Renewable Energy, LID on Environmental Agenda
02/05/2013 by Kirk Ross
RALEIGH — Some hot-button issues will grab headlines during the first couple of weeks of the new legislative session, which began in earnest when the N.C. General Assembly convened last night. "Reforming" unemployment benefits and passing voter ID are among the top issues that the Republicans who dominate the legislature are likely to consider first. But what about the environment? What environmental issues are likely to come up this session?
We talked to various leaders of state environmental organizations to get their sense of the lay of the land, and we present here a short list of likely issues.
It was clear in our conversations that no one is expecting great things from this legislature in the form of landmark laws to protect the environment. In fact, most of the groups that advocate for environmental protection in the legislature will continue to play defense, as they have the past two sessions, defending as best they can the protections already in place and trying to ward off the worst bills that erode them.
Gov. Pat McCrory
A major unknown in this strategy is the new Republican governor, Pat McCrory. Since Republicans took over the legislature two years ago, environmental groups knew they could petition Gov. Beverly Perdue, a Democrat, to veto what they thought were bad bills. She didn't always do as they asked, but the mere threat of a veto probably tempered the language and scope of several bills. No one knows how McCrory will react when asked. He was considered a moderate while he was mayor of Charlotte, championing mass transit, for instance, and is supporting the federal government's development of offshore wind energy. From those hooks, some environmental leaders hang their hopes that McCrory can be a moderating influence on the legislature.
"That was encouraging," Elizabeth Ouzts, executive director of Environment North Carolina, said of McCrory's positive comments on offshore wind. "North Carolina has more offshore wind potential than any other Atlantic state."
It was also clear in our conversations that state environmental groups are still struggling to develop a legislative strategy that has some traction among Republicans. Passing environmental laws has never been easy in North Carolina, even when Democrats ran things all those years. Most were fairly conservative guys and they didn't trip over themselves in the rush to sponsor protective measures. But neither did most modern Democrats, anyway, have a visceral distaste for environmental regulations. They could be persuaded to back new rules. To most of these new Republicans, however, government regulations, especially those of the environmental variety, are impediments to job growth and thus must be trimmed, weakened or abandoned.
Regardless of how true that is, you've got a hard, if not impossible, sell if you're advocating for more or better rules, especially with the state unemployment rate hovering around 9 percent.
So we didn't hear anything about new laws and regulations. Instead, the leaders of environmental organization are trying to find ways to appeal to Republicans' desire for job growth while still satisfying environmentalists' protection goals.
Representatives of 13 of the state's environmental organizations stated that desire in a Jan. 23 letter to McCrory.
"It's going to be a very challenging year to say the least," said Brian Buzby, executive director of the N.C. Conservation Network.
Money and Jobs
Brian Buzby
Will Republican budget-makers continue to take an axe to environmental departments and programs? The N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the N.C. Clean Water Management Trust Fund and other departments and programs have already been cut to the bone. The department has seen its budget halved in the past five years. The trust fund, with a yearly funding set at $100 million annually when created in the mid-1990s, is now on tenuous ground and is getting only a tenth of that. Trust funds for the Natural Heritage Program and state parks lands as well as dedicated money for water infrastructure have also been tapped to fill gaps elsewhere in the state budget.
"The big question will be what happens to land conservation," Buzby said.
In an atmosphere where nearly every decision will be weighed in how it affects job-creation and the economy, Buzby said environmentalists will try to make the case that the water and conservation funds have a positive effect on the economy.
"There's a big economic impact," he said. "Every county in this state benefits from the Clean Water Management Trust Fund."
Another part of the case to be made, he said, is that the state's conservation funds draw federal and private matches. "They leverage extra dollars, preserve our resources and are good for the environment," Buzby said.
And with the governor readying his first biennial budget, the letter from the environmental groups includes a direct appeal to restore funding to the state's environmental department. The agency, the letter warns "is currently failing to meet mandatory obligations under federally delegated environmental programs."
A small budget surplus is being forecast this year.
Buzby said the DENR budget and what kind of funding goes into clean water and conservation will be a key indicator of the governor's priorities.
In addition to joining the push for the clean water trust fund other conservation funds, the N.C. Coastal federation will also look for some help reviving fisheries habitat projects that were first cut deeply by the Perdue administration and then all but ended by the General Assembly. These too, will be pitched as an economic and environmental win-win, said Todd Miller, the federation's executive director.
Molly Diggins
Elizabeth Ouzts
The federation, he said, will also closely monitor possible laws that will weaken the hard-fought coastal stormwater rules and other regulations critical to the coast.
In an effort to ease the regulatory burden of business and thus theoretically create more jobs, the legislature passed several bills during the last two years that weaken environmental rules.
That seems to be the gist of a new bill introduced last week in the N.C. Senate. S 32, "Periodic Review and Expiration of Rules," would simply expire all existing state rules automatically at regular intervals, requiring a full rulemaking process from scratch to re-implement any regulation. Sen. Fletcher Hartsell, R-Cabarrus, is sponsoring the bill.
Health and environmental rules are singled out for special early attention. Rules in those areas would begin expiring first, with anything in those categories not adopted or amended since 2007 expiring at the end of 2016 or 2017.
"If nothing else," noted the N.C. League of Conservation Voters in an email to members, "this approach would require regulatory agencies such as DENR to spend so much of their shrinking resources on trying to maintain minimal controls on water and air pollution that any affirmative effort to improve public health protections would be permanently choked off."
While wary of an ongoing effort to "gut environmental rules," Miller said, having worked on habitat related projects that required state permits, Miller said there's no doubt that the process could be more streamlined.
"We have some ideas to offer on how projects are permitted," he said. "There can be more efficiency."
On the policy side, organizations are gearing up for a fight over the state's renewable energy requirements set out in 2007's Senate Bill 3. The bill mandates a ramp-up in the use of renewable sources by investor-owned electricity producers requiring a rise from the current 3 percent to 6 by 2015 and 12.5 percent by 2021.
For Ouzts and Molly Diggins, executive director of the N.C. chapter of the Sierra Club, saving the renewable requirements and related policies such as solar energy tax credits will be a major focus of the session.
Ouzts said it's clear there will be an effort to change the policies. Rep. Mike Hager, R-Rutherford, who chairs the House Public Utilities Committee, announced in late November he was committed to a bill that could freeze or possibly even rollback the renewable standards.
"This is going in the wrong direction," Diggins said. "Rather than rolling back or freezing the standards we should double them… Our top priority is to protect the policies on alternative energy."
The solar industry in North Carolina provides thousands of job and is on the verge of not needing subsidies.
The strategy of defending the program also includes making an economic case. The solar tax credit, Diggins said, is an example of a clean energy program that is creating jobs in the state. A drastic change in the incentives, she warned, could reverse that trend.
"The solar industry is well on its way to not needing incentives," Diggins said. "But they're not there yet and there's a risk of stalling out the progress they're making."
Diggins said attempts to change the state's energy policies are being driven in part by outside groups such as the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a conservative advocacy organization funded in part by petroleum interests, which has been pushing model legislation to undo renewable energy requirements in several states.
That's disappointing, she said, given the state's efforts in the past. "North Carolina has had a history of leadership," Diggins said.
Low-Impact Development
The N.C. Coastal Federation will also continue its push for the state to follow the federal government's lead and adopt low-impact development practices for state construction projects. Miller said the concept's "back to basics" approach to developing a site could have an appeal because it's less costly and relies more on a site's natural hydrology rather than expensive centralized systems.
Virginia Uranium Mining
Buzby noted several key areas where legislators and the environmental community can find common ground. He cited the recent actions by the legislature's Environmental Review Commission, which during the interim between the election and the start of the session, came out against a plan by Virginia to lift a moratorium against uranium mining, a move that would have put the Roanoke River watersheds in North Carolina in jeopardy. Virginia legislators have since since shelved the plan.
"We saw that as a real positive step," Busby said.
He also pointed to a likely shift in transportation policy that could lead to the end of the proliferation of large loop roads and bypasses that was begun in the 1980s. Several of the planned routes that run through critical habitats simply aren't high priorities and could be cut.
"We have some common interests," Buzby said. "They can save transportation resources and do something for the environment."

Vietnam's Vingroup forms new entity called Vinpearl Air

Vietnamese conglomerate Vingroup confirmed Tuesday it had established Vinpearl Air Aviation JSC, a Hanoi-based company operating in the aviation sector.
Vinpearl Air Aviation has a charter capital of VND1.3 trillion (US$56 million) and a headquarters based at the Vinhomes Riverside urban area in Long Bien District.
Formerly VinAsia Development Service and Trading JSC, Vinpearl Air acquired its current trading name on May 29, 2019 after registering for a name and line of business (LOB) change with the Hanoi Department of Planning and Investment.
VinAsia Tourism Development JSC, another arm of Vingroup, holds a 45-percent stake at Vinpearl Air, while entrepreneurs Hoang Quoc Thuy and Pham Khac Phuong hold a 30-percent and 25-percent stake at the company, respectively.
Phuong is a veteran executive at Vingroup while Thuy ran a now-defunct company that was one of the group's major stakeholders.
An announcement on VinAsia Development Service and Trading JSC's change of name and line of business to Vinpearl Air Aviation JSC.
Vingroup also announced Tuesday is working with the CAE Oxford Aviation Academy to establish the VinAviation School and Vinpearl Air Training Centre in Vietnam, with enrollment expected to open this August.
Under a deal signed between Vingroup and the academy, the VinAviation School is designed to train pilots and technicians meeting standards set by the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) as well as by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the International Aviation Safety Assessment (IASA).
Meanwhile, the Vinpearl Air Training Centre will offer training for regular level upgrade of pilots, machinists, flight operators, and flight attendants, among others.
The collaboration with the CAE Oxford Aviation Academy follows Vingroup's recently-inked cooperation pact with CAE Inc., a Canadian manufacturer of simulation and modeling technologies and training services to airlines.
Per the pact, the sides set goal to annually provide 400 qualified pilots and technicians for the Vietnamese aviation market. Vingroup vice chairman and general director Nguyen Viet Quang said the company aims to tackle Vietnam's pilot shortage and export pilots overseas through the opening of its pilot school and training center.
Vietnam currently has five airlines in operation – Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet Air, Bamboo Airways, Jetstar Pacific Airlines, and VASCO.
Approval from the Vietnamese prime minister, after intensive evaluations from the Ministry of Planning and Investment and Ministry of Transport, is required for forming any new airline in the Southeast Asian country.
Vingroup has investments in multiple sectors including real estate development, retail, healthcare, hospitality, education, automobile manufacturing, scientific research and artificial intelligence development.
The conglomerate reported a consolidated revenue of VND122,575 billion ($5.28 billion) in 2018, up 37 percent from the previous year.

That's what she said!
I was thinking about The Office. I love that show and watch it at every opportunity. I watch reruns again and again. It's like the horrifying crash scene that you can't turn away from, and seeing it makes you so grateful that, for the moment, you're safe. But I know that work places like the one portrayed in the show actually exist, and anyone could unknowingly stumble into such a situation as a new employee, like poor Erin.
Anyway, I was trying to measure Dunder Mifflin's Scranton office as a test bed for work place collaboration. My first thought was that it was the perfect example of discord and a complete absence of collaboration. But of course, on closer inspection it's easy to see that there is actually lots of collaboration happening. Pam and Jim collaborate to punk Dwight; the party planning committee collaborates to develop inappropriately themed events; the warehouse staff collaborates to intimidate Michael; the office staff collaborates to mollify Michael. But none of these collaborations, though endlessly entertaining, furthers the mission of the organization. So when is collaboration not a good thing? When it's actually collusion. So The Office turns out to be a great example of this distinction. I knew I'd find some redeeming value in this morbid addiction!
Share your favorite Office example of collusion. C'mon, it's not that hard!

Cinematic complexion and "feeling" colour: The Wrestler
I have explained in my previous posts the significance of cinematic colour complexion to aid the spectator's ability to "feel" films. You can read my entire thesis on Aronofsky and phenomenology by following this link. Here I will illustrate this using the colour signature and colour barcode of Darren Aronofsky's fourth feature film, The Wrestler (2008). This signature and barcoding technique offers a concise visualisation of a film's dominant colours. The colour signature (the solid bar above the barcode) is a consolidation of all the colours used in a film and serves to distinguish a film's propensity to lean towards a particular hue. The signature is broken down into the RGB (red, green, blue) colour-space and the values represent the brightness of each hue (the higher the number the brighter the hue). The colour barcodes (below the colour signature) represents the colour of each frame in the film. Each frame has been captured and squeezed into a strand of colour. When the colours are placed side-by-side chronologically, the result reads like a colour barcode of the film. Starting from the beginning of the film at the left, the barcode can be read as a colour timeline and indicates the dominant colours for large portions of the film.
Upon initial inspection it would appear that The Wrestler employs minimal colour manipulation, due to its realist sensibilities. However, the intentionality of the film is still significantly expressed through its use of colour, in particular red and green. Of the five films studied, The Wrestler is clearly Aronofsky's most realistic in terms of story and setting, which is supported by an aesthetic that uses a more natural palette. The film's complexion is lighter than that of either The Fountain or Black Swan, although the colour barcode exhibits oscillating patterns of lighter and darker periods. The latter are often representative of Randy's life outside of the ring and are located at the seedier or more depressing moments in the narrative, such as Randy's trailer park home, the strip club, and Randy's troubled moments with his daughter, Stephanie. The colour signature indicates a dominant green hue that reflects Randy's work-place in and around the wrestling ring, whereas his life outside of the ring often contains a higher instance of the red hue. Perhaps the most notable example is the strip club where Cassie (Marisa Tomei) works, which is heavily saturated with red. This colour is diametrically opposed to the green hue, largely associated with Randy's life as a wrestler. What is evident is the play between green and red, where red codifies Randy's life outside the wrestling ring and green codifies his life inside the ring; red is also the dominant hue in the darker periods and green is dominant in the lighter. Furthermore, the concluding chapter of the film combines the two colours as Randy's two worlds come together. The ensuing muddy green/red hue is a colourific manifestation of the film's final concern. This final mélange expresses the anguish over Randy's decision to wrestle despite his heart condition; hence red or green equates to stop or go, to wrestle or not. Phenomenologically, the bringing together of these diametrically opposed colours provokes an anxiety in the cinesthetic subject that matches the film's ambiguous ending, where the spectator is left to decide whether Randy suffers a second and fatal heart attack or goes on living.

Q: How to get the same xhr post response data in another html page? Im doing maven rest web application using dojo and java. im newbie to dojoscript
While im submitting the form using xhrpost im getting the particular response objects from the service method into that particular xhrpost function itself so i need to call that xhrpost data to other html pages how can i do that..? im doing login module so i need to display username in all pages which im getting response in xhrpost function..?
this is my dojoscript
    dojo.xhrPost({
    url: "http://localhost:8080/userservices/rest/rest/login",

form: dojo.byId("formNode"),

load: function(newContent,status) {

if(status.xhr.status == 200)
{

alert(newContent); --->which displays username
  window.location.href = "jobseekerdashboard.html";
      }

im getting newContent as my username but i need to display this in some html page how can i do this..?
Kindly help any help will be appreciated more
Thanks
Fiyas

A: You can store the required values in session and retrieve it in all pages wherever required. Say suppose, you want to show the username in all pages when the user is logged in, then this will help
//set the value in your server side
session.setAttribute("userName",userName);

and get the value of the 'userName' attribute from session and show it in jsp.
You can use EL, which is prefered in JSP.
<c:out value="${sessionScope.userName}"/>

For your comment, you can add the username in the response to the querystring like
if(status.xhr.status == 200)
{

alert(newContent); --->which displays username
  window.location.href = "jobseekerdashboard.html?user="+newContent;
      }

then, you can get the parameter from the request url query string using a javascript function. In your case, you just send a single parameter. i.e username
so, your url would be http://localhost:8080/application/jobseekerdashboard.html?user=sam
To get the value of user parameter in the query string, you can do invoke split() on location.search like this below
var username = location.search.split('user=')[1];

thus,username value is sam and you can use it in the new page. if you have more parameters in the querystring, you need to implement a different javascript function.

Evening I recently bought a second hand egx-20. Being vey new to computer engraing i'm not too sure.
After reading the instructions I managed to engrave 3 items. Setting the Origin point on all 3 Just as it stated in the instructions. I now switch the machine on The power led lights up after a few seconds the View light lights. Pressing the View button the cutter moves as far left as it can the bed comes along and it all aligns (just like it should I think). I then use the joystick controller and move the bed and the cutter left to right forward and back fine, Pressing the joystick button and the axis light lights up but pressing down to lower the cutter to set the Origin and nothing happens. Press the origin button and it goes down fine to allow the cutter change.
If I then reset the whole machine and go to computer and Dr engrave stick a word in and set the engraver off it engraves away happily, all be it at the same origin.
Any ideas were Im going wrong?
Make sure that the XY origin position is set to the bottom left hand side of the bed.
If you press the joystick in it will be setting the Z position not the XY.
Now I cant move the z axis at all even when I press the origin button nothing happens?. The machine engraves ok.
Have you replaced the Joystick board, it does sound electrical, could be the joystick board or possibly the main board, or cable between the both.
It is strange that it does function correctly other wise, so I doubt the main board but this would have to be confirmed.
I will look into both or all 3. Is there a service download?, Also are you able to supply part numbers Kai. Were I can buy the parts Online. I may as well buy the 3 if not too expensive.
You can order direct from us on 01275 335540 or from Mastergrave.

SEC Proposed Amendments to Auditor Independence Rules Could Benefit Private Equity and Investment Companies, IPOs and M&A Transactions
Features,	Insights,	Securities Laws,	What's New on the Watch?
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently proposed amendments to its auditor independence rules which, if adopted, will provide greater flexibility for auditor relationships and services that technically would have triggered breaches of the current rules (even though they do not pose a threat to an auditor's objectivity and impartiality). The SEC hopes that the amendments will reduce or remove certain practical challenges associated with the auditor independence analysis, ease compliance burdens of audit firms and issuers, facilitate initial public offerings, and increase the number of qualified audit firms that companies could select. Certain of the proposed changes reflect codifications of existing SEC staff views. The SEC release proposing the amendments to the independence framework in Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is available here, and the SEC's press release is available here.
Portfolio Companies – Adding a Materiality Qualifier to the "Up and Over" Provision
One of the most significant amendments proposed is a change to the definitions of "audit client" in Rule 2-01(f)(4), and "investment company complex" in Rule 2-01(f)(14), to address affiliate relationships that may technically violate the independence rules but typically have not posed a threat to an auditor's independence in the SEC staff's experience. These amendments may be particularly beneficial for entities in complex organizational structures such as private equity funds and investment companies where, under the current rules, acquisitions, dispositions and/or changes to portfolio companies create significant practical challenges and monitoring burdens with respect to potentially independence impairing relationships and services.
Under the current rules, entities under common control with the audit client ("sister entities") are considered affiliates and fall within the definition of audit client to which an independence analysis must be performed, even when those affiliates are not material to the controlling entity (and each entity in an investment company complex is considered an affiliate when the audit client is part of the complex). The SEC's press release presents the following example involving affiliated portfolio entities to illustrate concerns with the current rule that the proposal seeks to address:
Example: Fund F invests in dozens or hundreds of companies around the globe, including Company X, a US-based portfolio company. Audit Firm A is the auditor of Company X. Two of Audit Firm A's global network affiliates provide certain short term non-audit services (e.g., staffing and payroll) to two separate portfolio companies of Fund F, Company Y and Company Z, who have no relation to each other or to Company X, except that Fund F is invested in each Company. Company Y and Z are not material to Fund F.
Under the current auditor independence rules, if Company X wants to conduct an IPO, Audit Firm A would not be independent of Company X because the non-audit services provided to either Company Y or Z are impermissible. In this circumstance, Company X, seeking to accomplish the IPO, would need to find a new auditor (if an independent one is available with the appropriate capability and expertise), delay the offering for up to three years (due to the current "look-back" requirement for IPOs – see proposal below), or obtain favorable interpretative guidance from the SEC staff. The foregoing scenario has been presented to the staff a number of times, and the staff generally has not objected to the accounting firm serving as the independent auditor. The staff has found that audit firms providing services to, or having relationships with, sister entities not material to the controlling entity do not typically present issues with respect to the audit firm's objectivity or impartiality. According to the SEC press release, the impact of the current auditor independence rules on auditor choice (or a lack thereof) is underscored by this fact pattern and has increased significantly as the "asset management industry has grown, investments have become more global and the global audit services ecosystem has consolidated and become more specialized."
The amendments would add a materiality qualifier to the definition of "affiliate of the audit client" in Rule 2-01(f)(4)(i)(B) and for entities under "common control" with an investment company under Rule 2-01(f)(14). Accordingly, as it relates to entities under common control, the proposed amendment includes as affiliates of the audit client only sister entities that are material to the controlling entity for the auditor independence analyses. Consequently, the proposal, if adopted, may reduce the number of entities that fall within the definition of affiliate of the audit client, thereby reducing burdens and providing more flexibility, as in the example above where, when consulted, the SEC staff did not object to the relationship. However, according to the proposing release an "immaterial" determination by the auditor does not conclude the analyses. The auditor and audit client must consider "all relevant facts and circumstances" pursuant to the general independence standard in Rule 2-01(b).
Initial Public Offerings – Shortening the Look-back Period to One Year from Three Years
Separately, proposed amendments to Rule 2-01(f)(5)(iii) are expected to provide a significant benefit to U.S. companies seeking to conduct an IPO for the first time. The proposed amendments to the definition of "audit and professional engagement period" would reduce the look-back period in which a company must establish auditor independence before an IPO from three years to one year (in conformity to the rules for foreign private issuers). Given that an IPO is generally planned with sufficient time to address prohibited relationships, according to the SEC, the one-year look back period will provide a significant amount of flexibility to companies seeking to conduct an IPO.
M&A Transactions – Providing a Transition Framework for Inadvertent Violations
The proposed amendments also address potential auditor independence violations in corporate transactional scenarios such as mergers and acquisitions, where prohibited services or relationships that are the basis for the violation were not prohibited before the consummation of the transaction. An example presented in the SEC release is as follows:
"For example, an audit firm could have an existing audit relationship with an issuer that acquires another company for which the audit firm was not the auditor but provided services or had relationships that would be prohibited under Rule 2-01. . . . [T]he acquisition would cause what had been permitted non-audit services or relationships to become prohibited non-audit services or relationships in violation of the auditor independence rules when the prohibited services or relationships occurred within the audit or professional engagement period as defined in Rule 2-01(f)(5). . . . The prospect of auditor independence issues arising as a result of a corporate acquisition transaction can have an adverse effect on the audit client, as it may result in the termination of audit work midstream or termination of the non-audit service that is in progress in a manner that is costly to the audit client. Alternatively, it could result in a delay of a merger or acquisition while the auditor and its audit client attempt to resolve the potential independence matters."
The SEC proposes a transition framework to address these types of inadvertent independence violations. An accounting firm's independence will not be impaired because an audit client engages in a merger or acquisition that gives rise to a relationship or service that is inconsistent with the independence rules, provided that the accounting firm:
is in compliance with applicable independence standards from inception of the relationship or service;
corrects the independence violations arising from the merger or acquisition as promptly as possible (and in no event later than six months post-closing); and
has in place a quality control system to monitor the audit client's M&A activity and to allow for prompt identification of potential independence violations before closing.
Other Proposed Amendments
The proposed amendments also (1) add certain student loans and de minimis consumer loans to the categorical exclusions from independence-impairing lending relationships, recognizing that not all creditor or debtor relationships threaten an auditor's objectivity and impartiality, (2) replace the reference to "substantial stockholders" in the business relationship rule with the concept of beneficial owners with significant influence, and (3) implement other miscellaneous updates.
The public comment period will remain open for 60 days following publication of the SEC proposing release in the Federal Register.
Audit Committee's Critical Role in Auditor's Compliance with the Auditor Independence Rules
On the same day as the SEC proposal was released, the SEC Chairman, Chief Accountant and Director of the Division of Corporation Finance, issued a "Statement on the Role of Audit Committees in Financial Reporting and Key Reminders Regarding Oversight Responsibilities," available here. Among other important reminders, the statement is a reminder to audit committees of their vital role in the financial reporting system through their oversight of financial reporting, including oversight responsibilities concerning auditor independence, as well as internal control over financial reporting (ICFR). In particular, the statement encourages the audit committee to consider periodically the sufficiency of the auditor's and the company's monitoring processes. The admonition in the statement that "[a]mong other items, these processes should address corporate changes or other events that could affect auditor independence (e.g., changes or events that may result in new affiliates or business relationships) and facilitate the timely communication of these events and changes to the audit firm" appears to tie to the transition framework for M&A activity described above.

About the violin sounds.... In late 2000 I was in Prague with the Infernal Noise Brigade to block the meeting of the World Bank/ IMF.
From Prague I aimed for Istanbul, by train with with many stops along the way. First a visit with friends in Budapest, detoxing from the tear-gas by spending full days in the bath houses like Szechenyi Furdo, floating around with wrinkled geriatrics. I missed my onward train to Bucarest (Romania) because I forgot to record the door noise of the street trolleys, and ran out of the station at the last minute to record a�metro door buzzer (listen).


Everyone's realizing the power of the "enhanced web" and is integrating it into their site, including larger corporations. A prime example of this is some new functionality that Old Naxy has added to their site.
To check it out, simply browse on over to a section of the site and mouseover one of the products. A "Quick Look" icon will appear on top of the item and, when clicked, will create a "popup" on the page with the details of that item. The interface allows you to change the item's options (color of the shirt, quantity, etc) and add it directly to your shopping cart. The window can even be moved around for even more flexibility.
This is a prime example of using Ajax and Web 2.0 methods and technologies to enhance an experience people are already use to – shopping online. The added benefit here is keeping the rest of the items in the storefront visible while keeping the customer informed and in charge.
Actually it's been up for a really long time, probably since late last Summer.
The preview stuff is kind of neat, but there was a lot of iframe "navigation" noise in IE. Not sure if they're just using a remote loading approach for compatibility, or if there's actual XHR going on.
When Gap first put this on their site, they did a "beta" test by simply only showing the changes to people who got to the site by typing in "gap.com". Anyone using the "www.gap.com" subdomain got the normal site. I wonder what percentage of users don't go to the "www." version? Must have been small enough for them to want to test it that way, but large enough to get a feel for site performance as well as user experience.
It's also a prime example of technology released before it should have been. They locked out safari users for months when the new site was released, and I don't think they have fixed the problem. Thats 6-12% of their market gone just like that. If you don't really that 10% of people don't get to hear your message, you don't care enough about your message.
Wesley: Safari users are 6-12%? How do you figure? The most recent stats from TheCounter.com (probably the most diverse broad set available to the public–i.e., they do not favor one specific subset of users) have Safari at 2%. 6-12% is just a dream.
There is some new stat out i saw on a blog, all this web 2.0 is taxing bandwidth and server cpu usage to the point where developers are questioning its longevity.
I must wait till I'm back at the office and look through my email.
The new Old navy site seems slower.
again, what world do you live in….
No real XHR requests going on? Sounds like you're too much of a stickler for the literal interpretation of AJAX.
It's not surprising, though, to see e-commerce businesses adopting AJAX and related technologies. Their credibility depends on it.
Anywhere we can customisable scripts?
Safari certainly seems to work with this function to me. Not sure if they updated the code, or whether Safari has been updated to work with such code. Good thing, Old Navy is a merchant I advertise on my site and wouldn't want them to be unfriendly to macaholics such as myself.
I'd like to code something similar. Anyone have a tutorial on how this is actually coded?
Y'all have way too much time on your hands . . .

Q: Python Idle and KeyboardInterrupts KeyboardInterrupts in Idle work for me 90% of the time, but I was wondering why they don't always work. In Idle, if I do
import time
time.sleep(10)

and then attempt a KeyboardInterrupt using Ctrl+C, it does not interrupt the process until after sleeping for 10 seconds.
The same code and a KeyboardInterrupt via Ctrl+C works immediately in the shell.

A: A quick glance at the IDLE source reveals that KeyboardInterrupts have some special case handling: http://svn.python.org/view/python/tags/r267/Lib/idlelib/PyShell.py?annotate=88851
On top of that, code is actually executed in a separate process which the main IDLE gui process communicates with via RPC.  You're going to get different behavior under that model - it's best to just test with the canonical interpreter (via command line, interactive, etc.)
============
Digging deeper...
The socket on the RPC server is managed in a secondary thread which is supposed to propagate a KeyboardInterrupt using a call to thread.interrupt_main() ( http://svn.python.org/view/python/tags/r267/Lib/idlelib/run.py?annotate=88851 ).  Behavior is not as expected there... This posting hints that for some reason, interrupt_main doesn't provide the level of granularity that you would expect: http://bytes.com/topic/python/answers/38386-thread-interrupt_main-doesnt-seem-work
Async API functions in cPython are a little goofy (from my experience) due to how the interpreter loop is handled, so it doesn't surprise me.  interrupt_main() calls PyErr_SetInterrupt() to asynchronously notify the interpreter to handle a SIGINT in the main thread.  From http://docs.python.org/c-api/exceptions.html#PyErr_SetInterrupt:

This function simulates the effect of
  a SIGINT signal arriving — the next
  time PyErr_CheckSignals() is called,
  KeyboardInterrupt will be raised

That would require the interpreter to go though whatever number of bytecode instructions before PyErr_CheckSignals() is called again - something that probably doesn't happen during a time.sleep().  I would venture to say that's a wart of simulating a SIGINT rather than actually signaling a SIGINT.

A: See This article:
I quote:

If you try to stop a CPython program
  using Control-C, the interpreter
  throws a KeyboardInterrupt exception.

It makes some sense, because the thread is asleep for 10 seconds and so exceptions cannot be thrown until the 10 seconds pass. However, ctrl + c always work in the shell because you are trying to stop a process, not throw a python KeyboardInterrupt exception.
Also, see this previously answered question.
I hope this helps!


Larry Vickers is at ISS and showing off weapons.
Larry sure has slimmed down. And they stuck poor Chen in the background.
SMG Lee should always be front and center!
And part 2 is up.
- ISS' armorers are a bit frustrated that the Colt .38 machine pistol from "Public Enemies" didn't get more screen time, given the effort that went into finding a historically accurate gun and doing the mods.
- The S&W 4506s from "Training Day" (used by Denzel Washington) are the same ones later used in "The Shield" (used by Michael Chiklis).
- The Mark 18 Mod 0 from "American Sniper" was built on an XM16E1 lower receiver from a batch of AR lowers that is so old that ISS is now taking them out of rental circulation (which Larry Vickers says will "haunt" him).

Oregon company makes a point of hiring ex-convicts

About one in three of the more than 300 employees at Oregon-based Dave's Killer Bread has a criminal background. - Courtesy, Dave's Killer Bread
By Jacob Lewin - Marketplace
A major effort is under way in this country to reform the way we sentence drug criminals. Thousands of felons are getting early release according to the U.S. Sentencing Commission, and that will continue for years to come.
The question is, will there be jobs for them?
If you visit the bakery at Dave's Killer Bread outside Portland, you'll find pumps sucking two-thousand pounds of ingredients into mixing bowls. You'll also find that a third of the company's 300 employees have a criminal past, including plant manager Ronnie Elrod.
"We're just so happy to have a job that typically we've got an attitude of gratitude rather than a sense of entitlement. And we also know that opportunities are going to be hard to come by for us so we have to take those opportunities that come along and we really have to make good on them," Elrod said.
And Harvard sociologist Devah Pager believes that's true. She is studying the job performance of ex-cons in the military. "Those with serious criminal pasts perform just as well if not better than their counterparts with no criminal records. At least with appropriate kinds of screening, individuals with serious criminal records can perform very well in the workplace," she said.
Another of Pager's studies shows that a criminal record seriously reduces the chances of getting a job. "I hired groups of young men to pose as job applicants and sent them all over the city applying for jobs and half the time they reported having a felony conviction and simply by checking that box, their chances of receiving a call-back or job offer were cut in half," Pager said.
Dave's Killer Bread has hired so many ex-convicts because, well because of Dave...Dave Dahl, that is. After serving 15 years for drug crimes, Dahl returned to his family's bakery and in 2005 created his namesake bread. "It was based on the epiphany I had in prison which was that I could turn my own life around and eventually the feeling was that we could help others to do the same thing if they were willing to do most of the work themselves," Dahl said.
The company uses its hiring practices as a selling point, with Dahl's picture on every package, even though a judge put him on conditional release after he rammed into some police cars two years ago.
This year Dave's Killer Bread was sold to Flowers Foods for $275 million.

Q: Embed Python's grpcio module into a Bazel project I tried several different ways to embed the Python grpcio module into my Bazel project but unfortunately, none of them works correctly.
As far as I know, Bazel does not support injection of plugins into the Python environment (so you can directly run import grpcio). Note that Bazel does not support virtual-env and other tools (buildout...).
I found a way to include Pypi packages thanks to this proof of concept but unfortunately it does not work for grpc.io (environment variables are missing).
I am trying to debug the plugin, but I wonder if there is a better way to include grpcio module since the code is based on Bazel?

A: As Nathaniel mentioned in the comments, bazel support for gRPC Python is still work in progress.
However, pubref https://github.com/pubref/rules_protobuf offers rules for bazel that support gRPC for all languages (including Python). I have used them for Java and they worked very well.
There is also a gRPC blog post about those rules: http://www.grpc.io/blog/bazel_rules_protobuf

The Injustice Must End (T.I.M.E.)
Justice for Efrén Paredes, Jr.
Free Efren Orange Banner
Commutation Hearing for Efren Paredes, Jr.
by Terry Kelly
The Michigan Citizen
Justice has seldom found a welcome in Berrien County. No more so than with the case of Efren Paredes.
Arrested at age 15, sentenced to three life sentences at 16 and still in prison at 35, Paredes has declared his innocence from the beginning, struggled to clear his name in a case with no direct evidence and no eyewitnesses.
With the help of countless supporters he is seeking clemency from the governor, a process that began before the parole board at a hearing Dec. 4 in Jackson. It was an historic hearing, drawing the largest number of supporters ever, over 200, and ran an unprecedented nine hours.
"This case screams wrongful conviction," Paul Ciolino said in his testimony before the parole board. "The system is broken when it comes to this case."
Ciolino, a private investigator hired by the Paredes family and supporters, is a co-founder of the Northwestern Innocence Project in Chicago and part of a legal and investigative team that has helped release over 200 innocent prisoners across the country, with direct involvement in five cases of proving wrongful conviction.
In Paredes' case, Richard Tetzlaff, manager of Roger's Vineland Grocery, was found shot to death execution-style in the store's back room in 1989. On the night he was murdered and the store was robbed, Tetzlaff had earlier driven employee Paredes home from work.
Police and prosecutors who showed up in force for last week's hearing had accused Paredes almost immediately of the crime despite the youth's stellar record in school and out.
While three other Lakeshore High School youth admitted involvement in the store robbery, ranging from owning the gun used, to the car that was driven, only Paredes maintained innocence and denied participation. The others testified against him in exchange for reduced sentences.
Ciolino said that as in most cases of wrongful conviction the police and prosecutor focused on a single suspect early on and ignored other evidence and leads.
Paredes was the main suspect eight hours after the thing happened, Ciolino told the parole board, when there were five or six suspects.
Ciolino listed for the board the contradictory evidence, tainted evidence, missing evidence and bungling by the police.
At the hearing, police and prosecutors, attempting to rekindle much of the sensationalism of the 1989 trial, testified why in their mind Paredes was guilty and should not be returned to society.
Berrien County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Mike Sepic, who tried Paredes' case, told the parole board that lyrics from the NWA rap song "Eight Ball Posse," served as motivation for the police focus. Finding every word of the rap written out in Paredes' high school locker led law enforcement to believe they knew Paredes "state of mind"— for the police, Paredes was a gang leader.
Prosecuting Attorney Arthur J. Cotter read into the record every word of the song, expletives and "n"-words.
Ciolino reminded the board that Paredes had never been involved with a gang, as a student, or even as a young prisoner. He also took issue with the police effort to say the rap song was a "window into his mind."
A person's conduct and personal history is the best indicator of behavior, Ciolino told the board.
Scott Elliott, a longtime prison reform activist, who has spent over a decade trying to clear Paredes and who testified at the historic hearing, told the Michigan Citizen later that the show of force by county law enforcement was an indication of the weakness of their case.
"If reciting that rap lyric was the best that Cotter could come up with, it seems pretty pathetic. From the beginning they fabricated their case against Efren almost totally out of whole cloth. That was apparent at the hearing."
Parole Board members questioned Paredes about his trial and prison record. His answers were straightforward and persuasive.
Assistant Attorney General Charles Schettler was openly belligerent with Paredes, who kept his composure throughout the grilling as he detailed the flaws in the case against him.
Chair of the Parole Board, Barbara Sampson, warned Paredes at the beginning that in the view of the board he "was legally guilty" that he had been found so by a jury and a number of appeals had sustained the jury verdict.
Supporter after supporter testified to Paredes accomplishments. He has become a Braille translator and if released will establish his own business doing that work. Both the president of the Michigan Braille Association and his immediate supervisor testified to his superior work record, vision, knowledge and contributions.
Paredes would live in Battle Creek and not return to Berrien County, if released.
The members of the parole board who heard testimony Thursday will make a recommendation to the entire board which will then make a recommendation to Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who has the ultimate decision.
Sampson repeatedly emphasized that the parole board would make its recommendation on Paredes commutation to the governor based solely on his preparedness for release.

Geminis are born between May 22 and June 21. The first Air sign is Masculine, Mutable and Positive. Those born under the third sign of the zodiac are expressive individuals who possess excellent communication skills, due to the influence of their planetary ruler, Mercury, planet of communication.
The Twins can discuss anything under the sun and always seek an audience to listen to them. These people are adventurers who seek to go beyond ordinary limitations. Geminis match well with people who will understand their unpredictability and not hold them back.
People born between August 24 and September 22 fall under the sixth sign of the zodiac, Virgo. It is a Feminine, Mutable, Negative, Earth sign which is symbolized by the Virgin. Their ruler is Mercury, Winged Messenger of the Gods and the planet of communication.
Although Virgos are one of the most hardworking signs of the zodiac this sign is astrologically known as "the sign of service". They are known to be the most selfless of all the zodiac signs. Those born under this sign are reliable, observant, helpful, precise and attractive. On the flipside, they can be fussy, critical, judgmental and obsessive compulsive.
Virgos are secretive and very particular to what they reveal and conceal. Often misunderstood due to their aloofness, it takes time before people really get to see the sensitive and compassionate Virgo inside.
Virgos are in no hurry to be in a relationship and are quite content doing things on their own. Those born under this sign are very careful and selective of their partners. These people are often very reserved at first but once they are certain of their feelings, they become affectionate, loyal and devoted partners.
Gemini and Virgo are two mutable signs and both ruled by planet Mercury. Will these two people click on the grounds of their astrological connections or get tangled up in a web of personality differences? Read on to find out more.
The magnetic, flirty and witty Gemini man doesn't fall in love easily. He approaches love with his head and not with his heart. The twins seek someone who is can keep up with his pace and give him the right amount of space.
He values his freedom a lot so a Gemini man will not be tied down by any form of restriction. A perfect mate will be a lady who is practical, grounded and patient enough to tolerate his fleeting fancies. Spontaneity fuels this man so a lady who will give him a lot of space for his escapades will certainly earn a spot in his heart.
Shy and reserved Virgo woman earns a lot of admirers for her beauty and grace. It takes quite a while before this lady lets her guard down, one has to earn her trust and pass her qualifying tests.
Virgo women prefer organized approaches and well-planned routines so she is not the type to fall in love easily. Unpredictability throws her off guard and in love, she'd meticulously size up any potential mate.
Her tendency to be overly critical and fussy can be a little too much for others. She's very discerning when it comes to choosing a partner and when Ms. Perfectionist falls in love, she becomes very devoted and caring.
Gemini woman is always on the move, seeking for excitement. Routines do not have a sweet spot in her life. This lady has a lot of nervous energy to burn and wants to jump from one adventure to another, anytime and anywhere. A partner who is open minded and loves to travel will suit her. One who will not pin her down and restrict her desire to be out and about with friends.
A man must be truly patient and understanding to be able to have a lasting relationship with this quirky social butterfly. Life will never dull with a Gemini woman who will surely keep her partner guessing what she's up to next.
Reserved Virgo man keeps his emotions at arm's length all the time. He is very cautious and protective of his emotional sphere. Although one can engage him in intellectual conversations, he will not go past that level because queries regarding his personal life will make him too nervous to stay any longer.
This man is known to be a perfectionist, so when he is smitten he will carefully lay down a plan to woo and win his object of affection. On the downside, potential mates must be ready for some nitpicky moments and straightforward comments that may flare up a sensitive soul. In a commitment, this man will be loyal, devoted and expect the same from his lady love.
Gemini and Virgo are both mutable, making them highly adaptable to changes. These two are both ruled by Mercury, which symbolizes communication. They are on the same wavelength in matters of love, friendship and family and will be able to communicate ideas well.
However this relationship will be in for a roller coaster ride if both decide to take it to another level. Highly intuitive, Virgos have the ability to sense what is off about a person, and try to correct things by pointing out what needs to be improved. Although they mean well, the Twins will find this unsettling and constricting.
Air and Earth signs are two forces that will be difficult to reconcile. If ever they get involved, Virgo will be emotionally inaccessible to Gemini who may not be able to tolerate this kind of distance. The twins may just find the other too silent and puzzling for comfort and will choose to walk away rather than try to make things work.
My verdict, these two will get tangled up by their innate differences.

WHO TOPPED ARCHIVE'S RANKINGS?
BBH London comes out on top in Archive's agency rankings.
I don't know about you but towards the end of each year I tend to get a bit fed up with all these Best of the Year lists that jump out at you every time you open a magazine or go to any just about any website that deals with films and other forms of popular entertainment.
Either you read the same names everywhere or the writers try to impress you (and their peers) with their esoteric tastes, meaning you've never heard about the stuff they deem to be the year's supreme achievements.
Luckily for you, Lürzer's Archive doesn't need to do a Best of the Year in Advertising list. You can see it all there in our Online Ranking which is based on the number of campaigns by an agency published in the magazine over the past year. Since campaigns always come with creative credits (art, director, copywriter, photographer, illustrator, production company, commercials director, etc.) you can get quite a good view of the top talent in these disciplines.
Our subscribers can click on any of the names published in this Ranking where they are led to a page with the agency's or creative's contact details and a link to their work published. Our Ranking also allows you to find out the "best" of the past three years, five years, ten years, and even overall, (which means no less than the 28 years we've been around). I think this is a pretty unique feature for a magazine - at least I haven't seen anything like it in another publication for the creative ad industry.
We've had this Ranking on our website for more than ten years now, but only with the first issue of this year did we start to include creative directors as well. Now that the year with its six issues of Archive published is over, a look at the creative directors ranking reveals that the big winner in this category for 2012 was Jeremy Craigen of adam&eveDDB, London (also our interview partner in Volume 6/2012).
He was responsible for no less than 15 campaigns. This is an astonishing number and with it Jeremy leaves the competition far behind. In second place we find three creative directors with six campaigns each published over the past six issues of Archive: Luis Sanchez Junior of AlmapBBDO, Sao Paulo, David Kolbusz of BBH London, and Fernando Nobre of BorghiErh/Lowe, Sao Paulo.
BBH, London topped our agency Ranking once again – as it has done over most of the past 25 years - only ceding their number one position to German agency Jung von Matt in the five years ranking and sharing their top position with another London agency, RKCR/Y&R in 2011. Their work over 2012 included ads for Axe, British Airways, Audi and the Guardian.
You can check out who's on top of their game in art direction, copywriting etc. by clicking here. I would just like to mention the number one position in the photography ranking: It has been, forever held by the great Nadav Kander (he tops the overall, the ten years, five years, three years and last year ranking as the number one photographer).
In 2012, for the first time, Kander was overtaken by another: Belgian photographer Christophe Gilbert had lent his enormous talents to a total of eight campaigns that appeared between Vol. 1 and Vol. 6 of Archive in 2012. Fancy your chances with 2013's Rankings? Take a look at my previous post on making it onto the pages of our magazine.
All that sways the Archive Rankings is the quality of the work (as agencies and creatives don't pay a penny to submit their ads) so who knows what this new year has in store for us...
