Skip to comments.Congress, Obama team up to kill marriage protections
Posted on 09/20/2009 4:02:00 AM PDT by Man50D
Nearly 100 members of the U.S. House are working in lockstep with the Obama administration to try to eliminate protections for traditional marriage in the United States with the "Respect for Marriage Act" that has just been introduced in Congress.
H.R. 3567 was introduced just days ago by U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-New York, and more than 90 co-sponsors.
"This legislation would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), a 1996 law which discriminates against lawfully married same-sex couples," Nadler said in a statement on his website.The proposal has been assigned to committee.
"The 13-year-old DOMA singles out legally married same-sex couples for discriminatory treatment under federal law, selectively denying them critical federal responsibilities and rights, including programs like social security that are intended to ensure the stability and security of American families," his statement continued.
"The introduction of the Respect for Marriage Act responds directly to a call from President Obama for congressional action on the issue. As the president recently confirmed: 'I stand by my long-standing commitment to work with Congress to repeal the so-called Defense of Marriage Act. It's discriminatory, it interferes with states' rights, and it's time we overturned it," the statement said.

Except for a few deep-blue states, they're NOT "lawfully married."
"The introduction of the Respect for Marriage Act responds directly to a call from President Obama for congressional action on the issue.Why? what about jobs stupid.
The congress and this marxist poser punk is destroying our economy. Crapping on long held international friends in lieu of terror nations. Trying to foist socialism on us and to beat all they drag out the homosexual agenda to mess up our children.
Hey the majority voted for these ass holes.
Whatever happened to 0bama's assertion that he believed marriage was to be between one man and one woman? Oh, yeah... that was just a campaign statement. It's expired now.
Nadler, Obama, gays, lesbians, tannies,
Just great guys all around!
American: when are ya gonna stand up and fight back
and call a trump a trump.
Obama is losing gay support, and, most importantly, gay fundraising (which is disproportionally large) due to the failure of repeal of 'don't ask, don't tell'
This is a bone they hope to sneak through while nobody is looking.
Man50D you support all this and fight against the Republican party. How do you explain yourself?
Marriage is a sacred institution blessed by the church and only between a man and a woman. No ifs, ands or butts.
"it interferes with states' rights,"
coming from that faker that statement makes my stomach churn
How does forcing a state to recognize gay "marriage" protect states rights?
Respect for Marriage Act ......... Is it just me,or is the intent of most bills introduced by the libs the exact opposite of the title of the bill?
***Marriage is a sacred institution blessed by the church and only between a man and a woman. No ifs, ands or butts.***
Youe mean it was. The is the new liberal religion, The Obama religion.
Hey Nadler! According to your interpretation, this means that New York State should honor my Florida Concealed Carry Weapons permit. States Rights, according to your argument!
LOL! Never thought of it that way.
This is not news I wanted to read on a Sunday morning. This Administration and the liberals in Congress are the best sleight-of-handers I've ever seen. While the country is in a tizzy over health care and energy, they're federalizing college student loans and deconstructing the sacred institution of marriage. I'm sick, simply sick. Who will stand up anymore, folks? Who is going to put his or her life on the line to stand up to these Marxists? This no longer about words. Forceful acceptance of the liberal social mores are becoming a reality. This is a war of attrition and THEY'RE WINNING!
The Constitution is NOT negotiable!
You tell me little buddy, name which party that you support. I'm an Independent, so I'm not involved but I can tell that you are on a mission against conservatives.
I challenge you to position yourself coward!
Ding, Ding, Ding. We have a winner! This is spot on. If these crumbs had any respect for marriage they wouldn't be trying to protect every lessie, pervert, trannie, fornicator, or social malcontent that ever took a breath. All I'm waiting for is for "Baghdad Bob" Gibbs to explain that this is all for the good of the economy!
A few? Twenty nine states have constitutional bans on gay marriage and another 18 have laws against it.
This is the Dems plan on winning in 2010, between this, the amnesty act that will soon follow and the welfare class they will have all the support they need.
I chatted with my priest about it and he said that if they try to overturn DOMA, they will destroy their party.
You mean like the Defense of Marriage Act? Which did nothing to curtail the government subsidizing of divorce?
Do they want the GLT vote or the black vote? They must choose.
No it's not just you - it is the work of their propaganda unit to always label bills in a way that gives the opposite appearance from what is in the bill.
In their world, it makes perfect sense though.
In their world, wrong is right.
Zero was raised by Frank Marshall Davis a noted pervert, now maybe Zero wants to marry Rahm in the Whitehouse?
Squat, would you bet your farm that obammy has never been with another man?
I know I'd bet he has.
Jive marxist punk that he is.
Let's see if the tea-party patriots will demonstrate against this travesty with the same zeal. Somehow, I doubt it.
Support? Really!? This will sink the Dems in 2010.
I don't believe THIS attack on the DOMA will succeed at all, but now the public sees more than ever where a Democratic congress stands on the issue.
That leaves three states that allow "gay marriage." That is enough for the federal judiciary to impose "gay marriage" on the rest of the states.
Nadler is as anxious to destroy The United States as is zero. What should we expect?
What homosexuals do in Massachusetts is of no interest to me. If they move to Kansas and call themselves married then it's no skin off my nose. If they try to file their income taxes as married then they'll have problems.
Like you, I have no interest in the domestic arrangements of homosexuals. I am inclined to live and let live. However, that would be a mistake
It appears to me that the push for "gay marriage" is just one step in a larger, more threatening agenda. Once they can be married, homosexual activists will insist that all institutions in societyprivate as well as publicrecognize their unions. Those who refuse to do so will be labeled as bigots and haters.
Sooner or later, the civil rights machinery of the state and federal government will be brought to bear against churches and private individuals who "discriminate" against homosexuals.
That is not an outcome I want to see.
Boy even those in blue states are trying to get themselves thrown out. Did they miss that even California voted from traditional marriage?
Yep, Zero fiddles while the economy burns! It's the economy STOOOPID!
"A few? Twenty nine states have constitutional bans on gay marriage and another 18 have laws against it."
Right. Like I said, "EXCEPT for a few deep blue states." All the rest ban it.

Frobisher is a cashiered Royal Navy ex-officer. He is approached to run some arms to the rebels in Korea, and thus make his fortune. This fails, and the arms get into the hands of the legitimate government. After some vicissitudes he finds himself in China, and talking to the above admiral, who offers him the command of a battleship, with the prospect of taking part in a war against Japan. He does this but loses his ship in a storm towards the end of the book. Meanwhile he has found the lost millions hidden away by Genghiz Khan many centuries beforehand. He has no hesitation in purloining these, and eventually on getting back to England, buying his way back into grace by presenting the nation with a number of brand-new battleships, for which bit of
sleaze he is given a baronetcy, and restored to the Navy List.

Nvidia gets a new comms VP
Nowhere to go but up from here
NVIDIA HAS FINALLY filled the position of VP, corporate communications with Bob Sherbin, ex of HP. This is more than a simple job vacancy, it seemingly shuffles the entire NV comms tree.
If you are paying attention, you will have noticed that the new position has been advertised and vacant since last summer. Given it is such a plumb job with lots to do, one has to wonder why? That said, it is filled now.
Bob takes over the reins of a division seen by those that work with it as somewhere between unexplained greenish-black bumps on your genitals and the task of having to explain why those bumps happened, why you can't remember that night three weeks ago, and how much it cost to fill an auditorium with nuns. Luckily for him, he can't do the Nvidia message any harm from here, short of several criminal actions, at once, on camera, while bragging about it.
The interesting part? Corporate communications and PR both report to him, but not IR/AR. Why is that interesting? Because those organisations already had top people in them, they are now reporting to him, who use to report to Bob's boss. Can you say 'mass demotion and public backhand to the entire comms department'? I knew ya could, but I think this is more coincidence than top management getting a clue.
In any case, we have long given up hope that some semblance of honesty would seep into NV's messaging system, and this doesn't really add anything new. The reason for this is Nvidia is a top-down company, basically you don't fart unless you are told to by a higher up. Not having two brain cells to rub together when coming up with an idea is a benefit here, not a career-limiting disability.
That meant that all the stupid moves, power games, and flat-out denials of things with hard evidence staring them in the face were carried out by the mouthpieces, not thought up by them. The real company and stock-hammering stupidities came from higher up. Slotting someone between the two sides doesn't fix anything, nor does it change the way things will be done... it simply adds another layer of deniability.
With that, Bob steps into a world of happiness, backstabbing, a handful of seemingly slam-dunk class-action lawsuits, and that reputation that someday hopes to rival the good name of genital rashes.
The people below him are now one notch down, and nothing is going to change. Yay?

This girls' night out is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.
Scout Willis is showing off her growing armpit hair.
The 23-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore stepped out in London last night, (Feb. 19, 2015). Willis attended the Impossible Exhibition, and cameras caught a sight of her armpit hair.
Even though he's her mom's ex-husband, there are no hard feelings between Rumer Willis and Ashton Kutcher.
In fact, opening up for the first time since news broke that Kutcher and Mila Kunis were pregnant, Willis couldn't help but gush about his 1-month-old baby girl.

Not every summer movie involves a robot punching a skyscraper. Some are about real life struggles, like losing your virginity before you head off to college. In Very Good Girls, that's just what Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen are looking to do. …
The future Mr. and Mrs. Kutcher will always have an awesome engagement story to tell their kids.
From over-the-top Christmas gifts to birthday surprises, it's safe to say Ashton's 36th b-day will be one he'll never forget.

McCain: Iraq was the 'first major conflict since 9/11.'
Cenk Uygur notes that "the media missed" a false statement from Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) recent CBS interview where he incorrectly claimed the surge "began the Anbar Awakening." When asked by Kate Couric about whether the money spent on the surge would have been better spent in Afghanistan, McCain claimed Iraq (not Afghanistan) was the "first major conflict since 9/11":
McCAIN: The fact is we had four years of failed policy. We were losing. We were losing the war in Iraq. The consequences of failure and defeat of the United States of America in the first major conflict since 9/11 would have had devastating impacts throughout the region and the world.
Watch it:
Clearly, Afghanistan was the "first major conflict" that the U.S. fought after 9/11. But in 2003, McCain said the U.S. could just "muddle through in Afghanistan." As Uygur stated, "They never saw Afghanistan as a priority."

Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
inGenious Targeting Laboratory (iTL) received an exclusive license for Columbia University's F.A.S.T.™ system for use in the creation of multi-use mouse models. This system can reportedly generate multiple lines of mice that provide a spectrum of expression levels for single genes, from global knockout to selective overexpression, which can reduce the timeliness and cost many investigators face in generating knockout or knockin mouse models. The technology incorporates an inducible system resulting in rodent strains that can have both multiple gain-of-function and loss-of-function.
"This exclusive partnership enhances our ability to exceed client expectations by offering a cost-effective, innovative solution that accelerates the production of genetically modified mouse models," said Paul J. Sheiffele, president of inGenious Targeting Laboratory. "The ability to have a single gene-targeting event yielding multiple mouse models with variable expression patterns will allow any academic or biopharmaceutical researcher to understand gene function or modeling human disease in a much quicker manner."
Columbia has a long-standing history of working with gene-knockout mice, especially with diabetes research. In March, a team led by scientists at Columbia's Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center generated knockout mice lacking the Foxo1 transcription factor gene in Neurog3+ gut progenitor cells, demonstrating that knocking out one gene in gut progenitor cells prompts them to differentiate into fully functional insulin-producing cells that can secrete insulin in response to changing blood glucose levels and maintain glucose homeostasis in diabetic mice. These mice were later used to help support the argument that, in type 2 diabetes, islet β cells aren't necessarily dying off in large numbers, but are in fact reverting to a more progenitor-like state, and could potentially be prompted to redifferentiate back into active insulin-producing cells.
Meanwhile, iTL is branching out: in January, they relocated their world headquarters to a facility in Ronkonkoma, NY, in response to an expanding staff and increasing technical demands. Plus, in September, they partnered with Umeå University (Umeå, Sweden), which had been utilizing iTL's services since 2006, in a two-year Master Institutional Service Agreement.

My VOIP Android Application has the C/Native Library which does all business logic of login/Logout etc.
Issue with this is when the device screen is locked the application(c Code) is not able to receive any packets from the server. I verified this with Wireshark. It looks like the CPU is not running.
I was able to solve the issue doing below on my application INIT.
WakeLock mWakeLock = null;
PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) cxt.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
if(mPartialWakeLock == null){
// lock used to keep the processor awake.
mPartialWakeLock = pm.newWakeLock(
| PowerManager.ON_AFTER_RELEASE, TAG);
But doing above will drain my battery.
Why the requests are not reaching my application? How can I make device CPU up all time when Screen is LOCKED and receive requests from the Server?
Note: EDITED Device Used: Samsung Rugby Smart i847 OS : Android OS, v2.3.6 (Gingerbread.UCLA4)
The the application works on Galaxy s2.(Is it because its Dual Core Processor and CPU is up on Screen LOCK?) How Does SKYPE and VIBER designed WRT to Sleep Mode??

Also today: Lots of casting news, from people as diverse as Griffin Dunne and Penn Badgley. Plus: Who will replace Elliot Stabler? The season finale of Game of Thrones, HBO's adaptation of George R.R. Martin's dense yet potently addictive fantasy book series, hit a ratings high on Sunday night, raking in 3.9 million pairs of eyeballs (cut out by Gregor Clegane himself, no doubt) across two airings. If you then factor in DVR and OnDemand viewings, an average of 8.3 million people watched each episode of the show's first season. That's great! The ratings actually went up almost every week! People like fantasy! Even though there's not that much hard "fantasy" in the first season/book. Anyway. Sorry. I can't really focus right now because I'm thinking about the books. Almost done with the second one. NO SPOILERS, GUYS. You should read these books. And watch this show. And honor and love everything about it forever. You are now betrothed to Game of Thrones, it is known. [The Wrap]From the Department of Ugh Really comes news that Gossip Girl actor Penn Badgley (he plays one of the many boys in Chace Crawford's Boi Harem) has been cast as late singer Jeff Buckley ("Last Goodbye," among other masterpieces). Look, Badgley proved less than annoying in Easy A so I guesss we'll give him a pass on this, except... Nah. I find it strange that they'd cast someone who's still on Gossip Girl in this of all roles. It'd be like casting Kellan Lutz in a Morrissey biopic. Well, OK, it's not that weird, but it's pretty close. [THR]Since his weird-sounding Hallelujah pilot, created by Republigay Marc Cherry, didn't get picked up, Lost tragic figure Terry O'Quinn is headed back to Hawaii. He's been cast in a recurring role on the second season of Hawaii Five-O, which also stars Lost alum Daniel Dae Kim. So except the second season of Hawaii Five-O to start off really cool and intriguing and then to end with everyone hugging lamely in a church. [EW]Curious. So since Chris Meloni is leaving Law & Order: SVU, the show is in need of a new male detective (who gets too close to the case? He has to get too close to the case). It seems there's a shortlist of dudes currently up for the role, and the choices are interesting. The producers are said to be looking at some dude off Cold Case, another dude off Ghost Whisperer, True Blood sexhunks Kevin Alejandro and Michael Raymond-James, and, oddest of all perhaps, Rhys Corio, who plays the jerky (well, less jerky these days) Billy Walsh on the forever jerky Entourage. So they're clearly going for a dark-haired, vaguely ethnic kind of aesthetic. Which, fine. I don't care if they cast a Paul Bettany-esque albino, so long as Stabler 2.0 often gets too close to the case. That is a staple of that show. That terrible, beautiful show. No word yet on who will replace Mariska Hargitay when she leaves later next year, but I hope they really think outside the box. Like Vanessa Redgrave outside the box. Like Wendi McLendon-Covey outside the box. Like Chris Meloni outside the box. He just walks in with a wig on and says in a weird lady voice "Hulllooooo I'm the new lady detective..." and Cragen puts his head in his hands and says "Stabler, we know it's you." That's good TV right there! [Deadline]It's a castapalooza today! Next we have news about House of Lies, the new Don Cheadle-starring Showtime show about consultants. They've cast Griffin Dunne as a famous consultant who teams up with Cheadle to... consult things, I guess. That's fun! If one has seen After Hours, one can't help but hold a special, weird place in one's heart for Griffin Dunne. Man that's a strange movie. All about the dangers of SoHo!

Kukla's Korner Hockey
The Big Picture- Wings Vs. Ducks
by Paul on 01/03/07 at 04:11 PM ET
Comments (0)
from E. M. Swift at Sports Illustrated,
On a night when the past was being honored in Detroit—Steve Yzerman's jersey was hung from the rafters alongside those of Gordie Howe, Sid Abel, Terry Sawchuk, Ted Lindsay, and Alex Delvecchio—the future was also being foreshadowed:
Anaheim versus Detroit, two clubs that match up against each other like, well, Ducks and Wings. The best in the west (Anaheim is now 28-8-6, despite losing three straight) against the best in the NHL over the last 10 games (Detroit is 8-1-1). The Wings won Tuesday night's game against the injury-plagued Ducks, 2-1, but look for these teams to meet again in May in the Western Conference finals.

Monte Cristo
From EatingWell:
If you're not familiar with the Monte Cristo sandwich, think of it as a cross between a ham-and-cheese sandwich and deep-fried French toast. It's especially tasty with the currant or raspberry jam it's usually served with. We forgo the deep frying for a quick turn in a skillet with a bit of oil until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden.

Inclusive. Intelligent. Individual.
Videam is the collaboration fashion design company founded by Victoria Kim and Ashley Morse. Our new ChromaTex™ technology takes innovation, color, and design to the next level in fashion.
ChromaTex is a digital way to personalize the color of your clothing. ChromaTex™ is the first fabric to be constructed of "electrochromic" polymers- a flexible material that changes color when an electric charge is applied to it.
On the initial visit the customer receives a consultation with one of our apparel consultants and a body scan for 100% customization of garment fit. At this time Videam starts a client file in which all measurements, preferences, and communication with the individual is stored. When the client receives their custom made ChromaTex™ garment they also receive software that has the ability to utilize their computer or phone camera to scan their skin tone and combine that with other factors including the weather of their location, the current Pantone color report, and their preference to create color choices so that garment that complements the skin tone. Each garment comes to the customer in a neutral tone and is woven with Electrochromic polymers that can change to any color when given the right charge through its ChromaTex™ tag. Once the individual's skin tone is scanned, and the software collaborates with the other factors to produce color choices.

Tokyo Store
The wearer of the garment chooses the color that they want for the day and attaches the receiver strip (the garments tag) to a cord that connects to a computer or phone so that it can receive the charge and the garment changes colors.

Bisphenol A Safe, Says FDA
View No.1: No Need to Worry
This is the stance that the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) took in late July -- and it's in line with today's FDA draft report.
An EFSA panel reviewed bisphenol A research -- mostly done on rodents -- and concluded that bisphenol A passes through the human body much faster than in rodents, with little chance for harm to human fetuses or newborns.
That finding "supports FDA's position that data we have reviewed up until this time support the safety of the currently permitted uses of BPA in food contact material," FDA spokesman Sebastian Cianci told WebMD by email last week, before the draft report was issued. Like the European report, the FDA's draft report argues that studying bisphenol A's effects in rodents may "overestimate" bisphenol A's effects in humans.
The American Chemistry Council, a plastics industry trade group, praises the FDA's conclusion. In a news release, the council says the FDA's draft report "strongly reaffirms" the safety of bisphenol A and calls the draft report "the most up-to-date analysis on the safety of bisphenol A in the world."
Steven Hentges, PhD, of the American Chemistry Council's Polycarbonate/BPA Global Group, told WebMD last week that consumers and companies that ditched bisphenol A made those decisions "very quickly, without having complete and final information."
Hentges says the studies that touched off concern "really aren't very robust." He also sees a "language" issue dating back to the NTP's draft report.
"The NTP language was 'some concern' and people tended to focus on the word 'concern' without realizing or really thinking through that there's a qualifier up front: 'some,'" says Hentges.
View No. 2: Cause for Concern
People with concerns about bisphenol A -- including some scientists studying bisphenol A -- see no proof that bisphenol A is harmless in humans.
Vogel, who will start a fellowship at the nonprofit Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia this fall, favors banning bisphenol A, but she doesn't think that a ban is likely.
Earlier this week, Vogel told WebMD she expected the FDA would, "at a minimum, would decide to reduce the reference dose," which is the acceptable amount of bisphenol A exposure in everyday life. That didn't happen; the FDA's draft report doesn't mention changing the reference dose.

The most serious adverse reactions reported with Kinlytic™ (urokinase injection) administration include fatal hemorrhage and anaphylaxis (see WARNINGS).
Bleeding is the most frequent adverse reaction associated with Kinlytic™ and can be fatal (see WARNINGS).
In controlled clinical studies using a 12-hour infusion of urokinase for the treatment of pulmonary embolism (UPET and USPET),3,5,6 bleeding resulting in at least a 5% decrease in hematocrit was reported in 52 of 141 urokinase-treated patients. Significant bleeding events requiring transfusion of greater than 2 units of blood were observed during the 14-day study period in 3 of 141 urokinasetreated patients in these studies. Multiple bleeding events may have occurred in an individual patient. Most bleeding occurred at sites of external incisions and vascular puncture, with lesser frequency in gastrointestinal, genitourinary, intracranial, retroperitoneal, and intramuscular sites.
Sources of Information on Adverse Reactions
There are limited well-controlled clinical studies performed using urokinase. The adverse reactions described in the following sections reflect both the clinical use of Kinlytic™ (urokinase injection) in the general population and limited controlled study data. Because post-marketing reports of adverse reactions are voluntary and the population is of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate the frequency of the reaction or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Allergic Reactions
Rare cases of fatal anaphylaxis have been reported (see WARNINGS). In controlled clinical trials, allergic reaction was reported in 1 of 141 patients ( < 1%).
The following allergic-type reactions have been observed in clinical trials and/or post-marketing experience: bronchospasm, orolingual edema, urticaria, skin rash, and pruritus (see WARNINGS).
Infusion reaction symptoms include hypoxia, cyanosis, dyspnea, tachycardia, hypotension, hypertension, acidosis, fever and/or chills/rigors, back pain, vomiting, and nausea (see WARNINGS).
Other Adverse Reactions
Other adverse events occurring in patients receiving Kinlytic™ (urokinase injection) therapy in clinical studies, regardless of causality, include myocardial infarction, recurrent pulmonary embolism, hemiplegia, stroke, decreased hematocrit, substernal pain, thrombocytopenia, and diaphoresis.
Additional adverse reactions reported from post-marketing experience include cardiac arrest, vascular embolization (cerebral and distal) including cholesterol emboli (see WARNINGS), cerebral vascular accident, pulmonary edema, reperfusion ventricular arrhythmias and chest pain. A cause and effect relationship has not been established.
The immunogenicity of Kinlytic™ (urokinase injection) has not been studied.
Read the Kinlytic (urokinase injection) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
Anticoagulants and agents that alter platelet function (such as aspirin, other non-steroidal antiinflammatory agents, dipyridamole, and GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors) may increase the risk of serious bleeding.
Administration of Kinlytic™ (urokinase injection) prior to, during, or after thrombolytic agents may increase the risk of serious bleeding.
Because concomitant use of Kinlytic™ (urokinase injection) with agents that alter coagulation, inhibit platelet function, or are thrombolytic may further increase the potential for bleeding complications, careful monitoring for bleeding is recommended.
The interaction of Kinlytic™ (urokinase injection) with other drugs has not been studied and is not known.This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

I have a server with a PERC6/i card and a RAID-10 array running XenServer 6.1 with 6x VMs, one of which is SBS 2008 and the rest are a mix of file server, video-on-demand and SQL database server.
The current read/write/cache policies are as follows:
No Read Ahead
Write Back
Disk Cache Disabled
Read performance is really poor compared to write performance and I wondered if changing these settings would improve overall system performance? If so, which ones would you suggest changing?
By changing the RAID policy, does this mean the RAID array has to be created from scratch?

In this paper, we describe statistical inference and prediction for software reliability models in the presence of covariate information. Specifically, we develop a semiparametric, Bayesian model using Gaussian processes to estimate the numbers of software failures over various time periods when it is assumed that the software is changed after each time period and that software metrics information is available after each update. Model comparison is also carried out using the deviance information criterion, and predictive inferences on future failures are shown. Real-life examples are presented to illustrate the approach.

PLANS to demolish a building in Queen Street Oxford and replace it with a five-storey complex of shops and student flats have been lodged by a London property firm.
Some 133 student rooms are included in proposals for the L-shaped development, put forward by Savilles, on behalf of Reef Estates.
The buildings set to be flattened are currently occupied by Swarovski and EAT and the buildings behind Black's, in St Aldate's, would be renovated.
In its submission to Oxford City Council for building permission, the developer said that there would be a "need to implement measures to mitigate the impact of construction traffic". A plan to manage the effects of the building work would be drawn up, the firm added.
Oxford Civic Society chairman Peter Thompson said the group would examine the proposals "very closely", adding: "This is a very central and prominent location in Oxford, with many nearby buildings being historic ones."
The plans are open to comments from the public until September 5.

Shumlin expresses doubts on GMO billThe Associated Press | March 07,2013MONTPELIER — Gov. Peter Shumlin is expressing doubt about whether Vermont should pass a bill requiring special labeling for food that is genetically modified or contains genetically modified ingredients.
Shumlin says Vermont lost a lawsuit several years ago over a requirement for labels on dairy products from cows treated with an artificial growth hormone.
He says that loss in the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals makes Vermont likely not the best state to be the first to test a GMO labeling law.
A bill requiring labels on genetically modified food cleared the House Agriculture Committee last Friday, but even supporters say they expect that if it passes, it will be challenged in court by the biotech industry.MORE IN This Just In

Obama's Attorney General Pick Gets Mixed Reception
But who HASN'T helped pardon an international fugitive?
As we wrote yesterday, Obama has apparently picked Eric Holder, one of his veep vetters and a former deputy attorney general under Bill Clinton, for attorney general. Holder is black, which would be a first for the Cabinet position, and rocks a mustache, which isn't a historical first, but certainly can't hurt his prospects. But what could harm him are the concerns coming from both the right and the left — most notably, Holder's role in facilitating the infamous Marc Rich pardon. Of course, anyone who's spent more than twenty minutes in the halls of Washington has done something they regret, and Holder brings what many consider to be the type of experience and judgment that the Justice Department desperately needs.
• Jennifer Rubin wonders "why this person, who participated in a notorious Clinton scandal and himself seemed so oblivious to his own conflict of interest, would be chosen." Based on this selection and Obama's past associations, one must question whether Obama "possesses the judgment necessary to run an effective and scandal-free administration." [Pajamas Media]
• Chuck Todd and friends don't expect too much resistance from the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee over the Marc Rich pardon. After all, they may also be confirming an actual Clinton (Hillary), and if it isn't an issue for her, "it probably won't be for Holder." Plus, if the "GOP had a problem with Holder during the VP selection process — when Holder headed that up for Obama — it didn't really show it." And on the plus side, Holder is "a career Justice guy with experience as a US attorney," which may make him "a welcome nomination [for] some Justice careerists." [First Read/MSNBC]
• Michael Tomasky reminds us that in these confirmation hearings "they have to go through this insane vetting process" where something small but "disqualifying" is sometimes discovered. It's "safe to say" that the Marc Rich episode will come up. [Guardian UK]
• Steve Benen proclaims, "Everything I know of Holder is positive," and he doesn't think we should "pay any mind" to Marc Rich. Holder is "universally respected and as a former deputy AG, knows a bit about how the Justice Department is supposed to work." [Political Animal/Washington Monthly]
• Marc Ambinder says Holder is "known in political circles for one thing" — the Marc Rich pardon — "but he's very well respected by his colleagues in the legal profession." Still, he should have "one of the more interesting confirmation hearings." [Atlantic]
• John Nichols is troubled by Holder's desire to stifle dissent around the time that the Patriot Act was signed into law. He also played a role getting Chiquita "off the hook for paying protection money to right-wing death squads in Colombia." [State of Change/Nation]
• The editors of the National Review believe tapping Holder confirms that Obama's presidency will "mean a return to the September 10 mentality, a national-security outlook marked prominently by its lack of seriousness about the terrorist threat." [National Review]
• Glenn Greenwald believes, "with a couple of ultimately marginal exceptions, that this appointment would be a very positive step." Holder seems to possess "actual passion and conviction" on human rights and the rule of law, and his "views on the core principles of executive power and the Justice Department" are "encouraging." [Salon]
• Jason Tuohey suspects that, based on his past statements, Holder "may aim to roll back several of the Bush administration's most controversial legal moves." [Political Intelligence/Boston Globe]
• Spencer Ackerman approves of the "many progressive notes about terrorism-related issues" that Holder has voiced. But an early "progressive test" will be whether he investigates "the Bush administration's still-secret abuses." [Washington Independent]
• Jim Geraghty says Holder probably shouldn't even have been vetting V.P.s for Obama, and yet we now "contemplate him in a position of even greater power and responsibility." [Campaign Spot/National Review]
• Jake Tapper remembers the time when Holder held Janet Reno as she wept. [Political Punch/ABC News]

All San Diego State University majors and pre-majors are designated as impacted, meaning they have more students wanting to declare that major than can be accommodated. Students who are admitted to SDSU are placed in the pre-major of that program (if all requirements are met at the time of admission).
All premajors must meet department-specific criteria to move from the premajor to the major, such as a specified minimum grade point average, completion of prerequisite courses, tests, and completion of a certain number of units. Students are advised to review the degree evaluation in WebPortal and review the Major Prep section for details on the impaction requirements for their major. In addition, students should refer to the General Catalog of the year in which they declared a major for official requirements.
Students may visit the Academic Advising Center (SSW-1551) to review catalogs from previous years.

Charlie (Charles Manuel) Pasarell, Jr. (born February 12, 1944, San Juan, Puerto Rico) is a former Puerto Rican tennis player, Tennis Administrator and founder of the current Indian Wells tournament. He has also commented for the Tennis Channel and with Arthur Ashe and Sheridan Snyder formed the National Junior tennis League. He ten times ranked in the top ten of the U.S., ranking U.S. No. 1 in 1967 and World No. 11 in 1966.[1] Representing the United States as a player, he has been heavily engaged in the administration of the professional game from the inception of the ATP in 1972 and has been Vice President when he was still playing and until recently on the Board of Directors representing the Americas tournaments. In 2013 Pasarell was elected into the International Tennis Hall of Fame.[2]
Tennis career[edit]
He is also known as Charlito ("Little Charlie") because his father had the same name and was also a gifted tennis player, being the champion of Puerto Rico six times in the 1950s.[3]
Pasarell was a prestigious junior and first appeared on the cover of World Tennis Magazine at the age of 11 in 1955. He won over half dozen Orange Bowl titles and five U.S. Junior titles including the U.S. Juniors in Singles and Doubles with Clark Graebner in 1961. He first appeared in the U.S. Championships at Forest Hills in 1960 and was first ranked nationally that year. In 1962 he played at the Caribe Hilton Championships in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This was arguably the biggest tournament in the whole of Central, Caribbean and South America. Charlie was only just 18 and beat U.S. No. 7 Ron Holmberg, followed by Mexican No. 1 Mario Llamas 6-0, 6-0 in the quarter finals (avenging a similar defeat of his 14-year-old brother Stanley earlier in the tournament). In the semi finals Charlie met Rod Laver, who would later win his first Grand Slam that year and he took the first set 6–0 before losing in three sets. World Tennis reported that "The newspapers and magazines in Puerto Rico have put Khrushchev (Soviet leader behind the Cuban Missile Crisis) on the second page and Charlito on the first".[citation needed]
He attended the University of California, Los Angeles, where he won the NCAA men's singles and doubles with Ian Crookenden of New Zealand in 1966, one year after his friend and teammate Arthur Ashe. He reached #1 in the rankings of American men's players in 1967, also in 1967 he became the first man for over 30 years to win the U.S. National Indoors in successive years; this tournament was the biggest indoor tournament in the world and second only to the U.S. Championships in the U.S.A.
Pasarell competed in major tournaments from 1960 through 1979, with his most successful showings coming in doubles. He reached the finals in Men's Doubles at the U.S. Championships in 1965 with Frank Froehling and 1969 with Dennis Ralston, the French Open with Arthur Ashe in 1970, and the Australian Open in 1977 with Erik Van Dillen. He was a quarter finalist at the U.S. National Championships in 1965 and Wimbledon in 1976. Pasarell was also a member of the U.S. Davis Cup team in 1966, 1967, 1968, and 1974. In doubles Pasarell's most significant wins were the 1967 U.S. National Indoors with Arthur Ashe; the inaugural American Airlines Games in 1974 with Sherwood Stewart which evolved to the current tournament in Indian Wells and the Alan King Classic in 1976 with Arthur Ashe. The latter two at the time were two of the richest most prestigious tournaments in the world.
In 1969, Pasarell played Pancho Gonzales in what was, until 2010, the longest match in Wimbledon history in terms of the number of games played. The 41-year-old Gonzales finally defeated the 25-year-old 22–24, 1–6, 16–14, 6–3, 11–9 after a battle that lasted 5 hours and 12 minutes.[4] Pasarell was also the first man to beat the reigning champion in the first round at Wimbledon, when in 1967 he beat Manuel Santana. In 1968, he played the first great match[5] on centre court of open tennis when he narrowly lost to Ken Rosewall in the second round. Rex Bellamy, the celebrated tennis correspondent of The Times of London, started his article the next day by stating that "The first open Wimbledon produced its first great match", and further stated: "Among the men who climb to high places there is a saying that the mountains bring you three things - men, battle, and beauty. The men are true, the battle is the only kind worth fighting, and the beauty is life. Rosewall and Pasarell took us to the mountains yesterday - and the air was like wine." Finally, after covering other matches, the article ends, "Yet the abiding memory will be of Rosewall and Pasarell. If they show films in Valhalla, this is a match the gods will want to see." Pasarell achieved his best result at Wimbledon in 1976, when he lost in the quarter finals to former world No. 1 Ilie Năstase, after wins against Jun Kamiwazumi, Vijay Amritraj, Adriano Panatta (then ranked No. 6 in the world, having just won both the Italian and French Opens), and Phil Dent.
1977 was Pasarell's last full-time tour on the circuit and he started the year very well with a last 16 appearance in the Australian Open losing to eventual runner up Guillermo Vilas. A semi final at the South Australian Open including a win over Arthur Ashe (in their last match) and a Quarter Final at the American Airlines Games (a for runner of the Indian Wells event) with wins over Balazs Taroczy, Vijay Amritraj and Roscoe Tanner before losing narrowly to then world no.4 Brian Gottfried in 3 sets. He then had a bad run of form signalling the slow down of his career. He finished ranked 77 on the ATP Computer and 25 in the USA. He had also started the year well in doubles with Erik Van dillen. In 1978 Pasarell's career continued to wind down he was not given a wild card to Wimbledon and lost in the 1st round of Qualifying to Jan Simbera 7-5, 6-4. In 1979 he qualified for both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open and started to play veterans events. He actually made his last attempt to qualify for the main draw at Wimbledon in 1984 aged 40 when he was not invited to take part in the Over 35's singles event and lost in the first round to Jeff Turpin. He continued to play regularly on the seniors tour until the end of 1985 and then stopped playing completely in 1988. He returned in 1992 to play regularly in the U.S. Open Seniors events until his last appearance in 2002, he also played in a veterans event in Puerto Rico in 1993.
Long matches[edit]
Pasarell's match with Gonzales was the longest at Wimbledon until beaten in 2010 by the match between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut which lasted 11 hours and 5 minutes over three days and comprised 183 games. However, in 1968 on February 17 Allison Danzig of the New York Times reported that Pasarell played 9 hours and 12 minutes of tennis in the U.S. National Indoors (the second biggest tournament in America) in just over 24 hours. He played a 6-hour 20 minute doubles with Ron Holmberg losing to Mark Cox and Bobby Wilson 26-24, 17-19, 30-28. Then less than 15 hours later the reigning two time champion lost in front of a capacity crowd to Clark Graebner in a semi final that lasted 3 hours 12 minutes the score being 16-14, 4-6, 8-6, 4-6, 6-3. Danzig wrote "In all, Pasarell played 217 games in just over 24 hours, and that must stand as a record in a National Championship Tournament". In addition it should be noted these matches were played when the game was slower and also no seats were allowed on court.
Playing style[edit]
Pasarell was a very stylish player, and was coached by the celebrated Welby Van Horn (the Runner-Up in the 1939 U.S. Championships) at the Caribe Hilton Hotel, San Juan, Puerto Rico. In his 1988 book Open Tennis: The First Twenty Years, British news correspondent, radio commentator and sports writer Richard Evans wrote that "Lack of speed and a less than energetic attitude towards training probably prevented Pasarell from doing full justice to his ability. When we were on tour together in Africa in 1971 (for the $25,000 Marlboro African Grand Prix, along with Marty Riessen, Tom Okker and Arthur Ashe, and his [Pasarell's] new bride Shireen née Fareed), Ashe would tell the kids, 'Watch Charlie play and copy his strokes. He's got the best strokes in the world.'" Pasarell also had a very good service, and in 1967 at the U.S. National Indoors, the celebrated writer and player Eugene Scott gave the opinion that Pasarell and Ashe had the two hardest serves in the world.
Rex Bellamy of The Times made the following observations in regard to the 1968 Rosewall match mentioned above: "Pasarell has a straight back and broad shoulders. He is splay-footed and walks with a drawal, repeatedly pulling at his trousers as if adjusting a gun belt. His arms swing menacingly and seem to itch for a challenge to a fast draw. He has the slow, casual assurance of those poker-faced heroes in films about the old West. And his game is a gambler's, with explosive services and ground strokes. He gambled now, and he often won." In regard to Pasarell's 1976 win over Panatta at Wimbledon, Bellamy wrote: "Pasarell moves so slowly between points that at times he seems to be flirting with reverse gear. He has fast eyes and hands, but is otherwise designed exclusively for leisure. His shots are like the lashes of a whip, or sudden flashes of lightning across a muggy, drowsy landscape."
Joel Drucker included in his article in the Tennis Channel published on March 14, 2014 after Pasarell was appointed to the Hall of Fame the following description:
"But Pasarell was also a superb player, ranked number one in the U.S. in 1967. The Pasarell motion defines so much. There was a profound hip turn as he swung his racquet back. The toss was accurate, the body coiled, the delivery powerful and adept at hitting all corners. Says the man he partnered with at Indian Wells for a quarter-century, current BNP Paribas Open CEO Ray Moore, "It was one of the best service motions you'll ever see – fluid, natural." All fitting in with a principle Pasarell has followed his whole life: Shoot for the moon."

Charlie is a descendent of the Puerto Rican writer Manuel Zeno Gandia. His family's name has been synonymous with tennis in Puerto Rico since the 1930s. Apart from his father Charles Senior and mother Dora who were both island champions; Jose Luis Pasarell, Charlie's uncle was island champion in 1939, and his other uncle Nat was also highly ranked. His Auntie Maggie Pasarell de Kliess won the ladies doubles title in the 1950s. Charlie's brother Stan (Stanley Juan) who is now developing a golf course in Puerto Rico along with Charlie, was a very useful player, he won the U.S. Junior Doubles title with Alberto Carrero in 1966. Stan played in the U.S. Championships at Forest Hills six times between 1965 and 1971. In 1967 the Pasarell family won the USTA Family of the Year award. Charlie married Shireen Fareed in 1971 the daughter of the U.S. Davis Cup Doctor Omar Fareed, they have two children Farah and Charles (who represented Choate University at Tennis).

Proton Passage Across Cell Membranes (Novartis Foundation Symposia)
Proton Passage Across Cell Membranes Chairman: R. C. Thomas 1988 The control of intracellular pH is of vital importance to every living cell. This is reflected in both the diversity of systems covered within this book and their underlying similarities. Proton movement across cell membranes is achieved either by exchange for another cation or by anionic co-transport, which in turn may be direct or indirect and occur by a specific transport mechanism or by non-ionic diffusion. Whereas many transport systems were thought to be unique to the kidney, these are now being identified in a variety of cell types; their characteristics in these cells are described, including the search for inhibitors specific for each system. It is emphasized that pH homeostasis cannot be regarded as an isolated phenomenon. In nerve cells, ion movements must be regulated so that membrane potential is maintained for signal transmission; in muscle, force generation leads to the production of lactic acid, which must be eliminated; in the kidney, pH may in turn control salt excretion by the asymmetric distribution of different transporters on opposing cell membranes. There is also an interaction between proton concentrations and calcium ions, the latter acting as a second messenger for many signalling processes. The importance of pH in the action of hormones and growth factors is discussed. The development of more sensitive microelectrodes has enabled more accurate recordings to be made of pH inside and outside the cell and at the surface of the membrane. The electrophysiological studies are correlated with visual evidence from electron microscopy and the actual components of the transporters are identified using the techniques of molecular biology. Together these aspects all contribute to a greater understanding of the mechanisms of proton transport and intracellular pH regulation.

SEOUL, Dec. 23 (Yonhap) -- President Park Geun-hye said Monday she won't paper over problems just because it is difficult to resolve them, a remark seen as showing she has no intention of backing down over an unprecedentedly long rail strike.
Park made the remark during a weekly meeting with senior secretaries as the rail standoff showed no signs of ending amid the union's deep distrust of a government promise not to privatize a planned subsidiary of the state rail monopoly.
"We are in an inconvenient and difficult situation. But if we put up with and get over this period well, it will help us harden the ground for sustainable development of our economy and society," she said. "If we paper over this with an unprincipled compromise, we can't guarantee our economic and social future."
The remark came despite rising opposition criticism of the government after it sent thousands of riot police raiding the headquarters of the more militant one of South Korea's two umbrella labor organizations on Sunday in an attempt to arrest strike leaders believed to be holed up there.
The surprise operation ended without any arrest. It only exacerbated the standoff because it was the first time riot police have barged into the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions headquarters. Labor organizations and the opposition parties have denounced the raid as oppression against labor.
More than 8,700 workers of the state-run Korea Railroad Corp. (KORAIL) walked off their jobs on Dec. 9 in protest against a plan to establish a KORAIL subsidiary to run part of high-speed train services. The union suspects the move would ultimately lead to its privatization.
The government has repeatedly assured that it has no intention to privatize the planned subsidiary and promised to revoke the subsidiary's rail service license if its stakes are sold to private sectors. But labor leaders, opposition parties and other critics say they can't buy the assurances.
About 1,100 strikers have since returned to work, but rail services remain partially disrupted as most train drivers remain off their jobs. Officials say the strike is already taking a toll on the economy and would caused greater inconveniences if further prolonged.
As a solution to the standoff, the main opposition Democratic Party has demanded that the National Assembly make a law banning rail privatization. But leaders of the ruling Saenuri Party said the demand is unacceptable because such a law conflicts with free trade agreements that South Korea has with other nations.
Rep. Hwang Woo-yea, chairman of the ruling party, instead proposed that the ruling and opposition parties pass a joint parliamentary resolution against rail privatization. He also sought to defend Sunday's police raid as inevitable law enforcement.
"There is no justification anymore to continue the strike under the pretext of opposition to privatization," Hwang said during a party meeting. He also accused the DP of denouncing what he calls Sunday's "legitimate" police raid in an attempt to capitalize on the rail strike for political gains.
Opposition reaction to Hwang's proposal was not immediately available.
DP leader Kim Han-gil denounced the police raid as symbolic of the "uncommunicative" nature of the government of President Park Geun-hye. He also reiterated the party's call for anti-privatization legislation.
"Should the words of the president and the government that they won't push for privatization prove true, there is no reason not to resolve the situation through dialogue," Kim said. "We can resolve the situation with legislation banning privatization."

13 July 2016 - It's not easy nowadays to stand for making Social Security financially sound. It's much easier to make grandiose (and expensive) promises to expand benefits for everyone, even though the funding is insufficient.
