    Extractions: AS JAVA ROLLS FULL steam ahead into enterprises, its creator, Sun Microsystems, has decided to remain at the helm of the technology's development. Just last week, the company stunned the Java Business Expo in New York by announcing that it has removed Java from consideration by the European Computer Manufacturers' Association (ECMA), a standards body to which Sun had been considering turning over control of the platform.

23. Techweb > Migration Tug-of-War > January 27, 2004

TW (All Sites) InformationWeek InternetWeek Network Computing CommWeb Storage Pipeline Security Pipeline Mobile Pipeline Networking Pipeline Server Pipeline Linux Pipeline Optimize Government Enterprise The Open Enterprise Financial Technology advanced Tuesday, January 27, 2004 In the outside world, birds are migrating south for the winter. In the inside world of tech managers, legacy software data is ready to migrate to. . .destination unknown. Some shops are dealing with legacy mainframes, and others are dealing with old software that will lose support service from vendors. In either case, software companies and e-services consultants are trying to push the migrating data onto their platforms. Of course, as an e-services giant, IBM will also offer Unix-to-Windows migrations as well. But it's banking on more moves from NT to Linux, with a raft of classes and training for its estimated 90,000 business partners around the world. As for its own legacy Lotus migration path, IBM has announced that its "mega server" bundle will continue to include a Notes-based client, as well as an open-source Eclipse-based client. Either way, IBM wins. Sun, meanwhile, is in danger of losing its business to people migrating data off its expensive legacy machines. Though the company doesn't believe people are migrating from the Solaris platform, it still decided to release a Linux version of its middleware Java Enterprise System stack just in case. Call it a migration backup plan. And for its old hardware, Sun even made a car salesman-esque pitch: Trade in your old Sun systems and get 20 percent off new Sun Blade workstations.

    pp. 3438. The 30-Year tug-of-war. Can Reform Resolve Welfare Policy s Thorniest Conundrum? by Gordon Berlin The Welfare tug-of-war. Since  
    http://www.brook.edu/press/REVIEW/summer2001/berlin.htm
    
    Extractions: Yet another conundrum for policymakers involves social welfare policies themselves: efforts to reduce poverty almost always have the unintended effect of reducing work effort. A central puzzle that has confounded policymakers since the English Poor Laws of the 1600s has been how to give money to families to support children without undermining their parents' incentive to work and be self-supporting. The Welfare Tug-of-War In 1990 things changed. Welfare rolls began climbing, reaching nearly 5 million families by March 1994. Fears that welfare was discouraging work and marriage resurfaced with new urgency. Disillusioned that work requirements had not transformed the welfare state and alarmed by the surging welfare rolls, presidential candidate Bill Clinton promised to "end welfare as we know it." Two years later the Republican-controlled Congress vowed to end welfare entirely. The welfare law that passed in 1996 had two distinct personalities. On the one hand, it imposed time limits on benefit receipt (although states could exempt 20 percent of the caseload from those limits); placed strict work standards on the states, requiring that half of all welfare recipients be working by 2002; and told states to discourage out-of-wedlock childbearing, encourage marriage, and sustain two-parent families. On the other hand, it gave states primary responsibility for designing and implementing welfare programs, affording them tremendous flexibility in making those decisions.

    http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Southeast_Asia/FE07Ae01.html
    
    Extractions: KUALA TERENGGANU, Malaysia - Passing along Peninsular Malaysia's east coast, with its white-sand beaches, airy, variegated A-frame houses, and old men in sarongs pedaling gingerly to kampong (village) mosques on rusty bicycles, there's little trace of the election fervor that gripped the country a few short weeks ago. For evidence of that, one has to enter the oil-rich state of Terengganu. Here, the logos of the hardline Islamic Pan-Malaysia Islamic Party (Parti Islam SeMalaysia, or PAS) and the moderate Muslim-leaning ruling coalition Barisan Nasional (BN) still do battle - with mottos spray painted on to rocks, and party flags flapping from treetops and splintery porches and pinned on to cafe walls.

    PeopleSoft sets date for boardroom tugof-war. Last modified January 30, 2004, 515 PM PST. By Alorie Gilbert Staff Writer, CNET News.com.  
    http://news.com.com/2100-1014-5151289.html
    
    Extractions: PeopleSoft set the stage for a tussle with Oracle for boardroom control by announcing on Friday that it will hold an annual shareholder meeting and director election on March 25. Oracle has nominated replacements for four PeopleSoft board members who are up for re-election at the meeting. The move is a critical step in its efforts to complete a hostile buyout of its software rival: PeopleSoft's board has twice rejected an Oracle tender offer and has the power to overturn antitakeover measures that are blocking the bid. As only half of the eight seats on PeopleSoft's board are up for re-election, Oracle has proposed an expansion to nine directors and has proposed a fifth nominee for that spot. In its announcement, PeopleSoft called for the re-election of the four directors whose terms are expiring. Those up for renewal are Craig Conway, PeopleSoft's chief executive officer; George "Skip" Battle, chairman of Ask Jeeves; Frank Fanzilli, the retired former chief information officer of Credit Suisse First Boston; and Cyril Yansouni, former CEO of Read-Rite, who also serves on the boards of Tektronix and Solectron.

31. HHMI News: Gene Tug-of-War Leads To Distinct Species
    Gene tugof-war Leads to Distinct Species. April 30, 2000— By crossing two mouse species that normally do not interbreed, Howard  
    http://www.hhmi.org/news/tilghman.html
    
    Extractions: By crossing two mouse species that normally do not interbreed, Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) researchers have gained a better understanding of how gene imprinting can influence the establishment of distinct species. The majority of mammalian genes are present in two copies that are expressed and regulated. A small number of mammalian genes, however, are subject to special regulation by a process called gene imprinting. The imprint is a chemical mark attached to genes during egg or sperm development. Imprinting physically marks a gene in such a way that the parental origin of the gene can be distinguished and expressed accordingly. Most imprinted genes seem to govern fetal growth regulation, explained Shirley M. Tilghman, an HHMI investigator at Princeton University. Some researchers speculate that imprinting evolved in order to establish boundaries between species. Imprinting is also thought to provide a barrier to unisexual reproduction and the interbreeding of species. An hypothesis about the origin of imprinting, favored by Tilghman and her colleagues, is that imprinting was created as the result of a parental "tug-of-war." According to the theory, fathers contribute genes that enhance growth because their best interests are served if their progeny extract as many maternal resources as possible in order to ensure survival. Mothers, on the other hand, then silence their copy of growth-promoting genes in retaliation because they value all of their progeny equally.

32. A Religious Tug-of-war
    A religious tugof-war. Often, beliefs are at odds with medical community. Boston Herald/February 19, 1999 By Jules Crittenden. Lying  
    http://www.rickross.com/reference/jw/jw11.html
    
    Extractions: By Jules Crittenden Lying in a hospital bed in intense pain with a lacerated spleen, 17-year-old Alexis Demos found herself in the middle of a legal and religious tug-of-war. As a Jehovah's Witness, she and her father had made it clear to the doctors at Berkshire Medical Center Jan. 26 that she would not accept a blood transfusion. Citing the Bible's Acts and Leviticus, the Witnesses say they are barred from taking any blood, God's symbol of life, into their mouths or veins. Doctors wanted to be ready to pump life-saving blood into her if she needed it. The hospital called a judge to an impromptu hearing in a hospital conference room. ``My mom came in teary eyed, saying the judge ruled the approval. I said, I can take the needle out of my arm,'' Demos said. ``We made a decision as a family long ago not to accept blood,'' said her father Alec Demos. While he notes there are some alternatives to transfusions, he said he would not accept blood for himself or his family even if it meant risking death. ``That goes with the territory,'' Alec Demos said.

    Extractions: Will America Online get a spot on Microsoft's upcoming release of its Windows XP operating system? Are they even still at the bargaining table? Apparently, the answer fluctuates by the day as well as the news outlet regarding the state of talks between AOL and Microsoft over prickly issues such as AOL's potential placement in Windows XP, which will be released Oct. 25. In addition, Microsoft's reported plans to hard-wire its own Instant Messaging service in the XP operating system could be a deal-killer - and enough for AOL to sound the anti-trust horn.

At a signal, each family strains to pull the other over to its side. Run this like a double elimination tournament. Pick the family names out of a hat to determine the draw. Winners continue to accept new challengers, and the losers continue in a losers bracket. A loss in the losers bracket means a family is out.

    Extractions: Students torch cars outside the Thai embassy on Wednesday night. Photo: AFP Thailand has moved to suspend diplomatic relations with neighbouring Cambodia after a night of rioting in which its Phnom Penh embassy was wrecked, dozens of Thai businesses were torched and hundreds of its nationals were forced to flee the country. At the height of the crisis the Thai Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, issued an ultimatum to his Cambodian counterpart, Hun Sen, that he would send in commandos unless Cambodia security forces regained control within an hour. Five Thai C-130 military transports evacuated the 10 embassy staff and more than 600 Thai residents and tourists as mobs on foot and motorcycles roamed the streets of the capital chanting anti-Thai slogans. The riots were sparked by an apparent misunderstanding over reported claims by a popular Thai television actress, Suwanan Kongying, that the temples of Angkor Wat - Cambodia's most prized cultural and religious treasures - belonged to Thailand and should be returned.
