Callistethus tlapanecus, a new species collected in pine forest located at 2160 meters of altitude in eastern mountains of the state of Guerrero, Mexico is described. The morphological characters that distinguish it from other Mexican and Central American species are discussed. The diagnostic characters are illustrated, and a key to Mexican species of Callistethus is also included.
Keywords: Central America; shiny chafer beetles; taxonomy.
Se describe Callistethus tlapanecus, nueva especie colectada en bosques de pino situados a 2160 metros de altitud en las montañas orientales del estado de Guerrero, México. Se comentan los caracteres morfológicos que distinguen a esta especie de otras especies mexicanas y centroamericanas de Callistethus. Se ilustran los caracteres diagnósticos y se incluye una clave para separar las especies mexicanas de Callistethus.
Palabras-clave: Centroamérica; mayates brillantes; taxonomía.
The genus Callistethus was proposed by Blanchard (1851) and included only one species from Nepal, C. consularis Blanchard, 1851. Since then, a few other Asiatic species have been described in this genus, such as C. stoliczkae Sharp, 1878, C. seminitidus Fairmaire, 1889, C. pterygophorus Ohaus, 1903, and C. tumidicauda Arrow, 1912.
Machatschke (1957, 1972) transferred to Callistethus 130 Asiatic, African and American species originally described in the genera Anomala Samouelle, 1819, Euchlora MacLeay, 1819, Mimela Kirby, 1823, Popillia Dejean, 1821, Spilota Burmeister, 1844, and Spileuchlora Ohaus, 1903. Following the above cited author, Morón (1997) listed six Mexican species of Anomalini as members of Callistethus. Morón & Nogueira (1998, 2002) recognized this genus as a valid taxon for the American fauna describing a new species, but Jameson et al. (2003) commented on the possible paraphyly between Anomala and Callistethus. However, our phylogenetic studies based on species of 18 genera of Anomalini from around the world supported the monophyly of Callistethus allowing a new diagnosis for it (Ramírez-Ponce & Morón 2009).
Only two species with complete uniform coloration distributed in Mexico have the new diagnostic characters of Callistethus in agreement with Ramírez-Ponce & Morón (2009): C. lepidus Burmeister, 1844 from the mountains of Guatemala and southern Chiapas, Mexico, and C. pseudolepidus Morón & Nogueira, 2002 from the mountains of northern Oaxaca, Mexico. During the study of the Colección Nacional de Insectos, Instituto de Biología, UNAM (CNIN), we found specimens collected in the state of Guerrero, Mexico that represent a new species of Callistethus, described in this paper.
The terminology, characters and criteria used in the description are those of Ramírez-Ponce & Morón (2009). In this work we applied the phylogenetic species concept (Wheeler & Platnick 2000). Drawings were made with the aid of a camera lucida and stereomicroscope; measurements were obtained with an ocular micrometer and with electronic caliper. Photographs were taken with a multifocal microscope Leica Z16AP0A and a Leica camera DFC 490 using the Leica Application Suites software and form part of the "Irekani" digital database (http://unibio.unam.mx/irekani/index.jsp), under the coordination of the Unidad de Informática para la Biodiversidad (UNIBIO), Instituto de Biología, UNAM, Mexico. Studied specimens are deposited at CNIN (UNAM, City of Mexico) and at MXAL/IEXA (M. A. Morón collection, Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico).

Anterior angles acute and prominent (Fig. 1).
Scutellum: briefly longer than wide (1.14:1) lateral borders slightly angled, without margins; acute apex; punctures less marked than in pronotum (Fig. 1).
Elytra: glabrous, with 10 deep longitudinal striae and well defined rows of punctures. Epipleural fold wide, with rounded border, clearly defined from humeral area to metacoxal area, much narrowed towards apical area, not evident near the apex; surface smooth with a complete row of short setae, each one separated from other by the length of one seta. Elytral suture clearly raised toward distal third, with spiniform apex. Apical calla prominent, acute; in dorsal view the apex protrudes elytral distal border (Fig. 1).
Sternal areas. Mesosternum with wide distance between mesocoxae and meso-metasternal process long, in ventral view slightly constricted at base, with rounded apex; in lateral view scarcely protrudes the mesocoxae, curved, with acute apex slightly directed upwards (Figs. 11-12). Metasternum densely punctate, covered with many yellowish long setae.
Abdomen. Surface of sternites with many punctures of different form and diameter; each sternite with one transverse row of medium size setae near the anterior border (lost near midline) and one transverse row of long setae on the posterior half. Anal plate with smooth surface and posterior border entire and prominent. Pigydial plate weakly convex, with strigulate surface, many short setae on the disk and preapical area, and long setae along the border.
Legs. Protibia widened, external border with elongate acute, apical projection clearly curved exteriorly, followed by a wide semitriangular sinus. Protibial spur straight, short (do not reach inner apex of protibia) much wider basally, with inner border gradually swelled to middle and abruptly narrowed towards the acute apex (Fig. 2). Protarsomeres 1st-4th much short and progressively widened (first tarsomere slightly longer than the others); apical tarsomere notably stout, as long as the preceding articles (Fig. 2). Inner protarsal claw much modified, strongly angled downwards, with a brief denticle near the middle of inner margin and bifid apex, lower projection longer and three times wider than the upper projection (Fig. 2). Mesotibia slightly widened on the middle; external surface with two noticeable oblique keels provided with spine-like setae. Mesotarsomeres 1st-4th short (first tarsomere slightly longer than fourth). External mesotarsal claw with bifid apex, lower projection two times wider than the upper; inner mesotarsal claw deeply cleft, notably curved towards distal half. Metatibia long and stout, little widened on the middle, external surface with two raised oblique keels provided with erect spine-like setae, and other small keel near the basal articulation, marked with three setiferous punctures; apical border with 15 spine-like setae; lower apical spur blunt, as long as first metatarsomere. Each metatarsal claws with different size, but both with apex entire.
Genital capsule. Length 3.06 mm (basal piece-tectum-parameres ratio = 1.0:2.13:1.05) Tectum much convex, slightly narrowed distally (Figs. 3, 5); parameres shorter than tectum, with dorso basal surface coarsely punctate, apex narrowed and sinuate (Fig. 5).

Spiculum gastrale with lateral sclerites much separate, subrectangular accessory plates dark colored with some long setae near distal border; basal sclerite straight and shorter than lateral sclerites (Fig. 6).
Variation. Paratype male. Body length 13.7 mm, humeral width 6.0 mm. Similar to holotype with the following exceptions: protibia with apical projection less curved; pronotum with external border slightly angled; body color uniform shiny bluish green.
Distribution. Known only from one locality at 2160 m high, between Acatlán and Xochiatenco, east of state of Guerrero, Mexico, near to Prioritary Terrestrial Region "Sierra Triqui-Mixteca" (CONABIO-RTP-126) characterized by pine forest, pine-oak and mesophilous forests, where specific richness and endemicity is high (Arriaga et al. 2000).
Comments. This new species of Anomalini is included in the genus Callistethus by the mesometasternal projection long and acute; dorsal integument metallic shiny; pronotum without basal margin; and genital capsule with ventral plate fused completely to the parameres. Callistethus tlapanecus sp. nov. share several characters with some Central American species of the genus, as with C. phosphorus (Bates, 1888) and C. xiphostethus (Bates, 1888) such as the increase of the dorsal sculpture, specially deep pronotal punctation, deep elytral striae; distal third of the first elytral interval raised with spine like apex; propygidium and pygidium shortened; and meso-metasternal projection narrowed. Other Central and South American species of Callistethus similar to C. tlapanecus present more discrete sculpture on head, pronotum and elytra; rounded clypeus; pronotum with lighter color on lateral borders (also present in C. collaris Burmeister, 1844 and C. calonota Bates, 1888), hind angles rounded and lateral margins slightly angled; propygidium and pygidium enlarged, exceeding clearly the elytral apex; and mesometasternal projection widened and exposed, while other species as C. specularis Bates, 1888 and C. chrysanthe Bates, 1888, presents in addition to the lighter lateral edges of pronotum, the elytra intensely yellowish and the body size considerably larger.
Mexican species such as C. lepidus and C. pseudolepidus have genital parameres slightly compressed, while C. phosphorus and C. xiphostethus have parameres strongly depressed; C. lepidus, C. pseudolepidus and C. tlapanecus have uniform green dorsal coloration, while C. phosphorus and C. xiphostethus have the lateral edges of pronotum yellowish.
Into the Mexican species, C. lepidus is more similar to C. tlapanecus, sharing the body form, punctation and uniform color of the pronotum, increase of length of antennal club, size and form of the head, shape of meso-metasternal projection, and form of male genital capsule, but C. tlapanecus is easily differentiated from C. lepidus by its longer antennal club (in C. lepidus shorter than combined length of scape, pedicel and funicle), protarsomeres stout with ventral denticle on distal article broad (in C. lepidus the protarsomeres and ventral denticle are thin and rather narrow, respectively), and elytral striae are continuous (in C. lepida the striae are discontinuous).

Relief for patients: diabetes, cardiac care drugs to cost less
The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) has fixed lower prices for 108 drugs used for treating diabetic and cardiovascular diseases.business Updated: Jul 15, 2014 00:59 IST
The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) has fixed lower prices for 108 drugs used for treating diabetic and cardiovascular diseases.
While the move will bring down prices of formulations including atorvastatin, gliclazide, glimepiride, heparin and metolazone among others by up to 35%, it is likely to hit profit margins of drug majors such as Sanofi, Abbott and Ranbaxy.
"The NPPA has fixed the prices of anti-diabetic and cardiovascular in respect of 108 non-scheduled formulation packs under Paragraph 19 of DPCO, 2013," it said in a notification.While drug firms were already simmering with discontent over the issues of de-growth and patent rows, the curbs are likely to add fuel the fire. "NPPA's notification extends beyond the mandate of DPCO 2013, which clearly states the "intention of the policy is to bring the essential medicines under price control and not to control the Indian pharma industry," said Shailesh Ayyangar, president, Organisation of Pharmaceutical Producers of India.
"The manner in which this decision has been taken is untenable," said Shailesh Ayyangar, MD, Sanofi India. Sanofi's shares fell 10.2% on the BSE on Monday.

Guelph Roll of Honour updates
The names of 31 soldiers who served and died during the first and second World Wars will be added to the Guelph Roll of Honour cenotaph in 2018, decades after making the ultimate sacrifice.
In 2014, the City of Guelph received inquiries from community members regarding names of military personnel they considered to be missing from the cenotaph. This prompted the City to develop a policy for identifying additional names at the cenotaph and a call to the community to submit names of members of the Canadian Forces from Guelph, who died as a result of their military service, and who were not already identified on the Roll of Honour.
The call for submissions generated 78 names submitted to Guelph Museums for further research. After reviewing military records and cross-referencing the names with those on the Roll of Honour, the Museum identified 32 of the suggested names were already included at the cenotaph, and 15 did not qualify for inclusion under the City's cenotaph policy.
With assistance from Woodlawn Memorial Park, the following names will be added to the Roll of Honour early in 2018:

Some 150,000 fans are expected at downtown Miami's Bicentennial Park for a showcase of the best of the best in dance music. That, of course, means a lineup that includes massive names like Underworld, the Chemical Brothers, Tiesto, and Deadmau5, along with other acts like Duran Duran, Erasure, Crystal Castles, and Empire of the Sun.

- Abstract
An unsolved problem in modern labor economics is the positive relation between the size of the firm in which a worker is employed and his wage. One line of research that has been developed quite recently in this field is the application of endogenous switching regression models. In this paper we utilize such a model to investigate firm-size wage differentials in the Netherlands. The principal findings are that larger firms pay higher returns on schooling whereas smaller firms tend to reward IQ. Combined with the finding that high IQ-workers are sorted into the largest firms, the results are consistent with a model of job screening. Furthermore, we find that employed sons of self-employed fathers are more likely to work in small firms and that wage prospects for all types of workers are indeed most favorable in larger firms.

Months After Newtown School Shooting, Facebook Finally Gets Around To Dealing With Scammy Tribute Pages
Earlier this week, reports out of Connecticut listed more than 100 purported "tribute" pages to the dozens of victims of the Newtown shootings. As we mentioned back in December, some of these pages directly solicit contributions but have nothing to do with the families or the school, while others are set up to mislead well-meaning Facebook users into "following" the page; these pages and their built-in audiences can then be flipped and sold to spammers.
Now, with added pressure from the public and lawmakers like Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Facebook says it is working with the state's attorney general's office to remove these fraudulent and misleading pages.
"We also created a new, streamlined, customized process with dedicated staff to allow concerns specific to the Sandy Hook tragedy to be addressed directly and immediately," says a Facebook rep, "while also recognizing that people across the country want to express grief for a terrible national tragedy. For the past few months, our rapid response team has acted swiftly to remove inappropriate materials flagged by the foundation and the families. We will continue to be vigilant."
Sen. Blumenthal says his office has been in touch with Facebook about these pages, and that the company claims to have been removing the profiles before this latest round of reports.
"But the important part of their message is that they will do better than they have and work with my office and respond more promptly and fully to the families," says the Senator.

A few complications after bladder surgery include new feelings of urge incontinence, difficulty urinating, inability to urinate, fistula and infection of the urinary tract, states Everyday Health. These problems can be treated.
The majority of these complications only last about a week or two, states Everyday Health. After an incontinence surgery that involves moving the bladder neck and urethra into a higher position, the patient may have trouble urinating until the body adjusts. Antibiotics can treat infections. Fistulas are abnormal openings from the urinary tract into the vagina. If left untreated, these openings can allow urine to leak into the vagina.

Breakout Session A: "Digitizing Campus Newspapers"
L. Suzanne Kellerman, Pennsylvania State University Christopher M. Raab, Franklin and Marshall College
Project Goals
Current Uses - Faculty/Curricular, Administrative
Current Uses - Alumni, Student Organizations
Current Uses - Athletics, College Advancement
Challenges and Costs
The digitized newspaper collection currently covers an 86-year period from 1915 to 2001, and is searchable via the World Wide Web.
OCLC Preservation Services (Bethlehem, PA) scanned the newspaper from the microfilm archival master. Olive Software, Inc. (Denver, CO) distilled, indexed, and created the searchable web interface.
Users can search the newspaper by article text, caption, or advertisement. In addition, the newspaper may be browsed by date, section, or page.
The next phase of digitization (The F&M Weekly - 1891 to 1915) is set for completion in spring 2008.
To view the F&M digitized newspaper collection, visit the web at:
F&M Student Newspaper Date Range Cost/Completion
Total Investment To Date $27,522*
*F&M currently pays $3,000/yr. in hosting fees to Olive Software
Total Estimated Costs Remaining est. $7,400
Example: Women' Studies course examined the history of coeducation movement at F&M from the early 1940s to late 1960s. History course examined F&M student response to turbulent political and social events of the 1960s.
Example: Facilities and Operations - Successfully utilized the student newspaper to uncover details surrounding past land acquisitions/sales, razing of buildings, installation of gates/fences, removal of walls/drives, dedication of trees, etc.
F&M Alumni - Alumni Affairs has used the digitized newspaper for exhibitions, to research and promote class reunions, and to develop a written history of the Alumni Association.
Example:Another interesting alumni response has come from former newspaper staff writers who discover web access to a digitized portfolio of their previous work.
F&M Student Organizations - Various student organizations have used the student newspaper collection to trace organizational histories, make collages, and celebrate anniversaries.
Example:College Entertainment Committee (CEC) used the digitized newspaper to create a 40th anniversary collage/8 ft. poster of Spring Arts Weekend (1967-2007).
F&M Athletics - The Athletic department has used the student newspaper collection to trace the histories of various intramural/varsity sports teams and coaches.
Example:Searched the newspaper to determine the exact year that Women's Field Hockey and Women's Lacrosse became official varsity sports.
College Advancement - The Development Office has utilized the newspaper in researching previous donors, and cultivating new donors and alumni (especially legacy families).
Example: The student newspaper collection is a rich source of primary material documenting major fundraising events and gifts over the past century. These include major monetary gifts, museum/library gifts, class-sponsored gifts, building dedications, endowments, capital campaigns, etc.
Accuracy -
Overall accuracy/professionalism of undergraduate reporting can be a concern.
"Gray Literature" nature of college newspapers can be a strength and a weakness.
F&M has found that the Student Newspaper Collection works most effectively in conjunction with College Archive records and images. "Consider it an additional tool in the research belt."
Sustainability -
Viability of newspapers in general (decreases in advertising revenue.)
Web 2.0 pressures (Blogs, Wikis, FaceBook, YouTube and other virtual student "collections.")
Ongoing Costs/Maintenance -
Additional cost/effort in offering Digital/Web Access while continuing Microfilming/Deacidification/Preservation Binding of College Newspaper
Ongoing Storage Costs (these increase with additional pages digitized/memory consumed.)
Technological maintenance and upgrades (especially if self-hosting.)
Vendor Stability/Instability (Olive dropped partnership with OCLC after two years.)

text: Fellow bhatters, im looking for someone who can look at my site and tell me what I'm doing wrong, or can even make my site move in any possible direction in the serps. Really, lol. I've been in the IM game since last september and studied everything I could for at least a half year about SEO. I'm making money day by day but not with the thing I really want, SEO. I've read countless threads here about every way making backlinks, and I've tried a lot of ways but none of my sites actually moved in the serps, maybe an Eza article with like 500/months search volume moved up two spots after two months of constant work of linkbuilding, lol. I had a lot of web2.0 sites and built links to them day by day. Had 2 domains with clickbank ads up, 4 or 5 articles up at least. And hell, all of these sites had MINIMUM competition, and max 3000/month search volume. Still they are nowhere, nada. I'd give one of my balls even for a google dance. C'mon how pathetic is that? .. My last project consist of a niche site with 5 articles up on a WP blog, going with clickbank ads. I've built 20 high-pr profile links every day for them for 2 months (deep-linking also), I've blasted it with SB a few times (around 2-3k links / month), and I'm still nowhere for keywords which has 0 search volume/m (really, google keyword tool sais N/A, lol). Had a couple of addons for firefox and all they said my on-page seo is good. So if anyone is kind enough to help me with this, and take a look at what I'm doing wrong, I'm more then happy to give him money. I'm not a noob seeking for help without giving anything. I think I still can't send PMs here, so let's start it in the thread first. Sorry for my bad English and wall of text. =]

Dream Big
Have you ever had a dream to do something or go somewhere? Well, my advice would be to pursue that dream and never give up on it. I believe that if I have a goal, don't give up on it. I try not to let other people bring me down in the process of doing it. If I can do that, then I'll be sure to reach my goal.
Bob Dylan once said, "When you feel in your gut what you are and then dynamically pursue it-don't back down and don't give up-then you're going to mystify a lot of folks." This quote really meant a lot to me. It's what helped me believe in not giving up on my goals. There are many stories that are about people going from rags to riches or how hard the journey was to get where they are. One example that really sticks out to me is Michael Jordan. His story is very inspirational to many young athletes all over the world. Jordan was cut from his freshman basketball team because the coach said he just wasn't good enough. Later down the road though, Jordan went on to be inducted into the North Carolina and NBA Hall of Fame and is said to be the greatest basketball player ever.
Another good example would be Bob Dylan. Dylan was in a severe motorcycle accident in July of 66'. Many people said that there was no way Dylan was going to be able to come back from a crash like that and that his career was over. While Dylan was in his basement injured, he continued to write music. To prove people wrong, he recorded more songs, sold more albums, and became one of the best singer/songwriters ever.
My belief also came from a personal experience. When my uncle was younger, he wasn't always doing the best in school. His goal for when he got older was to run his own business doing something that he loved. Many people thought that he wouldn't really go anywhere in his future, and that there was no way that he would be able to run his own business. After high school, he went on to do an apprenticeship to become an electrician. Although he did something after high school, people still said that he still wouldn't go anywhere. He started to get frustrated with people telling him that, so when his apprenticeship was done, he joined the air force. Again, nobody gave him credit. When he got done with his time in the air force this past year, he finally got the time and money to start up his own business. When I went to his congratulations party, I could tell that he was pretty happy with his accomplishment.
I have many goals that I want to accomplish in my life. One of those goals is to graduate from high school and go on to college. One thing I need to do that is really important for this goal is to get all my homework done for all my classes. If I do that, I should be fine on completing my goal. All I have to do is complete the task on my way to competing my goal, and then I will reach it and achieve it.

Austin, Texas
Oops! You have reached our engagement site for last year. Please visit atx.budgetsimulator.com for our new budget simulator tool.
The first step in the activity is to estimate your annual combined property tax and utility bill to provide a representation of what you pay every year toward each of the service areas included in the exercise. This information enables the Budget Simulator to show you in real time how your funding choices for each service area will impact your annual combined City of Austin property tax and utility bills. This calculation is an estimate, so it will not be exact. Please note that for the property tax portion, the number may look low. That is because only about 21% of your total property tax bill goes to the City of Austin. The rest goes to other jurisdictions, like your school district or county.
Your estimated annual City of Austin property tax bill is determined by the assessed value of your home. If you are a homeowner, enter your assessed property value provided by your County appraisal district. If you don't own a home or are not sure of your property's current assessed value, you can use the median non-senior homestead assessed property value of $251,994, look up the assessed value of your property through Travis County Appraisal District or Williamson County Appraisal District websites, or input the value of your choice. For example, if you are a renter, you can input the estimated property value of your house or unit.
After the Budget Simulator calculates your estimated property tax bill, it adds that value to the total annual utility bill for a Typical Residential Rate Payer. Together, these two values make up your combined annual tax and utility bill, which will be used in the exercise.
The Typical Residential Rate Payer is defined as follows:
- Austin Energy – $1,254.84 (Residential customer usage of 1,000 Kwh)
- Austin Water – $932.52 (Residential customer usage of 5,600 gallons of water and 4,000 gallons of wastewater)
- Austin Resource Recovery – $279.60 (Residential customer using 64-gallon cart)
- Clean Community Fee – $91.80 (Per single-family home)
- Transportation User Fee – $117.24 (Per single-family home)
- Drainage User Fee – $130.32 (Residential customer with 3,100 sq. ft./37% of impervious cover)
Total Annual Impact – $2,806.32
After calculating the estimated amount you pay the City every year in property taxes and utility bills, you can click through 11 categories, each with specific service areas where you can make the funding choices that matter to you. Real-time updates will show the impact of your funding choices on your estimated annual combined property tax and utility bill. So, if you choose to increase funding in the Pools & Aquatic Programming service area, you can see how that will effect what you pay every year.
At the end of the exercise you can review your choices and make changes before submitting your selections.
It is important to note that this tool only asks about direct services, so there are aspects of the city's budget, like support functions and most capital improvement projects, which are not included in this exercise. The citywide Operating Budget is divided into many funds and service areas, which supports day-to-day operations of direct services. The citywide Capital Budget funds projects to improve facilities and infrastructure assets for the benefit of its citizens, which is largely funded by debt. This tool will highlight a majority of the Operating Budget funds and service areas, services funded by rates, and the capital projects funded through the Watershed Department.

steel pen gun
This is my first attempt at a barrel sealing piston or any sort of piston for that matter. I am using a bb as a piston not to sure yet whether it will work? The body of the pen gun is made from 6.3mm id steel the wall thickness is roughly 1.5mm, and the barrel is made from an old pellet gun barrel rouhgly 3.5mm, I am using a shrader to fill the pen gun and as the trigger. Nothing has been glued yet I am waiting to go down the street to get some araldite. Any suggestions?
Its looking pretty sweet so far. let us know how it works when all is said and done. or better yet, get some video of it working...
I like to play blackjack. I'm not addicted to gambling, I'm addicted to sitting in a semi-circle.
Have you got anything to help make a good seal between the barrel and the airsoft bb. Other than that looks pretty cool.
i am going to put a piece of neoprene between the bb and the barrel didnt cut it yet because i would probably lose it.
Re: steel pen gun
What sort of pellet gun is that then?
The gap between the BB and the chamber wall is relatively small but not insignificant, make sure you keep your pilot volume tiny.
the pellet gun was just a cheap one from a $2 shop before they were banned (i live in australia) i hadnt thought about the pilot volume but thanks i will keep that in mind.

The Berkshires are an area of natural beauty in western Massachusetts, bordering Connecticut, New York, and Vermont, that has long been a favorite vacation destination. During the Gilded Age of the late 19th century, when Vanderbilts, Sloanes, and Morgans were building hundred-room "cottages" there, the Berkshires was dubbed "The Inland Newport." More recently (2009), National Geographic named the Berkshires one of the ten best destinations on Earth, deeming it "a cultural hideaway." The leading art museums in the Berkshires, Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA), and the Norman Rockwell Museum are as highly regarded in the art world as their Berkshire neighbors are in their own niches: Tanglewood, summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, and the Berkshire and Williamstown Theatre Festivals.
Located less than ten miles apart in the northern Berkshires, the Clark Art Institute and Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art present permanent and changing exhibitions that can satisfy the most diverse tastes in the visual arts. For example, the permanent collection at the Clark includes works by Renoir, Monet, Homer, and Sargent, whereas visitors to MASS MoCA can view a massive installation of work by Sol LeWitt through 2033! Less than an hour's drive away are the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, where the beloved painter lived for 25 years, and Chesterwood, the studio museum where Daniel Chester French sculpted the seated Lincoln for the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC.

2011-12 PA Budget Address
March 9, 2011
By Lydia E. Hollinger
Yesterday, Governor Tom Corbett presented his 2011-12 budget to the Pennsylvania state legislature. Promising to "spend less" because Pennsylvania has "less to spend" and to "tax no more because the people have no more to give," Governor Corbett offered a $27.3 billion balanced budget based on four core principles: fiscal discipline, free enterprise, limited and transparent government, and reform.
Fiscal Discipline
Governor Corbett defined fiscal discipline as meaning "no new spending" or:
No tax increases
Discontinuing the practice of borrowing from one fund to pay for another
The elimination of "walking around money" or WAMS (for an estimated saving of nearly $800 million)
Eliminating per diems for state employees
Reducing the size of the state employee vehicle fleet
Reviewing existing boards and commissions for wasteful spending
Cutting funding for state-supported universities, holding them accountable for spending and performance
Asking officials in public schools to hold the line on pay increases (could save school districts across the Commonwealth $499 million)
Requesting state employee salary roll backs or freezes and increasing their contributions to healthcare benefits
Free Enterprise
Governor Corbett expressed a strong desire to create jobs in Pennsylvania and to "grow our way out of hard days" by:
Advertising and marketing, here and around the world, programs that promote economic growth and job creation
Consolidating the Department of Community and Economic Development's (DCED) 127 programs to 56
Providing tax credits to those who assist in improving Pennsylvania business and industry
Improving the permit review process
Creating a Marcellus Shale Commission (Lieutenant Governor Jim Cawley will head)
Retaining tax credits for new and growing industries
Limited and Transparent Government
"Limited government means not mistaking someone else's property for your own," Governor Corbett expressed. Later on in his speech he provided several solutions to the issue of transparency in government including:
Creating an online budget "dashboard" – an online database that would "put citizens in the driver's seat" allowing them to view the budget, track spending, and even track revenue sources from the comfort of their homes.
Establishing a privatization task force whose main responsibility would be to determine unnecessary government
Eliminating 1,500 state positions to reduce administrative spending by 10 percent over four years
Governor Corbett expressed a need to rectify scales that have "long [been] tipped out of balance by the quick fix and the easy answer." He stated that "we [as Pennsylvanians] have an obligation to get things right" and proposed the following education, property tax, legal and tort reform, and regulatory reform measures in order to accomplish such:
Providing quality education options, based on individualized learning, for students and families in both public and private schools
Imposing economic furloughs in local school districts
Increasing bid size limits
Eliminating support of master's degree salary "bumps" in school districts
Allowing the citizens to decide how their local tax dollars property taxes are spent
Minimizing the number lawsuits that hold a person, company or local government agency liable for 100 percent of damages halting jobs and increasing costs for business, healthcare, consumer goods and services
Phasing-out the Capitol Stock and Franchise Tax so that in 2014 the tax is eliminated
Eliminate backlogs and expediting the permit process
In addition to these four core principles, Governor Corbett also addressed public health and safety, proposing the following:
The expansion of crime and violence prevention efforts
Maintaining and funding two new classes of PA State Police
Allocating funds for the Safe School Initiative
Focusing on services and treatment programs that promote the management of rare diseases, emergency
preparedness, cancer screening, and child health programs
Funding programs that provide assistance to our military troops and veterans
Reevaluating Pennsylvania's Medicaid programs – making it consistent with other state Medicaid
programs and ensuring that only those who are truly in need are receiving access
Reevaluating Pennsylvania's long-term living system
Combining criminal justice programs
Overall, Governor Tom Corbett's 2011-12 budget proposed a 3 percent budget cut from the current state spending plan. The month of March will busy the Senate and the House of Representatives with budget hearings. They will listen to the testimonies of each state agency and before long each chamber will propose a budget to be voted upon. In the meantime, we will be attending any and all budget hearings that relate to your industry and we will be in contact with any information we may receive of relevance. Should you have any questions regarding Governor Tom Corbett's budget address or, if you would like more information in regard to what you have read this afternoon, please be in contact. We have an open door policy and are always available to assist you in any way that we can.

Rail budget satisfactory, will benefit industry
Today, the contribution of Indian railways is around 1.2% of the GDP and all stakeholders envisage that by 2020, it should reach about 3%. This will help sustainable economic development in the country at a level that was very recently the pride of India.india Updated: Jul 09, 2014 11:04 IST
Infrastructure plays a vital role in development of economy of a nation, and rail infrastructure is in fact the most critical as it has a multiplying effect on the overall growth. Over the past few years, this has indeed been the underlying item in all debates on sustainable infrastructure, as the creation of rail infrastructure has significantly lagged the demand in our country.
Indian railways has always played an important role in our nation building.
Today, the contribution of Indian railways is around 1.2% of the GDP and all stakeholders envisage that by 2020, it should reach about 3%. This will help sustainable economic development in the country at a level that was very recently the pride of India.
In view of this, we expected the budget to focus on increasing capacity, on announcement of measures to increase rail share of freight loading and passenger traffic, improving the inflow of funding, on the kick-start of major PPP projects for the manufacturing of rolling stock and on speedy implementation of projects. This would help create world class infrastructure for one of the largest rail networks in the world.
Considering this, we welcome the statement of the honourable rail minister that railway "must earn like a commercial organisation and serve like a social organisation."
The proposals outlined in the budget 2014-15 focus on increasing safety, eliminating unmanned level crossings through appropriate solutions, increasing passenger amenities, enhancing throughput and loading of freight and parcels by use of state-of-the-art technology and implementation of high-speed rail diamond quadrilateral. All these progressive initiatives should impact industry positively.
The honourable minister also mentioned the need of investment of Rs 5,00,000 crore to build a modern rail infrastructure over the next decade. Moves to bring in FDI and higher private participation would help in this direction. We are confident that the public private partnership projects will benefit from the operational efficiencies of private sector and domain expertise of the railways.
I am confident that the proposed initiatives to form a project formulation and management group and implementation of Decision Support System for monitoring the progress of these projects would give fillip to the Indian rail industry.
With our broad competencies, vast experience and energy-efficient technologies in rail systems (such as propulsion, electrification, automation etc), we will be able to partner the Indian railways in their ambitious plans to modernise rail infrastructure, including electrification, signalling, safety systems, rolling stock of varying speeds , dedicated freight corridors, etc. This will provide direct benefit to our mobility business.
Overall, the railway budget 2014-15 is satisfactory and would be beneficial for the industry, Siemens' businesses and people at large.
We are committed to transform cities for the better through sustainable technologies and railways remains our key focus sector.
(Tilak Raj Seth is VP, rail transportation cell (CII))

Follow the tips to write an effective article.
Arranging the ideas you have in your mind
Before start writing, planning is very necessary. If you have a topic to write on, it's obvious that several ideas would arise in your mind. No, you should know from where you want to start and what you want to add. Always give preference to the facts rather than the fiction so that you can give as accurate information as you can.
State what you want to imply in starting
You should give glance of the information to your readers in the starting of the article. The readers have several options therefore; there is no harm in being a little straightforward. If the purpose or the point of the article is not clear, readers would not like to waste their time. Another way to start your article is from questions like "how," "are you" etc. It creates an interest in reader to read further as he/she is going to know about something new.
Give proper information but refrain from lengthy paragraphs
You might have the most appropriate information in your article but if it contains long paragraphs, readers would have second thoughts to read it. Therefore, try to keep the paragraphs short and concise. Don't add irrelevant words to make sentences longer. Moreover, refrain from using uncommon words as you are imparting information about your business not showing your how your vocabulary is.

Evaluation Of Refractive Index Approximations Used For Mode Determination In Multiple Quantum Well Slab Waveguides
Document Type
Publication Date
Published In
IEEE Journal Of Quantum Electronics
Approximations commonly used to determine the effective indexes of the guided modes of optical waveguides formed using multiple quantum well materials are compared to the exact solutions in the slab waveguide model. Modeling the quantum well region as a single homogeneous layer with an average index of refraction is shown to produce results in close agreement with exact values of the effective index. A geometrically weighted average of the indexes provides the most accurate approximation for typical values of index and layer thickness of GaAs-Al(x)Ga(1-x)As quantum well waveguides.

IBM Haifa's Gal Shachor: This new application development tool will let users with no software development expertise skill create online forms with ease that complete routine tasks,"If you're a small business owner and drowning under a sea of information with no idea how to use the relevant computer applications, the IBM research team in Israel has just invented a lifejacket for you.
They've just announced their Development Engagement Service (DevEngage), a free Web application development tool with a simple user-interface to allow people without technical skills in small businesses and other organizations to create applications that solve daily tasks. By giving users easy tools to create simple applications themselves, the DevEngage eliminates wait time required when a typical employee issues an application development request through an IT department.
Unlike other solutions which require technology-savvy users, the software is designed to appeal to the average business user. By giving small businesses tools that had once only been available for large businesses with large programming budgets, IBM has given the power back to the people.
"This new application development tool will let users with no software development expertise skill create online forms with ease that complete routine tasks," said Gal Shachor, project lead for this technology at the IBM Research Lab in Haifa. "IBM wants to ensure that users at small and medium-sized businesses are able to capitalize on modern Web 2.0 technologies in a simple, user-friendly way."
IBM Israel is the umbrella organization for all IBM activities in Israel and was established in 1950. It employs about 2,000 people, with its main headquarters in Haifa.
Looking to simplify business collaboration and eliminate the need to send small projects to programmers, IBM Haifa's team saw that most small businesses were operating inefficiently.
"When we look at how small businesses organize the way they work or how business scenarios happen today, we see that people are using spreadsheets and inputting it into another application or database," Shachor told ISRAEL21c. "When people try to collaborate around a solution that was built around a spreadsheet, it's very hard to keep the data in synch."
The DevEngage has a variety of potential uses. For example, in a small business where lunch is ordered every day from a local restaurant and the office manager collects orders and subtracts lunch costs from an employee's weekly salary, the application can be used to build a web-based form where each employee fills in his lunch order. The program can then track the weekly or monthly costs and keep everything orderly, freeing up the office manager for more essential tasks. This can also allow the restaurant owner to prepare the right food on time, leading to better service.
If any of the above sounds complicated or relevant only for businesses, it's not. In fact, its inspiration was a simple home repair project.
Shachor, one of IBM's senior technical employees, needed a way to work with his wife during a recent home renovation, managing quotes and contracts. Looking at how IBM works in a large setting, he realized that the process could be simplified to allow for individuals and small businesses to create customized systems to collaborate and organize their needs.
"I felt that this could be done by someone who's not a developer if only we had the proper user interface," he said.
With the DevEngage, interactive forms can be developed over the Internet, using a regular browser. The user runs through a series of "wizard" pages that allow for the customization of details such as an application name, behavior, look and feel. Once the application is designed, it is submitted to the tool's Java-based server-side back-end where the application is built. At this point the back-end uses templates to generate the application and returns a website address where the form is accessible via the Internet.
In addition to capitalizing on the Web 2.0 trend of increasing participation and collaboration at the user-end, the DevEngage has great potential to save time and money, by avoiding needs for businesses to wait for programmers to develop software to suit their needs. And by basing the system over the Internet, it avoids the need to purchase multiple expensive software programs and is more secure.
"If you're using something over the web, there's no hardware installation, no risk," said Shachor.
This brand-new software – available here – fills an important need for workers in small businesses, according to Glen Gould, Director of Small-to-Mid-Size Business at the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce.
"As more business activities move online, there are more occasions to ask the IT Department for help. But if you have to wait a lengthy period for support, or you don't have an IT dept, you can save either time or money – and a lot of aggravation – by quickly creating your own online forms for just about anything."
As Shachor neatly sums up the advantage of the DevEngage, "Basically just open the browser, point to a URL, and you see your data."
