Sad but true for many of our youth.
Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
What if all we have today is what we gave thanks for yesterday?

Franco...one area we all agree on the "uninformed voters"....! As I have commented before, I also am concerned about the misguided voters who either did not vote or choose to vote for a third party....although their motives may have been genuine, the result is the same as the "uninformed voters"....electing idiots to run our country.

Franco....I wish winning the Senate and House again, is as easy as you say...unfortunately, I believe the Republican Party is fractured and the same 3 million voters who stayed home in the last election will stay home again, unless we get some of the various splintered groups to come together at the poles and vote Republican.
About the time I really despair over today's youth, I get to go photograph a ceremony at NAS Corpus Christi. All these 1stLt's and Ens are pretty young and have stepped up in a time of war and said "send me, I'll go". Readjusts my perspective a bit.

A local story here. I'm not sure how old the woman is, but it sounds like she could be on the young side.
This woman delivered a baby, estimated to be 32 to 36 weeks, which is about full term, in the bathroom of a suburban sports bar! She then smothered the baby, wrapped it in plastic and deposited it in the tank of the toilet. They have arrested her for murder.
I cannot imagine how any human, even not the baby's parent, could have killed a newborn infant. It's beyond my comprehension. The woman was specific that she smothered the baby first; made sure it was dead before putting it in the toilet tank.

The characters in Flash Boys are fabulous, each completely different from what you think of when you think "Wall Street guy." Several have walked away from jobs in the financial sector that paid them millions of dollars a year. From their new vantage point they investigate the big banks, the world's stock exchanges, and high-frequency trading firms as they have never been investigated, and expose the many strange new ways that Wall Street generates profits.
The light that Lewis shines into the darkest corners of the financial world may not be good for your blood pressure, because if you have any contact with the market, even a retirement account, this story is happening to you. But in the end, Flash Boys is an uplifting read. Here are people who have somehow preserved a moral sense in an environment where you don't get paid for that; they have perceived an institutionalized injustice and are willing to go to war to fix it.
Flash Boys
From the Publisher
Flash Boys is about a small group of Wall Street guys who figure out that the U.S. stock market has been rigged for the benefit of insiders and that, post–financial crisis, the markets have become not more free but less, and more controlled by the big Wall Street banks. Working at different firms, they come to this realization separate...

I talk a lot about the Aims of Scouting. Here are the Aims and how they are broken down straight from the proverbial "Horses mouth".
As referenced in the BSA Fast Start Training:
Character Development
Encompasses a boy's personal qualities, values, and outlook.
A Scout learns confidence, honesty, and self-respect.
A Scout respects other people, regardless of differences.
A Scout practices his religious beliefs.
Citizenship Training
A Scout works among others in a troop with rules based on the common good.
A Scout learns about and takes pride in his own national heritage.
A Scout understands social, economic, and governmental systems.
A Scout learns service, tolerance, and community involvement.
Mental and Physical Fitness
A Scout improves his physical condition through exercise and outdoor activities.
A Scout encourages good health habits.
A Scout discourages drug, alcohol, and tobacco use.
A Scout learns sound judgment, resourcefulness, and decision-making skills.
Simple enough for me. If we are not working to this end… we are doing it wrong.
Remember what BP said.. "Scouting is a game with a purpose". This is our purpose, we just need to play game.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

My vets can't explain this to me... but maybe someone on this forum has had a similar experience. My dog 5 years old now. When she was 2, she got a bit of kennel cough, I took her to the vet and in the course of the exam, the vet hears a murmur. 2 weeks later (and a course of antibiotics) it's gone.
The dog is disgustingly healthy. She's an athletic Master Hunter, actively campaigned, a hard charger. But from time to time, on incidental exams, the murmur is there (grade 2 out of 6). Other times, it's not.
I considered retiring her (because I thought, based on the vet's findings, she had heart disease) but seriously, how do you tell a dog like that to "settle down and take it easy." And she's never shown any symptoms. And whenever the murmur is heard, it's the same grade 2. A chest film showed an "enlarged heart" but she is an extreme athlete... of course it's enlarged. Oh, and it was suggested I take her to a canine cardiologist for an echocardiogram, EKG etc. etc. but that would have approached a 4 figure number... for a dog with no symptoms. I just couldn't justify the cost. (Am I a terrible pet owner?)
Anyone ever seen this sort of thing?

Wall Coaster Extreme Stunt Set
Product is No Longer Available • 52483
5 years & up. The Extreme Stunt Set is simply amazing! It comes with many of the pieces of the Super Starter Set, plus, various trick parts that let you make the marble fly through the air, loop-de-loop, zig zag and twist in ways that you can only imagine!. Each part is made of lightweight ABS plastic and sticks to the wall with re-usable fun tack (the same material that sticks posters to walls). This allows the Wall Coaster to be used on almost any surface and the design can be changed many times by simply repositioning the parts with the same fun tack.

GLORY 4 Grand Slam, December 2 In Tokyo + Press Conference Details
- Written by Rian Scalia
Today a big press conference took place in Tokyo to announce the GLORY 4 Grand Slam event which will take place at the Makuhari Messe on December 2. The Grand Slam features a 16 man, one night heavyweight tournament with a new tournament format.
Among fighters on hand were Remy Bonjasky, Peter Aerts, Semmy Schilt, Fabiano "Cyclone" Aoki, Koichi Pettas and Yoshihiro Sato. Bonjasky, Aerts and Schilt will all be fighting in the Grand Slam tournament. Fabiano Aoki and Koichi Pettas will be fighting at GLORY 2 Brussels on October 6 in and Yoshihiro Sato will be fighting at GLORY 3 Rome on November 3. Also on hand were some of the men behind GLORY, Pierre Andurand, Marcus Luer and Bas Boon.
The Grand Slam tournament format pits the round of 16, quarter finals and semi finals as three rounds of two minutes each, with an extension round if needed and if one fighter wins the opening two rounds then he'll automatically win the fight and move on to the next round. The final is the standard three rounds by three minutes with an extension round if needed.
Notes from the press conference:
- As you can see in the picture, Musashi was also on hand. He'll be part of GLORY's Japanese commentary team.
- Rino Sashihara of the Japanese idol group HKT48 was on hand and on stage promoting the event.
- GLORY will hold 14 events next year, Road to Glory events not included.
- GLORY will also hold a Grand Slam tournament for 70kg in the future.
- In addition, next year GLORY will be expanding their weight classes to 65kg, 70kg, 77kg, 85kg, 95kg and Super Heavyweight where there will be "Slam" tournaments of the standard one night, eight man tournament much like what is happening with GLORY 3 Rome on November 3.
- "Road to GLORY" events will start up next year and act as local events to develop local talent in regions (Japan and United States were mentioned).
- Tokyo will host three GLORY events next year, not including Road to GLORY events.
- The promoters of domestic Japanese kickboxing promotions Krush, RISE, REBELS and NJKF were all in attendance at the press conference and will keep a good relationship with GLORY and assist them in finding fighters. It's already started with Krush and RISE getting fighters recommended to them by GLORY for their events (Hamza Soesie for Krush and Javier Hernandez for RISE).
- GLORY will continue to expand and open more training centers around the world.
- GLORY Rankings will start up next year and will be calculated by results of fights.

As the New Year approaches, our thoughts often turn to letting go of the old, making new plans, and forming New Year's resolutions. The New Year is our chance to reinvent ourselves, to take stock of what we have experienced over the past year and what we hope to welcome in as the seasons turn. Katalin Koda, author of Sacred Path of Reiki, discusses how we can remain balanced and positive in these times of chaos.

Central America Floods: UN launches US$15.7m appeal for El Salvador
The UN has called for US $15.7 million to help 300,000 El Salvadorians deal with catastrophic flooding over the next six months.
The government has described the floods as the worst disaster in the country's history, as hundreds of thousands of people struggle to cope with record-breaking rainfall, and severe damage to the country's agriculture and infrastructure.
"We are talking about a catastrophe," says Roberto Valent, UN Resident Coordinator in El Salvador.
"Today more than ever, El Salvador needs the support of the international community - to save lives and keep it on the path to sustainable development."
The appeal comes as countries across the region – including Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua - remain on top alert, due to intense and persistent rains since early October.
In El Salvador, 20,000 homes have been flooded, and 56,000 people have been evacuated to safe shelters – thanks to effective planning before the crisis.
"I live in the community of Santa Eduvigis. Along with my neighbors, we evacuated people who inhabited the lower lying parts to safer places," explains Mary, who has been housed in emergency shelter since the beginning of the emergency.
"When the landslides began, we had already evacuated the entire community. Three people were trapped in a destroyed house, and together we were able to help rescue them. On Tuesday (October 18) we arrived at the collective center in the Adolfo Pineda gym - in Santa Tecla. We immediately organized ourselves and the women took charge of the kitchen for several days."
There has also been an increase in cases of diarrhea, conjunctivitis, chicken pox, and dengue; and three cases of H1N1 have been reported. Health centers are struggling to cope, and the Sonsonate hospital - used for regional referrals - is working at only 30 per cent capacity.
The aid effort in El Salvador is further complicated by blocked roads, and authorities are actively monitoring the country's two principal volcanoes, due to possible mudslides and seismic movements in populated areas - including the capital.

Yup thats right about the airborne. In the end I think something like 80% of ALL servicemen would have been sent to Japan.
After reading Downfall, you can't blame Truman for dropping the bomb. The number of dead if the invasion occurred was staggering, in the millions on both sides.
WWII magazine did a cover story several years ago about the invasion of Japan.
On a brief almost-week vacation, I had a chance to read a few...
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull by James Rollins. Pretty good, although I felt like Indy was being characterized more like Han Solo (yes, I know Ford played them both, but there is a difference between their traits and habits), down to some lines (calling women "sister" ). It included some scenes cut/dismissed from the film (I knew this from reading the Making of IJ book). I liked it.
The Mind at Work by Mike Rose. I bought this for a buck, and I am not sure if I was cheated or not. I thought a research-based book about how manual labor jobs are underappreciated or dismissed. It was fairly simplistic and not as personal as it started out to be. Sadly, some of the quotes or endnotes were the most interesting parts.
Coruscant Nights I:Jedi Twilight by Michael Reaves. I'll wait on commenting (see the seperate thread here) on this one for a while.
A friend loaned me his copy of Light Over the Mountain: A History of the Rancho Cucamonga Area to read, a local history review of my home base. For most of you, it'd probably have no impact, except to confirm that "Rancho Cucamonga" is in fact a real place. :D :localsonly:
Any mention of chimpanzees on the loose in that book? ;)
Moe used to reside in my county....
Still on I, Jedi....idk why but it's taking me way too long to finish this one :-\
Finished the Jack Higgins novel. I thought the ending was a little too similar to a previous book. But still enjoyed it.
Finished a short Bill Cosby compilation of essays and short stories called Cosbyology. I like his style; he's my favorite comedian of all time, and he's as good a story teller as joke teller.
Interesting detail; so far, of the eigth books I've read so far this summer (average about 250 pages per book) have been written by author last names with only three letters of the alphabet: C, R, or W. :confused:
Finished reading Codename Downfall. The number of kia and wounded predicted are mind blowing. I'm back to reading 1421: The Year China Discovered America. Hopefully I'll actually finish the darn thing.

Jade Buddha Temple
In the western part of Shanghai, there is a venerable and famous Buddhist temple, Jade Buddha Temple. In 1882, an old temple was built to keep two jade Buddha statues which had been brought from Burma by a monk named Huigen. The temple was destroyed during the revolution that overthrew the Qing Dynasty. Fortunately the jade Buddha statues were saved and a new temple was built on the present site in 1928. It was named the Jade Buddha Temple.

By Blake Long/Special to the Journal
WATER VALLEY – One of Roy Hazzle's goals over his 26 years of coaching has been to never lose to the same team twice in a season.
After losing the lone regular season meeting with Mooreville in overtime, the Aberdeen Bulldogs did not disappoint their coach in the Division 2-3A Tournament championship game.
Aberdeen's 63-48 victory on Friday gave Hazzle the 15th division crown of his illustrious career.
"I wouldn't really say it's revenge, we just wanted it," Hazzle said. "Defend and rebound was our way to approach this game."
Aberdeen (21-7) did just that by holding the Troopers' sharp-shooting guards without a made 3-pointer the entire contest.
"They didn't give us a shot to look at one," Mooreville coach Jeff Tally said. "They played good defense and we just didn't respond very well."
Eleven players brought in a rebound and nine scored for the Bulldogs, the Journal's 7th-ranked team. Aberdeen's bench, led by Marcus Carothers and Ken McCoy, outscored its starting five.
The Bulldogs and Troopers exchanged the lead six times in the first half. Aberdeen edged ahead in the third, but No. 2 Mooreville looked primed for a comeback after an Austin Timms slam dunk.
But Rico Houghton and Nick Sims responded with 3-pointers in the last minute of the quarter to effectively end the Troopers (26-4) threat.
Houghton was the only double-digit scorer for Aberdeen with 16, while Austin Timms scored 14 for Mooreville.
(G) South Pontotoc 42, Mooreville 37: Smart defense helped the Lady Cougars (21-10) hold top-seeded Mooreville scoreless for over ten minutes and without a field goal for 13 minutes in the first half.
South Pontotoc scored 16 unanswered points in that stretch. Freshman Maddison Crudup led the Lady Cougars with 15 points and CC Costilow added 14.
"I've got a bunch of 4.0 grade averages on my team," said South Pontotoc coach Matt Waldrop. "They understand what I'm trying to get across to them, day in and day out."

You can download the full report here. Here are some interesting extracts:
- "whilst cycling continues to increase across Darlington and at high levels through the town centre, no personal injury accidents have been recorded by the Police and incidents reported to the Transport Policy team do not show any collisions between a cyclist and a pedestrian."
- During this period, there have been three collisions between pedestrians and cars (two taxis and a private car) in the Pedestrian Heart. The private car failed to stop. The manner of the reporting suggests that the pedestrians were at least partly to blame. All injuries were described as slight.
- The only cyclist/car accident reported was not strictly within the Pedestrian Heart. A car decided to do a U-turn at the Stonebridge/Tubwell Row/Crown St mini-rdbt. A cyclist attempted to avoid a collision, contact was minor, but as a result he collided with a kerb and then a wall. This was rated as a serious injury. There is no comment as to prosecution or outcome of injury.
- There has been only one 'reported incident' in the year - by a cyclist, of cyclists: ".. two young cyclists overtook him at close proximity on Tubwell Row and then appeared to nearly collide with two pedestrians before performing a dangerous overtaking manoeuvre on a car."
A representative from the Campaign will be at the committee meeting today to argue that the monitoring process should now be terminated.

"La Huelga de 50,000 Trabajadores" ("Strike of 50,000 Workers"), designed by Alberto Beltrán in 1955, is among the prints and posters included in an exhibition of works from Mexico's foremost political printshop, El Taller de Gráfica Popular, on display at Firestone Library's Milberg Gallery through Sunday, Feb. 10.
At left: "50,000 cubiertos. Se reunieron en este opiparo banquete los distinguidos canes ..." ("50,000 meals. Distinguished dogs met at the sumptuous feast ..."), is the theme of a poster created by José Chávez Morado in 1939.
Founded in 1937, the workshop was a vibrant collective of established and emerging artists committed to the use of visual art in the service of social change.
Bottom left: "CTM 1957-1958. Mantener intangible el derecho de huelga" ("Conference of Mexican Workers 1952-1958. Maintain untouchable the right to strike"), is a poster created by Adolfo Mexiac in 1958. CTM is the Confederation of Mexican Workers (Confederación de Trabajadores de México), a large confederation of labor unions.

Library exhibition highlights Mexican political prints
Posted October 29, 2007; 11:58 a.m.
An exhibition of early prints and posters from Mexico's foremost political printshop, El Taller de Gráfica Popular (TGP), is on view in Firestone Library's Milberg Gallery through Sunday, Feb. 10.
Founded in 1937, the workshop was a vibrant collective of established and emerging artists committed to the direct use of visual art in the service of social change. Mexico has a long history of politically charged printmaking, largely credited to the work of José Guadalupe Posada, who was an artist and social critic during the 1910 Mexican Revolution. The exhibition begins with a group of booklets designed by Posada, representing the genesis of the modern Mexican print.
In the aftermath of the revolution, TGP was established by Leopoldo Méndez, Pablo O'Higgins and Luis Arenal, who worked with a small group of dedicated printmakers to serve Mexico's progressive movements. Each artist was required to pay a membership fee, participate in a weekly group critique and contribute 20 percent of his or her earnings to the workshop. They printed posters and other materials in support of unions and agricultural workers, endorsed national literacy programs and movements for social justice, and condemned fascism. In the tradition of Posada, they produced a constant stream of handbills and fliers using witty topical songs and satirical skeletons as caricatures of corrupt politicians and officials.
The Princeton University Library's Graphic Arts Collection acquired a small group of posters and fliers by the TGP. The opening of the library's exhibition of a selection of these works was marked by a lecture by Mexican novelist, poet and playwright Carmen Boullosa on Sunday, Oct. 7.
The exhibition is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and noon to 5 p.m. on weekends. Tours will be offered at 3 p.m. Sundays, Dec. 9 and Feb. 10.
Princeton's entire collection of prints from El Taller de Gráfica Popular has been digitized and can be viewed at diglib.princeton.edu.
The exhibition is sponsored by the Friends of the Princeton University Library and the Program in Latin American Studies.

It's Zam Wessel's Speeder versus Anakin Skywalker's in the final Preliminary Round of SSG's Battle of the Machines!
And it starts now!
Zam Wessel's flashy green and yellow speeder holds one action figure in its opening cockpit, and features a detailed interior with adjustable steering controls and foot pedals. But the craft's most ingenious play feature is its crash 'n bash action that lets you smash the front end of the speeder in, with engine panels flying off, simulating a crash just like in the movie! Each side operates independently, so you decide the amount of damage that is done during the dangerous work of that of a bounty hunter! At the press of a button, the vehicle repairs itself!
Anakin Skywalker can't be faulted for picking just as easily an impressive craft. His yellow, open-top sportster features a detailed interior that seats two Jedi on a mission! But Jedi missions are rather dangerous and this craft shows some indication of occupational hazards with its own crash 'n bash feature that lets you crumple in the front end, causing pieces of the bodywork to go flying in two directions! A touch of a button and your air speeder is almost restored "fully new" and you're ready to race and chase through Coruscant's skylanes again!
Which vehicle will win to go on to the Quarterfinal challenges to determine what Star Wars craft will be the Ultimate Best Hasbro Star Wars ship of all time?
You decide now!

Three important considerations emerge regarding the management of human milk in child care settings:
There is no current evidence of child care workers or others contracting a life-altering illness through exposure to human milk in child care centers. Child care workers follow guidelines published by the Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). OSHA's (29 CFR 1910.1030) Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogenslife,vi states, "Breast milk is not included in the standard's definition of "other potentially infectious materials"." Therefore, contact with breast milk does not constitute occupational exposure, as defined by the standard. This determination was based on the Centers for Disease Control's findings in Perspectives in Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Update: Universal Precautions for Prevention of Transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Hepatitis B Virus, and Other Bloodborne Pathogens in Health-Care Settings,vii that human breast milk has not been implicated in the transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or the hepatitis B virus (HBV) to workers although it has been implicated in perinatal transmission of HIV and the hepatitis surface antigen has been found in the milk of mothers infected with HBV. For this reason, gloves should be worn by health-care workers in situations where exposures to large volumes of breast milk might be frequent, for example, in milk banking."
The Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA) recently published Best Practice for Expressing, Storing and Handling Human Milk in Hospitals, Homes and Child Care Settings.life.viii These Best Practices state, "Gloves are not recommended for handling human milk except when large volumes are handled, such as during processing milk in a donor milk bank. Use of gloves does not replace the need for good hygiene. Change gloves if they touch contaminated surfaces, to avoid contamination of the milk." The rationale cited by HMBANA is "Occupational exposure to human milk has not been implicated in the transmission of HIV, hepatitis, or other viruses found in human milk. Universal precautions do not apply. Careful hand hygiene is still important." … "Gloves can give the wearer a false sense of security, which may increase the possibility of contamination of the milk. In situations where gloves are worn, hand hygiene is still important because the gloves can be contaminated by the wearer."
The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine's (ABM) Clinical Protocol #8: Human Milk Storage Information for Home Use for Full-Term Infantsix states: "Expressed human milk does not require special handling (such as universal precautions), as is required for other bodily fluids such as blood. It can be stored in a workplace refrigerator where other workers store food, although it should be labeled with name and date."
The guidelines published in the 2011 Caring for our children: National health and safety performance standards; Guidelines for early care and education programs, 3rd Edition.i "Although human milk is a body fluid, it is not necessary to wear gloves when feeding or handling human milk. Unless there is visible blood in the milk, the risk of exposure to infectious organisms either during feeding or from milk that the infant regurgitates is not significant."
Current policies and practices in hospitals require staff to maintain universal hand washing precautions – but do not require their staff to wear gloves every time they must feed an infant human milk or help the mother to breastfeed.x Despite the number of child care workers as well as the decades of experience with human milk handling in hospitals and human milk banks (1,000 ounces per day), human milk has never been implicated in the occupational transmission of HIV or HBV infection. When gloves are used in human milk banks, the rationale is not due to protection of the workers handling the milk but rather to protect the milk from contamination.life.xi Current recommendations are for health care workers to advise mother's infected with HIV disease not to breastfeed. The possibility of transmission of HIV from mother's breast milk in a childcare facility is low.life.xii
There is a risk of unintended consequences should further restrictions that lack an evidence base, be implemented. If child care workers were erroneously trained on addressing breast milk with all the elements required by the OSHA blood borne pathogens standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), a series of unintended consequences could occur:
Unless clear evidence demonstrates the need to change current practices, it is important to avoid the development of new guidelines that might discourage child care agencies from supporting breastfeeding mothers or create fear of caring for breastfeeding infants.
Science has not substantiated that exposure to human milk is a danger to child care workers, and the use of gloves when feeding breast milk is not supported by current research. Therefore, based on the references reviewed and cited above, adherence to the following recommendations provides protection for both the infant and care giver when handling human milk:

I know making particle effects are pretty straightforward but I was wondering If there was a way to not only render but also simulate particles on the GPU. Seeing as the particles don't affect gameplay whatsoever I assumed this was possible. I expected that I could make an emitter object on the CPU side and the GPU would take over the rest after being fed the position of the emitter. Could anyone possibly point me in the right direction for how to have the GPU actually create polygons without having them fed from the cpu?

Article: Working behind a misconfigured firewall
Item posted by Mathieu Roy <yeupou> on Mon Mar 15 15:48:14 2004.
Some sysadmins, by mistake, tend to think that blocking outbound ports is an interesting security measure. It is not a security measure, it's a political one. Solving the political problem can be very important. And on the average, counterfeiting stupid firewalls with odd usages of the Internet has never been rewarding, on the contrary.
However, we would not like to put Free Software developers in a dead-end because of this issue.
We do allow SSH access on the port 443, usually dedicated to https, on cvs.gna.org, download.gna.org and arch.gna.org.
We may at a later point remove that possibility, if we need to. This is not a good way to go, it must be considered as a temporary solution, a dirty workaround. The way to go is clearly to solve the political problem.
The way to go is definitely to get the firewall configured properly. Sysadmin are supposed to be here to help you to get things done, not the contrary.

[Note: A transcript of this meeting is unavailable. The discussion is summarized below.]
The meeting featured a report on Burundi by Ambassador Howard Wolpe, Presidential Special Envoy to the Great Lakes Region; and presentations on aid to and trade with the Democratic Republic of Congo by Nils Tcheyan, Country Director at The World Bank; Alfreda Brewer, DRC Desk Officer at USAID; and Elisabeth Tsehai, Coordinator of the Corporate Council on Africa's Congo Working Group.
One of the key questions to resolve before the peace talks resume in Arusha on 15 June is "Who is taking part, and who is not?" The talks have been billed as "all-party talks" and are important for three reasons:
- It is the first time that all parties to the conflict, including the extremists, have attempted to mediate a settlement together. Agreements reached during this round are more likely to be complied with because all parties will be involved in the decision-making and drafting processes.
- Authorities are trying to enact a package of power-sharing reforms before the current parliament's term ends at the end of June.
- Former Tanzanian President Nyerere has stated that if the process is launched, and if all parties attend, this could be seen as a promising precondition to the lifting of the current economic sanctions imposed on Burundi by the regional governments. Tanzania is well known to be the initiator and strongest supporter of these sanctions.
The "internal process" launched by President Buyoya includes new provisions for power-sharing between the government and the National Assembly, and this initiative has provoked reactionary and sometimes confusing statements. CNDD suspended its leader, Nyangoma, and criticized the government's plan as being a dishonest one - one intended to avoid the external mediation process under the leadership of President Nyerere. The interior FRODEBU opposition has overtly expressed support for and interest in the internal partnership, while the exiled FRODEBU faction in Dar es Salaam still refuses to recognize Buyoya as the official leader of the country. UPRONA is now staunchly divided between its non-parliamentary members, who oppose all mediations with opposition groups, and a faction led by former President Bagaza that opposes the internal power-sharing process but not the external one.
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
At the last Friends of Congo meeting in December 1997 in Brussels, donors agreed on several key points:
- Congo needs donor support. Donors believe that a positive message must be sent to the Congolese people.
- The dismal inheritance of the Kabila government is daunting. The government took over a failed state, and the institutional change process this necessitates is a very difficult endeavor.
- The effort to mobilize resources for DRC should be coordinated under the leadership of the Chair, Sweden. The proposed mechanism is a Trust Fund for Reconstruction, which has initial commitments of U.S. $32 million (this figure does not include direct bilateral assistance), and will target sectors such as transportation/roads, education, and health.
- Donors are aware that the current volume of multilateral aid is not what it could be or should be and acknowledged disappointment expressed by Congolese officials at this low level.
- The Trust Fund for Reconstruction is not tied to or conditional on International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreements with DRC, even with respect to the payment of debt arrears. However, this issue raises a broader topic of what DRC will need to accomplish in order to secure new IFI agreements. As with all African countries, IFI agreements ensure much larger aid packages and are made with a long-term vision for the country and not on the basis of the relationship with the current government. Current obstacles to IFI agreements with DRC include the clearance of debt arrears (and to make matters worse, payments were just drastically scaled-back by the DRC Central Bank) and the absence of a government initiative to move toward more liberal economic and social change.
The prospects for future aid to DRC are excellent, but the process is not quick or easy. One of the more promising aspects of aid to DRC is the catalytic effect that it will have on economic growth and capital formation. Donors recognize that prosperity and stability in DRC will greatly affect the region and the whole continent, and should move forward by incorporating flexibility with the current political realities.
USAID in DRC
In June of 1997, USAID conducted a three week analysis of DRC under the Kabila regime and decided to reengage after having left the country in 1994. Since mid-1997, USAID operations have been conducted out of three field offices located in Lubumbashi, Bukavu, and Kanaga. Each field office provides support to reconstruction and reconciliation activities in small communities, with the aim of alleviating bottlenecks between needs and lack of resources. The community-initiated process of identifying needs and proposing solutions has been an important result of this work.
A country representative arrived in mid-February 1998 to staff the Kinshasa office and coordinate the activities of the field offices. The total USAID budget for FY98 will be approximately $40 million, which includes a pledge of $10 million for the Trust Fund for Reconstruction. The country strategy for the next 2 to 3 years is to support projects in the areas of health, environment, private sector development, and democracy and governance.
Several congressional acts prohibit USAID from moving forward with direct bilateral assistance, although exceptions and waivers to these acts make the current and other proposed levels of support possible. The main congressional acts that hinder aid are:
- The Faircloth provision, which prohibits assistance to the central government of the DRC until the President submits a written report to Congress that the government of DRC is cooperating fully with U.N. investigators and accounting for human rights violations in or adjacent to DRC.
- The Brooke provision, which prohibits assistance to countries in arrears for a period of more than one year on foreign assistance loan repayments.
Corporate Council on Africa
The Corporate Council on Africa, a membership organization of private-sector, for-profit companies, has three working groups on Africa: Nigeria, Algiers, and DRC. The DRC working group undertook a trade mission in March 1998, where they were addressed by Kabila and a few of his top aides. The mission stressed that while investment will take place in DRC, a higher quantity and more solid investment will occur if increased political security and adherence to rule of law effectively lower investors' risk.
The working group noted that there is a lack of clarity with respect to contractual agreements, their enforcement, and fiscal corruption. On a negative note, Kabila suspended two national trade associations in late April.

I really like it. It is not too small and not too big. It fits into my laptop bag for traveling etc.
I haven't ever used any other, so I can't compare but this size has worked great.

I've decided I'm going to ensure I remain my niece's favorite aunt and give her my small Wacom tablet. She uses it soooo often. Now, I'm still going to be selfish and get myself a new one! Hence my question: Which size is best and why? I only have experience with the small one. Does anyone have the larger one? What are the advantages/disadvantages from a digital scrapbooker point of view? Your advice and comments are appreciated! I took Katherine's class (great class by-the-way), but hadn't thought of my question until now. I've also watched the tutorials on Wacom's website, but would rather hear a fellow digital scrapper's point-of-view! Thanks!
I've always used the small size, mainly because I don't have room on my desk for anything larger. But I have to say, it's always been sufficient to me. I guess it really depends on 2 factors: 1) which size feels most comfortable for you, and 2) how much desk space you have......

Transform your Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to get a credible picture of risk, create accurate predictive models, search for the best solution and maximise appreciation of the risks that you are facing. From Monte Carlo simulation to forecasting and optimisation, Crystal Ball software tools deliver. Crystal Ball is the industry-standard for oil, gas and mining company executives to analyse the uncertainties in their spreadsheet models.
The rapidly fluctuating price of minerals, increasing competition and volatile financial markets have placed the mining industry in a position of ever-increasing risk.
Crystal Ball is the easiest way to perform fast risk analysis and optimisation in your own spreadsheets. With one integrated toolset, you can use your own historical data to build accurate models, automate "what if" analysis to understand the effect of underlying uncertainty and search for the best solution or project mix.
Oracle Crystal Ball is the leading spreadsheet-based application for predictive modeling, forecasting, simulation, and optimization. It gives you unparalleled insight into the critical factors affecting risk. With Crystal Ball, you can make the right tactical decisions to reach your objectives and gain a competitive edge under even the most uncertain market conditions.
Correlating assumptions is enhanced with the following features:
The Define Correlations command is now available through the Crystal Ball ribbon (Microsoft Excel 2007 or later) or menu (Microsoft Excel 2003).
Smart Selection algorithms make it easier to define a correlation matrix by selecting one or a few more cells.
Matrix view supports consistency checks with adjustment capability plus the ability to switch between adjusted and unadjusted matrix views.
Matrix view includes an optional interactive correlation chart.
Scatter charts can be easily generated for correlation pairs within a matrix.
The Crystal Ball Developer Kit has new calls and constants to support these features.
The following distributions have increased parameter limits as noted:
Beta distribution, limit of Shape parameters and their sum = 1e5
Binomial distribution, Trials parameter limit = 1e6
Gamma distribution, Shape parameter limit = 1e6
Hypergeometric distribution, Population parameter limit = 1e5
Negative binomial distribution, Shape parameter limit = 1e6
Pareto distribution, Shape parameter limit = 1e6
Weibull distribution, Shape parameter limit= 1e6
The OptQuest feature of Crystal Ball Decision Optimizer can now handle single constraint formulas that define multiple constraints. Users can enter formulas with arrays of values instead of separate formulas, for example "A1:A5 <= B1:B".
What is the likelihood of reaching a particular goal? What are the critical factors affecting risk? The answer to these and other common "what-if" scenarios can be determined by assigning probability to unknown variables. Excel can't handle the complexity of probability analysis, so you need a better tool: Crystal Ball.
Crystal Ball automates the cumbersome "what-if" process using Monte Carlo simulation, by applying a range of values or a probability distribution to each uncertain variable.
The program generates random values from within the defined probability ranges, and then recalculates the model literally hundreds or thousands of times, storing the results of each "what-if" scenario. This timesaving process alleviates having to manually enter different scenarios over and over again.
Monte Carlo Simulation
Calculates multiple scenarios of a spreadsheet model automatically. Frees users from the constraints of estimates and best-guess values.
Distribution Gallery
Provides an intuitive interface for selecting model input variables; includes 16 discrete and continuous distributions plus custom distribution. Simplifies the quantifying of risk, means you don't have to enter the distribution formula into Excel.
Categories of Distributions
Create predefined distributions, modify your existing distributions and organize them using custom categories. Create your own library of distributions, organized in categories. Re-use distributions from one project to the next.
Publish and Subscribe Feature for Categories
Publish categories and share with many users. Work as a team sharing models and data to get your work done faster.
Process Capability Features
Define spec limits (LSL, USL and Target) in your forecasts, calculate capability metrics and view simulation results and metrics together in one split-view chart. With capability metrics in Crystal Ball you simplify your workflow and better integrate simulation into your Six Sigma and Quality methodology.
Forecast Charts
Graphically display simulation results and statistics. Allows users to track and analyze thousands of possible outcomes; charts are interactive.
Split-View charts
View forecast charts, descriptive statistics and capability metrics side-by-side on the same chart. Enable up to 6 charts and tables in one view. One chart tells the whole story.
Sensitivity and Tornado Analyses
Two separate methods for identifying the most critical model input variables. Enable users to focus on high-risk model input variables.
Distribution Fitting
Uses historical data for defining assumptions. Can fit to continuous and discrete distributions. Allows users to customize model input variables based on real-world results.
Models dependencies between uncertain input variables. Provides more accurate modeling and forecasting.
Charting and Reporting
Automates report generation, includes the ability to overlay forecasts and to project trends through time. Creates clear analysis and presentation of all forecasts, improves communication with colleagues, management, and clients.
Precision Control
Provides advanced simulation capabilities. Increases simulation accuracy and flexibility; saves time.
Latin Hypercube Sampling
Alternative simulation method to Monte Carlo. Samples regularly across distribution, excellent for simulations with restriction on number of trials.
Data extraction

CB Tools
Macro-driven tools that use Crystal Ball; Includes scenario analysis, decision table, data analysis, tornado chart, correlation matrices, 2D-simulation, batch fit, and boot strap. Automates modeling processes with effortless and powerful tools.
CB Predictor
CB Predictor uses established forecasting methods to help identify and extrapolate the trends in your historical data. CB Predictor analyzes your data and produces insightful and accurate forecasts.
Crystal Ball and CB Predictor Developer Kits
The Crystal Ball and CB Predictor Developer Kits bring complete automation and control to these tools from within a Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) program or any other language outside of Excel that supports OLE 2 automation.
Microsoft Certification
Certified Excel macro provider. Eliminates security concerns.
There are many industries that use Crystal Ball software. Crystal Ball is the tool chosen by more than 85% of the Fortune 500 companies. Like in the United States, Crystal Ball is the most popular choice in Australia and New Zealand to help improve spreadsheet modelling and risk analysis.
Oil & Gas exploration deals with many unknowns, with high risk and uncertainty an inherent part of the oil and gas industry. The management of risk in oil and gas exploration has always been difficult.
Six Sigma is a set of practices originally developed by Motorola to systematically improve processes by eliminating defects. Motorola uses Crystal Ball in its Six Sigma Program.
Crystal Ball is for anyone who uses spreadsheets and needs to forecast uncertain results. Environmental geologists, cost engineers, environmental scientists, hydrogeologists and project managers all rely on Crystal Ball.
To ignore the effects of uncertainty in your financial and business analyses means to potentially expose your organisation to unnecessary risk and potential failure.
The Freeze command lets you see the that effect certain cells have on the model while holding other assumptions to their spreadsheet values.
This edition focuses on the CB.GetForePercent Crystal Ball function. Instead of having to go to the Forecast Chart, you can now view the corresponding forecast value directly on the spreadsheet.

We arrived around 10:15 and quickly grabbed a city map and sought out the Urquell Brewery with the aim of joining the 10:45am English language tour.
After turning the map several times we decided we had a rough idea where we had to go and made it to the brewery about 10 minutes before the tour and purchased our tickets and waited for it to begin.
Compared to the Budvar tour, the Urquell tour had all the hallmarks of a global beer company (SAB Miller) - flashy video presentations, massive scale and a big bus to transport everyone around the facility to do the tour (Budvar was all on foot)
Our guide was great and explained the ins and outs of the brewery, it's history and current operations. The main downside was the size of the group with about 50 people, most who didn't seem in any way interested in what the guide had to say and chatted amongst themselves but each to their own I guess.
We saw the production line and then ventured into the labyrinth of cellars before finally reaching the ultimate goal of a sample of the good stuff from one of the maturation casks.
The benefit of sitting at the front of the class was realised here as we were both able to grab our tasting cup from the tray holding the big plastic cups.
Let that be a lesson to the kids out there. Pay attention in school and you too may very well get to drink from the large cup of beer whilst those who don't show interest have to make do with the thimble-sized vessels! :)
We completed the tour and proceeded to Pilsen's centre square for a quick walk around and happy snaps before grabbing some lunch and catching another train on to Prague
To say it was a sh#t fight to get a seat would be an understatement. It seems everyone in Pilsen was wanting to get to Prague on the 14:08 train and the main issue was finding a cabin not only with free seats but space to store our backpacks.
We did a few laps of the carriages before doubling back and find an 8 seater berth with only 4 people and even more importantly, free space on the luggage storage shelves.
We took our seats and as we progressed more and more people boarded until we had 8 people crammed in to a space that should not hold 8 people. We made do given it was only a 2 hour train ride and finally arrived in Prague.
We headed in the general direction of the apartment and finally found it even though it wasn't sign posted. We waited for a few minutes before some guy who didn't speak English opened the door and told us to follow him.
We climbed several flights of stairs before arriving at our apartment, filled out some paperwork and paid the rent before he disappeared out the door
The location is excellent being only 2 minutes from the Charles Bridge and the hustle and bustle of the old town right outside the front door.
Once we settled in we went to the local Tesco to grab some supplies before returning to have a quiet night in before we venture forth to explore Prague for three days from tomorrow.
So far, I'm getting a great vibe from this place.

Currently waxing philosophical over P2P as an application framework, not just yet another application.
In a nutshell, peer to peer applications would be built against a framework supporting plug-ins for arbitrary network transport schemes, authentication and signing schemes, and peer discovery schemes.
With this arrangement, it would be possible to configure the components in an arbitrary fashion in order to use the same software to accomplish many different goals:
- Files could be shared gnutella-style with a high degree of trust that you'll get good content back.
- The framework could be used to facilitate for-payment object sharing with a third party authenticating users based on payment.
- The framework could be used to accelerate file exchanges with Bit Torrent-like caching.
- The framework could be used to simply share bookmark lists with people on your ICQ contact list and people on your friends' contact lists.
- It would even be possible to plug an Advogato-like trust system in and apply it against a browsable file server.

Thread: Hypothetical Question
Could you.... Yes
Should you.... No
I can go to a fast food restaurant and for the next 2 or 3 years eat nothing but greasy burgers and frys morning noon and night. I would still look and act healthy, right up until the time I developed health problems from improper diet.
An argument can be made that my analogy might be a little on the dramatic side, but my point remains the same.
You can be lucky for quite some time, but at some point you will have to pay the piperIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.
"Not using a quarantine tank is like playing Russian roulette. Nobody wins the game, some people just get to play longer than others." - Anthony Calfo
Fishless Cycle Cycling with Fish Marine Aquarium Info [URL="http://saltwater.aquaticcommunity.com/"]
0My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.
I am going with yes. The system would have to remain absolutely closed and tightly contained. There could be no intervention. You could not add anything into the system nor take anything out. Evaporation could not be allowed to occur. Within this system all things would eventually find balance, could this system satisfy visually our expectations of a successful keeping of an aquarium ? Possibly not. Could this system find it's own balance and find a way to sustain itself on those items closed within itself, yes. Even through what might be perceived as a crash or a catastrophe we would have to have patience and let the system show us it's next phase. Even if it consumed all of it's vital elements and placed them into vegetation or into substrate we would have to see what the cycle shows us and be patient towards how the system would balance. Our natural world has many habitats that we would consider to completely crash each year in a seasonal shift. These places look so remote or so far gone that they magically transform back into bloom.
A better question might be: Could we be patient enough to allow for the existence of a closed system?
I would maintain that for the benefit of the floura and fauna of the tank that you continue waterchanges if you are an aquarist. We could swim in a pool filled with urine, and some would evaporate, if we topped it off with urine it would become more condensed and so on and so forth. Same with the fishes excrements. Even with propper planting, not everything is churned over. There are discus tanks that do 1 a month of 25% who maintain reffugiums to remove nitrates. Such tanks can be sustained but even by said owners it doesnt allow for "optimal" conditions.
You could go years without changing the water in your tanks and continuously add the topoff amnt. Without actual maintenence, you will find less than optimal conditions on a depleting scale.
Impossible without an algae scrubber - the nitrates will build up and become toxic; it would take a high ratio of plants to fish to allow 'a closed system' to work. Minerals as some have pointed out would need to be added.Knowledge is fun(damental)
A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.

1. What is the purpose of a mechanical filter in a closed system?
2. Are you assuming no addition of elements to the system (including oxygen, carbon)?
3. Are you assuming no energy transfer (e.g. from heat dissipation, heat absorbed through the electrically powered mechanical filter)?
4. Related to #2, you would have to assume a natural food chain is established in that closed ecosystem such that the fish will find the food they need within the system, otherwise you're adding elements (nitrogen, carbon, etc) to your system and it, thus, cannot be considered a closed system. It would be a system of increasing nitrogen and carbon source, in whatever elemental form they may be. In that case, the question is non-sequitur.
I speculate that an equilibrium will be established eventually in a perfectly closed system. That equilibrium, however, will very likely not contain live fish as we know it. As the dead fish decompose and become part of the nitrogen and carbon cycle, I'm sure a new balance of much smaller and/or simpler life forms (like single celled organisms) will emerge.
nature itself does provide an answer with dams that only get rain water to replenish the water, so why not something smaller enough. A better question is how much money would such a system cost to build, would it run of electricity and how much would you are you willing to spend on construction. My answer is yes. Properly researched and built with only rain water to top up the tank and if you had a big enough piece of land to do it. Science and technology is already years ahead of what we can comprehend all ready, we have more information at our fingertips than our parents.
just look at our hobby itself how far it has progressed in a hundred yearswe are all on a journey.
Apparently there is nothing that cannot happen today.

It's back! Yuengling's Ice Cream set to return to store shelves
WALKER TWP., Pa. - An iconic Pennsylvania product is making a return to store shelves.
Yuengling's Ice Cream is back in business after a nearly 30-year hiatus. The first batch of the storied ice cream came off the production line Thursday inside Leiby's Dairy in Walker Twp., Schuylkill Co., near Tamaqua.
"It's good to see the family name and the quality we always had come back into the ice cream and have such a good response," said David Yuengling, president of Yuengling's Ice Cream.
Yuengling took a step away from corporate America to get back to his family's roots.
"We're keeping with the quality that people remember from the past, the high quality ice cream," said Yuengling.
Production was originally set to begin in March. The company pushed up the date by two months after receiving such an enthusiastic response to the September announcement of the ice cream's return.
"It's been overwhelming! I actually got a call from a gentleman in Alaska who wanted me to ship him ice cream," Yuengling said.
The initial run will consist of 100,000 quarts in 10 flavors: chocolate, vanilla, Black and Tan (chocolate and caramel), chocolate chip, vanilla fudge chunk with pretzels, espresso chocolate chip, chocolate fudge brownie, chocolate marshmallow, root beer float and mint chocolate chip.
"This is the culmination of actually seeing our product go from idea to formulation, and not to it actually coming off the assembly line," said Rob Bohorad, the company's chief operating officer.
Yuengling's Ice Cream dates back to the 1920s. It was started during Prohibition and helped supplement the Yuengling Brewery in Pottsville to keep business afloat. Today, they're not affiliated.
"They split off as two separate companies in 1935. My grandfather took over the ice cream side of the business and my great-grandfather continued to run the brewery" said Yuengling.
The ice cream will initially be sold at Acme, Weis and independent grocery stores starting mid-February in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York and West Virginia. Other stores are also expected to add the Yuengling brand to their ice cream freezers.
A quart is expected to cost between $5.49 and $5.99.Images: Yuengling's Ice Cream rolls off production line

Urban planning in Los Angeles is topic, March 29
Posted March 21, 2007; 05:27 p.m.
University Trustee José Huizar, a member of the Los Angeles City Council, will speak on the city's planning initiatives at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, March 29, in 16 Robertson Hall.
"Planning in Los Angeles: Building Schools, Constructing Housing and Revitalizing the L.A. River" is the title of the talk by Huizar, who earned his master's in public affairs and urban and regional planning from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in 1994.
Huizar was elected to the Los Angeles City Council in November 2005 after serving two terms as president of the board of education for the Los Angeles Unified School District. During his tenure, he oversaw plans to build more than 160 new schools within eight years, the largest school construction program in the nation's history.
Huizar, an attorney, also has worked for several private law firms and the Los Angeles city attorney's office and has been a member of the East Los Angeles Planning Commission.
The lecture is sponsored by the Wilson School and the Office of Graduate Career Services.

Saving the Bay through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration.
This satellite image, shot in the spring of 1987, shows agricultural fields in light tan, woodlands in dark green, wetlands in red-brown, and urbanized areas (appropriately) in steel-blue. Ask yourself how much of this land is in the same state it was four hundred years ago. The answer is: not much. Water runs off cleared land very differently from the way it does off old-growth woodland. We have essentially changed the Bay watershed "from filter to funnel" (note the heavy runoff of silt in the lower western shore rivers, coming from previous rains in the Virginia Piedmont region). Much of CBF's work is focused on restoring the watershed's natural water treatment systems, like wetlands, and in helping farmers find ways to reduce nitrogen pollution from agricultural lands.
You will begin to receive Bay updates from CBF soon.

Green Carpet Anemone information needed
I have a green carpet anemone and I was just wondering is it okay to feed my anemone guppies. I was also wondering is it okay if I buy a lot of guppies from my pet store and put them in the freezer and every now and then take one guppie out of the freezer let it defrost and feed it to my anemone. Something I have notice is every now and then my anemone swell up in one spot , is this normal for a carpet anemone. if not what can I do to fix this problem. Oh by the way all of my water parameters are okay.
No that is not a good idea. Fresh water based meaty foods do not provide the same nutrients as marine based meaty foods so your anemone would not get much in the way of usable nutrients. Buy some raw (uncooked) shrimp from the store and feed your anemone small pcs of that. That would be a lot easier, especially since your anemone should only be fed once a week (max) even if you choose to feed him at all. Feeding your anemone fish you get from the LFS can also be risky as you have to keep in mind that you would have to QT these guppys to ensure they do not have any bacterial infections. Not all bacteria in FW can survive in SW, however, anemones can be very prone to bacterial infections and it can be very difficult to treat a anemone for any type of infection. Not worth the risk IMO. The below two links can provide you with some more info if you would like

2008 Kotaku: Reinventing a World
Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | @ 05:21 PM MDT | By Kodo
The newest web preview of GTA IV comes from Kotaku, entailing new details on some missions and smaller scale tweaks that will revolutionize the sandbox standard. The two missions they describe have already been covered, but it's worth reading through again to catch some details. One of the things that got me most excited for GTA IV was the details on the reworked shooting system. I'm ready to play with free firing, improved aiming, and stick-to-cover!
Jeronimo Barrera, Rockstar Games VP of Product Development, speaks of starting from scratch and building the GTA world better than before.
Grand Theft Auto IV is the biggest leap forward in experiential sandbox gaming to ever come to the franchise, larger even than the one that brought the once 2D top-down series into the third dimension.
"In many ways it's a bigger leap going from San Andreas to GTA IV than it was going from 2D to 3D," Barrera says.
Here are some other tidbits Asif has pulled out of the article:
