The amounts devoted to the information society vary from EUR 0.6 per inhabitant in Lower Saxony (Germany) to EUR 358 in the Border, Midlands and West region (Ireland).
About half of the regions surveyed give priority to the information society as a dimension that is taken into account across the entire programme.
Amongst the top 20 regions, ranked according to information society expenditure per capita, six are Greek, four UK and two Spanish. Seven are island regions or regions with a mainly insular character.
The study recommends that regions should invest more in strategy development and building regional capacity, especially in the assessment of regional needs and project selection.
It also suggests that regional information society priorities should be more driven by regional demand and supply-side measures, offering a balance in terms of the development of telecommunications infrastructure such as broadband networks, access, applications and services, digital content and skills.
In the less favoured regions, this environment is often characterised by a combination of structural weaknesses, such as the lack of a dynamic business services sector, a poorly developed financial system, weak links between the public and private sectors, sectoral specialisation in traditional industries with little propensity to innovate, low levels of public support for innovation and aid schemes which are poorly adapted to the needs of local SMEs.
In view of this, a primary aim of regional policy should be to help develop new forms of organisation and institutional cooperation, and so improve the 'structural' competitiveness of firms located in these regions, and to encourage resources to be shifted into more dynamic and innovative areas of economic activity.

Eay Chapman, Cleveland shortstop,
might come to the White Sox in ex

Cleveland executives are , here in
Jim Scott is the pitcher named in
the deal and the infielder on the Sox
end will be-either Terry or McMul

a hot contender all the way. With
Chapman at -short and Weaver at

Ban Jhhnson, head of the Ameri

To get either Stallings dr Mitchell
Weeghman must give up money and

WHO makes legal and policy recommendations for eHealth
April 2016, eHealth Law & Policy
Philippe Bradley-Schmieg is quoted in this eHealth & Policy Law article regarding WHO's report on key eHealth trends and progress across Europe. According to Bradley-Schmieg, "The call for 'detailed' EHR [electronic health record] laws is questionable. German and French EHR laws have simply added to already tough and complicated legal environments, with unimpressive results over the past decade. Countries like Poland and Belgium have instead focused on removing blockers in existing laws. For example, in 2014 Belgium changed a law to say that patient records have to be maintained 'by' a hospital, not 'in' a hospital, unlocking the use of key eHealth technologies."

"I didn't think he'd do it. I really didn't think he would. I thought he'd say, whoa, hold on, wait a minute. We made a deal, remember, the land, the blessing, the nation, the descendants as numerous as the sands on the shore and the stars in the sky."
So begins James Goodman's original and urgent encounter with one of the most compelling and resonant stories ever told—God's command to Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac.
A mere nineteen lines in the book of Genesis, it rests at the heart of the history, literature, theology, and sacred rituals of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. For more than two millennia, people throughout the world have grappled with the troubling questions about sacrifice, authority, obedience, and faith to which the story gives rise. Writing from the vantage of "a reader, a son, a Jew, a father, a skeptic, a historian, a lover of stories, and a writer," Goodman gives us an enthralling narrative history that moves from its biblical origins to its place in the cultures and faiths of our time. He introduces us to the commentary of Second Temple sages, rabbis and priests of the late antiquity, and early Islamic exegetes (some of whom imagined that Ishmael was the nearly sacrificed son). He examines Syriac hymns (in which Sarah stars), Hebrew chronicles of the First Crusade (in which Isaac often dies), and medieval English mystery plays. He looks at the art of Europe's golden age, the philosophy of Kant and Kierkegaard, and the panoply of twentieth-century interpretation, sacred and profane, including the work of Bob Dylan, Elie Wiesel, and A. B. Yehoshua. In illuminating how so many others have understood this story, Goodman tells a gripping and provocative story of his own.

z/OS®.e V1.7 is a specially priced offering of z/OS that provides select functions at an attractive price. It is designed to help you exploit the fast-growing world of next-generation business applications by making the deployment of new application workloads on the IBM zSeries® 800 (z800) and zSeries 890 (z890) servers competitively priced.
This offering brings new levels of affordability to enterprise and Web-based applications while capitalizing on the capabilities of zSeries technology.
z/OS.e V1.7 uses the same code base (customized with different system parameters) as z/OS V1.7. It invokes an operating environment that is comparable with z/OS in qualities of service, management, and reporting. Also, z/OS.e invokes the same z800 and z890 hardware function that you would get with full-function z/OS.
z/OS.e V1.7 provides advances in business resiliency and security with extensions to GDPS for system recovery and improvements in RACF® interoperability. You might see a reduction in your need for IPLs with dynamic service activation for z/OS UNIX® System Services.
To help customers build and extend their z/OS.e applications, z/OS.e delivers XL C/C++ with the C compiler designed to support the latest ISO C1999 standard, also known as C99, and adds support for Transport Layer Security (TLS) that is designed to be application-transparent. As of z/OS.e V1.7, the z/OS.e C/C++ compiler has been renamed to z/OS.e XL C/C++.
To help simplify systems management, IBM Health Checker for z/OS is now a base component of z/OS.e, providing an integrated tool for checking on best practices for configuration values. The management capabilities are more robust, additional checks are available, and SDSF support helps simplify the management of the checks. The dynamic capabilities of z/OS.e are also extended with the new TCP/IP Sysplex Load Balancing Advisor for better interaction with network-based load balancers and integration between Sysplex Distributor and Workload Manager. In addition, z/OS.e V1.7 is planned to provide support for simplified network management with JES2 NJE support for TCP/IP in first quarter 2006.
IBM intends to deliver a software-based file encryption solution for z/OS.e that leverages the
existing z/OS.e key management capabilities provided within the Integrated Cryptographic Services
Facility (ICSF) in 2005. More information will be provided at a later date.

|Statement of direction
IBM plans to take the following actions effective in 2005:
- IBM intends to provide a new user interface for z/OS.e management that is planned to help the new generation of Information Technology workers by automating, eliminating, and simplifying many z/OS management tasks. The first phase of the new user interface (planned to be provided in a separate product) is planned to provide real-time health check information executed by the IBM Health Checker for z/OS and configuration status information for z/OS.e systems and sysplex resources. The new interface contains built-in automation and expert advice capabilities that provide detailed contextual information on alerts and corrective actions. This new interface is planned to be available in fourth quarter 2005.
IBM plans to take the following actions in the future:
- IBM plans to introduce a new system component called z/OS XML System Services (z/OS XML) in a future release of z/OS.e. This component will be designed to provide an optimized set of services for parsing XML documents. The XML parser is expected to be of use to IBM, ISV, and customer middleware and applications having high performance or unique environmental XML parsing requirements, such as the ability to run in cross-memory and service request block (SRB) modes. Initial support is planned to provide an assembler language interface; later, IBM plans to add C/C++ high level language support.
IBM intends to provide a VSAM Java database connectivity (JDBC) Connector in the future, not in
2005 as previously stated in Software Announcement
, dated August 10, 2004. A JDBC Connector implements a Java application programming
interface that is designed to allow you to write Java-based applications that read and write VSAM
data without having to do VSAM programming or use copies of existing data.
These applications are expected to be able to access VSAM data, at the same time as other applications, when deployed in WebSphere, DB2, and z/OS UNIX Systems Services environments. When used with the optional DFSMStvs (Transactional VSAM Services) feature, the VSAM JDBC Connector is intended to allow WebSphere applications to participate in coordinated commit processing.
A new function in SMP/E, Internet Service Retrieval, is intended to simplify the acquisition of
z/OS.e service. This function, which supplements existing service options in ShopzSeries, is
planned to be available in September 2005. For more information about this new function, refer
to the description of the SMP/E Internet Service Retrieval function in the
SMP/E enhancements
Internet Service Retrieval and ShopzSeries now offer extensive options for service acquisition and delivery. To reduce the number of ordering interfaces and help assure timely delivery of new function, some older options for service delivery are being simplified or discontinued:
- Effective January 15, 2006, as previously announced in Software Announcement 205-034 , dated February 15, 2005, the S/390® Service Update Facility (SUF) will be discontinued.
- Effective March 2006, new ESO and CBPDO (5751-CS8 and 5775-MVS) physical delivery subscriptions will not be accepted.
- Effective June 2006, CBPDO product orders will include service only for the products included in the order. Formerly, CBPDO product orders included service for other products licensed under the same customer number within the same SREL. To get service for other products, you can use SMP/E Internet Service Retrieval, ShopzSeries, or a fee service offering.
- Effective June 2006, Service-Only CBPDO (5751-CS3) orders will no longer be accepted. An improved option for ordering service by SREL, or for all licensed products under the same customer number, will continue to be supported in ShopzSeries. You can also get service based on what you have installed using SMP/E Internet Service Retrieval, ShopzSeries, or selected fee offerings. Note that CBPDO product orders are not affected by this change.
- Effective September 2006, existing ESO and CBPDO physical delivery subscriptions will be discontinued. You can use a job scheduling system and SMP/E Internet Service Retrieval to get service at any interval you find convenient, or use the Internet delivery subscription option available in ShopzSeries.
IBM recommends that you begin to use SMP/E Internet Service Retrieval, ShopzSeries, or one of these worldwide fee offerings before the above changes take effect:
- US SoftwareXcel, Resolve
- Europe, Middle East, Africa Enhanced Technical Support
- Canada SupportLine
- Latin America SupportLine
- Asia Pacific/South SupportLine
For more information, visit the ShopzSeries Web site at
- On February 15, 2005, IBM announced IBM Communication Controller for Linux on zSeries V1.1. This product is intended to provide a migration path for customers using SNA applications to communicate with business partners. In the next release of Communication Controller for Linux on zSeries, IBM intends to provide enhancements in network connectivity such as channel data link control (CDLC) using OSA-Express2 OSN (OSA for NCP), data-link switching (DLSw), and an open interface for X.25 (NPSI). For more information on this product, visit
Support for the following plug-ins for msys for Setup will be withdrawn
in the release following z/OS.e V1.7: TCP/IP Services, z/OS UNIX System
Services, Language Environment , Parallel Sysplex®, ISPF, and RMF.
When this support is withdrawn, you will not be able to use msys for
Setup for function enablement, setup, or configuration of these areas of
The DB2 V8 msys for Setup plug-in is unaffected and remains available for enablement, setup, and configuration of DB2. The TCP/IP plug-in will continue to be available for download via the Web and will no longer require msys for Setup. IBM intends to continue to deliver improvements to help with z/OS.e setup and configuration in the future.
- z/OS.e V1.7 is planned to be the last release to support the z/OS.e msys for Operations element. It is IBM's intent to remove the z/OS.e msys for Operations element from the release following z/OS.e V1.7. IBM plans to transition many of the current msys for Operations functions to a new user interface and infrastructure in a future release of z/OS.e.

|Technical information
Hardware requirements
z/OS.e V1.7 runs exclusively on the zSeries z800 and zSeries z890 family of servers or comparable non-IBM servers.
Note: The z800 and z890 servers do not support parallel channels, but do provide an option for you to purchase a parallel channel converter box.
The zSeries 800 and zSeries 890 servers are for customers who require a cost-competitive server that can process multiple workloads, running concurrently under any of the following operating systems:
- Linux on zSeries servers
- z/VSE
- z/VM®
- z/OS
- z/OS.e
The zSeries 800 and zSeries 890 servers provide Parallel Sysplex® support. They also support HiperSockets and offer other improved I/O capabilities and capacity compared to older servers.
For additional information, refer to Hardware Announcement 102-052 , dated February 19, 2002, and Hardware Announcement 104-117 , dated April 7, 2004.
Software requirements
The z/OS.e base is an IPL-able system. Specific functions may require additional products not included in z/OS.e base, or in the optional features of z/OS.e. Refer to z/OS and z/OS.e Planning for Installation (GA22-7504) for a listing of specific software requirements. It is available on the Web
z/OS.e must be IPLed in an LPAR or as a guest under z/VM running in an LPAR. If one guest is z/OS.e, then other guests can be z/OS.e or Linux. The z/OS.e LPARs must add up to the number of MSUs, that is, the number of engines licensed for, z/OS.e.
Customers need to predefine the LPAR name the z/OS.e system is to run in, to "ZOSExxxx." Also, at IPL time you must either enter "LICENSE=Z/OSE" as part of the system parameter or specify LICENSE=Z/OSE in your IEASYSxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB. A z/OS.e system will be delivered with the IEASYS00 member containing the LICENSE=Z/OSE specification.
Coexistence, release migrations, and fallback
z/OS and z/OS.e give you compatibility and flexibility as you migrate systems in a multisystem configuration by allowing several releases of z/OS and z/OS.e to coexist. This includes non-Parallel Sysplex and Parallel Sysplex multisystem configurations.
Coexistence allows systems within a multisystem configuration to be upgraded to a new release level of z/OS or z/OS.e one system at a time. This is contingent on the fact that the release you are migrating to can coexist with the lowest release running in your multisystem configuration.
z/OS is coexistence-supported with its equivalent z/OS.e release, and with the z/OS.e releases equivalent to any coexistence-supported z/OS release. As such, z/OS.e supports the same migration policy as z/OS.
As was started with z/OS and z/OS.e V1.6, the first release of the new annual release cycle, the Coexistence, Migration, Fallback policy aligns with the Service policy. IBM intends to continue with the practice of providing service support for each release of z/OS or z/OS.e for three years following its general availability date. IBM, at its sole discretion, may choose to leave a release supported for more than three years.
In some cases, more than three releases may be coexistence, migration, and fallback supported, if IBM at its sole discretion chooses to provide service support for greater than three years for a release. However, any z/OS or z/OS.e release having three or fewer months of service remaining at the time of GA of a new release will not be coexistence, migration, and fallback supported.
Note: These statements represent current intention of IBM. IBM reserves the right to change or alter the Coexistence-Migration- Fallback policy in the future or to exclude certain releases beyond those stated. IBM development plans are subject to change or withdrawal without further notice. Any reliance on this statement of direction is at the relying party's sole risk and does not create any liability or obligation for IBM.
Migration forward as well as fallback should be made within the same z/OS or z/OS.e releases supported by the coexistence policy.
The following table shows the releases that are coexistence-supported with z/OS V1.7 and z/OS.e:
Coexistence-supported releases

- OS/390 V2.10 end of service was September 2004.
- z/OS V1.1 end of service was March 2004.
- z/OS V1.2 end of service was October 2004.
- z/OS V1.3 end of service was March 2005.
- Operating system levels beyond z/OS and z/OS.e V1.7 represent current intentions of IBM.
This consistent coexistence, migration, and fallback policy applies to release migrations for all configurations, whether they are:
- Single system configurations
- Individual systems within a multisystem configuration
- Cases where a simultaneous IPL is used to migrate all systems in a multisystem configuration at the same time
Since each release of z/OS.e can normally be ordered only until the next release of z/OS.e becomes orderable, it is very important that you order the required z/OS.e release you need for migration and coexistence while still available.
For additional information on z/OS.e coexistence and release migration information, refer to z/OS and z/OS.e Planning for Installation (GA22-7504) at
For migrations inside the IBM migration and coexistence policy, IBM Global Services (IGS) has fee-based offerings that provide a PTF on demand service for toleration and coexistence maintenance based upon a customer's SMP/E Consolidated Software Inventory (CSI). With these offerings, you specify the release of z/OS, z/OS.e, or other products, or hardware (for example, 2066) to which you are migrating, and all configured toleration/coexistence maintenance for your current system (as specified by your CSI) will be delivered to you as a customized package in electronic or physical format. This is provided through the S/390® SoftwareXcel offering, via the Service Request and Delivery (SRD) function.
IGS also provides hands-on fee-based services to assess whether a migration outside the migration and coexistence policy might be possible. For more information on the migration services that IGS provides for both inside and outside the migration and coexistence policy, contact your local IBM sales specialist.
JES Coexistence, release migrations, and fallback
Fallback for z/OS.e is at a system level, rather than an element or feature level. Since you migrate to JES2 or JES3 at the same time you migrate to z/OS.e, you cannot back out JES2 or JES3 separately; you can only back out the entire z/OS or z/OS.e product.
Although you must run the level of JES that comes with z/OS or z/OS.e, that JES can communicate with certain lower levels of JES running on other z/OS and z/OS.e systems in the same multi-access spool cluster (MAS) or multisystem complex.
For additional information on z/OS and z/OS.e JES release migration and coexistence, refer to z/OS and z/OS.e Planning for Installation (GA22-7504) by visiting
Performance considerations
Performance of z/OS.e V1.7 is expected to be equivalent to the performance of z/OS V1.7 running on equivalent hardware. Information on z/OS V1.7 performance will be available at general availability. You should consult your marketing representative at or after general availability.
Planning information
Customer responsibilities: For details, refer to z/OS and z/OS.e V1.7 Planning for Installation (GA22-7504) at
Installation and customization
ServerPac enhancements: Concurrent with z/OS V1.7 general availability, ServerPac will provide support for:
- Merging z/OS UNIX® file systems: This support can allow you to merge z/OS UNIX file systems in zFS and HFS data sets in a way similar to the support for PDS and PDSE data sets, when the merge would result in a usable mount point. This can help you simplify file system configurations and parmlib management for file systems.
- IBM Health Checker for z/OS: Once the ServerPac installation steps have been completed, IBM Health Checker for z/OS will be enabled, reducing the setup required for use. This can help you use its new functions more quickly to identify potential problems in your installation.
- The Customized Offerings Driver (5655-M12) has been updated to support the installation of z/OS V1.7, with SMP/E V3.4 and the additional driving system PTFs required to install z/OS V1.7. The Customized Offerings Driver is available on tape media for 3380-3 and 3390-3 DASD. 4mm media support is planned to be withdrawn effective September 15, 2005.
SystemPac® enhancements: Concurrent with z/OS V1.7 general availability, SystemPac will provide support for:
- Merging z/OS UNIX file systems: This support can allow you to merge z/OS UNIX file systems in zFS and HFS data sets in a way similar to the support for PDS and PDSE data sets, when the merge would result in a usable mount point. This can help you simplify file system configurations and parmlib management for file systems.
- IBM Health Checker for z/OS: Once the SystemPac installation steps have been completed, IBM Health Checker for z/OS will be enabled, reducing the setup required for use. This can help you use its new functions more quickly to identify potential problems in your installation.
SMP/E enhancements: z/OS.e V1.7 SMP/E includes the same functions as SMP/E V3.4 (5655-G44). SMP/E V3.4 has been enhanced to provide Internet Service Retrieval. This capability allows you to automate ordering and delivery of PTFs and HOLDDATA. The PTFs and HOLDDATA can be processed in the same job step. This can help eliminate manual tasks currently required for ordering and delivery of IBM PTFs using current methods.
Because it is not necessary to place an order when using Internet Service Retrieval, you might wish to use a batch scheduling system (such as IBM Tivoli® Workload Scheduler for z/OS) to retrieve service and Enhanced HOLDDATA on a regular basis to keep both service and service information as current as your installation requires.
SMP/E V3.4 has been enhanced to use an alternative method to calculate SHA-1 hash values if Integrated Cryptographic Service Facility (ICSF) is not available for use. Although ICSF is the preferred method, SMP/E no longer requires it. If SMP/E detects that ICSF is not available, SMP/E will automatically use an SMP/E Java application class to calculate SHA-1 hash values as an alternative. Refer to SMP/E User's Guide (SA22-7773) for the required setup.
ShopzSeries: As of January 10, 2005, ShopzSeries supports Internet delivery for ServerPac orders. For details about all the Internet delivery options available in ShopzSeries, refer to
ShopzSeries is available in the United States and many other countries.
The publication z/OS Migration has been enhanced to provide documentation for all supported migration paths to z/OS.e V1.7. These are: V1.6 to V1.7, V1.5 to V1.7, and V1.4 to V1.7.
Withdrawal of 4mm media support: Effective September 15, 2005, 4mm is no longer a supported media for the Customized Offerings:
- ServerPac (5751-CS9)
- RefreshPac (5751-CS7)
- ProductPac® (5751-CS5)
- SystemPac (5751-CS4)
- Subscription CBPDO (5751-CS8)
- Customized Offering Driver (5655-M12)
Direct customer support: Direct customer support is provided by IBM Operational Support Services SoftwareXcel Enterprise Edition or SoftwareXcel Basic. These fee services can help enhance your productivity by providing voice and electronic access into the IBM support organization. IBM Operational Support Services SoftwareXcel Enterprise Edition or SoftwareXcel Basic Edition will help answer questions pertaining to usage, how to and suspected software defects for eligible products.
Installation and technical support is provided by IBM Global Services. For more information on services, call 1-888-IBM-4343 (426-4343).
Fee-based software services offerings
Withdrawal and end-of-support information is now available in CustomPac: CustomPac offerings, ProductPac and RefreshPac, now include a product currency report and a migration assistance report. ProductPac is a software package that includes an individual product or small number of products built based on your SMP/E profile. RefreshPac is a software preventive service package based on your installed inventory. The product currency report shows whether the products that are installed on your system, based on your submitted Consolidated Software Inventory (CSI), are current or at the latest level available. You will also get a list of the software products on your system that have reached end-of-service or have been withdrawn from market and their replacements.
ProductPac multi-zone support: The ProductPac offering in CustomPac has been enhanced so that you can now include products from multiple zones and have the benefit of:
- Getting a full service upgrade on your whole environment, based upon selected zones.
- Ordering subsequent packages, including Selective Follow-on Services (SFS), RefreshPac on Profile (ROP), and OMIS (Online Maintenance Information System, using the profile created for your ProductPac.

System integrity
IBM will accept APARs where the installation of z/OS.e introduces an exposure to system integrity.
Program services
Central service for suspected defects in z/OS.e code is provided by the IBM Support Center within your geography. On-site (local) support, although available in many geographies, is provided as part of the IBM portfolio of fee-based services.
Service policy
IBM plans to provide service support for each release of z/OS.e for three years following its general availability date. IBM, at its discretion, may choose to leave a release supported for more than three years.
At least 12 months' written notice will be given for z/OS.e before the withdrawal of service for a version or release.
z/OS.e no longer supports service for client operating systems whose service is withdrawn by the operating system manufacturer. As an example of the actual implementation of this policy, we will no longer support service for clients running Microsoft Windows 95.
Coexistence and migration rules apply and should be taken into account in planning future migrations. Refer to the Coexistence, release migrations, and fallback section for additional information.
Security, auditability, and control
Data security and auditability in the z/OS.e environment are enhanced by the functions available in the optional Security Server for z/OS.e feature. The customer is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and appropriate controls in application systems and communication facilities.
Integrated Cryptographic Service Facility (ICSF)
provides application programs with callable service interfaces to support the encryption and
decryption of data using the cryptographic hardware in the zSeries servers. ICSF adds support for
callers running in 64-bit addressing mode. ICSF support for AMODE(64) callers was also available in
the ICSF 64-bit Virtual Support for z/OS and z/OS.e V1R6 Web deliverable, which is being replaced by
the Cryptographic Support for z/OS V1R6/R7 and z/OS.e V1R6/1R7 Web deliverable in
September 2005. This support is planned to be included in z/OS.e V1.7. A limited set of
callable services for AMODE(64) callers will be supported on z990, z900, z800, and z890 processors.
They are intended to support System SSL, WebSphere®, and Java. The customer is responsible for
evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and
appropriate controls in application systems and communication facilities.

The reasoning is simple, it is never used as intended or stated.

Those in the emergency shelter eat the same breakfast week in and week out. It is one of two main things, a single bowl of cereal or two biscuits and gravy. Each and everyday.

Let's not get confused, the salvation army gets big grant money from the federal, state and local governments to operate this shelter and provide decent meals.

Children are expected to start their day with just a bowl of cereal.

How does this type of nourishment keep up their immune systems and fight off viruses and such?

The staff their are all so very rude, treat the so called "Clients" as second class citizens and no sense of care or compassion.

Defenitely not the christian way of doing things as they claim.

As for the professional staff or case managers, most of them were found and recruited by the salvation army while they were homeless and staying there. They have no Social Services training or experience and quickly forget their experience while staying there, thus the mis treatment by them towards those currently staying there.

They aslso receive federal grants and government funds for those in their "Supportive Housing program and these people eat Eggs, bacon, sausage, milk, soda, hamburgers, hot dogs, corn dogs, pork chops and meals with plenty of protein and nourishment to stem off viruses and keep their immune system strong.

The fact is prison inmates eat better than those staying at the salvation army.

Trying to get in touch with anyone or try to get anything accomplished takes forever and no there cares about a resolution much less a quick one.

Before donating anything I suggest calling them and asking questions as if from a homeless standpoint and maybe visit there around 4:30pm and talk to some of those freezing outside about the food and the employees.

This salvation army needs to be completely restructured from the top down. The employees are a direct reflection of their leadership and man is it bad.

I have been monitoring this issue there for a couple years now and soon will be starting a public awareness campaigne, press releases and informational pickets.

I will also be posting online the information obtained regarding donations and govt grant info as well as expenditures for 2011.

The proof is in the numbers.

"By 2 who have cut through the fog to see God clearly even when it hurts, we are led to know his love, tears, and ultimately, his joy." (Dr. Joseph Stowell)
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"All Should Read!"
Very helpful. I recommend all Christians read or listen to this book. I have not read any other book other than the Bible that is more helpful to prepare ones self for life's ups and downs. It is a shortened "abridged" version compared to the book version of the same.
"What if Jesus doesn't heal you???"
Gnarly book about what happens when Jesus wants you to not get better.
Ask and you shall receive???
Asks a lot of tough questions about why God inflicts suffering on the world and church instead of healing us like when he walked the earth.
I guess we'll figure it out at the second coming.
I've listened to this book now at work about 5 times.
Excellent work.
Thought provoking.
Touched my heart. Joni notices God's glory in the darkest of places. She is a wonderful reader as well, bringing her own words to life. A joy to listen to.
"Does not match the physical book"
Please be aware that this audio does not match the book. Great book but I was hoping to hear it read straight from the physical book.
I love Joni, but I highly disagree with her message in this one. my rating is not so much for the book but the message it contains.
Joni reads well but it did take me a little while to get her style even though I've listened to her many times before.

Product Description

Born in Australia, Shirley Hazzard first moved to Naples as a young woman in the 1950s to take up a job with the United Nations. It was the beginning of a long love affair with the city. The Ancient Shore collects the best of Hazzard's writings on Naples, along with a classic New Yorker essay by her late husband, Francis Steegmuller. For the pair, both insatiable readers, the Naples of Pliny, Gibbon, and Auden is constantly alive to them in the present.

With Hazzard as our guide, we encounter Henry James, Oscar Wilde, and of course Goethe, but Hazzard's concern is primarily with the Naples of our own time—often violently unforgiving to innocent tourists, but able to transport the visitor who attends patiently to its rhythms and history. A town shadowed by both the symbol and the reality of Vesuvius can never fail to acknowledge the essential precariousness of life—nor, as the lover of Naples discovers, the human compassion, generosity, and friendship that are necessary to sustain it.

Beautifully illustrated by photographs from such masters as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Herbert List, The Ancient Shore is a lyrical letter to a lifelong love: honest and clear-eyed, yet still fervently, endlessly enchanted.

"Much larger than all its parts, this book does full justice to a place, and a time, where 'nothing was pristine, except the light.'"—Bookforum

"Deep in the spell of Italy, Hazzard parses the difference between visiting and living and working in a foreign country. She writes with enormous eloquence and passion of the beauty of getting lost in a place."—Susan Slater Reynolds, Los Angeles Times

"The two voices join in exquisite harmony. . . . A lovely book."—Booklist, starred review

Wizards fend off Rockets threes for 105-103 winPosted by Inside Hoops
Feb 24
The Rockets dominated early with an impressive 3-point shooting display and finished with more attempts than any NBA team this season. The Wizards countered by going big and going inside and it paid off when the former league laughingstock took down another winning team.
Bradley Beal scored 21 points and Emeka Okafor had 17 points, 11 rebounds and made the go-ahead free throw with 5.2 seconds remaining to help the Washington defeat Houston 105-103 on Saturday night.
Trevor Ariza added 18 points and John Wall had 12 points and 11 assists for the Wizards, who came back from a 17-point deficit for their second straight win. Washington, winner of 10 of its last 12 home games, scored 54 points in the paint to offset the 57 points Houston scored on 19 3-pointers.
James Harden scored 27 points and Chandler Parsons had 24 with five 3-pointers for the Rockets, who had won their first two games after the All-Star break. Houston attempted 46 3-pointers, the most in the NBA this season and three shy of the league record. The Rockets made 13 from beyond the arc in the first half, one off the NBA record they tied against Golden State on Feb. 5.
"We just wanted to make it tough, make them make contested shots," Wall said. "In the first half they weren't missing. Second half we kind of got into more defensively, changed some of our game plans up and just executed on the other half."
– Reported by Benjamin Standig of the Associated Press

Well, depends whether we're talking what actually happens, or what could happen... :)
Documentation can be a means of quality insurance, and this power is far too seldom used, not only in Open Source development. The people who write the best code I know write documentation alongside or even before coding: The code has to follow documentation, otherwise it's a bug :), at least documentation and code are never allowed to get out of sync. Which means documentation _is_ development, not just something subordinate.
Well, that makes coding subordinate to documentation (if it really does "follow" the documentation), which is no fun. Why, it might even comply with some ISO standards or similar and we can't have *that*... :)
In a scenario like this documentation and usability are not just nice-to-have but an inherent part of development and equally important as writing code, and it finally leads you to better software, to software that is aware of its users and tasks and not just aware of how things are easiest, smartest to implement. But it requires a paradigm shift: Coders are no longer allowed to see documentation as a nasty add on, as something subordinate and documentation people don't simply have to follow the software they get but allowed and required to intervene.
So, I don't care for all the "no longer allowed" or "required to intervene" stuff; but having people helping design programs so it's easy to document and understand seems like an interesting idea -- but I wonder how, or even if, that'd actually work... Do you even get dedicated documenters sticking around a project unless you're something pretty large like Gnome? And if so, how do you get a documenter/whatever that actually sticks with a bit of software?

Alcoa posts $119M 2Q loss on restructuring costs
Credit: The Associated Press
DALLAS — Strong demand for lightweight aluminum in autos and airplanes is helping Alcoa Inc. cope with lingering weak metal prices.
The company said Monday that its second-quarter loss was wider than a year ago. But excluding costs for closing smelters and other restructuring and legal expenses, the results slightly beat Wall Street expectations.
The company stuck to its forecast of 7 percent growth in global aluminum demand this year, led by a roughly 10 percent increase for aerospace.

HOUSTON- Two men are facing charges after one of them shot at a Meadows Place police officer in his car early Saturday morning in southwest Houston.
According to the Houston Police Department, the incident happened around 1:30 a.m. at S. Kirkwood Road and Scottsdale Drive when a Meadows Place police officer attempted to stop a car for traffic violations.
Police said the driver refused to stop and the officer followed after him into the city of Houston limits, where the suspect suddenly stopped the car.
One of the two suspects in the car opened the door and started shooting at the officer as he was in his police car.
It is believed it may have been the passenger who did the shooting, according to HPD. The driver was quickly taken into custody, but the passenger took off running and fled the scene.
Officers set up a perimeter and eventually found the passenger. He was taken into custody.
Officers also found the gun and other items the passenger had dropped while running on foot. The officer was not hurt and no one was shot.

Normally strong supporters of Democratic presidential candidates, older women are unenthused about Barack Obama, writes longtime politico Dick Morris for the D.C. political newspaper The Hill. John McCain could counterattack by naming a woman running mate, Morris suggests.
Part of the problem may stem from Obama's defeat of Hillary Clinton during the primaries. Hillary drew her strongest support from older women who still remembered the sexism of their youth and their struggles to pierce the glass ceiling. For younger women, sexism has much less personal relevance and they were less drawn to her candidacy.

When Louisville sophomore guard Kevin Ware went down with a compound fracture to his right leg in the regional finals of the NCAA tournament, it was tough to predict when exactly he'll be able to return to the court. A gruesome injury like that will require at least eight months of rehab before Ware can even think about participating in full contact practices. However, Ware is as upbeat as possible about his unfortunate situation. ESPN's Dana O'Neil caught up with Ware over the weekend while she was in town for the Kentucky Derby. Ware shared his optimistic approach with her. "I look at it all as motivation," he tells O'Neil. "You can't finish until you get started.'' It almost seems unreal to imagine, but just five weeks after the gruesome injury, Ware is already riding a stationary bike and slowly starting to be able to put pressure on his right leg. Following the Kentucky Derby, Ware headed back to Georgia for a brief visit and will soon return back to Louisville. Just because he headed

The program comes as a DOS executable file (autotet.exe) which can be loaded onto the hard drive or run directly from a floppy disk. AUTOTET will automatically determine the number of individuals and loci in the input file, so there is minimal formatting input required.
Input Data File:
1) The data should be in ASCII text format, with individuals as rows, and loci as columns. Columns must be separated by at least one space or tab.
2) The first row should consist of 4 character labels for the loci (each label should be separated by at least one space or tab).
3) Each data row is to consist of 4 allele (coded as alphabetic characters) genotypes for each locus. Missing data must be coded as ....; this includes any individual for which there are less than 4 alleles at a locus.
Running the Program:
1) A sample data file (sample.txt) is also included on the disk.
2) To run the program, simply type autotet at the DOS prompt. AUTOTET first asks for an input file name (assumes DOS restrictions on file name lengths, i.e. an 8 character name plus the 3 character extension). Note that it is necessary for the input file to reside in the same directory as AUTOTET.
3) AUTOTET then asks whether is to be user-defined in calculations assuming chromatid segregation. If y is entered, then the user is prompted for a value, otherwise the default value of =0.143 (=1/7) (maximum double reduction) is used.
3) AUTOTET will next ask for an output filename. This is where results will be sent, and this file will also appear in the same directory as the input file and the program.
Disclaimer of Responsibility:
CSIRO does not warrant or make any representation regarding the use of, or the results of the use of, the software referred to as AUTOTET. In particular CSIRO does not warrant or represent that any of the results will be correct, accurate or reliable. The user relies on those results at his own risk.

OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. - A political survey is causing more controversy. Veterans protested outside the Osceola County supervisor of elections' office on Friday.
Last month, WFTV reported that the poll sent out by a firm hired by the elections supervisor in Osceola County seemed to have targeted her opponent.
The survey asked, "How likely are you to vote for a disabled veteran?" and "How likely are you to vote for someone born in the Dominican Republic?"
Peter Olivo is running against incumbent Mary Jane Arrington for Osceola supervisor of elections.
Olivo lost both of his legs in Vietnam, so when Arrington sent out a phone survey asking residents if they would support a disabled veteran, it outraged Olivo's fellow veterans who protested outside of Arrington's office on Friday. They're demanding Arrington's resignation.
"I was deeply offended. When you insult one of us, you insult all of us," said veteran Dan Dubay.
"It almost made me cry. Here I am, I lost half my body for this country, I love this country, and they want to use it against me?" said Olivo.
Although Arrington denied a request for an interview on Friday,
but earlier this month, she explained the survey by telling WFTV, "When you're in a campaign, you need to know the positives and negatives of your opponent."
She said it's just politics.
"I mean, this is politics, and if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen," said Arrington.
However, others disagree.
"She hasn't been under our fire. We were under fire. She needs to go to our kitchen. We will tell her what the heat is like," said Dubay.
"I am a disabled veteran, and I believe I am more capable than the current supervisor to hold any job in this county," said Vietnam veteran Mark Rosenbauer.
Olivo was born in the Dominican Republic. He became a U.S. citizen in 1969.
Arrington told WFTV, "Ethnicity is not important to me, but it could be to some people."
Olivo said he did not protest because he did not want to make it more political.

Blues Proud Record Blown By Hull
Portman Road
April 13
Attendance: 21,988
Ipswich can rightly feel aggrieved by a penalty decison which ended their proud record of clean sheets stretching back 484 minutes but have only themsleves to blame at losing at home against Hull.
Guirane N'Daw had a poor first half and bowled over David Meyler with what looked like an old-fashioned shoulder charge but referee Oliver Langford throught otherwise.
Robbie Brady, a quality player on loan from manchester United, sent Scott Loach the wrong way from the penalty spot midway through the first half.
Town regrouped, went back to their favoured 4-4-2, and made it difficult for Hull.
The game swung when Anthony Wordsworth, back after a back injury, replaced the battered Jay Tabb and Town were a lot livelier in midfield.
Wordsworth was poetry itslef as he drifted in behind defender James Chester and headed in an Aaron Cresswell cross 11 minutes after the break.
The Blues threatened to go on and win theagme but never seriously troubled David Stockdale, while Hull were not much of a danger either.
That was until Wordsworth made a weak clearance from a corner back to Brady who played in a cross with the outside of his boot and Robert Koren had the freedom of the area to head in City's winner.
It was a shame for Town to lose their clean sheet record and the game but we have a chance to put things right against Palace on Tuesday. COYB.
