Companies looking to purchase LCD flat panel displays in volume this year could face sudden price increases or a lack of product availability due to an impending LCD shortage, according to industry vendors.
LCD makers Philips Consumers Electronics, ViewSonic, Samsung Electronics America, and NEC-Mitsubishi Display of America this week each expressed concern that the LCD market could be stricken by a product shortage.
These concerns were warranted by a number of factors including increased interest in buying LCDs, a less-than-adequate supply of the "motherglass" used to produce LCD screens, and a recognised market cycle for LCDs that contributed to a similar LCD shortage in 1999.
IDC analyst Alan Promisel confirmed the likeliness of an impending LCD shortage and said that even though it was an expected supply and demand cycle, the looming LCD shortage was "catching the manufacturers off guard."
"It could be severe in the fourth quarter [of 2002]," said Marc McConnaughey, the senior vice president of Advanced Technologies for ViewSonic.
According to McConnaughey, prices will increase if the shortage gets severe enough and companies buying LCD products will be unevenly effected. Companies with long-standing relationships and more clout on the size of their orders will likely fair better when demand outstrips supply, he said.
"But, if it becomes a strong shortage, everyone can be affected and production could be disrupted," added McConnaughey.
The cost of making LCDs is already beginning to increase for manufactures like Philips, according to John Parisi, the marketing manager with Philips.
"Prices are starting to increase, and this tells us there will be a shortage at the latter part of Q3 [2002] and Q4, especially on 15-inch sizes," Parisi said.
For company's buying LCDs, the current US$30 to $40 increase in the manufacturing cost of LCDs will mean an extra $55 to $60 on the price tag of every new LCD, Parisi said.
Philips' fifth-generation motherglass plant, that makes the base component of LCD screens, is just now coming online. But when asked if the new motherglass plant would meet the demand being created by the expanding LCD market, Parisi said "no way."
A new motherglass plant from Samsung is also expected to be in production by the end of this quarter, according to Ian Miller, director of technology for displays at Samsung, in Irvine, Calif., and Rey Roque, vice president of marketing for Samsung.
"It takes a few months to be fully operational and to get your ultimate product yields" when opening a new motherglass plant, added Miller.
Roque said LCD shortages will probably occur before the fourth quarter of 2002, with spot shortages already beginning to occur.
While it is hard to say what products will be impacted, the Samsung executives said motherglass manufacturers have better margins on flat panels than in notebooks and therefore a shortage might incline manufacturers to produce more for the display industry than for the notebook OEMs.
But few in the industry expected such a dramatic uptick in LCD sales. While notebook computers that use LCDs experienced a less-than-record year in sales during 2001, flat panel displays were quite a different story, said Roque.
"We are looking at 50 per cent to 70 per cent larger growth this year over last year in flat panels," said Roque.
"And that's in the United States alone," added Miller.
Research by DisplaySearch confirms a sharp increase in LCD sales. According to DisplaySearch, worldwide LCD monitor shipments increased 143 per cent from the third quarter of 2000 to the same time in 2001.
Both Miller and Roque were reluctant to predict the result of the huge increase in sales but they did say prices will either remain stable -- rather than decrease as they did last year -- or buyers may actually see a price increase in flat panels.
Todd Fender, the LCD product manager for NEC-Mitsubishi, said NEC will attempt to weather the upcoming LCD shortage without raising prices. But NEC does not manufacture its own motherglass, and Fender said he has already begun to see price increases from NEC's motherglass providers, a troubling sign.
"If the cost [of making LCDs] gets out of line for us, we may be forced to raise prices. But our business strategy doesn't have a price increase in the forecast," Fender said.
IDC's Promisel said the impending LCD shortage is a common supply-and-demand trend for LCD products, and that the industry "went from a dramatic shortage a few years back to a glut, and the demand is rising increasingly now, sort of catching manufacturers off guard."

Mana Weaponeers
This is within the spell shop of the Elven Village. You need to travel in the tree from base: Up, SE, E, E, SE. This puts you inside the spell shop then you need to travel down into the Mana Weaponeers Dell.
First Quest
Before he lets you get apart of the guild he wants you to bring him a Mana Based weapon to prove you are dedicated enough to be a Mana Weaponeer. Simple enough bring him an Obsideon Wand (might wanna get a second so you can later make yourself a Bronze Vambrace too). Eventually you'll want a third OW.
Second Quest 1000+ Mana
Once you get 1000 mana and come back and have progressed accordingly in the Mage guild a runner appears beside the man in the arena here. After a big long speech… He says your training in accuracy basically and damage. But first is first, and sends you off for killing 100 witches in the eastern cemetary. Around the up and down portion near the castle. Netting the completion of this quest gives about 2% better accuracy for all mana based weapons. (lowering every other weapons accuracy at the same time) Good news is if you die, while recovering you using an Elven Bow isn't affected (100% accuracy). Bad news is unless you can easily kill white slimes and azure golems your mana weapons are gonna stink for awhile.
Third Quest 2000+ Mana
This quest is getting critical hits from Mana Weapons. You must get 100 critical hits against any ogres in the Ogre Cave. Surprisingly it's a bit easier than the previous quest. When you've done this, your critical hits for Mana Weapons will have gone up. The counter seems to count even hits that don't show up. Best to just get a bit of kills from all three ogres and then just check back since you can check progress at the mana weaponeers guild. This quest is alot faster than it seems.
Quest 4 3000+ Mana
This quest goes back to focusing on better accuracy. You must kill 500 Imps, a job that can take up quite some time.. But once you've done it, your Mana Weapons will once again feature better accuracy (and all other weapons again lower).
Quest 5 5000+ Mana
Now you're into something else for a change. You're going to have to kill 750 creatures with the Obsidian Wand, in order to use as little mana per attack as possible. You can kill any creatures you like, as long as it's with the Obsidian Wand, but I advise you to kill the creatures that are the strongest, but that you can still 1rd with the Wand. That way, you get some exp/gold out of it too. After the quest, your Mana Weapons will use less mana. Perfect since the spells take quite a bit to cast as is Especially Mana Barrier.
Quest 6 7000+ Mana
Back to critical hits we go, as you must now get 250 critical hits on any creature in the Sky Castle. This will take less long than killing, since you will probably get more than 1 critical hit on average per kill from the previously done quest. After the quest and having returned as usual, you'll have more critical hits from Mana Weapons.
Quest 7 10000+ Mana
Now you're onto accuracy again. Your quest may not be the simplest of all this time. You must first find, and then kill Salena 100 times (this is certainly a pain!). She is in the Plains, and I suggest you use the map to find her. Once found, keep walking on her spot to find and kill her. Afterwards, return and your Mana Weapons will be in accuracy once again (and all other weapons are downgraded again in accuracy). Check her stats best to 1rnd her since she moves if you take too long to kill her then well you gotta find her all over again. Luckily you keep the kills :-P
Quest 8 15000+ Mana
This quest is to learn you what kind of Mana Weapons there are. You should've had'em all by now. You must get one of each Mana Weapon, and bring it back to the Mana Weaponeers Dell. There are 7 in total: Obsidian Wand, Emerald Orb, Shining Claw, Iron Baton, Ruby Mace, Blackened Staff and Ferrule of Reki Mia. You're not rewarded with any bonus, but if you have the mana, you can proceed with the next quest.

Hedgehog is something which takes me right back to childhood. I remember my Auntie Hilary and Granny used to come up north to visit and bring homemade caramel shortbread and hedgehog.
So this weekend when my sister was over for a super fun day of baking we decided to revive this childhood classic. We didn't have the original recipe to hand so we sort of made it up as we went...
120g butter
300g Chocolate of your choice.
3 tbsp golden syrup
200g Digestive Biscuits
Mini Marshmallows
Anything else you fancy really.
We started by melting chocolate, butter and golden syrup in a saucepan. Once fully melted we added crushed digestives, marshmallows and cherry flavoured raisins (a wonderfully weird creation from Nakd).
Once fully mixed and coated in chocolate, spread the mixture into a lined brownie tin and pop it into the fridge to set.
Once set completely, chop into chunks and enjoy!
We used 80% dark chocolate which was very intense so chopped into bitesize pieces. The cherry infused raisins added a cherry flavour tp the chocolate which was amazing. I think these bitesize beauties would make a fabulous gift, especially if you know someone's favourite chocolate or sweet treat, as you can add just about anything to it!
This is also a great way to use up any left over Easter egg chocolate you might have, although left over chocolate is a bit of an alien term in my house.
Hope you all had a fabulous chocolate filled Easter!

Kleos (Greek: κλέος) is the Greek word often translated to "renown", or "glory". It is related to the word "to hear" and carries the implied meaning of "what others hear about you". A Greek hero earns kleos through accomplishing great deeds.
According to Gregory Nagy, besides the meaning of "glory", kleos can also be used as the medium (in this case, the ancient Greek poetry or song) which conveys glory.[1]
Kleos is invariably transferred from father to son; the son is responsible for carrying on and building upon the "glory" of the father. This is a reason for Penelope putting off her suitors for so long, and one justification for Medea's murder of her own children was to cut short Jason's kleos.
Kleos is a common theme in Homer's epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, the main example in the latter being that of Odysseus and his son Telemachus, who is concerned that his father may have died a pathetic and pitiable death at sea rather than a reputable and gracious one in battle. The Iliad is about gaining ultimate kleos on the battlefields of Troy while the Odyssey is the ten-year quest of Odysseus' nostos (or return journey). Telemachus fears that he has been deprived of kleos. This links to hereditary kleos. Kleos is sometimes related to aidos — the sense of shame.
According to Gregory Nagy, Kleos is a noun, derived from the verb kluein, which means 'hear'.[2]
From other source, the Greek term kleos is derived from the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) term *ḱlewos, which expressed a similar concept in PIE society. As the PIE people had no concept of the continuation of the individual after life, one could only hope to achieve *ḱlewos *ndhgwhitom, or "the fame that does not decay."[3] As Bruce Lincoln notes, "In a universe where impersonal matter endured forever but the personal self was extinguished at death, the most which could survive of that self was a rumor, a reputation. For this, the person craving immortality—a condition proper only to the gods and antithetical to human existence—was totally reliant on poets and poetry."[4]
Cognates include Sanskrit, श्रवस् (śravas); Avestan, 𐬯𐬭𐬀𐬬𐬀𐬵; Armenian, լու (low); Old Church Slavonic slava, and Old Irish, clú. Compare to the Greek: κλύω (kluō - I hear).
The Greek philosopher Plato, in his dialog The Symposium relating a discussion about love, makes a digression into the subject of fame and glory. It is in the section that deals with the dialog between Socrates and Diotima. She is explaining that men search ways to reach some kind of immortality, for instance by means of physical and intellectual procreation. Then asserts that the love for fame and glory is very strong, and in fact to obtain them, men are ready to engage in the greatest effort, and to take risks and make sacrifices, even at the cost of their lives. Then makes specific references to Alcestis that died to save Admetus, or Achilles to avenge Patroclus, and to Codrus, as examples of heroes in search of fame and immortal renown.[5]

If you already have a collection of species sightings they can be submitted as a data set rather than one at a time using the record a sighting form. A data set needs to be in a structured data format (spread sheet or database) with an identifier for each record and the information about the sightings in individual columns. There are some example templates below. For more information on the data standard used by the ALA the full Darwin Core schema can also be found below. When records are submitted as a data set they will be given an information page describing the data and it's terms of use as well as displaying the usage via the ALA.
The first stage in submitting a data set is to produce a file suitable for loading into the ALA. If you manage your data in a spread sheet you can create copy with Darwin Core column headings or copy your data into one of the templates below.
If you manage your data in a data base you'll need to produce and export a file. Once you have a suitably formatted file, the sandbox (link below) is a tool to run a trial load of your data (without it being loaded to the main ALA) to test if it displays correctly. The ALA Sandbox also provides an upload capability. The sandbox can be used to map and test data, when the data is ready for loading it can then be described and submitted for review before it is loaded into the ALA.
If you have any questions about submitting data to the ALA please contact the ALA Data Management Team below.

The Atlas of Living Australia offers an integrated set of biological observations to Australian and International researchers and the community. This requires that each dataset be licensed in a way that ensures that researchers and the community are able to reuse data that you submit.
Our preferred license is the Creative Commons Attribution license, where users of your data are required to attribute their use of your data to you.
We also support the Creative Commons Zero license, by which you can dedicate your data to the Public Domain. This provides for very simple reuse of your data, given the thousands of datasets in the Atlas.
If you have commercial concerns about your data the Creative Commons Attribution, Non-commercial license withholds permission for the use of your data for commercial purposes without your providing additional permission.
We do not accept data under any of the Creative Commons licenses that include the "No Derivatives" term, as a key purpose of the Atlas is to facilitate the re-use of data and the creation of derivative products.
Integrating or aggregating data is the process of bringing multiple, disparate datasets together and combining them into a single data structure. Combining and standardising the different data sets allows them to be searched as a single unit using common terms. The ALA brings together hundreds of data sets and makes them available through a common interface. The ALA uses Darwin Core, an internationally developed biodiversity data interchange standard, as it's core data model and point of standardisation.
Data sets submitted for loading into the ALA are reviewed by the Data Management Team for the type of content and ability to be mapped to Darwin core. Then in communication with owner/custodian the data is processed to a format suitable for loading using data transformation software. If there is going to be an ongoing load schedule the processing saved for future repeat use.
Contact the Data Management team below if you have questions about the ALA data integration process.

A small proportion of species in the ALA are considered sensitive. There are many reasons a species might be considered sensitive such as being highly endangered or at risk of collection or disturbance. The data associated with these sensitive species is also considered sensitive meaning that if the exact location of the species was known, individuals of that species might be at risk. To protect these species, the ALA has a sensitive data service to lessen the accuracy of location data for sensitive species records.
Each state and territory supplies the ALA with a list of sensitive species in their jurisdiction and the rules for processing records of those species.
When a species record from a sensitive species list is uploaded via Record a Sighting, the location of the record is modified according to the relevant rules. The location may be completely withheld or the accuracy of location coordinates may be adjusted. The ALA's data integration tool, Sandbox (http://sandbox.ala.org.au/datacheck/), also runs sensitive data processing software.
To discuss the inclusion or removal of species on a sensitive species list, please contact the list owner specified on the sensitive species lists.

Forest edge reveals habitat loss in Madagascar
(Phys.org)—The dry forests of Madagascar can use all the help they can get. New research suggests a promising tool for understanding and conserving these threatened environments.
In a paper published in the journal PLoS-ONE on Sept. 4, Brooke E. Crowley of the University of Cincinnati and colleagues Keriann C. McGoogan and Shawn M. Lehman from the University of Toronto use carbon and nitrogen chemical signatures in leaves to gauge the effects of environmental disturbance at forest boundaries.
"Edge effects represent an inevitable and important consequence of habitat loss and fragmentation," Crowley said. "Such effects can have a substantial impact on species, communities and ecosystems."
The dry, deciduous forests of western Madagascar display an abundance of edge effects as half of the original tree cover has been cut back in recent decades to create farms and pastures.
"The remaining forest is highly fragmented and prone to extreme edge effects," Crowley said. Previous studies have documented changes in plant and animal abundance, size and diversity at the boundaries of forest parcels around the world. However, Crowley said, there is little information on the biological processes resulting from edge creation, particularly in the rare tropical dry forests of Madagascar.
Edge effects can be measured using biotic or living indicators like tree height or species diversity. They can also be measured with abiotic or non-living indicators like light levels and temperature. Crowley and colleagues suggest that the stable isotope data can generate an integrated chemical signature that summarizes the local biotic and abiotic indicators. In particular, Crowley looked at ratios between carbon-13 and carbon-12 and between nitrogen-15 and nitrogen-14 as preserved in plant leaves from the forest edge into the interior of the forest.
"Stable isotope values in leaves may be better quantifiers of edge effects than other variables," Crowley said.
The Madagascar study suggests that different isotopic ratios may be required to understand different types of forest environments. For example, earlier studies suggest that carbon ratios vary strongly with distance from the forest edge, but these studies were conducted in moist tropical rainforests. In Madagascar's dry forests, carbon varied strongly with height above the ground, but not with distance from the edge. Nitrogen, however, showed a strong relationship with distance from the forest edge.
The strong connection between nitrogen isotope ratios and distance from the forest edge will require further research to understand the mechanism at work, Crowley said. It is unlikely that a difference in plant distribution between edge and interior can fully explain the variation in nitrogen ratios. Human factors like farming, food gathering and herding may tell part of the story. Perhaps the distribution of decomposing leaf litter, or the depth of interior plan roots, or soil conditions are at work, but none of these factors is obviously driving the values recorded at the test site.
Meanwhile, the fragile forest endures ongoing assaults. The co-authors studied an area within one of Madagascar's national parks, but the effects of human activity were widespread.
"Despite its protected status, there is ample evidence of human disturbance within the forest," Crowley said. "We encountered cows as well as numerous meter-deep pits from locals digging up yams. Humans are clearly affecting the forest here, but the long-term ramifications of their actions are unknown."
The research described in this paper was supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.

Each Monday, staff writers Kevin Melrose and Steve Sunu discuss their five favorite covers from the previous Wednesday's new comic releases, selecting from among them CBR's Cover of the Week.
Keep reading for Kevin and Steve's favorites from the week of Jan. 22, and then discuss your choices in the CBR forums.
Mike Allred gives a clever nod to the classic TV series' window-cameo gag with this illustration that depicts the Dynamic Duo scaling the masked visage of Lincoln on Mount Rushmore in support of - who else? - the master of disguise False Face. -- Kevin Melrose
Wes Craig's "Deadly Class" #1 cover is just cool. While the character line work certainly shows off Craig's deft talent at detail, it's the overall design that really makes this cover a visual treat. The background blue-and-white juxtaposed with the single pink line in the foreground and the fully-colored character in the middle ground make for a great visual showcase for Craig's design work -- not to mention the little skull in one of the circles. -- Steve Sunu
I like when the "Pop Gun War" creator dips his toe into more mainstream fare, like "Omega the Unknown," "Prophet" or "Deadly Class," even if in the case of the latter it's only for a variant cover. His work differs so much from that of series artist Wes Craig that it creates an amazing contrast. There's something about Dalrymple's style that feels rooted in the raw, ornate drawings scrawled in the pages of countless notebooks in countless classrooms. That's showcased here, as the comic's logo serves as the foundation for the rest of the elements on the cover, from the people to the buildings to the trees. -- Kevin Melrose
Cliff Chiang has proved his ability to work actual wonders with "Wonder Woman" covers, and it should come as no surprise that Issue 27 continues this trend. The blood-spattered floor surrounded by broken statues of the gods is a great concept, and Chiang pulls it off in his signature style -- but he really nails the expression of disdain tinged with regret on Wonder Woman's face as she surveys the wreckage. -- Steve Sunu
Cover of the Week mainstay Yuko Shimizu is back with this arresting cover for the first issue of "The Unwritten: Apocalypse," which, according to the solicitation, finds Tom Taylor "stranded at the beginning of all creation." It's only fitting then that Shimizu depicts the protagonist emerging from the shell of a cicada, a symbol of resurrection, clinging to what I presume is a lily, a symbol of birth. -- Kevin Melrose

Mirzo Ziyoyev killed, Mirzokhujo Ahmadov interviewed
Vodpod videos no longer available.
February 21, 2008
by IVAN WATSON
Ivan Watson, NPR
Mirzokhujar Ahmadov, a former Islamist opposition commander who now heads the anti-organized crime police unit in the former rebel stronghold town of Garm, walks past his jeep, which was strafed with bullets during a clash with an elite Tajik police unit in early February. Many Tajiks feared the incident would reignite Tajikistan's civil war.
What role should Islam play in the daily life and politics of Muslim countries? Almost all of the secular authoritarian governments in former Soviet Central Asia have settled this divisive question by outlawing and, in some cases, brutally repressing Islamist movements. Only Tajikistan, a small country bordering Afghanistan, allows an Islamist political party to operate.
Muhiddin Kabiri is the chairman of Tajikistan's Islamic Renaissance Party, the only legal Islamic political party in the former Soviet Union.
"It [makes] us unique and, at the same time, it's a very big responsibility to show a new face of Islam, especially political Islam, in our region," he says.
Kabiri describes himself as a moderate caught between two political extremes. He says the Central Asian region needs a new model "because the people are tired from secular authoritarian regimes and [religious] radicalism — radical groups, extremist groups," he says.
A Party Increasingly Marginalized
The Islamic Renaissance Party started out in Soviet days as an underground youth movement. During the 1990s, it became a leading faction in an opposition coalition that fought a bloody civil war against the Russian-backed Tajik government. As part of a peace deal in 1997, the party's fighters laid down their arms and promised not to try to turn Tajikistan into an Islamic republic.
"They reiterated their intent that they would not restructure the state — that Islam was part of their agenda, but it was not the only element," says Roger Kangas, a Central Asia expert at the National Defense University in Washington.
But the Islamic Renaissance Party has been increasingly marginalized in the decade since the war. Kangas says its leader, Kabiri, is one of only two party members to win seats in Parliament after what he called deeply flawed elections.
"They've faced some difficult challenges, but I would say even with that, they've not radicalized," Kangas says. "One could almost expect that to happen, but they've not."
The Tajik government has jailed several top IRP leaders on corruption charges, while many former opposition fighters have been gradually forced out of positions in the Tajik security services.
Many Tajiks feared that a deadly clash earlier this month between rival factions within the Interior Ministry could reignite the civil war.
Echoes of Civil War
In Dushanbe, more than a hundred uniformed officers turned out for the funeral of an elite police colonel who was killed while trying to capture another police officer, former Islamist opposition field commander Mirzokhujar Ahmadov, who now heads a police department in a remote mountain town north of the capital.
In Garm, Ahmadov gave a visitor a tour of his bullet-riddled headquarters, where he was still working weeks after the incident. Dressed in a fur hat and flashing several gold teeth, Ahmadov insisted his men fought in self defense when they found themselves suddenly surrounded by more than 30 masked Interior Ministry troops.
The commander demonstrated how he fought with a Kalashnikov assault rifle from a window on the second floor of his building.
Outside the building, blood still marked the snow where the slain police commander, Oleg Zakharchenko, was shot in the head. During the civil war, Zakharchenko fought with the pro-government faction.
"Our [police] unit is the only left from the former opposition in Garm," Ahmadov said. "That's why they want to capture or prosecute us like they did the others."
The former rebel commander said he would not abandon his post, even if the government sends more troops to arrest him.
"If they do that, it will mean the start of another civil war," Ahmadov said.
Claims of Government Oppression
Kabiri, of the Islamic Renaissance Party, denies any links to Ahmadov. Instead, he complains about what he says is government oppression of the young generation of devout Muslims in Tajikistan.
In recent years, the government has banned women from wearing Islamic headscarves in schools, closed a number of mosques and banned woman and children from attending mosques.
In the town of Vahdat, the Muslim cleric claims observant Muslims had more freedom during the last years of the Soviet Union than they do today. Why, the priest asks, are women prohibited from entering mosques while they are allowed to go to bars and nightclubs?
As for the ban on children in mosques, that decree is largely ignored at the mosque in Vahdat. Many young boys prayed and studied the Quran side by side with more than a hundred men.
Creeping Islamization?
Among many secular Tajiks, there is growing concern about what some describe as the creeping Islamization of Tajik society.
"We're scared they want to take us back to the Middle Ages," says Saifula Safarov, who runs a government think tank in Dushanbe. "After all, we're not very far from Afghanistan and Pakistan."
Parviz Mulujanov, a Tajik political analyst, worries that government pressure may drive politically active Muslims underground.
"If you put pressure on them … you would see new leaders coming up. New leaders of a more radical character," Mulujanov says. "You would see a rise of confrontation between this political party and the government."
That's a view echoed by Western diplomats in Dushanbe — and by Islamic Renaissance Party leader Kabiri, who says he has come under fire from hard-line Islamists, who accuse him of not being Muslim enough.
"Any violation of rights, they will help radicalism and radical groups," he says.
Situation in Tajikistan took a definite turn for the worse last week-end. Colonel Oleg Zakharchenko, commander of the Interior Ministry's OMON (special assignment police squad) was killed in a clash between representatives of two different security structures in Garm located 220 kilometers east of Dushanbe. The opposition claims that OMON was dispatched to Garm to deal with former activists of the United Tajik Opposition energetically hunted down all over the republic these days. Official Dushanbe denies the innuendo. What information is available indicates that the Tajik authorities prepare a major military operation to find the officer's killers and avenge his death. Garm population braces itself for defense of the township. Threat of a new civil war is once again the talk of the day.
Preparations for a reporting back conference of law enforcement agencies lasted in Garm all last week. The authorities maintain hat Zakharchenko with some subordinates set out for conference in Garm on Saturday. When Zakharchenko with his men approached the Garm District Department of Internal Affairs, however, they were set upon by men wielding automatic weapons. The skirmish lasted 30-40 minutes. "Zakharchenko was killed right then and there. His four subordinates were wounded and hospitalized," RIA-Novosti quoted a source in the Tajik Interior Ministry as saying.
The opposition meanwhile claims that participation in the conference was not what Zakharchenko intended. "They [OMON servicemen – Kommersant] rode up in two KamAZ trucks, formed a ring around the building of the district department of internal affairs, and told the people inside to lay down their weapons," Dodojon Atovulloyev of the movement Vatandor said. According to the opposition leader, the visitors were particularly interested in Colonel Mirzohodja Ahmadov, Organized Crime Department Commander. Ahmadov himself confirmed it in an interview with the BBC Persian Service on Saturday. A field commander of the United Tajik Opposition in the civil war in Tajikistan (1992 – 1997), he commands vast respect from his former subordinates and the locals. Ahmadov said he knew for a fact that the republican OMON was coming to eliminate him for his past with the United Tajik Opposition.
Representatives of the opposition maintain that an undeclared war on former activists of the United Tajik Opposition is under way in the republic, mounted on President Emomali Rakhmon's orders. "A great deal of them were imprisoned. Others are waiting for their turn," Atovulloyev told this correspondent. The authorities began with ex-leaders of the opposition (people like former head of the Customs Committee Mirzohidji Nizomov, Tajikgaz ex-director and Democratic Party leader Mahmadruzi Iskandarov) and worked their way down to whoever had never occupied any key positions in the United Tajik Opposition. Mukim Muhabbatov, commander of a border guards detachment and the brother of a prominent opposition activist Salam Muhabbatov, was killed last summer under suspicious circumstances. Major Tohir Chorshanbiyev, commander of another border guards detachment and another ex-commander of the United Tajik Opposition, was arrested in Gorny Badakhshan last year. The order to collar Chorshanbiyev came from Dushanbe and it was to Dushanbe that he was promptly escorted. When Chorshanbiyev was taken to Dushanbe, however, his followers in Gorny Badakhshan took a hostage (the head of the local state security department), and the authorities were compelled to let Chorshanbiyev go. Last but not the least, arrest of another former activist of the United Tajik Opposition was attempted in Garm not long ago. This man, however, escaped.
Spokesman for the Tajik Interior Ministry claims that this structure and the State Committee for National Security set up an investigation panel and dispatched it to Garm. What information is available to this newspaper indicates that the authorities prepare a major military operation to avenge Zakharchenko's death. Several rallies took place in the Garm district yesterday, their participants demanding from the authorities to put an end to provocations that might trigger a new civil war.

A growing mass of energized, angry White people have shifted the political spectrum. From a pro-White perspective, this is a good thing.http://www.occidentaldissent.com/2010/09/07/summer-of-discontent/#more-4309
Atlanta, Georgia
Writing in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Cynthia Tucker connects the dotsbetween the Arizona immigration showdown, the Ground Zero Mosque debate, opposition to birthright citizenship, Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally, and the growing perception in America that Barack Obama is a Muslim.
White people are afraid of their impending minority status.
Changing racial demographics have created a season of "civic craziness." It has provoked a "backlash against the browning of America" which is now "blowing" at "gale force."
A broad economic recovery is needed to "drain the vicious energy from the backlash." Economic prosperity will "restore faith" in the American Dream. Right now that "faith is fading" and Muslims are the "easiest targets."
That's not far off the mark.
First, there is an Implicit White Nationalist movement that is deformed in various ways by the reigning taboos of our society. The people involved in this movement yearn to return the more innocent days of White America while dodging uncomfortable questions about race.
Implicit White Nationalists are like nostalgic goldfish who demand to preserve their environment while failing to acknowledge the existence of an aquarium. They are animated by the same impulses as Explicit White Nationalists, but would never publicly admit it for fear of losing their respectability.
Second, the Implicit White Nationalist movement is fueled by the symbolism of a negro alien in the White House and the economic dislocation that has followed in the wake of his election. If the economy started booming again, as it did under Bill Clinton in the 1990s, "nativist sentiment" would undoubtedly subside, and would decline further still under a reassuring White president.
Third, Muslims and illegal aliens are soft targets, and White people can get away with attacking them in the mainstream without having to suffer much in the way of consequences. As Tucker points out, the number of illegal aliens coming to America has declined, but the perception that illegal immigration is a problem has grown.
White America has undeniably grown more sensitive about questions of identity. The terrible economy, a non-White president, changing demographics, and challenges to their cultural identity have all contributed to this insolent attitude.
This is also the exact opposite of the analysis that prevails in White Nationalist circles.
From the vantagepoint of the Far Left, White America is moving away from them in a reactionary direction. From the perspective of the Far Right, White America is still so far away from the radical position that it appears nothing has changed.
The mainstream Left has been discredited. Barack Obama's coalition has collapsed and the Democrats will likely lose the House in November. The mainstream Right has been under attack from insurgent Tea Party candidates.
A growing mass of energized, angry White people have shifted the political spectrum. From a pro-White perspective, this is a good thing.
People who are mad as hell, politically engaged, feel like outsiders, and who are searching for answers to America's national decline are already traveling down the road to radicalism.
The real question is this: are the existing radicals willing to build bridges to their peers, or will the purists continue to burn them?
DARPA has been trying to crawl inside the minds of soldiers for a while now, but a new ultrasound technology could let them get deeper inside than ever. Working under a DARPA grant, a researcher at Arizona State is developing transcranial pulsed ultrasound technology that could be implanted in troops' battle helmets, allowing soldiers to manipulate brain functions to boost alertness, relieve stress, or even reduce the effects of traumatic brain injury.
Manipulating the brain to enhance warfighting capabilities and maintain mental acuity on the battlefield has long been a topic of interest for DARPA and various military research labs, but the technology to do so remains limited. Deep brain stimulation (DBS), for instance, requires surgically implanted electrodes to stimulate neural tissues, while less-invasive methods like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) possess limited reach and low spatial resolution.
But Dr. William J. Tyler, an assistant professor of life sciences at ASU, writes on the DoD's "Armed With Science" blog: "To overcome the above limitations, my laboratory has engineered a novel technology which implements transcranial pulsed ultrasound to remotely and directly stimulate brain circuits without requiring surgery. Further, we have shown this ultrasonic neuromodulation approach confers a spatial resolution approximately five times greater than TMS and can exert its effects upon subcortical brain circuits deep within the brain."Tyler's technology, packaged in a warfighter's helmet, would allow soldiers to flip a switch to stimulate different regions of their brains, helping them relieve battle stress when it's time to get some rest, or to boost alertness during long periods without sleep. Grunts could even relieve pain from injuries or wounds without resorting to pharmaceutical drugs. More importantly, in the periods after brain trauma ultrasound technology could reduce swelling and metabolic damage that is often the root cause of lasting brain damage.

The main foreign-policy doctrine of Turkmenistan is the so-called "permanent and positive neutrality." In the photo: the presidents of the Caspian states summit in Tehran, October 2007
In addition to declarations of non-interference in internal affairs, respect for sovereignty and others, the proclamation of neutrality had a very specific motives.
It is no secret that many of the CIS leaders anxiously watching for the national-communist renaissance in Russia, believing that after this may be followed by the Russian overtures to restore the Soviet Union. Not wanting to risk and hedging of such risks before the State Duma elections in Russia, the government of Turkmenistan has decided to further strengthen its sovereignty, and in 1996 adopted a constitutional law on the "direct and positive neutrality of Turkmenistan", was amended in the constitution but on one of the meetings of the General Assembly was submitted a declaration of sovereignty, which received unanimous approval, which was confirmed by the relevant resolution. In fairness it should be noted that no legal filling this resolution the General Assembly and does not imply any obligation in respect of Turkmenistan, the United Nations in accordance with it shall not be held.
Another motive was the fact that the armed forces of Turkmenistan at that time were the weakest in the region. Affected the mass exodus of military experts in Russia and other countries, the lack of proper skills and base their training. And this at a time when Iran has already become a strong and well-armed and ambitious regional player, who proclaimed messianic ideas. In neighboring Afghanistan, was the height of the civil war and a wave of Taliban, rather transparently hinted at the establishment of the Caliphate, including the territory of Central Asia.
Also remained many unresolved issues with neighbors in the former Soviet Union. If Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan have been no serious disagreement over territorial and other problems, then to Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan, these problems were part of them remains to this day.
One of the main problems in Central Asia – access to water resources – both time and became the principal in the relations between Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. The main source of water – the Amu Darya enters the territory of Turkmenistan is from Uzbekistan, nourishes the Karakum Canal, and then plays the role of the border river between the two countries. The quantity and quality of water flowing into the territory of a State has always played the role of "powder keg". And this issue is still unresolved, between the two countries do not have full agreement on the division of water and mutual guarantees of quotas and monitoring water quality. The existing intergovernmental commission annually produces the quota intake volume for each country, but alas, no full-fledged legal framework. Additional mutual suspicion and distrust is the fact of finding the head water intakes, carrying water into the country, the territories of neighboring states. It always leaves room for blackmail and speculation, especially because the Uzbek government has repeatedly hinted that they were ready to take control of strategic and vital facilities, even on the territories of neighboring states. Effect on the inter-state relations and the fate of a large Uzbek minority in Turkmenistan is exposed, and exposed hitherto national discrimination.
An even more serious situation around the Caspian Sea. Numerous speculations on commodities and transit potential of the Caspian Sea, has created a series of verbal and diplomatic conflicts and territorial claims. The quintessence of these disputes and conflicts have become words of the first President of Turkmenistan Niyazov at a meeting on the status of the Caspian Sea, that "… the Caspian oil does not smell, and blood …". Things have gone so far that between Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan until recently there was virtually no full diplomatic relations, including the lack of ambassadors and embassies. Was renewed dialogue between the countries after coming to power, the second president of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov was again marred by a number of mutual claims and statements, which again postponed the decision of the territorial issues between countries. In this case, the Azerbaijani authorities are well aware that alternative routes for transporting Russian Turkmen main resource – natural gas from Turkmenistan to Europe can now take place only through the waters of the Caspian Sea through Azerbaijan. Using this fact, the authorities have taken the last fence, leaving the decision on determining the status of the Caspian Sea and the delineation of the disputed fields "for later", waiting for concessions from Turkmenistan.
Paradoxically, it is now the strongest guarantor of stability in the region is a country which has no common borders with Turkmenistan – China. After commissioning of the pipeline Turkmenistan-Uzbekistan-Kazakhstan-China, the latter to build a pipeline for their money, managed to combine economic and partly political interests of suppliers and transit countries, thereby forcing the delay, suspend or eliminate the critical moments in the relationship. None of the leaders in the region will not dare to jeopardize its gas exports to China to deal with some bilateral issues, which is a serious limiting factor in international relations. Moreover, given the fact that China and Iran have a long-standing "strategic" relationship, China has already performed a counterweight to Iran's desire to occupy a dominant position in Turkmenistan. In fact, already happened division of spheres of economic influence, in which Turkmenistan is more involved in China's orbit. Numerous Chinese loans, supply of equipment and contracts for maintenance, guarantees on long-term and increasing purchases of natural gas, on the one hand, and the fundamental failure of China to intervene in the internal affairs of Turkmenistan, on the other hand, make it until a certain time is almost the ideal partner for Turkmen authorities.
But the main problem for Turkmenistan, as well as for the whole of Central Asia, Afghanistan is long. Threat of the spread of radical Islam, terrorism, drug trafficking and the refugee problem, all this makes the government of Turkmenistan seriously engage in relationships with this country. Based on the principles of the concept of positive neutrality, at all times of internal conflict in Afghanistan, the Turkmen authorities were able to find common language with all parties, whether they are representatives of the Taliban, the regional leaders in Herat and Mazar-i-Sharif. After the departure of the Taliban, the Turkmen leadership also adheres to this strategy – on the one hand developing relations with the central authorities in Kabul and negotiating with them to build a trans-Afghan gas pipeline to Pakistan and India, on the other hand, developing cross-border cooperation with local authorities.
Having, as they seemed undoubted success in building a "positive neutrality", the Turkmen authorities have gone further and have hosted the country's Centre for Preventive Diplomacy United Nations, which aims to play a role no one arbitrator and the center of peacemaking in the event conditions for conflicts and their prevention. However, neither local nor international observers did not note a significant activity and activities of the Centre for conflict resolution in the region and regard the existence of the Centre solely as another fetish in the frame so dear to the Turkmen authorities' positive neutrality.

Ashgabat visited the Assistant to the President of the Republic of Belarus Viktor Sheiman roving (pictured), who conveyed greetings to President of Turkmenistan and a written message from his Belarusian counterpart.
Information on the meeting there was little if any. Internet newspaper turkmenistan.ru leads only "semi-official":
– During the meeting the sides expressed mutual interest in the development of traditionally friendly relations between Turkmenistan and Belarus, to discuss the main directions of cooperation. Among them – the purchase of Turkmenistan of Belarusian agricultural and other special equipment, and training of Turkmen specialists in Belarusian universities.
In addition, it is reported that Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov addressed the Belarusian partners a proposal for construction of a residential village for employees of ore processing plant for the production of potash, which Belarusians erected in Lebap Turkmenistan.
However, what this all was the extent of how I can not believe. It is unlikely that the Assistant President for Special Assignments Viktor Sheiman cost to fly thousands of miles away, to express "their mutual interest in the development of traditionally friendly relations."
"We all try to keep secret from their people" – said the correspondent of news portal http://www.UDF.BY political commentator Roman Yakovlevsky. He believes that the visit to Ashgabat spetsporuchentsa with a personal letter to Lukashenko, could pursue the goal of "somehow gain access to Turkmenistan's considerable resources, both natural and financial."
In this regard, R. Yakauleuski, given that Sheiman, chief curator of the Venezuelan project, did not rule out "the strategic plans Lukashenko on the relationship of Turkmen gas from the Venezuelan oil (supply, production). As for the silence of this visit in the state media, then, according to the political observer, it "shows once again who and what floor the authorities identifies and pursues a foreign policy of Belarus."

Yes, there are even poems about Larry Craig. Who knew that he would have such an impact on our society. Though its probably not the kind of impact that he was hoping for.
And so it goes...
From The Nation:
On Larry Craig's Decision to Serve Out His Term in the Senate
The presence of L. Craig dismays
Republicans, since it displays
An issue they don't want to raise:
That people who are gay these days
May not be two male fiancés
Who go in drag to cabarets
And cuddle lengthways on a chaise
And talk of opera and ballets.
The people who are gay these days
May be Republicans who praise
The right wing's antigay clichés.
Hypocrisy, which this conveys,
Could make it awkward bashing gays.
But count on them to find some ways.

A vision for church planting in Tunbridge Wells
Peter Sanlon is a busy man. Not only is he leading Union's Learning Community in Tunbridge Wells, he is also vicar of St Mark's Church, Tunbridge Wells, leader of the Anglican Partnership Synod (a new form of partnership within conservative Anglican churches in Kent and Sussex), and Director for Training for the Free Church of England, from which a new church will launch in October 2018 within the Tunbridge Wells Church of England Parish.
The Tunbridge Wells Learning Community is hosted by St Mark's Church.
Peter Sanlon says, "We wanted to host a Learning Community at St. Mark's Church because we believe that as Christians get to know God better, they become more effective servants and witnesses for God. We have seen it in people's lives here at the church and we hope our learning community will resource people to deepen their relationship with God, and allow us to serve others.
Union helps us serve the needs of St. Mark's Church and the Tunbridge Wells area. Many of our people live busy lives with young families and work commitments; others are retired and feel as busy. Union helps us serve our community by challenging us to set aside finance and time for the serious study of theology – in addition to our normal Sunday services and Home Groups."
St Mark's will partner with the FCofE in planting a new church in October. Several students from the Learning Community will be involved in this church plant, which helps keep a missional agenda front and centre in their studies.
Union and the FCofE have also partnered together, with Union providing a key part of the FCofE's training programme for their ordinands.
Peter says, "Union was attractive because they have a robust combination of academic theology with evangelical spirituality that is geared towards ministry and mission. Union President, Mike Reeves, is very supportive of our vision for the FCofE, and Union's vision to serve and equip the church and deploy church leaders to bless the world, matches our vision in planting new churches."
Please pray for all the preparations for the new church plant in Tunbridge Wells this autumn, and watch this space for the story to unfold!

Manager Defends Retail Renting As Valuable Sales Tool
A former camera store manager came forward to defend retail renting as a common tactic that helps drive sales. Retail renting is when a customer buys a pricey item like a prom dress with the intention of returning it later. Our completely unscientific poll shows that 70% of you disapprove of retail renting, but our tipster insists that it is a victimless crime and a valuable sales tool. Our enlightening chat with the former manager, inside.
I saw just about any kind of retail renting you can think of. The biggest thing that I wanted to convey is that we, in the business, all did it. Managers, employee's and even the district managers got in the action too.
Sometimes, it was legitimate product testing. I never liked telling a mom that this camera would take great pictures of her children until I tried it out on my own. Other times, I "tested" the portable DVD player for a week while on vacation. But the rule was always that you paid for the item and then returned it when you were done with it. Nothing under the table.
Customers did it to. The occasional rental didn't really bother me all that much. What I found was that customers would on occasion buy a camera from me later on once they learned how lax we were about returns.
In fact, last week I "rented" a $1900 lens from [the store.] Now, normally I actually "rent" lenses from a company that's equipped to do so. However, I needed the lens the next day and [the store] was my only option. As far as I'm concerned, its a victimless crime.
The lens had already been opened and used by someone else. My thought was that if I beat up or damage the lens, I own it. If not, I return it and nobody loses anything. I know that for a fact as a former manager. The only time it would bother me would be when somebody got to return something well beyond the time limit. I sold a digital camera to a woman once who obviously had used her camera on her vacation. However, she had gone almost 15 days over the 10 day return window. Corporate allowed her to return the camera and I had a huge chunk of my check taken away. Had it been during the same window as when I received the comission, I wouldn't have minded so much.
I think that people need to understand that its really a victimless crime. In the world of cameras, unless the box has a factory seal you have to assume that its been opened and played with at some point. Some stores even go the extra step of breaking all the seals on all the boxes to remove that bias.
We sort of saw the idea of renting as another way to get people into the store to buy something. Even if they didn't buy a camera, they would on occasion become printing customers. This isn't something that we encouraged people to do mind you. Its not like you could walk up to me and say, "Hi, I'd like to buy a camera for the weekend and take it back," and I'd say SURE SIR HERE YOU GO.
What normally happens is the customer would come in and within 5 minutes would make a $500 camera purchase. Before leaving they'd take the camera out and have me spot check it to make sure it wasn't broken or anything. it was at this point that I realized they were renting. I wished them a nice day and started a pool within the store as to when they'd bring it back.
Some stores would try to "scare" the customer by warning them of return refusal policies or restocking fee's that don't exist. My guess is that they were banking on the fact that the customer would be too guilt stricken to question company policy. Some of them were right. But I always found it was hypocritical to stop customers from doing what we ourselves did on a regular basis
My first store manager bought and returned her home printer every month. When she quit, she returned it for good.
I guess what I'm trying to argue is that if its done correctly, its a victimless crime. The insiders do it in much worse fashion anyways. I would argue that if your willing to rent something, you might be willing to buy it (eventually). Allowing you to rent with me increases my chances of a sale. And that's what I really want.
Do retail renters ever go the extra dishonest mile and try to return damaged equipment?
Oh yes, but that's why you check out the equipment before you allow the return. That's where I put my foot down. If I couldn't sell the camera at full price to the person behind you, we have a problem.
The best is since [the store] has a warranty that covers customer damage, people assumed that if they broke it they could return it and the warranty would cover the repairs. Meaning we'd return their broken camera and fix it under our warranty and somehow not lose money on it.
You needed every plastic cover, every piece of wrapping to bring it back into my store and most of my customers knew that.
These would-be scammers didn't react well when confronted.
Most of them threw a fit. I would assume because they got caught. But that's what you get for disregarding how serious I take returns. Some people would rent without regard for the fact that I would still have to sell the product.
Sometimes we'd turn it into a sale. Well, I can't return this camera but I'll let you exchange it. Then i'd write "NO RETURN/EXCHANGE" on their receipt and the camera box. But yeah, they'd get pretty pissed. Especially when I found all the little things. I've denied returns because that little cover that comes with the batter (that everyone loses right away) was missing. Or a tiny scratch on the bottom of the camera.
My store was very thorough with returns.
So our former manager has no problem with renting. Would she herself rent from another store?
Well, there aren't many stores where you can these days. I did "rent" a heater from Costco once. I needed to warm my house for a party. I rented a $200 space heater, though I did end up buying a $30 a few weeks later from them. So I don't think it was a loss. I even repacked the rented heater the exact same way it was.
I suppose renting out of simple need is ok. Habitual renting to me would feel like stealing, and in truth, I did consider keeping the heater.
Does this change your opinion of retail renting? Take to the comments with your moral indignation.

Steve and I share the same birthday. We were excited about celebrating at Point Reyes National Seashore, staying overnight at our favorite motel, until we thought of Jake.
Jake is a 12-pound, short-haired gray male kitty who adopted us eight months ago. We didn't mean for this to happen, but Jake showed up unannounced at our Richmond condo, healthy, un-neutered and lonely. We figured someone had probably abandoned him. Happens all the time with cats and dogs. They're called "foreclosure" pets.
At any rate, I didn't like Jake at first. He frightened Snowball, a spunky white kitty we'd come to befriend. Snowball lives with a family nearby and is allowed to roam free. He was very fond of trotting up to us in the parking lot where we would offer him treats, conversation and many pets. Then suddenly Jake appeared and frightened off him away.
So here's where we had a choice, the "two roads diverged in a yellow wood" (Robert Frost) sort of thing. I wanted to get him fixed and find him a home. Steve? Not so much.
My friend Grant was interested in adopting Jake until we discovered that he was not litter-trained. I had taken him into our bedroom/bathroom area for an overnight stay to make sure he was around in time for the vet appointment the following day. Our white carpeting took a beating that evening. So, outside he went; then he disappeared for a few days. I feel guilty about this, but I sort of hoped he wouldn't come back.
When he did, we scooped him up, took him to the vet and ended his ability to produce a succession of little Jakes. Naturally, Grant was no longer interested. Who wants a cat who poops in all the wrong places? So I checked with a local rescue group.
No one was willing to take on the task. Anyway, by now, Steve had fallen in love. But I was firm. I made my closing arguments: "We can't afford another cat. We've already spent $400 on him because of a bite wound — who's to say this won't happen again?" Steve teared up; I felt like a heartless jerk.
Jake now lives outside our door on the landing. We set up a cat bed for him along with food and water bowls. All of our neighbors know Jake, love Jake, make inquiries after Jake. One woman has even dubbed him "Mayor of Stoneglen North."
Steve has his morning coffee sitting next to Jake on the stairs at the top of the landing. I read my mail to him in the same spot in the afternoon. Jake has gotten very attached. At first, he was nervous whenever we would leave the house. He would run down the stairs after us, as if to say, "Don't leave me, oh, please don't leave me!"
Little by little, he's become more comfortable. Now, sometimes, he barely looks up from his kitty bed as we leave. When we return, however, he still runs to greet us in the parking lot, doing his little happy dance, and running up the stairs ahead of us as if to say, "You came home, you really came home!"
We still want to go Point Reyes for our birthdays, but now that we're so in love with Jake that we'd die if anything happened to him, there's only one thing to do. While our two indoor cats will be having a friend come in to feed them, Jake will go off to boarding school.
This is our road.
Rosie Sorenson lives in Richmond.
