It is possible that the main title of the report Ring Chromosome 4 is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Ring chromosome 4 is a rare disorder that is typically characterized by loss (deletion) of genetic material from both ends of the 4th chromosome and joining of the chromosomal ends to form a ring. Associated symptoms and findings may vary greatly, depending on the location of lost genetic material and/or other factors. Some affected infants may have a low birth weight; growth retardation; delays in the acquisition of skills requiring the coordination of mental and physical activities (psychomotor retardation); an abnormally small head (microcephaly); a broad, "beaked" nose; and/or various additional physical abnormalities that are present at birth (congenital anomalies). However, cases have also been reported in which ring chromosome 4 is primarily associated with growth retardation, with no major physical anomalies and normal psychomotor development. ring chromosome 4 is usually caused by spontaneous (de novo) errors very early in the development of the embryo that appear to occur randomly for unknown reasons (sporadically).

In Japan at the time, an extra track was added to CDs to make them a more desirable purchase which explains why the Japanese release of Pop included an extra track, Holy Joe (Guilty Mix). Holy Joe was only performed live during U2's press conference held in a Manhattan K-mart when they announced their tour dates. Holy Joe can also be found as a b-side on many of the Discotheque singles. In Malaysia Pop was censored by beeping out the expletive in Wake Up Dead Man.
POP entered the US charts at No 1. It also reached the top spot in the UK, Ireland, Denmark, Finland, Holland, Italy, Japan, Norway, Hong Kong, Poland, Australia, Germany, France, New Zealand, Canada, Austria, Belgium, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Argentina, Chile, Czech Rep., Iceland and Greece. In Ireland it stayed on the charts for 46 weeks The CRIA certified it Triple Platinum in Canada. Other accolades saw Pop grab a nomination for a Grammy for Best Rock/Pop Album and being voted the No. 1 Album and Album Sleeve in the Hot Press reader's poll.
'U2 are always looking to capture a moment of inspiration and then you craft the song into that. You might spend a whole day jamming, then you'll get one of those moments and people will come into the control room and start working on it straight away.' Flood, producer.
'My role was the aggravator. I was there to challenge. To turn them on. ...They knew they wanted to make a fuck-off album. I knew they wanted to make something different. They had this hunger to make new music. ....Pop is a magic album. I listen to it, there's music there, songs, beats. I'm glad I had something to do with it...' Howie B, 'vibemaster'
'Edge I'd describe as a gardener, larry as a chef, adam as a keen polo expert and bono as a very enthusiastic beachcomber. Fucking characters. Funny as fuck.' Howie B
Production Credits Flood Additional production: Howie B., Steve Osborne Recorded: Hanover, Windmill Lane, and The Works, Dublin. South Beach Studios, Miami.
'I thought 'pop' was a term of abuse, it seemed sort of insulting and lightweight. I didn't realise how cool it was. Because some of the best music does have a lightweight quality, it has a kind of oxygen in it, which is not to say it's emotionally shallow. We've had to get the brightly coloured wrapping paper right, because what's underneath is not so sweet.'
'It's very difficult to pin this record down. It's not got any identity because it's got so many.'
Edge in Propaganda 25
'Each song is its own little world, that's what this record is going to be like I think. If God will Send His Angels is like a Temptations song - something like that would not normally find itself on the same record as a hardcore rocking song like Last Night On Earth. Then Velvet Dress is like a lounge classic while Holy Joe - b-side of Discotheque - is a garage tune. Do you Feel Loved is like a dance song and Gone is a guitar song, a rock guitar song.'
Bono in Propaganda 25
'The themes are love, desire and faith in crisis - the usual stuff.'
13 June, 2018
Unloved in 1997, highly appreciated 2 deThe longest wait (4 years) for an album at the time, but high expectations remained unfulfilled. On the Popmart tour, U2 should have opened with Discotheque, Mofo is the weakest concert opener of all their tours

Happy 20th to PopOn this 20th anniversary of Pop's release, let me say "Thank you, U2," for adding a wonderful set of songs to my life's soundtrack. Like No Line on the Horizon, the Pop album gets slagged but this U2 fan quite likes it. It seems too many reached for this album, but their ears could not grab it. Here's to more appreciation of this gem in the next 20. Do you feel loved Pop songs? You should.
03 March, 2017
Happy 20th birthday POP!!!Unbelievable... 20 years ago now! It was the start of my U2 fan career. :-) Still a fantastic album and well aged album. Unfortunately one of the most underestimated and unloved (even by the band) releases of U2. Which you'd play some songs live during the JT30 Tour...
04 December, 2014
Love POP !!!!Great Album !!!
13 September, 2013
U2 make another one of these!best U2 album in the world....ever!

Maybe Chip Roame is right after all.
The highly caffeinated and enthusiastic proprietor of Tiburon Strategic advisors is known for his sunny predictions for the RIA channel, claiming at industry conferences and his own popular CEO summit twice annually that it's the only real area of advisor growth, although recent studies are split on the conclusion.
While it hardly proves Roame's argument, today's announcement that Gupta Wealth Management is leaving UBS for the RIA space certainly puts wind in its sails. San Diego-based Gupta, with $540 million in assets under management, will custody primarily with Schwab Advisor Services. Led by Ajay K. Gupta, the firm advises 119 families.
The firm said it will continue to serve high-net-worth clientele in the San Diego area as well as San Francisco, Boston, New York, Sonoma and other major metropolitan areas. Clients include Forbes 400 families, high-net-worth individuals, corporate executives and business owners.
"When people told me I was crazy for moving from Canada to San Diego 13 years ago, I trusted my instincts, and I did so again when leaving Merrill in 2008," Gupta said in a statement announcing the move. "And in both instances the decision and timing was correct for my clients. The RIA path is clearly the best option for us as it significantly expands the services we can provide to clients while saving them money in the process.
Key drivers for Gupta Wealth Management included "accessing a highly dynamic and innovative technology platform as well as the power of choice that true independence brings with it."
"My father was a financial advisor, and inspired me at a young age to work hard and take care of others, as he did for me and my siblings," Gupta continued. "At the age of 12, I started exploring the world of finance, and have been learning, evolving and growing as an advisor and a person ever since. I value the experiences of the past, but we must remain focused on what lies ahead and is best for our clients, and this move represents that."

Maybe it takes a thrice-married American television writer to explain why Prince Charles and Camilla make such a perfect couple.
Tracy McMillan is the author of Why You're not Married . . . Yet, a book based on her straightforward explanation for why beautiful, stylish, high-achieving women remain single. Women such as Charles's first wife, Diana, the Princess of Wales.
"It seems like Princess Diana was almost 'cast' in the role of Princess of Wales. It's as if the royal family went shopping for a bride the way you'd go shopping for, say, a sofa," says MacMillan, 47.
"The problem? No matter how beautiful it was, as far as Charles was concerned, that sofa was never truly comfortable for him . . . nor did it fit with the rest of the furniture."
Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, was once the reviled "Rottweiler" mistress of the future king while he was married to the most photogenic princess in the world.
But Diana was a few things Camilla was not. Camilla is obviously quite comfortable in her own well-upholstered skin. She shies away from drama and retaliation. No matter how many stones were thrown, Camilla has always shown patience and restraint. Diana, not so much, even as she made shy doe-eyes at the camera.
"With Camilla, it's clear that Prince Charles chose from the heart. And what's interesting is that the heart connection never wears out," says MacMillan, who has written for Mad Men and United States of Tara and got her start as how-to-make-yourself-marriage-material maven when she wrote the original Why You're Not married . . . Yet article for the Huffington Post. The article became one of the most-viewed articles of all time.
"Even after 20 years, including other marriages, the love they had for each other didn't fade, says McMillan. "Because in a great relationship, love actually isn't like a glass of water, where you drink it and then it's gone. It's more like a spring, that somehow keeps renewing itself."
The vicissitudes of Charles and Camilla's relationship are well-known. And it was perhaps the difficulties that they had to overcome that helped forge their bond.
They met in 1970 at a polo match, the sort of horsey, country event both enjoy. "My great-grandmother was your great-great-grandfather's mistress. So how about it?" Camilla supposedly quipped to Charles.
The reference is to Alice Keppel, Camilla's penniless — and married — ancestor who was mistress to the future Edward VII. The two were 26 years apart in age and Edward was prey to mood swings, but Alice's supportive nature was always able to bring him back from the brink of his dark moods. When Edward was on his deathbed, Queen Alexandra arranged for Alice to see him.
This supportive role is one that Camilla also plays in her relationship with Charles. And the Alice Keppel quip (whether it was ever actually offered, which is reportedly debatable) is an illustration of the power of Camilla's personality, which is very slowly being revealed to the public.
Charles regularly consults with Camilla and she enthuses about his ideas for projects ranging from composting to organic gardening. They both love country life, Scotland and opera. Camilla's staff like her. Friends have been loyal and discreet for an incredibly long time.
More important, Camilla has managed to keep it zipped for decades. She didn't even tell her closest friends when she began her relationship with Charles more than 40 years ago. Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, appears to have taken a leaf from Camilla's book of watertight discretion.
Observers say the couple have an affectionate, comfortable relationship. Emma Soames, granddaughter of Winston Churchill who observed the two at Clarence House, wrote in The Telegram that the pair's relationship is "a Good Thing."
"Their chemistry is good: They both light up in each other's presence and they evidently share a common language — there was even a bit of PDA (public display of affection), which really took me by surprise," she wrote.
The hallmark of a good marriage is not whether Brad and Angelina would be cast in the biopic.
There's a lot to be said for the power of attachment, says Dr. Sue Johnson, a University of Ottawa psychology professor who has worked with and studied couples in distressed relationships for 30 years.
"It didn't fit that romantic fairy tale. But it felt right to me," says Johnson. "If people have the chance to connect, they will fight for each other. He had to buck the entire establishment and his mother to be with her. He insisted on marrying her. My sense is that they care for each other very deeply."
Johnson said she believes that people are naturally monogamous, but sometimes are frustrated in finding that bond. For some people, affairs are the result of unbearable loneliness.
"It's hard to live without an emotional connection. If you don't find that with the person you're with, then you're a sitting duck for an affair," says Johnson, the author of Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love.
People all need a safe bond, she says. These bonds are the same as between mother and child. They are our main way with dealing with our own vulnerability. The more emotionally connected you are to our partners, the more separate you can be. Being different is not a threat to the bond.
"Privileged people are just human beings. With privilege comes a lot of loneliness. You need that bond more than ever."
With Charles and Diana, it was about the roles they were in, not who there were as people, says Johnson.
"The real fairy-tale illusion was the marriage with Diana. It was an arranged marriage between an aristocratic virgin and the man who would be king. It has been going on for centuries," she says.
"Charles agreed to an arranged marriage to do his duty, but his attachment was always to Camilla. Diana could not compete with a deep sense of connection and intimacy."
The hallmark of Camilla's character has been patience.
In 1993, after revelations of adultery and the publication of journalist Andrew Morton's book Diana: Her True Story, which chronicled Diana's suicide attempts and eating disorders, Camilla was reviled as a homewrecker. A fellow shopper pelted Camilla with breadrolls in a parking lot outside a supermarket in Wiltshire.
Four years later in 1997, a television poll of 100,000 British viewers found that two-thirds said Charles should be disqualified as heir if he married Camilla. Diana died in a car crash in Paris a few months later, and Charles and Camilla were not actually married until 2005. She has slowly befriended her stepsons, and even advised Kate Middleton before her marriage to Prince William.
Morton, who has gone on to write celebrity biographies and William & Catherine: Their Story, notes Camilla clearly makes Charles happy, "though many people were bemused that she played such a prominent role at William and Catherine's wedding in so far as signing the register," he says.
"She has made an effort to bring Catherine into the fold and people can sense that she has a good heart in spite of the problems she caused."
Last month, on their seventh anniversary, Camilla was made a Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order. The honour is in the personal gift of the Queen and was in recognition of Camilla's hard work, but some suspected it was a signal of the Queen's pleasure at seeing her son so happy.
Camilla even gets Morton's respect.
"She also spoke up for freedom of the media which, given the harassment she has faced over the years, won her a lot of converts and praise in Britain."
Finally, the fact that William gets along well with Camilla undercuts a lot of potential criticism, says Morton.
"He is the living embodiment of Diana. If he can forgive and move on, so must the rest of us. At least, that is the underlying message."


text: Tuesday, October 02, 2012 UK Researchers Identify Back Pain Gene Researchers at King's College London have identified a gene linked to age-related degeneration of the intervertebral discs, a common cause of lower back pain. Back pain costs the United Kingdom an estimated £7billion ($11 billion in US dollars) a year due to sick leave and treatment costs. Lumbar disc degeneration (LDD) is inherited in 65%-80% of people with the condition, suggesting that genes play a key role. Until now, the genetic cause of lower back pain associated with LDD was unknown, says King's. For this study, scientists compared MRI images of the spine in 4,600 individuals with genome-wide association data, which mapped the genes of all the volunteers. They identified that the gene PARK2 was implicated in people with degenerate discs and could affect the speed at which they deteriorate. The researchers say the results show that the gene may be switched off in people with LDD. Although it is still unclear how this might happen, it is thought that environmental factors, such as lifestyle and diet, could trigger this switch by making changes known as epigenetic modifications to the gene. The study was published online September 19 in Annals of Rheumatic Diseases.

OpenOffice.org 1.1.3-kde
OpenOffice.org 1.1.3 with KDE integration is now available for download. It also features a lot of other improvements over the stock OOo (including the GNOME integration bits; but do not be afraid, it does not link against Gtk+ in KDE, and vice versa), because it is built from the ooo-build codebase.
Download: Installation set for Linux i386 (~80MB).
Known problems:
The project's homepage http://kde.openoffice.org is a bit outdated at the moment, but the work still continues. The main concern is OOo 2.0 now, see the ooo-build ChangeLog.
Help of an artist is needed for OOo 2.0: It contains a lot of new icons, the default ones are not acceptable for modern KDE desktop. Please drop me a mail if you are able (and willing) to draw some of them. :-)
Congratulations, Jan. I had no idea you could build OOo to support both KDE and GNOME at the same time! Does it use GNOME icons under GNOME and KDE icons under KDE too?
Is this what Novell Linux Desktop uses?
By ac at Fri, 2004/11/26 - 6:00am
Re: wow!
No, this version has just KDE icons. NLD version has Gnome icons in Gnome and KDE in KDE, and more features (gnome-vfs, Evolution connector, ...)
By Jan Holesovsky at Fri, 2004/11/26 - 6:00am
Re: wow!
Cool. So OOo in NLD is also KDE-integrated. You get KDE NWF and filedialog? Any plans to support KDE IO/Slaves?
Jan, you just plain rock!
By ac at Fri, 2004/11/26 - 6:00am
Re: wow!
Perhaps I'm info-blind, but, does this "KDE 'Version'" include Crystal only or does it actually inherit the icon theme that the (L)user is currently using? (I'm sorry Everaldo!) I, personally, can't stand Crystal. I use Noia-Warm. Would OOo built on my main machine (gentoo) use Noia icons, or Crystal?
I'm sorry to bother you about a trivial a question as this, but I hadn't noticed a better place to post the question.
Thanx, all!

KDE runs smoothly on FreeBSD! I would love to see a kde-ized version of openoffice running on FreeBSD :)

"The new systems that build their packages from ooo-build (e.g. SUSE 9.2) do not need this package; check whether you have the KDE file dialog in your OOo before installing."
If SUSE packaged it, why not make those RPMs available at
By John SUSE Freak at Fri, 2004/11/26 - 6:00am
Re: RPMs
Because they are SUSE 9.2-specific? The RPMs will become available when the whole SUSE 9.2 RPMs become available (aka SUSE 9.2 FTP Version).
Re: RPMs
Kind of, I'm using OO.org 9.1 rpms in SUSE 8.2... I'm not sure there is anything particular about SUSE OO.org rpms. But yes of course your answer is right, I just thought of it because I keep checking the FTP server for OO.org 9.2 rpms...

Hi Daniele.
I just did the following, as root:

Are you using Debian woody (stable)?

Re: bug ?
I'm using sarge (testing) , that is to be upgraded ... i sw some packages are considered stable...
I've tryied several different installations .. also just installing it as common user, to use it for ex i run ./soffice, i saw the splash and than as i tryed to run an app (swriter) or whatever... it crashed.
I'll install it again and i'll report the konqueor's error exactly
By daniele at Tue, 2004/11/30 - 6:00am
Re: bug ?
OOo chashes for me when I run ./soffice too.
What occurs if you start swriter this way?
By Marcelo Barreto Nees at Tue, 2004/11/30 - 6:00am
Re: bug ?
Weel i found the reason.... it crashed if i used swriter or ./swriter, i could run soffice and ./soffice but when i chosed new file opening draw, swriter impress and so on ... then it crashed.... i thought it was becouse of the windows style , and kcontrol --- windows style --- changeg in "keramic" --- and it worked . the style i used was
under kde 3.2.
Now i'm using a different baghira style (0.5.2) and it works perfectly.
i was thinking It would be nice if in the next release of kde-openoffice was integrated the "top mac style menu" ...
And what about icons.... but this is another story....
thanks marcelo it was a good stimulus to know someone was using this OOo under debian.

Re: bug ?
Baghira is also responsible for several other filed application crash reports at bugs.kde.org. Better don't use it.

yes but i love it.... now it works perfectly ...

Re: bug ? (IMPORTANT, PLEASE FIX THIS)
Yes, I noticed that too. Looks like when passing non english character file names from KFileDialog (?) on to OOo to actually open the file the name gets mangled due to some charset incompatibillity and an error message is produced.
If I try to open a file named "file_with_ö.sxw" in my home dir I get an OOo error dialog saying:
"Error loading document file:///home/bjorn/file_with_%F6.sxw: /home/bjorn/file_with_%F6.sxw does not exist."
Hope this helps the one who will solve this for all us non english users.. I'm to lazy/stupid/lazy and lazy.. ;)

Re: bug ? (IMPORTANT, PLEASE FIX THIS)
Giuseppe said to me :
There is a bug report for this in qa.mandriva.com, and sound a problem in the kde filepicker, but the same happens into 2.0.1-1mdk but I don't have a patch (and the same bug seems persisting even in latest milestone m156).
Note that you can change the dialog box either from env var:
export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde
export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome
before running ooffice2.0, either from menu Tools/Option/General => Use OpenOffice.org dialogs.

Mac support
Just a funny brainwave, but as Qt is available for the Mac as well, could this ease an OpenOffice.org port for the Mac that doesn't suck like the X11-version does?
By Arend jr. at Sat, 2004/11/27 - 6:00am
Re: Mac support
Last I heard 2.0 was supposed to have native mac support. I hope it's true.. The X11 version is barely usable with only one mouse button.

Fedora Core 3
> The KDE file dialog seems to hang OOo on Fedora Core 3 when it has Preview on (F11 in the dialog), but most probably it is a Fedora bug (treats unrecognized file types as sound).
The same bug happens here with Fedora's openoffice.org-kde-1.1.2-10.i386.rpm package and selecting eg OOo file types. Must be a messed up KDE packages.
Has anyone already made a series of *good*, *meaningful* screenshots of this killer thingie?
Could these be made available publicly? So that we can point the press and all interested parties to them?
That breakthrough is really, really beautiful. But marketing-wise, KDE sucks. Again.

KDE (Crystal) icons
Does that mean that the icons are not installed as themeable?
I note here that the FreeDeskTop.org icon theme specifications requires that all applications support, in addition to any other icon themes that they support, the fall back icon theme HiColor.
This is not just a OOo-KDE issue, it is a problem with many KDE applications.
Despite clear instructions:
"The main point here is that you _must_ install icons to hicolor, and then you can _optionally_ install icons to other icon themes (kdeclassic, ikons, locolor, crystalsvg, etc.)."
many KDE applications do not have the required HiColor icons. This appears to be, at least in part, do to a misunderstanding about the exact meaning of "default" icon theme. Crystal is the current "default" icon theme but it is not the fall back icon theme and it must not be treated as though it is the only or standard (unthemed) icon theme.
By James Richard Tyrer at Sat, 2004/11/27 - 6:00am
Re: KDE (Crystal) icons
> Does that mean that the icons are not installed as themeable?
Correct. Looking forward you volunteering to implement it.
Re: KDE (Crystal) icons
In fact James is already working in that area (not OOo, but other stuff). And I think he has a point when he says the app developers should get it right in the future. After all, it's not more work to install icons in the correct location instead of the wrong one (this is true at least for KDE apps, dunno about OOo). Fixing incorrect icon locations *is* additional work.
What he tried here was increasing the awareness for the problem.
By cm at Sun, 2004/11/28 - 6:00am
Re: KDE (Crystal) icons
i sow the OOo icons are "bmp" and not "png":
for the su ./setup --->/usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.3/share/config/symbol
for me -----> /home/daniele/.openoffice/share/config/symbol/
i found this script:
links :
i 've tryed it ... i'm not a developer ... it's simplier if you try it than explain... but it's seems it can't work for this OOo, it generate a single bpm with xml file in this folder
but actually the icons are in
i think it could be a good idea to fix ....
PS* are you sure it's just needed to put the icons (png)in hicolor? ... OOo is linked to bpm ..... or not O_o?

NATICK � The family of a Natick woman and business owner who lost part of all four limbs after a debilitating illness is asking the public for help so she can come home to a house that is ready for her.
Family members say Susan Lane, a Natick florist, is lucky to be alive after being blindsided by an infection that quickly spread throughout her body, shutting down major organs and claiming her hands and lower legs.
Lane, 50,�who has owned Flowers by the Depot on Main Street in Natick for 18 years, is in good spirits and her family is counting their blessings, but they�re also in a race against time and money to retrofit her home and make it ready for her return in a few short weeks.
Jay Lane, Susan Lane�s son, said his mother started feeling sick on a Friday at the end of May. He said the two of them, who worked together at the flower shop had a normal day until his mother said she wasn�t feeling well.
The next day, he said, she said she couldn�t go to work and asked him to take care of the shop while she laid low, thinking it was a bug that would pass like any other.
"She started getting a little fever, but it was manageable," Jay said. He said he checked on her later and then heard a crash coming from her room the next morning.
Lane said that he went upstairs to find her hallucinating and vomiting blood. He rushed her to MetroWest Medical Center in Framingham, where they found she had a fever of almost 104 degrees. The doctors treated her and her fever began to go down, but her kidneys were having trouble and she was placed in the intensive care unit. Her temperature began dropping and Jay went back home.
He said he was called back hours later, and was told that whatever type of infection she had, she was septic.
"They said that essentially she�s dying," Jay said. "She had some sort of infection that was taking over her body and her heart couldn�t handle it."
Her heart stopped and she was clinically dead for about a minute, Jay Lane said.
After doctors worked on her all night, she was flown to Tufts Medical Center on Monday. She spent the next three-and-a-half weeks in a coma, Jay Lane said.
Doctors figured out that she had gotten strep pneumonia, which spread into her spine causing bacterial meningitis. She had a full-body bacterial skin infection from her renal system not working and developed necrosis in all four limbs, as well as her nose.
"Her legs and her hands literally were dying and poisoning her body," Jay Lane said. He remembered the doctors telling the family that "the chances of all of this happening was like her winning the lottery three times in a row."
Susan Lane�s legs were amputated below the knee and her hands were amputated at the wrist, Jay Lane said. Part of her nose also had to be removed.
Susan Lane was moved to Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital this week, her son said. He said that she is in great spirits.
"She�s been awesome," he said. "She has been so happy and hopeful and just overjoyed to be alive."
Her progress, however, means that she�ll be coming home sooner than expected - probably in four to five weeks, Jay Lane said. He said the family is now in a race to raise money to pay for costly renovations to the home he and his young daughter share with Susan, in order to make it accessible for her.
The family has set up a fundraising page at
www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/support-susan-lane-fund/203793. Jay Lane said that the family has received some in-kind donations, but is also looking for volunteers who might be willing to help out with the renovations.
Jay Lane said that people may contact him about volunteering or in-kind contributions by clicking the "contact the organizer" link on the fundraising page.

I'm celebrating my father's life by sharing his poetry beyond the Spanish word. Although I'm not a translator I'll try my best to convey in English (with a little creative license) Dad's romantic, festive and often nostalgic messages. It will be both of us talking with you. I hope you join me on this journey. Read on and enjoy! Andrés
Why do this?
My father, José Luis Villamizar Melo, passed away in my home town of Cúcuta, Colombia, in August last year. The law and economics were Dad's profession, but literature, history and academia his passion. He wrote and published several books, articles and book chapters. The thing is that so many people have missed out on his work, particularly on his beautiful poetry, which he wrote in Spanish prior to the world wide web. So I thought, what a better way to keep Dad's legacy alive than to bring his writing beyond his world and share it with mine. That is why I am translating over 250 of my Dad's poems to English and publishing them here, one a day, Monday to Friday during 2011 (Dad, a family man, always believed that you shouldn't work on weekends).

The Department of Labor has a new focus on "major cases," such as fee disclosure.
"We're asking for more information" regarding fee disclosure, said Jeff Hinman, deputy director of DOL's criminal enforcement.
Both Hinman and ERISA attorney Bruce Ashton, a partner with Drinker Biddle & Reath, gave attendees at the American Society of Pension Professionals and Actuaries annual meeting in National Harbor, Md., just outside Washington, a detailed description on Monday of how they should prepare for a DOL investigation. They answered such questions as: What triggers a Department of Labor investigation? What will DOL ask for during one? And how should retirement planning officials handle such investigations?
Ashton told retirement planning officials that while they tend to view Employee Retirement Income Security Act violations as a "civil matter, … Jeff's presence here is the signal that there are criminal aspects of ERISA, and they can't be ignored."
Criminal investigations usually involve issues where there is a "badge of fraud, concealment, false statement, or lack of authorization," Hinman added, and that these types of criminal acts can occur in any type of ERISA violation.
When the DOL initiates an investigation, Hinman said, "we usually can't tell you what we are looking for but you'll get an idea by the information we are requesting."
Warned Ashton: "You have to cooperate with a DOL investigation. You have to turn over documents."
Following are the top triggers of a DOL investigation, what DOL is looking for, the investigation process and how retirement planning officials should handle an investigation.
The most common trigger of a DOL investigation is participant complaints. Others include Form 5500 reports that raise questions, bankruptcy, unfavorable media coverage, and referrals from other agencies, particularly the IRS.
"Most of our cases begin with participants calling in" because they are not happy with some issue, Hinman said.
The DOL is looking for violations such as:
- Untimely deposits of employee deferrals
- Improper payment or allocation of payments
- Failures to follow plan's Investment Policy Statement
- Self-dealing by employer or other fiduciaries.
The investigation process starts with an initial letter from the department, informing the plan sponsor that an investigation will be conducted at the sponsor's offices on a specific date.
"When it comes to criminal, though," Hinman said, "you may not get a letter; we may just show up."
The letter will also include a document request and interviews with key plan personnel.
DOL generally requests an enormous number of documents — including information on who is the plan fiduciary, and other documents like the 5500s.
Ashton said the DOL investigation was usually done in three steps: fact finding and request for information; review and analysis and initial findings by the investigator; and findings and negotiation, in which DOL issues an initial findings letter and requests voluntary correction, which requires a response and action.
How do you handle an investigation (on the civil side)?
Plan sponsors can request an extension if necessary, clarify the scope of the document request (ERISA counsel can assist with this), deal with ambiguities in requests, inform key personnel of the investigation and designate a knowledgeable contact person, and deal with the in-office interviews.

Voice-controlled smartphone searches are slowly becoming all the rage, thanks to tools like Apple's Siri and Google's "enhanced" voice search. While Google's technology has been available to Android users for some time, the company recently updated its native search app for iOS with its latest developments in contextual voice queries. For iOS users, this means there's now actual competition for what you use when you want to make quick lookups without your thumbs. So which one is better: Google or Siri?
We thought we'd ask both "apps" the kind of questions we'd find ourselves debating with friends (which usually results in someone whipping out a smartphone to look up the answer). We took 20 different questions, ranging from practical to less-than-practical, to see which one gave us the most useful answers. The goal was to ask questions in a casual way—after all, both Siri and Google are supposed to be able to read into the context of your question without too many specifics.
Both apps performed reasonably well, but there were many cases in which one gave a better answer than the other. Depending on what kinds of things you might ask Siri or Google, one may be superior. Read on and discover what's best for you (and chuckle at our attempts to get answers out of the two AI bots):
What is 72° Fahrenheit in Celsius?
Both apps returned accurate results to this query, and delivered them directly. This is an important point we'll run into later; not all queries were failures, but sometimes we had to go through extra effort to find the answer. For this one, the answer was simple. Both Siri and Google were able to tell us right away.
Winner: Draw
Who founded the Free Software Foundation?
As you can see above, Google won this one by giving us the answer right away. Siri could have directed us to the answer (that's what the "search the Web" option is for when Siri can't find out right away), but it would have required extra taps. We would've ended up at Google anyway.
Winner: Google
When does Les Misérables come out?
I was intentionally vague when asking this question, because I wanted to see if the apps could identify that I was talking about 1) a movie, and 2) a movie that hasn't yet been released (or at least, the latest version hasn't been released yet).
As you can see from the answers above, Siri clearly did understand that I was talking about a film and not the musical, but Siri didn't seem to know a new version of Les Misérables is coming out this December (even when I specified that I wanted the 2012 version). Google, on the other hand, knew that a version of Les Misérables is coming out this year, and it gave me the date I was looking for.
Winner: Google
When did Tim Cook become CEO of Apple?
Neither Siri nor Google was able to tell me the exact date when Apple announced Tim Cook as CEO (August 24, 2011). But Google was at least able to point me to the Wikipedia page about Tim Cook, and Siri wanted to point me to Apple's website.
Update: Readers have pointed out that Siri's result only takes you to Apple's home page, which is arguably less useful than a simple Google search. As a result, I'm updating the winner of this one...
Winner: slight lean toward Google, because search results are better than nothing
Who painted the Mona Lisa?
Google was able to give me the answer right away with no extra clicks. Siri, on the other hand, wanted to send me to the Web. I'm surprised the answer to this one wasn't in Wolfram Alpha (which Siri can query), but regardless, Google had the more efficient result.
Winner: Google
What time does Bin Wine Café open?
For this query, Siri didn't quite understand what I was asking, but still provided me with the answer I was looking for. Google also provided me the answer I was looking for. Strangely, they report different times for when this restaurant opens. This is undoubtedly due to conflicting information sources; Siri pulls its data from Yelp, but it's unclear where Google pulls its info from (most likely its own restaurant listings). According to the restaurant's own website, it's open for "nosh" at 4pm and open for dinner at 5pm. I guess both answers are technically correct.
Winner: Draw
Where is Google's Chicago office?
I suspected this might be a difficult one for Siri to pull out, and I was right. Siri thought I was asking a completely different question and tried to give me my own Google Voice number that I have stored in my Contacts. Google, on the other hand, knew what I was asking and was able to provide the location of the company's office in Chicago.
Winner: Google
What goes into cheddar cheese?
Neither app was able to provide the answer directly to me without extra clicks. Siri would have required at least one extra tap compared to Google.
Winner: Draw
What is 300 pesos in American dollars?
This is a type of query that many of us find ourselves using when traveling. Both Siri and Google provided us the answer directly, but Siri offered extra details that might be useful. For instance, Siri provides the exchange rate history so we could see how things have changed over time.
Winner: Draw on the original question, with a slight lean towards Siri for extra contextual data
How old is Justin Bieber?
Well, how old is he?!? Both services gave me the correct answer, but Google provided Bieber's actual birth date in addition to his age. Siri, on the other hand, gave me an extremely specific age (18 years, 8 months, 12 days). While that information might be useful to someone, I suspect the birth date might be easier to grok.
Winner: Draw, with a slight lean towards Google for more useful contextual data

KDE Ships First 4.7 Release Candidate
KDE has released a first release candidate of the upcoming 4.7 release of the Plasma Desktop and Netbook workspaces, the KDE Applications and the KDE Frameworks, which is planned for July 27, 2011. With API, dependency and feature freezes in place, the KDE team's focus is now on fixing last-minute bugs and completing translations and documentation.
The 4.7 release will bring a number of exciting improvements:
To download source code or packages to install go to the 4.7 RC1 Info Page.

Hardly arbitrary, Aaron explained why: some bugs had been fixed for 4.7 that may have solved this problem too and the report itself was too cluttered with pointless comments to be useful anymore. He also explained what to do next: if someone tests it with 4.7 and finds the bug is still there then open a fresh bug report clearly stating what problem(s) still remain and then don't clutter it up with whining and moaning.

But how would he know, there's so much noise on that report it's hard to know anymore what one single topic it's supposed to be about. We have thousands of bugs to try keep track of, messy ones like that don't make it any easier. He clearly set out what to do, is it too much to ask the reporter to help keep track of things instead of overloading a single point of failure?
Here's an idea, instead of spending your time uselessly trolling the Dot, how about helping out with bug triaging and start learning how to fix them instead?

It's ironic and amusing that people are getting some of the best software in the world and complaining that their itch is not getting scratched...arguing and commenting disrespectfully to people who are creating and fixing that software.
KDE is a community. It operates better than any other community I know of. And it operates from particular design principles (http://www.kde.org/code-of-conduct/)...
Reading through the comments on the bug thread, it's clear that some people are in the KDE neighborhood, but not the community.

I agree with all that. Not trying to defend trixl.
By Jorge Adriano at Sun, 2011/06/26 - 7:00am
No learning required
Another way to get your "important" pet bug fixed when the developers have different priorities than you, are to simply hire someone to fix it for you(or since the user in question obviously pay for their distribution, convince them to fix it). No need to learn anything about development, just find a local developer to do the job. Small independent 1-5 man consulting shops are everywhere, so it should not be hard to find someone willing and able to do the job.
It may cost something in the range of $100-$300/h, but since the bug is such an important show-stopper that should not matter.
And that value is the same the KDE developers continue to give us for free with every hour they spend writing code and working with bugzilla(or wasting on noise, like in this case). Wasting developers time, insult them and demand them to fix, as in this case, minor issues are incredibly ungrateful and rude.

Fix my bugs now...
There is no point in starting every (pre-) release announcement with a "fix my bugs now" posting.
I also encounter some (small) bugs, however
How would I feel if I spend my time on a free software project and get emails blaming me for not closing bug xyz?(*) I accept that I live in a free software world where developers decide which bugs they are going to work on (not a perfect world, but better than others). And I try to send at least one email to one of the KDE developers per year and send them a big THANK YOU for all the great work they have done! Hopefully, this compensates for some of the frustration they encounter...
By mkrohn5 at Sun, 2011/06/26 - 1:10am
You're 90% right but...
please understand that for many users there is no big point anyway in shooting pre-releases one after each other, all with the same bugs as the older versions.
Right or not, users gets very nervous, very fast when developers seem more interested in "new features" than in "less bugs".
Think about this: people don't get nervous about what they don't care, and having a userbase that cares can be the best resource for the community.
And then there's the "live up to expectations" factor. I've read here announces and comments full of: "the best software in the world", "new wonderful technologies", "social-semantic revolution"... if someone buy all this and find himself troubled by the same, old, trivial bugs, he can easily get angry. No surprise.
Being just a bit more prudent and a bit less boastful would help KDE community very much...
Ok, so a big THANK YOU to KDE developers is due. But, please, try to remember that behind every pending bug there is a frustrated user.
By Vajsvarana at Mon, 2011/06/27 - 11:22am
Care to provide a source for a single one of those release announcement quotes?
Something we've done in the past (it depends who writes the article and how much time they have to get the info) is detail the number of bugs fixed since the last prerelease. It's always a lot.
We perhaps don't give enough publicity to bugs fixed and developers tend to blog more about new stuff than fixing old stuff, but that does not mean it is not happening.
By Stuart Jarvis at Fri, 2011/07/01 - 12:01pm
thank you for being more explicit
I read the entire thread. I do not see the conclusion you reached.
There is a point in reporting bugs. That's some of the value that users provide. However, there is no point in harping on a particular bug...trying to make something a squeaky wheel that needs to be greased is not working. It is not likely to start working.
There is nothing arbitrary about how this bug was treated. Several people (ASeigo in the main) explained clearly why the bug was being marked invalid. This does not mean that the bug doesn't exist, nor does it mean that no one is working on it. Unfortunately, both of these conclusions were drawn in the thread.
This bug report being labeled "invalid" could legitimately mean that--to developers--the report has lost its usefulness. Rather than arbitrarily blowing off the bug, a developer writes:
Apparently that is not acceptable to the commenters who smell the chum, and continue with the remarks that I find mildly disrespectful.

Because Backward compatibility and usability is not KDE
>Things I really really hate:
It's simple, developers they are konsole freaks, maybe they feel that they are smarter just because they can remember a few applications' binary names; so alt+f2 and their appname will get what they want.
Only stupid users like you and me would use menu to navigate. And because they don't use what they develop, they are not bothered to make things easier; now that the top bread-crumb looks nice but developers did not bother to test it's usability and they don't know that it is difficult to use because of too much mouse movement. Who can make them understand the ease of use was with vertical-back-button of kickoff when they never use the kickoff menu!!!
Remember users are 2nd class citizens in KDE. That's why KDE has not become a users' desktop but a developers' desktop. And voting at bugs.kde.org is a joke.

Code of Conduct, please
No matter if your point is valid or not, it's not like ranting like you did will help. In fact, it will only generate bad blood in the community and little else.
There's not a "dedicated" maintainer for Kickoff, IIRC. To this regard, the Plasma developers need help, rather than ranting.
KDE has a Code of Conduct: you should take a look at it.
By Luca Beltrame at Mon, 2011/06/27 - 9:38am
To say that the plasma
To say that the plasma developers need help is an understatement, they seriously need help.
KDE4 is now soon at 4.7 and I'm still using 3.5.10 due to all the bugs and nonsense (plasma, nepomuk) in KDE4. It's as simple as KDE3 _working_, and working _well_ on _all_ my systems, including EeePC 901 - it's fast and responsive. KDE4 OTOH is annoyingly resource consuming and crawls even on my fastest system (quad Xeon 2.4GHz, 8GB RAM). And if that wasn't bad enough, the usability is really piss poor as well.
I'm not trying to troll here, I'm just saying what I see and how I experience it. I really had high hopes for KDE4 to be utterly cool, but have instead been utterly disappointed with it, they're basically bringing it in the opposite direction of what I had hoped. And with that vanished the last hope for a really cool desktop on un*x.
Example of how it sucks... to use music productivity software, I simply _have_ to change to something else than KDE4 - plasma constantly pulls between 60% and 90% CPU, in a stupid, everlasting clock_gettime event poll loop. Yes, the plasma developers need help!

I have 4.7 Beta 1 installed, but lately I've been using mostly LXDE (openSUSE 11.3) so I don't know about plasma. But I can say that even here I've experienced knotify eating away my processor more than once.
By Jorge Adriano at Mon, 2011/06/27 - 6:08pm
doesn't make sense
My machine is far behind these specs "quad Xeon 2.4GHz, 8GB RAM". It is speedy running 4.6.4. A few things have helped with that--most notably changing OpenGL to XRender in System Settings, due to lack of support for Intel GM965.
I'm far from being as tech savvy as others here. But working with the various forums appropriate to this distro, and learning--via readily available web resources--what might be causing difficulties, I've got a system that works great.
4.6.4 running on some duo core laptop with 4G and also on an Aspire netbook, both work great.
What steps have you taken to solve the problems you're having? Any forum posts? Local LUG?
KDE4 has completely lived up to my expectations. Can't imagine using any other desktop. Not only that, when I run the netbook at the local coffeeshop, nearly every time, someone wants to know "what is that?" I've loaded KDE 4 on 3 newbie computers by now, and they love it. Yes there are a few glitches from time to time, but nothing like what they were having with other mainstream OSs.
Couldn't be happier with an OS.
UPDATE: Just did Windows and other Updates on my wife's Win7 machine. Dreadful.

KDE on a netbook
I'm using KDE on a netbook (1.6ghz n450 with a intel 3150) since months.
It's nice to use - except when I open too many tabs on chromium.
I don't use nepomuk/strigi anymore because I always know where my few files are (but I've used it for awhile and worked good)
Oh, I just checked and plasma-desktop stay @ 0%
By Anonymous at Mon, 2011/06/27 - 10:11pm
Re: KDE on a netbook
It's good that your experiences are positive, and I think some people still need to recognise that not everyone sees dreadful performance with KDE 4.x - I don't, on four different machines of varying age and capability, FWIW.
On the other hand I don't think it necessarily takes away from the negative experiences some people still seem to have with KDE. Still, my bet is that most of these problems are graphics driver related. In any case the best way to get these problems solved is if the people having these problems can try to work constructively with the developers. How can this work? Perhaps start with the following:
User: tell me what I need to do / what information I need to provide you with in order to fix this problem.
Developer: ok, you need to do this, this, and this, and send me the results.

Both kickoffs search function
Both kickoffs search function and the run tool search by more than just name. If you typed in paint looking for a program to paint with for example it would find Krita and mypaint. If I typed in word it would find the libreOffice word processer component. Both also search recent documents so you can just type in the name of the last file you were working on.
I am not exactly sure what your beef is with the breadcrumbs (unless you didn't realise that you can switch to the old representation by double clicking on the address).
The problem with the vertical button in the kickoff menu is the discoverability of it. If you go back and look at the complaints about this when 4.0 was released. Of course people are used to it now...
By Anonymous at Fri, 2011/07/01 - 8:08am
Keyboard is broken, OP is unpolite.
Actually not; if I type "word processor" I get LibreOffice Writer, so, it's a lot more intuitive than what you think. The biggest omission isn't the button (the breadcrumb can fully replace it), but the total lack of keyboard navigation where the breadcrumb is used (navigating with the keyboard in the "Computer", "Recent Files" and "Exit", where no breadcrumb is used, work; navigating with the keyboard in the "Favourites" or "Applications" panes doesn't work). The sad reality is: KDE is useless without a mouse.
I filed bugs regarding keyboard interaction, but they have been unnoticed or ignored. A full review of how KDE interacts with the keyboard is required, there are simply too many inconsistencies.
By Ernesto Manríquez at Sat, 2011/07/02 - 3:50am

The problem there is that clearly few developers are interested in Kickoff and only the basic maintenance is done... With things like these you're simply depending on someone sending in a patch which will surely be reviewed and integrated.

Correct me if I am wrong but on linux there is 2 way to have more than one screen attached. There is Xrender witch only work on 1 card and there is separated x.
I have 2 cards to power my 4 screens so that renders Xrender usless. And separated x has never worked proper with kde 4 (but there is still small progess with each release).
About Wayland I think it is at least 6-8 years before it will be usefull (eg before KDE, drives (moth opensource and closed source) will support it nicely). Which is around the time where I should give up my free (free as ion beer,not speach) windows 7. I just hoped that I could return to KDE before that time

Breadcrumbs work for me
About the removal of the back button in kickoff. Looks like this will a sore spot for some folks and seen as an improvement by many more? Or is it more half and half? Oh. wait...this a pre-release and hasn't been kicked out on the street yet. ;)
Okay, all kidding aside, this is obviously one of those strictly subjective things and personally, I like the change to a bread crumb style navigation although the font could be a bit larger or at least a bit darker but that might be theme related (I'm running 4.7(pre) on Chakra Edn milestone 1). We all have our pet peeves and one of mine concerning the kickoff style menu was that awkward back "bar" on the left hand side of the menu. But that's just my opinion, you know?

Fedora unstable repository has been updated...
...and I have first impressions of what KDE 4.7 is.
1. A long time ago, with KDE 4.4, an idle CPU usage of 2% with effects, without blur, was achieved, and I was happy. KDE 4.5 introduced blur, but it was unbearably slow with my poor GeForce 6150. KDE 4.6 improved somewhat the situation, but I was still idling at more than 20%. Now KDE 4.7 idles at 2% WITH BLUR. Thanks, KWin sorcerers, you made me really happy.
2. There is a mega-bug with Strigi, again. Nepomuk reindexes everything all the time and the CPU usage rises to 99% unless I disable Strigi. But, this time, two things are different: 1) developers are working overtime to kill this bug once and for all, and 2) last time, it was an eaten core. Now it's each core running at 45%. Strigi can paralellize work, and it will perform better with multicore CPUs. This bug is going to be killed soon.
3. Clock. It SIMPLY LOOKS AND BEHAVES AWESOMELY.
4. Shadows. They look great, and, if you place your panel on top, you'll see the shadow obscuring your titlebar nicely, like it should be. Great. What's not so great is that the Plasma Air theme backgrounds are 4.6's, so, even if Plasma can render shadows properly, the Air theme still has SVG shadows drawn inline and I still see plasmoids snapping to their shadows, instead of snapping to their borders. Can you fix that? Now that the real fixes are in place, it's a matter of removing some SVG shadows, setting some flags so Plasma keeps in charge, and voilà.
5. Oxygen. It has evolved nicely, except for the folder icon. I still like the old one better. Nuno, I love your work, but your new folder icon is a mistake in itself.
6. KDE Microblog. It can do full retweets and mark some tweets as favorites, but it still can't retrieve more than 16 tweets at once. Please, can somebody lift this limit?

DOGEN, WIN A DATE WITH BRAD WARNER and MORE ABOUT GENPO ROSHI
I've been away for a bit. But boy are you guys lucky! For today I have a veritable bonanza of stuff for you.
First up, here is a new video from Dogen Sangha Los Angeles. This is another in the series that Jan Hermann von Bayern put together. They were shot last September when I was in Los Angeles.
The Dogen Sangha Los Angeles YouTube channel has a bunch more of these if you haven't seen the others yet.
And speaking of YouTube, I have a new article up on the SuicideGirls safe-for-work blog. It's called Win a Date With Brad Warner and it is possibly the single most embarrassing thing I have ever made public. I'm sure I will deeply regret having ever typed this up. Ah well. (The YouTube connection will become clear if you read the article.)
(And remember I'm not getting paid for any of these funtastic pieces of entertainment you're enjoying except for what I can get form people clicking on the little donation button over there to your left. Those reading on Facebook can click on the words donation button.)
And finally, people have been sending me all kinds of things where legitimate respected people in the Buddhist world have made fun of Genpo Roshi.
Here is one by Jundo Cohen. It's pretty darn funny.
And here's another from Elephant Journal, also pretty funny.
Finally, here's one that appears to have been written by somebody with inside knowledge of what went on backstage in the Genpo Roshi camp. Also pretty funny.
Some might feel it's cruel to make fun of poor old Genpo now that he's sunk so low he can only charge $15,000 per person for his Big Mind™ retreats, down from the $50,000 per person he was getting just two years ago. All that "sadness and love" he's feeling these days must really be getting him down as he plods through one of his three houses, using his cut-up Buddhist robes for hankies as tears stream from his eyes.
But I feel like making fun of Genpo Roshi is the kindest thing the Buddhist community can do for him right now. Those who are enabling him to continue with his deceptive ways are not doing the man any favors at all. As others have pointed out, Genpo is a big source of income for the groups he leads and they don't want to lose their cash cow. Those kinds of friends are not your friends at all.
These articles will also stick with people much more than any well-worded open letter to some Buddhist organization ever could. Poor Genpo may even have to reduce his fees to $10,000 per person before the year is out!
