There is a reason why they call it the "peoples car"- because people absolutely love owning a Volkswagen. It's why more than 5 million folks around the world bought a new Volkswagen last year—a record, by the way. But why does it seem like the streets of Denver are flooded with Volkswagen. We can think of a hundred reasons why Denver Volkswagen loves their VW's, but here are our top five!
1. VW Has Its Eye on the Future with Fuel-Efficient Cars
Over the next five years, Volkswagen will spend 62.4 billion Euro—that's more than $80 billion—to develop some of the most technically advanced cars and SUVs in the industry. Much of that investment—one of the largest in Volkswagen history—is going to focus on developing eco-conscious vehicles with the Think Blue® mantras of efficiency and sustainability in mind, including hybrid, diesel, and electric cars.
2. VW Goes the Distance
In the 34 years Pasadena, California, resident Albert Klein owned his white 1963 VW Beetle, he's racked up a staggering 1,613,281 miles. That's right—1.6 million—the equivalent of driving 238 times around the moon.
Meet Tristan Herbert. He's 35, lives in Reston, Virginia, and used to be a pro snowboarder and motorcycle racer—until an accident sidelined him. Now he's in the driver's seat, racing cars for Volkswagen. He's pretty good too; last year in his rookie season, he finished fourth in the Pirelli World Challenge driving his GTI. An admitted VW junkie, he's on his fifth GTI.
4. VW Infatuation Runs Deep—All Around the Globe
In the 65 years it was built—1938 to 2003—some 21.5 million Volkswagen Beetle Type 1 models were snapped up by owners around the world. That makes it the fourth best-selling car of all time. What's in third place? The hugely popular Volkswagen Golf, of course, with more than 27 million in sales worldwide since its launch in 1974. That means there are a lot of Volkswagen enthusiasts out there.
One of the best parts of having so many fellow VW fans in the world is the unofficial community that's formed. Owners often wave and honk at one another as they pass—even if they're complete strangers. The VW bond is a strong connector.
5. VW Safety Comes Standard
Volkswagen owners love the way their vehicles make them feel safer behind the wheel. And when it comes to safety, Volkswagen leads the industry in the U.S. with nine models being named 2012 Top Safety Picks by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety [4]. Call it safety in numbers.
Denver Volkswagen, McDonald VW, is happy to announce a long list of summer events for the whole family to enjoy this summer.

18 Dec Kate – 1 Year – Williamston NC Photographer
It's always bittersweet when Will and I shoot the one year session that completes our first year baby packages. Personally, I think the one year shoot is the absolute most fun of them all! But at the same time, it's so sad to know we won't be seeing these sweet babies every 3 months anymore. Kate definitely showed all of her sweet personality during her 1 year session. She's walking, smiling, laughing, and is absolutely adorable all the time. I usually think cake smash shots are my favorite, but I think the first shots of Kate's session are my favorite. You see, Kate was wearing a very special outfit. Her outfit was one of her mom, Ginny's, outfits as a baby. How cool! Enjoy these photos of this little cutie! The first few photos are some sweet throwbacks to Kate's newborn, 3 month, 6 month, and 10 month sessions.

James Monroe (April 28, 1758 – July 4, 1831) was the fifth President of the United States (1817-1825). His administration was marked by [[the acquisition of Florida (1819); the Missouri Compromise (1820), in]] which Missouri was declared a slave state; and the profession of the Monroe Doctrine (1823), declaring U.S. opposition to European interference.

Early Years
Monroe was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia, on April 28, 1758, the son of a modest planter. He entered William and Mary College in July 1774, but, caught up by the fervor of the revolutionary spirit, he enlisted in the Third Virginia Regiment in the spring of 1776. As a lieutenant he saw action in the battles in New York preceding Washington's retreat into New Jersey, and he distinguished himself in a vanguard action at Trenton, where he was seriously wounded. For]] two years he served as an aide with the rank of colonel to Gen. William Alexander (Lord Stirling). He was present during the winter of Valley Forge (1777-1778) and participated in the Battle of Monmouth.
In 1780, unable to obtain a field command, Monroe returned to Virginia to study law under Thomas Jefferson, who became a lifelong friend, patron, and major influence on his intellectual development. Monroe was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1782, and his abilities and total dedication to public service won him election in 1783 to the Confederation Congress, where he sat until 1786. Here he organized the opposition to the Jay-Gardoqui proposals, by which the United States would have yielded to Spain its claim to the free navigation of the Mississippi River. He also helped lay the groundwork for territorial government embodied in the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. While in Congress, Monroe joined the advocates of a stronger government, continuing the work of his friend [[James Madison]]. Yet as a member of the Virginia ratifying convention he joined Patrick Henry and George Mason in opposing the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. He considered it defective in the excessive power granted the Senate and in authorizing direct taxes.
In 1789, now a married man, he settled in Albemarle County to be close to Jefferson. Monroe's wife, the former Elizabeth Kortright of New York, was regarded as one of the great
beauties of the day. Reserved and rather cold in her manner, she was to bring to the White House a formality not always relished by Washingtonians. Here in Albemarle their two daughters, Eliza and Maria Hester, were born. A son died in infancy.
Opponent of the Federalists
Elected to the United States Senate in 1790, Monroe joined Madison (then in the House) in combating Hamilton's domestic measures, which emphasized centralization of powers in the federal government. He also opposed Washington's seemingly pro-British foreign policy. Monroe worked with Jefferson and Madison in organizing the Republican Party. His contribution lay in the realm of political strategy and in establishing liaison with anti-Hamilton forces in other states. He also ably assisted Madison in defending the Republican position in the press.
In 1794, when Washington dispatched Federalist John Jay on a mission to Britain, Monroe was named minister to France in the hope that this would appease Republican critics of the administration who feared a diplomatic rupture with France. Because Monroe conceived the purpose of his mission as the preservation of Franco-American amity in the face of Washington's pro-British stance, he acted more as a Republican party spokesman than as the representative of his government. Dissatisfaction with his conduct led to his recall in 1796, engineered by Secretary of State Timothy Pickering. Monroe defended himself by publishing a harsh attack on Washington's foreign policy.
From 1799 to 1802, Monroe served as governor of Virginia, demonstrating great administrative ability and winning praise for his decisive action to suppress a slave uprising (Gabriel's Insurrection) in 1800.
Diplomat for Jefferson
President Jefferson sent Monroe to France in 1803 as a special envoy to assist Minister Robert R. Livingston in purchasing a port of deposit on the lower Mississippi River, because Spain was closing the river to American navigation in preparation for the recently negotiated retrocession of Louisiana to France. On his arrival Napoleon presented Livingston and Monroe with the choice of buying all of Louisiana or nothing. Although not authorized by their instructions they promptly accepted, a decision approved by Jefferson in spite of his doubts about the constitutionality of such an extensive territorial acquisition. Popular approval of the Louisiana Purchase established Monroe securely as a national figure, whose elevation to the presidency was but a matter of time.
From 1803 to 1807, Monroe served as minister to Britain. In 1805 he went to Madrid in a fruitless attempt to persuade Spain to acknowledge the American claim that West Florida should be included in the Louisiana Purchase. In 1806 he and William Pinkney (sent as a special envoy) negotiated a treaty providing for some relaxation of Britain's commercial restrictions. Because the treaty lacked provisions for ending the impressment of American seamen, Jefferson did not submit it to the Senate for ratification. Monroe, convinced that the treaty contained the best obtainable terms, was deeply offended.
In 1808, Monroe ran against Madison, whom he blamed for the rejection of the treaty, for the presidency in Virginia, more as a protest than as a serious candidate. He received little support, and Madison was elected president.
Madison's cabinet
Monroe served in the Virginia assembly in 1810 and 1811 and as governor again in 1811. In the latter year President Madison, facing a Federalist resurgence and divisions in the Republican party, appointed Monroe secretary of state. The appointment restored Monroe's friendship with Jefferson and Madison.
Admired as a practical man by younger congressmen, Monroe formed excellent working relations with Congress and obtained the cooperation of the so-called War Hawks in advancing administration programs. After the outbreak of the War of 1812 with Britain, Monroe's desire for a military command was frustrated by Secretary of War John Armstrong. The latter believed that Monroe had deprived Robert R. Livingston, Armstrong's brother-in-law, of his rightful claim to be the negotiator of the Louisiana Purchase.
In 1814, after the British invasion of Washington, which was widely laid to Armstrong's failure to mount a proper defense of the city, President Madison replaced the disgraced secretary of war with Monroe, who thus held two cabinet posts. A capable and active administrator, Monroe restored the morale of Washingtonians. The war ended, however, before the full effect of his reorganization of the War Department could be felt.
His service in the cabinet had made Monroe an obvious choice for president in 1816. The Republican congressional caucus chose him as the party's candidate over William H. Crawford, who had succeeded Monroe as secretary of war. The Federalist Party had been badly damaged--fatally, as it turned out--by its opposition to the War of 1812. Monroe easily defeated New York Senator Rufus King, the Federalist candidate for president, by 183 to 34 in the voting of the Electoral College.
Presidency 1817-1825: The Era of Good Feelings
The new president adopted a conciliatory policy toward the Federalist critics of the war. Immediately after his inauguration, Monroe toured the New England states, where there had been talk of secession during the war. The Federalists rushed to welcome him and demonstrate their loyalty. Monroe did everything he could to promote the "Era of Good Feelings"--a term first used in a Boston newspaper to refer to the mood created by his New England trip. Monroe believed that this new "era" would place free government on a solid footing by eliminating party rivalry. The experiment, however, did not outlast his second term, because sectional hostility and individual political rivalries shattered the brief unity.
Once he rejected the two-party system, Monroe could not use party loyalty as a means of advancing administration measures. Instead he had to rely on his own considerable personal contacts with congressmen and on the support of cabinet members with substantial congressional followings. He drew into his cabinet some of the most influential men of the day. The four most important were all in their posts by late 1817 and served until 1825. The secretary of the treasury, William H. Crawford, had been Monroe's rival in 1816 and was regarded as his most logical successor. The secretary of state was the experienced diplomat John Quincy Adams. The secretary of war, John C. Calhoun, had been a notable War Hawk. Attorney General William Wirt was a popular figure, famed as a lawyer and writer.
The Navy Department was headed by men of sectional rather than national influence: Benjamin Crowninshield of Massachusetts (1817-1818), Smith Thompson of New York (1818-1823), and Samuel Southard of New Jersey (1823-1825).
Acquisition of Florida
Monroe's greatest achievements as president lay in foreign affairs. Ably supported by Adams, he made substantial territorial additions and gave American policy a distinctly national orientation. Monroe welcomed an opportunity to press Spain to cede Florida and define the boundaries of Louisiana. His chance came when Gen. Andrew Jackson invaded Florida in 1818. In pursuit of hostile Indians, Jackson seized the posts of St. Marks and Pensacola, acts that many persons regarded as violations of congressional war powers. In the cabinet, Adams, an expansionist, urged Jackson's complete vindication, while Crawford and Calhoun demanded that he be reprimanded for exceeding his instructions.
Monroe chose a middle course--the posts were restored to Spain, but the administration accepted Jackson's explanation that his action had been justified by conditions in Florida. The incident led Spain to cede Florida and define, favorably to American claims, the boundary of the Louisiana Purchase in the Adams-On�s Treaty negotiated in 1819.
The Monroe Doctrine
The revolutions in Spain's American colonies, which had begun in the Napoleonic era, had aroused great sympathy in the United States. Monroe, however, held back recognition, in spite of congressional pressure exerted by Henry Clay, until 1822, after Spain had ratified the Adams-On�s Treaty. The South American revolutions raised the possibility of intervention by the European powers linked in an alliance--commonly, but erroneously, known as the Holy Alliance--to suppress these revolutions as they had done in Europe. Britain, prospering from newly opened Latin American trade, opposed this move. In 1823, Foreign Minister George Canning proposed, through Richard Rush, the American minister, that the two nations jointly express their hostility to intervention. Monroe consulted Jefferson and Madison, who favored acceptance. The cabinet was divided, with only Adams strongly opposed.
Anxious to assert American independence in foreign policy, Monroe rejected the British offer, opting for a policy statement in his annual message of December 1823. In this statement, subsequently known as the Monroe Doctrine, he declared that the United States would regard any interference in the internal affairs of American states as an unfriendly act. At Adams' suggestion, Monroe included a declaration aimed at Russia that the United States considered the American continents closed to further colonization. While greeted with enthusiasm by Americans, Monroe's statement received little notice in Europe or South America, and it had no effect on European policy. England's declared opposition blocked intervention by other nations.
Domestic Controversies
In an administration committed to limited government, domestic policies received less attention. Monroe's most positive program was the construction of a network of coastal fortifications to guard against future invasions. Although extensive construction was begun, the program was drastically reduced after the Panic of 1819, when government revenues fell sharply. Monroe, interpreting the economic crisis in the narrow monetary terms then current, limited governmental action to economizing and to ensuring fiscal stability. Although he agreed to the need for improved transportation facilities, he refused to approve appropriations for internal improvements without prior amendment of the Constitution.
The calm of the Era of Good Feelings was permanently shattered by the Missouri crisis of 1819-1820, which exposed an unsuspected depth of sectional hostility. Monroe's role in the conflict was peripheral, because it was contrary to Republican doctrine for the executive to exert direct pressure on Congress. Once the compromise was worked out, Monroe gave it his full support. It admitted Maine as a free state and Missouri without restriction on slavery, barring slavery north of the 36degrees30' line of latitude within the Louisiana Territory.
Monroe shared the widely held view that the effort to restrict slavery in Missouri sprang not from a selfless concern for the welfare of the slaves but from the ambitions of ex-Federalists and discontented Republicans, notably Gov. DeWitt Clinton of New York, to revive the two-party system on a sectional basis. The Missouri crisis had no effect on the presidential election of 1820. The Federalist party had disappeared as a force in national politics, and Monroe, unopposed, got all of the electoral votes but one.
Monroe's second term was rendered uncomfortable by the bitterness created by the Missouri debates and by the rivalry of the aspirants to succeed him as president. In the absence of party machinery, they sought to advance their individual candidacies by attacking administration policies. The activities of Crawford's supporters seeking to damage Secretary of State Adams caused a major setback in foreign policy in 1824, when the Senate so amended an Anglo-American agreement to suppress the international slave trade that the British government refused to ratify. As a result, hopes for an Anglo-American rapprochement were crushed. Calhoun's rivals also blocked administration efforts (Indian affairs were then under the War Department) to begin a more generous policy toward Indians.

Upon leaving the White House after his presidency expired on March 4, 1825, James Monroe moved to live at Monroe Hill on the grounds of the University of Virginia. This university's modern campus was originally Monroe's family farm from 1788 to 1817, but he had sold it in the first year of his Presidency to the new college. He served on the Board of Visitors under Jefferson and then under the second rector and another former President James Madison, until his death.
Monroe had racked up many debts during his years of public life. As a result, he was forced to sell off his Highland Plantation (now called Ash Lawn-Highland; it is owned by his alma mater, the College of William and Mary, which has opened it to the public). He never financially recovered throughout his entire life, and his wife's poor health made matters worse. [1] For these reasons, he and his wife lived in Oak Hill until Elizabeth's death on September 23, 1830.
Upon Elizabeth's death, Monroe moved to live with his daughter Maria Hester Monroe Gouverneur in New York City and died there from heart failure and tuberculosis on July 4, 1831, 55 years after the U.S. Declaration of Independence was proclaimed and 5 years after the death of Presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. He was originally buried in New York, but he was re-interred in 1858 to the President's Circle at Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia.
Religious beliefs
"When it comes to Monroe's ...thoughts on religion", Bliss Isely comments in his The Presidents: Men of Faith, "less is known than that of any other President." He burned much of his correspondence with his wife, and no letters survive in which he might have discussed his religious beliefs. Nor did his friends, family or associates write about his beliefs. Letters that do survive, such as ones written on the occasion of the death of his son, contain no discussion of religion.
Monroe was raised in a family that belonged to the Church of England when it was the state church in Virginia, and as an adult frequently attended Episcopalian churches, though there is no record he ever took communion. He has been classified by some historians as a Deist, and he did use deistic language to refer to God. Jefferson had been attacked as an atheist and infidel for his deistic views, but never Monroe. Unlike Jefferson, Monroe was not anticlerical. [Holmes 2003]
- Apart from George Washington and Washington DC, James Monroe is the only U.S. President to have had a country's capital city named after him—that of Monrovia in Liberia which was founded by the American Colonization Society, in 1822, as a haven for freed slaves.

Abstract: Monroe sparked a constitutional controversy when, in 1817, he sent General Andrew Jackson to move against Spanish Florida in order to pursue hostile Seminoles and punish the Spanish for aiding them. News of Jackson's exploits ignited a congressional investigation of the 1st Seminole War. Dominated by Democratic-Republicans, the 15th Congress was generally expansionist and more likely to support the popular Jackson. Ulterior political agendas of many congressmen dismantled partisan and sectional coalitions, so that Jackson's opponents argued weakly and became easily discredited. After much debate, the House of Representatives voted down all resolutions that condemned Jackson in any way, thus implicity endorsing Monroe's actions and leaving the issue surrounding the role of the executive with respect to war powers unanswered.

ISSN 0026-2927. Abstract: Analyzes Monroe's concern over untoward foreign influence on the presidency. He was alarmed at Spanish diplomat Diego Mar�a de Gardoqui, involving a US attempt to secure the opening of the Mississippi River to American commerce. Here Monroe saw Spain overinfluencing the republic, which could have risked the loss of the Southwest or dominance of the Northeast. Monroe placed faith in a strong presidency and the system of checks and balances. In the 1790's he fretted over an aging George Washington being too heavily influenced by close advisers like Hamilton who was too close to Britain. Monroe opposed the Jay Treaty and was humiliated when Washington criticized for his support of revolutionary France while he was minister to France. He saw foreign and Federalist elements in the genesis of the Quasi War of 1798-1800 and in efforts to keep Thomas Jefferson away from the presidency in 1801. As governor he considered using the Virginia militia to force the outcome in favor of Jefferson. Federalists responded in kind, some seeing Monroe as at best a French dupe and at worst a traitor. Monroe thus contributed to a paranoid style of politics.

Abstract: Assesses Monroe's views on slavery as governor of Virginia from 1799 to 1802, emphasizing Monroe's moderate view of slaveholding during a slave uprising in Southampton County in October 1799. Monroe took pains to see that the charged rebels received proper legal treatment, demonstrating a marked concern for their civil rights. He conducted an exhaustive investigation into the incident and saw to it the slaves involved received a fair trial. Although he opposed abolition, Monroe supported African colonization proposals and gradual, compensated emancipation. When the occasion warranted, as in Gabriel Prosser's rebellion of 1800, Monroe took an unpopular position in supporting fair trials and attempting to explain and justify slave actions. In the final analysis, Monroe believed in the eventual demise of slavery.

Is the US becoming an Ineptocracy?
As one commenter over at ZeroHedge so fittingly put it:
Ineptocracy: A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or suceed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminshing number of producers.
They revisit their analysis from two years ago, explaining how it has become increasingly more lucrative – in the form of actual disposable income – to sit, do nothing, and collect various welfare entitlements, than to work.
Gary Alexander, Secretary of Public Welfare, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (a state best known for its broke capital Harrisburg) […] explained […] "the single mom is better off earnings gross income of $29,000 with $57,327 in net income & benefits than to earn gross income of $69,000 with net income and benefits of $57,045."
Of course, that's just the catchy part – the details are (as usual) much scarier. Full summary and presentation by the Pennsylvania Secretary of Public Welfare, Gary D. Alexander
Chris Martenson's presentation on exponential growth
In this video Chris Martenson, economic analyst at http://chrismartenson.com and author of 'The Crash Course', explains why he thinks that the coming 20 years are going to look completely unlike the last 20 years. In his presentation he focuses on the so-called three "Es": Economy, Energy and Environment. He argues that at this point in time it is no longer possible to view either one of those topics separately from one another.
Since all our money is loaned onto existence, our economy has to grow exponentially. Martenson proves this point empirically by showing a 99.9% fit of the actual growth curve of the last 40 years to an exponential curve. If we wanted to continue on this path, our debt load would have to double again over the next 10 years. By continually increasing our debt relative to GDP we are making the assumption that our future will always be wealthier than our past. He believes that this assumption is flawed and that the debt loads are already unmanageable.
Martenson explains how exponential growth works and why it is so scary that our economy is based on it. In an example he illustrates how unimaginably fast things speed up towards the end of an exponential curve. He shows that an exponential chart can be found in every one of the three "E's" for instance in GDP growth, oil production, water use or species extinction. Due to the natural limitations on resources, Martenson comes to the conclusion that we are facing a serious energy crisis.
This energy predicament is namely that the quantity of oil as well as the quality of oil are in decline. He shows that oil discoveries peaked in 1964 and oil production peaked 40 years later. Martenson also shows how our return on invested energy is rapidly declining — the "cheap and easy" oil fields have already been exploited. In 1930 the energy return for oil was 100:1 or greater. Today it is already down to 3:1 and newer technologies such as corn-based ethanol only provide a 1.5:1 return. Martenson predicts that the time in between oil shocks will get shorter and shorter and that oil prices will go much higher.
Not only oil but also other natural resources are being rapidly used up as well. At the current projected pace of use, known reserves for many metals and minerals will be gone within the next 10 to 20 years. The energy needed to get these non-renewable resources out of the ground is growing exponentially. So we live in a world that must grow, but can't grow and is subject to depletion. The conclusion out of all this is that our money system is poorly designed and that we need to rethink how we do things as quickly as possible.
After finishing his presentation Chris Martenson answers questions regarding a rise in efficiency, alternative technologies and oil prices. He also responds to questions regarding electricity, shale gas, gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and uranium and the race for global resources.
This video was recorded on November 16 at the Gold & Silver Meeting 2011 in Madrid.
Unnatural Selection: Missing females in Asia
There are over 160 million females "missing" from Asia's population. That's more than the entire female population of the United States. And gender imbalance—which is mainly the result of sex selective abortion—is no longer strictly an Asian problem. In Azerbaijan and Armenia, in Eastern Europe, and even among some groups in the United States, couples are making sure at least one of their children is a son. So many parents now select for boys that they have skewed the sex ratio at birth of the entire world.
How did this occur? Why are women and girls becoming scarce in Asia and Eastern Europe as those regions develop? And what will happen when the world's extra boys grow up?
Unnatural Selection: Choosing Boys Over Girls, and the Consequences of a World Full of Men addresses these questions and more—and reveals some unexpected answers. Drawing on extensive reporting in China, India, Vietnam, South Korea, Albania, and other countries, Science magazine correspondent Mara Hvistendahl weaves together the story behind the world's "missing" women into a riveting narrative. The cast of Unnatural Selection includes everyone from prostitutes, mail-order brides, and militant nationalists to geneticists, activists, and AIDS researchers—along with the California fertility doctors hard at work selling the world's parents on the latest form of sex selection. But perhaps the book's most disturbing finding is that the gender imbalance is not, as has often been argued, simply the outgrowth of entrenched sexism. In fact the story of the world's missing women traces, in part, to the United States.
"Yes, it's a rigorous exploration of the world's 'missing women,' but it's more than that, too: an extraordinarily vivid look at the implications of the problem. Hvistendahl writes beautifully, with an eye for detail but also the big picture."―Stephen J. Dubner, coauthor of Freakonomics and SuperFreakonomics

Description of problem:
When processing a document where the DTD declaration is followed by a comment
with a stylesheet that reproduces comments as-is, the new dtd is inserted after
the comment :

<!-- /etc/fonts.conf file to configure system font access -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- /etc/fonts.conf file to configure system font access --><!DOCTYPE
fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
which might be right but is certainly weird and not intended.

Steps to Reproduce:
Use the attached test stylesheet on /etc/fonts/fonts.conf :

fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
Expected results:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- /etc/fonts.conf file to configure system font access -->
Created attachment 92063 [details]
Test stylesheet
The DOCTYPE does not come from the input document but from
the doctype-system="fonts.dtd" instruction of the stylesheet xsl:output
You cannot reasonably expect ordering to get respected there,
the DOCTYPE information is not part of the XPath data model which is
what the XSLt processor sees from the input XML documents. See
for the normative reference.
There is no relationship between the input document DOCTYPE and
the output document DOCTYPE.
Does this mean the doctype will be inserted at a random place in the document ?
Surely not.
The only xml docs I've seen where the doctype were not properly inserted at
document startup were those generated by libxslt. I won't say it's invalid, just
that it is plain weird. There is only a single doctype per document, is it so
hard to put it at the top ? Even if doctypes might end up being phased out, I do
expect them to stay with us for a few years at least.
Random, no.
I think I will fix this. But I think you are wrong stating it
"not properly inserted at document startup"
I also suggest you read the XML spec
especially section 2.8: Prolog and Document Type Declaration
"The document type declaration must appear before the first element in the
[22] prolog ::= XMLDecl? Misc* (doctypedecl Misc*)?
Misc can generate a comment.
Actually rereading the XSLt specification I really thing you are wrong:
See section 16.1 XML Output Method
"If the doctype-system attribute is specified, the xml output method should
output a document type declaration immediately before the first element."
"immediately before the first element" do imply after any comment or processing
instruction generated before the first element, CQFD.
To me it means "black on white" that libxslt behaviour is the Right Thing
to do to comply to the XSLT-1.0 specification, and that your bug report
is actually not a bug at all, but a wrong expectation pushed forward by
someone who didn't care to read and understand the specs first. Am I wrong ?
I am sorry if the XSLT spec is not specifying what you had in mind,
but I will stick to the spec, unless there is an erratum on that point.
If it means only document "were those generated by libxslt" are actually
what an XSLT processor should output, well, I'm very sorry that other
processors are not compliant, they are buggy, and you should ferocely
report to them that their behaviour is not proper, as you tried with
libxslt. Thanks in advance for getting the other implementations fixed for
the sake of interoperability (or get the spec changed).
Really it does seem to me you are following the spec letter but not its spirit.
I doubt whoever wrote this part intended stuff like comments to be shifted
before the dtd, or its wording to be used as an excuse to do so. People
certainly do not - all well-formed xml docs I know put the dtd before everything
else and there are probably programs is the wild expecting it in this exact place.
(Plus if you insist in putting the dtd after comments and misc stuff you should
certainly at least respect the requested indenting and not start the dtd
declaration in the middle of a line)
I'm not asking you to do anything creative, just follow common usage that does
matter at least as much as the actual spec (esp. wrt comments which are actually
intended for humans not software)
However I feel I will not convince you and since I'm not searching a fight here
I'll let it rest now.
I follow the spec, and before getting on the spirit, did you read them ?
The whoever in question is a W3C working group. I have been sitting on
W3C Working Groups for the last 5 years, so thank you for your advice !
The XML Recommendation does specify what a well-formed XML instance is
and it defines where the DOCTYPE can go. Libxslt generated instance is
well-formed, I know what I'm saying thank you :-( (search for my name
it is on that spec I'm part of the people maintaining it !)
I don't care what other software do if they are broken, I really don't
except I want them fixed, and you are right that suggesting that I make
the code non-conformant is rightly something which is gonna annoy me to
no end. And saying that common usage is more important than specs, I would
then really suggest you don't try to speak with any authority in an
XML topic, really, you would be roasted really really fast by the community !
Just try that on xml-dev if you want to get an idea ...

Twitter - A Limited Universe?
02/12/2014 12:01 am EST
Focus: STOCKS
The recent earnings from Twitter caused the stock to drop sharply and MoneyShow's Jim Jubak thinks that the "size" of the Internet advertising pie may be the reason.
Okay, Twitter (TWTR) is facing a kind of disk drive moment. For those of you who aren't as old as I am, that may not be very explicable, so let me go back and explain the inexplicable.
When I first was a cub reporter covering the venture capital and technologies industry, one of the stories I was doing back in the 80s was the disk drive industry, and, what I was doing was talking to a lot of venture capitalists about how they thought disk drives were the next new thing, new capacity coming online.
Everybody was funding disk drive companies, and it was a huge, huge wave, everyone wanted to invest in it. Retail investors and the stock market wanted to invest in disk drive companies, but I started to get this really weird vibe, and it became very clear to me, as I was doing this, that I was talking to more and more venture capitalists who were saying something like, "Well, all we need is 10% of the market," and I realized there was a problem when I got up to my 22nd disk drive company and all these 27 companies needed was 10% of the market.
I think we're seeing something like that with Twitter, that we're going from a period where everybody was saying, "Oh, social media, I want to be part of that trend," to a place where people are talking about social media companies as actually being competitors, that gains by Facebook mean, not just that the market is growing for social media as a whole, but it means that the advertising dollars that Facebook is getting are coming out of the potential advertising dollars that somebody like Twitter isn't getting.
That changed, I think, more than, really, the disappointment over Twitter's growth rate falling from 39% to 30% in terms of new eyeballs, if you will, for the engagement being down. I think it's the sense that maybe the pie is not infinitely expandable for all the companies involved, and that these companies actually do compete with each other and that, therefore, we are talking about, well, a large and growing, but still finite, universe of advertising dollars that social media can compete with and that it really matters who's good at this competition and who's not, and that's raised doubts about Twitter because Twitter, really, so far, doesn't look like it's got the advertising platform to win more market share in a competition like the one that we're starting to think about now for the whole social media sector.
This is Jim Jubak for the MoneyShow.com video network.

By Gregory Cochran, Henry Harpending
Scientists have lengthy believed that the "great breakthrough" that happened a few 40,000 to 50,000 years in the past in Europe marked finish of vital organic evolution in people. during this stunningly unique account of our evolutionary heritage, most sensible students Gregory Cochran and Henry Harpending reject this traditional knowledge and display that the human species has passed through a hurricane of genetic switch even more lately. Human evolution in reality sped up after civilization arose, they contend, and those ongoing alterations have performed a pivotal position in human background. They argue that biology explains the growth of the Indo-Europeans, the ecu conquest of the Americas, and eu Jews' upward push to highbrow prominence. In each one of those instances, the main used to be contemporary genetic switch: grownup milk tolerance within the early Indo-Europeans that allowed for a brand new lifestyle, elevated sickness resistance one of the Europeans settling the United States, and new types of neurological genes between eu Jews.
Ranging throughout matters as diversified as human domestication, Neanderthal hybridization, and IQ exams, Cochran and Harpending's research demonstrates convincingly that human genetics have replaced and will proceed to alter even more swiftly than scientists have formerly believed. A provocative and interesting new examine human evolution that turns traditional knowledge on its head, The 10,000 12 months Explosion unearths the continuing interaction among tradition and biology within the making of the human race.

The first thing you will certainly wish to do is inspect the problem of the metal tracks and rollers for loose screws and dirt located on traditional garage doors. A garage door will certainly open up more efficiently if its rollers run over tough, well designed and unblocked tracks. Also, analyze the rollers thoroughly, ensuring they are clean and in good condition. Rollers do weaken with time and could need to be changed.
With continued usage, the tracks and rollers establish a thick, viscous issue which needs to be removed. This guck on the sliding system of the door includes friction and subsequently slows down done the passing away of the rollers on the tracks, making it difficult to roll the door open. You can remove this sloppy substance with soap used for washing recipes.
The stress springs and the pulley system of your garage door are also vital to look into. In some cases, all you require are these to be readjusted and your door will come in and out fresh. Nevertheless, there are other times when you really have to replace the springs and/or the pulley system.
There is much you can do to repair your garage doors, yet there are times when you must certainly leave it to the experts. One such instance is when your main garage spring requires fixing or changing. The factor for working with a specialist for this job is that it can be dangerous to control these alone. The tension in the springs is merely too expensive.
You ought to not just check out the rail mechanism of your garage door, however additionally all the hardware involved, such as the hinges. You might only tighten a loose joint to get your door to function properly.
One more component that has to be examined is the door opener. Are the batteries dead? Maybe you truly should replace your garage door opener. Nevertheless, if you do replace it on your own, be certain to get a door opener that can be used without needing to change your garage door.
As a final note of recommendations, constantly see exactly what you can do to repair your garage door initially, and after that look around for a brand-new door. You can constantly choose your door yet it is recommended that you get it mounted by a trustworthy garage door installer.

There is an interesting BBC short news documentary called "INTO THE BLUE" being shown on the BBC News Channel (200) at 9.30 pm on Friday 6th July 2018.
It features various things to do with 100 years of the RAF - including a short (very short) bit about W.E. Johns. In fact, I turn up for around one minute talking
about Johns and the Biggles books. The BBC came up to film me and my collection back in May - we filmed around 20 minutes of footage - 95% of which ended
up on the cutting room floor (which is probably a good thing!). If anybody is free 9.30 pm Friday and has the BBC News Channel, then you might want to give it a go.

Oh, how beautiful are the things You have made!
Your voice is great, yet intricate.
Your works are vast, yet precise.
Your art is creative, yet perfect.
What You have made is beyond what the eye can see—
Much is not understood, and even more is yet to be discovered.
Can our minds contain the knowledge of the Lord?
Can a creation have the understanding of it's Creator?
Certainly not.
We cannot fully see His fingerprints,
Let alone grasp His hands.
We struggle to hear His voice,
Let alone fully know the face of the Lord.

Not much I can add to this photograph of Melissa, tiptoeing over the Chicago skyline that isn't already evident in the image. She's always been a fearless collaborator. It wasn't the first time she and I put her in a situation that resulted in amazing art.
We were shooting in my studio. As sometimes happens, what we were trying was missing something. A good effort, but not really the magic both of us were hoping for. So we did what we always do when faced with a creative roadblock. We stopped and took a break.
Melissa walked over to the window and noticed the brooding clouds. "Let's go up to the roof!"
I walked over to the window and very quickly agreed.
Melissa put on a lovely vintage corset. A beautiful pair of wings and a mask followed. And then a robe for the trip up the elevator and some interesting looks from our fellow passengers.
Once on the roof, we climbed to the top of one of my neighbor's private staircases. And yes. I had permission.
Melissa began to stretch and lean and climb some more, ending up on what would normally be the wrong side of the railing. But in this case, so right. She pointed her toes and I realized if she could hold her pose and I moved ever so slightly to the right, she would almost be touching the church steeple on the horizon.
"Hold there… hold there…"

PROFICIENCY & IN-DEPTH RESEARCH In the second year, you'll dive further into specific aspects of your chosen specialisation Fiction or Documentary.
The difference is primarily manifested in long-term photography courses, taught by internationally acclaimed specialists with different backgrounds in photography. An important goal for the second year is to have your personality shine through in your projects. This ambition is helped by courses like Civil Society Lab where you will be encouraged to explore your fascinations outside the world of art and photography. As the focus on technique subsides after the second year, this is the last year to bring your technical skills to the highest level possible. You'll deepen your knowledge and experience of moving image and interactive media in courses that are tailored to your chosen direction. You also follow a course that entirely focuses on presentation techniques - in line with the ambitions within your work. The Individual Study Track (IST) – starting in the second year – provides you an opportunity to follow courses outside the department or to do projects that complement your personal interests. You can also choose to follow an exchange semester at one of our partner institutions abroad. One of the highlights of the second year is the international fieldtrip where you will produce a body of work on a self-chosen topic within one week. The project is preceded by intensive preparatory research. After the trip, you and your peers will collaborate in editing and producing a publication in a one-week workshop.

Short description
The professional attitude of the student is stimulated by examining the study and the program to see how he/she can optimally use this knowledge for the implementation of the program. Setting up an Individual Study Plan (IST) is an important part in semester 1, as is the planning and implementation of Network Week (NNW), in terms of organization and participation. During semester 2, the IST plan is re-defined and approved, but set independently. All curricular activities are part of the BV (professional skills) program. Peer learning is promoted within this range. This means that 2nd year students benefit from the knowledge and experience of the 3rd year students, support 4th year students in building up the exam exhibition, but also pass their own experience to 1st year students and aspirants. Emphasis is placed on the field trip, the building of the final exam exhibition and attending the internship-reflection-days, all stimulating initiative and professional attitude.

Our paper investigating the effects of odor exposure on the physiology of olfactory sensory neurons was published in today's issue of the Journal of Neuroscience. Congratulations to Marley Kass, the lead author!
Our recent paper on the effects of olfactory deprivation on the physiology of olfactory sensory neurons was featured on the cover of this month's Chemical Senses. Congratulations to Marley Kass, the lead author.
We are already planning for this Fall's Flavor and Fragrance Symposium at Rutgers. It is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 12, and all are welcome.
Looks like our presentation at the Flavors, Fragrances, and Perception Symposium was discussed on a taste and nutrition blog. Thanks for the kind words!
We are pleased to be affiliated with Rutgers' new Center for Sensory Sciences & Innovation. Dr. McGann will be speaking at the Center's inaugural Flavors, Fragrances, and Perception Symposium tomorrow.
Our paper demonstrating that intranasal exposure to manganese can disrupt synaptic signaling in the central nervous system is now published in the journal Neurotoxicology. Congratulations to Andrew Moberly and Lindsey Czarnecki, the co-first authors!
We are pleased to announce that Professor McGann has won the Award for Distinguished Contributions to Undergraduate Education at Rutgers. Congratulations!
Our paper showing the rehabilitation of olfactory function after cadmium-induced neurotoxicity is now published in Toxicological Sciences. Congratulations to Lindsey Czarnecki, the first author!
Look for us at the Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C., starting tomorrow.
Our paper demonstrating the utility of our imaging methods for assessing the neurotoxic effects of chemicals in the nose is now published in Neurotoxicology. Congratulations to Lindsey Czarnecki, the first author!
We are happy to welcome our newest graduate student, Marley Kass, who got an early start today before her September matriculation in our PhD program in Behavioral Neuroscience. Marley come to us from Seton Hall, where she earned a Master's degree in Experimental Psychology.
We found a good use for the empty space where the Rm. 316 vestibule used to be before it was bricked up as part of the renovations. Now it houses a microscope for fluorescence imaging from immunohistochemically-labeled tissue. Yes, those are cement blocks from Home Depot. CLICK HERE.
We finally have a functioning tank farm in the wet lab, where tanks containing compressed air, nitrogen, etc, are hooked into a network of pipes that distribute these gases throughout the rest of the laboratory.Check It Out.
We have our first imaging rig up and running. This apparatus allows us to watch the patterns of neural input to the mouse olfactory bulb when a living, breathing mouse smells an odor. To see it, CLICK HERE.
We've finally moved into the renovated laboratory space! They're still putting the finishing touches on it, but we can get our equipment up and running. For some before and after pictures of the renovation, CLICK HERE.
Look for us at the Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting in Chicago on Sunday! Sneha will be presenting her first scientific poster, on the representation of odorant concentration in the olfactory bulb.
The lab renovations are approaching completion at long last. The new walls are done, the plumbing is almost complete, and the casework (the cabinets and benches) were delivered this morning. Check out the tractor trailer that delivered the case work this morning HERE.
Welcome to Lindsey Czarnecki, our new PhD student in Rutgers Psychology! Lindsey joins us from her master's degree program at Seton Hall, and we are very happy to have her aboard.
We're hiring! We're looking for a postdoctoral associate with experience in neurophysiology, behavioral experimentation, or related fields to join us in our research. Please look at our advertisement here
The move is done at last, and we are now ensconced in the Psychology Department at Rutgers. Renovations to the new lab space are underway (sorry about the jackhammers, everyone)!
We're moving! We're very pleased to announce that we will be moving to the Psychology Department at Rutgers University late this summer.
Look for us at the Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting in Washington, DC on Nov. 15 presenting data on how the sorptive properties of an odor and nasal airflow interact to shape the representation of odors in the brain.

The day to back to school is coming soon. I believe many students have prepared to greet the new challenges of new semester. Except for the mood and status, is there anything we need to prepare in consumer electronics?
Nowadays, nearly all the students have their one notebook computers like IBM, HP, Sony, Apple, Dell and so on while some of them need to buy a new one. But if you don't have a rich budget, you have to spend more time on part-time work instead of study or entertainment. Therefore, if you are going to improve the learning conditions but don't want to spend so much, we will recommend you some high cost-performance laptop accessories.
Extended life battery on sale for back to school
At school, especially in class, not all the students can be available to the socket. That is to say, we have to rely on the batteries to last long enough. Obviously, the HP and Dell extended life batteries can be the secret weapons under the plain circumstances of laptop computers.
If your notebooks are high-consumed like Sony and Apple, it is more reasonable to improve the battery capacity. Otherwise, even if they can achieve some attractive and additional functions, they will be power off soon.
High-rate laptop charger on sale for back to school
If there's another device to improve laptop work efficiency and solve the problem of battery capacity, it must be the high-rate laptop charger.
Compared to the normal standard AC adapters, the new higher version Toshiba charger is bound to be more reasonable due to its ability to increase the motherboard running rate. If you don't want to have a new replacement computer, it is really a very good idea to recover your laptop computers.
On the other hand, if you need to charge fully the batteries during break time in school, these high-rate AC adapters can also help you to finish charging in a short time.
To be more fortunate, as these new laptop accessories are more powerful than we imagined, USB Phone World will push out more on sale with some promotion activities. It will be a new start to back to school.

By Dustin Rowles | Industry | December 3, 2008 |
The new season of "Scrubs" starts in a few weeks, now over on ABC. The one major difference we can already detect in the network switch is that, for the first time in years, "Scrubs" is actually getting some promotion. I almost jumped ship after last season - the increasingly daffy J.D. was starting to wear incredibly thin, and even Dr. Cox's attempts at intentional self-caricature couldn't quite save the sinking ship. In fact, I didn't watch the last three episodes until two months ago, and even though they were aired out of order, the show did manage to recapture a scintilla of its original magic, at least enough to make me look forward to this season. Also, there's almost nothing else on fucking TV this year). With "Mad Men" done for the year, "Dexter" and "Amazing Race" nearly done with their runs, and "Pushing Daisies" "Boston Legal," and the unappreciated "Dirty Sexy Money" cancelled, there's nothing left except Thursdays and "HIMYM" come January. "Chuck," so far, isn't even on the winter schedule.
Anyway, per ABC's promotional efforts, here's an actual commercial, a month in advance, promoting the new season of "Scrubs," which will kick off with the stunt-casting of Courtney Cox (I'm not a fan of stunt casting, but both "Scrubs" and "HIMYM" do it phenomenally). The promo itself is a very small variation on a joke they've already done 400 times. But you know what? It's still funny:
And while we're running promos, here's the promo for the last half season of "BSG." I know you folks love it. I dug the first season, suffered through a slow second season, and gave up mid way through the third. That damn show is great for four great episodes per year, but the filler it throws at you in between just isn't worth it. Besides, I hear the last Cylon was actually Ashton Kutcher, which will air in a very special crossover episode of "Punk'd."
Hooch is Crazy / Dustin Rowles
