Great place, Joshua is a great guy - thank you for everything - hope to come back in some years!
No problems. Everything was perfect. Thank you Joshua.
No problems. Everything was perfect. Thank you Joshua.
Hi Joshua, we had a great stay in your cozy apartement. The room was very clean and well organized. The flat is locaded quite near to the metro from where you can reach easily each angle of the City. The sorroundings are lively but the flat is a bit apart, so you can sleep very well with closed windows.
We certainly will recommend your Studio.
The appartment is very small. It looks bigger and more comfortable on the photo. The main reason though why I have given only one star is the bed. It has a metress which is very old and all the psprings are sticking out keeping you awake all night long. The owner has to change the matress very urgently.
The host was very prompt and helpful in answering questions. The place was nice and neat. My experience was indescribable.
The location of this house is fantastic , there are so many restaurants, bars, cafe, and shopping stores nearby which is very convenient if you like night-life here. There are so many fashion stores near hongdae Uni and the free market on Sat is fabulous. the area around the house with so many beautiful cafes and art centers are so nice to visit and you can feel the korean's lifestyle. Thanks Joshua for your welcome!
I arrived in Seoul a little confused on where I was exactly. Joshua helped me to first find myself, and then safely direct the taxi to the studio. The room had snacks and water and everything you may need on a first night. The blankets were so comfortable I slept peacefully every night for two weeks. The area is everything that it is described. It is truly in the center, yet far enough not to hear all the late city noise. Everything you could want and need is within walking distance. The local shops were all very friendly. I visited the ramen shop daily. This was a very nice studio. If in Seoul I would definitely choose this studio again.
Well it is a dramatic stay at joshua apartment but I would definitely recommend this homestay to anybody coming to Seoul. The furnitures are all rather new and clean but do not expect hotel standards.
On my first night my heater was spoilt and my gf and I were left suffering in coldness as we could not bathe as well. We were frustrated that night but swift actions by Joshua dad, David made us feel better the next day. He replaced the whole heater and offered us to go to e sauna while it is being replaced. He even offered a refund for e first night. Now that everything has been replaced. I would think it is a really good stay especially it is damn near to the hottest club in hongdae and many other cool restaurants along e way. Do not worry though, cause e area the house is situated in is surprisingly quiet despite its proximity to the party area.
It is not very near to the subway, about 12 mins walk so light travellers would be recommended.
Stayed here for 4 nights, and it was truly lovely :) Bread, eggs, jam, fruits and water was provided for by the host, as well as clean towels and toiletries. There's free wi-fi, so for the more connected, no fear :) Location-wise, its probably 10-15 minutes walk to the Hongdae station, but along the way, there are many boutiques and shops which makes it really convenient since you could just shop along the way! I had a great time here, and I'm definitely going to stay here again. The host pretty much left me alone, so no worries about any interference. For US$40 a night, its a steal :)

Why do sick people go to work? Deadlines, no paid time off, survey finds
The Columbus Dispatch - February 10, 2014 06:08 PM
We've all seen it. The worker who comes to the office hacking, sneezing and can barely speak because they're so sick.
Why do they do it? A survey by NSF International finds 42 percent of workers say they come to work because they have deadlines or they'll have too much work when they get back while 37 percent say they won't get paid unless they come to work. Finally, 25 percent of workers say they go to work sick because their bosses expect them to.
We workers are mostly understanding about our colleagues who show up at the office while they're sick. Two-thirds of us believe those sick people are hard workers and 57 percent say the sick workers can't afford to miss work.
Only 16 percent of us think our sick colleagues are selfish and don't care about the health of those they are around all day while 13 percent of us think sick workers don't trust co-workers to do their job while they're out.

These figures don't even speak to how much Quicken makes on every loan they write due to their inflated rates and excessive fees. If you have a loan through Quicken, there's about a 95% chance you've been robbed completely blind. They pray off the low hanging fruit that responds to misleading advertisements when making the biggest financial investment of their lives.
Gilbert and Quicken are RAKING it in.
Quicken has released its 2012 figures the other day, announcing that it closed over $70 billion, representing a 133% increase over the $30 billion of volume in 2011. This makes Quicken the third largest retail lender in the country, not the mention the largest online lender. Not only has the volume increased, so has the size of the company: there are more than 8000 offices in Detroit, Cleveland, and Scottsdale, and 900 of the employees are IT. Quicken's servicing portfolio is off to a good start as well, having been valued at $80 billion at the end of the year, and predictions hold that the company is looking at another year of significant growth.

About the Author: Bruce Hudspeth serves as Regional Environmental Officer at U.S. Embassy Astana, Kazakhstan.
The U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, in collaboration with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the EcoEnergy Alliance, a Central Asian NGO, recently launched a pilot program to provide independent sources of renewable energy and education assistance to remote rural communities in the multi-ethnic border regions of Tajikistan. The pilot site, an orphanage and school in the Jami Region of Khatlon province, provides uninterrupted electric power through solar modules for a scanner, a printer, and five energy-efficient laptop computers. Martha Olcott, Carnegie's Program Director, who conceived the project, said: "This project has been about empowering people through access to electricity — which they previously enjoyed but have lost through regional shortages, and about giving young and old Internet access, which for them was an undreamed-of luxury."
The system, now fully-operational since February 2009, supports a small Internet-based community education center, that provides remedial education in math and science to students during the day, access to vocational-technical education after-hours (with an emphasis on developing small business in the region), and functions as an "Internet café" at night. The Internet portal will eventually offer the educational materials in six different languages (Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tajik, Uzbek, English and Russian), which will essentially allow minorities to seek education beyond their national borders.
Being fortunate enough to visit the center this year, I vividly remember sitting in the village classroom along with local, regional, and national government Tajik officials, observing the students at the computers. This was the first ever project of its kind in Tajikistan and its appreciation was apparent by the intense pride and interest blanketing the faces of the children and government officials.
Funding for the project has been provided by a variety of public and private sources in Russia, the United States, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. The U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe helped attract Tajik government and media attention to this project. Over the long term, the project will demonstrate how resources devoted to renewable energy can improve social conditions in remote communities and enhance regional cooperation in border regions. Since February, sixteen more solar panels have already been delivered to Tajikistan to be used at two other schools, where local communities will complete the project. As funding permits, the project will be expanded to include remote communities in other countries of the Central Asian region. The Carnegie Endowment is seeking $2.8 million dollars to maintain the pilot sites for at least fifteen months. Overall, our goal is to follow Dushanbe's example and do this throughout Tajikistan.

Topic: "Legacy" database and scaffold
Although I haven't tried it, I'm sure setting up the standard rails cookbook database and instant-app works just dandy. So I'm sure that rails really does allow an application to be set up in 10% of the time required to set one up under other app frameworks. But I'm not interested in toy demos.
In the real world, systems that operate by the grace of naming conventions simply do not work. Especially when the naming convention applies to database table names (and incidentally is exactly wrong -- table names should be singular if you really care about it one way or the other).
I have tried everything I can think of or google, and I can't get scaffolding with existing database names to work. It does seem odd to me that the most natural-seeming thing I want to do -- set up rails in 10% of the time, but running from one actual existing table, instead of from a toy table -- seems impossible. Or at least very difficult. Certainly not something that can be done (by me) in 10% of the time.
I've come away from my first few days of tinkering with rails with the impression that it is a toy (but a magnificently hyped one!). Can anyone tell me what I'm missing -- what's the magic trick of hanging a rails app on an existing table using scaffolding? Not using scaffolding is an unacceptable answer -- then I'll be spending ages trying to understand the ruby/rails nuances that the hype has promised me I don't need to wrestle with.

I've noticed as I have read more and more about the Beatles and interviews over the years especially from interviews Paul and John did in the 70's that they couldnt stop talking about eachother.
John especially although he said some harsh things he always seemed to talk about Paul.The interviewer could move off the subject from Paul and then John would suddenly bring him back up again.
I think in general and from personal experience you are more likly to lash out towards the ones you love,you dont mean to hurt them but it kind of just happens. As far as I can tell Paul tried really hard to work it out with John and see him and talk to him but we always hear that Yoko was preventing this from happening.
And I mean even Yoko said to Paul that John was very fond of him.
All this stuff about John saying that Paul was the only one to really hurt him shows how much he did love him because i think you can only be generally hurt by someone you love,although its likely Paul never realised that John would be so badly effected by it.
Shame certain events in the past weren't different

In a typical scenario where debounce is involved you have a trigger that when pressed is actually pushing a button (normally a microswitch) inside the trigger frame. When the marker is on this switch completes the circuit which indicates to the marker to fire.
Since these switches have a spring, when you push the button there is a tendency for switch the bounce. This can cause the switch to contact and lose contact with the the metal inside the switch that completes the circuit.
Also, a circuit continually loops and runs it program until powered off. So, the board is continually reading (many times a second) the state of the switch. As you're starting to see, this bouncing can cause the board to believe many shots have been "requested" within a very narrow window of time.
Note: This is a problem with mechanical switches so this problem is not specific to paintball markers, etc.
The accepted practice of fixing this problem is the concept of debounce. Debouncing simply means when the state of the switch changes (IE, off to on or on to off) to wait for a predetermined amount of time before checking for the final/actual state of the switch.
So the debounce setting basically tells the marker board how long to wait until getting that final state of the switch to avoid misreading these bounces.
Without debounce:
Scenario A: I start to press the trigger causing bouncing; marker fires multiple shots.
With debounce:
Scenario A: I start to press the trigger causing bouncing but I realease before the debounce time; circuit detects the switch is not pressed; nothing happens.
Scenario B: I start to press the trigger causing bouncing but I continue with my trigger pull during the debounce time; circuit detects the switch is pressed; marker fires!
Now this scenario is over simplified because the boards offer a lot of additional programming to consider modes of fire, ramping, etc. But basically, you get the idea.
If you want a more sensitive trigger lower the debounce if you want a more predictable trigger increase the debounce. But also keep in mind that there are other factors in terms of how quickly the marker can cycle (IE get ready for the next shot) and a debounce that is too low could result in misfiring issues.

Trend Alert: Stripes
When Charles de Ganay moved into his family's castle Château de Fleury, on the outskirts of the Fontainebleau forest, he brought his own aesthetic to the interiors, adding vivid floral wallpapers to what were originally white plaster walls, and artful ceilings to the main drawing room and dining room.
Featured in the September 2011 issue of ELLE DECOR
Designer Hubert de Vinols took on the ambitious renovation of Château de la Liègue in the Auvergne region of France. "My aim was to recreate the atmosphere that existed in former times," he told ELLE DECOR. Though his interiors have a mostly 18th-century feel, Vinols saw that the chateau's rooms acknowledged that their inhabitants are a busy, urban, 20th-cenutry couple."

Cessna is building a military jetTuesday, September 17th, 2013
Cessna Aircraft has very quietly built an econo military jet named Scorpion aimed at the jobs the bigger, meaner jets can do only at great expense, such as homeland security and border patrol. It's had its first engine test. With its straight wing, it will go slowly enough to intercept slower aircraft, but can hit 450 knots when angry. Cessna built it for AirLand, another Textron company, and used a little bit of Citation jet technology along with engines used on many business jets. It should fly in two or three weeks. It's said to cost more than a turboprop and less than a fighter jet. It was announced at the Air Force Association convention this week.

Rated 5 out of 5�by pugmom Excellent vest This life vest is very comfortable for my dog. The fit is perfect, and non constricting for their movement. Easy to put on, and my dog loves it!! August 14, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by kristytay Love It We have a Labrador Retriever that LOVES the water. We have a difficult time keeping him out of it. We kayak and I was nervous that while were on the lake he might become tired so we are thrilled about this life jacket. Fits great, he loves it and he actually realized right away he can stay in the water much longer because it keeps him afloat. May 31, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by MTK Great Pet Vest for boaters. My dog is an excellent swimmer and she sometimes jumps out of the kayak. It was hard to get her back in the boat and the vest has a handle on the top that allows me to pull her back into the boat. June 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Naturelover61 Great for our disabled dog! My golden retriever always loved to swim. After he had a stroke 2 1/2 yrs ago I thought swimming would be great physical therapy for him but he would swim leaning over to one side and occasionally swallow water. I saw this item in Dicks and bought it. I put it on him and it worked great. He swims in the proper upright position with it on. He seems comfortable in it and happy. People often remark how nice it looks. Now I feel more comfortable around the pool, canal, boating, and camping around lakes when he is wearing his life vest. Slim fit design, works very well, dog seems very comfortable in it. May 16, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by lulu Great product! Easy to use. My dog didn't seem to mind it on. Usually, she has issues with things on her. September 5, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by Patxi STRENGTH OF HANDLE & SIZE medium was too large. Small was too small. Handle was weak and not safe to lift our 35 pound service dog, which is a shame since we needed a life vest for safety reasons. August 4, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by steph Caused burns on the inside of my dogs legs. The straps do not fit over the fabric underneath properly. Instead the straps rubbed so bad that it caused blisters on my dogs stomach. I could not lift my dog out of the water in this one either.I am returning the jacket. July 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Keith Great My golden love being on the boat and wears the vest easily and comfortably. He also looks good in it. The vest is easy to put on and take off. Overal I am very happy July 9, 2014

Bittersweet GoodbyesPosted Saturday, January 29, 2011, at 11:01 PM
I've blogged about this horse before, and I've been so proud to call her mine. We had her since she was a yearling, and she's now 16 years old. My son ... who is now 29, 'started' her when he was about 15, and she was at times a handful. She was always a big mare, and she knew it. She was never intentionally devious, but she could get scared pretty easy, and as big as she was, she could move a long way in a short time. I don't think she ever really bucked though, and my son won lots of trophies on her, while he used her for 4-H. She was the Quarter Horse Filly of the Western Idaho Fair as a 2 year old. He was real proud of that! Evan graduated and Katie went on to use Planet. More trophies came their way, and Planet just continued to get better. We had lots of horse come and go, thru the years, but Planet just kind of was a good "all round' Horse. My youngest had a colt of his own when he was doing the last 3 years or so of his 4-H career, but he rode her from time to time also.
When the kids were all gone, I rode her just for whatever, and then I decided to show her too. "Showing" really wasn't her "thing" but we did that for about 2 years, and she did bring home some awards.
What I used her for was Endurance Riding. She LOVED going for miles and miles. And she loved that I just "let" her go. She's a registered Quarter horse, with running blood, and it showed. She could go 25 miles in just under 3 hours, and still seem fresh. She is a grand daughter of Dash for Cash. She was one of the first pretty nice horses I ever owned. I was never much for knowing about breeding and pedigrees, but even I knew about Dash for Cash.
Here is a little about him
He is currently the number 2 all-time leading sire by earnings, and the sire of the number 1, First Down Dash. He sired 827 winners (145 stakes winners) from 1,155 starters and the earners of $39,990,245. He is currently number 5 all-time sire by winners. He is currently the all time leading broodmare sire by earnings at $56,104,925. He is currently number 2 all time broodmare sire by winners with 2027 winners (235 stakes winners) from 3154 starters. He is probably the most important modern sire in the Quarter Horse industry. He shows up in the first three generations in 9 of the 10 top earning horses for 2006 as an example.
This statue stands in Amarillo, Texas in his name.
A classic photograph of a great champion: Milt Martinez caught Dash For Cash at the moment of one of the stallion's greatest triumphs, with Jerry Nicodemus standing in the irons as they win their first Champion of Champions in track-record time.
From the cover of The Quarter Racing Record, January 15, 1978:
Dash For Cash, with Jerry Nicodemus aboard, gains a length and one-quarter triumph over Azure Three and Bar Roula in the $100,000 Champion of Champions to become the first horse ever to win the event twice. The race was run on December 17 at Los Alamitos Race Course. Phillips Ranch and King Ranch, Inc., own the four-year-old son of Rocket Wrangler--Find A Buyer, by To Market, who was trained by Charles "Bubba" Cascio.
If you'd like to read more about Dash for Cash
I have an old mare who I will have til she dies. At the time I bought Planet, the old mare was 10, but she had got pretty sick. I was on my way home from the vet with her, and stopped by my friend Max Robert's house. He could tell I was upset, because the vet had just told me she wasn't going to live. Max had me go out to see the new filly he had just brought home from the Billingsly Creek Ranch sale. To make a story short, he gave me a deal for the filly, and I loaded her up and took her home with me and my mare that very day. I'm not usually impulsive, but she was so gorgeous, and I was depressed! heeeheee. I could already tell she was a hot headed filly, as she struck out when I went to pet her. Why I took her home is still odd to me, but I was in awe of her looks I guess. Apparently I was right, she fit right in.
There were times I hated her hot headed self that she was, but she was one of those that just never gave up. She would go and go and go. She was never tired, and there was never anything she couldn't do. She might not want to, but she could.
In the last few years, she also became a great baby sitter for kids. I would NEVER have believed it of her, if I hadn't seen it for myself, time after time. She took such great care of those kids, and if she felt them get off balance, she simply stopped and waited for them to 'right' themselves. She would barely creep around with the kids that might be nervous. She just knew. She'd stand patiently as long as it took for them to climb on and off her.
It was funny, cuz then I could get on, and she'd be a handful again, or if Wayne rode her, she'd be a racing fool to catch a calf.
Our niece did a rodeo (Bruneau Junior Round Up) and Planet showed her speed.
Like Grandfather Like Granddaugher...
Last year I leased her to a young girl who I now consider a Grand daughter. Planet taught her to ride, English and Western. They also loved jumping whatever came along.
Below is one of my favorite pics of Al and Planet. Planet is soft and listening to Al.
My Grandson riding her and lovin' every minute. How pretty is that mare! You can see from the expression on his face, that this is they way it should be on a horse. Happy
This is maybe the last time I rode her. Playing the ribbon race with Al at the Play day we went to in October.
This is a day I took my friend Sharon to the Top of the World!
Al's Mom,
Some kids that just wanted a ride
It was time for Planet to go and show another young girl the fun of Horsemanship. She now belongs to a 14 year old girl, who was so excited to have her. We took them to the Optimst Park so she could ride her around. She told her Dad, "She does everything!"
Both Wayne and I had a lot of misgivings about selling her. I mean, who sells a horse that can be used for everything? But the thing is, we have several of them. We just can't keep them all. Planet really needed to move on and be really important to a young girl. I feel real good about where she went. I picked this girl for her. We had her advertised for a couple months, and we actually "didn't" sell to a few people, that just didn't seem to be the right match. Wrong or not, she was still my horse. This young girl was soooooooo excited, I felt it was right. Planet now lives near MacKay. I wish her the very best, and I hope she makes them as happy as it looks like it began.
This young girl got a great horse.
Please take care.

She did turn into a great horse.
Though I still cringe seeing the 2 kids double on her!!

There is something about the "outside of a horse that's so good for the inside of a man/woman"
If you haven't been close to a horse, you might not understand, but I know lots of you do!

I feel wistful for my old Glor sometimes too. And he was good for nothing. He was fun to watch while he played though. He acted like a big puppy all the time, with narry a care in the world.

Miss Potatoe Head ( I can say that right?) Thanks for your very sweet comment. I wouldn't ever wanna not have the connection between us that Planet helped create. I needed another daughter and grand daughter.... none better than the two of you.

Most beautiful love for a horse story ever!
I believe there is a reason for everything. I believe Planet has not only shown the sweet love between a girl and her horse is priceless, but also connected us in a way that will last a lifetime. XO

I enjoyed reading and looking at all the pictures. If your feeling wistful, you should call the girl and see how every thing is....

I am interested in this Community, County, and the beautiful state of Idaho. Most of my photos will be in Idaho, but from time to time, they will be my vacations aay from Idaho. You'll see lots of my Children and Grand children, along with others in my family. Of course there will be horses and horse related things, and things I photo'd horseback.

Had fun with this one last year, so we'll make this an annual event.
Very simple.
$100 to play, but it gets you an entire college basketball season worth of excitement. We'll have a five round draft (draft order will be set randomly and snake) of all Div I college basketball teams.
Most TOTAL regular season wins for your five team portfolio wins the pool. First tiebreaker will be lowest total aggregate seeds in the NCAA Tourney. So if you have two 1 seeds, a 3 seed, and two five seeds - your total would be 15. Teams that do not make the tourney (unlikely any in a tiebreak scenario would have a non-tourney team) would get a total of 17 for tiebreak purposes.
Here's a link to last year's pool: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=21107
It came down to the Saturday night before Selection Sunday Big East Championship game, with me edging Dano when Louisville knocked off Cincinnati. Contending portfolios:
Swerb 2 131
Syracuse Orangemen 31
Louisville Cardinals 26
Creighton Blue Jays 28
Cleveland State Vikings 22
UNC Asheville Bulldogs 24
Dano 129
Baylor Bears 27
St. Marys Gaels 27
Bucknell Bison 24
Oral Roberts Golden Eagles 27

What do Senator Hillary Clinton, President George Bush, and the Pope have in common? (A bit of a brain teaser, that one, I know.) Answer: They're all very concerned about the threat of nuclear terrorism.
Last week, at the Democratic primary debate at St. Anselm College in New Hampshire, the very first question posed by moderator Charles Gibson was about the threat of nuclear terrorism. Confronted with a hypothetical scenario of a nuclear-equipped al-Qaeda, Senator Clinton said, "I think it's important... because obviously that's the most direct threat to the United States." She then went on to describe five steps she would take in that scenario.
Days later, Pope Benedict gave his annual "state of the world" address in Vatican City. He called on world leaders to strengthen their joint efforts to "prevent terrorists from gaining access to weapons of mass destruction."
For his part, President Bush says that, "The greatest threat we face today is the possibility of a secret and sudden attack with chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons."
Across the board, the State Department, the Department of Energy, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, Congress, the White House, and many others are working to prevent terrorists from acquiring and using nuclear weapons and materials, and to plan how to respond to a nuclear terrorist attack if one were to occur.
For some people, though, the threat of nuclear terrorism belongs more in the plot line of a Jack Bauer escapade on the television drama 24 than on the priority lists of presidents and popes. Still, many people are aware of and concerned about the threat.
A recent public opinion survey by the Saga foundation found that 62% of Americans are concerned about the possibility of a nuclear terrorist attack on U.S. soil, while 38% are not concerned. The same survey found that 49% of Americans think Al-Qaeda poses a greater nuclear threat to the United States than another country armed with nuclear weapons.
I wonder where DipNote readers fall on this question:
Are you concerned about the threat of nuclear terrorism? Why or why not?
I'm interested in hearing your thoughts!
(Note: I had a lot of fun blogging about my experiences in Saudi Arabia last year. As I continue to reflect on my time in Riyadh, I'm sure I'll have more posts about Saudi in the future. But I'm also going to start sharing some of my experiences with my current position with the Office of WMD Terrorism here in Washington. I'm looking forward to continue engaging on both topics – keep those comments coming!)
Shawn writes:
The threat of nuclear terrorism is certainly plausible and would certainly prove to be catastrophic. However, in a free society (if we're to remain a free society) there is only so much we can realistically do.
It seems to me that we're spending a large amount of our time formulating policy based on fighting the symptoms of terrorism rather than the causes. This is a losing battle. We may get very good at stopping individual terrorist cells from carrying out attacks but, even as the President himself has stated, they only need to get it right once, we need to get it right every time. This is a bad bet.
So, while we certainly need to remain vigilant against immediate threats, why are we not, instead, discussing, "Why would anyone want to detonate a nuclear weapon in the United States?**" This is certainly a harder problem to solve and could take years to address, but our chances of success are much greater than trying to stop every lunatic with ill intent.
** I'll give you a hint... It's not because they "hate us for our freedom".
Joe in Tennessee writes:
If anything, I worry about the plausibility of it happening on a smaller scale involving Israel more than anything else, which would lead to a larger scale war.
The repeated open threats by Iran both politically and religiously are and should be taken seriously by this administration. Even if peace were possible with Palestine including the Gaza strip, Iran leaves no open door and continues to be offensive in all talks. Iran only verbally is giving ground, while incorporating more defensive support from Russia. This puts them where they were two years ago offensively.
With Russia taking back many human rights within their country and taking over most Industrial and Energy concerns as well a free press, all alliances of Russia should be circumspect. Why is the fact that over 3,000 centrifuges is not problematic if Russia aids or sells the enriched U to them? It's not a downgrading of threat, only an increase in actuality.
On our soil, there is always that possibility if anyone actually wanted an end game; but, the fall out in destroying America's farm land alone would make a large scale attack not probable by any major power as that is our major resource. We still continue to out produce and feed the world.
The same ideology is the major problem with feasibility of large scale nuclear war in the Middle East. The world is a giant Economic base which runs on energy. The #1 Energy source is still oil and the oil sources would be useless after such a war ...unless you believe Chavez would start one there to make his oil worth more for leverage... LOL. I mean what could you think a person is capable of who meets with the FARC one week and the next people are kidnapped by them while Chavez acts as the negotiator. While this example seem lunacy, it does cast light on the major problem, that some low level world leader with the mentality of a Mercenary or fanatical Religious leader would use a WMD without forethought.
On a small scale in the U.S.A., I believe that it is already in place. To believe otherwise would be blissful ignorance. We have been through this before and know what Russia has done, or claimed to in the past and now know what the rest of the world is capable of.
It's not a manifested paranoia, it is premised on history and the level of leadership outside the U.S.A. who may or already have WMDs.
Dan in Washington, DC writes:
Tara -- I am highly concerned about this issue, as it is an extremely serious threat. Terrorists, like those that executed the 9/11 attack, would seemingly not think twice about using any type of attack they could carry out, including a nuclear one. I understand that executing such a nuclear attack would not be a simple, easy thing to do, but by no means does this difficulty suggest that such an attack is impossible. Indeed, many have said that such an attack is quite possible.
In this regard, here are some interesting excerpts from a speech that late Senator / Ambassador Daniel Patrick Moynihan gave which address in part this issue of terrorists and nuclear attacks ... (this is taken from an address Moynihan made to the graduating class of Harvard University in 2002 ... the entire speech is found at
Begin quotes from Moynihan:
The terrorist attacks on the United States of last September 11 were not nuclear, but they will be. Again to cite Huntington, "At some point, a few terrorists will be able to produce massive violence and massive destruction. Separately, terrorism and nuclear weapons are the weapons of the non-Western weak. If and when they are combined, the non-Western weak will be strong."
This was written in 1996. The first mass murder by terrorists (on 9/11) came last September. Just last month the vice president informed Tim Russert that "the prospects of a future attack are almost certain. Not a matter of if, but when." Secretary Rumsfeld has added that the attack will be nuclear.
We are indeed at war and we must act accordingly, with equal measures of audacity and precaution. ...
Reason and careful moral reflection teach us that there are times when the first and most important reply to evil is to stop it.
But there is more. Forty-seven years ago, on this occasion (Harvard's graduation ceremony), General George C. Marshall summoned our nation to restore the countries whose mad regimes had brought the world such horror. It was an act of statesmanship and vision without equal in history. History summons us once more in different ways, but with even greater urgency. Civilization need not die. At this moment, only the United States can save it. As we fight the war against evil, we must also wage peace, guided by the lesson of the Marshall Plan -- vision and generosity can help make the world a safer place.
End quotes from Moynihan.
Ginny in Ohio writes:
I lived in Iran when the first Americans were killed there in the 70s, and I found that the best way to deal with the ever present threat was to be reasonably careful - lock the doors and look both ways before crossing the street, and other than that to not think about it. It can be paralyzing if you dwell on things you can't do anything about.
Ronald in New York writes:
Absolutely concerned about the threat of nuclear terrorism:
I have lived my whole life with the specter of nuclear disaster in the background. Bomb-tests, cold-war, Cuban missile crisis, loose-nukes, suitcase bombs, accidental detonations and deliveries... The U.S.A. has created these nightmares by establishing nuclear weapons as the gold standard for human security ...now, nukes are free-floating in the FSU, CAR, and moving in our direction in the hands of global criminals and terrorists ...it is, unfortunately the next link on the geopolitical chain.
P.S.: so glad you had "fun blogging about...Saudi Arabia."
Ralph in Greece writes:
Since you mentioned "24", then I would say that one way to help with the WAR on Terror & terror attacks is to allow the fine agents of the FBI, CIA, DoD, NSA, etc to do their jobs.
If our federal agents are allowed to do their jobs without worrying about getting in trouble for tickling terrorists, then maybe they can focus on catching the bad guys instead of watching their backs.
I only wish our agents were able to do some of the stuff that Jack Bauer of "24" does. I believe that like Jack Bauer in the fictional "24" series, our Federal agents have our (USA) national interests & safety first and foremost at heart.
I certainly believe federal agents to be more trustworthy than the agenda toting journalists trying to discredit them.
Phil in Illinois writes:
It's good that you're asking this question because it's not asked enough. The answer is yes, I am concerned--nuclear terrorism is the gravest threat to U.S. national security. First, it wouldn't be that hard for terrorists to build a device considering the ease of acquiring fissile nuclear material on the black market, sympathies in Pakistan for Islamic militants and the ease of acquiring the knowledge necessary to detonate it. Second, we don't have any credible deterrence options against a scattered terrorist organization that openly seeks martyrdom. I also wouldn't put any stock in moral outrage or the nuclear taboo as a sufficient deterrent. Third, nuclear terrorism makes strategic sense from Al Qaeda's point of view since it would sow sufficient panic that either a) we would lash out in another unwise and costly war b) we and foreigners would lose all confidence in investing in the future of the U.S. economy or c) we would give in to their (now seemingly low cost) demands. Fourth, our 'last line of defense'--port security--is pretty porous, even with radiation detectors. We have a pathetic record of keeping contraband out of the country. I am really pessimistic on this issue, I know, but I feel that it's probably safer than being optimistic. I'm curious to know what others think.
Rachel in Texas writes:
The threat of nuclear terrorism is a very real and present danger.
With North Korea, Pakistan and Iran possessing the capabilities of building and maintaining a nuclear arsenal, the power no longer lies solely with the signers of the NPT. Furthermore, the Cold War policy of MAD doesn't seem to apply as a deterrent any longer. Especially if we don't know how to retaliate on a target that networks through any number of countries.
Really, I'm not certain I see a "Sum of All Fears" scenario. Despite the fact that most Americans do not consider the security measures taken at our ports of entry, the reality is that if someone wanted to smuggle a bomb of sorts into the U.S., they likely would have done so already.
The situation that worries, me though, is that I can see an attack on a country like Italy, the U.K., Israel, or Kuwait and we, the United States, are helpless to respond. Once that occurs, what happens to the balance of world leadership? Britain isn't in a situation to lead, neither is France or Germany. We'd be left with a geopolitical power vacuum that would have to be filled.
The distinguishing characteristic of American foreign policy has been that even though we were offered the chance of an empire on numerous occasions, we declined. How can we be sure that another country would do the same?
It's in America's best interest, and in the best interest of the world in general, that America maintain her position at the top of the world hierarchy. The only way to do that is keep a tight lid on nuclear proliferation.
Joe in Tennessee writes:
Not to enforce insecurity, but this week Russia produced another TU-160 Blackjack Bomber. It's an upgraded version of the past ones and much like our B1. It provides a 12,000 km flying range, night refueling being practice has been reinstituted and though no match for our new bombers, it carries an extensive payload with specialized new micro nuclear missiles and bombs. We both have about 100 long range bombers, but Russia is continuing more production on this line...for what reason? They have money now, work beyond their population base, energy, gold, 70% of all large scale Steel and Aluminum manufacturing, proximity to natural resources....and an arsenal which could cause world annihilation already. What is the purpose?
India is on the same path...Why? China is on the same path, Japan wants to produce more military hardware.
It has to end somewhere, sometime. How and when are the only questions at this juncture of history?
Democratic States and Countries seem to be the best solution. Does anyone have a better idea?
Ronald in New York writes:
Nuclear Terrorism: In the 1990's, I made a few trips to Russia and heard about unsecured nuclear facilities; and the movement of nuclear materials on the black market. Money was very scarce, descent jobs in the soviet science industries were gone, and there was a rise in organized crime and terrorist groups (Chechens, Taliban). Very little has been done to address these issues, and the opportunities for nuclear smuggling has become greater than ever. Why do we wait, when we know the facts?
Eric in New Mexico writes:
Oh my, Tara...if you are inviting the public to write the script..."we the people" and all concerned would most probably be in favor of seeing a WMD-free world no later than July 2045, which would mark 100 years since the first nuclear device was detonated on this planet.
Personally, I think it's do-able and a reasonable target date if we are witness to a fundamental shift in mindset now, and one far beyond those realizations come to as a result of 9/11. Building on the raw gut instinct for self preservation inherent of the human species.
The intent of the NPT has not fully been met by nations. Trust issues remain like echoes of the cold war in a dense fog of vetted ambiguity, perceptions of intent, along with failure to comply.
We have an opportunity to preserve this currently existing momentum of international cooperation in non proliferation, counter terrorism that as it is reflected in this country's long term security and the world's in standing up against those that commit crimes against humanity; Our commitment to this is only going to be fully manifest by the replacement of the ABM treaty with one that builds on the progress made, and prevents the militarizing of space. Without this as a goal, it's like quitting a job with none to go to.
All in all, nuclear war is in my mind the ultimate terrorist act. Terrorists just about started one between India and Pakistan in 2002 (hat tip to folks at State for "stopping the car in time"), but few seem to grasp the fact that a terrorist like Bin Laden knows how to play a situation for all it's worth, and will use any and all weapons at his disposal, including old animosities among nations.
As a citizen who knows the history involved, coming from a reliable source, if you will, when I consider the overall international failures to contain the spread of nuclear weapons and associated technology, and the current situation, putting the genie back in the bottle requires a miracle, you cannot un-invent something. From a cold standpoint of probability, nuclear weapons will eventually be used at some point unless the current world situation changes drastically for the better.
Ok, so we need a dramatic ending to this sitcom. We have lived so long with the reality of imminent destruction that we've become numb to it in ways that are as dysfunctional as the "Simpsons".
One cannot simultaneously plan for the "American dream", and prepare for Armageddon. Thus we need to have a proper attitude to approach the solution with, and conclude the episode so to speak.
Picture this:
All the nations of the world have simultaneously duck-taped all the pissed off preachers of the world to all the nuclear missiles of the world and have themselves one heck of a fireworks display on the Moon for New Years next year with the world as witness.
I mean it seriously, this would be the best public diplomacy stunt ever. Folks would be talking about it for centuries.
Thanks for your consideration in this grave matter. For with these thoughts put forward (as they be a radical departure from any plan, or policy I have seen offered up...); I hope they serve to broaden the possibilities and inspire debate, and resolution of these issues.

I will answer to that question why
The U.S. military budget is 200 times more than Russian armies...
The TU -160 is nothing in comparison what the U.S. is producing...
I would give to JOE the same question why?
In case if the U.S. has more than 10.000 nuke warheads why it is producing more???
Recently I was watching documentary about the Russian submarines...After the "Perestroika" The U.S. Navy became so powerful that Russia could not even resist to the U.S. "invasion".
In back to 1990 the equipment was old and deteriorated... The Russian Navy was in brake of catastrophe... the Nuclear submarines just left to catch rust...Because Gorbachev was interested in closing the military manufacturing rather than producing submarines... redesigned one of the best submarine factories to kitchen utensils producer... It was the result of Regan Gorbachev notorious treaty about the friendship and cooperation.
But what happened in the reality was that the U.S. submarines were coming closer to the Russia's borders and even worse getting deep down to the Russia's territorial waters because Americans knew that there is no fleet that can resist.
Russian military representatives where telling that we could see on radars the U.S. submarines but we were unable to do anything.
But now everything is different because Russia is doing well in economy and can afford to produce not a quantity but high quality 4th generation nuclear submarines that are even better than American analogues...
And you see as a result no American submarines are crossing the Russian borders anymore...

Your timeframe referencing is incorrect for premises.
You are using a communist era as an example, so unless you do not believe in democracy, why would you not feel Russia a military threat? From the 1960's they openly admitted a desire to overthrow us. Their attempt both in house, which means within our boarders, and outside to destabilize any democratic union makes them an active enemy, not passive. I don't believe you have studied the historical lines of statistical threat against the U.S.. From the list of internal violations of National Security to their covert operations to destabilize third world democratic countries is well documented. So the question is: Do you believe in a Democracy, Socialism or Communism/Marxism? You need to state a side first.
You are incorrect in assuming Russia was broke to begin with. No one knew how much Russia had in Gold reserves and why would you believe the statistics almost a decade latter? They were and still are holding the fourth largest gold reserves in the world, had oil even in the last oil crisis, have vast natural mining resources from steel to uranium and in three days devalued the U.S. dollar with one Wheat Futures deal back in the 70s. They were the reason we went off the gold standard. The fact they did not give back to their people or simply stopped wasting money on military hardware does not mean they were broke by a long stretch.
Deception is the Devils best weapon. They took the U.S. for over 16 billion when the wall went down, sucked in our technology and are now promoting war and economic conflict worldwide again. They have even bought back over 70% of all past private banking, energy and media resources. So, there is an evolution back, so to speak, of Putin's KGB days. Which means what?
Since those old days of the Great Game, China is a new comer in offensive military might in trying to dispose the U.S.. There are more fanatical leaders who have access to WMD as we write now?
Like it or not the United States of America does represent Democracy at its best. Even with all our faults, mistakes, varied cultures, good and bad leadership legislation, who is better off in the world? We are the only Governmental Democratic system which still adheres to protecting the citizen, the foundation of democracy. It can adjust because of our framework of separation of powers, which does not exist anywhere else and that State must stay supreme to exist today.
It is sad that the situation exist as it does today, but military deterrents are always absolute.
The saddest part of it all is: Nothing has changed and we are being pushed by the pursuit of existence to either have one world with independent democratic nations or a finial conflict...so it seems.
On a personal level the decision comes back to: What type of government do you want to live under and how far would you go to protect it.

Dear Tara,
On the flyleaf of my grandmother's book about Los Alamos that I gave to Bill Clinton the day he was first elected President, I wrote,
"This is a slice of times past, to give perspective on the present, so that in the future we can eliminate the threat of nuclear war. The greatest threat we face today is that terrorists will obtain nuclear weapons."
I wonder if he had a chance to read it. "Inside Box 1663" may still be in the White house library for those interested in whether or not I speak the truth.
Took a decade and 9/11 for folks to wake up, and I hope not too late, now that everyone seems to be quoting me.
With no ego do I say this, but with a sense of sadness and disappointment that I was not able to successfully drive the point home and park it in the global mindset long ago.
As a member of one of America's first nuclear families, these subjects are unavoidably personal, my granddad did his job during a time of war, and helped end it. Family duty being what it is, I must follow through today.
In some ways, thinking about the subject can make one crazy, and it's true enough that a normal existence cannot be lived with the possibility at the forefront of daily conscious thought.
( which in my case may have given rise to a sense of humor that can find a use for duct-tape that not even John Ashcroft and the entire Dept of Homeland Security could have envisioned in their wildest counterterrorism scenarios. -see previous post-)
The only way to uninvent something is ban it, including eliminating all knowledge associated, and isolating those with that knowledge from being able to teach future generations how to construct a device.
One must not only ensure the political will of nations to do so, but the popular will of people globally. Getting the hardware and material off planet is simple by comparison, and that's what it would take to make sure it wasn't accessed at some future date.
It will take a generation or more for the knowledge to die with those that know how to build them presently, yet therein lies another hurdle.
Having been institutionalized into the military industrial complex of several nations, there lies an economic aspect involved in maintaining nuclear arsenals that defies a more logical way of putting the money to work getting rid of them for the good of all, once and for all. I believe only by tragic example will mankind ever find the incentive, cynical as that may sound.
And for all the danger associated, there are worse things than nukes. Folks in Los Alamos do disease outbreak simulations on anthrax and smallpox, but not on something like a Crimean-Congo fever/Ebola cocktail that's been weaponized. I'm sure the reason why is as obvious to you as it is to me, but for those living in ignorant bliss, it's not studied simply because the end result once "in population," is all too predictable. The virtual extinction of humankind.
WMD in the hands of terrorists kind of makes global climate change look like a nat's bite on an elephant's backside in threat comparison.
Arthur in Greece writes:
@ Joe in Tennessee -- I believe in Democracy and share the Values ...but it doesn't really means that one who believe in Democracy have to be an anti-Russian too.
Russia is a new democratic country. Maybe not perfect however the country choose the right way of the system and the progress is obvious. From the ashes it is gaining back the power again.
If you would see the current Russian policy there is nothing to do with what it used to be during the Soviet Era.
The national goals are totally different that it was used to be. Now they are struggling for prosperity. It is even unfair to have the biggest natural resources of the world and to have people who live in poverty. Russia is going to be one of the biggest powers in the next twenty years. And all is because of the Democratic system.
This fact is not welcomed from some couturiers (like the U.S., England etc.) because they afraid that Russia can misuse that power in order to increase the influence on International arena. For that reason you can see an increasing anti-Russian propaganda again.
However, what Russians do they just want to increase the living standard of the country. Make more prosperous and powerful. By occupying a foreign country and waging wars for whatever reason you wont achieve it, they learn it from the history very well in contrast of Americans. And the reason is simple: money like stability. You can see the situation in Iraq... is the US gain prosperity by occupying that country?
In 1960 Soviet Union and the US were in confrontation called Cold War. Both sides where using something which is called War Propaganda. The Mass Media is very powerful and effective weapon than any kind of armors or missiles. Both sides used a technique which is called "Brain Washing". Because it is always easy to blame for any vice (even your personal failures) to your "enemy". And this part (psychological) of human nature was manipulated from both sides with "high efficiency".
Back to that time there was no Internet invented otherwise I am sure the people of the Soviet Union and United States could overcome fears of the Mechanism of Propaganda and differentiate between TRUE and FALSE. All in all we are just human beings (no matter under what rule we live) and everybody want to live in Peace.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
I agree with you Arthur, the whole point in advocating democracy (in all it's various forms as systems of governance), is to lift people up, not keep them down.
On the whole however, humanity suffers the echoes of a mindset that helped create a situation where one may call themselves civilized, while governments make it possible to exterminate the species, via biological, chemical, and nuclear weaponry.
It becomes an issue of trust. Is an emerging, or even existing government, stability and sanity become essential.
To prevent non-state entities from using WMD, if nothing else.
It's probably fair to point out that Russia has some 12 time zones, and is as diverse in population as the US. As a nation, Russia has some good basic things going, including the means to support its people with its resources.
In the past, Russia has had government that has not allocated resources to the best interests of the people, and my own gov. has been guilty of same.
And if anyone can tell me that the end of civilization is in anyone's best interest, then perhaps a rational explanation will be offered as to why we believe having these weapons some how makes us safe.
"Safe" must be a relative concept.
I try to see a silver lining in how humanity has by a thin probability, managed NOT to blow ourselves to oblivion simply by accident, up till now.
Whereas today, some would seek to do so by design.
Lends impetus to solve the biggest paradox of all, and it be all nation's task to arrive at a mindset we ( humanity that is ), can live with.
Life, Liberty, the Pursuit of Happiness, and all that other good stuff.
The end of terrorism and the end of a certain dysfuntionality among the family of nations will come hand in hand I believe, but it requires realization.
When battleships give way to sailboats, how does the world realize its true self?

My 1st iPulse article!
Some of you may know I am one of the Web Editors for iPulse. This has me get the articles and pictures ready to go onto the iPulse website so I don't really get to write articles. I have Professor Powers for Introduction to Journalism as well as the iPulse. For intro to Journ. she had each of the students write a Feature story. I knew I would excel at this since I had spent the last two years as a Feature writer for my high school's paper The Ridge. Anyway, I decided to do a feature on Knights in the Community.
I interviewed the president of KIC and turned out an article to turn in. I found out the following week that it was going into iPulse! I was surprised but excited to actually have an article in the paper. So please read my article and you can find out more about KIC and what the president has to say!
Happy Reading! I'd love to get your thoughts on the article. I am currently working on a new article for next week that Prof. Powers wants me to do (she is determined to get me to write…. lol).
Here is the link to my article you can also read it from Monday's iPulse Mini.

Panfish still biting; turkey permits available Monday
IRON MOUNTAIN – Panfish action is still good for anglers willing to venture out in the waning days of ice fishing.
"Bluegill and perch are still hitting," said Bob Kennard at Midtown Bait & Tackle in Channing. He listed Six Mile, Squaw and Witch lakes as popular destinations.
Kennard said a lucky angler pulled a 30-inch walleye from Way Dam just before the inland season for that species closed.
At John Grier's Whispering Pines Outpost in Breitung Township, a 14 1/4-inch perch leads the March contest. Grier said slush and snow is making access difficult, although fishing at Gene's Pond remains "pretty good."
"Everything's kind of winding down for now," said Don Ciochetto at The Sport Shop in Iron River. "Panfishing, and maybe some lake trout, that's about it."
In Michigan, leftover turkey licenses go on sale Monday morning to all hunters, including those who did not participate in the application process. Leftover licenses will be sold until quotas are met.
In Wisconsin, leftover permits for northeastern zones go on sale Friday, March 22.
Winter is lingering a bit longer and so are many birds, who are biding their time waiting for warmer, sunnier days before heading north, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources reported.
The Michigan DNR reported the following fishing conditions across the Upper Peninsula:
Keweenaw Bay: Lake trout fishing was slow off Jentoffs, the Center Reef, Whirl-I-Gig Road and Pequaming. Those moving around in 120 to 270 feet of water did manage to catch a few. Some were caught in 100 to 150 feet of water off Newton's Reef, Farmers Reef and Big Reef or the south end of Big Reef in 260 feet of water. Coho, lake herring and smelt were slow but should pick back up.
Marquette: Most of the area is covered with floating pack ice. Boats now have access from the beach. Jigging for coho was slow. A couple anglers were fishing from the coal docks in the Lower Harbor but caution needs to be used. Strong winds will cause the ice to shift.
Chicagon Lake: Is producing a good number of small perch. The few walleye that were caught were taken in waters 25 feet or deeper. The slushy conditions are worse than they have been all winter. Don't drive on it if it is not plowed.
Iron Lake: Fishing was slow with only a few small pike and some bluegills caught. Deep snow and slush make for difficult travel.
Groveland Mine Ponds: Still have ice however slush is making travel more difficult. Island Lake is producing a lot of small bluegills for those jigging wax worms. Perch and crappie were also caught. West Lake was producing bluegills and perch out in the middle. Anglers on South Lake were fishing near the boat launch but catch rates were slow for perch, crappie and bluegills.
Lake Antoine: Still has ice but slush is making travel difficult. Both the south end and the east side of the lake have produced some perch. Many were small but anglers still managed to catch some ranging eight to 10 inches. Bluegill fishing slowed but a few were caught in the middle. Anglers are jigging wax worms or still-fishing with tip-ups and minnows. Pike spearing was slow.
Little Bay De Noc: Has ice but travel has become difficult after the rain and heavy wet snow. Walleye catches were fair at best with the majority of anglers north of the "Narrows." Most of the fish caught were females measuring 25 to 30 inches. Walleye were caught in three to six feet of water around Garth Point when using tip-ups with sucker minnows. Even though scattered catches were reported all along the reefs the overall harvest was much lower than this time last year. Perch fishing was best along the Kipling Flats and the "Narrows." Most are jigging minnows and wigglers in 19 to 30 feet of water. At Sand Point, anglers need to use caution and watch for areas where the ice is breaking up along the pressure cracks.
Au Train: Still had some ice beyond Au Train Island. Anglers need to use caution as some of the ice has started to buckle. Anglers were jigging for coho off the mouth of the river but catch rates were poor. The Brownstone launch had an average of two or three feet of snow.

How does CUBRID compare to Postgres in terms of security (brute force, sql injection, etc.)?
How does CUBRID compare to Postgres in terms of security (brute force, sql injections, etc.)? I am currently weighing my options right now and am impressed with CUBRID's speed but an concerned about security and data protection.
SQL injections and other security concerns have to be taken care by developers themselves, not the DBMS. This is something common to all databases.
- Keep your credentials safe, don't share.
- Escaping strings before sending to the server will protect your from SQL injections.
- Bind to a specific IP address if you don't want or need remote access except for your specific IP.
- When using CUBRID Web Manager, make sure you're within https protocol to encrypt the server-client communication.
- When using CUBRID Manager or CUBRID Query Browser or CUBRID Migration Toolkit, make sure your computer is accessible only by you or other trusted people, since these tools optionally allow you to store host or database passwords.
- Also, when accessing a remote CUBRID Server, these CUBRID Tools need to have specific ports open. Open them only, not the full range.
- If necessary, database users should be granted access to only specific tables if those users don't need to access other tables.
- To protect yourself from DDoS attacks, first eliminate the chance of SQL injections. Also, your OS firewall should do its job. Configure it properly.
Other than this, CUBRID is pretty safe. You actually don't have to think about it. Just make sure the above things are taken care of.
What else? Mmm... if you have something else you're concerned about, please let us know. We will be glad to help you.

Warren-based state police responded to the Warren Area High School lower parking lot on May 9 at 3:33 p.m. for a reported emergency situation involving a fully loaded school bus (K-12 graders). According to the police report, a nine year-old female from Warren was told several times by the bus driver to sit in her assigned seat but refused. This same student was then encountered by a 17 year-old female from Warren to moved to her assigned seat so the bus could leave. The nine year-old refused to move and pulled a pair of pointed scissors and proceeded to point them at and threaten the 17 year-old with physical harm. The investigation continues. Officers were assisted on scene by Warren City Police Officers.

hi guys!
i came across this blog, im sure a lot of you know this blog already...
i've noticed in his pictures that he wraps his tea cake in a paper wrapper, any of you know what these wrappers are? and what their purpose is?
im speculating that its humid in france, and these would help keep away moisture away from the tea cakes... i do have a bit high level of humidiy here in the philippines and im experimenting with storage conditions
from the translation that im getting, it seems like he just leaves the cake out to air naturally, and probably just has an extra layer of paper wrapper to protect from moisture, and just let the cakes breath, any inputs would really help =)

Global Footprint has launched a comprehensive review and update of its Ecological Footprint Standards, to be released in 2012. The standards (available here) establish best practices to govern the use and applicability of the Footprint method, allowing users everywhere to employ the Footprint across a wide range of approaches and applications while maintaining consistency, credibility, and integrity of results.
The Standards update, done a minimum of every three years, seeks to address gaps and challenges in existing guidelines, make the Footprint more widely usable and comparable across applications, and strengthen the quality and consistency of its use.
Global Footprint Network invites all Footprint users and stakeholders to provide input into this process.
We are now accepting input for the first draft of updates for the 2012 Ecological Footprint Standards. This public input period will last until November 1, 2011. There will also be two 60-day public review and comment periods, one review of the first draft in winter of 2011/12, and one review of the second draft in spring/summer 2012. The final standards will be published in the fall of 2012.
After reviewing the 2009 Ecological Footprint Standards, if you have any recommendations for updates please submit suggestions to email@example.com. Serious recommendations will be presented to the Ecological Footprint Standards committee for consideration. Individual responses to specific recommendations will depend on the volume of recommendations received. Note: if you are a member of our Partner Network, please include the word 'PARTNER' capitalized in the subject line of your email.
