Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
The Washington Treaty of 1922, a watershed event designed to head off a potentially dangerous arms race between the major naval powers, agreed to legally binding limits on the numbers and sizes of principal warship types, effectively banning the construction of new battleships for a decade.
Warships After Washington is unique in its coverage of the political and strategic background of the treaty with analysis of exactly how the navies of Britain, the USA, Japan, France, and Italy responded. For the first time, warship enthusiasts and historians can understand fully the rationale behind much of inter-war naval procurement.
John Jordan, the editor of the prestigious Warship annual, is the author of a number of naval books including French Battleships, 1922–1956.
~Praise for Warships After Washington~
"The scope of the task the author has set himself is immense but he rises admirably to the challenge through a combination of clear structure, concise prose and insightful analysis…Essential reading for anyone with an interest in twentieth century naval history."
— Naval Books of the Year column in Warship, 2013
"While anyone interested in navies and ships will fine this book rewarding, it will be of particular value for students of seapower and naval technology in the twentieth century."
— The NYMAS Review
"…An engrossing and detailed account."
— Nautical Research Journal
"John Jordan's excellent book on the development of the five major fleets in the 1920s is destined to be bought by the service institute libraries around the world (if it hasn't been already!) and fully deserves to be. Detailed and technically adroit, this volume provides an in-depth investigation into warship construction and modification in the post-Washington era…Splendid and authoritative though the rest of the book is, Warships After Washington is not likely to be read cover to cover at one sitting. Instead it is one of those volumes that can be delved into selectively as well as mined usefully for all kinds of fascinating details about armaments, displacement, engines, range, size, and types of vessel conceived of and/or developed in these years. Jordan's expert knowledge of these warship issues is given full range and shown to be wholly commendable. As an additional asset, he writes fluently and with great insight (except on the political background where he is a little shakier). Nonetheless, this reviewer recommends his work enthusiastically to anyone interested in naval history in the 1922-1930 period."
— International Journal of Maritime History
"Jordan has performed a very helpful service in compiling Warships After Washington. It will be a useful reference and an accessible entry point to anyone interested in warship development during the 1920s."

My guess is that the player who controlled Wurmcoil Engine doesn't get the tokens because Mimic Vat's exile resolves first and the creature doesn't land in the graveyard. Am I correct?

Your interpretation is incorrect.
Each card has a triggered ability. The current oracle rules are:
Wurmcoil Engine
Mimic Vat
So both triggered abilities go on the stack when the non-token Wurmcoil Engine dies. What is confusing you is that they do not immediately resolve. (See section 603 of the Comprehensive Rules.) Technically, whoever has priority puts their triggered ability on the stack first, but in this case, it doesn't matter much.
Therefore, the controller of the Wurmcoil Engine gets the two artifact tokens and the controller of the Mimic Vat may have the Wurmcoil Engine imprinted on their Mimic Vat. If they choose to do so, the Wurmcoil Engine card is exiled and any other imprinted card is returned to the owner's graveyard.
If and when a Wurmcoil Engine dies and goes to the graveyard, its ability will trigger and go on the stack. If it was a non-token creature at the time it died, Mimics Vat will also trigger at the same time and go on the stack. The active player decides the order in which they are put on the stack, but either way, both effects will resolve unless countered. Meaning: for a non-token Wurmcoil Engine, 2 tokens will be created and it can be exiled with the Vat.
A Wurmcoil Engine (or a token copy thereof) that gets exiled neither gives tokens nor triggers the Vat. However, if you have a way to destroy or sacc a Wurmcoil Engine token before it is exiled, the token Engine will also create its 2 smaller tokens, though still not trigger the Vat.
The players gets the tokens. The key here is that both the abilities are triggered abilities and no replacement effects. If it would have been worded something like: "If a creature would be put into your graveyard from play you may exile it instead. If you do imprint that creature on ~this~.". Then the creature would never be put into the graveyard and the creature's "When put into graveyard" would not trigger.

I am learning German now, I just learned how to say "where do you come from?" in German. I can say "I come from Beijing, China" in English, and I may say "Ich komme aus Beijing. Ich komme aus China." So, can I say "Ich komme aus Beijing, China." in German? Thanks in advance!

From my point of view, that is not a phrase people say in german. There are two ways to tell where you come from:
In my opinion, it is perfectly fine to omit some of the information. If your conversation partner wants to know more, there is nothing wrong with requiring a second question.
In case we do not only want to tell people the country where we come from but also the city where we live we would put it similar to this:
As always there are many more variants to this. All is in common that we put the extra information in a separate sentence or in a subordinate clause introduced with a conjunction.
In written German it is also possible to put the country a city is in separated by a comma:
Most people in Germany will know Beijing from its German name "Peking". Everybody will know that it is the capital of China so there is no need for further explanations. "Beijing" on the other hand is not widely used. Most Germans will not even be able to spell it.
Ich komme aus Beijing in China.
A lot of people will understand the word 'Peking' (incorrectly pronounced [ˈpeːkiŋ] in German) more instantly, which sounds a little naff to people who have been exposed to matters regarding China a bit more, but it was quite normal even among these just 10 to 15 years ago, and it is still widely used in the media.
BTW, I believe you can phrase it this way in English as well: "I come from Beijing in China." The city+comma+state form seems more typical e.g. for people within North America who would say/write something like "I'm from Paris, Texas." (I still have to watch that Wim Wenders movie…) But on the international level there is nothing wrong using 'in'. (Well, except in forms and tabular CVs, where "City, Country" is probably the standard anywhere.)

I apologise for my last thread never taking off. I started the Erfurt save and just couldn't get into it after my last save being so much fun and so long-term. Because of that I decided to not start a new thread until actually getting into a game and finally I have reached that point at half way through my second season. As the thread title suggests, this game is all about taking over clubs who have failed to achieve their past successes or who have fallen on hard times and taking them back to their former glories. I have also decided to combine this journeyman career with the aim of complete as many remaining game "achievements" as possible. My goals for the game are:
- Stay at a club for five years. Usually I get bored of clubs after a few seasons and have never stayed anywhere for a period of time.
- Win a continental competition. Have been in European finals a few times. Amazingly lost all of them on penalties. Have never managed a really big club and will probably need to do this to achieve the goal considering I haven't loaded the English league which is the only one with enough money to make it easy to turn a small club massive in no time at all.
- Win three consecutive titles. Have won two multiple times but then move on. I think this should be easy to do with the major club/five year aims.
- Win an international championship. Won the Olympics once but haven't bothered to take over a senior national team yet. Will give this a go once I get bored with club management.
- Win five different league titles. Have done this but in separate saves. Want to win multiple titles as a journeyman manager.
- Become the greatest manager on the game.
I started this save in 2018/2018 as Feyenoord. Must say that it's so much harder than I expected. My chairman is a real asshole and won't give me anything at all even though I am spending only half of the wage bill and the club's reputation is tiny. Ranked below mighty clubs such as Heerenveen, Groningen, Vitesse, Roda etc.. We're so small that Sparta Rotterdam players won't leave to join us. Finished season one in fourth position. Challenged for the title but fell away completely after an awful run. This season we're more mid table right now. Really struggling to compete with European games (Europa League), cup games and league games. I can't sign any good older players because they aren't interested and also insist on tiny minimum fee release clauses so it isn't economically sensible. Therefore my average first team age is around 20. Maybe even lower. Idea's to sign younger players on five year contracts and then sell them on if they won't sign extensions.
Here's the table from my first season:

Here's the table showing my awful start to this season:

I've played my backups for every single Euro Cup game apart from Rangers at how (won 5-2) which I saw as the key match to qualify. Can stick with the backups again now as we're pretty much through barring a miracle.:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
This game seems like an incredibly difficult challenge with Ajax being so wealthy, reputable and strong compared to everyone else. Vitesse are also awesome because of the Oligarch owner. PSV are much stronger than me too. This season I just want to get back into the Euro Cup. Will also have to sell on some of my best players in all likelihood in the summer. Right now hard to say what my goals are. 3rd and 4th are the same in terms of rewards so either will do. Want to win a couple of knockout rounds in Europe. Don't care too much about the Dutch Cup. Will write an update at the end of the season.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals.

The end of this past week had me very busy with not much time to the blog but lots of time in my head.
Here's what's going on….
1. Reviewing/dialing in nutrition and glycogen replacement. The ratio's of my current diet @ 40-50% fat intake, 20% protein, 30% carbs leaves my muscles depleted by the end of the week. I've made the choice to go with Genr8 as my post recovery fuel and put away the organic chocolate milk. My body was not processing the milk well at all and not giving me all I need for post workout recovery. I've heard very good things regarding Genr8 and am excited to try their product. That said I will also bump my carb intake significantly +20%. Staying gluten and fructose free as much as possible is very important to me otherwise my body feels terribly.
2. Paul Fitzgerald at Penninsula Rolfing was able to give me a quick tune up for Friday's pace work which helped significantly with tightness/pulling in my feet. He did some work to the anterior gastroc and tibia. Basically the top of my left foot where the shoe lace is tied was hurting, enough where I couldn't toe off with any force. There are tendons and ligaments that attach along the outside of the leg and the gastroc that meet at that point. That's a problem when you need to run 56 pace on the track. Although I was only about 85%, I was still able to get in some quality work on the track Friday.
3. Friday's workout went 500m @ 1:10 (56 400m pace) 5min jog, then 3x400m with 4min jog @ 57, 60, 60. The last two I really couldn't push off of my inside foot so I focused on staying relaxed and getting the work in as best as possible. I spent the rest of the day in my 2XU compression tights which helped a lot with recovery. I use these after long runs, hard intervals or if I'm traveling as they promote blood flow to/from the legs. PM session was 5-5-5-3-3-3 max effort of dead lifts. The last three were @ 335. Way off my best 1rm of 425.
4. Saturday the foot felt much better and my legs felt great. I attributed it to the compression tights, they really do work wonders. It was an out and back at Huddart (one of my fav runs on the peninsula); 37min out, 34 min back.
5. Sunday has been a recovery day. Stretching, icing, and drinking wine with old friends…Steve Sherer and Kevin Elliott, ex-Farm Teamers. Holla!😉
Never let it rest,

This question already has an answer here:
- What does "Ctrl + Alt + F12" do? 2 answers
I was just happily typing away, trying out some android dev on my ubuntu machine, i pressed Ctrl + Alt + F11 instead of Ctrl + F11 to run the program in eclipse. This made the screen go blank with a white flashing cursor and it stayed like that for a while, so i pressed Ctrl + Alt + F4 to get to a terminal I could use and remembered seeing somewhere
startx to start the GUI again so i tried that and had something i have also been trying commands like
unity start and
unity restart but they all seem to run but i never get my GUI back.
Now what is strange about the whole thing is the fact that it only happened to my user account, if i use guest i can access the GUI but if i try and log in to my account the screen goes black for a few seconds and then sends be back to the log in screen.
I have tried installing the xubuntu desktop over the top of it but it does the same thing with that desktop as well.
My knowledge of linux is starting to get stretched at this point now.
Does anyone know what may have happened and how to put it right? Maybe its a user setting or something i could change?
Also could anyone tell me what Ctrl + Alt and F11 does?
Thanks for the time.
Oh and before i forget im using the latest version of ubuntu, ran the latest updates today as well.
when running
startx i get an error saying: Fatal Server error@ server is already active for display 0 if this server is no longer running, remove
/temp/.x0-lock and start again
Another thing i have tried is using ctrl + alt + F7 to bring back the GUI but that doesn't seem to help either, it always sends me back to the log in screen (Which is the GUI log in screen)

I would like to get some ideas on my next course of action for a "stuck brew". I am brewing a Saison (first one). My fermentation room is up around 82F so a Saison seemed like the perfect fit. The recipe is: 1.5lb Pilsner malt, 1 lb table sugar, 0.8lb wheat, 0.8lb Munich, 0.8lb Cara-munich. I used a single infusion for a mash temp of 149F held for 60 min. I did not mash out. I had a final gravity of 1.064 (6 gal). I ended up having to add 0.4 lbs of LDME to meet my predicted final gravity of 1.064 after getting 65% efficiency rather then my planned 70%. The LDME was added at the beginning of the 90 min boil, with the table sugar added in the last 15 min. I used Wyest 3724 Belgian Saison in a 2L starter. Fermentation started by the next morning. The fermentation room has stay around 82F, however the beer has been in the carboy since July 6. For the last 10-14 days the gravity has stayed around 1.030. I was anticipated an FG of at least 1.010. Any thoughts on what to do next? Help!!
I would just leave it another couple of weeks - that strain is notorious for stalling after a quick start, but it will pick up again.
The Wyeast yeast strain guide for 3274 says this:
So, simply leave it for a 7-10 days, and check again. If still no difference, raise the temperature to 90-95F and check again. Finally, pitch a secondary yeast, such as US-05 which will dry out the beer without adding any additional character.
You may not get down to 1.010 since that would be 84% attenuation, which is very much on the top end (although I've experienced that 3724 can do that and more.) The recipe contains a sizeable amount of Caramel malts which provide unfermentables, as does the DME, so your FG may come out higher than the 1.010 you are hoping for.
For your next one, you may want to consider WLP 566, which IIRC is derived/genetically selected from Dupont WLP565/Wy3724. I took a 1.1 Saison/Tripel down to 1.015, but it took about 45 days. I did use a lower temperature (I think in the mid-70s), as I wanted to limit phenols and esters, and have it just be the hint of saisony barnyardiness.

Train Hits Veterans' Parade, Killing 4
MIDLAND, Texas—Federal and local investigators Thursday night were studying the site where a freight train slammed into a parade float full of wounded veterans and their families, killing at least four people and sending 17 to the hospital, city officials said.
A flatbed truck participating in the "Hunt for Heroes" parade was struck at about 4:40 p.m. by a Union Pacific Corp. UNP 1.58 % train double-stacked with cargo containers.
Two of the injured were in critical condition late Thursday, said Marcy Madrid, a spokeswoman for Midland Memorial Hospital. The others were stable or had been released.
Two-dozen veterans and their spouses or partners attended the parade, which was sponsored by Show of Support, Military Hunt Inc., a Midland-based group that holds an annual outdoors trip for wounded veterans, organizers said.
'Chaos' at Crash Scene
The train came out of nowhere, says a woman who was riding in the parade. "People were jumping off" the trailer. "People were going everywhere. It was horrible." Read the witness account.
All the veterans were amputees, had been severely burned in combat or had suffered other severe wounds that left them disabled, said John Philbeck, president of a local veterans group.
Before the parade, the honorees had toured the veterans' memorial in Midland, part of which depicts a helicopter evacuating wounded soldiers during the Vietnam War. "They really connected emotionally with the scene," Mr. Philbeck said, because "all of them were evacuated by chopper" after being wounded.
The visiting veterans, who were from across the U.S., were then evenly divided on two bunting-covered trailers en route to the Midland County Horseshoe Arena, where thousands were expected to attend a banquet in their honor in what has become an annual tradition in West Texas.
After the first flatbed made it across the tracks, the second was struck by a train that local law-enforcement officials estimated was traveling about 55 miles per hour, Mr. Philbeck said.
One witness said the crossing-barrier arms started to descend onto the trailer and then rose up again, sending veterans and their family members scurrying off the truck. "People were flying off the trailer on both sides, almost like a waterfall," he said.
The last thing he saw was a big cloud of dust, the witness said, followed soon by ambulance sirens.
"All of a sudden we heard a train horn, and we turned around to look behind us," said Pam Shoemaker, who attended the event with her veteran husband and was sitting on the first flatbed to cross the tracks. The gate for the train crossing had swung down, but then appeared to bounce up, she said. Suddenly, the train was on them. "There wasn't any time. That train came. It was unexpected," she said.
Thursday night, investigators walked the length of the train, armed with flashlights. The train wasn't able to stop until about a mile past the crossing where it collided with the float.
Tom Lange, a spokesman for the railroad, said, "Our preliminary finding is that the [crossing's] lights and gates were working and that the train crew sounded the locomotive horn."
The train originated in Arcade, Texas, and was heading to Shreveport, La. Its two crew members weren't injured.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of those involved," Mr. Lange said.
Neil Doggett, an Oklahoma father of Air Force Master Sgt. Christopher Doggett, who was injured in the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, said his son was on the first veterans' float that crossed the tracks safely. "Thank God," he said, adding that his son was very excited in the days leading up to the Midland event. "He called me and assured me that he and his wife were okay."
The National Transportation Safety Board said it was launching an investigation of the accident, and hoped to have some investigators on site late Thursday. A board spokeswoman didn't provide any details about what happened.
Midland, located about 300 miles northwest of the capital, Austin, is a city with a population of about 100,000. Known for its high-rise office buildings, a legacy of its oil-drilling heritage, it boasts a petroleum museum and President George W. Bush's childhood home.
Marge Langley, who has lived in Midland since 1954, said the last fatal accident at a train crossing in town that she could recall was "about 30 or 40 years ago when some teenagers on their lunch hour ran a stop sign."
News of the accident reached some participants who were waiting at the Horseshoe Arena. "Some of the participants in the parade had already arrived in the banquet hall, and when word spread about the accident, you had 500 to 1,000 people in tears," said Kirk Cleere, a drilling contractor from San Angelo, Texas, who was at the arena.
The planned festivities, which had included presenting veterans with rifles before a deer hunt, have all been canceled, said Mr. Cleere's father, Sonny Cleere, a San Angelo businessman who helped organize some of the events.
"We have a benefactor, who chooses to remain anonymous, who was going to give each one of these heroes $2,000," Sonny Cleere said. "We are now trying to see how we can provide financial assistance to the veterans and their families affected by this."

The Atlantic Coast Conference Wednesday announced the inaugural All-ACC Football Team as selected by the league's 12 head coaches.
This year, for the first time under the auspices of the ACC, the league's 12 head football coaches voted for an All-ACC football team, as well as Players of the Year, Rookies of the Year and a Coach of the Year award. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own players and cast ballots for two points for first-team and one point for second-team selections.
Clemson, Florida State and North Carolina each had five players chosen to the first team, though UNC actually had six first-team picks as running back Giovani Bernard was named to the first-team offense as a running back, while also earning first-team specialist accolades. All of Clemson's first-team honorees were on offense, while four of FSU's five were on defense.
The Seminoles, who defeated Georgia Tech, 21-15, last Saturday in the ACC Championship football game in Charlotte, led all teams with 12 players selected to either the first or second team, followed by North Carolina (9) and Clemson (7).
In all, 10 of the ACC's 12 schools placed a player on the first team with all 12 schools having at least one first- or second-team selection.
The 2012 Coaches All-ACC team was similar to the All-ACC squad announced last week by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association (ACSMA), as the two voting bodies agreed on all of the major award winners.
Clemson's junior QB Tajh Boyd (Hampton, Va.) was selected by the ACC Coaches as Offensive and Overall Player of the Year for a record-breaking campaign which saw Boyd lead the Tigers to a 10-2 record, a No. 14 ranking in the BCS while setting ACC single game (8) and season (41) records for touchdown responsibility.
Florida State junior defensive end Bjoern Werner (Berlin, Germany) was selected the league's Defensive Player of the Year after leading the conference in quarterback sacks (13.0) and placing second in tackles for loss (18.0).
Miami true freshman running back Duke Johnson (Miami, Fla.), who set a single-game ACC freshman standard with 368 all-purpose yards while also placing third in the league in rushing with 947 yards and a 78.9 yards-per-game average, was named the ACC's Offensive Rookie and Overall Rookie of the Year.
The runner-up to Johnson in the Rookie of the Year voting, Maryland true freshman wide receiver and kick returner Stefon Diggs (Gaithersburg, Md.) was named to the All-ACC second team as specialist.
Florida State true freshman cornerback Ronald Darby (Oxon Hill, Md.), a key member of Florida State's defense which is ranked second nationally in total defense, third nationally in pass defense and third nationally in pass efficiency defense, was named the ACC's Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Duke's David Cutcliffe, who led the Blue Devils to a bowl game for the first time since 1994 with a berth in this year's Belk Bowl, was named ACC Coach of the Year after being selected on seven of the 12 ballots.
The Coaches All-ACC first-team differed from the ACSMA team only at three positions, choosing Duke senior wide receiver Conner Vernon over Boston College's Alex Amidon; North Carolina offensive tackle James Hurst over Clemson's Brandon Thomas, and Virginia Tech linebacker Jack Tyler instead of Virginia's Steve Greer. Amidon, Thomas and Greer were all second-team picks.
In all, there were four unanimous first-team selections (22 points) in Clemson's Boyd and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, and North Carolina's Bernard on offense and Florida State defensive end Cornellius Carradine on defense.
A total of six players named to this year's Coaches' first-team were named to the 2011 All-ACC ACSMA squad in Clemson's Boyd and center Dalton Freeman; Georgia Tech guard Omoregie Uzzi; North Carolina's Bernard; Florida State place-kicker Dustin Hopkins and Maryland defensive tackle Joe Vellano.

It is known that bullets can ricochet off a body of water. Is surface tension responsible for this or is this the same behavior we see when an asteroid ricochets off the atmosphere? I don't think surface tension has anything to do with it but I'm arguing with someone who disagrees. I think the major factor is the density of water relative to air and the density of the bullet.
The mechanism is explained, e.g., in W. Johnson, Int. J. Impact Engng, Vol.21, Nos 1-2, pp. 15-24 and 25-34. 1998.
The following main assumptions are used to derive the approximate Birkhoff formula for the critical ricochet angle for a spherical projectile:
(i) The pressure $p$ on a spherical surface element along its outward drawn normal is $\rho u^2/2$; u is the forward speed of the sphere resolved along the normal.
(ii) The pressure applies only to those parts of the sphere which are immersed below the undisturbed surface of the water. The effect of the splash on the sphere is considered not to contribute any pressure.
Thus, I believe, surface tension is negligible.
It's nothing to do with surface tension (art least for large objects).
Imagine a bullet bouncing off another bullet, or metal armour. No problem accepting that, it's just Newton's laws and momentum. well water also has mass and needs a force to accelerate it in exactly the same way - the only difference in bouncing a bullet, or a stone, or a bomb, is the speed and angle and how much water you need to move and how fast.
I'm not sure at what speed/pressure the viscosity becomes a factor, has anyone tried skimming stones off super-fluid helium?
As a particle physicist I tend to see this as a semi elastic scatter, where the velocity and the angle of incidence and the medium's cohesion must enter the solution.
If it is a solid, which has high cohesion, there is high probability of ricochet/semi-elastic-scatter .
An asteroid skimming the top of the atmosphere needs a very high velocity and small grazing angle.
Liquids are in between, depending on the variables stated.
I expect that at the microscopic level, the electrons of the projectile at a given angle and speed see the projection of the electrons of the surface as an impenetrable continuum,comparable to the the one presented normally by solids.

Editor's note: Arch Puddington is vice president of research at Freedom House. The views expressed are his own.
As the year 2012 drew to a close, events in the Middle East dramatized two competing trends: demands for change pushed forward by popular democratic movements, and an authoritarian response that combines intransigence with strategic adaptability.
The ambiguous nature of these developments, combined with either instability or authoritarian retrenchment in other regions, had a significant impact on the state of global freedom. The findings of Freedom in the World 2013, the latest edition of Freedom House's annual report on political rights and civil liberties, showed that more countries registered declines than exhibited gains over the course of 2012. This marks the seventh consecutive year in which countries with declines outnumbered those with improvements. At the same time, the number of countries ranked as Free increased by three, and now stands at 90, suggesting that the overall ferment includes a potential for progress as well as deterioration.
Developments in Egypt in particular encapsulated a pattern in which gains for freedom in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) were threatened by opposition from governments, security forces, ruling families, or religiously based political factions. In Egypt, the year was notable for a flawed but competitive presidential election, the withdrawal of the military from its self-appointed political supremacy, and a continued assertiveness by popular movements in the face of antidemocratic threats.
Yet despite the energy of civil society and the shift to civilian rule, the country was confronted by daunting problems, experiencing at various times a campaign to hobble foreign and local nongovernmental organizations, the dissolution of an elected parliament by the judiciary, a faulty process to draft a new constitution, resistance to change by entrenched elites, and a power grab by newly elected president Mohamed Morsy that was only partially thwarted by mass protests. Finally, at year's end, the state prosecutor announced plans to investigate leading opposition figures on charges of treason, and political commentators for alleged defamation.
As in the world at large, more countries in the MENA region endured declines than made gains in their drive toward freedom in 2012. Aspirations for elections and accountable government were often fiercely suppressed through arrests, imprisonment, police violence, and in Syria, a murderous war waged by the state against its own people. However, there is reason to remain cautiously optimistic about the region's future. Events in Tunisia and Libya, where popular uprisings before and after Egypt's had also expelled longtime dictators in early 2011, were generally positive in 2012, even if each encountered challenges and setbacks. Moreover, the societal impulse to shake off autocratic rule, pervasive injustice, and rampant corruption has clearly spread from Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt to neighboring countries.
Much will depend on the commitment to democracy of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups that now or may soon find themselves in positions of power. But the past year has provided more evidence that Middle Eastern countries long subject to the dictator's heel are quickly developing resilient and informed civil societies willing to push back against attempts to curb freedom of expression and thought, distort the electoral process, or concentrate power in the hands of military or religious authorities. In this context, factions or governments that seek to reduce freedom could find it increasingly difficult to do so.
Meanwhile, the world's most powerful authoritarian leaders have watched events in the Middle East with concern. The findings of Freedom in the World point to a stepped-up drive by authoritarian governments in other regions to weaken precisely the elements of democratic governance that pose the most serious threats to repressive and corrupt rule: independent civil society groups, a free press, and the rule of law. Indeed, a five-year set of comparative data show that while the indicators related to competitive elections and political pluralism declined slightly or actually improved on a global scale between 2008 and 2012, there were notable declines for freedom of the press and expression, freedom of assembly and the rights of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), an independent judiciary, and equal protection under the law. Of particular concern are the ongoing campaigns in Russia, Venezuela, Iran, and elsewhere to thwart those NGOs whose work is deemed to be political in nature. This can include activism in a wide range of fields, including opposing censorship, environmental protection, women's rights, gay rights, anti-corruption efforts, and fair treatment for minorities.
Such repressive campaigns were especially apparent in Eurasia, where a number of already grim settings grew even more constrained. Russia took a decided turn for the worse after Vladimir Putin's return to the presidency. Having already marginalized the formal political opposition, he pushed through a series of laws meant to squelch a burgeoning societal opposition. The measures imposed severe new penalties on unauthorized political demonstrations, restricted the ability of NGOs to raise funds and conduct their work, and placed new controls on the internet.
In China, hopes for meaningful political reform were dealt a serious blow with the selection of a new Communist Party leadership team whose members have generally built their careers on hard-line policies. As if to emphasize the point that the new leaders are unlikely to usher in an era of political liberalization, the government has taken steps in the last two months to reinforce internet censorship and surveillance.
Despite setbacks and an accentuated pushback from leading authoritarians, developments over the past year have presented the world with new opportunities for democratic expansion. This is especially true in the Middle East, the one region which, until recently, resisted the democratic revolution of the past three decades. There is no guarantee that progress in Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya will hold firm, and indeed quite pessimistic outcomes are possible. Nonetheless, no one predicted the breakthroughs that have already taken place. These breakthroughs clearly present the possibility of more far reaching changes over the next period. The challenge for democrats in the Middle East -- and for their supporters elsewhere in the world -- is to ensure that this remarkable opportunity is not lost.

Documentation holes for Touch creating 2.x custom components
There are several patterns for creating new UI components.
The one's I've identified so far are ..
- No inheritance
- Render UI using template (example is the recently blogged Audio control)
- Inherit from Field types (Decorator and non Decorator cases)
- Inherit from Container or Panel - Render UI using items array (static and non-static) containing nested xtypes.
- ... I'm sure there are more ...
Bits of information are in the ExtJS docs for Components but its unclear how much of this applies to ST 2.x .
The docs also need a table or diagram summary of the firing sequence of events and what's expected in each override. If an override should call a parent, it need a summary of what to put to before and after the parent call. This should nail down best practice. The boiler plate code should have placeholder comment for each of these so you can just copy paste the pattern code and fill in the blanks. I think this would reduce the support cost on the forums and get everyone coding to the right patterns.
Note: I'm currently trying to find one for inheriting from a Container that renders using an initial items list that is adjusted in the constructor. Can't find any examples for ST 2.x . Recent Blog post on Component building is no use as its based on rendering templates.

I agree that creating components is probably beyond the 1st step for beginners - but you really need some rail tracks / guidelines to pick the pattern you need for a given component.
The recurring questions are:
- What event do they expect me to use to handle something?
- How has this changed in this release?
You can go reverse engineering in the code or surfing for an example but the problem with that is that you have no idea how well supported this pattern is likely to be in the future or if the example code you find is now out of date. It's also not clear if the Sencha team has given these design patterns much thought. I'm sure they probably have - but without coding guidelines I'm just killing time playing guessing games with the risk that it will all break on the next release. I'm trying to read the mind of the framework designers and cost of failure is high on big projects.
Giving coders the correct "kick start" means we're much more likely to follow "best practice" rather than "guessed practice" based on reverse engineering. Invariably you miss an important step (often just a single line of code) that can take days to crack. If you're luck enough to be "in the know" about Sencha it can be hard to see what it's like for those starting out.
An alternative might be to create a github account with boilerplate examples for each of these cases.

Reviewer: Charles E Stewart, MD PhD
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Ultima Vez Modificado: 18 de noviembre del 2005
Authors: G D e M eerleer , L V akaet , S M eersschout , et al.
Source: Int. J. Radiation Oncology Biol. Phys ., 60 (2004) 777-787 .
In the setting of external beam radiotherapy treatment of prostate cancer, Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) is rapidly becoming the norm and has replaced standard 3-dimesional conformal treatment in the majority of academic- and community-based centers. Inherent in substantial changes to radiation delivery techniques are not only potential changes in tumor control probabilities, but also potential changes in both acute and long-term side effects. The intent of this study was to examine acute toxicities of IMRT in patients with low, intermediate, and high risk for extra-prostatic disease. This study follows on the heels of a more comprehensive study by Zelefsky et al . (Int. J. Radiation Oncology Biol. Phys., Vol. 53, No. 5, pp. 1111–1116, 2002) that examined early toxicity in a larger patient cohort with extensive follow-up and more cleanly-parsed data.
The description of acute toxicity after IMRT for prostate cancer has been previously well characterized by Zelefsky et al . as described above, and remains the standard by which other articles should be compared. Their study involved 772 patients followed for over 4 years, and also measured initial biochemical failure rates. In addition, studies of IMRT for prostate cancer without daily localization of the prostate (such as the one summarized here) become uninterpretable. Numerous groups ( eg. Bentel et al , Int. J. Radiation Oncology Biol. Phys., Vol. 47, No. 1, pp. 247–253, 2000) have demonstrated considerable daily motion of the prostate independent of bony landmarks. Furthermore, the 7mm circumferential margin is tighter than most techniques using either 3-D conformal or IMRT techniques, particularly in the absence of daily prostate localization. Zelefsky's article reveals that toxicity only begins to manifest at three months, with pronounced amplification after that time.

21st Annual Cruisin' Ocean City - Hot Times In The CityWritten by Chuck Vranas on September 26, 2011 21st Annual Cruisin' Ocean City, Ocean City, Maryland
There's only one thing better than spending your time building a cool classic truck and that's burning up the road with it. With a union of sweat, grease, motor oil, and gasoline all becoming one once you hit the ignition, the only thing left to do is buckle up and let the asphalt take you to yet to be discovered territories. Maybe it's an East Coast thing, but once the snow clears out and the weather starts to get nice you experience an adrenaline rush that seems to have been building for months, making you want to do nothing else but put down the miles on your truck.
One of the neatest shows across the country to have earned the reputation of being a true driving event is Cruisin' Ocean City. Now in its 21st year, it seemed only natural to have Classic Trucks there to check it all out. The quaint little seaside town of Ocean City, Maryland, along with its 8,000 year-round residents opens up its 10-mile strip to well over 3,000 enthusiastic car and truck owners for an extended weekend every May, giving them full reign of the city. This always leaves the scent of high-octane fuel hanging heavy in the air. If you hate lawn chairs, dig watching the odometer on your ride spin, and have no problem tanking up daily, this is the event for you.
Everything starts at the absolute end of the strip—"the inlet," which serves as the epicenter for the weekend-long festivities. Surrounded by immaculately groomed beaches and killer surf, there is ample parking for up to 1,500 vehicles that's guaranteed to fill up by 10 a.m. on Saturday. Hanging out at the inlet is a blast with an old campy amusement park that will bring back memories from when you were a kid wearing PF Flyers while drinking an ice-cold soda as you checked out the Ferris wheel or took a scream through the haunted house. There's also a bitchin' boardwalk that stretches for as far as the eye can see packed with more tasty stuff than you could ever eat in a day, let alone a weekend! From cotton candy and caramel corn, to funnel cakes and hot fries, be thankful that you can do plenty of walking between stops.
If you were looking to check out some of the latest innovations for your ride, there were numerous sponsor exhibitors, including General Motors Performance Division, Summit, Meguiar's, PPG, and K&N Filters to mention but a few. You also had the chance to meet the ever-so-cool Danielle Colby Cushman from TV's American Pickers.
One of the great things about the inlet is that everyone keeps moving throughout the day, thus allowing plenty of attendees the ability to cruise in while others head out to experience other stops along the strip. Blasting off from the inlet it was a sure hit to stop by the Convention Center 'cuz there's always a few surprises inside. This year, legions of fans were able to check out TV's original Batmobile as well as a live collector car auction by Express Auctioneers, special indoor car show, and countless vendors. There were also numerous other mini-events happening all day long, including shows at Hooters, the Ice Cream Castle, and Phillips Crab House to name but a few. If this sounds like fun; you're only halfway there.
Once the inlet get-together closes for the evening, everyone grabs a bite; tanks up, and hits the strip for late-night cruising and even more shows to check out. With crowds cheering you on from sidewalks, parking lots, and multi-level garages it's amazing just how much fun driving your truck can be. This year, there were plenty of traditional rides mingling with high-tech slicksters, Pro Mods on methanol, and cool customs. It wasn't hard to find pairs of Pro Street rides pulling their front wheels off the ground when the lights went green as they screamed off into the night.
On Saturday evening there was even a big-time rock 'n' roll show featuring Sir Rod's ultimate tribute to Rod Stewart, Johnny Seaton as Elvis, The Blues Brothers Revue, and special guest Gene Vincent and the Cadillac Cruisers, with enough gusto to blast the plaster off the ceiling at the Convention Center. All we can say is this is one event that will keep you talking about it all year long. You can check it all out at www.specialeventpro.com. Dig it!

One of the coolest happenings over the weekend was having the chance to cruise your classic truck down the historic Ocean City boardwalk while greeted by cheering fans.There's nothing like fresh ocean air to get you motivated to break out the polish and get your ride looking perfect.Completely built and painted in their home shop, Phil and Tonyea Mead's '41 Dodge left us in awe with its perfect stance, subtle colors, and attention to detail.Coated in dramatic blue vibe and rolling on American Racing Salt Flats with BFGoodrich rubber, Mark Rauser's '72 Chevy was bitchin'. A red interior with bucket seats and bed-mounted Moon tank added extra accent.Jessica Kilby's '50 Chevy stopped us in our tracks with its two-tone, green pearl body; one-piece hood; stretched rear fenders; frenched headlights; and big-inch Billet Specialties rollers.The ocean was a perfect backdrop for Ross Gilbert's '64 Chevy with its all-red body, flaked flames, and alligator accented interior.Twenty-five-year-old Nick Webber's owner-built '46 Chevy featured a custom chassis; 2-inch chop; 3-inch cab stretch; and handmade, stretched, and widened rear fenders. Power comes from a 540ci Merlin block capped with Valley Head Service 32-valve heads.Randy Connell's '55 Chevy hauler was patina'd, louvered, and slammed mercilessly to the ground, making it the perfect hot rod hauler.
Bringing Pro Street to a whole new level, Aaron Baker's '65 Chevy had an aggressive stance complemented by big-inch Billet Specialties wheels and just enough classic dazzle.Still wearing its original paint and lettering, Donald Fuss' rare '48 Chevy Canopy Express was originally owned by the Niner Awning Company of Hagerstown, Maryland. Mechanical updates include a 305ci Chevy mill with a 700-R4 trans and Heidts IFS.Visitors throughout the weekend had a chance to meet and chat with Danielle Colby Cushman, well-known for her role on TV's American Pickers.Traditionally designed with a twist, Bill Liedtka's '51 Ford had a Mustang Cobra 4.6-liter V-8 lurking under the hood linked to a Tremec five-speed and Ford 9-inch rear.The wildest ride hands-down was this ultra-rare '58 DKW delivery van owned by Gary Adkins. Rolling on Intro wheels, a turbocharged 4.3-liter Chevy V-6 generates the power.Bunky Messick gave his '53 Chevy a 355ci mill topped with dual quads for power while Billet Specialties wheels and vibrant red gloss completes the look.Nothing sez let's go to the beach better than Ken and Marie Copeland's customized '47 GMC in copper pearl.Sporting a 3-inch chop and 2-inch channel, Elisha Jones' '48 Chevy featured an impeccable body topped with DuPont Blazin' Copper glimmer.
Randy Kopp's owner-built '46 Chevy gets its thump from a built 350ci V-8 while a Fatman IFS soaks up the bumps as it rolls on vintage American Racing Daisy wheels.Lowered with RideTech bags, dropped spindles, and a rear C-notch, Steve Mason's '64 Chevy Suburban still runs its original 292ci 6-banger linked to a TH400 trans.The sun really lit up Peppi Paluzzi's PPG Burnt Orange '72 Chevy C10, packed with a 502ci Chevy V-8, Hotchkis suspension, and Coys C-56 wheels.Perched on a tube chassis with a mild body channel, Courtney Accipiter's '57 Chevy has a '91 Corvette V-8 linked to a 700-R4 for power, accented by a Viper Red body.Initially owned by a Fire Department, Bruce Erwin restored this 27,000-mile '54 Ford F-100 panel to its original glory, including its 272ci mill.Jeff Taylor's '72 Chevy Cheyenne Super 10 longbed featured a blue and white houndstooth bench interior with a B&M shifter, and rolled on classic Cragar S/S wheels.You don't see many '51 Dodge haulers, especially one as nice as Rich Gengo's with its late-model Mopar V-8, custom interior, bright-blue metallic body, and Pro Street rubber.With just enough chrome accents, Thomas Mullins' '50 Ford looked stellar with a deep blue pearl body, tan leather split-bench interior, and American Racing five-spokes.
Throughout the weekend great weather made it perfect for cruising the inlet as well as the strip to visit countless shows along the route.
