TechWadi Global Entrepreneurship Forum held for the first time in Beirut, hosted by the Olayan School of Business at AUB
The technology industry flourishes on the key contributions of Arab American professionals. In his speech at Cairo University, U.S. President Barack Obama announced a powerful vision: to promote the advancement of entrepreneurship and innovation throughout the developing world.
The TechWadi Global Entrepreneurship Forum was held on June 23 for the first time in Beirut at the Olayan School of Business (OSB) at the American University of Beirut, supported by partner Berytech Technological Pole. TechWadi is the leading networking association for Arab and Arab-American professionals in the technology industry.
The Forum emphasized accelerating entrepreneurship and venture capital in Lebanon and across the MENA region, and brought together distinguished individuals who are united in their vision to create a vibrant world-class entrepreneurial ecosystem. The forum also attracted a distinguished delegation led by the United States Department of State, including prominent business leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs seeking to expand cross-border ties with the MENA region.
Speakers at the conference addressed strategic topics, notably: the key role of mentors and incubators in building the support infrastructure for start-ups; the application of best practices in venture capital, such as managing multi-stage funds; and the opportunities for technology transfer and collaboration between the US and MENA. This conference offered opportunities for attendees to interact and network with local and international investors, executives, entrepreneurs, and policymakers.
The TechWadi Global Entrepreneurship Forum also integrated "live tweeting" from the individual conference sessions, using the twitter hash code #GEF2010. This innovative use of technology marks a new era of "real-time" communication at OSB that demonstrates to the region how innovation and technology will drive entrepreneurship initiatives forward.
TechWadi seeks to organize and facilitate access to mentorship, funding, and career opportunities for their members. Based in Silicon Valley, TechWadi reaches over 1,000 technology leaders in the United States and across the globe.

Benchmark models and specifications for "Design and Optimization of Restricted Complexity Controllers" are discussed and analyzed in relation with previous works on control of flexible structures. Then, a very classical frequency domain design based on the non-parametric model (that is: on experimental data) and phase control is proposed.Graphical tools developed and used to guide this trials and errors design are provided to the reader.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED The Upper Crust Pizzeria
73 South St. (Lincoln St.) Send to Phone
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED The Upper Crust Pizzeria Restaurant Review: This branch of the pizza chain is located in Hingham Square, so you can grab a pie to go and enjoy it along the nearby waterfront, or stay and unwind at this cozy spot. The thin, crisp, slightly charred crusts are topped with traditional items including grilled chicken, bacon, pepperoni and mushrooms, and not so traditional, such as blue cheese, baby clams, hearts of palm and steak. Our favorite is the white spinach pie, with mozzarella, spinach, feta and fresh garlic, or try the Patata Rossa, a white pizza with rosemary and garlic roasted red bliss potatoes, caramelized onions, Fontina and mozzarella. If you are looking for something unusual, don't miss the garden pesto with artichoke heart, diced tomatoes, garlic and Asiago cheese. Beer and wine is available. |

JUDY WOODRUFF: The Obama administration made a big move today on the question of school discipline policies around the country. It issued new guidelines to urge school administrators to ensure they are not being overly zealous with strict punishments for students that are sometimes called zero tolerance rules.
The Departments of Education and Justice warned schools to make sure they are being fair and equitable and that they are complying with civil rights laws.
Two years ago, the NewsHour's Tom Bearden looked into a story in Texas that was drawing international attention to the unintended consequences of such policies, often for minority students.
TOM BEARDEN: Seventeen-year-old Diane Tran is still upset after spending 24 hours in jail for missing class. The 11th grade honor student in Willis, Texas, was locked up for contempt of court after being warned by a justice of the peace to stop skipping school.
The judge who issued that warning in April sentenced her to jail last month when the absences continued.
LANNY MORIARTY, judge: If you let one of them run loose, what are you going to do with the rest of them? Let them go too?
TOM BEARDEN: But after Houston's KHOU reported her story, the international spotlight fell on Tran and Texas' school truancy laws, laws that were originally crafted in the mid-19th century to keep kids in class and prevent parents from pulling them out to work in the fields and then later in factories.
But for students like Tran, life is more complicated than it used to be. She is a straight-A student who holds down two jobs in order to help support her younger sister and another sibling in college.
DIANE TRAN, student at Willis High School: Well, the judge had warned me about missing too many days of school. But I just couldn't help it.
TOM BEARDEN: Tran says that schedule led to more than 10 unexcused absences in six months, which under Texas law can warrant criminal Class C misdemeanor charges, fines up to $500 and potentially jail time.
After the news spread, the judge ended up removing the citation from her record. But the case sparked a new debate about the merits of criminalizing student behavior.
JUDY WOODRUFF: The new guidance calls for clearer distinctions about the role of safety personnel and making sure school administrators handle routine discipline problems, instead of turning them over to law enforcement.
Hari Sreenivasan, in our New York studio, explores the potential impact of the guidelines.
HARI SREENIVASAN: We get two views now.
Sherrilyn Ifill is president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. And Chester Finn is president of the Fordham Institute, which focuses on the reform of elementary and secondary education.
So, Ms. Ifill, let me start with you.
How big of a problem is this? What is the administration reacting to with these guidelines?
SHERRILYN IFILL, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund: Well, the administration today really took the important step of recognizing what is a widespread problem.
What we saw in the clip is just the tip of the iceberg, not only in Texas, but in states throughout this country. We litigated a case in Bryan, Tex., where students can get a Class C misdemeanor ticket for using profanity in high school. And this essentially then leaves students with a record and puts students on that school-to-prison pipeline that we talk about.
This whole idea of discipline, of changing what used to be infractions that got you sent to the vice principal's office and criminalizing them has essentially introduced the criminal justice system into our schools, to the detriment of our children. And so what the administration really did today was to acknowledge this widespread problem, to take responsibility for investigating the results of these problems, and really trying to provide a framework for schools to think about how they can find alternative means to deal with what are real issues, discipline problems in the schools, to train police — to train school police, to train teachers, to train counselors to know how to deal with the problems that cause students to misbehave in school or, in the case of the student we saw, to miss school.
HARI SREENIVASAN: Mr. Finn, what about this idea that there is this school-to-prison pipeline, and we are overcriminalizing disciplinary behavior which could have been dealt inside the school?
CHESTER FINN, The Thomas B. Fordham Institute: A lot of it can be dealt win inside the school. There are also a lot of pipelines into prison, not just from schools. There's poverty. There's gangs. There's neighborhoods. There's bad parenting. There are any number of things that contribute to prison.
And if all that the administration had done was to offer school guidelines on how to handle discipline better, this probably would be a positive step. But there's a huge iron fist inside this glove. And it's in the joint guidance from the Justice Department and the Education Department, saying if you punish some kids more than you punish other kids and cannot prove that you didn't intend to discriminate, we're going to come after you and ding you as schools or school systems.
This is fundamentally a civil rights enforcement step, of the kind that is ultimately going to weaken discipline in our schools, at a very time when things like Newtown ought to have us seeking better order in our schools, rather than discouraging school systems from enforcing discipline.
HARI SREENIVASAN: Ms. Ifill, are there two different types of violence that we should be targeting?
SHERRILYN IFILL: Absolutely.
It's difficult to imagine how discipline in the schools would have changed what happened in Newtown. We're talking about out-of-school suspension for children who disrupt the class or who are using profanity or who are called insubordinate.
In Maryland in the 2011-2012 school year, 675 kindergarten students were given out-of-school suspensions for infractions like using foul language or not respecting the teacher. This is what we're really talking about.
The school shootings are absolute tragedies and absolutely have to be dealt with and addressed in terms of safety. But the issue we're talking about is discipline as it relates to student within the schools. And we shouldn't overreact or misguide our reaction to the tragedy that happened in Newtown by tightening the vice of discipline in the schools and criminalizing discipline in the schools.
And that's why these guidelines are so welcome. It's absolutely true this is a civil rights enforcement issue. And it is an important issue, because the disproportionate burden of this harsh criminalization of discipline falls on minority students, falls on African-American students, falls on Latino students, and as we saw in the clip that you showed, falls on Asian-American students.
So, some of what is suggested is in the guidelines and suggested by the Department of Justice today is the training for school personnel to even understand how they're doing what they do. They're not going to come in and sue the school districts. The first step they say explicitly in the guidelines is to work with schools to try and find a voluntary means of using alternative measures to deal with discipline problems.
HARI SREENIVASAN: Mr. Finn, what about the notion that Secretary Duncan impressed upon everyone over and over again, that they're looking for locally developed approaches, that there isn't one blanket policy? Is it possible?
CHESTER FINN: Well, what they have done is to discourage locally developed remedies by setting forth so many norms and requirements and documentation obligations and data gathering requirements, that the practical effect of this in our schools and school systems is going to be to deter school systems from developing workable discipline policies that ensure that the kids who do behave are going to be able to sit in orderly classrooms and listen to — hear their teacher and do their homework.
So I think Arne Duncan's words are exactly right. But I think that the effect of his and the attorney general's actions is going to be precisely the opposite.
HARI SREENIVASAN: Ms. Ifill, what about this idea that we have heard from teachers saying, you know what, sometimes getting a student out of the class is the only way that I can try and retain any semblance of order in the class, that — and really would prefer to outsource this, I'm not a security professional, I can't deal with all of this?
SHERRILYN IFILL: You know, in cases of violence, no one is suggesting that you don't need school police. In fact, we're not suggesting you shouldn't have them.
There is a difference between a student who is violent and a student who uses profanity or a student who can't sit in their seat or a student who doesn't show up for class. And, in fact, actually, the very opposite happened of what Mr. Finn said. In fact, Arne Duncan and the administration based a lot of their ideas for the guidelines today on the experience of what happened in Baltimore City, where organizations like OSI Baltimore and the Advancement Project worked with the school system to try and change the school discipline code to get rid of out-of-school suspensions.
And a lot of the success is in Baltimore. That is the reason why they held the announcement there today, really impressed the administration. And that's why they have empathized the idea of local changes, because they were impressed with what happened in one American city that figured out how to bring down out-of-school suspensions by working with the school district.
HARI SREENIVASAN: Mr. Finn, what do you think could attack some of these intense disparities even between states or even within districts for why some schools and some students are suspended so much more often than others?
CHESTER FINN: Well, what won't attack them is 20 pages of gotcha guidance from the Justice Department and the Education Department, which is part of what the administration released today.
What will tackle them is both education of education personnel and school safety personnel — there is no doubt about that — and advice as to what a good discipline policy looks like, all of which is excellent. But at the end of the day, it's the people that run our 50,000-school — sorry — 50,000-student school district that have to come up with these policies.
And it's the principals of schools with 800 or 1,800 kids in them that have to know how to enforce these. And fear of Uncle Sam is not going to make them do a better job. It is going to chill their ability to do any job at all in this realm.
HARI SREENIVASAN: Chester Finn and Sherrilyn Ifill, thanks so much for your time.
SHERRILYN IFILL: Thank you.
CHESTER FINN: Thank you.

More firms approved to use fast track customs service
The General Department of Customs will give Authorised Economic Operator (AOE) recognition to eight more businesses by the end of this year.
This follows an online discussion organised by the Hai Quan (Customs) online newspaper on Tuesday. Currently, there are 14 AOE recognised companies that receive preference during customs procedures, which cuts costs and clearance times for goods.
According to Nguyen Duong Thai, deputy general head of the General Department of Customs, the agency will sign an agreement on AEO companies with other countries in the near future.-
HCM City's high growth sustained
Ho Chi Minh City has been focusing on stabilising prices
of goods this year in the first seven months of this year.
Chairman of the Municipal People's Committee Le Hoang Quan said official agencies have been monitoring changes in prices, exports, and fluctuations in the global market to help businesses cope with the economic downturn and maintain their exports.
They have also helped businesses by eliminating barriers to export and through market stimulus programmes, he said, adding that the city has managed to sustain its high growth rates this year despite difficulties.
The trading and service sectors saw lower growth rates, manufacturing growth was higher, and agricultural growth was stable, Quan said.
The report said work on major infrastructure projects has been accelerated, especially those set to be finished this year - like the Sai Gon Bridge No 2, Tan Son Nhat - Binh Loi Beltway, steel flyovers at major intersections, Thanh Da Bridge, Do Bridge, and flood-control projects.
In the first seven months of the year retail sales and services were worth 337.8 trillion VND (15.9 billion USD), a year-on-year increase of 11.8 percent, and exports topped 15.78 billion USD, unchanged year-on-year.
The city welcomed over 2.15 million foreign visitors, up 5.5 percent, while revenues from tourism rose by 15 percent.
Industrial production was up 5.3 percent while agriculture - forestry - fishery grew by 6.6 percent.-
GDP target within reach?
Although the economic recession is finally beginning to bottom out, Vietnam may find its 5.5% GDP target a hard nut to crack.
The National Financial Supervisory Commission believes Vietnam's macroeconomic stabilisation
are paying off, minimising inflation and restoring foreign investors' trust in the government's performance.
The commission quoted a General Statistics Office report saying July's consumer price index (CPI) edged up 0.27% from the previous month and 7.29% against July 2012. The cumulative 2.68% since the start of 2013 is a record low compared to the inflationary
The commission concluded CPI trends indicate existing monetary policy and current domestic consumer purchasing power had only minor effects on inflation.
It attributed the rise in overall inflation to petrol price pressure and exchange rate adjustments redounding to transportation and import costs.
Vietnam aims to keep annual inflation at a level equivalent to or lower than last year's 6.81%, meaning monthly CPI must not exceed a 0.76% average over the remainder of 2013.
Taking into account both domestic and global market fluctuations, the commission forecast Vietnam's inflation target is certainly achievable.
Newly-established business numbers and the proportion of suspended businesses slowly resuming monthly operations are sources of cautious optimism.
Ministry of Planning and Investment statistics showed that despite an aberrant 4% fall in April 2013, the number of newly-licensed businesses rose 4.8% in May, 7.6% in June, and 8.4% in July.
Approximately 10,000 businesses forced into cessation by economic difficulties have resumed operations during the past seven months.
Industrial production is sustaining its upward trend, with its seven-month
(IIP) rising 5.2% compared to the 4.8% a year earlier.
The processing and manufacturing sector grew by 5.8%, a notable improvement on 2012's 4.3%.
The inventory index fell significantly to 8.8% from a height of 21.5% in early 2013.
Vietnam's half-yearly GDP growth rate of 4.9% is essentially equivalent to last year's six month mark (4.93%), underwhelming hopes and tightening the screws for governments, ministries, and localities striving towards the 5.5% growth rate target.
The National Financial Supervisory Commission said low domestic demand is limiting growth and forcing exports to bear the majority of the national economic load.
In an August 1 report, HSBC said June's export order reductions have pushed Vietnam's purchasing managers' index (PMI) below the 50.0 contraction threshold for the second consecutive month. The national economy's recovery now clearly depends on stimulating domestic demand.
The commission attributed current low aggregate demand to the slashing of social investment—equal to only 29.6% of GDP in the first half of 2013 compared to the 34.5% a year earlier.
It advised boosting social investment by a significant 12–14 % from 2012's levels.
The commission still considers macroeconomic stabilisation Vietnam's primary task. The delivery of support packages should be completed as quickly as possible to assist struggling businesses.
It believes adroitly managing inflation and the macroeconomy will create useful space for any necessary adjustments to exchange rates and the market-based prices of electricity, coal, and public services.
The commission suggested that any adjustments under consideration should be clearly outlined in government roadmaps to avoid unwelcome market shocks.
Crunch time for manufacturers in July
Vietnam's manufacturing sector continued to contract in July, slowing its slide as production and new orders began levelling out. Employment finished the month unchanged.
The latest HSBC survey registers Vietnam's purchasing managers' index (PMI) at 48.5 in July, an improvement on June's 46.4 but its third successive month below the 50.0 contraction threshold.
The month's modest falls in output and new orders are said to reflect underlying market conditions impacted by a decline in clients' purchasing power.
Data indicated the net new order

2008-2009 O-Pee-Chee Premier Product Review
By Karine Hains, Editor-in-Chief
While the season is now over in the NHL, the high-end collecting season is only just starting. A few weeks ago, Upper Deck treated us to Ultimate Collection and the have now followed it up with O-Pee-Chee Premier. This year is Premier's sophomore season and if you invested in some of this product last year, you are not in for any big surprises.
As per last year, the design of the cards is polished and efficient, smart and sleek. There is definitely no fault with the overall aspect of the product and it should satisfy the fussiest customers. Unlike last year, the release does not appear to be burdened by quality control issues, that is always good news!
Box Details
Pack per box: 1
Cards per pack: 5
Base set: 42 cards – 84 cards with rookies
Price: $165.99 to $184.99
The release includes several memorabilia and autographs sets such as the Rare Remnants and the Induction Inks. Unfortunately for some, the stitchings are still around and yes, they are still manufactured patches and therefore not game-used. For many, this is fatal to the product, for me I just see it as something different to chase for the players I collect. Of course, they have never worn the patch, but it is nice to have a patch to commemorate Brodeur's 500 wins or Roy's 551 wins. However, I am rather disappointed that Brodeur's 552 wins are not depicted on one of those. In my view, there was enough time between this feat and the release of the product to be able to include it in the set.
The Break
All of the cards below were pulled during our break and are a fair representation of what you could get if you decided to invest in a box.
Card 1 – Martin St. Louis Base 224/299
Card 2 – Mr. Hockey Base Parallel 20/75
Card 3 – Cory Schneider Premier Rookie Quad-autographed jersey 58/299
Card 4 – Joe Thornton Premier Stitchings NHL Assists Leader autographed 3/50
Card 5 – Ryan Getzlaff Penmanship 38/100
Overall, this wasn't a bad break but it could definitely have been better. The swatches on the rookie jersey were all of a single color and all were blue. It could also have been interesting to short print some of the best rookies as they are all numbered to 299. A short-print top of the class always helps to increase the chase factor. Of course there are parallel versions of both the base and the rookies. Furthermore, while I have said that I do not mind the inclusion of the stitchings, this is far from being the general feeling throughout the hobby and a pull that seems like it has potential can be very hard to trade. Also, I cannot say that I am a big fan of the "cartoony" looking stitchings, have a look at the one of Ovechkin and you might figure out why he is not signing autographs for Upper Deck these days. On the autograph front, collectors will be please to know that they are hard-signed, as they should be for a high-end item like this one.
There are definitely some very nice cards to chase in this release. I love the look of the Rare Remnants and how they all spell different words or acronyms. The Induction Inks are also a great idea as more and more collectors seem to turn towards collecting Hall of Famers over the younger darlings of the hobby. In the same spirit, there are some gems in the Dynasty Duos autograph set that comprise eight cards all numbered to 100.
Final Ratings
Overall Design: 4.5/5
Value: 3/5
Fun: 4/5
Rebuy: 4/5
Variety: 4/5
Final Grade: 78%
While this was a fun break, it was over quite quickly as is always the case with high-end breaks and it felt somewhat anticlimactic. I do like this product but at this kind of price point, I do feel collectors would be better served by saving their money and shelling out on the real big gun; The Cup which will be descending upon us in July. Another of my qualms with the product is that I have seen numerous bland pieces of jerseys and quite simple patches as well, even very low-numbered one. When selling a product for this amount of money, an effort should really be made on the patch side of things.

Kansas City is the third-largest city in the U.S. state of Kansas. It is the county seat of Wyandotte County. Kansas City is a suburb of Kansas City, Missouri and is the third largest city in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area. About two million people live in this region. The city is part of the "Unified Government".[5] This also includes the cities of Bonner Springs and Edwardsville. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 146,867. The city is at Kaw Point, which is the junction of the Missouri and Kansas rivers.
History[change | change source]
Kansas City formed in 1868. It was first officially mentioned in October 1872. The Kansas-Missouri border area became the first battlefield in the conflict over slavery that led to the American Civil War. The first city election was held on October 22, 1872. It resulted in the election of Mayor James Boyle. The mayors of the city after its organization have been James Boyle, C. A. Eidemiller, A. S. Orbison, Eli Teed and Samuel McConnell. John Sheehan was appointed Marshal in 1875. He was also Chief of Police. He had the control over five policemen. In June 1880, the Governor of Kansas made the city of Kansas City a city of the second class with the Mayor Samuel McConnell present. James E. Porter was Mayor in 1910.
It was one of the 100 largest cities for many US Census counts, from 1890–1960, including 1920, when it had over 100,000 residents for the first time.[6] In 1997, voters approved a proposition to unify the city and county governments.
On March 30, 2011, Internet search company Google Inc. announced that Kansas City had been selected as the site of an experimental fiber-optic network that Google will build at no cost to the city. Kansas City was chosen from a field of 1,100 US communities that had applied for the network. Google plans to have the network in operation by 2012.[7]

Imtiaz, a resident of Ranchi, was arrested from Patna railway junction after a bomb exploded on platform number 10 Sunday morning, ahead of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's rally here.
A court of the railway magistrate here sent Imtiaz to seven days judicial custody.
"He was produced before the court of railway magistrate here late Monday night and sent to high security Beur jail under judicial custody," said Superintendent of Railway Police Upendra Kumar Singh.
Patna Senior Superintendent of Police Manu Maharaj said two separate FIRs have been lodged with the government railway police and Gandhi Maidan police stations. Six of the seven blasts took place in and around the rally venue while one blast took place at the railway station.
Additional Director General (Special Branch) Rajesh Chandra said Imtiaz, the main accused caught with bombs at the Patna junction when he tried to flee after the first blast, was interrogated and confessed to his involvement.
"Imtiaz told police that a group of six people had been divided into three groups with specific assignments to carry out the blasts," Chandra said.
Maharaj said that Patna police will take Imtiaz in police custody in a day or two.
Six people were killed and 83 were injured in seven bomb blasts in Patna. The first of the blasts ripped through a toilet at around 10 a.m. at the railway station in the heart of the city, killing one person and wounding another.
After an hour, by which time Modi had reached Patna but not the rally ground, four explosions took place inside the Gandhi Maidan, and two around it that caused a lot of panic.
The Patna railway station is located two-three kilometres from the Gandhi Maidan.

Cisco Systems Inc. said it has enough shares and shareholder commitments to take over Norway's Tandberg ASA, the world's largest videoconferencing equipment maker.
Cisco had said Thursday that stockholders representing 89 percent of the shares had accepted its $3.4 billion bid for the company — just shy of the 90 percent needed.
But on Friday, Cisco said it has bought up shares on the open market to raise its stake above 91 percent and clinch the acquisition.
It comes after a hard-fought takeover effort. Cisco's original offer of $3 billion attracted less than 10 percent of the company's shareholders. It later raised the bid.
The company also said it has received a second request for information from the Justice Department, which is looking into possible antitrust concerns from the deal.

Its actually difficult to find the correct words to describe the natural beauty of the Trotternish Ridge! See it for yourself and you will understand!
Everything is beautiful on the Isle of Skye and Trotternish Ridge is no different. We really enjoyed the scenery here and I would suggest a stop-off to take in the views it has to offer.
The scale of this ridge is simply impressive and I throughly enjoyed climbing one of its peaks near the old man of storr. There was the odd walker about, but not overrun by tourists like many parts of skye. Be sure to come prepared with a map and compass as there are no sign posts and the walking trail is... More
A lovely part of the world, views amazing and so peaceful really worth the stop of a coffee and the views and some pictures
"The Trotternish peninsula in the north east of Skye is dominated by a spectacular ridge of hills that runs for over 30km along its backbone. There are 13 named summits, from Beinn Dearg in the south to Meal na Suiramach in the north. The ridge rises to its highest point at the 719m summit of the Storr, above the tortured... More
The entire island of Skye is beautiful, but to me the Trotternish Peninsula is the jewel of the crown. Rent a car if you can, and take your time savoring the amazing scenery around every bend. I have spent time exploring here in both sun and rain, and beauty abounds in all conditions. This is a must while visiting the... More
When we went it had snowed the previous day and the tops were covered in snow which improved the already impressive views. The sun was out and the snow was melting fairly quickly which made it quite wet underfoot. We parked at the car park well above the cemetary and did a round walk past the Quiraing up onto the... More
Great natural scenery and a great spot for peace and relaxation. Every way you turn the view is impressive, when the sky is clear of course!
I was sooooooo lucky to visit there in a sunny day. I watched the sunrise. You can never imagine the beauty of those snow mountains and grassland covered by the soft golden sun colour.
The Isle of Skye is much bigger than you first think. Road trips can involve surprisingly long distances, partly because you have to drive around the many lochs, not through them! Although we didn't do much walking, the drive round the northernmost part of Skye was spectacular. Take the road up north past Portree on the eastern side; the drive... More

John Henry (later Cardinal) Newman is widely known to have been devoted to reading the Church Fathers. By exploring which Fathers interested Newman most and when, using both published and archive material, this book demonstrates the influence of the various Alexandrian theologians in different periods of Newman's life. In each of these periods, the book draws a causal connection between the patristic theology Newman was reading and his own developing theology, revealing how key events in these periods changed the theologian's interpretation of the Fathers. The book argues that ultimately Newma ... More

Tyrolean Stockings
Pattern Description from Interweave Knits, Fall 2007: "Ann Budd combines several different cables, twisted ribs, and calf decreases to give her Tyrolean Stockings rugged details - as well as snug, leg-hugging fit. The wool yarn she used is totally green: It comes from sheep raised by organic methods and is processed without dyes or chemicals to create a yarn that looks rugged but is surprisingly soft."

Symptom 1:
- It only occurs sometimes, not all the time.
- Crash seems to be in Assimp code in destructor
delete [] mIndices;
- delete [] returns but destructor doesn't
Symptom 2:
Assimp viewer also crashs when loading the attached file.
Could not reproduce the Symptom 1 crash, for me it worked every time. But you said it only appears irregularily, I'll keep an eye on it.
Symptom 2: the file you attached loads fine, no crash in both the library and the viewer.
Very strange... I nearly became desperate now because first, I also couldn't reproduce it.
But then, I tried multiple times with AssimpView.exe - File version from 10.07.2012 (Assimp3). And finally, it loaded forever and it also crashed sometimes with the attached Collada file.
It seems to me that this is more likely with the x64 version but also occurs with x86... Very strange. Especially because it doesn't occur at all at the moment with the old Assimp Viewer from 21.11.2010 (Assimp 2) where it occured yesterday all the time.
Maybe it's some random memory content and currently, I have cleaner memory than yesterday? ;-)
Maybe :-) I've tested it a few times with x64 Assimp, current revision from repository. I never encountered anything strange. But seemingly random crashes like this could also be caused by sloppy parallel programming. I've checked the loading part of AssimpView, but haven't found anything that looks problematic.
The only we could do is to keep an eye on it.

CZ-4 was a CZ-series communications/business droid manufactured by Serv-O-Droid, Inc. and possessed by Jabba the Hutt.
CZ-4 came under the ownership of Jabba the Hutt, and was modified to work as a watchdog, warning his master of any sign of threat from within or without the palace walls. The stress of his job regularly left CZ-4 feeling strained, and at times when not needed by Jabba he would temporarily switch himself off. When C-3PO and R2-D2 were brought before Jabba's supervisor droid EV-9D9 inside the palace's droid workshop, CZ-4 was resting against a wall. As C-3PO was ushered out by a Gamorrean guard, he suddenly came face to face with the motionless, skeletal-looking CZ-4, and let out a startled wail. Later, when Luke Skywalker made his appearance before Jabba requesting that Han Solo be released, CZ-4 was back up in the palace throne room.[1]
Behind the scenesEdit
The same droid prop used for CZ-3 in A New Hope was used for CZ-4 in Return of the Jedi.

EU eastern neighbours embrace Small Business Act
Year/Date: 31/03/2011
With an objective of more developed economic cooperation, the European Union and six neighbouring countries in Eastern Europe have signed up to policy cooperation framework defined by the Small Business Act for Europe (SBA). Human capital concerns top the list of policy areas with a specific focus on entrepreneurial learning and improved skills for small businesses.
At meeting in Turin on 29-30 March, top level officials from education and economy ministries of the six participating countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine), with representatives from the world of enterprise and civic society, agreed a first set of indicators to be used in a policy assessment to kick-off in each country in May 2011. The indicators cover issues such as partnership building for lifelong entrepreneurial learning, good practice exchange and baseline intelligence on enterprise skills requirements.
Welcoming guests, ETF Director Madlen Serban underscored the importance of policy cooperation in the bid for more competitive and inclusive economies in the EU's eastern neighbourhood. 'Bridging the education-economy divide is key to ensuring a better fit between the supply and demand for skills by business,' said Dr. Serban 'but with more and more interest by business in key competences, entrepreneurship promotion by the education system is a policy 'must', she added.
Loretta Handrabura, Deputy Minister of Education from Moldova was clear about her country's interest in the SBA policy drive. 'We're ready to do what it takes to accommodate the relevant SBA policy lines,' said Ms Handrabura. To reinforce cooperation and momentum, the Deputy Minister called for a regional meeting on entrepreneurial learning to be hosted by her ministry in Chisinau in late autumn.
'I very much welcome the Moldovan proposal,' said Volker Genetzky of the European Commission which is leading the policy assessment effort, in cooperation with ETF, OECD and EBRD. 'Cooperation and ownership is central to the SBA work in the Eastern neighbourhood and the Moldovan initiative characterises the high level of engagement by the countries which we have experienced here in Turin in the last two days', he added.
The meeting also agreed a stiff timetable for the countries to move forward with a review of the SBA human capital policy and where ETF experts will follow up with partner country governments in the assessment drive. A report from the overall SBA assessment is expected in March 2012.
Also attending the meeting were representatives of the OECD, ILO and SEECEL.
The ETF's policy support work in the area of entrepreneurial learning and enterprise skills in the Eastern partnership region builds on a similar effort developed in the EU pre-accession and Southern Neighbourhood regions.

Under fire over the solar panel scam, Kerala chief minister Oommen Chandy appears to have got a breather with the Congress leadership indicating that there will be no change of guard in the state.
On Friday, Chandy met Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi to explain the entire case. He also met Union ministers AK Antony and Vayalar Ravi and Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's political secretary Ahmed Patel.
Later in the evening, Chandy was felicitated for receiving the prestigious United Nations Public Service Award last month for his mass contact programme initiative, widely hailed as a unique democratic experiment during which he received 5.5 lakh petitions, of these three lakh were resolved and R22.68 crore of financial assistance distributed.
Hinting that there will be a cabinet reshuffle, Chandy said he would be the "happiest man" if state Congress chief Ramesh Chennithala was inducted in the government.
The CM also sought to reach out to Hindu caste organisations which are up in arms against his government, which they claim is dominated by Christians and Muslims. "Congress is a party of all sections. We have no reservation to anybody," he said.

- Another workout for Street Sense, this one a six furlong move in 1:13.60 at Palm Meadows. An anonymous commenter speculates that there's something wrong with him, but I think he's OK, and that Nafzger, who does his own thing, is just doing what he thinks the colt needs at this point. I wrote rather definitively a few weeks ago that he won't win the Derby, and I wanted to clarify that remark, and add that I fervently hope that he doesn't win. If he does, we may not have much to talk about in Derby trail seasons to come. I know that Sunny's Halo didn't start a trend when he won off two preps, but, as was pointed out by Gary West the other day, he had raced 11 times at age two; and besides, the "less is more" approach is one that is far more in vogue just in general now.
As far as him winning the Derby, look, he could win, but what I was trying to say is that I don't feel that his win in the Juvenile, in which the seas parted for him on the rail while others encountered severe trouble and wide trips, doesn't make him any more likely to be standing in the winner's circle on May 5 than any of a dozen other contenders, in my opinion. And that's with or without there really being a strong rail bias on BC day, something that has not really been clearly confirmed or not by the subsequent performances of the horses that ran that day. In fact, the history of the Juvenile-Derby "curse" makes it even less likely to me that he'll win, in part because I think it's very much on the mind of Nafzger, and causing him to take this approach of only two preps.
Meanwhile, Stormello is hopping a Fed Ex flight to Gulfstream for the Fountain of Youth, and I hope Bill Currin saved the tracking number somewhere in case he gets lost. "Hello, yes, I sent a horse and it didn't show up. It did, really? Do you know who signed for it? WHO? TODD WHO???"
- Robert Yates' report in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette today contradicts our Lenny's report of whispering that Hard Spun will come to the Big A for the Gotham. According to trainer Larry Jones, who indeed had some disparaging things to say about the Oaklawn surface after the Southwest, the colt has bounced back well physically since returning to the track, and is on target to face Teuflesberg in the March 17 Rebel. For some reason, I actually think a little higher of this colt in defeat, and I'm giving him another shot. I'll buy the excuse of the rail bias, and I was impressed by the wide move he made on the turn.

Curse of The Green Monkey
The Green Monkey's consignors, Randy Hartley and Dean De Renzo, suffered a major loss at Sunday's under-tack show when their Hip No. 10, a Storm Cat-Gone to the Moon colt, collapsed and died. The colt had breezed an eighth of a mile in 10.20 seconds before falling. The exact cause of death was unknown, but Fasig-Tipton official Boyd Browning confirmed the colt had not broken any limbs. The rider was uninjured. Hartley and De Renzo had purchased the Storm Cat colt for $900,000 at the Saratoga yearling sale.

My information came from Mario Pino, the jockey of Hard Spun. He said the horse hated the track and that he would likely make his next start in the Gotham. Maybe the connections changed their minds, guess we will find out in a few weeks.

The value of sown grass margins for enhancing soil macrofaunal biodiversity in arable systemsTools Smith, J., Potts, S. and Eggleton, P. (2008) The value of sown grass margins for enhancing soil macrofaunal biodiversity in arable systems. Agriculture Ecosystems & Environment, 127 (1-2). pp. 119-125. ISSN 0167-8809 Full text not archived in this repository. To link to this item DOI: 10.1016/j.agee.2008.03.008 Abstract/SummaryThe presence of a grass strip was found to be beneficial to soil macrofauna, increasing the species densities and abundances of earthworms, woodlice and staphylinid beetles. The biodiversity of the three main feeding groups - predators, soil ingesters and litter consumers - was also significantly higher in the grass strips than in the field edges without strips, indicating that establishment of grassy margins in arable fields may enhance ecosystem services such as soil fertility and pest control. The grass strip habitat contained a large number of species of soil macrofauna, being second only to hedgerow habitat, with 10% of the total species list for the farm found only within the margins. Of the rare species recorded on the farm, five of the nine were from the grass strips, four of which were found only there. This study shows that establishing grassy strips in the margins of arable fields increases the biodiversity of the soil macrofauna, both within fields (alpha diversity) and across the farm (beta diversity).

by Staff Writers Tokyo (AFP) Oct 29, 2011 The foreign ministers of Japan and India agreed Saturday at a meeting in Tokyo to accelerate joint development of rare earth mineral deposits in the South Asian country. Koichiro Gemba and his Indian counterpart S.M. Krishna also confirmed they would move forward stalled talks on a civilian nuclear cooperation pact at a joint news conference after their meeting. "The two countries will move ahead with a joint development," of rare earth deposits in India, said Gemba, quoted by Jiji Press, in line with an accord reached last year when Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh visited Japan. Japan has looked to diversify rare earth supplies for its high-tech industries -- ranging from computer components to hybrid cars -- as China, which controls more than 90 percent of global supply, has tightened its export quotas. Gemba also said the two countries "will move forward talks on the civilian nuclear cooperation pact while paying consideration to nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation," according to Jiji. The pact would allow Tokyo to export its cutting-edge nuclear technology to the energy-hungry South Asian nation, a hotly contested market for atomic plants. But negotiations on the deal have stalled after the March 11 quake and tsunami in northeast Japan triggered the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident, the world's worst since Chernobyl 25 years ago. The Japanese foreign minister said India pressed for the nuclear pact negotiations to resume despite the Fukushima disaster. "We agreed to resume negotiations at the working level so that we can surely move towards it," Gemba said. Space Technology News - Applications and Research
