There is an ongoing tussle in Osun state over which professional discipline should head the Primary Healthcare Development Board.
Osun State House of Assembly on Monday invited professional bodies and other stakeholders in the health sector to seek enlightenment, on who should be the Permanent Secretary of the proposed agency and Secretary of the board.
The state Chairman of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria, Mr Tiamiyu Sunmonu, recommended that the position should be left open for any professional in the healthcare delivery to occupy. He said this would give all the relevant professionals in the health sector a sense of belonging.
The Chairman, Nigeria Medical Laboratory Scientist, Mr. Wakeel Alade, said the position of Permanent Secretary was a career position, which not only medical doctors, but other professional bodies, as well, should be allowed to enjoy. According to him, no professional in the sector can do the work of healthcare service alone without the involvement of other professionals.
But the Chairman, Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), Dr. Suraj Ogunyemi, said the position should be left for medical doctors to ensure effective service delivery. He said in some other states where the law was in practice, doctors are the head of the agency.
Dr. Olatunji Babatunde of the Health Reform Foundation of Nigeria said that though, healthcare delivery was a teamwork, the training of medical doctors was all encompassing.
He said the position should be occupied by medical doctor, but with public healthcare training.
The Head of Service, Mr. Sunday Owoeye, said “It is not enough to possess the required training, but it must be backed up with character and ability to execute the policy of government effectively.”
So the question is: Who does the cap fit?

Ronny Deila won't punt Celtic's cash on risky signings and only wants to bet on sure things.
But the Parkhead manager has vowed to start putting down the club's money after so far limiting his captures to a free agent and three loan deals. Jason Denayer, Aleksander Tonev and Jo Inge Berget have all been brought in for a season, with the club securing options to buy on the last two.
Celtic fans have been less than impressed by the lack of money spent on filling the holes left by the departure of the likes of Fraser Forster and Georgios Samaras.
But the manager refuses to splash the cash just to buy approval, explaining they have looked at over 500 players in their quest to get the RIGHT men in.
"It's important in the beginning you don't take the biggest chances," said Deila, who has prioritised signing a striker.
"When you get players in on loan, you get the possibility to see them, and the chance to see your own team. When you know it is right, then you have to use the money."
Deila knows the value of not upsetting the dressing room and added: "There is a lot of money available.
"But if we buy a player for £10m, the salary will be four, five or six times what you get at Celtic. If you pay that, what will happen with the players here?"
Haitian midfielder, Jeff Louis, did tick all the boxes - as SportTimes first revealed in May.
But after agreeing a transfer fee with his club, Nancy, Louis chose to go to Standard Liege - even though they offered less money. Deila accepts such blows are part and parcel of the transfer game.
But he will not alter his initial plan to take his time to assess what is available in their price range - and avoid any panic buys.
Deila does hope to have one more player in to fill the wildcard spot available for inclusion in the squad to face NK Maribor a week tonight, a tie the Hoops expect to go ahead even though Legia Warsaw will have their appeal for reinstatement heard by Uefa today.
The manager explained: "We want to have players coming in, but you need to know that, when you use money, this is going to be a signing who is going to make the team better at once, or a very talented player we know we can get something out of."
But the indications are the serious spending will have to wait until after the games against Maribor, by which time they will know if they have the Champions League group stage money in the bank.
Deila is savvy enough to realise he will not have all of the £10m raised from the sale of Forster - who, he revealed was determined to make the move to Southampton -but does expect to be given a chunk of it to reinvest.
He said: "There's still a long time to go in the transfer window. I know there is money available. And, when I feel it's right to use it, I will use it."

New Delhi: The Central Government is facing the trouble of softening the economy. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has made several major announcements for the economy on Friday. Crude oil has declined. It is a pleasant message for the economy. U.S. crude oil fell more than 3 percent to 53.58 dollars a barrel after China announced a levy on U.S. products. Global benchmark Brent is more relevant to India.
Railways to step in stock market, will bring IPO
It has been two percent, or 1.19 dollars, to $58.75 a barrel. Oil prices have come down at the right time. It will further strengthen the steps that accelerate growth. The advantage of cheap oil is that it works by reducing the expenditure on import bills and subsidies. That is why the current account and inflation control helps. On the other hand, cheaper oil also increases demand, thereby reducing the cost of farmers. which use a set like diesel pump for irrigation.
Air India owes Rs 5,000 crore in fuel dues; hasn't paid in 230 days
If the subsidy is reduced, funds are left for social welfare schemes and infrastructure spending. This leads to an increase in economic activity. Earlier in 2014, when PM Modi was sworn in, India was paying 108 dollars for crude oil. But for the third year, the price fell to $48 a barrel. This gave the Modi government an opportunity to raise funds by raising taxes on fuel and increase spending on social sector schemes.

The Presidential Inauguration Committee has released lesson plans jointly produced by the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA) created to give teachers lesson ideas to help their students understand the historic significance of this presidential inauguration.
The instructional activities are designed to be used to teach students in three areas:
Discover the history of the inauguration and the connections between Obama and previous
Prepare students to witness the Obama inauguration
Follow the events during President Obama’s term
There is also a Reading List (click to download) which unfortunately and surprisingly provides no links to online materials that teachers could access for their students on demand.
I recommend reviewing these activities for use with your students. The Living History lessons provide good suggestions for activities students can do following the inauguration and includes ideas for technology-rich classrooms.

This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.
Rolestorming originated as part of creativity challenge with brainstorming. Griggs observed that during traditional brainstorming sessions people would either run out of ideas or self-limit themselves for fear of appearing too eager or risking ridicule.
Many people are embarrassed to volunteer creative ideas in a group. They are afraid that they will not be taken seriously. But it is these creative ideas that often make a fantastic contribution towards excellent solutions and with ‘out of the box thinking’ people bring about positive changes. It is therefore very important to stimulate employees to tap into their creative mental abilities and use these.
At a Distance
Griggs discovered that people are not so much ashamed of their creative expressions when they put forward ideas in the name of someone else. That is the reason why this has become the starting point of his role storming theory. By speaking for someone else, people are encouraged to participate actively during a brainstorming session and share their ideas with other people. In theory, they pose as someone else and they play another role. This is how they distance themselves from their own ideas and as a result they are able to discuss more freely.
Important Considerations Using Role Storming
Role storming is a simple way to have employees tap into their creativity and share this with a group without feeling embarrassed. It is extremely importance that during the role storming sessions, the roles are played in a respectful manner. When it concerns someone in the organization that people know well, this situation must be handled very carefully. There should not be any chance that certain character traits are used in a damaging manner and/or come to light in a damaging manner.
1. General brainstorming
By initiating regular, general brainstorming sessions, employees get used to thinking creatively. As a consequence, obvious ideas will receive more attention.
2. Identifying roles
By deciding in advance who takes on which role, it is easier for employees to identify with one another. A choice can be made from individual roles or collective roles. It goes without saying that this happens in consultation with the group of employees. The role that has been chosen must not refer a member in the group. In order to arrive at a good identification, it is considered advisable to have some information on the character. The role does not necessarily have to be associated with the problem that needs to be solved.
3. Putting oneself in someone else’s shoes
in order to relate to the role, it helps to focus on the chosen figure/character for a few minutes. The following questions could be helpful in this:
• What could this character’s personality be like?
• What is this character’s perspective of society?
• How would this character solve problems?
• What are this character’s strengths and weaknesses?
4. Role Storming
At this stage, everybody starts brainstorming together from their respective roles. From their new roles, they will feel free to suggest ideas and look at problematic situations from new and different perspectives. By speaking in the ‘I’ form they are encouraged to do so: “my character does not see a problem but an opportunity”. It is important that each participant gets an opportunity to speak during the role storming session.
When the sessions have produced insufficient creative ideas, it is advisable to repeat the entire procedure with various ‘new’ roles. In addition, continuity is important. For employees to get used to role storming, it is recommended to initiate such sessions at regular intervals.

Two years removed from Release the Panic, Red are back with Of Beauty and Rage, their fifth studio full length record and it\’s one that should catch the attention of their fans from the very onset of the first track.
Completed with the help of the fans themselves via Pledge Music, Red took a different approach to this record and it\’s one of their most mature records as well- and one of their darkest as well, lyrically and musically.
Everything about Of Beauty and Rage shows the darker side of Red- even the album cover, which shows a gray image of a masked figure standing in a wooded area with red leaves falling around it.
The album opens with a slow, haunting instrumental before exploding into “Imposter,” which sets the stage for what will soon become a dark, sinister, yet beautiful musical journey- hence the name of the album.
The album title says it all- this record is both full of rage yet exponentially beautiful at the same time. The string instruments and symphonic rock that was so prevalent on their first two albums is back and in full effect on Of Beauty and Rage, a presence that will be an instant winner with the Red faithful.
“Darkest Part” is one of the most dramatic tracks on the record and shows frontman Michael Barnes\’ vocals crying out like only Barnes can do while the ballad of “Of These Chains” is as powerful and dynamically gorgeous of a track as they\’ve recorded yet and the piano beginning will take fans back to “Pieces” from The End of Silence- as will a lot of the heavier tracks.
When it\’s all said and done, Barnes along with brothers Anthony and Randy Armstrong have stepped their game up in more ways than one. The first album without longtime drummer Joe Rickard and accompanied by a graphic novel, this is a new era Red at their best.


A charity dinner attended by more than 300 business people smashed its fundraising target by bringing in £40,000 for good causes.
Cash was raised for three charities at the fifth Wakefield Annual Charity Christmas Lunch (WACCL) event at the city’s Cedar Court Hotel.
Funds will be donated to Levi’s Star, which helps children with brain tumours, the young people’s Burns Club at Pinderfields Hospital and Theatre Royal Wakefield’s Youth Academy.
Organisers of last Thursday’s event, which included a champagne reception and three-course meal, said they were delighted to exceed their fundraising target of £32,000.
The fundraising included a single anonymous donation of £10,000, along with games, a raffle and auction at the dinner, which was oversubscribed or the first time in its history.
Ian Taylor, who chairs the Christmas lunch committee, said: “We always say that Wakefield is closed for business when the WACCL event is on and judging by the number of people that attended this year’s event, that was certainly the case.
“I think we were all overwhelmed by the generosity of the businesses in the room and we really cannot thank those that came along enough.
“This money will make a real difference to these charities, all of which work with young people in our district.
“I am very proud of what we have achieved but there is no resting on our laurels, our job now is to make next year even bigger and better.”

The president didn't even write or sign one executive order on the subject. And yet, the media keeps repeating the term. Even the original caption for the Getty Images photo used in this article said, "U.S. President Barack Obama signs a series of executive orders about the administration's new gun law proposals ... " That's not true.
Forbes published an article called "Here Are The 23 Executive Orders On Gun Safety Signed Today By The President". They list 23 sentences. Executive orders are usually several paragraphs and have the power to override Congress. A memorandum doesn't have that power.
David Weigel wrote an article for Slate that called out seven reporters, including himself, for referring to the three memorandums as executive orders.
Weigel wrote: "You know, I think the pre-game panic about the very idea of Obama 'signing executive orders' -- I think that got into our heads. The result, ironically, was that a lot of people learned that Obama did something very scary -- 23 ORDERs, above and beyond the will of Congress! -- that he didn't do, at all. If nominating an ATF director was done by 'an executive order,' the Senate wouldn't have to confirm him."
That was the right thing to do. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes and Weigel had the integrity to apologize for it. I don't recall Wolf Blitzer of CNN or Neal Cavuto of Fox News apologizing for their misstatements.
- "Engaging in Public Health Research on the Causes and Prevention of Gun Violence" - In it, Obama said that the Health and Human Services secretary "shall conduct or sponsor research into the causes of gun violence and the ways to prevent it." This memorandum is duplicated on the White House website and listed as a proclamation also.
- "Tracing of Firearms in Connection with Criminal Investigations" - In short, this tells the ATF and other federal agencies to do their jobs in a "timely and efficient manner."
- "Improving Availability of Relevant Executive Branch Records to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System" - This tells federal agencies to submit "relevant records" to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. It also creates a "NICS Consultation and Coordination Working Group" that is chaired by the attorney general and includes representatives from the Defense Department and Homeland Security.
In my opinion, it's all a lie perpetrated by the media and the government to make the president look good. He stood up there — with all those children who wrote him letters asking him to ban guns — and he never really did anything. He's actually, for the most part, powerless to do anything — it's up to Congress.

Women in Architecture
— 13 Jun 2018 by Charlotte Miller
Thinking today about the birthday of Millicent Fawcett, tireless campaigner for women’s suffrage, it would seem appropriate to highlight the imbalance of the employment of women in architecture.
Architecture is still a very male dominated environment – according to RIBA figures, women make up only 26% of registered architects. However, women are increasingly being recognised for their contribution to the field. The Venice Architecture Biennale was this year curated by Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara, founders of Grafton Architects. Although, this is only the second year in the Biennale’s sixteen year history not to have had a male director.
At the event a flash mob event took place to fight against discrimination in architecture. The manifesto read out by Martha Thorne, executive director of the Pritzker Prize stated:
"Women are not a minority in the world but women are still a minority in architecture's field. We want it to reflect better the world in which we live… We will not stand silent”
We wholeheartedly support these sentiments and we think it is essential to support women in architecture.
We are actively recruiting for Architects and are keen to continue to ensure women prosper in our industry.
Senior Architect Mark Raby said ‘Our practice has had several very successful female architects and designers over the years and we support development of professional skills and education.’
If you are a part 2 or 3 architect, have an interest in conservation and a desire to work in a supportive, collaborative environment we would love to hear from you.

This year has been one of huge adjustment. My life has been the most different it has ever been. Some days I grew, some days I cried, and some days I felt so guilty.
So many people told me that eventually I would feel grateful for the time I spent with The Momma at the end of her life. I had to get past the feelings of guilt and inadequacy, because I swear to you I was not perfect. I was human and I sometimes let the moment win.
But in the end, I have so much gratitude…I am BLESSITUDE…because I did everything I could possibly do and I did the best I could do at that time. I have grown so much.
The following is a reprint of a post/poem I had written about my mom in 2014. I offer it up as a gift to her…and to all daughters (and sons) who feel the same way.
Much love, and many blessings dear people. May you always feel love <3
You mean so much to me
it is hard to put symbols on the page that can match the intensity of my love
You are my friend
and you are the best kind because you don’t just tell me what I want to hear
but you love me unconditionally when I make the huge mistakes
mistakes you saw coming from a mile away
You are my teacher since before I can remember
but the best lessons I’ve learned from you
were the ones you taught by example
the example of strength & courage
the example of perseverance & adaptability
the example of creativity & resourcefulness
the example of integrity & honesty
the example of hospitality & kindness
the example of love & vulnerability
You walked with me through good times & bad
through pain & illness
joy & happiness
You took this ride with me
and there was never a time that I couldn’t find you
You have always been there
On this Mother’s day 2014, I honor the person who gave me birth…who gave me life. She is traveling in this earth school and has been given much to learn. She has faced true adversity and come out the other end a stronger, kinder, more loving individual. She is my rock, my stability, in a world that has not always been kind.
She is brave and she is a survivor in the truest sense of the word. I owe my decency to her. I owe my empathic nature to her. I owe my creativity to her. I owe, and dedicate my life to her. I love you Mom…
AND I MISS YOU SO MUCH

What Is the British Council, and Does It Still Serve a Useful Purpose?
Savage, Michael, The Independent (London, England)
The big question
Why are we asking this now?
Because the British Council has found itself at the centre of a diplomatic row after the Russian government ordered it to close two of its offices. It will be left with just the Moscow headquarters if it is forced to close the offices in St Petersburg and Yekaterinburg by the end of the year but a British Embassy spokesman said they had no intention of closing the two offices.
What did it do wrong?
The Russian foreign ministry says that the British Council has been operating illegally by breaking Russian tax laws. It says that as a profit-making operation, the council is subject to revenue taxes. The …

PC memory may use the following access methods:
Asynchronous DRAM , which was used in all PCs until the late 1990s, uses a window of fixed minimum duration to determine when operations may occur. If the CPU has transferred data while a window is open, and if a subsequent clock cycle occurs while that window remains open, the CPU cannot transfer additional data until the next window opens, thereby wasting that clock cycle. Asynchronous operation forces the CPU to conform to a fixed schedule for transferring data, rather than doing so whenever it wishes. Asynchronous DRAM is available in the following types:
FPM was commonly used on 486 and earlier systems, and may be installed in early Pentium systems. FPM is not supported by recent chipsets. Although you can migrate FPM DRAM from an old Socket 5 or Socket 7 system to a newer Socket 7 system, it is good for little else. You may be able to install surplus FPM DRAM in your laser printer.
EDO, also sometimes called Hyper Page Mode DRAM, is marginally faster than FPM, is still available in all common package types, and was commonly installed on new systems until late 1998. EDO DRAM now costs so much that it is often less expensive to replace the existing motherboard, processor, and memory with current products than to buy EDO memory. That said, you may be able to upgrade the memory in an EDO-based system economically. Many EDO-based systems can also use SDRAM DIMMs, which are faster, much less expensive, and much more readily available. To upgrade the memory in such systems, replace the existing EDO memory with compatible SDRAM DIMMs.
BEDO slightly improved upon EDO, but was inferior to SDRAM, which was introduced at about the same time, and so never became popular. If you have a BEDO-based system, follow the upgrade advice given for an EDO-based system.
All forms of asynchronous DRAM are now obsolete. Although asynchronous DRAM is still available, it costs so much per megabyte that it never makes sense to buy it. For example, in July 2003, the price per megabyte of asynchronous DRAM SIMMs was five to 25 times that of SDRAM DIMMs, depending on capacity and type.
Synchronous DRAM , also called SDRAM, shares a common clock reference with the CPU. No window is needed because the CPU and memory are slaved together, allowing the CPU to transfer data to and from memory whenever it wishes to do so, instead of requiring the CPU to await an arbitrary window. For links to formal SDRAM standards, see the Intel SDRAM Specifications page at http://developer.intel.com/technology/memory/pcsdram/spec/index.htm.
SDRAM takes one of the following forms:
Ordinary SDRAM, sometimes called JEDEC SDRAM or PC66 SDRAM to differentiate it from PC100 SDRAM and PC133 SDRAM. PC66 SDRAM was formerly less expensive than PC100 or PC133 SDRAM, but as the price of those faster variants declined to near that of PC66 SDRAM, the demand for PC66 SDRAM plummeted. PC66 SDRAM is now hard to find and may cost more than PC100 or PC133 SDRAM. Because PC133 SDRAM can be used on nearly any system running a 133 MHz or slower FSB, buying JEDEC SDRAM never makes sense, even for systems that run memory at 66 MHz. PC66 SDRAM salvaged from an older system can be used in any system that runs a 66 MHz FSB, including those running older-model Celeron or Pentium II processors.
SDRAM that complies with the Intel PC100 specification, and is rated for use on a 100 MHz FSB. Like PC66 SDRAM, PC100 SDRAM is obsolescent, and may actually cost more than faster PC133 SDRAM.
SDRAM that complies with the Intel PC133 specification, and is rated for use on a 133 MHz FSB. PC133 SDRAM costs little or no more than PC100 SDRAM, operates properly?although only at the lower speed?in nearly all systems designed to use PC66 or PC100 SDRAM, and is usually the best choice when you're buying SDRAM memory, even for a 66 MHz or 100 MHz FSB system. PC133 SDRAM is commonly available in two variants which vary only in CAS latency. CAS-3 PC133 SDRAM is the more common form, and is what you will receive if you do not specify otherwise. CAS-2 PC133 SDRAM has lower latency, is therefore slightly faster in a motherboard that can take advantage of it, and costs only a few cents more per megabyte.
PC133 SDRAM is obsolescent. Even entry-level systems now use some variant of DDR-SDRAM, described in the next section, so PC133 SDRAM is now useful only to upgrade older systems. In those systems, PC133 SDRAM provides memory throughput that is well matched to the bandwidth of the processor.
Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR-SDRAM) doubles the amount of data transferred per clock cycle, and thereby effectively doubles peak memory bandwidth. DDR-SDRAM is an evolutionary improvement of standard SDRAM, which is now sometimes called Single Data Rate SDRAM or SDR-SDRAM to differentiate it. Because DDR-SDRAM costs essentially the same to produce as SDR-SDRAM, it sells for about the same price.
The chips used to produce DDR-SDRAM DIMMs are named for their operating speed. For example, 100 MHz chips are double-pumped to 200 MHz, and so are called PC200 (or DDR200) chips. (We use the "PCxxx" speed nomenclature rather than the "DDRxxx" nomenclature for first generation DDR memory, although "DDRxxx" is also commonly used.) Similarly, chips that operate at 133 MHz are called PC266 chips, those that operate at 166 MHz are called PC333 chips, and those that operate at 200 MHz are called PC400 chips. (In fact, only PC200 and PC266 are formal standards, although memory makers produce so-called PC333 and PC400 chips based on de facto standards.)
Unlike SDR-SDRAM DIMMs, which are designated by their chip speeds, DDR-SDRAM DIMMs are designated by their throughput. Their data path is 64 bits (8 bytes) wide. So, for example, a DDR-SDRAM DIMM that uses PC200 chips transfers 8 bytes 200 million times per second, for a total throughput of 1,600 million bytes/second and is called a PC1600 DIMM. Similarly, DDR-SDRAM DIMMs that use PC266 chips are labeled PC2100, and those that use PC333 chips are labeled PC2700. Based on chip speed, PC2700 modules are actually PC2667, but no one uses that name. Some early DIMMs built with PC333 chips were labeled PC2600, but all memory makers now use the PC2700 designation for obvious reasons. DDR-SDRAM DIMMs that use PC400 chips are labeled PC3200.
PC2700 DDR-SDRAM is now the dominant mainstream memory technology, although the April 2003 introduction of the Intel 875P chipset has kickstarted the market for PC3200 memory. All mainstream AMD and Intel processors and chipsets now support PC2700 or faster DDR-SDRAM, and there is little reason to choose any slower type of memory. PC1600 DDR-SDRAM was economically obsoleted by mid-2002, when the price of PC2100 memory fell to the same level as PC1600. By early 2003, the same fate befell PC2100 memory, as the price of PC2700 memory fell to PC2100 levels.
By early 2003, the original DDR-SDRAM technology was fast approaching its limits. As AMD and Intel transition to higher FSB speeds, DDR-SDRAM will be hard-pressed to keep pace. Current DDR technology tops out at PC3200. Dual-channel DDR chipsets using PC3200 memory limit peak throughput to 6400 MB/s. That is sufficient for now, but as FSB speeds increase from 400 MHz to 533 MHz, 800 MHz, and beyond, even dual-channel DDR-SDRAM will be challenged to keep up with increases in processor bandwidth.
The long-term solution is DDR-II SDRAM. DDR-II incorporates a series of evolutionary improvements on DDR-I technology, including increased performance and bandwidth, reduced cost, lower power consumption, and improved packaging. DDR-II basic device timing and page size are compatible with DDR-I, and because the DDR-II command set is a superset of the DDR-I command set, a DDR-II controller can also control DDR-I modules.
DDR-II DIMMs use a new 232-pin connector, and it is likely that DDR-I modules will be produced with that connector to facilitate the transition from DDR-I to DDR-II modules. DDR-II chips will initially ship in DDR400 and DDR533 variants, which will be used to produce PC3200 and PC4300 DDR-II DIMMs. We expect that DDR-II will eventually be produced in DDR600, DDR667, and DDR800 variants, which will be used to produce PC4800, PC5300, and PC6400 modules, respectively.
Although some high-performance video cards currently use DDR-II, we do not expect DDR-II to become standard in desktop PCs until late 2004 or 2005. We think PC2700 DDR-I modules in single- and dual-channel configurations will remain the standard until DDR-II chipsets ship in volume in 2004. DDR-II will at first be used in high-end systems, and will migrate to midrange and entry-level systems throughout 2004 and 2005.
On the theory that if twice as fast is good, four times as fast must be better, the QBM Alliance is developing Quad Band Memory (QBM), sometimes called Quad Data Rate SDRAM (QDR-SDRAM). The QBM Alliance roster boasts many second- and third-tier companies, including Acer Laboratories, Acuid, Avant Technology, CST, Denali Software, Integrated Circuit Systems, Kentron Technologies, Netlist, Peripheral Enhancements, PNY Technologies, SiS, SiSoft, ST Microelectronics, Terarecon, and VIA Technologies. Alas, the key first-tier chipset/motherboard companies?notably Intel and AMD?are not QBM Alliance members. Neither have major memory companies such as Crucial/Micron, Kingston, or Samsung chosen to join the QBM Alliance. Without real support from those companies, we don't think the QBM Alliance can hope to establish a viable standard.
QBM is based on DDR-I technology, but quad-pumps rather than double-pumps the data channel. Although we have been wrong before, we expect QBM to fail for both technical and marketing reasons. Technically, QBM offers little real advantage over dual-channel PC2700 or PC3200 DDR-SDRAM, which is already widely supported by chipsets for Intel and AMD processors. That means memory makers have no incentive to produce yet another type of module that would sell in relatively small numbers, making it difficult to recoup their startup costs. From a marketing standpoint, QBM is almost doomed from the start. At best, QBM will garner support from second- and third-tier companies such as VIA Technologies and Kentron, which means that QBM will be perceived by consumers as a second-rate solution. Meanwhile, Intel and AMD will continue backing DDR-I and DDR-II, leaving only scraps for QBM.
SDRAM uses separate address, control, and data busses, each with many lines. Managing these wide parallel busses limits performance. Protocol-based DRAM instead uses a narrow, very fast channel with protocols that manage address, control, and data information. Rambus RDRAM, a proprietary RAM standard developed jointly by Intel and Rambus, is the sole surviving type of protocol-based RAM.
There are three types of Rambus memory, called Base Rambus, Concurrent Rambus, and Direct Rambus. The first two are obsolescent, and are used only in devices such as game consoles. All Rambus memory used in PCs is Direct Rambus memory. RDRAM is available in four speeds, designated PC600, PC700, PC800, and PC1066, although only PC800 and PC1066 are used in current systems. As with DDR-SDRAM, RDRAM modules are named according to their throughput, but with a difference. RDRAM uses a 16-bit or 18-bit data path (versus 64-bit for SDRAM) to transfer two bytes at a time. Accordingly, PC600 RDRAM provides peak throughput of 1200 million bytes/second, PC700 1400 million bytes/second, PC800 1600 million bytes/second, and PC1066 2133 million bytes/second.
In theory, then, it appears that PC800 RDRAM matches the throughput of PC1600 DDR-SDRAM, and PC1066 RDRAM the throughput of PC2100 DDR-SDRAM. In fact, that is true only if you are considering peak throughput. In the real world, RDRAM provides higher sustained throughput because it is more efficient than SDRAM in typical applications. Whereas SDRAM efficiencies are in the 40% to 70% range, RDRAM efficiency is about 80%. Accordingly, PC800 RDRAM might deliver sustained throughput of 1280 million bytes/second, whereas PC1600 DDR-SDRAM delivers much less, and even PC2100 DDR-SDRAM may not be able to match the actual sustained throughput of PC800 RDRAM.
On that basis, RDRAM might seem the better choice, but that is seldom true for several reasons. First, the throughput advantage of RDRAM is unrealized in most applications. Although modern processors such as the Pentium 4 can in theory use very wide memory bandwidths, in practice few applications require more memory bandwidth than PC1600 DDR-SDRAM provides, let alone PC2100, PC2700, or PC3200 DDR-SDRAM. Second, RDRAM typically costs significantly more than DDR-SDRAM. Third, throughput is only one aspect of memory performance. At least as important as throughput is latency?the time that elapses from requesting data from memory until the memory begins delivering that data. Despite the arguments of Rambus to the contrary, real-world RDRAM implementations exhibit high latency. What's worse is that RDRAM latency is cumulative. That is, with SDRAM, latency is a property of the memory chips themselves and remains the same regardless of the number of DIMMs installed in the system. With RDRAM, installing additional memory modules increases latency linearly. Not surprisingly, all the memory performance comparisons that we have seen from Rambus are based on using one RDRAM module per channel.
One can argue theory all day, of course, but the simple fact is that in our experience Rambus RDRAM memory seldom provides a significant performance advantage over SDRAM and may, in fact, be slower in some applications than even PC133 SDR-SDRAM. We suggest avoiding RDRAM memory entirely. In the past, we recommended RDRAM for Pentium 4 systems for which memory performance was a very high priority and the additional cost of RDRAM was not a deciding factor. With the advent of dual-channel DDR-SDRAM systems, that advice is now obsolete, because dual-channel PC2700 or PC3200 memory outperforms RDRAM in every respect. Intel will soon discontinue all of their RDRAM motherboards, making the point moot.
As of July 2003, the memory landscape for PCs appears to be predictable for the next couple of years. PC133 SDR-SDRAM and PC1600/PC2100 DDR-SDRAM are useful only for upgrading older systems. PC2700 DDR-I SDRAM is the current standard, although the Intel 875P- and 865-series chipsets have made PC3200 DDR-SDRAM a mainstream technology. Inexpensive systems use single-channel PC2700 DDR-SDRAM, and mainstream or higher systems use dual-channel PC2700 or PC3200 DDR-SDRAM. This state of affairs is likely to remain unchanged for the next year or more, so PC2700 or PC3200 DDR-I SDRAM remains a "safe" purchase.
As we move into 2004, PC2700 and PC3200 DDR-I SDRAM will begin yielding its position as the mainstream memory technology to dual-channel PC3200 DDR-II SDRAM, at first in high-end systems and later in the year in midrange systems. By late 2004, only entry-level PCs will use PC2700 or PC3200 DDR-I SDRAM. Beginning in 2005, even inexpensive systems will use PC3200 DDR-II SDRAM, and high-end systems will use faster variants of DDR-II SDRAM.
Rambus RDRAM never became a mainstream memory technology despite Intel's efforts to push it. Those efforts were particularly futile with Pentium III-class processors, which do not require the additional bandwidth available with RDRAM. Those early efforts to promote RDRAM failed miserably because people noticed that despite the hype, RDRAM provided little or no performance benefit relative to PC133 SDRAM with sixth-generation processors.
The advent of the bandwidth-hungry Pentium 4 processor should have made the advantages of RDRAM compelling, but the issue of relative memory performance has been overtaken by events. Intel's contract with Rambus has expired, its enthusiasm for RDRAM has faded, and it has now developed dual-channel DDR-SDRAM chipsets that provide more throughput than RDRAM with better latency and at a lower price. In our testing, RDRAM-based Pentium 4 systems provide better memory performance than those that use single-channel DDR-SDRAM, but worse performance than those that use dual-channel DDR-SDRAM. That leaves RDRAM as an expensive technology with no remaining market niche, and we expect it to fade quickly.

Table_4_Increased Catalase Activity and Maintenance of Photosystem II Distinguishes High-Yield Mutants From Low-Yield Mutants of Rice var. Nagina22 Under Low-Phosphorus Stress.DOC
An upland rice variety, Nagina22 (N22) and its 137 ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)-induced mutants, along with a sensitive variety, Jaya, was screened both in low phosphorus (P) field (Olsen P 1.8) and in normal field (Olsen P 24) during dry season. Based on the grain yield (YLD) of plants in normal field and plants in low P field, 27 gain of function (high-YLD represented as hy) and 9 loss of function (low-YLD represented as ly) mutants were selected and compared with N22 for physiological and genotyping studies. In low P field, hy mutants showed higher P concentration in roots, leaves, grains, and in the whole plant than in ly mutants at harvest. In low P conditions, Fv/Fm and qN were 24% higher in hy mutants than in ly mutants. In comparison with ly mutants, the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the roots and leaves of hy mutants in low P fields was 9% and 41% higher at the vegetative stage, respectively, but 51% and 14% lower in the roots and leaves at the reproductive stage, respectively. However, in comparison with ly mutants, the catalase (CAT) activity in the roots and leaves of hy mutants in low P fields was 35% higher at the vegetative stage and 15% and 17% higher at the reproductive stage, respectively. Similarly, hy mutants in low P field showed 20% and 80% higher peroxidase (POD) activity in the roots and leaves at the vegetative stage, respectively, but showed 14% and 16% lower POD activity at the reproductive stage in the roots and leaves, respectively. Marker trait association analysis using 48 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and 10 Pup1 gene markers showed that RM3648 and RM451 in chromosome 4 were significantly associated with grain YLD, tiller number (TN), SOD, and POD activities in both the roots and leaves in low P conditions only. Similarly, RM3334 and RM6300 in chromosome 5 were associated with CAT activity in leaves in low P conditions. Notably, grain YLD was positively and significantly correlated with CAT activity in the roots and shoots, Fv/Fm and qN in low P conditions, and the shoots’ P concentration and qN in normal conditions. Furthermore, CAT activity in shoots was positively and significantly correlated with TN in both low P and normal conditions. Thus, chromosomal regions and physiological traits that have a role in imparting tolerance to low P in the field were identified.

How big is the fan that you want to purchase a light kit for? Another good question. If the fan is a big sucker, say 44" - 52" blade span (or more), there's more likelihood that the fan will have a compatible light kit. Children's fans that are smaller have less chance of having a compatible kit. One thing you may want to consider is simply to purchase kits with your fan, when you purchase your fan. Often times when installing a fan, you simply need to think about how light comes into the room you're installing into. If you have lots of windows and light coming in, you won't need a light kit for this appliance. But if you are installing in a basement, garage, workshop, or other room with low light conditions, just purchase the light kit too. You don't even need to install it initially - put it away somewhere until you decide to install it.
In our years working in this field we have come to find out that many people have no idea how to install a ceiling fan. To be clear, it is not an EASY project. However, it is also not terribly difficult. You just need to take your time, follow the manufacturer's instructions and keep cool and collected. That's what we are here to help you do!
You want a fan with high quality fan components. For example, the die cast motor housings are far better than stamped motor housings. This is because the die cast motor housings reduce the fan's noise and keep the fan stable. You will also want your fan to have bearings that are permanently lubricated and it should have an oil reservoir that is sealed.

Have you read A Field of Darkness by Cornelia Read?
Ever listened to it?
If you have and it™s among one of your favorite audiobooks, you™ll be happy to know that Hillary Huber, narrator of A Field of Darkness has been nominated to win an Audie Award!
This week, I caught up with Hillary Huber, an Audie Award nominee in the category of Mystery for her work on the audiobook A Field of Darkness, a novel written by Cornelia Read. I first heard about Hillary™s nomination from Karen Commins earlier this year and wanted to save this article for the week of the Audie Awards in New York City, so here we are.
Under the direction of Pat Fraley, Hillary Huber masterfully recorded A Field of Darkness, an audiobook in the Mystery genre. Hillary is one of 700 nominees who were entered into the Audie Awards this year and given her talent and expertise in the area of recording for audiobooks, she is a prime candidate to take home an Audie to showcase in her Los Angeles recording studio. When asked about her experiences with the audiobook and the nomination, Hillary confided:
A Field of Darkness was a fabulous project from the get-go. I contacted author Cornelia Read and discovered that we had led virtually parallel lives ” raised in Long Island, a move to upstate NY, then Colorado and finally landing in California. Each of us had a parent split for Hawaii. It’s just crazy. The cool thing is that Cornelia funneled all of this history into her protagonist, Madeline Dare, and therefore I got her through and through. Pat helped me prepare the other characters as well as figuring out the thematic threads. I’m not a mystery book reader and his insight was very helpful.
Praise for Hillary Huber:
Madeline Dare, born into Long Island Society and raised amid the wealthy of California, is married to a Syracuse Railroad worker and writing for a small town newspaper. Dare dislikes Syracuse and her working-class in-laws while, at the same time, rejecting her upper-class upbringing. Upon learning of a twenty-year-old murder in the area, Dare investigates the crime, which is intertwined with her cousin Lapthorne Townsend. Hillary Huber reads this slow-moving mystery with a steady, even voice. Huber follows each shift in time and location as Dare daydreams about her life before Syracuse, remembering Lapthorne and all her adventures with him. As Dare seeks to uncover the truth about Lapthorne’s life, she is forced to examine her own.

TIGARD -- The Oregon Secretary of State's office has dismissed a complaint alleging a series of election-law violations by the Tigard-area residents who tried unsuccessfully to incorporate Bull Mountain as a city in 2006.
The complaint, filed by Bull Mountain resident Philip Decker, accused Friends of Bull Mountain and the incorporation effort's three chief petitioners of filing false financial information, misuse of campaign contributions, misuse of the Oregon Tax Credit program, wrongful support of litigation against the city of Tigard and misrepresentation and concealment of expenditures.
A four-page letter, signed by Kathy Schamp, a state Elections Division compliance specialist, found no merit to any of Decker's allegations. Schamp's letter concluded by noting, "this matter is now closed."
» Secretary of State's Bull Mountain Final Determination
"We're all glad to see this over," said Lisa Hamilton-Treick, one of three people named in the complaint. "I'm just sorry that this had to drag so many people through the mud so unnecessarily."
Others named were Kinton Fowler and Richard Franzke.
The dismissal, while final, doesn't appear to end public and personal disputes that have lingered since voters in the November 2006 general election rejected a proposed ballot measure to form a new city of Bull Mountain.
"Having observed Mr. Decker's presentations of specious legal arguments at several public hearings during the incorporation effort, I am not surprised his arguments were totally rejected," Franzke said in a written statement. "I've seen better legal analysis by first-year law students."
Decker, in a memo sent to The Oregonian, didn't appear ready to back off his charges.
"Bottom line: A small clique on Bull Mountain pulled off a campaign finance snow job -- and it worked," he wrote. "It was morally bankrupt but apparently legal."
