Now, that coalition, The Turner Family Support Task Force, has sent out an update calling for ongoing spiritual and fiscal support. "Please send your … [Read more...]

Did The Village Voice's Halloran Piece Cross the Line?
Steven Thrasher at The Village Voice clearly isn't a fan of Republican New York City Councilman Dan Halloran. Thrasher first did a critical piece on Halloran and his Heathen faith for the Village Voice back in October of 2009 that I dinged him on for inappropriately (in my opinion) sensationalizing the candidate's beliefs. "All-in-all it's a well-executed and well-researched story (he even links to my blog), but there is one troubling element, which is Thrasher's decision to interweave controversies about racist/racialist forms of Heathen religion into the narrative. The article at several points discusses the problem of racist Heathens/Odinists in prisons, mentions a violent racist killer, … [Read more...]

Announcements for 2009
NIAMS Partners With CBS Cares and the Producers of HAIR on Osteoporosis Prevention Initiative
October 11, 2009 (historical)
Joan A. McGowan, Ph.D.
Forty years ago very little was known about osteoporosis, a disease that makes bones weak and prone to fracture. Back then, osteoporosis was considered to be just a normal consequence of aging, and was viewed solely as a "woman's disease." Few risk factors for the disease had been identified, and a limited number of options were available to diagnose and treat it.
But things are different today. We now know that osteoporosis is largely preventable and that strong bones are critical to our overall health and quality of life.
With appropriate nutrition and physical activity throughout life, individuals can significantly reduce their risk of osteoporosis. Specifically, a well-balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, weight-bearing activity, and a healthy lifestyle, can help keep bones strong. In addition, several treatments are now available that can reduce the likelihood of fracture in people at risk.
Over the past several decades, scientists have learned a significant amount about osteoporosis and bone health. Research supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has greatly expanded our understanding of bone cell physiology, drug development, and risk factors for the disease. Nutrition and physical activity studies provide strong evidence that fractures can be prevented and bone loss reduced, even in older individuals. And we know now how preventing falls through exercise and simple home precautions can have a major impact on fracture prevention, even in those with frail bones.
Osteoporosis and related fractures have long been considered only to be a problem for older White women. This common misperception, shared by both the public and the medical profession alike, has undoubtedly delayed prevention and treatment in men and minorities who are not thought to be at risk for the disease. But we are learning more every day. NIH researchers are investigating factors leading to osteoporosis and fracture in minority women and men that will ultimately help target prevention strategies in these individuals.
Osteoporosis is often called a "pediatric disease with geriatric consequences." We know now that the bone mass attained in childhood and adolescence is an important determinant of lifelong skeletal health. The health habits our children are forming now can make, or literally break, their bones as they age. NIH scientists are identifying strategies that are yielding long-term skeletal benefits in our nation's children.
In the 1960s, the first-ever Surgeon General's report was released. Forty years later, the Surgeon General issued the first-ever report on our nation's bone health. In it, Vice Admiral Richard H. Carmona, M.D., M.P.H, F.A.C.S., warned that by 2020, half of all American citizens older than 50 will be at risk for fractures from osteoporosis and low bone mass if no immediate action is taken. As the Senior Scientific Editor of the Surgeon General's report, I will never tire of raising awareness about osteoporosis and related bone diseases.
I encourage you to become an active participant in your bone health. Please visit our Web site to learn more about osteoporosis and how to prevent and treat it. And remember, "You are never too old or too young to improve your bone health."

COPENHAGEN, May 5 (Reuters) - Denmark denied on Thursday that it had officially recognised Libya's Transitional National Council (TNC) of rebels, but said it did recognise the organisation as a relevant partner for dialogue.
Earlier on Thursday a Libyan rebel spokesman said that Denmark, Spain and the Netherlands had joined Italy and France in recognising the TNC rebels fighting to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi.
"We have not taken steps to formally recognise the TNC," Danish foreign ministry spokesman Jean Ellermann Kingombe said. "There is a willingness to engage (with the TNC) but no formal recognition."
Denmark considers the TNC "a relevant partner for dialogue" and has appointed an envoy to explore the potential for conducting relations with the Benghazi-based rebels, Ellermann Kingombe said. (Reporting by John Acher; editing by David Stamp)

ccme, call-forward with sip
im running callmanager express 4.1 with sip trunk to ITSP.
now the provider complaint that i was calling out with numbers that where not mine, and that screw up his billing on me so hi threaten to shut my account down... I discovered that it did so when i call-forward to an external number like my cellphone, it uses the callers nr and make a call with that to my cell. I solved this by making a tranlation rule that makes all outgoing numbers transate to one of mine numbers.
and now i wonder if this can be made in a other better way, without the translation rule?
Grateful for any help!
Translation-rule is the proper way. And your ITSP should learn something from traditional telcos. If you call with the correct or wrong number, be sure you are billed anyway :)

Contrary to the general practice of all jewellery stores, Subh outlets will not charge any additional charges like wastage, making charge, value addition charge, etc. REL will sell 22 carat gold jewellery and coins with Hallmark of 100 per cent guaranteed purity.
For example, if a customer buys 10 gms of gold at a price of Rs 1,600 per gm, he actually pays 15 per cent 20 per cent more than the Rs 16,000 jewellery due to various hidden charges. But Subh will charge only 3 per cent or Rs 48 more per gram towards its various costs.
In next 3 years REL plans to open 250 Subh showrooms in various cities in the country, a ten fold jump from 25 at present. This will help the company increase its presence in jewellery retail space which now accounts only for 2 per cent of its revenue. Going by these developments REL is a definitely a stock to watch, in the coming days.

I can't begin to say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. The food was beyond fabulous. I had the lobster and crab...the appetizer was the an apple, caramel, cheese something, the Ceasar salad was one of the best ever, the asparagus soup, and the raspberry souffle..all to die for. Our waiter was definitely an added plus - he was professional yet fun. He was thoughtful enough to consider the black dresses of the ladies at the table and brought us black napkins so that the white ones wouldn't leave white lint all over our dresses. This restaurant is definitely pricey, but soooo worth it - especially if you're looking for a "Special Occasion" place.

1 THE USE AND SECURITY OF DATA IN THE HIGHER EDUCATION ENVIRONMENT Jacobson-Schulte, Patrick College of Saint Benedict / Saint John's University Schmidt, Mark B. St. Cloud State University Yoshimoto, Gary St. Cloud State University ABSTRACT In a world that is increasingly global and technologically driven, institutions of higher education are faced with levels of customer scarcity that were not present 20 years ago. In an effort to remain highly competitive, higher education institutions need to make strategic decisions in a timely and efficient manner. The strategic use of data in the decision making process allows institutions to remain competitive in areas of enrollment and planning, as well as finance and administration. All the efforts to obtain competitive advantage may be in vein if the university faces major legal ramifications or suffers other consequences due to security breaches. This manuscript outlines the importance of data collection, as well as knowledge management and knowledge management systems. Next, data utilization for higher education institutions in areas of enrollment, financial aid, and strategic financial planning are addressed. Finally, security and analyzing the safe storage and retrieval of vital data, are considered. INTRODUCTION: Higher education institutions face the same decision making cycles that face corporate America. Higher education is often thought to conduct business functions far differently than non-educational entities, due to factors such as the client base, employment factors such as tenure, and their missions. The underlying truth is that higher education faces the same decision making conundrums that other
2 multimillion dollar businesses face. It is easy to get lost in the shuffle of higher education and focus on the curriculum and mission of each independent institution. Unfortunately, these institutions are subject to the same competitive factors that plague the world economy. Attracting students is a key factor to the success of any higher educational institution. Many of the institutions fill their class quotas on a yearly basis, but this result is not achieved by accident. Many of the world s higher educational institutions use data to drive their success. Analyzing enrollment, student composition, financial aid offerings, and room and board are only a few ways these corporate institutions look at the future. In order to be as strategic as possible, higher educational institutions utilize a variety of decision support tools to aid in strategic planning. Colleges Board of Directors are charged with upholding institutional missions, while enhancing the college or university in a competitive industry. Because many of these boards are composed of individuals who function outside higher education, they need to be given information that quickly allows them to assess the situation and come up with logical and informed decisions. This type of data driven information would not be possible without the use of decision support systems. Well informed decision making is critical to the success of colleges and universities that have outside board designation. If the college or university is not data driven, then the board will lean heavily on the President and his/her cabinet for direction. If the cabinets do not have the data required to make educated decisions, then decisions would be made without the appropriate analysis, which could lead to disaster (Palmer 2008). College and universities are not only collecting vital data to aid in their decision making process, but they are also utilizing the data to help potential students (clients) make decisions about their institutions. Data is being leveraged by both internal and external constituent groups about a particular entity. An example of this is the U.S. News and World Report ranking of College and Universities. This document utilizes key data from institutions to rank them in order to aid student (client) decision making when assessing potential schools. Many individuals utilize this data to help make their decisions quickly on the basis of a few key factors. In the past as individuals spent the time visiting college and university campuses to truly get a better understanding of what the institution had to offer (U.S. News 2008). DATA COLLECTION: The data collected in higher education institutions is often funneled through the area of institutional research and planning. Although this functional area can differ across institutions, a specific description is presented. Institutional Research and Planning is responsible for the development and maintenance of data resources to support the strategic planning and policy-making processes (Georgia Tech, 2008). For many institutions, the flow of accurate, timely information assists all levels of management in defining issues, obtaining information, and interpreting results. Data collected includes admission and new entering student data, undergraduate student data, academic and instructional data, alumnae and alumni data, financial and human resource data, and peer comparison data. In most cases, information is presented for multiple years, typically in five- or ten-year increments (McGee, 2008). To help achieve competitive advantage, many institutions utilize their data resources to make informed decisions. The data collected aids in the development of student curriculum, budgetary oversight, and annual giving. By leveraging the information provided, institutions can use a decision support tool to develop what-if scenarios to find out the optimal position. This can lead to enhancements on all levels of the institution. Many colleges and universities are dependent on their net financial revenue, outside of endowment, and need to be strategic in the allocation of funds to receive the best return on investment. Executives would not be able implement or develop funding strategies without the use of computer aided analysis (Mustafa, Goh Omega, 1996).
3 In years past, colleges and universities were faced with potential budget cutbacks due to a lack of student demand (Paulsen 2006 p. 2). Faced with the prospect of reduced enrollment, budget deficit, retrenchment, and institutional closings, many administrators paid more attention to enrollment maintenance, became more responsive to market interests and more aware of the increasingly competitive nature of student recruitment, and began to engage in market-oriented activities intended to attract students (Paulsen 2006 p.4). In the area of enrollment, colleges and universities want to plan and forecast their enrollment more effectively, and they want to influence the college-going decision making process of desired students (Paulsen 2006 p.4). By analyzing their potential pool of clients, they can make informed decisions on who to admit and who to turn away. An institution should expend the necessary effort to attract the students who best fit the institution (Paulsen 2006). Understanding the enrollment effects of such characteristics can help enrollment managers tailor and target their college s marketing mix of programs, price, and places to those students possessing characteristics similar to those who most often matriculate at their college (Paulsen 2006 p.4). Many institutions are tuition driven. If such an institution falls short of its budgeted class size, it would face real-time budget reallocations that could have compounding negative implications. Utilizing the information provided in the area of enrollment and planning helps us to avoid this budget shortfalls and reallocation of funds (McGee, 2008). Financial allocation is a difficult task that requires a vast amount of information and numerous individuals to make strategic decisions. Resource scarcity and efficiency are at the forefront of college and university budget discussions (Palmer, 2008). Gone are the days where accountants made closed door decisions and budgets were set without strategic thought and comment from all vested parties (Palmer, 2008). Information flow is vital to key budget development and resource allocation (Fandel, 2001). Data collection at the college and university level extends beyond the institutional research office. Data is being collected in all areas to aid in the development of strategic decisions. College and university business offices are no exception. Data collection on student financial patterns, as well as departmental spending patterns allows institutions to assess their budgetary constraints (Braunstein et al. 1999). UTILIZING DATA DRIVEN DECISIONS In addition to the prediction of enrollment cohorts, colleges and universities need to utilize decision support systems to aid them in the development of their pricing position. Admission tutors are in charge of a product whose market has to be understood; product price has to be set at the correct level; they need to know who their competitors are, how successful these competitors are, and what policies and pricing strategies are being followed by these competitors (Molinero, Qing, 1990, p. 222). Because numerous variables influence the pricing position on a yearly basis, key individuals need to be able to take these variables into consideration when developing a pricing strategy. Failure to utilize key variables appropriately could cause an institution to be priced outside of their competitive market position, which could have severe financial implications. By utilizing decision support tools to control key variables, colleges and universities can make highly educated estimations based on past and present knowledge (Bontrager, 2004). Higher education institutions are faced with a number of variable components that factor into their decision making process on a yearly basis. Due to the fact that institutions do not know with any certainty how many students they will be able to enroll in the next year, they need to utilize the tools and data available to assist them in estimating their future position (Bontrager, 2004). In the process of student selection, it is not only important to know the targeted number of students each institution wants to attract, but to analyze the type of student they would like to attract. Both of these key enrollment variables can be obtained through the use of decision support tools. By utilizing predictive modeling, institutions
4 can leverage future positions on past year s actual data. This can allow institutions to get a sound estimate of what the future may hold for them. Institutions can use characteristics of students who have chosen an institution in the past to predict which prospective students will enroll in the future (Bontrager, 2004, p. 11). The admissions process has become much more fluid and unpredictable due to the sophistication of applicants who are likely to research and apply to multiple institutions over varying time periods (Maltz, Murphy, Hand, 2007, p. 111). After an institution knows its enrollment target and pricing position, it can begin to construct its financial aid position. Through the use of decisions support strategies, enrollment and financial aid managers are able to input applicant student data into their support tool to assess the discount package that would apply to each student. Financial aid packages are awarded in various amounts on a per student basis. If we enroll 2000 students, we will have 2000 different prices (McGee, 2008). Utilizing a matrix of past and present student financial data allows enrollment and financial aid managers to make allocation decisions based on the dollars available for distribution (Gaither, Dukes, Swanson, 1981; Maltz, Murphy, Hand, 2007; Pope, Evans, 1985). Higher education institutions are faced with resource scarcity on a yearly basis. The process of resource allocation is fundamental to their strategic function. Many colleges and universities are caught in a cycle of adding new initiatives, but they never really assess what they should not be doing (Palmer, 2008). Through the utilization of decision support systems, many colleges and university are relying on technology to help them sort through their resource allocations. By bringing data together, institutions can assess the return on investment of each key component and assess the future allocation based on their return on investment (Kwak, Lee, 1997). Decision support tools also allow college and university business offices to apply a weighted average structure that aids in the distribution of additional funds. If a college or university has increased enrollment, they will find themselves with additional net tuition revenue. By utilizing a decision support tool, Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) can quickly assess the best use of those resources to accomplish strategic goals. Without the use of a decision support tool, many CFOs would not know the most cost effective use of those additional resources and may apply them elsewhere. Improper allocation of funds could cause future resource constraints as costs compound in future years (Fandel, Gal, 1999). Financial resource allocation is a fundamental factor in the success of any college or university. Through the use of decision support tools, college and university business offices are able to develop highly informed decisions that influence the strategic position of all parties involved. KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AND DATA SECURITY Both corporations and educational institutions alike are increasingly reliant on computer based information systems in order to increase efficiency and effectiveness. Paradoxically, this increased use of and reliance on information systems has lead to increased incidents of computer abuse (see Dhillon & Backhouse, 2000). As evidence of this computer abuse, the most recent CSI/FBI report, which was based on feedback from 522 computer security practitioners, and represents a diverse slice of corporate America, found that 43% of the respondents reported some form of malicious attack within the past year. This figure is down from 46% the previous year (Richardson, 2008).
5 Yet another metric that attempts to enumerate the number of attacks comes from idefense. They report monitoring more than 27,000 attacks last year, of which more than half were designed to covertly steal information or take over computers (Brenner, 2005). Unfortunely, the under reporting of computer attacks is prevalent for many reasons, and most of these reasons center on a desire to avoid negative press. Given the corporate world s propensity to under report, other efforts and strategies are needed to examine threats and continue to raise awareness of these threats. However, much effort is being made at both the state and federal level to develop notification laws which require people to be informed when their personal information is compromised. Due to today s reliance on computer networks and the Internet, more attention is being given to security issues that affect computer networks and the Internet. This coverage can be observed both in the popular press as well as academic literature. Many journals include security articles or have special issues devoted to security and malware. As an example, the August 2005, Communications of the ACM was devoted to spyware (Stafford, 2005). As technology advances, the collection of data is becoming easier for all institutions. Colleges and universities are faced with threats to data both internally and externally. As a result, The ability to manage data securely is a very important topic of discussion. According to Securing Data 101 featured in the January/February issue of The Information Management Journal, In August 2007, a flash drive containing more than 7,000 student names, Social Security numbers and dates of attendance was stolen from a desk at a College of Applied Science (Securing Data 101, 2008). College and University data security has become a target for many information thieves. According to Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, U.S. universities suffered more than 50 of the 300-plus data braches that occurred in 2006 (ID Thieves Targeting Universities, 2007, p. 7). Because colleges and universities host enormous amounts of student driven data, as well as alumni data, they have become increasingly attractive to information thieves. Data breaches at this level are of particular concern as the university data typically includes personal and highly sensitive data such as social security numbers. As a result of these increased threats, managers and academics have recently become more aware of the need for better management of organizational knowledge (Alvari and Leidner, 2001, p.107). Organizations should regard data as their greatest asset and invest in data management accordingly (Swartz, 2007, p. 28). Data management is a vital task that every business needs to take seriously as the threat to information is increasing. Further, due to new notification laws, universities may face an unprecedented level of bad press should a breach occur. Alvari and Leidner also emphasize that there are three general conclusions to knowledge management. There is no single approach to the development of knowledge management systems, knowledge management is a dynamic, continuous organizational phenomenon of interdependent processes, and information technology can be used to extend knowledge management beyond storage and retrieval (Alvari, Leidner, 2001, p.107). In the process of developing a data management system, it is important for institutions to understand what they desire from their system. Retrieval of data is easy, but retrieval of information is a more difficult task. Additionally, there needs to be a appropriate level of security in order to safeguard the data. Institutions need to have involvement in the development process from all parties involved (Hartono, Santhanam, Holsapple, 2006). User participation in the development and deployment of a management support system not only helps shape the system to address users needs and desires, it also fosters a buy in by those in the organization who will be using the system (Hartono, Santhanam, Holsapple, 2006, p. 262). When analyzing information threats, there are a number of critical threats to institutional data. Risks can vary from human errors, system failures or natural disaster. The most common source of threat to
6 records is people (Lee, Chung, 2008, p. 39). As Lee and Chung point out in Building a Framework to Measure and Minimize Information Risks, human error is a high risk factor in the management and security of data. Institutions need to be aware of all threat factors when developing and implementing a data management system (Lee, Chung, 2008). The process of data management is one that can be time consuming and expensive. Institutions need to be prepared to address all fiscal factors that extend beyond the development of a management system (Bodin, Gordon, Loeb, 2008). Managing the risk associated with potential breaches is an integral part of resource-allocation decisions associated with information security activities (Bodin, Gordon, Loeb, 2008, p. 64). Given the paramount nature of security concerns in many industries and organizations, there is a need to increase understanding of security concerns (Goodhue and Straub, 1989: Whitman, 2003). Institutions need to be prepared to analyze their information management system and develop the necessary assessments of data risk to be able to combat possible infiltration (Lee, Chung, 2008). In Information Security and Risk Management, Boden stated, Anyone responsible for information security must be able to manage risk. Information technology managers need to analyze the process of assessing information security (Bodin, Gordon, Loeb, 2008). In order to fully understand area threats institutions can apply a weighting factor that would allow them to determine the threat of data security (Bodin, Gordon, Loeb, 2008). Based on this measure, the larger the expected loss, the larger would be the risk associated with a breach of information (Bodin, Gordon, Loeb, 2008, p. 64). If institutions fail to take these precautions, they place their institution s vital information at risk. Developing appropriate data risk assessment will allow institutions to learn how to prevent data loss (Lee, Chung, 2008) (Yue, Çakanyıldırım, Ryu, Young, Liu, 2007). With advancements in technology, many institutions are moving in the direction of wireless connectivity for ease and convenience. According to Alfred Loo in The Myths and Truths of Wireless Security, when it comes to wireless, many users believe that their doors are at least locked, the truth of wireless communication is the doors are not even closed, they are actually wide open (Loo, 2008, p. 68). As institutions transfer information via a wireless connection, they are putting the institution at risk. A demand for efficient flow of data has lead to many new establishments in technology, but the processes utilized open the door for information security threats (Loo, 2008). It is up to the institutions to educate their employees on responsible use of information. Education in the areas of risk and risk management, as well as the security features available at their institution to prevent numerous threats in vital in data security (Loo, 2008). Wireless access points create a point of differentiation for customers in industries such as hospitality and service (Schmidt, Johnston, & Arnett, 2004). Further, the presence of wireless access points can create a competitive environment if they are deployed by certain competitors in an industry. For instance, if a particular university in a given market offers wireless access while other universities in that same market do not, the university that has wireless may advertise their relative level of connectivity and capitalize on the fact that they are a wired or a connected but wireless campus. Wireless networks are in many cases, complementary to existing wired networks. As the level of connectivity is often a factor in the best colleges and universities polls, those campuses offering wireless access may have a competitive advantage over those that do not. For instance, the University of Notre Dame asserts they have earned the distinction of making the America s 100 Most Wired Colleges list for the last three years (University of Notre Dame, 2005). Many colleges are now considering wireless networks to not only provide a point of differentiation but also to reduce the overall costs of providing campus wide connectivity. In doing so, the universities need to put the security of their data at the forefront of their efforts.
7 CONCLUSION: With advancements in technology, data collection and storage capacity have increased significantly. Because institutions want to remain competitive and maintain any competitive advantage they may obtain, colleges and universities collect more data than maybe required on their customers (students). Since colleges and universities obtain this highly sensitive information database, they need to employ appropriate information management techniques to make certain that the data that they retain will remain secure regardless where the data is stored and weather the data is transmitted via a wired or wireless network. Resource allocation will play a key role in keeping the retained data safe. Advancements in information technology demand colleges and universities to stay at the cutting edge of development. If a college or university does not heed these guidelines, it puts its data and its institution at risk. The utilization of the data collected allows many of the strategic management areas of colleges and universities to make educated decisions based on a historical perspective. Utilizing decision supports systems in the area of enrollment, financial aid, and finance gives colleges and universities the ability to make key strategic decisions in a timely manner with ease and sophistication. The development of such tools can be time and resource consuming, but the results of such developments give colleges and universities a very positive return on their investment. Making strategic decisions by utilizing data allows higher education institutions to assess past, present, and future variables to outline its strategic position and goals. This has proven successful as we witness institutions operating in a very competitive marketplace. With resource constraints influencing the decision making bodies, higher educational institutions would not be able to accurately estimate future positions without the strategic use of decision support tools. Leveraging data to make informed decisions is essential to any modern day business practice. Higher education institutions are no exception and will continue to employ data driven decision support techniques. Based on her interview with Ian Dobson, Security Director of the Open Group Consortium, Dudman (2004) found one of the most prevalent challenges for IT directors is the rate of business change which then leads to IT infrastructure change. In some cases, the change is so frantic that it is out of control (Dudman, 2004, p. 3). Dobson adds that wireless networks are a major source of the security problems, people are blasting holes in the firewall to let in legitimate traffic without realizing their potential vulnerability (Dudman, 2004, p. 3). Schmidt & Arnett (2005) found that students perceived their contemporaries were less informed about and less prepared to deal with various security issues. Other research finds that users often have an optimistic cognitive bias when comparing their level of vulnerability to security threats to others vulnerability to the same threats (Rhee, Ryn, & Kim, 2005). Similar to the aforementioned findings, it is possible that universities will view themselves as more prepared than they view their competitors. The sense of hubris can lead to increased vulnerability and should be avoided at all costs.

|cocoon-javaflow in cocoon 2.2
|Thu, 10 Aug 2006 21:25:27 GMT
Hi everybody, me and Simone spent few days trying to obtain a working javaflow again in cocoon 2.2, and to understand how it works deeply; we would like to report our achievements and problems. We started trying to obtain a complete system (reloading, runtime instrumentation etc..). But then scaled down step by step and arrived to the problem which is stopping us right now. We are working with the flow class instrumented statically, as well as AbstractContinuable, FormInstance and the Invoker. The form shows up correctly, but when we submit the form, ClassCastException : Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.cocoon.samples.flow.java.SimpleFlow at org.apache.cocoon.components.flow.java.Invoker.run(Invoker.java) at org.apache.commons.javaflow.bytecode.StackRecorder.execute(StackRecorder.java:95) at org.apache.commons.javaflow.Continuation.continueWith(Continuation.java:170) at org.apache.cocoon.components.flow.java.JavaInterpreter.handleContinuation(JavaInterpreter.java:182) at org.apache.cocoon.components.treeprocessor.sitemap.CallFunctionNode.invoke(CallFunctionNode.java:98) When the form is rendered, the JavaInterprer instanciates an Invoker to pass to the Continuation object; the Invoker is responsible to call the Javaflow method that has been passed by the JavaInterpreter, using reflection. Since the class must be enhanced, also the method.invoke instruction should be, but it seems that the BcelClassTransformer doesn't parse this case (In this part we has serious difficulties to understand the code because we're not to deep into the JVM bytecode specs and stuff like that). In fact, if we replace the "method.invoke(o)" with "o.method()" (no reflection involved) it works correctly. IIUC the core of the instrumentation is done into the rewrite method, that parses the bytecode operations and decides what to do; adding a block that identifies the invoke operation and adds a method call would work; we tried unluckily to implement it, maybe someone could help us to understand how to do it. As I said, we arrived to this error by scaling down our target, our first test was to enhance a simple Java class, out of cocoon environment, using the FilesystemAlterationMonitor, that monitors a certain folder (in this case the folder containing the class file of the Javaflow) and enhance it, if it has been changed. We found a ClassFormatException ( java.lang.ClassFormatError: Incompatible magic value -272646673 in class file jci/Simple ) trying to read the original bytecode of the class; debugging the code we discovered that the ReloadingListener is using a FileReader to read the bytecode of the class; the FileReader parses the byte stream depending on a certain char encoding. so the bytecode is not recognized by the classloader. Using a FileInputStream it works (ReloadingClassLoaderTestCase confirms; with the original FileReader implementation it fails). Then we tried to integrate the FilesystemAlterationMonitor with the cocoon classloader configuration, in order to automatically reload and enhance the Javaflows when changed, but we faced with some problems. - The FilesystemAlterationMonitor always notifies the changes of those classes that are enhanced; the check is based on file.getLastModified() value, but every time the value is lower then the last one, so the change notification is triggered. We didn't investigate more. - The FileResourceStore fails trying to get the file by the filesystem: private File getFile(final String pResourceName) { final String fileName = pResourceName.replace('/',File.separatorChar); return new File(root, fileName); } where pResourceName = "org.apache.cocoon.samples.flow.java.SimpleFlow"; changing the return statement to : return new File(root, fileName.replace('.',File.separatorChar).concat(".class")); it seems to work correctly. Before send some patches we'd like to know if we're investigating in the right direction or not. We can also provide our temporary changes to the javaflow poms in order to enhance the JavaInterpreter and the javaflow classes at build time, using the RewriteAntTask provided by commons-javaflow and some fix to the cocoon-javaflow-sample block. Regards, Maurizio and Simone

Econometrics of Individual Labor Market Transitions
This survey is devoted to the modelling and the estimation of reduced-form transition models, which have been extensively used and estimated in labor microeconometrics. The first section contains a general presentation of the statistical modelling of such processes using continuous-time (event-history) data. It also presents parametric and nonparametric estimation procedures, and focuses on the treatment of unobserved heterogeneity. The second section deals with the estimation of markovian processes using discrete-time panel observations. Here the main question is whether the discrete-time panel observation of a transition process is generated by a continuous-time homogeneous Markov process. After discussing this problem, we present maximum-likelihood and bayesian procedures for estimating the transition intensity matrix governing the process evolution. Particular attention is paid to the estimation of the continuous-time mover-stayer model, which is the more elementary model of mixed Markov chains.

During the cold snap – check on your neighbours
If it snows – check on your neighbours https://t.co/gPeODzgTO2 #localgov #brum pic.twitter.com/LoWpElqPg3
— Birmingham Newsroom (@BCCNewsRoom) January 8, 2016
With temperatures dropping and a forecast for potential snow early next week, Birmingham health boss Cllr Paulette Hamilton has urged Brummies to keep an eye on elderly and vulnerable neighbours.
The first snows of winter are anticipated for Monday/Tuesday, with a forecast for overnight sub-zero temperatures through to the end of the week.
And that has prompted Cllr Hamilton's request that people check on older neighbours or relatives to make sure they're safe and well.
She said: "We're not expecting a big freeze or anything like that but we know the colder weather can be bad news for older people – not just in terms of heating and eating but also in terms of isolation.
"So I'd like to ask people to check up on older neighbours and relatives, Give them a call or pop in for a cup of tea. Make sure they're OK and have everything they need. It might only be five minutes out of your day but it could make a massive difference to someone who can't get out in the colder weather."

Mission Possible: How to Thrive As a Working Mother of Young Children
The statistics for women are alarming and indicate that our measurement of success needs to change. As I continued reading [Thrive, by Arianna Huffington] while nursing my twins and watching my toddler, I thought about whether someone like me could find the time to actually thrive now, not just when my kids are in school full-time. I'm a working mother with my own career coaching business and three boys under the age of 4 at home. The idea of focusing on my well-being, let alone sitting down for more than 30 seconds, initially felt impossible. I wanted everything at home to be under control while also stopping at almost nothing to delight my clients with white glove service. However, I've learned this mindset is hurting, not helping, me.
The only way for me to thrive today — when my toddler feels the need to continuously test my limits — is to redefine how I view success. Generally we reflect and reconsider aspirations on the cusp of a big change such as a major move, death or birth. I have experienced all three in the last several months and have learned that life is fluid, and if you live it rigidly, you will drive yourself into the ground. The key to thriving with a toddler and twins is to prioritize how I want to measure success.
Here are four takeaways I've realized are crucial for thriving, especially for new moms who feel as though they have too much on their plates. It takes some maneuvering but it is possible to live a third metric life.
