What causes psoriatic arthritis?
The cause of psoriatic arthritis is currently unknown. A combination of genetic, immune, and environmental factors is likely involved. In patients with psoriatic arthritis who have arthritis of the spine, a blood test gene marker called HLA-B27 is found in about 50%. Several other genes have also been found to be more common in patients with psoriatic arthritis. Certain changes in the immune system may also be important in the development of psoriatic arthritis. For example, the decline in the number of immune cells called helper T cells in people with AIDS (HIV infection) may play a role in the development and progression of psoriasis in these patients. The importance of infectious agents and other environmental factors in the cause of psoriatic arthritis is being investigated by researchers.
What are risk factors for developing psoriatic arthritis?
The major risk factor for developing psoriatic arthritis is having a family member with psoriasis. This relationship has been recognized as so significant that it is used as a helpful part of the history for the doctor to diagnose psoriatic arthritis. It might be that stressful life situations could affect the immune system, allowing for the expression and/or exacerbation of psoriatic arthritis. However, precisely how these emotional issues are related to psoriatic arthritis has not been established.
What are psoriatic arthritis symptoms and signs?
In most patients, the psoriasis precedes the arthritis by months to years. There can be tiny pitting nail changes of the finger and toenails. The type of psoriatic arthritis depends on the distribution of the joints affected. Accordingly, there are five types of psoriatic arthritis: symmetrical, asymmetric and few joints, spondylitis, distal interphalangeal joints, and arthritis mutilans.
The arthritis frequently involves the knees, ankles, and joints in the feet. Usually, only a few joints are inflamed at a time. The inflamed joints become painful, stiff, swollen, hot, tender, and red. There is usually loss of range of motion of the involved joints. Sometimes, joint inflammation in the fingers or toes can cause swelling of the entire digit, giving them the appearance of a "sausage." Joint stiffness is common and is typically worse early in the morning. Less commonly, psoriatic arthritis may involve many joints of the body in a symmetrical fashion, mimicking the pattern seen in rheumatoid arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis can also cause inflammation of the spine (spondylitis) and the sacrum, causing pain and stiffness in the low back, buttocks, neck, and upper back. Occasionally, psoriatic arthritis involves the small joints at the ends of the fingers. A very destructive, though less common, form of arthritis called "mutilans" can cause rapid damage to the joints. Fortunately, this form of arthritis is rare in patients with psoriatic arthritis.
Patients with psoriatic arthritis can also develop inflammation of the tendons (tendinitis) and around cartilage. Inflammation of the tendon behind the heel causes Achilles tendinitis, leading to pain with walking and climbing stairs. Inflammation of the chest wall and of the cartilage that links the ribs to the breastbone (sternum) can cause chest pain, as seen in costochondritis.
Aside from arthritis and spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis can cause fatigue and inflammation in other organs, such as the eyes, lungs, and aorta. Inflammation in the colored portion of the eye (iris) causes iritis, a painful condition that can be aggravated by bright light as the iris opens and closes the opening of the pupil. Corticosteroids injected directly into the eyes are sometimes necessary to decrease inflammation and prevent blindness. Inflammation in and around the lungs (pleuritis) causes chest pain, especially with deep breathing as the lungs expand against the inflamed areas, as well as shortness of breath. Inflammation of the aorta (aortitis) can cause leakage of the aortic valves, leading to heart failure and shortness of breath.
Acne and nail changes are commonly seen in psoriatic arthritis. Pitting and ridges are seen in fingernails and toenails of 80% of patients with psoriatic arthritis. Interestingly, these characteristic nail changes are observed in only a minority of psoriasis patients who do not have arthritis. Acne has been noted to occur in higher frequency in patients with psoriatic arthritis. In fact, a syndrome exists that features inflammation of the joint lining (synovitis), acne, pustules on the feet or palms, thickened and inflamed bone (hyperostosis), and bone inflammation (osteitis). This syndrome is, therefore, named by the eponym SAPHO syndrome.

United Kingdom Pagan Resources and References
There is an almost endless list of websites dedicated to art, music, and traditions of the British isles with more popping up all the time. Many of these sites keep links up to the best of witchcraft resource pages. Included in those links are places like:
The Ancient Sacred Landscape Network or ASLaN: Made up of a unique range of groups who are dedicated to the conservation and easy access of sacred sites. ASLAN want to create national attention among local groups and national bodies to create an exchange of information. They want to be the governing body that acts as a point of government for all of this information between groups including their plans and problems. That position would also allow them to govern sacred sites while circulating the news of all the groups in the network.
The British Druid Order: Officially called Mother Grove of the British Druid Order (BDO) this group was created in 1979 to revive British paganism. The BDO teach the ways of the Druids as a natural form of spirituality including their healing methods. Teaching followers how to find the divine in all aspects of their live to promote healing, unity, and a better society for us all.
These two groups are just examples of the sea of British affiliated Pagan and Wiccan resources and references. For many the Craft can be a thing of mystery, ever elusive. For some the Craft may come to them as easily as breathing. None the less for both having resources on hand to guide you are just as important. These two groups hold a massive amount of information but there are many smaller websites that can help a person on their journey through the craft.
The White Goddess which is at thewhitegoddess.co.uk is a pretty large resource for those in the United Kingdom who are interested in learning the different paths of Paganism as they are seen in the UK. The White Goddess also has a set of forums that allow you to ask questions and interact with other pagans across the world. The White Goddess also offers many in depth guides to different aspects of the Craft such as Sabbats, the elements, Moon phases and more.
Witchcraftandmagic.uk is a London based website with lots of local options intertwined within it. Within this website you can find lots of information on the facts and histories of United Kingdom pagan sects including eco-magicians, outdoor pagans, and woodland witches. Witchcraftandmagic.uk is also the host and sponsor of the Gaian Times Magazine which is a digital goings on of the Londoner pagans and magic workers. This website also offers courses and initiations for those who are new to Wicca and Paganism who may not know just where to get started.
The United Kingdom as a whole is rich with Pagan history. This history reaches back farther than being within the isles themselves but it is still quite important. The true dawning of our more modern paganism began with the Druids of the British Isles. These men and women focused their energy on the betterment of their people as well as being in tuned with nature and the gods. This love of nature can be seen even now in many religions as well as political views. Druidism was a widely practiced religion for many hundreds of years before falling to the wayside with the invasions from Rome. The Roman invasion forced the Druids underground and eventually turned Druidism into a thing of the past and the dusty scrolls wherein its doctrine lay sleeping. Many of these manuscripts were lost to time though the few that were not are still greatly treasured.
After the invasions of Rome and the Roman retreat the British Isles went through a religious evolution. The Romans opened up the pathway for Christianity to filter into the Isles. This Christianity grew into the Catholic and Protestant and Lutheran sects that we still see in Britain today.
In the 1950's is when we actually see a revival of the ways of the British Druids and the Pagans. The religion itself is ancient but its newest and most modern form is somewhat recent which can be a surprise to some. British Druidism and Paganism has been used and absorbed into many other branches and sects across the world though many are centralized within North America and the British Isles.
The revival of contemporary Wicca and Paganism can really be traced back to one gentleman and his published works. Gerald Brosseau Gardener who went by the Wiccan name Scire, is the main reason why Paganism came back into the spotlight as an established religion.
Gardener was a man of many interests as well as many talents. Beyond being an author he was also an amateur though devout anthropologist as well as archaeologist. Through these hobbies we were given the revival of Paganism as well as the creation of Gardnerian Wicca.
After moving to London to 1945 Gardener began his journey into bringing the magic back. He wrote several tomes that helped Wicca get the boost it needed like High Magic's Aid written in 1949, Witchcraft Today written in 1954, and The Meaning of Witchcraft written in 1959. Through these books and his own coven creation Gardener brought his knowledge of the Craft to many others who would not have otherwise known about the religion at all. Gardener is the internationally recognized "Father of Wicca" and he earned it.

How can I export products from one site and import into another?
How can I export products from one site and import into another?
Hi LittleDove22,
You can export and import products using the standard WordPress Export and Import screens under the Tools menu.
If you open up the Export menu you will see that you have the choice of exporting 'all content' or selecting a page or post type. The shop products are all 'Shop' items in this menu, so select just that radio button. This will produce a WordPress export file containing just shop products.
Then on the site where you want to import, you use the import menu and upload the file you created in the last step. (you may have to install the WordPress importer and it will prompt you for this)
A limitation that I am working on is that WordPress import does not move the images for your products - it will link back to them on the original site. As long as the images are not deleted from the old site then things will still work but you will see warnings in the listing of all products that the images are 'not local' and this displays a little slowly in the back end and means you rely on the other site on the front end.
To get around this warning you will need to move the images to your site - either:
1. Copy the /uploads/sas-images/ folder to your new site and manually edit the image links (or use SQL in the database if you are happy to do that).
2. Re upload the images for the products in the new site.
I have a work item on my to do list called "Automate image import" for the next version of the plugin and hopefully it will mean that you can automatically copy images from a remote location into your site.
If you need anything else then let me know, if this has answered your question then it would be great if you mark it resolved.

French Women's Diet Secret: Yogurt
Easy, portable, and tasty, yogurt may also aid in weight loss
By Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RD/LD
Reviewed By Charlotte E. Grayson, MD
For many years, eating yogurt has been associated with good health. The creamy dairy food has long been a staple of Mediterranean, Indian, and French diets. In fact, according to Mireille Guilliano, author of the best-selling French Women Don't Get Fat, yogurt is one of the French secrets to weight control.
Americans love their yogurt just as much as the French, although we don't necessarily think of it as diet food. We gobbled up $2.5 billion worth last year. Stroll down the yogurt aisle at your supermarket and you'll see a dizzying array of choices: trendy new flavors, additives ranging from granola to candy, fat-free and sugar-free types, creamy blended varieties, drinkable and squeezable yogurts, and fiber-enriched and probiotic options.
No wonder we love it, in all its forms. Yogurt is portable, convenient, nutritious, and delicious, and works for breakfast, dessert, or a snack.
Yogurt and Weight Loss
In her book, Guiliano touts yogurt as the ultimate way to manage hunger.
"Yogurt is the perfect food because it is high in calcium, [and] has carbs, protein and fat, which are what you need in every meal," she tells WebMD.

Electronic excitation and oscillator strength of ethyl iodide by VUV photoabsorption and electron energy loss spectroscopy110(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.478964View Description Hide Description
A high resolution VUV photoabsorptionspectrum of ethyl iodide has been recorded between 4 and 10.2 eV (310–120 nm) using synchrotron radiation. The spectrum consists of a broad structureless absorption band centered at 4.78 eV, followed by a region dominated by excitation of Rydberg states. A high resolution photoelectron spectrum (PES) of the lowest energy ionization band has been obtained and provides ionization energies necessary for identification of related Rydberg-excited states. Also, analysis of the vibrational fine structure in the PES has allowed identification of the normal vibrational modes excited and their wave numbers in the ion. These, in turn, have been used in the assignment of the lowest energy photoabsorption bands arising from electron excitation into the Rydberg orbital. An electron energy loss spectrum has also been recorded from 5.8 to 14.2 eV, under electric-dipole conditions. It confirms the magnitude of the photoabsorption cross section values obtained using the synchrotron radiation and extends the differential and optical oscillator strength values up to 14.2 eV.
Ionization potentials of clusters: Experiment and theory110(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.478965View Description Hide Description
We report on experimental and theoretical investigations of the ionization potentials and structures of lithium monoxide clusters. The clusters were produced by a laser vaporization source, laser ionized, and mass selected by a time-of-flightmass spectrometer. Threshold photoionization spectroscopy was performed using photon energies of 3–5.52 eV and 6.4 eV. Ionization potentials of were derived from the photoionization efficiency curves. The evolution of the ionization potentials as a function of cluster size shows distinct steps at 22, and 42, and a pronounced odd–even staggering up to These steps are in agreement with the shell model for metallic clusters, provided that the oxygen atom localizes two of the lithium valence electrons while leaving the other valence electrons delocalized in a metallic cluster. For the small clusters fine structure is observed in the threshold spectra, possibly due to the presence of isomeric states in the cluster beam. Geometries and relative stabilities of the smaller clusters were computed by means of density functional theory using the B3LYP functional, and adiabatic and vertical ionization potentials were calculated. A comparison with the experimental ionization potentials provides evidence for the greater importance of rigid geometricalstructures over metal-like characteristics for the small clusters.
Crossed-beam reaction of carbon atoms with hydrocarbon molecules. V. Chemical dynamics of formation from reaction of with allene,110(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.478966View Description Hide Description
The crossed molecular beams technique was employed to investigate the reaction between ground statecarbon atoms, and allene, at two averaged collision energies of 19.6 and 38.8 kJ mol−1. Product angular distributions and time-of-flight spectra of were recorded. Forward-convolution fitting of the data yields weakly polarized center-of-mass angular flux distributions isotropic at lower, but forward scattered with respect to the carbonbeam at a higher collision energy. The maximum translational energy release and the angular distributions combined with ab initio and RRKM calculations are consistent with the formation of the radical in its electronic ground state. The channel to the isomer contributes less than 1.5%. Reaction dynamics inferred from the experimental data indicate that the carbon atom attacks the π-orbitals of the allenic carbon–carbon double bond barrierless via a loose, reactant-like transition state located at the centrifugal barrier. The initially formed cyclopropylidene derivative rotates in a plane almost perpendicular to the total angular momentum vector around its C-axis and undergoes ring opening to triplet butatriene. At higher collision energy, the butatriene complex decomposes within 0.6 ps via hydrogen emission to form the isomer and atomic hydrogen through an exit transition state located 9.2 kJ mol−1 above the products. The explicit identification of the radical under single collision represents a further example of a carbon–hydrogen exchange in reactions of ground statecarbon atoms with unsaturated hydrocarbons. This channel opens a barrierless route to synthesize extremely reactive hydrocarbon radicals in combustion processes, interstellar chemistry, and hydrocarbon-rich atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, Titan, as well as Triton.
Infrared spectra of and trapped in solid neon110(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.478967View Description Hide Description
New studies of the infrared spectra of the products which result on codeposition at approximately 5 K of a Ne:NO sample with Ne atoms that have been excited in a microwavedischarge have led to new and revised assignments for several ionic species. The appearance of the absorption of for several new species with asymmetric isotopic substitution, but for no symmetrically substituted species, confirms the transground-state configuration for The behavior of a neon-matrix product absorption at 1227.5 cm−1 parallels that of an argon-matrix absorption at 1221.0 cm−1 which has recently been assigned to The identity of the carrier of a product absorption at 1424.1 cm−1, contributed by a vibration of two symmetrically equivalent NO groups, has not been definitively established. This absorption exhibits complex photodestruction behavior. Three absorptions are assigned to which has symmetry, with the aid of density functional calculations of the isotopic substitution pattern for the vibrational fundamentals of this species. Similar calculations of the isotopic substitution patterns for other structures result in poor agreement with the experiments. Photodestruction of trapped in solid neon yields the complex.
Scattering cross sections for low-energy alkali cation collisions: The relevance of polarization110(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.478968View Description Hide Description
Total scattering cross sections for low-energy collisions of fullerene with alkali ions are theoretically estimated using an accurate spherical potential approximation. These cross sections show the relevance of polarization effects. Our results indicate a way in which collisional experimental methods could be used to measure the high polarizabilities of and other fullerenes.
A quantum chemical study of negatively charged methanol clusters110(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.478969View Description Hide Description
We performed high-level quantum chemical density functional theory calculations on negatively charged methanol clusters containing up to six monomers. The calculations suggest that there exist stable methanol cluster anions and that these anions are more stable than similar cluster anions of water. Linear hydrogen bonded methanol chains are observed to bind the excess electron on dipole bound states. The orientation and the size of the excess electron were characterized by the position of the center of mass and the radius of gyration of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO). The electron occupies a large diffuse orbital concentrated outside the molecular frame in the molecular dipole direction. The tendencies of the dipole moments, the vertical electron detachment energies, and the size of the HOMOs all fit in the same cooperative trend, suggesting stronger interactions in larger anions. We also located stable cluster anions which can serve as model systems for the solvated electron in liquid methanol. Multiple interactions with dominantly bond-oriented arrangement toward the solvated electron are probably strongly favored in the liquid phase for energetic reasons. Although the size of the excess electron is still significantly larger than expected from quantum molecular dynamics simulations, the general decreasing trend of the radius of gyration with increasing cluster size is reassuring. Similarly to the interactions, we located interactions between appropriately oriented methyl hydrogens and the excess electron in a large anion of six methanol molecules. We propose the interactions of both the hydroxyl hydrogens and the methyl hydrogens with the excess electron to be considered hydrogen bonds.
Reactions of laser-ablated iron atoms and cations with carbon monoxide: Infrared spectra of and in solid neon110(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.478970View Description Hide Description
Laser-ablated iron atoms, cations, and electrons have been reacted with CO molecules during condensation in excess neon. The FeCO molecule is observed at 1933.7 cm−1 in solid neon. Based on isotopic shifts and density functional calculations, the FeCO molecule has the same ground state in solid neon that has been observed at 1946.5 cm−1 in a recent high resolution gas phase investigation [Tanaka et al., J. Chem. Phys. 106, 2118 (1997)]. The C–O stretching vibration of the molecule is observed at 1917.1 cm−1 in solid neon, which is in excellent agreement with the 1928.2 cm−1 gas phase value for the linear molecule. Anions and cations are also produced and trapped, absorptions at 1782.0, 1732.9, 1794.5, and 1859.7 cm−1 are assigned to the linear trigonal planar and anions, respectively, and 2123.0, 2134.0 cm−1 absorptions to the linear and cations. Doping these experiments with virtually eliminates the anion absorptions and markedly increases the cation absorptions, which confirms the charge identifications. Higher iron carbonyl and absorptions are produced on photolysis.
Potential energy surface and vibrational eigenstates of the van der Waals complex110(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.479047View Description Hide Description
A four-dimensional potential energy surface has been calculated for the long-range interaction between rigid and rigid Electronic structure calculations were performed using single-reference wave function with singles and doubles configuration interaction. Davidson and counterpoise corrections were applied. The atomic orbital basis set was of quality with f-type basis functions removed. The interaction energy at a grid of 865 points was fit by a standard expression in terms of the two in-plane angles, the dihedral angle, and the distance between the diatoms' centers of mass. This fit facilitated examination of the surface and calculation of vibrational eigenstates. The potential exhibits two distinct minima: linear H–H…N–C and T-shaped 100 and 68 cm−1 below the dissociation asymptote, respectively. Bound states for and were calculated for zero total angular momentum ignoring spin). Approximate calculations for levels with (where K is the body-fixed projection of J) are also reported. States correlating with were found to be more deeply bound than those that correlate with The binding energies of CN–orthoH2 and CN–paraD2 are predicted to be 26 and 34 cm−1, respectively. These values are in reasonable agreement with a recent spectroscopic determination from this laboratory. Nuclear wave functions show that the average geometry changes dramatically on excitation of the intermolecular vibrations.
High-resolution ultraviolet laser spectroscopy on jet-cooled benzene molecules: Ground and excited electronic state polarizabilities determined from static Stark effect measurements110(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.478971View Description Hide Description
Static electric polarizabilities of the ground electronic and the vibronically excited state of benzene were measured by applying ultraviolet (UV) laser Stark spectroscopy. The experimental setup consisted of a frequency doubled tunable narrow-band continuous wave (cw) laser system operating at 259 nm, a molecular beam apparatus, and a capacitor capable of generating strong static and homogeneous electric fields up to 250 kV/cm. Experimental linewidths of less than 30 MHz were achieved for the rotational transitions, and Stark displacements of typically several 10 MHz could be detected. Stark patterns of 16 rotational lines were recorded and analyzed under different field strengths. Validity of second-order perturbation theory was confirmed by the observed effects, and the diagonal components of the polarizability tensors could be adjusted by a weighted least-squares technique. Results were applied to calculating Stark spectra and comparing them to experimental data. Good agreement could be found, except for an obscure singular perturbation within one rotational line. The new polarizabilities were compared to both experimental and theoretical results in the literature. Ground state data are in general agreement, whereas no comparable experimental work addressing the excited electronic state exists. Finally, polarizabilities of the beginning five polyacenes were compiled and compared with the benzene data.
Rearrangements and tunneling splittings of protonated water dimer110(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.478972View Description Hide Description
Stationary points and rearrangement mechanisms are characterized for protonated water dimer with a variety of basis sets and both Møller–Plesset and density functional theory to describe electron correlation. The results are consistent at each level of theory and suggest that this molecule will exhibit interesting tunneling splitting patterns which should be resolvable experimentally.

Room had lots of space.
The people in the room next to us were having a party or something. They were very loud at 11pm. I had to beat on the door and tell them my children couldn't sleep because of the noise.

They added an extra $24.00 to our bill without ANY explanation! That is unacceptable! It is bad enough we get hit with a VISA surcharge!

Cointegration relationship and time varying co-movements among Indian and Asian developed stock markets
This paper aims to explore links between the Indian stock market and three developed Asian markets (i.e. Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore) using cointegration methodologies in order to explore interdependence. We further estimate the time-varying conditional correlation relationships among these markets. We find that correlations rose dramatically during periods of crisis and return to their initial levels after the crisis. Finally, we investigated the presence of different volatility regime across stock markets. International investors may find useful to model their portfolio by also considering how volatile stock markets are. Results show that estimated probability of being in the low volatility state is the highest for all stock markets considered, as well as the probability to switch from a medium- to high-volatility state. Results suggest a short-run relationship and absence of a strong long-run relationship among these markets. Absence of long-run linkages among these markets may provide potential benefits for the investors that look at emerging markets to enhance their risk adjusted returns by including emerging markets in their portfolios.

Domino XML (DXL) is the representation of Domino design elements in XML format using the Domino DTD located in the Notes\xmlschemas directory. (Lotus Notes/Domino 7 will also include XML schema documents.) DXL provides a great way for exposing Domino application data to other platforms. For example, DXL allows you to export and import Domino data and design elements as a form of XML. DXL was originally introduced in Lotus Domino 5 and, in more recent releases, has become part of the core of Lotus Domino. (For a good introduction to DXL, see the developerWorks: Lotus article, "Lotus Domino and IBM WebSphere integration solutions: Domino XML.")
In this article, we discuss the key components of a DXL framework created in Lotus Domino 6.5.x to view, create, and update Domino data. This framework consists of a Domino database containing three LotusScript agents for viewing, updating, and creating Notes documents. This article assumes that you're an experienced application developer with experience working with Lotus Domino and XML.
The DXL framework
Our custom DXL framework simplifies Notes object access from any client. There are multiple avenues to access Domino objects from various programming platforms. However, each access method presents unique challenges, based on a given scenario. For example, DIIOP access used by custom Java applications cannot traverse traditional firewalls where only HTTP traffic is permitted. Therefore, there are no out-of-the-box ways to create or read documents in an application-neutral way. This is why XML is a good choice. If you are building a Microsoft .Net client or a custom Java client with special requirements (such as a firewall), then our DXL framework can provide a good solution.
For example, you can use our DXL framework to build an application that allows a user to:
- View a list of Notes documents from a Notes view
- Select a document from that list and view the details of the Notes document
- Update values on that selected document
- Create a new Notes document
Figure 1 illustrates the key design elements that make up our DXL framework.
Figure 1. DXL framework
As Figure 1 shows, our DXL framework consists of a Domino database (database.nsf) that contains three LotusScript agents:
- [DXLUpdateDoc] accepts XML in the DXL format and processes the request from the client to update a selected document, given a document UNID.
- [DXLCreateDoc] accepts XML in DXL format and processes the client request to create a new document.
- [DXLViewDoc] returns XML of the selected document, given a document UNID.
We describe the inner workings of these agents later in this article. In addition, you can use the native ability of a Notes view to render XML data using the ?ReadViewEntries URL command to request the XML data from the selected Notes view.
In this article, we focus on the server-side components of our DXL framework. (To download the sample agents shown in Figure 1, go to the Downloads section at the end of this article.)
View and document DXL formats
Let's now look at how the DXL formats for a view and document are laid out. Figure 2 shows the DXL of a view.
Figure 2. DXL format for a Notes view
In Figure 2:
- Blue circles represent elements.
- Gray ovals represent attributes.
- Yellow rectangles represent character data.
- Green arrows indicate "contains one of."
- Black arrows indicate aggregation.
As Figure 2 shows, viewentries is the top level element. It contains one or more viewentry elements, which in turn contain one or more entrydata elements. Each entrydata element can have one of the following elements: text, number, datetime, and numberlist.
NOTE: In this section, we discuss the DXL viewentries element, which gives the contents of the view in DXL format. Do not confuse this with the DXL view element, which is the actual description of the view in DXL format.
The key attributes that we use during XML processing are illustrated as well. For viewentries elements, we use toplevelentries to get a count of all documents in a view. From viewentry, we get the UNID (to be stored for later use) and the columnnumber attribute from entrydata to look for the field values we need.
The following is a snippet of the view DXL code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <viewentries toplevelentries="26"> <viewentry position="1" unid="F0C7DF1BE84F48B685256F0800720716" noteid="1392" siblings="26"> <entrydata columnnumber="0" name="$18"> <number>0</number></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="1" name="$17"> <text>Styles, Ron</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="2" name="$12"> <text></text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="3" name="CompanyName"> <text></text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="4" name="$16"> <text>R Styles@ABC</text></entrydata> <entrydata columnnumber="5" name="$21"> <text>NotesMail/HQ/ABC</text></entrydata> </viewentry> ...... </viewentries>
Figure 3 illustrates the Notes document DXL (in our case, a Person document in database.nsf).
Figure 3. DXL format for a Notes document
In this article, we focus on the elements and attributes shown in the preceding figure for a DXL Notes document. (We do not use the noteinfo and updatedby elements, so we excluded them from Figure 3.) As the illustration shows, document is the top level element and contains one or more item elements. In turn, each item element can have one of the following elements: text, number, datetime, numberlist, and textlist. The key attribute for the item element is name and is used to check for the field values we are interested in.
The following is a snippet of an example document's DXL code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <!DOCTYPE document SYSTEM 'xmlschemas/domino_6_5_1.dtd'> <document xmlns="http://www.lotus.com/dxl" version='6.5' maintenanceversion='1.0' replicaid='85256F080071E637' form='Person'> <noteinfo >......</noteinfo> <updatedby>......</updatedby> <item name='Title'><text/></item> ...... <item name='Owner' authors='true' names='true' protected='true'><text> CN=Ron Styles/OU=HQ/O=ABC</text></item> </document>
Opening a view
Now that we have an understanding of the DXL formats for the view and the document, let's look at the internal sequence of events that occurs when a client views a list of documents in our sample database's All Documents view:
- The user opens the custom client application, passing in the user ID and password. (Alternately, this can be provided in a configuration file.)
- The client application creates an HTTP request to the Domino server against the target database view, using the ?ReadViewEntries query string. In this case, the view is our sample All Documents view, showing all the documents in the example database.
- The Domino server authenticates the user and processes the request, sending XML data back to the client in the HTTP response.
- The client application processes the XML data received from the server and displays the list of documents in the All Documents view.
Figure 4 illustrates this process.
Figure 4. Viewing documents
Opening a document
The following steps occur when a client opens a Notes document in the All Documents view:
- The user opens the All Documents view as described in the preceding section.
- The user selects a document to open.
- The client application obtains the UNID of the selected document and sends an HTTP request to the Domino server against the target database with a URI of /ViewDXLDoc?Open&unid=<doc UNID>.
- The Domino server processes the request, authenticating the user and processing the agent request, which outputs the DXL format of the document (whose UNID was sent in the request).
- The XML data of the DXL document is received by the custom client and processed.
- A detailed view of the selected document is displayed to the user.
Figure 5 shows this process.
Figure 5. Opening a document
Creating a document
When a user creates a new Notes document, the following sequence occurs:
- The user launches the client application and selects the appropriate menu option for creating a new document.
- The user is presented with a custom document form within the application. The user completes this form and submits/saves it.
- The application extracts the form data and formats it into XML (conforming to DXL document format) and invokes the DXLCreateDoc agent. This sends the DXL content in the HTTP request.
- The Domino server authenticates the user and processes the agent request.
- The XML data in the DXL document is processed by the DXLCreateDoc agent, and the return message is sent back to the client.
- A success/failure message of the form submit action is displayed to the user.
Figure 6 displays these steps.
Figure 6. Creating a document
The custom DXL agents
In this section, we examine how our [DXLViewDoc], [DXLUpdateDoc], and [DXLCreateDoc] LotusScript agents work internally. These agents are critical components of our DXL framework. We examine code snippets for each agent, explaining what each snippet is doing. (To download the full code for these agents, go to the Downloads section.)
The [DXLViewDoc] agent returns the XML of a selected document. This agent begins by setting up the standard variables. We get the document object using the session document context method. Response to the HTTP request is handled using standard print statements. The first thing we do is initialize the response content type to text/xml. We also catch any errors.
Sub Initialize Dim s As New notessession Dim db As notesdatabase Dim doc As notesdocument Dim doc1 As notesdocument Set doc1 = s.DocumentContext Print "Content-type: text/xml" On Error Goto err1 Set db = s.currentdatabase Dim stg As String
We then look for the UNID passed-in via query string of the requesting URL with minimal error checking.
stg = doc1.Query_String(0) If Len(stg) < 5 Then Goto err1 End If If Instr(stg,"unid=") < 1 Then Goto err1 Else stg = Right(stg,Len(stg)-Instr(stg,"=")) End If
After we have a valid UNID, we get a handle to the Notes document and export the content to XML using the NotesDXLExporter, ensuring that there are no DTD requirements set as part of the XML.
Set doc = db.GetDocumentByUnID(stg) Dim exporter As NotesDXLExporter Dim stream As notesstream Set exporter = s.CreateDXLExporter exporter.OutputDOCTYPE=False Set stream = s.CreateStream Call exporter.SetInput(doc) Call exporter.SetOutput(stream) Call exporter.Process
We then get the text from the stream object and output it to the client.
Print stream.ReadText() End err1: Print "You reached in error" Resume End Sub
The [DXLUpdateDoc] agent processes client requests to update a selected document. We use the Request_Content attribute of the request to get a handle on the actual XML sent by the client and to pipe it to the stream object.
Dim x As NotesItem Dim stream As NotesStream Set x =doc.GetFirstItem("Request_Content") ........... ..... Call stream.WriteText(x.Text)
We then instantiate NotesDXLImporter to consume the stream within the database context and specify that this import is an update (and not a create).
Dim imp As NotesDXLImporter Set imp = session.CreateDXLImporter(stream, db) imp.DocumentImportOption=DXLIMPORTOPTION_UPDATE_ELSE_IGNORE imp.ReplicaRequiredForReplaceOrUpdate = False Call imp.Process
The [DXLCreateDoc] agent processes client requests to create a new document. This agent closely resembles DXLUpdateDoc agent. The major difference between these agents is that during the process of consuming the stream within the database context, we specify that this import is a creation type so that a new document can be created.
In this article, we described how you can leverage the DXL features offered in Lotus Notes/Domino 6 and later to create a framework for viewing and updating existing Notes documents using custom LotusScript agents. This framework is designed to simplify access to Notes objects. It uses XML rather than HTML and is, therefore, simple to process by any application that knows how to deal with XML. Because it is transmitted over HTTP, it is firewall friendly.
The goal of this article is to prepare you to design applications to access and process Domino data using the DXL framework we have described. You can use this framework when designing applications for both the Web (JSR168 portlets) and the rich client (Eclipse RCP).

Holy cow! How big is the Catalina!!
Started raining about midday, we had to leave at 1.30 still raining. I feel for the organisers, it would have been a great day otherwise. I didn't even get to see any flying much and the flight line was under covers. Still, had a nice drive with the missus and grabbed a couple of goodies from the retailers that were there.

Had the pleasure of seeing about two hrs of fantastic flying before mother nature turned out for the worst. Thought we could push through the rain but with two kids in tow, they couldn't.
My compliments to the organisers for a great show on and off the ground. Plenty of things to keep the kids occupied as they loved the RC tank battles.
Was well thought of in its planning and execution. Loved looking at the trophies as they made me wish I was a better flyer.
Already looking forward to doing it all again next year.
Few points to make it even better- add extra speakers down the flanks as I sat down near the WW2 vehicles and could not really hear the announcer.
-Have a stand set up by either MAAQ or MAAA so spruke what they can do for the flying noobs and direct them to a good club, or even bring in AMAS.
-On one of the adjacent field set up instructors with TX on buddy cables and easy to fly planes to capture the hearts of future pilots. Once they have that initial fly they will be hooked.
-Bring in Hobby King for some serious bargains and competition.
-Possibly having one of the days also as a swap meet held in the carpark. Good way to draw flyers in not only to see the flying but get that bonus plane after getting rid on another one.
I am so glad I attended even though it rained. Beautiful place, planes and flying.
Well done to all concerned.

Yeah we also made the trek out. You couldn't help but feel for Chris gratton and Steve Thomas, you could see the disappointment on their faces over the weather.
We got there a little before twang because I got to see one of Ail Machinchi's flight with a moki powered robart P-47, so that ticked a box for me. Would have loved to have seen more but left slightly after the mass exsodus.
The prizes and trophies looked awesome!! And that wasn't helped when one of the judges I knew asked why I wasn't competing?? I did not I could, thought it was by invitation only, but it turns out you have to apply first. Ah well, has spurred me on to get my FW-190 properly detailed and ready for next year/time.
was it only a Saturday event?
Man the weather can be a bstd sometimes. Sorry to hear that it was washed out, events like this are too few and far between.
Twang, Ticketec posted it like that for the people in the northern hemisphere....

We got there about 7.30 am, saw plenty of brilliant flying before the weather arrived. Even then plenty of pilots kept us entertained once the rain eased off. Ali and Mike were awesome. Holy cow that turbine powered carbon glider thing was unbelievable. 180 degree turns at near 300 kph and apparently that is the low powered version!
Even though I fly foamies, made me want to get home and practice.
Even sponsorship and support is always welcomed but I didn't think the traders did themselves too many favours. I picked up some tools and bits and pieces from my regular guy but would have though there would have been a few deals on offer for planes to shift some stock. I took my "hobby budget" with me but brought nearly all of it home.
I was wondering if there was any news about the reason(s) for the loss of that turbine?

My new iPhone really didn't want to post any pic's the right way up
Now that I have got back home from work here you go....
Weather aside, it was great to see something like this organised and sponsored in Queensland and I hope they aren't put off and we see it again. I would have liked to see more retail/wholesale support, although the guys that were there seemed to be doing alright.
The Show Went on
Guys, I wish you had hung around, the worst of the rain passed in about 90 mins, then as it eased, Ken got his jet trainer into the air. There were 3 flights of that, with some of the non-jet guys getting the controls for a wazz.
One of the blokes was performing a split S on the 3rd flight when the elevator servo failed. The result was most impressive.
So the rain Saturday didn't wash us out, it merely put us on pause for a couple of hours.
Also a nice crowd of about 600 turned up Sunday to see some more very impressive comp flying
As far as sugguestions I have read here, thank you. I will be addressing those with the SGAI Committee at the de brief next weekend.
For those who did come out, thank you. I hope you had a good time, and enjoyed the Fantastic facility built by Chris Gratton.
I was the Bloke in the Yellow shirt with the camera vest with all the pockets, and the camera around his neck.
If you didn't see it, here's the link to the 7 News story by Peter Doherty.
I'll be updating with pics as I go over the next week or so.
Thanks all.
Got out there on Sat about an hour before the rain set in and was very impressed with what we saw. The speed of the glider thing with the jet attached was unbelievable! Drooled over the display of the large scale warbirds, Catalina, Mosquito, Blackwidow etc and was disapointed they didn't get in the air, I presume due to weather.
Felt very sorry for the guy with the twin boom jet that went in nose first at speed. There wasn't a reconisable part in the handfuls of wreckage the rescue team brought back.
What happened on Sunday? was the weather any better?
By late arvo on Saturday the entrance to the carpark had turned in to a liquid swamp and if Sunday was as wet it would have been 4WD only.
Stil haven't worked out how those aerobatic helicopter stay in the air, I presume they have never heard of Sir Issac Newton
Hey Rob it was good to catch up with you and the other ex green guys after all those years!!
Guys you should have come out Sunday the Wx was perfect the flying was awesome the crowd was huge was a very very good event!!!! Hats off to the organisers.

Single-brand car dealers struggle
This wasn't how it was supposed to end for a third-generation, family-owned business that grew up alongside its hometown and sold brands that were once powerful symbols of American prosperity.
"We sat down and said, 'We can't go on,' " said Sue Sorensen, general manager and one of the family owners of E.J. Salentine Buick in Muskego, which closed on Tuesday. "We just couldn't do it anymore. We put everything in we could until it was gone." »Read Full Article(43)

Lou Reed dies at 71, was lead singer of Velvet Underground
New York — Lou Reed, the great punk poet of rock 'n' roll who profoundly influenced generations of musicians as leader of the Velvet Underground and remained a vital solo performer for decades after, died Sunday. He was 71.
Reed died in Southampton, N.Y., of an ailment related to his recent liver transplant, according to his literary agent, Andrew Wylie, who added that Reed had been in frail health for months. Reed shared a home in Southampton with his wife and fellow musician, Laurie Anderson, whom he married in 2008. »Read Full Article(20)
Bel Canto Chorus, MSO join for night of sacred music

Chris Tomlin shows his passion for Christian music
Chris Tomlin did the old "how many first timers? how many veterans?" audience poll at the start of his Milwaukee Theatre show Saturday night. Not surprisingly, the majority of cheers in the largely full theater were from the newbies. Tomlin's "Burning Lights," released in January, was just the fourth contemporary Christian music album ever to top the Billboard charts.
What's interesting is that, unlike fellow chart-topping Christian artist TobyMac, Tomlin went No. 1 while being far more explicit about God. Saturday's concert was even halted for a 40-minute sermon by Tomlin's pastor (and the head of his record label) Louie Giglio. »Read Full Article(4)

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called on the Security Council Wednesday to overcome its paralysis and take "meaningful" action to stop the bloodshed in Syria where nearly 70,000 people have died.
"It is essential for the Security Council to overcome the deadlock and find the unity that will make meaningful action possible," he said at the Organization of American States here.
Ban said that while the 15-member Council remains paralyzed and Syria politically polarized, the deaths and human rights violations are mounting.
"It's long past time we resolved this conflict," he said, adding that the international community must keep pushing for a political solution despite the difficulties.
UN human rights chief Navi Pillay said Tuesday that almost 70,000 people have died in the conflict, which is now nearly two years old.
Russia and China have vetoed three western-drafted resolutions which would simply have threatened sanctions.

Father Gary Meier, a priest of the Archdiocese of St. Louis, has opened up about being a celibate, gay Catholic priest as well as the author behind the anonymous book titled "Hidden Voices: Reflections of a Gay, Catholic Priest" originally published in 2011, soon to be re-released under his name.
According to a U.S. Catholic article, Meier decided to mark his 15-year anniversary as a priest by revealing his name in connection with his book because he "is tired of the treatment of Catholics who experience same-sex attraction by their own church."

Welcome to the discussion page for our reading of The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao. Scroll down to find out more about the editors you'll be hearing from, and watch our video discussions, read blogs, and discuss the book with other readers.
Andrew Losowsky, Books Editor. I'm British, so anything you think I've spelled wrong, is actually just spelled older. I look for stories to take my brain into new spaces, and I'll be particularly discussing the facts as we think we know them, and the clues I think we're being given by the story. I'll be choosing a few facts to use as jumping-off points for discussions.
Zoë Triska, Associate Books Editor. I was a Literature major so I can't help analyzing every single thing (from the syntax and language to metaphors, similes, you name it). I admit that I'm one of those people who Googles phrases, places, names every couple of pages when I'm reading. There are constantly things that stump me, though so I'd love to hear your thoughts on the significance of words, places, events that take place in the book.
Madeleine Crum, Assistant Books Editor. I like looking at language particularities, but in case you think that's a snooze (you wouldn't be alone), I'm also interested in reading what critics say about books and whether their reviews are spot on or way off.
Annemarie Dooling, Community Editor. Locations and descriptions speak to me the same way characters do. I love dissecting story details. If you read the same books over and over again the same way you visit an out-of-town friend, we're going to get along just fine.
Here's our reading schedule:
August 29: Pages 1-50
September 5: 51-113
September 12: 114-165
September 19: 166-210
September 26: 211-261
October 3: 262-335

The word "docent" derives from the Latin word docere meaning "to teach." Docents have been a vital link between the history and collections of American museums and historic sites for over 100 years. In the United States, the word is often used to identify trained volunteer educators in zoos, national parks, museums, and other cultural institutions.
Docents are volunteer teachers and museum ambassadors and are the faces of the museums for groups that visit each day. By sharing what they know about a cultural institution and its history, docents help visitors get the most out of the time they spend at an institution. Docent training at the DuSable Museum of African American History is an intensive program designed to provide volunteer educators with the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience to lead interpretive tours at the museum.
The Docent Training Course is a collaboration between the DuSable Museum of African American History (DSM) and the South Side Community Art Center (SSCAC). It is an interdisciplinary course that provides students with an intellectual foundation for understanding and critically assessing the history and experiences of persons of African descent in America and across the African Diaspora. The course was designed for adults who are interested in African American history, art, and culture, especially as it pertains to the permanent and traveling exhibits and collections of the DSM and SSCAC.
Memberships and Professional Development
On the national level, once the docent trainees have completed the required course and received their certificates of completion, they automatically become eligible for membership in the American Association of Museum Volunteers (AAMV), the only national association representing over 1,000,000 volunteers in all categories of museums and cultural institutions. There are also opportunities to network with local docent groups for professional development.
Docents are expected to commit to volunteering for at least two years after completion of training.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted once again that Cesc Fabregas is not for sale after reports appeared in recently of a secret meeting with Barcelona officials to discuss a possible move.
Wenger also hit out at the Spanish top flight, claiming that it was a weak league with only two worthwhile teams in it, with the world's top talent preferring to play in England.
For that reason alone, he asserted, Fabregas leaving would be absurd for the player from a sporting perspective.
"Of course there is a lot of talk but there is no official meeting about Cesc Fabregas," the Frenchman told reporters at his Friday press conference.
"Personally I don't know about that so I do not want to comment on that. I think that they must call us about the players who are here under contract who are in demand, so there is no secret meeting because we do not want to sell our players."
"Anyway, I can't see anyone who has a competitive edge wanting to go to Spain."
"They have two good teams, I'll admit that. But the number three is 27 points behind."
"This weekend the players go on strike because they are not paid."
"It is a league that is in complete disarray."
Wenger also cannot understand why any player who is truly competitive would want to play in Spain, and insists that he is inundated with requests from Spanish players wanting to come to the Emirates.
