It looks quite good but, after looking at the HTML, I would hate to be the person who had to maintain the site.
The site overall has a nice look to it. One thing you might want to check, when I mouseover on your image links, your whole layout shifts down slightly. Could just be my browser though, I'm using Firefox.
I agree... very nice site. It has a warm and airy feeling, which is good considering the topic I think. I like it GoPC
Has a good image! Hope it does well. Cheers! Nic

By Jesse Wells
Recently, the Chippewa/Cree tribe of the Rocky Boy Reservation met the end of what has been referred to as "18 money." The phenomenon of "18 money" has been a major concern for all enrolled members who did not meet the deadline to receive these funds, leaving many skeptical to why these funds are no longer available. The public, as well as students, wants to know exactly what "18 money" was and why it is no longer there.
I can speak for myself on this issue, for I was one who received a Pembina Chippewa award. I knew hardly anything about these funds and why I was getting this money, so upon getting the opportunity to research this topic, I jumped at it right away. I always wondered why I was receiving these funds when I hadn't done anything to deserve them or even work for them. This is what drove me to write this article.
I asked a few of my fellow students here at Box Elder School who received their Pembina Chippewa award about whether or not they knew the history of "18 money" and why they were receiving these funds, and I came to the conclusion that the majority knew the funds came from a treaty that was signed sometime in the past. Most of them, however, were just waiting for a big check when they turned eighteen.
In my mission to find out the facts, I spoke with James Montes, Field Representative of the BIA for the Rocky Boy Reservation, and he explained to me the basis of the Pembina Chippewa Award. Many years ago, caucasian settlers along with the government took millions of acres that belonged to the Pembina Chippewa Indians. Of course, the tribes were very unhappy, and to avoid war with the Chippewa, the United States government signed what was known as the 10-Cent Treaty in 1895 in the Red River Valley of North Dakota. This treaty stated that the federal government had to pay a dime an acre for the Chippewa land in northeastern North Dakota that had been taken from them.
However, it wasn't until Dec. 31, 1982, that Congress signed the Pembina Chippewa Act, creating the judgment claim and stating how such funds were to be distributed equally among the tribes. Under this act, the four bands receiving these funds were the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians in North Dakota, the Chippewa/Cree Tribe of Rocky Boy's Reservation, the Chippewa of White Earth Reservation in Minnesota, the Little Shell Band "Landless Indians" of the Chippewa Indians, and the nonmember Pembina descendants who were not enrolled in any tribe. In order for the nonmembers to participate in the distribution of funds, all individuals had to prove at least one-quarter Pembina Chippewa blood, be citizens of the U.S., born on or before the date of the enactment of this act, and not be a member of the other bands.
This act stated that eighty percent of the funds were to be distributed in the form of per capita payments to all enrolled members who were living on the date of the act. This meant 32,410 Pembina Chippewa received the first payment on May 27, 1988, totalling $1,720.48 apiece. The second, and final payment was made on February 1, 1994, in the amount of $1,266.28. The enrolled members of these tribes that were not yet 18 at the time of the payments had their money put into a trust until they turned 18, hence the term "18 money."
This claim also stated that twenty percent of the funds were to be held in trust and invested by the Secretary of Interior for the benefit of the members of each tribe. The tribes could deplete the interest from the funds invested, but could not touch the principal. Therefore, there had to be a budget approved by the BIA in order to utilize these interest funds for three tribal purposes: economic programs, education/recreation, and tribal administration. If individuals receiving their per capita share of funds became deceased, the beneficiary received these funds. These funds were not subject to any taxes or considered income for any tax purposes.
Now, the answer to the question of why these funds are no longer available to tribal members who turn eighteen? If they were not born on or before Congress passed the Pembina Chippewa Act on Dec. 31, 1982, they were not eligible to receive these funds. So, if you were one of those people wondering what "18 money" was, now you know!

One of the main hurdles towards a wide endorsement of ontologies is the high cost of constructing them. Reuse of existing ontologies offers a much cheaper alternative than building new ones from scratch, yet tools to support such reuse are still in their infancy. However, more ontologies are becoming available on the web, and online libraries for storing and indexing ontologies are increasing in number and demand. Search engines have also started to appear, to facilitate search and retrieval of online ontologies. This paper presents a fresh view on constructing ontologies automatically, by identifying, ranking, and merging fragments of online ontologies.

With much of the province's crab fishery closing today, fisherman Larry Pinksen says he left more than $50,000 worth of crab in the water.
He's not alone.
In the 3K area - off the eastern tip of the Northern Peninsula - about 15 per cent of this year's crab quota will remain uncaught.
Depending on who you ask, the problem was either harvesters didn't start fishing until a month after the season opened, or maybe it's simply because there weren't enough crab in the water.
Squabbling over the price of crab between the Fish Food and Allied Workers' (FFAW) union and the Association of Seafood Producers kept most boats tied up for a month at the beginning of the season.
"I imagine any time you give someone an extra four weeks of fishing, you know, the possibility is that they certainly would have (filled their quota)," said Fisheries Minister Clyde Jackman. "I don't know exactly what the fallout of all of this will be. I'm sure that as fishermen take stock of the situation, and if plants are impacted, we will be presented with requests if the need is there."
Pinksen was pretty clear about what the fallout could be: bankruptcy for some fishermen.
"I don't see how you could avoid it," he said. "It's not over until the fat lady sings later on in the fall, but there are a lot of boats that never got the crab, that don't pursue a lot of other fisheries.
"There's not a lot of avenues there for them at all."
Crab represents the economic backbone of the industry.
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) already extended the 3K crab fishery for about a month because harvesters were having trouble reaching their quota.
Ultimately, DFO had to close it because fishermen were disturbing, and potentially killing, soft shell crab.
The problems in 3K are stoking fears among people in the industry.
"We're certainly hoping against hope that it's not an indication as to declines in the resource, but we'll have to see what happens," Jackman said.
"I'm not Chicken Little saying the sky is falling, let's not prejudge anything, see what the science says," Pinksen said. "(But) you would be a fool not to be concerned about what's happening here."
The FFAW conducts a crab survey of the fishery at the end of the season, which provides information on the status of the species.
Pinksen said since the collapse of the cod fishery in the 1990s, crab has become the mainstay.
If crab isn't a sustainable source of income, he said he worries about the future of rural Newfoundland.
"So goes the fishery, so goes rural Newfoundland," he said. "The crab is your bread and butter."
Ironically, the economic issues which caused all of the problems at the beginning of the season never really materialized.
"I think overall the fishery has not had the turmoil that we had expected at the front end," said Derek Butler, executive director of the Association of Seafood Producers. "And I'm glad to be wrong."
Jackman agreed, saying that the fishery benefitted from strong buyers, and a dip in the Canadian dollar that made
"The only thing that I see as a negative in it, is that it was a month late in starting," he said.

Stinky...have you ever been to rural NL?? You obviously haven't been there. THey work hard at all types of jobs! What's your job, I imagine you sit on your ars more than they do. Do you go home and watch tv in the night time? Or are you trying to keep your $100,000 boat in shape to keep your job going? Are you making your nets or finding people to help work on your boat...nope! I bet you are home sitting on your ars! Don't judge until you are in their shoes. I am not from rural NL but love to visit and visit often. Everyone judges the fishermen. Sure some (not all) collect EI in the fall to spring...so do some construction workers with their seasonal work!! Fishermen work on their boats keeping them in shape all year round. Sometimes in the summer they work for 4 or 5 or even longers days straight without any sleep. They don't have it easy. They deserve not to be judged. We wouldn't be here today if they didn't help our economy from day 1! Stop Judging until you are in their shoes.
- - July 20, 2010 at 14:32:58
It's a hard and dangerous job but I have a problem with a fisherman that clears 100,000 for the year and still gets EI. He's also the one with the 5 bedroom house, a cabin in the country, new truck (4 wheel drive of course) and 2 skidoos. He's also the one that complains the most. If you don't like it, try soemthing else.
- Neil
- - July 20, 2010 at 14:32:57
Maybe if 80% of fishermen didn't call it a season after the crab was over, they'd be able to run a good money making enterprise. As the article says, most fishermen don't fish any other species. But yet they still get top EI for the fall and winter....something wrong here. I fished back in the early 90's and when the cod closed we went to lump, skate, flounder, etc etc. Whatever it took to pay the bills for the winter. We fished from May to October....

The crab will go the way of the cod, it has already started with the stocks already depleting. If you don't diversify and fish more than one species, you shouldn't be allowed to fish. I have worked as a farmer and a fisherman and I can tell you they are equally demanding when it comes to physical labor. Since I don't like physical labor:) I now have a desk job.To all you naysayers out there I challenge you to spend one 12 hour day fishing and you just may have some respect for the people who not only built this province, but the entire country.

nope, never been to rural nl, never, i hear its a dangerous place to drive and you cant understand what people are saying, as a matter of fact i live in my parents basement and never go outside. whenever i see something on tv (free air channels) i notice all the outports look deserted and the wharves are completely empty with all those busy fishermen working hard around the clock on their bow-ats. so who's doin all the cabin breakins and drinking and drivin and atv crashing round the bay then? cant be those busy, busy fishermen could it? i see no reason to stop judging just because you say so, we all judge every moment of the day, if you say you dont your a liar.
- Huh?
- - July 20, 2010 at 14:32:53
'There is no person out there that physically works harder than a fisherman.' Yes there is, it's a farmer, and they don't get EI.

- - July 20, 2010 at 14:32:53
I agree with Stop Judging 110%...I grew up in a fising family in rural Newfoundland. Throughout the fishing season, I hardly ever seen my dad. He was out on the water before the crack of dawn, and usually never got home until sometime way after dark. In a majority of cases, if a fisherman were to log their hours worked throughout the year, it would surpass the regular hours worked by most full - time workers. Whoever thinks that all fishermen do is sit on their arse are ignorant to the fact of what it is they do. During the off season they are hard at work doing repair and maintenance to their gear and vessels. During the winter months, I remember my dad spending countless hours in the twine loft mending and making pots & nets. Like Stop Judging said: They deserve not to be judged. We wouldn't be here today if they didn't help our economy from day 1! Stop Judging until you are in their shoes.

I thought if you were a fisherperson you caught other species --not only crab--want you really want is goverment handouts.The real working person has to work all year-some to leave their homes to find work.
- Townie
- - July 20, 2010 at 14:32:46
There is no person out there that physically works harder than a fisherman. They start their days at 5am and easily work 12-14 hour days for the spring and/or summer months. During the Fall and Winter, they are preparing their equipment, whether it be their longliners or nets or lobster traps for the next season. This work is not easy nor is it clean. I suspect that people like Stinky are exactly that-they would run from a job like that of a fishermen as they would not be able to put up with the smell day in day out-afraid to get their hands dirty! For gods sakes, there are many people who cannot handle fish from a grocery store after its been cleaned let alone spend a 12 hour day on the water in loppy seas handling the species firsthand. Go sit in yer laz z boy chair Stinky and turn on your community channel. Oh and make sure your remote is close by!

I know little about the fishery however I believe the problems are with the structure of our industry here, and not one particular side or another. I certainly hope to keep the fishery going here; we will definitely regret not managing it well if/when the next food crisis hits us (read up on BP and the methane problem).
- No easy answers
- - July 20, 2010 at 14:32:42
I doubt many will go Bankrupt as they often own their own homes, trucks, cars, boats, atvs, trailers, etc. Oh not to mention even a small license is valued as high as $70K these days. It's not good for the economy when the fishery is poor, ask a car dealer. But I understand that most people have little sympathy for fisherman. There are some who milk the EI system for all its worth, but not all, so be careful not to judge.
- Mike
- - July 20, 2010 at 14:32:41
You're right on Stinky. Now we will have to spend the winter listening to the poor fishermen bawling on Open Line telling us all how the government owes them a living.

I work physically harder than a fishermen. Some days I wonder why I left the fishery after 25 years when there actually was fish to catch, and all sorts of species and seasons. Today's mono-species fishermen have it easy. When my fishermen buddies have the whole winter off I still have animals to tend to.
- - July 20, 2010 at 14:32:39
Yay, maybe the crab will get a chance to replenish. br br Just because you have a quota doesn't mean you have to take exactly that. br br We all see how good scientists are at setting quota's with our non-existant cod fish.

Tourism -
The backbone of the St. John's tourism business appears to be solid for the forseeable future.
Destination St. John's already has large convention bookings for 2016 and 2017.
Far from being hurt by the recession, the city of St. John's actually saw convention bookings increase in 2009 - the only major city to do so, according to Krista Cameron, sales and marketing director for Destination St. John's.
"In Canada, we're the one destination that always tends to exceed - we get record attendance numbers," she said.
Destination St. John's is a private company operated by a consortium of tourism operators on the Avalon, Burin and Bonavista peninsulas.
Convention tourists tend to be in town for a full week attending meetings and seminars, and then frequently extend their stay to explore the island.
An annual convention held in St. John's generally attracts more delegates and sells out sooner than the same convention held in Toronto a year later, because people are looking for a good excuse to visit Newfoundland, St. John's Mayor Dennis O'Keefe said
"The tourism industry in the city of St. John's is worth in the vicinity of $300-325 million annually, and a large, large portion of that comes from conventions and annual meetings," he said.
Destination St. John's attends trade shows every year with representatives from hotels, and pays to bring convention planners to visit the city to check the place out.
Cameron said about 90 per cent of the people they bring to town end up choosing St. John's for their event.
"St John's really sells itself. We just add the bells and whistles," she said.
All of this is leading to more bookings further in advance and expanding the convention season.
"Peak season used to be mid-May to mid-October," Cameron said. "We're seeing a growth of the season, where it's starting more in mid-April and going into November in some years."
The Delta hotel, for example, is already sold out for November 2012, Cameron said.
As one of the primary people who books conventions, Cameron said she's looking forward to increasing the city's capacity for conventions and meetings by expanding the St. John's Convention Centre.
A formal announcement is expected in the fall, but there are plans in the works to double its size from 16,000 square feet to 32,000 square feet.
Cameron said they'll also be looking to divide the main room in the convention centre, making it more versatile for different kinds of meetings.
"I can't wait for it," she said, adding that she's not the only one. "Theres a lot of hotels holding land right now, waiting to the convention centre announcement."
O'Keefe said it's actually a little bit embarrassing that with strong bookings - and bookings so many years in advance - that sometimes they have trouble accommodating meetings that want to come here.
"I guess it points to the fact that we need more hotel space," he said.

Sherman Hemsley, whose greatest claim to fame was his role as George Jefferson on the groundbreaking 1970s sitcom The Jeffersons, has died. He was 74.
Hemsley was found dead at his El Paso, Tex., home.
Hemsley appeared on The Jeffersons for the entirety of its 253 episode run, from 1975-1982. The show, which was a spinoff of All in the Family, remains the longest-running sitcom to star a predominantly black cast. The actor also starred on NBCs Amen, and had a role on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
I loved it when he and Archie went at each other. Many a laugh.

Disability and Christian Theology
Description Attention to embodiment and the religious significance of bodies is one of the most significant shifts in recent theology. As of yet, however, little of this attention has been paid to disability as an aspect of human embodiment. Disability and Christian Theology seeks to correct this oversight. The author reviews possibilities for theological engagement with disability, focusing on three primary tasks: challenging existing theological methods to engage with the disabled body, analyzing possibilities for a disability liberation theology, and exploring new theological options based on an understanding of the universality of human limits. Limits are an unavoidable aspect of being human, a reality we often forget or deny. Yet not only do all humans experience limits, most of us experience limits in the form of disability at some point in our lives. In this sense, disability is more normal than its absence. If we take such experiences seriously and refuse to reduce them to mere instances of suffering, the author asserts, we discover insights that are unavailable when we take a perfect or generic body as the starting point for our theological reflections. Out of the many possible applications of these insights, this book focuses on two areas of particular interest: theological anthropology and metaphors for God. Creamer offers new images and possibilities for theological construction that attend appropriately to diversity in human embodiment. Additional Information

Record price set in farmland sale
by Matt Sepic, Minnesota Public RadioST. PAUL, Minn. — A parcel of farmland in southeastern Minnesota today sold for more than $14,000 an acre, a record for Winona County and near the all-time high for the state.
The 27-acre parcel near I-90 was sold at auction along with four other parcels from the same estate.
Minnesota's record farmland price of $15,000 an acre was set in Hennepin County in 2003, according to a University of Minnesota database.
The land's proximity to the freeway was probably a factor in the high bid because the farmland could be put to another use, Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank regional economist Joe Mahon said.
He says high crop prices continue to drive up land prices. The statewide average is $4,900 an acre, much higher than in years past, he said.
To put that in context, that's an increase of about 23 percent over the previous year," Mahon said.
"A lot of this rise in farmland values that we're seeing is simply due to the fact that crop prices are higher," Mahon said. "Corn is over $8 a bushel right now. And that just means that the value of what you can produce on an acre of land is that much higher."

Gov. Pat Quinn in February nominated Robert Flider – a former state representative who voted last year for the 67 percent income tax increase – to head the Illinois Department of Agriculture at an annual salary of $133,273.
It's been a year since Quinn nominated former Rep. Michael Smith, who also voted for the tax increase, to sit on the Illinois Education Labor Relations Board. The job, which entails attending a meeting once a month with the option of attending by phone, comes with a yearly salary just shy of $94,000.
But it won't be until after the November election that their confirmations could go to an Illinois Senate vote, if there's a vote at all. The Illinois Constitution makes gubernatorial appointments automatic after 60 session days have passed.
Six of the 12 Democratic lame-duck House lawmakers who voted for the tax increase in the final hours of their terms have since ended up with government jobs. The nominations of Flider and Smith have been sitting in the Senate Executive Appointments Committee.
To Sen. Dan Duffy, the delay is as much of a coincidence as their post-tax-increase appointments are. Duffy, R-Lake Barrington, has made a name for himself asking tough questions of appointees and their relations to officials.
"Of course it's not by chance," Duffy said. "When you stick someone in a job and pay them for months or years [before a hearing], you're basically giving them the job."
Quinn's office has steadfastly denied allegations of quid pro quo in his appointments of Flider, Smith and Careen Gordon, the first of the 12 lame ducks to be offered a state job.
Within three days of the Jan 12, 2011, tax increase vote, Quinn nominated Gordon to fill a vacancy on the Illinois Prisoner Review Board, which pays $86,000 a year. She quit two months later, a day before a Senate hearing in which Republicans promised a grilling for the appearance of getting the job in exchange for her vote to raise the income tax.
A month later, Gordon landed an $84,000-a-year job with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, which did not require Senate approval. Neither did the job of former representative David Miller, a dentist who also voted for the tax increase. He now has a $117,000-a-year job as oral health chief for the Illinois Department of Public Health.
Both Gordon and Flider had campaigned against the tax increase in 2010 before losing their re-election bids to Republican opponents and voting for it. Smith actively supported the increase, as did Miller, who ran for comptroller but lost to Republican Judy Baar Topinka. Two other outgoing House members who voted for the tax increase – John O'Sullivan and Michael Carberry – got jobs with Cook County, although O'Sullivan later was fired.
Governors often have not formally submitted appointment candidates for Senate review, which is a problem the Senate tried to rectify. Lawmakers last year approved a bill eliminating serving appointees – at the time numbering about 500 – who had not been confirmed or whose terms had expired. While the Senate had the three-fifths vote necessary to override Quinn's amendatory veto, the legislation died in the House.
Sen. Pam Althoff, R-McHenry, said the Quinn administration has been "very, very slow" when it comes to moving candidates through the process. She said she favored a reform that would set a time limit for governors to submit a nominee's paperwork.
Althoff said she is unsure how she will vote on the Flider or Smith nominations if they go before the Senate. But she said there is the obvious perception that the two got their jobs in exchange for voting for the tax increase.
"Representative Flider is a good man and was a good legislator, and I think he'd serve well in that capacity. The problem I struggle with is that a 'yes' vote could very well be perceived as my approval of what I am calling a misuse of the process to reward people who are not voted back into office, or who appear to have done [the governor's] bidding," Althoff said. "I don't think that's the message we want to send to our constituency."
More than a few state jobs also have gone to Democratic candidates who lost their 2010 election bids.
Dan Seals, who unsuccessfully ran three times for the 10th Congressional District, was appointed last year by Quinn to be assistant director of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. Former state Rep. Julie Hamos, who stepped down in 2010 to run but lost to Seals in the primary, was appointed by Quinn to be assistant director of the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, which pays $142,338 a year.
Raising taxes, losing elections, winning jobs
Six of the 12 lame-duck Democratic House lawmakers who approved the historic 67 percent Illinois income tax increase have since received government jobs and pensions.
Four of them received jobs with the state:
• Robert Flider was nominated in February by Gov. Pat Quinn to head the Illinois Department of Agriculture, a job that pays $133,273 a year.
• Careen Gordon ended up with an $84,000-a-year job as an attorney with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. Quinn first nominated her for an $86,000-a-year seat on the Illinois Prisoner Review Board, but she withdrew after Senate Republicans promised a grilling on the perception of quid pro quo.
• Michael Smith was nominated by Quinn in June 2011 to a seat on the Illinois Education Labor Relations Board. The board, which meets once a month, pays $93,926 a year.
• David Miller, a dentist who served 10 years before running for comptroller and losing to Republican Judy Baar Topinka, was hired at $117,000 a year as oral health chief for the Illinois Department of Public Health.
Two lame-duck lawmakers, appointed to fill unexpired terms, ended up with Cook County jobs:
• John O'Sullivan was hired in May 2011 as a regional superintendent with the Cook County Forest Preserve District. The job pays $85,704 a year. He was fired in October.
• Michael Carberry was hired by Cook County – at $100,000 a year – as deputy director in the county's Department of Facilities Management.
Democratic candidates who were not involved in the tax increase vote also have ended up with state jobs:
• Dan Seals, who unsuccessfully ran in 2006, 2008 and 2010 for the 10th Congressional District, was appointed last year by Quinn to be assistant director of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, a position that pays more than $121,000 a year.
• Former State Rep. Julie Hamos, who stepped down to run for the 10th District but lost to Seals in the 2010 primary, was appointed by Quinn to head the Department of Healthcare and Family Services. The job pays $142,338 a year.

The 36th Annual Poetry and the Children Day| May 16, 2013
This year's guest poet is professor Liz Rosenberg, author of more than 30 award-winning books, including novels, poetry, and more than 20 books for young readers. She is the editor of five prize-winning poetry anthologies and her work has been featured on Reading Rainbow, in The New York Times and in two documentaries about her life and work. She won an IRA-Children's choice award for her picture book, Monster Mama, which is currently under option to be made into a full-length feature movie.
The program, which brings students together for a day of poetry readings, was established as a memorial to Robert Pawlikowski. A published poet, creative writing instructor and campus administrative assistant, Pawlikowski drowned in 1975 while on vacation with his family. The event is a tribute to the efforts that Pawlikowski made during his lifetime in nurturing the expressive and intellectual powers of his students as well as those of his own children.

Has open-source lost its halo?
- 16 February, 2007 07:37
- Comments
Is open-source still a grassroots social movement made up of idealistic underdogs trying to revolutionize an amoral industry? Or has it become a cloak used by IT vendors large and small to disguise ruthless and self-serving behaviour?
Some observers argue it's the latter. Despite occasional protests from oldtimers -- the heated backlash against the Microsoft-Novell detente, for example -- open-source has become so co-opted by mainstream IT, so transformed by "accidental open-sourcers" simply looking for a better business model, that it's lost its cherished moral edge.
"Open-source has become a free pass for all sorts of competitive actions that would once have been -- at a minimum -- roundly criticized," wrote Gordon Haff, an analyst at Illuminata in an online piece last month.
Haff cites IBM's release of its VisualAge software development tools to the open-source Eclipse Foundation in 2001, a move he argues has dealt near-fatal blows to commercial Java Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as Borland's Jbuilder and Symantec's Cafe.
IBM also released its lightweight Cloudscape database in 2004 to the open-source Apache Foundation, where it is now known as Derby. Like Eclipse, Derby helps draw companies to Java, where IBM makes a tidy sum -- even more than Sun Microsystems -- hawking middleware and related tools, Haff said.
But open-sourcing Cloudscape also hurt sales at companies such as Sybase, which made mobile databases the centerpiece of its "unwired enterprise" strategy, as well as open-source vendors like SleepyCat Software (now owned by Oracle Corp.) and MySQL, Haff said.
"Some collateral damage to competitors in the process is not something that IBM likely regrets," Haff wrote.
Sybase's chief marketing officer, Raj Nathan, insists the company is doing fine and that its offering remains "superior to any of our competitor's offerings, including Cloudscape."
But saddled with disappointing growth in its mobile and embedded database business, Sybase is turning its attention to other areas, such as data integration, to boost revenue growth.
Do no wrong, do no right
Another example? Take Hewlett-Packard's backing of the open-source Lustre shared file system. Lustre helps HP in the high-performance computing arena, while hurting storage competitors like Panasas as well as current HP partners such as PolyServe, says Haff.
Yet few have taken notice of what might be seen as ruthless or even treacherous action because of the positive reputation HP enjoys as a champion -- second only to IBM -- of open-source.
"There's a lot of self-delusion," Haff said in an interview. "People need to believe that there are 'good' companies and 'bad' companies. And they get shocked when a 'good' company does something that is in its ... self-interest."
By contrast, 'bad' companies like Microsoft can't catch a break, argues Haff. For instance, if in the late 1990s Microsoft, then in the midst of the Department of Justice's anti-trust case, had decided to release its Visual Studio 97 development tools for free, "What do you think the general reaction would have been? Applause for Microsoft's generosity? Or widespread condemnation for using its market power to make such a transparently anti-competitive attack on other makers of development tools?"
"Eclipse is a bulldozer just as much as much as Microsoft is," agrees another analyst, James Governor of Redmonk, though he views the situation with more equanimity. "One person's predatory is another person's wonderful gift."

BSTDB participated in the MDB Heads of Procurement meeting in London
Date: 19 Jul 2012MDB Heads of Procurement Joint Communiqué
During the week of 18-22 June 2012, the Heads of Procurement (HoP) from a number of Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs)* met at the EBRD Headquarters in London and discussed selected topics related to procurement under projects financed by the Banks.
The HoP meets every nine months and, during the last ten years , has achieved considerable progress in the harmonization of MDB procurement principles, policies and procedures, including standard tender documents enabling easier co-financing and the alignment of procedures by borrowers. Continuing HoP focus on standardization of tender documentation - that also incorporates extensive discussions with private sector stakeholders - is intended to reflect best practice and facilitate broad competition between private sector firms in different parts of the world. HoP recognize, however, that not all procurement processes can be standardized and aim to balance the twin imperatives of harmonization and, assuming adequate capacity, use of local systems.
Topics during the meeting in London included the World Bank's comprehensive policy review, the use of new and innovative contract forms, including forms relevant for design-build and turn-key projects, contract management and monitoring and the broad role of the engineer in works contracts, ICT procurement and the adoption of harmonized procurement principles on PPP operations. Social, environment and labour issues were discussed, while the meeting also addressed topics of abnormally low tender prices and local preferences and the finalization of a principles - based approach to best practices in private sector procurement, including concessions.
The next meeting will be hosted by the African Development Bank in 2013.

I remember playing Deus EX where I could play a FPS and upgrade me/weapons and stuff in a "XP" kind away.
Is there any new game that is good and reminds of this playstyle? Really had great fun with it.
Platform: PC
I remember playing Deus EX where I could play a FPS and upgrade me/weapons and stuff in a "XP" kind away.
Is there any new game that is good and reminds of this playstyle? Really had great fun with it.
Platform: PC
Dishonored and Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
Vampire: Bloodlines.
Farcry 3 seems to do something like this with it's campaign.
Love. Tolerance. 122.
Bioshock Infinite is coming out soon. I'm playing through Bioshock for the first time and loving it. It isn't heavy on stealth like Deus Ex is but the ability to upgrade powers and weapons is similar.
Mass Effect? If you haven't played tho I would do that immediately (start with 2 and 3)
System Shock
Also NOLF 2 had something similar.
That's why you need me.... Need someone to punish you for your sins.
Deus Ex HR and Mass Effect I'd say, my two favorites.

"Whoever did this obviously did not know about the people of Boston. Nothing these terrorists do is going to shake them… For Pete's sake, Boston was founded by the Pilgrims, a people so tough, they had to buckle their goddamn hats on." -Stephen Colbert
It's not got XP per say, but it has money, a lot of RPG elements, upgrading gear, trading, etc.
Technically, it is a FPS and you use guns and gain xp with variations on upgrading yourself or weapons.
So emphasizing the word nothing in all caps denotes that it literally is not like it in any way, which seems to be false. Although, I agree with you that it is not similar enough.
I know other people have said it, but I have to stress how good Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Dishonored, and the BioShock games are. I'd recommend all of them.
I'll probably get flayed for this, but Alpha Protocol could be a fit. I've only played it on PC, and I had to get an .ini fix for the mouse, but once I did that I thought the game was actually quite good. In fact, I thought it was better than Deus Ex:HR.
As someone who's played all Mass Effect games at least 3 times each, i totally agree.. The Mass Effect series is one of the best in this genre - heck of ALL genres.
Did just play through Dishonored, which is very nice also.
The Crysis games are okay too - more fps than rpg, but storymode with upgradeable things.

The Rockefeller Plan, Part 3
Monday, January 12th, 2009 - by Terry MelansonDennis L. Cuddy, Ph.D. - January 12, 2009
[NOTE: President-Elect Obama has chosen Hillary Clinton to be his Secretary of State, and she seems favorably disposed toward world government. Just as Bill Clinton's Rhodes scholar roommate and number 2 at the State Department, Strobe Talbott, won a World Federalist Association award for supporting world government, in 1999 Walter Cronkite won the same award. At the ceremony, Cronkite referred to the need to move "toward world government" and said "we Americans will have to yield up some of our sovereignty." Hillary Clinton congratulated Cronkite on receiving the award, saying, "Tonight we honor you for fighting for 'the way it could be'." Then she commented, "With your continuing leadership, we can sail across these unnavigated seas into the 21st century. And there's no better captain I can imagine, than you. Thank you, my friend." This clearly indicates Hillary Clinton's favorable philosophical disposition toward world government, and with Obama proclaiming himself a "world citizen" (the word "citizen" implies legal obligations), the movement toward world government under Obama/Clinton should accelerate.
In fact, there are so many Clinton administration officials named by Obama to his administration that it appears the Power Elite's "alternation of power" scenario is still operative (George H.W. Bush followed by Bill Clinton followed by George W. Bush now followed by Clinton administration officials with Obama as a figurehead). The reason I say Obama is a figurehead is that presidents are extremely dependent upon their advisors and department heads, and Obama's great lack of experience makes him especially dependent upon the information those around him choose to give to, or withhold from, him.]
In addition to the educational, social control and economic components of the Rockefeller plan, there is also the spiritual/religious component. I've already mentioned how John D. Rockefeller used the Baptist minister Frederick Gates at the beginning of the 20th Century, and in 1913 the Rockefeller Foundation helped organize and fund the American Social Hygiene Association "for reconsideration of public attitudes toward prostitution." This was followed by the Foundation's funding of the sex research of Alfred Kinsey beginning in the later 1930s, which would lead to an undermining of Biblical admonitions against fornication, child molestation, etc.

Silicon Insider on Digg.com Melee
At ABC News Silicon Insider, Michael Malone has an article about the Digg.com revolt that acknowledges the thuggish actions of Digg's leftist "bury brigade" against sites like LGF: The First Amendment vs. Patents in Web 2.0.
In case you don't know, Digg.com is a hugely popular Web site, mostly for young people, in which users post news stories from a vast array of sources, and their brethren either vote to keep them on the site or remove them. Stories that stay on the site move up and down the queue based upon reader interest.
That's the simple explanation, but as with all Web 2.0 community sites, it has quickly grown much more complicated than that in the last year. For example, Digg was originally focused upon science and tech stories, but has grown to include everything from entertainment to politics. And that in turn has brought with it a whole host of problems. For example, there are reports of companies and politicians buying their stories onto Digg by secretly paying for votes.
Worse, users have learned to use the "bury" feature, originally designed to get rid of spam postings, to crush stories with political perspectives (usually conservative) that don't match their own. The most notable victim of this kind of burying is one of the blogosphere's most popular sites, Little Green Footballs.
But the biggest problem with Digg is not the business itself, which is an impressive creation, but its community. One of the things we're learning about the Web 2.0 world is that all communities aren't alike; when you let millions of anonymous users design your product, you also let them determine your fate. And Digg has put itself in the hands of an army of postadolescents with too much education and too much free time, the age cohort that gets its news from "The Colbert Report" and holds the anarchistic view that all information should be, in fact, "wants to be," free.
Nothing wrong with that. Indeed, been there, done that. But now, in my gray-haired middle-age I've come to realize that if you are going to create a venue for children to play, someone has to be the grown-up. And that is where Digg blew it.
