Qualcomm chip puts 60GHz wireless gigabit into Dell Ultrabook
WiGig delivered through Wi-Fi kit
Wireless chip maker Wilocity has confirmed not only that Dell's Latitude 6430u Ultrabook will incorporate WiGig, the 60GHz gigabit wireless spec, but that the machine uses its tri-band tech courtesy of a chipset from Qualcomm's Atheros subsidiary.
WiGig, which is based on the IEEE 802.11ad specification and tacks on some cable-replacement extras, is implemented here in a chipset capable of running data through the 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands as well as 60GHz. Handy that, since 60GHz communications while fast nonetheless can't make it through walls and other obstructions.
To make use of the Latitude laptop's 60GHz capability, owners will need WiGig adaptors for their peripherals, and in their routers if they want to use it as a data network technology too.
Alas there's not yet any sign of such products from third-parties, so Dell is going to make do with an adaptor of its own that will provide a 60GHz bridge to wired peripherals. Think of it as a classic laptop dock or port replicator that you don't have to physically connect to the computer. ®

The United States of America situated mostly in central North America, lies between the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. It is a federal constitutional republic comprising 50 states and a federal district. At 9,826,675 million square kilometers and with over 308,745,538 million people, the United States (U.S.) is the third largest by both area and population. The US Economy is the world's largest national economy. English is the official language.
The U.S. Constitution is the foundation of the country's judicial system. The Constitution created three separate branches (the executive, the legislative and the judicial branches) of government with each one having its own powers and areas of influence. The country is subject to a federal government that shares sovereignty with the state governments. In addition to the federal government, the people are also subject to a state government and various units of local government like counties, municipalities, and special districts.

The State of Israel is situated on the Eastern Mediterranean, bordering Lebanon and Syria to the north and northeast, Jordan and the West Bank to the east and the Gaza Strip and Egypt to the southwest. Israel is the world's only predominantly Jewish state, with a population of 7.6 million people, of whom 5.7 million are Jewish. Arab citizens of Israel form the country's second-largest ethnic group, which includes Muslims, Christians and Druze. Israel has two official languages, Hebrew and Arabic.
Israel declared independence on May 14, 1948 and from its inception has been a liberal democracy with a parliamentary system and universal suffrage. The Prime Minister serves as head of government and the Knesset serves as Israel's legislative body.
Whilst Jerusalem is the center of Government and politics, Tel Aviv is the country's capital of business and finance. Israel is considered one of the most advanced countries in Southwest Asia in economic and industrial development. It has the second-largest number of startup companies in the world and the largest number of NASDAQ-listed companies outside North America.
In 2009, Israel had the 49th highest gross domestic product and 29th highest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita (at purchasing power parity) at $206.4 billion and $28,393, respectively. The New Israeli Shekel (ILS) was announced as one of 17 freely convertible currencies according to the CLS list.
Israel has no written constitution. The Basic Laws however function as an unwritten constitution and in 2003, the Parliament of Israel (Knesset) began to draft an official constitution based on these laws.
Israel's legal system combines English common law, Civil law and Jewish law. It is based on the principle of precedent and is an adversarial system, where the parties in the suit bring evidence before the court. Court cases are decided by professional judges rather than juries.

As a nation of some 22 million people, Australia's Migration Program is part of "nation building". Only Australian citizens have the right to enter Australia at any time without restriction. All non- citizens must have a temporary or permanent visa to enter and remain in Australia. Permanent visa holders, if they are overseas, must have a visa to re-enter Australia.
Australia's immigration law, legislative and regulatory framework
Australia's immigration laws are highly codified, complex and subject to frequent and ongoing change. The Migration Act 1958 (Commonwealth) contains the structure for controlling the entry, stay and departure of non- citizens. The Migration Regulations 1994 (Commonwealth) are subordinate legislation that set out the requirements for entry to Australia and related matters and the requirements of entry through the operation of a visa system that acts as a screening process to manage the movement of non-citizens across Australia's borders.
The legislative framework consists of over 3,000 pages. It is underpinned by layers of regulation and sub-delegated legislation (Ministerial Directions, Legislative Instruments and such like). There are 140 visa categories and nine bridging visa categories.
The Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship is the authority given the statutory discretion and decision-making powers under the regulatory scheme. It is entitled to adopt policy guidelines governing the exercise of that discretion.
The Department's policy documents contain detailed and extensive guidelines for its officers on all aspects of the legislative and regulatory scheme. These guidelines are over 16,000 pages and are subject to ongoing change.
The Department receives over 13,000 applications each day worldwide. In the financial year
2011-2012, it raised revenue from visa fees of about $1.17 billion.
Immigration law is a specialization of Australia?s administrative law. Yet, most Registered Migration Agents (RMA?s) are not lawyers. Nonetheless, they are able to provide advice and assistance in respect of a legislative scheme, which is second only to the complexity of the Australian Taxation Act legislative scheme.
The Role of the Department
The Department has responsibility for the administration of the legislation scheme and the Government's policy under the direction of the Minister of Immigration and Citizenship. It manages, administers and provides advice on migration and humanitarian policy, border control and security, Australian citizenship, multicultural affairs and settlement services. In addition to issuing visas to those entitled to lawfully enter Australia, it has a significant budget to prevent and deter non-compliance with immigration law. The Department has over 7,000 staff working at about 14 locations in Australia. It has offices in some
60 countries, which are usually attached to an Australian Embassy, Consulate or
High Commission.
Australia's Migration Program
The Australian Government determines the size and composition of Australia's Migration Program. The Migration Program focuses on Skilled, Business, Family and Humanitarian outcomes. For the year 2012-13, the Migration Program will provide for 190,000 places with a particular focus on the Permanent Skilled Migration Program. The Migration Program increasingly aims to meet Australia's population and skilled labour force needs, given the ageing of the Australian population, zero population growth and declining workforce participation.
The Migration Regulations 1994 lists the visa subclasses which are divided into Permanent, Temporary, Bridging, Protection, Refugee and Humanitarian classes. The classes consist of a number of visa subclasses.
Schedule 1 of the Migration Regulations 1994 sets out how a non-citizen must apply for a visa of a particular class. This includes the fees, the forms and the documentary evidence to support the visa application.
Temporary Visa
There are a number of temporary entry visas for skilled persons who will benefit Australia by contributing to the economic development of the Australian community.
On 24 November 2012, the Subclass 457 Business (Long Stay) Temporary Visa Program became known as the Subclass 457 (Temporary Work (Skilled)) Visa. It enables Australian and overseas businesses to sponsor skilled overseas workers to work in Australia for that business on a temporary basis for up to four years. The principles governing the entry of temporary residents are based on the premises that the employment of Australian residents is a first priority; temporary residents should not result in a financial cost to the Australian community and the temporary residents should eventually be replaced by people recruited and trained locally and that the terms and conditions of employment provided to the temporary residents must be no less favorable than those provided to an Australian citizen or Australian permanent resident to perform work in an equivalent position in that business's workplace.
The subclass 457 visa is demand-driven. It may either continue to increase in response to industry demands; may stabilize or reduce in number.
Subclass 457 Standard Business Sponsorship Requirements
There are three main steps in the approval process for an overseas skilled worker as set out below.
Sponsorship Application
The employer must lodge a sponsorship application and demonstrate that it is of good standing, it has a strong record of, or commitment, to, employing local labour and non-discriminatory employment practices; and it meets the training benchmark as part of its commitment to the ongoing training of their Australian citizen and permanent resident staff.
Nomination Application
The employer must lodge a nomination application which meets the following requirements:
The nominated position the company is seeking to fill must be on the
Skilled Occupation List (CSOL);
The base salary must meet or exceed the Temporary Skilled Migration Income
(TSMIT) which is currently $51,400 gross per annum in addition to superannuation for a
38 hour week;
The Market Salary Rate must be met for that position, namely the terms and conditions of employment of the subclass 457 applicant cannot be less favorable than those provided to Australian staff for the same position at the same
The position must meet the minimum skills threshold for that occupation. Details of the person nominated to fill the position must be provided.
Visa Application
The person nominated to fill the position must lodge a visa application and demonstrate that they have the skills relevant to the nominated position; establish that he or she is offered employment at the relevant Market Salary Rate (which cannot be below the current TSMIT of $51,400 per annum). If necessary, the foreign national must provide evidence that he or she has vocational English and provide skills assessment, if required.
Sponsorship Obligations of Approved Sponsors
Once a sponsorship is approved, as the approved standard business sponsor, the employer must meet its sponsorship obligations relating to sponsored workers who hold subclass 457 visas....

Research Assistant: Ilana Pickett Have you ever wondered how you can create 50 million jobs globally with just one swift movement of your pen?
The volume of the relocation of expert?s is estimated to reach 3.5 million globally by 2015. This phenomenon, known as global corporate relocation, has become a routine practice which enables all kinds of experts and essential professionals to be relocated from their countries of residence to another country for a limited period of time, in the course of their work. The draft proposal of the Global Corporate Relocation Treaty provides a global solution for the problems that impede the corporate relocation process throughout the world. The proposed treaty introduces a world-wide approach for the relocation of experts which facilitates the transfer of all kinds of knowledge and know-how in multi-national corporations, and throughout the business sector.
The draft proposal of the GCRT has been adopted by the International Bar Association Global Employment Institute (IBA GEI), for further development by a dedicated sub-committee chaired by Graeme Kirk. The IBA GEI has called upon the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development for consideration of the GCRT based on a signed MoU for cooperation on migration and several other issues, and is now awaiting a reply.
The draft of the GCRT was initiated and is being led by Tsvi Kan-Tor with the objective of increasing compliance and business transparency through the following goals: to establish legal standing rights to any foreign business entity regarding experts? relocation, set global legal principles and guidelines through recommended best practices and ensure unification on consensus issues. The principals set forth in the GCRT encourage transparency, flexibility and stability in relocation practices which enable the signatory countries to know the procedures in advance while maintaining and protecting their core legitimate interests. The treaty will also provide a flexible platform to facilitate specific arrangements on non-consensus issues between any group of countries through the use of protocols and multi-lateral agreements.
In recent years, global corporate relocation has expanded at a rapid pace, reaching new and previously unseen levels of about 2.3 million experts per year. To date, each country in the world has its own laws and regulations over the issuance of work permits to foreign experts and managers. In the absence of a treaty regarding corporate relocation, any company that wishes to relocate experts may face difficulties and unknowns throughout the process.
The GCRT will not only minimize these risks and lay the foundation for the creation and realization of business opportunities; it will also foster the creation of 50M jobs worldwide. (Research indicates that 15 jobs are created in the country of destination by each expert transferred, and also aids in job creation in the country of origin and third countries.)
Any comments and insights regarding this venture are important and valued by the sub-committee. If you would like to become involved in the GCRT, or for further information, please contact Graeme Kirk, email@example.com, or Tsvi Kan-Tor, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Argentina is a federation of 23 provinces situated in South America. The autonomous city of Buenos Aires is its capital and largest city. It is the eighth-largest country in the world by size and the largest Spanish speaking nation. The estimated Population is 40,000,000 and it covers an area of 1,068,302 square miles.
Argentine legal system derives from Civil Law. The two principle pillars of the civil system are the Argentine Constitution (1853) and the Civil Code (1871). Argentina's Constitution, like that of most Latin American countries, is very explicit and it is the fundamental source of Argentine law. The Constitution entitles the Congress to enact the Codes concerning civil, commercial, criminal, mineral, labour and social security matters.
The national government is composed of three branches:
Legislative: The bicameral Congress, made up of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, makes federal law, declares war, approves treaties, and has the power of impeachment.
Executive: The president is the commander-in-chief of the military and appoints the members of the Cabinet and other officers, who administer and enforce federal laws and policies.
Judicial: The Supreme Court and lower federal courts, whose judges are appointed by the president with Senate approval, interpret laws and overturn those they find unconstitutional. There are two court systems, the Federal Court System and the Provincial Court System.
The Argentine Immigration Law n? 25,871 was enacted in January 2004 and it guarantees immigrants the right to equal treatment, non-discrimination and access to educational, medical and social services. The Immigration Law sets forth the conditions immigrants must comply with in order to enter and stay in Argentina under four different categories: permanent residency, temporary residency, transitory residency and provisional residency. The regulation of the Immigration law was enacted in May 2010 with decree 616/2010, providing an interpretation and a clearer explanation on how the Immigration Law should be applied by the Immigration Department. Visitors from many countries do not need visas to enter Argentina as tourists (transitory residency) so they can enter the country just presenting their passport at the border or airport checkpoint. Tourist visitors from Australia, USA and Canada are required to pay a ?reciprocity fee? when visiting Argentina as tourists but visas are not required. The authorised stay for tourists is up to 90 days and this term can be extended for another 90 days at the Immigrations Department. For most residencies or visas other than tourist, a formal filing must be submitted at the Argentine Consulates abroad or the Immigration Department, in order to obtain the appropriate residency visa.
Temporary Residency
Temporary residencies are established in provision 23 of the Immigration Law 25,871, where more than 12 different subcategories are set forth, including the employment residency. Temporary residencies are typically granted for an initial period of 12 months, and renewable thereafter in similar increments. Temporary residents have an unrestricted right to work only during the term authorised by the Immigrations Department. Employers who hire foreign nationals without the proper immigrations work permits are subject to fines up to US$ 20,000 approx. per employee as of the date of this article.
Employment Residency
Argentine Immigration Law n?25,871 sets forth in provision 23 item ?A? the employment residency visas a ?temporary residency? subcategory.
The work visas or employment residencies petition scan be processed at the Argentine Consulates abroad with an Entry Permit issued by the Immigrations Department or within the Argentine territory if the applicant has already entered Argentina typically as a tourist or a student, since the regulations do allow petitioners to adjust their status from tourists to workers without having to exit Argentina, in this last case the filing is done directly at the Argentine Immigrations Department in Argentina without the intervention of the Consulates. The physical presence of the employee is required the day the petition is filed since biometric data (fingerprints) will be taken for the issuance of the National Identity Card.
Any employer willing to hire foreign nationals to work in Argentina and sponsor them for a work residency must first be registered at the Registry of Sponsors of Foreign Nationals (RENURE).
In all cases, applicants of work residencies need a ?sponsoring employer? willing to offer them a labour contract which will have to be filed at the Immigrations Department along with the proof of registration of the employer at the Registry of Sponsors of Foreign Nationals. Self-employed applicants are not eligible for employment residency.
Employers sponsoring an applicant for a work residency do not have to go through labour certification (prove that they are not displacing argentine workers) nor they have to prove that the foreign nationals have high levels of professional skills or qualifications needed by the Argentine labour market. There are neither restrictions nor quotas of foreign employees that companies or individuals can hire. Therefore the regulations are quite relaxed in this respect.
Employers who wish to hire foreign nationals, as previously mentioned, must fulfill the registration at the RENURE and eventually immigrations could request the employer to prove sufficient economic capacity to pay the salaries of the sponsored worker. The salaries offered to foreign nationals by the employers must fulfill the minimum salary established by law or by the collective work agreements of the workers union.
It is required that all applicants submit their criminal records background check from the countries where they have lived during the past three years prior to the petition. Names recorded in these records must be complete and stated identically as the names in the applicants? passport.
Translation of documents that will be filed at the Argentine Immigrations Department must be translated by Official Public Translators of Argentina and legalised by the Association of Public Translators in Argentina, any other type of foreign and/or unofficial translations are not accepted.
Something that is worth mentioning is that the Argentina regulations allow the worker to start working right from the first day he or she entered the petition of work residency or visa at the Immigration Department assuming that the petitioner is already present in the Argentine territory. This means that while the file is under review and pending, until a decision has been made, the applicant receives a provisional residency called ?Precaria? that allows him or her to start working right away and to obtain a social security number called CUIL at the local Social Security office called ANSES. If the petition is denied, this provisional authorization will be revoked.
During the processing of the work visa, Immigrations randomly conducts inspections at the employer?s premises to corroborate that the worker is actually fulfilling on site the work relation that has been reported to immigrations with the petition. In the event of inspections it is important that foreign nationals have their proper documents with them: valid provisional residency, valid temporary residency and/or valid national identity card to prove their legal status.
Upon termination of the employment agreement either by quitting or dismissal, the employer has 15 days to inform the RENURE about this termination and the circumstances related to it under penalty of fines and other sanctions.
Sponsoring employers must keep their RENURE registrations up to date and have an obligation to serve notice to immigrations of any change in the work relationship with the worker such as dismissal or quitting. Failing to inform the Immigrations Department of any changes in the employment relationship can result in the cancellation of the registration as a sponsor.
In summary, the steps for obtaining a work residency are: (i) proof of registration of the employer at the RENURE (ii) employment contract (iii) foreign and argentine criminal background check (iv)a proof of domicile. The filing fee of a work residency done within Argentina at the Immigrations Department is about US$ 125/-.
Once filed the work residency petition, immigrations will issue the provisional residency that will allow the employee to obtain the social security number (CUIL) and later on to be registered as the employee of the company before the Tax Agency (AFIP). Once fulfilled the petitioner must inform Immigrations he or she is included in the payroll and duly registered at AFIP, so that Immigrations can grant the residency and after that issue the National Identity Card that will be received via mail in the declared address.
Business Visas
By resolution 1,171/2010 the regulations for foreign nationals who enter Argentina to conduct businesses or market research for investments. These Business Visas are considered to be the type mentioned under provision 24 item H of the Immigration Law.
The type of activities allowed by this Business Visa are making business, trade or financial negotiations and it also includes those entering the country in order to participate in exhibitions or fairs.
The term of stay for these business visas is two months tourist visas and one extension for a term of equal length is permitted, making in total four months stay for the petitioner.
The filing is initiated at the Argentine Immigrations Department Entry Permit Unit by a representative of the immigrant and when the entry permit is issued, the applicant must present him or herself at the Argentine Consulate in the country where he lives, to have his passport stamped. Each Argentine Consulate abroad has some specific procedures that change from Consulate to Consulate on how to apply resolution 1.171/2010, so it must be checked on a case per case basis. The inviting company or institution will be required to be registered at RENURE.
In general, the steps for obtaining a business visa are: ....

Handling decimal separators - Wiki article
Posted 23 January 2012 - 01:12 AM
A localized web app should:
1- Display decimal values with the local decimal separator.
2- Allow entering decimal values with the local decimal separator.
I posted a wiki article explaining a procedure to get it done. Wiki article
Please add your comments, suggestions, etc, here.
Posted 23 January 2012 - 03:07 AM
Storing proper values in models also helps when doing any calculations.
Filtering this way helps validation anyway, since you can remove common typos before validation (or not).
BTW I'm doing the same with dates, filtering with date('Y-m-d',strtotime($date)) to allow almost any input format, not just Y-m-d that the DB requires.
Posted 23 January 2012 - 09:18 AM
I'm curious, why are you storing decimal values as integer instead of DECIMAL?

I always considered such formats as an unnecessary hassle. AFAIR I've never needed it for anything other than monetary values with a fixed scale of 2. Easy to remember, no need to write it down in a schema definition.
Following the PostgreSQL manual (sorry for no link, it looks I'm too new here):
I'm not saying it's wrong in any way, just my preference. Using decimals would hint any generators using db schema how to build validation rules, but it's not much effort to correct that by hand, especially if I do it once in a project lifetime. And I like to know where/when/how rounding happens when doing some calculations on user input.
A little digression - recently I learned that ROUND function in a popular spreadsheet software works different in cell expressions than in it's macro language. And I learned it the hard way - by debugging.

Round and decimal precision is a hassle many times in many languages. Javascript, for example, just SUCKS handling decimal precision. Just try this:
num *= 100;
Javascript will show 16229.499999999998 instead of 16229.5 !!! So, be warned, handling decimal values in javascript is not safe at all. In fact, it's dangerous.

Can you elaborate on that "etc" in your phrase ? It seems only gridviews and detailviews have this ability to format their output. It would have been nice that indeed any component could be instructed to use a formatter, but alas.
Why is there a 'type' property foreseen on a CDataColumn, but is it not possible to pass type information when creating for example an activeTextField so that it too would call the appropriate formatter ?

Seventh Defendant [Tony Nonso Obi] Sentenced To Federal Prison In Multi-Million-Dollar Health Care Fraud Case
HOUSTON—Tony Nnonso Obi, 56, a naturalized United States citizen from the Federal Republic of Nigeria, has been sentenced to 41 months in federal prison for his role in a massive health care fraud conspiracy that billed the Medicare and Medicaid programs for more than $45 million, United States Attorney Kenneth Magidson announced today. Obi entered a plea of guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and one count of money laundering in August of this year. As part of his plea, Obi admitted to entering into an agreement with the owner of City Nursing, Umawa Imo, to receive 15 percent of the money City Nursing obtained from Medicare for services billed on individuals referred to City Nursing by Obi, or on Obi's behalf. Imo, who is currently serving more than 27 years in federal prison for his role in the conspiracy, paid Obi $1,051,425.28.
At least three of the beneficiaries taken to City Nursing by Obi were individuals living in his assisted living facility. Obi also admitted to paying beneficiaries and recruiters and handling office matters when Imo was out of the office. The City Nursing case has to date seen the conviction of a total of nine individuals, seven of which have now been sentenced to federal prison. The investigation into City Nursing was the result of the joint efforts by special agents of the FBI and Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation and investigators from the Texas Attorney General's Office-Medicare Fraud Control Unit.
Assistant United States Attorney Julie Redlinger is prosecuting the case.

Bond increased for stepmother
A judge increased bond Wednesday for a woman police consider a person of interest in her stepdaughter's homicide investigation.
Judge Robert Mullinax Jr. increased Elisa Baker's bond for a felony obstruction of justice charge from $40,000 to $65,000, citing "particularly disturbing and unsettling allegations" against her.
Elisa Baker, 42, is the stepmother of Zahra Baker, the 10-year-old girl who was reported missing Oct. 9 from her Hickory home. Police are searching for Zahra in a homicide investigation, but they say they have hope she is alive.
Elisa Baker's obstructing justice charge stems from her admission Oct. 11 that she wrote a ransom note demanding $1 million, which was found on the Baker property the day Zahra was reported missing.
Elisa Baker's attorney, Scott Reilly, called for the bond hearing after her first appearance in court Oct. 13. Reilly argued that Baker's $40,000 bond was excessive.
Reilly waived Elisa Baker's right to appear in court, and Elisa Baker instead appeared at the hearing by video camera from Catawba County jail.
Chief Assistant District Attorney Eric Bellas, who asked Mullinax to raise Elisa Baker's bond to $100,000, presented evidence at the bond hearing to prove she is a flight risk and a threat to the community.
"The only time the defendant comes to court is when the sheriff's office brings her directly to jail," Bellas said.
Bellas cited 15 instances in Elisa Baker's past where her driver's license was suspended for failing to appear in court. Bellas also said Elisa Baker has unserved warrants from 2010, 2009, 2007 and 2003.
Elisa Baker's biological daughter, Amber Fairchild, testified at the hearing, saying she feared for her family's safety if her mother was released from jail.
"If she was to get out (of jail), I would have to leave the state," said Fairchild, who has three children of her own.
Fairchild said her mother had no less than five residences since moving back to North Carolina in 2008 after living briefly in Zahra and Adam Baker's native country Australia.
This includes residences in Hickory, Hudson and Granite Falls. Fairchild said Elisa Baker lived in Hickory with Elisa Baker's father. Elisa Baker and her father, however, had a falling out after Elisa Baker purchased items in her father's name.
Fairchild also testified her mother used the Internet to contact a man living in London, and during the course of one year, the man gave Elisa Baker $10,000.
Elisa Baker met her husband, Adam Baker, on the Internet.
Elisa Baker appeared stoic throughout the hearing, even after Mullinax increased her bond amount.
Wednesday's increase in bond for Elisa Baker brings her total bond amount to $97,200, an amount Elisa Baker can't pay, Reilly said.
He said Elisa Baker has no assets or income and is awaiting disability money for conditions of Lupus and seizures.
Reilly blamed the increase on media presence and publicity surrounding the case.
He said bond amounts should be based on severity of the charges and a defendant's prior criminal history, not on a case's notoriety.
"All we want is some consistency and fairness," he said.
Reilly said presentation of evidence doesn't normally happen during a bond hearing.
Mullinax mandated that if Elisa Baker makes bond, she is required to wear an electronic monitoring device, have a curfew from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. and surrender her passport.

France places a minimum stockholding obligation on industry operators and requires that a significant part of this obligation be delegated to its public stockholding agency.
France fulfils its minimum stockholding requirements to both the IEA and the European Union by placing stockholding obligations on industry operators. Each of them is required to hold a volume equivalent to 27% of the stock released for inland consumption in the previous calendar year. In this way, France ensures a minimum coverage of 98.6 days of consumption.
In meeting the 27% stockholding requirement, industry operators are obliged to hold a portion of their obligation through a central stockholding agency, CPSSP/SAGESS. They may choose to delegate either 56% or 90% of their stockholding commitment to the agency. Thus, companies are directly responsible for either 44% or 10% of their strategic reserve obligation and are able to co-mingle this amount with their operational stocks.
Typically, industry participants such as hypermarket companies (which have an obligation due to the sales of vehicle motor gasoline or diesel oil, and heating oil) choose to delegate the maximum possible volume to the agency and to meet their remaining obligation by owned stocks or even through tickets. Operators, such as refiners, typically opt to hold themselves 44% of their obligation.
The stockholding requirement on industry operators covers four product categories: motor gasoline, diesel/heating oil, kerosene jet fuel and fuel oil. According to EU legislation, companies are able to substitute the product obligation with crude oil. The product mix of emergency reserves reflects domestic demand patterns and, thus, consists mainly of diesel/heating oil.
The part of oil held by CPSSP/SAGESS depends on the option chosen by the industry operators. However, there is a trend towards greater amounts being delegated to the agency as the market share of hypermarket companies grows year by year.
All storage capacity in France is owned by industry operators, and is located primarily at the refineries and close to main oil ports. Stocks held to meet the emergency reserve obligation must be stored in storage tanks approved by SAGESS. However, there is no obligation to separate these emergency reserves from commercial stocks.
In order to maintain a wide geographical distribution of emergency reserves, CPSSP/SAGESS stores gasoline and middle distillates reserves in each of the seven defence zones that include the French territory. Reserves in each zone should represent no less than 10 days of gasoline consumption and 15 days of middle distillates consumption. A maximum of 10% of company stocks can be held in other EU countries, provided that those stocks are subject to bilateral agreements. Currently, France has agreements with Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg and Spain. An informal agreement exists with the United Kingdom.

Fido and Me – Scratch and Sniff
"I guess I'm just as much an artist as any other dog around here,"
Fido said. "But I'm missing out."
We were rambling around, here and there. Sometimes I give Fido his choice, more or less, where we wander. It's when I'm leashed to him instead of the other way around.
We were standing outside the Mammoth Gallery. Fido peered inside the window.
"Whatever happened to scratch and sniff?" he demanded.
"Gosh, Fido, I don't know. I suppose you can still find scratch-and-sniff kinds of things. Did you check the Internet?"
He seemed nonplussed, and there didn't seem much in getting around that. He's the most nonplussiest hound I've ever known.
"What gives, old boy?" I said.
"I have artistic cravings, too, just like you. The music you play at home, particularly the classical, is just so dreamy, it's almost like listening to announcers at a golf tournament on TV."
"What do you like most about it?"
"The dynamic range," Fido said. "Especially Mahler."
"What's that got to do with what you're seeing at the Mammoth Gallery?"
"I am as blind as a mole, and it's mostly a black-and-white world out there," Fido said. "But I can see just enough to know a Padelsky from a Stimson, or a Clevenger from a Dittli, and I, being a canine, love the black-and-whites by Joel St. Marie."
"Please go on," I said, although I kind of figured where he was going with this.
"It's just that … that … I don't really get it."
"It might be because you are a dog, and that's nothing to sniff at."
"Sniff? That's exactly where I was going with this."
"I figured."
Fido seemed to have it all marked out, so to speak.
"When I see a Padelsky, what I really want is the scent of horses on a trail, a Dutch Oven in the ground, with biscuits and campfire coffee. When I see a Dittli, I want to know what the heck is in those mountains, way up there! Fresh lake water, cold as a banker's heart!"
"Are you quite through?"
"Stimson's great," Fido said, "but I want to smell the grasses and rushes, and hear the fly line spin off his reel. And with Clevenger, I want to go to Mexico so bad I can almost taste the sun and shadows. I want to chase horses with St. Marie."
"There are quite a few more artists around here," I said.
"But it would be the same thing! Maybe if you run into Londie or John, Jim, Joel or Vern, you can maybe hip them to the idea of a scratch and sniff version of their art. You know, for dogs."
"I'm not so sure I'd want to ask any of them that particular question, really. I know a dog is not burdened with pride, but we humans are."
"OK, then," Fido said. "Maybe just write something down in the paper?"
With that, Fido raised his nose, put in a few hearty sniffs, and off we went to somewhere else.

Design Intent vs reality
Our company gave our third of four AU lectures today. I'm so proud of the job Alix did so I can't harass him anymore and say he only does Desk BIM. He's definitely a well versed architect and it's amazing what a small firm like ours is doing with BIM and Navisworks.
The truth is, it's all my fault for showing him Navisworks in 2010 and there's nothing more fun than to show an architect a $10,000 to $12,000 piece of software and ask them why they're not fully doing BIM. Well, today's presentation was awesome, but it did pop up a thought into my BIM Brain.
I wish all of you BIM people would stop referring to your models as "Design Intent". After all, I always say that design intent means that you intended to design something, but here are two lines and you figure it out.
After seeing the level of detail in Alix's presentation, I don't know why we all don't call what were doing "Construction Intent". After all, everything is in the model. It looks just like the real building will. There is so much more there than just design intent.
It should be called a CIM, Construction Intent Model. The best part is that CIM sounds like Sim as in Simulation. You are simulating the real building digitally. I hope that gives you something to think about.

At a Glance
The Secret in the Cellar - a webcomic based on an authentic forensic case.
School programs are available in Q?rius from October through June.
Through forensic studies of bones, scientists use the tools and technology of the 21st-century to shed light on the people, places, and stories of the past. The exhibition examined history through 17th-century bone biographies, including those of colonists teetering on the edge of survival at Jamestown, Virginia, and those of wealthy and well-established individuals of St. Mary's City, Maryland. At no other time in our history have we had the technological capability or opportunity now available to help us tell this tale.
**Update: The Forensic Anthropology Lab is permanently CLOSED.
The Forensic Anthropology Lab was part of the temporary exhibition Written in Bone.
Forensic anthropology school programs are now offered in Q?rius, The Coralyn W. Whitney Science Education Center. Browse all school programs.

As the pipe inlets for this designer radiator are positioned on the side you do not have to worry about which type of valve you need. Whether your pipes come up from the floor or directly from out of the wall you will require a pair of BigBathroomShop.co.uk angled radiator valves in order to connect this product to your central heating system. For perfect results we recommend that you choose a pair of valves from the BigBathroomShop.co.uk range.
Out Of Stock (Awaiting Due Date)
Radiator efficiency, is measured in British Thermal Units (BTU). The dimensions of a room are used to calculate the BTU output required to heat that room. Radiators all have a known and calculated BTU output. Using the BTU outputs in the Product Specification or description above, it is easy to calculate the size of radiator you need to help provide the total heat output necessary for your room.
The best way is to ask your plumber to perform the calculation for you. If you don't have access to a plumber, you can use the BTU Calculator below as a guide. Please note that the calculated figure relates to the combined heat output of all radiators in the room, therefore the towel rail or radiator that you purchase need not satisfy the entire BTU output if it is used to complement existing radiators.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Encourages Investors Who Suffered Substantial Losses Investing In Family Dollar Stores, Inc. To Contact The Firm
Feb 22, 2013, 09:09 EST
NEW YORK, Feb. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential securities fraud at Family Dollar Stores, Inc. ("Family Dollar" or the "Company") (NYSE : FDO ).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120119/MM38856LOGO )
The investigation focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that: (1) the Company's efforts to increase sales on low margin goods had caused a significant reduction in Family Dollar's profits for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 and December 2012; (2) price cuts initiated for the purpose of moving less salable inventory had also diminished profits for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 and December 2012; (3) Family Dollar's sales of more profitable discretionary goods had significantly underperformed expectations in the first quarter of 2013 and during December 2012; and (4) excess inventories in Family Dollar's stores would significantly weigh down 2013 profitability.
On January 3, 2013, Family Dollar issued a pre-market press release disclosing that sales in the Company's first quarter 2013 – which had ended November 24, 2012 – had failed to meet expectations and slashed the Company's 2013 financial guidance. The price of Family Dollar stock dropped on this news, falling $8.30 per share – or approximately 13% – to close at $55.74 per share on January 3, 2012.
Family Dollar's senior executives had sold their own Family Dollar stock at inflated prices, including its Chief Executive Officer who sold more than $15.6 million worth of his Family Dollar stock between October 3, 2012 and January 2, 2013.

Remember Eric Holder? The failed president and media would prefer you not. Well, he'll be back in the news tomorrow.
House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa plans to sue Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday for refusing to provide documents related to the "Fast and Furious" gun-smuggling operation.
"The committee expects to file the civil contempt suit against the attorney general Monday," a Republican source said. The suit will be filed in the federal district court for the District of Columbia.
The action is the latest escalation in the dispute between House Republicans and the Justice Department over the documents, which relate to a botched gun-smuggling operation.
On June 28, the House voted to hold Holder in contempt of Congress and authorized the Oversight panel to bring suit to enforce its rights.
In Fast and Furious, agents for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives allowed assault guns to "walk," which meant ending surveillance on weapons suspected to be en route to Mexican drug cartels.
The tactic, which was intended to allow agents to track criminal networks by finding the guns at crime scenes, was condemned after two guns that were part of the operation were found at Border Patrol agent Brian Terry's murder scene.
Using Obama campaign logic, that makes both Obama and Holder directly responsible for Terry's murder.
