Barack Obama
From RationalWiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Want a serious biography? The Other Wiki has an entire category dedicated to Barack Obama — this article mostly focuses on the crap people have said about him, including us.
If President Obama can make a deal with the most intransigent mullahs in the world, but not with House Republicans, maybe he is not the problem.
Jon Stewart
When you have a president who shares a good chunk of his policies with his predecessor, you've gotta ask: What's the real reason he's getting so much flak from the right?
Barack HUSSEIN Soetoro[1] "You didn't build that"[2] Obama II (born in Nairobi, Kenya Honolulu, Hawaii, August 4, 1961) is the 44th President of the United States. A member of the Democratic Party, he is also apparently a devout Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, gay, atheist Martian Egyptian Antichrist.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
Obama is the first self-identified African American to be elected to the presidency,[12] a turning-point marking the end of racism in the United States.
In October of 2009, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his stunning success in not being George W. Bush.[13]
A lot of Americans are wary of Obama as they do not believe — and may never believe — he is actually an American. This fear of an ethnic "other" is compounded by a fiery political climate in which some critics have called him a socialist, "Kenyan anti-colonialist,"[14] or a reptilian Visitor Queen set to infest the world population.[15]
Contents
[edit] Background
Barack Obama was ("allegedly") born in Hawaii, where he spent his childhood. His mother married Lolo Soetoro, so he also spent some time in Indonesia from 1967 to mid-1971. He later studied political science at Columbia University in New York City and law at Harvard in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Prior to his election as President in 2008, Obama had previously served as a community organizer, Senator for Illinois, and a member of the Illinois State Senate. Obama was introduced to the world during the 2004 Democratic National Convention, when he gave a keynote speech that aspired to post-partisan solutions.[16]
President Obama's wife, Michelle, is a graduate of Princeton and Harvard Law. She formerly worked in hospital administration, and has promoted the "Let's Move!"[wp] campaign to fight childhood obesity.[17] The couple have two daughters, Sasha and Malia.
[edit] Campaigns
[edit] 2008 primary and caucus out-of-dates
He won the Iowa caucus and South Carolina primary, and a bunch of others on Super Tuesday.[18] He went twelve-for-twelve in February and won Vermont in March.[18] In May, he won North Carolina, whereupon he was declared the "presumptive nominee" by many pundits.[19]
Towards the end of the race, he succeeded in maintaining a marginal lead over Hillary Clinton, in what became a two-way race.
On May 14, he received the endorsement of John Edwards, the third-place former candidate.[20] He also gained the support of Chris Dodd, another former candidate, and a half-dozen or so Kennedys.
By the end of the primary/caucus season, June 3 2008, he had garnered enough pledged delegates and endorsements from superdelegates to claim the Democratic Party nomination. This was confirmed further when Senator Clinton suspended her campaign on June 7, 2008, and pledged her support to Obama, effectively giving him the nomination.[21] Clinton further sealed the deal, and also attempted to set the party back on the path to unity behind Obama by using her speech at the Convention to call for his nomination by acclamation (rather than going through the tedious process of delegate counting and voting).
One of the central themes of his campaign was an emphasis on "the politics of hope" — his motto was "change you can believe in." The extent of these changes is up to debate.

[edit] Actions as President
President Obama's term in office has been distinguished by starting with a deep recession that left unemployment above 9% for more than a year, a political environment of steadily-increasing vitriol and obstructionism, and a general continuance of Bush-era policies in national security and trade. The largest shifts in actual policies that have occurred have been with foreign policy; while the U.S. did engage in military intervention in Libya, it was a markedly different style of attack when compared to the full commitment of Iraq and Afghanistan.[25] This was of a piece with the inclusive rhetoric espoused by President Obama, as well as with his generally centrist (moderate-right by European standards) approach — we can't see any socializmz there.
Obama has been criticized for getting the federal budget deficit to unprecedented levels, forgetting that the budget for 2009 was actually a series of continuing resolutions that kept spending at roughly the same as Bush's era.[26] Keeping in mind the fact that Bush did not include war spending as part of his budgets,[27] and the fact that the majority of debt is due to the recession,[28] Obama has managed to decrease the overall rate of deficit spending, though obviously it's still present.[29]
[edit] Fulfillment of campaign promises
While Democrats view Obama's presidency as an improvement from the previous Bush-era domestic and foreign policies, a large number of his campaign promises remain stalled or completely broken. PolitiFact, which tracks how many promises Obama has kept, has found that by February of 2013 the President had kept or compromised on about 370 promises, while he had outright broken about 120.[30] Some examples:
• Early in his campaign, Obama promised to abide by the voluntary spending limits required for public financing, but then went "never mind" when he saw the shitload of money he was raking in.[31]
• Obama said that he would not go after medical marijuana dispensaries, but then did so, a sign that the War on Drugs won't die anytime soon.[32]
• On January 22, 2009, President Obama signed an executive order to close Guantanamo Bay within a year and for those incarcerated within to be dealt with as quickly as possible.[33] No change has occurred and Guantanamo continues with little reduction in inmates (and it's not helping with a large amount of Republican states disapproving).[34] Some abortive attempts at moving them to other states or countries have met with very limited success — essentially, no one wants them.
On the other hand, Obama has fulfilled many of his promises on other issues, mainly foreign policy and gay rights:
• On February 27, 2009, Obama set the date of the Iraq War's end to be August 31, 2010.[35] As of December 2011, virtually all troops have left and the war is officially over. The number of troops in Afghanistan has sharply spiked, nonetheless, as Obama has pushed military spending to all-time highs, though after the death of Osama Bin Laden troops are expected to withdraw soon.[36]
• On January 30, 2009, the abortion funding "gag rule" (preventing any clinic anywhere in the world that receives US funding from mentioning the evil abortion word) was rescinded, along with other Bush-era executive orders.[37] This actions was shortly followed on February 9, 2009 by the lifting of restrictions on stem-cell research.[38]
• With regards to health care, President Obama extended the S-CHIP program, and enacted the Affordable Care Act (or "Obamacare") on March 23, 2010, with the aid of united Congressional Democrats. The Act, a fairly conservative implementation of universal health care, has been widely criticized on the left for perceived failings (such as the lack of a public option, which Obama did not as enthusiastically support as he did in his campaign) while attacked hysterically from the right.[39]
• The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform bill signed on July 21, 2010, comprehensively regulated banks and insurance companies, ending the Bush-era financial bailouts and stopping "too big to fail" banks. This remains one of Obama's most popular legislation, with over 60% of Americans approving.[40]
• He has told his Attorney General to cease defending DOMA,[41] even though the Republican-led Congress has said they would fund the defense of DOMA themselves.[42]
• In 2011, the restrictions in the DADT policy were eliminated, and gay and lesbian soldiers are allowed to serve openly.[43] The military was even ordered to allow gay marriages in public buildings if straight marriages are allowed there.[44]
• In 2012, Obama was able to raise taxes on the extremely wealthy back to Clinton-era rates, though he failed to get rid of the Bush-era tax cuts for people who earn between $250,000 and $400,000.
[edit] Human rights and civil liberties record
"No Such Agency" no more.
Obama has mainly been criticized for disappointing actions concerning human rights in the War on Terror. For example, on January 23, 2009, a mere 72 hours after taking office, Obama authorized an armed strike against a village in the Tribal Areas of Pakistan — an ally of the United States (although the area being bombed, the "tribal belt," is not under control of Pakistan's government),[45] — because the Pakistan Taliban Movement in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) had launched a campaign to discover local informants for the Central Intelligence Agency and had killed 40 of them.[45] He has consistently continued this approach to dealing with foreign terrorists, arguing that drones are safer for Americans.[46] Unfortunately, drones have also proven dangerous for Americans such as Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, both of whom were American citizens living in Yemen who were killed by a drone strike on September 30th, 2011. Though both had been deemed terrorists, this action has been criticized for possibly violating the Fifth Amendment.[47] Under Obama, drone warfare has become a central element of American military policy, a practice which critics have called into question.[48]
In other questionable actions, on May 26, 2011, Obama signed an extension of the PATRIOT Act, which has been criticized by the left and civil libertarians as allowing violations of the Fourth Amendment.[49] In 2013, news agencies confirmed that he has continued the levels of mass surveillance that was encouraged by his predecessor, as enabled by the Act.[50][51] Similarly, on December 31, 2011, Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, which codifies the President's authority to indefinitely detain terrorism suspects without trial (there is currently a dispute over whether it changes existing law or not, due to apparently contradictory passages in the bill on the matter).[52]
[edit] Trade policy
The Trans-Pacific Partnership is a trade deal that the White House is attempting to pass through Congress by the end of 2013. It would establish a free-trade zone from Vietnam to Chile, encompassing 800 million people and nearly 40% of the global economy. While the push against protectionism is admirable, the text of the treaty was negotiated behind closed doors and kept secret from most of Congress, and more than 600 corporate advisers have access to the measure. WikiLeaks has revealed why: SOPA-esque copyright legislation.[53]
[edit] Various smear attempts
[edit] Islam
Many people have tried to smear Obama by claiming he is a Muslim (which, as Colin Powell rightly pointed out, shouldn't be a smear, but, alas, it is in practice), since his father (who was African) was (or perhaps he may have been an agnostic[54] or even an atheist[55]). However, Obama is a staunch Christian and often injects Jesus and God into his speeches. The myth of Obama's connections with Islam originated during his original campaign for the United States Senate. Ironically, there was a Muslim member of Congress elected only two years later: Congressman Keith Ellison. The Religious Right happened to target the wrong man.[56]
Even if he was a seekrit Muslim, his lifestyle as POTUS would suggest that he'd be quite a poor one.[57]
[edit] Birthers
See the main article on this topic: Obama citizenship denial
Additionally, many attempted to discredit the Obama campaign by claiming that he was not born in the U.S., a requirement for any U.S. president.[58] Given that there is no evidence for him being a Martian, Muslim, gay or Communist, this has been the last refuge of those who, frankly, just can't stand that a black man with a foreign name won an election.
[edit] Marxism
Either we throw Barack Hussein Obama and his corrupt, Godless Marxist/Socialist anti-American cohorts out of office or we face the real probability that our Constitutional Republic will cease to exist. That means the end of our Bill of Rights, including no more Second Amendment, no more Free Speech, no more Right to Assembly, no more Liberty.
—Some idiot[59]
Some of Obama's more hysterical opponents attempt to make the supporter of capitalism look like a Marxist by quote mining him, completely ignoring such glaring counter-evidence as the fact that he advocated for bailing out certain large corporations instead of nationalizing them. This is the same stuff that FDR had to go through.
In his first run for the State Senate, he received the endorsement of the "New Party," a highly obscure Marxist outfit that was aiming to reintroduce electoral fusion on a national level.[60] Of course, no one outside the moonbat community actually noticed this until the wingnut community, scraping the dregs for any excuse to use "Obama" and "communist" in the same sentence, happened upon it. Therefore, the New Party is most known today for the right-wing fit this nomination provoked. The nomination is so obscure that, by Wikipedia rules, it cannot be mentioned in the article on Obama.
[edit] Lack of phony patriotism
Obama was criticized by right-wing "patriots" for not putting his hand on his heart while singing the National Anthem.
Unlike many in the political arena, Obama does not routinely wear a flag pin in his lapel,[61] possibly because he can remember which country he's President of without having to look at it every few minutes. However, he did wear one given to him by a veteran at a 2008 campaign speech[62] and continued to wear one sporadically throughout the rest of his campaign, notably at major political events.
In yet another horrific public display, Obama was observed not putting his hand on his heart while the National Anthem was being sung (gasp!).[63]
[edit] Obligatory religious nuttery
In his 2006 "Call for Renewal" speech, Obama, responding to secularists critical of the Pledge of Allegiance who had filed suit to have the practice discontinued, declared that "It is doubtful that children reciting the Pledge of Allegiance feel oppressed or brainwashed as a consequence of muttering the phrase 'under God.'"[64]
[edit] Vacations
Among a certain section of the country, it is widely believed that Obama has spent too much time on vacation, playing golf. It is an article of faith for some conservatives that this is yet another way in which he has been a demonstrably poor President. Unfortunately, Obama's vacation days are half of Reagan's (at this point in his presidency), and a third of the time George W. Bush spent on vacation at this point in his presidency.[65]
[edit] Abundance of melanin, etc.
His other major issues with winning over people include:
• His name terrifies illiterate rednecks:
• Barack (rhymes with "Iraq," also means "blessed" in Swahili — derived from the same Semitic language root as Baruch in Hebrew)
• Hussein ('nuff said)
• Obama (one letter off from "Osama")[66]
• His skin color terrifies racist morons
• His alleged use of mind-control terrifies quacks[67]
• His refusal to foam at the mouth or to cater to people's worst hatreds and fears has failed to motivate the extreme left; he continues to blindly stick with this strategy even though his opponents successfully use such methods to motivate their base.
Several conservative blogs and commentators, suffering from a huge case of sour grapes over the election, have stated that Barack Obama is a President of affirmative action.[68] This quite idiotic and clearly bitter accusation is completely at odds with observed polling behavior related to race, known as the Bradley effect, where people of ethnic minorities get fewer votes in reality compared to polls.

48. The intent is to make killing operations targeted in order to minimize civilian casualties, but an additional result is increased secrecy and problems having to do with international sovereignty. Supporters have argued it as a better alternative than going on full-scale war with another country, while critics view it as a form of sanctioned assassinations. Signature strikes (targeting people based on appearance) and double taps (attacking first responders who try to help those after the first strike) are particularly scrutinized. The additional fact that US citizens have been targeted and killed has raised additional problems of civil liberties and due process problems. Furthermore, he himself claimed that there were little to no civilian casualties as a result of drone strikes, even though on-the-ground reporters estimate that children were killed during drone strikes.

Contents >> Concepts and Sources >> Chapter 6. Unemployment
INTRODUCTION
6.1 The labour force framework discussed in Chapter 2 categorises the population into three mutually exclusive groups: employed; unemployed; and not in the labour force. This chapter discusses in detail the concept of unemployment, and contrasts the measures of unemployment collected in the Labour Force Survey with those collected elsewhere. The chapter also discusses a range of classifications and measures that are related to unemployment.
CONCEPTS AND INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES
6.2 The international definition of unemployment (Thirteenth ICLS 1982) requires the simultaneous satisfaction of each of the following criteria:
• without work;
• actively seeking work; and
• currently available for work.
6.3 Unemployed persons are therefore defined as persons who, during a specified reference period, meet all of the above criteria. In surveys applying the international standards, the active job search criterion is waived for persons waiting to start a new job that they have already obtained.
WITHOUT WORK
6.4 The purpose of the 'without work' criterion is to ensure that employment and unemployment are mutually exclusive. As precedence is given to employment, a person should only be classified as unemployed if they do not satisfy the criteria for employment. The 'without work' criterion refers to a total lack of work, that is, not in paid employment or self-employment, as defined in international standards for employment (refer to Chapter 3). Persons who should be considered without work therefore should not have undertaken any work at all (not even for one hour) during the reference period, nor should they have been temporarily absent from a job to which they have a formal attachment.
ACTIVELY SEEKING WORK
6.5 The 'actively seeking work' criterion requires that at least one active step to seek work (in either a paid employment job or a self-employment job) must be taken in the reference period. Active steps to seek employment include: "registration at a public or private employment exchange; application to employers; checking worksites, farms, factory gates, market or other assembly places; placing or answering newspaper advertisements; seeking assistance of friends or relatives; looking for land, building, machinery, or equipment to establish own enterprise; arranging for financial resources; applying for permits and licences, etc." (Thirteenth ICLS 1982). According to the definition, the job search period may be extended into the period prior to the basic reference period for the collection. The purpose of extending the job search period in this way is to take account of time lags which often follow initial steps to obtain work, and during which jobseekers may not take any other initiatives to find work (e.g. while waiting for outcomes of job applications). A four week reference period is suggested in the guidelines as the practical maximum for a survey of a monthly frequency.
6.6 In conformity with the activity principle of the labour force framework, the international guidelines consider that the active job search criterion is predicated on these views:
• a person must have done something specific to obtain work before being classified as 'seeking work'; and
• a general declaration of being in search of work is not sufficient.
6.7 The active job search criterion is waived for persons waiting to start a new job that they have already obtained and that is to begin after the end of the reference period1 (these persons are referred to as future starters). According to the international standards, such persons need only meet the 'without work' and 'available for work' criteria. The international guidelines state that the active search criterion is waived because, having already secured employment, persons waiting to take up a job may not feel the need to look for work. Further, the guidelines consider that this group should be treated as unemployed rather than employed because, being currently available to start work, such persons would presumably have started work had the job begun earlier and, as such, this group forms part of currently underutilised labour resources.
1. The international guidelines make no recommendation about the length of the waiting period which should be applied to persons waiting to start a new job that they have already obtained and that is to begin after the end of the reference period. However, the guidelines do recognise that a period of four weeks offers greater precision than an unspecified period.
CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR WORK
6.8 The availability criterion serves as a test of readiness to start work, in conformity with the aim of providing a current stock measure of the labour supply. In order to be classified as unemployed, persons must be available to start work in the reference period. Persons not available to start work in the reference period (for example, because of impediments to take up work such as family responsibilities, illness, etc.) should be excluded from estimates of unemployment. While the international standards recommend that the reference period for the availability criterion be the same as the basic reference period for the collection, it is recognised that many countries prefer to extend the time period forward beyond that reference period. Reasons for choosing a longer reference period include: the fact that not everyone who is seeking work can be expected to take up a job immediately when one is offered; and the fact that there are certain forms of employment where workers are employed on a pay period basis and are required to wait until the commencement of a new pay period before taking up work.
DEFINITIONS USED IN ABS SURVEYS
6.9 The ABS produces estimates of unemployment from most household surveys. The Labour Force Survey is designed to produce precise estimates of unemployment (and employment), and the definition used aligns closely with the international definitions outlined above. In other household surveys where unemployment is an explanatory or classificatory variable it is generally not practical to define unemployment as precisely as in the Labour Force Survey. While estimates of unemployment produced from these collections are designed to be consistent with the international concept of unemployment, the definition used is slightly broader than that used in the Labour Force Survey. Two alternative questionnaire modules are used to collect data on unemployment in these surveys - the reduced questionnaire module (for use in personal interview) and the self-enumerated questionnaire module.
LABOUR FORCE SURVEY
6.10 The definition of unemployment used in the Labour Force Survey aligns closely with the concepts and international definitions outlined above. Unemployed persons are defined as all persons 15 years of age and over who were not employed during the reference week, and:
• had actively looked for full-time or part-time work at any time in the four weeks up to the end of the reference week and:
• were available for work in the reference week; or
• were waiting to start a new job within four weeks from the end of the reference week, and could have started in the reference week if the job had been available then.
6.11 'Actively looking for work' encompasses a range of formal and informal job search activities and includes: writing, telephoning or applying in person to an employer for work; answering an advertisement for a job; checking factory noticeboards or the touchscreens at Centrelink offices; being registered as a job seeker with the government agency, Centrelink; checking or registering with any other employment agency; advertising or tendering for work; and contacting friends or relatives. Persons actively looking for self-employment jobs (such as looking for a business or to purchase a lease) are also treated as looking for work.
6.12 Persons who only looked in newspapers or read job advertisements are seen as passively, rather than actively looking for work, and so are not considered unemployed. The ABS view is that 'only looked in newspapers' does not meet the active search criterion, nor does simply looking at job advertisements on the Internet. For example, 'only looked in newspapers' is clearly incapable of finding work without some additional, active, job search step (for example, contacting the employer).
6.13 Future starters are those persons who were not employed during the reference week, and were waiting to start a job within four weeks from the end of the reference week, and could have started in the reference week if the job had been available then. The current Labour Force Survey definition of unemployed only includes the subset of future starters who had actively looked for work in the four weeks to the end of the reference week (see paragraph 6.10). However, ILO guidelines do not require future starters to be actively looking for work in order to be classified as unemployed (see paragraph 6.7). Hence, the current Labour Force Survey treatment of future starters is not fully consistent with the ILO standards because the precondition of active job search is not waived, with the result that some future starters are defined as 'not in the labour force'.
6.14 Different reference periods apply for defining not employed, availability to start work, job search, and waiting to start a new job. These are summarised in diagram 6.1. The short, one week reference period ('reference week') is used in defining those 'not employed', and in determining their availability for work, in accordance with the international guidelines. For active job search, a longer (four week) period that includes the reference week is applied. For future starters, a period of four weeks is used for the length of the waiting period beyond the reference week in which the job will commence.
6.1 REFERENCE PERIODS USED IN THE LABOUR FORCE SURVEY FOR DETERMINING UNEMPLOYMENT
OTHER ABS HOUSEHOLD SURVEYS
6.15 Most other ABS household surveys use one of the two alternative questionnaire modules (the reduced questionnaire module used for personal interviews, or the self-enumerated questionnaire module) to produce unemployment estimates. As discussed above, unemployment is defined somewhat more broadly in these modules than in the Labour Force Survey.
6.16 Most Special Social Surveys use the reduced questionnaire module for personal interviews. Unemployment in this module is defined as persons aged 15 years and over who were not employed during the reference week, but who had actively looked for work and were available to start work. In comparison with estimates of unemployment from the Labour Force Survey, the module recommended for use in personal interviews results in reduced estimates of unemployment. This arises from the simplified treatment of certain categories of persons:
• the reduced questionnaire module for personal interviews does not ask respondents who were not available to start work the reasons they were not available during the reference week. Therefore, the reduced questionnaire module does not identify persons who looked for work in the four weeks to the end of the reference week, but were not available to start work in the reference week because they were waiting to start a new job within four weeks from the end of the reference week (and could have started in the reference week if the job had been available then). Using the reduced questionnaire module such persons are classified as not in the labour force rather than as unemployed (about 1% of unemployed); and
• in the Labour Force Survey, persons on workers compensation 'last week' and not returning (or 'don't know if returning to work'), and persons away from work for four weeks or more without pay, are classified as either unemployed or not in the labour force. Using the reduced module, all persons absent from work, but who usually work one hour or more a week, are classified as employed (about 0.1% of employed).
6.17 The self-enumerated questionnaire module used in the Census of Population and Housing also produces different estimates of unemployment when compared to the Labour Force Survey. Some differences result from the shortened set of questions, which cannot determine unemployment as precisely as the Labour Force Survey. Other differences result from the self-enumeration nature of the questions and the inevitable differences in interpretation among respondents. As a result, estimates of unemployment from the self-enumerated questionnaire module are best used as explanatory or classificatory variables to explain other phenomena, rather than for detailed analysis of the labour force itself.
DATA SOURCES
6.18 Unemployment estimates, along with employment estimates and estimates of persons not currently economically active, are available from:
• the Labour Force Survey;
• various supplementary topics to the Labour Force Survey;
• the Census of Population and Housing; and
• Special Social Surveys.
LABOUR FORCE SURVEY
6.19 The Labour Force Survey is the official source for Australian employment and unemployment statistics. The definition of unemployment used in the Labour Force Survey is outlined above. The Labour Force Survey uses a comprehensive and detailed set of questions to precisely measure the numbers and certain characteristics of persons in employment and unemployment as well as persons not currently economically active. Estimates from the Labour Force Survey are available by State/Territory, capital city/rest of State, and 67 sub-State regions (see Chapter 15 for more information on geographic classifications available from ABS household surveys). For more detail on the content and methodology of the Labour Force Survey see Chapter 19.
LABOUR FORCE SUPPLEMENTARY SURVEYS
6.20 A number of surveys that supplement the Labour Force Survey collect detailed information on unemployment including:
• Job Search Experience of Unemployed Persons Survey - for persons currently unemployed, this survey collects details on steps taken to find work and barriers encountered in finding work (Chapter 20 Section 4); and
• Successful and Unsuccessful Job Search Experience Survey - for persons who have looked for work in the 12 months prior to the survey date, this survey collects details on the ways in which they searched for work and, in particular, those which proved successful (Chapter 20 Section 13).
6.21 The definition of unemployment used in the supplementary topics is usually the same as the definition used in the Labour Force Survey, but there may be some differences in scope across collections. For more information on the content and methodology of these collections refer to the chapters listed above.
CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING
6.22 As discussed in paragraph 6.17, the Census of Population and Housing uses the self-enumerated questionnaire module to produce unemployment estimates consistent with the international standards. However, because the self-enumerated questionnaire module defines unemployment less precisely than the Labour Force Survey, estimates produced are not strictly comparable with those from the Labour Force Survey. For these reasons, unemployment estimates from the Census should be used with caution in analyses where labour force activities are a major focus. When comparing estimates of unemployment from the Census of Population and Housing with those produced from the Labour Force Survey, users should also note differences between the two surveys in scope (for example, the inclusion of permanent defence forces in Census employment data) and methodology. Estimates from the Census are available down to the statistical local area level2. Refer to Chapter 18 for further information on the Census of Population and Housing.
2. Statistical local areas (SLAs) consist of one or more Census collection districts. In aggregate, SLAs cover the whole of Australia without gaps or overlaps. An SLA consists of a single local government area, or part thereof, or any unincorporated area. For further information refer to Chapter 15.
SPECIAL SOCIAL SURVEYS
6.23 As discussed in paragraph 6.16, the Special Social Surveys generally use the reduced questionnaire module to produce unemployment estimates consistent with the international standards. However, because the reduced questionnaire module defines unemployment less precisely than the Labour Force Survey, estimates produced are not strictly comparable with those from the Labour Force Survey. When comparing estimates from the Special Social Surveys with those from the Labour Force Survey, users should also note differences in scope and methodologies across the collections.
6.24 The labour-related Special Social Surveys, namely the Survey of Employment Arrangements and Superannuation (Chapter 21) and the Survey of Employment and Unemployment Patterns (Chapter 22), both produced estimates of unemployment. Unlike most Special Social Surveys, neither of these surveys used the reduced questionnaire module to produce measures of unemployment as described above. Instead, both surveys used the full set of questions asked in the Labour Force Survey. For more information on these surveys refer to the chapters listed above.
MEASURES OF UNEMPLOYMENT
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE
6.25 The unemployment rate for any group is defined as the number of unemployed persons expressed as a percentage of the labour force (employed plus unemployed). As a measure of the proportion of the labour force that is underutilised, its most important use is as an indicator of the performance of the economy. A high rate of unemployment indicates limited employment opportunities in a labour market that is in a situation of oversupply. A low rate of unemployment indicates a tight labour market, potential scarcity of skilled labour, and future cost pressures from wage demands from workers.
6.26 The trend over time in the overall unemployment rate serves as a current economic indicator of the performance of the economy at large, while the unemployment rate for different groups of people (e.g. younger people, older people, females) identifies areas of social concern when rates for some groups are much higher than for others.
DURATION OF UNEMPLOYMENT
6.27 Conceptually, duration of unemployment is the period of time during which an unemployed person has been in a continuous state of unemployment. To measure this period accurately would require that all three criteria for defining an unemployed person be satisfied continuously and simultaneously over the whole period (i.e. without paid work, actively looking for work and available to commence work). However, it is impractical to apply all three criteria with respect to past periods in a household survey because of the lengthy and complex questioning needed to test for the criteria, and the memory recall difficulties of respondents. For this reason, in practice the measurement of duration of unemployment focuses on the period of time that a person has been without paid work, and has been looking for work.
6.28 Duration of unemployment is defined as the elapsed period to the end of the reference week since the time a person began looking for work, or since a person last worked for two weeks or more, whichever is the shorter. Brief periods of work (of less than two weeks) since the person began looking for work are disregarded.

INVESTMENT AND FINANCE
PRIVATE NEW CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
Private new capital expenditure (trend chain volume measures) in Western Australia increased 7.4% ($354 million) to $5,209 million in the June quarter 2007, higher than national growth of 5.3%. The rise in Western Australia was driven by investment in both equipment, plant and machinery (up 12.1% or $216 million) and buildings and structures (up 4.2% or $127 million).
PRIVATE NEW CAPITAL EXPENDITURE, Chain volume measures
In original current price terms, Western Australia's private new capital expenditure rose 11.1% ($577 million) to $5,778 million through the year to June quarter 2007. The main driver of growth was investment by other selected industries (including retail trade, property and business services and construction) (up 30.9% or $351 million), followed by mining (up 4.6% or $167 million) and manufacturing (up 14.1% or $59 million).
HOUSING FINANCE COMMITMENTS
The number of dwellings financed for owner occupation (trend) in Western Australia has risen for six consecutive months to 8,824 commitments in July 2007, rebounding from eight months of rapid decline. In the three months to July 2007, the number of dwellings financed rose 2.4% (606 commitments) compared to the previous three month period. This rate that was well above the 1.5% (373 commitments) increase in the three months to April 2007 (compared to the previous three months). The recent growth in Western Australia's housing finance could translate into a recovery in approvals for housing construction in the coming months.
HOUSING FINANCE COMMITMENTS, Number of dwellings financed
In the three months to July 2007, Western Australia's total value of finance for owner occupied housing (original) increased 21.0% ($1,162 million) to $6,706 million, compared to the previous three month period. The rise was attributable to growth in finance by both non-first home buyers (up 15.5% or $761 million) and first home buyers (up 62.8% or $401 million). Over the three months to July 2007, the average loan for first home buyers was $246,100, $3,800 higher than for non-first home buyers ($242,300). The average loan for first home buyers grew 18.1% ($37,700) in the three months to July 2007 (compared to the previous three months), much higher than for non-first home buyers (up 6.8% or $15,400).

TJ Barry
From Grand Theft Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
TJ Barry is a journalist in Grand Theft Auto IV for the Liberty Tree newspaper in 2008 and is a resident of Liberty City. He writes many articles for the Liberty Tree's website www.libertytreeonline.com.
Online articles
Bomb Dot-Com?
Bridge closures as threat level hits Magenta
Citing increased chatter by known terrorists, officials raised the threat level to Magenta 5 and have closed many bridges in the metropolitan area causing havoc for commuters and forcing many to lose their jobs and contemplate selling their bodies to make up for lost income. Officials speaking on the condition of anonymity said that, while they don't speak Arabic, the chit chat they heard was something like "slalom" which rhymes with "dirty bomb."
Police Lieutenant Chuck Montresse said, "This is what the terrorists want - they want us to be afraid. So, just to be cautious, we're going to be shit-scared, shut down the bridges and show them that freedom will always win."
Jingoism Act Renewed
Flag burning now outlawed and wiretapping totally cool
Ushering in a whole new wave of pro-America feeling, 30,000 new N.O.O.S.E agents were sworn in to help defend the homeland. In what are promised to be intense interrogation techniques by federal agents, the extension of the Jingoism Act removes the checks and balances that were hindering protecting America. Another part of the provision includes throwing out all history books that might indicate abandoning a free republic to be a bad idea.
Explosion in Bohan Linked to Terror Cell?
Police are baffled
An explosion has occurred at a garage on Guantanamo and Windmill in South Bohan. Investigators on the scene have found traces of ammonium nitrate and nitromethane as well as the remains of a large truck. These are common ingredients in explosive devices. It doesn't take a genius to connect the dots and blame terrorists here in Liberty City for the horrific destruction wrought at the garage. Luckily, no employees were present at the time of detonation. The garage is located on a busy street where people walk to go to work and do their shopping. We got lucky this time.
Guts Strewn All Over Fishmarket
Bodies found at docks
The bodies of several men have been found at the docks in Fishmarket South. Authorities believe they may have been members of a "triad" street gang smuggling contraband into Liberty City. Last year's prosecution of several members of the Dockworker's Union led to allegations of widespread corruption amongst the stevedores. A spokesperson for the National Office of Security Enforcement stated that the docks in Liberty City are the gateway through which the majority of drugs, sex slaves and counterfeit goods come into the United States, "It is only a matter of time before a terrorist smuggles a nuclear weapon through our docks. If the unions do not clean their act up and agree to serious salary cuts and concessions, this is a very real danger."
Russian Dead In Chopper Accident
FIB rule no foul play
Multi-millionaire Russian businessman, Eduard Borodin, died in a tragic helicopter accident just south of Algonquin earlier. After Borodin's attempts to purchase a section of Middle Park had been blocked by the Mayor, he was flying around Liberty City in order to scout out a location to build a megamansion. Disaster struck and the helicopter plunged into the water. Many witnesses on the shoreline reported seeing a mysterious second helicopter apparently firing at Mr. Borodin's. Tourist Molly Jenkins of San Fierro stated that she saw, "these flashes of light like missiles come out of the other helicopter. Then the one in front, it just burst into flames."
Fuel Depot Terror
Foreigners to blame?
N.O.O.S.E representatives are blaming terrorists for a massive explosion at a fueling depot in Northwood earlier, however not everyone is convinced. Having been criticized for their failure to tackle the rise in organized crime, some say this may be an attempt to divert attention. Those killed in the blast were known associates of the Ancelotti crime family and the warehouse itself was owned by Anthony "Tony Black" Spoleto,
Terror in Alderney?
Pavano crime family suspected
There has been yet another mass shooting in Alderney. Again it involved members of the Pavano crime family and again the National Office of Security Enforcement is calling it an act of terror. Whether this is an act against AutoEroticar, the retailer where the shooting took place, or the mobsters who were slaughtered, N.O.O.S.E would not say. However, they have stated that several suspects have been airlifted from Liberty City to an offshore questioning centre. These massacres have changed the spirit of Alderney forever. No more will that patch of land on the other side of the West River be associated with good working-class values, polluted swamps, spray-on tans, big hair, violent racist masculinity and other American-as-apple-pie attitudes of the suburbs. Maybe it's time to think about blocking the Booth Tunnel once and for all.

Abstract
Introduction. Reconstruction by proximal gastrojejunostomy, and distal biliary and pancreatic anastomoses is infrequently used after resection of the head of the pancreas because of fear of fistulas and cholangitis. Pancreaticoduodenectomy is being performed more frequently for cystic malignant and premalignant lesions. Because of this there is a need for endoscopic visualization and biopsy of the residual pancreatic duct, since multi-centricity is characteristic of some of these malignancies. Since endoscopic access of the bile duct and pancreatic duct is difficult and unsuccessful in 50–70% after B II or Roux Y reconstruction, we prospectively studied the merit and complications (early and late) of proximal gastrojejunal (PGJ) reconstruction after pancreaticoduodenal resection. Material and Methods. Thirty nine consecutive, non-radomized patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy and PGJ reconstruction over 14 mos. There were 21 males and 18 females. Results. 7 patients with IPMN have undergone repeat CT scanning for surveillance, with 3 requiring repeat EUS and ERCP. There were no technical difficulties accessing the pancreas or the pancreatic duct, supporting the PGJ reconstruction. Conclusion. Proximal gastrojejunal reconstruction following pancreaticoduodenal resection may be safely done with similar morbidity to traditional pancreaticojejunal reconstructions. PGJ reconstruction may be of greater value when direct visual access to the bile duct or pancreatic duct is necessary, and should be considered when doing resection for mucinous cysts or IPMN of the head of the pancreas.
1. Introduction
Alimentary reconstruction during pancreaticoduodenal resection invariably places the gastric or duodenal jejunal anastomoses distal to the biliary and pancreatic anastomoses [1, 2]. Despite absence of supporting literature this is done for alleged fears of pancreatic and biliary fistulas that will delay oral feedings and prolong hospitalization. With more PDRs being done for premalignant and malignant pancreatic cystic and ductal lesions, surveillance of the remnant pancreatic duct mucosa for multicentricity may be necessary [3]. We undertook this study to determine the value and risk of proximal B1 gastrojejunal reconstruction.
There has been an increase in cystic malignant and premalignant lesions being treated by pancreaticoduodenal resection. Because of this there is a need for endoscopic visualization and biopsy of the residual pancreatic duct for future surveillance because multicentricity is characteristic of some of these malignancies. Endoscopic access of the bile duct and pancreatic duct is difficult and unsuccessful in up to 50–70% of cases after Billroth II (B2) or Roux-en-Y reconstruction. We prospectively studied the merit and complications of proximal gastrojejunal (PGJ) reconstruction after pancreaticoduodenal resection. We believe this facilitates endoscopic access to the pancreas and pancreatic duct, which is necessary during surveillance.
2. Material and Methods
Thirty-nine consecutive, nonrandomized patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy and PGJ reconstruction over 14 months. There were 21 males and 18 females. The mean age was years. Preoperative CT scans, ERCP, and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) were performed to establish resectability. The indications for surgery were: carcinoma of the pancreas in 26 patients five of whom (12.5%) were initially unresectable and downstaged with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Seven other patients had main duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN); 2 had ampullary cancers, one a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) tumor involving the pancreas and duodenum, and 3 had distal common bile duct cancers. After standard pancreaticoduodenal resection the jejunal limb is measured and the anastomoses are performed. The biliary anastomosis is performed first in a duct-to-mucosa fashion. This is followed by the pancreatic anastomosis, which is constructed in a duct-to-mucosa fashion and a second layer suturing serosa of jejunum to capsule of pancreas. The final anastomosis is the gastrojejunal, which was made with a GIA stapling device, after first resecting a portion of the stomach. All the anastomoses are retrocolic. Postoperatively, on endoscopic examination, the order is gastric, pancreatic, and then biliary, all accessible via a single efferent limb from the stomach. The anastomoses are approximately 10 cm apart from each other.
3. Results
There was no operative peri-operative mortality. The mean operative time was 178 min ± 21 min, and estimated blood loss 262 cc ± 116 cc. There were no intraoperative transfusions given. The postoperative morbidity was (48%) and was of surgical significance in 3 patients (7%). The three included a visceral artery pseudoaneurysm in 1 patient (2.5%), an embolic event to an intestinal branch of the superior mesenteric artery in 1 patient (2.5%) and a gastrojejunal leak in 1 patient (2.5%). The latter two complications required reoperation. Other complications included a type A pancreatic fistula in 2 patients (5%), delayed gastric emptying in 1 patient (2.5%), pneumonia in 3 patients (7.5%), superficial wound infection in 4 patients (10%), atelectasis in 3 patients (7.5%) and Clostridium difficile colitis in 2 patients (5%). Readmission after discharge was necessary in 1 patient. One patient with adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas developed recurrence with biliary and gastric obstruction 11 months after surgery and required a reoperation. One patient required endoscopic dilatation of a symptomatic pancreaticojejunal anastomotic stricture 10 months after surgery.
All 7 patients with IPMN have undergone repeat CT scanning for surveillance, with 3 requiring repeat EUS and ERCP. There were no technical difficulties accessing the pancreas or the pancreatic duct, supporting the PGJ reconstruction.
4. Discussion
Despite a century of surgery for periampullary cancer, survival remains dismal despite significant reduction in operative mortality and major morbidity [4, 5]. Operative preferences and techniques for PDR are many and for the most part do not impact on long-term survival [2] The ultimate determinant of outcome is systemic metastases present long before tumor discovery [2, 6]. Reconstruction after resection is invariably done by proximal biliary and pancreatic enteric anastomoses and distal gastric or duodenal enteric anastomoses. Proximal placement of the gastro or duodenal jejunal anastomosis is neither advocated nor reported because of unsubstantiated concern that a pancreatic or bile leak distal to the stomach or duodenum would cause sepsis or cholangitis, delay oral feeding, and prolong hospitalization. This has been a long-standing, oral, preceptor-based surgical tradition. An extensive literature search of published case reports and case series as well as retrospective and prospective studies over the past 10 years did not result in any citations referencing proximal placement of the gastroenteric anastomosis during PDR. There has been little reason or need to question this since ERCP after PDR for pancreatic cancer is infrequently needed. Pancreatic fistulas are not uncommon after PDR and range from 6% to 25%, most of which close spontaneously, without sepsis or therapy (type A) [7]. The two pancreatic fistulas in this series closed spontaneously and the B1 arrangement did not delay or further complicate this. A small, unreported previous personal experience with pyloric preservation and proximal duodenal jejunal anastomoses was stopped because of delayed gastric emptying. The proximal placement of the duodenojejunostomy in that experience was noncontributory. With the increase in pancreatic incidental lesions found by body imaging, a number of pancreatic resections are being done for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), a lesion that creates concerns because of its multicentricity and clinical recurrence after segmental pancreatic resection [8, 9].
The 3 surgical complications in this report warrant comment. One, an embolic episode occurred after dissecting the superior mesenteric artery, necessitating a small bowel resection, and resulting in a complicated and lengthy course. This was unrelated to the gastric reconstruction. A direct complication, a gastric leak from a stapled corner of the transected stomach, prolonged hospitalization and required operative closure. This is infrequent in our experience and is independent of the type of gastric anastomosis. Local recurrence of pancreatic cancer causing obstruction of the biliary or gastric anastomoses and requiring surgery is not frequent. At least 30% of PDR done for pancreatic cancer will recur locally in the bed of resection [2, 10]. When intervention is needed for biliary obstruction, the percutaneous approach is preferred. In this instance, 1 of 26 patients (4%) that underwent B1 gastrojejunostomy required surgery after attempts at endoscopic therapy failed to stent the obstruction.
In 4/7 IPMN patients, postoperative surveillance raised a concern about the remnant pancreatic duct. In each instance ERCP cannulation was successful and the duct was visualized directly in three patients. Endoscopic cannulation of the biliary and pancreatic duct after a Roux en Y reconstruction or a B2 with an afferent limb of varying length is more difficult and unsuccessful in >50% of attempts (kinking, angulations, and scarring of the afferent limb mar success [11, 12]). Success rates as low as 8% have been reported post Whipple ERCP and the difficulties complications are well stated in a website summarizing the difficulties of ERCP with native and altered PD and BD anatomy after B2 resection [13, 14]. Chahal et al. noted a success rate of 51% in 45/88 ERCP attempts after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Success was much more likely for biliary indications, 37/44 patients (84%), than for pancreatic indications, 3/37 patients (8%) [13].
In view of the fact that local recurrence after resection for cancer of the pancreas is at least 30% and there is a chance that this can cause gastric outlet obstruction that may be difficult to treat endoscopically we will use B1 reconstruction selectively, particularly for main duct IPMN.
5. Conclusion
Proximal gastrojejunal reconstruction following pancreaticoduodenal resection may be safely done with similar morbidity to traditional pancreaticojejunal reconstructions. PGJ reconstruction may be of greater value when direct visual access to the bile duct or pancreatic duct is necessary, and should be considered when doing resection for mucinous cysts or IPMN of the head of the pancreas. Concerns about pancreatic fistula delaying feeding were not evident in this study. Previous experience with this reconstruction and type A or B pancreatic fistula has shown this to be a theoretical concern. To date it has been a value in 4 of 7 patients.

Abstract: Ferromagnetic FexGe1−x with x = 2%–9% are obtained by Fe deposition onto Ge(001) at high temperatures (500 °C). Low energy electron diffraction (LEED) investigation evidenced the preservation of the (1 × 1) surface structure of Ge(001) with Fe deposition. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) at Ge 3d and Fe 2p core levels evidenced strong Fe diffusion into the Ge substrate and formation of Ge-rich compounds, from FeGe3 to approximately FeGe2, depending on the amount of Fe deposited. Room temperature magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) evidenced ferromagnetic ordering at room temperature, with about 0.1 Bohr magnetons per Fe atom, and also a clear uniaxial magnetic anisotropy with the in-plane easy magnetization axis. This compound is a good candidate for promising applications in the field of semiconductor spintronics.

Abstract
A new nanocrystalline sensitizer with the chemical formula (CH3CH2NH3)PbI3 is synthesized by reacting ethylammonium iodide with lead iodide, and its crystal structure and photovoltaic property are investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis confirms orthorhombic crystal phase with a = 8.7419(2) Å, b = 8.14745(10) Å, and c = 30.3096(6) Å, which can be described as 2 H perovskite structure. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy and UV-visible spectroscopy determine the valence band position at 5.6 eV versus vacuum and the optical bandgap of ca. 2.2 eV. A spin coating of the CH3CH2NH3I and PbI2 mixed solution on a TiO2 film yields ca. 1.8-nm-diameter (CH3CH2NH3)PbI3 dots on the TiO2 surface. The (CH3CH2NH3)PbI3-sensitized solar cell with iodide-based redox electrolyte demonstrates the conversion efficiency of 2.4% under AM 1.5 G one sun (100 mW/cm2) illumination.

Direct transfection of SF9 cells for small-scale protein purification
(Protocol is from DA, based on ZB, based on Novagen protocol)
• This protocol is for transfecting 15 mL cultures of SF9 cells at 1*10^6 cells/mL. 3 mL of DNA:lipid complexes are used for each 15 mL culture of cells. The protocol can be scaled up slightly by making a larger batch of DNA:lipid complexes (I have made up to 10 mL at a time) and splitting it among multiple 15 mL cultures in separate flasks.
1. Determine the cell density
PROTOCOL FOR COUNTING CELLS:
1) Get SF9 cells from the incubator shaker, and put in TC hood
2) Remove 10 μL of the cells, being sure to shake the flask beforehand
3) Dilute the cells 5x with 40 uL of Trypan blue
4) Place 10 μL in a hemocytometer (from Shirley’s bench)
5) Count the cells in 4 square grids
1 grid = 10-4 mL
Cell Density = (mean # of cells per grid)*5*10^4 cells/mL
2. Determine the volume of cells required for the day
Each transfection requires 15 mL of SF9 cells at 1*10^6 cells/mL, or 1.5*10^7 cells
3. Wash the cells by spinning 2 min at 500 rpm in a 15 mL conical in a Beckman TJ-6 centrifuge
4. Remove the supernatant, and re-suspend the pellet in unsupplemented SF 900 II media to a cell density of ~1.5*10^6 cells/mL (10 mL of media per transfection)
5. Replace cells in 28° shaker until the complexes are ready for transfection
6. Dilute 10 ug of plasmid DNA in 1.5 mL unsupplemented media; mix by inverting tube
7. Dilute 150 μl of ESCORT IV cationic lipids in 1.35 mL of unsupplemented media; mix by inverting tube
8. Add diluted DNA dropwise to diluted lipids, mixing while adding
Ensure complete mixing by inverting tube afterwards. Allow mixture to sit in the hood for at least 15’ to promote complex formation.
9. Meanwhile, retrieve and count cells; dilute the cells to a final density of 1.25 *10^6 cells/mL in unsupplemented media
10. Dispense 12 mL of cell culture into a plastic 125 mL culture flask
11. Add 3 mL DNA:lipid complexes to the cell culture.
12. Replace cell culture in 28° shaker; cells may be harvested in 48-72 hours

Primary Sources
In addition to works of literature, the Perseus Garner also contains texts of interest to students of history. The Principal Navigations,Voyages, Traffiques, & Discoveries of the English Nation by Richard Hakluyt is an immense compendium of maritime information from the Age of Discovery; The Political Writings of James I is a collection of important writings by the monarch.
The Chronicles of England, Ireland, and Scotland, compiled by Raphael Holinshed and others and first published in 1577, were the source of many of Shakespeare's plays. Outside large research libraries they are seldom available except in abridged versions; the Perseus Garner will eventually include all six volumes as reprinted in 1808 (the present sampling is from Volume IV).

History
the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia
Delaplaine was incorporated as a town in April 1912 but has a history that dates back to the time of the French explorations. Early settlers found remains of a French-Indian trading post at the site. When the St. Louis-Iron Mountain Railroad pushed lines into northern Arkansas in 1873 a station was established called Grey's Station. The name was later changed to the French "De La Plaine" (of the plain) in recognition of the earlier French trading post. The rail line provided the entire county with passenger and freight services, especially for the local timber industry. The county's first newspaper was published at Delaplaine in 1873 by James W. Wray.

Quality of Hospital In-use: Usability Evaluation Method as an Assessment
Siti Norsazlina Haron, Md Yusof Hamid
Abstract
In Malaysia health-care design, developing spatial design is considered as one of the most important tasks in the preliminary design stage. In consequence, the outcome of the design gives an impact to quality of service design. The selection of quality assessment is important in support of the mission and standards of Malaysia health-care services. It is associated with a delivered a user-friendly, efficient and effective service to the patient. Hence the usability concept is attached to user’s perspective evaluation very appropriate as a measurement. The purpose of this paper is to review and understanding the” usability concept" and "Usability method" as an assessment the quality of architecture in- use”, and suggest a possible usability conceptual framework in achieving quality service design, which is an impact from that quality of architecture in-use. This paper will be focusing on three usability key factors; efficiency, effectiveness and users’ satisfaction. This overview will help researchers in their future study to investigate the relationships between the spatial design and “usability concepts". This is done by taking into considerations the user experience of the outpatient area as part of Malaysian Primary Healthcare (MPHC) service in public hospital.

Why Pro-Choice Is the Only Choice
by shamanic
Who are these people urging Democrats to abandon women's health and reproductive rights? In the New York Times today, Melinda Hennenberger argues that Democrats are abandoning pro-life liberals by their support of safe and legal abortion.
At Hullabaloo, Tristero reframes the debate, dubbing the pro-life hordes "pro-coathanger" and working to restrict health care access to only the rich. His response is worth a read, but misses a larger point.
And here's the larger point: The numbers of abortions in America have been declining for nearly three decades, and declined dramatically under Bill Clinton's economic stewardship (graph). In other words, Democratic economic policies, which keep more wealth in more hands, reduces the incidence of abortion.
The Democratic Party must support safe and legal abortion, period. But that doesn't mean it can't support a reduction in abortion rates and work to build a society where abortion is less necessary for women. Where there is economic security, unplanned pregnancies are less frightening. Where there is job security, unplanned pregnancies can be brought to term. These are the policies Democrats implement in office, and this how Democrats should communicate their support for safe and legal abortion that is necessary less often.

Saving ThrowsEdit
Generally, when you are subject to an unusual or magical attack, you get a saving throw to avoid or reduce the effect. Like an attack roll, a saving throw is a d20 roll plus a bonus based on your class, level, and an ability score. Your saving throw modifier is: Base save bonus + ability modifier.
Saving Throw TypesEdit
The three different kinds of saving throws are Fortitude, Reflex, and Will:
FortitudeEdit
These saves measure your ability to stand up to physical punishment or attacks against your vitality and health. Apply your Constitution modifier to your Fortitude saving throws.
ReflexEdit
These saves test your ability to dodge area attacks. Apply your Dexterity modifier to your Reflex saving throws.
WillEdit
These saves reflect your resistance to mental influence as well as many magical effects. Apply your Wisdom modifier to your Will saving throws.
Saving Throw Difficulty ClassEdit
The DC for a save is determined by the attack itself.
Automatic Failures and SuccessesEdit
A natural 1 (the d20 comes up 1) on a saving throw is always a failure (and may cause damage to exposed items; see Items Surviving after a Saving Throw). A natural 20 (the d20 comes up 20) is always a success.

Android Booting
From eLinux.org
Revision as of 01:53, 17 August 2010 by Tim Bird (Talk | contribs)
Jump to: navigation, search
The bootup of an Android system consists of several phases, which are outlined here.
Key bootup components[edit]
Bootloader[edit]
The first program which runs on any Android system is the bootloader. Technically, the bootloader is outside the realm of Android itself, and is used to do very low-level system initialization, before loading the Linux kernel. The kernel then does the bulk of hardware, driver and file system initialization, before starting up the user-space programs and applications that make up Android.
Often, the first-stage bootloader will provide support for loading recovery images to the system flash, or performing other recovery, update, or debugging tasks.
The bootloader on the ADP1 detects certain keypresses, which can be used to make it load a 'recovery' image (second instance of the kernel and system), or put the phone into a mode where the developer can perform development tasks ('fastboot' mode), such as re-writing flash images, directly downloading and executing an alternate kernel image, etc.
'init'[edit]
A key component of the Android bootup sequence is the program 'init', which is a specialized program for initializing elements of the Android system. Unlike other Linux systems (embedded or otherwise), Android uses its own initialization program. (Linux desktop systems have historically used some combination of /etc/inittab and sysV init levels - e.g. /etc/rc.d/init.d with symlinks in /etc/rc.d/rc.[2345]). Some embedded Linux systems use simplified forms of these -- such as the init program included in busybox, which processes a limited form of /etc/inittab, or a direct invocation of a shell script or small program to do fixed initialization steps.
The init program processes two files, executing the commands it finds in them, called 'init.rc' and 'init.<machine_name>.rc', where <machine_name> is the name of the hardware that Android is running on. (Usually, this is a code word. The name of the HTC1 hardware for the ADP1 is 'trout', and the name of the emulator is 'goldfish'.
the 'init.rc' file is intended to provide the generic initialization instructions, while the 'init.<machine_name>.rc' file is intended to provide the machine-specific initialization instructions.
The syntax for these .rc files is documented in a readme file in the source tree. See the Android init language reference
Or, see also: http://www.kandroid.org/android_pdk/bring_up.html
Sequence of boot steps on ADP1[edit]
firmware[edit]
• first-stage bootloader runs
• it detects if a special key is held, and can launch the recovery image, or the 'fastboot' bootloader
• eventually, a kernel is loaded into RAM (usually with an initrd)
• normally, this will be the kernel from the 'kernel' flash partition.
kernel[edit]
• the kernel boots
• core kernel initialization
• memory and I/O areas are initialized
• interrupts are started, and the process table is initialized
• driver initialization
• kernel daemons (threads) are started
• root file system is mounted
• the first user-space process is started
• usually /init (note that other Linux systems usually start /sbin/init)
user space[edit]
• the kernel runs /init
• /init processes /init.rc and /init.<machine_name>.rc
• activity manager is run (process name: servicemanager)
• dalvik VM is started (zygote)
• several daemons are started:
• rild - radio interface link daemon
• vold - volume daemon (media volumes, as in file systems - nothing to do with audio volume)
• the system_server starts, and initializes several core services
• the activity manager starts core applications (which are themselves dalvik applications)
• com.android.phone - phone application
• android.process.acore - home (desktop) and a few core apps.
• other processes are also started by /init, somewhere in there:
• adb
• mediaserver
• dbus-daemon
• akmd

Purpose
For preparation and loading of protein samples onto a gel for SDS-PAGE analysis (Western blot/protein blot).
• Preparation: SDS contained in the sample buffer makes proteins negatively charged proportionally to their length. 2-mercapto-ethanol/DTT breaks disulphide bonds.
• Loading: glycerol makes the sample buffer more dense than the surrounding running buffer of the protein gel, enabling easy loading into the gel pockets.
Preparation
To make 10 mL of 4x stock
• 2.0 ml 1M Tris-HCl pH 6.8
• 0.8 g SDS
• 4.0 ml 100% glycerol
• 0.4 ml 14.7 M β-mercaptoethanol
• 1.0 ml 0.5 M EDTA
• 8 mg bromophenol Blue
Final concentrations (1x)
• 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 6.8
• 2% SDS
• 10% glycerol
• 1% β-mercaptoethanol
• 12.5 mM EDTA
• 0.02 % bromophenol blue
Use of loading buffer

Abstract (provisional)
Background
Psychoses such as hallucinations are a frequent non-motor problem in patients with Parkinson disease (PD) and serious psychosis requires anti-psychotic medications that worsen Parkinsonism. Although psychosis could be associated with patient-related or biological factors such as cognition, age, and severity of PD, it can also be associated with medications.
Therefore we aimed to investigate patient-related and medication-related risks of psychosis requiring anti-psychotic medications (serious psychosis).
Methods
A retrospective cohort of 331 PD patients was followed for 2 years. Patient-related factors associated with risk of psychosis were identified by a survival time analysis. In patients who developed psychosis, medications during the hazard period (1-14 days before psychosis) were contrasted with those during the control periods (1 and 3 months before psychosis) using a case--crossover analysis to identify medication-related risks of psychosis.
Results
Serious psychosis was detected in 52 patients and the incidence was estimated to be 116 (95% confidence interval [CI], 85-148) per 1,000 person-years. Analyses of baseline characteristics revealed the risk to be higher in patients with a modified Hoehn--Yahr stage of >=4 (hazard ratio [HR], 2.22; 95% CI, 1.11-4.40), those with a longer duration of PD (HR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.00-1.55, per 5 years) and those with Mini-Mental State Examination scores of <=24 (HR, 2.66; 95% CI, 1.37-5.16). The case-crossover analysis revealed that anti-cholinergics use (HR, 19.7; 95% CI, 2.39-162) elevated the risk, while donepezil use reduced it (HR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.27-0.85).
Conclusions
Risk of psychosis was elevated by increasing severity of PD, cognitive dysfunction and duration of the disease. It was elevated by use of anti-cholinergic drugs and reduced by use of donepezil. The medication-related risk was higher in patients aged >= 70 years. In contrast, there was no significant medication-related risk in younger patients, suggesting different pathomechanisms between young and old patients.

Study on the Management Factors of the Sustainable Development Environmental Governance Mechanism in Inner Mongolia
Suzhen Zhou
Abstract
The sustainable development mode is the development mode integrating material civilization, spirit civilization and ecological civilization, and its connotation includes the sustainable growth of economy, the cycle utilization of resources, the harmonious intergrowth of society, the inheritance and extension of cultures, and the balance and evolvement of nature and zoology. The resource and environmental conditions and the actuality of social economic development of Inner Mongolia decide the indivisibility of the sustainable development and the environmental governance, and the working principle of the environmental governance mechanism should be explained from many management factors such as the environmental system, the environmental planning, the environmental monitoring, the environmental technology, and the environmental culture.

: How good is "Organism Overdrive" as a band name?
I wanted to put up a poll asking that, but I can't find a poll program, and writing one involves doing work. Segfault's poll program uses a database, which is overkill for me.
If I know me, and I think I do, I'll probably get bored of studying tonight and write a poll program then.

Ecoregions
Comoros forests
August 7, 2012, 8:40 pm
Comoros Islands Photograph by William Trewhella
The Cormoros forests are situated on the four Comoros Islands, which are distinctive in size, shape, and topography, with a variety of habitat types. The two larger islands, Grande Comoro and Anjouan have significant topographic relief and support lowland and montane rainforests. Mangrove habitats are present along the coasts and areas of sparse herbaceous vegetation exist on Grande Comore where lava flows have left little soil. The flora and fauna has biogeographical affinities to Madagascar and to a lesser degree to the African continent. Like many Indo-Pacific islands, the Comoros host a diverse array of endemic species, including more than 500 species of plants, 21 species of birds, nine species of reptiles, and two species of fruit bats. However, forest cover is rapidly declining and less than 30 percent of the original area is left today; many of the endemic species are severely threatened from habitat loss and invasive species, and others have already gone extinct. Frequent cyclones and volcanic activity pose further risks to the surviving species. Conservation of the remaining forested areas, particularly on Mount Karthala on Grande Comore, Mount Ntringui on Anjouan, and Mount Koukoule on Moheli, is a priority for the conservation of endemic species.
Location and General Description
This ecoregion covers the forests and former forested habitats of the Comoros Islands in the western Indian Ocean. These islands are located in the northern part of the Mozambique Channel about 300 kilometers (km) from northern Madagascar and about 300 km from the mainland of East Africa. There are four islands in total - Grande Comore (1,146 km2), Moheli (211 km2), and Anjouan (424 km2) comprise the Independent Republic of the Comoros, and Mayotte (374 km2) is a French dependent territory.
The Comoros islands have a maritime tropical climate. The rainy season is from October to April when the predominant northerly winds of the Indian Ocean bring moist, warm air to the region. The average temperature during the wet season is 25 °C with temperatures reaching above 29 °C in March, the hottest month. From May to September southerly winds dominate the region bringing cooler (approximately 18 °C) and drier air. Rainfall and temperature vary from island to island throughout the year and even vary within islands due to the dramatic topography. The central, higher elevation areas of an island are often cooler and wetter than the coastal regions. This climatic variation results in distinct microhabitats/microecosystems on the islands with correspondingly distinct flora and fauna.
The Comoros Islands are purely volcanic in origin, ranging in age from the oldest, Mayotte, to the youngest island, Grande Comoro. Grande Comoro is dominated by the still active volcano Mount Karthala (2,355 meters (m)), which erupts every 10 to 20 years. The 1977 outpourings of basaltic lava from this mountain are already being colonized by vegetation. However, the forests as well as the soils developed over these volcanic materials are immature. Stuart et al. reported that 7 percent of the island’s surface is in pasture, 16 percent remains as native forest and woodlands, and only 43 percent of the island’s surface is cultivatable, although this figure may be low, since cultivation on Anjouan occurs on slopes greater than 60 degrees. The majority of the natural forest vegetation has been cleared, and this clearance is still proceeding. Because the soil on these islands consists of laterite, which is rich in minerals but very poor in humus material, it is subject to extreme erosion when forest cover is removed.
With some exceptions the vegetation in this ecoregion is similar to that on Madagascar. The lowland and mid-elevation evergreen moist forests are the largest and most threatened habitat, occurring from sea level to approximately 1800 m in elevation. Above 1800 m on Mount Karthala, stands of a giant heath (Phillipia comorensis) dominate the rugged landscape. Sparse herbaceous vegetation grows on lava flows and cinder fields at the base of this active volcano. Other lowland areas host a characteristic Indo-Pacific scrub formation. There are at least 935 plant species registered on these islands, of which over 40 percent or 416 are native. Major plant families include Sapotaceae, Ebenaceae, Rubiaceae, Myrtaceae, Clusiaceae, Lauraceae, Burseraceae, Euphorbiaceae, Sterculiaceae, Pittoscoraceae, and Celastracea.
Biodiversity Features
Of the approximately 2000 native plant species, including 175 ferns and 72 species of orchids, 33 percent are endemic to the Comoros. Most of the flora of these islands has affinities with those of Africa and Madagascar; however, a small percentage is more closely related to that of Asia.
The species richness of the fauna is relatively low on the Comoros, although it is higher than most other Indian Ocean Islands due to its proximity to both Madagascar and continental Africa. There are only 8 species of extant native terrestrial mammals include three species of fruit bats, 3 insectivorous bat species and two lemurs. There are 25 species of terrestrial reptiles and two species of sea turtle, including green turtle (Chelonia mydas) that nest on the beaches of these islands, and hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata), which are seen in the waters around the islands. Species diversity in birds and amphibians is also rather low.
Although the animal species richness is relatively low on the Comoros, there is a high proportion of endemic species. Among the avifauna, 21 species are considered strict endemics to this ecoregion. Twelve species are confined to just one island and the others occur on several of the islands. Examples include the Anjouan sunbird (Nectarinia comorensis) and the Anjouan brush-warbler (Nesillas longicaudata) that are strictly confined to Anjouan Island, and the Comoro olive-pigeon (Columba pollenii) and Comoro blue-pigeon (Alectroenas sganzini) which occur on all the islands. Most of these species are found in the diminishing lowland forest areas, and one, the Mount Karthala white-eye (Zosterops mouroniensis VU), is found only in the higher elevation heath vegetation zone (above 1,700 meters) of Mount Karthala, on Grande Comore. This mountain has four species of birds strictly confined to it, including the critically endangered Karthala scops owl (Otus pauliani), Grand Comoro flycatcher (Humblotia flavirostris, EN), and the Grand Comoro drongo (Dicrurus fuscipennis, EN), so all these species are extremely vulnerable to habitat loss. Several of the bird species have populations less than 100 individuals and are thus critically endangered. An additional two species of birds are regarded as threatened with extinction: the Mayotte drongo (Dicrurus waldenii, EN) and the Anjouan scops owl (Otus capnodes, CR).
Of the 8 native mammals present on these islands, two species of fruit bats are endemic (Pteropus livingstonii and Rousettus obliviosus). Other native mammals include the mongoose lemur (Eulemur mongoz, VU) and a near-endemic sub-species of fruit bat (Pteropus seychellensis comorensis). Of the 34 reptiles present, 9 are strict endemics. Endemics include two species of day geckos (Phelsuma spp.), four species of shinning-skink (Cryptoblepharus spp.), and two species of chameleon (Furcifer spp.). These are no species of endemic amphibian. Among the dozens of endemic Lepidopterans are two species of swallowtail butterflies, Papilio aristophontes and Graphium levassori.
Cyclones and volcanic activity are major ecological processes that affect biodiversity. Cyclones bring heavy winds, which can affect fruit bat populations, topple trees, and cause landslides. These effects are exacerbated by recent logging activities that open forest areas increasing their exposure to wind. Volcanic activity affects biodiversity by covering intact habitat. Recent lava fields host a number of unique plant species that are adapted to these dry and sun-exposed conditions.
Current Status
The conservation status of forests in this ecoregion is poor. The human population of the islands is high, with over 700,000 residents on the four islands combined (with a population density greater than 330 people/km2). Population growth hovers around 3 percent per year and is putting increasing pressure on the forests. Little good agricultural land remains because of the rugged topography on the three islands of the RFI Comores. The majority of the human population of Grande Comoro and Mayotte is concentrated in the coastal lowland areas. However, on Anjouan, and to a lesser extent Moheli, there are significant populations in mountain villages. Introduced exotic species are problematic on these and other islands, and several management programs have been enlisted to control and even eliminate some of them.
The native vegetation of all Indian Ocean islands is seriously endangered due to the extensive conversion of land to agricultural use. Lowland forests have been almost completely destroyed up to 300 or 400 meters on all four of these islands, making it likely that some endemic plant species are already extinct. Little intact forest remains on Anjouan and Mayotte, while much of the remaining forests that exist on Moheli and Grande Comore are badly degraded except at higher elevations where terrain is rugged or otherwise unproductive. It is thus likely that several plant species are at risk in these areas as well.
The natural forest habitats are highly fragmented due to human activities. Only some forest patches, mostly in the higher elevations, survive, and these are currently under heavy pressure. The largest remaining block of forest is on the slopes of Mount Karthala on Grande Comore. On Anjouan there are two remaining forest tracts of approximately 10 km2 in extent. This provides the only remaining habitat for the surviving population of the Anjouan scops owl (Otus capnodes) as well as the majority of habitat for the Livingstone’s fruit bat (Pteropus livingstonii). On Mayotte forests still remain on Mounts Sapéré, Bénara, and Choungi. A captive breeding program for Livingstone’s fruit bat is well established with over 2 dozen individuals being studied in captivity in Bristol Zoo and the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust.
None of the remaining forest areas are protected. Reserves have been proposed for several areas (including Mount Karthala), but this has not yet been established. There are just three protected areas in this ecoregion, the Saziley National Park on Mayotte, Lake Dziani Boudouni, a Ramsar wetlands site, and the Moheli Marine park including the Moheli islets, both on Moheli. Creation of a Coelacanth Marine Park is currently in process on the southern end of Grande Comore.
Types and Severity of Threats
All mature forest habitats on the Comoros Islands are highly threatened by agricultural expansion. Deforestation or conversion of land along rivers further changes the microclimatic conditions in the forest ecosystem and may severely affect temperature-sensitive species including bats and reptiles. The regenerating forests on the recent lava flows of Mount Karthala are not being farmed, as these lands are marginal for agriculture. Populations of other endemic species are in some cases critically small and extremely endangered, for example in several species of birds.
Current forest conservation measures are inadequate, and there is a high risk of large-scale extinction if appropriate protective measures are not implemented. Remaining forest patches are highly fragmented and represent predominantly montane habitats. Wildlife exploitation includes poaching of green sea turtles for local consumption. Collection of day geckoes for the pet trade is a potential threat to these species. Currently, hunting of fruit bats is not a problem, however as food resources become scarcer due to growing population, the local taboos against eating bats may disappear. Exotic species present a large problem - they are responsible for denuding smaller islands (Round Island) and have adverse effects on native vegetation on all islands. Introduced carnivores such as the Javan mongoose (Herpestes javanicus) have severe effects on ground-nesting bird populations, and some introduced exotic plants out-compete or severely impact native plant species.
Justification of Ecoregion Delineation
The Comoros Islands were included with the African mainland in White’s ‘coastal mosaic’ vegetation unit. However, it is considered a distinct ecoregion because the island group is separated from both Madagascar and the African mainland, and posses a high level of endemism in various taxa, particularly birds.

The following protocol for Northern Blotting is based on getting RNA from the RNA extraction method used by Sean Moore, Agarose (as opposed to polyacrylamide) gel electrophoresis, and the Turboblotter system from Whatman. This is largely a compilation of another previous Endy lab protocol and the Knight lab's protocol for RNA gels.
Contents
Materials
• RNA extracted from cells (should be ~1-5µg/µl).
• SYBR Gold for staining the gel (if you're going to view it under UV).
• HPLC grade or better DMSO
RNAse free water
• make lots for rinsing glassware and electrophoresis chambers (4L for a reaction?)
• Add DEPC to final concentration of 0.1%.
• Incubate 1hr at 37°C.
• Autoclave for 15 mins at 15 psi.
Turboblotter Kit
This kit uses downward capillary transfer and therefore can run a transfer in <4hrs. It uses (+) charge nylon membranes, which bind RNA more tightly but also have higher background.
• From Whatman [[1]]
• Stack and Buffer trays. These can apparently be improvised using empty tip boxes (?).
• Blotting paper.
• (+)nylon membrane (Nytran SuPerCharge)
• buffer wick
10X BPTE electrophoresis buffer
This buffer has low ionic strength and does not remove glyoxal from RNA during electrophoresis and therefore does not have to be recirculated.
• The final pH of this 10x buffer is ~6.5.
• 100 mM PIPES
• 300 mM Bis-Tris
• 10 mM EDTA
• Prepare by adding the following to 90 ml of distilled H2O. (might scale up to 500ml for first time).
• 3 g of PIPES (free acid)
• 6 g of Bis-Tris (free base)
• 2 ml of 0.5 M EDTA
1. Treat the solution with final concentration of 0.1% DEPC for 1 hour at 37°C
2. Autoclave.
Glyoxal
• Commercially available stock solutions of glyoxal contain both hydrated forms of glyoxal and oxidation products that can degrade RNA. These must be removed; we used the protocol as follows (See Sambrook and Russel 3rd Ed, App. 1-24):
• Run the Glyoxal over mixed-bed ion exchange resin. We used BioRad AG 501-X8 (D) resin beads (these beads need to be largely blue; if they're gold-orange, they've oxidized and should be disposed of as HazWaste. Ours were a mix of blue and gold beads, so I ended up just using as much resin as I needed to to get the pH up ~~Felix Moser). Equal volumes of resin and glyoxal were placed in an epp tube; the glyoxal's pH was measured w/ pH paper strips after a few minutes. Repeat this until the glyoxal's pH is >5.5.
Glyoxal reaction mixture
• 6mL DMSO
• 2mL deionized glyoxal
• 1.2mL of 10X BPTE electrophoresis buffer
• 0.6mL of 80% glycerol
• 0.2ml of either ddH2O or ethidium bromide, depending on how or whether you're staining it.
• (divide into small aliquots and store at -70°C)
RNA gel loading buffer
• 95% deionized formamide
• Purchase a distilled deionized preparation of formamide and store in small aliquots under nitrogen at -20°C.
• 0.025% (w/v) bromophenol blue
• 0.025% (w/v) xylene cyanol FF
• 5 mM EDTA (pH 8.0)
• 0.025% (w/v) SDS
• got some from Sean Moore. Make sure final volume of buffer is no less than 50% volume of the sample.
"Denaturing" Buffer
• 0.5NaOH
• 1.5M NaCl
• For 1L: 20g NaOH, 87.66g NaCl, bring volume to 1L w/ ddH2O.
"Neutralizing" Buffer
• 0.5M Tris-HCl pH 7
• 1.5M NaCl
• For 1L: 60.56g Tris, 87.66g NaCl, 800ml ddH2O, adjust pH w/ conc. HCl and bring volume to 1L w/ ddH2O.
20x SSC "Transfer" buffer
• 3M NaCl
• 0.3M sodium citrate
• adjust pH to 7.
• For 1L: 175.5g NaCl, 88.2g Na citrate (dihydrate), 800ml ddH2O, adjust pH to 7 then bring to 1L w/ ddH2O.
Prewash Solution (0.1x SSC/ 0.1% SDS)
50 mL Total Volume
• 250 µL of 20x SSC
• 500 µL of 10% SDS
• 49.25 mL of nuclease-free H2O

• 15 mL of 20x SSC
• 0.5 mL of 10% SDS
• 29.5 mL of Nuclease-free H2O
Stringency Wash (6x SSC/ 0.1% SDS)
200 mL Total Volume
• 2 mL of 10% SDS
• 60 mL of 20X SSC
• 138 mL of nuclease-free H2O
Protocol
Running the Gel
For RNase free electrophoresis apparatus: Clean electrophoresis tanks and combs used for electrophoresis of RNA with detergent solution, rinse in H20, dry with ethanol, and then fill with a solution of 3% H2O2. After 10 minutes at room temperature, rinse the electrophoresis tanks and combs thoroughly with H2O2 treated with 0.1% DEPC
This protocol comes pretty much straight from Sambrook and Russel 3rd ed.:7-29.
1. Set up the glyoxal denaturation reaction by combining 1-2 ul of RNA (up to 10 ug) with 10 ul of glyoxal reaction mixture. Also treat the RNA ladder (?). Run molecular weight markers for staining with sybrGold(?).
2. Incubate the RNA solutions for 60 minutes at 55°C. Chill the samples for 10 minutes in ice water and then centrifuge them for 5 seconds to deposit all of the fluid in the bottom of the microfuge tubes.
3. While the samples are incubating, clean electrophoresis tank if necessary, and pour a 1.5% agarose gel in 1X BPTE (1.05 g agarose in 70 mL buffer). When set, cover the gel with sufficient buffer.
4. Add the formamide loading buffer (>equal volume buffer) to the glyoxylated RNA samples, and without delay, load the glyoxylated RNA samples into the wells of the gel.
5. Carry out electrophoresis at 70 Volts (in 14cm gels).
6. Trim away areas of the gel to be stained with sybrGold. (Membrane should be cut to match the size of the gel.) Wrap gel to be stained in saran wrap and store at 4°C until post-transfer gel is ready to be stained.
7. Soak gel 30 min in "Denaturing Buffer" (0.5 M NaOH/1.5 M NaCl (~400 mL)). Agitate occasionally.
8. Rinse the gel in ddH2O and Soak gel 20 min in "Neutralizing Buffer" (0.5 M Tris (pH 7.4)/ 1.5 M NaCl (~400 mL))
7 and 8 are optional steps for improving the transfer of long RNAs, esp from >1% gels. These steps are the from the Turboblotter protocol
Stain gel (can't do if continuing to northern)
1. Prepare fresh 1:10,000 dilution in RNase free water of SYBR gold.
2. Ensure pH is 7.0-8.5.
3. Pour into staining tray.
4. Place gel in plastic staining container.
5. Shield from light.
6. Agitate gently for 10-40 mins at room temperature.
7. Image with gel box. (Place a clear ruler next to gel to more accurately assess length.)
Prepare the Membrane (5-15 minutes)
NOTE: Be gentle with the membrane. The number of times a membrane can be stripped and re-probed is usually limited by physical damage to the blot.
1. Cut a piece of membrane to the dimensions of the agarose gel. Max dimensions for hybridization in 50mL tubes: 8 x 9 cm (circumference x diameter). If membrane is larger, sandwich between sheets of nylon mesh to allow buffer to penetrate overlap.
2. Wet the membrane by carefully laying it on top of Milli-Q water in a shallow tray. (Do not immerse the Immobilon-Ny+ membrane in liquid on the first liquid exposure. If you wet both sides, air can become trapped in the pores and form bubbles.)
3. Agitate the tray gently once the membrane is wet to completely immerse the membrane.
4. Transfer the membrane to a second tray containing transfer buffer (20 x SSC).
5. Equilibrate the membrane at least 5 minutes.
Transfer of RNA onto Membrane by Turboblotter Capillary Transfer (3-4 hours)
NOTE: Refer to Fig. 1 when setting up the TurboBlotter System.
1. Place stack tray of transfer device on bench, making sure it is level.
2. Place 20 sheets of dry GB004 blotting paper (thick) in stack tray.
3. Place 4 sheets of dry GB002 blotting paper (thin) on top of stack.
4. Place one sheet of GB002 blotting paper, prewet in transfer buffer on stack.
5. Place transfer membrane on stack.Smooth bubbles by rolling a clean glass pipette over the surface. Do not touch with gloves.
6. Cover the membrane with agarose gel, cut the gel to the size of the membrane, making sure there are no air bubbles between the gel and the membrane.
7. Wet the top surface of the gel with transfer buffer and place 3 sheets of GB002 Blotting Paper, presoaked in transfer buffer on top of the gel.
8. Attach the buffer tray of the transfer device to the bottom tray using the circular alignment buttons to align both trays.
9. Fill the buffer tray with 125 ml transfer buffer for 7 x 8 cm to 11 x 14 cm transfers; (200 ml for 12 x 21 cm to 20 x 25 cm transfers).
10. Start the transfer by connecting the gel stack with the buffer tray using the precut buffer wick (included in each blotter stack), presoaked in transfer buffer. Place the wick cover on top of the stack to prevent evaporation. Make sure the edges of the wick are immersed in the transfer buffer.
11. Continue the transfer for 3 hr. Additional transfer time may be required for gels thicker than 4 mm or larger-size nucleic acids. (Try 4 hr, since gel is 1.5%, cmc 3.25.05)
12. Disassembly: mark edges of gel and lane borders onto blot with pencil.
NOTE: Do not place any other weight on top of the wick cover during transfer. This is unnecessary and may inhibit transfer by crushing the pore structure of the agarose gel.
RNA Fixation with UV Cross-Linking (5 minutes)
1. It is not necessary to allow the blot to dry completely prior to UV cross-linking.
2. Place the blot on a sheet of clean filter paper to prevent contamination if you plan to place the UV light source above the blotted RNA. (If you plan to place the membrane on a UV transilluminator, clean the surface with Milli-Q water and a Kimwipe.)
3. Expose the side of the blot with the bound RNA to a UV light source (254 nm). We used one of the Sauer lab's UV handheld light sources for 5min.
Hybridization (2 hours + overnight + >1 hour)
1. If blot dimensions are less than 8 x 9 cm, place blot in a 50 mL conical tube, RNA facing in. Make sure the blot doesn't overlap itself. 50 mL conical tubes fit in the Sauer Lab "Bambino" mini-hybridization oven. If blot is too large for a 50 mL conical tube, use large glass tubes and Baker Lab hybridization oven.
2. Prewash Blot in 0.1x SSC/ 0.1% SDS for 1 hour at 65°C in hybridization oven. 10 - 15 mL of solution is required to cover the blot in a 50 mL tube, and sufficient for all steps. This incubation can be cut to 30 min if pressed (says Sean.)
3. Remove Prewash
4. Prehybridize blot for > 1 hour in 10 - 15 mL of pre-hybridization solution at hybridization temp. Hybridization temp ~15°C below estimated Tm of probe. If reusing probe in hybridization solution, thaw probe as balance. NOTE: It is possible to store blots in prehybridization solution sort-term to indefinitely at 4°C or -20°C (Sean)
5. Remove prehybridization buffer if reusing probe, otherwise retain same buffer.
6. Add hybridization buffer with old probe to blot or add new probe to pre-hybridization buffer. Hybridize >6 hrs at hybridization temp.
7. Pour off probe either into 32P liquid waste (remember to record waste) or into tube for storage at -20°C for later reuse. NOTE: if storing probe in 13 mL conical tube, remember not to fill tube completely.
8. Wash blot in 10 - 15 mL of 6x SSC/ 0.1% SDS for 5 min at room temp in the hybridization oven (Leave door open to change temp quickly. Put shield up.)
9. Repeat wash twice for a total of three room temp washes. Dispose of the first wash in the 32P liquid waste. For subsequent washes pour off buffer in the sink. (Record waste.)
10. During washes, pre-erase PhosphorImager screen 20 min on light table.
11. Repeat wash a forth time for 20 min at 10°C below estimated Tm in hybridization oven.
12. Pour off final wash. Remove damp blot from tube and lay on clean saran wrap. Fold saran wrap to seal blot.
13. Expose wrapped blot to PhosphorImager screen in casette.
14. Image screen after 1 hour.
15. Erase screen.
16. Expose screen overnight if original image is faint.
17. Erase screen before returning casette.

A Corpus-Based Study of Malaysian ESL Learners’ Use of Modals in Argumentative Compositions
Mohamed Ismail bin Abdul Kader, Neda Begi, Reza Vaseghi
Abstract
This study attempts to examine the use of English modals in terms of their frequency and functions. For this purpose, Form 4 and College students’ argumentative compositions were extracted from the Malaysian Corpus of Students’ Argumentative Writing (MCSAW). In order to analyze the data, this study employed discourse analysis and some descriptive statistics by using the WordSmith Tools Version 4.0. The findings of the study showed that Form 4 and College students used can and will more frequently in argumentative compositions compared to other modals. Moreover, the result illustrated the exploitation of present tense form of modal than the past tense form. Finally, it was also revealed that the modals of ability were the most frequent modals found in Form 4 and College students’ compositions in terms of their appropriate function. In order to improve the teaching, learning and effective usage of modal auxiliaries among ESL learners, all the central modals must be emphasized repetitively to enhance students’ understanding of modals and their functions.

Sterling/University Village is probably one of the worst places to live in Davis. There are a lot of amenities offered, including hot tub, pool, billiards, gym, computer lab, tanning booth. The billiard table is OK, but how much time can you spend doing that? The hot tub is often broken and not much warmer then the pool. I have never actually used the tanning booth, but I stepped inside it once and it was scary. The absolute worst part of U. V. is that they claim to provide internet when in fact they really don't. There is something here they call internet but it doesn't really function. Often you can surf the internet slowly, but you can't get on Aol Instant Messenger. When you can get on AIM, the internet probably won't work. If you do manage to log on succesfully, don't get to happy about it because it will probably only be about ten minutes before the connection logs you off again. Good luck getting back on hah. It is also QUITE expensive, nowhere near worth it. —Sir George Edison Lewis
2005-03-25 23:41:05 DO NOT LIVE IN STERLING/UNIVERSITY VILAGE! TERRIBLE INTERNET, NO PARKING, UNRESPONSIVE MANAGEMENT —LaurenAshley
2005-04-16 08:19:48 Sterling internet seems to have vastly improved lately. I actually left my aim on all last night without getting booted. —KenjiYamada
2005-04-17 15:41:29 We looked at the 4 bedroom units and the rooms were really small. Plus it felt more like a hotel for Greek kids rather than an apartment complex. —TracyPerkins
2005-10-03 14:24:04 The ABSOLUTE WORST POSSIBLE PLACE you can live in at UC Davis. It's like the dorms but w/out RA's and rules. Crappy management. Live here and regret it. —CeanneHa
2006-09-18 15:59:18 Poor to non existant management. No response to complaints (non working toilet, broken appliances). NO ONE receives a penny of deposit back, additional bills are sent. The pool is closed most of the time, there is NO internet access. Carpets are filthy at move-in with a promise to replace, one year later charged for dirty carpets! —Users/JeanneP
2006-09-18 16:20:06 I am surprised there has not been some mass lawsuit. —JamesSchwab
2007-03-12 15:03:48 The internet here never works and the management is seemingly nonexistant —JonMarsh
2007-03-29 18:11:03 Yeah, lots of people complain about management. But considering the problems with residents and their apparent immaturaty, it is fairly apparent that morale of the management would be fairly low. A guy upstairs gets drunk, passes out and lets his washing machine fill until it leaks all over his floor as well as the two apartments below him and across from him. Every time I go outside after a weekend there is garbage and broken glass all over the place. Lights are dismantled, broken, etc. The elevator is often vandalized. People here have no consideration for their fellow residents, and the management, in my opinion, reasonably has no respect for many of the residents. Now this is not to say that it is highly irritating to have repairs neglected, which is illegal. The internet is somewhat unstable, seeming to go down at random times, but 99% of the time it is fine. The hallways are dirty, but like I said, they do get cleaned, but it is just a vain effort. —ColinMcEnroe
2007-06-03 11:04:01 I dont know what this trash talking is about, I currently live here (07) and have had no complaints. I moved out of my old place over winter break and was desperate to find somewhere new. I don't think I couldve found a better place. I don't mean to sound like a kiss ass, but I really love it. My room is ENORMOUS - double a dorm room easy- a mastersuite in a 3/ 2, I pay 600 flat a month, which is ridiculous considering my friends in Adobe pay over 650 for a tiny 10X10 box. The management has always been friendly and helpful, maybe these aren't the same people that were working here 2 years ago, or maybe I havent seen their ugly side. Ive only had 1 bulb go out and our internet works perfectly, its slow between midnight and 3 am or so, but 80% of the residents are online. I havnt ever been unable to log in to AIM, but I think I can live with slow internet for a few hours out of the day, considering its FREE. Maybe I just got realllly lucky, or maybe this place is getting a bad rep that it doesnt deserve. —Alicia
2007-08-22 20:24:36 So I am coming up on my 1 year in UVD and I thought I would post a summary of everything.
I hate living here. The room mate matching program is a joke, all they take into consideration is the fact that two people are homeless. I ended up getting stuck with two automotive school students and it feels like I am back in the dorms. I guess it would be ok if you had 3 other people moving in with you that you knew.
The management is very nice, and thats about it. They are the most incompetent group of people I have ever come across. When you ask them to do something it probably won't get done. Having applications and paperwork with Social Security Numbers being lost is commonplace. Yet when they ask for money from you, it happens within 12 hours.
There is a significant number of car school students here, and they are the ones who commit most of the vandalism, yet the management is reluctant to kick them out. My room mate flooded our apartment and the two below us, spray painted the entire patio and has caused other damage to the apartment on top of stealing complex property—all of this is known to the management yet they refuse to kick him out. If you are looking for a place where you won't get kicked out then UVD is the place for you.
Additionally, the place is located on Cantrill Drive, if you go look at the Davis PD crime logs, chances are you will see incidents for Cantrill Drive, and given that the only residential complexes are this one and a retirement home, I strongly doubt that much activity goes on there. Also, the cops are always here talking to people. Not a very safe place in my opinion.
The internet has gotten better, but not by much.
I feel taken advantage of for living here, I would avoid the UVD at all costs. —BrandonMinow
2007-09-02 11:31:34 I apologize ahead of time for the length of this comment, but I hope that it will be helpful along with the shorter postings above.
I previously wrote:

Now I have been here for a while and am dealing with the renewal.
As wikizen Brandon Minow noted, the roommate-matching program is not all they make it out to be. My girlfriend was moved in with a girl with some severe desire to control everyone in the apartment, all the way through not allowing her to buy a dish rack and pounding on her door like a maniac. Not only did she drive my girlfriend out, but also her friend by threatening her and screaming in her face, calling her horribly vulgar names all the while. Management of course never kicked her out but just refused to let her renew which she probably wasn't going to do anyway. I got pretty lucky with my roommate matching. But of course, there is more to the story.
I moved in and they put me in a room that was filthy, as if someone had died in there from not cleaning. It smelled like every bad thing you can think of. There were flies, garbage, cups of beer, and filth everywhere. Apparently the then maintenence staff told the office that the apartment was clean. Oh well, they moved me and it was fine, but I was without a room for three nights.
Now I originally wrote that there is a problem with vandalism here. Someone even attempted to break into my girlfriend’s apartment one evening at around 3AM after a wild party next door. Everyone living here knows exactly who is destroying the complex. We have all seen it and the office knows who it is, but for them it is all about the bottom line and staying in the black. You see, they were at somewhere around 80% capacity for the last year according to Marie in the office, so they can’t afford to kick anyone out.
Now of course, the management is overall very unresponsive. For at least a month the maintenance was nearly non-existent because Marie fired them (probably rightly so). Someone was sent out from another Sequoia property in order to take care of things, but there was too much to take care of. Luckily we have a new maintenance person here named Scott who is extremely helpful and seems to be the one person on the management team genuinely concerned with customer service and he even actually enjoys his job.
Of course the unresponsiveness ends as soon as your money moving to their account concerns, but Sequoia Equities seems so tied up in bureaucracy that can’t disperse checks faster than 6-8 weeks.
This of course leads me to re-evaluate my previous assessment of low morale on the part of the complex. First of all, when you drive in you are greeted by a sign that say “ROCKIN’ THE HOUSE” and “LIVE THE LIFESTYLE YOU DESERVE.” I have been waiting for Clint Eastwood to ride up with cigar in mouth, dismount his horse, paint the place red and write “WELCOME TO HELL,” but I digress. In a way, I don’t blame people for destroying the place, after all management is advertising it as a party complex, and their unresponsiveness and passive aggressiveness would spark discontent in anyone.
Speaking of passive aggressiveness, let’s talk about this weekend. My girlfriend and I went home for the Labor Day weekend, and when we returned her lock had been changed. Now somehow she was not aware of this, and of course none of her roommates either. It also happened to be 1:00 AM, so there were no signs of life around the place. Now there were scheduled lock changes, but no way for her to get a key. They even have an emergency maintenance number, but it is disconnected.
Fast-forward to this morning, Marie in the office has another side besides sweet. Maybe this has to do with the seeming revolving door of staff in the front office, though it does seem to have stabilized a bit recently. When my reasonably irritated girlfriend asked why she hadn’t been notified of her new key being made, how she was supposed to get it, and all the questions you might consider asking after being locked out of the apartment you pay rent for overnight, Marie simply says that there was a notice on the door of the office (not of the apartment) to call Katie, who would then come and unlock the door. But of course, it wouldn’t matter if Katie had come to the door because the keys were never made- not until this morning when my girlfriend needed them. Marie’s attitude seemed passive aggressive, and the apology offered was not sincere but rather “I am sorry that you made a mistake and locked yourself out,” nor was any compensation for her night locked out of her own apartment offered. There were at least two other enraged residents at the time we went into the office this morning. This is the first day of my renewal period, and I am beginning to regret ever moving here in the first place.
Of course now they are moving up to 90% capacity and getting very strict on a lot of things because they are now going further to the green. Parking is no longer free; each apartment of four rooms is assigned two spaces, which are of course tandem spaces (meaning that if I am parked in the front, I have to find my roommate to back out from behind me in order to leave). In order to get more parking, I have to pay an extra $40 a month. It used to be that the tandem spots were for rental at $20 a month, and the covered spots were $25 a month, and that any spot not covered nor tandem was free to park in. Of course Holly in the office says, “It sucks all around.” This of course leads me to wonder that if it sucks so badly, why are the parking rates being raised? Well of course, to make up for losses cause by giving away the tandem spaces. I am not sure how many people actually rented tandem parking over the last year, but none of my roommates did.
BTW, to the poster who mentioned a lawsuit, it looks like someone might be taking them to small claims court, go look at http://www.apartmentratings.com/rate/CA-Davis-University-Village-formerly-Sterling-University-Vista-663243.html and be delighted. There are some major changes that need to happen here in order for this to be a place worth living, and if you are happy living here I am happy for you.
I would say to seriously reconsider moving into this apartment complex. In some sense I hope that this review turns away a few people thinking about living here. The problem with the complex is not the “stigma” associated with the riot here a few years back as Marie says, the problem is the few people in the office carrying out the will of Sequoia Equities in a completely unrelenting manner. I would be glad to be evicted so that I could consider the multitude of better places to live here in Davis. I could write volumes more, so if you are interested or have any questions feel free to contact me.

2007-09-02 14:40:35 This is probably the WORST place in davis to live. I tell everyone i know to stay away from this place. i even met a girl who was looking to talk to management about moving in and told her NO WAY would she be happy here. She got in her car and drove away. They offer money to you if you refer someone but that would be unethical. I would feel terrible if i did that. I have been living here since DEC 06 and REALLY don't like it at all. first of all the room mate matching system is aweful, they really don't care. I had a terrible experience with one of my roommates and had to find a new apt which management did very little about. It took them 2 weeks for them to write out a list for me of other available rooms even though they said one would be ready the next day. They didn't even try to find people i was compatible with. I had to go door to door. Fortunatly i did find some nice people to live with.
My apt got flooded because a guy's washing machine overflowed upstairs. we had dehumidifiers in out apt. for 4 days and the place was really unliveable. part of the ceiling was destroyed and there were holes. the carpet was soaked. The management did absolutely nothing to compensate us for the condition of the apt. they didn't even give us a break on rent or anything. it was probably because i didn't demand it, but that's not the kind of person i am. i guess that's what you get for being "understanding." Also, the maintenence didn't even have the decency to finish fixing up our place. They cleaned the carpets and patched up but didn't ever repaint. our apt. looked horrible.
There is always something wrong with something in the apt. but you can request to have it fixed but chances are it will never happen. The appliances are no good. oh, but if you miss a rent payment or go over on your bill, you will get a notice the next day...amazing where their priorities are.
Late one night I got locked out of my apt. after i renewed (yeah, i'll NEVER do that again). I guess they change the locks every year for security reasons. it's really stupid because they change the locks in the morning but won't allow you to pick up the key until 3 pm in the afternoon so you're basically stuck in or out of YOUR apt. anyway, management tried to tell me it was my responsibility and that the keys were in my mail box. well, they weren't and neither was a flier on my door saying the locks had been changed like they said there would be. They told me i should've called their after hours number and someone would've come into the office and given me my keys. Well, there were no keys because no one took the time to make them when they were supposed to.... when i finally did get a key it didn't work becasue it was made incorrectly. i had to go get another. despite THEIR error it was still somehow my responsibility. Their apologies were so insincer it was humerous. Marie was rude to me and made no attempt to better the situaltion. Personally i find people in the office rude. There are new people working in the office every other week called "temps" and that's really what they are. They don't know anything ever and are always gone in about 2 weeks. I think i have seen about 20 new people working in there in the last few months. i don't know what it is....but is seems like no one can stay hired for more than 14 days. As of now there is only 1 maintenence guy to keep together 400 something apts. not possible. he is very nice, but overworked. i blame management! HIRE more people!! Also, they are supposed to be open form 10 am to 5 or 5:30 but they close at random hrs. and are always late getting back. I even had one temp walk past me, unlock the door to let herself in and the promptly lock the door after herself preventing me and several others from entering even though the sign said they should've been open. She didn't say anything. RUDE!!
My favorite is the way they advertise. "Rockin the house, live the life you deserve." ummmm, ok. whatever that means. There is a picture of a guitar suggesting a really fun laid back atmosphere. They post fliers on campus with pictures of people "rockin out" and having "loud fun." oh no. people here are destructive, and don't care one bit about their neighbors. There is 3 day old vomit in the halls and broken bottles and trash everywhere. The elevator is typically destroyed and i have heard there has been broken glass in the pool. (which i will not go in). They allow pets but the lawn typically has poop on it. Management always acts over worked and tired and i'm sure they are....but what do you expect when you have a slogan and fliers like that????
Overall, i think this place is aweful. The rent is WAY to much for what you have to put up with. I will never rent here again and don't recommend anyone should. Yeah, it seems great at first and that was what i though....but once you've been here a while you'll realize it's really terrible. Management doesn't care and they will walk all over you if you let them. Don't expect to be compensated for anything. All this place wants is your rent check.....that is NO joke. I'm serious. They don't care about the resident at all. If i had to rate it i would give it 1 star. At least i have a roof over my head but that is about all.
Oh, yeah, They say they are woking on imporving this place but i can see absolutely NO evidence of that. If anything I feel like i am being treated worse than when i got here! —AnneKabala
2007-09-03 22:12:09 Hello again,
In the continuing move-in/out debacle going on over here, apparently 24-hour notice to enter is on notice. They sent a flyer out two weeks ago stating that residents should expect vendors and maintenance staff to enter their apartments anytime from 9AM until 10PM from September 1st through September 28th. This obviously does not constitute 24 hours notice, but whatever.
Apparently someone was gone for the day, and a vendor entered the apartment to replace the carpets. In order to do so, the furniture had to be moved off of the carpet. The workers put the residents sofas and TV table with the TV still on top of it outside. The sofas and his TV were both stolen when he returned home. This all occurred completely without the resident's knowledge; he had no idea the staff was even going to be entering. The only reason he is going to be able to get new stuff is because he had an upgraded renter's insurance policy.
EDIT: I should add that this is hearsay. There is a possibility that the renter was aware that his apartment was going to be entered. There definitely was a theft of his sofa and television.
Very shady dealings have been occurring lately. —ColinMcEnroe
2007-09-12 00:35:50 Whenever I drove into the complex I saw the aforementioned "Live Life Like You Deserve" banner and thought to myself EVERYTIME: I must really be a bad person to live this horribly. Avoid. I do not doubt the move out fiasco. This place doesn't care about anything except trying to stay in the Black.
They did tell me that they are in the process of getting rid of the non University students, ie. the ones who are causing the problems. —BrandonMinow
2007-09-12 13:46:13 Ok so my experience when i lived there: OMG worse place ever to live! The staff at the main office is never around, even tho the office is open, it's hard to find someone actually inside working during normal business hours, they tend to avoid the tenants. They lost my records during move out time, so they didn't even know i was a resident there.... they thought i was someone else.... tried to charge me for like 4 months back rent (based off someone else's records) i didnt get my deposit back until six months later.... the management is a mess.... and if they want you to come into the office for some reason... they pull stupid stunts like cut off your internet until you come in and talk to them. I seriously don't recommend this place. —WeMo
2007-09-14 17:31:34 If you thought "Live the life you deserve" and "Rockin' the House" were bad, wait until you see next years theme: "What Happens In Davis Stays In Davis." This info is coming from a staff member. —ColinMcEnroe
Here is the BBB site to make a new complaint against Sequoia:

Here is Sequoia's website to complain straight to the managing company:

2007-09-26 13:41:11 Also, Brandon Minnow said they told us they were getting rid of non University students. They lied.
Anytime anyone says anything they hide behind "fair housing" (Which makes no sense because they use it for EVERYTHING) —qwerty
2007-09-27 07:49:11 qwerty, perhaps lose the anonymity and you will have the opportunity to move :)
About the fair housing, they really can't kick people out that aren't university students, and I don't think they should. They have a funny way of offering different deals to different people, and it is solely dependant upon whether or not you are a wyotech student or a UCD student. In fact, their files in the office have UCD or WT written in the top right corner next to each person's name. One time a WT studnet called looking for housing and was denied, a few minutes later his girlfriend called and said she was a UCD student and they said they had plenty of vacancies. Discrimination, anyone? —ColinMcEnroe
2007-09-27 11:22:39 I have been meaning to leave a comment on here for a long time. This is now my third year living here and I thought I would comment on everything I have been through with this complex. I was going to move out but life sometimes sucks and I thought it would be too stressful to move out. Anyways, I'll start with the first year when they lost my rent checks three times and tried to charge me late fees for their error even though I had my copies of the checks. Then they sold me a covered parking space but I quickly realized that it was stupid to buy a space since there was plenty of parking. I wrote them a letter saying that I didn't want the parking space anymore. They of coarse lost this letter and months later decided to send me a bill for hundreds of dollars for a parking space that I never used. When I moved in, I was told that only the covered spaces were purchased and that you could park anywhere else. wrong, and I found that out when I went to the parking lot and found my car gone. I was then crying in the office thinking that my car was stolen but no it was towed. The only nice thing that they have done was not make me pay to pick up my car in the scariest tow place in dixon. Fast forward to my dryer breaking and them taking three months to fix it or when my bathroom door randomly fell out of its hinges and it took them 2 weeks. By the way, why does a door fall off its hinges when no one had slammed it, weird. None of this is against the maitenance people, I usually feel sorry for them. It is the management that doesn't relay anything to them.
Ok, now I'm in this year. It's saturday night and only one of my roommates is home. Its 4am and someone decides to come through our second floor kitchen window and proceed to try to kick down my roommates bedroom door, thankfully the police are right around the corner. Not only did this perv try to kick down a door, he had turned on a stereo in another room. what the hell, why can't people steal things. Fine, we were dumb for leaving a window open but when we went to tell the management only Maurice was there. I recommend not talking to Maurice about any problems if you actually want them fixed. Anyways, we wanted all of the locks changed out and obviously the door frames fixed. I didn't have any confidence in Maurice, so I called that monday morning to find out that Maurice hadn't told anyone else in the office about the break in and that there was no maintenance order for anything. Nice.
It took 3 days for the door frame to be fixed. On top of this, no one believed us that someone had scaled the wall and gotten in through our window besides there being an obvious broken screen. I had to re-tell the break in story multiple times and they told is that it must have been one of our previous roommates. Yeah b/c our hundred pound ex roommate who we still hang out with decided to kick in a door at 4am. Thanks for the help and I feel really secure knowing that a security guard drives by maybe twice a night.
2007-09-28 00:49:37 I should probably clarify what I meant about them getting rid of the non-University students. From what I was told, they are going to let them ride out their lease and then deny them the right to renew, not straight up kick them out.
The staff does want them out because, as they told me numerous times, they are losing money from all the vandalism that goes on in the apartment complex. —BrandonMinow
2007-09-30 10:46:13 http://www.apartmentratings.com/rate/CA-Davis-University-Village-formerly-Sterling-University-Vista.html
I could probably think of other complaints every day but here's one that I forgot.
They gave us a wonderful 2 weeks notice that there would be repair happening in our apartment. What they failed to tell us was that painters would come in and move all of our furniture and then leave paint on my couch and then carpet cleaners would come in and clean the carpet around our furniture and then come into my room and scare the crap out of my cat just to clean the area right in front of my bed. What happened to 24 hour notice and why did the have to come into my room at all. It would have been really nice if they had told us any of this was happening so I could have locked my door and moved my firniture so that they could have done an actual thorough job of cleaning and painting. They painted around hung up pictures.
My roommate read my previous comment and said that I was being too nice.
And the parking, once in the entire time that I lived here have I not been able to find a parking space. Stop scamming us into more money UNLESS you actually hire more competent staff. —MaijaMangrum
2007-10-06 13:59:49 Currently there are roughly 15 unrserved parking spots at UVD. All of the covered spots have been bought up. For anyone who doesn't live here considering it, this is the parking situation. Each apartment gets two uncovered parking spots. There are four people living in my room. We each have cars (for any University Village management, that is four cars total if you didn't count before assigning spots). One of us bought a covered spot, the others didn't. One of my roommates risked parking in a reserved parking space, and he was towed by the owner. We have a tandem parking spot, which is wonderful if you are best friends with your roommate or want to store your car, because the way it works is that one car is in front of the other and locked in place.
Anyway, there are a few visitor spots available if you are lucky, and if not I don't know what you should be doing, and neither does management. They told my roommate when he asked why he had to risk being towed every day that "YOU shouldn't have to risk it every day!" Of course they tell anyone who has there spot blocked to tow immediately. This costs $190 and a drive to the worst place in Dixon: Jed's Towing Yard. I am seriously wondering whether UVD gets some sort of commission for towing, because when you move in they give you a little card from Jed's with their phone number on it.
I also seriously recommend that everyone who is dissatisfied with their experience to closely and carefully examine their leases, their is a chance that it was never signed in the first place and you are on month to month. Of course Marie did not sign any of them on the same date as we did, so if you look at her signatures there is probably no date next to it. I don't know what this all means, but I am certainly going to seek advice from someone who does know. —ColinMcEnroe
2007-10-15 21:15:51 Of course the management gets a commission from Jed's. Oh and that emergency number that they claim to have is constantly busy at all hours of the day, every day. It's really effective when the fire alarm is going off at 2am or when you get locked out of your room and have to call a locksmith. —MaijaMangrum
2007-10-19 16:53:43 this is for sure the worst place to live, the office is not just unorganized and careless about fixing things, or the concerns of the residents, but they're a bunch of thieves who will charge you money for everything, they don't even care if it's illegal. they will probably and hopefully get sued soon. the place is filthy and their so called "roomate matching program" is a complete joke. basically, don't bother living here, it's overpriced and the management is terrible and there are tons of other better options here in davis. —danoub
2007-10-25 11:24:54 this is the most horrible, disturbing place i have ever lived. I felt duped and dumb for having been suckered into living here. I would rather be living in a hotel room. I cannot wait until this year is over, please, no one should ever live here —adamc328
2007-11-04 13:24:48 seems to have a lot of crime and destructive behavior. the most recent news letter says they are having problems with vandalism, noise complaints, police being called, and more. it is definitely annoying to hear people shouting angrily at each other calling each other out at 4 in the morning after they have had way to much to drink, but i don't know how the management thinks it is legal to start fines. now if there is a noise complaint your apartment gets fined 250 or so. it seems like they keep making up random rules and random fees and fines and always change their minds about stuff. like the pet messiness. people leave pet waste all over the complex and so it is pretty dirty. managements response is to threaten a 'pet rent' of 25 a month for all pet owners instead of just the ones that are making the messes. also, the fines for anyone who gets a noise complaint on them- neighbors that don't like each other are just going to start calling up the security people (they are an off site agency I think) to get their enemies fined. on the upside, it seems like the management might be TRYING to do stuff, even though they are just making up totally random rules that have no basis in our lease or anything. there is nothing that says they can make up random fees and fines. the parking also really sucks. i have been towed twice because even if i wanted to park in a covered spot, they are all taken and would cost 40 a month if they were available.
i would suggest allegre. people seem to like allegre enough, and it isn't as dingy as other davis places. it is probably as nice as this place only better because you don't have to deal with the car mechanic students breaking into things, breaking beer bottles, sifting through the dumpsters, and revving their engines all the time.
My rating: decent, but i have liked other places in davis better. i particularly like adobe but they charge a lot for security deposit stuff if you dont fill your form out well. —SaraS
2007-11-07 04:08:57 Its funny because I don't even live at the university village. When I look at this place, I think of it as a really nice place to live, only if all the troubles were removed. So I went ahead and e-mailed the corporate office with a long letter about how many things at the university village should be changed. If they send me an email back, i would definitely post in on here for everyone to read. Hopefully if they straighten out all the problems, i might be a perspective tenant all over again. Good luck to everyone that lives here. —heyitsvu
2007-11-10 15:58:31 I recently moved in and I can honestly say that things are getting better. The manager that was rude to everyone doesnt work here anymore. The girls in the office are hella nice to me. I use the tanning bed all the time. Someone said that it isn't really a tanning bed, but obviously you dont know what a tanning bed looks like. Someone else is complaining about the newletter, but you make no sense... you are mad about things that happen here, but you are also ragging on the solution they create! make up your mind. it is getting better, and the girls in the office are trying. Give them a break. If anyone of you had a solid job where you had to use customer service you would know it's hard. We had to deal with a horrible property manager and they had to WORK with her EVERYDAY!!! —Ktbard
2007-11-14 23:30:03 "ktbard", you are a hella dedicated UVD employee! I mean, do you seriously expect people to believe you live here when you say random things that make no sense and try to cut out EVERY slightly negative thing on the site? fair enough that you want the site to make the complex look good, but from the history of the page you go on here and edit everything out on a daily basis. it is like fashism. ten bucks says you're the blonde person in the office. I am going to try to post up a summary of the stuff thats got erased since you started messing with the page underneath this comment.
And by the way, I am sure like all the people on this and that live here have had customer service jobs and done really good at them. Most of the office girls aren't that BAD but they don't know what the hell they are doing and f*ck stuff up a lot. Probably as dumb as fish. (srry fishies)
When did the manager quit? (It wasn't before I got the pleasre of meeting her cheery face- gag) But for reals, is the new one changing stuff? —SaraS
2007-11-20 10:34:29 I have lived here for 2 years and I think this place is what you make of it, and most of you just make it seem bad. There are people here who like this place and actually really like the office staff who bend over backwards to help you out. Most of the people on here seem like whinny little bitches who have nothing better to do than sit on the computer and cry about how bad it is to live here. I say you should get your fat ass off the computer and stop eating your sorrows away and worry about something else. I would have to say don’t live here if you hate it so bad, get out of your lease and move on. This is my home and I really love it and I am happy to fork over the money to live here, trust me I have lived in worse places. On thing I find so petty is the girl who says she did not get enough oatmeal, is there nothing else she could cry about??? Fat girls and nerdy web geeks move on and stop bitching about how bad it is to live here, no one forced you to move in. It would be funny if they had a gun held to your head and said you had to though, maybe you would have the right to gripe. All in all I am happy here and glad this is my home! —Purduerunner82

Letter from AmeriKat - New York Times v Wall Street Journal
Yesterday morning while the rest of London was awakening to a beautiful summer morning, the AmeriKat was feverishly writing about money laundering and conflict of interests in the first of her final LPC exams. Battling the oncoming pilgrimage of English sun worshippers streaming their way to Hyde Park three hours later, she exhaustedly pawed her way back home to face another stack of revision that was eagerly awaiting her return. This particular stack is for a three-hour slog next Sunday which unfortunately means she will be unable to post her weekly Letter next week. (picture, left - the AmeriKat studying away for the final exams) The final death throws of her two year LPC slog will finish in 11 days, when the AmeriKat will return to her regularly scheduled programming. In the meantime, the AmeriKat has a little IP fodder for you to digest until then.
New York Times v Wall Street Journal
Last Thursday, The New York Times sent a cease and desist letter written by their attorney Richard Samson to the VP of Marketing of Dow Jones & Co,Jennifer Jehn, demanding that the WSJ stop using the slogan "Not Just Wall Street. Every Street". For readers who, unlike the AmeriKat, can not geekily name the legal entity that publishes a newspaper, Dow Jones & Co publishes the WSJ. They are in turn both owned by News Corporation and Rupert Murdoch (see an interview with Murdoch regarding the iPad).
By way of background, when Murdoch bought the WSJ in 2007, there was much comment over the purchase (see in particular this Wall Street Journal article here) which changed the power structure of the US newspaper industry, skewing ownership towards big business and therefore potentially their interests. For non-US readers, Murdoch's American media empire tends to include the more conservative media organizations like Fox News. Following the purchase of the WSJ, and particularly in the past few weeks, Murdoch has had The New York Times in his eye-line with a view, some say, of knocking them off their "perch". The streets of New York are now the PR battleground for the two newspapers, with the Times' letter being just the latest.
According to the Times' letter the WSJ used the slogan in a 26 May advertisement that ran in their print edition and also occasionally on their website as part of the promotion of their new Greater New York section. [To compare the two ads click here] The Times' CEO Janet Robinson stated yesterday that the Greater New York section had not had an impact on the Times' circulation. The Times' letter stated that the slogan is subject to a "trademark application pending with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office." The letter went on to state:
“While we are flattered by your admiration of our marketing efforts, please note that The Times owns the trademark rights in the slogan and your brazen appropriation of our intellectual property rights constitutes a willful infringement and dilution of The Times' rights under the Lanham Act."
On Friday, the WSJ sent a letter to the Times stating that it had "never intended to run the ad for long" and that "our lawyers tell us that we were within our rights to use the tag line to compare our two offerings." According to the WSJ, the letter also stated that the WSJ believed the Times' slogan was itself referring to the WSJ. The AmeriKat can see what they were trying to get at, but before the Wall Street Journal there was a street called Wall Street, which was what the slogan was referring to (although there probably is a bit of a wink behind slogan as well). Further, the phrase has entered a new parlance in the US after the financial crisis with politicians demanding Washington protect "Main Street interests, not just Wall Street's".
Jehn's letter also stated that the WSJ did not think that New Yorkers would be confused by the its use of the slogan. Unlike in the UK, under section 1114 of the Lanham Act US trade mark owners have to prove that the defendant's use of their mark confused consumers. In the Second Circuit, which includes New York, the test for confusion is that as laid down in the Polaroid Corp v Polarad Elecs. Corp (1961) case. If this case goes any further and the slogan is indeed valid and registered, the Times' would have to provide evidence for the following factors under this test:
1. The strength of their logo - [the AmeriKat is sceptical to the level of the logo's distinctiveness]
2. The degree of similarity between the two - [identical!]
3. The proximity of the products and services - [identical!]
4. The likelihood that the senior user will "bridge the gap" into the junior user's product service line - [if there even is a 'gap' it is very likely because they are competitors]
5. Evidence of actual confusion between the marks
6. Whether the WSJ adopted the mark in good faith - [well, if the Jehn letter is anything to go on...]
7. The quality of the WSJ's products - [The AmeriKat must state she is a faithful WSJ reader, so obviously cannot comment impartially]
8. The sophistication of the parties customers -[obviously incredibly sophisticated, see 7 above]
The Wall Street Journal's letter concluded with the following taunt which seems to show what was behind their use of the identical slogan:
"We think we've made our point. And to get a rise out of you is just a special bonus."
In this industry no one has the last word, so on Friday a Times spokesperson stated plainly:
"We don't think theft of intellectual property is a joke."
Of interest, a month ago, the Wall Street Journal ran another ad (seen here) which stated "Introducing Greater New York. Ahead of the times." Ahhh... competitors hiding behind the veil of trade mark generality!
The AmeriKat will keep her ears and whiskers apprised of any further developments in the newspaper battle heating up the already muggy New York summer (photo, right)!

An Angel in the Midst of ‘Dark Business’
Lauren Alfred
Abstract
Gender representations in late Victorian literature have been a widely debated topic with special attention to how women’s roles in these novels both perpetuate and challenge women’s class distinction in relation to men. However, few have analyzed the use of the Victorian ideal of a passive womanhood to shape and inform male gender roles.
My paper will address masculine identity of male characters through their relationships with the female characters in two adventure novels: The Sign of Four by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Stoker’s The Jewel of Seven Stars. Both novels highlight a growing discomfort with colonial interests abroad and feature a feminine character threatened by foreign powers. My definition of the ideal Victorian woman will begin with Martha Vicinus’ essay, “Victorian Masculinity and the Angel in the House” and her representation of the ‘angel in the house’ as a model of love, intuition, beauty, and virtue.
I will argue that this female role not only informs but also creates a masculine identity in the midst of Victorian England where a growing concern about a man’s ability to display the characteristics of strength, valor and gallantry sent many looking to the dark places on the map for true adventure. Through this argument, I hope to reveal the agency in a passive representation of female virtue that gives new significance to her role in Victorian society.

CH391L/S13/In vitro Selection of FNAs
From OpenWetWare
Jump to: navigation, search
Contents
Introduction
Although the vast majority of such ligand binding activities or enzymatic activities known are performed by proteins a secondary subset of these fall under the category of Functional nucleic acids (FNAs). FNAs are RNA, ssDNA, or XNA(nucleic acid analogues) that perform an activity such as binding or catalyzing a reaction. FNAs are grouped into three main categories Aptamers, Ribozymes, and Deoxyribozymes that are further classified into either natural or artificial depending on their origin. The exception being Deoxyribozymes as they have yet to be discovered in a living organism. Still, It was only in the 1980s that the 1st ribozyme was discovered that we started to study FNAs and have allowed for the discovery of new methods, such as the SELEX or In vitro selection process that we are expanding their potential both as tools for exploring biology and real world problem solving.
Note to self: mention RNA World
Functional Nucleic Acids
[1],[2],[3],[4][5]
Ribozymes
As previously mentioned ribozymes fall under the category of enzymes. Most of the ribozymes studied up until recently in living organism fall into 9 classes. Of these most perform some type scission and ligation reaction. In the case of in vitro selected ribozymes their function has been expanded to include . It was in such attempts that TPP ribozyme biobrick was made from both by combining an aptamer and a ribozyme for regulatory purposes. Most of other focus also on the regulation of an specific part, the self-modification of the part itself or both. Finally, one of the newest tools available to new tool are flexizymes that perform a self-aminoacylating reaction on an in vitro selected tRNA with a N70 region and that can add nonnatural amino acids by reprogramming genetic code[6].
Natural Ribozymes [7]
• Cleaving Ribozymes
1. 1 Self-cleaving i.e. The Hammerhead family (satellite RNA)
2. 2 Trans-cleaving i.e. RNase P
• Splicing Ribozymes
1. 3 Group I
2. 4 Group II
• Riboswitches
1. 5 Thermosensors
2. 6 sRNAs
3. 7 T-Boxes
4. 8 Metabolites
5. 9 Magnesium
Deoxyribozymes
An interesting discovery was made in the early 1990s, when for the first time DNA was shown that, besides being a genetic information storage molecule, it could also be both an enzyme and an aptamer. In the figure below you can observe 8-17, an RNA cleaving DNA enzyme. This molecule with 10-23 were the first to be described and tested in vivo as potential new therapies for cleaving the expressed mRNA of a virus. [5] Although proteins offer a larger diversity chemistries, depending on amino acids vs. both kinds of nucleic acids, as the latter ones depend on a limited array of nucleotides. Until know around a dozen distinct types of reactions. These include the following activities such as self-phosphorylation, RNA labeling, depurination,etc [8]
Aptamers and Riboswitches
The word aptamer from the latin aptus and translates as the past participle of to fit were originally identified by employing the protocol SELEX. Therefore the word Aptamer describes their basic function as RNA or single stranded DNA (ssDNA)that can bind a ligand by assuming an specific structure.[9, 10] Yet, it would take several years until the discovery of the first in vivo aptamer or riboswitch [11]. See the following page to get a better understanding of aptamers and riboswitches.
In vitro Selection of Functional Nucleic Acids
The image presented describes the basic method for performing a SELEX or In vivo selection experiment using single stranded nucleic acids (RNA,ssDNA,XNA) that are chemically synthesizedan have a constant region (CR) and a random region. Having the CR allows later amplification using PCR. The first step is subjecting the population of single stranded nucleic acids to specific selective condition in which function is possible. Then a (2) diverse subset of the population will perform the desired function and will be then (3) PCR amplified to make double stranded nucleic acids with the use of the CR introduced previously. The previous step is necessary for Therefore the selection can continue to a following round, while at the same time a sample is obtained and can be sequenced. [12]
New Methods that assit In vitro selections
Computational Methods
• Mfold - originally developed as a GUI or graphical user interface server for the prediction of the secondary structure of single stranded nucleic acids. The core algorithm predicts structures based on minimum free energies necessary to fold a structure. This algorithm can be used initially as a step to predict possible secondary structures of active sequences [13].
FRET
• Fluorescent analogues
8-17 fluorescent probe and quencher pair that allows measuring activity of the population of molecules. This has been also dome for ribozymes.citeLi
Next Generation Sequencing
Take the PCR amplified molecules at every round and allows to trace the in vitro selection portion of the population that performed the desired activity.

Introduction
The Endy lab has a Perkin Elmer Victor3 plate reader with 2 dispenser pumps. If you are interested in trying our plate reader or finding out more about it, contact Barry. The machine can make the following classes of measurement -
• Time-resolved fluorometry
• Fluorometry
• Photometry
• Luminometry
• Fluorescence polarization
• LANCE
We have a variety of filters to be used with these measurements, they are described here. If you haven't used the machine before, have a look at this overview of using the plate reader. If you have used this machine or similar machines, have a look at some of the usage notes and data analysis pages listed below. All contributions are welcome.

A bit about Marden, Orison Swett ...
Orison Swett Marden, founder of Success Magazine, is also considered to be the founder of the modern success movement in America. He certainly bridged the gap between the old, narrow notions of success and the new, more comprehensive models made popular by best-selling authors such as Napoleon Hill, Clement Stone, Dale Carnegie, Og Mandino, Earl Nightingale, Norman Vincent Peale, and today's authors Stephen R.Covey, Anthony Robbins, and Brian Tracy.

SoundyThingie [iPad, oF, Mac, Windows]
Created by by Hansi RaberSoundyThingie is an iPad application that translates drawn lines into sound. The lines can be modified in a variety of ways including the vertical position of a line which determines it’s pitch, lines at the top of the screen sound high, lines at the bottom sound low and drawing speed determines volume. The faster you draw, the louder a line will be. In addition, there are a number of buttons to press and knobs to turn to influence individual sounds and you can move the lines or connect them together.
Soundythingie began life as “controlling other properties” example provided by Zach Lieberman during the OpenFrameworks Workshop at Fabrica. Hansi also created a Windows and Mac version of Soundythingie which are available for download at Linien Musik (see movie below). If you wish to have a look at the code, you can also download the source here.

AFRICA/GUINEA BISSAU - INFO: EVANGELISATION
Rome (Fides Service) – Evangelisation in Guinea Bissau which in 1998 marked 500 years took place in four or five laps. The first began with the arrival in Guinea of Portuguese Europeans in 1446, and ended with the creation of the diocese of Cape Verde in 1533, 1000 km away, of which Guinea was a part. Protagonists were a few laymen, mostly sailors and a few missionaries.
The second lap goes from the creation of Cape Verde diocese to 1940 when Guinea separated from the archipelago. This gave rise to commitment for evangelisation, still with only a few people: some diocesan priests, various religious orders, Jesuits Franciscan, Carmelites etc. The bishop was 1000 km away and in all these centuries only 7 bishops visited Guinea.
The third lap of evangelisation in Guinea Bissau, 1940 to 1977, after separation from Cape Verde and when it depended directly on Rome, was a Mission sui iuris which, in 1955 was elevated to the rank of Apostolic prefecture. In this period there were already foreign priests, PIME missionaries, Italian Sisters, foreign priests. This was a period in which, for the first time, missions began to work in education, health care and social development. At that time the churches had neither hospitals or schools, with the sui iuris mission more social activity started.
The final lap was from the creation of the diocese in 1977 to today, a period of particular Church, valorisation of local pastoral workers; a stage of continuation and development of social activity, creation of common pastoral lines.
In the last 20 years the Church has earned moral and social prestige: particularly in the fields of education, health care it enjoys considerable social prestige.
Data: area 36,125 sq. km; population 1.2 million; Catholics 142,000; dioceses 2, parishes 24, priests 17 secular; 61 religious; brothers 11; Sisters 135; lay missionaries 10; catechists 825 Lm (Fides Service 15/9/2003 EM lines 30 Words: 345)

How to Define a Lithostratigraphic Unit
Lithostratigraphy is concerned with the organization of rock strata into units based on their lithology. Other categories of geological units, not dealt with here, include biostratigraphic, chronostratigraphic, sequence stratigraphic, magnetostratigraphic and igneous geochemical units. Before geologists define new lithostratigraphic units, they should first become familiar with the principles involved. These are explained in two references:
• Salvador, A 1994, International Stratigraphic Guide: A guide to stratigraphic classification, terminology, and procedure. 2nd edition. International Union of Geological Sciences and the Geological Society of America, Boulder, Colorado.
• Staines, HRE 1985, 'Field Geologist's Guide to Lithostratigraphic Nomenclature in Australia', Australian Journal of Earth Sciences, vol.32, pp. 83-106.
The second reference contains notes on how some Australian practices differ from the International Stratigraphic Guide (ISG), and these take precedence wherever the two differ.
How to define a unit
Once a new unit has been decided on, the following steps need to be taken to define it:
1. An Australian stratigraphic type section or locality must be set up. The type section is at the heart of the definition, and is so important that a separate page is devoted to it.
2. A name has to be chosen for the unit. This must consist of a geographic name plus either the dominant lithology (e.g. Sandstone) or a rank term (Formation, Group, Member, etc.). A geographic name cannot be used for more than one unit in the same (or an adjacent) state or territory. In non-adjacent states/territories, the same geographic name may be used if the ages and lithologies of the units are sufficiently different so as to cause no confusion. Please read the procedure for checking the availability and reservation of stratigraphic unit names on the availability of a name, and reserving it for your use.
3. Complete a stratigraphic unit definition form and use the headings provided as a guide to help you describe the unit as well as possible. Not all headings will apply to every unit (e.g. Thickness and Depositional Environment will not apply to a granite). Be sure to give the latitude and longitude of the type section and the locality from which the name was derived. The information on Depositional Environment, Structural Attitude and Geomorphic Expression is not essential to the definition, but is desirable if known.
4. The definition must be approved before publication. The completed stratrigraphic unit definition form should be submitted by mail or email to the Stratigraphy Subcommission for the State or Territory in which the type section or locality of the unit occurs. Once the definition is approved, it is lodged by the Convener of the Subcommission with the Central Register of the Stratigraphic Index, where it is available for general reference.
5. Publication of the definition is the essential last step, because reservation of a name and getting approval for the definition of a unit by themselves give no standing to that unit. Priority and standing are established only by publishing in a recognised scientific or technical publication. Definitions should be published, if possible, in the form approved by the State or Territory Stratigraphic Names Subcommittee, and preferably in the same publication in which the name of the unit is first used.

Hickey Bridge

Hickey Bridge in GTA IV, looking towards Alderney from Algonquin.
The Hickey Bridge is a small bridge in Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV connecting Varsity Heights in Algonquin with Leftwood in Alderney. Hickey Bridge is Liberty City's second shortest island crossing; second to Leaper's Bridge.
The bridge is a continuation of Topaz Street in Algonquin and can also be accessed from exit ramps from the Union Drive West. At the Alderney end, the bridge leads straight into the Plumbers Skyway.
The Hickey Bridge is in a location relative to the George Washington Bridge between New York and New Jersey, although the Hickey Bridge does not bear any resemblance to the George Washington Bridge. The bridge bears a loose similarity to the Roosevelt Island Bridge, however the Hickey Bridge does not appear to be a lift bridge.
The name of the bridge implies that it's used as a potential make-out spot for couples.

And back we go
• Failure of previous two ligation efforts prompted rethinking of ligation strategy. Will attempt a one-step triple ligation that will link phsABC to B0015 and insert them both into a standard single-resistance iGEM background. phsABC will be digested with EcoRI and SpeI, B0015 with XbaI and PstI, and pSB1C3 with EcoRI and PstI, allowing for them all to be ligated together.
Prep work
• Needed more phsABC, so ran five PCR reactions to amplify it from plasmid pSB74. Reaction mixture contents were the same as the DMSO variant used on 6/30 as was the thermocycler protocol (phs50). The results were then run on a gel
Gel of PCR amplified phsABC Extreme right lane:1 kb ladder, all other lanes PCR reaction mixtures and their spillover
• Needed chloramphenicol plates for pSB1C3-based constructs, so mixed 350 μL of 50 μg/μL chloramphenicol with an autoclaved solution of 7.5 g agar and 12.5 g LB in 500 mL H2O and poured plates.
Digestions
• Ran all three digestion reactions for 30 minutes at 37 °C before heat killing for 20 minutes at 80 °C. Digestion mixtures had the following components:

For a fairly comprehensive treatment, see William Bassett 1595??-1667
Immigrated in 1621 on the Fortune. He lived first at Plymouth before removing to Duxbury by 1637 and Bridgewater by 1656. The inventory of his estate indicates he was a blacksmith.
He appears on lists of Freeman in 1633 and 1637 at Plymouth, in 1639 at Duxbury, and in a list at Bridgewater probably from 1658. [3]
In the 1623 Plymouth land division "William Bassite" received two acres as a passenger on the Fortune in 1621. [4] The 1627 Plymouth division of cattle included William Basset, Elizabeth Basset, William Basset Jr. and Elizabeth Basset Jr. [5]
On 3 June 1652 William Bassett of Duxbury gave to "his son-in-law Leiftenant Perigrine White" forty acres of upland with the meadow adjoining. [6] On 16 June 1656 "William Bassett Senior of Duxburrow now living at Bridgewater" made a deed of gift of his Marshfield lands to his "two sons there living viz: Perigrine White and Nathaniell Bassett." [7]
On 3 April 1667 William Bassett Senior made a nuncupative will, bequeathing the movables to his wife, and the house and land to her during her life, after which it was to go to his son William's son, and bequeathing his tools to his son Joseph, and "being demanded about his books which he formerly took care about, answered he could not now do it." His inventory was taken 12 May 1667 and totalled £123 2s. 6d. (which included no land, but did include his blacksmith's tools and more than twenty books). On 5 June 1667 letters of administration were granted to William Bassett Jr. on the estate of William Bassett Sr. deceased. Two years later, "William Bassett of Sandwich ... the eldest son and heir of William Bassett sometimes inhabitant of ... Bridgewater ... now deceased" confirmed on 2 June 1669 to "Joseph Bassett of Bridgewater my youngest brother" land in Bridgewater granted him by his father in his lifetime but not legally confirmed.[8]
Wives and Parents
William was married before the 1623 land division to a woman named Elizabeth (as listed in the 1627 cattle division) who most likely came on the Fortune as well, as his wife or as a single woman.
William married second before 12 December 1664 Mary (Tilden) Lapham, daughter of Nathaniel Tilden and widow of Thomas Lapham.
"In 1611 a William Bassett, formerly of Sandwich in England, widower of Cecily Light, was twice betrothed at Leiden in Holland. His first bride-to-be died, but he succeeded the second time. Some have held that this was the man who came to Plymouth, but this seems unlikely given the ten-year gap before the arrival in Plymouth in 1621, and the lack of evidence for children of the Plymouth man born before that date, assuming that he had been married at least twice before. It is also possible that the William Bassett of Leiden in 1611 was the father of the immigrant to Plymouth in 1621, but there is no evidence directly favoring this hypothesis. (See discussion in Stratton 242-43.)"S1
Candidate parents given by various theories:
Note that Great Migration Begins says that nothing is known about his origins. Further, quoting the article cited above: "He may conceivably have been a son of the Pilgrim William Bassett of Leyden, Holland, but Robert Charles Anderson in The Great Migration Begins (page 127[-130]) says there’s no evidence." The parents listed here are speculative.

The Fortune (1621)
The Fortune, the second ship to arrive at Plymouth, was sent by the Merchant Adventurers, the same group that financed the Mayflower. It arrived unexpectedly and without significant supplies, thus further stressing the colony. Upon return to England, the Fortune was carrying £500 of cargo to pay off the Pilgrims' debt, but it was captured by the French en route.
Sailed: 9 Aug 1621 from London, England under Master Thomas Barton
Arrived: 9 Nov 1621 at Plymouth, Massachusetts, shortly after the first Thanksgiving

Contents
Background
The term Roku can refer to any device produced by Roku Labs. These devices seem to play well with Firefly , Firefly-equipped Linkstations and other hacked NAS's. Below are some tips and tricks that may provide a more positive experience for Roku & Linkstation users.
Hardware/Software Requirements
• Any Roku soundbridge device (M500, M1000, M1001, M2000)
• Any Linkstation w/ OpenLink or FreeLink installed on it
• A wired or wireless (b or g standard) network - some Roku devices are WEP & WPA compatible
• regular computer w/ web browser & terminal/command line interface program
Directory setup
On the share/data partition (hda3 usually) of your Linkstation, it is a good idea to set up some sort of directory structure for organizing your music files. Here is one possible example:
/share/freelinktunes/e_Music
/share/freelinktunes/i_Tunes
/share/freelinktunes/hpodderdownloads
/share/freelinktunes/mediarippertunes
/share/freelinktunes/lossless
/share/freelinktunes/internet_streams
Managing these files is easy if you have flexible access to them with Samba or NFS, so one can modify ownership and permissions to these directory with chown and/or chmod.
Firefly/mt-daapd Tweaks
Making Firefly's web interface configuration page "configurable"
If you notice that your Configuration page on the web interface (available by web browser at <linkstation-ip>:3689/config.html) won't allow you to make changes, then you may need to adjust permissions on the configuration file. The very first entry on the Configuration page lists the location of this file, usually at /etc/mt-daapd.conf . To make the web configuration work, cd to the directory where this configuration file is and modify the permissions of the file:
cd /etc
chown nobody mt-daapd.conf
chmod 600 mt-daapd.conf
Reload the web Configuration page and it should work now. This is a method suggested by an expert at Firefly Forums. If you have concerns about security, you may want to read this thread for details on keeping it secure.
Automatically refresh the database
Also on the Configuration page, there is an option for periodic updating of the database. To make your Firefly server update every hour, go to the Database area on the Configuration page, choose or enter the following:
• Scan Type 0 - Normal,
• Rescan Interval 3600 (seconds, ie. 1 hour),
• Always Scan Yes.
Add to Recognized File Extensions
Also on the Configuration page, there is an option for getting Firefly to scan for more types of files. Normally it will only scan for .mp3 and a few others. In the section Music Files, you can add other types, such as .url files (for internet/stream play lists).
If you want to enable scanning for .url internet playlist files for instance, go to the section
• Music Files, and in Extentions add in
• .url so that the field looks like
.mp3,.m4a,.m4p,.url
• and press Save. Don't forget to restart Firefly for this change to take effect.
See Firefly's documentation for more details on types of files supported.
Restart Firefly from the command line
You may have to restart your mt-daapd server from the command line for some of these configuration changes to take effect.
/etc/init.d/mt-daapd restart
It takes a minute or so for it to come on line after a (re)start.
Playlists
Static Playlists
Smart Playlists
URL/Internet/Stream Playlists
Although Roku's firmware has built-in presets, these can be cumbersome to use, as they require the user to Change Configuration. Some people find it easier to put the internet/radio streams in a .url file and access them through the Roku's Playlist feature - it is much faster that way. To create and use an internet stream playlist for Firefly and Roku, do the following:
1. Get the name, bit rate and URL of a stream that you want to listen to through your Roku SB. For example: Public Radio WNYC-AM from New York City, at 32 kilobit per second, with URL ,http://wnycam.streamguys.com/ (no link arrow, though).
2. Start your favorite editor, e.g. nano, and create a file called (again, for example): nano wnyc-nypr.url.
3. Enter the following information on one line, in the format and order of <bit rate in kbps>,<desired display title>,<URL> . For example it would look like the following, all on one line:32,WNYC-AM Public Radio,http://wnycam.streamguys.com/ (no link arrow, though)
4. Save it to a directory for streams, such as /share/freelinktunes/internet_streams, so they are easy to find/organize/edit.
5. Add as many as you like. They are easier and faster to access from your own Playlist than they are from the Presets. In fact, you may want to copy the presets that you like to your own internet_streams directory.
6. In Firefly's Configuration page, add .url as a recognized extension.
7. In Firefly's Smart Playlist page, create a smart playlist called Internet Radio Stations with criteria description = "Playlist URL"
8. Update Firefly's database.
When you turn on your Roku and go to Playlists, you should see Internet Radio Stations, and when you select it, you should see WNYC-AM Public Radio. Once you have it working, create as many as you want.
Hpodder
Hpodder is a podcatcher that is available as a Debian package, so it is a natural choice for those running Freelink. At the time this article was written, it is available in testing and instable, so remember to (temporarily) adjust your /etc/apt/sources.list as needed - that is, you must have either the testing or unstable branch of Debian enabled.
Once you install hpodder, check its man page. It gives details on configuring it and the first run of hpodder.
You will have to declare a download directory for hpodder (like /share/freelinktunes/hpodderdownloads) , as listed above in Directory setup.
One nice implementation would be to run hpodder as a daily or periodic cron job.
Customizing the Roku
CAUTION: Customizing your Roku, like any device, could void its warranty or turn it into a Brick, or in the case of a M500/M1000/M1001/M2000, a Baton, or an Expensive Aluminum Pipe. Proceed at your own risk. See your Roku manual for details.
It is relatively easy to gain access to a Roku M1001, for instance, via telnet at your Roku's own IP address, through port 4444. A list of command available is given below. :
telnet <roku IP address> 4444
Trying <roku IP address>...
Connected to <roku IP address>.
Escape character is '^]'.
Welcome to the SoundBridge Shell version 2.7.38 Release
Type '?' for help or 'help <command>' for help on <command>.
SoundBridge> ?
Valid commands are:
? - displays this list
help - provides help on a command
clear - clears the terminal window
stty - sets shell tty parameters
consoleprint - sets consoleprint on or off
version - prints out the software version
exit - exits the shell
cycles - displays a count of processor cycles
uptime - reports system uptime
reboot - reboots the system
ps - lists threads
ifconfig - lists network interface configurations
ping - pings an ip address
ipset - sets up a manual config
mfg - performs mfg tests
sketch - draw on the display
irman - capture, monitor or send IR commands
memstat - prints out memory statistics
romcheck - print rom sizes
log - dump the persistent log
logclear - clear the log
logadd - add string to log
attract - attract eyeballs
irwait - wait for a specific IR command
displaytype - print type of currently connected DISplay
time - displays the current time
clearsettings - clears CascadeSettings and reboots
softwareupgrade - perform software upgrades from network or local storage
srbmod - modify srb for oem test
rcp - enter the RCP shell
Many accounts of hacking Roku devices can be found on the web:

2 More Chicago Public Students Shot
Another story that could've been titled "what happened here". The only mystery here is why. From Channel 2...
Patrice Brown was an enthusiastic young woman of deep faith, but instead of planning her future, her mother and grandmother are now planning her funeral – she was 17-years-old.
“My daughter was a senior at Fenger Christian High School, we were talking about her going away to college,” said Brown’s mother Patricia Brown.
Investigators say Brown and her best friend 18-year-old Taniya Ross were walking near 101st and State Streets in the Roseland neighborhood at around 10:30 p.m. Friday when they walked past two young men. Moments later, the paramedics say they reported feeling the sting of bullets and realized they had been shot – Brown in the neck and Ross in the arm.
...
Brown is at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn where doctors say she is brain dead.
Taniya Ross is expected to recover, relatives say she was lucky. The bullet that struck her traveled from her arm to her lung causing it to collapse.
...
Area 2 investigators say the young women didn’t have any kind of exchange with the two gunmen and did not even know them. The families say violence in the far south side neighborhood is an epidemic and they want that to change.
While not outside of the range of possibility, it's hard for me to believe that these girls were shot by two young men for no logical reason. Especially if there were no "words" exchanged between the young men and women. And especially if these ladies didn't know these guys. I hope there's an update.

Heroes of Newerth (HoN) from S2Games is a DOTA like game that like all of their games supported GNU/Linux.
Sadly the GNU/Linux client was always a bit behind the Windows one, but now after the release of patch 2.6.22 they are finally in par.
I’m heavily addicted to HoN and for me the GNU/Linux client was always stable as a rock, while the Windows users crashed all the time – I kept playing.
Official Announcement :
Hi everyone,
We are proud to announce a MAJOR patch for our Mac & Linux game clients. For a while now, as our Windows client received features and updates, our Mac and Linux clients have been slowly falling behind. While we always strive to make sure Mac and Linux stay updated and compatible with the latest patches, we haven’t always been able to keep them feeling as feature-complete and polished as our Windows client.
Maintaining separate clients is a LOT of work – it really requires some dedicated attention (mostly from programming) to keep things running in top shape. Through the hustle and bustle of developing the game as a whole, it’s easy, if not paying proper attention, for small bugs to crop up here and there, building up over time.
A few months ago we filled a key programming position of a dedicated Mac + Linux programmer (along with fleshing out our QA staff) to give these clients the attention and time they deserve, and we couldn’t be happier with the results (up to DOUBLE the performance in some cases on Mac). We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to not only fix up the current client, but to make sure it is among the top performing native games for both Mac and Linux operating systems (and certainly the best client in the genre). This upcoming patch not only brings them up to speed, but makes sure they look and feel great, and have all the latest features that the Windows client has.
S2 has always proudly supported Mac and Linux for our games, even when sometimes it didn’t seem economically feasible. While some other companies may choose to take the “easy” route and drop support of these clients, we simply couldn’t accept that, we were determined to redouble our efforts.
Highlights contained in this patch:
• VASTLY improved performance and stability (up to 2x the performance of the current retail client)
• Awesomium Integration (HoN TV, guides, player ladder ,etc)
• Fancy new updater (similar to the one released recently for the Windows client – generally improves reliability of updating)
• New installer (does away with the disk-image method that was causing some update issues on Mac)
• Many miscellaneous bug fixes and stability improvements (fixed the most common causes of crashes, skybox reflections now work, and lots of other stuff)
• Retina display support
Some of the updates here were incompatible with Mac OS X 10.4, and as such, we have dropped support of it. Keep in mind this is just the mac/linux highlights of the upcoming patch, there’s other goodies that’ll equally affect PC + Mac/Linux.
We’re excited to bring you these updates and to continue giving these clients the love and attention they deserve to continue running at top notch. If you have any Mac or Linux gamer friends, now is the time to get them hooked on HoN!
If you still haven’t tried this game, even after it went free-2-play - PLEASE DON’T !
This game is heavily addictive and will consume your life.
You have been warned !
Saga Kingdoms is a revolutionary real time MMORTS, focusing on questing and empire building.
They say it’s what Star Craft 2 could have been (in terms of gameplay).
It will be free to play (as it seems from the rewards), but you can pay for additional content.
Currently the project managed to get ~$8,600 of the $100k goal ,with 29 days to go.
From past experiences it’s very hard to get the funds for “free to play” games and I personally doubt that this project will reach it’s goal (although there is always hope).
SAGA was designed to show what is possible in an RTS when it is made for the players and not by the big studios who may be too scared to try something new. We asked ourselves questions such as, What if the world never reset? What if we could figure out how to balance not just two or three factions but six? and most importantly, What if every play session enhanced your virtual empire and not just a rating?
Most RTS games we’ve ever played focus on player vs. player combat. This is understandable because creating 10 maps and relying on players to provide variety is much less time consuming than creating 600 quests. SAGA, however, embraces that players love a rich story and while PvP has its place and is certainly not an afterthought in our design, we felt it was a lot more fun going on quests not just alone but with groups of friends.
In Saga Kingdoms each player will control a capital city that will serve as the seat of their power, however we have greatly expanded on this concept by giving each player a full Island as a starting point. In addition we plan to allow players to take over both resources and outposts on the main continent as their empire expands.
Similar to SAGA, Saga Kingdoms will feature hundreds of quests to test your skill. While some quests do have prerequisites that you must best, you can always go back and do old favorites for loot and XP.
The power of our new engine means we can create much grander quests that can be enjoyed by large groups of friends.These epic battles will be much more difficult but we promise the rewards will be worth it.
Players will be able to choose from one of six factions, each with a unique look and play style.
Primary Race: Elves
The oldest of the races, the elves have long ago learned to live in harmony with Gaia – the spirit of the world itself. Through their allegiance and honor of Her, they have learned to master Her powers, and now control the most destructive forces of Nature. As warriors, they possess terrific skill, and have made strange allies in some of the oldest creatures on Gaia, including treants and elementals.
Primary Race: Orcs and Ogres
The orcs and ogres live for war. They have long pursued it, and have fashioned their living around it. They have traded refinement for mass, and like a blunt instrument, will bludgeon the life out of their enemies. Their spells and abilities are targeted inward, purposed with instilling their warriors with greater power in combat. Individually, their warriors are skillful, en masse: terrifying.
Primary Race: Giants and Humans
Noble, powerful and indomitable – the forces of Light are truly magnificent to behold. Their ancient civilization has reached a glorious age of wisdom and refinement, and their armies have long ago mastered the art of war. They are a balanced and formidable force, able to draw on heavily armored soldiers and powerful magic alike to crush their enemies into submission.
Primary Race: Dwarves
Dwarves are particularly skilled in the arts of mechanical engineering. Hidden deep in their mountain hideaways, they have created terrible machines of war and destruction. In all their tinkering though, they have lost the art of magic and must rely on their own ingenuity and cunning.
Primary Race: Dark Elves
The dark elves are the masters of magic. They have studied many dark arts and have mastered the secrets of daemonology, allowing them to conjure up horrible beasts. By tapping into the powers of the Underworld, they have possession of mighty spells, with which they terrorize their enemies.
Primary Race: Undead
When the god of the Undead was all but defeated he called upon his powers to bring to power the newest of the factions to gain a foothold on Gaia. Adept casters, the undead use their powers of decay to manipulate the course of battle and weaken their foes while gargantuan undead abominations rush forth to devour their prey.
We love variety in most RTS games. Trying to find the perfect balance of troops is an integral part of the strategy. As difficult as it was to balance 6 factions, that task was nothing compared to trying to create over 100 distinct troop types. Saga Kingdoms will bring back many of the old favorites and will commit to creating many more in upcoming free content expansions.
Saga Kingdoms is a Free-To-Play Collectible game
Collecting troops was one of the best received and unique features of SAGA. Booster packs which can now be purchased for gold farmed in game will provide a random assortment of troops. Nothing beats the excitement of ripping open a new pack or the exhilaration of finding a dragon as your rare card.
Every aspect of your empire can grow in power. This means that every play session will reward you with some type of progress.
• Buildings will be constructed, which will provide additional benefits.
• Research will reward you with new abilities and benefits.
• All troops will gain experience during combat, making them more powerful.
• Magic items will be found during quests and crafted in your city.
• Every quest completed and booster purchased gives the possibility of new and exciting troops to enhance your army.
• Even logging in for just a few seconds and collecting resources brings you closer to purchasing that next building upgrade or booster pack.
Each unit in your army will be led by a hero as detailed as any character in an MMO. Heroes can gain levels, learn spells and possess a range of abilities and bonuses that they confer to the unit they lead.
We’re also expanding the number of available heroes slightly from the dozen available in SAGA to many hundreds. (OK maybe more than slightly)
Not only will be we able to create items with a larger variety of abilities, but Saga Kingdoms will feature many thousands more magic items since Heroes can equip armor in multiple slots in addition to weapons and trinkets, rather than the limited 2 slots in SAGA.
Since Units in Saga Kingdoms are built around heroes not troop types, you will have much more freedom when designing your units. Each troop type will possess a special ability, allowing you to have much finer control over the type of army you field. For example, if halberdiers grant increased damage to the whole unit and swordsmen grant increased armor, a unit consisting of 15 halberdiers and 5 swordsmen will play very differently than one with 15 swordsmen and 5 halberdiers. Adding a hero who brings its own set of unit enhancements means an unlimited set of strategies.
Using the Unity engine means being able to do battle on a PC, Mac, or even using Linux. While the client will be available for all of these platforms, developing in Unity means that when you’re at work or school and can’t resist checking your empire or doing a quick quest, Saga Kingdoms will also be playable in a browser. In addition, developing in Unity opens the possibility for a mobile version.
We have been working on Saga Kingdoms for over a year. Some of our players have even had a chance to try the Alpha version.
We can field troops, move them around, and cause havoc to our enemies as well as build a city. The funds raised on Kickstarter will help us port the remaining SAGA features, finish our quest design tools and make the necessary changes to magic items and heroes to bring Saga Kingdoms to the next level.
As you know Valve is bringing Steam and Source to GNU/Linux.
Most of you probably think about Source as only a game engine – but Chris Smith is actually working on a web series called “Aura” that is made with Source SDK and other tools such as Faceposer - which is used for the lip syncing onto character models, Garry’s mod – for backgrounds and Sony Vegas for editing.
Chris Smith told me he wanted to be a director and that he is working on the series called “Aura” for 6 months now, and in my opinion the directing part of this trailer is very well made (although the graphics could be better – but Chris said he will improve ).
Usually I don’t post about series and movies, but this time I wanted to do something different as it is related to GNU/Linux in some way.
Other GNU/Linux gaming websites have noticed that AirBuccaneers HD which uses Unity, will have a GNU/Linux client.
Luckily AirBuccaneers HDis included at the GamersGate Indiefort Bundle which I’ve posted about earlier.
AirBuccaneers HD Alpha – Loot & Booty Pack includes:
• AirBuccaneers HD Game Account with:
o All the features
o Access to Beta & all later development builds
o Access to the finished game
• Bunch of Attachments for your character:
o Wise Owl that will sit on your character’s shoulder
o Raven that will sit on your character’s shoulder
o A shield that will hang on your character’s back
There are many other GNU/Linux gamers at this bundle which currently available for GNU/Linux download : Telepath RPG: Servants of God (Adobe Air), 3079 (Java), Survivors of Ragnarök (Java), Will Fight for Food (native) and Devil WhiskeyBlue Libra – other GNU/Linux gamers might also come later.
So it’s a great opportunity to get those wonderful games at such a low price.
My friends at GamingonLinux already posted about it, but in case you missed it I want to let you know that Winter Wolves, the company that specializes on visual novels is running a bundle on groupees, you can get 6 (and even 7) games – depends on how much you choose to donate.
Because the games use the cross platform Ren’py engine they all have a GNU/Linux client.
The games are :
Planet Stronghold , Heileen 1 and Heileen 2 , Bionic Heart , Vera Blanc: Full Moon , Always Remember Me and if we pass the 1000 sales goal then we also get Spirited Heart !
Please note that some games have a minimum donation sum to download them.
25% of all donations go to the Rainforest Alliance !
So what are you waiting for ?! get the bundle here !
In this bundle all games appear for the 1st time on GNU/Linux !
We all wondered why this game never had a GNU/Linux client although it supported MacOS and used OpenGL….so it finally comes to GNU/Linux – the excellent hack-n-slash game Torchlight is in this bundle !
The games :
Torchlight
Runic Games
In this addicting fantasy action RPG, take on the role of a lone hero who uses brawn and magic to hack and slash their way through intense crowds of baddies while collecting awesome gear, loot, and skills. Set in the mining town of Torchlight, the hero sets out to explore dungeons and labyrinths to uncover a dark tale surrounding a mystical mineral known as Ember.
Rochard
Recoil Games
Suit up as John Rochard, the toughest man and miner in the galaxy. In this critically acclaimed side-scrolling sci-fi platformer, John Rochard must master the use of gravity, weight, and matter to overcome various obstacles and puzzles in his quest against an intergalactic archaeological conspiracy.
Rochard is also the premiere title to debut the Unity game engine on Linux! Unity powers a number of amazing titles and their presence on Linux can only broaden the horizons for cross-platform gaming everywhere.
Shatter
Sidhe
Shatter is a fresh take on brick-breakers, adding new physics-based concepts to alter the trajectory of every ball in play. Combined with an amazing soundtrack by electronic musician Module and intense boss battles, Shatter combines fantastic music with tight gameplay and frantic action.
Space Pirates and Zombies
MinMax Games
Explore the stars, outfit your own ships, and engage in intense combat in this top down space shooter by MinMax Games. Created by a two-man team, Space Pirates and Zombies is reminiscent of classic top down shooters then combined with modern elements like physics-based combat and randomly generated galaxies. Also, zombies.
Vessel
Strange Loop Games
In this liquid-manipulating puzzle platformer by Strange Loop Games, take on the role of Arkwright, the inventor of liquid-comprised automatons called Fluros, originally used throughout the world to make life easier for all. When the Fluros start causing random chaos, it’s up to Arkwright to step up and take command of his invention gone awry. Vessel is built upon an optimized “liquid simulation” featuring flowing water, scalding lava, steam, and more, making each puzzle a unique experience.
*Please note that the finishing touches for Vessel’s Mac and Linux debut are still being completed and should be ready in 24-72 hours. Additionally, Vessel does not have an external soundtrack like the other five games.
Dustforce
Hitbox Team
The world has been corrupted with dust and filth, and it’s up to a handful of acrobatic janitors to win the war on grime. In this frenetic, award-winning platformer by Hitbox Team, sweep your way through over fifty levels of wall rebounding, double jumping endurance runs where finesse matters as much as dust destruction. Vault your brooms even higher as you share and view replays online to compete for the ultimate speed runs, and watch as your dustpan runneth over when you build your own worlds and share them online with the included map editor.
Dustforce is the winner of the $100,000 Grand Prize at the Third Independent Game Developers Competition at the 2010 Game Developers Conference Online.
Six mind-blowing games. Humble Indie Bundle 6 features six fantastic titles and five breathtaking soundtracks. Name your price and dive into the critically acclaimed action-RPG Torchlight; the rugged sci-fi action platformer Rochard; physics-based brick breaker Shatter; top down space combat sim Space Pirates and Zombies; and steampunk puzzle platformer Vessel. Customers who beat the average price will also get the incredible frantic acrobatic platformer, Dustforce!
Pay what you want. If you bought all this awesomeness separately, it would cost upwards of $86. But we’re letting you set the price!
Play on Windows, Mac*, and Linux* (system requirements here). Note that this is the debut for all of the Linux versions of the games. Please be patient while the developers fix any 1.0 bugs as quickly as they can, and don’t hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues. *Please note that the finishing touches for Vessel’s Mac and Linux debut are still being completed and should be ready in 24-72 hours.
Support vital charities. Choose how your purchase is divided: between the developers, the Child’s Play Charity, or the Electronic Frontier Foundation. And if you like this promotion, a tip to Humble Bundle would be greatly appreciated!
So what are you waiting for ?! GO and BUY it !
LGP reports that Majesty Gold is now available on Gameolith.
Majesty is a unique sim putting you in the crushed velvet hotseat of your own kingdom. With an epic quest before you, you make the decisions of where to build your settlement`s guilds and temples. Each one has a mind of its own and must be enticed to meet your goals, via rewards you offer and spells you cast.
Meanwhile you must make sure that your treasury stays flush with cash to support these and other outlays necessary to maintain a thriving medieval town. The fact that you are being barraged by attacks from mythical beasts and fantastic creatures doesn`t make your job any easier.
GamersGate runs a new IndieFort Bundle which includes many GNU/Linux games.

LGN :
Hello !
I want to buy an indie game bundle from here .
And I know for sure that some of the games in the bundle do have a native Linux clients elsewhere (be it via their websites or Desura or other).
Can you also provide Linux versions of those games at GamersGate ?
Because a am a Linux gamer (and so are my readers) and have no interest in the Windows versions of the games.
I am talking about games like : 3079, Tiny and Big: Grandpa’s Leftovers, Telepath RPG: Servants of God, Survivors of Ragnarök, Hacker Evolution Duality and more…
All those games have a native Linux client, is there a possibility to get it via your bundle ?
I’m sure my readers at LinuxGamingNews.org would love to know about it.
Thanks
Daniel Hjelmtorp :
Hello Maxim
For those games that have Linux versions we offering them for customers who purchase the bundle.
If we are missing linux versions we will add them if the developer have such a version.
Thanks
Daniel Hjelmtorp | Executive VP | GamersGate.com
The games that have a GNU/Linux client are ( Please note that some of those games are still in Alpha/beta stages…) :
Tiny and Big: Grandpa’s Leftovers , 3079, Project Black Sun, Telepath RPG: Servants of God, Devil Whiskey, Survivors of Ragnarök, Black Market (browser), Blue Libra, Cardinal Quest, Hacker Evolution Duality, Shepherd Slaughter, Three Dead Zed, Will Fight for Food and maybe AirBuccaneers HD (after Unity4 will be released).
So you got plenty of games to choose from and 19 days left to do it, so what are you waiting for ?! get the now !
Homestuck Adventure Game is a spinoff of Homestuck which is an illustrated, semi-animated story on the internet that is an extensive parody of video games, most notably classic adventure games.
Homestuck Adventure Game structure is very open, which suits a highly exploratory piece of freeform media with a huge cast and many silly tangents. This game would be a more formal exercise in interactive storytelling and feature a very cool soundtrack !
Till today this project somehow managed to gather more than $1.1MILLIONS out of the already huge goal of $700k with 22 days left !
As a follower of the gaming kickstarter projects, I have NO IDEA how this game managed to reach more than $1.1Millions unless there is some voodoo magic involved
Maybe the fact that the interactive story begun more than 3 years ago and managed to get a fair amount of followers helped a bit.
After passing the $900,00 USD stretch goal the GNU/Linux client was confirmed.
About the project
Homestuck is an illustrated, semi-animated story on the internet. It is not a comic that just happens to be hosted on the internet – it was specifically designed to exist there, to explore the potential of the medium, and evolve through reader participation. I began working on it about three years ago. The end of the story is now on the horizon. When it’s complete, I’ll work with an independent game developer to create a game involving a new story based within the Homestuck universe–assuming this project is funded, of course. The readers, through their participation, have helped make Homestuck what it has become. They may continue to participate in Homestuck’s evolution by helping to fund this project!
If you are unfamiliar with Homestuck (or the site it lives on, MS Paint Adventures), it will help to know a little about the nature of the story and how it was made. Read below to find out more, or if you’re already familiar with it, feel free to skip to the next section where I talk about the project.
Please tell me about Homestuck.
Click here to let me tell you about Homestuck.
I have been told about Homestuck. Please tell me about this game.
Homestuck, like all other stories on MS Paint Adventures, was built on extensive parody of video games, most notably classic adventure games. The “mock adventure game” format has driven the creation of every page in the story, often with readers supplying commands for what the characters should do next. So for the project after Homestuck, I think it would not only be fitting, but quite exciting to present the story in the form of an actual adventure game.
I’ve worked with others to make small playable games as single pages of Homestuck before, creating them very quickly on small-to-nonexistent budgets. (Like this, or this, with RPG-like gameplay.) And some games I worked on alone. (Like this, and this, with Myst-like gameplay.) These were pretty casual projects, each made in a week or two, and slotted into a much larger, regularly updated story. But a more serious independent game project, with higher production values, many puzzles and challenges, and a fully developed, self-contained story, that is something that requires BIG BUCKS! The $700,000 goal will be enough to fund this project, but is really just about the bare minimum needed to make the game I have in mind. Games are expensive!
They also take a lot of time. The plan is this. I’ll finish Homestuck some time in 2013. In the meantime, there will be a high-level planning phase for the game project. The decisions reached will largely depend on the budget we have to work with: how much money is raised here. When Homestuck is done, that’s when our full attention will be on actual development. The game will be scheduled for release in 2014. I’m often asked what I will work on once Homestuck is done. If the project is funded, then this is it! As for what will happen with MSPA after that, I haven’t really decided yet. I might continue making some sort of content for it, but I’ll have to see what sort of time investment the game will require first.
We’ve talked to some independent game developers about this project already, companies that have already released great games. One in particular we have spoken with quite extensively about this project, and likely will be a good fit. Until things are finalized, that’s all the information we’ll release! Announcements like this will most likely follow after the Kickstarter is over.
So, what will the game be like?
It’ll be based on Homestuck, of course. But this doesn’t mean it’ll be anything close to a direct adaptation. That would be impossible! Homestuck is a pretty huge story.
It’ll be a little more like a spinoff than an adaptation. Something that draws from the elements already established in the vast Homestuck universe, applied more selectively to a shorter, self-contained story. Homestuck’s structure is very open, which suits a highly exploratory piece of freeform media with a huge cast and many silly tangents. This game would be a more formal exercise in interactive storytelling. I’ll use elements from Homestuck that I think will be interesting to expand upon in something new, likely with minimal relevance to Homestuck comic canon. Beyond that, things are pretty up in the air as far as plot and characters go. I have some ideas, but the concept will be a work in progress for a good while.
And when I say it will be a “formal exercise,” I don’t mean I won’t try to do anything creative or novel with the medium. I’ll definitely be looking for ways to have some fun with the adventure game format, maybe do a few things that haven’t been done before with the genre. But I mainly mean that my primary goal will be to make a well-produced and highly-accessible game by any standard, something that everyone can enjoy even if they’ve never heard of Homestuck before.
So as this project it pretty much a go and will have a GNU/Linux client, you are free to pledge .
Did I mention the soundtrack is cool ?

Win a copy of Sacred Gold for GNU/Linux!
By wogue | Published September 9, 2012
Take part on the first ever contest by woGue, and win a free copy of the Linux Games Publishing Sacred Gold RPG game!
Sacred Gold was initially released in 2004 for Windows and was ported to Linux by LGP in 2009. Lately it became the newest member of Desura Linux game list, and you now have the chance to win it and fully enjoy it for free.
The Game…
In his fortress of Shaddar-Nur, the necromancer Shaddar, a pariah of the Band of Mages from Mystdale Castle, plans his triumphant return to the world of Ancaria. To strengthen his magic powers, he summons a Sakkara Demon, whose power he will absorb himself. These Sakkara Demons rule over those damned to rot in hell, the undead. Not since the Era of the Gods have any of these creatures set foot in Ancaria, not since the Seraphim army drove them back to their dimension during the Wars of the Gods.
However, Shaddar’s experiment fails. The Sakkara Demon escapes and turns on his summoner…
In the south of the Kingdom, the village of Bellevue is beset by robbers and slave traders sent by the Sakkara Sect to find suitable victims for their unholy magic rituals. At the same time, the Kingdom is infiltrated by Goblins, forerunners of the Orcs of Khorad-Nur.
Under the command of Sergeant Treville, a loyal veteran of Prince Valor, the heroes first fight in the lands bordering the Orcish wastelands against attacks by the Goblins and the Orcs, who are leaving their desert in hordes and venturing ever deeper into the Kingdom of the dying King Aarnum.
Intro – Desura
The Contest…
The price is a copy of Sacred Gold for Linux that the winner will be able to download from desura for free. The contest finishes at September 16, Sunday GMT 20:00 when the winner will be selected and announced after a random.org draw.

Factors Influencing Surface Air Temperature
June 15, 2013, 2:36 pm

The surface air temperature at any location on Earth is the result of a small number of factors. These factors act in concert to create a particular heat budget for this location that varies over time. Some of these factors (like the input of solar radiation) positively influence the budget by providing some type of energy which is converted into heat, which then results in a corresponding increase in surface air temperature. Other factors act to reduce temperature by decreasing the input of heat energy or by taking away heat energy from the atmosphere.
This article describes five of the more important factors in detail.
Latitude
The most important factor controlling surface air temperature is the input of solar radiation. On the Earth’s surface, the amount of radiation input is largely controlled by the intensity and duration of insolation. As the result of these two factors, the quantity of incoming solar radiation available at the surface varies annually with latitude (Figure 1). From the equator to the North and South Pole, seasonal variations in day length and angle of incidence become greater with increasing latitude. Because of these variations, seasonal deviations in surface air temperature also become more extreme as we approach the poles (Figure 2). Highest temperatures tend to correspond roughly to the summer season when day lengths are the longest and Sun angles are at their maximum. When day lengths are at their shortest and Sun angles are at their minimum (winter), the lowest temperatures occur. Locations near the equator (like Singapore - 1°N) have only small variations in solar input annually because seasonal changes in day length and angle of incidence are slight (Figure 3). Consequently, variations in surface air temperature over the period of one calendar year also are minor.
Figure 1: Daily insolation at the top of the atmosphere in Wm-2 for three locations: equator, 50°N, and 90°N. At the equator little annual variation in insolation occurs because of consistent 12-hour days and relatively high Sun angles all year long. 90°N experiences six months of darkness from the September equinox to the March equinox. A location at 50°N would show large seasonal variations in insolation that peak in the June solstice. Lowest quantities of insolation are received during the December solstice.

Figure 2: Latitude influence on mean monthly temperature. Mean monthly temperatures of five Northern Hemisphere locations with different latitudes. The graph suggests that monthly temperatures generally become higher as one moves toward the equator. Also, note that seasonal temperature variations between summer (June, July, and August) and winter (December, January, and February) become more extreme as latitude increases.

Altitude
Surface air temperatures tend to cool gradually with increasing elevation. This phenomenon is well known to anyone living in a mountainous region. Temperatures in the valley bottoms are generally warmer than temperatures on mountainsides and peaks. When observing mountains from a distance, we can determine the elevation that roughly represents a surface temperature of 0°C (32°F) by finding the snow line. Above this boundary temperatures are cold enough to maintain snow and ice in a frozen state. Below the snow line average temperatures are above freezing.
Figure 4 describes the monthly mean temperatures for four locations in equatorial Columbia with similar latitudes but different elevations. Girardot has the lowest elevation (286 m, 938 ft) and a mean annual temperature of about 28°C (82°F). Just above Girardot, is Chinchina (1310 m, 4298 ft) and Tibacuy (1525 m, 5003 ft) with mean annual temperatures of 21°C (66°F) and 19°C (70°F), respectively. Bogota has the highest elevation (2556 m, 8386 ft) and an average annual temperature of about 14°C (57°F). We can calculate the rate of temperature drop between these places to be about 6.1°C per 1000 m (3.3°F per 1000 ft). This drop in temperature is related to the fact that the atmosphere becomes less dense with altitude.
Figure 4: Elevation influence on mean monthly temperature. Comparison of mean monthly temperature patterns for four locations in Columbia with different elevations: Girardot (286 m, 938 ft), Chinchina (1310 m, 4298 ft), Tibacuy (1525 m, 5003 ft), and Bogota (2556 m, 8386 ft). These locations are found within 200 kilometers (125 miles) of each other at a latitude of about 5° North of the equator. (Image Copyright: Michael Pidwirny).
The density of air influences both the heating and cooling of the atmosphere near the Earth’s surface. At high elevations less of the incoming shortwave radiation is absorbed and reflected by particles found in the atmosphere lying overhead. This results in more incoming radiation available for conversion into heat energy. The most obvious outcome of having more heat energy available is a relatively rapid rise in daytime air temperature in high elevation locations. A thin atmosphere also causes less of the outgoing longwave radiation to be reradiated back to the Earth’s surface where it can be converted into heat energy again. This greenhouse effect is dependent on the availability of water and other greenhouse gases. When the air becomes thinner, the quantity of these atmospheric substances declines. The net effect of a weaker greenhouse effect is a rapid and intense nighttime cooling. The magnitude of this nighttime cooling is usually greater than the additional heat produced by more intense solar radiation. Consequently, daily mean, monthly mean, and annual temperatures generally decrease as altitude increases.
Cloud Cover
The presence of cloud cover has a definite effect on air temperature. During the daytime, cloud cover tends to block the transmission of sunlight to the Earth’s surface. Less solar radiation leads to reduced heat generation and lower surface air temperatures. This process explains why daytime temperatures are cooler along the equator and hotter at the subtropical deserts. At the equator, cumulus and cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds develop almost daily reducing the amount of incoming solar radiation absorbed at the Earth’s surface. In the subtropical deserts, skies are usually clear, maximizing the flow of solar radiation through the atmosphere to the surface. Thus, high heat generation at the surface makes desert temperatures very hot during the day.
At night, the presence of clouds is associated with less dramatic nighttime cooling. Nighttime cooling is the result of heat energy in the lower atmosphere being converted into outgoing longwave radiation. In a clear atmosphere, most of this emission leaves the Earth and only a small amount of this outgoing energy is reemitted as counter-radiation to partially offset radiative cooling at the Earth’s surface and lower atmosphere. The presence of clouds greatly enhances the greenhouse process. When cloud cover is extensive and thick, most of the outgoing longwave is redirected back to the surface where it again creates heat energy. Therefore, cloudy nights tend to be warmer than cloudless nights.
Maritime and Continental Effects
The two dominant surface types found on the Earth are land and water. These surface types influence the heating and cooling of the air directly above them in different ways. Simply stated, the heating and cooling of air over land is more intense and rapid creating more extreme temporal variations in surface air temperature. The causes of this phenomenon are related to the following factors:
• Because of its solid form and low thermal conductivity, only a small portion of the heat energy created by absorption of solar radiation at the surface of land flows into this substance.
• Most of the heat created by absorption flows almost immediately into the atmosphere by conduction and convection. This transfer of energy is high when insolation input is great. Likewise, when insolation input is small the amount of heat entering the atmosphere is low. This fact explains why extreme diurnal (daily) and annual variations of air temperature occur over land.
Water stores a lot of heat energy because of its fluid nature and high specific heat. Fluid mixing redistributes the heat generated from solar radiation absorption throughout the vertical expanse of the water body. Thus, deep bodies of water like our planet’s oceans contain heat energy from thousands of years of insolation absorption. Some of this heat is available for conductive and convective transfer into the atmosphere. The amount of heat transferred from the surface of the ocean to the lower atmosphere is strongly controlled by the heat stored in the oceans. Annual variations in availability of solar radiation have minimal effect on the quantity of this heat flow. Consequently, the amount of heat energy flowing into the atmosphere is relatively high even when insolation input is low.
Figure 5 illustrates the maritime effect of oceans on surface air temperature. The graphs in this figure describe the annual variations in monthly mean, maximum, and minimum air temperature for four terrestrial locations with similar latitudes but differing proximity to the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Vancouver and St. Johns are located along the west and east coast of North America, respectively (Figure 6). Minot and Winnipeg are found at the center of North America and their climates are strongly influenced by the continental effect (also called continentality). Comparing the monthly temperatures of these places reveals that annual variations are almost twice as great for the continental locations. Minot and Winnipeg also have greater differences between monthly maximum and minimum temperatures for most months indicating greater diurnal variations. Of the maritime climates, Vancouver is slightly milder than St. Johns and experiences less annual variation in temperature. The moderating influence of the oceans is greater for Vancouver because weather in the mid-latitudes generally travels from west to east.

Comparison of monthly mean, maximum, and minimum temperatures of two maritime (Vancouver and St. Johns) and two continental (Minot and Winnipeg) Northern Hemisphere locations with similar latitudes. (Image Copyright: Michael Pidwirny).
Figure 6: Relative location of Vancouver, Minot, Winnipeg, and St. Johns in North America. (Image Copyright: Michael Pidwirny).
The maritime and continental effects also influence surface air temperature variations on a global scale. The latitudinal distribution of land and water on the Earth’s surface is not even. From 30° North to 70° North more land than water covers the Earth’s surface, while from 30° South to 70° South ocean surface dominates. The climatic effects of this difference can be seen in Table 1. For the regions of interest, the data in this table indicate that seasonal temperature fluctuations in the Southern Hemisphere are considerably less than in the Northern Hemisphere.
Ocean Currents
Ocean waters on our planet are constantly in motion. These motions occur in the horizontal and in the vertical. Horizontal motions of ocean waters produce surface and subsurface flows known as ocean currents. Currents that occur at the ocean’s surface are driven by the winds associated with the large-scale global circulation of the atmosphere. Frictional drag caused by wind blowing over the ocean surface is the primary factor determining the course that these currents will take. The presence of land masses can also influences the direction of ocean currents. These barriers redirect the flow of east or west flowing currents in a north or south direction.
Surface ocean currents can influence the climate of locations because the ocean water that they transport can have a contrasting temperature. In general, currents that flow from the tropics to higher latitudes have relatively warm flows. Cold flows of ocean water are produced when the currents move from the high latitudes to the tropics. The moderating effect of warm ocean currents on land temperatures is well known. The Gulf Stream warms temperatures along the eastern seaboard of the United States from Florida to North Carolina (Figure 7). Also, an extension of this flow, known as the North Atlantic Drift, travels across the Atlantic Ocean warming air temperatures in Britain and Western Europe. This warming is most pronounced in the winter. For example, during this season average January mean temperature in Coimbra, Portugal is 10.1°C (18.1°F) warmer than Philadelphia although these two locations are at roughly the same latitude (40°N).
Figure 7: The Gulf Stream (A) moves a current of warm water from the tip of Florida northward along the coastline of Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Off the coast of Virginia, the Gulf Stream changes its direction and begins to move more eastward. The California Current (B) starts off the coast of British Columbia and moves cold water down the west coast of North America. The scale at the bottom matches ocean surface temperature in degrees Celsius with the colors found on the satellite image. (Image Source: NOAA).
Cold surface ocean currents originate in polar and temperate latitudes and generally flow towards the equator. Like the warm surface currents, they are driven largely by atmospheric circulation. The climatic effects of cold currents are most obvious in the summer season. For example, the cold California Current off the west coast of the United States moderates air temperatures from the state of Washington to California (Figure 7). The magnitude of this cooling can be seen by comparing the summer temperature records for cities on the east and west coast of the United States with similar latitudes. For example, the average July mean temperature in Santa Cruz, California is 8.9°C (16.0°F) cooler than Norfolk, Virginia. Yet, both locations are located at about 37°N latitude.

Mission: Reuniting the Families
Hi, I'm AK47bandit, and I made a major edit to the "Reuniting the Families" mission page yesterday. I understand that you wish to standardize and focus on the mission pages, and I also think this is a great idea!
Having a walkthrough for each mission and details about objectives and unlockables is essential for any mission page. However, this is mostly helpful for reguler players of the game, comparing mission details against one another, or people trying to go through the game for the first time.
I think that if a summary (written from a cinimatic viewpoint) of each mission would be included on each page, it would help show how the mission is important to the plot of the game. It would also be much more easily understood by people who have not had any experiance with the game firsthand. One of the awesome features of the game is how the story supports and compliments the gameplay. Also, I hope that this wiki could provide information and help introduce GTA to people who have never played the game and are just plain curious. But I also understand that you don't want pages that are too long, but I think that consice summmarys could be included without making pages uncomfortably large.
In conclusion, I hope that I can contribute to this wiki. I don't mean to intentionally hamper any of your efforts to organize mission pages, and I hope I can help in any way possible. Also, I would like to remark that this wiki is much cooler than the regular wikipedia!
(Response on User talk:AK47bandit)
Just to chime in here, I think having detailed walkthroughs is super important for attracting new readers.. Walkthroughs are by far the most searched for thing for any game online. I would even suggest adding the work "walkthrough" to your page names so these articles show up on google searches, (i.e. GTA IV Walkthroughs/Reuniting the families or Reuniting the families Walkthrough) Just my two cents :) angies<staff /> (talk) 00:38, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
That's not a bad idea - "walkthrough" always did seem to get a good few hits from google. Although probably we could do as good a job by using ==Walkthrough== as the subheading for the step-by-step detail inside mission articles, and having for all pages that involve it? I don't think meta tags are particularly useful these days, but the MediaWiki:Pagetitle you were just editing would be a good place to have the word. Gboyers (?) 00:57, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
As seen in the example I gave AK47bandit, Tagging Up Turf uses a "Quick Walkthrough" and a "Detailed Walkthrough." I also agree that it is very important to include the word "walkthrough," and intend to eventually do so on every mission page. --GuildKnightTalk2me 02:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Patrolling
Congrats on your adminship.. the patrolling function is available in MW core, see http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Recent_changes_patrol for some basic info angies<staff /> (talk) 00:26, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I've enabled this feature for GTA. Please let me know if you want it limited to admins. By default, any logged in user can patrol. Angela<staff /> (talk) 04:56, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Mission Pages
Thanks for the info! I'll try to help add on to mission pages, and keep my summaries precise and consice. If you need to reformat or if I need to edit my work, feel free to do so or give me a heads up! (The cutscenes are my favorite part of the game. People like Mike Toreno, Ryder, and Jizzy really crack me up. :) ) AK47bandit 05:20, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Editing
Yeah, I think I'll clean up some of the vechicle pages. If you could look over the edit I did on the page The Mothership the truth's van, and leave me some feedback and advice, that'd be great! AK47bandit 05:36, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Gang Warfare
On the gang warfare page my post was deleted because of "innaccurate information". I put N/A as a gang colour for the mafia, because although some members of the mob might dress in grey, it is not the universal gang colour.
That is why I felt it should be N/A. Unsigned comment added by Gta3vcsalcsvcs4 (talkcontribs)
Response on User talk:Gta3vcsalcsvcs4 --GuildKnightTalk2me 03:28, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks!
Hi, GuildKnight. Thanks for the list. There are things on there I was thinking of as well, so I would be more than happy to accomplish what I can from your list. As I'm sure you read, I am focusing on San Fierro first. I will then move on to Los Santos, Las Venturas, and then towns/counties. Thanks again, and happy editing! EganioTalk 05:46, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Style Guide
Style guide is definitely required. Grand Theft Wiki:Layout Guide is an old one from before the GTW merge. Match it up with Grand Theft Wiki:Consistency and the (limited) Help documentation. Are you aiming this to be Policy (rules) or Help (advice)? The term "guide" implies guidelines, but people can stray outside the guidelines if they know what they're doing. Either way is fine, you just need to make sure you're writing it for one or the other. Gboyers talk 00:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, it needs some work still. I also plan to include a list of recommended layouts; Game pages, Mission pages, Weapon pages, Vehicle pages, and Place pages layouts. Maybe it also needs a note on American vs. British spellings, and a link to help using wiki markup...
Also, I like the "guidelines" idea... "people can stray outside the guidelines if they know what they're doing." --GuildKnightTalk2me 20:41, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi
I don't currently use the IRC but can. However, at times this may not prove to be a good way to chat, because the IRC does not always work, for me at least. A-Dust 23:49, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
I also had trouble with a few IRC clients... what do you use? Anyway, it's better to use the wiki talk pages for decisions about the site so that there's a record of the conversation... but a lot of times it's just easier to have the quicker conversation that's only possible with chat. What about the GTAWiki chat widget? --GuildKnightTalk2me 02:23, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
I have no idea what the chat widget is, as I've never chatted to anyone on here other than through talk pages. I now use the Wikia IRC channel to log in, which seems at this point to work fine. A-Dust 08:25, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
The chat widget can be added to the column on the right. The button at the top of the screen that lets you choose "My Talk", "My Watchlist", etc., also lets you choose "Manage Widgets", and then you can add the chat widget, though I think I may be the only one that uses it. Anyway, I should be back in the IRC room late Sunday. --GuildKnightTalk2me 05:56, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Mission Footer Template
I've had a look at the template, but can't find out why the white box is on the template. I shall leave a message on Gboyers discussion page, as he'd probably have a better idea of how to fix it. A-Dust 10:28, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Re: Message
Ok i'll keep that in mind, thanks ;) PrivateSniper 01:59, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Absence
Hey GK. I'll be away for a week or two, so I'll leave the wiki in your hands. I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye on things as usual, and make sure nobodys doing anything significantly awful. If you need any support, speak to a member of wikia staff (eg Kirkburn, Lleowen, Angies, TOR) and show them this message if you need clearance. There shouldn't be any problems (no more than usual) but we need somebody on-watch just in case. Thanks - Gboyers talk 01:34, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Also, as you may be aware, Wikia are planning to roll out a new Monaco skin on every wiki on Tuesday. This skin will become the default skin for every user, and we will not be able to change that (unlike how we can now). The main difference will be that the main page (only the main page) will have to change to be two columns, and an advert will appear in the top of the right column - see WoWWiki for a good example. See this for instructions on how to do this. I'll try and grab some time online to style this, but I would appreciate you trying to fix the main page (at least temporarily) if it breaks. If it breaks really badly, feel free to make a new one until it can be done properly. Nothing wrong with copying the main page from another wiki so long as everything is changed (obviously). I'm just asking cos I may not be able to get round to that for a couple of days, so we may need (at least) an interim solution. But if you can make a decent new homepage yourself, that would be ideal. I'd suggest asking User:Kirkburn for help. Gboyers talk 01:46, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
No problem. I'd anticipated we may need to develop something new, and I've already got a couple ideas rolling around in my head. I'll at least make sure everything goes as smoothly as I can. Luckily, I will be off of work either Tuesday and Wednesday or Wednesday and Thursday, and if I'm not off Tuesday, I'll at least have some time to make sure it's not broken, so I'll be here. Oh, and by the way, thanks for the vote of confidence. See ya in a week or two. --GuildKnightTalk2me 02:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Main page edits
Hi, GuildKnight. I hope everything is going well with you. I wanted to talk to you about the issues Chip2007 had with some of your edits on the main page. I saw he left you a message, and am only butting in because he left me and Gboyers notes to the same effect. I asked him to talk to you about it first, and iron things out before jumping to conclusions about vandalism and/or reverting edits. I'm just hoping we can resolve this quickly and smoothly! EganioTalk 03:31, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
IRC? I haven't visited it yet...mainly because I'm totally ignorant of it, but I'd love to chat! :-) How do I get there? EganioTalk 07:09, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
Heh, never mind...by some miracle, I figured it out on my own, and am now registered as Eganio. EganioTalk 07:35, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
hi
as eganio| told you I have being having issues with your edits one being the image enyway its been rectified BTW thanks for your contributions Chip200715 june 2008 10:51 AM GMT
As I've said multiple times now, I did not change any images on the main page at all. The only edit I made to the main page was to add the new poll. --GuildKnightTalk2me 02:20, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations GK - hope you enjoy your promotion as much as I've watched you earn it - Gboyers talk 01:13, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
Thank you so much! I swear I won't let you down. --GuildKnightTalk2me 01:18, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
Congratulations!!! Gboyers made an excellent choice! Of course, you realize this means I'll be bugging you with the incessant questons I've laid on Gboyers' doorstep. Hee hee. ;-) EganioTalk 01:34, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Red Cross
Hi Carlee. On top of your recent promotion, I feel I have to more specifically address your willingness to help other users. I'm delighted to present to you the Red Cross medal, for persistent and unending help to other users and Staff. It is an absolutely pleasure to have you here. Gboyers talk 01:42, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Your opinion, please...
Hi, Carlee. I'd like to ask you to stop by the discussion we've been having ragarding the spolier issue with the Karen and Michelle Stone articles, and add your opinion. So far, the discussion is between Gboyers, Biggest gta fan ever, and me. I think a fresh perspective from another admin would help, since Gboyers and I seem to be of opposing opinions, and Biggest gta fan ever seems torn between the two perspectives. A-Dust was on there prior, but hasn't been back in a while...I'm going to ask him to stop by and add his two cents' worth as well. Thanks in advance! :-) EganioTalk 09:02, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Abstract
Aims. Intraoperative analysis of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) by frozen section (FS) allows for immediate axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in case of metastatic disease in patients with breast cancer. The aim of this study is to evaluate the benefit of intraoperative FS, with regard to false negative rate (FNR) and influence on operation time. Materials and Methods. Intraoperative analysis of the SLN by FS was performed on 628 patients between January 2005 and October 2009. Patients were retrospectively studied. Results. FS accurately predicted axillary status in 525 patients (83.6%). There were 78 true positive findings (12.4%), of which there are 66 macrometastases (84.6%), 2 false positive findings (0.3%), and 101 false negative findings (16.1%), of which there are 65 micrometastases and isolated tumour cells (64.4%) resulting in an FNR of 56.4%. Additional operation time of a secondary ALND after wide local excision and SLNB is 17 minutes, in case of ablative surgery 35 minutes. The SLN was negative in 449 patients (71.5%), making their scheduled operation time unnecessary. Conclusions. FS was associated with a high false negative rate (FNR) in our population, and the use of telepathology caused an increase in this rate. Only 12.4% of the patients benefited from intraoperative FS, as secondary ALND could be avoided, so FS may be indicated for a selected group of patients.

Google News Test Another New Design
May 28, 2010 • 7:56 am | (1) by | Filed Under Google Search Engine
Google News seems to be constantly testing new user interfaces, features and designs. The latest design was hinted to in the Google News Help forum by Fred of Google and I spotted screen captures of it in the Google Blogoscoped Forums. Let me share those screen shots from Jérôme in the forum.
Here is the home page test:
Here is the article list test:
Jérôme has some outstanding feedback on this design:
Wow, I really hate this and it's probably the worst change I ever had with a Google service.
• It canceled all my personalization
• I can't remove the local news sectio, which must be restrict to a city-level to make sense (very poor quality otherwise)
• I can only have one column.
• I can't chose how each topic should rank, i.e I'm forced to have the entertainment section above the health one.
• I have to hover each headline for about 1 second to get few words about th article. It makes absolutely no sense to wait that long compared to go directly read the article. "Japan Economic Data Worsens – Wall Street Journal – Tomoyuki Tachikawa – 3 hours ago" How meaningful is this?
Personally, I agree on many points. I don't like the current interface for Google News, but is this an improvement?

Blogging Head Attacks Mises
February 8, 2009 by
This is an enjoyable debate between James Pinkerton (who is ok in some ways but could be much better) and Jeff Madrick, author of The Case for Big Government. Somehow the argument keeps coming back to Mises and Hayek.
You will note that Pinkerton undermines his own argument often, and never makes the point that government’s great “achievements” really displaced what might have been better achievements by private markets. Actually, he sounds more like a moderate right-wing social democrat than a real free-market defender.
Meanwhile, Madrick attributes all failures of government to “anti-government ideology”–which reminds me of the great excuse that the Soviets used for 70 years in which every failure of socialism was put on those who don’t believe strongly enough in socialism.

Remote Engineering and Virtual Instrumentation Using Jini Technology
Zoltan Juhasz, Gabor Bognar, Krisztian Kuntner, Akos Pasztory, Szabolcs Pota
Abstract
The rise of Internet and web technology have transformed our society by providing access to unprecedented amount of information, supporting communication and collaboration, empowering e-business and e-commerce. Its role in advancing science is equally important. It has become possible to disseminate scientific information more effectively, access large databases, share computational resources, measurement devices, control experiments and collaborate at a global scale. The human user centered traditional world wide web technology, however, cannot provide the suitable technological platform necessary for the further development and improvement of online and remote engineering applications. New, service-oriented technologies are required, which support higher level of automation, enable seamless programmatic and interactive access to remote devices and systems, and have an adequate programming model suitable for creating large and complex distributed scientific applications. In this paper, we describe such a technology, Jini technology, and illustrate with case studies its various benefits for the remote engineering, virtual instrumentation community.

212 - The Extra Degree
The one extra degree makes the difference. This simple analogy reflects the ultimate definition of excellence. Because it's the one extra degree of effort, in business and life, that can separate the good from the great. This powerful book by S.L. Parker and Mac Anderson gives great examples, great quotes and great stories to illustrate the 212° concept. A warning - once you read it, it will be hard to forget. Your company will have a target for everything you do ... 212°

Extraction Equilibrium and Simple Extractive Spectrophotometric Determination of Gold (I& III) in Water Using the Ion - Pairing Amiloride Hydrochloride
A.S. Bashammakh, M.S. El-Shahawi
Abstract
The chemical equilibrium of the ternary complex ion associate of the complex anion AuCl4
- and the ion – pairing
reagent 1- (3, 5-diamino-6-chloropyrazinecarboxyl) guanidine hydrochloride monohydrate, DPG+.Cl- extracted
from aqueous solutions of pH 5-6 onto 4-methyl pentan-2-one was demonstrated. The extraction constants (Kex,
KD and ß) of the chemical equilibrium and the structure of the produced associate were determined. The results
have indicated that, the formation of the complex ion associate of the chemical structure DPG+.AuCl4
- and the
extraction mechanism does not involve solvation of the ion associate by the amine and/or water molecules in the
organic phase. Beer's law was obeyed in the range 0.01 -2.5 ?g mL-1gold (III) in the aqueous solution. The
method was applied successfully for the analysis of gold (I) after oxidation to gold (III). The method was also
applied for the analysis of gold (I& III) at trace concentrations in industrial wastewater samples. Gold (III) ions
at trace level in one liter aqueous solution was concentrated in 10.0 mL by the developed extraction system so an
enrichment factor of 100 was achieved. The time taken for the separation and determination of gold ions was in
the range of 3-5 min.

Asynchronous Google AdSense Code Now Default Option
Oct 18, 2013 • 8:43 am | (2) by | Filed Under Google AdSense
Around July 2013, Google released support for a BETA version of asynchronous AdSense code.
It went over very well, so well that it is now not only out of beta a few months later, it is also the default option when you create AdSense ads.
Now, when you create a new AdSense ad, the default option will give you the asynchronous route:
The new quick tool tip on this option reads:
The asynchronous ad code is a fully asynchronous version of the AdSense ad code that offers improved web latency and a better user experience for your site’s visitors. The advantage of the asynchronous code is that it's guaranteed never to get in the way of other parts of your web page loading. This means that users will be able to load the content of your pages, even if they’re having trouble loading the ads. Mobile users in particularly will enjoy less latency when loading web pages.

Subiaco is a town and comune in the Province of Rome, in Lazio, Italy, from Tivoli alongside the river Aniene. It is mainly renowned as a tourist and religious resort for its sacred grotto (Sacro Speco), in the St. Benedict's Abbey, and the other Abbey of St. Scholastica. It is also famous as the first city in Italy where books were printed, in the 15th century.
History
the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia
Ancient settlers of the area were the Aequi, an Italic people. In 304 BC they were conquered by the Romans, who introduced their civilization and took advantage of the waters of the Aniene river. The present name of the city comes from the artificial lakes of the luxurious villa that emperor Nero had built: in Latin Sublaqueum means "under the lake", and the name extended to the town that had grown nearby. The biggest of the three Subiaco Dams was to be the highest dam in the world until its destruction in 1305. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the villa and the town were abandoned, becoming almost forgotten ruins.
When St. Benedict, at the age of fourteen, retired from the world and lived for three years in a cave above the river Anio, he was supplied with the necessaries of life by a monk, St. Roman. The grotto at the site became the cradle of the Benedictine Order - St. Benedict was able to build twelve monasteries and to place twelve monks in each. The one at the grotto seems to have had a short existence; in 854 we find a record of its renovation. In this year, Pope Leo IV is said to have consecrated an altar to Sts. Benedict and Scholastica and another to St. Sylvester. Another renovation took place in 1053 under Abbot Humbert of St. Scholastica. Abbot John V, created cardinal by Pope Gregory VII, made the grotto the terminus of a yearly procession, built a new road, and had the altars reconsecrated.
Shortly before 1200 there existed a community of twelve, which Innocent III made a priory; John XXII in 1312 appointed a special abbot. A new road was built by the city in 1688. The sacred grotto is still a favourite pilgrimage, and on October 27, 1909, Pius X granted a daily plenary indulgence to those who receive Holy Communion there and pray according to the intention of the Holy Father (Acta. Ap. Sedis, II, 405). The Abbey of St. Scholastica, about a mile and a half below the grotto, was built by St. Benedict himself (about 520), and endowed by the Roman patricians, Tertullus and Æquitius. The second abbot, St. Honoratus, changed the old monastery into a chapter room and built a new one, dedicating it to Sts. Cosmas and Damian. It was destroyed by the Lombards in 601 and abandoned for a century. By order of John VII it was rebuilt by Abbot Stephen and consecrated to Sts. Benedict and Scholastica. Demolished in 840 by the Saracens and again in 981 by the Hungarians, it rose from its ruins.
Benedict VII consecrated the new church, and henceforth the abbey was known by the name St. Scholastica. In 1052, Leo IX came to Subiaco to settle various disputes and to correct abuses; a similar visit was made by Gregory VII. Special favour was shown by Paschal II, who took the abbey from the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Tivoli and made it an abbacy nullius. Its temporal welfare was also a care of the popes. Thus, among others, Innocent III, at his visit, in 1203, increased the revenues of the abbey. With the decline of religious fervour, strife and dissension arose to such an extent that Abbot Bartholomew in 1364, by command of the pope, had to dismiss some of the incorrigible monks and fill their places with religious from other monasteries. Numbers were brought in from Germany and for many decades Subiaco was a center of German thrift, science, and art. Still, it seems the discipline was not satisfactory, for Urban VI (1378–1389) abolished the abbots for life, took away from the monks the right of election, and gave the administration and revenues to a member of the Curia.
Pope Callixtus III, in 1455, gave the abbey in commendam to a cardinal. The first of these was the Spanish Cardinal Juan de Torquemada and the second Roderigo Borgia (later Alexander VI), who remodeled the Castrum Sublacence, once the summer resort of the popes, and made it the residence of the commendatory abbot. Many of these abbots cared little for the religious life of the monks and looked only for revenue. As an example, Pompeo Colonna, Bishop of Rieti, commendatory abbot since 1506, squandered the goods of the abbey and gave the income to unworthy subjects. On complaint of the community, in 1510, Julius II readjusted matters and restored the monastic possessions. For spiritual benefit a union had been made between Subiaco and the Abbey of Farfa, but it lasted only a short time. In 1514. Subiaco joined the Congregation of St. Justina, whose abbot-general was titular of St. Scholastica, while a cardinal remained commendatory abbot. Even after this union there were quarrels between Subiaco and Farfa, Subiaco and Monte Cassino, the Germans and the Italians.
After this little is known about the abbey and the city until the 19th century. In 1798-1799 and 1810-1814 French troops entered the city, plundering the monasteries and the churches. In 1849 and 1867 Giuseppe Garibaldi conquered the city in his plan to destroy the temporal rule of the Pope: in 1870 the city become definitively part of the Regno d'Italia.
In 1891, a Benedictine abbey founded earlier in western Arkansas, United States, changed its name to Subiaco in order to more closely align its teachings and practices to those of the famous abbeys of the Italian namesake.
The German printers Sweinheim and Pannartz established in Subiaco a printing press and printed Donatus pro parvulis, Lactantius (1465) and De Civitate Dei (1467). Those were the very first books to be printed in Italy.
In the first years of the 20th century the area was improved with the connection to a railway, a hydroelectric plant and an aqueduct. Electricity was brought to the houses and a hospital was built. In World War II Subiaco was bombed by Allied planes.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by the recruitment of leukocytes and the accumulation of inflammatory mediators within the synovial compartment. Release of the chemokine CCL18 has been widely attributed to antigen-presenting cells, including macrophages and dendritic cells. This study investigates the production of CCL18 in polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN), the predominant cell type recruited into synovial fluid (SF). Microarray analysis, semiquantitative and quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction identified SF PMN from patients with RA as a novel source for CCL18 in diseased joints. Highly upregulated expression of other chemokine genes was observed for CCL3, CXCL8 and CXCL10, whereas CCL21 was downregulated. The chemokine receptor genes were differentially expressed, with upregulation of CXCR4, CCRL2 and CCR5 and downregulation of CXCR1 and CXCR2. In cell culture experiments, expression of CCL18 mRNA in blood PMN was induced by tumor necrosis factor α, whereas synthesis of CCL18 protein required additional stimulation with a combination of IL-10 and vitamin D3. In comparison, recruited SF PMN from patients with RA were sensitized for CCL18 production, because IL-10 alone was sufficient to induce CCL18 release. These results suggest a release of the T cell-attracting CCL18 by PMN when recruited to diseased joints. However, its production is tightly regulated at the levels of mRNA expression and protein synthesis.

Though man is the only beast that can write, he has small reason to be proud of it. When he utters something that is wise it is nothing that the river horse does not know, and most of his creations are the result of accident.
