6th Framework Programme (2000-2006): Aeronautics and space
This specific programme ails to boost the potential of European research on aeronautics and space in order to improve safety, provide greater protection for the environment and make the industry more competitive.
Council Decision 2002/834/EC of 30 September 2002 adopting a specific programme for research, technological development and demonstration: "Integrating and strengthening the European Research Area" (2002-2006) [Official Journal L 294 of 29.10.2002].
Space is no longer the exclusive preserve of the experts. Space technologies are now omnipresent in every sphere of economic, social and cultural life. What is more, aerospace is a strategic industry in terms of technology, the economy, defence and jobs.
Today Europe can count on groups such as EADS, Airbus, BAE Systems and Arianespace, bringing together partners from all over the European Union (EU) to consolidate their position as world leader with projects such as Airbus A380, the Ariane 5 space launcher, GMES (global monitoring for environment and security) and the Galileo satellite navigation network.
At the same time, air is the form of transport which has achieved the most spectacular growth over the last few decades. However, this growth is leading to congestion at airports and saturation of the air traffic control systems.
The 6th Framework Programme has allocated a budget of EUR 1075 million to this priority concentrating on action in two broad fields:
Safety, affordability and sustainability are the three priorities for aeronautics in Europe. The report "European aeronautics: A vision for 2020" sets out the five guiding principles:
- achieve a five-fold reduction in accident rates;
- halve the noise emitted by aircraft;
- halve carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per passenger-kilometre;
- reduce NOx emissions by 80%;
- devise an air traffic control system capable of managing 16 million flights a year, with airports operational 24 hours a day, and offering passengers greater comfort.
In line with these recommendations, the research will focus on four broad lines of action:
- Strengthening competitiveness: the objective is to enable the three sectors of the aeronautics industry (airframe, engines and equipment) to increase their competitiveness, by reducing aircraft development costs and direct operating costs by 20% and 50% in the short and long term respectively and improving passenger comfort.The research activities are focusing on intelligent production systems, new aircraft configurations, aerodynamics, engine technologies, improved cabin conditions, utilisation of multimedia services, etc.
- Reducing the environmental impact in terms of emissions and noise: in the case of emissions the objective is to meet the goals set by the Kyoto Protocol. The targets are to reduce emissions of CO2 by 50% in the long term and of NOx by 60% and 80% in the short and long term respectively. As for noise, to limit noise outside the airport boundary, the target is to reduce noise levels by 4-5 decibels (dB) in the short term and 10 dB in the long term.The research activities are focusing on engine technologies allowing low-emission combustion, advanced noise-control systems, high-temperature materials, etc.
- Improving aircraft safety: the objective is to halve accident rates in the short term and to obtain a five-fold reduction in the long term in order to compensate for the growth in air traffic movements.The research activities are focusing on studies on safety models, advanced safety systems, etc.
- Increasing operational capacity and safety of the air transport system: the objective is to optimise airspace and airport utilisation in order to reduce flight delays, through an integrated air traffic management system (Single European Sky).The research activities are focusing on on-board and ground communication, navigation and surveillance systems and the introduction of new concepts, including the free-flight concept, in the future European ATM (air traffic management) system.
Conquering space is a key component in the technological world of today. Satellite applications are now in daily use as tools in a wide range of sectors, from agriculture and fisheries to transport, telecommunications, environmental protection, public security and so on.
In cooperation with the European Space Agency (ESA) the EU has devised a truly joint strategy in response to the growing importance of space applications to all economic, social and cultural activity in the modern world. The objective is to map out the broad lines of a European space policy, with the support of every Member State.
Three lines of action are planned:
- The European satellite navigation system - Galileo: satellite radio navigation enables anyone with a transmitter/receiver to pick up signals transmitted by several satellites and determine, to a high degree of accuracy from one moment to the next, their own position in terms of longitude, latitude and altitude.
The research will focus on the development of receivers and of multisectoral tools, user equipment, etc.
- GMES: the GMES programme was set up to secure independent, permanent access in Europe to the flood of information from space. The objective is to prevent and to help manage natural or industrial disasters and to meet the undertakings given on reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.
The research activities are focusing on sensors and on developing prototypes of services responding to specific types of demand, for example on the global environment, land-use, desertification, disaster management, etc.
- Satellite telecommunications: the objective is to integrate the space and terrestrial segments in communications systems.
Dateof entry into force
Deadline for transposition in the Member States
Decision 1513/2002/EC
Date of application: 01.01.2003Date of expiry: 31.12.2006
Green Paper: European space policy [COM (2003) 17 final -Not published in the Official Journal].
Space has long been a source of progress and technological and commercial success for Europe. Space systems already play a notable role in numerous facets of the daily life of Europeans: satellite communications, earth observation, forecasting natural disasters, etc.
In this context, the Green Paper drafted by the European Commission and the ESA examines Europe's strengths and weaknesses in the space industry. The report addresses the fundamental issues such as independent access to space for the EU, scientific excellence, the industrial and technological base, the markets concerned, human resources, the regulatory and institutional framework, international cooperation, and the environmental and security aspects.
The consultations will run from 22 January to 30 May 2003.

Tigers carrying flag for AL Central supremacy
By Matt Slovin / MLB.com
DETROIT -- Entering Friday's series opener against the Twins, the Tigers not only had baseball's best record at 20-10, but they also had the largest lead of any first-place team at five games over the White Sox.
The American League Central is the only division in baseball that doesn't have at least two teams over .500.
"It doesn't bother me what people say," Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said of the division's critics. "Our goal is the same regardless of whether people think it's a good division or a bad division. Our goal is to win the division."
In 1997, Ausmus was a part of an Astros team that won the National League Central with only 84 wins.
"Didn't make it any less fun, winning the division," he said.
While Ausmus cited that year as an example of the division's perceived difficulty level being irrelevant, it could also be a sign of a strong division. If the winner finishes with fewer victories than most other champions, it might be that the teams in the division were strong but simply beat up on each other.
No matter the reason for Houston's record as a division champion that season, the postseason was a short one for the club. The Astros were swept in the NL Division Series by the Braves.
No team has won a division title with so few wins since the Dodgers also amassed 84 victories in capturing the 2008 NL West title.
Anibal aiming for return to rotation at Fenway
DETROIT -- Beyond Max Scherzer starting in the series opener next weekend in Boston, there is some uncertainty with the Tigers' starting rotation.
Anibal Sanchez, who continues to recover from a finger laceration, said that the target date for his return is the series finale on May 18 at Fenway Park.
"We talk about probably next Sunday, but I don't know yet," Sanchez said.
Sanchez had been scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Thursday, but he ended up long tossing instead and expected to throw a side session on Friday.
Tigers manager Brad Ausmus offered no timetable as to when Sanchez may return.
"There's a day in mind, but we have to wait and see," the skipper said.
Ray trying to straighten breaking ball issues
DETROIT -- In psychology, there is a phenomenon known as proactive interference, which occurs when past information hinders an individual's ability to retain new information.
That appears to be at least part of what is giving Robbie Ray, who debuted on Tuesday, trouble with his curveball. In Spring Training, he ditched the slider he had been tinkering with last year in favor of the new curveball. Against the Astros in his first start, Ray struggled with its command, but he still allowed only one earned run over 5 1/3 innings.
The difference between the delivery of the two pitches is in Ray's extension. With the slider, the rookie is trying to "get out far with it, really reaching out." The curveball, "you don't extend out as far."
Ray, the Tigers' No. 2 prospect, according to MLB.com, found himself "regressing" to the slider at times during his debut. As a result, he often left the ball up too high in the zone, and he realized it immediately. After one inning, Ray and pitching coach Jeff Jones focused on the fix.
"I'm just getting too long with it," Ray said. "I need to stay short."
Leyland source of comedy relief for Ausmus
DETROIT -- Tigers manager Brad Ausmus isn't sure of exactly what year it was when he first met former skipper Jim Leyland, but he remembers it was at Comerica Park.
As is the wont of Leyland, who will be honored before Saturday's game against the Twins, "He made quite the impression," Ausmus said.
Since taking the Tigers' managerial job this offseason after Leyland's retirement, the pair has gotten to know each other quite well, and that includes Leyland's favorite jokes.
Ausmus chuckled recalling one of them in particular. It goes like this:
Leyland, who tells the joke as if it happened to him, says that he got pulled over going 100 mph on the freeway and that there were no other cars on the road at the time.
The police officer informs him how fast he was going, and Leyland says he was just trying to keep up with traffic.
In disbelief, the cop tells him there's not a single car around.
"I know," Leyland said. "I'm not keeping up."
Quick hits
• Earlier this week, setup man Joba Chamberlain turned heads in the Tigers' clubhouse by gifting each teammate a pair of Zubaz pants. The flashy garb was a fad in the 1990s, and the timing worked nicely with Friday being the organization's fourth annual Zubazpalooza.
• The Tigers offered a special ticket package that included a pair of Zubaz pants and a ticket to the game. Chamberlain's pants may not stay in style, but they were fashionable on Friday night -- even the grounds crew was sporting Zubaz before the game against the Twins.
• Reliever Luke Putkonen pitched two innings for Triple-A Toledo on Friday as part of his rehab assignment. Putkonen threw 23 pitches -- 14 strikes -- and allowed one run on two hits.

text: The Daily Illini put out a list of what the Illinois Fighting Illini coaches make on salary. I guess I was expecting more but I was rather surprised by men's tennis coach Brad Dancer's salary. Of the 19 paid coaches, he is right smack dab in the middle at number 10 with $97, 850. Women's tennis coach Michelle Dasso was right behind him with 86,000. Maybe this has been discussed here before but it would be interesting to hear what the other coaches around the country make. I would imagine it would be more than what Dancer and Dasso are making but who knows. I might be surprised. Illini Coaches Salary Chart

They had men carry kits with pieces 10 feet long and 8 to 12 inches thick across the desert to reassemble into ships on the edge of a sea that is still difficult to sail today. To have the manpower and supply line to equip the shipyard there and sail five or so ships on the Red Sea, and to have the knowledge to use the currents and winds to return safely, would be tough today, and they achieved it without GPS, cell phones or computers, not to mention the combustion engine."

A night after falling victim to LeBron James' new team, the New York Knicks hope they can bounce right back against his old one.
There's little evidence to suggest they won't.
The Cleveland Cavaliers haven't been providing much resistance to anyone while losing 10 straight, a dreadful slide they'll hope to finally snap Saturday night as they try to deny the Knicks a ninth consecutive road win.
Cleveland (7-19) has won eight in a row over the Knicks, but those victories now seem like they happened several decades ago.
The Cavs had James in the lineup during those wins, and the two-time MVP hasn't often failed to deliver against New York. He averaged 33.8 points and twice cracked 50 in that stretch as the Cavaliers won by an average of 15.7 points.
James continued his mastery over the Knicks (16-11) on Friday in a different uniform. He had 32 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in Miami's 113-91 rout at Madison Square Garden, helping to hand New York a humbling loss two days after it came oh-so-close to knocking off Boston for what would have been a ninth straight win.
"We understand we're not far away but we still have to improve and get better," said Amare Stoudemire, who had 24 points as his franchise-record nine-game streak of scoring 30 was snapped. "I think playing these guys is a learning lesson for us. We've got to learn from these games and get better."
The Knicks have still won eight straight on the road. A victory Saturday would be their 11th away from home this season, matching their total from all of 2009-10.
Cleveland hasn't often been close to its opposition the past three weeks, losing 10 straight by an average of 17.5 points. The Cavaliers have shot just 40.1 percent during their longest slide since a 15-game skid in late 2002, with Friday's 108-99 loss at Indiana one of just three by single digits since the drought began Nov. 30.
"We just have to get a win," forward Antawn Jamison said. "We're doing a good job of 36-40 minutes of pretty good basketball. There are no consolation prizes in the NBA."
Jamison was only around for the Cavaliers' most recent win against the Knicks after coming over from Washington in February. He had 17 points and 12 rebounds in Cleveland's 124-93 victory March 1 in which it led by as many as 49 points.
Jamison has averaged 21.8 points and 10.7 rebounds in his last 10 games versus New York, but it seems unlikely that he and the Cavaliers will be able to keep up with the Knicks this time. New York averages 108.1 points, a total Cleveland has surpassed once this season.
A large portion of New York's offense comes from behind the 3-point line, and its success from beyond the arc can often spell the difference between a win and a loss. The Knicks are 11-1 when they hit 10 or more 3-pointers.
Wilson Chandler has been one of New York's most impressive gunners since coach Mike D'Antoni inserted him into the starting lineup Nov. 28. Chandler has averaged 19.5 points and shot 53.6 percent - including 42.2 percent from 3-point range.
Chandler's never had much success against the Cavaliers, though. He's averaged 10.1 points in seven career games, shooting 36.0 percent overall.

1. Game. The game consists of nine innings
2. Innings. An inning consists of: when one person is playing on each side, one service on each side; when two are playing on each side, two services on each side; when three or more are playing on each side, three services on each side. The man serving continues to do so until out by failure of his side to return the ball. Each man shall serve in turn.
3. Court. The court or floor space shall be 25 feet wide and 50 feet long, to be divided into two square courts, 25 x 25 feet, by the net. Four feet from the net on either side and parallel with it shall be a line across the court, the Dribbling Line. The boundary lines must be plainly marked so as to be visible from all parts of the courts.
Note-The exact size of the court may be changed to suit the convenience of the place.
4. Net. The net shall be at least 2 feet wide and 27 feet long, and shall be suspended from uprights placed at least one foot outside the side lines. The top line of the net must be 6 feet 6 inches from the floor.
5. Ball. The ball shall be a rubber bladder covered with leather or canvas. It shall measure not less than 25 inches nor more than 27 inches in circumference, and shall weigh not less than 9 ounces nor more than 12 ounces.
6. Server and Service. The server shall stand with one foot on the back line. The ball must be batted with the hand. Two services or trials are allowed him to place the ball in the opponents' court (as in tennis). The server may serve into the opponents' court at any place. In a service the ball must be batted at least ten feet, no dribbling allowed. A service which would strike the net, but is struck by another of the same side before striking the net, if it goes over into the opponents' court, it is good, but if it should go outside, the server has no second trial.
7. Scoring. Each good service unreturned or ball in play unreturned by the side receiving, counts 1 score for the side serving. A side only scores when serving, as a failure to return the ball on their part results in the server being put out.
8. Net Ball. A play which hits the net aside from the first service is called a net ball and is equivalent to a failure to return, counting for the opposide side. The ball hitting the net on first service shall be called dead and counts as a trial.
9. Line Ball. It is a ball striking the boundaryline; it is equivalent to one out of court and counts as such.
10. Play and Players. Any number may play that is convenient to the place. A player should be able to cover about 10 x 10 feet.
Should any player during play touch the net, it puts the ball out of play and counts against his side. Should any player catch or hold for an instant the ball, it is out of play and counts for the opposite side. Should the ball strike any object other than the floor and bound back into the court, it is still in play. To dribble the ball is to carry it all the time keeping it bouncing. When dribbling the ball no player shall cross the Dribbling Line, this putting the ball out of play and counting against him. Any player, except the captain, addressing the umpire or casting any slurring remarks at him or any of the players on the opposite side, may be disqualified and his side be compelled to play the game without him or a substitute or forfeit the same.

You f*cking retard, Melo.
Wow... Melo....
Oh man is anyone watching this game? Refs charged Knicks a timeout when D'antoni didn't want one.
Oh and melo misses clutch free throws yay?
last couple of times down the court the ball is in the big guys' hands and they don't deliver
this cannot be happening
Well I think all that's left is crying.

Sophomore: I've really enjoyed Stanford so far.
Academics are certainly challenging, but rewarding, and students usually aren't excessively stressed about grades.
Professors are, for the most part, incredibly knowledgeable and care about students, but there are some (particularly those teaching intro classes) who could use some improvement.
The local area can be a bit expensive and far away (especially without a car).
Currently, the administration is facing a lot of criticism about the school's handling of sexual assault. It's not the best situation, but a lot of the criticism also comes from Stanford's own professors and students, so I do still feel relatively safe and supported on campus.

During my time at Harvard, I got to dance to Gangnam Style with Psy, read a Gutenberg Bible, study and work under my hero, perform fMRIs, and eat brunch in what is essentially the Great Hall of Hogwarts. I cannot begin to tell you the opportunities available here nor what you will learn from working and studying alongside people from all over the world. Harvard also tries to promote diversity further by offering a needs-blind application process and a financial aid package that guarantees you will not have to turn down your acceptance due to financial hardship! Harvard truly takes care of its students, giving them every opportunity imaginable and giving them an experience they will never forget.

I have met the most interesting and talented people while at Yale and have made some of the closest friends. One moment we'll be discussing a bio problem set, the next discussing the real solution to economic disparity, the next talking about our upbringings. While it's easy to think of Yale as a competitive college, I think that's far from the truth. I have never collaborated as much as I have at Yale. Everyone wants the best for each other and grades are not a focus. The social scene at Yale is also great. Frat parties are open to anyone for the most part and it's very easy to get integrated with Greek life members even if you aren't in it yourself. Just based off of the year I've been here, I can already say that Yale has changed me to be a more well-rounded person.

Sophomore: Rice is incredible. The people are so friendly and collaborative, and the residential college system gives you an automatic support system and built-in friends/family. While people are smart, the atmosphere is close-knit and not cutthroat, which I've come to realize is hugely important when I hear my friends at other top universities talk about the pressure and competition they suffer through. The academics aren't easy- especially the STEM programs, which are structured to be some of the most rigorous in the country, but that's why we have such a good reputation and ease with post-graduation placements. Compared to other colleges, there's a lot of freedom with social life/partying and distribution requirements. Overall, the campus is beautiful and quality of life (dorms/food/area) very high. I love Rice and wouldn't go anywhere else!

Graduate Student: Like any colleges, Penn has both pros and cons. As a graduate student in the School of Social Policy and Practice at Penn (Master's of Social Work), I find that the biggest strength of Penn is its wide reach of professional network, research, etc.
The amount of resources/networking opportunities available for developing insight, experience, and others is unimaginable here at Penn. Having deep connections with all three sectors of the non-profit, for-profit, and governmental world brings its students enormous opportunities and information/knowledge to learn and grow from.
The cons, however, is that Penn as a whole seems a bit lacking in terms of student activism and engagement. There are clubs to join. But, I rarely see them out in the quad or the walkway outreaching or being vocal about a variety of issues students are concerned with in this age and time.

College Freshman: Professors, even in large lecture classes, are always approachable and friendly. They are open to extensions when asked and even small talk. However, with the amount of time you have with each professor (this also depends on the size of the class) it's unlikely for you to become very friendly with any teachers throughout college unless you take initiative.
Classes can range from 7 people to 200. There are a variety of options, usually intro classes are big while seminars, language classes, and specific topic classes are smaller. With large classes there is an immense amount of TAs that are always available to help. They also run review/discussion sections to allow students to ask specific questions and get advice from experts who already aced the class.
Most classes, in the humanities, make you do a lot of reading, have a smaller discussion section, and then 2-4 big assignments like midterms, finals, essays, take home exams, etc.
The variety of courses speaks for itself. There are too many choices and they are all interesting!

If I could change one thing about Bowdoin, I would offer class credit for laboratory time. Also , this is just my wish , but I think Bowdoin should advertise more to the outside world. I grew up overseas, so most of my other friends had not heard of Bowdoin, or Brunswick for that matter. I can understand that I was surprised that not many people in United States knew about this school either. The social scene is great on the weekends, but for the most part exists only on the weekends as people work very hard during the week. As for food, you can guess exactly how delicious it is from just taking a peek at the NYtimes article and the college rankings.

Graduate Student: I am currently enrolled in graduate school at the prestigious Columbia University. I am impressed with the level of diversity at Columbia. There is a majority minority.

They bring in some of the best professors from the corporate world. For instances in one of my courses I have three different professors. Each have a very different perspective and method of teaching. I will say that I am disappointed that there are not more scholarships available to graduate students; I am working a full-time job in addition to taking a full course load so that I can graduate in a two year span and pay for school. Mind you I have a 3.8 G.P.A I believe that their should be some source of funding other than loans for students in my situation.

This school is not without flaws, however. The campus is pretty divided racially. There is no malice, but it is clear that intermingling between races only truly occurs in the classroom. That is one thing this school could improve.

College Junior: I would definitely choose Dartmouth again. I love the spirit of the school, the people, the professors and all of the non-academic learning experiences that are available. I think in the Engineering school there is a lot of room for improvement in terms of consistently having consistently good teachers. For the most part, teachers are good in the entry level classes, occasionally there is a great teacher, but often ( so far 1 class out of three, every trimester) there is one teacher who isvery suboptimal in their ability to teach or communicate well. Not acceptable at this type of school.
Additionally, because Dartmouth is out of the way for most companies, their engineering recruiting fairs are extremely lacking in depth and availability. Much of the fair is online. Being only 3 hours from Boston, The Thayer school of engineering should host a weekend or trip to Boston for a recruiting fair to coincide with all the other colleges there when there are HUNDREDS of companies available to talk to and connect with. Students could take a bus to Boston and even make up the classes that are missed at some later point if necessary. Job hunting and internship opportunities are far inferior than at many other schools, even if they are not as highly ranked as Dartmouth!

Based on my experience, I have changed my career goals- a life changing experience. I have had lots of college experiences since age 3. Notre Dame, without exception, is the FINEST.

The Core classes are usually taught in lecture halls, but also have classes periods that are broken up into smaller groups (during discussion). Other classes can have as few as five students, like my Yucatec Maya class, which allows students to have awesome conversations with their professors and TA's.

College Junior: My experience at Cornell had been a whirlwind of endless opportunities. It has absolutely had it's ups and downs, with times where the stress and fast pace of classes seems to be unbearable, but usually when that happens a break was right around the corner and there was time to catch up. All the students at this school, from the engineers to the Hotelies, are used to being the top of their class in high school. It takes some getting used to learn that not everyone can be the best at this university.
That being said, Cornell can offer you the change to truly impact the world in whatever field you pursue. Your plant science degree with lead to cutting edge research, your business major with give you connections others need years to build and your engineering degree will give you your choice of career straight out of college. But that diploma does not come easy, you will have to work relentlessly for four years to earn it (five years if you're studying architecture!).
Looking back to choosing this university my senior year of high school, I wouldn't change a thing. My experience has been far from perfect: I've experienced failure just like the rest of my peers. I'm not, however, the same person I was in high school and this is a good thing. Cornell has changed me for the better and I highly recommend you let it do the same to you!

The campus is beautiful, but there is always construction. It is not a huge party school, but there are parties and lots of other ways to have fun. I loved the proximity to Chicago and the public transit system. Overall, I liked the student body. There was a general hard work ethic, and though my majors weren't particularly competitive, I know there were some that were fairly cut-throat. The mental health services can be improved upon, but I felt that NU was a very accepting, diverse, and progressive school overall. Financial aid was great, and getting better!

In addition, the trimester system allows students to fit three academic terms into one year while focusing more intensely on less during those terms, all the while still leaving room for a long winter break.
The biggest downside for me is that students seem less individual and more self-effacing than some other similar liberal arts colleges.

Now 30 Years In, Software Sellers Rejoin the Fray Together Again
Having failed at retirement, John Landis figured he might as well engage again in what he calls the "intellectual challenge" of creating, selling and supporting a new core processing system for credit unions.
Ed Perry, meanwhile, had worked with many of the hundreds of credit unions running the software Landis had originated, so why not join in?
Landis developed the Galaxy system in the late 1970s (it later went to Fiserv Inc.) and then the Symitar platform in the mid-1980s before he and his partners sold that company to Jack Henry & Associates in 2000.
Not being into golf or other stereotypical retirement pursuits, he said, Landis has spent the past several years developing what's now the KeyStone core processing system and Corelation Inc., the San Diego company that surrounds it.
See Update: Corelation Lands Fifth, By Far Largest, New Client
Landis is the new company's chairman. Its president, Theresa Benavidez, is an original Symitar employee who went on to a long career as a senior executive for Fiserv before retiring herself and then joining Landis.
Carl Barlow, a 20-year software architect at Symitar, has come aboard as Corelation's director of systems architecture, and now comes Perry, who stayed retired all of about two months before joining Landis and team this fall as business development executive.
Perry said he first sold a Landis-designed core processing system in 1981 to a Texas credit union he said is still using it. He retired in July and joined Corelation in September, saying he'd rather face today's adventures in business air travel than the honey-do list of long-made promises at home.
"Well, it's kind of like with John," Perry said. "My wife wasn't real comfortable with me sitting around the house all the time, and when Theresa invited me to join them, well, you only get a couple chances in life, opportunities like this, so I figured this was a great one for me."
While hitting the road and the runways again selling the new system "is fun and exciting, and a whole new, clean slate for me," Perry said, he and Landis agreed that things have changed some since 1985.
Landis points to the technology. "I last built a new platform on a 16-bit machine with 256k of memory and 20-meg hard drive," he said. "Now CPU speeds are 12,000 times what they were then, memory is about 32 times as great and disk space about 30 times."
Green screens are nearly extinct and so are many of the limitations of what a core processing system can do. "In fact, we didn't even call them core processing systems then," Landis said. "They were just the system."
Perry, meanwhile, points to the people. "It used to be that the first person out of the room when we did a sales presentation was the manager, the CEO," he said. "Not anymore. A lot of those folks have retired, and now everybody has iPads and iPhones, and they sit in on the meetings and can talk processes and technology and languages and networks."
He also doesn't expect meals on flights anymore–"I just bag my own lunch"–and still enjoys the travel and going to trade shows and seeing people in the industry he's known for years.
"I'm a good bit older than John [who's 56] and a lot of the folks I see at the credit unions, and it's been a lot of fun seeing people I knew as loan officers and the like coming up through the ranks," said Perry, who's 70.
Landis, meanwhile, said, "I used to feel a little nervous back in the old days when I was so much younger than the CEOs and CIOs, who were mostly called managers and computer operators then, but now I'm right there in the wheelhouse with them."
He added with a chuckle, "And maybe I'm old enough now that they really can trust their data processing to me."
The software they're selling–and competing with–has also come a long way, with 360-degree member views, electronic banking and open architecture to accommodate other third-party software and services that weren't even on drawing boards when Landis and Perry first met up.
And the business itself has more time to mature. "We haven't had to take short cuts. And it's not like before, where there times we had to maybe bite off more than we could comfortably chew because we had to," Landis said.
The first KeyStone customer–the $93 million Harbor FCU in Carson, Calif.–has gone live on the platform, three more have signed on and others are listening, Landis said. Several of those first clients have long relationships with the software and people behind Corelation and KeyStone, but with Perry aboard and on the road, Landis said, the company expects to expand.
Landis also said he's confident in KeyStone and Corelation and in the credit union industry.
"With all the consolidation, it's a much more competitive environment than it used to be," he said. "But you have to hope that's a good thing, and that credit unions will bring in more members in the long run. I really do think they have to remember their roots and stick together in order to succeed down the road."
As evidence of his confidence, Landis points to his son, a former schoolteacher who's now director of education for Corelation, training clients on the use of their sophisticated new system.
"I would never have brought Rob into the business if I thought it was a short-term career for him," Landis said. "I really see this, and hope he sees it that way, too. That it's an industry he can stay in for the long haul and make his mark on it."

Arkadelphia Police dispatcher Dusty Welch told The Associated Press that Donald Hux killed his ex-wife, Amy Huckabee, before he was fatally shot by police officers in the southern part of the state. Amy Huckabee's current husband, Sandy Huckabee, was found dead Sunday at the couple's home in Arkadelphia, which is about 70 miles southwest of Little Rock.
Sandy Huckabee's father was the first cousin of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's father.
Authorities said Hux abducted Amy Huckabee and their three children in Arkadelphia and then drove about 80 miles to El Dorado in Union County. He dropped the children off somewhere there, and they weren't hurt, according to the local sheriff's office.
Meanwhile, police in Arkadelphia learned about the situation and went to the Huckabee home to do a welfare check. They found Sandy Huckabee's body inside and issued a warrant for Hux's arrest on capital murder, kidnapping and other charges.
Details of the shootout that happened later in Union County haven't been released yet, but Welch said he didn't believe any officers were wounded.
A man who answered a phone number listed for Hux said, "There's no comment to be made right now."

Grieving Sandy Hook father heckled at hearing
NEIL Heslin, the father of six-year-old Sandy Hook massacre victim Jessie, was reportedly heckled on Monday as he spoke at a local hearing on gun control.
Mr Heslin, holding a picture of his son as he spoke at the Connecticut state capitol in Hartford, told the rally he did not understand why anyone needed to own an assault weapon, prompting a cry of ''Second Amendment'' from the crowd.
The incident came as gun rights activists said they were planning a nationwide ''day of resistance'' on February 23, a date that bears a typographical similarity to .223 assault weapon cartridges used in the Sandy Hook school shootings.
Organisers said they chose the date – whose common short form in the US is 2/23 – as a ''clever way'' to attract ''the gun crowd'' to the event, but denied it would be seen as insensitive.
It also came as police officers who were first to respond to the school shooting spopke for the first time of the horror and heartbreakthat greeted them at the elemntary school.
A series of rallies by Tea Party activists and pro-gun campaigners will be held across the US in response to the 23 executive orders introduced by US President Barack Obama that organisers say are ''unconstitutional''.
Dustin Stockton, one of the event organisers, denied the date had been chosen to capitalise on recent shootings.
''This is not something that is aimed at that at all. It's not a reaction to those events specifically at all,'' he said. ''Everybody feels terrible for those families, but this is really a message to Washington, and is separate from those events.
''It wasn't intended in any way to connect with any weapons used by any crazy people.''
Asked if people might make that connection, he said: ''The gun-grabbing crowd is going to be critical of this no matter what we call it. If we concern ourselves with trying to please everyone, we'll never be able to take any action.''
The day of resistance website features a US flag covered with the shadows of protesters holding guns, including assault rifles, aloft. Mr Stockton runs the conservative website TheTeaParty.net along with 20 full-time staff, and said the protests could be bigger than the wave of Tea Party protests that swept across the US following Mr Obama's 2008 election win.
''We're actually seeing an entirely new crowd of people who weren't politically active at all,'' Mr Stockton said. ''All of a sudden they hear the debate move to guns. We're seeing a lot of people who are outdoorsmen, who probably didn't vote in the last election, [or] in the last two elections.
Enacting more bans on guns will not stop bad people . . . If bans on things were successful, there would not be drug users.
''From the response that we've been getting we believe this is actually going to be larger than the Tea Party wave in 2009.''
Tiffiny Rueger, from the conservative pro-gun Women Warriors political action committee, said that ''these horrific massacres are not done by a gun''.
''They are crimes of an individual who chose a gun as their weapon. People who kill will kill with a gun, a car, a knife or anything else they create. Enacting more bans on guns will not stop bad people – it will leave good people unprotected. If bans on things were successful, there would not be drug users.''

|My 2nd ascent, this time using Feeling Minnesota to get up to the start of the 2nd pitch. Placed a .5 and .75 on Feeling (with existing bolts-2008) to the first anchor and then used the same pieces to protect the start of the bolted 2nd pitch of Command from there. You can rap this with a single 60m, no worries. The old beta says two rope rappel and we took that literally last time and thus got in a little trouble trying to rap off the southeast corner with a single 60, but it is fixed for 3 raps down the face. Watched a dude epic before us by running past all the stations and going to the top. Ran out of draws and rope, so just soloed basically the top portion dragging a rope spread out on a Z...dude...that was wicked. When he rapped to clean (since the 2nd was left on the ground), he had to use single bolt raps and do some Sylvester Stallone stuff to get back over to the rap line. Fantastic entertainment to say the least. Now I know how Fred B felt back when we were screwing around on it the first time.

From the experience of the Israelites during the exodus, to the cryptic words about Melchizedek in the Psalms, here are 8 helpful examples of successful approaches to preaching the gospel from the Old Testament by some of the most skilled expositors of our day.
There are individuals that believe that Jesus appears for the first time as He is presented in the Gospels and Acts then straight on through Revelation. D. A. Carson has provided us a Bible study that shows us that Jesus is there from the very beginning and in this book works through eight different books. For me this is an exciting study as I was always thrilled when my pastor taught on Jesus represented in "Types and Shadows" in the Old Testament. Now Mr. Carson and seven other authors display Him in eight books of The Bible. "The Scriptures Testify About Me" is not a book that should be rushed through, if you do you will miss all the flavor of these teachings. "The Scriptures Testify About Me" also is not a book that will be read once and then put on the shelf. On the contrary it is a book that will be referred back to over and over again. I liked this book a lot and recommend it highly! I think you will enjoy it as well and give it as gifts to your friends and loved ones. They will enjoy it and always remember you every time they read it.

The Lorax4 Stars Out Of 5Putting the OT and NT togetherMay 13, 2013The LoraxQuality: 4Value: 3Meets Expectations: 3This review was written for The Scriptures Testify about Me: Jesus and the Gospel in the Old Testament.When Christ makes claims about Himself from the Old Testament, do you sit there and think "huh?" If we are honest with ourselves, many of us have a poor understanding of how the Old Testament and the New Testament fit together - we see them as two entirely separate works that just happen to come bound together. But this isn't true. Instead, what we see from the Scriptures as a whole is that they tell one continuous story.
Enter the excellent book The Scriptures Testify About Me edited by D. A. Carson. What this book consists of is a series of eight sermons, seven of which draw from Old Testament passages and one of which provides a fitting introduction to the topic at hand. And what is that topic? Simply this: how do we see the various stories, prophecies, and truths of the Old Testament fulfilled in Jesus Christ and then applied to us? This book does a wonderful job of showing several ways to faithfully answer that question. I found some chapters much more helpful in this work than others, but that's par for the course on any book where each chapter is authored by somebody different. So rather than reviewing each and every chapter, I would like to instead point us to three that I found particularly helpful.
The first is Al Mohler's introductory address, entitled Studying the Scriptures and Finding Jesus. This is a wide-ranging introduction to the topic of understanding how the New Testament (and Jesus in particular) quotes from and utilizes the Old Testament. Any reader of the Gospels will be challenged often by Jesus' use of Old Testament quotations because Jesus doesn't simply quote wise proverbs to apply to life, but oftentimes brings up what (to our minds) are obscure quotations and then applies them directly to Himself! Mohler does an admirable job of helping us to understand where all of this is coming from and why it matters - or, as he says it: "We must preach Christ from all the Scriptures and find Christ in the gospel of the Old Testament as well as in the New. We need to allow the New Testament to train us how to read the Old. We must put the Bible back into the hands of believers - intact and whole - with Christ and the gospel of our redemption at the center. (p.32)"
Secondly, Tim Keller provides an excellent example of faithful understanding in his chapter Getting Out. This chapter centers on Exodus 14 and drives us to understand the story thematically - God is rescuing His people who are in bondage. For the Israelites, it's from a harsh regime of slavery, for us, it is from our own sin. He then goes on throughout the sermon to show the parallels between the Exodus and salvation. For example: "The Red Sea story is not just about what the Israelites get out of but also about how they get out. (p.43)" And how is it that they get out? Keller points us to two texts. The first is right there in Exodus: "The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still (14:14)." The second is remarkably parallel to the first: "to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness (Romans 4:5)." That is to say, we see God's sovereign act of grace shown as a foil in this well-known Old Testament story and yet made explicitly clear in the New Testament.
A third chapter which I found absolutely fascinating, encouraging, and challenging was D. A. Carson's own contribution Getting Excited About Melchizedek. Yes, that random guy in Genesis 14 who basically appears on the scene and then disappears in one of the stranger stories of the Old Testament. What are we to make of those verses? Why do they matter? Carson takes us to Psalm 110 and then to Hebrews 7, where Melchizedek is mentioned once again. The point? Carson argues (and I would agree) that Melchizedek is introduced on the scene as a pattern or a template. That is to say, it's not that Melchizedek is necessarily some sort of pre-incarnate form of Christ (that could be, though it is not the most likely answer) but that instead Melchizedek sets the scene and the tone for expecting Christ Himself. I love how Carson moves forward to show us that the story doesn't end with us making much of Melchizedek, but that instead Melchizedek points us to Jesus - we are to make much of Christ as our High Priest forever!
To conclude, this is a helpful work which will hopefully cause you (as it did me) to look again to the Scriptures - Old and New Testament - to see the gospel of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. If you are looking for an accessible introduction to understanding not only how the Bible comes together but also to how we see Christ even in the Old Testament, then this would be a great place to start.
As a final note, for those who would rather listen to these sermons as opposed to reading them, they are available for free download at The Gospel Coalition website.
(I wish to note that the publisher of this book, Crossway, provided it to me at no cost as a review sample. My review is in no way influenced or controlled by them, nor was it required to be positive, thus I write my review of this book with honesty and integrity.)

Georgia State University's Rialto Center for the Arts continues its 2012-13 season with jazz vocalist Dianne Reeves, Saturday March 16 at 8 p.m.
Reeves returns to the Rialto to share her unique jazz and R&B vocal stylings. Reeves won GRAMMYs for Best Jazz Vocal Performance on three consecutive recordings – a GRAMMY first in any vocal category. She appeared in George Clooney's Academy Award-nominated film Good Night and Good Luck, the soundtrack recording of which provided Reeves her fourth Best Jazz Vocal GRAMMY in 2006.
Reeves has recorded and performed extensively with Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. She was the first Creative Chair for Jazz for the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the first singer to ever perform at the famed Walt Disney Concert Hall. In 2008, Reeves released When You Know following a period of intense touring.
This album's uniqueness can be attributed to Reeves having performed in an unusual musical context: two guitars and voice. Conceived by her manager, Darryl Pitt, for Europe's Jazz Baltica Festival, the setting enabled her to discover new ways for her voice to both soar and seduce.
Tickets start at $38 and are available at the Rialto Center's box office, (404) 413-9TIX (9849) or http://www.rialtocenter.org. Group and Georgia State University student discounts are offered for this show. The Rialto Center for the Arts at Georgia State University is located at 80 Forsyth Street NW, Atlanta, Georgia. Free Parking available for all Rialto Series events.

>Technical Support>distance conversion
In the splits dropdown menu where you can make custom splits, is it possible to include a feature whereby if you do not enter a distance value but just change the distance unit, you can see the distance converted to the desired unit? I am interested in this because my default unit is miles but sometimes I run intervals on track and my various splits are in meters of different length, for example, I have the following workouts:
Currently I just put a note next to each to easily see what distance (in meters) the split was done in.
Runners run.
For example.
I don't understand the question. I do workouts all the time where the default units for the overall workout is miles but I use meters in the intervals section. It still displays my pace in minutes per mile.
I entered my intervals in meters (see screenshot in edit mode):
But when I view the workout, the intervals are in miles (see screenshot below):
What I want to see is the "view workout" page to look like the "edit" page where the distance are shown in the original unit of meters, so that I can see I was running 1400m @ a certain pace, as opposed to 0.87 miles @ certain pace (I'm fine with the pace column, it is just the distance column I'm talking about)
Maybe I need to fix some settings or something to make the original unit to show up?
The data was uploaded via Garmin .tcx file which has mile as the default unit (although I suspect the data inside the file is actually in meters, but I may be wrong). In RA, I manually edit the "distance" entry for my track runs because I want them in meters and also to round them to correct distances (400/800...etc, gps is never right on the spot).
Thanks Mike! (I must confess I always confuse your handle with MilkTruck for some reason, and I keep seeing your handle as "milkeymike")
MilkTruck is my distant cousin from up north.
Milky Mike is smooth and white.
If the intervals were obtained via the GPS, the interval distances will be displayed using your default distance unit. When you modify the interval distances, the system currently doesn't know that you've changed it so it contains to display the distance using the default unit. I'll address this when I get to updating the workout page in my log overhaul project.
Thanks Eric for the quick response!

In the Required Modules section you list Tree::DAG_Node, but in the FAQ just above you write that you use Tree::Simple.
Is the API stable enough that I can work on am HTML::Parser::Simple::XPath based on XML::XPathEngine [cpan.org]? Or do you want to do this?
Hi mir
My apologies - you are correct. I'm using Tree::Simple.
I will fix that.
And yes, the API is definitely stable.
Hi mir
Firstly, I've uploaded V 1.01 to CPAN.
Secondly, I suggest you work on that other module. I have only the tiniest experience with XPath.
OK, I'll have a look at it.
BTW, using XML::XPathEngine really means monkey-patching the XML/HTML module to make it behave enough like a DOM so the XPath engine can work on it. No XPath knowledge needed.

WHAT'S THE DELAY?: When will Janice Min sign a new deal with Wenner Media? It's been a month since the Us Weekly editor in chief's contract expired, but for those familiar with Jann Wenner's negotiating tactics, the delay isn't that surprising. Two years ago, Min let her contract expire, holding out for better perks for her staff, but she signed a deal worth $1.2 million annually a few weeks later. In 2003, Min's predecessor, Bonnie Fuller, also worked without a contract — reportedly never signing the three-year contract offered to her and subsequently leaving to join American Media Inc. as editorial director.
So what's the holdup this time? Sources close to Wenner speculate the editor could be holding out for more money. Some have said Wenner has offered her a deal worth as much as $2.5 million a year. Other observers speculate Min might be mulling offers worth even more from competitors in the celebrity weekly category or from major Internet companies eager to build up their media content. Min, meanwhile, has indicated she would like to stay at Us Weekly — if the right deal can be reached, that is. Calls to Min were not returned by press time. — Stephanie D. Smith
LOST IN THE CITY: Pity recently departed intern Katie Baker. Writing in [n]tern, the oddly named annual magazine produced by Condé Nast interns, she recalls being dispatched her first week to Long Island City to run an errand with her editor's corporate card. As fate (and chick lit) would have it, she went wildly off course and landed in both the Bronx and Harlem, where her wallet was stolen, editor's credit card included. There's more: In a twist omitted from the article, the magazine of Baker's employ, Jane, closed down from under her, sending her to Portfolio.
This year's [n]tern, spearheaded by the human resources department at Condé Nast — also WWD's corporate parent — is more properly a magazine than before, with diet, exercise and decorating tips; a feature on the challenges facing print media, and an interview with Gourmet editor in chief Ruth Reichl. It claims contributions from a third of this year's summer interns, most of whose paradigms of New York City and magazines seem to have been set by "Sex and the City" and "The Devil Wears Prada," earnestly recast in a cleaned-up Times Square — uptown pickpockets notwithstanding. There's a poll about where interns live showing "NYU/Union Square" slightly edging out number-two favorite Connecticut. That state's list of "places that stole our hearts (and our paychecks)" is dominated by Greenwich, where "from Rugby to Saks, you'll swear you're in SoHo." A fashion spread reminds interns that even upon return, "we can certainly bring the great style of the city — and Condé Nast — back home with us." Until next year. — Irin Carmon

STYLISH MAN: Best Life has hired Eric Villency as its style and design contributor to round out the Rodale title's expertise on home decor and style. Villency, a former model, is president of the Maurice Villency furniture line, which was founded by Eric's grandfather (the younger Villency also walked around town with socialite Olivia Chantecaille and is now married to Kimberly Guilfoyle, ex-wife of San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom). Villency will pen a column, answer reader questions and make television appearances on behalf of the magazine.
Speaking of Best Life, in a chart published in WWD July 20 detailing September ad pages for the major fashion magazines, a footnote stated the title published six issues last year and will publish 10 this year. Best Life, in fact, published 10 issues in 2006 and will total the same number this year. — S.D.S.

Big media companies are struggling to keep profits up as more and more consumers move to free methods of getting their news and information online. The internet and its nearly instant access to news at no cost to the reader have significantly affected most print publications.
Reuters reports that the big topic at the Sun Valley conference this week isn't about the economy, but is how big media companies will move to new business models that work better in the Internet age and offer viewers and readers what they want while still driving revenue.
The mood at the conference is described as "somber" and "very bearish" reports Reuters. Many executives are uncertain about how they will turn profits from distributing news and entertainment online and across other mediums like smartphones.
Much discussion at the event was on paid versus free content online. The internet-using public prefers free content that is ad supported for the most part. The broadcasters and print publications want to move to a revenue model that uses both paid content and advertising.
The challenge for the big media companies is in coming up with a business model that will allow it to keep the ad and subscription revenue model that cable TV uses and apply it to online endeavors where consumers are used to getting content for free.
Discovery Communications' David Zaslav told Reuters, "We're not using long-form content on the Web because it's not clear to us that's the way people want to consume content. But also the business model isn't there yet, so we're taking it slow."
Google CEO Eric Schmidt was at the conference and told reporters that he has been in early talks with Time Warner about getting paid cable shows on YouTube. Popular video provider Hulu.com has also been in talking about instituting a new paid content model and Hulu is also looking to extend its video service to smartphones with an iPhone app.

Denning held by Yewtree police
Former Radio One DJ Chris Denning has been arrested for a third time over alleged sexual offences.
The 72-year-old answered bail today and was told he faces further claims, before being released again until March.
He was first arrested in June last year by officers from Operation Yewtree, the national investigation triggered after abuse revelations about Jimmy Savile, and then again in September.
None of the claims against Denning relate to the late DJ.
Scotland Yard is running the inquiry in three strands - one involving claims against Savile, the second concerning allegations about Savile and others, and the third only others.
The force did not name Denning but said: "Today, Wednesday 29 January, 'Yewtree 13', aged 72 was further arrested after returning to a police station to answer bail. The arrest relates to further allegations made to Operation Yewtree.
"'Yewtree 13' was arrested on 3 June 2013 on suspicion of sexual offences and taken into police custody. He was subsequently released on bail pending further inquiries. On 10 September he was further arrested at an address in east London in connection with additional offences.
"He was re-bailed to return pending further inquiries. On his return today he was further arrested as above. He has now been re-bailed. Next due on a date in March.
"All allegations relate to the strand of the investigation we have termed 'others'."
