- Ten awesome Super Nintendo RPG games you should probably play at least once in your life.
I'm not sure if I should be proud or just plain sad to say that I've only completed five of the ten games on this list. Oh whatever, I'm proud - those were good times. For those of you who would like to relive the Super Nintendo glory days check out the OpenEmu project. It's a fantastic iTunes-like emulator for Mac that is currently under development (thanks Ant).

- Buy some video games while supporting charity via Humble Indie Bundle 7.
Need some new games to play and want to help charity out at the same time? The seventh annual Humble Indie Bundle is here just in time for the holidays. Pay what you want and enjoy cross-platform DRM free games from some great gaming developers.
- Creators of Zork series to receive Pioneer Award.
If you Google hard enough you can most likely find a web-based version of the original Zork for those of you looking to take a step back into text-adventuring nostalgia. You are still likely to be eaten by a grue.

- Merry Dukemas! Gog.com giving away Duke Nukem 3D for the holidays.
I have fond memories of playing Duke Nukem 3D in college as it was my first real networked game with my fellow nerd-type college friends that we could all partake in. Mind you this was way before your traditional online multiplayer we know today, before the Halos and Call of Duties, and way before kids screaming obscenities at other adults through Xbox headsets were the norm. I'm surprised to see that the game still holds up well jaggy pixels and all. Hey, you can even snag a Mac port of the game - hurry offer ends while supplies last (you have until December 14 and supplies won't run out).

- Upcoming Star Wars 1313 video game getting some helping hands from all facets of LucasFilms.
Now that Disney has acquired LucasArts some interesting news is starting to trickle out regarding their games division. It seems that all of the different entities under LucasFilms such as Industrial Light and Magic, Skywalker Sound, Lucas Animation, and LucasArts are all collobarating on this next generation title. Star Wars 1313 will take place in the seedy underbelly of Corsuscant which alone sounds like an interesting premise. Whatever does come out of this Disney/Lucas effort it will most likely be better than The Force Unleashed 2 by default (zing).

- Telltale's episodic adapation of The Walking Dead wins Game of the Year award.
If you haven't played any games from Telltale now would be a good time to start. I've been a big fan of Telltale early on as they managed to take some classic yet seemingly abandoned LucasArts franchises (Sam and Max, Monkey Island) and restore them with new storylines and fun adventures. That being said, I've heard wonderful things about their latest offering with Kirkman's series and how it takes adventure gaming to an entirely different level. Truth be told, I haven't tried out The Walking Dead yet but I plan to in the near future. Congratulations to the entire Telltale Games team!

- A video review of the next Legend of Zelda game due out on November 20th for the Nintendo Wii.
GameTrailers sums up everything you would need to know about The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword in under ten minutes for your viewing pleasure. I've always had a real soft spot for Zelda games. This title may force me to blow the dust off of the old Nintendo Wii and hook it up via nine-hundred multi-colored component cables once again. Also, as the review demonstrates, the Wii really shows it's age with the graphics and lack of voice acting here. In the end though, it still looks like it will be an utterly fantastic Zelda game.

- Nintendo hard at work to find way to use more than one tablet for their next console.
It seems that Nintendo had originally planned to have only one controller / tablet accessible to the Wii U at launch time (the other controller would have been your standard Wii-mote variety). Someone at Nintendo must have realized that this would probably be a bad idea so they have been hard at work at trying to make two tablets work for the console. The console's processor and RAM constraints may have played a part in pairing a singular tablet. However, Nintendo may have solved this so multi-tablet gaming may be coming to a living room near you.

- Nintendo shareholders would really like to see Mario on the iPhone, sooner than later.
It's an interesting time these days for video game consoles. That is of course, if you happen to be a company called Nintendo. Nintendo's latest handheld has been officially declared as a flop (even by Nintendo itself) and the price has been reduced not long after release. The caliber of games you can find on the iPhone and iPad do rival what you can find on a Nintendo handheld - and at a much cheaper cost ($40 compared to often times $1-2). It should be interesting to see how this all plays out.

- The Humble Indie Bundle is back again, get yourself some indie games for cheap.
If you want to try out some new video games for an obscenely low amount of money (potentially free... if you're the evil type) then the Humble Indie Bundle is just the ticket. There is no DRM on any of these titles and they even throw in a Steam key for those so inclined who happen to shun all other gaming platforms. But the best part of this is that you also get to support some awesome charities with your purchase, with the option on how you want your purchase divided up between developers and said charities. Wow.

- Guitar Hero franchise not quite dead yet, gets upgraded to mostly dead.
It turns out there is still money to be made from selling plastic guitars and other assorted musical peripherals for console gaming. Activision Blizzard has stated that the franchise will indeed be making a return and that the experience will be reinvented, rebooted, retooled, whatever you want to call it. Hey Activision, please make sure that whatever you release at least works with my existing dusty plastic peripherals. Thanks.

- App of the Week: Game Dev Story
Rarely does an iPhone game catch my attention let alone force me to become so addicted to it that I abandon posting to my newly launched website for an entire two days. That's exactly what happened when a friend suggested I try out Game Dev Story for iPhone. The concept is pretty simple, you are President of a game development studio. You make video games. You watch them sell (hopefully like hotcakes), make money, become famous. Along the way you'll also need to hire employees with various skill sets (everything ranging from writers to sound engineers) and even take your advertising dollar spend into account.
The game has some interesting play concepts. In order to make a video game you'll need to pair up given types of video games along with matching a genre to that type which may or may not be the best fit. For example, you can choose to make a racing game and have the genre be about robots. On the other hand, you can make a video game with conflicting styles like RPG and... trivia. You can also choose what platform you want to develop for your video game for. Each platform has it's audience and the game type you choose may play a part in that. In order to play with some of the bigger platforms you'll need to get a license (of which you'll need some serious cash in some instances). Based on how well the type, genre, and platform of your desired game match your staff will work on it and try to make a game to the best of their given abilities. Those abilities can also be leveled up through research data (think experience points) or you can also send them to training, which also will cost you your hard-earned money. If you're unhappy with the performance of a given employee can choose to fire them and hire some new ones. At some point, you'll even be able to design your own platform/console. As of writing, I have not gotten that far yet.
The visual design of the game looks like something you'd see right out of the classic Super Nintendo days of gaming. The graphics are cute and at times huggable, especially when you see your team do very well on a game. It's very much reminiscent of SimCity but obviously with a different setting and environment. But the game does take some direct cues from SimCity and will throw some curveballs at you every now and again. For example, when your team is working hard on your latest video game the electricity may go out. This causes the development to suffer and sets back your team. Some of your employees may ask if they can work to improve a game, when they fail your game's bug count goes up. However, if they succeed your game gets better. You can also purchase boosts and products for your employees to add polish to your games, but it'll cost you.
The strangest part about this for me is that for the life of me I could not seem to put this game down. I found myself playing it on the Subway, walking from the Subway, walking home, during dinner, etc etc. There was something very satisfying about creating a mock video game (they even let you name it) and then see how well your idea takes in terms of sales and overall popularity. I was never into the whole Tamogatchi Virtual Pets thing when they were popular back in the day, this seems to be the virtual pet that was custom-tailored for me and my video game aspirations.
Game Dev Story was created by the folks over at Kairo Park. The app is available for iPhone and Android devices and will set you back $1.99. Enjoy and best of luck in your video game creation endeavors.

- Nintendo states no interest in bringing games to iPhone or Android.
According to AllThingsD Nintendo's stock took a beating after this announcement. From Nintendo's point of view this an obvious move. They make the hardware, they develop games on their hardware. Would you expect to see Apple putting iOS on an Android phone in the near future? If you said yes, proceed to smack yourself in the face. Now do it again.

- Square Enix did quite well this year with their multi-million selling titles.
One of those titles happened to be Final Fantasy XIII, a game that literally makes you literally click one button for ten plus hours and nothing else. On the flip side, if you manage to stick it out past the twenty hour mark the game begins to get somewhat enjoyable.

- PopCap offers up Mac gaming bundle, get your Peggle and Zuma on.
Got fifty bucks laying around and don't know what to do with it? Why not put it to some mind-numbing addictive casual video game use. As an added bonus some of these games can be quite therapeutic after a long day of work.

AGCO Corporation says it is closing its track tractor factory in DeKalb, IL. Currently, the DeKalb plant assembles Challenger track tractors in the range of 235 to 500 horsepower. The company says it may relocate production to one of its current facilities in either Jackson, MN, or Hesston, KS.
AGCO acquired the DeKalb plant from Caterpillar Inc. in March 2002. AGCO says current and forecasted production levels are not sufficient to support a stand-alone tractor site that currently runs at approximately 20% capacity.
Production at the DeKalb assembly plant will cease by late May 2003, with production to be relocated and resumed in July 2003.

This time merely one Scene than the whole game.
So far, NORAD was doing fine, destroying the Communication Room before its effects took place and harrassing the Salemites quite a lot. So Jack Saw, pimped with Kevlar Vest and sped up by the Zombie Control Device attacked Bolter, because one of the Salemites Mission was to end him. After a quite violent encounter between those two, Bolter was already flipped and had one Wound left. So he decided to make some distance. Unfortunately, he decided to depart past a vicious fight between Vasquez and Hollister. Remembering her main target, Hollister interrupted the fleeing Bolter and attacked him Point-Blank with a happy blast of her Shotgun. One excess CP went into damage (it was a 2 Shoot Order). But annoyingly her shot had no effect on Bolter. So he startet to laugh a deep rolling laugh. And then Hollister got another order from HQ, because she was allowed to have a second action while interrupting and there was a tiny Brawl 1 Order left. So threw one lonely dice and got a crit. With a nice, clean karate chop she ended the laughter, ended Bolter ... and later ended Vasquez, who hold the Wiring Plans (one of the NORAD Missions) ... one point for the salemites

This is Part 1 of a 3 Part guide on tips for loading on the Personal Property Securities Act is very complex in nature. A number of questions are often raised by our clients around how to load PPS Registrations to ensure they're valid and there seems to be a lot of misconception around why our clients cannot just load their interest on the Personal Property Securities Register regardless of the information they have.
It all comes down to the Terms and Conditions of Trade. The terms and conditions of trade form your security agreement with your customer. Without it, it's difficult to enforce your rights as a Secured Creditor. Without it, your PPS Registrations may be deemed invalid by a Liquidator or Receiver, if they're appointed.
Your Security Agreement e.g. a Credit Application must be PPSA compliant, be signed and accepted by both contracting parties and also contain a statement as to the property you can legally have a security interest in. You must have a legal right in the property in order for you to hold a security interest in the property e.g. If the customer defaults, you can't just load a security interest in their vehicle or other personal property because they haven't paid you. The PPSR doesn't work that way I'm afraid.
Tips for loading a valid security interest on the PPSR:
- Have you received a signed and dated security agreement?
Your business may have purchased terms and conditions from EC Credit Control and you've sent them out to all of your existing clients and made a company policy to get all new and existing clients to sign acceptance of your terms and conditions.
One of two things will happen;
- The terms will be returned
- The terms will not be returned
- What do you do with the terms and conditions?
- When the terms are returned:
- Ensure the documentation is signed
- If clauses have been amended or crossed out, could this now invalidate your security interest and what can you do?
- Customer has emailed you acceptance saying they have agreed to the terms but not signed the documents. Does emailed acceptance constitute a legal agreement that will secure your interest or is it imperative that you obtain a signed document?
- When the terms are not returned:
- A simple phone call should be made to your customer
- Is there a reason why they're not signing your terms?
- Is it because they do not understand what they're signing?
- They may have simply forgotten to return them
- Your customer continues to work/order with you without returning signed documentation. Are there any risks of accepting work this way?

So, I've started one of those cool screencap roleplaying webcomics, the style made famous by DM of the Rings and Darths & Droids. My comic, The Leaky D20, uses screenshots from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to tell an epic story of a bunch of roleplayers and their GM.
Read the first strip here, or see all strips so far here. The comic updates Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings. Swedish time.
I hope you like it.

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson testified in front of a Senate appropriations subcommittee Wednesday about the EPA's planned carbon permit policy. Last year Jackson told lawmakers the EPA would regulate all businesses with emissions above 25,000 tons per year. Yesterday she raised that number to somewhere between 75,000 and 100,000 tons, levels which include only large scale industrial projects and power plants. Even at the significantly higher level the chance of the proposal being enacted doesn't look good. At this point it's not expected to start until 2011 and with Congress' current point of view it looks to be delayed even longer or stopped all together.
The permit proposal isn't completely fished out yet but it is not meant to regulate the amount of carbon emitted. The purpose is to make sure that large emitters are doing what they can to be responsible about their emissions by implementing the latest technology to lower them. The law was initially intended to include most of large industry. In response to a large backlash in Congress the EPA moved the initial phase to a higher emissions level and will work their way into including everyone emitting over 25,000 tons a year over the next six years.
Since there is a large movement in Congress to stop the bill, lawmakers argue that it will hinder the economy by making large companies pay for retrofits in a time when there's not a lot of extra cash to go around. In a preemptive move 86 Republicans signed a resolution on Tuesday to stop the EPA's proposed regulations. Some Senators are asking the EPA to let Congress pass their own emissions regulations. Others are invoking arguments against global warming to stop the permit implementation. With the recent study about California's emissions in the news, one is left wondering why Jackson didn't involve health issues with air pollutants in her argument for the emissions permits. Prospects for the proposal look dim, which leaves us wondering how Congress can ever be a partner in the fight against climate change.

NASHVILLE (Feb. 18, 2012) – At a time when the ETSU men's basketball team is working to turn its season around, the Buccaneers will face a major obstacle Saturday afternoon when they take on longtime Atlantic Sun Conference rival Belmont.
Tip is set for 8:15 p.m. (EST) inside the Curb Event Center.
The Bucs, who have won just once in their previous six trips to the Curb, are currently 13-12 overall, 7-7 in A-Sun play. Meanwhile, the first-place Bruins are 20-7 overall, 12-2 in league play.
For more on Saturday's game, click on the game notes link located to the right, or read the game notes located below. For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the 2011-12 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.
We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Last time out
JOHNSON CITY (Feb. 13, 2012) – Shooting just 50 percent from the foul line and looking on as Jacksonville's Aloys Cabell scored a game-high 26 points, the ETSU men's basketball team fell to the Dolphins 61-55 in Atlantic Sun Conference play Monday evening at the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. ... ETSU led for most of the game and actually held a 45-44 edge with just over eight minutes left in the game after a 3-pointer from junior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis). However, from there the Dolphins put together a 9-0 run to build a 53-45 advantage and never relinquished the lead. ... While Cabell's 26 points was the story of the game for Jacksonville, it was ETSU's lack of offensive firepower and poor free throw shooting that doomed any chance of a Buccaneer victory. For the game, ETSU hit on just 36 percent of its shots from the floor, while going just 11-of-22 from the free throw line. ... The Bucs were even worse from long range, going just 4-of-19 (21 percent) from beyond the arc. ETSU did pick up 12 steals and forced 14 Jacksonville turnovers, but most of that damage came in the first half. Even so, the Buccaneers were unable to pull away to a significant lead before the intermission. ... As for the Dolphins, they shot a strong 52 percent from the floor and were 5-of-13 from 3-point range – going 4-of-8 from long range in the second half. Along with Cabell's strong effort, JU also got 13 points from Tevin Galvin, which included a basket as the shot clock expired to make it 59-55 in favor of the Dolphins with just over 20 seconds left in the game. ... Junior guard Marcus Dubose (Hartsville, S.C.) scored a team-high 20 points from the Bucs, while senior guard Tommy Hubbard (Boston) posted his fifth double-double of the season with an 18-point, 13-rebound effort. ... While those two players made up most of the Bucs' offense, the rest of the team combined to go 6-for-24 (25 percent) – which included a combined 3-for-13 effort from seniors Isiah Brown (Miami) and Adam Sollazzo (Tampa, Fla.).
The series versus Belmont
The Bucs and Bruins have met 21 times in their histories, with the Bucs trailing the series, 8-13 ... The Bucs were a perfect 5-0 against Belmont prior to 2005, when ETSU joined the Atlantic Sun Conference ... Since that time, ETSU is 3-13 against Belmont ... Three of those games have gone to overtime, with ETSU going 1-2 in those contests, ... The last meeting between the two was a 82-70 Belmont win back on Jan. 23, 2012 in Nashville.
Last time out against Belmont
JOHNSON CITY (Jan. 23, 2012) – The ETSU men's basketball team scored an impressive 58 points in the second half of its game with the Belmont Bruins Monday night inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. ... The problem for the Buccaneers was they scored just 12 in the first half. ... Falling behind 27-12 by halftime, the Bucs were unable to mount a serious comeback threat and dropped a critical 82-70 contest to their preeminent Atlantic Sun Conference rivals. ... The first half was an offensive nightmare for the Bucs, who shot a paltry 16 percent from the field and just 1-of-6 from 3-point range. It was so bad that even though Belmont – a perennially strong 3-point shooting team – had only one made 3-pointer in the first half, the Bruins were still able to build a 15-point lead by the intermission at 27-12. ... In fact, both teams struggled so much offensively that the Bruins led just 13-9 with eight minutes left in the first half. However, they went on to outscore the Bucs 14-3 the rest of the half to build a substantial lead. ... After the break, the Bruins pounded the ball inside and ultimately outscored the Bucs 48-16 in the paint in hopes of icing the game away. However, the Bucs battled throughout the final 20 minutes, scoring 58 points themselves and pulling to within nine points at 79-70 with 35 seconds left in the contest. ... For the game, ETSU shot just 37 percent from the floor while the Bruins connected on 53 percent of its attempts. The Bucs did hold the Bruins to just 26 percent from 3-point range, while ETSU was a solid 40 percent (8-of-20) from outside the arc. ... The Bucs did force 19 turnovers on 14 steals, but the poor shooting in the first half was too much to overcome. ... ETSU guards Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) and Marcus Dubose (Hartsville, S.C.) each scored a game-high 18 points, while senior guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) pitched in 16. For Belmont, five players reached double figures led by senior forward Mick Hedgepeth with 17 points.
Bucs lead nation in steals, Cooley ranked 12th on list
Key to the Bucs' wins this year has been the ability to swipe the ball from opponents ... Through games of Feb. 12, ETSU ranks No. 1 in the country in steals per game, averaging 10.5 steals a contest ... In fact, in the Bucs' last game, the team swiped 18 steals against James Madison (1/30) ... Meanwhile, junior Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) has been on a torrid pace this season and a big reason for the Bucs' success in the steals category, averaging a conference best 2.4 steals per game ... He currently ranks 12th nationally in steals per game. ... The Bucs have four players ranked in the Top 10 among A-Sun Conference players in steals: Cooley (1st, 2.4), Tommy Hubbard (2nd, 2.0), Adam Sollazzo (4th, 1.8), and Isiah Brown (9th, 1.5).
Rembert breaks out
Freshman guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa), who was recruited for his ability to score the basketball, came off the bench to provide valuable minutes in the Bucs' win over Kennesaw State (2/4) ... Going a perfect 4-for-4 from the field and 3-for-3 from 3-point range, Rembert netted 11 points for ETSU during a critical stretch midway through the game ... Afterwards, head coach Murry Bartow commented how Rembert was probably the player of the game.
Block party for Brown
With a block in last season's finale against Iona, senior forward Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) set a new school record for blocks in a single season, swatting away a total of 71 shots on the year ... For his career, he is now second on the all-time list with 178 blocks, but is just four behind the program's all-time leader Zakee Wadood ... In addition to those marks, Brown's six-block performance against Belmont last year also matched the program's single-game record ... At the time, Brown joined six other ETSU players who have had six-block games, including former standouts Brad Nuckles, Eryk Thomas, Jerald Fields, Zakee Wadood, Greg Dennis and Greg Hamlin.
Sollazzo stepping up his offensive game
Senior point guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) has found a strong offensive rhythm in recent games ... In his last 21 games, Sollazzo has scored in double figures 18 times, eclipsing 20 points in five of those games ... Over that time frame, he has averaged 16.3 points, 4.3 assists, and 5.4 rebounds, and is shooting 45 percent from the floor. ... Sollazzo currently ranks first on the team in points (15.2 ppg) and assists (4.5 apg), and third in rebounds. (5.5 rpg).
Brown sets new career mark
With his 27-point effort in the win over North Florida, senior forward Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) set a new career high for single-game scoring ... Brown, who was honored prior to the UNF game for recently eclipsing 1,000 points for his career, put on an offensive show against the Ospreys ... For the 6-foot-8 senior, it was his best game since netting 25 points against Kentucky in the 2010-11 season opener.
Poderis reaches career mark for rebounds
In recent weeks, junior forward Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) has become a truly valuable part of the Buccaneers attack ... In the win over Mercer, Poderis picked up a career high 10 rebounds, and that effort came two days after he matched his career high for points with 14 against USC Upstate ... In the win over Kennesaw State, he posted another nine-rebound effort ... For the year, Poderis is averaging 4.4 points and 4.5 rebounds in 20.8 minutes a game.
Bucs showing "flex"-ability with offense
In ETSU's game against Appalachian State back on Dec. 10, the Bucs debuted a new offensive wrinkle, utilizing one of basketball's most traditional offenses ... The "flex" is an offense that utilizes multiple screens and a great deal of slashing throughout the paint ... The results were good for the Bucs, who enjoyed several layups and dunks against the Mountaineers, as they won 65-48 to snap a four-game losing streak.
On their way to 1,000 points
As they began their seniors seasons, ETSU's trio of Isiah Brown, Adam Sollazzo and Tommy Hubbard were all eying the 1,000 point mark for their careers. While Brown has now reached the mark, Hubbard and Sollazzo are still in the hunt. After the Bucs' last game, here is where each stands:
Adam Sollazzo ................................................................... 948 points
Tommy Hubbard ................................................................ 829 points
To reach 1,000, the three would have to average for the season:

Getting to the free throw line a key for the Bucs
In recent years, the Bucs have focused on playing stingy defense, but also driving to the basket on offense and trying to get "tough" points thanks to fouls ... One way for the ETSU coaching staff to determine how successful the Bucs have been is charting free throw attempts and makes ... Well if this statistic is a true indicator, then the Bucs did just as the coaches would like ... Last season, ETSU set a school record for free throw attempts, putting up a total of 856 free tosses ... The Bucs also made their share of those attempts, ranking second on the all-time list with 580 makes ... The 2010-11 edition of the Bucs came up just nine makes short of the all-time record, held by the 1991-92 Bucs at 589. ... This season, after starting out the year shooting poorly from the foul line, the Bucs are have improved those numbers and are now shooting 64 percent for the year as a team.
Bucs add to postseason resume
The ETSU men's basketball team has enjoyed its share of postseason success and ranks as one of the nation's most prestigious basketball programs ... The Buccaneers have earned berths to the NCAA Tournament nine times (1969, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010) and NIT twice (1983, 2007) ... In 2011, the Bucs made their first ever appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, winning twice and advancing to the semifinals of that event ... It was the program's 12th postseason tournament appearance all-time.
ETSU picked among nation's best "Prestige" programs
Since the beginning of the modern era for NCAA Division I-A basketball – marked by the expansion of the NCAA Tournament field to 64 teams in 1984-85 – the ETSU men's basketball program ranks in the Top 30 percent of the 300 programs that were eligible for the postseason at that time, this according to ESPN.com's "Prestige" ranking released back in 2008 ... Since that time, the Bucs have only added to their list of prestigious honors … The Buccaneers -- who have enjoyed nine NCAA Tournament trips, one NIT and one CIT berth, 14 20-win seasons, and a slew of conference regular season and tournament championships since 1984-85 -- ranked tied for 82nd out of 300 teams, meaning they were in the Top 27 percent of schools making the list. ETSU was ranked ahead of every current Atlantic Sun Conference team, as well as former Southern Conference rivals Appalachian State, Western Carolina, Georgia Southern and UNC Greensboro. In addition, the Bucs ranked ahead of SEC schools such as Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Georgia, Mississippi and Auburn, as well as programs such as Virginia Tech, Notre Dame, DePaul, Bradley, Clemson, California and Florida State.

i5_query etcetera will be replaced by db2_exec, i5_program_call should be processed by the new Compatibility Wrapper for IBM i Toolkit for PHP. We have al lot of scripts that used i5_query, so a lot of work, and not the "limited changes needed" as expected.
But, I'l get there in the end, I hope. At this moment I ran into a problem when I use function "i5_data_area_write" (and probably the same issue with "i5_data_area_read".

It is possible that the main title of the report Short Chain Acyl CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (SCAD) is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder of fatty acid catabolism belonging to a group of diseases known as fatty acid oxidation disorders (FOD). It occurs because of a deficiency of the short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD) enzyme.
Although SCAD was initially thought to produce severe problems including progressive muscle weakness, hypotonia, acidemia, developmental delay, and even early death, it is now believed that this disorder is both more common and less severe in many cases than originally thought at the time of its discovery 20 years ago. Since the advent of expanded newborn screening programs using tandem mass spectrometry technology, many more SCAD infants are being detected, many of whom are well and asymptomatic.
When symptoms are present, they are variable, ranging from severe, neonatal acidosis to mild developmental delay with hypotonia.

Thread: Soldier-Citizens to the Rescue?
Results 1 to 1 of 1
#1 Soldier-Citizens to the Rescue?05-06-2010, 07:32 AM
Well, this is a good sign!
Usually a handful of ex-soldiers seek political office every election cycle. But well over 20 Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans are running this fall for Congress alone. Almost all are riding a wave of public anger at incumbents over a profligate government and dishonest Wall Street -- and a general feeling that the current Democratic remedy has proven as bad as, or worse than, the recent Republican disease.
The shenanigans of the previously Republican-controlled Congress -- the "Culture of Corruption" -- simply continued under the congressional Democrat majority, thanks to the likes of Chris Dodd, William Jefferson, Eric Massa, Charles Rangel and the late John Murtha.
Reform candidate Barack Obama has run up more debt in 15 months than unpopular spendthrift George W. Bush did in eight years. Obama once talked of a new unity, but he has polarized America far more rapidly than did the cowboy-sounding "decider" Bush.
In other words, the public is desperate for civic-minded leaders who are untainted by Washington, but who have a proven record of competent service on behalf of the nation. If they are poor or haven't held office before -- apparently so much the better.
The current combat-veteran candidates certainly aren't the usual state legislators or congressional aides ready for career advancement. Neither are they anti-war liberals who flash their national-security credentials, nor one-issue hawks who want more defense spending. They don't claim that their combat experience guarantees good governance per se -- not after the examples of Murtha or disgraced Republican Duke Cunningham. And they aren't retired generals used to deference and the spotlight.
So other than a shared furor at out-of-control spending, government takeovers and corruption, the twenty-something soldier-citizen candidates are an odd bunch. Some are officers; others are enlisted men. A surprising number were wounded in combat.
The vast majority are running as Republicans and seem to have little if any money. They were not so much preselected by Republican operatives as pushed forward through grassroots and sometimes Tea Party support.
In New York's 20th Congressional District, retired Army Col. Chris Gibson -- four deployments to Iraq -- is a Ph.D., former West Point instructor and author of a book on civilian-military relations. He received a Purple Heart, and recently served in the Haitian relief effort. While Gibson, the warrior scholar, is running on smaller government and lower taxes, his main theme is a call for ethics, accountability and a return to the notion of the citizen-legislator who works in Washington, rather than works the Washington system.
Other veteran candidates are already well known. In Florida's 22nd Congressional District, decorated retired Army Lt. Col. Allen West was involved in a controversy seven years ago when he purportedly fired a pistol near an Iraqi prisoner who he believed had information regarding a planned ambush of West's battalion. West has MA degrees in military arts and sciences and in political science, and was wounded a few years ago while serving as a civilian advisor in Afghanistan. His theme also is ostensibly smaller, cleaner government, balanced budgets, strong national security and lower taxes.

Kevin Clash resigned from his high-profile puppeteering gig on "Sesame Street" in November 2012 amid allegations of having sexual relations with multiple underage boys. But despite the scandal, Clash's work as the man behind Elmo helped get him four Daytime Emmy nominations.
Clash was nominated for outstanding performer in a children's series, as a director and as a producer for "Sesame Street" and also as producer of the program "Little Children, Big Challenges: Divorce," which is nominated in the category of New Approaches -- Enhancement to a Daytime Program or Series.
Last year, Clash was accused of having a sexual relationship with an underage boy. Though the original accuser later recanted, three others came forward to charge that Clash had relationships with them.
PHOTOS: Celebrity portraits by The Times
Clash was initially suspended from the show, which he had worked on for 28 years, and he eventually resigned. He released a statement saying, "Personal matters have diverted attention away from the important work 'Sesame Street' is doing and I cannot allow it to go on any longer. I am deeply sorry to be leaving and am looking forward to resolving these personal matters privately."
In previous years, Clash has been something of a Daytime Emmys champ. He's received 23 of the awards in years past, and won a prime-time Emmy Award for producing the program "Growing Hope Against Hunger."
Clash has maintained his innocence and kept a low profile since leaving the show, and several of the lawsuits brought against him are still pending, so it's unclear whether he will show up at the Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony in June.
Officials of the Sesame Workshop, the producer of "Sesame Street," have stated that they would find a replacement for Clash to voice Elmo, who has become one of the most popular characters on the show.

How to Make Gnocchi / Kopytka like Grandmother Recipe
Gnocchi / Kopytka RecipeFrancesca's mom seemed disappointed we didn't have a potato ricer or potato mill on hand, but said that mashing the potatoes by hand would be fine. I've done it many times by hand now, and it is fine. For those of you wanting to do some of the preparation in advance, in one test I cooked and mashed a batch of potatoes a day ahead of time, put them in a covered bowl overnight, and incorporated the egg and flour the next day when I was ready to cook the gnocchi - no problems.
Scant 2 pounds of starchy potatoes (2 large russets)Fill a large pot with cold water. Salt the water, then cut potatoes in half and place them in the pot. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until tender throughout, this takes roughly 40-50 minutes.
1/4 cup egg, lightly beaten
scant 1 cup of unbleached all-purpose flour
fine grain sea salt
Remove the potatoes from the water one at a time with a slotted spoon. Place each potato piece on a large cutting board and peel it before moving on to the next potato. Also, peel each potato as soon as possible after removing from the water (without burning yourself) - I've found a paring knife comes in handy here. Be mindful that you want to work relatively quickly so you can mash the potatoes when they are hot. To do this you can either push the potatoes through a ricer, or do what I do, deconstruct them one at a time on the cutting board using the tines of a fork - mash isn't quite the right term here. I run the fork down the sides of the peeled potato creating a nice, fluffy potato base to work with (see photo). Don't over-mash - you are simply after an even consistency with no noticable lumps.
Save the potato water.
Let the potatoes cool spread out across the cutting board - ten or fifteen minutes. Long enough that the egg won't cook when it is incorporated into the potatoes. When you are ready, pull the potatoes into a soft mound - drizzle with the beaten egg and sprinkle 3/4 cup of the flour across the top. I've found that a metal spatula or large pastry scraper are both great utensils to use to incorporate the flour and eggs into the potatoes with the egg incorporated throughout - you can see the hint of yellow from the yolk. Scrape underneath and fold, scrape and fold until the mixture is a light crumble. Very gently, with a feathery touch knead the dough. This is also the point you can add more flour (a sprinkle at a time) if the dough is too tacky. I usually end up using most of the remaining 1/4 cup flour, but it all depends on the potatoes, the flour, the time of year, the weather, and whether the gnocchi gods are smiling on you. The dough should be moist but not sticky. It should feel almost billowy. Cut it into 8 pieces. Now gently roll each 1/8th of dough into a snake-shaped log, roughly the thickness of your thumb. Use a knife to cut pieces every 3/4-inch (see photo). Dust with a bit more flour.
To shape the gnocchi hold a fork in one hand (see photo) and place a gnocchi pillow against the tines of the fork, cut ends out. With confidence and an assertive (but light) touch, use your thumb and press in and down the length of the fork. The gnocchi should curl into a slight "C" shape, their backs will capture the impression of the tines as tiny ridges (good for catching sauce later). Set each gnocchi aside, dust with a bit more flour if needed, until you are ready to boil them. This step takes some practice, don't get discouraged, once you get the hang of it it's easy.
Now that you are on the final stretch, either reheat your potato water or start with a fresh pot (salted), and bring to a boil. Cook the gnocchi in batches by dropping them into the boiling water roughly twenty at a time. They will let you know when they are cooked because they will pop back up to the top. Fish them out of the water a few at a time with a slotted spoon ten seconds or so after they've surfaced. Have a large platter ready with a generous swirl of whatever sauce or favorite pesto you'll be serving on the gnocchi. Place the gnocchi on the platter. Continue cooking in batches until all the gnocchi are done. Gently toss with more sauce or pesto (don't overdo it, it should be a light dressing), and serve immediately, family-style with a drizzle of good olive oil on top.

Halmstad University, as well as other state agencies and authorities, has from the Government received the task of setting up an environmental management system (SOU 1996:112). We are part of the environmental management group 2000.
Through its business operations, Halmstad University has a major responsibility for environmental issues including striving towards a sustainable society. We see the establishment of environmental management as an important part of the regular business of the University. The University reports on an annual basis to The National Agency for Higher Education and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency with regards to its environmental work.
The government has selected an environmental management system as a tool which should be used in state owned administrations and agencies.
Environmental management systems involve the systematisation of environmental work with clear guidelines and goals involving such aspects as central governing documents, clear descriptions of areas of responsibility, routines for follow-up together with the auditing and accounting of results.
The essential point of the introduction of an environmental management system is to integrate environmental considerations into the whole business operation and in such a way enhance the University's environmental performance. This should be implemented through continuously raising the levels of ambition, establishing new goals and taking further measures.
The environmental management work should be followed up and documented so that the Swedish Parliament and government can show the results of the environmental work involving state agencies and authorities. The documentation should therefore focus on goals, the fulfilment of these goals and continuous improvements that have been made.
The essence of the University's environmental management system is increasing positive environmental impacts arising from the core business operations (indirect environmental impact) as well as reducing the negative environmental impact derived form the maintenance of the business operations (direct environmental impact).

The history of the Blood Elves in World of Warcraft is somewhat convoluted, as the little buggers originally started out as…well, as kaldorei. That's right, night elves and blood elves were once the same thing. Physically, they look very different – and from a societal standpoint, they're incredibly different as well. So why are the blood elves now a part of the Horde, while night elves are firmly on the Alliance's side? What happened to make the Blood Elves a bunch of bad guys? And just how do they get such beautiful hair without a lot of product buildup? Some of these questions to be answered this week!
The Sin'dorei as they are currently called weren't always the blonde, bright-eyed, egomaniacal self obsessed little buggers that you see in World of Warcraft today. Sin'dorei is a name they gave themselves after events in their history warranted the name change. Originally, they were called the Quel'dorei, or high elves – children of noble birth. In order to properly understand where these elves came from, one should probably take a look at the Night Elf History segments from a few weeks ago: Part One, Part Two, and Part Three. I will be picking up with elf history shortly after the timeline presented in the night elf history segment – after the Sundering that split the world into the continents we know today.
Don't Bleach, Use Chamomile Tea For Natural, Sun-Kissed Highlights
The kaldorei had been firmly split into two different factions – there were the night elves, and the quel'dorei. While the night elves worshipped Elune and followed a largely druidic, nature-based path, the Quel'dorei had become masters of managing the arcane energies and magic of the Well of Eternity – a mastery that had proven disastrous in the War of the Ancients. There was another difference between the two factions however. As the night elves never came out during the day, and usually did their work and worship by night, they had darkened skin and hair, brilliant hues of purple, blue and green, and their eyes retained a normal silver glow – gold in the cases of those that showed druidic potential. The quel'dorei however found it better to work under the light of the sun, and found their skin and their hair fading as well into a lighter version of the night elves dark colors.

Safe Schools Program: Replication Phase
A Qualitative Study to Examine School-Related Gender-Based Violence in Malawi (2008)
The Safe Schools Program has just released A Qualitative Study to Examine School-Related Gender-Based Violence in Malawi which summarizes the results of a participatory learning and action (PLA) research activity conducted in Malawis Machinga District to help raise awareness, involvement, and accountability at national, institutional, community and individual levels of school-related gender-based violence.
Glossary of Gender Terms and Concepts (2008)
This glossary was developed for USAIDs Office of Women in Development by the EQUATE Project, Management Systems International (Prime Contractor).
Education from a Gender Equality Perspective (2008)
Using an approach that takes into account the relations and interaction between males and females (also known as gender dynamics), the Gender Equality Framework addresses four dimensions of equality in education. These are: equality of access, equality in the learning process, equality of educational outcomes, and equality of external results. Sections on each of the four dimensions include concrete activities that can be implemented as part of an overall strategy to achieve gender equality in education. Additional examples are provided through the use of text boxes, which highlight successful USAID education interventions.
Gender Equality Framework (2008)
This document introduces a simple framework within which often misunderstood terms and concepts are reviewed in easily understood terminology. The Gender Equality Framework is based on the results from USAID education program assessments conducted during the past decade that revealed the need for a tool to help USAID move education programming toward achieving gender equality.

ON BOARD THE MV FRAM IN THE WEDDELL SEA - Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today we hope to reach the South Orkney Islands, but sea ice may prevent us from our goal. We'll need to be flexible. I'll give more information soon."
This was one of expedition leader Anja Erdmann's daily announcements to passengers aboard the MV Fram. She and Capt. Arild Hårvik apprised us of weather conditions, wildlife sightings and photo opportunities during Norwegian cruise company Hurtigruten's Antarctic expedition last December.
Ice covering the Weddell Sea proved impassable, so Hårvik did reroute the Fram. We explored the western Antarctic Peninsula, sailing through the narrow, iceberg-jammed Lemaire Channel to our southernmost destination of Vernadsky, a Ukrainian research station.
This aptly demonstrated that even 100 years after Ernest Shackleton left Britain bound for Antarctica on his doomed ship Endurance, Mother Nature still rules the frozen continent.
Erdmann was right: embracing flexibility was wise - which is precisely why Hurtigruten identifies its voyages to Earth's southernmost continent as "expeditions," not cruises. Cruises follow published itineraries, but expeditions offer no guarantees. And in Antarctica, a vessel's ability to approach destinations is dependent upon shifting ice and unruly seas.
This isn't theoretical. Remember Christmas Eve? The Russian ship Akademik Shokalskiy was trapped by sea ice, as well as its supposed rescuer, the Chinese icebreaker Xue Long. Happily, this did not happened during Fram's expedition - but it could have.
To me and my husband, such unpredictability represents compelling, authentic adventure amid nature.
We chose Hurtigruten's 19-day expedition to learn about the still largely unknown continent. The longer voyage also let us experience the sub-Antarctic islands of the Falklands, South Georgia and South Orkneys.
Eight on-board scientists delivered informative, illustrated talks during five at-sea days, deepening everyone's understanding of Antarctica's environment, animals, geology, and work being conducted at international research stations on topics such as climate change.
Nineteen days sped past. The Falklands and South Georgia islands revealed penguins, seals and tenacious humans. The Antarctic Peninsula's quintessential wildness, ever-changing moods, towering snow-clad mountains, blue-ice glaciers and growlers (baby icebergs), proved more extraordinary than imagined. Even the crossing of the infamous Drake Passage (reputedly the world's most unruly waters) was on our bucket list ...
Nonetheless, Antarctica's remoteness presents challenges. Assessing and preparing for them is what makes expeditions memorable - in a good way. It's wise to research options and weigh risks.
Size matters
Can you imagine not being able to land if you want to get up close and personal with penguins? The 100 signatories of the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators helps preserve Antarctica's environmental integrity through conservation controls. To reduce impact on delicate ecosystems, IAATO-member vessels carrying more than 500 passengers do not make landings.
Tip: Research the companies to understand landing constraints.
Unruly seas
The larger the vessel, the smoother the voyage. Fram is classified as a mid-size ship, so although it's very safe and comfortable, stormy seas affect it. Everyone was worried about the Drake Passage, where, according to Friederike Bronny, swells can reach 20 metres. "I'd not want to experience that again," our on-board bird specialist confided. "Mind you, that was a hurricane."
Right. And because Mother Nature rules, hurricanes could occur. Our voyage was relatively calm, but we did experience 12 hours or so of seven-metre swells.
Tip: If you're prone to motionsickness, consult your doctor. Mine prescribed patches, and we weren't sick at all.
Suitable clothing, equipment
Research what clothing and equipment tour operators provide. For Antarctic excursions such as kayaking and camping, most have specialized gear for extreme weather. We never used our winter parka and hiking boots. Instead, Hurtigruten's "souvenir" hooded waterproof jackets allowed us to manage layers of clothing, and the neoprene boots we rented on board were superb for wet landings and hikes.
On their recommended clothing checklist, waterproof pants became indispensable because they kept us dry and cosy.
Even in fine weather, all this waterproofing was important. Staff occasionally had to hose passengers down while boarding Fram to rid us of penguin poop after onshore excursions to see these birds.
Tip: An on-board shop had a selection of gear, but it was pricey.
Taking technology to Antarctica demands forethought. Cold drains batteries rapidly. Condensation and salt spray affect lenses, binoculars, cameras, tripods - any gear, actually. December heralds Antarctica's summer, with typical highs and lows of 5 C and -5 C, but the temperature plunges with wind chill.
Tip: Take extra batteries, waterproof bags, lens cleaners. Research the ship's on-board power: you may need adapters.
Be realistic about your physical abilities. Landings involve stepping from a stable ship into small tender boats that sometimes can be tossed up, down and sideways by waves. The firm hulls and sturdy handrails of Fram's tenders were much easier to manage than other inflatable tenders we've experienced. Once ashore, activities ranged from gentle strolls through villages such as Falkland's Port Stanley, to hiking thrilling (read: steep) inclines with sometimes icy footing or deep (kneehigh) snow, kayaking alongside icebergs, camping overnight - or swimming in the Antarctic Ocean.
Risks? "One year, a glacier calved, sending huge waves onto shore close to where we'd pitched our tents," explained expedition team biologist Rudolph Thomann. "Now we camp higher up."
A cautionary tale - particularly while taking down our tents at Neko Harbour.
That morning we witnessed another glacier calve, then saw an avalanche plunge down a cliff opposite our campsite.
Tip: Emergency airlifts to hospitals from Antarctica are exorbitantly expensive. Comprehensive travel health insurance is prudent - and may be mandatory.
Antarctic expeditions? Risk the adventure of your lifetime While on South Georgia, a Norwegian couple revealed this was their third trip to Antarctica with Fram. Why, I asked? "You'll see for yourself. Perhaps you'll be enchanted, too."
I was. I'd return in a heartbeat.
Risks? Prepare for - and embrace them.

GreddyGirl wrote:Yeah, but isnt there chocolate on the inside too, plus there were a few capuchino chocolates too!
Chocolate toxicity
Q: A veterinarian sent me a e-mail two days ago telling me that my for
dosages Chocolate toxcity were incorrect. Would you please tell me what dosage is acurate.
Thank you. Dr G
A: Dr. G
The LD50 -- dose at which 1/2 of the dogs exposed to a substance will die
--- is about 100mg/kg for chocolate. The dose that causes signs of
toxicity, such as excitement, increased urination, muscle tremors and rapid
heart rate may occur at a lower dosage.
The other problem with dogs eating chocolate is that a lot of formulations
of chocolate are high in fat and dogs often get enteritis or pancreatitis
following ingestion of a lot of milk chocolate.
Your dosages of 44mg theobromine/oz for milk chocolate, 150mg/oz for
semi-sweet chocolate and 390 mg/oz for baking chocolate match the dosages
that I have seen published. Using a dose of 100mg/kg as the toxic dose the
toxic dosages per pound of body weight for dogs work out to be roughly:
1 ounce per pound of body weight (2 ounces per kg of body weight) for milk
1 ounce per 3 pounds of body weight ( 1 ounce per 1.5 kg body weight) for
semi-sweet chocolate
1 ounce per 9 pounds of body weight ( 1 ounce per 4 kg) for baker's chocolate.
So the dosages I am familiar with match what you have included in your
email for death by chocolate. Toxic signs may occur at lower dosages. The
best estimate that I have seen for this is that clinical signs may develop
in some pets with dosages as low as 10% of the LD50 dose.
I have been practicing for 20 years and I do not recall having a patient
die from ingestion of chocolate but I have seen some very excited dogs and
I have seen some dogs that probably would have died from the secondary
enteritis without treatment.
I have talked to veterinarians who feel that they have seen dogs that died
from heart problems, pancreatitis or other complications following
chocolate ingestion even though the dogs ate less than the theoretical
toxic dose.
I think that the chances of causing a toxicity with milk chocolate are very
very low and I don't think it is a big deal if my clients share their M&Ms
with their pets but semi-sweet chocolate morsels and baker's chocolate
should be put where pets and small children aren't likely to find and
ingest them.
I hope this is the information you were looking for.

Disappointed with the druzy beads. I ordered a strand which was 38 beads and only 6 of them had the crystals in them. I assumed the druzy beads are meant to have a 'sparkle' to them. Although I don't expect them all to have crystals, I'd assume at least half should be what you are paying for. I contacted the shop and their response was if I want more crystals I'll have to buy more strings as they don't restring them. The other beads I purchased were very nice. Just the druzys were not what I thought I was paying for and I did not get any help through the company.

LONDON (Reuters) - No one but the jurors can say which of six short-listed books will receive the Man Booker Prize for fiction on October 15, but one thing for certain is the Americans are coming into the competition next year and the literary world is in an uproar.
It has been a week since the organisers of the prestigious prize for English-language fiction that had been reserved for writers from the United Kingdom, Ireland and the Commonwealth threw open the doors to Americans and authors from all countries writing in English. Words of praise and dismay keep flowing.
A blog by British writer Philip Hensher in the Guardian was headlined: "Well, that's the end of the Booker prize, then." But a piece by novelist Sophie Hardach in the online edition of U.S.-based the Atlantic bore the headline: "Of course the Booker Prize should get more inclusive - because English has."
In the 40-plus years since the first award in 1969, the prize originally known as the Booker has helped launch the careers of a host of now famous authors, from Nigerian Ben Okri, who won for his "The Famished Road" in 1991, to Irish writer Anne Enright, who won the 2007 Man Booker for "The Gathering".
Now the prize will be open from 2014 not only to the big names of American literature, including some of the best-selling authors on the planet, but also to what some literary agents and authors in Britain see as a better-funded, more cohesive literary scene in the United States.
They note that the United States has a host of prestigious prizes, such as the Pulitzer and the National Book Award, many open only to Americans, plus well-funded writing courses at universities from New York to Indiana and Omaha to California.
"If anything I'm a bit saddened" by the opening up to competition from America, Lisa Eveleigh of the Richard Becklow Literary Agency in London, said.
"I don't think writers get the help here that they get in America and I don't frankly think America needs it."
In announcing the change, Jonathan Taylor, chairman of the Booker Prize Foundation that bestows the honour, said: "The prize is now widely regarded as the most important and influential award for literary fiction in the English-speaking world. But paradoxically, it has not allowed full participation for all those writing literary fiction in English.
"It's rather as if the Chinese were excluded from the Olympics."
Novelist Hardach perhaps saw herself in Taylor's simile.
"In my case, even though I live here, I'm married to an Englishman, I pay my taxes here, I'm published in the UK, I signed up with a UK publisher and write in English, in fact my second novel is even set in London, I can't be eligible for the Booker because I have a German passport," Hardach told Reuters.
There is, though, a line of thought which has it that Britain working with its former colonies grouped as the Commonwealth for sporting events, trade and a literary prize celebrates a common heritage, one that America rejected in 1776.
"For our authors it is impossible to win an American prize ... so it seems rather unfair to me that we should open our prize to them when they don't open their prizes to us," said Felicity Bryan, head of an Oxford literary agency.
Briton Jim Crace, whose novel "Harvest" is deemed one of the leading contenders to win the Man Booker this year, makes an even more resounding case for keeping out the Americans.
"What I feel is certain is that when the excellent American novelists are included in this, the fixed shortlists of books are much less likely to include newcomers from the old Commonwealth countries or newcomers indeed from the UK and that link is going to be broken," Crace told Reuters.
But Irish novelist and 2007 winner Enright said, in effect, that it was time to move beyond queen, country and Commonwealth.
"The English-language book market is, like everything else, becoming more international, especially with the rise of the ebook," Enright told the Irish Times.
"It is inevitable that a major prize should reflect this globalisation. I always felt the Commonwealth plus Ireland was a bit of a post-imperial, sun-setting-over-the- empire kind of categorisation."

Bengals owner Mike Brown was taken to a Phoenix hospital before the game for what was termed a "minor" health problem. The team said he was to return to Cincinnati and did not attend the game.
Newman returned the interception 54 yards for the early score and the Bengals went on to beat the Arizona Cardinals 19-13 on Sunday night.
"But really," Hall said, "I'd feel almost the same way regardless who we were playing. This was what they call a rehearsal game. ... This builds some momentum for (the opener against) Baltimore."
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — A miscommunication between Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald left the ball right in Terence Newman's hands.
"He pretty much threw it right to me," Newman said. "It wasn't like I did anything, just an errant throw on his part.'
Mike Nugent added field goals of 48 and 36 yards for Cincinnati (1-2).
The Arizona starters' biggest offensive threat came on their first possession of the second quarter. The defense forced the Bengals to punt from their 6-yard line,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, giving the Cardinals good field position at the Cincinnati 41.
The Cardinals (1-2) got their lone touchdown on a 30-yard pass from backup Drew Stanton to rookie John Brown, who stretched out for a diving grab in the end zone with 1:29 left in the third quarter, tying it at 13-13.
Cincinnati backup Quinn Sharp kicked field goals of 34 and 51 yards after that for the deciding margin.
"We kind of gave it to a pretty good football team," Arians said,Discount NFL Jerseys, lamenting the missed opportunities, "and you just can't do that, especially at home."
The Bengals' Andy Dalton completed 13 of 21 passes for 183 yards. Palmer was 7 of 19 for 92 yards. Larry Fitzgerald caught five of Palmer's throws for 71 yards.
Cornerback Leon Hall said "it means something to me, for emotional reasons I guess" to hold Palmer, his former teammate, without a touchdown.
On the Cardinals' second possession,Nike Roshe Run Online Shop, it was third-and-7 from the Arizona 40 when Palmer fired a pass intended for Fitzgerald. But the errant throw went right to Newman,Authentic NFL Jerseys Cheap, who evaded a couple of early would-be tacklers and outran everyone else to the end zone.
Cincinnati inside linebacker Vontaze Burfict left the game in the first quarter with a hamstring injury.
"That's what it is in the quarterback's world," Arizona coach Bruce Arians said.
NOTES: Cincinnati DT Geno Atkins played two series, his first game action since tearing an ACL and missing the last seven games a year ago. ... Bengals rookie guard Trey Hopkins was carted off the field in the fourth quarter with a right shin injury. Moments later wide receiver James Wright left via cart with a concussion. Guard T.J. Johnson became the third Bengal carted off the field in the fourth quarter. ... Arizona was without starting inside linebacker Kevin Minter (pectoral muscle) and guard Jonathan Cooper (toe).
Fitzgerald blamed himself.
Jay Feely,Adam Shaheen Jersey, competing with rookie Chandler Catanzaro for the Cardinals' kicking job, made a 24-yarder, but missed from 48 yards. Catanzaro made a 23-yard attempt.
Palmer was facing the team he was with for the first eight years of his NFL career before an acrimonious split sent him to Oakland. Dalton replaced Palmer as a rookie in 2011.
But it will look like Palmer's mistake.
Statistically, at least, the Bengals' starters had the advantage, outgaining Arizona 198-141 in the first half.
And the Cincinnati cornerback made the most of it,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping.
"I didn't break across the corner's face and I've got to do that," he said, adding that he can't let the quarterback "hang out to dry."
"I guess the good thing is everyone acted very quickly to get things headed in the right direction very fast," Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said, adding that Brown would have preferred to have kept the incident quiet. "We're happy that, hopefully, everything is going in the right direction and hopefully he'll get back with us very quickly."
It was that kind of night for the Arizona offense against a Bengals' defense that ranked second in the NFL last season.
"We had a number of things that were just off," Palmer said, "from overthrows to missed opportunities, some funky things that happened on a couple of routes and some drops."
Both teams played their starters the entire first half.
"On defense, we had some negative plays," Lewis said, 'but overall the effort — and of course the point total — was what you are looking for."
