I've now seen the networks' pilots for fall, a long slog through a mix of 25 dramas (mostly), dramedies and comedies and it looks like we're in for an unspectacular season. There's no buzz like there was for "Desperate Housewives," "Lost" or "Ugly Betty." The only series that captured my imagination was ABC's "Pushing Daisies," a visual stunner that invents its own proudly artificial universe much the way "Housewives" did. The loving couple is credible even if the fairy-tale premise isn't supposed to be (he has a special power to bring her back from the dead, now they can't touch or she dies. Again).
The comedy originally titled "Sam I Am," now known as "Samantha Be Good" after a frown from the Seuss estate, starring Christina Applegate as an amnesiac, is the best-looking comedy on tap.
Too many "Heroes"-wannabes, sci-fi and superpowered pilots, should shake down quickly in September.
All a long way of saying the nation's TV critics gather in Los Angeles starting next week to preview series, interview producers/writers/actors and network execs and studio bosses, shmooze and take the temperature of the industry. Chances are the changing newspaper industry will be a hot topic, too.

Dec. 19, 2012 – The fourteen juvenile whooping cranes delivered to White Lake Wetlands Conservation Area (WCA) in Gueydan last month were released into the wild Monday. The young cranes join fourteen adults which are part of an experimental population being monitored by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF).
"We are making history", said Robert Love, LDWF's Coastal and Nongame Resources Division administrator. "We are very excited about this new level of progress and with this recent cohort being released into the marsh, the Louisiana population now totals twenty eight. That is more whoopers than existed in this State during the last eighty or so years."
The cranes arrived in southwest Louisiana on Nov. 29 from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in Laurel, Md. LDWF is working cooperatively with US Fish and Wildlife Service, USGS, the Louisiana Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit and the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Foundation to establish a non-migratory population in the state.
The whooping crane is protected under the federal Endangered Species and Migratory Bird Treaty Acts and by state law. Anyone encountering a whooping crane is advised to observe the bird from a distance.
Whooping cranes are large-bodied, white birds similar to white ibis, white pelicans, and wood storks, all of which must be distinguished from legally-hunted snow geese. However, a red head and black facial markings along with a height of five feet and a wingspan of 7 to 8 feet make them very distinctive. In flight, whooping cranes display black wing tips and fully extended neck and legs, which extend well beyond the tail.
Juvenile whooping cranes are primarily white with some cinnamon-brown feathers remaining on their body, primarily on their head and neck. Their wing tips are black like an adult, but they lack the red head.
Anyone witnessing suspicious activity involving whooping cranes is advised to report that information to LDWF's Enforcement Division by calling 1-800-442-2511 or using the tip411 program, which may offer a cash reward for information leading to arrests or convictions. To use the tip411 program, citizens can text LADWF and their tip to 847411 or download the "LADWF Tips" iPhone app from the Apple iTunes store free of charge. CitizenObserver, the tip411 provider, uses technology that removes all identifying information before LDWF receives the text so that LDWF cannot identify the sender.
For more information on the re-introduction of whooping cranes to Louisiana, visit LDWF's website at www.wlf.la.gov [4] or contact Bo Boehringer at firstname.lastname@example.com [5] or 225-765-5115.

In this tutorial we will go through the basics of setting up a minimalist VM (virtual machine) using VMware Workstation (there is a free version so don't worry) and then create a custom file echoer (it will return the contents of a file when requested through a web browser).
NOTE – The web server will be built in C and C++ and will not use Apache or other premade server software out there. That said we will not (at least at this point) be supporting server-side languages such as PHP.
GOAL – Make a quick, light-weight server which is capable of receiving incoming HTTP requests and replying with a simple message.
Starting off:
Download VMware Player (or VMware workstation if you have some money burning a hole in your pocket) from here: http://www.vmware.com/ (you will probably have to create an account with their site)
Install it and once it is finished start downloading Ubuntu 10.10 netbook from here: http://www.ubuntu.co...ubuntu/download (while you aren't required to use the netbook edition it is light weight and that is the point of this tutorial – I will also be using the netbook version so if you are starting off you may want to download it just so you can follow along exactly with that I do, well almost… There may be some differences when using VMware Player…).
Setting up the VM:
Open up VMware Player/Workstation and go to File -> New -> Virtual Machine
A dialogue box will pop up and talk about options on how to create the VM, select standard (not advanced) then click next and use a file as the iso (second option) then click browse and find the downloaded iso (select it).
VMware will recognize that it is Ubuntu 10.10 and will say it is going to use easy install, this is fine. Follow the steps provided and you can use the defaults (the only thing I changed was I told it to allocate 4 GB instead of the 8 it recommends).
Once you have finished all the options it will start installing Ubuntu on a VM for you. Wait for this to finish (shouldn't take too long).
Alright, now that we have Ubuntu all set up and running it is time to get rid of some of the additional crap that was installed with the OS.
To accomplish this go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager. Wait for it to finish creating its search database (it will be easier to remove the packages that way).
Once it is completed go ahead and search for all the applications they have installed and mark them for complete removal. I left the following applications installed: Terminal and Gedit. I also market Chromium for installation (we really just need a browser, so Firefox would have been fine, I just like Chromium better). Once you have everything marked appropriately apply the changes.
NOTE – You could go ahead and use the terminal for all of this, I just find that people enjoy using GUIs better.
Good, now the annoying set up is all completed. Time to install some additional software.
Since this is a C++ tutorial I figure it is only proper that we install a compiler.
Installing things:
Now, without closing out of the package manager we want to check for a few packages.
Search for g++ and mark it for installation (it will have additional packages). Once it is installed it is time to start doing some fun stuff (programming). You will also need to search for and install the pthread libc library.
Our socket connection will be obtained through a posix compliant library, as will the threads, this means that this application should be able to run on all Unix systems (though apparently out version of Ubuntu doesn't have it installed either), Mac, and Windows (though you may need to install the posix library on Windows to get it working).
Some code to get us off the ground:
First thing's first, we need to set up a project folder. I placed this directly on my desktop and called it serverFromScratch (I will be calling it SFS from here on out).
Go into your project folder and create the following files with the following code within each.
NOTE – I won't be explaining this code as it would be a rather length tutorial otherwise. Most of it is pretty self-explanatory.

Great… I know that is a TON of code, but we aren't going to be going over it in this tutorial (if you want to have me explain it I will, just comment stating such).
Creating the Make file:
You may know how this is done and be able to skip this part, but I find normally that people don't set up makefiles efficiently, or they add a whole bunch of additional crap which isn't needed. Luckily it is easy to set one up so it only compiles things that are different.
To accomplish this we will use the following code:
.cpp.o: g++ -c -0 -Wall $< .c.o: g++ -c -0 -Wall $< main: Socket.o Runnable.o Thread.o Mutex.o main.o g++ -Wall -o $@ $^ -lpthread clean: rm -f main *.o *~
Now, the first rule we set up is for any C++ file that we want to create an object file from, it uses Makefile variables to allow us to make a general rule instead of one which is made specifically for a given file. The second rule does the same thing, but is for C files.
The third rule is the general one (what will happen if you just type "make" into the terminal), and will make an executable called "main" which depends on "Socket.o", "Runnable.o", "Thread.o", "Mutex.o" and "main.o" (each of these files is compiled by the general rules above). This rule also links in the pthread library, which we need linked for our application to run.
The fourth, and final rule is the clean. This allows you to type "make clean" into the terminal and it will remove the main executable, all object files, and all backup files. It is a nice little way to clean up the directory.
At this point we have fewer than 100 lines of code to write before this tutorial will be over (that is good because this is getting fairly long…).
Starting off we need a main file so go ahead and create the file "main.cpp" and open it up on your favorite text editor (I will be using Gedit).
We will need to have quite a few included files for this server to work (though we aren't actually using some of them at this point), we will also likely be adding additional ones in the future, but for the purposes of this tutorial we just need the following:
iostream, list, string, Runnable.h, Socket.h, Thread.h and Mutex.h
Include using the following code:
#include <iostream> #include <list> #include <string> #include "Runnable.h" #include "Socket.h" #include "Thread.h" #include "Mutex.h"
And we will want to be using the standard namespace in this file, so you might as well say you are using it:
using namespace std;
We now need to create something responsible for handling the incoming client socket connections. This will take the form of a Runnable class derivative (which is required if we are to use the Thread class I defined above).
Here is the code:
class Listener: public Runnable{ private: Socket* client; public: Listener(Socket* cli){ client = cli; } ~Listener(){ ceaseThread = true; delete client; killThread = true; } void tick(void){ string in; if(!client->recv(in)){ delete this; } if(!in.empty()){ cout << in << endl; client->send("Hello Server\r\n"); delete this; } } void tack(void){ // does nothing. } };
Now, the Runnable interface has 2 variables (ceaseThread and killThead) both of which are Booleans. If you set the ceaseThread to true it will stop the thread, if you set killThread to true it will deallocate the thread memory. Runnable also requires 2 functions (tick and tack), tick is run each time the thread is called, and tack it called if tick throws an error (to allow you to attempt to recover).
In our tick function we see if anything has been sent from the client, if we error (the recv function returns false) we just delete the thread and client socket (this will change later). Then, if the input string isn't empty we output the request, send a small reply, and then destroy the thread – as we said in the beginning this is just a very simple server at this point.
The next class we need to create is the server connector class, which will be responsible for listening to port 80 (standard HTTP request port).
Here is the code:
class Connector: public Runnable{ private: Socket* server; public: Connector(Socket* s){ server = s; } ~Connector(){ ceaseThread = true; delete server; killThread = true; } void tick(void){ Socket* client = new Socket(); server->accept(*client); Runnable* listen = new Listener(client); Thread* listener = new Thread(listen); listener->start(); // at this point the server orphans the thread so it has to be able to clean up after itself. } void tack(void){ // empty again } };
Since this class is very similar to the Listener class I am just going to explain the tick function. It creates a new client socket and then has the server accept it. Then is creates a listener for the client, and a thread for the listener. The last thing it does is starts the listener thread.
That's correct it is finally time for the main function. After this we will have a nice, small, simple, server which is capable of taking incoming requests and replying "Hello Server". When you look at it like that it isn't all that impressive, but the job as a whole was quite a bit of work.
The code:
int main(void){ Socket* server = new Socket(); if(!server->create()){ cout << "Error – unable to create socket." << endl; } if(!server->bind(80)){ cout << "Error – unable to bind port 80, please make sure you are running the server as root." << endl; } if(!server->listen()){ cout << "Error – unable to listen." << endl; } Runnable* serverListener = new Connector(server); Thread listenerThread(serverListener); listenerThread.start(); while(1){ // keep the program up and running } return 0; }
Save the file, open a terminal and go to the directory you are using to house this project (cd ~/Desktop/SFS/ on my setup) and make the project (make).
Once it has completed you shouldn't have any errors or warnings, and it is time to run your new server. Go ahead and type sudo ./main, the program will seem to just hang. That is fine (remember we don't have it outputting anything other than errors and the HTTP requests it receives), open up your web browser and go to localhost, you should have a bit of output in the terminal now, and the web page should say "Hello Server". Congrats you have completed this portion of the tutorial!
If you want to look at the request structure that is fine, we will have to respond in a similar fashion for the browser to know what we are talking about and how to deal with the content we give it.
Hopefully you enjoyed this tutorial. Stay tuned for the next one in the series.

Lago Enriquillo: an environmental challenge
Lake Enriquillo in the southwestern part of the Dominican Republic has doubled in size over the past eight years, swallowing thousands of acres of farms and more than a dozen villages. It is the largest lake in the Caribbean, and one of the few saltwater lakes in the world inhabited by crocodiles. During the late 2000s, the lake has increased its surface area dramatically. Records for 2004 show the lake to be 164 square kilometers; measurements from 2011 put the area at 350 km². This rise in level has affected hundreds of nearby residents in townships that bordered the lake, with abundant loss of agricultural land which, even if the waters recede, will probably be rendered useless due to the lake's salinity damaging the qualities of the once-arable soil.
Reasons for the flooding are being debated, but may be a combination of several. There has been an increase in rainfall in the region in recent years. Increased sediments going into the lake from run-off due to deforestation are also contributing to raising the lakebed and milder temperatures are reducing the surface evaporation rate.

Becoming a Great Host
Movie depictions of Greeks often show gatherings and celebration. Anyone who has seen movies like Mama Mia or My Big Fat Greek Wedding know that they speak to an openness and a welcoming that, while might be a caricature on film, is very true to the spirit of the Greek people. The generosity and the hospitality in the Greek culture not only impresses me, but also makes me appreciate the things I can learn from people around the world. It really got me thinking about hospitality as it relates to your business and meeting new people.
Xenia, or hospitality, is a concept that appears throughout classical Greek mythology. Usually, it's demonstrated through someone extending hospitality to a humble stranger, sometimes a beggar who appears to offer nothing in return. Upon being greeted with kindness and hospitality, the stranger reveals his true identity as a deity and rewards the host with gifts.
This concept is important in the Greek culture, not only as a prevailing value that teaches people about generosity, but also as a lesson in perception. There's something more to it than just being a great host. There is power in opening your mind and heart to new people in the world. Like these disguised deities, each person has a unique gift to offer and when you are kind, generous and welcoming to new people, you actually benefit more than the other person.
Have you ever heard the saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover"? Well, this is exactly how you should approach every new person you meet. You may not know if this person will turn out to be a super star in the business, but you should always treat them as they will be.
Never limit yourself by judging whether someone is able to bring value to your life. People can surprise you. They can help you overcome your own challenges and lead you to learn more about yourself. Xenia teaches us that being welcoming actually opens the door for people to impact our lives positively.
Treat every new person as the first person you've ever recruited, with the same opportunity, the same attention and the same fully-invested belief - you'll be amazed at the result!
Forever yours,
Rex Maughan

NFL greats congratulate Peyton Manning on touchdown record
Peyton Manning became the NFL's all-time leader in career touchdown passes Sunday, throwing four against the 49ers to bring his regular-season total to 510.
After breaking Brett Favre's 4-year-old record, NFL legends and current players — Favre included — congratulated the Broncos' quarterback on his feat, while many others expressed their awe via Twitter. To wit:
"I want to say congratulations for breaking the touchdown record — I'm not surprised. You've been a wonderful player and I've enjoyed watching you play, I've enjoyed competing against you. I wish you a great success for the rest of the season and the rest of your career. But again, congratulations."
"Peyton, congratulations on breaking the touchdown record. You deserve it, you're a true pro. Congratulations and enjoy."
"Well Peyton, it's official. Your ducks have crossed the end zone more than anybody else's. But really, congratulations, nobody has ever played the quarterback position better than you have. It's been a pleasure to sit back every Sunday and watch you play. People love to debate, 'Who is the greatest quarterback, the greatest player?' It's impossible to compare across all the generations and eras. But I know this, nobody can ever leave Peyton Manning out of that discussion about who is the greatest quarterback. Congratulations, Peyton."

The Ripon Public Library offers free wireless Internet access to all library visitors. Handouts are usually available at the circulation desk with basic information about the service and how to configuring your Windows-based laptop to use the wireless connection. This document provides additional information about the service.
Wireless access is available to both library patrons and visitors. A library or temporary use card is not currently required. There are no age requirements or restrictions; however, parents or guardians of children under 18 years of age should take responsibility in supervising their children's proper and safe use of the Internet. Our library's computer and Internet use policy also applies to wireless users.
Can I print from my laptop, tablet, or other wireless device?
You will need to save your document to a flash drive or online storage service (such as Drop Box or Google Drive) and print from one of the library's public computer stations. Wireless printing is not available.
I'm having connection issues with my iPad and your library's Wi-Fi!
We have encountered a number of patrons who have been unable to use our free Wi-Fi service with iPad devices. Symptoms include dropped network connections and extremely slow speeds. The solution for this has been to reset the network settings on the iPad in question. To this:
- Go to the Settings app
- On the left side, select General
- Scroll down and select Reset
- Select Reset Network Settings
How do I use this service?
In order to access the wireless Internet connection, you will need a notebook / laptop computer with either built-in wireless technology or a wireless network card. Other wireless devices (such as wireless-capable PDAs) might also work. The Library does not provide laptop computers for public use. Most newer computers will automatically detect and connect to an available wireless network. Although the handout includes basic information on configuring your computer's settings, you should consult your equipment's documentation for information on changing your equipment's network settings to connect to our network.
Where is this service available?
The wireless Internet connection is available anywhere within the library building, including the lower level meeting rooms, although signal strength and connection speed may be reduced in certain locations (including the lower level meeting rooms). In testing, a more than usable connection was obtainable in all public areas of the building, and in travelling throughout the building, no signal loss occurred. (Even at the slower 2.0 Mbps speeds, your connection could still be 35 times faster than a dial-up connection!)
If you need to use the wireless access in the lower level meeting rooms, we suggest that you test your equipment prior to the date of the actual meeting.
Why / how is this service provided?
In keeping with the goals of the Ripon Public Library, offering wireless Internet access helps to provide the public with open access to informational, educational, and recreational materials and information sources. Potentially, it may also reduce the congestion which sometimes occurs with our public Internet stations.
The wireless Internet access is provided through the Library's existing high-speed T1 line and multiple wireless routers. Funding for the wireless equipment and related hardware was provided through the Library's normal operating budget. System setup was conducted by technical staff from Winnefox and Ripon.
What are some advantages?
You won't spend any time waiting for an available Internet station - our wireless connection is always on, always available. There are times of the day when demand for Internet access outweighs the available computer resources. Our wireless access provides an extension to our existing Internet service.
There are no limits on time or use with the wireless network (although we do request that users refrain from activities which may monopolize available bandwidth and interfere with other users).
Users may access the Internet from almost any location in the library - even a comfortable chair by the fireplace.
Are there any limitations?
Users are subject to existing Library policies concerning computer / Internet use and public behavior where applicable.
Wireless Internet access is limited to World Wide Web content only. FTP service, POP email access (Outlook / Outlook Express), and other Internet programs will not work.
Printing is not possible through the wireless network - however, you may save your files to a USB flash drive, floppy disk or recordable CD-ROM, or email them to a web-based email account, and then print them from one of our public Internet workstations. The Internet workstations allow you to open Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher) files, and most image files, from USB flash drives, floppy disk or CD-ROM.
Wireless access speed may be limited by the number of users simultaneously connected, your physical location in the building, and other factors over which the Library has no control.
What if I'm having trouble connecting?
Library staff will not assist you with your computer equipment; in general, Library staff are not trained to service or configure computer equipment, and cannot accept the liability of handling your personal property. Library staff will be happy to assist you in finding books or online resources that will teach you how to do this yourself.
If you are having problems connecting, Library staff are available to assist you in obtaining reference materials about using your computer, and in locating a local computer service center.
What about privacy / security?
The wireless network is not secure, and it may be possible for other users to potentially eavesdrop on your communications. We suggest that you take additional steps to secure your data, such as using websites with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connections, or using SSH or VPN connections. We also encourage the use of antivirus and firewall software on your personal computer equipment. The Library is not responsible for ensuring your privacy or the safety of your data or hardware while connected to our wireless network.
The Library does not save any personal information, details about your connection, or the information you transmit and receive, other than the temporary information that must be stored about your computer in order to allow it to establish a wireless connection. The Library does not actively monitor your connection; however, users who are discovered, by staff or other patrons, to be viewing inappropriate content or performing illegal activities may be asked to cease using the wireless network or leave the building, and may be reported to the proper authorities. Users who abuse the wireless connection or cause disruptions to the network may have their device blocked from wireless access.
You as a user are responsible for taking appropriate steps to safeguard your computer from viruses and other online threats. The Library is not responsible for any loss or damage incurred as a direct or indirect result of using our wireless network.

Safety & Security Information
All educational institutions are required to provide an annual report on safety and security to their students under the U.S. Department of Education's Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act), and the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA). The Annual Security and Fire Safety Report for Michigan State University College of Law (Law College) is available here http://www.law.msu.edu/news/crime-safety.html.
The Law College and Michigan State University (MSU) have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding which, among other things, integrates the Law College faculty and students more completely into the academic life of MSU. Although the Law College remains an independent nonprofit educational institution, the integration means that the Law College has adopted and follows MSU administrative and academic policies, procedures and practices.
As a result of this integration, this report is almost identical to the report distributed to the entire MSU community. However, the MSU College of Law Annual Security and Fire Safety Report is limited to the campus of Michigan State University (where the Law College resides) and the MSU College of Law Legal Clinic located at 610 Abbot Road, East Lansing, Michigan. As required by Federal law, this report contains policy statements and crime statistics for the Law College. The policy statements address the Law College's policies, procedures and programs concerning safety and security; for example, policies for responding to emergency situations and sexual offenses.
This report contains valuable information concerning safety and security at the Law College. The report also provides important information on the University's Relationship Violence and Sexual Misconduct Policy, and the MSU Drug and Alcohol Policy. The report includes statistics for the past three years for certain crimes that were reported to have occurred on campus, in off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by the Law College and on public property adjacent to the campus.
The report describes the MSU Police Department's resources and campus law enforcement policies, and explains where and how to report crimes, fires, and medical emergencies on and off campus. It includes information on crime prevention and victim support services, as well as on campus and residence hall security. The report also provides access to the University's emergency response and evacuation procedures in the event a significant emergency or dangerous situation occurs on campus. All members of the MSU community must report to the MSU Police any event or incident that involves a significant emergency or dangerous situation that may pose an immediate or ongoing threat to the health or safety of students or employees on campus.
A hard copy of this document may be obtained by contacting Teresa Eldred, Campus Security Authority, at 517-432-6819, or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Please contact her with any questions concerning this report.

Current and former military officials say the cost of firing cruise missiles at selected targets in Syria would be relatively easily absorbed, and analysts say the effect on U.S. weapons makers would be relatively minimal.
But some U.S. lawmakers worry a strike against Syria could trigger a broader conflict.
Editor's Note: Put the World's Top Financial Minds to Work for You
They are using that argument as another reason to avert more than $500 billion in military spending cuts facing the Pentagon over the next decade under the process known as "sequestration," on top of $487 billion in cuts that were already planned.
"We cannot keep asking the military to perform mission after mission with sequestration and military cuts hanging over their heads," Republican Buck McKeon, chairman of the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee, told CNN on Monday.
Top military leaders have repeatedly warned lawmakers that further cuts will jeopardize the U.S. military's readiness to respond to crises like the one now playing out over Syria's suspected use of chemical weapons against its own citizens.
President Barack Obama's administration says the Syrian government must be punished for the Aug. 21 chemical weapons onslaught in the Damascus suburbs that killed over 1,400 people.
But Obama halted plans for a strike against President Bashar al-Assad's forces until he receives congressional approval.
Loren Thompson, chief operating officer of the Lexington Institute consultants' group, said the administration's proposed limited strike on Syria could buoy shares in major weapons makers such as missile maker Raytheon Co and Lockheed Martin, which builds the Aegis combat system used on Navy ships.
Weapons makers are looking to foreign military sales and commercial markets to offset the downturn in U.S. military spending, but a new overseas conflict could increase demand for expendable items such as Raytheon's Tomahawk missiles.
"Any chance of military action tends to boost defense shares and bolster the case for defense spending," Thompson said, noting there was always the potential for escalation, despite the relatively small cost of cruise missile strikes.
Obama has said he will not put U.S. soldiers on the ground in Syria, but military planners say they are preparing for all possible "contingencies," a fact reflected by the decision to reroute the USS Nimitz carrier strike group to the Red Sea, instead of letting it return home.
"The prospect of military action has to raise questions about whether sequestration should continue," Thompson said.
A limited strike using Tomahawk missiles against Syrian command structures and chemical weapons delivery systems would not be an expensive mission by Pentagon standards.
Tomahawk missiles cost an average of about $1.2 million each, so the overall price for a limited operation using missiles would depend on how many targets the administration decided to hit and the number of missiles it would have to use.
Retired Navy Admiral Gary Roughead, who served as chief of naval operations during the allied strike on Libya in March 2011, said the cost of a limited strike on Syria was unlikely to require a supplemental budget submission, unless the Obama administration decided to launch a more protracted campaign.
"We did Libya and pretty much absorbed that out of the budget, he said."
But the cost for strikes against Syria could rapidly escalate if the response prompted additional U.S. action, such as trying to destroy Assad's air defenses or establishing a no-fly zone with aerial patrols.
The military says it will be prepared no matter what, but analysts said the budget cuts were affecting how the Pentagon was approaching the situation with Syria.
"You know ... what the impact has been on Air Force readiness. That's real. It does seriously limit the ability to quickly escalate. It does limit proficiency. You can't recover it without significant time," said Anthony Cordesman, a defense analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Steeped in rich textile history, this collection is aptly named after the birthplace of Irish Linen. It is believed that flax was cultivated as far back as 1000BC in Ireland, and it was once compulsory for all farm hands to learn how to grow this versatile plant, thanks to its abundant uses within medicine, food, oil and textile production. As one of the earliest woven fabrics, linen's inimitable qualities of high absorbency and durability have seen it stand the test of time. Prevailing as a favourite amongst tailors for creating hard-wearing, breathable garments, we are delighted to extend our linen offering with this new collection. Encompassing an enviable selection of cloths in heavier weights than our Natural Elements and Cascade ranges, the Lisburn bunch presents a wide array of colour options for everyday wear.View the range

Apple has been oft accused of arbitrariness in the approval process for its App Store – so much so there's a new website dedicated to stories of rejected iPhone applications.
But the Apple folks have been fairly consistent about barring nudity, notably bouncing an app called "Hottest Girls" after it became clear clothing-free pictures were providing the heat.
Now the Android, as PC World reports, may become the mobile device of choice for the terminally crude. An outfit called MiKandi is peddling adult-only apps for the Droid guaranteed to peak prurient interests.
The general porn debate aside, do we really need to see someone next to us on the bus checking out X-rated material on their phone?
The scenario isn't unlikely as it might sound: a recent Washington Post story offered anecdotes of men using laptops and mobile phones to watch porn in planes, trains, automobiles – and even at a Wizards basketball game.
Mobile devices, in some senses, isolate folks while connecting them to a larger world. There also is a certain public nature to mobile phone use that impacts on others. It can be annoying (loud calls); dangerous (texting while driving) or lewd (exposing others to smut).
There's no legal prohibition against the MiKandi app – nor should there be.
But that doesn't mean we should tolerate jerks incapable of distinguishing between public and private behavior.
So if you feel the urge to check out some porn on the run, here's some advice: keep your Droid in your pants (pocket).

Chris Martin needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 44 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
I am looking for a professional looking logo for this new business.
YourClubz or Your Clubz
Accepted File Formats:
Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
The business is named Your Clubz (or YourClubz). Please pay no attention to the current site design; as a new site is in development. The new site will be based off of the RocketTheme.com HiveMind Joomla template.
Anti-street racing is a big theme of ours. Once off the ground, we will provide a community site for each club along with their own store. We also put together events ranging from the basic meet and greet to a full-blown race day for clubs.
Although I'm open to all suggestions, I'm thinking the logo should be fresh and portray community with an anti-street racing or just automobile theme. The logo should not giving praise to any one manufacturer. I would like to see a logo that could be seen on thousands of cars. ;)
A slogan is up to the participant.
Thank you and good luck!

Given the colossal success of the first one, Taken sequels have turned out to be sheer duds. Taken 3 Movie is no different.
"l'll come for you, I'll find you and we both know what will happen then."
When the screenplay of the movie gets as cheesy as the aforementioned, we fathom how limited thoughts have been spent writing the final part of this franchise. Taken 3 goes to that unimaginable doom and comes back alive narrowly escaping from being branded the worst trilogy ever. Things that probably saved the movie can be easily counted on fingers: a twist in the plot, Liam Neeson and…..okay so two fingers actually.
Direction of Taken 3 Movie
The camera work of Olivier Megaton is an impoverished affair. It is so dodgy that you can hardly watch those car action sequences that were supposed to be great. It is as if the director didn't want you to see the crash because maybe that's too violent? O.o
Taken 3 Movie has very limited violence, and not even a single tinge of gore to complement its action. The plot you have seen so many times that any kind of reiteration and a big yawn ensues without you helping it.
Mini Spoiler Alert
A promising villain; he actually seemed promising! Well he promised you a badass conclusion right there in the prologue actually, but is literally absent in the entire movie only to return again in his undies. (Awkward fight alert! :P) And why is Forest Whitaker even in it?
If you still wish to see how the action franchise ends, or are a diehard Liam Neeson fan, you can buy the Taken 3 movie from here:
Focusing on the Bright Side
So there is one rad flight scene that can be passed as the most memorable one in the entire flick. That and the fact that Dougray Scott gets to end this franchise. Someone offer him more roles already! Also while we are at the optimistic column for a second, let us not ignore the fact that the flow of the Taken 3 movie was great. Everything was happening for a reason and the unfurling was actually making sense. Also, Olivier Megaton was really concerned about showing things that might have confused even laymen. Nothing subtle about his direction though.
The Final Verdict
Franchises like Taken eagerly wait for a script to be written (why a franchise? Moolah of course) for a possible exploit because of that sole fresh idea in the pack that got applauded in the first place for its originality. Rest is downright hunt for gold.
Now that the Taken franchise is finally over, we can say sequels of Taken are mere dispensable piggybacks that we could have probably lived without. While there are producers and directors wasting resources in order to grab more booty off a triumphant brand, on the other hand, we have great directors like Guillermo Del Toro who make sequels only to genuinely tell the people the rest of the story they had conceived in their heads. (Intended wink to Pacific Rim sequels)
Taken 3 ends up becoming a mediocre clichéd tale of falsified-framing, revenge, a cop who eats bagels off the crime scene, of finding people and you know the rest. I assume you have seen the prequels.

BEIJING — China said Friday that its military is purely for defense and criticized a Pentagon report for saying that big budget increases have boosted the Chinese military's ability to project military power abroad.
China's armed forces are for defending the country's sovereignty, security and territorial integrity and are a "force for world peace," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said at a regularly scheduled news briefing.
"We hope the US can shake off bias, view the development of China's defense capability objectively and rationally, stop issuing the relevant reports, and make concrete efforts in China-US military cooperation," Hong said.
China views the U.S. Defense Department's annual report to Congress about China as unwarranted interference in its internal affairs and a smear on its reputation. Separately, China's official Xinhua News Agency said the Pentagon report was "filled with flawed facts," but offered no examples.
The Pentagon report said China is developing new types of missiles, expanding the reach of its navy and upgrading its air force. It said China also is investing heavily in cyberspace, space and electronic warfare.
While China's military modernization is primarily driven by potential conflict in the Taiwan Strait, it also seeks to defend China's expanding interests and influence abroad, along with increased tensions in the East China and South China Seas, the report said. Last November, China conducted its largest naval exercise to date in the Philippine Sea.
China has territorial disputes with several of its neighbors, including U.S. allies Japan and the Philippines. China is currently locked in a tense, offshore standoff with the Vietnam.
China in March announced a 12.2 percent increase in military spending to $132 billion, the second-highest defense budget for any nation behind the U.S., which spent $600.4 billion on its military last year.
In one example of the benefits of such spending, China's navy commissioned 17 new warships last year, the most of any nation. It's expected to have three aircraft carriers in a little more than a decade, giving it more clout than ever in a region of contested seas and festering territorial disputes.
Its spending boom is attracting new scrutiny at a time of severe cuts in U.S. defense budgets that have some questioning Washington's commitments to its Asian allies.

Envisat's applications
Envisat has many specific applications. Some of the satellite's observations assist with solving basic science questions, such as how does the topography of the ocean change with time, and how can this information be used to predict ocean circulation. Ocean circulation, in turn, has a major impact on weather patterns and climate.
Other questions have more immediate relevance to the political and commercial worlds. For example, how can Envisat's observations help in monitoring compliance with environmental treaties or the selection of wind farm locations at sea?
Linked from this page are examples of a number of ways in which Envisat can deepen understanding of the Earth system and contribute to Europe's commercial hopes for Earth observation. These examples are the tip of a very large iceberg and are intended only to give a flavour of the promise of Earth-observing satellites. Scientists around Europe are already exploring the information Envisat relays to Earth.
Envisat and ice mapping
Every winter thousands of vessels ply the busy shipping channels of the Gulf of St Lawrence to reach the great ports of Quebec and Montreal City. Envisat helps the Canadian satellite, Radarsat, monitor the ever changing ice patterns, and so make navigation of Canada's primary commercial shipping channel safer.
Like Radarsat, Envisat carries a synthetic aperture radar (ASAR). The instrument provides images that permit the Canadian Ice Service to release frequent ice maps to the masters of ice breakers and visiting ships.
Such maps are equally important in the Canadian Arctic during the summer. At this time of year the ice is – just about – passable, and ships carry supplies of heavy goods and fuel to the Innuit people of northern Canada.
The Canadian Ice Service is interested in Envisat data for research as well as operational needs.
For example, under some weather conditions it is hard to tell whether the imagery from synthetic aperture radar is showing ice or water. Skilled forecasters are needed to make a value judgement about what they are seeing.
ASAR has a facility (alternating polarization of the radar beam it emits and detects) to help solve this dilemma.
Envisat and wind energy
Wind energy is one of the most promising renewable energy sources currently available. Already wind turbines contribute significantly to electricity generation in Europe. In Denmark, for example, wind farms now meet roughly 15 per cent of the country's electricity demand. The percentage of electricity generated by wind farms will grow, helping to meet a European Union target to increase the amount of energy generated by renewable sources from 14 per cent in 1997 to 21 per cent in 2010. Many wind farms around the world will be at sea.
Envisat's synthetic aperture radar has the potential to help planners decide on the optimum location for wind farms at sea. The aim is to find out where the wind energy is greatest from season to season so that wind farms can be sited where they will generate the maximum amount of energy.

More About Trees and Plants...
This is the flower of the culinary herb, dill (or dillweed, as it's also called). Some dill pickle recipes call for a small dill flower to be canned in the jar with the pickles. This one would be too large.
Late in the summer when the heads are seedy, I always see goldfinches feeding on them.
I planted dill about a dozen years ago, and since then it has reseeded itself. I haven't made any dill pickles for a few years, but I still enjoy the dill plants. They grow where I can brush against them coming and going from the garden. Their fragrance reminds me of my Grandma Barb's garden.
Dill surely must be the easiest of all herbs to grow. Toss the seeds on bare ground and they will grow. Actually, that's what happens every year in my garden. The seeds fall to the ground, lie there through the winter, and sprout in the spring.
My dill plants often grow 4 to 5 feet tall and they're top-heavy, so they blow over easily in strong winds. (There may be dwarf varieties that don't have this problem.) A clump of dill can be supported with a few tomato cages, or just put 3 stakes in the ground around the clump and run some twine around the stakes.

Laura Krauss and Jeff Calenberg started Models for Christ in 1985 with a handful of people who met for bi-monthly Bible study and prayer in Krauss' apartment. The idea grew. Soon actors and other artists attended. The name was changed to Impact, and the group, now numbering more than 100, adopted monthly service projects such as delivering floral wreaths to AIDS patients, taking underprivileged children to a Mets game, and throwing a party for elderly patients at a nursing home.

It's the weekend, it must mean it's going to snow.
Accuweather is warning that New England is likely to see snow this weekend. Although, Connecticut seems as if it will be spared the whallop in storm for Massachusetts, where places like Worcester could see another 6 inches added to its record total.
State College, Pa. — 21 February 2013 — AccuWeather.com reports a storm bringing up to a couple of feet of snow over the Plains will reorganize on the East Coast this weekend and will deliver heavy snow to part of New England by Sunday.
It will be the third weekend in a row that a snowstorm will impact parts of the region.
Heavy snow is also a possibility from northern Connecticut and northwestern Rhode Island to southern Maine. Boston has a chance at breaking a February snowfall record with this storm. So far 32.0 inches of snow has fallen this month. The February record is 41.6 inches.
Other cities that have the potential for 6 inches of snow or more include Worcester, Mass., Portsmouth, N.H., and Portland, Maine.
Marginal temperatures will cause the snow to be wet in much of southern and central New England. In these areas, the first part of the storm will be rain Saturday.
However, colder air will invade the storm while it strengthens near Cape Cod late Saturday night and Sunday. Snowfall accumulation rates could increase to 1-2 inches per hour in some locations, and road conditions will quickly turn from wet to slushy to snow-covered.
As the storm strengthens later Saturday night into Sunday, winds will pick up in central and southeastern New England causing a plastering effect in some areas and blowing and drifting snow in colder locations.
Accumulating snow is likely to extend westward into the Hudson Valley region of New York and northward into central portions of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Some snow could reach as far southwest as the Poconos in northeastern Pennsylvania and as far north as northern Maine.
Odds favor mostly rain in New York City, Long Island and along the South Coast of New England Saturday with a wintry mix possible at the tail end Sunday. However, if the storm were to greatly strengthen, heavy accumulating snow could be pulled this far south.
The storm will bring primarily rain in the swath from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C., Friday night and Saturday. A few wet snowflakes could mix in at the tail end late Saturday night.
As we get to within 48 hours of the accumulating snow, AccuWeather.com will issue a snowfall prediction map.
Another storm aiming for the Plains late this weekend has the potential to bring coastal rain and inland snow to the mid-Atlantic Tuesday and New England Tuesday night into Wednesday. Details will follow in the coming days on AccuWeather.com.

American Disability Act Information
Requesting Reasonable Accommodation for Persons with Disabilities
If you have a disability and you believe you may need an accommodation to fully and equally participate in a particular court proceeding or activity, you may request a reasonable accommodation.
To request a reasonable accommodation, complete the Request for Reasonable Accommodation Form (this form is available in all courtrooms and public service counters of superior court) and return to any employee of the court. If you need assistance completing this form, read these instructions or contact the ADA Coordinator by phone at (253) 798-3654 or by email.
Granting Accommodation Requests
Accommodation requests are granted to any qualified person with a disability for whom such accommodation is reasonable and necessary under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), other similar local, state and federal laws and Washington State General Rule (GR) 33. Once it has been determined that a request is reasonable and necessary it will be granted unless either of the following situations arise:
- It is impossible for the court to provide the requested accommodation on the date of the proceeding and the proceeding cannot be continued without prejudice to a party to the proceeding.
- It is impractical for the court to provide the requested accommodation on the date of the proceeding and the proceeding cannot be continued without prejudice to a party to the proceeding.
Possible Requirements
You may be required to provide additional information for the court to properly evaluate your reasonable accommodation request. Medical and other health information submitted under the Washington Pattern Form (WPF) All Cases 01.0300, Sealed Medical and Health Information (cover sheet) shall be sealed automatically. If medical and other health information is not submitted under form WPF All Cases 01.0300, Sealed Medical and Health Information (cover sheet), the submitter may ask the court to seal the documents later.
Generally, five day advance notice is required to review reasonable accommodation requests. However, a response to an immediate need for accommodation will be considered to the fullest extent possible. Requests for appointment of attorney's at court expense are considered only in very limited circumstances of severe cognitive or communicative disabilities which cannot be accommodated in any other way to provide access to the court. Attorney requests necessitate a more extensive evaluation and submission of medical and healthcare documents by the requestor, and will therefore require additional time for review, analysis and a determination
It is the policy of Pierce County Superior Court to ensure that persons with disabilities have equal and full access to the judicial system.
