specifically where a problem is located.
Integration tests make a lot of sense in most systems in two particular configurations: as an additional layer of regression testing beyond unit tests to provide greater validation of the software, and in legacy code situations, where unit tests are considered hard to write. In the latter case, legacy code was often not written for testability, so that unit codes take too deep an approach to testing. Integration test can begin to tease out and verify the interactions between larger scale components in the legacy codebase.
While each form of testing has its benefits and pitfalls, they complement each other. Due to the multiple Linux distros and different toolchains, integration tests are necessary to make sure that not just pure logic is tested, but that the code works in different environments.
Linux is one of the most customizable operating systems, with a variety of toolkits and components. This is both a strength and a challenge when developing clean code. Many Linux developers prefer to hand-code, instead of using comprehensive IDEs that provide a development ecosystem. Linux has some of the best text editors available far better than what's commonly used in Windows.
Even with the best IDEs (like Eclipse or Netbeans), programming is not as streamlined and integrated as in the Windows world. Because of this lack of integration, developer testing is also not as streamlined, and often loses the benefit of immediate feedback.
Many Distributions and Tools
One of Linux's major strengths is that there are many distributions and everything is customizable. There are at least 10 major distributions, making up the majority of market share, and over 300 active Linux distributions, according to Distrowatch.
Each distribution has different preset configurations and pre-installed items that tests need. While multiple targeting is achievable, unit testing, which should just test code logic, may require a separate setup in different configurations.
Just as there are a variety of Linux distributions, there is also an abundance of development tools. Compilers in different versions require the test tools to comply with those versions and be set up properly. For example, in C++, you may need specific versions of the GCC compilers, and sometimes different Eclipse versions.
While the amount of customization and flexibility is one of Linux's core strengths, it also imposes almost infinite permutations to test.
Legacy Code
Because Linux is a popular and generally ideal platform for software development, software developers have used Linux since the kernel's inception. They've also migrated older Windows code to Linux as they move away from Microsoft Windows for their software development platform.
There's simply a lot of legacy code running on Linux. But testing legacy code can be very difficult, especially without the proper tools. New developers, new language standards, updates and new versions, and new project requirements quickly make manual testing very difficult. And without proper automated tests, if you change one thing, you'll probably break something else, and not even know it.
Writing unit tests in legacy code is considered hard. Code written without testability in mind gets either low coverage, or gathers tests which are not really unit tests, but requires integration tests. They don't run quickly, can be harder to debug when an error occurs, and they lack the immediate feedback that real unit tests give.
With few exceptions, the only way to test legacy code is via integration testing. It's usually hard or impossible to write unit tests for legacy code. Various commercial tools can help relieve that problem by being able to test components in isolation from others, without modifying the code. Integration tests can then serve as an additional smoke test to make sure you didn't break the integration between system components, one level above unit tests.
Multiple Targeting / Multiple Cycles
When doing multiple targeting, the code requires multiple cycles of testing. Some targets do not have unit testing capabilities, and require a work around of continuous integration, such as cross-compiling for specific configurations to run the tests. We see more and more multiple targeting when at least one of the targets allow for unit testing that tests logic. Since logic does not change on different platforms (2 is always bigger than 1), having a target that can run the unit tests is a great option to have in order to make sure the code works.

If you've watched the TV spots and trailers for the new Total Recall movie, you've probably noticed a giant metal skyscraper-like elevator, that takes citizens from one side of the planet, to the other. Yes, this movie replaces Mars with an elevator through the center of the Earth, and it's a huge part of the movie.
But how do you actually create an elevator that goes through the middle of the planet? We asked director Len Wiseman, and he explained how it works, and why he wanted it in his movie.
A lot of the set reports have mentioned the giant set piece called the China Falls. What can you tell us about this?
It's called The Fall in the movie. Our film doesn't travel to Mars — that was a big difference between ours and the original. But I still wanted to make sure there was a sense of traveling, almost traveling to space, within our film. So we created this Fall. It's basically a 30-story subway system that travels through the core of the Earth to the other side.
It's the only way to travel to the other side of the planet — with air travel now being restricted because of many things that you'll find in the film. It's not safe and it's toxic [to travel around the world by other means]. So the only way to travel across is through the core. And when you do that you hit the center of the Earth, you hit a zero gravity moment. That gives you the sense of almost space travel. I wanted to give people the feel of traveling to a different universe, even though you were on the same planet. That was really the reasoning behind it. It was very complicated to put together. To put all the engineers and everybody together what would really happen if you took a 30-story building travel it through the center of the Earth, how would the people sit, and how would they rotate. Because when you travel to the other side of the planet, everything has to be reversed. But the actual machine stays the same.
Here's a little glimpse of The Fall that we snagged from the trailer.

The average productivity of the American worker has risen 30 percent in the last decade, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That means the amount of work done in 1999 during a 40-hour workweek can now be accomplished in 31 hours, said Chris Kuehl, economist for the Fabricators and Manufacturers Association.
The businesses that have survived the Great Recession have done so largely because they figured out how to conduct business in a more cost-efficient way.
Being in the "more work with fewer people" mode help them see their way through the economic recovery, but it won't do any favors for the 14.8 million unemployed Americans who are looking for work.
The average productivity of the American worker has risen 30 percent in the last decade, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That means the amount of work done in 1999 during a 40-hour workweek can now be accomplished in 31 hours, said Chris Kuehl, economist for the Fabricators and Manufacturers Association.
"Companies have been a lot more expansive when it comes to technology, essentially replacing people with machines," he said. "There's a lot more outsourcing — instead of having their own payroll department, for example, they're having someone else do it. You do see a pretty slow job rebound (following a recession) because of productivity gains."
Productivity gains are an expected result of a recession, said Fred Rezazadeh, professor of business and economy at Rockford College. They're good for business overall — profits go up, which generally means higher wages — but absent increased demand for goods, they will depress employment levels into the recovery.
"The net effect is you're not going to have a return to the previous employment level," Rezazadeh said. "I think this is more so in the case of Rockford than at the national level because of our specific economy and the prospects for it."
Local businesses are already adapting to the "new normal" with different procedures and policies for their businesses.
"This happens in every recession," said Al Julian, vice president of marketing at Rockford manufacturer MegaFab. "You lay off some very good people, and then you find out you didn't need to do some of the things they were doing. When things pick up, you're still not doing them until you remember there was a reason you needed them in the first place."
MegaFab, 650 Race St., has hired extra help recently to help fulfill a $10 million order to sell equipment to a Russian train building facility. Although the plant is working at or above capacity, the contract ends in the fall — leaving no guarantee work will be steady afterward.
"There's a big hole in the end of the year," Julian said. "You can't hire people just to find out in three or four months you don't need them. Right now it's a bubble."
Where MegaFab has made long-term cuts is its business operations, especially sales.
"If you don't have the amount of work you used to have, you find better ways of using today's tools," he said. "We've developed some things to replace face-to-face contact. When things pick up, it would be good to get that back, but that market's got to come back quite a bit before we decide to change the way we're currently operating."

Prosecution to call more witnesses in NH trial of man charged with shooting police officer
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) � Testimony is resuming in the attempted murder trial of the man prosecutors say emptied his gun at a Manchester police officer with the intent to kill him to avoid capture.
Twenty-three-year-old Myles Webster of Litchfield is charged with attempted murder and other felonies in connection with the shooting of Officer Dan Doherty in March.
Jurors heard from 10 witnesses Wednesday, including Doherty, who identified Webster as the man he was pursuing when the suspect shot him multiple times.
Doherty testified in uniform but said he has not returned to work and it's undetermined when he will.
Webster's lawyers say their client didn't shoot Doherty and called it a case of mistaken identity.
The trial, which began Tuesday, is expected to last about two weeks.

This is the first developable surface plug-in which does what it promises." - Jan-Marten Rottiné, owner Waterline-Design & Marlon Weijers, owner Triple-Marine.
"I slept better at night knowing that all of the plate surfaces I had lofted with D.LOFT fit like a glove. Before D.LOFT, it was hit or miss as to how accurate my surface unfolding was and some parts fit and some didn't. Thank you for making my job much easier and opening the door to the potential projects that we can now provide as a direct result to D.LOFT."
Mark Hubrich, Engineering Manager, IT, BIM Waukegan Steel, LLC.
Single curved surfaces, also known as developable surfaces, are extremely important to modelling in various fields like marine design, architecture, product design, and art works. They help reduce manufacturing costs and tooling, yet no other software allowed designers to use them in a straightforward way with a high degree of precision and control. Things changed! EvoluteTools D.LOFT enables users to create developable surfaces between arbitrary 3d curves with a push of a button, hassle free.

Hard questions that need to be asked in this case:
1. How many followers does Winston Blackmore have in the U.S. or other places, e.g. Mexico, Nicaragua?
2. What does Winston Blackmore consider to be a "tithe"? In the old Mormon custom, a person kept only what they needed and gave the rest to the church. (In the mainstream LDS custom of today, members pay 10% of their gross earnings to the church.)
3. Do his followers in other countries "tithe" to him? How much?
4. Does Winston Blackmore keep a double set of books like the FLDS are famous for doing?

Samoa to upset England in Pool play and knock them out? Nearly happend in 03
have to laugh at the Aussie media talking up Australia after the "destroyed" Fiji 49-0 on the weekend.
Didnt our Juniors just put 60 on them the week before.
Especially as only about 4 of that starting Fijian line-up are expected to be in the first XV come World Cup time...
The thing is, as well as Samoa did in 2003, we still won by 13 points. I don't wanna come off as the token rabid Pom, but there's no way I can see Samoa beating us. They concede too many penalties at beakdowns so we'll kick the game out til they have to play catch up Rugby.

Software Contract Law
He has also published his presentation to the Conference of the Association for Software Testing on this topic. This contains lots of insights into the evaluation of licensing law but it does also contain screens full of legal small print (literally).
The focus of Cem's analysis is on the enforcement of warranties. In particular, the proposals would make software suppliers liable for damages suffered by their customers as a result of bugs which were known to the supplier but not disclosed to the customer. You can see why lawyers might be keen on this proposal: Have you suffered from Blue Screen Of Death? Turn those bugs into £££! Calls Claims Direct now!
On the other hand, certain things would become freer. For instance, under a "standard-form transaction" (i.e. one used by the general public, as opposed to an individually negotiated one) companies such as Oracle would be unable to prevent the publication of the unauthorised benchmarks. There might also be implications for certain aspects of the OTN licence, such as the recently discussed confusion over whether we can use a database downloaded from OTN at home for instructional purposes.

Outdoors Danielle Flestado @artdkf | May 1, 2020 "I miss the outside world. The last time I went outside of our house was on my birthday. We just bought coffee across our village and went back home immediately. This painting made me feel that I'm in a field, just appreciating the beauty of God's creation. Can you imagine the green grass and pink flowers?"
When everything around you suddenly turns dark, the first thing we'd prolly do, as humans, is to find and grab anything that is closest and nearest to us. We'll hold onto them for as long as we can, trying to collect ourselves and gather courage to adjust our eyesights to the pitch black environment that's consuming us minute by minute. And then you'd hear nothing. Your sense of hearing would somehow go off after not seeing anything for quite awhile. You'll let loose. Cry. Panic. You'll be exhausted for fighting your way out. Then just when you're about to stop and give up, you're no longer afraid. There's only this deafening silence and pithole of darkness that's gonna eat you up alive. And surprisingly, you'll make a home out of it.
You'll make a home out of the darkness that when a ray of light suddenly hits you, you'll try to avoid it. You'll try to cover your eyes. You'll try to cover your ears from the voices trying to help you get out of it. You'll try to hide because your mind and body will go against your will to come out and live. Because the darkness that used to scare you, now comforts you in a way you thought has helped you survived life. And you'll try to live. Day by day. In the darkness. Not knowing where to go. Not knowing where to start. Not knowing who is with you. You will try to live until the darkness that once surrounds you is now within you. And everyday, it's gonna be a cycle of subtle torture. But let me tell you a secret. The darkness won't make you whole.
You'll be broken. And in those hair-like cracks, the light will stubbornly fight its way through until it warms you up. Until you realize to check the switch and turn it on. Until you allow other people to help you find your way back in the light. Until you realize you're ready to live in light again. There's a light at the end of this long and dreading tunnel. The only question that matters: will you let them in?
I always thought of life, like a bead where each piece makes it worth sewing together with other piece of beads to make a stronger bond and to create a beautiful result. Today, how do we bond well with different people especially this difficult time? As this day challenges us to a new normal, may we continue to bead along positively with our life.

While we've been hearing for months about all of the very special guest judges who are taking on the audition rounds (from Neil Patrick Harris to Katy Perry and everyone in between), the looming question has been if anyone would take over the fourth seat vacated by Paula Abdul on a permanent basis. Well, we now have an answer: Yes, Ellen DeGeneres. Hiring the popular daytime talk show host and comedian instead of any of the music industy vets we had hoped for could be a stroke of genius -- or it could spell disaster for TV's top-rated program. We've weighed the pros and cons of Idol's newest judge.
Pro: She's not crazy
We loved Paula and her wacky nonsensical commentary, but it might be a refreshing change of pace to have someone who isn't sipping strange substances out of her Coca-Cola cup and slurring her speech attempting to give constructive criticism to the wannabes.
Con: She's not crazy
Paula's unpredictability was half of the fun of the show. Scholars could spend decades trying to figure out what she meant by certain comments. Having someone like Ellen might eliminate the wacky magic.
Pro: She likes to dance
Ellen's talk-show shtick is her lame dance moves, while we always enjoyed watching Paula sway obliviously along to the music like she wasn't actually working. We expect Ellen to continue in this grand tradition.
Con: She knows nothing about music
Ellen may have a DJ on her show and like to boogie, but she's not in the music industry at all. She's not a record producer or a former artist or even a Broadway star -- she's just a famous person with opinions and we've already got Randy (who is useless) and Kara (who is also useless) on the panel. Simon can't be the only one who actually gives honest and informed critiques.
Pro: She may finally put a stop to the weird gay comments between Simon and Seacrest Since she is out and proud, she might take offense to the annoying innuendo-filled banter between Simon and Ryan about who is really gay. We'd be thrilled if she was able to make that inanity end.
Con: We won't have to watch awkward flirting/fighting with Simon
Paula and Simon had one of the most bizarre relationships on television and that's something that Ellen won't be able to recreate. She's not interested in Simon sexually, so there won't be any tabloid fodder about a secret relationship, and there won't be that playful "I hate you" stuff going on, either, unless Ellen is able to channel her inner third grader.
Pro: She'll add some humor to the dull repetitiveness of Randy/Kara
We're hoping that she'll acknowledge her lack of music expertise and just go for the funny (like she did as a guest judge on So You Think You Can Dance last summer). Cracking jokes about costumes or her fellow judges or the particular theme of the week could lighten things up on the judging panel. And it will be better than just saying "pitchy" and "package artist" over and over again.
Con: Her comments will be irrelevant
Is anyone in America really going to give weight to Ellen's opinion over Simon's? Even if she tries to give a critique instead of making a funny remark, will she actually influence votes?
Pro: She's used to having a show and understands being succinct
Hopefully she'll be able to gather her thoughts (or her writers will help her pre-plan some jokes) so that she can deliver her line and not ramble on for 20 minutes, causing the live show to go way over schedule. She's a TV pro with ample hosting experience and is used to getting right to the point. Maybe she can even give Seacrest some tips.
Con: She might not be mean
Paula was always way, way too nice, but the last thing this judging panel really needs is another person to be sensitive to the talentless. Ellen might be afraid of hurting the feelings of the wannabes and resort to making a kind comment instead of using some biting wit to tell them what she really thinks. Can you imagine Kathy Griffin telling these contestants what they are doing wrong? That'd be awesome, and we just don't think Ellen has it in her.
Pro: She might help ratings
Clearly, the reason that producers hired her was because Ellen's a recognizable household name and will be able to use her daily talk show to pimp Idol. Not that the AI juggernaut is desperate, but it has been slipping in the ratings in recent years, so Ellen could potentially reinvigorate and grow its audience.
Con: She's not Paula
Sorry, Ellen, but Paula is forever our girl. Watching Idol without her would be like SYTYCD without Mary Murphy screaming. Mabye we'll eventually warm up to someone new, but it's going to be an awkward transition period until we get there.
What do you think about Ellen joining the Idol judges? Great idea, or major mistake? Leave your comments below.

On the Waterfront
Elia Kazan is one of the most passionate and intelligent directors of classic cinema. Even surrounded by controversy in his time, he continued to make films in which he knew exactly what he wanted to say to the American audience, who emitted a mixed response towards the film.
On the Waterfront is no exception. The idea of the screenplay, written by Budd Schulberg, was formed after The New York Sun put out an expose series about a 1948 murder of a hiring boss on the New York waterfront. The stories, reported by Malcolm Johnson, explained the corruption, extortion, and killings of everyday life on the waterfront. The protagonist of the film, Terry Malloy, played by Marlon Brando, is an ex-prizefighter who becomes a longshoreman. His character is based on real-life longshoreman Anthony DiVincenzo, who recounted his story to writer Budd Schulberg. This is not a typical mob-story. It deals with the Waterfront Crime Commision, was filmed on location around the docks of Hoboken, New Jersey, and alludes to issues of loyalty and truth within post-war American society.Continue Reading

Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou. Photo: Getty Images"Just making the trip for fun."
That was the assessment of Lance! – Brazil's largest and most respected daily sports newspaper – about Australia's prospects on the eve of this World Cup.
The Socceroos won't be progressing past the group stage, but the heart displayed in their 3-2 loss to the Netherlands in Porto Alegre best explains the rebirth under coach Ange Postecoglou and how they weren't in Brazil merely to samba.
Nothing makes the heart of Australian sports fans thump louder than their national teams giving highly-fancied rivals a bloodied nose on a world stage, and save for a telling minute when Socceroos forward Mathew Leckie missed from close range after Tommy Oar failed to shoot, and the beautifully named Memphis Depay put a bendy, swervy shot past Mat Ryan, the game could've been theirs. And this, against the Netherlands and their talisman, Robin van Persie.
Postecoglou's cold-blooded selection policy appears to have been vindicated – and that includes his controversial decision to overlook veteran defender Luke Wilkshire.
The decision to cut Wilkshire, a specialist right-back and experienced hand with 80 international caps, from the final 23-man squad has been widely criticised, not least after Ivan Franjic suffered a tournament-ending injury in the opening game against Chile.
But the unwritten reason has been known by some in football circles for some time, and it relates to Wilkshire's attitude off the park.
The 32-year-old's demise followed a series of incidents stretching back to the reign of former coach Holger Osieck, including his attitude while recovering from a soft tissue injury before last September's friendly against Brazil, and then failing to reach Postecoglou's new standards of professionalism as the Socceroos rebuild ahead of next year's Asian Cup on home soil.
Building a successful team has never just been about picking the best players, and the brave call sums up the new direction under Postecoglou, who has been unforgiving in moving on veteran players such as Wilkshire, captain Lucas Neill and Josh Kennedy.
''For a long time, we've leant on the same players,'' Postecoglou told me in an interview before leaving for Brazil. ''It's a privilege, not a right. I want our national players to be excited or disappointed if they miss out, not to expect it."
The trouble with Wilkshire started in September last year when he flew in from Moscow, where he plays for Dynamo Moscow, for the friendly against Brazil in Brasilia with a soft tissue injury, and support staff were not happy with the way he had treated the injury. He was turned around and put on the next flight back.
Then, in October, Wilkshire angered Socceroos officials with his attitude after his side had suffered a 6-0 loss that ended in Osieck's sacking.
The final straw came under Postecoglou, who has ushered in a fresh, professional approach, which heavily involves sports science. Players were asked to install an application on their phones, and feed in information about their bodies – about their diet and sleep patterns and so on – but Wilkshire did not follow the directive.
There have also been rumours of an incident in Vitoria, which other media have been chasing, but it doesn't seem to have any foundation.
Well, that's what we've been told. When this column started sniffing around the issue, FFA spin doctors threatened to restrict access to the national team and the All Stars match against Juventus at ANZ Stadium in August.
This directive did not come from the coach, but it is in stark contrast to his claim to this journalist before leaving for Brazil that he expected and even welcomed criticism if his side struggled in Brazil. If football wants to grow in Australia, tough decisions need to be made. Postecoglou is making his.
Wilkshire's axing has clearly been one of his toughest. But someone, somewhere along the line, should have been upfront about it from the start.
Calls and texts to Wilkshire's Russian number went unanswered.
So, Australia can hold their head high in defeat. Tim Cahill's dynamite goal was something to savour.
Postecoglou's side has attracted many new admirers, and they include the most unlikely of sources. Author Irvine Welsh, of Trainspotting fame, tweeted during the match: "I'm f—ing enthralled by this Aussie performance. Win lose or draw, bloody heroes."
So, now, to the Brazilians, where the expectations of 11 men also in yellow shirts is starting to gather momentum. On Tuesday in Sao Paulo, I watched Brazil play Mexico from the vantage point of the footpath, outside a cafe, with dozens of fans watching on.
The sight of Brazilian star Neymar crying at the end of the Brazilian anthem didn't raise an eyebrow, but it certainly illuminates the pressure the little fella is feeling.
At the top of the winding and narrow cobbled streets of Santa Teresa, in central Rio de Janeiro, I came upon a mural of Neymar already holding the World Cup aloft, with his teammates looking on from a cable car (see photo). It seemed exceptionally premature.
But then one local told me there had been an image of Argentinean counterpart Lionel Messi with his head in hands, depicting defeat in the final, right next to him.
Presumably, it had been painted out – and this was before Messi's stunning display against Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Widespread reports in the foreign press that model Gisele Bundchen will present the World Cup to the champions next month have been knocked on the head.
As it was explained to this column, Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff wanted to avoid the public spotlight because she feared being heckled on the world stage. But the model, to her credit, said she wouldn't be sullying her reputation. Brazilians respect her for that.
The anti-FIFA sentiment is still running strong and shows no sign of abating. When president Sepp Blatter has been shown on the big screen at live sights, the crowd started chanting, "Puta! Puta! Puta!" Translation: bitch.
As one sign (see photo) read on the Rio metro: "Who said that the World Cup is more important than health and education? F— CUP."
A lunatic cyclist doing about 70kph slipstreaming less than a foot behind a van in Sao Paulo.
At Rio airport, there is CCTV footage that shows your luggage being taken off the trolley and "placed" on to the conveyer belt. You'll never pack breakables again.
A Croatian grandmother forehead-slapping her two misbehaving grand kids before the opening match against Brazil.
And a man in Sao Paulo pleading with me to pay him to have my shoes shined.
I was wearing Havaianas.
And, finally, congrats to the NSW team and coach Laurie Daley for their epic win over Queensland in Origin II. The enduring image, from the vantage point of a Sao Paulo hotel room while watching on the internet, is of Josh Reynolds laughing as Johnathan Thurston gave him an elbow facial.
Go rugby league.
"Hey! Hey! Give me the f..king ball!" – England keeper Joe Hart blows up at a ball boy, before kicking an advertising board.
How do you keep at entire nation silent and also spark a chain of speculation that Liverpool and Arsenal want to sign you? Do what Mexican keeper Guillermo Ochoa did against Brazil and deny the host nation a goal in their second group match on Tuesday. "We just lost," said one Brazilian local.
What's worse? Prime Minister Tony Abbott calling Socceroos captain Mile Jedinak "Mike" in a pre-recorded speech. Or this tweet from former Socceroos star Scott Chipperfield, who said of Ivory Coast midfielder Serey Die: "Serey die looks like a typical African. Forget how to play. Need brains to play football." Check out the big brain on Scott.
It's a big World Cup weekend for … Cristiano Ronaldo, who said he had nothing to prove at this World Cup. Then his side was spanked by Germany. Portugal plays the USA in the Amazon.
It's even bigger World Cup weekend for … Rio de Janeiro. Let's just say, having been there in recent days, few people seem to be mindful of the shadow the Christ the Redeemer statue casts over the city. Fans from all corners of the globe are partying like it's their last day alive. Something has to give.

Story highlights
- Your house-trained dog might not be having accidents in the house just to spite you
- Older dogs can forget their training, a phenomenon called cognitive dysfunction
- If your dog is geriatric, it might be up to you to go back to the basics to prevent incontenance
They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Lately, I'm happy when my 8-year-old pooch Lulu remembers an old one: the ability to hold her potty breaks until we go outside.
If I've learned anything from writing this column, I know that correcting behavior issues can take time. Whether it's aggression, anxiety or even house-training, take measures to address an adult dog's behavior changes before the problem becomes unmanageable.
If your adult dog has been having accidents in the house lately, try these steps:
Schedule a veterinary exam: No, this is not a paid advertisement for the American Veterinary Medical Association. Dogs can't exactly tell you, "My tummy hurts," or "You were gone too long and I couldn't hold it." A thorough veterinary exam can identify conditions that cause dogs to behave differently, including blockages, intestinal issues or even tumors.
"A good bit of the time it has to do with some sort of physical problem," says animal behaviorist Kristen Collins of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA.org). "If it's an older dog, they can have serious issues with house-training. Also, they can forget; it's called cognitive dysfunction."
Many dogs reach their golden years at age 7 or 8, Collins says. Around that time, you can expect to see a reduction in energy level, confusion and — occasionally — house-training issues. (Here are tips to help your dog age gracefully.)
Determine what triggered the change: Behavior issues don't occur in a vacuum, says certified dog behavior consultant Amber Burckhalter, owner of K-9 Coach Bed and Bark in Smyrna, Georgia. Seemingly small changes, such as new food, kids returning to school or a different feeding time can make a huge difference to the dog. Take a moment to figure out when the problem first reared its ugly head. In my case, a new job led to longer hours away from home and a different feeding schedule for Lulu.
"It helps to keep diet and meal times the same," says Chris Redenbach, a certified dog behavior consultant and owner of The Balanced Dog Academy in Tucker, Ga. "If you change the routine, then you can run into problems where they aren't self-regulating anymore because their biorhythms are expecting the same kind of exercise."
Keep emotions in check: Nothing ruins a good night's sleep like being awakened by the pungent aroma of dog poop. At my house, that smell accompanies the tinkling of dog tags as Lulu attempts to slink out of the room at 1 a.m. Who wouldn't get angry when that happens? But Redenbach says anger only reinforces bad behavior, adding fuel to the fire.
"Reacting negatively means she is still getting attention," Redenbach warns. "She understands why you are annoyed, but creating emotionality around it can either reinforce her or create additional anxiety that could cause this to happen more."
Instead, take the dog for a long walk to stimulate bowel movements and avoid rushing them — even if it's 1 a.m. and you are outside in your pajamas. (Did I mention that change takes time? Add patience and a sense of humor to the list as well.)
Go back to basics: Accidents are common for geriatric dogs, says Burckhalter. To address the issue, implement Housebreaking 101. Start by monitoring the dog's food and water intake, and use the crate during down time. Consistency makes a big difference, so be sure to take the dog out at the same time each day, and designate a specific spot for potty breaks.
"Pretend the dog is a puppy or newly adopted dog," adds Collins. "Take the dog out frequently and, when it uses potty in the right place, make sure you are giving the dog rewards. It feels funny to give a reward for what they know how to do, but it's a refresher course."
If you have the space, Collins also recommends designating an indoor area, perhaps separated by a baby gate or X-pen, and covering the space with puppy pads. This will make cleanup less of a hassle. Collins says that many dogs will pick one area to relieve themselves. Over time, you can reduce the number of puppy pads.
Call for reinforcements: Take dogs out more frequently, and monitor crate time. After 10 hours, it may be physically uncomfortable for older dogs to wait for potty breaks, Collins says. It may be necessary to call for reinforcements, such as a friend, neighbor or professional pet sitter to check in on your pet during the day. Your veterinarian can provide referrals, and the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters offers a search tool on its website.
Dr. Marty Becker of Vetstreet.com also offers tips on selecting a professional pet sitter. Be sure to find out whether the sitter is bonded and insured, ask for references and make sure your pet is comfortable around the individual before turning over a set of house keys.
A professional dog walker has helped address Lulu's house-training issues. I also reduced the number of work sessions at the neighborhood coffee house in favor of my home office. I'll keep you posted on our progress.

How do I hide labels for data points with zero value?
There are a couple of ways to do this.
1) Format the label using a custom numeric format string to hide zeroes:
Chart1.Series(0).IsValueShownAsLabel = True Chart1.Series(0).LabelFormat = "{0;0;#}"
Or with keywords:
Chart1.Series(0).Label = "#VALY{0;0;#}"
2) Only show labels on data points with values other than zero: (Note, for some reason the inverse of this does not work for every chart type.)
For Each dp As DataPoint In Chart1.Series(0).Points If dp.YValues(0) <> 0 Then dp.IsValueShownAsLabel = True End If Next
Note that setting Series or DataPoint.Label overrides IsValueShownAsLabel and LabelFormat.Monday, April 2, 2012 9:34 AMModerator

For WPF Charts, try the WPF Toolkit.
For questions concerning the use of the toolkit, visit the WPF Toolkit Discussions site or the WPF forum.
If you really want to use the Windows Forms Chart Control in WPF, apparently there is a way to do it with a WindowsFormsHost control. Any questions on the usage of the WindowsFormsHost should also be asked in the WPF forum.

Chart displays incorrectly when all x values are zero
When all x values are zero, the chart control will automatically place the data points on the x axis based on their index instead of their x value. (Same as setting Series.IsXValueIndexed to true.) This is a feature in the chart controls that's intended to make charts with categorical (string) x values display properly, in which case the strings are assigned to the DataPoint.AxisLabel properties and the .XValue properties will be 0. Unfortunately it does not work well when all the x values are actually meant to be zero. Setting Series.IsXValueIndexed to false won't override this behaviour. Usually this is only a problem with scatter charts (Series.ChartType = SeriesChartType.Point.)
One way to get around this is to add a transparent dummy data point to the series in question that has an x value other than zero.
Dim series As Series = Chart1.Series(0) Dim area As ChartArea = Chart1.ChartAreas(0) Dim yValue as Double = series.Points(0).YValues(0) 'Make sure you already have some data in the series at this point. 'Determine whether every x value is zero Dim onlyZeroes As Boolean = True For Each dp As DataPoint In series.Points If dp.XValue <> 0 Then onlyZeroes = False Exit For End If Next If onlyZeroes Then 'Set x axis min & max to something suitable '(If not set, the dummy data point may affect the x axis limits) area.AxisX.Minimum = -1 area.AxisX.Maximum = 1 'Add a transparent point at an x position other than zero Dim dummyPoint As New DataPoint(1, yValue) dummyPoint.Color = Color.Transparent series.Points.Add(dummyPoint) End If
If you've explicitly set the AxisX.Minimum & .Maximum somewhere (not relying on the chart control to automatically adjust the x axis limits), you can just add the dummy data point without checking for zeroes.
Dim series As Series = Chart1.Series(0) Dim yValue as Double = series.Points(0).YValues(0) 'Add a transparent point at an x position other than zero Dim dummyPoint As New DataPoint(1, yValue) dummyPoint.Color = Color.Transparent series.Points.Add(dummyPoint)
Other workarounds include adding a very small value (Single.Epsilon for example) to any x value that is zero. In this case you may need to adjust the x axis intervals, limits and labels to ignore the addition.
In .NET 4.5 the correct way to handle this is by setting the series IsXAxisQuantitative custom property to "true".

X axis does not display every label
If using categorical x values (Strings), you'll probably want to show a label on the axis for every x value. However, by default the chart control will automatically adjust the x axis scale, label interval and font to make sure there are no overlapping labels. If there is not enough room for every label, some labels may be left out.
Most of the time an acceptable solution is to force every label to show by setting the x axis interval to 1. (Doing this may change the label font size and/or orientation.)
Chart1.ChartAreas(0).AxisX.Interval = 1
For different approaches and a more detailed explanation, see Alex Gorev's blog entry; Displaying Categorical Axis Labels

ChartDataTableHelper does not work
The ChartDataTableHelper is a utility class from the Samples Environment. It draws a table of values underneath the chart.You are free to use it in your project by copying the class from the samples project folder into your own prject. (Remove the namespace definition if that's causing problems.)
If you are using C#, you should be fine. See the usage in the samples environment.
The VB version of the class is buggy and won't even compile. It seems it has been converted to VB from C# with some tool. Here is a working version of the "Paint Event Handling" region:

How do I hide labels for data points with zero value?
There are a couple of ways to do this.
Chart1.Series(0).IsValueShownAsLabel = True Chart1.Series(0).LabelFormat = "{0;0;#}"
Chart1.Series(0).Label = "#VALY{0;0;#}"....
I am having the same issue of trying to hide my 0 values in my charts,
I have tried using
temp.EmptyPointStyle.IsValueShownAsLabel = false;
to no avail.
When I try using the

Questions are being raised about a story circulating earlier this week that WWE superstar Brock Lesnar is quitting the professional wrestling business.
According to a report in the 'Star Tribune' newspaper out of Minneapolis - St. Paul, Minnesota, the NFL's Minnesota Vikings have heard the news like everyone else but nothing is in the works with Lesnar. Mike Tice, the coach of the Vikings, told reporter Mark Craig that the franchise hasn't even spoken to Lesnar but it is true the team is looking for a defensive lineman.
Lesnar's college wrestling coach also told the 'Star Tribune' that he doesn't put any stock in the rumour as Lesnar has expressed an interest in a football career before but never explored the option.
"He's making millions in wrestling; he just bought a plane," Gophers wrestling coach J Robinson said. "What would you do? Give it all up with no guarantee of making it in the NFL? I think they're trying to hype WrestleMania."
Earlier this week, news circulated that Lesnar made his retirement announcement to the entire Smackdown! staff before the taping on Tuesday night. It is claimed that he cited stress and the travel schedule as the main reasons why his match at WrestleMania XX will be his last. Since Lesnar's foe at 'Mania - Bill Goldberg - is rumoured to be leaving the WWE after the event, some believe the Lesnar story is all a work to inject interest into the match.

AUSTIN - As tea party superstars smelling an upset close ranks around conservative insurgent candidate Ted Cruz, traditional Republican favorite David Dewhurst is leaning on his party's old guard.
The Texas lieutenant governor is hoping to regain the air of inevitability that once made him look like a slam-dunk in the race for U.S. Senate.
Dewhurst racked up another key endorsement on Thursday, appearing at a running-shoe shop in Austin with Texas Comptroller Susan Combs, who said the state has $6.1 billion saved in its rainy day fund because Dewhurst kept state lawmakers from raiding it.
"David Dewhurst, in the Senate, held the line in keeping that money set aside for the future," Combs said.
Cruz and Dewhurst square off Tuesday in a runoff election, with the winner considered the overwhelming favorite to prevail in November's general election.
Dewhurst has overseen the state Senate since 2003 from the powerful lieutenant governor's post.
He has been endorsed by Gov. Rick Perry and most of the Texas GOP establishment in the race for the Republican nomination to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.
He beat Cruz by 10 percentage points in the May 29 state primary but fell short of an outright majority in a field featuring nine Republican senate hopefuls.
Combs' nod came as state Sen. Dan Patrick, a Houston Republican, also endorsed Dewhurst. Patrick is a tea party favorite himself and has clashed frequently with the lieutenant governor, but he also got into a high-profile yelling match with Cruz during a recent radio interview. The race has become one of the nation's most-watched - seen as a test of the tea party's grassroots prowess against mainstream Republicans in Texas who don't lose many elections: a Democrat has not won statewide office here since 1994.
But this time the challenge is coming from the far-right, and coming hard. Cruz was in Dallas on Thursday for a major tea party rally featuring U.S. Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Mike Lee of Utah, as well as radio host Glenn Beck and former U.S. Rep. from Texas, Dick Armey.
Meanwhile, the Tea Party Express parked a bus doubling as a "mobile phone bank" in the Dallas suburb of Irving to get out the vote for Cruz.
Another major Cruz bash today in Houston was expected to feature former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. She had previously recorded a phone message to voters for Cruz but had not traveled to Texas on his behalf.
Cruz, the former state solicitor general, strikes a fiery, populist tone. The tea party also has targeted Dewhurst because, while he has overseen some of the most conservative legislatures in Texas history, he has also occasionally compromised with Democrats to approve key legislation.
Dewhurst also has a halting, at times uneasy speaking style. But he says he never reached out to national tea party leaders because he's been too focused on Texas issues.
"I'm comfortable that there are more Dewhurst voters in Texas than Cruz voters," Dewhurst said Thursday. "The challenge to both of us is turnout."
A court battle over redistricting maps pushed the Texas primary from Super Tuesday to May 29, which means the runoff is coming when many Texans may be on vacation. About 1.4 million people voted in the primary, but fewer than 1 million are likely to return for a second round of balloting.
Cruz has gotten millions of dollars from national conservative groups, including the Washington-based Club for Growth. Dewhurst, who has a personal fortune topping $200 million as the owner of an energy business, has lent his campaign more than $10 million. Both sides have flooded the airwaves statewide, with Dewhurst attacking Cruz as beholden to his out-of-state benefactors and Cruz branding the lieutenant governor as a two-faced moderate.
Cruz has vowed to win the runoff, saying his supporters are motivated enough to turn out no matter what.
"We're seeing very strong enthusiasm among our base. Not only voters, but volunteers who are block-walking, phone-banking and pouring their blood, sweat and tears into this campaign," said James Bernsen, a spokesman for the Cruz campaign.
Dewhurst is countering by campaigning with Perry the day before the election, visiting a San Antonio veterans center before heading to a joint fundraiser in Dallas.
But the lieutenant governor is also quietly mobilizing his own supporters. He's using networks of volunteers organized by groups across the state that have endorsed him, including the Texas Association of Business and the Texas Farm Bureau, which is especially strong in rural areas - where Dewhurst largely beat Cruz handily during the primary.
Also Monday, Dewhurst will make his first visit to his campaign's major phone-banking operation in Dallas to fire-up his hardcore supporters. Perry will also be there as will the Republican third- and fourth-place finishers in the primary, former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert and ex-NFL running back and ESPN commentator Craig James - both of whom have since endorsed the lieutenant governor.
"They're not just endorsing us and 'see you later,'" said Dewhurst spokesman Matt Hirsch. "They're out there campaigning for us." text text text

Veterans and Others
Web developer with no time
Veterans looking for retirement living or assisted living. Retirement living means that they are healthy seniors wanting to retire in a community of other seniors. Assisted living is different in that that the senior needs assistance because he or she has some condition that requires long-term nursing care or assistance.
The website needs to be visually compelling. Take a look at http://www.mydelwebbcharleston.com/ for clues on layout.
The colors will be red, white, blue and gold. The gold will help bring warmth to the site. It needs to be warm, but not over-stimulating or cheesy with the red and blue.
The name of the organization is "Veterans and Others". There is no logo at this point.
In the header on the right, we imagine some kind of rotating flash piece. Client likes an image like on the right of the header on this page: http://www.vfw.org/index.cfm?fa=new…l&did=5159. But it doesn't need to be gray scale.
From the example site, where you see the lady with the smiling face, this will be some kind of black and white Vietnam battle scene possibly, with the USA flag transparently laid over it and faded off. This part will not be flash - just an image.
To the left of this compelling image would be two blocks (sections) stacked vertically. The first section will read: "Looking for retirement housing?" and there will be a button that reads: "Find out more".
The second section would read "Looking for assisted living?" and there will be a button that reads: "Find out more".
Below all this (just as on the example site), there will be brief descriptive text.
Below the descriptive text, there will be a section that showcases 6 retirement communities. Take a look at the three communities shown next to each other in the horizontal format on this page: http://www.arv.org.au/pages/default.asp?pid=3. You could do something like that.

Abstract: A key characteristic of any trade bloc is its "flexibility" – the extent to which it can be modified or augmented by existing members. This paper investigates how prospective trade bloc members value the flexibility of proposed trade agreements in a changing trading environment. We demonstrate that country characteristics as well as the nature of the trade shock influence a nation's desire for trade bloc flexibility. Our model of endogenous coalition formation yields predictions that are consistent with three stylized facts which characterize regionalism: (i) overlapping trade agreements, (ii) the popularity of free trade areas relative to customs unions and (iii) renegotiation or disbandment of existing trade agreements is rare. Finally, for the first time in the literature, we provide clear predictions about the identity of "hub" and "spoke" trade bloc members when overlapping free trade areas arise in equilibrium.

My restrictions continue. I have managed to find a way to knit while lying flat on my back. However, it's not very fast and my wrists tend to go numb so I usually only knit a row or two at a time. Still, it's nice to be able to knit just a little bit.
Besides being bored out of my skull because I can't do anything, I'm also bored with TV. I've been spending a lot of time listening to XM Classics. (It's channel 864 on DirecTV.) The unfortunate (or maybe it's fortunate) side effect of lying down and listening to this station is that I usually fall asleep. However, I suppose sleeping a lot is good for me right now since it does allow the body time to heal. And believe me, it's time for me to be healed!

This webinar describes the use of real-time PCR in ingredient authenticity testing with specific reference to the example of detecting pork in manufactured foods. This type of testing could have a role to play in certification of foods and pharmaceuticals as suitable for consumption by particular religious or ethnic groups.
Real-time PCR also has applications in the assessment of food quality and safety. Testing facilities have to rule out the use of cheaper "filler" in expensive foodstuffs and show the absence of non-pathogenic organic contaminants in food and animal feed.
This webinar provides details on the types of ingredient authenticity testing that can be done using real-time PCR and shows data on the specificity and sensitivity of assays for the detection of pork in manaufactured foods.

5-4-09 PNC Park
Throughout the day, I thought for sure that batting practice would be canceled. It was raining this morning when I left for work. Raining when I went to lunch. Raining when I left work. Drizzling when I left for the game. So, imagine my surprise when I walked past the left field gates and saw the screens and cage being set up. (The Pirates needed the extra BP after not hitting a home run in more than a week and getting shut out yesterday).
Upon entering the stadium, there was one Easter Egg ball, but another ballhawk got to it first. The Pirates portion of batting practice was slow for me. I got ball #1 when Jason Jaramillo tossed me a baseball before the Pirates finished up at 5:15. Jaramillo was very gracious to all three regular ballhawks in attendance, hooking us each up with a ball.
The Brewers then came out and hit.
Maybe I should've tried for foul balls during the game?
A few action shows:
Paul Maholm deals:
Yovani Gallardo to Nyjer Morgan:
Gallardo throws a pitch:
After Matt Capps blew the save and gave up 4 runs in the 9th, I went to the Pirates dugout. (the Pirates lost their SIXTEENTH game in a row to the Brewers).
I usually get shut out at the dugout, having only received one ball there this year before today. The umpire, Bob Davidson came off the field and tossed me a really nice rubbed up game ball. Ball #7.
Not a bad night after all.
Here's today's balls:
And the sweet spots: (the 4th ball from the pitcher in center had MVP written on it)
The umpire ball is at the front and center.

Just got this Hugo Pratt watercolors book. Its huge and packed with watercolors...it could be the art book of the year. Great text to art ratio.
I really want to scan some of the pages and show you some wonderful examples of his work found in here- but the book is so big and heavy its close to impossible. Big and heavy as in filled with art and unscannable. Im serious. All I can do is snag some stuff off of the internets.
..a few of those additional samples- great stuff- Highly recommended. I got mine through Stuart Ng who is the guy you should buy all your books from- he is also good about friendly and quick replies when you have questions or are looking for advice on certain titles. Support his shop.
