6th edition (2002)
The Frascati Manual was originally written by and for the experts in OECD member countries who collect and issue national data on research and development (R&D). Over the years, it has become the standard of conduct for R&D surveys and data collection not only in the OECD and the European Union, but also in several non-member economies, for example, through the science and technology surveys of the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS).

Annex 7. Other S&T indicators
Annex 8. Practical methods of providing up-to-date estimates and projections of resources devoted to R&D
Annex 9. R&D deflators and currency converters
Annex 10. Supplementary guidance on the classification of large R&D projects with special reference to the defence and aerospace industries
Annex 11. Correspondence between categories of R&D personnel by occupation in the Frascati Manual and ISCO-88 classes
Revised Field of Science and Technology (FOS) classification
The review of the FOS classification was discussed several times in the framework of the last revision of the Frascati Manual (2002). In particular, it was felt at the time that the FOS classification – the most appropriate classification for R&D in the public sector – needed to be reexamined in order to reflect the latest changes in the science and technology area, especially with regard to emerging technology fields such as ICT, biotechnology and nanotechnology. This revised classification (download here) was issued in 2007.
Annex on measuring R&D in developing countries
Despite the Frascati Manual's widespread use, significant usage gaps remain, especially in Africa, Central and South Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. There is widespread interest in the nature and role of R&D in developing countries, raising questions on how it should be measured within the guidelines set out in the Frascati Manual. A new annex released in 2012 (download here) provides an initial attempt to address some of the most salient issues.
The preparation of this annex on how to use OECD guidelines to measure R&D in developing economies was coordinated by the UIS in partnership with the OECD Secretariat under the auspices of the OECD Working Party of National Experts on Science and Technology Indicators (NESTI). Building on the existing Oslo Manual annex on innovation surveys in developing countries, this work was a contribution to the OECD Strategy for Development.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's re-election campaign is morphing into a non-profit group that will try to build public support for the president's policy goals, including gun control and an overhaul of immigration laws.
The group, which was announced on Friday in a video featuring first lady Michelle Obama, is similar in structure to the non-profit groups that pumped millions of dollars into ads during last year's presidential campaign. The group will be known as Organizing for Action and be led by Jim Messina, who managed Obama's re-election campaign.
The move signals that the Democratic president wants his formidable political organization to be a lobbying partner in policy debates in Washington - perhaps beyond his second term in the White House, which expires in January 2017.
It also reflects something of an evolution in Obama's thinking about big-money groups that have become a significant influence in American politics.
During the 2012 presidential campaign, Obama was initially a critic of such non-profit groups, saying they could allow the wealthy to have a disproportionate impact on elections and policy. Such groups can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money and do not have to disclose their donors as long as they do not specifically advocate for political candidates.
Democratic officials said on Friday that while it was not required to do so, Organizing for Action would disclose the names of its donors. It was unclear whether the group would disclose the amount each donor contributes.
Non-profits - along with sister groups known as "Super PACs" that support candidates directly, but must disclose their donors - helped make the 2012 campaign the most expensive in U.S. history.
Obama, his Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, and their allies spent about $2 billion during the campaign, most of it on ads attacking the other side.
Messina said the restructured group was an effort by senior Democratic officials who helped Obama win a second term to transfer the energy and passion from the campaign to backing Obama's second-term agenda.
"We'll continue to support the president in creating jobs and growing the economy from the middle out, and in fighting for issues like immigration reform, climate change, balanced deficit reduction and reducing gun violence," Messina said.
Some Democrats said the group could help Obama avoid the loss of momentum and focus that often hits second-term presidents.
Obama outlined a plan this week to reduce gun violence by proposing that Congress issue a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips. In coming months, he will push for an immigration overhaul, and he is locked in a battle with congressional Republicans over taxes and spending.
"Let's be clear, all that hard work was about more than one election," Michelle Obama said in the video on the new group's website. "So if we want to finish what we started and truly make the change we believe in, we can't stop now."
The new group is distinct from a group called Organizing for America, which emerged from Obama's 2008 election. It fell under the auspices of the Democratic National Committee and was not as effective as many Democrats had hoped.
Democratic officials involved in the new group said it would focus on issues, not work for candidates. Organizing for Action will not accept donations from lobbyists, Democratic officials said.
Even so, Viveca Novak, spokeswoman for the Center for Responsive Politics, a campaign finance watchdog, called the new group "another way that funders can kind of ingratiate themselves with people in power."
But, Novak added, "we think that disclosure (of the group's donors) is critical."
Andy Smith, a political science professor at the University of New Hampshire, said it was uncertain how effective the new group would be.
"I don't know what the strategy will be to move people and the tactics that they are going to use," Smith said. "But it's interesting and certainly a way to capitalize on the networks of people they have. It's like the machine is built and still together, why not try to use it?"

Gee.... if that isn't a bit of a dillemma for 'ole Buttman and Shanaban. Do you placate Jeremy Jacobs and the morally outraged mobs of yobs in Boston by suspending the A-Train for the rest of the season, or do you do right by Loyal League guy Lamoriello and go lenient? I wager Buttman and the league will remember the Kovalchuk contract and damn Volchenkov to purgatory for the rest of the regular season, maybe part of the playoffs.Hockey Widow wrote:From the NHL.com:
Marchand left the game and didn't return after getting elbowed in the head by Devils defenseman Anton Volchenkov with 4:49 left in the second period. He needed help off the ice from Andrew Ference and Jaromir Jagr and headed straight for the dressing room.
Now normally I don't like to see players get hurt but well, its scum bag and if you catch the replay I can't help but think he embellished, he did take a nasty elbow but I'll believe he is really hurt when he misses a few games.
Volchenkov laid a nasty and he will gets suspended a few games for that one, but, well, it was scum bag.
...and after the suspension is announced, Marchand will be right back in the lineup joking with the training staff that he was 'trying to draw a Fiver'.

Graziano da Silva meets Bulgaria's Minister for Agriculture and Food
3 April 2014, Bucharest, Romania – In the course of a meeting between FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva and Bulgaria's Minister for Agriculture and Food Dimitar Grekov, it was agreed to expand cooperation between Bulgaria and FAO – particularly in the course of implementing the 2014-2020 National Development Strategy in the framework of an European Commission programme for agriculture and rural development.
At the meeting, the Minister highlighted the Government's commitment to supporting small family farms and giving greater recognition to their role in ensuring the country's food supply.
The Bulgarian Government is confident this support will result in expanded agro-production and benefit small farmers.
The meeting took place on the margins of the 29th FAO Regional Conference for Europe, which is the Organization's governing body for the Europe and Central Asia region.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A Seoul court has sentenced a pro-North Korea activist to four years in prison for breaking South Korean law by visiting Pyongyang illegally and praising the country.
The Seoul Central District Court says it sentenced No Su-hui on Friday for traveling to North Korea from China last year to honor Kim Jong Il 100 days after the North Korean leader's death.
Visiting North Korea without government approval is punishable by up to 10 years in prison under South Korea's National Security Law.
Tension is high on the Korean Peninsula as Pyongyang appears to be preparing for its third nuclear test. No's organization didn't answer a call looking for comment Friday.
The two Koreas are still technically at war after the 1950-53 Korean War ended in a truce.

Newcomers Make Immediate Impact
Husker newcomers played a pivotal role in Nebraska's matches over the weekend, as Kelsey Robinson, Mary Pollmiller, Amber Rolfzen, Kelly Hunter and Justine Wong-Orantes all saw substantial playing time. Newcomers produced 63 kills (44 percent) , 117 assists (89 percent), 147 digs (90 percent) and 17 aces (100 percent) for the Huskers at the Marcia E. Hamilton Classic.
Freshmen Amber Rolfzen and Justine Wong-Orantes became just the ninth and 10th true freshmen, respectively, to start a season opener during Coach John Cook's career at Nebraska. Wong-Orantes became Nebraska's first true-freshman libero to start a match since Lara Dykstra in 2011.
Dominant Effort Against Louisiana-Monroe
The Huskers produced one of the more dominant showings in program history on Friday, Aug. 30 as they swept Louisiana-Monroe in three sets. The 36 points scored by ULM was the fewest points allowed by a Husker opponent in a three-set match during the rally-scoring era. The Huskers also held ULM to just four points in the third set, which is a school record low for a Husker opponent in the rally scoring era. The previous low had been seven points, most recently against Duquesne in 2012. The Huskers also held ULM to an NCAA record zero kills in the third set.
Robinson and Wong-Orantes named to All-Tournament team
Nebraska senior Kelsey Robinson and freshman Justine Wong-Orantes were honored last weekend as they were selected to the Marcia E. Hamilton Classic All-Tournament Team. Robinson led the Huskers offensively over the weekend, posting a total of 34 kills (3.40 kills/set), a .329 hitting percentage and six aces. Wong-Orantes led NU defensively with 42 total digs (4.20 digs/set) and also had two aces.
Huskers Call the Devaney Center Home
The Nebraska volleyball program opened a new era in its storied tradition by moving into a new permanent home court for the first time in almost 40 years. When Nebraska played its preseason Red-White Match on Saturday, Aug. 24, 2013, the Bob Devaney Sports Center became the official home of Husker volleyball. The Devaney Center, which received $20 million in renovations designed to create the nation's premier home court advantage for volleyball, will allow nearly 4,000 more Nebraska fans per game to watch their beloved Huskers.
Nebraska volleyball, which carried the nation's longest home sellout streak in the history of any NCAA women's sport with 181 consecutive sellouts (2001-12) at the historic NU Coliseum, has guaranteed another season of sellouts in its first year at the Devaney Center. Not only did the Huskers quickly sell out the new 7,907-seat capacity at the Devaney Center long before the season began, they also have room for nearly 400 standing-room seats at each game and a season-ticket waiting list of well over 1,000.
During the last two decades, Nebraska has ranked among the nation's top three volleyball programs in average home attendance every season. In 2012, the Huskers finished second nationally by averaging 4,287 fans per match. Hawaii, the NCAA's annual attendance leader for many years, drew 6,675 per home match in 2012. As the Huskers' new home in 2013, the Devaney Center will put Nebraska in position to lead the nation in volleyball attendance on an annual basis.
The renovations to the Devaney Center have done much more than change the capacity. Massive red ceiling trusses helped create a similar environment in the arena to the Huskers' former home in the Coliseum. A great wall, which replicates the old Coliseum entry, adds to an atmosphere steeped in tradition. While the new Devaney Center pays homage to the history of the Coliseum, which served as the home to Husker NCAA Championship teams in 1995, 2000 and 2006, the innovative design and technological advances inside also symbolize the visionary contributions of AVCA All-Time Great Coaches Terry Pettit and John Cook.
Huskers Find Even More Talent for 2013
Head Coach John Cook's 2013 Huskers include 10 talented additions. NU welcomed true freshmen Alexa Ethridge, Kelly Hunter, Melanie Keil, Kira Larson, Brenna Lyles, Amber Rolfzen, Kadie Rolfzen and Justine Wong-Orantes and transfers Mary Pollmiller and Kelsey Robinson.
The 2013 recruiting class was regarded as one of the best in the nation, with four players ranked as the top-25 prospects in the nation. Kadie Rolfzen came in at No. 5, while Amber Rolfzen was ranked eighth, Kelly Hunter was ranked 13th and Kira Larson was ranked 23rd.
Broekhuis Looks to Excel in Final Season
Nebraska senior Morgan Broekhuis embarks on her final season with the Huskers in 2013. She has produced a solid Husker career, including being named a 2011 AVCA Honorable-Mention All-American and Honorable-Mention All-Big Ten honoree. She closed out the 2012 season by earning NCAA Omaha Regional All-Tournament Team honors. She helped the Huskers to a second-place finish in the Big Ten in 2012 and was named to the CoSIDA Academic Second-Team District Seven squad. Broekhuis averaged 2.73 kills, 0.19 aces, 1.34 digs and 0.64 blocks per set on the season, posted 75 total assists in 2012 and notched at least five assists on five occasions. She was key for the Huskers in their win over defending NCAA Champion UCLA, notching 15 kills against the Bruins and the final two kills of the fifth set to seal the victory. She closed the season with 16 kills and six digs in a four-set loss to Oregon in the NCAA Regional Final.
Haggerty to Follow Up Successful Freshman Campaign
Meghan Haggerty became just the eighth true freshman to start a season opener during Coach John Cook's career at Nebraska in 2012. She was named an AVCA Honorable-Mention All-American and All-Mideast selection and also earned Big Ten All-Freshman honors. Haggerty was honored with Big Ten Freshman of the Week accolades four times in 2012. She led the Huskers in hitting efficiency (.333) as a freshman and recorded a hitting percentage of .300 or better 18 times in 2012. Haggerty averaged 1.98 kills and 0.97 blocks per set and finished eighth in the conference in hitting percentage with an average of .333. She posted a team-high 17 kills against UCLA, notching a .600 hitting percentage (17-2-25). Her 17 kills were the most by a Nebraska middle blocker since Tracy Stalls tallied 17 (17-2-26) against UCLA during the 2006 National Semifinal match.
Thramer to Lead the Huskers in 2013
Senior Hayley Thramer suffered a knee injury in the spring of 2013 that will sideline her from competing during her senior season. She will fill the role as student coach and will help lead the Huskers in 2013.
Cook Selects Team Captains
Coach Cook selected team captains for the 2013 season prior to the Red/White Match. He selected Morgan Broekhuis, Kelsey Robinson and Hayley Thramer.

The Week In Music: President Barack Obama Sings The Blues
It's no secret President Barack Obama is a big music fan (after all, his Spotify playlist reveals a love of everything from REO Speedwagon and U2 to Aretha Franklin and No Doubt), but is he also a closet singer? On Feb. 21 Obama joined an all-star cast of artists, including B.B. King, Buddy Guy and Mick Jagger, at the White House to sing a few bars of the classic Robert Johnson blues standard "Sweet Home Chicago." This wasn't Obama's first turn at the mic — just one month prior he belted out Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" at a fundraiser in Harlem, N.Y. "We were trying to get you to sing that," prodded Guy. "Because I heard you had sung Al Green, so you started something so you gotta keep it up." While Guy was the instigator to get Obama to sing this time around, it was actually Jagger who handed him the mic. "I thought he was courageous, because there was some element of reluctance," Jagger said following the event. Though he is a GRAMMY winner, a music career for the president does seem unlikely. However, we wouldn't count out anyone for whom Jagger gives up his mic.
Fresh from winning a record-tying six statues at the 54th GRAMMY Awards, an acceptance speech with a bit of snot and her album sitting atop the Billboard 200 for 21 weeks and counting, it may prove difficult for Adele to top herself. The golden-voiced artist did her best at the Brit Awards 2012 this past Tuesday in taking a page from the M.I.A. Super Bowl playbook and flashing a middle finger. No, this wasn't a message to the muse for songs such as "Someone Like You," but a reaction to being cut off during her acceptance speech for British Album of the Year by host James Corden. "I was about to thank the British public for their support and they cut me off, and I'm sorry if I offended anyone," said Adele. How this incident will impact her Album Of The Year GRAMMY-winning 21 should prove interesting. While we're betting sales will not be as robust as the 207 percent sales increase spurred by the GRAMMY Effect, the Middle Finger Effect may be enough to keep her at No. 1.
While the candles between Chris Brown and then-girlfriend Rihanna were quickly blown out after an altercation that left Brown in custody in 2009, the two artists are making amends in the form of a musical collaboration. Following a performance with Coldplay on the 54th GRAMMY Awards telecast, on Feb. 21 Rihanna released a remix of "Birthday Cake," a track from her 2011 album Talk That Talk, featuring vocals from none other than Brown. Returning the favor, Rihanna appears on a remix for Brown's "Turn Up The Music," which dropped the same day as her "Birthday Cake" remix. Is this a rekindling of longing hearts, or merely musical minds? Or, to quote Rihanna, have the two found love (again) in (what some thought was) a hopeless place?
Adam Lambert recently asked the musical question, "Whataya want from me?" Well, Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor know the answer. They want Adam to be in Queen for a day. Lambert will fill the role of late legendary vocalist Freddie Mercury for the band's July 7 set at the Sonisphere festival in Stevenage, north of London. It will actually be Lambert's third stint with the band following an eight-minute set at the MTV Europe Awards last November to celebrate Queen's Global Icon Award, and a 2009 performance of "We Are The Champions" on "American Idol." A longtime fan of Mercury, Lambert says his goal is not to try to be Freddie, but to pay tribute. Will Adam be a killer Queen? Let us know your thoughts below.
And before we close, what have some of our other favorite stars been up to this week? The TWIM Twittertable says: @katyperry: Thank U to all the AMAZING radio stations playing "Part Of Me" & the Katycats that keep requesting the ish out of it! #ioweuandiwilldeliver; @ladygaga: Oh the irony of winning "Most Pretentious Album Ever" from none other than NME. *eyeroll* I might laugh forever + then return to narcissism; @BrunoMars: You gotsta chiilllllll......; @rihanna: Fold under pressure, I would never ever ever ever!; @MileyCyrus: What a rad Wednesday! Puppy class, tanning, pilates, more tanning, then Mexican food with @CheyneThomas woop wooppp!!!!
Katy Perry's "Part Of Me" is No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Fun's "We Are Young" featuring Janelle Monáe is tops on the iTunes singles chart.

Time, and time, and time again, I've been known to sing the praises of Google's Nexus series devices, because they are updated directly by Google. Which should mean fast, consistent updates to the latest version of software Google is working on (or at the very least, a fully functioning device). Right? As a large group of Reddit users have been discussing for the past day, wrong.
Back in October of 2011, Nexus One owners were given quite the shock when it was revealed that the first Pure Google Experience device would not be updated to Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich. Less than two years after it had been released, it was already being abandoned by Google. Consumers were being abandoned by Google.
Fast forward to now, and Nexus S owners are facing a similar problem. An update to Android 4.0 was being rolled out for the T-Mobile (i9020-T) Nexus S, until some battery life issues prompted Google to put the update on hold. That was in December of 2011. Anyone who received the update could be faced with any number of bugs. Anyone who didn't receive the update is likely wondering what the hell is going on. Google has not issued any comments on the situation.
Despite being advertised as the phone for "Android-powered players who want the latest Google Apps and OS updates as soon as humanly possible," Sprint's Nexus S 4G, and AT&T's Nexus S for that matter, have not received any information about Android 4.0 at all.
I use a T-Mobile Nexus S, and I thought I was one of the lucky ones to receive the update shortly after it was announced. I couldn't have been more wrong. After a good couple weeks of use, my phone had reached the point of being unusable. Ice Cream Sandwich was a disaster. Nine hours of battery life on low to moderate usage, when I used to get over 24 (!!!) on Android 2.3, Gingerbread. A ton of apps didn't work. I was constantly getting storage error messages. And probably the thing that infuriated me the most, the camera data had been corrupted. To this day, even after rooting my device and trying both MIUI and CyanogenMod 9, my camera doesn't work. It worked fine before my phone was updated to Android 4.0.
Unfortunately, Google's actions toward the issues and problems surrounding the update to Android 4.0 aren't new. Many users, like our own Taylor, experienced issues with their Nexus S randomly rebooting on Android 2.3. It took nearly two months for Google to release an update that remedied the problem. Which means that for two months, a good portion of Nexus S users found their device practically unusable. And there was nothing they could do about it.
At this point, I find myself wondering, would Samsung have fixed an issue like this sooner on a TouchWiz device? Would HTC come to my rescue and fix my broken camera if my phone was running some Sense slathered version of Android? The Galaxy S II is already being updated before the Nexus S (there goes the whole 'Nexus devices get updates before anyone else' thing), so maybe they would have.
Instead of seeing my device updated with the latest version of Android and enjoying a bug-less build of vanilla Android the way it was meant to be, much like thousands of other Nexus S owners in the world out there, I'm left feeling abandoned and thrown away. Why should I buy another Nexus device again? There's other ways to use a stock Android device. And besides, maybe third-party skins aren't so bad. I'm going to have to go with Reddit on this one, "FUCK YOU GOOGLE." I won't be buying a Nexus device again.

Facilitating global adoption of trusted technology standards
Threats to supply chain integrity are a global problem that impacts everyone in the IT industry. A successful solution requires international adoption by government and enterprise customers and large and small vendors who are all part of the supply chain, and who share a critical interest in:
- Reducing risk and compliance costs
- Protecting operational assets
- Fostering innovation
The global outreach effort within The Open Group Trusted Technology Forum (OTTF)™ [1]is reaching out to governments, policy makers, large enterprise customers and other standards organizations around the world to discuss their concerns and requirements, and to increase awareness of the Open Trusted Technology Provider Standard - Mitigating Maliciously Tainted and Counterfeit Products - V1.1 (O-TTPS) [2], approved by ISO/IEC as ISO/IEC 20243, and our O-TTPS Certification Program [3].
A primary goal of the OTTF is to facilitate consensus and rationalize efforts across governments, acquisition entities, and other global supply chain security standards efforts. The Forum provides a venue for establishing a unified voice for technology and communications vendors to provide input into international standards and policy initiatives related to supply chain integrity and secure engineering practices.
The Forum has a Global Outreach Committee, an Acquisition Work Stream and a Standards Harmonization Work Stream to support this outreach effort. If you are interested in being a part of this important global effort please contact us [4].

This instrument with case is a manual photo enlarger, circa 1930, that was typically found in a drugstore. It was used by trained personnel to transfer film to paper. It was manufactured by the American Photographic Alliance Corporation (APAC), of Greenfield, Massachusetts, a competitor of Eastman Kodak. The company was founded by Paul S. Pirmov, a Russian émigré with an inventive mind and careful craftsmanship, who came to the United States in the early 1920's. He is credited with inventing the first rapid projection printer for the mass production of photographic enlargements.

text: One of the worst places to get hit is in the shins. So protect yourself with the best senior shin pads at Pure Hockey. This is the area where a LOT of contact is happening from sticks and pucks - don't skimp on shin pads, because it will catch up with you. All shin pads will give you a very good level of basic protection. As the prices increase, you do receive some enhancements like additional straps to keep it secure to your leg, additional calf protection and enhanced overall technology and comfort all around. Make sure you know the fit you need - if your shins are too long, your skates will push them up and potentially put your knee at risk. Too short and you risk exposure to your ankles. For further information, see our guide to fitting shin pads.

Corrente Big Apple Meetup, March 1, 7:30PM, Chinatown (please sign up)
An event is a future happening at a place and time, like a concert, an occupation, a conference call, or even a Corrente chat. All events are automagically placed on the site Calendar found in the menubar underneath the logo.
If you are the author of this post, see the Edit tab ad Help (and Advanced Help) for detailed documentation.
[We've got a spot -- not posted, for reasons I assume are obvious -- and I've made reservations. It's not too late to sign up, though! -- lambert]
[I'm going to sticky this because I think a lot of dishes would be fun. New York Correntians, are you out there? Adding: My hidden agenda is to get a reading on the direction of blogging and the blogosphere over the next year or so. I've been blogging for a long, long time (since 2003) and I've never felt disoriented... Until the last few months. Something in the zeitgeist is changing, but I don't know what... Also, I've had some restaurant suggestions, but could use more. --lambert]
A Corrente meetup! Please sign up in comments to this post if you want to come, or send me Corrente mail (private, top menu, third from right. You will need a Corrente account to do that, but our private and spam free internal email system is also a great feature).
I'm arbitrarily picking 7:30PM to give me time to get down from my Occupy Data event at CUNY, which ends at 6:00PM, and give me time to get back to my crash pad in Brooklyn.
And I'm arbitrarily picking Chinatown because (a) I like Chinatown, (b) I like Chinese food, (c) I like cheap, and (d) Chinese restaurants are flexible about big numbers and we can have a lot of dishes if a lot of people come! (Chinatown is marked on the map, but not the location of an actual restaurant.)
I will consult with subject matter experts to find the Chinese restaurant of the moment. Will that work for people? If you are that expert, please use Corrente mail -- private, top menu, third from right -- to get in touch with me (and not email).
We'll also need some sort of cut-off period for sign-ups, because I imagine a reservation might be necessary. How about next Tuesday at 8:00PM? I will send out a confirming Corrente email confirming the date, time, and location shortly after that cut-off.
NOTE If people have special requirements, please note them in comments.
NOTE Adding, if people don't know it already, that I'm an INTJ. So the social aspect of this event will be extremely challenging for me. Do feel free to get my attention if I am not MR SUBLIMINAL You mean "since almost certainly will not be" making the rounds, doing the politician thing of squeezing your elbow and kissing your baby, etc. In general, Correntians lead very interesting lives, and so -- the INTJ insists I add "within reason" -- I'll be interested and curious about almost anything you have to say. Naturally, my solution will be that "You should blog about that!" but in fact that position often has the great merit of being true!
Re: Corrente Big Apple Meetup, March 1, 7:30PM, Chinatown ...
Please have a fortune cookie for me...it's my birthday and I wish I could be there!
Re: Corrente Big Apple Meetup, March 1, 7:30PM, Chinatown ...

Re: Corrente Big Apple Meetup, March 1, 7:30PM, Chinatown ...

Re: Corrente Big Apple Meetup, March 1, 7:30PM, Chinatown ...
Scheduled to work but will see if I can negotiate hours.
Best, libby
Ooh, that would be super!
Don't jeopardize your work situation, of course!
Re: Ooh, that would be super! -- that goes for me, too!
lambert!!! I emailed supervisors and will find out soon (I hope) and get back to you. Would be an honor and delight to meet up! best, libby

Doubleheader: Ben Harper and Raphael Saddiq
Hear a concert live Fridays at 12noon ET from WXPN NPR Music
Made possible by XPN Members, and Comcast.
From World Cafe Live at the Queen in Wilmington, Delaware
Ben Harper and Raphael Saadiq is SOLD OUT
Listen to the Concert Live on the Radio and Online at Listen Live.
Over the years, Ben Harper has built a strong world wide fan base with his up-beat soul singing and genre-bening rock. Covering every style under the sun, including blues, folk, reggae and rock, this two-timeGrammy-Award-winning musician has long established a reputable standing as a multi-instrumentalist. Though widely recognized for his work as a solo artist and with the band Innocent Criminals, he took a courageous turn in the middle of his career in taking a temporary break from the band in 2008. That year, Harper teamed up with long time friend Jason Mozersky as well as Jesse Ingalls and Jordan Richardson to form the Relentless 7. Dispelling any sort of preconceptions, Relentless 7 is not simply another one of Ben Harper's side projects, but rather a new phase in his career. Together the band trashed some of Harper's previous material and replaced it with some fresh stripped down rock.
Teaming with the passion and excitement of a young new band, they are optimistic about their future--a buzzing confidence that has followed them through their debut album up until now. After receiving hand clapping praise for 2009's "White Lies for Dark Times," Haper and The Relentless 7 went back to the studio to piece together their upcoming album Give Till It's Gone, With Harper's determination to flesh out the groups sound, the quartet went to record in Santa Monica with some big-name collaborators--Ringo Starr playing on one song and Jackson Browne providing background vocals on another. The result is a solid album, just recently released this month, that maintains the same interlocking exchange of Harper's soulful singing, cascading electric guitars and upbeat percussion. Catch some of the new material live in concert at World Cafe Live at the Queen in Wilmington, Delaware, as part of the 2011 NonCOMMvention!

Lauded as a modern day soul revivalist, Raphael Saadiq (born Charlie Ray Wiggins) is an esteemed Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter and record producer. The formerlead vocalist of the dance trio Tony! Toni! Tone!, Saadiq has produced records for top profiled artists such as John Legend and Joss Stone, and has collaborated with the likes of Whitney Houston, D'Angelo, Stevie Wonder, The Bee Gees, The Isley Brothers and The Roots. His 20 years in the R&B scene has left a remarkable old-school footprint in the musical world, fusing classic sounds of the 1960's and 70's with a solid background in classical music, spirituals and jazz.
Since the young age of six, Saadiq professed a strong knack for music, playing the bass, singing in professional gospel groups, and performingonstage for his church and school. Now hailed the leader of the neo-soul movement he has come a long way. And while his collaborations with others placed him at the forefront of the industry, his solo albums marked a steady career as an artist. Following the overwhelming success of his 2008 release "The Way I See It," Saadiq presents "Stone Rollin,'" an album that surely has a lot of shoes and expectations to fill. But according to Saadiq, "both the attraction and reaction to my music from my listeners has giving me all that I need to continue pushing the envelope and making music that wakes and rocks the soul of many..."
This Friday, Saadiq will be on stage with venerable rocker Ben Harper in a not-to-miss performance at noon - World Cafe Live at the Queen in Wilmington, Delaware. Let Raphael Saadiq show you music "that wakes and rocks the soul of many"--it's a great way to start the weekend.

UCLA reality check Part (Tier) Two.
There are basketball coaches who will please Bruins fans and there are ones Athletic Director Dan Guerrero is actually interested in: Butler's Brad Stevens and Virginia Commonwealth's Shaka Smart.
Stevens reportedly makes a little more than $1 million per year. That's Indiana dollars. Multiply it by about three for California inflation. Stevens is also described as an intensely private man who is turned off by public scrutiny.
Good thing intense scrutiny doesn't come with the UCLA job.
On to Smart, who turned down $2.5 million per year from Illinois a year ago.
Smart currently gets $1.36 million per year in salary, but the perks do add up.
Smart receives $25,000 for a radio deal. He gets $20,000 if season-ticket sales reach 3,500 and another $20,000 if the Rams average 7,000 in attendance. He gets $3,500 for an Atlantic 10 regular season championship, something the Rams have never won under him.

The chips are falling, one by one, for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Relive every game this season online and on-demand with enhanced viewing features, including the "All-22" coaches film. Get NFL Game Rewind.
Monday's firing of defensive line coach Jim Washburn isn't especially surprising if you've been reading the tea leaves. Coach Andy Reid's 3-9 Eagles are in free fall, and this move was all about trust.
Washburn "had become a cancer" one Eagles assistant told Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Reid's terse publicly released statement on the firing talked about "trying to maximize the production of that position group," but Washburn openly was unhappy about last week's release of defensive end Jason Babin.
Tommy Brasher, the longtime Reid ally coaxed out of the abyss, will play the good soldier, but events in Philly resemble the crumbling of a once-powerful city-state.
Washburn never was Reid's guy. Neither was Babin. With his back against the wall on a sinking ship, Reid -- like a paranoid captain -- is trimming his remaining crew to those he trusts.
A sense of fear and wandering has bubbled up in Philly. Eight consecutive losses don't come down to the fault of one man -- they never do in the NFL -- and Reid is running out of people to point the finger at.

Among the new features introduced in PHP 5, magic functions are an important part of the whole enhancement process. They've also been rather overlooked by some programmers, either because of laziness or ignorance.
Despite their funny name, magic functions permit users to perform difficult tasks effortlessly. They can be powerful time-savers for loading resources automatically, or for overloading methods and properties of classes, to cite just two illustrative examples.
Naturally, for experienced developers, magic functions are an old creature they've long since tamed, but for beginners, learning how to use them in a true productive manner can be challenging experience — especially when they're utilized during the development of object-oriented applications.
So, if you're a PHP programmer who wishes to learn how to master the basic concepts that surround the implementation and use of magic functions, then in this series of articles you'll find a comprehensive guide that will show you how to work with them, using a strong hands-on approach.
In the successive tutorials of the series, I'm going to cover the most relevant magic functions provided by PHP 5, starting with the "__set()" and __"get()" methods. Future parts will explore the "__call()", "__sleep() and "__wakeup() functions, and even later I will discuss the use of "__isset()", "__unset()", "__clone()", "__destruct()" and "__autoload()" respectively.
By the end of this series, you should be armed with a solid background in the theory of using magic functions. You'll also have practiced with a good number of concrete examples.
Now, it's time to leave the preliminaries start discovering the real power behind utilizing magic functions. Let's get started right away!
{mospagebreak title=Get and set functions: a quick overview}
As I expressed in the introduction, the first two magic functions that I plan to cover are the popular "__set()" and "__get()" methods. They can be really useful for overloading properties of a class.
But, at this point, you may be wondering how to use these functions. Well, as with any other magic methods, the "__set()" and "__get()" functions have no concrete implementation and must be given a explicit definition.
In the case of the "__set()" function, it'll be called automatically by the PHP engine each time a script attempts to assign a value to a property of a class that hasn't been explicitly declared. On the other hand, the "__get()" function will be invoked transparently when a script tries to retrieve the value of an undeclared class property as well.
This setting and retrieval process of values of properties within a class that have no a explicit declaration comprises what's known as "property overloading." It must be very carefully implemented to prevent its misuse and abuse.
Does this sound a bit confusing to you? Fear not; in a moment, I'm going to back up all of these concepts with a couple of examples that will illustrate how to use the team of "__set()" and "__get()" functions.
Say that there's a basic class called "User," which represents, through software, a real-world user. The definition of this sample class would be something like this:
class User {
private $fname = 'Alejandro';
private $lname = 'Gervasio';
private $email = 'email@example.com';
// constructor (not implemented)
public function __construct(){}
// set user's first name
public function setFirstName($fname)
$this->fname = $fname;
// get user's first name
public function getFirstName()
return $this->fname;
// set user's last name
public function setLastName($lname)
$this->lname = $lname;
// get user's last name
public function getLastName()
return $this->lname;
// set user's email address
public function setEmail($email)
$this->email = $email;
// get user's email address
public function getEmail()
return $this->email;
As you can see, the structure of the above "User" class is pretty easy to follow. It's only composed of a few setters and getters, used for setting and retrieving the values assigned to its three declared properties, that is $fname, $lname and $email respectively.
So far, nothing strange is happening here, right? What follows is a simple demonstration of how to use this class:
$user = new User();
// display user data
echo 'First Name: ' . $user->getFirstName() . ' Last Name: ' . $user->getLastName() . ' Email: ' . $user->getEmail();
displays the following
First Name: John Last Name: Doe Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Well, that was extremely boring, wasn't it? All that the previous script does is create an instance of the "User" class, assign some values to the properties of the class via the pertinent setters, and finally display the values in question using the pertinent getters.
However, this tame and well-known scenario is about to become more exciting. It's possible to redefine the "User" class by using the "__set()" and "__get()" magic functions to make the class's signature much shorter. At the same time, they'll allow us to assign undeclared properties dynamically.
The full details of this process will be discussed in the section to come. Click on the link below and keep reading to learn more.
{mospagebreak title=Property overloading in action}
In the previous segment, I created a basic "User" class, whose API allowed us to easily assign and retrieve the values of its declared properties. However, as I expressed earlier, it's possible to shorten its definition and make it more "dynamic" simply by concretely implementing the "__set()" and "__get()" methods.
To demonstrate this concept a bit more, I'm going to redefine this sample class to allow us not only to create new class properties at run time, but retrieve their respective values with extreme ease.
Now that you know what I'm going to do in the next few lines, please examine the modified version of the "User" class. It now looks like this:
class User
// constructor (not implemented)
public function _construct(){}
// set undeclared property
function __set($property, $value)
$this->$property = $value;
// get defined property
function __get($property)
if (isset($this->$property))
return $this->$property;
Now, suddenly things are much more interesting than in the example shown in the previous section. As you can see above, the "User" class is only comprised of two methods — the corresponding "__set()" and "__get()" functions. And in this specific situation, they have been given a concrete implementation.
In the first case, the "__set()" function will create an undeclared property and assign a value to it, while in the last case, its counterpart "__get()" will retrieve this value if the property has been previously set.
The implementation of these two methods permits us to overload properties in a truly simple way. It also makes the class's source code much shorter and more compact. But, as with everything in life, this process has some disadvantages that must be taken into account. First, and most importantly, the lack of an explicit declaration for each property of the class makes the code harder to read and follow. Second, it's practically impossible for an IDE to keep track of those properties for either commenting or documenting them.
Logically, this is something that must be evaluated consciously when overloading the properties of a class. Its implementation depends strongly on the context where it will be used.
Now, returning to the previous example class, given that it's already been modified, it's time to give it a try, right? So, with that idea in mind, in the next section I'm going to create an example that will show how to assign undeclared properties to it, and how to retrieve their values.
Don't waste more time; read the following segment. It's only one click away
{mospagebreak title=The set and get methods in action}
In the previous segment, you learned how to give a concrete implementation to the "__set()" and "__get()" magic functions within a simple class to assign to it undeclared properties at run time. You also learned how to fetch values in a straightforward manner.
Now, it's time to demonstrate how to take advantage of these functions by means of a concrete example. Below I wrote a short script, which shows how to dynamically assign four properties to the "User" class that naturally have no explicit declaration.
Here's how this script looks:
// example of usage of 'User' class with property overloading
$user = new User();
$user->fname = 'Alejandro';
$user->lname = 'Gervasio';
$user->email = 'email@example.com';
$user->address = 'My address 1234';
// display user data
echo 'First Name: ' . $user->fname . ' Last Name: ' . $user->lname . ' Email: ' . $user->email . ' Address: ' . $user->address;
displays the following
First Name: Alejandro Last Name: Gervasio Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Address: My address 1234
Regardless of the simplicity of the above example, it demonstrates how useful the "__set()" and "__get()" magic functions can be when it comes to overloading properties of a class.
As you may have noticed, on one hand the script creates four new properties for the class and assigns to them some trivial values, while on the other hand those values are retrieved "behind the scenes" via the pertinent "__get()" method. Simple to code, even when it's not so simple to read, right?
The previous phrase is an adequate epilogue for this first installment of the series. As I explained before, the implementation of the "__set()" and "__get()" magic functions is a powerful approach that must be used very carefully.
Undeniably, it's possible to perform all sorts of clever tasks via these functions, but this versatility comes at a cost. In general, it may be harder to read and understand how a class is handling its properties. Anyway, PHP 5 gives you the chance to use property overloading in an easy way, so go ahead and give it a try!
Final thoughts
That's all for the moment. In this introductory part of the series, I explained how to implement and use the "__set()" and "__get()" magic functions included with PHP 5, which allow you to overload the properties of a class very easily.
It's not new to say that property overloading is a powerful approach that can be used to perform all sorts of clever tasks, but as I explained, it must be used carefully, and certainly not abused.
In the next part of the series I'm going to explain how to use the "__isset()" and "__unset()" magic functions, so don't miss the upcoming tutorial!
