ARSC Training and UAF Physics Computational Science Course
In the past, ARSC staff have been offered individual training sessions on a variety of topics. For the Spring 2004 semester, ARSC is trying a new format by supporting a 3 credit, semester long course: PHYS693, "Core Skills in Computational Science."
This course will include most of the established ARSC training, but will delve deeper. It also features lectures from Physics Department faculty members, new material from ARSC staff, labs, exercises, and outside reading.
The core skills class provides intensive training for enrolled students, while still providing distinct modules for ARSC users and researchers with limited time and/or specify interests. (The homework will, of course, be optional for attenders who are not enrolled for University credit).
All classes will be held from 9:15-11:15 AM in Gruening 211 on the Fairbanks main campus. Those interested in attending individual sessions throughout the semester MUST pre-register by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Portable Direct Unformatted I/O in Fortran
[ Thanks to Andrew Lee of ARSC for this article. ]
The Fortran standard specifies that the units for record length (recl) for direct assess unformatted files is compiler dependent. On some systems, such as the Cray X1, the recl unit is bytes. On others, such as the SX-6, the default recl unit is words. This isn't an issue until you start porting codes and files between systems where the recl units are different.
The SX-6 allows the recl unit to be changed at run-time using the environment variable, F_RECLUNIT. F_RECLUNIT can take on either of the settings, "WORD" or "BYTE." For more on this, see the SX-6 on-line Fortran manual or HPC Newsletter #260
Not all systems have an option to make the compiler conform to your code. Plus, when writing a portable code, it's best to avoid platform dependent compiler options and settings as much as possible.
This is where the Fortran INQUIRE statement is useful. The following code sample shows use of INQUIRE with the keyword IOLENGTH. It assigns the variable "reclength" the size of the variable "record_in" in recl units. As shown, the subsequent open statement with RECL=reclength will be correct when reading "record_in" records, whether the recl units are bytes, words, nibbles, or whatever.
integer,parameter :: i_size = 50, j_size=100 real*8 :: record_in(i_size,j_size) integer :: reclength inquire(iolength = reclength) record_in open(unit=10,file='file_in', & status='old',access='direct',form='unformatted',recl=reclength) read(10,rec=1) record_in close(10)
Here's a quick demonstration of Fortran's INQUIRE as well as the SX-6 F_RECLUNIT environment variable. It shows how changing the recl units changes the value of recl, although the actual size of the record remains the same:
sx6$ cat recl_test.f90 program recl_test integer,parameter :: i_size = 50, j_size=100 real*8 :: record_in(i_size,j_size) integer :: reclength inquire(iolength = reclength) record_in print*,reclength end sx6$ export F_RECLUNIT=WORD sx6$ ./recl_test 10000 sx6$ export F_RECLUNIT=BYTE sx6$ ./recl_test 40000 sx6$
Solving the recl unit problem is, of course, only one step to correctly reading an unformatted file which was generated on some other platform. Other issues include data representation (e.g., IEEE vs Cray floating point), variable size (e.g., 4 byte vs 8 byte), and record blocking (e.g., f77 vs cos).
Book Review: "A Computer Called LEO"
[ Many thanks to Guy Robinson for this review. ]
|Full Title:
|"A Computer Called LEO: Lyons Teashops and the World's First Office Computer."
|Georgina Ferry
This book chronicles the development by Lyons Teashops of what is known as the world's first office computer. A key part of Lyons business was the supply of cakes and buns to many thousands of customers in its own teashops and elsewhere, managers needed accurate information on sales and orders to ensure this business was run at a profit. Applying scientific management principles had resulted in detailed information being collected at all levels. This data was then collated by thousands of clerks using manual and early electronic adding machines. Lyons managers sought a better way to generate these reports, and to hopefully reduce the tedious work of the clerks involved so that they might be freed to attend to the business itself.
At this time several groups were involved in the construction of a variety of computing engines, seeking to take advantages of the advances in electronics that occurred during the Second World War.
Lyons staff considered carefully what parts of their business might benefit from a computer, and then they went seeking a system that would meet their needs. Eventually additional funding was offered to a group from Cambridge working on a machine for scientific computations. At this stage many of the features of modern computers were still to be developed, the book covers these briefly but pays particular attention to the needs of the business user. The need to complete complex tasks to a business driven schedule drove the development of many of the aspects of computers we now take for granted. Due to the hard work and inventiveness of the many people involved the machine was soon in production, taking on an increasing variety of tasks and completing them reliably, and in record times. The book draws particular attention to how Lyons applied the same rigour of process from the business reporting to the development of machine equivalents.
After this internal success Lyons determined that there were other companies that might benefit from their approach and embarked on selling machines. Lyons differed in approach to many of the other companies that were emerging as providers of computers at the time, they would spent a considerable time working with customers to find out their needs, understand their processes, and then work with them to develop solutions. Very often there were changes to the business process to aid the inclusion of the machine. At its height Lyons was selling a great many machines to leading companies in the UK. However international competition and the costs of maintaining leadership in a rapidly advancing technological field was too much of a challenge for a small company. Eventually the project began to encounter difficulties and following a series of mergers and partnerships this impressive leadership in the application of technology was lost.
This book provides an insight into the workings of a successful project to apply a new technology in a new arena. Many of the people named in the project were the pioneers of the application of computers and the principles they applied within the projects at Lyons set the standards for operations today. I will leave it to others to determine if the goal of reducing the tedium of work was achieved by the application of computers in business.

First, we search for the "=" in the problems. If one is found, evaluate everything before the "=" and print it, after printing the expression being evaluated. Otherwise, print the line unchanged. # # From the editor. # The magic is that little "e" after the s///.

A nice distribution for Windows users is available at: "http://www.activestate.com". # # Greg Newby # Let's presume that all the items to be solved have the same form as above: a problem followed by an equals sign and a set of dashes. So, we just need to grab the "problem" part, and send it to a program that can properly interpret and solve it. One such problem that's widely available is "bc", an arbitrary precision calculator program for Unix and Linux systems. Unlike a somewhat more common program, "dc", bc doesn't use reverse Polish notation (RPN), and can handle virtually any standard arithmetic or algebraic syntax. Since we want to make sure we get proper floating point decimal output (not truncated or rounded), we'll preface our first bc command with "scale=5" for 5 decimal places. "man bc" for more details. In my example, I saved the file with the problems to "mathproblems.txt" ( echo "scale=5" ; grep = mathproblems.txt sed 's/= ________//' ) bc The last part, " bc" is the pipe that takes the input from the first part. I'm running it in a subshell (the parentheses) so that everything on the left goes as one sequence to one "bc" command. This might not be the ideal output, since it will just list answers, not the problems or their numbers - but making prettier output (which would probably involve calling "bc" for each problem separately) is left as an exercise for the Unix/Linux programmer. The middle part of the statement will make sure that only the lines with problems are considered (those with an "="), and strip out the unneeded "= ______". Output: 23.93162 .04178 409.59 2112 865054.08 14 17 19 Q: [ Here's one from Guy Robinson. No computers allowed! ] After many years of abuse, the multiply unit of my favourite calculator finally gave out. As I've been tasked to compute the squares of all numbers from 1 to 100, I'm really not looking forward to typing in 99 and then +99, 98 times or pressing the repeat key. I guess I'd also have to repeat the calculation to make sure I'd really got the right answer to add to the effort! Any suggestions as to a better way to do this with fewer key presses and perhaps less chances of making a mistake? ps: My calculator is pretty simple, it doesn't have a log function. ;-)

Clueless Ø190 (silver) continues my investigation into the way we represent the world around us through the exploration of the politics of materials, space and aesthetics. Clueless Ø190 (silver) belongs to a network of closely related objects, paintings, photographs and installations. The works are characterised by simple, geometric forms and 'off the shelf' honesty to materials and design, and are inclined to obsessive repetition. While they are mirrors and surrogates of the quotidian, they have also been highly manipulated to make us aware of the way we see these objects through the visual codes they bring to bear and the stylistic tropes they articulate.
The object's location and prospective interaction with its environment are of relevance in the reading of the work. Set on its lean plinth, the inference of the fortune-teller's crystal ball, although not intentional, is optional when engaging with the acrylic ball. When resting on the ground such an implication is absent. A vision of perverted honesty and bordering on saccharine sentiment, Clueless Ø190 (silver) is a speculation on the charm of popular culture. It pays an oblique homage to the popular teen-film and sitcom of the same name, with their spectre of excess and artifice.
The word CLUELESS glitters and hovers in a ball machined from laminated clear acrylic where its concrete assertion, by way of materials and straight-forward plastic form, has frozen the word's intent within itself. Word and material are equally plastic; each element supports and complements the other. That which is sensed in the distorted reflections of ourselves gazing into a vacuum and looking for clues, is relocated into a pragmatic and poetic resolution of the lucid and its antonym, muddled.

I am sure that most if not all of you have a nice information board that you use to attract prospective Scouts and their families. You break it out on recruit nights and open houses, take along to community events, and generally show it off when ever the opportunities arise.
Well, tomorrow we have a crew from the Outdoor channel coming to hang out with our Troop for a week. They will be taking some of our Scouts on a week long adventure. This is a huge opportunity for our Troop, our Council, and the Boy Scouts of America to show Scouts and Scouting and tell our story! We are honored to have been chosen.
But this also became a good time to update our information board.
So, after yard work and some tinkering with the hammock.. I updated (completely overhauled) our information board.
We keep ours up all the time in the Knights of Columbus meeting Hall. This way our Charter Org. can see what we are up to and know that we are doing the right thing.
With the Troop of the Year trophy sitting prominently in the hall, as well as the Pack of the Year trophy, the Knights sponsored Cub Scout Pack won this year also, having Scouting out front is exactly where we want to be.
If you have an information board, what kind of stuff is on it? Let us know, drop a comment in the comments section, an email, or feel free to leave a voice mail by calling 503-308-8297.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Just to set the scene: one of my housemates is an art history major, and she and I were sitting at our kitchen table doing our homework one evening a few weeks ago. I was reading Frank O'Hara, and she was researching optical art. We would break for conversation frequently, and as I listened to her talk about what she was reading I realized that there were a lot of similarities between optical art and the poetry that I was reading. So I did a bit of digging of my own and I think that there are a number of parallels between op-art and the New York school of poetry as we've discussed it in class.
Op-art began to grow in popularity in the 1960s, especially after a 1965 exhibition called "The Responsive Eye," so in the same time period that the New York poets were writing. According to Optical Art: Theory and Practice, the foundation of op-art is a "non-objective perceptual response" (10). Its subject matter is abstract elements arranged in various patterns that have a striking visual impact on viewers – it is "sudden and immediate" (9). In our discussion of the New York school, one of the traits that we identified was the observational quality, especially of Frank O'Hara's poems, the record of the poet's immediate surroundings. The poetry of the New York school is also instinctive; the poems are like unfiltered streams of consciousness that illicit immediate reactions, just like op-art.
One of the best poems to illustrate the relationship between op-art and the New York school of poetry is John Ashbery's "Daffy Duck in Hollywood." In the beginning of the poem, Ashbery hits us with a barrage of allusions to make it clear that our lives are composed of constant experiences of stimuli. This is similar to the immediacy of optical art. This section of the poem also embodies the Gestalt principles that influenced op-art. The Gestalts were psychologists in the early twentieth century who believed that comprehension does not result from a step-by-step examination of a subject, but that we are capable of perceiving multiple objects as a group (9). To group elements, we use the processes of assimilation and contrast. Assimilation is a simplifying process by which we try to create uniformity between stimuli, while contrast emphasizes the differences between stimuli (13-14). Both of these processes are at play as we try to comprehend "Daffy Duck in Hollywood." Ashbery combines items in new ways that don't seem to make sense – "a mint-condition can / Of Rumford's Baking Powder, a celluloid earring, Speedy / Gonzales the latest from Helen Topping Miller's fertile / Escritoire" – and we try to find connections and similarities between them in order to make sense of the lines, a rather futile exercise (227). The contrast between the objects serves to communicate the variety of stimuli that we interact with on a daily basis.
Like viewing op-art, reading "Daffy Duck in Hollywood" is as much about the experience of reading as it is about the message of the poem. Op-art "places a binding emphasis on perception," as did Ashbery (9). At the end of the poem, the speaker states, "No one really knows / Or cares whether this is the whole of which parts / Were vouchsafed," which speaks to the allusions that Ashbery throws at readers in the first part of the poem (230). It doesn't matter whether or not we can make them into a cohesive whole – the point is that we had the experience of reading about them. The speaker continues, "Life, our / Life anyway, is between" (230). Here Ashbery seems to advocate a neutral position; all that we can do is experience the poem or the stimuli that he writes about, because we don't have complete control. Similar to viewing optical art, the experience is just as important, if not more so, than trying to find meaning in the words or images.

What Is TVW?
Station Launched In 1996
Even though it's been around for a more than a decade, some people will want to know: Just what is TVW?
Launched in 1996 as WISC-2 to a select audience of cable subscribers, TVW (Television Wisconsin) is available throughout the Madison market on digital channel 3-2, on Charter Cable channel 14, and on DirecTV channel 14.
Station management is enthusiastic about TVW's 2013/2014 schedule.
"We have Katie Couric's show at 9 p.m., we have the Wendy William's Show at 4 p.m., plus great prime time shows," said Jill Sommers, TVW director of programming and operations. "And we're excited about our sports programming."
That sports programming includes "Green and Gold Game Day," which air every Sunday during the Packers season at 10:30 a.m., and "Locker Room Live," which air every Monday during the Packers season at 6:30 p.m. These shows include previews and recaps of every Packers game, including game analysis and interviews with players and coaches. Check out their fall premiere in September.
"Katie," is the first-ever talk show starring the former "Today" host and "CBS Evening News" anchor. The program features a mixture of newsmakers and celebrities, and is taped on the day of air to allow Couric to be as timely as possible.
On the other hand, "Wendy Williams Show" is the provocative, must-see talk show at 4pm. Taped live in New York City, viewers delight over Williams' distinctive and entertaining personality, as well as diverse mix of interviews with celebrity guests plus her "Hot Topics" segment and "Ask Wendy". The show is truly a reflection on its star and host.
Other additions to the TVW schedule include drama favorites "House," which air back-to-back episodes Tuesdays at 7 p.m. , "Law & Order: SVU," which air back-to-back episodes Mondays at 7 p.m., and "Law & Order :CI," which air back-to-back episodes Wednesday at 7 p.m.
TVW also continues to stress local programming.
"TVW stands for 'Television Wisconsin' and we've always tried to stress the local, Wisconsin emphasis in our programming," said general manager Tom Bier.
That emphasis is evident in TVW's weekly local sports talk show "Sidelines," its coverage of University of Wisconsin men's basketball, its weekly Badger wrap-up "Badger Sports Report," and its daily replay of "News 3 This Morning" for those who aren't able to catch its early live airing on WISC-TV. TVW replays the live 5-7 a.m. hour block weekdays from 7-9 a.m.
TVW is available for free throughout the entire eleven-county Madison viewing area on digital channel 3-2. TVW continues to be available on channel 14 through both Charter Cable and DirecTV.

Rest in Peace, Howard. You had a helluva run up there.
Howard can i have your email address please. My private message seem to go to a conversation file....odd
Hi Howard - I was looking for information on an issue i just encountered and saw u mention a fear period? Here is my post from earlier today, do you have any familiarity or advice on what I should be doing?
"I am training a puppy who was doing great with her obedience - sit, long sit, down, etc. All of a sudden yesterday when i gave her the sit command she crept off in a submissive way. All of her training has been reward based, so the fearful response has been very frustrating / upsetting. I tried the sit command again this morning and she tried to sneak away to hide again today.
What do I do, why is she acting like this. How do I get her confidence back?
Thanks. "
Hi Julie, Nope hasn't happened yet. I had one pup who had one up at 7 weeks but at 8 weeks it had come down. Closest I've come.
Hi Howard, Have you had undescended testicles - not you...your pups?

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are higher by $10.75, or 2%, at $557.13, following positive remarks this morning by CEO Tim Cook this morning regarding the company's deal to sell the iPhone with China Mobile (CHL), signed last month.
In a piece this morning by Paul Mozur of The Wall Street Journal, China Mobile chairman Xi Guohua noted "that since it began taking preorders for the iPhone in late December, it received several million orders, signaling strong initial demand."
Cook was in a CNBC interview this morning with the channel's Eunice Yoon, ahead of the official first day of sales, this Friday, joined by chairman Xi.
"We sold more iPhone units in greater china than ever before," said Cook. Asked by Yoon about estimates of sales of perhaps 30 million extra iPhones this year from the deal, Cook said Apple looks at the deal "for the long term." Xi said he was given one of the first iPhone units made by Apple for China, the gold model 5S, and he plans to switch from using another brand of smartphone.
In the first responses from the Street, Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster writes that the remarks about several million pre-orders "is a positive read for China Mobile iPhone demand" and supports his modeling of perhaps 3 million units of iPhone from China mobile in the March quarter. He thinks Apple may forecast the quarter "~2% ahead of Street expectations" as a result.
And Wells Fargo's Maynard Um reiterates a view that "the deal is clearly positive for the company and would help to drive iPhone unit strength in FQ1 2014 as well as absorb seasonal slowing in FQ2 2014 at other carriers."
Shares of Intel (INTC) are up 20 cents, or 0.8%, at $26.72, as the stock gets yet another plaudit this morning, from BMO Capital Markets's Ambrish Srivastava, who raised his rating to Outperform from Market Perform, and raised his price target to $31 from $21, writing that "Being big Star Wars fans, we would love to say the Empire Strikes Back…however, in this case, it is more of a case of the Empire gradually making a come back. Either way, we see meaningful upside to the stock from its current levels."
In other chip news, shares of Linear Technology (LLTC) are up 71 cents, or 1.6%, at $45.90, after the company yesterday afternoon reported fiscal Q2 revenue in line with expectations but beat on the bottom line by a penny. The company forecast Q3 revenue in a range of $344.6 million to $355 million, which is higher than consensus of $345.9 million going into the report.
The company also raised its dividend a penny to 27 cents.
Terence Whalen of Citigroup, who has a Neutral rating on the stock, writes that Linear's report, the first of the analog chip makers to report the December quarter, "is a decent (but not perfect) leading indicator for the overall group due to lack of consumer exposure" and that it is "a positive overall read for broad based analog names." He recommends buying shares of Analog Devices (ADI) and Microchip Technology (MCHP) based on the report.
Shares of 3-D printing company ExOne (XONE) are down $5.59, or 9%, at $56.67, paring some losses from last night, after the company warned revenue last quarter slipped below expectations because of delays in some printer deals in various world markets.
The stock has gotten one downgrade this morning, that I can see, from Canaccord Genuity's Bobby Burleson, who cut his rating to Hold from Buy, and cut his price target to $55 from $75, writing that "multiple revisions to expectations have undermined our confidence in guidance."
Jefferies & Co.'s Peter Misek, who has a Buy rating on the stock, and a $72 price target, writes that "ExOne maintains its long-term organic annual revenue growth rate of 40% to 50% and overall, we continue to believe that ExOne is well positioned for the near-term mass manufacturing opportunity in aerospace followed by the auto mass manufacturing opportunity."
In other 3-D printing news, shares of 3D Systems (DDD) are down $3.57, or almost 4%, at $87.64, following an initiation this morning by boutique firm Stephens & Co. at Equal Weight, with a $95 price target.
Twitter (TWTR) continues on the upswing, despite two lukewarm views from the Street in the last 24 hours. This morning, Nomura's Anthony DiClemente started the stock at Neutral, with a $60 price target, preferring Google (GOOG), which he starts at Buy, with a $1,300 target.
And yesterday, FBN Securities's Shebly Seyrafi started the stock with a Sector Perform rating and a $65 target, extolling its unique social media characteristics, but warning about a lockup expiration in May of 464 million shares against the current 545 million shares outstanding, and 223 million-share float.
Shares of Micron Technology (MU) are down 10 cents, or 0.4%, at $23.57, despite an encouraging article this morning by DigiTimes's Josephine Lien and Jessie Shen stating that DRAM supplies industry-wide are expected to remain tight this year, citing multiple unnamed "industry sources."

Hope for patients suffering from opioid-induced constipation - AstraZeneca released results from its Kodiac-08 long-term safety trial of naloxegol
Singapore: AstraZeneca released results from its Kodiac-08 open-label, randomized, 52-week, long-term safety trial of naloxegol versus usual care (UC) in patients with non-cancer related pain and opioid-induced constipation (OIC). This is the fourth trial in the naloxegol phase III development programme, and was designed to evaluate the long-term safety and adverse event profile of naloxegol in patients taking 25 mg once daily, as compared to UC.
In the trial, a total of 534 patients received naloxegol once daily for up to 52 weeks, while 270 patients received UC for OIC during the same treatment period. The most commonly reported adverse effects occurring more frequently on naloxegol than on usual care included abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea and headache. The trial reported no imbalances in serious adverse events. There were no increases from baseline levels in mean daily pain scores or mean total daily opioid dose in either the naloxegol or the UC arm.
Dr Briggs Morrison, executive vice president, global medicines development, AstraZeneca, said that, "These high-level results are similar to the safety results seen in the phase III studies previously reported and provide further confidence in the data we've seen to date for naloxegol. We have now completed our core phase III programme and we are pleased to advance naloxegol toward a regulatory submission later this year."
A New Drug Application (NDA) filing in the US and a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) filing in the EU are planned for the third quarter of 2013, pending AstraZeneca's final preparation of the registration package and a pre-NDA meeting with the FDA.
Naloxegol is currently considered a schedule II controlled substance by the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) based on structural relatedness to noroxymorphone. AstraZeneca has conducted the studies necessary to evaluate the abuse potential and dependence-producing properties of naloxegol in support of obtaining decontrol. A petition for the decontrol of naloxegol was submitted to the DEA in March 2012 and subsequently accepted for review. Commercialization and launch in the US will be subject to both FDA approval and DEA schedule determination.

Player Study: Jeff Withey (University of Kansas)
No this is another player that has come on strong in the pas couple of weeks, I am talking about the big man in Kansas no not Thomas Robinson but Jeff Withey. Last year I was doing evaluations for the 2011 NBA draft breaking down tape late at night. Kansas was on my computer screen as the Morris twins were the next on the report list. I noticed a big kid that didn't get much time , but caught my eye with his activity level. He had everything a big man needed size, strength, activity, and not afraid to mix it up. The first thing that I did was check out his numbers , which were less than flattering. I immediately called one of my best friends that was an assistant with a team in his conference and asked him about Withey. He told me that he was decent, but very far away. He asked me what I thought and I told him the truth that in the short time that I watched him he should be a lottery pick in the 2011 draft. He thought I was nuts and should continue to watch him. I remember back to other players that I quickly made judgments on had some hits (Tyrus Thomas,Paul Milsap, and Roy Hibbert) and some misses (Patrick O'Bryant, Joey Graham, and DaJuan Summers*jury isn't out yet on him). Wanting to make sure that I didn't jump the gun I continued to watch. Yes he was a little quirky sometimes on the court and seemed to be distant at times there was something that I really liked. I think at the end of the day my friend thought I was crazy which wouldn't be the first or the last time people would think this of me. Sometimes it's not the stats a player puts up or what others have to tell you about them, but just a hunch or feeling you get when watching them. With Jeff it jumped out at me he will make it based on his energy and size.
There have been many blog posts on this site about activity in big men. I don't think there can ever be a word that can make or break a post player's career than that one. This game is all about production and looking the part. If you want to get to the highest-level possible you need to start looking the part. In big men its simply rebounding the ball, moving your feet, and being active.
The skill that can get Jeff Withey in a game is his ability to rebound at a high level, block shots, and score around the basket. I don't think he'll be the type of player where coaches will run plays to him that's not his skill set. He'll run the floor, clean up misses for put-backs, and duck in on the weakside for hooks in the lane. Sometimes you have to look past the weaknesses a player has and understand that most players have 1 skill that they bring to the table. Win or lose Jeff Withey brings energy every night and plays hard. He may never be a consistent scoring option, but he will always rebound and block shots.
If I am picking in the mid to late lottery as an NBA GM it will be tough to pass on Jeff Withey. His size, ability to rebound, and activity will make it almost impossible to fail. Every player is a mystery in some way so I guess there is no guarantee. Obviously it's a little scary when a player doesn't looked engaged every night, but I think with his present success maybe the light will go on that he can do that every night. If his last three games are any indication (25 pts 5 rebs 3 blks vs Baylor, 18 pts 20 rebs 7 blks vs OK State, and 18 pts 11 rebs 9 blks vs KSU) of what he can do every night Withey can play for a long time. I think he can be a better Andris Biedrins or at least Jeff Foster.
Sometimes when you are evaluating players at any level the can't miss stars are always on your mind. You may want to take a chance on that player who has a bad attitude or low energy level because they have star potential. Then there are the players that may or may not be great but won't fail. I think the third option sums up Jeff Withey. I think a team at the high school, college, or pro level need players like Jeff because they play hard every night, don't need the ball in their hands, and they have size. I think Jeff will have a long career playing baring injury or any other fluke incident.
This is yet another example of a player that will make it not because they are a phenom but because they have size, play hard, and are active on every play. There are places for big men like this at every level and it's a shame not every post player wouldn't take this to heart. If you have size and play focused with effort and energy you can play for a long time. Hopefully this will be the article that wakes someone up, if not bet your ass there will be another.

Constipation is most often defined as having a bowel movement less than 3 times per week. It usually is associated with hard stools or difficulty passing stools. You may have pain while passing stools or may be unable to have a bowel movement after straining or pushing for more than 10 minutes.
Irregularity of bowels; Lack of regular bowel movements
Normal bowel movements are different for each person. You may not have a bowel movement every day. Although some healthy people always have soft or near-runny stools, others have firm stools, but have no trouble passing them.
When you rarely have a bowel movement, or it takes a lot of effort to pass stool, you have constipation. Passing large, wide, or hard stools may tear the anus, especially in children. This can cause bleeding and may lead to an anal fissure.
Constipation is most often caused by:
Stress and travel can also contribute to constipation or other changes in bowel habits.
Other causes of constipation may include:
Constipation in children often occurs if they hold back bowel movements when they aren't ready for toilet training or are afraid of it.
Children and adults should get enough fiber in their diet. Vegetables, fresh fruits, dried fruits, and whole wheat, bran, or oatmeal cereals are excellent sources of fiber. To reap the benefits of fiber, drink plenty of fluids to help pass the stool.
For infants with constipation:
Regular exercise may also help establish regular bowel movements. If you are confined to a wheelchair or bed, change position often. Also do abdominal exercises and leg raises. A physical therapist can recommend exercises that you can do.
Stool softeners (such as those containing docusate sodium) may help. Bulk laxatives such as psyllium may help add fluid and bulk to the stool. Suppositories or gentle laxatives, such as milk of magnesia liquid, may help you have regular bowel movements.
Enemas or stimulant laxatives should only be used in severe cases. These methods should be used only if fiber, fluids, and stool softeners do not provide enough relief.
Do NOT give laxatives or enemas to children without first asking your doctor.
Call your doctor immediately if you have sudden constipation with abdominal cramps and you cannot pass gas or stool. Do NOT take any laxatives.
Also call your doctor if you have:
Call your child's pediatrician right away if:
Also call your child's pediatrician if:
Your doctor will perform a physical examination, which may include a rectal exam, and will ask questions such as:
The following tests may help diagnose the cause of constipation:
Avoiding constipation is easier than treating it, but involves the same lifestyle measures:

While there are a growing number of entrepreneurship education opportunities and resources available in Kansas City, few are focused on training teens to start their own business.
Last week, the Kauffman Foundation hosted a pilot project called Teen Idea Labs. The daylong workshop is the brainchild of small business owner William Robison. He came up with the notion of instructing teens about business skills while trying to explain to his own children what he did for a living. Robison currently owns and operates Storybook Realty a niche real estate firm.
"I believe that the future of tech is younger and younger," Robison said. "These teenagers will be the prime consumers of tomorrow's products. Why not give them the opportunity to develop some of those products but also foster conversations with mentors that could learn from them as well?"
Thirty teenagers, aged 13 to 18, began the day by attending the weekly educational meetup called 1 Million Cups, where they heard actual entrepreneurs pitching their companies to a live audience. Afterwards, the teens brainstormed potential problems that they could solve with a new product or service.
"Sometimes the people who solve the most challenging engineering problems are the youngest people that don't understand that there is supposed to be a barrier," Robison said.
After identifying problems to solve, the teens worked to develop solutions for those problems with the goal of identifying the single best benefit for a potential consumer. After discussing how to pitch ideas with confidence, each team gave a short presentation.
Mentors from Kansas City's entrepreneurship community were on hand throughout the day to coach and instruct the students using real world examples.
Luke Gaeddert, a student participating in the workshop said, "I want to study entrepreneurship in college. I find it useful talking to people who are actually doing it and living it."
Robison hopes to expand the program. "I envision something quarterly," he said.

The influential American glass artist Richard Marquis first visited Australia in 1974, demonstrating his glassblowing techniques and advising on the establishment of glass workshops in several centres. His work strongly influenced a number of Australian glass artists.
While Marquis' blown glass objects are based on functional forms such as the teapot, his approach renders them functionless, using almost cartoon-like exaggeration of form and decoration to bring humour to the work. Marquis is a master of the complex techniques of Italian murrini and millefiori glass he uses to build the intricate patterns and depth of decoration that characterise his quirky objects.

The fourth annual Jeremy Scholarship Gala took place on Thursday, April 7 at Lighthouse on the Creek in Mount Pleasant. Hosted by the Chuck and Sara Calhoun Davis Foundation and the College of Charleston's School of Education, Health, and Human Performance, the event featured an extensive silent and live auction, as well as live music.
Guests sipped cocktails while placing bids in the silent auction before heading over to the delicious spread of heavy hors d'oeuvres from Hamby's Catering. After grabbing plates piled high with cheeses, smoked salmon and cucumbers, pasta with vodka sauce, and small sweet bites, partygoers took part in the live auction or enjoyed the view over Shem Creek.
Jeremy's Gala benefits the Jeremy Warren Vann Memorial Scholarship, which funds teacher education candidates during their clinical practice semester. The Jeremy Warren Vann Memorial Scholarship was founded by the Chuck and Sara Calhoun Davis Foundation in 1999 in commemoration of their son who planned to teach disadvantaged Native American children, but lost his life in a tragic car accident.

Before we meet today's author, I want to announce that the winner of the drawing for The Six-Liter Club, by Harry Kraus, is:
kfp10596@ . . .
Congratulations! I'll contact you today for your snail mail address, and we'll get your book to you right away. I encourage readers to keep commenting and/or subscribe at right in order to participate in future book give-aways!
Now let's meet novelist Allie Pleiter, author of Mission of Hope (Steeple Hill Love Inspired Historical, August 2010).
An avid knitter, coffee junkie, and devoted chocoholic, Allie Pleiter writes both fiction and non-fiction. The enthusiastic but slightly untidy mother of two, Allie spends her days writing books, buying yarn, and finding new ways to avoid housework. Allie hails from Connecticut, moved to the midwest to attend Northwestern University, and currently lives outside Chicago, Illinois. The "dare from a friend" to begin writing has produced two parenting books, twelve novels, and various national speaking engagements on faith, women's issues, and writing.
Please tell us five random things we might not know about you.
-- I'm probably the only romance author you've ever met who's actually had amnesia.
-- I was a theater major in college and have extensive training in mime.
-- I own six translations of Beowulf and am literate in the original language.
-- I'm six feet tall (okay, anyone who's met me might have figured that out).
-- I was once a singing telegram deliverer for Western Union.
Wow! I knew about the amnesia (no one believes me when I tell them about you!), but all of the other items are news to me. You're one interesting, tall lady!
Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Mission of Hope.
Mission of Hope is the sequel to my San Francisco historical, Masked by Moonlight. I'll let the back cover copy tell the story...Steeple Hill did a great job with this:
No one knows who he is or where he's from. But witnesses throughout San Francisco report a masked man in black is bringing supplies--and badly needed hope--to homeless earthquake survivors. Some believe that the city's gallant rescuer is a gentleman of wealth. But others whisper that he is a working class man with courage as great as his faith. And rumor has it that one of the city's most spirited society belles is helping him against her family's wishes. What can be confirmed is that the masked messenger will need more than a miracle to escape those on his trail--and win the woman risking everything to save him...
What is it about your lead character that will make your readers care about him?
Quinn is dashing and resourceful. He has a marvelous inner integrity that many people would never attribute to someone from his circumstances. He goes after his goals with an abandon I think most of us would like to possess. Well, then there's the handsome and charming bit...I think that helps, too.
Sure doesn't hurt! Why will readers enjoy your novel?
Okay, forget the bit that it's about an earthquake...it's a marvelously hopeful story. There's humor and love and surprises because even under such dire circumstances, life does go on. It's the kind of story that makes you feel as though you might find it within yourself to conquer whatever's ahead of you. Wouldn't any of us like to know we possess that kind of courage?
Excellent point, Allie. That's the kind of thing we prefer not be tested, but we hope is in our nature.
If you were the casting director for the film version of your novel, who would play your lead roles?
Actually, I always cast my books with celebrities...I think it helps the art department know how I see my characters. Of course, I often fiddle with ages and chronology to get the effect I want, so often the casts could never happen in real life.
For this book I cast Kate Hudson as Nora.
And Leonardio DiCaprio as Quinn.
I kind of fiddled with ages in finding pics for this, too, Allie. I wanted to post Leo in a shot where he looked more like your hero looks on the book cover. He may be a bit young in the photo. And Kate's look seems to fit the era, although she's not as blonde as she probably should be.
How important to the story is your book's setting?
Huge. After all, it is the San Francisco earthquake, so the setting is almost a character in itself. The destruction--or more precisely the restoration after the destruction--is the driving force behind characters and plot.
What is the last book you read that moved you?
I just finished Sharon Hinck's The Restorer (yes, it does take a while for things to get to the top of my to-read pile), and I loved how she wove a recognizable mom character into such a completely foreign world. It's also a book about courage, so it really resonated with me.
What are you working on now?
I'm slated to do another Love Inspired contemporary and then another historical set in WWI South Carolina. My next book out will be Yukon Bride in early 2011. It's the lead book in the Alaskan gold rush series that serves as the historical "prequel" to the current contemporary Treasure Creek series now out.

World Bank / IMF Fact Sheet
What are the IMF and World Bank?
The IMF and World Bank have been empowered by the governments which control it (led by the U.S., the U.K., Japan, Germany, France, Canada, and Italy -- the "Group of 7," which holds over 40% of the votes on their boards) with imposing economic austerity policies in the countries of the so-called "Third World" or "global South." Once Southern countries build up large external debts, as most have, they cannot get credit or cash anywhere else and are forced to go to these international institutions and accept whatever conditions are demanded of them. None of the countries has emerged from their debt problems; indeed most countries now have much higher levels of debt than when they first accepted IMF/World Bank "assistance."
Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs)
The World Bank is best known for financing big projects like dams, roads, and power plants, supposedly designed to assist in economic development, but which have often been associated with monumental environmental devastation and social dislocation. In recent years, about half of its lending has gone to programs indistinguishable from the IMF's: austerity plans that "reform" economic policies by suffocating the poor and inviting corporate exploitation.
Although the IMF finally got some of the criticism due it with the East Asian financial crisis (where it imposed austerity programs on South Korea, Indonesia, and Thailand), the two institutions continue to be the chosen tools of the political and business elites for ruling the global economy, and run, to one degree or another, about 90 Southern countries' economies. These countries are forced to adopt policies even more committed to deregulation and withdrawal of government from insuring public welfare than those in the U.S. Considering how impoverished many of these countries were to start with, the effects of these policies have been predictably devastating. The of "emerging market success stories" we sometimes read about generate wealth which goes to very small segments of the populations, and much of it ends up in the North. The great majority of the people of the South are enduring increased poverty, decreased access to basic services, and decreased control over their own economies.
- The IMF/World Bank conditions -- "structural adjustment programs" -- force Southern countries to promote sweatshops, exports to rich countries, and high-return cash investment. The resulting increase in international commerce -- corporate globalization -- led to demands by corporations and investors for ways to lock in their privileges and protection against the perceived danger of governments seizing assets or imposing new regulations. The WTO was the answer to those demands, an institution whose secret tribunals can overrule national laws if they are found to violate the rights of corporations.
SAPs Work for Corporations and Elites--Impoverish the Rest
How--and why--do the structural adjustment programs that the IMF & World Bank impose create conditions that multinational corporations desire and that devastate most people in the Southern countries? A look at the most common SAP conditions show how economic "advice" is used to maintain the interests of the wealthy at the expense of continued suffering for the bulk of the people.
(Corporations, Investors, Wealthy)
|Cut Social Spending: Reduce expenditures on health, education, etc.
[IMF claims it is now making sure such spending goes up, but often it's to put in place systems to collect fees.]
|More debts repaid, including to World Bank and IMF.
|Increased school fees force parents to pull children--usually girls--from school. Literacy rates go down.
Poorly-educated generation not equipped for skilled jobs
Higher fees for medical service mean less treatment, more suffering, needless deaths.
Women, already overburdened, must provide healthcare and caretaking for family members.
|Shrink Government: Reduce budget expense by trimming payroll and programs.
|Fewer government employees means less capacity to monitor businesses' adherence to labor, environmental, and financial regulations
Frees up cash for debt service
|Massive layoffs in countries where government is often the largest employer
Makes people desperate to work at any wage
|Increase Interest Rates: to combat inflation, increase interest charged for credit and awarded to savings
|Investors find country a profitable place to park cash, though they may pull it out at any moment
Small farmers and businesses can't get capital to stay afloat.
Small farmers sell land, work as tenants or move to worse lands.
Businesses shut down, leaving workers unemployed
|Eliminate Regulations on Foreign Ownership of Resources and Businesses
Multinational corporations can purchase or start enterprises easily
Countries compete for foreign investment by offering tax breaks, low wages, free trade zones
Once in the country, corporations can turn to WTO for enforcement of "rights"
|Control of entire sectors of economy can shift to foreign hands
Governments offer implicit pledges not to enforce labor and environmental laws.
|Eliminate Tariffs: Stop collecting taxes on imports; these taxes are often applied to goods which would compete with domestically-produced goods
Allows foreign goods easy access to domestic markets
Makes luxury items cheaper for those in the country
Allows country to comply with WTO agreements
Makes it harder for domestic producers to compete against better-equipped and richer foreign suppliers
Leads to closure of businesses and layoffs
|Cut Subsidies for Basic Goods: Reduce government expenditures supporting reduced cost of bread, petroleum, etc.
|Frees up more money for debt payments
|Raises cost of items needed to survive
Most frequent flashpoint for civil unrest
|Re-orient Economies from Subsistence to Exports: Give incentives for farmers to produce cash crops (coffee, cotton, etc.) for foreign markets rather than food for domestic ones; encourage manufacturing to focus on simple assembly (often clothing) for export rather than manufacturing for own country; encourage extraction of valuable mineral resources
|Produces hard currency to pay off more debts
Law of supply and demand pushes down price of commodities as more countries produce more, meaning guaranteed supply of low-cost products to export markets
Local competition eliminated for multinational corporations
Increased availability of low-cost labor
|Law of supply and demand pushes down price of commodities as more countries produce more, meaning local producers often lose money
Best lands devoted to cash crops; poorer land used for food crops, leading to soil erosion
Food security threatened
Women often relegated to gathering all food for family while men work for cash
Makes country more dependent on imported food and manufactured goods
Forests and mineral resources (oil, copper, etc.) over-exploited, leading to environmental destruction and displacement
So Why Do Countries Agree to SAPs?
With such unpopular policies, it is the rare government that can "sell" structural adjustment to its people, especially after 20 years of similar failed policies. The slogan "short-term pain for long-term gain" sounds hollow when people have heard it for a whole generation. SAPs encourage instability in democratic countries by forcing elected governments to institute measures which make them illegitimate among their people. It has been argued that the IMF prefers dictatorships to democratic governments, because dictators can more successfully impose SAPs. And once the rules are in place the WTO extends the attack on democracy by overruling any regulations that corporations claim interfere with their right to profits.
The fact that institutions based in Washington and largely controlled by the U.S. Treasury Department have been starving peoples around the world for two decades is a scandal. That people in the U.S. are barely aware of the fact is a disgrace.
SAPs are anti-democratic in more than one way. The institutions are correct in saying that the plans are formulated in part, and agreed to, by the governments. But the government officials involved are usually limited to the Finance Ministry and the Central Bank, usually among the most conservative, Northern-educated, and wealthy members of the government -- in other words, those most likely to agree with IMF economics and benefit from the policies. In many cases even they feel coerced into going along with IMF/World Bank demands. If they don't cooperate, the consequence can be a complete cut-off of credit because other lenders follow the lead of these institutions.

SP, xlf flush_ and -qextname
An IBM XLF Fortran user experienced trouble porting his code this week. Compilation was fine, but the linker reported the routine, FLUSH, as an unresolved external reference.
The solution was to append an underscore to the name, like this:
CALL FLUSH_ (7) !!! Flush IO buffer to file
Another alternative would have been to link with the xlf option, "-qextname". From "man xlf".
-qextname[=name1[:...[namen]]] -qnoextname Adds an underscore to the names of global entities (external names), except for main program names.
Here's an explanation of the situation, from the XL Fortran User Guide:
The -qextname option helps to port mixed-language programs to XL Fortran without modifications. Use of this option avoids naming problems that might otherwise be caused by: - Fortran subroutines, functions, or common blocks that are named main, MAIN, or have the same name as a system subroutine - Non-Fortran routines that are referenced from Fortran and contain an underscore at the end of the routine name Note: XL Fortran Service and Utility Procedures, such as flush_ and dtime_, have these underscores in their names already. By compiling with the -qextname option, you can code the names of these procedures without the trailing underscores. - Non-Fortran routines that call Fortran procedures and use underscores at the end of the Fortran names - Non-Fortran external or global data objects that contain an underscore at the end of the data name and are shared with a Fortran procedure If your program has only a few instances of the naming problems that -qextname solves, you may prefer to select new names with the -brename option of the ld command. Restrictions: You must compile all the source files for a program, including the source files of any required module files, with the same -qextname setting.
X1, ftn -s default64
The Cray X1 Fortran compiler, ftn, has the option "-s default64" which changes the size of default type variables to 64-bits. For instance,
REAL :: x !!! would become 64-bit with -s default64 REAL(KIND=4) :: x !!! would remain 32-bit with -s default64 INTEGER :: j !!! would become 64-bit with -s default64 INTEGER(KIND=4) :: j !!! would remain 32-bit with -s default64
It's tempting to apply the -s default64 option to your compilation without a second thought, especially if porting from the SV1ex or T3E, where 64-bits is already the default. However, unless you know you need 64-bit precision for all default type variables, you might try -s default32 (the default default :-) or -s real64, first.
Here are some considerations:
If 32 bits provide adequate precision, there are two obvious advantages to using it. The required memory is halved for the affected arrays and memory bandwidth (as measured in words) can potentially be doubled.
Some library calls require 32-bit, only, integer arguments. For instance, our friend FLUSH, and OMP_SET_NUM_THREADS. A program containing this call:
CALL FLUSH (7)will core dump if compiled with "-s default64" because the literal integer "7" is stored with a 64-bit representation while "FLUSH" requires a 32-bit argument.
Assuming you need 64-bit default integers and compile with -sdefault64, here are three possible code modifications to solve the problem:
define the literal "7" to be of kind 4: CALL FLUSH (7_4)
Convert "7" at run time to kind 4: CALL FLUSH (INT (7, KIND=4))
Call the flush routine with a variable or parameter of kind 4: INTEGER(KIND=4), PARAMETER :: fileunit=7 ... CALL FLUSH (fileunit)
Alternatively, when compiling with -s default64 , also compile with: -A FTN_LIB_DEFINITIONS This provides generic interface headers to some of the library routines (including FLUSH). Note, though, that some other library routines, like OMP_SET_NUM_THREADS, aren't handled by "-A FTN_LIB_DEFINITIONS".
The BLACS and Scalapack libraries don't have default64 versions yet.
If you do need -s default64, note that REALs become 64-bit, "single precision" becomes 64-bit, and "double precision" becomes 128-bit. Unless you really need 128-bit precision for DOUBLE PRECISION variables, you should also compile with -dp, which disables double precision and keeps DOUBLE PRECISION variables at 64-bits.

Too Clever?

Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ Is there a way to invalidate my kerberos ticket before I trot off [[ to lunch? It seems a little risky to leave valid tickets sitting on [[ my workstation when I'm not around. # # Thanks once again to Greg Newby: # kdestroy. or "kdestroy -a". "man kdestroy" for information. This will work on your Unix/Linux workstations, or via the command line on Mac OS X. If you're using the Windows Kerberos package, you can just select a ticket in the Kerberos window, then hit the "delete" key. Q: I almost always need my loadleveler script to start executing in the same directory from which I "llsubmit" it. Thus, my first executable command is generally a "cd" right back to whatever that directory is. Sometimes I copy a script to a new directory and forget to change the "cd" command, and of course then everything goes wrong. Any advice?

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
The Borrowed Gun
Beware the borrowed gun. I heard those words early in my turkey hunting career, and they still ring true. However, because of need or industry obligation, you'll eventually end up using a loaner shotgun.
I was in that situation two springs ago in Nebraska. Sure, I'd lugged my trusty 870 700-some miles from my Wisconsin home, but when I arrived at camp, my host requested that I use a shotgun from one of the hunt sponsors. What could I say?
After patterning the gun, I determined that it threw a decent pattern but shot high. I'd just have to aim low. The next morning, I toted the borrowed gun to the woods.
Sure enough, soon after lunch, I struck two pepper-hot gobblers near a cottonwood ridge. I sat quickly, yelped once more and readied the borrowed gun. Within seconds, a gobbler charged into view at 30 steps and periscoped his head high.
Bam. Miss.
No matter. The lead bird ducked behind a deadfall at the shot, but the noise startled the trailing gobbler, which took a step forward and held its head high.
Bam. Miss No. 2.
Uh-oh. I was two-thirds of the way to blowing a dream hunt, and both gobblers were turning to run away. I had obviously shot over their heads, but by how much? In the next millisecond, I had to decide whether to take a third shot at the fleeing birds or swallow my losses and get a new gun.
What would you do? Post your choice below, then click here to see how things really turned out.

text: Hey all, was at Long Beach Cali wal mart today found 2 SL TC-14's amongst a gaggle of other great stuff (no new wave 7 yet) went to go purchase my wares and the cashier runs both TC's over the scanner and she says she can't sell them to me. So I ask her, very nicely of course if I could speak to a manager and the manager comes and scans the TC's and she show's me that it says "DO NOT SELL, RECALL"?? I saw it with my own eyes and they took the TC's away from me to the back room NOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo! Seriously though I understand but I wish they could have told me why they were recalled, but they did not know. Just wanted to share that with everyone, I'm curious to see if this was a fluke or not!

On June 26 attendees at a weeklong World Intellectual Property Organization diplomatic conference in Beijing finalized the Beijing Treaty on Audiovisual Performances. With an unprecedented high level of attendance and encouragement from global stars, including actors Antonio Banderas and Meryl Streep, negotiators from WIPO's member states agreed to grant audiovisual performers the level of protection that audio performers have enjoyed since the 1996 WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty entered into force in 2002. The Beijing treaty will enter into force after it has been ratified by 30 countries. Register of Copyrights Maria Pallante attended as part of the U.S. delegation and said, "The Beijing Treaty is an important step forward in protecting the performances of television and film actors throughout the world." After a dozen years of negotiations, conclusion of the agreement was hailed by the MPAA, RIAA and SAG-AFTRA.
Negotiations of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement resume today in San Diego. May saw an uptick in activist pressure for greater transparency. Last week pressure was compounded by two Congressional letters to U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk and the launch of a new activist coalition campaign.
On June 25 U.S. Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator Victoria Espinel announced "the process of gathering input for the administration's new strategy for intellectual property enforcement," as explained more fully in a Federal Register notice published the next day. Comments are due by July 25 at Regulations.gov under the docket number OMB-2012-0004-0002. Espinel's June 21 keynote at the American Association of Independent Music's Indie Week 2012 in New York provided a digest of the issues especially prepared for music people. She reviewed law enforcement, private sector practices, potential new legislation, and helping other countries and new legitimate platforms develop. "Because of the complication and scope and the intensity of this problem, we really need to be addressing this in as many ways as we can simultaneously," said Espinel. "I think it's critical that it be all of these together." Espinel also described her 5-year-old son's music interests, which include the piano and watching YouTube to learn how to play other instruments.
British regulators Ofcom and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport made announcements on June 26 to bring forward plans under the Digital Economy Act that should result in infringing broadband customers receiving warning letters in 2014. Ofcom posted two new consultations on updated revisions to the law's draft code for implementation. The deadline for comments on procedures to notify customers and hear appeals from accused customers is July 26, and the deadline for comments on cost-sharing between Internet service providers and copyright owners is Sept. 18. As previously announced, the DCMS will be removing provisions for the government to impose obligations on ISPs to block infringing websites. This was previously considered unworkable in practice but has since proved unnecessary in light of copyright owners' successful progress in court, obtaining orders for ISPs to block Newzbin2 and the Pirate Bay.
On June 20 the Danish Ministry of Culture announced that the country's ISPs are expected to sign a code of conduct by fall, agreeing to respond as a group to court orders instructing a single ISP to block infringing websites.
