transmit information between MultiValue BASIC and CURL.
Universe and Unidata have built in UniBASIC extensions that make the job of
calling to a HTTP web server relatively easy. If you look into the UniVerse
and/or UniData BASIC extension manual, you will see references to the
CallHTTP functions that were added. These functions isolate a lot of the
complexity of writing the HTTP protocols by hand, but they still require you
to do some work. The subroutine included with this article removes that set
of complexity by creating a single subroutine that you can call.

Team Ratings
Manchester City
J. Hart
Very poor on Rooney's first goal as he allowed a mishit effort to trickle into his corner without making even a late dive. Probably should have been quicker to react for Young's disallowed strike, as well.
P. Zabaleta
Young got the better of him too often in the first half but he improved in the second and his thumping equaliser was well struck.
V. Kompany
The City captain made the difference in the home derby last season but had to withdraw after just 20 minutes this time around, a groin injury seeing him off. Whether it hindered him in his side's lax defending for Rooney's opener a few minutes previously is unclear.
M. Nastasić
Slacked off along with the rest of his defence for Rooney's opener but considerably more solid than Kolo Toure next to him.
G. Clichy
Bypassed frequently by both Rafael and Valencia in the first half and exerted little authority on the left flank.
S. Nasri
Often bullied out of the match by Carrick in a slow and ineffectual first half. Played the simple passes well enough in the second but no real penetration and offered no clear tactical benefit. Capped off his ineffective display with negligent and frankly stupid behaviour in the wall to deflect Van Persie's free kick into the net.
G. Barry
Made some good defensive interceptions when forced back but not always strong enough in the middle.
Y. Touré
Quiet in the first half but showed brief signs of his latent power. Set up just how he likes it after an hour when Tevez pulled it back for him to fire home from the edge of the area. Never quite exploded, though, and withdrawn for Dzeko late on.
David Silva
Grew into the game and caused problems for the United back line in the second half. Came close when he jinked away from a defender and lifted an ambitious shot against the bar. By the end of the match, was a key influence and had another effort saved.
M. Balotelli
Assigned to a flitting role behind Aguero, the Italian got around the pitch often enough but was guilty of thumping a great early chance way over and needed to show more drive. Subbed off early in the second half after infuriating Mancini with a failed backheel when application, rather than showboating, was required.
S. Agüero
As is often the case, one of City's most determined even during their poor spells, at one point pushing through four challenges on the edge of the box through sheer force of will. Too often struggled against Ferdinand, though, and misplaced too many passes.
Manchester United
De Gea
Restored in goal thanks to Anders Lindegaard's wife going into labour, the Spaniard was mostly solid at the back and distributed with accuracy. Did not deserve to concede to Yaya Toure after doing brilliantly to stop two shots in the preceding scramble. Nerves crept in towards the end, though.
A. Young
Put in a fine shift both offensively and defensively, justifying his selection in such an important game. Wrongly called offside when slotting home a rebound prior to Yaya Toure's goal.
A. Valencia
Such an important player for the Red Devils, his return was an obvious boost as he linked up well with Rafael, combining relentless drive in the first half with strong tracking back throughout. Taken off for Jones near the end.
A livewire on the right flank before the break, combining fluidly with Valencia and supplying a good cross for Rooney's second. Withdrew as United settled in for the counter after half-time.
P. Evra
Missed a header in the second half that would have offered some much-needed comfort in the edgier period after the break but solid enough at the back, for what little threat the likes of Nasri posed.
R. Ferdinand
During the periods when United's midfield controlled the game, the veteran could concentrate on seeing off the constricted Aguero and did so effectively. An established and reliable showing, including an important block in the second half.
T. Cleverley
His energy was important in United's domination of the first half and he was a willing runner in attacking moves. Spent by the end, as City exerted more control, and replaced by Welbeck.
M. Carrick
Strong and authoritative as he and Cleverley took control of the middle ground and made an excellent pass in a tricky position to keep the move flowing for Rooney's second goal.
R. van Persie
A quite glorious chested pass was the catalyst for the first goal and the Dutchman's play was typified by less obvious but nonetheless crucial contributions. Picked the right times to dart forward and pull defenders away from Rooney in the first half and so unlucky to hit the post with a brilliant shot on the hour. Missed with a second-half header but deserved his late goal, despite the deflection, for his contributions.
W. Rooney
Given too much space – thanks in part to Van Persie's runs – and, despite a seriously mishit shot for his first goal, was in a real striker's mood. Found the right positions and became the highest ever goalscorer in Manchester derbies as a result.
K. Touré
It was a surprise to see him replace Kompany ahead of Lescott and the Ivorian looked out of place. Careering around the pitch without the faintest sign of finesse at either end, the defender looked overweight and should have conceded a penalty for a shove on Evra.
E. Džeko
Came on late for Toure but could not repeat his supersub heroics.
C. Tévez
Brought on soon after the break and perked up the City attack with some much-needed bite. His dogged assist to set up Yaya Toure amid a chaotic penalty box was excellent.

Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, a likely Republican presidential candidate, made a trip to the most important swing state's Capitol, but he wouldn't answer the most important question on the minds of political insiders.
Should Florida be punished for having an early primary?
"I'm going to run in the Florida primary whenever they have it," Barbour said, declining to give a yes or no answer. "And I'm going to run in the Florida primary if I run for president. I'm going to run to win the Florida primary whether they have any delegates or have as many delegates or twice as many delegates or no delegates. So it's up to Florida, what they want to do."
Right now, Florida's Republican legislative leaders want to keep the primary right where it's called for in statute: Jan. 31.
But if the vote happens on that date, the state would lose at least half of its 116 delegates at the Republican National Convention, which is to be held in Tampa in August 2012. The embarrassment of losing delegates – the activists who officially nominate their party's presidential candidate – has split Republicans inside and outside Florida.
Grassroots leaders want the primary moved so that the state is afforded its rightful place at the convention. But legislative leaders want the early primary to remain to ensure Florida is afforded the respect it deserves in national politics.
Republicans need to in order to win the White House. The state in 2012 will have 29 delegates – more than 10 percent of the total needed to win the Electoral College.
Without Florida, it's almost impossible for Republicans to make up for the solidly Democratic states of California and New York.
Florida Senate President Mike Haridopolos, who meets with Barbour Friday, says Florida should go fifth, with Iowa and New Hampshire leading the way. Florida House Speaker Dean Cannon, who chatted with Barbour Thursday, said he's not set on an order, but wants Florida to have a primary date that emphasizes its importance.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott, who'll also meet Friday with Barbour, said Florida shouldn't jeopardize its delegates by hosting an early primary.
Barbour, like other likely Republican candidates, is largely staying out of the fray because it's fraught with political peril. Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina are all threatened by Florida's decision to flex its political muscle and thereby blunt the force of their early votes.
Barbour, who addressed the House Republican caucus Thursday, didn't disguise the purpose of his visit.
"I'm here because I'm thinking of running for president," Barbour told the caucus. "I'm not going to make an announcement until the end of April. But if I run I'm going to run to win Florida."
Barbour said the 2012 playbook will look a lot like the Republican strategy in 2010, when he ran the Republican Governor's Association as a conservative wave washed across the nation.
"We need to keep this election about policy," he said. "Let's make this election about spending, we republicans I think need to be careful that we don't fall into root-canal Republicanism and the idea that we want to cut spending for the sake of cutting spending and we don't care about people. Cutting spending is a means to an end."
Barbour chose the perfect day to visit. Earlier, a Quinnipiac University poll showed that a majority of Florida voters disapprove of President Barack Obama's job-performance and think he should be a one-termer. A plurality of Floridians prefer a generic Republican candidate to Obama.
But another poll, conducted by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal, suggested Barbour didn't have much of a chance at this point. It showed Donald Trump tied in second place behind former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney.
What did Barbour think?
"It shows you the value of polling," he said.

So does the world really need another firewall? F5 wants to capture customers that have already bought into Big-IP with a consolidation story: add our software and spare yourself the hassle of running separate boxes from another vendor. I'm all for competition in the tech market, and I think F5's pitch may resonate. That said, there's always a good argument for not putting all your eggs in one basket (even if that basket runs in a high-availability cluster). Cisco, Check Point and other competitors also won't sit quietly at the thought of customers being poached. What's your take on F5's approach? Are they on to something, or do you feel more comfortable running separate tiers of devices?
We got some interesting responses from readers. Check out what they had to say.
One reader responded: I'm not a security expert, but have been in WAN/LAN networking for the last 17 years working with customers and partners, so I have a sense of how this might go. The one consistent theme you hear from the security folks is "layered security." I don't see existing customers of any other product pulling out stuff just to put in F5's product, even if it's great. On new F5 installs, I CAN see customer's considering the FW option IF it might save them some money AND they're not hugely invested in another product. I can't see F5 pushing this too hard, though, in Cisco shops, since they've found a very comfortable niche in what I'll call the 'Cisco ecosystem.'
The minute Cisco starts seeing any measurable impact to their share, you can bet they will be hammering their loyal VARs to quash this (and they are the most loyal foot soldiers in the land) before it gains too much steam. All in all, impact will be fractional percentages of market share, mainly at the expense of other firewall-only vendors. Cisco's channel is way too formidable for this to be a concern. Now if only HP had a true firewall product, there you might see more impact. They should have picked up Sonic Wall before Dell did. Perhaps they'll wake up and look at Fortinet.
One last thought: enterprises that are compromised for rack space, particularly in remote office deployments, might find this F5 product attractive.

Reader Gonzalo Cervantes was more bullish on F5's move:
I think F5 is going in the right direction. Layer 7 firewalls go hand-in-hand with the application delivery controller functions. For the most part, if you are trying to balance some application, you may want to protect it while you're at it, and F5 is packaging those functions. It comes down to: Will F5 do it right? A10 is coming out with similar code for their AX platform, but the question is the same: Will it be done right?
I agree with the 'putting all the eggs in one basket' argument, but HA clustering allows you to deal with a single point of failure.
Frank Antico, who works for Cisco Systems, also had an opinion.
This is because they are going after a consolidation approach for virtualization. Cisco is the only vendor in the market that can deliver Hyper-V bypass with its Nexus 1000v for VMware virtual environments, with our Nexus switching for the data center and vpath and rise API, we can apply firewall and load balancing at network speeds to a virtual environment.
I would imagine F5 is trying to compete with us, but it is hard when they don't have the network footprint and the level of integration we bring for virtual environments.

France's socialist government seized on better than expected economic growth figures to reject concern that France could become the next focus of the euro zone crisis, insisting it is acting to reform the flagging economy.
"France is not the sick man of Europe. France remains the world's fifth largest economic power that has all its resources but which needs to recover its competitiveness," Pierre Moscovici, the finance minister told the FT.
Recent forecasts of weak French economic performance from the EU and the International Monetary Fund have fuelled fears that the country could exacerbate the euro zone recession if President François Hollande's six-month-old government does not enact structural reforms similar to those underway in Italy and Spain.
The German government has barely hidden its suspicion that Mr. Hollande is not doing enough to address its competitiveness problems and concerns are mounting among European policy makers that the financial markets could turn against France.

The French government was boosted on Thursday by official figures showing its economy had eked out growth of 0.2 per cent in the third quarter, against expectations of flat or negative growth.
But gross domestic product in the euro zone as a whole fell back into recession for the first time in three years, shrinking 0.1 per cent in June to September as Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria and the Netherlands contracted sharply, according to the EU's statistics office.
Prime minister Jean-Marc Ayrault visited Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin on Thursday to rebut German government worries. "Our goal is to return to growth,'' Mr. Ayrault said. "France has its own history and my challenge is to reform what is not working and correct what is weak, while retaining our core values." Ms Merkel said: "I wholeheartedly wish success to what is being set in motion in France now."

In an interview with the Financial Times, Mr. Moscovici said: "No, we are not implementing the same reforms as Italy and Spain because we are not Italy or Spain. We don't have the same weaknesses. So we will implement reforms à la Française. They will be more ambitious than any [French government] before us."
He said the government's projection of 0.8 per cent growth in 2013 – twice the EU and IMF forecasts – was "not beyond reach", especially if the euro zone stabilized, boosting confidence.

"Contrary to received wisdom, the French economy retains real potential. It is not a weakened economy without resources. The question is, are we capable of mobilizing these assets to rebuild our economic power," Mr Moscovici said.
Apart from its commitment to reducing its budget deficit to 3 per cent of GDP next year, the government has met demands from business for urgent action to address France's slide in competitiveness by reducing labor costs by 6 per cent and unveiling a range of measures to spur investment and business growth. Employers and trade unions are discussing labor market reforms.
"The mood has changed," Mr Moscovici said. "Up until 15 days ago the mood was that France was a country of all the taxes – [people were saying] we have to flee, we're leaving, we're leaving. Now the mood is that we are building a contract and we will invest and employ."

Shoulder Tendonitis/Bursitis
Ghilayne replied to ThisIsMelissa's topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkI had a similar injury at 30 years old. After multiple trips to the Dr and finally deciding to take the cortisone shot, I asked if that'd cure the problem. When the Dr. said no I decided to live with it without the shot. A friend of mine told me that a mutual friend had studied to be a chiropractor but hadn't set up shop. The guy popped my arm back into the socket and it started getting better immediately. Remember, your doctor will never EVER recommend a chiropractor, but it helped me immensely.
Does Anyone Out There Truly Support Themselves With Their Ceramics/pottery?
Ghilayne replied to terraforma's topic in Business, Marketing, and AccountingMea, Fabulous article in this issue of Ceramics Monthly. It was the first thing I read, and still thinking about, honestly. Thank you for sharing; it's hugely helpful as my husband and I pursue our goals with our budding studio.
Oh dear. A steno is not a what, so much as a who. A steno pad is that specific sort of notebook used by a stenographer, someone who can write in short-hand. There are various versions of shorthand... and yes, there are still some of us alive who can read and write it (You're really just teasing in asking this question, right?). Anyway, steno pads have remained popular even though the day of dictation to a person has long passed to dictating to a machine -- and on the verge of moving to the sort of machine that doesn't need a human to then listen and transcribe. Why is the little notebook so popular? Who knows. But for me, it's just the right size to take with me, the covers are hard enough to act as a clip board, and the line down the middle is list-making-licious.
The Proper Inappropriate Use Of Tools
Ghilayne replied to Tom's topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkQuilting tools! I love my old plastic mats with lines and measurements marked, as well as having a collection of plastic piecing shapes, also with lines marked. Hexagons, triangles, squares, circles, scalloped shapes -- all great. A pizza cutter instead of a rotary fabric cutter saves ruining an olfa blade and lessens the chances of cutting yourself along with the clay. The plastic templates for quilted stiching come in a near endless variety of patterns and the cut-outs are usually wide enough to mark directly on the piece. Stencils meant for painting work just as well in our clay studios. Old drafting tools are wonderful studio additions, too. No off-angle pieces with a T-square, and the bendy metal curves allow for making all kinds of lines. Drafting templates are also useful, but they also tend to be much smaller, thinner/bendier plastic and more delicate than the quilting shape templates. And, having appropriated my husband's leather stamps has brought a new form of heaven to the studio, too. Kitchen tools tend to get left alone -- my husband is a delightful cook, my son is studying to be a chef -- so I pretty much limit myself to "can you get one of THOSE for me for the studio?" when I see one of their goodies that I like. Ok, so I borrowed the pie crust punch patterns a couple of times... but washed them thoroughly afterward!
Creativity seems to grab me when I'm at my bread&butter job and supposed to be focused on that instead of clay! However, I keep a little notebook and jot things down in that. It's one of the heavy-duty sorts that Barnes & Noble carries with the thick wire binding, heavy cardboard covers (usually nicely decorated) and thick paper that doesn't mind being erased or having correction fluid slathered on it. These little notebooks are usually inexpensive; some have lined paper, some don't. I prefer the lined paper since I'm a wreck with drawing, and at least if one side is straight, between scribble and written description, the idea stays reconizable.
Pottery Studio Etiquette
Ghilayne replied to ksasser's topic in Educational Approaches and ResourcesAmen to this one! Mess aside, you never know what particles you could be ingesting. That may sound like the Disney elephant-child afraid of germs (except with me, chemicals!), but you can't be too safe.
Does A Classy Wheel Make Better Pots?is It Time For An Upgrade?
Ghilayne replied to clay lover's topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkI'm in the market for a wheel, too... has anybody used Creative Industries wheels? I love the Brent machines at the studio where I'm a member, but the ads Iv'e seen for the "Big Boss" wheel look enticing. The reviews I've found seem mixed and not always up to date -- the latest here being from last year. Or would that age even matter? I mean, how often do pottery wheels change, certainly not like buying a used car? Thank you.

Ghilayne replied to Ghilayne's topic in Clay and Glaze ChemistryThank you -- as a bonus, we can visit with family some while we're down there.
Virginia Clay
Ghilayne posted a topic in Clay and Glaze ChemistryHello, Does anybody know if there's a vendor out there who sells clay by the region where the clay originated? I'd like to start working clay originating in Virginia, and, while it would be satisfying to go digging raw clay from my stepfather's farm and preparing it myself, I'm pretty sure it would be time and labor prohibitive. Thank you, Ghilayne
Ceramics In Fiction
Ghilayne replied to AngelaM's topic in Educational Approaches and ResourcesHeh. I'm working on a short story about a serial killer who is a potter. I chose potter because the killer disposes of the bodies by incinerating them in kilns, then grinding the ash and keeping it in ceramic funerary urns. Hopefully the potter in the bad murder mystery you read doesn't have the same habits I hope even more that my story isn't as bad as the one you read!

4106 shore power quit working
August 28, 2013, 01:31:09 PM »
Hey all,
I bought my 4106 three years ago and thus far have not had to ask any questions on this forum. But that all changed yesterday when I went into the bus and saw red lights on my Xantrex panel (see attached pic). The bus has not been driven at all this summer so I was a bit surprised.
I checked the shore power coming into the bus and a meter showed that I was getting 125V into and through my main cutoff switch and into my ATS, but nothing was coming through the switch (see attached pics). Inside the switch box are what appear to be two relays and I am pretty sure that until this week, when I plugged in the shore power I heard one of those relays activate. Today, the relays do not activate even though power is coming to them and even manually pushing them in does nothing, so no power is going on downstream.
Between my trifocals and my neck that doesn't bend too well any more, it is really difficult for me to look down into the relays to see if there are any burn marks, but I don't see any and don't smell any burn smell. So before I ante up the price for a new switch (that will be unreturnable) I wanted to check with y'all and see what you thought.
The switch is a Magnetek ATS 100 and I read that they are no longer around, so if this switch has to be replaced, it will be difficult for me to figure out which wire goes where since a replacement will undoubtedly have a different configuration. According to the PO, this thing is wired through a toggle switch on the dash which enables charging of house batteries by the bus alternator, but I don't have a clue where that loop ties in or how that works and I got no schematics of the home grown wiring with the bus, so I am on my own.
To make matters worse, when I opened the bay door to get to the wiring, the rubber hinge broke and the door fell off. I knew this day would come and had previously bought the rubber hinge material, which I am ready to replace. I managed to get the little screws out and am ready to slide the rubber pieces out of the channel. The question I have though is how do you slide the old piece out or the new piece in when there is no gap at either end of the body side channel to slide the rubber into the channel? I am sure I am the only one on this forum who does not know the answer to this, but it has me stumped (see attached pic) - there is no gap forward or aft.
I am leaving town for a month (without the bus thankfully) in a couple of days and can wait to fix the electrical problem, but I sure do want to get the bay doors back on before I leave, so any guidance would surely be appreciated.

Most 06s had the gap at each end of the strip, both in the door and the coach. Some I have seen have the gap in the center of the groove on the coach and at each end of the door, obviously you have to position the rubber into the coach strip first. Use liquid dish soap as a lubricant, NEVER ANYTHING PETROLEUM . Another tip, If you are unfortunate enough to loose a hinge strip while out on the road, no problem, the closing mechanism is designed to lock the door solidly into the hole, just center the door into the hole and latch it, it cannot fall out without being unlatched..>>>Dan

I can't offer any help with the "shore power" but I have changed all my bay hinges over the years. Utahclaimjumper has got it right. I might add, that you remove the old strips from the door and coach. Clean both tracks and install the replacement material on the coach track including the set screws. As said before "juice" the rubber up and slide the door onto the remaining hinge then install those screws and you're done. I found this information in my owners manual.The biggest problem I had was cleaning the track so the rubber could slide. Maybe a gun cleaning kit would help.

Once you remove the hinge rubber take a 3 ft 3/16 or 1/4 inch wooded dowel((cheap at Ace,HD or Lowes) slit the end slide a piece of emery cloth into the slit the use a low speed drill it will clean the channels like new then use a tire mounting lube from NAPA like Murphy s, dish soap tends to dry to fast when working alone
With installed hinge rubber in channels take Vise Grips on each end and stretch as hard as possible any wrinkles will shorten the life of the hinge and miss align the door BTDT

Bob, I had the same problem recently. My batteries were "dead", therefore the shore power was not going through the inverter. Bought new "house" batteries and everything is fine. I see your inverter is showing very low voltage on your batteries.

Hi all - thanks for the responses. I am also glad to hear that a door that falls off can be locked in place on the road; that is one thing that has always bugged me since I knew these hinges would eventually fail.
luvrbus - thanks for the tops on cleaning the grooves - I will go to NAPA tomorrow and get some tire mounting lube
Dan - the picture I attached that shows no gap is representative of the whole bus; there are no gaps anyway to slide the rubber in to, either at the ends of the channel or anywhere in the middle. I guess I could cut a gap if I had to....
Dave - I plan also tomorrow to reroute the wiring around the ATS to the inverter since it might be a while before this all gets fixed.
Gary - I assumed the low voltage shown on the panel was because the the batteries had been discharging for a while now with no juice going into the bus to recharge them. I sure didn't think though that 'dead' batteries would keep house current from getting to the inverter. The house batteries are old though and I had been planning to replace them before my next trip; I guess I will go ahead and bite the bullet sooner rather than later and pop for new ones.

That tire mounting lubricant is called Ruglide; been around for years. Good to keep around for other uses too, like installing windows or lubing rubber parts.

There is a gap in the center of the hinge on the inside of the portion attached to the body. Insert one end of the rubber into the center gap and then the other end. The door has to be slid on from one end after the rubber is installed into the body.
The automatic transfer switch is for 50 amp shore power, but since the bus is wired for 30 amp shore power, only 2 terminals on each relay are used. The right side of the relays are the output from both shore and generator, since there are jumpers between the 2 relays on the right side. The top relay is for shore power. the bottom relay is for generator, since there are wires on the input (left) that go to the time delay, allowing the generator to get up to speed before the relay engages. If the transfer switch is working on shore power there should be power on both sides of the top relay.
The switch on the dash and the relay to allow charging of the house batteries has nothing to do with the transfer switch. That is strictly for the 12 volt DC system.
I notice that the remote panel for the inverter indicates "inverting" why do you have the inverter inverting when you are hooked to shore power? That just facilitates killing the batteries if you lose shore power.
Good luck, Sam

The gap is in the center of the channel, visible from the bay if looking up at the channel. It's approx 1.5" long. Insert one end of the rubber, pull it to the end, then insert the end of the rubber and pull that to the opposite end. That's it. It's there, just hard to see, especially when you don't know exactly what you're looking for.

Yep, you are right - I expected the gap to be visible above the bay doors, not to have to crawl under and look up. Now I can finish the job - thanks!
Also, I talked to Sam4106 and I think I know how to proceed as far as figuring out the ATS problem - we both agreed that it is probably a faulty relay coil, which might be an easy fix.
Thanks for everyone for their input!

Luke passed on a hint for replacing hinges. I have not tried it yet but he should know. His suggestion was to cut a couple inch piece of the new hinge since they are over length and use it with plenty of water to clean and insure that the new hinge will slide all the way in. Use nothing petroleum based to clean or install.
I bought a whole rack full of stuff at an auction that had an unopened gallon of Ruglide. It will get used for sure.
Good luck

Fantastic initiative by Google. Anna Peirano details: "Google is launching a new campaign called 'Legalize Love' with the intention of inspiring countries to legalize marriage for lesbian, gay, and bisexual people around the world. The 'Legalize Love' campaign officially launches in Poland and Singapore on Saturday, July 7th. Google intends to eventually expand the initiative to every country where the company has an office, and will focus on places with homophobic cultures, where anti-gay laws exist." As proud as I am of living in the first country to legalise same-sex marriage, it's easy to forget we only did so in 2000. Also, it's about time the large technology companies of the world started using their power, reach, and money to do good. Hopefully, this initiative will transcend company boundaries, uniting them behind a common, noble goal.

They are just (stupidly) following a trend. I doubt that Steve Ballmer or Bill Gates has the same personal opinions as Microsoft's "official" opinion.
If it will be trendy and fashionable to promote pink flying pigs MS will promote pink flying pigs. And so will Apple and others. Corporations are full of hypocrites - at least in the PR departments.
If they didn't personally agree, they wouldn't have each made personal donations.

Five Clarkson students learned firsthand how these businesses grow during a two-and-a-half week trip to Uganda in May. The trip was the final chapter in a Global Business Experience course taught by Professor of Consumer & Organizational Studies Augustine Lado, who also led the overseas excursion. Lado, who is Sudanese-American, grew up in Uganda.
"Microbusinesses are usually defined as employing seven people or less," says Lado. "In Uganda, many of these businesses are operated by just one or two people. Our interests lie in understanding the ecology of business there - how entrepreneurs navigate the challenges of doing business at the grassroots level, from securing start-up funds through loans and complying with local government regulations and policies."
Lado and the students spent time at three companies: Numa Feeds, a company that processes animal feed and human foodstuff such as sorghum and millet; Mukono Vanilla Spices & Horticulture, which cures, processes and packages vanilla beans; and Gumutindo Co-operative Coffee Enterprise, which works with local coffee farmers and international nonprofits to distribute its Fair Trade organic coffees to coops across the United States and Europe.
Numa Feeds, which is located in a small rural area in southwestern Uganda, some 300 kilometers from Kampala, the capital city, buys its grain from local farmers' cooperatives and then processes, packages and sells the grains in and outside the community. Small businesses like Numa Feeds rely on low-interest loans from nonprofit agencies. In this case, the company received a micro loan from U.S.-based African Development Foundation (ADF). These nonprofit funding sources are important as commercial banks in Uganda often charge exorbitant interest rates: as much as 48 percent for first-time business owners. Moreover, by working directly with the local farming cooperatives, the profits generated by Numa Feeds and similar microbusinesses are retained within the community.
For Brittnie Carroll '10, understanding the political economy of microbusiness was a revelation. "I learned the most about the entrepreneurs in Uganda during our visit to Numa Feeds," she says. "This business really demonstrated how micro-finance can be used to enhance business and the quality of life in Africa."
It was through Lado's professional relationship with ADF that the Clarkson group was able to visit the companies and meet with the owners and workers. The group visited a commercial bank to learn about loan processing, and also met with officials from the Uganda Investment Authority (UIA). The UIA acts as a liaison between government regulatory agencies and private businesses.
At the Mukono Vanilla Spices & Horticulture, the students even went into the fields with the farmers to see just how much physical labor goes into growing and harvesting vanilla beans.
"It is important that people see all the work that goes into the things we buy and take for granted," says Lado.
The trip also provided a window into the culture of doing business in Africa. "It was interesting how the vanilla spice company ran, for example," says Scott Robinson, a student in The Clarkson School. "It was different than how it might be run here. Although they work very hard, the entrepreneurs and the whole culture of business seems much more laid back, less frantic."
Although based in Kampala, the group traveled throughout Uganda in a rented car. Their excursions included a boat ride down the Nile and a two-day trip to a Game Reserve in Kenya.

Transparency Agenda
Government has set out the need for greater transparency across its operations to enable the public to hold public bodies and politicians to account. This includes commitments relating to public expenditure, intended to help achieve better value for money.
As part of the transparency agenda, Government has made the following commitments with regard to procurement and contracting:
- All new central government ICT contracts over the value of £10,000 to be published in full online from July 2010.
- All new central government tender documents for contracts over £10,000 to be published on a single website from September 2010, with this information to be made available to the public free of charge. Please see our Freedom of Information page for Contracts Transparency on http://www.bl.uk/aboutus/foi/transparency/transparency.html.
- New items of central government spending over £25,000 to published online from November 2010. Please see our Freedom of Information page for Financial Transactions Transparency on http://www.bl.uk/aboutus/foi/transparency/transparency.html
- All new central government contracts to be published in full from January 2011.
Suppliers and those organisations looking to bid for public sector contracts should be aware that if they are awarded a new Government contract, the resulting contract between the supplier and Government will be published. In some circumstances, limited redactions will be made to some contracts before they are published in order to comply with existing law and for the protection of national security.

The latencies you see are just for 2 sockets. Intel total dominates in 2 socket space. In 4 it's a different song that gets sung once you get outside of the caches, and i bet you will isn't it? If you adress 1 block of memory at 500GB and are outside of the caches, then the AMD box is going to be faster than intel in latency of course. Cache coherency, snooping, intel always struggled there at 4 socket area. That's why no one hears much from those 4 socket intel machines. Latencies to the ram are UGLY at it. At AMD latencies already were ugly, yet at 4 sockets it doesn't get much worse. You will need to fill every box with 4 cpu's anyway fill it up with the amount of RAM you want and look at the price difference. If you use open source, i'm sure someone will want to test for you. Just test it at both manufacturers @ 500 GB ram block and you'll see.

text: Two days after decommitting from Notre Dame, LB Richard Yeargin III of Fort Lauderdale still favors Clemson but has not yet finalized a decision according to his brother. "Clemson is his top school as of now, he just hasn't confirmed anything," Yeargin's brother Richard Yeargin Jr. said Monday night. "We're just taking a second glance and making sure we're doing this for all the right reasons. He hasn't made up his mind. I think I know where he wants to go. He's weighing heavy on Clemson." Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables visited with Yeargin III Monday and Clemson will be sending scholarship papers this week. Some other schools have checked in on Yeargin III but "we don't want to waste any coaches' time," Yeargin Jr. said. Yeargin III will notify his school of choice a couple of days before Signing Day and might go public with the decision then his brother said.

This edition is wholly composed of selected and peer-reviewed contributions made in a specialist scholarly conference on Traditional Knowledge in Legal Context held at Potchefstroom on 17-18 March 2009 at Potchefstroom.
Andre van der Merwe a Senior Director of DM Kisch Incorporated and practising Intellectual and Patent attorney, delivered the key-note address (here published as an oratio), posing the question whether traditional knowledge, for which there is no unambiguous definition, can effectively be protected under a single umbrella." After considering the matter from inter alia historical, philosophical and legal perspectives, he suggests a solution based on a multidisciplinary approach.
In his paper John T Cross of the University of Louisville in the USA argues for a property model for traditional knowledge by refuting the classic argument that property rights are justified only as a way to spur innovation and other creative activity. He goes on to demonstrate the usefulness of a system of property rights for the dissemination of traditional knowledge and to promote the assurance of the accuracy of knowledge.
The protection of folklore is the focus of Enyinna Nwauche of the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Port Harcourt, Nigeria. With reference to constitutional and international rights protection, he demonstrates how deficient national protection of expressions of folklore may be overcome in Africa by means of a human rights regime.
Next, Adam Andrzejewski of the Justus-Liebig-University in Gießen, Germany confronts the difficulty that ownership of the potentially useful pharmaceutical substances available in the natural resources used by indigenous communities continues to be controversial. He compares European, American and international patent law norms in search of clarification of the issues surrounding patent protection.
Sunelle Geyer of UNISA in Pretoria addresses the vexing question of the definition of the terms "indigenous" and "traditional" in view of the inadequate provisions of the South African intellectual property legislation in this regard. She makes recommendations with reference to other South African and foreign statutes and United Nations documents.
Tracy Gutuza of the University of Cape Town analyses the potential income tax implications of the proposed incorporation of traditional intellectual property in the intellectual property legislation of South Africa.
Finally Lee-Ann Tong of the University of Cape Town investigates the possibility of protecting traditional knowledge by making use of secrecy and the concerns arising in this regard where reliance is placed on unfair competition and contract.

NEW YORK, Nov. 30, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP has filed a class action lawsuit against Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP" or the "Company") (NYSE:HPQ) and certain of its officers. The class action filed in United States District Court, Northern District of California, and docketed under 4:12-cv-06074-YGR is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired securities of HP between August 19, 2011 and November 19, 2012, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"). This class action seeks to recover damages against the Company and certain of its officers and directors as a result of alleged violations of the federal securities laws pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
If you are a shareholder who purchased HP securities during the Class Period, you have until January 25, 2013 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Robert S. Willoughby at email@example.com or 888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll free, x237. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address and telephone number.
HP provides imaging and printing systems, computing systems, and information technology services for business and personal use. The Company's products include laser and inkjet printers, scanners, copiers and faxes, personal computers, and other computing and printing systems.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the Company made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, the Company made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) at the time the Company acquired Autonomy, Autonomy's reported operating results and historic growth were the product of accounting improprieties; (ii) at the time the Company had agreed in principle to acquire Autonomy, HP was looking to unwind the deal due to potential accounting improprieties discovered in Autonomy's financial statements; (iii) the Company engaged in inadequate due diligence during the Autonomy acquisition and, as a result thereof, the Company materially overpaid for Autonomy; (iv) the Company's reported goodwill and acquired intangible assets were overstated and would have to be written down; (v) Autonomy's operating margin for its Enterprise Services segment was collapsing for several reasons, including unfavorable revenue mix and underperforming contracts; and (vi) as a result of the above, the Company's financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On November 20, 2012, the Company disclosed a non-cash impairment charge of $8.8 billion related to the Company's acquisition of Autonomy. Moreover, the Company disclosed that for the first time beginning in May, 2012, HP had commenced an internal investigation regarding possible accounting fraud at Autonomy. On this news, HP shares declined $1.59 per share or nearly 12%, to close at $11.71 per share on November 20, 2012.
The Pomerantz Firm, with offices in New York, Chicago, and San Diego, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, the Pomerantz Firm pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 70 years later, the Pomerantz Firm continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members. See www.pomerantzlaw.com.
