Gov. Blagojevich opens World Shooting and Recreational Complex
State-of-the-art shooting and recreational facility will generate millions of dollars, hundreds of new jobs, and spur economic development throughout the state
SPARTA – Governor Rod R. Blagojevich today, joined by state and local officials, business leaders and sportsmen from across the nation, opened the long-anticipated World Shooting and Recreational Complex (WSRC) in Sparta. The newly constructed, state-of-the-art facility will become an economic boon for Southwestern Illinois, bringing more than 250 new jobs to the region, and hundreds of thousands of visitors to the state.
The Sparta World Shooting and Recreational Complex is hosting the first ever U.S. Open Trapshooting Championships starting today. The event, organized by the Amateur Trapshooting Association (ATA), is expected to draw nearly 1,000 participants who will compete for four days in July for $10,000 in prize money and trophies. The U.S. Open Trapshooting Championship is the first of three major shooting events taking place at the complex this year.
"Our investment in this world class complex will pay off in a big way not only in Southwestern Illinois, but across the state," said Gov. Blagojevich. "After years of planning and hard work, this complex is the premiere shooting facility in the nation. But, it's much more than a shooting complex. It has first class meeting and banquet facilities, a full-service restaurant, and a campground for families to enjoy. And, when families come to the World Shooting Complex, they'll also be able to enjoy all that Southwestern Illinois has to offer – including its history, golf courses, wineries and state parks."
"We have a great facility for sportsmen and shooting enthusiasts and I look forward to it being a magnet for tourism and economic growth in southern Illinois," State Rep. Dan Reitz (D-Sparta) said. "This complex and the events that will take place here will provide the opportunity to bring in people from all over the country to showcase our region."
"This world-class facility will provide a great boost to the economy in Southern Illinois," said State Sen. Dave Luechtefeld (R-Okawville). "I'm excited for Sparta, and look forward to the additional development the complex will bring for the entire area."
"This facility will hopefully provide a big boost to Southern Illinois tourism as it draws sportsmen and shooting enthusiasts from all over the country," State Rep. Brandon Phelps (D-Harrisburg) said. "In-state and out-of-state visitors alike will travel through other areas of Southern Illinois where they will contribute to the local economy by buying gas and food and staying in hotels and campgrounds. This is a great opportunity for our region and I am proud to have helped make this facility possible."
"The opening of the Sparta Shooting Complex is a great boost not just for the local economy, but for all of Southern Illinois," said State Sen. Gary Forby (D-Benson). "It certainly takes its place among the great things to do and see in our part of the state and I'm pleased to have been able to help make it a reality."
The 1,600-acre WSRC will feature: 250 acres of water; 120 trap fields extending 3.5 miles; two sporting clay courses; a Cowboy Action Shooting corral; permanent exhibition building; 746 RV campsites with electric, water, and sanitary services, and an additional 264 sites with electrical service, providing potential for camping jamborees; a multi-purpose recreational facility; gift shop; and full service restaurant and lounge. It's also expected to quickly become a premiere meeting, exhibit, banquet and reception space in Southwestern Illinois.
The 34,000-square-foot events center includes a 4,700-square-foot concession area, which will house a 1,250-square-foot full service restaurant, a 950-square-foot lounge and a 2,250-square-foot dining room, which will be used during larger events. In May, Ned Kelly's of Bloomington, Inc. was awarded the contract to supply food and beverages to the WSRC. The Bloomington, Illinois-based restaurant will operate its WSRC facility under the name "Heartland Range."
In January 2004, Gov. Blagojevich announced an agreement with the Amateur Trapshooting Association (ATA) to make Illinois the new home of the Grand American competition. The state welcomed the nation's largest outdoor shooting tournament to the WSRC after the ATA, the governing board for clay target shooting in the United States, decided to relocate its headquarters from its former home in Vandalia, Ohio, after more than 80 years. This decision was made after plans were announced to expand the Dayton International Airport in Ohio, which would have altered the grounds where the Grand American was held.
The Grand American is said to attract nearly 7,000 shooters during the course of the 10-day event. The facility will also host two other annual ATA shooting events – the U.S. Open, the precursor event for the Grand American being held in August, and a fall shoot being held in October.
"This complex will be a huge economic draw for this area. Activity at the site will generate new revenues for the state with hotel and motel fees, dining, and a variety of other tourist activities," said Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) Acting Director Sam Flood. "Over three million dollars in revenues have already been committed this year from camping and vending fees alone."
"The City of Sparta and Randolph County are excited about the future opportunities for our area, due to the World Shooting and Recreational Complex opening. This Complex will not only create new jobs and increase tax revenue, but will also make Sparta the destination for thousands of people. This entire area looks forward to an exciting and prosperous future," said Mayor Randy Bertetto, City of Sparta.
The IDNR is the state agency that will oversee the WSRC. A General Manager for the complex has not been named. IDNR Special Events Coordinator Bob Ruff will serve as acting General Manager in the interim.
Construction of the WSRC was approved by Gov. Blagojevich in 2003. Ground on the complex was broken in fall 2004, and took approximately 16 months to be completed. Costs for the project will total approximately $50 million. The state's Capital Development Board (CDB) provided $31.5 million in capital funding to secure the project, and also managed the construction of the WSRC. The Illinois Department of Transportation reallocated $10 million for road improvements in the area. And $8 million in local bonds for water and sewer improvements will be repaid to the City of Sparta over the next 20 years.

Problem: Single woman struggling with debts that take up half her income and prevent her from saving from retirement
Solution: Sell condo and car and rent closer to work. Pay off debt, start seriously saving and this retirement could have a happy ending
In British Columbia, a woman we'll call Patricia, 53, is struggling to pay her expenses. It's not easy, for her debt service charges alone, $1,435 a month, consume just over half of her $2,790 after-tax income.
Her budget is spare — she spends just $240 each month on food and zero on restaurants, nothing for travel nor anything for registered savings — and yet she cannot make ends meet. Having gone from one layoff to another, her gross income has fallen by a quarter in the last two years. She is considering selling her books and one of her bicycles. Her situation sounds desperate — and it is.
"My expenses consume my income and I am falling behind every month as my credit debt grows," says Patricia, who works as an administrator for a construction company. "Financial constraint is a hard way to live. What is the smartest way to resolve my situation?"
Family Finance asked Derek Moran, head of Smarter Financial Planning Ltd. in Kelowna, B.C., to work with Patricia.
"Her position is less than enviable," he explains. "She has debts with interest rates as high as 12% a year. Her net worth is just $15,600. Given that earning more money is not easily achieved right now, for she has looked hard for better pay, she has to consider selling her $310,000 condo. It is her main asset, but if interest rates rise above 2.59%, which is what she is now paying, it will become a cash flow liability. "
Getting Out of Debt
An alternative is to rent the condo out. If she got $1,200 a month and had to pay out $913 for her mortgage, $52 for taxes, and $300 for condo fees, she would actually be at a loss even before maintenance costs. Sale, on the other hand, would let her pay off the $248,000 mortgage and leave perhaps $50,000 cash after an estimated $12,000 selling costs and moving expenses.
That cash would let her pay off $36,000 on two lines of credit, a $12,700 credit card bill that costs her 12% a year, and another $600 credit card bill. She would walk away with just $700, but her debts, other than a $1,100 balance with the Canada Revenue Agency, would be eliminated.
With the condo sold, Patricia would be able to rent an apartment near her place of work. She has to commute at present, for which she owns and maintains a car. However, if she lived closer to her job and could bike to work, she would save $200 a month or more on gas and incidentals. Her total savings would be $912 on her mortgage, $52 on property tax, $300 on condo fees and $200 on her car plus eliminated debt services.
That adds up to $1,464 a month. If her rent was $1,000 a month, her net savings would be $464 a month on direct living costs plus another $423 from elimination of debt services charges. Total savings — $887 per month. She could bank whatever cash she gets from selling her old car with an estimated value of $2,000. She could pay off her income tax bill, but she needs the liquidity, after all. She can pay the tax as she is doing at $100 per month.
Eliminating debt will reduce Patricia's problems but not solve all of them. She is her sole support and will be at risk from illness, future job layoffs and the other hazards of life. Long term care insurance and other risk mitigation strategies are too costly. The paradox of having little money is that she has to self-insure many risks, as wealthy people often do. The solution is to grow her financial assets to provide the cash she may need if serious illness curbs her ability to earn money.
Retirement planning
Retirement is coming into Patricia's view. She will receive Canada Pension Plan benefits at an estimated $12,150 a year at age 65 or $14,191 if she works to 67, benefitting from a 0.7% a month bonus for delaying benefits from 65 onward to as late as 70. She will also receive Old Age Security benefits of $6,600 a year at 67, all in 2013 dollars. She can cut taxes by putting money into her RRSP. She will get a 21% tax refund in her bracket.
If Patricia saves $1,000 a month liberated from debt service and condo fees, she could save $12,000 a year for 14 years to age 67. Her employer would provide 100% matching funds of her RRSP contributions up to 2% of her $48,000 annual gross salary. That's $960. Her RRSP refunds would be approximately $2,520 a year in her tax bracket. If she puts the refunds into a Tax-Free Savings Account and gets a 3% return after inflation, she would have $44,350 in the account at 67. TFSA money could be withdrawn without tax or restriction. If she takes 3% a year, she could add $1,330 to retirement income.
If Patricia contributes $12,000 a year plus $960 from her employer and gets a 3% annual return after inflation, then at her age 67, she would have $228,100 in her RRSP. That money, if converted to a RRIF, could generate payments beginning at 4.35% at 67 rising to 7.48% at 72 and climbing to 20% in her mid-90s.
Using a 6% average figure for early RRIF payouts beginning at age 67, Patricia would have $13,686 from her RRIF. She could add $14,191 from Canada Pension Plan, $6,599 from Old Age Security and 3% after inflation or $1,330 from her TFSA for total pre-tax income of approximately $35,800 a year in 2013 dollars. If she paid an average tax of 10% on her income (the rate allows for no tax on TFSA payouts), she would have $2,685 a month to spend. That would be almost equal to her present take-home income but, with all debt service payments eliminated, she would have 50% more purchasing power, Mr. Moran notes.
"Patricia has had some tough breaks, particularly a slide in income from jobs that paid her appreciably more than her present work," Mr. Moran says. "My concern is that a rise in interest rates drives her borrowing costs up and her condo value down, which would be devastating to her finances. But this analysis shows that she can gain financial stability if she sells her condo and uses the proceeds to pay off all debts, then contributes savings to RRSPs. Along with the employer's match, she will have a stronger base for her future."

Everything you need to know about stretching
Stretching is overwhelmingly recommended – even prescribed – by sports medicine professionals and is widely practised by athletes in almost every sport. It seems to be one of those common sense things to do. But there are as many unanswered questions about stretching as there are scientific facts to support it.
Nevertheless, Shrier, Gossal, Michael Alter MS, author of Sport Stretch, and Robert Anderson, author of Stretching, have compiled enough data to answer many of the questions frequently asked by serious athletes and exercisers. Here are some of those questions and answers.
Does stretching reduce injuries?
'New evidence,' say Shrier and Gossal, 'suggests that stretching immediately before exercise does not prevent overuse or acute injuries.' They add that continuous stretching during the day and conducted over a period of time may promote muscle growth which, in turn, could reduce the risk of injury. Perhaps as significant as the injury prevention information are the data that point toward stretching as a means of increasing muscle size and strength.
Does stretching affect flexibility?
Yes. There is conclusive evidence regarding stretching and flexibility. Loss of flexibility can be prevented and at least partially restored by stretching. However, that evidence is more compelling for a long-term stretching programme than for shorter periods of time. Stretching to increase flexibility minutes prior to an event may be possible, but a stretching programme over a period of months can lead to a sustained increase in range of motion.
Can stretching improve performance?
Yes, if the stretches are designed to be sport-specific. One study showed that an increase in the temperature of the vastus lateralis (a muscle in the upper leg) achieved by stretching resulted in an increase in vertical jump and an increase in maximal cycling power. However, the study did not investigate whether or not the increase in temperature could have been achieved by other warm-up methods. Another study showed that a 10-week static stretching programme resulted in improved performance in tests involving speed, strength, power, or muscle endurance. Additional research has shown benefits in throwing a baseball and serving a tennis ball following a stretching programme that improved shoulder flexibility.
What is the difference between static and dynamic stretching?
Static stretching requires that the muscle be stretched to a point of resistance and held for a period of time. Dynamic or ballistic stretching involves repetitive bouncing, rebounding or rhythmic motions and is generally thought to be more dangerous and less effective than static stretching. However, ballistic stretching is used by some physical therapists and athletic trainers to simulate the movements of certain sports.
What is PNF stretching?
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation uses alternating contraction and relaxation movements that are supervised and controlled by a trainer or therapist. PNF is an alternative strategy for increasing range of motion.
How long should a stretch be held?
One 15-30-second stretch per muscle group is sufficient for most people, but some exercisers require longer stretches as well as more repetitions.
How many times should the same stretch be performed during one session?
As mentioned earlier, some research suggests that one stretch per muscle group is sufficient. However, many professionals recommend two or three repetitions for each 10-second stretch, or one repetition of 30 seconds. The rationale for multiple stretches is that connective tissue responds better to low-force, long-duration stretching than higher-force, short-duration stretches.
Are there any benefits in holding stretches longer than 30 seconds?
There is no evidence that this is the case.
Should stretches be held for the same length of time for each muscle group?
No. Because the stretching properties vary from muscle group to muscle group, the optimal duration of a stretch and the frequency of stretching may also vary from person to person. Each athlete must determine the length of the hold that is most effective.
What is the stretch reflex?
A stretch reflex occurs when a muscle is first stretched to an extreme. At that point, a nerve impulse signals the muscle to contract. It is a protective mechanism that the body uses to protect muscle tissues from tearing.
Why do some exercise scientists recommend stretching after a workout?
'When the temperature of muscles is higher than normal, stiffness decreases and extensibility increases,' says Alter. 'Athletes who want to maintain or enhance their flexibility can partially achieve that goal by stretching when their body temperature has been elevated, making it safer and more productive than when at a normal level. Lyle J Micheli MD says that stretching for five minutes after exercise prevents muscles from tightening too quickly. He suggests that athletes go through an abbreviated version of the stretches performed before an activity.
Should stretching exercises be the same for healthy athletes and those recovering from injuries?
No. Shrier and Gossal warn that injuries affect the stretching properties of muscles. Injured athletes may require stretches to be held longer to increase range of motion.
Does the application of ice or heat have an effect on stretching?
Warming up a muscle before stretch or using ice during static and ballistic stretches can increase the range of motion, but neither will prevent an injury. Exposure to increased or decreased temperature before or during PNF stretches has no effect. The mechanism by which ice and heat affect stretching is not clear, but both may have a pain-relieving effect that allows greater range of motion.
Does it help to warm up first, then do stretching exercises?Generally, those who use an active warm-up prior to stretching get greater range of motion than those who only stretch. But any benefits in terms of injury prevention are more likely to come from warming up, not because of stretching. Shrier and Gossal say that if range of motion is the goal, stretches are helpful. If injury prevention is the goal, athletes should drop the stretching before exercise and increase the amount of time warming up. But the 'warming up' concept presents even more confusion because there is no universal definition of the term.
In summary…
… there appear to be more benefits from stretching than disadvantages, but the picture is not as clear as most athletes would like. The research suggests that stretching programmes should be individualised according to the athlete's physical make-up and level of conditioning. Stretching routines should also be designed to achieve one of four things:
1. maintain or improve range of motion;
2. be free of pain;
3. recover from injuries that restrict flexibility or
4. achieve sport-specific goals.
If injuries are prevented along the way, consider it a bonus.
Anderson brings the common sense approach back to stretching. 'Good stretching is knowing your body. It has nothing to do with how far you can move a particular part. The feelings you get when you stretch are a good gauge. The right feeling is when you can perform a stretch but it doesn't hurt. Don't worry if you can't stretch as far as someone else. Some people just don't have the body to be as flexible as others.'

i was originally using a blue 'spacey' background for this, when the hubby commented that it looked like some kind of 1980s action cartoon show. Not exactly the effect i wanted. So to jazz it up a bit, i switched to this background, and proudly showed it to him. Only to have him positively howl in laughter, gasping that it now looked like something from the 1960s. Fine then, whatever. The way i see it, the 60s were cooler than the 80s. =P
For the challenge requirements, i hope the empty coloured frames fulfil the shapes requirement, and the dark and light background fulfils the values requirement. To my unschooled eye, i just think the strong lines lead the eye to the title and main graphic while providing some energy to the layout, while the frames add a splash of colour and interest and a little movement as well.

- Rare disease designations
Orphan designation
On 24 January 2013, orphan designation (EU/3/12/1092) was granted by the European Commission to Ganymed Pharmaceuticals AG, Germany, for chimeric monoclonal antibody against claudin 6 for the treatment of ovarian cancer.
- What is ovarian cancer?
Ovarian cancer is cancer of the ovaries (two organs in the female reproductive system that produce eggs). Most ovarian cancers occur in women over the age of 50 years. Due to the absence of symptoms in the early stages of the disease, the majority of patients are diagnosed when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
Ovarian cancer is a long-term debilitating and life-threatening disease that is associated with poor long-term survival.
- What is the estimated number of patients affected by the condition?
At the time of designation, ovarian cancer affected approximately 3 in 10,000 people in the European Union (EU). This was equivalent to a total of around 153,000 people*, and is below the ceiling for orphan designation, which is 5 people in 10,000. This is based on the information provided by the sponsor and the knowledge of the Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP).
*Disclaimer: For the purpose of the designation, the number of patients affected by the condition is estimated and assessed on the basis of data from the European Union (EU 27), Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. This represents a population of 509,000,000 (Eurostat 2013).
- What treatments are available?
At the time of designation, several medicines were authorised in the EU for the treatment of ovarian cancer. The choice of treatment depended mainly on how advanced the disease was. Treatments included surgery and chemotherapy (medicines to treat cancer).
The sponsor has provided sufficient information to show that the medicine might be of significant benefit for patients with ovarian cancer because studies in experimental models suggest it might improve the treatment of patients with this condition. This assumption will need to be confirmed at the time of marketing authorisation, in order to maintain the orphan status.
- How is this medicine expected to work?
This medicine is a monoclonal antibody, a type of protein that has been designed to recognise and attach to a specific structure (called an antigen) that is found on the surface of cancer cells. This medicine has been designed to target an antigen called claudin 6, which is a protein found on the surface of many ovarian cancer cells (particularly in advanced disease), but not on the surface of healthy cells. By attaching to claudin 6 on the cancer cells, the monoclonal antibody is expected to cause the cells to die, slowing down the growth of the cancer.
- What is the stage of development of this medicine?
The effects of chimeric monoclonal antibody against claudin 6 have been evaluated in experimental models.
At the time of submission of the application for orphan designation, no clinical trials with the medicine in patients with ovarian cancer had been started.
At the time of submission, chimeric monoclonal antibody against claudin 6 was not authorised anywhere in the EU for ovarian cancer or designated as an orphan medicinal product elsewhere for this condition.
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 141/2000 of 16 December 1999, the COMP adopted a positive opinion on 6 December 2012 recommending the granting of this designation.
- Opinions on orphan medicinal product designations are based on the following three criteria
- the seriousness of the condition;
- the existence of alternative methods of diagnosis, prevention or treatment;
- either the rarity of the condition (affecting not more than 5 in 10,000 people in the EU) or insufficient returns on investment.
Designated orphan medicinal products are products that are still under investigation and are considered for orphan designation on the basis of potential activity. An orphan designation is not a marketing authorisation. As a consequence, demonstration of quality, safety and efficacy is necessary before a product can be granted a marketing authorisation.

The Growth-Inequality Nexus without Borrowing Restrictions and Government Intervention: Some Implications from a Prototype Model
Using a prototype human capital based growth model without borrowing restrictions and government intervention, we study the dynamic evolution of aggregate output and income inequality. We show how even barebones models can yield some testable implications about the growth-inequality relation that may square nicely with the empirical reality. We also provide some useful speculations about this relation over different stages of economic development.

text: I have just had my 2nd treatment yesterday and it really, really hurt- even more than the first for they raised the intensity. I am so swollen there is no way I could have gone to work. I have tried IPL/photofacila numerous times to treat my melasma but to no avail. I decided to give Fraxel a try and after the first treatment immediatley saw results. Two weeks later (yesterday) I had my second treatment. I was not as enthused about the reduction of wrinkles around my eyes but am hopeful that they too will have the results that I have had with eliminating the melasma. My sessions are $900 each and includes the face, neck and chest. I will eventually Fraxel my hands but am focusing on my face, neck, and chest for now. I have already scheduled my 3rd appt. and can't wait for the redness and swelling to subside to see how my skin looks.

My newest book comes out in France today:
That's my eye on the cover, taken right in my publishers' office. It's part of a series of thirteen novels, all set in Paris and all taking place in part on Friday the 13th. (Nothing to do with the series of horror movies of the same name, although my friend Scott Phillips of New Mexico wrote a Jason tie-in novel a few years back, so this is really going to confuse the shit out of people.)
Three of the novels are already being turned into TV movies, and I'm hoping this will be the fourth. It's loosely based on a period in the early nineties when my friend Lane Davies and I were running around Paris trying to raise money for a movie. Lane was the star of a soap opera, "Santa Barbara," that was broadcast with great success during prime time in France, and was such a celebrity there that we were certain we could get this thing made. We didn't but hijinks ensued and when les Éditions la Branche asked me to write something for the series I asked Lane if he'd object to me depicting him as a murdering psychopath (in the novel, things go slightly more haywire than they did in real life).
Hell, no, I don't mind, he replied, can I play myself in the TV movie?
We just got done shooting a book trailer and are just starting to edit. Here's a shot of one of the sets, showing tireless cinematographer/editor Jenna Marguerita with indefatiguable grips Tony and Nathan, and seated at the bar, Anita Romero, playing Esmée, the femme fatale:
And here's the lovely Anita in character:
The book will be out in July of 2013 from Counterpoint Books under the title "RAKE," with one of the best covers I've ever had. Until then, you can get the French version here: http://www.furet.com/nocturne-le-vendredi-2084107.html

Exit Nerlens, Enter Noah: Syracuse Seeking Top New England PF Vonleh
While Vonleh is not quite Noel, SU is once again recruiting a big man from Massachusetts.
Jim Boeheim and his staff are trying to make sure their second swing at a #1 big man from New England is a home run. While Syracuse lost top prospect and Massachusetts prouduct Nerlens Noel, Noah Vonleh would be a terrific followup.
Vonleh hails from Haverhill, MA (not far from N2's home of Everett), and is considered the top power forward in the Class of '14. He has repeatedly mentioned SU as one of the schools recruiting him hard.
The front line monster stands at 6'8, 220 lbs. and is getting lots of national attention. ESPN released its Super 60 rankings for the '14 class yesterday and Vonleh stands at. Top 15 players on that list, Theo Pinson and Wayne Selden, are also on the Orange radar. The top overall player in '14 is Andrew Wiggins, and has also gotten an offer from SU.
Although Noah says he has not put together an official list, at least 13 schools have made official offers, including Georgetown, Pittsburgh, Kansas, and North Carolina.
But who was the first to reach out to NV with a scholarship? The Orange. Back when Vonleh was just a freshman at Haverhill High, Syracuse reached out to the versatile big man. NV transferred to New Hampton HS his sophomore year.
The growing forward currently plays for the Mass Rivals AAU program, in which he's averaged a double-double in points and rebounds, along with blocked shots. Vonleh looks to continue his success into tournament action this weekend. His Rivals club is seeking its third major championship.
SU will definitely have high competition to land Vonleh. UNC's Roy Williams has made Vonleh his first official 2014 scholarship offer. Kentucky has yet to offer NV, but it's a safe bet that John Calipari will be in the mix given N2 could be NBA Draft bound after his freshman season.
Noah has said he would feel comfortable in the patented SU zone, and likes the fact the program churns out NBA-ready players annually. On the offensive end NV truly displays his versatility. He is a combo forward/point-forward. At 6'8″ he can get out on the break and make plays. At New Hampton, Vonleh juggles the roles of handling the ball up court, or being fed in the post. And we all know how Boeheim loves to isolate the playbook and focus on match ups offensively.
The fact a big like Vonleh can handle the ball well is a rarity. With Rakeem Christmas as a primary post player, along with Jerami Grant coming in this season, the Orange could definitely use a versatile PF. Vonleh compares very similarly to 2013 recruit JermaineLawrence, who says the Orange leads his recruiting brigade.
NV still has a lot to work on, especially his mid-range scoring and buckling down on defense. But a comfort within the zone would certainly help that. With such a large frame still growing, his ability to create his own shot makes him a scary player to guard and one the Orange will continue to push for.

thx E!
Hi guys,
so I created a separate project for JDBM. It contains two versions :
- the one we used befoe Selcuk modified it to include MVCC into it (jdbm)
- and Selcuk's version with MVCC (jdbm2)
It's available on https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/directory/jdbm/
You have two sub-modules, jdbm and jdbm2.
We currently point to jdbm2 in trunks-with-dependencies (I have added an external for it), so don't expect the project to be built fast, as the two modules will be compiled if you do a full build.
This will change as soon as we will have cut a release for JDBM (very soon), and I'll then remove jdbm from the externals.
Right now, the current rersion is 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.
Have fun !

Each year billions of external chargers are shipped globally. Power supplies for notebooks weigh typically around 300 but sometimes up to 600 grams. They are generally not usable from one computer to the next. Sometimes they get lost or break, leading to the discarding of computers that may still work perfectly well. It is estimated that the total e-waste related to all kinds of chargers of ICT devices (Information and Communication) exceeds half a million tons each year; basically the equivalent of 500 000 cars.
This new IEC Technical Specification covers critical aspects of external chargers for notebook computers, their connector and plug, as well as safety, interoperability, performance and environmental considerations.
The new IEC Technical Specification opens the way to a significant and very real reduction of e-waste related to power supplies and will allow consumers to use a single external charger with a wide range of notebook computers. This will also make it much easier for external chargers to be reused or replaced when needed. IEC work ensures that the charger is reliable and safe to use, and that it provides the required level of performance.
In 2011, the IEC published the first globally relevant Standard for a universal charger for data enabled mobile phones ( www.iec.ch/newslog/2011/nr0311.htm). This work was accomplished in the IEC with relevant input by CENELEC and ITU-T, with which the IEC has a long-standing cooperation agreement: the organisation says that today, 82% of European Standards in electrotechnology are identical to, or based on, IEC International Standards.
IEC General Secretary and CEO Frans Vreeswijk said, "The IEC International Standards for the universal charger for mobile phones http://www.iec.ch/newslog/2011/nr0311.htm has been widely adopted by the mobile phone industry and is already starting to help reduce e-waste. A single power supply covering a wide range of notebook computers is the next step in lowering e-waste and its impact on our planet."

Steelers kicker Shaun Suisham was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for kicking the game-winning 34-yard field goal to beat the Eagles as time expired Sunday.
This marks the second time that Suisham has been named special teams player of the week but it's his first since 2007 when he was a member of the Redskins. Suisham was 3-for-3 (20, 34, 34) on field goals in the 16-14 victory over the Eagles. His final field goal was the fifth game-winner of his career and first since September 2011 at Indianapolis.
Suisham has made all eight of his field goals this season. This ties his second-best streak to start a season. He converted his first 13 field goals in 2009.

"We need 100 to 150 million ringgit to put the car on the grid. And we need (a further) 300 million for the whole competition," he told reporters.
The ebullient 46-year-old Fernandes, the founder and CEO of Southeast Asian budget carrier AirAsia, is at the forefront of the return to the sport of Lotus, which announced its intention to race again last week.
The team is backed by 1Malaysia F1 Team Sdn Bhd, a public-private partnership involving a string of top local entrepreneurs, as well as national automaker Proton.
Fernandes, who is the team principal, said the Malaysian team would hire 225 people including aerodynamic experts and engineers with mechanical and electronics know-how.
He said the Malaysian F1 car would be ready for trials at the Sepang circuit outside the capital Kuala Lumpur in February.
The first race will be in Bahrain on March 14 and Malaysia will host the third race on April 4.
Asked if he was confident of finding sponsors for the team, he said: "Have we failed so far?" in reference to the success of AirAsia which since its launch in 2001 has become the world's 12th largest airline.

The climatology and interannual variability of winter phytoplankton was analyzed at the Long Term Ecological Research Station MareChiara (LTER-MC, Gulf of Naples, Mediterranean Sea) using data collected from 1985 to 2006. Background winter chlorophyll values (0.2–0.5 μg chl a dm−3) were associated with the dominance of flagellates, dinoflagellates, and coccolithophores. Winter biomass increases (<5.47 μg chl a dm−3) were often recorded until 2000, generally in association with low-salinity surface waters (37.3–37.9). These blooms were most often caused by colonial diatoms such as Chaetoceros spp., Thalassiosira spp., and Leptocylindrus danicus. In recent years, we observed more modest and sporadic winter biomass increases, mainly caused by small flagellates and small non-colonial diatoms. The resulting negative chl a trend over the time series was associated with positive surface salinity and negative nutrient trends. Physical and meteorological conditions apparently exert a strict control on winter blooms, hence significant changes in winter productivity can be foreseen under different climatic scenarios.

Oliwa is currently a part of the Northern Polish city of Gdansk. It is bordered on the east by the Bay of Gdansk, on the north by the town of Sopot, on the south by the borroughs of Wrzeszcz and Zaspa and on the west by the chain of hills and forest surrounding Gdansk. Except for the 'old city' Oliwa encompasses the borroughs of Polanki, Jelitkowo, Przymorze and Zabianka.
It is not known when Oliwa was established. Archeological excavations suggest that the first settlement in this area was established in early Iron Age. The Cistercian Monks tradition (unconfirmed by other sources) speaks of an early seat of power of the Pomeranian Princes. It is unknown what the original name of the settlement, renamed by the Cistercian Monks to Oliwa, was. Linguists claim that the monks have adapted the old Slavic name of Olawa. Furthermore the linguists claim that the monks could not have come up with the name of Oliwa by themselves because they had nothing to do with the biblical Olive Mound. The proponents of this theory overlook a number of facts however:
We must consider that the monks were obviously aware of the biblical symbolism of the olive tree. A key to such a use of the name Oliwa could be the following verse: "sicut oliva virens in domo Dei speravi in misericordia Dei in saeculum sempiternum" (Ps. 52,10) "like the olive tree that blooms in God's house, I place my trust in divine grace for centuries to come" (this is my slightly loose translation) There are a number of other biblical quotes which could serve as key to the name Oliwa. In my opinion, contrary to the linguists the name Oliwa can be fully attributed to the monks. The name refers to an olive tree and the abbey 'planted on new ground for God's glory'.
The first mention of Oliwa dates to 1186AD when the Cistercians established a monastery there. The monks received a deed of ownership from the contemporary Pomeranian Prince Sambor I in 1188. The deed encompassed a number of villages, including Oliwa which became a monastic village for long centuries to come. The village's history is directly linked to the development of the monastery. Below you can see a short list of key events during Oliwa's history:
A famous event in the history of Oliwa was the Battle of Oliwa during the Swedish invasions. I will concentrate on the more recent history of the settlement in the remainder of this write-up.
As a result of the 1st Partition of Poland, Oliwa inhabited by about 500 people and counting approximately 70 buildings became part of East Prussia. The Prussians confiscated all of the Cistercian Monks' possessions. The abbey prior received a salary and the monastery received financial reparations. In 1804 Oliwa became an administrative headquarter (solectwo) for the surrounding villages and the administrator (soltys) settled in the Dom Bramny (former abbey gatehouse).
In 1807 the Napoleonic armies took the village over and set up a field hospital in the abbey. Napoleon stayed in one of the local estates. Oliwa became part of the Free City Gdansk or Freie Stadt Danzig until 1813 when the Russians entered Oliwa and once again used the abbey as a field hospital. In 1815 Oliwa and Gdansk became part of the Prussian Kingdom.
A period of relative calm ensues. In 1822 a paved road joining Oliwa and Gdansk is built. In 1831 the monastery is liquidated. The abbey becomes a catholic parish and the former parish church is transferred to the local Evangelical protestant community. The Oliwa parish consisted of a number of small settlements from Sopot to Gdansk including today's burroughs of Wrzeszcz, Zaspa, Nowy Port, Wysoka and Rynarzewo. The Dom Bramny undergoes renovation in 1836 so as to be able to function as a modern administrative center. Gustav Schilling is nominated as the first wojt (administrator of a number of villages) in 1852.
In 1864 the villages of Polanki and Schwabenthal (Dolina Schwabego) become part of Oliwa which now numbers approximately 2000 inhabitants. In 1867 a new wojt is nominated i.e. Herman Tümmler. During his term Oliwa gained a rail connection with Gdansk and Koszalin (1870). In 1873 a local firm Quistrop established a horse drawn tramline. The line met its demise in 1879 because it was not very profitable. In 1874 Oliwa becomes a township and the first community leader is Georg Czachowski. During his term a number of paved roads joining the township with surrounding settlements were built and the number of inhabitants surpassed 4000. Between 1885 and 1907 Oliwa was headed by a number of administrators and slowly expanded in all directions, not in the least due to the continuing efforts in improving the infrastructure. The seaside community of Jelitkowo was incorporated by Oliwa in 1907. Jelitkowo became a center of leisure with bathhouses and a wooden pier. In the same year a gas factory was built. In 1911 Oliwa received running water, although a sewage system was not installed until 1921. By 1910 there were more than 9000 inhabitants.
In 1910 Oliwa celebrated the 250th anniversary of the Oliwa peace treaty. In 1911 a catholic school was established at today's Cistercians' Street. The surrounding forest was enriched by a Hortus Botanicus in 1912. In 1913 another railway line was added joining Oliwa with the Cassubian town of Koscierzyna. After World War I and on the basis of the Treaty of Versailles the Wolne Miasto Gdansk or Freie Stadt Danzig was established on November 15th 1920 under the protectorate of the League of Nations and Poland. The borders of the free city included Oliwa, a part of the parish however was in Poland.
In 1921 Herbert Creutzburg was nominated as the mayor (!) of Oliwa. His term was disastrous. He wanted to open a casino styled on the Sopot casino. (by then Sopot was a renowned seaside spa). He ruined the city funds and the losses amounted to 400.000 guilders. The losses were paid up by the city of Gdansk which sped up the annexation of Oliwa by Gdansk on July 1st 1926. The remainder of the twenties brought a lot of prosperity. A paint factory "Daol" and a chocoloate factory "Anglas" were established. These still exist today, although under different names. The world renowned Dr.Oetker company was also established in Oliwa in the twenties. In 1926 a small ZOO and fur farm were established. The ZOO is today one of the largest in Poland. The most important event of 1926 were however the celebrations of the 750th anniversary of Oliwa
In the thirties the National-Socialist NSDAP was gaining strength in the free city. In 1930 the party numbered 500 in Gdansk. In 1932 when Adolf Hitler made a stopover at the Zaspa airport he was greeted by 10.000 NSDAP members. In 1939 the square in front of the (recently upgraded) Oliwa cathedral was paved with granite slabs and was frequently used as a drill terrain for the Hitlerjugend. On August 23rd 1939 Albert Forster was named head of state and took full control of the free city. A week later World War II started when the German cruiser Schleswig-Holstein attacked a small outpost on the Westerplatte. Polish activists including priests were arrested by the Germans who took over all the important control points and marched into Poland. Freie Stadt Danzig and of course Oliwa together with the Polish voivodship of Pomerania were annexed by the Reich as Reichsgau Danzig-Westpreussen (Reichsprovince of Gdansk and West Prussia).

The Journal for MultiMediaHistory Volume 1 Number 1 ~ Fall 1998 |
Corinne Blake
New types of information technology such as the Internet and CD-ROM can be used to enhance courses in colleges and universities. A large amount of primary material about Islam and Islamic civilizations, for example, is available to students through the Internet, including full texts of the Qur'an in various translations, several collections of Hadith (records of the Prophet Muhammad's words and deeds), Shi`i and Sufi religious texts, and classics works of Islamic literature. Since this material is mostly translated, it is of limited interest to advanced graduate students, but it is appropriate for undergraduate courses on Islamic religion, history, and civilization as well as for survey courses in world history. Using material from the Internet provides students with access to primary sources and research material that is often unavailable at smaller institutions. It can also expose students to different points of view within the Muslim community. The challenge for already overextended professors is figuring out how to locate these materials and incorporate them into courses. After reviewing primary source material for teaching Islamic civilization that is available online, I'll discuss methods and issues related to incorporating Internet material into courses.

Primary Materials for Teaching Islamic Civilization
The Qur'an online
Hadith and Fiqh online
Material about Shi`ism
Material about Sufism
Islamic Literature
Islamic Art and Architecture
Miscellaneous Tools
Incorporating Internet Material into Courses
Course Web Pages
Internet Assignments
the www.quran.org.uk/ Web site. |
the www.islam-usa.com Web site. |
Since the links in these sites don't always work, it is helpful to list alternative sites where students can find the assigned interpretation. The Yusuf Ali version with a subject list is available at yet another site, http://www.umr.edu/~msaumr/Quran/, maintained by the M.S.A. at the University of Missouri-Rolla. Other copies of Shakir's interpretation are located at http://etext.virginia.edu/koran.html, http://info.uah.edu/msa/quranShakir.html and http://www.hti.umich.edu/relig/koran/. The latter site allows students to use several different methods to search the text for passages of interest. The T.B. Irving version is available at http://www.islam-usa.com/quran.html. A different interpretation by Muhammad Taqi ud-Din al-Hilani and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan with a glossary and introductions to each surah is available from the U.N.N. Islamic Society in the United Kingdom at http://www.unn.ac.uk/societies/islamic/quran/neindex.htm. A translation by Maulvi Sher Ali can be found at http://www.utexas.edu/students/amso/quran_html/.
The M.S.A. at U.S.C. maintains a helpful site that enables students to compare different interpretations of the Qur'an on a line by line basis. To access this site, go to the address http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran, scroll down to "Chapters of the Qur'an," and chose a surah. Translations of each line of the surah by three different scholars, Shakir, Pickthall, and Ali, appear listed together line by line. The site includes a comprehensive index as well as a search function. The Quran Browser home page, at http://goon.stg.brown.edu/quran_browser/pqform.shtml also permits comparisons of different translations. Students can bring up a passage, then click on "all" to see the passage displayed in a table showing five different interpretations. It is also possible to read a passage or surah at this site, then click on one of four other translations of the same passage. The M.S.A. at the University of Southern California provides another useful source at the same address; they have put excerpts from Syed Abu-Ala' Maududi's noted commentary, The Meaning of the Qur'an, online. Though severely abridged, the online version includes useful introductions to each surah, with information about the surah's name, a discussion of historical events related to the text, and exegesis of the surah's themes. Maududi's commentary can also be accessed through the Islamic Society's site in the U.K. at: http://www.unn.ac.uk/societies/islamic/quran/intro/iindex.htm.

Al-Maqasid Web site. |

Islamic Literature
Since there are many older translations of classic works of Islamic literature, where copyright is not an issue, one can also access translations of Islamic literature that might be of use for courses on Islamic civilization. One of the best ways to find translations is through a Web page maintained by Columbia University's library at http://www.columbia.edu/cu/libraries/indiv/area/MiddleEast/literatures.html, which includes links to a large amount of classic and contemporary literature and poetry, including Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and Kurdish literature. There are several sites that contain translations of individual classes, such as 1001 Nights. A hypertext version of Sir Richard Burton's translation is available at http://www.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/techfak/ags/ti/personen/mfreeric/m/an/a_index.html and a hypertext version of Andrew Lang's turn of the century translation is available at the same site, http://www.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/techfak/ags/ti/personen/mfreeric/m/an/lang/lang_index.html. Project Gutenberg, which puts full-text versions of works without copyright online, has links to translations of 1001 Nights at http://tom.cs.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/book/lookup?num=128.
from a Turkish poetry Web site. |
In addition to the written texts listed above, there is information and graphic material about Islamic arts and architecture that can be accessed over the Web. A site entitled "Islamic Arts and Architecture" at http://www.islamicart.com/ includes information and pictures about coins, calligraphy, carpets, and architecture. There are also sites with pictures and information about various Islamic cities. A site on Isfahan at http://isfahan.anglia.ac.uk:8200/ provides a "virtual tour" through Isfahan, with photographs and descriptions of its incredible art and architecture, including mosques and shrines. Other sites provide pictures and information about specific buildings. A site at http://www.ee.bilkent.edu.tr/~history/topkapi.html focuses on the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul. This site provides historical information about the palace, a floor plan, and pictures of artifacts and rooms from different sections of the palace. The "On-line Guide to al-Haram ash-Sharif" at http://www.al-aqsa.com/index.html contains pictures and information about al-Aqsa and the Dome of the Rock, drawn from a CD-ROM sold through this site.
Miscellaneous Tools
In addition to the primary source material listed above, a variety of tools that may be useful for courses on Islam can be accessed through the Internet. The Internet Islamic History Sourcebook, at http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/islam/islamsbook.html, is an invaluable site that contains links to a large amount of material useful for courses on Islamic history. This site, which is drawn from the Ancient, Medieval, and Modern History Sourcebooks, includes material about Islamic religion, art, culture, and history from pre-Islamic Arabia to the modern period. There are links to articles by prominent scholars such as Bernard Lewis, Oleg Grabar, Phillip Hitti, Montgomery Watt, etc., as well as extensive translations of primary source material. The site contains excerpts from material such as A Description of Africa by Leo Africanus, Ibn Battuta's travels, writings of Ibn Rushd, and Muslim accounts of the Crusades. There are also links to Qur'an translations and historical maps of the Middle East.
From the University of Texas. |
Course Web Pages I have tried to demonstrate that there is a lot of material on Islam and Islamic history available to students through the Internet. When I first began using these materials, I directed students to the various sites by typing Web addresses in the syllabus. Students often had difficulty reaching the sites; they would not understand all the symbols, type the address incorrectly and in general, became very frustrated. A better approach is to develop a Web page for the course, with links to the required readings, or sites. From this page, which can be a complete online syllabus as well, students simply click to reach the sites. Developing a Web page used to be a complicated process that required knowledge of HTML. With the Web authoring programs available now, such as Microsoft Word 97 or AOL Press, anyone who can use a word processor can author a Web page. The time-consuming part, as always, is locating materials to use and developing assignments based on those materials. Even with the help of a course Web page, for example, it is still sometimes difficult for students to access sites; the university's system could be overloaded, there could be problems at the site itself, or there could be a traffic jam on the Internet "superhighway." When the same material is available at several sites or through several entry points, as is often the case, you could include links to different locations in hopes that at least one of them will be working. You could also put back up copies of the material on reserve in the library for students who are having trouble accessing the sites, or who prefer to read the material in print.
Corinne Blake is an assistant professor at Rowan University in New Jersey, where she teaches courses on Islam and the Middle East as well as world history. She received her Ph.D. in Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University in 1991; her dissertation topic was "Training Arab-Ottoman Bureaucrats: Syrian Graduates of the Mulkiye Mektebi, 1890-1920." She became interested in using the Internet while teaching at Rowan, and presented a paper entitled "Sources for Middle Eastern Historians on the Internet" at the Middle Eastern Studies Association Conference in 1995. Last fall, she organized a panel on "Teaching with Technology: Middle East History and Politics" at the M.E.S.A. conference in San Francisco, and presented an earlier version of "Teaching Islamic Civilization with Technology" at the conference. Currently, she is working on incorporating more Internet material into her courses on the Modern Middle East and the Arab-Israeli Conflict.

Try not to be shocked Reader Friends, but I did not finish reviewing last years' books by the New Year as I had intended. I'm still determined to catch up, and I've only got a few reviews left until I'm completely current, so be looking for more frequent posting during the week this week.
After reading several books of non-fiction, I decided it was time to give another literary fiction title a try to make sure my brain can still handle it. It's been a while (probably since Room) since I've read truly great, adult, non-genre fiction. Turns out my brain can handle it just fine! Strangers At the Feast is the story of one family's tragic Thanksgiving Day dinner. They are the typical all-American family, but a shocking act of violence mars their holiday and each character must deal with the consequences.
The writing was excellent. It was a great change of pace to get into a character-driven work rather than a plot-driven work. While the book does center around a violent act, the majority of the book depicts the characters and the circumstances that lead to violence rather than the act itself. I would consider this book to be mostly character development with a small emphasis placed on the plot itself. The author does an amazing job of creating detailed, nuanced characters, who are both sympathetic and at times despicable. Throughout the book we learn the justifications for each character's choices as well as the repercussions, but the development of each character is obviously the most important part of the novel.
This isn't one that I just zipped through in one sitting, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. I don't tend to read character-driven novels as quickly, but I certainly enjoyed the days I spent getting to know these characters. I particularly appreciated the nuances and subtle motivations revealed for each character and his or her actions. There were parts of each character that were completely unlikable, but also parts that were completely sympathetic. I found myself intensely disliking a character for a few chapters and then sympathizing with them suddenly as a new motivation was revealed.
I definitely recommend Strangers At The Feast to anyone interested in character driven books, literary fiction, or family studies. The interactions among the family is brilliant and complex and very realistic. It's not necessarily a fast read, but it's also around the 350 page length, so it's not terribly long either. The action at the end, and the excellent writing, propel the reader forward, making the book hard to put down.
Thank you to Wendy Sheanin and Simon and Schuster for sending me a copy!

Spirulina, a green-blue algae developed by Bangladeshi and French scientists several years ago, has been found to have "very good effects" on people suffering from arsenic poisoning caused by the recently-discovered contamination of much of the groundwater in Bangladesh.
Up to this point, doctors in Bangladesh have been virtually helpless in treating dying arsenic patients.
Bangladeshi researchers conducted a three-month hospital-based study in which 33 patients were given spirulina and 17 were given placebo doses. 82% of those taking Spirulina showed tremendous improvement.
Experts fear that more than 18 million people are likely to face eventual death from the poisoning, which at acute stages causes liver, lung, intestinal, stomach and kidney cancers.
Bangladeshi authorities say that approximately 70 million people, out of a population of 120 million, are at "great risk" from arsenic poisoning and a search for alternative water sources is under way. Arsenic was found in tube-wells in 59 of 64 districts.
Ironically, the use of contaminated well water became much more prevalent recently due to a large concerted effort over the past several decades by the Bangladeshi government and private organizations in an attempt to prevent water-borne diseases that can come from drinking bacteria-infested surface water. The campaign was so successful that now approximately 97 percent of the population has access to tube-well water.
Leading dermatologists, who joined a major health conference in Dhaka this week, unanimously recommended Spirulina to treat arsenic patients.
The cause of the arsenic contamination is currently unknown.
Clearly, acute arsenic poisoning is not a major problem in this country, but I find it fascinating that it is possible to treat this problem with spirulina. Algae is a powerful source of nutrition and I recommend most consider adding it to their diet program for general maintenance. There are two major types - spirulina and chlorella. I use chlorella regularly in my personal vegetable juicing program. Chlorella, not spirulina will also facilitate the removal of heavy metals like mercury from the body.
I understand that the US EPA is seriously considering substancialy lowering the upper limit for the allowable amount of arsenic in drinking water supplies and I anticipate covering this story in more detail in an upcoming issue.
