Peru Pension Fund Limit Depends on Full Central Bank Board
Peru's central bank will need to fill the vacant seats on its seven-man board before it can raise the ceiling on how much private pension funds can invest abroad, AFP Prima Chief Investment Officer Jose Antonio Roca said.
Pension funds, which manage a total 100 billion soles ($38.7 billion), are near the 30 percent portfolio limit for investing outside Peru, Roca told reporters in Lima today.
"We need to diversify our portfolios," said Roca, who manages $10 billion at AFP Prima, Peru's biggest pension fund. "There aren't enough local instruments such as infrastructure investments."
Pension funds have invested 11 percent of assets in infrastructure projects, including 540 million soles this year in Construtora OAS Ltda.'s Via Parque Rimac expressway in Lima, according to the Pension Fund Association. Peru will let funds invest more overseas to ease currency appreciation and help avoid a local asset bubble, central bank President Julio Velarde said Oct. 3.
Central bank spokesman Vidal Silva declined to comment by phone today on whether that change will require all seven directors at the bank. Congress is expected to name three new directors this month, Velarde said Aug. 6.
The sol appreciated 0.2 percent to 2.5780 per U.S. dollar at today's close, according to Deutsche Bank AG's local unit, prompting the central bank to buy $150 million on the spot market.
The yield on the nation's benchmark 7.84 percent sol- denominated bond due August 2020 rose one basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, to 4.26 percent, according to prices compiled by Bloomberg.
Among this year's investments, the pension funds have bought bonds sold by Volcan Cia. Minera SAA, Camposol Holding Plc (CSOL) and Maestro Peru SA, Roca said.

Although I can shoot reasonable decent video on my cell phone, it can not handle recording live music. Now that I have a Canon EOS Rebel T5 DSLR camera that also shoots high definition video, I am capable of recording YouTube-quality concert videos. I am in the process of adding video content to my two YouTube channels with the intent of monetizing them in the future.
My channels are Debbi Craton and Old Roads Once Traveled.
Here are a couple of examples to compare the video quality between the Canon T5 and my cell phone. Here is a cell phone video of Guiness the Cat insistently trying to get himself wrapped up for Christmas.
White Christmas & Howie's Redneck Snow Maker is a very funny video that I recorded in concert with the Canon T5 during the Jubilee Christmas Tour with Greater Vision, Legacy Five, and the Booth Brothers.
You'll notice that now that Bubblews is allowing embedded videos, I'm able to use that platform to promote my YouTube videos directly. Because of site rules, I can only indirectly promote my writing on other sites in a roundabout way.
Things are not going well at Bubblews for the moment, and I have removed most of my content there. I doubt I will receive any more money from Bubblews, so I am mostly using the site as a way to funnel views to YouTube.

Question... I haven't bought NV yet and I'm wondering if anyone thinks that at some point a (hopefully less buggy) "complete" version will come out with the DLC?
I would have figured a game of the year edition at some point, except... well...
Without a doubt we will get a GOTY version, it will not be patched however. I like you have yet to start NV (not even unwrapped, that will teach me to by at launch for �40!) but will get around to it...
Really, really, REALLY enjoying this so far. Almost at lvl 14, found my father, watched him get shot and now need to get into Vault 87. What I really like is the amount of choice and variety you have. Quite some side-missions I completed using my Speech skills (sometimes without even firing one bullet), which is something I didn't expect I'd be doing when I started out.
Yesterday however, I went to rescue some kids from the slavers at Paradise Falls. At first I was trying to talk my way in, but then I thought "hey, wait a minute! these are #$%^$ slavers!" and just massacred the whole bunch It's great how situations like these get you to think about things.
Also, some of the side-quests are actually really interesting Bloodlines was unexpected!.
My GOTY this year so far!
(what do you mean it's 3 years old?)
Welcome to one of the greatest games EVER. I played well over 100 hours. The game just keeps giving.
I wish New Vegas had sucked me in the way this did... I agree with DUFF's statement - definitely one of the greats.

First time I played the game, I put about 30 hours into before deciding it was overrated and moving on to something else. Decided to give it another go, and ended up putting a good 200hrs over a period of about six months. It's got plenty of flaws, but the overall experience more than makes up for it.

Paradise Falls led to a memorable game moment for me. I too wanted to save the kids and I tried the diplomatic approach with the guard outside and when I walked in I was met with a hail of gunfire from all angles. Took cover and landed a few shots before running and seeking shelter in a nearby gun store to my left. Killed those inside and was thinking of just leaving and coming back but I noticed something in the corner. It was a human skeleton in a cage with a party hat on his head. Got me thinking about the slave and thought about the ridicule and abuse he had at the hands of his captors. So I stocked up with everything in the place and walked out again with the purpose to clear out the place and put a big dent in the slave trade.
@Tuffty: I noticed that after I had already cleared out the whole place! It brought the same thoughts to my mind...at least I had made sure they got what they deserved
I got this for Christmas. I'm a bit late to the party I know, when this came out I didn't 'do' RPGs. But since then I've gotten into Mass Effect and recently the new Deus Ex.
I'm really enjoying it. At first it didn't grab me, I couldn't see what the fuss was about. But now I'm itching to get back to it, I've only done about 3 of the main story missions, keep getting distracted and wandering off exploring and doing side quests.
I've got the Game of the Year edition so this is gonna keep me going of ages.
Could well be my fav game ever (along with RE2) just a totally awesome game, enjoy you are in for some real treats as you sink many tens of hours into the game.

Agreed with Duffman! It was my first "proper" RPG (not including Pokemon and Paper Mario). I ended up spending 86 hours on it and still have a load to do but I feel like I have "completed" it so I have left it. I found New Vegas to be somewhat dissapointing however, it felt too small and missing a certain... something. If it wasn't for Skyrim FO3 would still be in my top 3 games of all time. I'd definately recommend Skyrim once you're finished with FO3, Pumpatron, unless you despise fantasy completely. Though once you're finished with it a GOTY edition shouldn't be far off.
I really can't wait for Fallout 4. I'm hoping they release it for the WiiU so the controller's screen can act as your constant PipBoy. That would put an end to all the stopping and starting that the PipBoy brings with it and would hopefully stop the whole my-face-is-being-mauled-so-i'll-just-hold-my-wrist-up-to-my-face-to-freeze-everybody-so-i-can-heal/ change weapon/ use item. They could possibly have it so you can lift the controller up to activate VATS (which would freeze everyone still, or maybe it would be better to just slow them so there is still a slight element of skill?) and then use it to target the area you want to hit precisely. If Nintendo could get it as an exclusive they would sell a lot more consoles to the "Hardcore". Oh, and preferably no bugs that break or somewhat hinder people's games. The funny ones should stay.
Cheers guys, sounds like I'm in for a treat then. DUFFMAN, Resident Evil 2 is also one of my favourite games. Best of the series in my view.
MatMan562, I don't hate fantasy, but it doesn't really excite me either. I may end up getting skyrim down the line when Game of the Year edition is out.
This game is ace \o/
Find the controls for the torch.
Torch? you mean the light on your pitboy?

I finished Fallout3 long long ago & never got round to getting the addons. However, I picked up Broken Steel, Point Lookout, The Pitt, Operation Anchorage yesterday from game on disc for a few quid, bargain!
However, I want to play Broken Steel first and continue my game. When I activate Project Purity blah blah blah, after the 2 weeks later, I am just stuck under the bed, coughing, not being able to move & thats it!!

Bought the game today for my windows 7 laptop, without any knowledge of the problems the game has on windows 7.
I've tried to add the ".dll" file.
I've edited the notepad file as every website has told me.
I'm out of ideas and will probs cry if I can't get it to work. Any suggestions, please??

Joker One: A Marine Platoon's Story of Courage, Leadership, and Brotherhood
By Donovan Campbell
313 pages; Random House
The Gist:
During his junior year at Princeton University, Donovan Campbell decided to take the Marine Corps officer training course. Good for the resume, he thought until he grew to embrace the Corps' ideals of service, honor and sacrifice. Campbell was soon a lieutenant in charge of a platoon thrust into Ramadi, Iraq in 2004, right as that city's insurgency blossomed. Unlike Fallujah, a city full of jihadists with very few civilians, Ramadi was "a much blurrier battle, a classic urban counterinsurgency, a never-ending series of engagements throughout the heart of a teeming city where our faceless enemies blended seamlessly into a surrounding populace of nearly 35,000 civilians." In Joker One, Campbell writes of his almost eight months in Iraq, with all the blood and confusion that one expects from a commander who has had his boots on the ground. ("See a TIME photographer's Iraq photo diary.")
Highlight Reel:
1. On calling into base after his first encounter with the enemy: "I stopped moving and tried to slow my breathing. It was my first firefight; I didn't want to sound frantic or panicked on the radio, since how you sound when you call in during your first enemy contact can come to define how you're viewed by those above and below you for the rest of your tour. Frantic-sounding lieutenants lose everyone's confidence immediately."
2. On a soldier's thirst for any sort of pop culture: "Toward the middle of our second week in-country, Noriel walked into his squad's room to find the long, skinny Mahardy and the short, fireplug-like Guzon lying together on a lower bunk bed, both wearing nothing but their short green nylon shorts and watching The Notebook, a romantic tear-jerker ... Noriel, of course, immediately ridiculed the odd couple for their supremely unmanly choice of movie ... Four days later, having exhausted his own entertainment supply, [Noriel] surreptitiously made his way into an unoccupied squad room, snagged The Notebook, and brought it back to a packed NCO room. Half an hour later, I found him, along with Leeza and Bowen, watching the movie with tears running down their faces."
3. On wounds: "Shrapnel wounds almost always look like someone took a jagged shovel and dug a chunk of flesh out of the body, then filled it in awkwardly with hairless, discolored skin that shouldn't be on a human being. Burn wounds are smoothly hideous, like the skin was turned into peanut butter and then spread in stretched, uneven dollops on the body. Or maybe you come back missing a finger or your face, or the whole or parts of your limbs. Maybe your eyes are gone."
The Lowdown:
Joker One is a perfectly serviceable Iraq War memoir. You've got your typical collection of grunts and a number of gripping battle set pieces. There are scenes of heroism and others of heartbreaking folly a soldier accidentally struck down by a Marine Humvee driving through the night, a truck that rolls over and crushes a group of Iraqi detainees the likes of which can be found in endless wartime chronicles. Where Campbell's narrative resonates is in his evocation of the growth of a young military leader. As he grapples with how best to discipline his men, when to stand up for them and how purposeful and calculated a military leader must be in the management of his troops, Campbell traces the development of a skill set as important as any battlefield tactic or strategy. The flip side of that, however, is a fawning depiction of Campbell's men (they are all brave, they are all worthy), leaching them of any real complexity or humor. Regardless, Joker One manages to show its best, most unique face through a thick and all-too-familiar fog of literary war narratives.

Vienna - The United Nations' nuclear watchdog and Iran will meet again next week after a "good exchange of views" during two days of talks on the Islamic state's atomic programme, a senior UN official said on Tuesday.
The head of the Iranian delegation said progress was made in the meeting in Vienna which dealt with the UN agency's mounting concerns that Tehran may be seeking to develop the capability to develop nuclear weapons.
Neither side gave details about the content of the talks and they did not say if they discussed Iran granting UN inspectors access to its Parchin military site - where the watchdog suspects nuclear bomb-relevant research has been carried out.
The meeting tested Iran's readiness to address concerns over possible military aspects to its nuclear work - which it says is entirely peaceful - ahead of negotiations on the programme's future in Baghdad on 23 May between Tehran and six world powers.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had hoped the meeting would secure agreement on access to Iranian sites, documents and officials involved in suspected research that could be put to use producing nuclear explosives.
"The primary focus of our discussions was how to clarify issues related to possible military dimensions of Iran's nuclear programme," IAEA Deputy Director General Herman Nackaerts told reporters after two days of talks at an Iranian diplomatic mission in Vienna.
"We had a good exchange of views and we will meet again on Monday," Nackaerts added.
Iranian Ambassador Ali Ashgar Soltanieh, standing next to Nackaerts, said the two sides had had "fruitful discussions in a very conducive environment... we have had progress."
"We decided that in order to continue this work towards conclusion we will have next week... the next round of talks."
Resisted visits
Western diplomats were watching the talks for any sign Iran is ready to make concrete concessions ahead of the encounter in Baghdad next week.
The IAEA, the UN agency tasked with preventing the spread of nuclear arms, said before the meeting that its priority was to visit the Parchin military complex where Iran may have conducted high-explosives tests relevant for developing atomic arms capability.
Iran, which rejects Western accusations it is seeking nuclear weapons, has resisted previous requests by the IAEA to go to Parchin, southeast of Tehran.
Western diplomats said before the meeting they would be "very surprised" if Iran suddenly opened up Parchin.
Israel, widely believed to hold the Middle East's only nuclear arsenal, and the United States have not ruled out military action to prevent Iran from obtaining atomic bombs if they deem diplomacy has failed.
An IAEA report last November found that Iran had built a large containment vessel at Parchin in 2000 to conduct tests that the UN agency said were "strong indicators of possible [nuclear] weapon development".
Western diplomats say they suspect Iran is cleaning the Parchin site to remove incriminating evidence.
Impossible to clean
One envoy told Reuters he had seen satellite imagery showing vehicles near the place the IAEA wants to see, and an apparent stream of water coming from the building.
Iran's Foreign Ministry has dismissed the allegations, saying nuclear activities cannot be washed away.
A Vienna-based expert who declined to be identified said it would be difficult, but not impossible, to clean possible traces of uranium or substitute materials from a site.
Two previous rounds of talks in Tehran this year with UN inspectors failed to make any notable progress, especially on their request to go to Parchin.
Iran and the powers involved in nuclear diplomacy - the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany - revived negotiations in Istanbul last month after a 15-month hiatus and both sides say they hope for progress in Baghdad.
The resumption of diplomacy offers a chance to defuse tension that has led the United States and the European Union to try to block Iran's oil exports through sanctions, and increased worries about a new Middle East war.
Well! that's a good sign, the very cordial and candid comments uttered by Messers Nackaerts and Soltaineh after last weeks round of discussions. Better still, further talks will resume in next week - that's very good for all peace loving citizens, not so good for the hawks with itchy trigger fingers.

I have a 2005 Ford Freestyle Limited (not an all wheel drive) that just went into Failsafe Mode and limped home not wanting to go over 30-40 mph tops. For the past couple of weeks the car has been lunging very randomly with my foot on the brake - a little scary. "Wrench" idiot light is now on as well. Thoughts? Air conditioning was being used at the time pretty much to the max. Temp gauge is fine.
I am traveling with kids OUT OF TOWN and it is past time on Saturdays for dealership service depts. To be open. Can a local garage handle this and whats parts are needed and/or even going to be available to fix it until a dealership parts dept. Is back open again?
have the same problem?

Dear Everyone,

I think that I've missed a few emails because of a very strange one I received a few minutes ago that really upset me because of its content. I've decided to let it go. I think Mary Petty's advice was the best. I've decided to cross post this message and hope that peace will win.

How comes no one told me....
Monday, April 29, 2013
Today I am 14 weeks pregnant with my first child. It has been such a learning experience for me. I read a lot and I listen to a lot of people. I am naturally curious, so I think I am knowledgeable about a lot of stuff. But I am beginning to question my knowledge now, because since pregnancy I realize that there are so many thinks I did not know and I wished someone had told me.
1. Morning sickness can last all day. What I had in my head was me rushing to the bathroom in the morning, throwing up and then going about my merry ways. Not so! I felt sick the whole day. I wasn't vomiting but I just felt sick. I cried a couple of times because I thought I was dying or something. I felt sick constantly for about 5 weeks and one day I woke up and just didn't feel as sick anymore.
2. Pregnancy gas is not normal. Once I felt something running across my belly, When I touched my navel, it was tender. I thought that something was extremely wrong with. I never thought someone could feel so much pain and not be dying. I then ate something and the pain went away. Apparently it was just gas. I have never felt gas pain like that. Not to mention the smell when you do let that gas out. I couldn't stand my own farts. I would go to be praying that I don't fart because it is difficult to stay under the sheets when I do.
3. Violent mood swings. I am a naturally moody person, I know mood swings, but not like these. I swore I was depressed. I would sit down doing something with my BF and I'd say to him "I am going to cry now" and I just burst out crying. Sometimes the world just seems like a sad place that I cannot handle and the next minute I feel like superwoman, I can manage anything.
4. Round ligament pains. This one is recent. I have been having these slight pains at the bottom of my belly. I started wondering if my poor baby was in distress. I told my mother about it and she says it's probably nothing, but I was wondering where did this pain come from? Anyways I went on "What to expect" and everyone in the October baby group was experiencing this pain. So how comes I never knew about it?
5. You are your favourite comedian. Ok, this one may not be happening to a lot of pregnant women, but I find it happening to me. I find myself having funny conversations with myself. I will be in a bad mood and I am talking to myself about it and suddenly I say something funny to myself and It just cracks me up, You would swear I was talking to someone else.
Now I am wondering what other joys of pregnancy are out there that no one is telling me about.

Celeste you crack me up!! I think everyone remembers something different and my babies were born years ago. I do remember one thing that happened though. We were building a house and the carpet had just been installed. I decided to lay flat on the floor in our bedroom where our bed would be to see what view out the window I would be waking up to.
I was about 5 months pregnant and suddenly, when I went to get up, I could not move! I had this funny catch in my lower back and it was not letting go. It hurt to try to turn to the right or left and there I was helpless. The rest of the family had moved on back outside and I spent a good 10 minutes yelling "HELP! Finally, the discomfort eased up and I was able to roll to the side to get up. Scarey few moments. I think the baby was positioned just right and it was causing my back to sort of lock up. I hope you don't have that to happen!

Too funny!! I think we forget about all these little things (well, they seem little now) so we don't share.
I didn't have morning sickness but did have intense cravings for one or two foods. I was very emotional. Commercials, cards, you name it and I was in tears.
And peezing.... yep.
It may seem slow day-to-day but the 40 weeks speeds by. :)

That's funny! You made me laugh!
Ok the morning sickness I did not have but I did have the emotions and mood swings! The emotions are still there 15 years later! I had vivid dreams too which would then lead to the mood swings. Luckily, that part subsided.
Another one - hating food you normally love and craving food you hate! I hated ranch dressing but craved it with my son. Loved mushrooms but they made me puke and still can't stand them!
And yes, peezing (funny term), squatting to pee in public places and how the heck to wipe well when squeezed in a small stall...
Just remember this will all subside and you'll feel your little one moving and kicking inside you and realize what a miracle. I'll never forget the first time I felt my babies move and I definetly will never forget when our daughter kicked so hard that my husband actually felt it - We laughed for hours about her kicking him in the ar$e.

Congratulations! Very funny blog! I am almost to 35 weeks and this has been an interesting ride. And very different from my first pregnancy, so some of what I learned or experienced then went out the window. It only gets more interesting from here until the end! Just enjoy it though.

Congratulations on your baby! I LOVED your blog because I totally understand what you're going through. I am currently 13 weeks and 5 days pregnant with my third child. I also have suffered from almost every problem you are going through. What I will say is that there are a great many things you will never be fully ready for, but that's just part of the journey your experience. I love that you say you're open to reading and listening to other women's experiences. Just remember that millions of women have been going through this for a LONG time. You will get through this as well and then you will also have something to share with others.

Whattoexpect.com has some great info too.
Things I didn't know:
Pregnancy is the biggest test of faith I have ever had-prayers help!
Peezing-you pee a little when you sneeze starts much sooner then you might think
There are men who will be fascinated with your growing belly, it's usually men who have had children and remember how it was when their wives went through it
Ultrasounds are not considered standard for prenatal care and may not be covered by your insurance.
This is the fastest 40 weeks ever, try to enjoy the quite times, count your blessings often and pace yourself.

OMG Celeste, I laughed reading this - you just forgot a few things:
How hard it is to squat to urinate when at a public place that you don't want to sit
Also, that sometimes, you may urinate on yourself due to baby movements.
(Well, little early for that right now, but keep that in mind)
I was an emotional pregnant woman too!

Congrats on your pregnancy!
I HIGHLY recommend reading Pregnancy Sucks and Belly Laughs. Both are available on Amazon, and probably at your local library. Both books go into the nitty-gritty of what pregnancy is REALLY like. Fair warning: Belly Laughs is by Jenny McCarthy, and she really doesn't have a filter... They are also both slightly outdated, but almost nothing in the books has changed. Also, get What to Expect When You're Expecting. Be careful with that one though, because it includes lots of scary things that can make a pregnant woman paranoid if she isn't careful. However, it is a GREAT resource.

on your first pregnancy. I had 3 kids in 3 1/2 years with number four coming 23 months later. I LOVED being pregnant. (Can't tell, can ya?
) I didn't have morning sickness, but certain smells would make me gag. Wood floors, cigarette smoke, B.O., were some of the worst for me.
I found that I started crying at commercials. (I still do.) Ones with little kids and babies, ones about kids going to college, anything family oriented would send the tears flowing. I never thought I was funny, but pregnancy does some weird stuff to a woman!
If you like to write, this would be a good time to journal. I didn't journal during my pregnancy, but I did for the first year of the baby's life. It's fun to go back and read what I wrote. My girls have read their baby journals, too. The boys aren't as interested.
Enjoy this time. I loved knowing I could protect my little one when they were in utero. Good luck, eat healthy and exercise.

Metaphorical Meanderings: Standardization and ODF
by Kurt Cagle
The Canadian economy continues to hum along; I've become a net seeker after talent rather than a talent to be sought, and am discovering how thin on the ground good development talent has become. In British Columbia, the IT unemployment rate is roughly 1.75%, which is absurd - IT is by its nature a field where there are always people coming off assignments or just taking a break from the fairly intensive grind of producing software, so in many ways its healthiest state seems to be at about 4% unemployment. At 1.75%, projects are being cancelled because there aren't enough competent programmers to be able to complete them, and competition for programmers begins to get extraordinarily silly.

Umm... if the trend toward high bonuses and stock options for upper management (say financial wizards with no technical background) while holding down the raises for technical staff to the sub 3% range, gutting health benefits and insisting on gratis overtime as a condition of employment continues, unionization of american software is not unthinkable.

Our faculty are highly qualified and committed to students, and our majors are dynamic students who engage in lively class discussions and critical thinking.
The department also sponsors the La Verne Debate Team, which competes nationally and internationally. All students are welcome to join.
Description of the Speech and Communication Field
A speech communication major is a person striving to understand complex human communication behavior from liberal arts and social sciences perspectives. Our majors are involved in:
- Understanding the roles communication plays in human interaction
- Facilitating and analyzing individual, interpersonal, small group, and public communication processes
- Planning and managing programs that improve the quality of human communication
Historical description of the field
Speech Communication, as an academic discipline, traces its origins to classical rhetoric, which evolved into a prominent component of the seven liberal arts of the medieval schools. "The ability to speak clearly, eloquently, and effectively has been recognized as the hallmark of an educated person since the beginning of recorded history . . . . In the United States, rhetorical training has been a part of formal education since Harvard's founding in 1636."1 During the nineteenth century, a reexamination of the rhetorical tradition began, inspired primarily by the interests of social scientists in human communication. This resulted in the formation of speech communication as a discipline incorporating the two related yet distinct areas of rhetoric and communication studies. Both areas investigate similar questions about human interaction, but they vary in the methods used to answer these questions. Rhetoric scholars utilize humanistic methods and communication studies scholars utilize social-scientific methods. Together, they pursue the study and practice of human communication.
Current description of the field
Speech communication scholars explore the creation of social realities, the nature of verbal and nonverbal signs and symbols, and the role of communicative behavior in a variety of social contexts (including personal relationships, organizations, intercultural encounters, political and legal debates, and beyond).
Speech communication most commonly refers to non-mediated communication and is different from mass communications, which refers to mediated communication. In mediated communication, something comes between the sender and the final receiver of the message (e.g., radios, television sets, networked computers). The University of La Verne's Speech Communication department is devoted to non-mediated forms of communication.
As specific areas of study, rhetoric and persuasion emphasize communication in the contexts of debate, public address and discourse, political and legal communication, and even social influence attempts in sales, personal relationships, and work relationships. Interpersonal and intercultural communication recognize the role of communication in the development, maintenance, and deterioration of relationships, including personal, work, and stranger relationships, and relationships across cultures. Organizational and group communication is the study of information flow within an organization, between the organization and the external environment, and among groups.
Most academic training in the area of speech communication takes the perspective that successful communication is partly a learned skill. Most people are born with the physical abilities to acquire necessary communication tools, but such potential does not guarantee that they will learn to communicate effectively. Language, rhetorical strategies, listening skills, and a lexicon of verbal and nonverbal meanings are developed in various ways. It is theorized that people gain their communication skills by having them modeled by persons in their environment, by being taught specific techniques through the educational process, and by practicing their abilities and having them evaluated. 2
Today, speech communication is very common major, with approximately 118,000 communication majors pursuing undergraduate degrees and 16,000 seeking graduate degrees in communication across the nation. 2

There are major discrepancies between SunOS 4.x and Solaris 2.x system calls, such as different system call numbers and different interfaces or behaviors. Most of the differences between system calls in the two versions are handled by the Binary Compatibility Package through mappings and the use of alternate routines providing the expected interface and behavior.
The system call mappings can cause the output of the truss(1) program run under the Binary Compatibility Package to differ from your expectations. A system call name might differ, or a system call might not occur when expected. The arguments to the call or the returned value might be different. For example, in cases requiring path name resolution (see "Resolving Path Names "), an open() call to one file can actually open a different file.
Applications should invoke the system calls through the wrapper routines provided in libc. Do not directly invoke system calls through the trap mechanism, as it is then impossible to call the appropriate routine and map the data and system call number properly.

No one was seriously injured when a Grovetown man ran his car into a Columbia County donut shop Tuesday morning.
Charles Edward Horne, 76, was attempting to park his Ford Crown Victoria at about 11:30 a.m. in front of Daylight Donuts at 4045 Jimmie Dyess Parkway near Interstate 20. Horne told authorities that he was turning into the end parking space right in front of the shop when he bumped into the curb. As he backed up to readjust, Horne said another vehicle bumped into his rear bumper causing his foot to slip off the brake and onto the gas pedal, according to Columbia County sheriff's Deputy Ty Mobley.
Horne's vehicle jumped the curb and ran through the front glass walls of the shop and landed half way into the store
Shop owner Marsha King and two others were inside the shop, but no customers. They weren't injured. Horne sustained a cut to his hand, but his passenger was uninjured.
Mobley said he was going to review video surveillance footage of the retail center parking lot and will continue to investigate the incident. Horne wasn't cited.

Podcasting is a method of publishing audio broadcasts via the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed of new files (usually MP3s). It became popular in late 2004, largely due to automatic downloading of audio onto portable players or personal computers.
Podcasting is distinct from other types of online media delivery because of its subscription model, which uses a feed (such as RSS to deliver an enclosed file. Podcasting enables independent producers to create self-published, syndicated "radio shows," and gives broadcast radio programs a new distribution method. Listeners may subscribe to feeds using "podcatching" software (a type of aggregator), which periodically checks for and downloads new content automatically. A lot of people subscribe to podcast sources through iTunes.
Any digital audio player or computer with audio-playing software can play podcasts, and all smartphones. The same technique can deliver video files, and by 2005 some aggregators could play video as well as audio. One of the better tools for creating Podcasts is Audiograbber.

[…] I was enjoying Len's latest podcast in his series on "Leading From the Margins" on my way to work today.»? The message is titled Phase Transitions and Liminality and in it, Len mentions the term "Portfolio Church" that Ian Mobsby coined. This seems like an attractive and promising approach to church life for me. […]
I really like this. Thanks for sharing (and good timing for me personally, too).It can be hard to sustain hope for greater things for the church but, it is easier when we're remind of who God really is.
We like your podcast Len….keep em coming bro. Great to have some "meat" to chew on

The James Gallery
365 Fifth Avenue, 212-817-2005
March 14 - June 2, 2012
Reception: Wednesday, March 14, 6 - 8 PM
Web Site
How might the infrastructure of colonial occupation be subverted, reused, recycled, or productively profaned? Although civilization has "re-occupied" terrain and buildings for millennia, finding new a means for planning for the future of contested sites is of urgent contemporary concern. The James Gallery will present the work of Decolonizing Architecture Art Residency, a design group and residency program founded by Eyal Weizman, Sandi Hilal, and Alessandro Petti in Beit Sahour, Palestine, that conducts research, collective learning and public meetings, and makes critical design from its research on existing architecture and infrastructure. Decolonizing Architecture Art Residency's projects articulate the potential of architecture to open an "arena of speculation" that incorporates varied cultural aesthetic and political perspectives. Their projects, whether in the form of large or small-scale models, video, maps, photographs, interviews, or discussions have been exhibited at Nottingham Contemporary (2012); Neuchâtel, Switzerland (2011); Red Cat, LA (2010); NGBK, Berlin (2010); the Istanbul Biennale (2009). The group was awarded the Prince Claus Prize for Architecture in 2010.

STUNNED Bosham have been relegated from the Sussex League – because of a chemical toilet and the size of a dressing room.
The Walton Lane outfit are facing life in the West Sussex League after being told their ground does not come up to standards now expected in division three of the county league.
Two issues saw them fall foul of the ground inspectors: the home dressing room is not big enough and the referee's dressing room has a chemical toilet and not a permanent one.
Club bosses are unsure if they can bounce back but the news, which comes two years after they were denied promotion to division two for similar reasons, is a bitter blow.
Ironically it comes months after they had a £20,000 makeover from Wickes won in a national competition.
First-team manager Tony Hancock said: "It is with a very heavy heart that I announce that Bosham have been informed officially that despite finishing 11th of 16 in division three, we are to be relegated from the Sussex County Football League after many years involvement, because of ground-grading issues.
"Therefore both first and reserve teams will not be a part of the SCFL next season and are relegated to the West Sussex League.
"This is a very sad day for all involved with the club – officials, players and staff alike, who have all worked tirelessly to keep the club running at this level and try to achieve as best as we can, playing as entertaining football as we possibly could with limited resources and a fantastic group of players and team-mates. Let's hope this club we are all proud to be a part of can bounce back from this setback."
It's not the first time Bosham have fallen foul of ground-grading rules.
Two years ago they were furious when after winning the division-three title, the league told them they could not take their place in division two because aspects of their ground were not up to scratch, at least in the league's eyes.
Their relegation does hinge on one of the top two from the West Sussex League – Billingshurst or Sidlesham – having their ground approved for Sussex division three.
But this is thought likely to happen.
County league officials insist their hands are tied by national FA rules which have been extended to give clubs at step seven (Sussex division three level) requirements.
Sussex League vice-chairman Steve Nealgrove said the league had tried to keep all clubs fully informed about any work they needed to do.
Bosham say both issues that have hit them are things they cannot do anything about, rather than are unwilling to do.
Nealgrove said: "We have tried to help Bosham and feel sympathy for them.
"There are five sides in division three who didn't meet the required Grade I but Bosham were the lowest-placed of them."
The league is allowed to keep four clubs in the division who don't make the grade but if less than 75 per cent of clubs don't meet standards, central FA grant money would dry up.

You will need to think about the benefits and risks of this treatment very carefully before deciding to go ahead with it. A donor stem cell transplant may increase the chance of curing your cancer or leukaemia, or of getting you into remission, more than any other treatment. But, you will need to weigh this against the risks.
There have been many improvements in looking after people after a transplant but some people still have serious side effects or may die. Your specialist will talk to you about this. While this information can be upsetting to hear, your specialist needs to make sure that you're fully aware of all the risks.
You'll need some time to think about your decision, and you may want to talk things over with your family and friends. Most units have a nurse specialist, transplant coordinator, social worker or counsellor who you can talk to. It's a good idea to have someone with you when talking to the hospital team. They can support you and help you with the information you've been given. You don't need to rush into making a decision about having a transplant.
If you have questions, ask your hospital team. It's important to have all the information you need before making your decision.
You can also choose not to have the treatment. The staff can explain what may happen if you don't have it. It's essential to tell a doctor or the nurse in charge, so they can record your decision in your medical notes. You don't have to give a reason for not wanting treatment, but it can help to let the staff know your concerns so they can give you the best advice.
Risks involved with a donor stem cell transplant
A donor stem cell transplant is a very specialised treatment. It can have many side effects and possible complications. Your doctor will consider your general health before advising you to have a transplant. There are likely to be times when you feel very unwell. It can take many months to fully recover, and some people may not get back to the same level of health they had before their transplant. The main risks include:
- serious infections and bleeding when your blood counts are very low
- graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) – if the donor's cells attack some of your body's tissues and organs
- the donor stem cells may not produce new blood cells (graft failure).
Your doctor can tell you more about what these side effects may mean for you.
Questions you might like to ask your doctor
- What are the benefits of a donor stem cell transplant for me?
- What are the risks?
- What are the possible long-term side effects?
- How will it affect the way I live?
- Will I still be able to have children after the treatment?
- How long will it be before I get back to my daily routine?
- What happens if the cancer comes back after my transplant?
- What may happen if I decide not to have the transplant?
- What other treatments can I have?
- Do I need the transplant now or could I have it later if my disease comes back?

The old-timers are right, and now there's proof: It ain't as foggy as it used to be in Humboldt County.
Two University of California at Berkeley scientists have done the painstaking work to show that coastal summers see a third less fog than they did 100 years ago -- and that the region's great redwoods appear to be worse off because of it. It's laid out in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by James Johnstone of the Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management and Todd Dawson of the Department of Integrative Biology.
"The fog record reveals substantial year-to-year changes since the mid-20th century," the pair write in the article.
The study looked at more than 100 years of records at 114 weather stations along the West Coast, and at hourly measurements of cloud ceiling heights from 1951 to 2008. It also considered evidence about the coast redwood's range. That range, it's been understood, is related to coastal fog frequency, and researchers see it changing as the climate changes.
Redwoods are poor regulators of their own water use, the authors write, as they release large amounts of water at night, when they can't photosynthesize sunlight. That makes redwoods heavily dependent upon the environment for the water they need to survive, and therefore highly sensitive to a lack of clouds and fog, they write, which provide moisture.
Using physiological data from redwoods, the pair concludes that coast redwoods and other ecosystems along the West Coast are increasingly stressed by drought because of lack of summer fog and the resulting additional evaporation.
Northern California fog is strongly related to north winds along the coast. The paper reads that summer fog is tied to conditions favorable for upwelling, in which cold nutrient-rich water is driven to the surface of the ocean by strong north winds, the phenomenon that jump-starts the coastal food chain. Dramatic changes in upwelling could have dramatic effects on fisheries, birds, marine mammals and the ecosystem in general.
Lynda Roush, Arcata field manager for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, which manages the redwood-rich Headwaters Forest, said that the agency is working with Save-the-Redwods League and beginning to set up studies in the forest to consider climate change's effects on redwoods.
"We're starting to talk about it with our partners," Roush said.
Troy Nicolini with the National Weather Service said there is a perception that there isn't as much fog as there was years ago, but the agency doesn't collect the kind of data that would show that trend. While cloud cover is monitored, Nicolini said, it's not distinguished from the low cloud cover that generates drip from trees.
But if less fog may be nice for the residents of coastal Northern California, the authors of the study say it's not likely to be good for the plants in the region. The dominant climatic factor, they write, may continue to affect the water and carbon economy of redwoods and other species here.

What's a good foundation brush to use that has a finish like the beauty blender?
Hey Teni! I really love your website and YouTube channel. Your videos always brings a smile to my face and your makeup always looks so effortless. I love your product suggestions and tutorials.
I recently made a blog and I'd really love for you to check it out.
Teni – thank you so much for creating an awesome website and YouTube channel to help make the world more beautiful one person at a time! I've learned so much from you and truly
Feel more beautiful! Thank you! I know this doesn't have to do with glossy box but I wanted to ask a couple questions:
Do you self tan? (million dollar tan?) if so do you still use this? How often? When do you apply? And do you not apply your other skin care products since the tan is on?
Have you used the PMD – personal microderm abrasion tool?
Do you have a recommendation for a lip treatment to help really dry lips?
Thank you again! You're such an inspiration!
Can you can do a video on how to freshen up makeup at the end of the day? i.e. I'm out of work and now have to go out?
I received the UK version of Glossybox (Jan) and wasn't that impressed. The products you were given look much better :). Huge fan of toni&guy especially the salt spray! xx

Planning a solo trip, a couple's trip, and a family trip are very different things. Planning a solo trip is easiest as you only have to take care of your needs and nobody else's. Planning a couple's trip is double the trouble. However, you can also save when it comes to accommodations or two-for-one deals. Planning a family trip is immensely more difficult, all the more if you are travelling with children. Here are some reminders before you go on that trip.
Before you leave
Make sure you get travel insurance for everyone travelling. If going overseas, update the vaccinations of the children, as well as the adults. Prepare all travel documents including passports and visas. Have them photocopied so you can have them easily replaced just in case they get lost during the trip. Call your bank if you are going abroad so you can still use your credit card without tripping their fraud alarms. Before leaving the house, unplug all appliances. Make sure every window is closed and every door securely locked and bolted.
If you're planning to drive for a part of the trip – either you're driving around the UK or considering hiring a car for use overseas – you must obviously be a qualified motorist, with your license up to date and full.
What to Pack
Travelling with the whole family can be really stressful, particularly if you are travelling with smaller children. Make sure to pack comfortable clothes, as well as jackets, depending on the weather of the destination. Pack their favourite toy a few days before leaving so that when you arrive at your hotel, handing them the toy will be like a welcome home. Pack some snacks and drinks for the travel. Bring a small blanket and pillow for the child's use. Make sure to bring some tissues and wet wipes for those little emergencies while in the car or on the road. Pack some sunblock lotion, as well as insect repellent lotion or stickers. This can be handy when going to the beach or on a camping trip in the wilderness.
Air Travel with children
Travelling with children may require you to purchase airplane seats for them, depending on the age of the children. For children below two years old, some airlines allow the child to travel with an adult without need of purchasing additional seats. However, they will be charged an infant fare which can be equivalent to 10% of the adult fare. However, for children above two years old, they may need to buy additional seats. Also, children will need their own passports if they are below 16 years of age. All children, no matter what age will require their own plane tickets.
During take-off and landing, give the child some chewy candy bar or a lollipop to occupy them. Have some plastic bags ready just in case they get motion sick. Prepare motion sickness tablets. The children can have their own carry-ons packed with a toy, some food, water or juice, a small towel, and a small pillow or blanket. Make sure their bags have bag tags with your name and contact information on it, just in case the child losses the bag. However, make sure their passports and travel documents are in your bag and not their bags.

Curtis Dahl: How did your wine appreciation develop?
Answer: My wine appreciation started in 1998 when I was doing my MBA. I had the opportunity to start tasting wine on special events and I started buying a few of them, starting with the low cost ones and increasing the value of my purchases over time.

No, you cannot in general assume that 1999-01-16 = 1999-01-16T00:00:00Z You may chose to interpret dates without timezones as belonging to a particular timezone, often the local or default timezone, in your application but that's specific to your usage.

Is this a case where the common usage should outweigh other concerns, especially when common usage includes an international standard? It seems as though XML Schema could have avoided adding to the ISO spec in this gray area by simply allowing implementations to assume GMT-- though I am even a little fuzzy with how I think this would work. Essentially, isn't it safe to presume (although the XML Schema spec prohibits it): 1999-01-16 = 1999-01-16T00:00:00Z Assuming that 1999-01-16 is the 16th of January 1999-- shouldn't it follow that the starting instant of the date *is* 00:00:00Z? I suppose not, I am faltering back and forth between a day is 24 hours (roguhly) beginning in timezone X and a day begins when the international date line is crossed. I am sure all of this has been thought through already (probably for many years now).

Jillian,

People usually answer posts, as I am with this one, by writing above the previous post. They are not being "rude" when they forget to delete the prior posts ... just forgetful because they cannot see it. This causes some folks greatĀaggravationĀand others none whatsoever.Ā

You may want to use honey next time.

Rondina (who would love to leave your post attached, but doubts you would see the humor)
