text: Deus Ex: Human Revolution Is This Generation's CrysisSteven Walton8/30/11 10:00amFiled to: TechspotDeus ExDeus ex: human revolutionPCTopRepublished3581EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkFor those unfamiliar with the Deus Ex franchise, it goes back to the year 2000 when highly hyped developer Ion Storm went on to develop a System Shock-inspired action game that combined gameplay elements of first-person shooters and role-playing games.AdvertisementDeus Ex received immediate notoriety and was highly regarded, selling over 1 million copies worldwide. Given the game's success, the title was later ported to the PS2 and Mac OS platforms. A sequel called Deus Ex: Invisible War was released in 2003, however the second installment was criticized for being a dumbed down version of the original. Regardless of that, over 1 million copies were sold again, making it difficult to deny the franchise's success, which represented one of the few big wins for Ion Storm before the studio was shut down. After many years of waiting the third installment of the Deus Ex series has finally arrived. Deus Ex: Human Revolution, is a prequel to the original game, now developed by Eidos Montreal. Like previous titles, Human Revolution contains elements of first-person shooters and role-playing games, and to gamers' pleasure it appears the game is every bit as good as its predecessors.AdvertisementIn other good news, we could very well have a new game capable of fully utilizing the power and features of today's high-end graphics cards. Such games have become increasingly rare and with the exception of just a select few, most of the games we have run performance tests on this year have been shameful console ports that would struggle to max out a tablet PC.Games such as Duke Nukem Forever and Crysis 2 were massive letdowns, while the only game that has truly impressed us recently was The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and that particular title was exclusive to the PC. So what does Deus Ex: Human Revolution have to offer hardcore gamers? The game is said to fully implement DirectX 11 as well as other cutting edge features such FXAA, MLAA, HD3D and full support for multi-monitor AMD Eyefinity technology (up to six monitors).AdvertisementSponsoredThe DX11 support brings about tessellation, which the developer has said was mainly used to enhance character silhouettes. Other DX11 features used includes DirectCompute enhanced Depth of Field, Blurs as well as Shader and Screen-Space Ambient Occlusion.The developer also claimed to have significantly rewritten the game engine to take advantage of multi-core processors. Eidos went on record saying that a dual-core setup can provide up to a 70% increase in performance. As usual we'll be looking at how the game performs with a range of GPUs and how it deals with dual, quad and hexa-core processors.2560x1600 - Gaming PerformanceAt the extreme single display resolution of 2560x1600 Deus Ex: Human Revolution was too much to handle for a majority of single-GPU configurations. This was made evident by the Radeon HD 6970 which rendered just 49fps, while the GeForce GTX 580 managed 46fps. We still found that both were able to deliver playable performance, though there were brief moments of lag every now and then.Enabling Crossfire or SLI significantly improved performance as we saw the GeForce GTX 590 delivering 75fps and the Radeon HD 6990 scoring 79fps. The GeForce GTX 580 SLI cards took the victory with a whopping 94fps.CPU Scaling and PerformanceUsing the Windows Task Manager we can see that Deus Ex: Human Revolution heavily utilizes two cores of our Phenom II X6 1100T processor while the other four are working at around 20-40% capacity. Please ignore the 6% CPU usage indicator as it dropped down from around 50% once I hit ALT+TAB out of the game to grab that screenshot.The Resource Monitor was used keep an eye on the average CPU usage of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and here it is reporting an average of 45.5% across the six cores. This is going to cause some real issues for dual-core processors.Overclocking your Core i7 processor is not going to help deliver more performance in Deus Ex: Human Revolution with a single GeForce GTX 580 card. With the Core i7 clocked at 2.0GHz the GTX 580 averaged 73fps. Meanwhile a 90% increase in clock speed for the Core i7 allowed for just a 5% increase in frame rates. Processors that only support 2-threads do not appear fit to play Deus Ex: Human Revolution as our Phenom II X2 560 delivered just 44fps. This meant that the Phenom II X2 560 is about 43% slower than a similarly clocked Phenom II X4 processor.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe Athlon II processors are also pretty useless without their L3 cache as the quad-core Athlon II X4 645 averaged just 51fps. The new AMD A6-Series and A8-Series processors did quite well delivering 67fps and 71fps respectively.The older Core i5-750 and Core i7-920 processors performed well with 72 and 73fps a piece. The Phenom II X4 980 was surprisingly fast with an average frame rate of 79fps making it only slightly slower than the Core i5-2500K and Core i7-2600K processors.Article IndexTesting Notes & Methodology 1680x1050 - Gaming Performance 1920x1200 - Gaming Performance MLAA vs. FXAA Performance Final ThoughtsAdvertisementRepublished with permission.Steven Walton is a writer at TechSpot.

Muscat Travel Guide
Old Muscat © Andries Oudshoorn
Muscat is the capital and largest city in Oman, but tourists will find that the mundane activity of the busy modern capital is easily forgotten among the exotic delights of bustling markets, cannon-guarded forts, ornate palaces and the historic city harbour. The once important maritime city underwent a resurgence in the 1970s, when the Sultan Qaboos bin Said began to develop museums, mosques, palaces, and to restore relics of Muscat's history.
Muscat is made up of three cities grown together: the original walled city of Muscat (home to the royal palaces), the former fishing village of Matrah with its maze-like souq, and the commercial and diplomatic area of Ruwi. These areas, along with other districts further from the city centre, each have their own distinct personalities and attractions.
Although Muscat is a popular destination for sightseeing tours, many of the attractions are primarily regular fixtures of Omani life. The mosques are important religious sites, the ancient forts are still operated by the military and the sultan's palace is the seat of Oman's government. While this gives visitors an authentic experience, tourists can find playing second fiddle a little inconvenient.
The beauty of the city, especially near the harbour, is what makes Muscat so alluring. The smooth curved stone architecture is a transition from the rocky landscape to the inviting water of the harbour. Many new buildings have continued with classic Arabic architecture, further protecting the city's legacy from the ravages of the modern world. Muscat is one of the safest, most cosmpolitan and open-minded city in the entire Gulf Region, and is fast becoming a Middle East tourism hotspot.

The court dismissed the complaint against the Israeli prime minister Wednesday, ruling that Belgium no longer has a legal basis to charge him. The case charging Sharon with complicity in a 1982 massacre in a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, carried out by Lebanese Christian militias, brought ties between Israel and Belgium to a nadir.

We think motorcycles should be about getting out and enjoying the world around you. The sun, the smells, the wind, the weather. More reality and less virtual. And you know what's even better? If you could find one bike that could do it all. Let you go exploring in the dirt. Zip along mountain roads. Commute to work every day. And even save you some money at the gas pump. Well, guess what—the CRF250L and new CRF250L Rally are going to be the perfect bikes for all those things.
First, the CRF250L: We've given it some great new updates for 2017. Some highlights: A larger throttle body improves the feel of the bike's low- and mid-range power, as does the new muffler design, revised airbox, and larger diameter exhaust header. And check out its new graphic treatment, matched up to our CRF450R MX bike. The all-new CRF250L Rally gets the same updated engine as the standard 250L, but it also gets a larger fuel tank, totally new Dakar-style bodywork, handguards, a windscreen, skid plate and even more suspension travel. And both give you a great upright seating position that's comfortable for longer rides, ideal for both urban traffic or out on the trail. They're even available with optional ABS.

VNUS procedure - again?01/08/2010 |
I had the VNUS procedure done a few years ago. My legs are in worse shape today. Why? What should I do next? Legs are painful 24/7.
Valves can get weak in other veins over the years. I would make an appointment to see the physician who did the VNUS. Good luck!

Women and Cancer Screenings
Posted By News On @ 6:24 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
A recent poll was taken to investigate on why women with insurance skip cancer screenings. Chuck Reed from the American Cancer Society says focus groups were held recently to learn why women have been skipping their screenings. He says The American Cancer Society is trying to inform women of the importance of the screenings.
Lynn Fisher with Washington County Public Health says if someone comes to their office with questions about cancer, they will refer them to the American Cancer Society. The information gathered in the focus groups will be used to come up with an action plan to increase screening rates.

Obesity, SES, and economic development: A test of the reversal hypothesis
Studies of individual countries suggest that socioeconomic status (SES) and weight are positively associated in lower-income countries but negatively associated in higher-income countries. However, this reversal in the direction of the SES-weight relationship and arguments about the underlying causes of the reversal need to be tested with comparable data for a large and diverse set of nations. This study systematically tests the reversal hypothesis using individual- and aggregate-level data for 67 nations representing all regions of the world. In support of the hypothesis, we find not only that the body mass index, being overweight, and being obese rise with national product but also that the associations of SES with these outcomes shift from positive to negative. These findings fit arguments about how health-related, SES-based resources, costs, and values differ across levels of economic development. Although economic and social development can improve health, it can also lead to increasing obesity and widening SES disparities in obesity.

Franklin Mills is a popular shopping and tourism destination, but out-of-towners Anthony DeRosa and Eric Boehm had other plans when they visited the sprawling mega-mall last Thursday, authorities say.
DeRosa, of Wilkes-Barre, and Boehm, of Goshen, N.Y., allegedly wanted to sell 20 pounds of high-grade marijuana. Problem was, their anticipated buyers were actually undercover agents from the Philadelphia District Attorney's Dangerous Drug Offenders Unit.
The agents arrested DeRosa, 39, and Boehm, 47, in the mall parking lot shortly after 10 p.m. for drug possession and distribution, conspiracy and illegal use of a communications device. Both defendants remain in jail at Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility, each in lieu of $200,000 bail. They are scheduled for a Jan. 25 preliminary hearing.
According to the DA's office, the men drove to Philadelphia from Wilkes-Barre in a 2002 Chrysler minivan with the marijuana in the back of the vehicle. They allegedly packed the drugs in 20 vacuum-sealed plastic bags, which they stuffed into a suitcase. The drugs are worth about $100,000 on the street, the DA's office said.
The arrests were part of an ongoing investigation into narcotics trafficking from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton to Philadelphia. Philadelphia police assisted in the operation. ••

The United States Customs and Border Patrol officers on Saturday located the father of an 11-year-old girl, who was removed by her parents from a hospital, where she was being treated for leukemia.
Officers stopped Luis Bracamontes at the Arizona and Mexico border, when he was trying to enter the United States. He was questioned by officers on the whereabouts of his daughter, Emily, but could not provide officers with any information and denied any involvement with the case, Phoenix police spokesman Steve Martos said.
He was not driving the same vehicle, a black Ford van, that police said Emily may have left the hospital in with her parents, Martos said.
Surveillance tape shows Emily being walked out of Phoenix Children's Hospital at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday by her 35-year-old mother, Norma.
The girl, who is Hispanic, was brought to the hospital for treatment of leukemia, police said.
During treatment, a chest catheter was placed into the little girl's heart. She also had to have her arm amputated due to infection, officials said.
For unknown reasons, the mother decided to remove the IV from the catheter, changed the child's clothing and walked her out of the hospital, police said.
"We have been informed by medical personnel if the catheter is not medically removed the victim's heart could potentially become infected resulting in the child's death," Martos said.
Detectives searched locally and out of state.
The girl was scheduled to be released from the hospital Thursday morning, according to Martos.
"We don't know why they left," Martos said. "Our primary concern is for the safety of the girl."
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the individuals is asked to contact Silent Witness at 480-948-6377.

"Dementia is a scary subject. You are not alone; we are all here together," medical social worker Joanne Harvey said to a crowded audience during the Fairchild Medical Center Foundation's health and wellness forum, "Understanding Dementia and Strategies for Families and Caregivers" on Sept. 19.
The heavily attended forum, held in the multi-purpose room at the Seventh-day Adventist School in Yreka, provided practical information about the dementia syndrome, treatment options, planning for end-of-life care and caregiver tips for avoiding burn-out.
In addition to Harvey, who has worked with the geriatric population for over 20 years, Dr. Bruce Riger spoke at the forum. Riger has been working with patients afflicted with the dementia syndrome for 30 years.
Riger clarified that mild cognitive impairment, such as memory problems that require a person to think longer before recalling a name, does not meet the criteria for dementia. He pointed out that lack of sleep and stress can cause memory impairments. However, he said 50 to 80 percent of those with mild cognitive impairment go on to develop dementia.
Riger said many people believe dementia is part of the natural aging process. While one in three senior citizens die from a form of dementia each year, Riger said it is not a condition that develops as part of the normal aging process.
He explained that approximately 70 percent of dementia diagnoses are Alzheimer's disease, though some people can have more than one form of dementia. Rarely, people in their 40s have been known to develop the syndrome, though Riger said it is more common among older adults over the age of 55.
He said early warning signs of Alzheimer's disease are memory loss, confusion that affects job performance, problems carrying out familiar tasks, difficulty with language, disorientation, impaired judgement, mood changes and problems with abstract thinking.
He said many people who have Alzheimer's disease are unaware that there is a problem, and it is not until their loved ones urge them to seek a medical evaluation that they come to learn that they have the disease.
He said Alzheimer's disease is diagnosed by an evaluation, during which a physician reviews the patient's medications and psychological history. This is followed by a physical and neurologic exam and computerized tomography scan to determine whether the patient is afflicted with the condition.

Albrecht Mayer's 'Bonjour Paris'
Saturday, February 19, 2011
Albrecht Mayer is a rarity: an oboe soloist with a major-label recording contract. With a "day job" as the principal oboist in the Berlin Philharmonic he also gives solo recitals and masterclasses around the world. Our Album of the Week shows just why Mayer is in such demand, a collection of popular melodies from the French repertoire, with a world premiere for good measure.
The oboe is one of the most soloistic of symphony orchestra instruments and yet it rivals the tuba for the number of concertos in its name. Sure, Mozart and Richard Strauss composed oboe concertos, and Baroque composers had a love affair with the double-reed instrument (Vivaldi wrote over 15 oboe concertos). But even those pieces are rarely performed and this notoriously cantankerous instrument is perhaps best known for its role in tuning the orchestra before every concert.
With this collection Mayer is principally concerned with showing off the oboe's singing qualities, applying a velvety tone and nimble technique to a variety of transcriptions. Chief among them are several piano pieces adapted for oboe, including Satie's celebrated Gymnopedie No. 1, Debussy's La Fille aux cheveux de lin and Clair de lune and Ravel's Pavane pour une infante defunte. Works originally for orchestra (Faure's Pavane) and voice (Reynaldo Hahn's A Chloris) also turn up.
The album contains one world premiere, the contemplative Ete ("summer,") by Swiss composer Gotthard Odermatt. Like the arrangements, it is perfectly enjoyable. But perhaps the biggest surprise is Jean Françaix's L'Horloge De Flore (1959) a suite that depicts a giant musical flowering clock, which for every hour of the day and night describes a plant in music, from the gladiolus to the cactus. The deftly orchestrated music brings together Mayer's stylish playing with the brilliant accompaniments of the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields.

Please forgive the typo. I did it to Midge Woolsey, also.
You do put words in my mouth. I am not talking about my taste when I say "standard repertoire" but my long experience as a wholesale sheet music buyer in the retail music business, and as a board member of a major piano teaching organization. Debussy preludes are standard repertoire, whether you or I like them or not. WQXR is only first learning what that is.
I am not centering on daily, minute-to-minute choices here, but on the granting of an award, one which impacts on careers and also serves as a major sales impetus to a commercial product (CD), an activity really inapppriate to a public radio station, unless it is linked to sponsorship by way of financial support, in which case federal law mandates disclosure of that fact with every single airing.
@Michael Meltzer
Here's a question: would you ask WNYC's newsroom to justify why it chooses to open a newscast with some stories and not others? Would you ask them why they turn to some sources in reporting stories? Perhaps, but you're not likely to get such a detailed answer.
Ultimately, as listeners and donors, we have to put our trust in the media product a public radio station presents. It may not always be to your specific tastes (maybe they don't believe the Debussy preludes are such hot stuff) but life is always full of subjective decisions. These people are professionals who don't need to be told how to do their jobs by others like you or me.
Not to confuse the issue, Albrecht Mayer does beautiful work and that is not in dispute. Simply, for his CD to earn "Album of the Week" distinction, others, perhaps others as beautiful or more, must be denied that distinction, which denies at the same time a career stepping-stone. How is the decision made and by whom?
By a station that can't hear the difference between orchestra and string orchestra, or whether a Hummel piece is in major or minor? A station that is unaware that Debussy Preludes are standard repertoire for the piano, much less the solo preludes and etudes of Rachmaninoff and Scriabin?
I'm sorry, but if you add in the daily errors in posting, there is too much to indicate that WQXR management is very new to the field of classical music and its standards, and its qualifications for making decisions that impact on careers bear some looking at, particularly since this is Public Radio. Why are there secrets here?
Trust, much like respect, must be earned.
WQXR could earn more trust by being forthcoming about its policies and mission, and by addressing the concerns that have been raised regarding their programming practices, as repeatedly requested by Mr. Meltzer, among others of us.
Appealing for our monetary support by reminding us that they're the only game in town equates them more to an electrical utility, or a sewer system. It's not good enough! If they showed more respect for their listenership, by, for example, showing responsiveness to the serious queries and comments they solicit on this site, they could earn more respect in return.
Dear Mr. Meltzer, you really are a true investigator. Where is your trust in the people who run WQXR. Music is emotion and the choice of the Album of the Week will always be influenced by emotion. Thank God for that. I understand that public radio is in danger by some rule where your Congress has to vote about that issue. Openness is a good thing. If this means that everything should be packed into rules and justification I think there will never a surprise in our life. WQXR surprises me every week. The Album of this week "Bonjour Paris". is beautiful and is now in my cd player over here in my little village in The Netherlands.
Those are beautiful words, but the CD's do not decide among themselves which one "stands out."
1. "An engaging musical personality" describes many, many more artists than are chosen.
2. "Creative repertoire choices" reallybegs the question in view of the plethora of transcriptions selected.
3. "Stand out from the pack" has no esthetic meaning whatsoever, it would apply to anaything selected.
How does a newly recorded artist approach you? How do you assemble the CD's to be reviewed? Who does the reviewing?
Do you understand that the unusual attention and promotion your selection provides comes to bear on the progress of careers? It is an award, and every not-for-profit competition and artistic achievement award granting organization in the world makes public its process of application and the names of its jurors.
Is your very private selection process appropriate to the public institution that you characterize yourself as when you ask for donations, or for your audience to use their names on your behalf and write to Congress?
About Album of the Week
Album of the Week is our weekly spotlight on compelling new recordings. It focuses on creative repertoire choices, engaging musical personalities, or artistic statements that stand out from the pack. You can hear the Album of the Week throughout the day and evening on WQXR.
Your link, http://www.wqxr.org/articles/album-week/, supplies no information whatsoever about your standards, how CD's come to your attention or your process of selection. It is only a recap of past choices.
To those who have questions about our featured album selections, please refer to the description on our main Album of the Week page:
(See "About Album of the Week," on the right-hand side of the page)
Thank you. We appreciate your feedback.
There seems to be little discussion of the merits of this recording. Albrecht Mayer is an amazing artist, and this is a gorgeous recording, with lush orchestrations featuring an under-appreciated solo instrument. That should be enough!
Mr. Schnall's appropriate comment notwithstanding, an occasional dismal choice is only human, to be expected, and probably forgivable. Not to get away from the point, how and by whom is the choice made? Is it done in a manner consistent with the open and cooperative spirit of a public institution? Is it free of influences inconsistent with that spirit?
Tell us.
Actually, this Albrecht Mayer album features transcriptions of piano pieces. That, alone, would probably have been enough to justify its selection by the programming committer at WQXR. Any excuse to play a transcription rather than the original makes it a shoo-in.
Overall, I believe there is more musical content aired per hour than during the NY Times ownership era. I also don't think the on-air personalities talk any more than they ever did.
However, I continue to be dismayed at the blatant hypocrisy inherent in the claim that this is now a non-commercial radio station. I'd "buy" that claim if sponsorship announcements ended simply with the name of the sponsor. The moment it goes from "blahblahblah film company" to "currently featuring such-and-such movie starring who-even-cares", it has become a commercial advertisement, pure and simple, no matter how brief. I cannot stand being lied to, and that's exactly what they're doing.
Promos this week for Bill McGlaughlin's excellent program "Exploring Music" make the point that Handel's reputation appears to rest on Messiah, Water Music (or was it the Royal Fireworks?)... whichever.... So what does WQXR do to commemorate his birthday? Feature a "showdown" between those 3 works, ending up playing a mere half-hour of excerpts from Messiah. There were a few other Handel works scattered during the day. But why did they choose, e.g., to play Schiff's recording of a Bach English Suite in the evening instead of one of Handel's keyboard suites. Nothing against the Bach, which I enjoyed hearing, but is there any thought process involved? How do such shenanigans counteract that stereotypical view of Handel? Without Handel, we likely would not have had a Beethoven or Brahms. He certainly composed enough and is important enough to justify a Handel Day like the recent Mozart Day.
Remember on Samuel Barber's last birthday, instead of playing Horowitz's premiere recording of his piano sonata (or any recording of it at all, for that matter) they programmed another Horowitz selection of almost equal length.
OK, enough of this particular rant... I'll just go off humming to myself... "dumb de dumb dumb dumb dumb..."
Payola is payola if "support" is paid sponsorship, of any kind, of a specific recording that is not announced as sponsorship at EACH airing of the recording. It doesn't matter if its a paid ad, a contribution or a bribe. None of those are violations of federal law, it is the secrecy that is a violation, and the penalties are severe.
When is payola not payola? When public radio and television refer to supporters rather than advertisers. Do you believe that there's no connection at all between financial support and the announcements which run on and on, unlike commercial ads, and which come from organizations desiring a plug to promote sales? We're asked for our money, but we don't get the input these businesses have. This has a direct bearing on what we hear. As for the promised "more music", there's not one minute more and likely less as some of the presenters like Jeff and Midge would rather hear the sound of their own voices than play music. Yesterday there were complaints at the round up of usual suspects for the showdown feature. This is part of the same phenomenon of keeping to what sells, and ignoring listeners' wishes. I want to be able to listen to classical music, of which there's plenty that doesn't involve religious music or Aaron Copland conducted by Lenny. Do you have to think very hard to see how much airtime is taken away from music by Handel, Bach, Mozart and all by these points? Just accept that we have to take what they choose to play, like it or not.
To Jen:
All very interesting, but what I'm referring to is the time-worn rhetoric used by Congressional opponents to Public Radio that P.R. has become the media organ of the left. The Tea Party has reinforced that rhetoric.
Not my principal point anyway. I'm concerned with the mechanics of how a commercial CD becomes the subject of Public Radio advertising and promotion, and what does an aspiring and possibly deserving artist do to come to WQXR's attention. So far, request for that information is stonewalled, and it appears to be a closed loop, none of the public's business.
That is unacceptable.
I find it interesting that it's inferred that public radio should be unbiased and that the government should be able to keep it so. I am one of those people who are (inferred negatively in your comment) too young to remember something from 1960, but am a classical music instructor who has been actively involved in the pursuit for over 15 years as an instructor and over 30 years as a performer. One thing I know is that little to do with music is unbiased. Another thing I feel strongly about is that little to do with the media is unbiased. I'm also fairly certain that few of the elected officials and people employed by tax dollars are particularly focused on that fact. Maybe I'll feel differently when I'm older, but decades of experience have formed these views pretty firmly.
For the third week, I am inquiring as to how recordings become eligible for consideration as "Album of the Week" and how the selection process is conducted. The management of WQXR may be too young to remember the Congressional hearings that rocked the broadcast industry in 1959 and resulted in the "Payola" legislation of 1960, wherein Congress laid down extremely stern mandates about music selection disclosure for private and public broadcasters alike.
I mention that not to infer suspicion of any malpractice, if I were suspicious I would be writing to the FCC, not WQXR. I am simply underscoring that my inquiries are far from frivolous and that the issue is far from trivial. At a time when Congress is threatening to cut funding of Public Radio because of widespread Congressional perception, right or wrong, that the industry has become editorially biased and its management has become "ivory tower," openness in public broadcast management should go without saying. Public disclosure should be the order of the day, undertaken cheerfully and with the awareness that the public is not only your audience, but your employer.

Economic Values
The institutional framework of a country is based on its value system. This DICE field includes indicators that measure ethical values concerning the economy as a whole. The indicators are divided into four groups: peoples' ethical values/opinions concerning markets, businesses and the economy, environmental values, values concerning science and technology and finally, ethical values related to the personal work environment.
- Economy 5
- Environment 8
- Science and Technology 10
- Work 10
Personal Values
The institutional framework of a country is defined not only by its economic values, but also by the ethical values of its citizens. This DICE field includes indicators that measure ethical values and opinions that concern the individual (for example, measures for the citizens' happiness) and the family (for example, the importance of marriage as an institution and gender roles in a society).
Political Values
Political systems define the institutions of a country. However, such systems can only function if citizens believe and trust in them. This DICE folder contains indicators that measure peoples' trust in the political institutions of their countries and the EU system.

I don't know anything about Haskell but learning Scheme made me finally understand recursion.

Actually learning a lisp or another functional language before Haskell is a good idea.

Although Python would be the first choice; As long as you know what you are doing, you can work with any coding language for maths.

Did you include a smiley? I didn't see it. The animated flashing ones annoy me, so I adblock the bunch of them. (For what it's worth, I also don't see avatars and signatures, because I don't like the visual noise.) I did figure that it was a joke, though, at least halfway, but it was a joke that reflected the reality of the Haskell community as the rest of us experience it - so it was at most half a joke.
And in that spirit, my comment was half a joke, half serious as well. The smug Haskell coder actually is a cliche, and in that sense I was playing along with your joke. But that cliche exists because that smug Haskell programmer is really the only person out there talking about the language, and in that sense I was serious: the people who advocate for the language seem to be doing their best to convince me that the only real use for Haskell is to make Haskell programmers feel superior to others. Seeing no practical use cases for the language, I have not added it to my list of things to learn, and until I see a reason to, I'm not likely to spend the time required to learn it.

Some languages are worth learning even if you don't think you'll ever make a living off of them. An example would be assembly, it teaches you to think in different terms, and it shows you what goes on beneath the surface. Same goes with Haskell, it teaches one to think differently, and get exposed to a lot of new concepts. Just my opinion.

Minnie Rose Premieres Pop Up at New Resort The Montauk Beach House
With cozy cashmere knits, glam ponchos, crocheted shorts and vaca-chic essentials, Minnie Rose is the ideal fit for a pop up at Montauk's first truly fancy hotel, The Montauk Beach House. The creative force behind the brand, named after her two chic grandmothers, is Lisa Shaller-Goldberg, a twenty-year veteran in the fashion industry who launched her collection in 2006.
The affable Shaller-Goldberg excitedly relays how the short-term store came to be, "I had a meltdown last summer at the pool in Amagansett, and said I have to have a pop-up shop next year because while Minnie Rose has a very strong presence at stores in the Hamptons, I dream about walking into a boutique and seeing the full line with all of the color direction." The designer's dream turned out to be more of a prophecy as months later, The Montauk Beach House owners Chris Jones and Larry Siedlick reached out to Shaller-Goldberg for a partnership to coincide with the opening of their new 33 bedroom hotel in the center of Montauk's business district.
For a collection designed around the idea of layering and building upon a wardrobe with coordinating pieces, it's an exciting endeavor to finally have all the pieces of the puzzle sold in one place. The actual set up for Minnie Rose in Montauk is a dreamy location off of one of the hotel's two pools, part of the private-membership beach club of what the designer calls, "the sexiest hotel."
Built at the location of an old East End motel synonymous with a Tiki, Polynesian theme, the new Montauk Beach House (images above by Chris Foster) shares the old motel's laidback DNA but took it up a major luxury notch.
"What they (Jones and Siedlick) were drawn to is the whole vibe of Minnie Rose — casual, comfortable, elegant, yet sophisticated," says Shaller-Goldberg. "The main priority is the comfort level, and the laid-back, easy attitude that it has."
The pop-up, which will be open until mid-November and houses approximately 30 styles with five exclusives, is having its grand opening today. A full opening party with a Minnie Rose runway show is planned for July 14.

text: Alex Rodriguez suspended from playing through 2014, but can still play due to an appeal Rodriguez will lose $34 million Carson Chambers 4:21 PM, Aug 5, 2013 4:51 AM, Aug 6, 2013 Share Article Previous Next The highest paid player in baseball will lose $34 million because of a 211 game suspension which kicks-in Thursday August 8. ( http://wfts.tv/12Vrr2F ) WFTS Alex Rodriguez of the Yankees smiles before stepping to the plate against the Rays Copyright Getty Images Show Caption Hide Caption Previous Next TAMPA - The highest paid player in baseball will lose $34 million because of a 211 game suspension which kicks-in Thursday August 8. ( http://wfts.tv/12Vrr2F) "The one thing that's I've gotten from so many people, so many fans, some teammates, they're like, what is going on?" said Alex Rodriguez on Saturday at a post-game presser. Now there's no doubt, after months of leaks, Major League Baseball officially suspended Alex Rodriguez. He is expected to make his season debut against the White Sox tonight and teammate Derek Jeter said yesterday, he'll welcome him. "He's our teammate. If he's here tomorrow, we look forward to seeing him," said Jeter. Though his suspension benches A-Rod for the rest of this season and next, he can play during his suspension because he's appealing to an arbitrator and fighting the allegations. Rodriguez worked out in Tampa Thursday at George Steinbrenner Field nursing a hip injury since October of 2012. Plant High School baseball player Stephen Chamblee and his teammates say it's a black eye. "It's a disappointment to baseball and I don't like being viewed like that, as a baseball player as a whole- just everyone. There's so many players being suspended for that reason," he said. A-Rod is suspended for his ties to Florida's biogenesis clinic. Rodriguez never failed a drug test but admitted to using performance enhancing drugs in the past. He also claims he quit using them in 2003 but baseball officials say there's evidence he lied. "I think it kind've just gives a downside to kids who look up to him. It just makes them sad that to realize that one of their baseball heroes is doing the wrong stuff," said Rose, Plant High School baseball player. The clinic's owner Tony Bosch is cooperating with authorities. A dozen more players have been suspended as well but none as famous or well-paid as A-Rod. The suspension is a record-setting penalty for using performance enhancing drugs and lying about it. A-Rod would be almost 40 years old when he's allowed to come back.

Ex-Windows chief, Steven Sinofsky becomes Harvard professor
Former Windows president is now a Harvard professor
Comment | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AA
Just weeks after Windows 8 was launched, Microsoft pushed their Windows President, Steven Sinofsky, out onto the street. But, with his previous record of employment, we all knew it wouldn't be long until he landed another position.
Well, the ex-Windows chief has announced through Twitter that he was "excited to return" to teach at Harvard Business School this coming spring. CNET has reported that he previously served as a "visiting scholar" at Harvard Business School in the late-90s.
So for those of you at HBS, you might be rubbing shoulders with the ex-Windows President next year.

Check with NLM Before Discarding Journals
The National Library of Medicine's Journal Donation System makes it possible for libraries to determine whether NLM needs any volumes of the print journals they plan to discard. The system can be used by DOCLINE and non-DOCLINE libraries to offer any title, including titles not owned by NLM. The system can be accessed directly through the web site or by searching "Journal Donation System" on NLM's home page. In the system, click on "Help" for detailed instructions. For additional assistance, contact NLM at (301) 496-0081 or email@example.com. NLM will pay shipping for needed volumes. For donations of pre-1871 journal volumes, contact the NLM History of Medicine Division.
Since the beginning of the online donation system in April 2009, over 10,000 gifts have been added to the NLM collection. With the help of libraries planning to discard journal volumes, NLM can build on the success achieved to date.

Our universal sweet tooth is the cause and making money always motivates mankind.
"In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue" -- my mother-in-law was fond of this quote so it's stuck with me.
What was the purpose of Columbus's voyage? To seek the spices of the Orient by sailing west. One of those spices was sugar.
Later in history to supply the French sweet tooth during the English blockade of France in the Napolean Era the French developed sugar from beets.
Developing sugar from corn became imperative in the 70's because for some reason the government (US) imposed tariffs and quotas on imported sugar. This upped the price of sugar in the US and Canada well above the global price.
When corn lost its market in the making of margarine because soybeans became the preference, the US subsidized corn and it became cheap.
The technology for making sugar from corn had already been invented in 1927 so, following industry's usual modus operandi, they broke down a natural substance into its basic components, tinkered with it with enzymes and made cheap sugar.
High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) was born.
HFCS was introduced into our foods from 1975-85 (Coke and Pepsi began using HFCS in 1984) and is now in 80% of our processed foods.
Now, in Europe, HFCS is subject to quotas keeping it restricted to 2-3% of sugar production.
