Chris and I happened to be at Gatineau City Hall the other day which turned out to be surprisingly nice inside. Lots of windows in a cathedral, six story high, inside courtyard type of thing. If that makes any sense, haha. While we were there we came across the Montcalm Gallery. I had heard of it but never knew where it was and I, of course, had to go in. We were quite pleased we did because we were introduced to the Eric Nadeau Exposition – Machine Memories and Work Stories.
"In work, in human labour, in our daily tasks, narratives are born, intersect, and are woven into the fabric of our collective memory. The artist's creations are variations on a single theme: the work stories that reveal and unite us."
Here he made an automatic weapon out of an old typewriter and if you notice the typewriter on the right the keys were replaced with bullets.
There were quite a few of these characters in the exhibit made with old Singer Sewing machines, all with their own personality. There was quite a contrast between the sweetness of these two and some of the weapons he had created.
This piece was a deconstructed umbrella. I wish I had of written down the names of all the pieces.
More guns made from typewriters. (Sorry about the photo quality, since it was an impromptu visit I only had my phone)
Made from the top of an old wooden spool. Would love to have this piece in my home.
These little guys were made from steel toe boots.
She was my favourite. Not sure if it is because it was my favourite colour or if it is because I have the identical one (still in sewing machine form) that I inherited from my grandmother.
If you are in the area, (Hull, near the Museum of Civilization) it is definitely worth a quick stop in. I will also be keeping my eyes peeled for their next exhibit.

Bloodlines is one of the most autobiographical books I have written. It tells my story from racism to the path of redemption. I preached on the theme of Bloodlines yesterday to mark Martin Luther King weekend. The title of the message was "From Bloodlines to Bloodline." I argued that God is calling his people to move from the alienation of many bloodlines to the reconciliation of the single bloodline that began on the cross of Christ.
I urged my people to read the book. Not because I care about selling books, but because I want them to know my story, to be aware to the global relevance of the issue, and to feel the hope that comes from the power of the gospel.
In making the book available in a PDF version online for free we are trying to remove every obstacle that might keep you from that experience.
Chapter six is the one I tried to unpack in this week's message (to be posted shortly). It is close to the center of the Gospel's relevance for perseverance in the cause of Christ-exalting ethnic diversity.

On my Snow Leopard Mac, I can't seem to paste into a password field on login pages to Apple sites, (developer.apple.com for example). I thought is was a browser issue but it's happening with Safari, Chrome and Firefox so it must be the System. I assume this is somebody's idea of a security feature, though I fail to see the logic and it's very annoying.
Any ideas on how to fix, turn off or work-around this?

Minbaeva, Dana B.; Mäkelä, Kristiina; Rabbiosi, Larissa (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The knowledge-based view has recently been criticized for overlooking individual-level action and interaction in favor of an over-emphasis on the firm-level capabilities. This paper seeks to respond to that criticism by providing some individual-level explanations for a collective-level phenomenon – intraorganizational knowledge transfer. We suggest that variations in individual ability, motivation and the use of interaction opportunities provided by the organization explain part of the variation found in individuallevel knowledge acquisition and use, and that this has an influence on organizational level knowledge transfer within a firm. More specifically, we find that ability and intrinsic motivation are important drivers of individual level knowledge acquisition and use, while extrinsic motivation has no impact. Furthermore, the extent to which an individual uses interaction opportunities provided by the organization influences knowledge transfer both directly and through a moderator effect with ability and person-to-person interaction.

Rabbiosi, Larissa (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper explores theoretical and empirical ambiguities in the literature concerning the impact of foreign subsidiary autonomy on intra-MNE knowledge transfer. We argue that understanding the interdependences between subsidiary autonomy and the use of different communication systems – e.g. person-based and electronic-based communication systems – is crucial to putting forward new insights in the debate. Based on the recent literature on strategic management, we hypothesize that the two communication systems call for different degrees of subsidiary autonomy and vice versa. Using a data set consisting of 307 dyads between foreign subsidiaries and their parent companies, we find that two distinctive configurations positively affect the extent of knowledge transfer from foreign subsidiaries to their parent companies. The first is the combination of a high degree of subsidiary autonomy and the use of person-based mechanisms, and the second is the combination of low subsidiary autonomy and the use of electronic-based mechanisms.

This couple was apparently not feeling the love tonight.
In a clip posted by the Fresno Grizzlies, a AAA affiliate of the San Francisco Giants, an unhappy couple is spotlighted several times by the "Kiss Cam" until the frustrated lady dumps a drink on her negligent date.
After some office debate, we've decided this scene is decidedly staged. The couple gets pretty hammy with their soap opera-y reactions and the mega gulp cup looks to only contain water (no ice). Nonetheless, we applaud their efforts to spice up the normally banal Kiss Cam.

The Boob Beanie was developed in Australia by a breastfeeding mum who was sick of being judged for feeding her son in public. In a society where breasts are more accepted as sexual objects than their original intended purpose these beanies aim to get a little of our own back!
The Boob Beanie is available in four colour combinations flesh/pink and flesh/brown and chocolate/cocoa and chocolate/pink and are designed to look just like the real thing.
Here's every mum's chance to generate some shock value, while serving a very important purpose of protecting your loved ones head.
Enjoy laughing at the double takes and seeing the reaction for doing what just comes naturally.
And yes, we know there are a lot of boob men out there, so we've created a Boob Beanie just for you!

For experienced attorneys looking to build their practice through challenging and innovative work in a leading firm...
Summer associates are welcome to attend all in-house training programs, which may include litigation luncheon series...
Because our lawyers, and in many cases our clients, rely on BakerHostetler staff members for support...
In today's global economy amid the complex interplay between various nations' laws, it is increasingly important for clients to approach their business interests from a global perspective. The BakerHostetler International team takes a multidisciplinary, long-term approach to helping clients manage and address complex international issues so they can continue to establish a successful global presence.
Our team provides sophisticated advice and representation with respect to international business transactions, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, international disputes and litigation, international tax issues, international intellectual property rights, customs regulations, export controls and trade sanctions and embargoes. We represent and support clients in more than 100 countries across Europe, Asia, North America, South America, the Middle East and Africa.
Clients look to us for a wide range of global business and litigation needs because we provide competent and thorough advice, we are responsive and easy to work with, and we value long-term business partnerships with our clients. As one client told Chambers and Partners, "It was the individuals that impressed us the most—really great to work with and very skilled at what they do." Another noted "All of the attorneys servicing our company showed a high degree of professionalism—they were extremely competent in their area of practice and always responsive; the work was completed in line with established deadlines; they provided proper follow-up to ensure that we were satisfied with their work; and they maintained effective communication regarding changes in laws and regulations."
The strength of our international team is enhanced by our extensive network of carefully chosen overseas independent law firms who share our strengths and quality standards and with whom we have strong and longstanding relationships. We are adept at coordinating multi-jurisdictional teams, drawing on these international law firm relationships where necessary, to manage our clients' needs around the world. Rather than operating a number of our own overseas offices, which would restrict the choice of whom we partner with, we combine our lawyers' experience with that of the most appropriate overseas law firm as needed, enabling us to provide our clients with advice from the best-equipped specialists with the most relevant experience in each jurisdiction, delivered in a collaborative way.
International Trade – Compliance
The attorneys on our International Trade - Compliance team advise and guide clients through the whole panoply of international trade compliance issues that can impact their business activities, and assist them in taking advantage of all available tariff preferences and duty savings mechanisms. In addition to day-to-day counseling on international trade issues, we defend our clients in government enforcement actions, conduct internal investigations and import, export and sanctions self-assessments/internal compliance audits to identify international trade compliance shortcomings and recommend and implement corrections, litigate on their behalf at the U.S. Court of International Trade and represent them before the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States to obtain national security clearances for foreign acquisitions of U.S. businesses.
International Transactions
Our International Transactions team represents clients through a number of international business transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, technology transfers and licensing, debt and equity financing and contracts and commercial agreements, to help them reach their business goals. This team uses its experience, creativity and international network to create the correct corporate structures for the transactions and enforceable agreements in the countries involved.
Our International Transactions team has developed sophisticated techniques relating to the purchase, sale and financing of publicly-traded and privately-held companies. With a strategic focus on global markets and trade, we work to ensure that cross-border transactions meet our clients' objectives anywhere in the world.
International Disputes and Arbitration
Our International Disputes team handles major international litigation matters on behalf of both foreign and domestic clients by advising clients on the unique procedures and strategies of U.S. litigation; the application of foreign law, treaties and regulations; strategies for settlement; and international arbitration or other alternative dispute resolution procedures, where appropriate. We have won many significant cases in U.S. courts, as well as before all major international arbitration forums including the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the American Arbitration Association (AAA), and the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).
International Tax
Our International Tax team routinely advises clients on both outbound and inbound tax issues involved with cross-border mergers and acquisitions, financing transactions, planning issues, treaty issues, and transfer pricing matters.
As businesses of all sizes increasingly explore opportunities to expand beyond their traditional borders, international tax is becoming one of the fastest growing disciplines within tax law. Our International Tax team helps clients to stay ahead of the curve in competitive global markets. We work with clients of all sizes to structure cross-border transactions and provide efficient and practical advice related to global expansion.
Strategic Outsourcing
Our Strategic Outsourcing team helps companies to lower costs and improve information technology and business process efficiencies by tapping into resources worldwide. We have considerable knowledge and experience handling outsourcing arrangements in India, which continues to account for a majority of offshore outsourcing work, allowing us to help our clients to bridge cross-border differences in business and social culture, language, geopolitical risk, logistical infrastructure and dispute resolution processes in order to achieve successful outsourcing arrangements.
Whether a short-term process solution or a long-term strategy to maximize efficiency, our Strategic Outsourcing team helps companies to lower costs and improve information technology and business process efficiencies by tapping into resources worldwide. Our experience spans a wide range of industries, including financial services, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing, management consulting/professional services and computer technology.
International Trade Remedies and Trade Policy
Our International Trade Remedies and Trade Policy team advises a number of foreign companies in connection with their import activity in the United States. We have defended imports in a full range of industrial and other products—including Canada's softwood lumber, pure and alloy magnesium from Canada, various steel products from several countries, Mexican cement, nitrocellulose from Japan, fuel ethanol from Brazil, steel from South Africa, manganese sulfate from China, oscillating and ceiling fans from China, and cigarette lighters from China—with significant victories assuring the trade flow of all these products.
Intellectual Property
Through a number of longstanding relationships with intellectual property firms throughout the world, our International team coordinates the acquisition of patent, trademark, and copyright registrations, prepares and drafts intellectual property agreements, and designs and implements enforcement programs.
German Practice
BakerHostetler's German Practice is uniquely positioned to contribute the insight and legal experience required to assist companies from Germany and the German-speaking countries with their investments in the United States. We provide comprehensive legal advice on corporate issues including mergers and acquisitions, strategic alliances and joint ventures, corporate finance, site selection and formation of subsidiaries and a full range of international financial services to a number of clients based in Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
Our team is led by a German-speaking attorney and clients enjoy a level of trust with our entire German practice. We are used to working with corporate headquarters in the German-speaking countries, as well as directly with their U.S. offices, frequently helping to bridge cultural gaps and translating their respective business and legal needs and issues.

New Zealand guest nights fell in September as locals failed to pick up the slack from dwindling international visitor numbers.
Total guest nights at short-term commercial accommodation fell 3.6 percent to 2.11 million in September, compared to the same month a year earlier, and were down 1.4 percent from August, according to Statistics New Zealand.
That was led by a 28 percent plunge in international visitor nights to 709,000 from the same month a year ago, when New Zealand accommodation was bolstered by the Rugby World Cup. International visitor nights were down 4.7 percent to a seasonally adjusted 956,000 from August.
"The trend for international guest nights has been generally falling since a high point in September 2011," Statistics NZ said in its report.
Government figures showed the number of short-term visitors shrank 19 percent to 179,100 in September from a year earlier, when the country was flooded by fans for the Rugby World Cup.
New Zealand tourism has been struggling to cope with a resiliently high currency and increasing costs of long-haul travel, which have tarnished the appeal of a holiday in the South Pacific. That's seen national carrier Air New Zealand streamline its routes and team-up with government agencies to target key markets.
Today's figures showed domestic guest nights were up 16 percent to 1.4 million from September 2011, though down 0.3 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis from a month earlier. Locals tended to shy away from short-term accommodation last year during the Rugby World Cup.
Hotel guest nights rose 2.3 percent to 809,000 in September from the same month a year earlier, and motels, motor inns, and apartments reported a 0.8 percent gain in guest nights to 869,000.
Backpackers showed a 16 percent drop in guest nights to 261,000 and holiday parks reported a 15 percent drop in guest nights to 294,000 from September 2011.
Accommodation capacity shrank 2 percent to 4.1 million in the year, while occupancy rates, excluding holiday parks, fell 2.3 percentage points to 43.5 percent.

Alprazolam is used to treat anxiety disorders and panic disorder (sudden, unexpected attacks of extreme fear and worry about these attacks). Alprazolam is in a class of medications called benzodiazepines. It works by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain.
Alprazolam comes as a tablet, an extended-release tablet, an orally disintegrating tablet (tablet that dissolves quickly in the mouth), and a concentrated solution (liquid) to take by mouth. The tablet, orally disintegrating tablet, and concentrated solution usually are taken two to four times a day. The extended-release tablet is taken once daily, usually in the morning. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take alprazolam exactly as directed.
To take the concentrated liquid, use only the dropper that came with your prescription. Draw into the dropper the amount prescribed for one dose. Squeeze the dropper contents into a liquid or semi-solid food such as water, juice, soda, applesauce, or pudding. Stir the liquid or food gently for a few seconds. The concentrated liquid will blend completely with the food. Drink or eat the entire mixture immediately. Do not store for future use.
Remove the orally disintegrating tablet from the bottle just before it is time for your dose. With dry hands, open the bottle, remove the tablet, and immediately place it on your tongue. The tablet will dissolve and can be swallowed with saliva. The orally disintegrating tablet can be taken with or without water.
Swallow the extended-release tablets whole; do not chew, crush, or break them.
Your doctor will probably start you on a low dose of alprazolam and gradually increase your dose, not more than once every 3 or 4 days.
Alprazolam can be habit-forming. Do not take a larger dose, take it more often, or take it for a longer period of time than prescribed by your doctor . Do not stop taking alprazolam or decrease your dose without talking to your doctor. If you suddenly stop taking alprazolam you may experience withdrawal symptoms such as seizures; shaking of a part of your body that you cannot control; headache; blurred vision; increased sensitivity to noise or light; change in sense of smell; sweating; difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep; difficulty concentrating; nervousness; depression; irritability; agressive behavior; muscle twitching or cramps; diarrhea; vomiting; pain, burning, numbness, or tingling in the hands or feet; a decrease in appetite; or weight loss. Your doctor will probably decrease your dose gradually.
Alprazolam is also sometimes used to treat depression, fear of open spaces (agoraphobia), and premenstrual syndrome. Talk to your doctor about the possible risks of using this medication for your condition.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before taking alprazolam,
Talk to your doctor about drinking grapefruit juice while taking this medicine.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Alprazolam may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. The following symptoms are uncommon, but if you experience any of them, call your doctor immediately:
Alprazolam may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Discard any cotton in the bottle containing orally disintegrating tablets and close the bottle tightly. Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Symptoms of overdose may include:
Keep all appointments with your doctor.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Alprazolam is a controlled substance. Prescriptions may be refilled only a limited number of times; ask your pharmacist if you have any questions.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.
Please be aware that this information is provided to supplement the care provided by your physician. It is neither intended nor implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice. CALL YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER IMMEDIATELY IF YOU THINK YOU MAY HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider prior to starting any new treatment or with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

As you may or may not know, Wikia uses MediaWiki as our base software. This is the same base software that the Wikimedia Foundation uses for Wikipedia, but here at Wikia we run a heavily modified version of it. Currently we're using code based on MediaWiki version 1.16.
From time to time, we sync our version with the latest MediaWiki version, which as of May 2, 2012, is up to version 1.19.
Why we are upgrading?
First of all: to bring you new features!
But also because every new release contains many bug fixes and performance improvements. Most of these are changes happening under the hood which are not visible to users, but help us maintain our MediaWiki installation and expand.
How are we going about it?
We started with a clean MediaWiki 1.19 and gradually applied our changes to the core code. That is now complete, so next we are testing the whole infrastructure plus our unique extensions against the new code. This is to make sure everything is working exactly as it worked on previous version (or better).
Since Wikia is made up of thousands of wikis, rather just one, we have had to develop unique tools so that all wikis can be upgraded and run smoothly. To do this, every Wikia wiki is running on top of custom platform which we call WikiFactory. It allows us to run hundreds of thousands of wikis on one code installation.
Recently our Engineering Team completed an improvement to the way this system works, which gives us the possibility to run different wikis on different versions of the code. We call this new system Medusa, because… well, it was supposed to be called Hydra (multiple code version are like the many heads of the hydra), but someone confused the two monsters and the name stuck. Besides, Medusa has many serpents on her head, that kind of works, too, right?
MediaWiki 1.19 merge will be our first project which will utilize Medusa to gradually switch all wikis to the new version of the code.
The MediaWiki 1.19 upgrade project started in April and we hope for it to be completed by the end of July. We are going to start by migrating a set of special test wikis to make sure things go smoothly. When we are confident with this migration, we will migrate a handful of medium-traffic wikis to analyze how the process works on a real, live wiki. After that's done we plan to migrate our 5,000 biggest wikis.
Once those have been upgraded, the script will continue running on the rest of our wikis, slowly working its way through the more than 200,000 wikis on Wikia. We hope for this to be complete by the end of July and will keep you updated as we proceed. How will you know if your wiki has been migrated? You can have a look at the Special:Version page on your wiki which will tell you which MediaWiki version your wiki is currently running.
Selected bug fixes and new features
The upgrade brings us a lot of changes and fixes, many of them deep in the core code. Not all of these updates ones you will see directly on the site, but they include things like performance optimization to help the site run a bit faster, and code refactoring to make future development easier. There are, however, many which you might find interesting. Here's a selection:
- The default user signature now contains a talk link in addition to the user link.
- Built-in method for making tables collapsible. Instead of adding custom JavaScript to your wiki, you can now just use the class "mw-collapsible".
- File extensions (e.g. .jpg) will be automatically added to filenames on upload if the user specified a filename without an extension
- Images are now autorotated according to their EXIF orientation. This only affects thumbnails; the source remains unrotated
- The "This is a minor edit" checkbox is not available when you create a page or new section
- Support for metadata in SVG files (title, description)
- Inline rendering/thumbnailing for Gimp XCF images
- The parser cache is now shared amongst users whose different settings aren't used in the page
- A variety of category sort-related fixes, including:
- In English, lowercase and uppercase letters now sort the same
- Subcategories, ordinary pages, and files now page separately
- When several pages are given the same sort key, they sort by their names instead of randomly
- Interlanguage links display the page title in their tooltip
- Special:Listfiles now supports a username parameter
- And much more!
If you'd like to see a full list of the changes, take a look at MediaWiki's Release Notes for 1.17, 1.18 and 1.19. As we work on this upgrade, we will not be doing our weekly code release. This is so the site remains stable and all of our engineering team can focus on the upgrade. During this time there will also not be weekly technical updates. Once we feel the site is stable, we will restart weekly releases and the technical updates. Thank you for your patience as we release this, and feel free to post questions below.

same test under with the swf in c:\blog opens firefox and sends me to blogger.com
so it has a pattern
What i dunno is why it only does this when firefox opens for the first time. Why does it open two tabs? and why one tries to find a site with the path of your file (without the name of the file itself), but when it's opend it tries to find the name of the file itself or go to www.nameoffile.jpg or whatever extension you're using.
pretty interesting behavior

The last I remember reading about it was on trek movie where orci said they were curently in touch with CBS and were getting close to sitting down and actually talking about it. So why hasnt there been any new updates since last year?

Los Angeles uses less water per capita than any other U.S. city with more than 1 million people: about 123 gallons per person per day. Although the city is setting an example for the rest of the state, it can do much more. California is in a severe drought, and the water supply is expected to remain uncertain from year to year. We suggest the most straightforward path in L.A. to proactively plan for a drier future is to install dual residential water meters, one for indoor water use, the other for outdoor water use.
Research we have conducted at UCLA and the Colorado School of Mines shows that from 40% to 60% of water use in the city of Los Angeles is for irrigation. Current mandatory restrictions and price increases have reduced water usage 23% since 2009.
Looking at satellite imagery from before and during conservation efforts, the city did not measurably decline in greenness, including in the warmer regions of the San Fernando Valley. But overwatering is still the norm, and many landscapes are more appropriate for climates that get 30 inches of rain annually. Further reducing irrigation and changing landscaping are the next big frontiers for water conservation in Los Angeles, the region and many parts of the state.
The challenge is to maintain affordability for indoor use and to reform institutional cultures that stand in the way. Dual metering, with differential water pricing and increasing tariffs for outdoor water, would ensure that people will have affordable water for their daily needs while also increasing conservation. It would also ensure that indoor water pricing reflects family income, similar to the current life-line rate.
The technical solution involves installation of a so-called sub meter to measure all exterior water use. This is already possible. The Department of Water and Power sells meters for $255 that the homeowner can install to measure outdoor water use. It also can provide a bill that shows exterior usage. What is needed is for the DWP to promote and support this solution, differentially price outdoor water use and actively help homeowners understand this opportunity to better manage their water use.
If the DWP's culture embraces this as a method to conserve and offers customers a program with incentives, financed by charging more for the outdoor water, the economies of scale would make this an affordable strategy. This structure would help pay for a meter installation program.
The DWP currently has a two-tier allotment and pricing system, with usage beyond Tier One costing more. Our research found that Los Angeles neighborhoods with higher incomes use up to three times as much water as other areas. It's not surprising that larger properties and larger houses use more water, even at Tier Two's higher prices. Higher outdoor water prices — say a new Tier Three — would send a price signal to reduce outdoor water use, and could do so significantly depending on the price.
We also found that users who mostly stayed within Tier One allotments reduced their water use proportionately more than those whose usage extended into Tier Two. It would appear that lower-income residents are more price sensitive to water charges, and higher-income households are insensitive to the current pricing structure. Therefore, outdoor water use should be more expensive.
Tier Three should be accompanied by strong DWP messages about water abusers and potential fines above a certain threshold of use, calculated on property size. While it is unrealistic to cut off outdoor water use entirely, under drought conditions and greater water scarcity going forward, everyone needs to act responsibly.
As a complement to monitoring outdoor usage, we need to do more to replace our landscaping with drought-resistant plants. There are many ornamental plants that can thrive in this region, including trees and flowers. We can transform planting strips into areas for water retention and filtration zones, and cooling belts with climate-appropriate shade trees. Many dry regions have figured this out, implementing beautiful plantings with permeable surfaces like decomposed granite to encourage what rain does come down to infiltrate into groundwater.
Southern California and the Southwest have been blessed with an extraordinary water infrastructure built over the last 80 years. We have been enormously fortunate to have had an anomalously wet last century. But we have become spoiled, taking water for granted as we liberally water sidewalks and streets with overspray, wash down hard surfaces and wash our cars too often.
But water is life, and the conditions have changed. We must treat it as the precious resource it is and live within its limits. Dual meters and changed landscaping can be part of a broader vision that aggressively pursues each and every opportunity to conserve and save water.

In an effort to build the best product and cause no unnecessary harm, we carefully consider our use of textiles, treatments and processes. Here you'll find our thoughts and practices on everything from paper use to compostability.

Environmental Assessments of Materials
At Patagonia, we are constantly evaluating new materials and re-evaluating existing ones in our quest to make the best product. Environmental assessment is a key component of our strategy and drives which materials we should celebrate, which ones we should use with caution, and which materials we should avoid altogether. Below are some of the more interesting results from our research:
Bamboo Becomes Rayon
Bamboo is a fast-growing plant that requires no synthetic additives to cultivate. But when bamboo is processed into rayon fiber for clothing and other products, the need for a toxic chemical solvent negates any claim that bamboo fiber is sustainably produced.
"Biodegradable" and "compostable" claims are appearing on many consumer products – from detergents and flowerpots to plastic bags and even textiles. But because of the way we dispose of solid waste, these products are never given the chance to break down or decompose.
Neoprene from Limestone
Wetsuit rubber made from limestone isn't any more environmentally friendly than wetsuit rubber made from petroleum. Both materials have some pretty serious environmental consequences, though limestone spills are a lot easier to clean up.
PFOA and Fluorochemicals
The fluorochemicals used in most water-repellent finishes and waterproof membranes don't break down in the environment and may pose a threat to public health and safety. Working with our partners, we have found some alternatives and are searching for others.
PLA Made from Corn
Making plastics and synthetic fibers out of renewable resources instead of petroleum is a fantastic idea. But most polylactic acid that's used to make fiber is derived from genetically modified corn. Genetic modification of plants threatens biodiversity, may pose risks to health and safety, and gives corporations way too much control over our agricultural system.
PVC Printing Inks and Phthalates
PVC and phthalates are commonly found in inks used for screen-printing T-shirts, posing a potential health and safety concern. We use inks that are PVC- and phthalate-free.
100% Traceable Down Insulation
We want to give our customers the highest assurance possible that the geese that supply us with down are treated humanely. To that end, over the last several years, we have been working to develop both short-term and long-term alternatives to the use of down from live-plucked or force-fed birds. Here is a timeline of our examination of the Patagonia down supply chain.
Forest Fibers Policy
Some textiles are made from trees, a renewable resource. But ancient and endangered forests around the world are being exploited to produce textile fibers. We are committed to using only cellulosic fibers derived from trees grown on sustainably run plantations or responsibly managed forests certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
Chlorine-Free Wool
One of the ways we can lessen the impact of wool production is to recycle used wool.

Where We Make Our Products and Why
We consider a slew of factors when deciding where to make our products. Quality, price, proximity, labor practices, craftsmanship and factory capacity are among them. Product sourcing is a complicated topic. In this document we provide our views.
Green Business Practices and Paper Policy
We are faced with every day decisions on how best to make environmental choices. Here are some thoughts we have collected over the years covering many different topics.
Green Business Practices
We're often asked by other businesses what they can do to make their practices more environmentally friendly. The frequency of this question inspired us to create a document that offers tips and resources.
Paper Policy
Acutely aware of how irresponsible forestry practices are systematically destroying the Earth's biodiversity, Patagonia's paper use and procurement standards are some of the highest in the catalog industry.
Packaging and Merchandising Policy
Patagonia is committed to sourcing responsible materials in all aspects of our business. Patagonia's Packaging and Merchandising Policy and Implementation Guidelines were created to ensure that our environmental purchasing practices are consistent across all business operations.

It seems puzzling that Jefferson placed Mulberry Row, with its slave cabins and work buildings, so close to the mansion, but we are projecting the present onto the past. Today, tourists can walk freely up and down the old slave quarter. But in Jefferson's time, guests didn't go there, nor could they see it from the mansion or the lawn. Only one visitor left a description of Mulberry Row, and she got a glimpse of it only because she was a close friend of Jefferson's, someone who could be counted upon to look with the right attitude. When she published her account in the Richmond Enquirer, she wrote that the cabins would appear "poor and uncomfortable" only to people of "northern feelings."
The critical turning point in Jefferson's thinking may well have come in 1792. As Jefferson was counting up the agricultural profits and losses of his plantation in a letter to President Washington that year, it occurred to him that there was a phenomenon he had perceived at Monticello but never actually measured. He proceeded to calculate it in a barely legible, scribbled note in the middle of a page, enclosed in brackets. What Jefferson set out clearly for the first time was that he was making a 4 percent profit every year on the birth of black children. The enslaved were yielding him a bonanza, a perpetual human dividend at compound interest. Jefferson wrote, "I allow nothing for losses by death, but, on the contrary, shall presently take credit four per cent. per annum, for their increase over and above keeping up their own numbers." His plantation was producing inexhaustible human assets. The percentage was predictable.
In another communication from the early 1790s, Jefferson takes the 4 percent formula further and quite bluntly advances the notion that slavery presented an investment strategy for the future. He writes that an acquaintance who had suffered financial reverses "should have been invested in negroes." He advises that if the friend's family had any cash left, "every farthing of it [should be] laid out in land and negroes, which besides a present support bring a silent profit of from 5. to 10. per cent in this country by the increase in their value."
The irony is that Jefferson sent his 4 percent formula to George Washington, who freed his slaves, precisely because slavery had made human beings into money, like "Cattle in the market," and this disgusted him. Yet Jefferson was right, prescient, about the investment value of slaves. A startling statistic emerged in the 1970s, when economists taking a hardheaded look at slavery found that on the eve of the Civil War, enslaved black people, in the aggregate, formed the second most valuable capital asset in the United States. David Brion Davis sums up their findings: "In 1860, the value of Southern slaves was about three times the amount invested in manufacturing or railroads nationwide." The only asset more valuable than the black people was the land itself. The formula Jefferson had stumbled upon became the engine not only of Monticello but of the entire slaveholding South and the Northern industries, shippers, banks, insurers and investors who weighed risk against returns and bet on slavery. The words Jefferson used—"their increase"—became magic words.
Jefferson's 4 percent theorem threatens the comforting notion that he had no real awareness of what he was doing, that he was "stuck" with or "trapped" in slavery, an obsolete, unprofitable, burdensome legacy. The date of Jefferson's calculation aligns with the waning of his emancipationist fervor. Jefferson began to back away from antislavery just around the time he computed the silent profit of the "peculiar institution."
And this world was crueler than we have been led to believe. A letter has recently come to light describing how Monticello's young black boys, "the small ones," age 10, 11 or 12, were whipped to get them to work in Jefferson's nail factory, whose profits paid the mansion's grocery bills. This passage about children being lashed had been suppressed—deliberately deleted from the published record in the 1953 edition of Jefferson's Farm Book, containing 500 pages of plantation papers. That edition of the Farm Book still serves as a standard reference for research into the way Monticello worked.
By 1789, Jefferson planned to shift away from growing tobacco at Monticello, whose cultivation he described as "a culture of infinite wretchedness." Tobacco wore out the soil so fast that new acreage constantly had to be cleared, engrossing so much land that food could not be raised to feed the workers and requiring the farmer to purchase rations for the slaves. (In a strangely modern twist, Jefferson had taken note of the measurable climate change in the region: The Chesapeake region was unmistakably cooling and becoming inhospitable to heat-loving tobacco that would soon, he thought, become the staple of South Carolina and Georgia.) He visited farms and inspected equipment, considering a new crop, wheat, and the exciting prospect it opened before him.
The cultivation of wheat revitalized the plantation economy and reshaped the South's agricultural landscape. Planters all over the Chesapeake region had been making the shift. (George Washington had begun raising grains some 30 years earlier because his land wore out faster than Jefferson's did.) Jefferson continued to plant some tobacco because it remained an important cash crop, but his vision for wheat farming was rapturous: "The cultivation of wheat is the reverse [of tobacco] in every circumstance. Besides cloathing the earth with herbage, and preserving its fertility, it feeds the labourers plentifully, requires from them only a moderate toil, except in the season of harvest, raises great numbers of animals for food and service, and diffuses plenty and happiness among the whole."
Wheat farming forced changes in the relationship between planter and slave. Tobacco was raised by gangs of slaves all doing the same repetitive, backbreaking tasks under the direct, strict supervision of overseers. Wheat required a variety of skilled laborers, and Jefferson's ambitious plans required a retrained work force of millers, mechanics, carpenters, smiths, spinners, coopers, and plowmen and plowmen.
Jefferson still needed a cohort of "labourers in the ground" to carry out the hardest tasks, so the Monticello slave community became more segmented and hierarchical. They were all slaves, but some slaves would be better than others. The majority remained laborers; above them were enslaved artisans (both male and female); above them were enslaved managers; above them was the household staff. The higher you stood in the hierarchy, the better clothes and food you got; you also lived literally on a higher plane, closer to the mountaintop. A small minority of slaves received pay, profit sharing or what Jefferson called "gratuities," while the lowest workers received only the barest rations and clothing. Differences bred resentment, especially toward the elite household staff.

Successful tests of ATV rendezvous replicate the 2007 Jules Verne mission
A milestone in the development of the Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) was passed earlier this summer at Europe's largest ship hull test facility, west of Paris. It involved tests conducted on the critical final phase of the automated rendezvous and docking system of ATV by using state-of-the-art sensors and flight control software.
"For the first time, to replicate the Jules Verne ATV rendezvous, ATV flight sensors were used successfully in life-size rendezvous conditions, feeding measurements into the flight control computer. At the same time, a simulator calculates the dynamic motion corresponding to how the vehicle behaves in space. A third system replicates physically this computation into a relative motion between the sensors, carried by an industrial robot, and their targets carried by a mobile platform. The integration of all these systems into a closed-loop test, as we call it, worked exceptionally well from start of the rendezvous – at some 250 metres – all the way to docking," said ESA ATV engineer Stein Strandmoe, who supervised this series of rendezvous test campaigns.
For the final rendezvous manoeuvres of the Jules Verne mission, scheduled for the middle of next year, the ATV will use its videometer camera-like sensors, under the supervision of an independent system, based on a laser scanning device. Safety is thus ensured with a centimetre precision while the spacecraft and the ISS are circling the Earth at 28 000 km/h. These built-in automatic capabilities of the ATV must be compatible with the demanding specifications of human spaceflight safety, required by the permanently crewed ISS.
To realistically check the flight hardware videometer capabilities – in acquisition and targeting – the tests are conducted in a research facility of the French defence agency 'Délégation Générale pour l'Armement' (DGA), located in Normandy.
Inside a 600-metre long building, a 120-tonne mobile platform controlled with millimetre precision, enables the continuous tri-dimensional approach between the two space vehicles, from a range of several hundred metres to within docking contact conditions. On the platform, a set of passive rendezvous targets (retroreflectors), identical to the ones installed on ISS, face the sensors mounted on an articulated industrial robotic arm. This platform replicates the closing motion between ATV and ISS, and the robot replicates the relative rotation and lateral motion between the two vehicles. The relative motion achieved is identical to the one expected during next year's rendezvous between Jules Verne and ISS.
During these angular movements executed by the seven-metre high robotic arm, the engineers were able to check the videometer tracking reliability towards the ISS retroreflectors. The function of the videometer is to analyse images of its emitted laser beam automatically reflected by passive retroreflectors installed next to the Station's Russian docking port where ATV will be attached. It was also possible to check that the videometer data are correctly provided to the ATV control system in order to adjust its trajectory accordingly.
"When the ATV is targeting and getting closer to the ISS, the Station has its own oscillations due to the firing of ISS attitude control jets. So the ATV must adjust constantly like two dancing partners who remain constantly in phase in their movements", said ESA astronaut Jean-François Clervoy, senior advisor to the ATV programme.
To make this rendezvous testing as realistic as possible, a 4.15 metre diameter mock-up of the aft end of the ISS Service Module is placed on the facility's moving platform. It includes the docking port, the Russian-made thermal blankets and the retro-reflective targets. The facility also can simulate the Sun using a 24kW electrical spot-light during the simulations.
For the first time, this rendezvous test campaign has made different systems work successfully together: on the one hand, the Jules Verne ATV flight software, the flight sensors and the rendezvous trajectories and on the other hand, the sophisticated motion simulation hardware and software developed by ESA with Astrium ST assistance in Val de Reuil.
"These tests are very important because it is the first time ever that we can really test the whole system for the rendezvous and docking. This is the only facility in the world which allows us to simulate the whole rendezvous, from the time Jules Verne starts coming in – using the optical sensors – right through to docking. And this system works in complete closed-loop conditions where all aspects of the spacecraft are either represented for real – software, sensors, trajectories – or simulated such as Jules Verne inertia, thrusters firing etc...", said John Ellwood, ESA's ATV Project Manager.
Jules Verne, the first flight model of a series of ATVs foreseen to service the International Space Station (ISS), is currently at the ESA facility in the Netherlands is undergoing final integration.

Many applications make use of multiple datastores. It is a common requirement to be able to replicate parts of one datastore in another datastore. Obviously, depending on the datastore, you could make use of the datastores own capabilities for replication. DataNucleus provides its own extension to JPA to allow replication from one datastore to another. This extension doesn't restrict you to using 2 datastores of the same type. You could replicate from RDBMS to XML for example, or from MySQL to HSQLDB.
The following sample code will replicate all objects of type Product and Employee from EMF1 to EMF2. These EMFs are created in the normal way so, as mentioned above, EMF1 could be for a MySQL datastore, and EMF2 for XML. By default this will replicate the complete object graphs reachable from these specified types.
import org.datanucleus.api.jpa.JPAReplicationManager; ... JPAReplicationManager replicator = new JPAReplicationManager(emf1, emf2); replicator.replicate(new Class[]{Product.class, Employee.class});

On the morning of December 21st 2010 County Meath's Newgrange became a site of historic importance in celestial terms when a lunar eclipse and the winter equinox coincided. Not since the Tudor's times, 450 years ago, has such an event occurred.
Unfortunately the cloud on the morning stopped the winter sunlight from flooding the chamber at the passage tomb. It was thought that the passage would fill with both sun and moon-light on the morning of the winter solstice. However, the magic of the event was not lost on the thousands who gazed skyward to witness the lunar eclipse.

Millions of people across the world gazed skyward to catch a glimpse of the first lunar eclipse for almost three years. The eclipse became at about 7.40am and the mid-eclipse began at 8.17am. In some locations in Northern Ireland a total eclipse was visible.
According to the Irish Astronomical Association the next lunar eclipse in Ireland will not take place until 2015.
At Newgrange, since 2000, the tickets to attend the winter solstice have been distributed by a free lottery system. Last year 25,000 people applied. Only 10 people received tickets and each could bring a guest. Those lucky enough to attend last year included people from Ireland, the U.S, Britain, Sweden, and the Czech Republic. Find out how to enter the draw here.
Although last year the clouds prevented the dramatic sunlight filled passage at Newgrange, those lucky few who have witnessed it know how magical it is and never forget the amazing vision.
Newgrange is a prehistoric passage tomb covered by a grassy mound. It was build 5,200 years ago making it about 200 years older than the Pyramids in Egypt. Although it's difficult to estimate how long it would have taken to build the monument it did tell experts a great deal about the people at the time.

Professor George Eogan told the BBC "They were a very sophisticated society with a sound economic base as they were able to divert a large number of people to the building of passage tombs...The ritual of the dead was very important in their lives and the site combines engineering, architectural and artistic skills."
The magic of winter solstice is created by the fact that its builders aligned it with the rising sun. At 8.58 on the shortest day of the year the inner-chamber of the tomb is flooded with light which enters through a "roof box" which is just 9.9 inches high.
This wonderful phenomenon was discovered by archaeologist, Professor Michael J O'Kelly in 1967.

His daughter Helen Watanabe O'Kelly told the BBC "He found the roof box when uncovering the roof chamber but wondered about its purpose…My mother, who worked closely with him, suggested that it might be connected with the winter solstice. And that was how he discovered it in 1967."
The next year Mr O'Kelly brought his daughter along. She described her experience "There were just the two of us. It was cold and dark - no razzmatazz, like you have now. I still remember sitting in the cold and we just waited.
"Suddenly this shaft of light came into the chamber and hit the back wall. I remember being quietly moved - it was like someone was speaking to you from thousands of years before. I still see it like a picture before my inner eye - it was a golden light."
Since Mr O'Kelly's discovery Newgrange has become a major tourist attraction. In 1993 it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Professor Michael Trebilcock's scholarship has long recognized the importance of ideas, interests and institutions in shaping policy. Michael Trebilcock and Ninette Kelley make economic interests, contested ideas, and institutions the focus of The Making of the Mosaic: A History of Canadian Immigration Policy. Taking the same analytical approach that Michael Trebilcock and Ninette Kelley use in their ground-breaking book on the history of Canadian immigration, the paper examines the Canadian historical experience to gain an understanding of the ideas, interests, and institutions that have been influential in shaping the evolution of Canadian bankruptcy law. The paper addresses the rise of Canadian bankruptcy legislation in the early post Confederation period and its ultimate repeal in 1880. Bankruptcy law represented both a conflict of ideas over the morality of the bankruptcy discharge and a distinct divergence of interests between local and distant creditors over the advantages and disadvantages of a pro rata distribution. Institutional factors such as federalism, courts, and the emerging regulatory state also had an independent effect.

Telfer on the History of Canadian Bankruptcy Law, 1867-1880
Ideas, Interests, Institutions and the History of Canadian Bankruptcy Law 1867-1880 has just been posted by Thomas G.W. Telfer, University of Western Ontario. It is forthcoming in the University of Toronto Law Journal (2010). Here's the abstract:

I read an earlier draft of this paper and recommend it highly. Telfer provides an excellent case study in the law and politics of institutional choice. His research in the manuscript records of county courts, boards of trade, the Department of Justice, newspapers, and other sources, gives readers a vivid sense of who won and who lost in the choice of common-law and statutory regimes for governing a vital field of economic public policy.

Gran Turismo is celebrating an incredible 15th anniversary. Gran Turismo 6 will be in our PlayStations soon enough. And the GT Academy has transformed many gamers into pro racers. We hear about these things all the time, but we don't often hear that much about the man behind the games: Kazunori Yamauchi.
That's because Yamauchi, as GTPlanet founder Jordan Greer says, Yamauchi is something of a "ghost." Now the details of his life and career in gaming and racing are coming to light in a new documentary called KAZ: Pushing the Virtual Divide. It's about Yamauchi's career as both a game developer and a racing driver, and as a figure who has changed the global automotive industry.
If you went to the Jalopnik Film Festival, you probably saw this trailer there when Yamauchi served on one of our panels. Though there's no premiere date listed, we can probably expect the Tamir Moscovici-directed film to debut later this year.
I can't wait to see it and learn more about the man behind the legend.

What is Medical Malpractice?
Medical Malpractice claims can arise from all different situations. They don't always directly involve the doctor. Any number of people can be responsible for medical malpractice cases – the nurse, the intern, the physicians assistant, or anyone from the hospital staff. Have you or a love one ever experienced malpractice such as:
- Failure to diagnose an illness
- Anesthesia errors
- Failure to prevent infection
- Leaving a medical device implanted after surgery
- Surgery without informed consent
- Certain birth injuries and cerebral palsy
- Late diagnosis resulting in a diminished chance of survival
- Misdiagnosis of a condition
During the course of medical treatment, physicians are trusted to make correct decisions, and often these split second decisions are the difference between successful treatment and devastating injuries. When a medical provider fails to give their full time and attention to the person they are treating, and the patient suffers a devastating injury, the responsibility for those injuries should not fall on the patient and their family.
In addition to medical mistakes made by the main treating doctor, catastrophic injuries could also be caused by the anesthesia errors, surgical mistakes, medication prescription errors or hospital misconduct.
Thousands of preventable mistakes occur each year. Determining whether a medical treatment error could have been prevented requires experienced Virginia medical malpractice attorneys and experts to review the circumstances surrounding the treatment. While every medical mistake does not result in a medical malpractice lawsuit, you can obtain a free consultation and legal medical malpractice claim evaluation to determine if you or your family may be entitled to financial compensation and settlement benefits.
What should you do now?
All of these situations are serious and you deserve the assistance of an experienced Virginia Medical Malpractice Attorney. The Joel Bieber Firm has successfully represented victims of Medical Malpractice.

This week Gov. Jerry Brown gave a thoughtful, smart -- and decidedly strange press conference -- that resembled the sort of event that governors put on when they've made a deal to pass legislation, even though no such deal had been made.
Brown's press conference announced that he had Democratic and Republican support for a bill changing corporate taxation -- but only in the Assembly.
Senate Republicans still oppose it, though Brown was hoping to show momentum that would change that.
U.S. & World
"We celebrate small victories," Brown said when asked why he was bothering with a press conference.
The policy he's pursuing -- eliminating the choice corporations had in how they calculate their corporate taxes -- makes sense, according to the non-partisan Legislative Analyst's Office.
By having one corporate tax formula, the theory is that California-based companies will have more incentives to grow here.
Out-of-state companies will pay more in California taxes, and the Brown-backed legislation will turn that money into incentives for hiring and manufacturing in the state.
But the jobs impact of this policy is minimal -- even though this corporate tax change is being sold as a jobs bill.
Asked point-blank how changing this formula would create jobs, Brown answered that it would prevent the destruction of jobs in California -- a worthy goal, but not the same thing.
Brown then explained -- honestly but frustratingly -- that it was difficult to do much given the relatively small amount of money being talked about.
The higher corporate tax -- and the resulting credits -- will be just $1 billion, in a California economy that approaches $2 trillion. Brown said that true stimulus would have to come from the federal government.
The state's perpetually out-of-balance budget makes even "small victories" like this one difficult.
Revenues on the current year budget are running behind projections. This legislation, which produces more revenue on one hand but then gives it away in another for hiring credits, doesn't help.
It seems that small victories are the best California will be able to do -- until it fixes its budget and governing system in ways that make bigger policy changes possible.
