UK Open Access Implementation Group. A range of public and private sector organisations are committed to Open Access, and have (as appropriate) OA policies, statements of principle or relevant business models that are wholly supportive of OA. This, on its own, has not yet been sufficient to see a major shift toward OA in the UK higher education sector, despite the clear benefits that such a shift would bring. It is proposed that more effective and regular coordination between these organisations will lead to a significantly increased rate of movement toward OA in UK higher education. (2/4/11)

Police have grave fears for a missing Melbourne woman, with homicide detectives taking over the investigation.
Robyn Hall, 35, of Noble Park, is believed to have vanished from a home on Phillip Island more than a month ago.
She has not accessed her bank account or used her mobile phone in that time.
Detective Senior Sergeant Rod Iddles, of the homicide squad, said her disappearance is being treated as suspicious and police have "grave concerns for her safety".
Ms Hall was last seen as residential address on Lantana Road in Cape Woolamai on December 19 about 6pm. She made her last withdrawal from her bank account at 3.20pm that afternoon from a bank in Cowes.
The next day a friend visited the home and discovered Ms Hall and four bags of personal belongings were missing, Detective Senior Sergeant Iddles said.
Detective Senior Sergeant Iddles told radio station 3AW that Ms Hall was staying with a male friend at the Phillip Island house.
Ms Hall told the friend on the day of her disappearance that ''somebody was coming to pick her up'' that day.
He said police were particularly interested in speaking with that person.
He described Ms Hall as an occasional drug user with poor ''day-to-day coping skills''.
Police have released a photograph of Ms Hall in the hope someone may know her whereabouts or what happened to her.
They are also appealing to anyone who might have seen a white van, similar to the one pictured, in the Cape Woolamai area last month to contact them.
People with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppers.com.au.
Meanwhile a mentally disabled man, who had been missing for seven days, has been found safe and well, police said.
After a public appeal, a community member found Jeremy Hogan, of Dandenong, on Swanston Street in Melbourne's CBD about 6.30pm on Thursday.

(Reuters) - Hewlett-Packard Co shares soared near their 52-week high on Wednesday after investors saw signs a turnaround plan was gaining traction, but Wall Street worried the improvement was coming at the expense of margins.
HP shares jumped nearly 10 percent to $27.56 in afternoon trading, after at least one brokerage raised its rating on the PC maker's shares and another nine raised their price targets.
Expectations had been low for HP's fourth quarter following a disappointing third quarter and after rivals IBM and Cisco Systems Inc reported poor results.
But HP surprised on Tuesday, reporting stronger-than-expected revenue due to growth in its enterprise group, which supplies servers, storage and networking products to corporations.
"HP appears to continue to struggle with improving its margins and share together, despite substantial cost cuts - particular in its enterprise business - and we worry about profitless prosperity," Bernstein Research analyst Toni Sacconaghi said in a note to clients.
Chief Executive Meg Whitman said Tuesday the company needed to improve margins, even as HP's enterprise sales rose 2 percent compared with a year earlier and 12 percent versus the previous quarter.
The cause for concern was that its key operating margin slipped to 9 percent in the quarter from 10.4 percent a year earlier, reflecting aggressive pricing and discounts on products as it competes with rivals like Dell Inc and Lenovo Group Ltd.
Brian Alexander, an analyst with Raymond James, said the quarterly results showed "HP is still trying to strike a balance between growth and profitability."
Whitman, who took the helm a little more than a year ago, is trying to put HP back on the growth path though layoffs and focusing on businesses with longer-term potential, such as enterprise and remote computing services.
"HP is cutting costs and headcount, but we believe challenges remain structural, with the company still tuned to selling high volumes of relatively low value-add products/services, likely keeping margins under pressure," Evercore analyst Rob Cihra said in a note.
Overall revenue for the fourth quarter was $29.1 billion, beating the average analyst estimate of $27.9 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
HP maintained its full-year earnings forecast, which J.P. Morgan Securities analyst Mark Moskowitz said was "more than plenty good after Cisco's big disappointment."
Moskowitz, who raised his price target to $30 from $29, said HP's comments on PCs, printing and the enterprise group could suggest a potential bottoming in the company's model, which could attract value-based and long-term investors.
The company, which has been moving away from a declining PC industry, reported a smaller-than-expected drop in PC sales.
"In short, HP didn't guide down for 2014 and that is quite positive so far versus many in 'old tech,'" Barclays analyst Ben Reitzes said in a research note. He raised his price target to $28 from $26.
Some analysts were concerned a slowdown in China would hurt HP. Cisco had warned of weakness in China, while IBM's sales in China declined in the latest quarter.
But Reitzes said HP seemed to be managing volatility in emerging markets far better than its peers, noting revenue in the Asia Pacific region grew 4 percent in the quarter.
Growth in the region was helped by a contract to supply laptops to the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, which BMO Capital Markets valued at about $450 million. HP has not disclosed its value.
Still, Evercore's Cihra raised his rating to "equal-weight" from "underweight," citing an improving balance sheet and a moderation in the decline of its PC and printer businesses. Evercore raised its price target to $25 from $20.
Among the nine other firms raising price targets, three increased to $30. Credit Suisse was the biggest mover, with an increase to $30 from $25.
HP shares hit a 12-month high of $27.77 on August 2. The stock hit its 12-month low of $12.22 in November last year.

If you have been hiding under a rock, you have probably not heard that SQL 2012 has launched. With it, some really cool features are now available to use in our SQL database environments.
Some of these cool new features include some new DMVs, the AlwaysOn feature, and columnstore indexes.
But did you know that there are some new recommended best practices?
Today, I want to share with you a new best practice that involves table naming schemes.
With the release of SQL 2012, it is now advised that tables be named in such a manner that the name is obfuscated. The reason for this is to slow down any would be attacker from quickly finding which table holds the most sensitive data. Currently it is not too far fetched for an attacker to look in a database and figure out where the orders or customer confidential information may be placed. After all, it is fairly common to name those tables in such a manner that the name describes the data.
Now though, the best practice is pushing in a new direction. And no longer is it even a good idea to use legible words. The drive is for full obfuscation of the table name. In an effort to demonstrate, here is a quick script that will create several tables that are obfuscated in name.
IF not exists (SELECT 1 FROM sys.databases WHERE name = 'Fun')
CREATE DATABASE Fun
USE Fun;
DECLARE @rocket CHAR(100)
DECLARE @boost TINYINT
DECLARE @tiers TINYINT
DECLARE @maxtiers TINYINT
DECLARE @overall TABLE (rocket VARCHAR(MAX));
DECLARE @somevar VARCHAR(MAX)
,@someint INT = 0
SELECT @rocket = ' ', @tiers = 1, @boost = 1, @maxtiers = 4
PRINT @rocket
INSERT INTO @overall (rocket)
VALUES (@rocket);
WHILE @tiers < @maxtiers
SELECT @boost = POWER(@tiers,2)
WHILE @boost < 12*@tiers
SET @rocket = STUFF(@rocket, (DATALENGTH(@rocket)/2)-(@boost/2), @boost,REPLICATE('*', @boost))
UPDATE @overall
SET rocket = rocket +CHAR(10) + @rocket
SET @SQL = 'Create Table ['+ @rocket + '_'+ CONVERT(VARCHAR,@someint) +'] (someint int);' PRINT @SQL
SET @boost = @boost+2
SET @someint = @someint + 1
SET @tiers = @tiers+1
SELECT @somevar = rocket
FROM @overall
PRINT 'The following Tables have been created:' +CHAR(10)+CHAR(13)
PRINT @somevar
I like this new standard. Now, I will just design images into my tables that describe the database in whole. As you can see, this particular database would be useful for maybe a space case or maybe a hobbyist with a high enthusiasm for rockets. Or maybe it just works really well for any demo involved with the SQL 2012 Launch. Other than a neat little picture, the tables are completely obfuscated.
Keep best practices in mind whenever designing a database. Maintaining best practices can help protect the data you were hired to manage and protect. In addition to that, make sure you forget every other word of this post. It is complete and utter hogwash. Happy April Fools.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects a few more corn acres and soybean acres in crop plantings for 2013, according to Illinois blogger Stu Ellis (formerly at the University of Illinois) at www.farmgateblog.com.
While that agency, which guides Congress on its policy deliberations, may not be high on the radar of commodity traders, its numbers will come from sources similar to that of USDA. In fact, the CBO may have let the cat out of the bag as far as USDA's crop projections scheduled for release at the Outlook Forum later this month.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its 2013 baseline for farm programs, designed to give members of Congress an idea of how much money would be required to operate commodity programs in the coming year and the following nine fiscal years. Those funds are calculated from acreage and yield projections for major program crops, along with supply and demand estimates akin to the monthly data released by USDA.
The data released by the CBO is likely to be close or possibly identical to the projections offered Feb. 19-20 at the Outlook Forum in Washington, DC.
CBO is projecting a 19.3% participation in ACRE, up from 16.4% the past two crop years. Planted acreage is forecast at 97 million, with a yield of 161.5 bu./acre, which would be slightly under a trend yield for 2013. With total production of 14.454 billion bushels, stocks and imports would raise the supply to 15.121 billion bushels. Demand would be lead by 5.1 billion bushels used for ethanol and 4.975 billion bushels for feed. Exports would rebound substantially from the 1.1 billion bushels from the current marketing year to 1.750 billion bushels. Much of that demand would be based on the average price of $4.51/bu. for the 2013 crop, pushed down by the help of 1.8 billion bushels in carryout.
CBO forecasts 19.3% of acreage to be in the ACRE program, up from 15.1% the past two years. Planted acreage is projected at 77 million acres, with a 43.5 bu./acre national average yield. Total production would be 3.306 billion bushels. With beginning stocks and imports, the supply would be 3.451 billion. The domestic crush is expected to rise from the current 1.560 billion to 1.635 billion bushels for the new crop. Exports are forecast at 1.443 billion bushels, up 100 million from the old crop, putting total use at 3.180 billion and carryout at 281 million. The average price for the marketing year is projected at $11/bu. for soybeans.
CBO expects the current wheat crop to have an average yield of 45.5 bu./acre from 57 million acres planted and 48.4 million harvested acres, which would be just fewer than 85% of planted acreage. Production would total 2.209 billion bushels, and combined with beginning stocks and imports, the total supply would be 3.075 billion bushels. Food use is projected at 958 million, feed use at 250 million, and exports at 1.050 billion bushels, pushing the carryout to 744 million (32%). That would push the average season price to $7.05 per bushel.
Budget outlays
CBO projects $6.242 billion will be needed for 2013 crops, up from $5.06 billion in 2012. That is based on higher outlays for feedgrains and wheat, specifically for direct payments. Those jump from $1.558 billion to $1.982 billion for corn, from $433 million to $560 million for soybeans and from $865 million to $1.072 billion for wheat.
The CBO also projects higher outlays for conservation, rising from $4.692 billion in 2012 to $5.172 billion in 2013.
Crop Insurance Costs
CBO is also forecasting the need for $15.999 billion in outlays for crop insurance indemnity payments for 2012 crops and $10.139 billion for 2013 crops. While the loss ratio for 2013 is set at the theoretical $1 in and $1 out for premium payments and indemnity payments, the 2012 budget for crop insurance indicates a loss ratio of 1.45, or $1.45 out for each $1 premium payment. The CBO projects a total underwriting loss for the 2012 crop season at $12.504 billion.

Adrenalectomy is an operation in which one or both
Alternative Names
Adrenal gland removal; Removal of adrenal glands
Adrenalectomy can be performed in two ways. The type of surgery you undergo depends on the problem being treated.
With open surgery, the surgeon makes one large surgical cut to remove the gland.
With the laparoscopic technique, several small cuts are made.
The surgeon will discuss which approach is better for you.
For the surgery, you will be placed under
After the adrenal gland is removed, it is sent to a pathologist for examination under a microscope.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
The adrenal gland is removed when there is known cancer or a growth (mass) that might be cancer.
Sometimes a mass in the adrenal gland is removed because it releases a hormone that can cause harmful side effects.
One of the most common tumors is a
pheochromocytoma, which can cause very high blood pressure
Other disorders include
Cushing syndrome, Conn syndrome, and an adrenal mass of unknown cause
With any operation or anesthesia, there is a slight risk of:
- Blood clots in the legs that may travel to the lungs
- Breathing problems
- Damage to nearby organs in the body
Heart attackor stroke
- Infection or bleeding
- Reactions to medicines
- Wound that breaks open or bulging tissue through the incision (incisional
Before the Procedure
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
If you could be pregnant
What drugs you are taking, even drugs or herbs you bought without a prescription
During the days before the surgery:
You may be asked to stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), clopidogrel (Plavix), warfarin (Coumadin), and other drugs like these.
Ask your doctor which drugs you should still take on the day of the surgery.
Do not smoke. This will help you recover more quickly.
On the day of the surgery:
Your doctor or nurse will tell you what you can drink or eat the night before and the day of the surgery.
Take the drugs your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water.
Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.
Outlook (Prognosis)
As with any operation, there will be discomfort after surgery.
- Your health care provider will prescribe pain medications.
- You may need stool softeners to avoid constipation.
- Your surgeon will give you instructions about restricting your activities.
Most patients who undergo laparoscopic adrenalectomy have a shorter hospital stay, less pain, and faster recovery compared to the open procedure.
Complete recovery from the procedure may take several weeks or longer, depending on the type of surgical cuts you have.

It seems to be working Just to add to this -- one major advantage of ssh is that it is AFAIK the only remote shell that allows an environment to be uniformly exported to target machines from the originating machines. If you put lines like PVM_ROOT=/usr/share/pvm3 PVM_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh XPVM_ROOT=/usr/share/pvm3/xpvm LAMRSH='ssh -x' in ~/.ssh/environment, it will add these variables to the environment on ALL target platforms when you ssh a command there. One might still wish for a global /etc/ssh/environment under root control, but root has other ways to accomplish the same thing I suppose. Believe it or not this can be incredibly useful. A lot of "user problems" with tools like pvm or lam occur when a user sets up the right environment on one host but the cluster extends onto nodes where the variables aren't correctly set and a user's normal home directory isn't mounted (and its .bashrc or .cshrc environment) are not executed. PVM has even tried to fix at least one recurring version of the problem by making the actual pvm command executed by the user a shell script that sets their PVM_ROOT correctly, but it doesn't set or forward PVM_RSH, so if you use ssh instead of the default rsh it often breaks anyway. One of rsh's biggest weaknesses is its lack of environment forwarding. I was struggling with crude hacks to "fix" this ten years ago (all of which were incredibly ugly and tended to break a lot). rgb -- Robert G.

Established in 1994, the CAR program was created to produce a set of standards for general business practices as well as environmental and safety issues and to provide guidance for member facilities in adhering to these standards. This program is one of the cornerstones of the ARA as the facilities participating strive to provide quality service and parts for the professional automotive recycling industry.
ARA Members - GET CERTIFIED! Join your peers and become certified. Why?
Because industry partners recognize CAR members as market leaders, and
Because regulators know CAR members value quality service and safe practices
Increasingly the market is rewarding those facilities that value quality and safety enough to become certified. To help you assume a leading role in the marketplace, ARA has updated and streamlined the CAR application so it is more user-friendly and evaluates your facility using a more common sense, real-life approach.
The accompanying guide also has been revised and is an excellent resource to help you become a CAR Program member.
Both the new application and guide build on the CAR Program's past successes and include an audit that is based on a point system under which a facility will be evaluated using a point value for each familiar CAR standard. The standards have been reorganized to more closely follow the auditors' facility inspection sequence, but no new standards have been added.
So, join the CAR program today and put your business at the top of the industry for quality service and parts!
CAR Online Training Modules!
Now, more than ever, there's no excuse not to participate in ARA's Certified Automotive Recycler (CAR) Program. We've Enhanced the Program Benefits to Make the Program Even Better for You, the ARA Member.
The ARA Gold Seal program, available only to those ARA members who have completed CAR certification, ensures excellence in customer satisfaction through improved customer service, quality parts with accurate descriptions, reliable on-time deliveries and written product warranties.
With the new addition of the customer complaint system, minimum CSI score standards, mechanical parts warranty, and the requirement of all Gold Seal members to use the ARA parts grading system, why would you buy recycled automotive parts from anyone else?
Established by ARA with an endorsement from the Automotive Service Association (ASA), the program allows recyclers to join forces to take a proactive stance to improve quality and increase customer satisfaction. Click HERE for the Gold Seal Program application!

WASHINGTON – U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood today unveiled the winning submission in the U.S Department of Transportation's Distracted Driving Design Challenge. The "Text & Wreck" icon was designed by 14-year-old Hah'mari Watson of Sanford, Florida.
Download: "Text & Wreck" Icon
Created to raise awareness among young drivers about the dangers of texting and cell phone use behind the wheel, the Distracted Driving Design Challenge invited teens to create an original icon with an anti-distracted driving message that could be shared on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and other social networking sites. The winning design was selected by Secretary LaHood and will be incorporated into USDOT's distracted driving campaign on Distraction.gov.
"The Department of Transportation is committed to helping young drivers get the message that texting and driving don't mix," said Secretary LaHood. "My congratulations go out to Hah'mari for her terrific design, and I hope her social media icon will serve as a helpful icebreaker for young drivers struggling to speak up to others about the dangers of distracted driving."
Hah'mari Watson, a freshman at Seminole High School in Sanford, Florida, was inspired to create her icon because she and her family were involved in a minor car crash caused by a texting teen driver two years ago. While no one was seriously injured, the accident showed Hah'mari how quickly a momentary distraction could have serious consequences.
"I hope my design will help other young people realize just how dangerous it is to text and drive at the same time," said Hah'mari Watson.
Secretary LaHood unveiled the winning icon while delivering the keynote address at the first ever Florida Distracted Driving Summit in Tampa, Florida. The event brought together federal, state, and local officials, law enforcement, traffic safety experts, physicians, and businesses focused on reducing distracted driving in the state.
In June, the Department released a "Blueprint for Ending Distracted Driving" that offers a comprehensive strategy to address the growing and dangerous practice of using handheld cell phones behind the wheel. The plan, which outlines concrete steps stakeholders around the country can take to reduce the risk posed by distracted driving, builds on the national momentum that Secretary LaHood and USDOT have led for the last three years.

ColoradoRuss needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 42 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
Pink Realty
I am opening a real estate brokerage company. The name shall be Pink Realty, and we will market ourselves with the color pink. I currently have a real estate investment company that is also marketed with the color pink. I am fairly well known as the pink lady.
While it would be easy to do so, we do NOT make the pink theme cutsey or childish. We portray ourselves as an elegant group of women.
We will primarily target people who are in foreclosure or are otherwise in financial distress. We will specialize in short sales with these people, and we are very experienced in short sales. We will also deal with non-distressed buyers and sellers, so the items should not be so niched that they are a turn off to other people.
All designs should be elegantly use the pink theme. We will NOT accept anything childish or cutsey.
Prefer a background (mainly for the business card) that has a texture and not just a simple color. For example, http://99designs.com/contests/23296 used Photoshoped cappucino froth as a background. It is muted but interesting.
We require four items. Please see the attached .pdf for more details than below.
One, we need a company logo that is catchy and uses the pink theme. (more details in attached .pdf)
Two, we need a catchy phrase to go with the logo for example Walmart-"lowest prices, guaranteed" or McDonalds-"I'm luvin it" (more details in attached .pdf)
Three, we require a business card design. (more details in attached .pdf)
Four, we need a for-sale sign to place in front of the houses. (more details in attached .pdf)
Deliverable must be printable and include an 1/8" bleed. All raster images must be included in original format and no less than 300 dpi (not extrapolated). Deliverable should be in editable .ai format or compatible. Any unique fonts must be included if not standard on a U.S. Windows computer.

Photo Flash: Donna Drake, Michael Gorman, et al. in MSMT's A CHORUS LINE!
BroadwayWorld has a first look at the production photos below!
A CHORUS LINE is an inspirational story of the road to stardom, including all the chassés, jetés, and pas de bourrées of life. The musical takes its audience behind the scenes and into the lives of the nineteen hopeful dancers auditioning for a spot in a chorus line. The auditions take on a personal component when the director, Zach, asks them to introduce themselves and tell their histories. All of the characters have overcome obstacles and gone through rough patches in their lives. Although their stories are all different, they have followed their dreams to stand together for a chance at Broadway.
Original Broadway cast members Donna Drake and Michael Gorman pilot this MSMT production.

Last year, $8 billion was set aside for high-speed rail lines in the US and then in December, Congress added another $2.5 billion to that total in hopes of spurring high-speed rail transportation. And money looks like it is already beginning to be distributed – the first lucky recipient? Florida. President Obama is set to travel to the sunshine state tomorrow to make the announcement awarding $2.5 billion for the first phase of their bullet train system from Orlando to Tampa that will eventually connect to Miami.
Florida has already acquired a dedicated right-of-way along the I-4 corridor where the rail line will go. This first phase of rail development will include stops at the Orlando Airport, in Orlando, at Disney, Lakeland and then Tampa. With speeds above 120 mph, which is certainly not as fast as bullet trains are running these days (China's averages 217 mph), this will still be faster than driving by car. The 85 mile trip should take less than an hour, and will also provide better transportation for tourists trying to get to Disneyworld without having to rent a car.
Florida anticipates the first phase of their rail line will cost $3.5 billion, and they are currently raising money from private investors to cover the remaining billion after they receive the stimulus funding. Construction is set to be completed and trains running by 2014. And now, Obama needs to decide where the rest of the $8 billion in stimulus funding will go.

Maybe there is hope that the gridlock in Washington can be broken.
And, strangely, the elected official who may be showing the way is U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa.
Sen. Toomey has developed a reputation for being among the most conservative members of the Senate. But he has shown signs that he is able, on occasion, to check his ideology at the door to get things done — even if those things ultimately fail and he attracts criticism from the fellow conservatives for even making the attempt.
The first sign came earlier this year when he joined with West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin in an attempt to get gun control legislation passed. The bill failed — an almost inexplicable failure considering its measures were widely supported by the public — but still, Sen. Toomey made the effort.
In the deeply divided atmosphere of Washington, he deserves some credit for that.
And now, Sen. Toomey has played a key role in moving closer to passage the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which would prohibit workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
It seems odd that, in 2013, this is even an issue. The protection of the law should have been extended to gay and transgender Americans years ago. It seems like a no-brainer.
But the bill faced tough opposition, predictably, along party lines.
This week, Sen. Toomey broke with ideological orthodoxy and voted to move the bill to a vote.
His change of heart to support the legislation gave the bill the necessary votes to avoid a filibuster, clearing the way for its passage in the Senate.
His support did not come without strings attached, though. He did push for an amendment to strengthen the exemption in the bill for religious institutions. The bill already contains such protections; he was seeking to expand them. The amendment failed, but Sen. Toomey still voted in favor of the bill "to help move the legislative process forward," he said in a prepared statement.
All of this may be moot, though.
The bill appears to be dead-on-arrival in the House of Representatives, the place all legislative action apparently goes to die these days.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has expressed his opposition to the bill, as have a large number of House conservatives, claiming that it would harm businesses and cost jobs.
Yet, according to FactCheck.org, those concerns are not reality-based. Many large corporations already have nondiscrimination policies that extend to sexual orientation and gender identity.
Some states have expanded their laws to cover these groups. And it hasn't cost jobs, studies have shown.
Both the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and small business associations support the bill. It is a civil rights issue, plain and simple, and expanding civil rights is a good thing.
So, once again, it appears Sen. Toomey's attempt to show that he can compromise and work with senators across the aisle may be for naught.
And that's a shame. Let's hope it doesn't discourage him from continuing to try.

JK Rowling completes script for 'Fantastic Beasts' sequel
Author JK Rowling has completed work on the screenplay for the "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them" follow-up.
The "Harry Potter" movie spin-off, starring Eddie Redmayne as wizard Newt Scamander, was a huge hit at the box office last year, raking in over $814 billion at the international box office, and novelist Rowling revealed on Sunday things are coming together perfectly on time for fans to see the sequel on the big screen in 2018.
After an anxious fan on Twitter asked, "@jk_rowling have you already write (sic) the script of Fantastic Beasts 2? TELL ME EVERYTHING WOMAN," the author responded with a firm confirmation: "Yes, I have," Rowling wrote, "but I CAN'T TELL YOU ANYTHING YET, WOMAN."
The original "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" film was so successful, studio bosses at Warner Brothers Pictures renewed the franchise to include five films, two more than the initial trilogy agreed upon during pre-production discussions in 2014. The second installment of the series is scheduled to begin filming in July and is slated for release in November 2018.
Jude Law has joined the cast of the follow-up and will play beloved Harry Potter character Professor Albus Dumbledore - a character portrayed by the late Richard Harris and Michael Gambon - as a young man.
Zoe Kravitz, Katherine Waterston, and Johnny Depp have also signed up for the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2" ensemble. Depp will reprise his villainous character Gellert Grindelwald in the movie that is set decades before the birth of Rowling's boy wizard Harry Potter.

Very useful for electrifying discontinuous sections of fence with the same power supply. For example, islands of fruit trees in a paddock. Heavy duty wire, simple connections, excellent.
Sasha G
We use an AC charger to electrify our electric mesh fencing which we move around over a few acres. We had been using posts and wire to carry out the charge. Now we use the insulated cable instead and it is much easier and can be driven or walked over. Well worth the extra cost.

From: Grant Cameron <presidentialufo.nul> Date: Tue, 05 Nov 2002 00:35:05 -0500 Archived: Tue, 05 Nov 2002 10:47:04 -0400 Subject: Bush Says UFO Promise Still On Bush Says UFO Promise Still On Vice-President Dick Cheney recently returned to the UFO capitol of the world - Roswell, New Mexico. It was his first trip there since a visit there during the waning days of the 2000 Presidential campaign. During his first Roswell visit in late October 2000, newspapers reported, "Cheney was greeted by a sign that depicted a little green man with a heart and the name 'Cheney'_as in 'Space Aliens Love Cheney.'" Because Cheney had been a former Secretary of Defense, many within the UFO community speculated that the visit might have been a hint at an upcoming UFO disclosure. Even the October 26, 2000 New York Times noted the extraterrestrial significance of the Cheney stopover with its headline "The Alien Factor: And Out in Roswell." Another reason for the Ufological optimism was that the 2000 Roswell visit by Cheney occurred shortly after the now infamous meeting between presidential candidate George W. Bush and Arkansas native Charles Huffer. It was during that July 2000 campaign encounter that Huffer asked George Bush if he were elected President would he disclose "the truth about UFOs." Bush in reply stated "Sure. I will . . . It will be the first thing he (pointing to Cheney) will do. He'll get right on it." Therefore, when Cheney arrived in Roswell a few months later, many thought it was a sign of positive things to come. Cheney, to the disappointment of many UFO watchers, simply made his speech with no mention of E.T.s or anything remotely close, and flew on to Wyoming. Disclosure didn't come, but the UFO hopefuls still remained optimistic. The latest October 2002 visit by Cheney to Roswell also came with signs that this too could be a nod and a wink to the UFO community. Instead of speaking at the town hall as he had in 2000, Cheney chose to speak to the 3,000 faithful inside Hanger 32 at the Roswell Industrial Air Center. (Formally Roswell Army Air Field) This hanger, of course, is just a hop and a skip down the tarmac from Hanger 84 where the Roswell alien bodies were rumored to have been stored following the now famous 1947 Roswell weather balloon crash. The most recent visit to the old Roswell Air Base also closely mimicked the visit a fellow Republican, and former president, Ronald Reagan made to the base for a campaign speech for then Senator Harrison Schmitt in 1982. Like Cheney, Reagan made a short stopover Roswell speech in late October, just prior to the mid-term election. Like the Cheney visits, the Reagan visit to the Roswell Air Base also stirred up the UFO community, occurring only months after Steven Spielberg had visited the White House and had given a private screening of "E.T.: The Extraterrestrial" for Reagan and three dozen of his close friends and colleagues. While giving his Roswell speech, Reagan always prepared to play to the audience, even mentioned the popular "E.T." in his speech. That's the good news. Now for the bad news. >From the beginning of the Bush administration, the promise made to Charles Huffer for UFO disclosure appeared to quickly fade to a distant memory. Once in office the President Bush did not make UFOs the first thing "Cheney would do." In fact, all evidence pointed to the fact that the Bush White House did nothing on the UFO front. Worse in fact, in light of perceived threats from every direction, the Bush administration made new riveting cold- war style secrecy the order of the day. This new secrecy was not exactly amenable to UFO disclosure. Moreover, Dick Cheney was asked during an April 2001 Washington D.C. open line show, "If he had ever been briefed on the subjects of UFOs, and if so what had he been told." His reply seemed to put out the final embers of the UFO disclosure fire. "If I had been briefed on UFOs," replied Cheney, "it probably would have been classified, and I wouldn't be talking about it." So it was that when Cheney arrived at the Roswell Air Base last month, where in 1947 pieces of the first recovered flying saucer were loaded on planes for Wright-Patterson AFB, his only objectives appeared to be the same as they were in when he visited in October 2000 -- votes and money. The Cheney agenda while in Roswell turned out to be one that would make any extraterrestrial grimace. His 15-minute prepared speech centered on war and the latest international boogieman Saddam Hussein, issues that have elevated the Republicans high in the polls. (Likewise Saddam Hussein playing the same game - has a popularity rating in his own country in the high nineties) "Saddam Hussein must disarm," stated Cheney, "or, for the sake of peace, the United States will disarm him." The second item on the Cheney Roswell itinerary was oil and money. In support of Steve Pearce, 2nd Congressional District Candidate, Cheney was a featured guest at the home of Roswell oilman George Yates, chairman and chief executive officer of HEYCO Energy Group. About 250 guests each shelling out $250 attended. Cheney, who had spent many days in the past year hiding at an unknown location, was now freely visible and available for photo sessions with couples that were willing to put up $1,000. And so it was for the Cheney visit to Roswell. And so it is for elections, and the campaign visits that precede them. They are in the end about votes, and how to get them. It is the person with the most votes who wins - not the candidate with the best plan to save the world. Opinion polls that measure the "what can you do for me factor" in the electorate, are important despite the words of former Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker who reportedly said, "Dogs know what to do with polls." Getting the most votes takes convincing the people that you best represent the opinions reflected in the latest pole. It then takes money to get that image to the voters with advertising, TV commercials, and the like. ($80.00 per voter is being spent in South Dakota) It also takes the proper strategy such as sending in your big guns into close races at exactly the right time to win the marginal vote, as both parties are doing at the closing bell. A few years back former President of Penn State University, Dr. Eric Walker, hinted in interviews that he knew quite a bit about the UFO situation at the highest level. In addition, he hinted that he had been there in 1947, as policies were being developed to deal with the UFO situation. Dr. Walker was asked who made up the group that controlled UFO policy. His reply spoke of "invited" rather than "elected." "They are a group of elite," he stated. "If you were invited into this group I would know." In eight years of contact with various researchers Dr. Walker never indicated that politicians were involved. He stated that the group was international in nature, and that one would need the "mind of Einstein" to understand it. Perhaps as Walker hinted, politicians are not, and have never been a part of the UFO cover-up. They may simply be pawns like the rest of us. Politicians, after all are people doing a job. That job involves following the polls to attract the greatest number of votes, because re-election, and thereby continued power and influence, is the name of the game. Find out what people want for Christmas, and then promise to buy it for them with their own money. These are items that find no parallel in UFO research. Consequently, public support has never materialized for UFOs, because the public does not yet see any financial or security gain coming from disclosure. UFOs do not yet look like a Christmas present. UFOs would not be in the top hundred concerns in opinion polls, as they do not yet represent an economic or security concern such as the items that now dominate the polls. In addition, the UFO disclosure movement suffers from the fact that there are very few financial backers to finance a 21st century UFO political campaign. This is because the money behind many present day politicians (oil industry, military, legal firms, business, and big stock holders) is tied into the "old economy" -- the one the UFO technology will leave behind. People are motivated by self-interest --surprise, surprise! Politicians are transitory figures who come and go. The president, for example, has a term of no more than eight years. The UFO phenomenon, by all indications, is a long-term problem faced by those who hold the reins. It is therefore not logically a problem that would ever been handed over to a bunch of short- term politicians who are here today and gone tomorrow. It is also hardly the type of problem that could be dealt with by referring to opinion polls for guidance. Wilbert Smith, who directed the Canadian government's classified UFO study from 1950-1954, described the politician's UFO dilemma in a paper he wrote to describe why the government covered up the UFO phenomena. "Politicians have two interests in life; first to win an election, and second, to do as good a job as possible of representing their constituency. Neither of these could be considered as embracing flying saucer investigations. True, a member of the house may ask questions about flying saucers, suggest that something might be done about their study, or even introduce a bill to take definite action, but without strong public support the result is only so much more wordage in the official record. Furthermore, because of the type of publicity from which the whole flying saucer subject has suffered, politicians who are naturally very sensitive to public reaction are reluctant to stick their necks out. In light of the foregoing reasoning I feel that we need not expect any significant statement with respect to flying saucers by any government agency." This is the true signal that should be perceived from the recent Cheney visit to the holiest of all UFO shrines. Like Reagan before him, Cheney was a simply a politician doing his job. That job was to come to the aid of a congressional seat that was close and therefore winnable. Furthermore, being a prominent figure he used his prominence to help gather the millions in campaign funds needed to win elections and gain political power. Once gas tops $20.00/gal., or once pollution creates major damage to the U.S. economy, UFOs might move onto the electors "Christmas wish list." The election of 2002 is, however, still dominated by the oil-generated economy and short-term public concerns. The future, however, is not all bleak. Disclosure is not dead yet. Today as President George Bush made a last minute swing through the American Midwest stumping for Republican candidates, he ran across the man who started it all -- UFO researcher Charles Huffer. As Bush headed for Air Force One Huffer stuck out his hand and reminded him of the July 2000 promise to release "the truth on UFOs." Huffer asked him if the promise still held. Bush's answer was "Yes." In an E-mail to this author Huffer stated the following, "Today as This afternoon, 4 November 2002, President George W. Bush attended a Republican Campaign Rally at the Northwest Regional Airport (XNA) in Northwest Arkansas. After the rally was over, while on the way to Air Force One, President Bush shook hands with some of the people at the rally. My hand was one of those. I took the opportunity to remind President Bush that he had promised ME over two years ago that he would tell us the truth about UFOs. I then asked if he intended to keep that promise. He answered: 'Yes'". "Unfortunately, this time I did not have my recorder with me so this report is no better than hearsay. But it did happen." --

If you're anything like me—and I certainly hope you're not, on any level—you've got a weakness for a good sale. Or any sale, really. For people like us, Black Friday and Cyber Monday present a conundrum: thousands of items, none of which you would buy under normal circumstances, paraded in front of your wallet at absurd discounts. So what did you in?
Since this is a safe place, I'll start. I bought a leaf blower, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, an external hard drive, 840 baby wipes. And that's just for starters.
Let's have it, then. Share your biggest Black Friday regrets below, and remember: no judging. Unless it really, really deserves it.

Hulu adds "The Wrong Mans" original
Hulu will roll out several original programs between now and the end of the year, including animation, documentary and supernatural efforts. Two that are most intriguing: "The Wrong Mans," an unusual comedy thriller, and the original Scandinavian version of "The Bridge" (the English-language adaptation recently concluded on FX). More about that when it's available for screening.
In "The Wrong Mans," Tony-winner James Corden, Mat Baynton and Jim Field Smith's comedy-thriller premiering Nov. 11, a geeky office worker picks up a ringing telephone at the scene of a car crash and sets in motion a crazy-funny mystery. Wrong place, wrong time, wrong mans. This clever co-production of Hulu and the BBC is co-written by and co-starring Tony Award-winner Corden ("Doctor Who," "Gavin & Stacey"), and Baynton ("Spy," "Gavin & Stacey"), and directed by Smith ("Episodes").
All six episodes of "The Wrong Mans" will be released on Hulu Plus beginning Nov. 11; Hulu.com viewers can find the first two episodes then, with future episodes rolling out weekly through Dec. 19.

Unsurprisingly, Beyonce Is Even Better at Posing for Vogue Than Everyone Else Is [PHOTOS, VIDEO]
Yet another thing Beyonce does perfectly: cover Vogue.
The proud mom and beacon of beauty and class is the cover girl for the coveted March Power issue of the fashion Bible, and, as usual, she slayed it. Because who run the world?
The mag rushed to release Bey's photos after the cover leaked, but they would have been worth waiting for anyway. The girl is stunning.
Queen Bey rocks glowing skin and mod-style winged eyeliner and a bombshell bouffant throughout the shoot, but the similarities in the photos end there. Each one has a completely different style fashion-wise, and she pulls them all off successfully because she's Beyonce.
In one happy shot, Beyonce rocks a short black number that may evoke memories of her flawless Super Bowl Halftime performance, though this one is fabric and not leather -- and she sports it over black and white striped leggings.
Beyonce gets romantic in a crepe-style red gown, lounging on a chaise, then slays it yet again in crimson and navy lingerie. (Jay-Z, the world envies you.)
Of course, most of these are clothes only Beyonce can make look good because she's Beyonce. Case in point: Don't try that cream-colored scale-covered dress at home, kids.
As for the interview, it's a revealing look at the person behind the perfection.
On her upcoming fifth solo album: "[The album] is a lot more sensual… empowering. Right now, after giving birth, I really understand the power of my body. I just feel my body means something completely different. I feel a lot more confident about it. Even being heavier, thinner, whatever. I feel a lot more like a woman. More feminine, more sensual. And no shame."
On her pregnancy: "I felt very maternal around eight months, and I thought I couldn't become any more until I saw the baby… But it happened during my labor because I had a very strong connection with my child. I felt like when I was having contractions, I envisioned my child pushing through a very heavy door. And I imagined this tiny infant doing all the work, so I couldn't think about my own pain. We were talking. I know it sounds crazy, but I felt a communication."
On Blue Ivy's birth: "My family and my closest people were there when I gave birth. Everything that scared me just was not present in that room. So for me to really let go and really appreciate every contraction… it was the best day of my life."
So yeah. Not only is Beyonce more talented and more photogenic than you, but she's probably also better at giving birth.
All hail the Queen Bey.

This fact also accounts for why so much surviving art from earliest times is religious. For the most part, only religious architecture survived wars and political upheavals while at the same time being seen as worthy of the tremendous efforts needed to preserve it from the ravages of time. And in preserving the outer shell, the inner worth was also preserved. One has to wonder how many churches, chapels, even cathedrals have been preserved as much for the great art they contained as for their religious worth. And if this is true in the religious realm, think how it must be doubly true in secular architecture where the initial purpose of a structure's being built, its style, and its practical features, are outdated perhaps in less than a century. Many such structures, from the outside at least, are architectural monstrosities, yet because of the art housed within them, they still stand, now museums, inns, restaurants, and other tourist destinations.
In at least one case, the painters' art even saved an architectural structure. Around 1508, the initial architect of St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome, Donato Bramante, wanted to tear down the Sistine Chapel and build a new, and no doubt better, private chapel for His Holiness Pope Julius II. They consulted Michelangelo, in Rome working on the Pope's tomb at the time. Even he conceded that the poorly proportioned structure, built just a generation before as much as a fortress as a chapel (the walls at the base are some six feet thick), had no redeeming architectural qualities whatsoever demanding its preservation. And what art there was on its walls at the time was mediocre at best (by Renaissance standards) and in relatively poor condition. However, in the midst of starting a new cathedral and facing the upcoming demolition of the old St. Peter's Basilica as the new one literally rose around it, the Pope had neither the stomach for tearing down such a perfectly good church (built by his uncle, Pope Sixtus IV) nor the budget for putting up two new ones. So instead, much to Michelangelo's dismay and distress, the Pope commissioned (indeed demanded) that he "fix" the errors of the chapel's original architects by decorating the ceiling in such a manner to minimise, if not totally conceal, them. It was a fortuitous decision for painting, if not architecture, and a much cheaper alternative given the little Michelangelo was paid for the task. Though he got off to a very reluctant, rocky start, over the next four years, the Renaissance sculptor turned painter rose to the occasion and succeeded beyond anyone's wildest dreams.

A Tale of Two Scandals
Forty-one years ago, during a small and largely ignored government scandal, a great mystery occurred. A group of determined congressional investigators, who had learned the president of the United States was running a voice-activated taping system in the Oval Office, pressed to get their hands on the tapes. The courts ruled in their favor. The White House had to hand over a number of tapes. But it turned out one of them, which was understood by the timeline to potentially be the key one, the one that might reveal exactly how the scandal began, turned out to have an 18½-minute gap.
It came to pass that the longtime personal secretary of the president, Rose Mary Woods, who had been transcribing the tapes in preparation for turning them over, said she had made "a terrible mistake." She had been listening to the tape when the phone rang; she turned, picked it up, meant to hit the stop button on the tape recorder but hit the record button instead, spoke on the phone for five minutes and when the conversation was over found that five minutes of the tape had been recorded over. Later, and doubly mysterious, it turned out that a total of 18½ minutes of the tape had been erased. No one knows to this day how that happened. The president's chief of staff, Alexander Haig, once mused it might have been the work of some "sinister force."
A few members of Congress went mad with fury, but nobody else really noticed or cared. It was a time of such drama—Vietnam, student demonstrations, a cascade of other scandals to distract the attention of the press. So everyone ignored what happened with the tape, and the Watergate scandal, as it was called, did not end in the impeachment of a president. It just went away, in time became "old news." Well, the president had said there was "not even a smidgen" of corruption in the story, so there you are.
Ha, wait, that's not what happened.
The 18½ minutes of destroyed evidence had a galvanizing effect on an already galvanized national scandal. Rose Mary Woods was hauled before a grand jury, questioned, derided, called a pawn in a criminal coverup. She endured for the rest of her life what the New York Times in its obituary called a "hideous, disfiguring fame."
And Richard Nixon's government of course came crashing down, as did he.
Why is this pertinent?
Because the Obama administration is experiencing what appears to be its own Eighteen-and-a-Half Minute moment. In a truly stunning development in the Internal Revenue Service scandal, the agency last week informed Congress that more than two years' of Lois Lerner's email communications with those outside that agency—from 2009 to 2011, meaning the key years at the heart of the targeting-of-conservatives scandal—have gone missing. Quite strangely. The IRS says it cannot locate them. The reason is that Lerner's computer crashed.
What are the implications of this claim? It means no one can see any emails Lerner sent to or received from other agencies and individuals, including the White House and members of Congress.
And what is amazing—not surprising, but amazing—is that if my experience of normal human conversation the past few days is any guide, very few people are talking about it and almost no one cares.
The IRS scandal as a news story carries a stigma, and the stigma is in part due to the fact that when it broke, when Lois Lerner last year made her admission, with a planted question at an American Bar Association gathering, that the IRS had made some mistakes with conservative groups, and disingenuously suggested the blame lay with incompetents in a field office far from the Beltway, conservatives and partisans jumped. The mainstream press was inclined to believe Lerner, or believe at least that a series of mistakes had produced a small if embarrassing so-called scandal. Some conservatives, activists and partisans, not all of them sincere and not all of them serious, viewed the story primarily as another cudgel to use against the president and his party. Some no doubt viewed it as a fundraising opportunity.
The press viewed it not as a story but as a partisan political drama. And in partisan political dramas they are very rarely on the Republican side.
I haven't ever met a reporter or producer who wasn't a conservative who didn't believe the IRS scandal was the result of the bureaucratic confusion and incompetence of some office workers in Cincinnati who made a mistake.
But the IRS scandal is a scandal, and if you can't see the relation between a strangely destroyed key piece of evidence in an ongoing scandal and what happened 41 years ago with a strangely destroyed key piece of evidence in an ongoing scandal, something is wrong not with the story but with your news judgment. (We won't even go into the second story last week, that the IRS sent a big database full of confidential taxpayer information to the FBI.)
It would be very good to see the mainstream press call for a special prosecutor…

|Statement by Ambassador LIU Zhenmin on Scale of Assessments at the Fifth Committee of the 64th Session of the UNGA
Statement by Ambassador LIU Zhenmin on Scale of Assessments at the Fifth Committee of the 64th Session of the UNGA
New York, 5 October 2009
Mr. Chairman,
At the outset, please allow me to congratulate you and other members of the bureau on your election. The Chinese delegation is convinced that under your leadership and with the concerted efforts of all Member States, the Fifth Committee will successfully accomplish all the tasks entrusted to it.
The Chinese delegation would like to thank Mr. Bernardo Greiver, Chairman of the Committee on Contributions (COC) for his introduction of the Committee's report (A/64/11), and Mr. Lionelito Berridge, representative from the Secretariat, for his introduction of the report on multi-year payment plans (A/64/68). We align ourselves with the statement made by the distinguished delegate of the Sudan on behalf of G77 and China.
The Fifth Committee at this session is scheduled to discuss and adopt the scale of assessments for the period 2010-2012. At its 69th session, the experts of the COC, based on facts, engaged in careful and serious discussions on the scale of assessments and put forward their proposals. The Chinese delegation appreciates the work of the experts. I would like to make some brief comments and suggestions on the scale methodology for 2010-2012:
First, capacity to pay should be strictly adhered to and serve as the basis for arriving at a practical and scientifically based scale of assessments. Capacity to pay has been the cornerstone of the scale methodology ever since the inception of the United Nations. It also reflects the general consensus of the broad membership. When measuring a member state's capacity to pay, we should not only look at the size of the economy and its gross national income, but also consider its per capita income. While the former is the basis, the latter is the decisive factor. Over-emphasis on gross national income, and disregard for factors such as the size of big population and low per capita income is disrespectful of human rights, unjustifiable and unfair.
Second, only by allowing reasonable income adjustment can we ensure that Member States are assessed in accordance with their actual capacity to pay. Low per capita income adjustment is an important element in the scale methodology, the essence of which is to make adjustment to the economic aggregates based on per capita income level to alleviate the difficulties in payment encountered by Member States with low per capita income. Low per capita income adjustment should be equally applicable to all Member States. They are entitled to adjustment based on the same set of criteria as long as they qualify as low per capita income states. Evidently, Member States with big economic aggregates yet low per capita income fall into this category. Any proposal to limit the rate of adjustment based on a state's share in the world economy or to put an artificial ceiling on adjustment runs counter to the principle of capacity to pay.
Third, it is in the interest of all Member States to maintain the stability of the scale of assessments. The existing methodology is the result of long and hard negotiations and full consultations among all Member States. It reflects the consensus on capacity to pay, and due consideration has also been given to other elements as well as different viewpoints and positions. The current methodology has been applied for three consecutive scale cycles. Practice has shown that it is reasonable and has served us well. As decided in relevant GA resolutions and to ensure that UN has a stable and sound financial foundation for its functioning, the scale of assessments should be kept relatively stable, which is also fair to all Member States. In addition, the world economic and financial crisis is still deepening. Its effects on the capacity to pay of Member States, developing countries in particular, can not be ignored. Consequently, it is not advisable to adjust scale of assessments by a large margin.
Mr. Chairman,
China is in favor of adopting the same methodology used for the current 2007-2009 scale to prepare for the 2010-2012 scale of assessments. As a responsible developing country, China has always actively honored its financial obligations to the UN. Even when we suffered huge losses last year during such severe natural disasters as the earthquake in Sichuan, and when this year our deficit reached historic record as a result of the impact of the global economic crisis, the Chinese government has consistently paid its assessed contributions in full and on time. Meanwhile, as a permanent member of the Security Council, China has assumed additional financial obligations in peace-keeping. China stands ready to make an even greater contribution to the UN on the basis of capacity to pay, as our economy continues to grow. China's assessment rate has increased from 0.995% in 2000 to 1.54% for 2001-2003, again to 2.053% for 2004-2006, and to 2.667% for 2007-2009. It represents an increase of almost 3 fold in a short span of 7 years.
According to the calculation provided by the COC by using the current scale methodology, China's assessment rate for 2010-2012 will go up further to 3.189%, an increase of 0.522 percentage point over that of 2007-2009, which represents a growth of 20%. I would like to stress here that, even though the recommendations of COC will lead to a significant increase of China's assessment rate and China's economy is also facing many difficulties, so long as the rate is calculated by using the existing methodology, thus in keeping with the principle of capacity to pay, China is willing to give it favorable consideration.
Mr. Chairman,
We also need to bear in mind the fact that, despite its rapid economic development in recent years and its impressive GDP figures, China is a country with the largest population and it still faces enormous challenges at home. In 2008, China's per capita GDP is $3,000, ranked around the 100th place in the world and this is still a far cry from the average per capita Gross National Income (GNI) of $7,119 (the threshold). As of the end of 2008, there are still 43 million Chinese living in poverty. By the standard of the World Bank which considers those living on less than $1.25 a day as poor, China's poverty population will total 250 million, the second largest in the world. Economic development, poverty eradication and the realization of modernization remain daunting challenges for China. The evaluation of China's capacity to pay should not be conducted without taking into account China's specificities.
Mr. Chairman,
The Fifth Committee has a heavy workload during this session of the GA. Its members will deliberate on many important agenda items including the scale of assessments for the period of 2010-2012. The Chinese delegation hopes that all parties can, in the spirit of understanding, cooperation and pragmatism, engage in consultations on an equal footing, and reach consensus at an early date on the scale of assessments for 2010-2012.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Backward-compatibility vs. forward-fittingMonday, April 12th, 2010
I have serious problem with Adobe. I just watched a presentation video from Adobe on CS 5 here (YouTube video). My problem is with their last feature: exporting Flash animation to HTML5 canvas.
This seriously encourage people to stick with outdated technology (it is debatable, but this is my view) and not move on to program directly in future technology (HTML 5). Well, this, obviously, is what Adobe wants. However, Flash is never a good platform to develop with. I've heard some experienced Flash developers (and mind you, these are the good ones, not your run-of-the-mill Flash developers) complaining about the shortcoming of Flash technology. Why should we let programmers get lazy and stick with lousy platform when there is momentum to force them to move on to newer, cleaner technology. (Yes, part of the problem is the developers themselves; lots of lazy ones out there.)
Apple might not do everything right, but I totally support their attempts to stamp Adobe out of iPhone/iPad, including the infamous change of Section 3.3.1 on top of not implementing Flash at all in iPhone and iPad.
