Research interests in the Schlenker lab integrate synthetic chemistry and physical chemistry to develop fundamental principles and advanced concepts for designing materials with technological relevance for low-cost, high-efficiency energy conversion and storage devices. The common scientific goal in this work is to deepen our basic understanding of how electronic dynamics within heterogeneous solids are controlled by mesoscale organization. Advancing energy science and technology to scale sustainably to global demand requires that we predictively bridge bottom-up molecular behavior to meet top-down device engineering. At present, there is no such bridge. To overcome this challenge, the goals of the lab are to understand how chemical organization influences charge dynamics in model organic, organic/inorganic, and biogenic composites for devices such as 1) thin-film photovoltaics and 2) next-generation rechargeable batteries. Students joining the group will synthesize model organic, inorganic and organometallic compounds to study their properties in working devices using physical characterization tools such as pump-probe and luminescence spectroscopy, electrochemistry, time-domain and frequency-domain electronic measurements, and in situ structural characterization methods.

The climate talks in Bangkok have framed the future of climate change talks. Many observers and negotiators were frustrated that all the discussion seemed to be on the agenda. What is important to understand is that this was about establishing a framework for discussion. The "agenda" is an agreement on what Cancún means. Bangkok was about fundamental questions – where we are coming from, where we are going and where we want to end up. The decisions in Cancún were adopted by acclamation, but when negotiators woke up the next morning, there were very different interpretations. Some understood Cancún as a new mandate for a process that would focus on making incremental progress. Many developed countries understood Cancún in this way, informed by an assessment that a new climate treaty is 'politically unrealistic'. Few would disagree that the US is not ready to take on a treaty any time soon. But many others interpreted Cancún as a step in saving the process – a process that still needs to lead to a legally binding agreement. A comprehensive agreement. In short, a treaty.
Most developing countries hold this view. Certainly all developing countries support a second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol. Not only is the US not a Party, but Japan and Russia have been adamant they will not join Kyoto for a second period. What Bangkok made very clear is that this is now a fundamentally political issue. The question is simple: Is there a future of the Kyoto Protocol? Many would have said before Bangkok that the answer is no. After Bangkok, the voices for Kyoto are re-gaining strength. This is important not only for the most sophisticated system of rules that the world has to address climate change, but for the climate itself. Durban will be the last chance to answer this question, given tha the first commitment period ends in 2012. The second and related big political question is whether Durban will launch a process to negotiate a new treaty. This is another reason why the fights about the agenda were tough. A treaty would be the most obvious legal form for a comprehensive agreement. In this respect, the G77&China made an important contribution to defining the "agenda". The group was not willing to downgrade the comprehensive agendas defined in Bali to incrementalism. Certainly developing countries want to undertake the work programme that will deliver funding, adaptation and technology. But it must be clearly understood that this should form part of an overall agreement, addressing key issues that remained unresolved in Cancún. The agenda proposed by the Chair simply did not address those unresolved issues. The G77 comprises 132 countries. Despite the huge diversity of views that this implies, the group was able to table a single agenda. Brazil, one of the BASIC countries and coordinating for the G77, understood the different views and facilitated a compromise approach. It was these interventions that delivered an agenda at the end of Bangkok, which uses the Bali building blocks, advanced implementation of the Cancún agreements and works towards a comprehensive agreement.

Most people know the story of South Africa's miraculous transformation from an tumultuous apartheid state into Nelson Mandela's "Rainbow Nation." However, many are less familiar with what has happened in the years that followed since, ushered in by Mandela's presidency in 1994.
Author Douglas Foster shines light on South Africa's lesser known post-apartheid era in his book "After Mandela: The Struggle for Freedom in Post-Apartheid South Africa." Foster describes how the country experienced various periods of unrest as it struggled with economic disparity, AIDS, and political turmoil. Foster further examines the enduring racial tensions in South Africa, where half the population is under twenty-five and knows Mandela only as a distant historical figure.
Most of all, Foster strives to comprehensively answer the question: what will become of the South African dream of freedom and equality articulated by Mandela when he fearlessly became the nation's first black president?
Douglas Foster, author of "After Mandela: The Struggle for Freedom in Post-Apartheid South Africa" (Liveright Publishing); associate professor at the Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University. Formerly senior editor at the Center for Investigative Reporting and director of the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California, Berkeley.
Live Event
Douglas Foster will discuss and sign copies of After Mandela at Book Soup in West Hollywood tonight at 7pm.

The Senate's New Era of Collegiality?
Alaska Republican Sen. Ted Stevens (R) and Florida Sen. Bill Nelson (D) strolled by the famed Ohio Clock just outside the Senate chamber in deep conversation this morning. Then -- with the requisite flashing of camera bulbs -- came Illinois Sen. (and soon to be presidential candidate?) -- Barack Obama (D), chatting with Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman (Independent Democrat) and Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch (R).
The procession marked the conclusion of a closed caucus of the entire Senate, an attempt to foster bipartisanship on the first day of the 110th Congress. The special session was called by incoming Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who both quickly declared it a sign of things to come.
Reid said the session gave senators a chance to "express their hopes and desires for a better America." McConnell cited past bipartisan congressional triumphs like Social Security reform and welfare reform as evidence that the two parties can and will work together. "We would like to tackle the big issues," said McConnell.
But on those big issues -- most notably the war in Iraq -- neither Reid nor McConnell offered any clear bipartisan way forward. Reid said simply, "Iraq is where it is. The country is where it is." Aha.
Reid also deflected a question about how the Senate would organize itself given that South Dakota Sen. Tim Johnson (D) still lies in a Washington hospital following major surgery to correct a genetic abnormality in the blood vessels of his brain. With Johnson out of pocket, Democrats hold a 50-49 vote advantage. If he was to pass away or resign his seat, the Republican governor of South Dakota would be charged with choosing a temporary replacement -- a move that could throw control of Congress into chaos.
Reid was determined to stay positive in his remarks this morning, noting that the first bill introduced in the Senate will be an ethics and lobbying reform package he cosponsored with McConnell. Reid also held out hope that the two sides might find a way to cosponsor legislation on increasing the minimum wage.
"We are not going to divert out attention from what needs to be accomplished for our country," Reid said. "The proof is in the pudding."
See the next page for the full transcript of the Reid-McConnell press availability.
Transcript of Reid-McConnell remarks from Thursday morning:
REID: Now, I know that you're not accustomed, members of the press, to people getting along, working together. But Senator McConnell and I believe this is a new day in Washington, that our efforts are going to be to work in a bipartisan basis, in an open fashion, to solve the problems of the American people.
We've just had a wonderful meeting, non-legislative in nature, but one where people had the opportunity to express their hopes and desires for a better America.
MCCONNELL: I think Harry's got it right. This opportunity we had in the Old Senate Chamber was a chance for many of our members to express some of their quiet frustrations, that we get past the level of partisanship that we've witnessed in recent years and develop stronger personal relationships, as well as work across party aisles -- and I -- across the party aisle.
I think it's important to remember that some of the most significant achievements over the last 25 years have been during periods of divided government. I think, for example, of Ronald Reagan-Tip O'Neill Social Security solution in 1983. I think of the welfare reform when President Clinton was in the White House and Republicans were in the majority here in the House and Senate.
I think we ought to raise the crossbar and do important things for the next generation. And we can do that on a bipartisan basis. And I think that's the broad view among all senators, that they'd like for us to tackle the big issues.
QUESTION: Senators, how are you going to (inaudible) in a practical way?
REID: I believe that the proof is in the pudding. I think this first work period is extremely important.
But I think it speaks volumes that the first legislation that's going to be placed on the floor is something that's long overdue and absolutely necessary, is sponsored by the Democratic leader and the Republican leader. I think that's a very good first start.
REID: We look to our next piece of legislation following this ethics lobbying reform, which will be minimum wage. And Senator McConnell and I are working to see if we can offer something together on that issue.
So we have goals that we're going to achieve and expectations we hope to meet.
QUESTION: Senator, when is there going to be in organizing resolution? And also, will Republicans insist that (inaudible) ratio of senators changes in their favor (inaudible)
REID: We are going to organize, as we always do at the beginning of the Congress. If issues rise at a later time, the Senate -- we'll work out whatever differences may develop at a later time.
QUESTION: Senator Reid (inaudible) Iraq. It's not like new legislation that will divide you. What about Iraq? And the president is going to deliver his plan as early as Tuesday (inaudible) it is this surge that's being reported, are you able to get on board...
REID: Iraq is where it is. The country is where it is. Iraq is an issue that we all need to work on, and we will work on that. And we will work on that to the best of our ability in a bipartisan manner.
But we're not going to divert our attention from what needs to be accomplished for this country. There are a lot of things that need to be accomplished. And we're going to work on those, in spite of Iraq.
One more question?
Thank you.

It is not hypocrisy and you are sadly mistaken on what constitutes as states rights. If a Constitutional Amendment against same sex marriages gets through congress (which it did not) and 2/3 of the states ratify it then that Amendment is law regardless of what an individual state wants or says. This is why states can not arbitrarily pass slavery laws and why Jim Crow laws were finally overturned. However, if a state so chooses they can pass their own pro or anti-same sex marriage laws regardless of what people from other states believe is right or just. If an amendment banning same sex marriages is ratified into law then states with same sex marriages laws would be ruled unconstitutionally and vis versa if an amendment permitting same sex marriages is ratified states with a ban on same sex marriages would be ruled unconstitutional when challenged in court.
Let me add, amending the constitution is a right of all states. If it were as you say, then many of the rights we have today would not be around since we could not amend the constitution (i.e., woman right to vote, etc). I think you fail to see the ignorance of your argument.

Isn't anyone here outraged about the concept of a private meeting of the entire Senate for something other than the discussion of state secrets?
I don't care about how palsy Reid and McConnell are. They can have lunch together every afternoon for all I care.
But if they believe that the People want their Senators to only say what they really think in private sessions, and continue to prevaricate in public, then they really don't understand the People.
Or, judging by the comments above, maybe they do.

It isn't rhetoric to point out hypocrisy. When a state law is in their favor on an issue important to them, you're all about the importance of states right.
However, when it is something that you don't like then you want to trample on Federalism and override state's rights by amending the constitution. Spare me YOUR rhetoric.

Do the Republicans really want a Senate that they control only via Cheney's tiebreaker? Having all the accountability without any of the power sounds like a very bad deal. If I were a Republican Senator, I'd welcome the narrowly controlled Democratic Senate because even with a 51-49 majority, they can't really get that much done in terms of legislation. (Subpoenas are another matter.)
Also, if Gov. Rounds appoints a Republican to fill Johnson's seat, look for another Republican to switch parties and restore the original balance resulting from the 2006 elections.
One final point to remember: the math for Republicans in the Senate does not look good for 2008 OR 2010 because of all the seats they gained in 2002 and 2004. They might want to get a bit more content with life in the minority because in a few years, they will wish they were only down 51-49.

Joe Voter has it correct. The voters voted for Sen. Johnson; not for the Democrat running for Senate.
When an appointed Senator is necessary there is no ethical problem in appointing somebody from a different party; as long as the appointee represents the state properly. There has been all sorts of different logic used by appointing Governors. They are all equally ethical if the appointee will represent the voters in that state properly.
Fortunately, it looks as if an appointed Senator will not be necessary.
The Idaho model posed by Josha looks reasonable to me. Now, how do you get 49 other states to agree to that?

Since when has SD or any other state told another state they could not legalize gay marriages? I fail to see the illogic of your argument. What typically happens is that a court system or local political official passes some type of same sex marriages and it is the people of that state that overturn the law (if it occurs). If the congress passes an amendment against same sex marriages and it is ratified by 2/3 of the states, it is the law of the land regardless of what an individual state wishes. If I follow your logic I could pass slavery laws regardless of the constitution. Please spare me your rhetoric.

I think that you're mistaken on who the voters of South Dakota elected. They elected Senator Johnson, who happens to be a Democrat. Anyone the governor might appoint, Democrat or Republican, is not the person elected. You have no data to back up the contention that if Johnson can't serve, that the electorate in South Dakota wants another Democrat. There may well be a Republican who has the exact same philosophy and positions as Johnson who would represent South Dakota in the way Johnson would.
Hopefully the Senator will quickly recover and this will be moot.

Jimbo writes "Appointing someone other than a Democrat would be overturning the will of the people in South Dakota. If the resulting appointment then overturned the Democrats controlling the U.S. Senate, then it would also be overturning the will of the people of the country."
I agree that a lot of people in the US would be pissed off, but I don't think that the gov should be obliged to appoint someone from the same party. Personally, if I were the gov in question, and wanted to run for that seat, I'd probably follow the unofficial tradition of appointing the spouse to the empty seat. Though I think this has only been done by governors of the same party of the deceased member (I'm thinking of Bono & Carnahan).

I'm not trying to argue that the governor of South Dakota, by law, doesn't have the right to appoint anyone he damn well chooses to that position. Heck, he could probably appoint his cat to that position if he really wanted to. It wouldn't make it right.
There's what's legal, and then there is what is RIGHT.
And I'll reiterate again: South Dakota people, the people of South Dakota, elected a Democrat to that seat. Appointing someone other than a Democrat would be overturning the will of the people in South Dakota. If the resulting appointment then overturned the Democrats controlling the U.S. Senate, then it would also be overturning the will of the people of the country.
Yes, it would be legal as written by law, but it certainly wouldn't be RIGHT, regardless of your own agenda. (SDR = South Dakota Republican?)
And on a side-note, where is the respect for states rights on the Republican side when issues such as certain states legalizing gay marriage come up and the Republican response is to try and push for a Constitutional Amendment to ban gay marriage?

I think you are missing the bigger picture, why should a state be told how to govern itself by others if it already has procedure law on its books. I do not know SD law but if the governor is the one who appoints a new Sen. why should he/she be told by people from ID or any other state who he/she can choose. Where is state's right?

I wish every state would just say that if a Senator dies or is unable to serve, a replacement can be appointed by the party, or do what Idaho does (the party of the Senator picks 3 candidates, then the Gov of the state picks one). Oh well.

SDR and bsimon:
With respect, I believe you are missing the big picture. We're not talking about just South Dakota here. We're talking about swinging control over the entire senate from Republican control to Democratic control. No, it isn't unreasonable to put a Republican senator in a red state like South Dakota.
However, the voters of South Dakota elected a DEMOCRAT to that senatorship. Furthermore, the voters of the ENTIRE NATION elected a DEMOCRATIC majority in the Senate.
I already said that the word "coup" was not a perfect one. But really, my own agenda notwithstanding, the Republican governor arbitrarily deciding to overrule the will of both the people of South Dakota, who elected a Democrat, and the people of the United States, who chose a Democrat controlled Senate, is factually accurate.

The tramscript of the remarks made by Reid and McConnell is great.
I hope that both of these leaders will remember the spirit of comity, hope and patriotism that clearly was abroad today for the rest of the term.
The American people need a united and cooperative leadership. There will be plenty of time for ego inflating and for seeking factional advantages, but let's hope the leadership and rank and file stay focussed on doing the people's business.

I do not wish any harm to Senator Johnson and I believe nothing will. However, to say that there is a coup if they select a R in SD is a little over the top. The state is very conservative and considered a strongly red state. Why would it be unreasonable if they picked a R to replace Sen. Johnson. It not like he won his seat overwhelmingly. Do not let your agenda govern how other states represent themselves in Congress. I personally think and hope nothing happens to Sen. Johnson.

Jackson: Sorry, was just answering the Question, not trying to remove the Gentleman from office.

Jimbo writes "The American electorate deliberately put Democrats in control over the Senate. If the Republican gov. overturns that you're going to have a lot of very, very angry Democrats."
Well, that may overstate the case a little bit. The people of South Dakota picked a Democratic Senator and a Republican governor. If Senator Johnson leaves the office prior to the closure of the term, the governor has to perform his duties as he best sees fit. Of course, he'll have to consider his own political future, as he allegedly wants to run for that seat himself in 2008. Here in MN, a Governor had himself appointed to a Senate seat that became open - a move that backfired.

That statement alone should be causing certain posters to break out in hives. The last straw of "but Senator Johnson..." just slipped out of your grasp.

Not 'will.' 'Would.' Whether Tim Johnson will be able to return to his duties any time soon is clearly a big question. But he does not appear to be on death's door any longer. Even if he stays in a coma for the rest of his term he cannot be removed from office. Only death or voluntary resignation would allow the Governor to appoint a replacement.

I don't understand why, should something tragic befall Sen. Johnson of South Dakota, any action would create "chaos." If the the Republican Gov. picks a Republican, they will have a 51-49 advantage. If he picks a Democrat, the margin is preserved. If he does nothing, it stays 50-49. Where's the chaos? It makes for juicy writing and analysis, but hardly rises to the level of chaos or, my favorite overused political term, constitutional crisis.

Among the law's many reforms, schools that participate in the Department of Agriculture's (USDA) school lunch program will have to make drinking water available for free to students in the cafeteria during lunch. With this change we want to make the healthy choice the easy choice for our kids.
Schools must also offer at least two choices of low fat or fat free milk. These changes are consistent with what is recommended in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, just updated earlier this year. The Dietary Guidelines are a set of science-based recommendations that include many tips for improving health and wellness.
According to the Guidelines, kids (and adults) should consume fewer sugary drinks and drink more water. Making water readily accessible and free during lunch gives kids an added incentive to choose water over other beverages.
These are just two of many changes in the law that will improve kids' access to healthy food and beverages in schools and in other places that participate in USDA's child nutrition programs.
It's important that child nutrition programs emphasize good eating habits if we want the next generation of children to be healthier than the last. Every day 32 million kids eat a school lunch and 12 million eat a school breakfast. For many children, school meals contain the most nutritious foods they eat all day. The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act is a critical part of getting kids off to a healthy start.
Please follow USDA's Food and Nutrition Service on Twitter for the latest information on the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act and more.

How about specifically noting that low-fat and fat-free milk should NOT include sugar-added chocoalate milk. If we have to add sugar to milk in order to get calcium and vitamin D into our kids, maybe we should serve carrot cake and apple pie every day, too.
I think I was just blessed as my child is the perfect weight for her size, though she is petite to begin with. But her mom and I have not had to guide her to drink plenty water and milk, this is naturally what she "wants" to drink. As her father I would love to set a good example though don't because I drink too many sodas per day and almost no straight water – not healthy!
As the owner of Beach Spa Resorts.com I am supposed to be the shining example of health, yet I often have to force myself to drink milk and water. Now my daugher Desiree, when she was but 3 years old, on one such vacation, she woke us up in the middle of the night screaming "milk-milk-milk," like it was a fire. She kept it up, "I want some milk, cold milk!" She was half asleep. Did I or her mother teach her this? Hardly! At 4 in the morning the three of sat down for a cold glass of milk in that hotel room — today she is 13 and still "our" teacher on good health!
Ms. Long,
As a mom of 3 children, a former elementary school teacher in Palm Beach County and now owner of a water company, I can not express how refreshing it is to be reading about the much needed changes in school lunch beverage options. If you need any research or business partner in the water industry, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am very passionate about what my children drink and fully understand the importance of providing healthy drink options. I resigned my position as a teacher in Palm Beach County in 2004 after starting my family. I know own a water distribution company in South Florida and partner up many organizations in my community with my relationships in the water industry. Gilda Batista Glass Bottled Water, Inc.
I think this program will really help a lot of kids especially on their nutrition. It is important that kids should learn to drink 8 glasses of water and drink milk for a strong bones. It is really a big help to us parents. :)
Drinking pasteurized milk does NOTHING for building strong bones; it actually depletes the body of calcium because it lacks the proper enzymes (killed during pasteurization) necessary for the body to process the calcium in milk. Further, pasteurized milk lacks nutrition as many of the nutrition is killed off with extremely high heat pasteurization.
On another note, since when do we allow our government (state/federal) to dictate to parents what we should/not feed our kids? I didn't know parent's relinquished their parental rights. When did that happen?

TNA star Austin Aries made an appearance on the "Busted Open" show on Sirius XM satellite radio and addressed the current locker-room morale in TNA.
On the buzz behind TNA fading:
"I know why it's gone and I'll keep that to myself. I don't control those decisions, all I can control is what's in front of me and I feel whatever you put on my tee, I'm going to knock out of the park. I've always felt that way and the decisions that are made and what's going to happen creatively that's above my pay grade as they say and quite frankly, it's not something that I want to stress myself out too much because I'm a passionate guy, I'm an opinionated guy. I love the industry and I've followed it ever since I can remember and I got to control the things that I can control and that's usually with a microphone in my hand and when I step in between the ropes."
The feeling in the TNA locker room:
"I think it's the same as it's always been. I'm sure it's like here when you guys come in and you got a great feeling in things and other weeks, your down about this, that and the other but overall, I haven't seen a huge change in the locker room. I think we all understand what the company is structured like, why things happen and again, I think a lot of the guys take the same approach I do on let's focus on what we can do and make the best of what we are given."
On the possibility of Hulk Hogan and AJ Styles leaving TNA:
"The tight knit group of wrestling fans that know the information, it might get them excited because they actually know it's behind the scenes legitimate. I think to the casual fans, it's lost to them because they do not follow it that closely and that's not why they watch the product necessarily. The thing that we all have to be mindful with the performers that are out there, we don't want to be too smart for our audience. We are a lot more plugged in and tuned to those behind the scene things but the vast majority of them are not. Sometime we can outsmart ourselves with the things that we can do out there."

A 13-year-old girl in Nandan county of Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region killed her female classmate and dismembered the body because that classmate was more beautiful than her, a court ruled.
The Nandan people's court ordered the 13-year-old's parents to compensate the victim's family 108,000 yuan ($17,520), according to a report on www.Chinacourt.org on May 7.
According to the court's judgment, the 13-year-old, named Qin, was a sixth-grader in Renguang Elementary School in Nandan, in the same class as her victim, a 12-year-old named Zhou. Qin and Zhou were good friends and neighbors for a long time. But Qin was jealous of Zhou's popularity in class and hated that Zhou openly commented on Qin's weight and looks.
On the evening of April 10, 2012, at Qin's home, Qin hit Zhou's head from behind with a stool while Zhou was watching TV, knocking her out.
Fearing Zhou may report the incident, Qin used a cook chopper, a beer bottle, a paper-cutting knife and a pair of scissors to brutally kill Zhou.
Qin cut off Zhou's head and arms and put them into plastic bags. Zhou also cleaned the bloodstains at the scene of her crime.
The public security authority affirmed Qin guilty of voluntary manslaughter. Because she is not yet 14 years old, the minimum age of criminal liability in China, the public security authority decided to detain Qin for rehabilitation for three years.
Zhou's parents appealed the court's judgment. The Hechi city Intermediate People's Court upheld the original verdict.

TEN RELATED HOW TO's:
Entity Relationship Diagram SymbolsWhen we start to speak about databases, we must always mention database structure visualization. One of the most common ways to do it is to create an entity relationship diagram, and to put appropriate symbols on it. It is important either for database projecting and for its' future maintenance. Entity Relationship Diagram describes data elements and their relationships within a database. There are a set of special symbols that depict each element of an entity relationship diagram. Entities - represents some stable components such as supplier, employee, invoice, client, etc. Relation symbols show how the entities interact. Attributes define characteristics of the relationships. Attributes can be one-to-one or many-to-many. Physical symbols is used in the physical models. They represent items such as fields, tables, types and keys. ERD physical symbols are the building material for the database. Notation lines are used to illustrate the relationships. The most common method is Crow's Feet notation. You can use ConceptDraw Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) solution to represent a database using the Entity-Relationship model.
Components of ER DiagramIt is easy to recreate any informational system structure using diagrams. There are three main components of any ER diagram: entity, attribute and relationship. Basing on these three components, one can define other, less used elements, such as weak entity or relationship, derived attribute, recursive relationship etc. This is the set of graphic elements of ERD Chen's notation. This ERD notation is used to represent an entity–relationship models. It involves the set of geometric forms: rectangles - depicting entities, ovals - representing attributes and diamonds depicting relationships assigned for first-class objects, that can have relationships and attributes of their own. Connections are displayed with arrowed lines. It is known that the Chen's ERD notation is used to show a detailed view of entities and relationships. ConceptDraw Entity-Relationship Diagram solution from the Software Development section of Solution Park provides the ability to create ERD of database structure for software development purposes using the Chen's notation elements.
ERD Symbols and MeaningsA database is a data collection, structured into some conceptual model. Two most common approaches of developing data models are UML diagrams and ER-model diagrams. There are several notations of entity-relationship diagram symbols and their meaning is slightly different. Crow's Foot notation is quite descriptive and easy to understand, meanwhile, the Chen notation is great for conceptual modeling. An entity relationship diagrams look very simple to a flowcharts. The main difference is the symbols provided by specific ERD notations. There are several models applied in entity-relationship diagrams: conceptual, logical and physical. Creating an entity relationship diagram requires using a specific notation. There are five main components of common ERD notations: Entities, Actions, Attributes, Cardinality and Connections. The two of notations most widely used for creating ERD are Chen notation and Crow foot notation. By the way, the Crow foot notation originates from the Chen notation - it is an adapted version of the Chen notation.
Express-G DiagramThe vector stencils library from the solution Information Model Diagrams contains specific data type symbols of the EXPRESS-G notation such as entity data type symbols, simple data type symbols, enumeration data type symbols, defined data type symbols, select data type symbols and specific attribute symbols for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM v12 diagramming and vector drawing software. The Information Model Diagrams solution is contained in the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
Drawing ER diagrams on a MacDatabase model is a graphic representation need at the beginning of project development. You won't have any problems with drawing ER diagrams on a Mac anymore with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM v12 application. Special libraries that contain all the symbols of both Chen's and Crow's foot notation allow you to start database modeling within a few minutes. Creating entity-relationship diagrams on Mac is fun and effortless when you use a software designed for professional ERD drawing tailored to specific characteristics of Apple OS X. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM v12 is a business diagramming software for those using OS X. The Entity-Relationship Diagrams solution for ConceptDraw has 2 libraries containing about 50 vector icons, depicting ERD symbols of the most popular Chen's and Crow's Foot Notations. The other valuable component of the solution is a collection of ERDs samples and templates that can be opened on Macs and PCs.
ConceptDraw DIAGRAM v12 ER Diagram ToolDatabase design is an important part of any project, as databases become more and more complex nowadays. To make the model more representative, entity relationship diagrams are widely used in software engineering area. These diagrams show sets of entities as rectangles connected via lines labeled with their cardinalities. This an example of the ER-diagram developed to store information regarding some online role-playing game. It includes three main elements of ER diagram: entities, relationships and attributes. The entities, attributes and relationships on this ER-diagram is depicted according to the Chen's notation. Chen's notation for Entity Relationship diagrams admits using of rectangles to depict entities, ovals for attributes and ,at least, diamonds to show relationships . ConceptDraw Entity-Relationship Diagrams solution was applied as ERD software to create this diagram.
Design Element: Chen for Entity Relationship Diagram - ERDIt is very difficult to get into database model idea without any examples. To create one, you can use Chen's notation for Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERD) and try to see all the peculiarities yourself. This notation describes entities and relations as basic geometric shapes like rectangles and diamonds. Chen notation for Entity-relationship diagrams is used for designing relational databases. It depicts the database entities as a set of subjects. For example events, people, ideas, etc. All entities has common characteristics (attributes). Any object of the system is identified as the sole and unique. The name of entity should indicate the class or type of the the whole object, not a given example. The connection commonly represents a relationship between entities. Conceptdraw Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERD) solution provides the libraries with ready-to-use ERD element fitting Chen's notation objects and relationships.
Types of FlowchartsA flowchart is a simple but very functional tool when it comes to understanding a workflow or to removing unnecessary stages from a process. When drawing flowcharts, keep in mind that there are four common types of flowcharts, like document flowcharts and data flowcharts that show control over a data or document flow over a system. To show controls on a physical level, use system flowcharts. In addition, to show controls in a program, you can draw a program flowchart. This flowchart diagram represents the piece of an article editing process, that involves the author and editor. It was created using the Basic Flowchart notation that consists from the basic flowchart symbols. The start and the end of the process are indicated with "Terminator" symbols. The "Process" symbols show the action steps consisting from making edits and searching for a compromise, when the author does not agree with the suggestions of the editor . The "Process" symbol is the general symbol in process flowcharts. The "Decision" symbol indicates a branching in the process flow. There are two branches indicated by a Decision shape in the current flowchart (Yes/No, Disagree/Agree). This basic flowchart can be used as a repeating unit in the workflow diagram describing the working process of some editorial office.
Anyone Have an ERD Symbols Quick Reference?ERD drawing becomes easier with predesigned entity relationship symbols, work flow shapes, entity relationship stencils. All variety of ERD symbols you may need for ERDs design is packed into libraries and templates from Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) Solution for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM v12 diagramming and vector drawing software. But anyone have an ERD symbols quick reference? Detailed reference information for them is represented at the tables.

The biggest fear many people have about using Google Docs is security.
Specifically, people are scared to death that, by publishing their confidential information to some web-based server somewhere, they'll end up sharing that information with the world.
The worldwide publication of Google Docs stolen from Twitter just made that fear a high-profile reality:
An administrative employee here at Twitter was targeted and her personal email account was hacked. From the personal account, we believe the hacker was able to gain information which allowed access to this employee's Google Apps account which contained Docs, Calendars, and other Google Apps Twitter relies on for sharing notes, spreadsheets, ideas, financial details and more within the company.
Twitter founder Biz Stone quickly tried to protect Google Apps from blame ("This attack had nothing to do with any vulnerability in Google Apps"), but this certainly won't help the perception that Google Apps aren't ready for corporate primetime.
Also, the explanation likely won't reassure everyone: The "vulnerability" in Google Apps as opposed to Microsoft Office documents is that a single ID and password can allow anyone to log into private apps from anywhere in the world.
Google has had trouble gaining traction with Google Apps beyond free usage. This hack will likely make companies that were thinking of ponying up for the premium (paid) version think twice.

FORT MYERS, FL-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's softball team concluded their spring trip when they lost a doubleheader to Amherst and Hendrix at the Gene Cusic Classic Friday. The Corsairs lost to Amherst, 5-1, and fell to Hendrix, 3-1, at the Lee County Sports Complex.
Freshman center fielder Olivia Kenyon (Canton, MA/Canton HS) had three hits in as many at bats for UMD, senior catcher Diane Barry (Norwood, MA/Norwood HS) contributed a hit, and junior third baseman Breanna Marcyoniak (Westfield, MA/Westfield HS) drove in the Corsairs' run with a first inning fielder's choice.
Senior right hander Ashley Felaccio (Acushnet, MA/New Bedford HS/Massasoit CC) started and took the loss, yielding five hits and four unearned runs in three innings before senior right-hander Brittany Eldridge (Raynham, MA/Bridgewater-Raynham HS) finished up.
Eldridge had a pair of hits in the nightcap, while freshman outfielder Samantha Gregoire (Dartmouth, MA/Dartmouth HS), sophomore shortstop Emily Pontes (Tewksbury, MA/Essex Agricultural HS), freshman right fielder Becky Williams (Hope Valley, RI/Chariho HS) and Kenyon each had a hit. Kenyon drove in UMD's run in the second inning with a double, and she also started and pitched the first five innings, allowing all three runs and taking the loss before Felaccio came in for the sixth.
"Even though we lost, the performances were encouraging," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Amy Sasin. "We did some things well, but we just couldn't capitalize on all of our opportunities."
UMass Dartmouth is now 1-9, while Amherst is 12-0 and Hendrix is 9-7. The Corsairs will return to action when they visit Massachusetts Maritime for a doubleheader Tuesday.

Paul Scholes: Juan Mata is the best player in the Premier League
PAUL SCHOLES has praised Manchester United's signing of Chelsea playmaker Juan Mata - and claims the Spaniard tops the billing in England.
Mata joined United for a club-record £37.1million fee in January and has already impressed Old Trafford legend Scholes.
The retired midfielder believes United have signed the Premier League's top performer in Mata.
"For the last couple of years Mata has probably been the best player in the league," Scholes said.
"We had to pay a lot of money for him and we were very lucky that he wasn't in Chelsea's plans, and only we can benefit from him now.
For the last couple of years Mata has probably been the best player in the league
"Hopefully he can have a strong end to the season and he can help us climb the table."
Scholes dismissed comparisons between himself and Mata, but believes the competition brought to the club by the 25-year-old is a positive.
"I don't think he's similar to me," Scholes added. "He's obviously a quality player but he's not a central-midfielder, he's a player who likes to play in the number 10 role.
"It's going to be difficult for the manager now as we've got five players vying for two positions. That can only be a healthy thing for competition though as the two forwards always need to impress because they know the talent waiting to take their place."

Korres Yoghurt Line Products Review
I remember when I first started getting into natural cosmetics, Korres was often recommended to me by all of my friends back home, in Europe. The brand wasn't available in to me until recently when we finally joined the civilized world and Sephora opened its doors in Montreal, a few years ago, and until I saw that Pharmaprix (Shopper's Drug Mart) started caring the line as well.
The Yoghurt Line intrigued me, as I have used the ingredient often in my many homemade beauty recipes. My grandma used to swear that yoghurt and sour cream are the secret to her skin and when I was in Greece my mom would have me slather the yummy goodness all over my hair, face and body and my skin was positively glowing.
Yoghurt Instant Soothing Gel ($49.50)
The Greek Gods must have heard my prayers, because this gel saved my face. My skin was a wreck when I started using this product, being dry and oily at the same time and flaking like crazy. The joys of winter! After trying, in vain, to bring some sort of balance and moisture to my skin by using the most heavy-duty moisturizers and oils in my arsenal, I gave up. Enter the Yoghurt Soothing Gel. My skin tingles slightly for a few minutes post-application but soon after it actually feels soothed surprisingly comfortable.
My skin slurps this up, and I love using it under make-up. It's very light, my skin never get oily or uncomfortable during the day and I got no break-outs so far, which is my main skincare concern when switching up my skincare routine.
This gel made me realize that my skin was never dry, just very dehydrated. Basically, it doesn't lack oil, but it lacks water. I love the feel of it, the texture, the way it gently keeps my skin fresh, clear and hydrated.
Milk Proteins Foam Cream Cleanser ($26)
The first thing I noticed is the lack of harsh detergents on the ingredient list. Then I noticed all the good stuff in it; stuff like milk proteins, willow bark (natural salicylic acid), honeysuckle flower extract etc. It's a very gentle cleanser, ideal for my morning routine, when I don't really want a deep clean and all I need a gentle wash allowing me to prep my skin for the day without drying the hell out of it. I use it with my trusted Clarisonic and it foams beautifully, just the way I like it. I have to say, this is one of the best natural cleansers I have yet to use. I actually feels it cleans the skin, leaves no weird residue behind, it feels nice and nourishing and replaced my harsh anti-acne wash with no problem. I do have an issue with the price, I understand it's natural and I appreciate the quality of the ingredients in a product but 26$ is a bit out of my range for facial cleansers.
Yoghurt Body Butter ($33)
This is a very rich and indeed soothing moisturizing body cream. I was afraid it'll be thick and tacky once I read the word body butter, but it penetrates very fast into my skin and it smells really nice. I love using this on my legs, which get crocodile-dry every single freaking winter. I used to dread the whole moisturizing process as I had to reserve about half an hour with most rich creams, waiting for them to get absorbed properly before getting dressed. This is an easy to use, simple yet rich skin moisturizer that feels superb on the skin.
So far I have to say I am quite taken with Korres, and their products do live up to the hype. I love discovering clean natural cosmetics that perform well and I am looking forward to trying more products from the brand.

A Little Working, A Little Cruising
By Liz Tosoni
Keci Burcu, Southwest Turkey
It was 1994, and after nine years of cruising and working away from Canada, it was a bit of a culture shock to come back home. Should we "give it a go" and see how we fair at work in Canada again, we wondered, or buy another boat and sail away in another direction? We had a pocketful of money from our time in Japan and could go either way, but it was a time of indecision, even confusion... a major crossroad.
We were boat-less, job-less and home-less, and still mourning the loss of my sister, who'd recently died of cancer. To make some sense of things, we compromised by buying a truck and camper, and went driving, meandering over thousands of miles of North America, visiting and enjoying some of the fantastic parks and amazing landscapes of our own continent.
While visiting old cruising pals Craig and Gigette in San Diego, California, though, we got bitten by the "boat bug" again. I contacted my former employer, Prentice Hall, about job prospects and was fortunate to be given back my old job as a textbook sales representative, although in a different division. Oh boy, that meant commitment, and commitment was a little scary.
My new manager said, "We'd expect the person to stay for some time." Okay, we can do that. After all, "some time" is rather vague, isn't it? I actually lasted two years at the job before we got "itchy keelitis" again and sailed away..
We bought another boat, which we lived aboard, in Vancouver, and Tom formed a small charter company, "Cansail Adventures." My sales job allowed me enough spare time in the summer months to assist Tom and we ran the company for six consecutive summers, two aboard our newly purchased boat, Feel Free, a Spencer 51, and four summers aboard a Sampson 53. The little business was a perfect marriage of two of our great interests -- sailing and teaching. During the first summer of operation, Feel Free acted as the research vessel for a whale-research program on the northern B.C. coast. The program was headed by two young Ph.D. biologists from the University of British Columbia. They did the marketing and brought groups of ecotourists from all over the world and all walks of life to join and assist them in their research for a week at a time, charging them a moderate fee for the experience. Every day without fail Pacific Gray Whales were seen.
We acted as boat operators and sailing instructors, taking the whale enthusiasts to the feeding grounds by day as they excitedly spotted the grand behemoths, recording time and location of the "blows," and identifying them by marks on their flukes. It was an indescribable pleasure to sail with a light breeze on a sunny afternoon in lockstep with a 40-ton, barnacle-encrusted "friendly" alongside. We escorted them along steep-to cliff faces under nests of circling bald eagles and along mussel-lined islands and islets populated by harbor seals, gulls, cormorants, and red-billed oystercatchers.
The following five summers were spent in Vancouver running "Cruise and Learn" day sails. During the intervening winter months, we sailed Feel Free to Mexico and then Hawaii, allowing us to work for four months and sail for eight months of the year. It was cruising on the installment plan.
There were about 30 language schools in the city at the time, kids coming from all over the world to study English and enjoy some sightseeing in a new land. As part of their extra-curricular activities, they joined our boat to learn new English terminology as well as how to raise sails and steer the boat.
They saw the sights of Vancouver from the sea while enjoying a sunset barbeque on the bay. The boat was festooned with labels: mast, boom, winch, cleat, wheel, cockpit, and so on, to encourage the young people to use the new language as they took part. While passing city landmarks, we'd gather them together to share ancient Indian legends associated with the location.
Teaching in Hong Kong was another entirely different work experience. We left Feel Free in dry storage in Gladstone, Australia, having sailed there for the second time, via Hawaii, the Marshall and Kiribati Islands, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia. We flew to Hong Kong and lived on the 23rd floor of a high rise overlooking Hong Kong harbor. In fact, it was the first time for us to live on terra firma in 17 years. Typhoons often appeared there, but the experience was always stress-free, compared to the fire drills we were used to in Samoa, Guam, or Japan -- when typhoons made their presence known..
The job was a two-year contract at a government high school under the "NET (Native English Teacher) Scheme." I'd been interviewed and hired while in Australia and the Hong Kong government took care of our moving expenses. Tom didn't yet have a job when we left Oz but we were pretty confident he could get one once we were there. My school turned out to be one with average-to-below-average students and it was a real worry when my department head casually mentioned "they are poor in all subjects, especially English" just before classes began.
Reconciling Hong Kong's strict, exam focused, teacher-centered approach to teaching, with the open, oral, activity-oriented, student-centered style that I'd developed over the years, turned out to be the greatest challenge of all, especially when dealing with the younger pupils. As always, it worked out, a way was found, and it was gratifying to read a 6th Form (12th grade) student's charming journal entry:
"Last week, I have taken an interview with Liz. Though the interview is part of our schoolwork, that was run under a very relaxing atmosphere. From the interview, I not only practiced the use of English, and interviewing technique, but I also knew more about her background and her objective of being an English teacher in Hong Kong. In fact, I am impressed by her experience, because I used to think that taking a world tour with a boat is just a story in the Hollywood movie. But she brought this story to her life, and was shared with her husband. I am so envy with her fantastic memory. Besides, I am also impressed by her objective of teaching us English. She told us that she wishes to bring a new way of teaching to us, she wants to promote self-learning, and she intends to train our courage and confidence in learning English. This is actually something missing in today's Hong Kong English teaching syllabus."
Tom was the "NET" at an elementary school. He had the advantage of a local co-teacher in every class so discipline was never a concern. He became a specialist in fun games and activities, songs, and "Big Book" readings, the young tikes absorbing the language like sponges.
Life in an apartment in Hong Kong, though, is the antithesis of life on a sailboat. The noise, pollution, crowds, and smells became rather hard to take after the initial thrill of arrival in this exciting city. Escaping to the hills on the many nearby islands every weekend kept our sanity. The SARS outbreak didn't help matters either. Imagine wearing a surgical mask while trying to teach conversational English to a class of students, all wearing masks as well! It sounds comical now, but that period was actually frightening. Every evening, we were glued to the TV to find out how many more deaths had occurred that day. We couldn't have been happier to return to our simple life aboard Feel Free.
The next season we enjoyed fast, boisterous sailing over the top of Australia, then a relaxed passage across the Timor Sea to the Indonesian archipelago of komodo dragons and orangutans. Then, it was on to Singapore and the Straits of Malacca, Malaysia, and, finally, Thailand in time for the Indian Ocean tsunami. (We'll tell you more about that in a future BoatUS log.)
Probably the most fun we had while teaching English was in Xiamen China where we were in charge of organizing and running a Summer English Camp for 10-18 year olds. These jobs, we got entirely through the Internet. Feel Free was left behind in Phuket, Thailand for that gig.
In China, the idea of sailing a boat around the world was a concept totally inconceivable to our students. We tried to give them a glimpse of what it was like through pictures and words. Their concerns were the usual: "It is too dangerous!" "You may die in a storm!" "Are you afraid of pirates?" "What food can you eat?" "Your family will miss you!" "What about sharks?"
You've probably noted by now that teaching has been our main source of income throughout our cruising career. (I must add, though, that a healthy stock market also helped the cause for awhile.) We've discovered over the years that teaching and sailing go hand in hand. Not only has teaching allowed us to "support our habit" financially, it has also added immense enrichment to the experience of ever-so-slowly making our way under sail around this great wide globe. If you are inclined to the teaching profession and want to go cruising, you might think about getting a TESL certificate. Look at some of the "teaching English abroad" websites for starters, and you'll be amazed at all the jobs that are available around the world for English teachers. We've found that employers usually view the unusual lifestyle as a positive influence on people. They also think "old fogies" like we are (58 and 56), rightly or wrongly, might have a bit of wisdom to share.
This past season found Feel Free and her crew sailing across the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden, through the Red Sea, on to the Mediterranean and Turkey, and we haven't worked for a while. We're in the European Union now, and it's illegal for us to work here, so it'll be interesting to see what's next. We'll keep you posted. See you in two weeks, here on BoatUS.com

Realty stocks can give good returns: Tulsian
(My Original Blog Post: -*http://www.onlineequitycalls.com/2008/12/realty-stocks-can-give-good-returns-tulsian/)
Investment Advisor, SP Tulsian is of the view that if one has 2 year holding vision, realty stocks can give good returns.
"If one take the call on all realty stocks, they are all virtually ruling at 5-10% off their peak, I am not trying to say that the peak was justified but if one see the erosion having taken place in the valuation of all these stocks, I do not think - yes there are some leverage concern, there are some repayment problems but the land has not got vanished."
He further added, "If they had the land in the form of SEZ or maybe in tier III cities, I would have practically valued them at zero, I wouldn't have taken them at all into the valuation but if they have the land bank maybe in tier I and tier II cities, which has been the case with most of these realty companies which you have named or whether we talk of the top-10 companies, I do not think that these kind of valuations are justified."
"Definitely there is lull in the realty market, things are going to remain quite low for the next six-twelve months in terms of even achieving the topline or even achieving the volume but I think sooner or later they will bounce back. So as I have said that probably if you have a call of two years on Indian Hotel probably the same parameters or same theory is applied for realty stocks also if you have that kind of holding vision for these stocks of at least twenty-four months probably they can give you a very good value. But on a concentrated basis you may not expect or may not get any return for next twelve months but yes thereafter bunch the return will come in one go maybe after twelve-eighteen months."

We can't have the Medicaid cuts. Medicaid is the backbone of community living. It pays for services. It gives people with I/DD the healthcare they need. Less Medicaid means more people in institutions, more people quitting work to care for a relative with a disability, and more people going without healthcare. Medicaid cuts and caps would wreck some lives and end others. Rural Georgia would suffer the most. That can't happen. We can't let the freedom to live a full life in the community slip away.
You're the best hope for thousands Americans with disabilities because you can do something about this. It's time to remind your Senators that they work for you. Tie up their phone lines for as long as it takes. Send letters and emails. Bother them on social media until they block you. Tell them to leave Medicaid alone.

I've always been hesitant to try harem styled pants but decided to take a leap and buy a pair since they look so comfortable. I decided on this pair since I loved the print. I've paired it with a t-shirt and a loose white sweater for casual daytime looks. To dress up these pants, I paired it with a form fitting top to balance out the loose, relaxed fit of the pants. I love this top because of the unexpected cut-out detail on the back. Ever since buying these pants, I've fallen in love with the style and can't stop buying them! They're versatile and easy to dress up/down if you know how to balance them with the right tops that are proportional to your figure. I would avoid wearing them with button-ups because it could make your figure look "boxy" or "frumpy". If you aren't comfortable with crop tops, I'd suggest pairing it with low-neck fitted tee and a statement necklace for a dressier look.
Thank you so much for reading!
