The Multi-Generator (MGEN) is open source software developed by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) PROTocol Engineering Advanced Networking (PROTEAN) Research Group. MGEN provides the ability to perform IP network performance tests and measurements using TCP and UDP/IP traffic.
The toolset generates real-time traffic patterns so that the network can be loaded in a variety of ways. The generated traffic can also be received and logged for analysis. Script files are used to drive the generated loading patterns over the course of time. These script files can be used to emulate the traffic patterns of unicast and/or multicast UDP and TCP IP applications. The receive portion of this tool set can be scripted to dynamically join and leave IP multicast groups and listen for traffic. MGEN log data can be used to calculate performance statistics on throughput, packet loss rates, communication delay, and more through TRPR or other tools. MGEN currently runs on various Unix-based (including MacOS X) and Win 32 platforms.
MGEN can also be used in network simulation environments like ns-2 and Opnet. For ns-2, an MGEN Agent is available that can operate within the simulation environment. MGEN commands may be passed to the ns-2 MGEN agent in ns-2 TCL scripts as with other ns-2 agents.
MGEN Version 5.0
This is the latest version of the MGEN toolset. This version supports TCP messaging, IPv6 networking, and provides support for Win32 platforms in addition to a broad base of Unix-based platforms. This version features a more modular code architecture than previous versions. Support for additional statistical traffic generation patterns (JITTER and CLONE), transport buffering, message count, and payload enhancements have been been added in addition to other features documented in the release notes. At this point in time, MGEN 5.x encompasses the feature set of MGEN 4.x. MGEN 5.x can also be embedded in a RAPR (real-time application representative) application.
MGEN 5.x Downloads
MGEN 5.x source and binary distributions are available for download at:
The trpr (Trace Plot Real Time) analysis program and gpsLogger Global Positioning System (GPS) utilities are available at the Protean Tools webpage. The gpsLogger utility allows MGEN to report GPS host position information in the test message payload. This can be useful for mobile network testing and evaluation.
MGEN 5.x Documentation
An on-line MGEN User's and Reference Guide is available. It is also included in the binary and source downloads.
MGEN 5.x Installation
In some cases, prebuilt binary distributions are available. However, the mgen application can be easily built on most Unix-based platforms and Win32 platforms. The MGEN source code is also available for checkout from a downloads directory at https://downloads.pf.itd.nrl.navy.mil/mgen/. See the instructions there for further details. Note that the NRL Protolib source code distribution is required and is also available at our downloads site.
The mgen program can be built with gcc on most Unix platforms.
- Download and unpack the MGEN source code distribution. Place the unpacked Protolib source directory in the new MGEN directory.
cd mgen/makefiles
- Select the appropriate Makefile.{os} for your operating system and type "
make –f Makefile.{os} mgen" to build.
A Visual C++ workspace and project is provided to build the mgen tool. Note that the Microsoft Platform SDK may be required to build mgen with some of its more advanced networking features such as IPv6 support.
- Download and unpack the MGEN source code distribution.
cd mgen/makefiles/win32
- Open the Visual C++ mgen{VSVersion}.sln file appropriate to your Visual Studio version, e.g.
- Type F7 to build the mgen.exe program. (The executable will be found in the directory "mgen/win32/Release" or "mgen/win32/Debug" depending upon which configuration is selected).
Older Versions
Previous versions (MGEN 4.x and MGEN 3.x) are no longer updated or supported, but are still available for download.
MGEN 4.2 supports UDP messaging only, IPv6 networking, and provides support for Win32 platforms in addition to a broad base of Unix-based platforms. MGEN 4.2 uses the same UDP packets at 5.x, but is not fully compatible with respect to logfiles, script commands, etc.
MGEN 3.3 builds and runs on various Unix-based platforms. It has optional support for operation with ISI's rsvpd. Note that 3.x is not interoperable with the later versions. At present, only MGEN 3.x has a graphical user interface.

Just a quick report from SW Colorado.
Jonny Allen on Cinnamon Pass.
Usually we wait until they plow the road in the spring to kite this spot on the continental divide. With low snow in this part of the state we just towed up there with the snowmachine. We've had some decent days on McMillan and Molas too.
What's the word from other parts of the state? Creede? Grand Mesa? Front Range?

The issues and ideas that I was looking to explore were fear, anxiety, loneliness and the continuum of survival against the flow of uncertainty which we face on a daily basis. The swimmer by Jan Senburg inspired me to explore the idea of water and our dependence on the natural elements – fire, earth and water – in life. Film, being a time-based medium, gave me the opportunity to consider more elements such as sound, movement, time passing and the different tensions connected to 'the flow' of daily existence. The process of exploring thoughts in a visual form was the most rewarding aspect of my HSC experience.

Week 3: Bills Blown Out Again 38-7
Bills added injury to insult as more players go down.
by Steve Saslow
Another week, another blow out loss, and more serious injuries. That is the way it has gone over the first three weeks of the season for the Bills. It feels like they've played a whole season already after another horrible effort, this time the Patriots are the recipient of a one sided victory over the Bills, 38-7.
As has been the case the previous two losses, the Bills were dominated statistically as they gave up 485 yards and gained just 193 of their own while suffering three more big injuries. The gameplan was to listen to J.P. Losman and open up the offense and spread the field. That plan ended after the first play of the game when Losman was the victim of a cheap shot at the knees by Vince Wilfork. He was called for a roughing the passer penalty that cost the Patriots 15 yards and cost the Bills their quarterback for at least two games. Losman suffered a grade 1 sprained MCL on the play. He tried to stay in the game for two more plays but lost a fumble that led to the first Patriots points, a 24 yard field goal. It was the only time the Bills famed bend but don't break defense bent.
The defense would break the rest of the game as they gave up five straight touchdowns after the Bills had gained a 7-3 lead after one quarter. Edwards first offensive series in the NFL was an 80 yard drive in 12 plays to a never say die eight yard touchdown run by Marshawn Lynch. The rookie running back remains the lone bright spot for the Bills offensively as he had 74 yards on 20 carries. Nobody else did anything offensively after the touchdown drive as the Bills top four wide receivers combined for just seven catches.
Defensively they couldn't do anything once Tom Brady got hot, he threw just six incompletions the whole game. The Bills played without Paul Posluszny for most of the game after he broke his forearm in the second quarter. The Bills played a lot of two linebacker formations after Poz went out to no avail. The Patriots moved the ball at will scoring touchdowns on five of six possessions at one point including drives of 89 and 93 yards.
It could have been worse but the Patriots didn't try to score when they got down deep in Buffalo territory near the end of the game. They had mercy on the Bills, maybe they felt a bit sorry for them as well. It has been a disastrous start to the year with three losses and more injuries than I can remember this early in the year. They may get healthier after the bye week but by then it will be too late. It appears the Bills will be hopelessly out of it before the season hits the halfway point.
Here are our exclusive gameballs and goats from the Bills game against the Patriots:

Feeling colorful: It's nice to see some color in Midtown Manhattan every once and a while — away from Times Square, that is. The Desigual store on 35th and 6th Avenue, just below Bryant Park, gives spring a new feeling in the city. The Spanish clothing co. gets pretty good reviews for their store in SoHo, but as one Yelper notes: the store "isn't friendly for budget shoppers."
Summertime signage: We know you were curious about what the adidas store would launch off its blank canvas from earlier this week. Looks like they're set for summertime, and if you can't quite make out those faces, don't worry — none of them are major athletes. Just models making the store look pretty.
After the jump: Uniqlo gets in the tennis swing, and not just for Kei.
Prep-tastic: TSF East made a stop in the Uniqlo SoHo store on Tuesday for some new pantalones and caught the new in-store display for spring and summer. Looks as though the brand is OK with being a little preppy for the season. Note the colorful tennis balls on the faux grass walls. (PS: We definitely got reprimanded twice for taking pictures in the store! Kei would be proud.)

Every Marlboro student is required to complete a Plan of Concentration—a challenging, exhilarating, and uniquely rewarding academic experience. Beginning in junior year, students focus their studies on the exploration of a self-chosen academic theme, approved by the faculty, that often entails a multidisciplinary focus. Through a combination of independent study, frequent advising sessions with faculty members, and individualized tutorials, students work toward the creation of a major work of scholarship. The student's final Plan is submitted at the end of senior year and formally reviewed by one or more faculty sponsors as well as an outside evaluator with expertise in the Plan subject area.
Completing the Plan of Concentration not only takes students into an elevated academic realm; it also teaches invaluable life lessons about personal accountability, persistence, and self-confidence. Virtually every two-year Plan process involves daunting questions, course corrections, and issues of scope and focus that must be addressed. The completion of the Plan results in a tremendous sense of accomplishment and a substantive portfolio piece that students often use as a launching pad to the careers or graduate-level study they pursue after Marlboro.

LifeSite News - Pittsburgh PA
PENSACOLA, Florida, April 19, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A free video demonstration of a partial birth abortion has been posted online by a pro-life doctor and R.A.G.E. Media.
The short clip uses dramatization to show the viewer the basic technique involved in a partial birth abortion. A chair, a sheet, a baby doll and the actual instruments of an abortionist are used in the demonstration—the simplicity of the props enhances the absolute horror of the procedure, even though there is no blood or disturbing images.
"Seeing the actual procedure's steps, even so simply demonstrated, strips away the arguments of why this barbaric procedure should be allowed," said Paul Nowak, president of R.A.G.E. Media, who posted the video on his blog site. (http://wildreelingtruth.blogspot.com/2006/04/free-online-vid...)
The clip is part of a presentation on pre-birth development by Dr. William Lile, a pro-life obstetrician and gynaecologist. Dr. Lile has created a multi-media presentation, "The Miracle of Life," on the unborn child, using ultrasound images and videos of fetal surgery. He includes in the presentation a demonstration of the instruments of abortion, showing how they are used to end the life of the developing child in all three trimesters.
Dr. Lile's website states, "[My] goal is to use the visual technology of modern obstetrics to reveal the personhood of unborn babies threatened by abortion."
Fr. Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, has endorsed Dr. Lile's work. "I have seen Dr. William Lile's presentation and recommend it to pro-life groups everywhere!"

> Pattern hot spots to hunt
> Store Real Time Weather Data With Your Photos
> Name trophy animals and track their sightings
> Share your trail cam photos with members of your party
> Predict deer movement based on weather and moon phase
>Manage your trail camera photos
> Name trophy animals and track their sightings

Big Game Logic is an interactive deer tracking resource that enhances the traditional scouting process and increases your chances of harvesting that dream buck this hunting season. Big Game Logic provides you with an innovative format for virtually tracking herd movement, journaling hunts, and privately storing treestand, trail camera, and food plot information.
Harvest data is similar to Deer Sightings. From the Map Editor (by clicking on Add Items to Map from camp home) you can click on the Harvest icon and click on the map at the location the deer was shot. Now you can upload a picture of your kill (either pose with deer or trail cam image) and follow the same instructions for sightings. It will treat this as a deer sighting because this is data you want to store.
Note: If you use a posed image, make sure you update your date and time to reflect the correct date and time.
The last window for the Harvest data is where you can enter your Harvest data. If the deer you shot was a notable deer, make sure you mark as so because this will then update the Notable screen as decease and you will no longer have to worry about tracking this deer. Click save and this harvest has now been stored and added to your trophy room..
Another feature of the Camp Map is tracking Notable Deer movement. Let's say you have a huge buck you call Bruiser that you have been tracking over the past 2 years. If you had entered your sightings right you would have tagged him on every sighting where he had been seen. Now you can use the queries to see when he travels the most. Simply click on the Notable you want to track and set your parameters accordingly. You can just see all movement by that deer by leaving the parameters blank and click search.

Feb. 6, 2013 — After a year of studying up close the symbiotic relationship between a mosquito-sized bug and a fungus, a Simon Fraser University biologist has advanced the scientific understanding of biological diversity.
Share This:
See Also:
Jeffrey Joy has discovered that symbiosis -- a relationship between two or more organisms that can be parasitic or mutualistic -- is as much the mother of biological diversity as predation and competition.
The Proceedings of the Royal Society of London Series B has just published the post-doctoral researcher's findings online. They advance Joy's previous doctoral work under SFU biologist Bernard Crespi that led to a paper, in the same journal, about the remarkable diversity of plant feeding insects.
Joy's latest paper is "Symbiosis catalyzes niche expansion and diversification."
After comparing the niche and species diversification of two categories of gall-inducing flies, Joy has concluded that prolific diversity can be a hallmark of symbiotic relationships. No bigger than a speck of dust on your fingertip, these flies (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) are ubiquitous worldwide, with more than 6100 species.
Joy found one group (617 families) of these flies was in a symbiotic relationship with a fungus called Botryosphaeria. Another, much larger control group (2809 families) had no such relationship with the fungus.
Scientists are not yet certain how the fly and fungus came together in the first place. But Joy has discovered that their relationship has evolved at least four different times, since the two first saw symbiosis -- as opposed to love -- at first sight.
Flies involved with the fungi have developed the ability to pick up the fungi, store them in biological pockets and deposit them on plants. There, the flies use the fungi to turn plant tissue into food inside a gall, a tumour-like structure that the flies cause on the plant.
"The flies are like pirates," explains Joy. "They use the fungi as boats to float across a genomic sea and board a plant that is genetically far removed from what they would otherwise be able to feed on."
The fungus, which is a broad-feeding plant pathogen, allows the flies to feed on a greater variety of plants compared to their non-symbiotic brethren.
"Symbiotic lineages of these flies have undergone a more than seven-fold expansion in the range of plants they can feed on relative to the lineages without such fungal symbionts. Also, one genus of gall-inducing flies utilizing fungal symbionts is 50 per cent more diverse than its brethren without the symbiotic relationship."
Joy is as excited about discovering how symbiosis between flies and fungi advances evolutionary theories as he is about discovering the relationship itself.
"The goal of this work was to test predictions of evolutionary theories of diversification and symbiosis," explains Joy. "The theory I observed in action is that the evolution of symbiosis catalyzes niche expansion -- an organism's use of more resources -- and diversification -- increased species in lineages.
"These findings expand our understanding of how biological diversity is generated and how processes, such as symbiosis, lead to some remarkable examples of biology, such as the symbiotic mutualism between clownfish and sea anemone."

Hi everyone,
I am a novice going through the book SICP. When doing the exercises, I would like to easily switch between the MIT course materials, some relevant webpages and my code. Preferably, I would like to have a compiler such as Eclipse for Java, i.e. a program that highlights my code and at the same time compiles it (in a split screen). Is there anything comparable in regards of Lisp/Scheme? I am working on a Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite).
I have downloaded GNU Emacs from http://emacsformacosx.com/ however this seems to require much knowledge to get into a decent working flow. I hope you can finally get me started, I have struggled now for some time with that... If there is simply no such compiler could anyone tell me how to compile a file using terminal?
Thank you so much for your help.
P.S.: As of now, I have not found a decent tutorial on how to get started with Scheme. Did I miss anything?

If you watched Rick Perry's 2012 presidential campaign, you know important anti-Washington rhetoric was to the Texas governor.
Too much federal spending. Too much federal regulation. Too many unfunded federal mandates. Too much micromanagement from Washington. Too many Cabinet agencies.
If you expected to hear an undercurrent of Washington-bashing today in Perry's remarks to the Texas Legislature on the opening day of its 2013 session, you'd be disappointed.
Here are a few words or phrases that were absent from the speech:
♦♦♦ Washington
♦♦♦ federal government
♦♦♦ suing the federal government
♦♦♦ President Obama
♦♦♦ Congress
♦♦♦ federal regulation
♦♦♦ federal spending
♦♦♦ federal deficits
♦♦♦ federal failure to secure our borders
♦♦♦ federal failure to enforce immigration laws
♦♦♦ The Tenth Amendment
♦♦♦ states' rights
♦♦♦ secession
The closest the Texas governor came to a comment on national politics was a reference to the national economic downturn that rippled into Texas two years ago.
"At that time, we were still dealing with the effects of an ugly national recession, and much of the talk, both in the newspapers and around town, surrounded not whether we'd have to raise taxes, but how much we'd have to raise them to keep our state afloat," Perry told legislators. "As you all know, that's not the path we chose. We chose the responsible path, the fiscally conservative path, and that path has led us here today."
>>> On the jump: Gov. Rick Perry's complete text, as prepared for deliveryYesterday, we heard from the comptroller, and the news was good.
It confirmed much of what we've known over the past two years: that the Texas economy is healthy and growing, and thanks to the hard work and dedication of people working all across this state, the revenue forecast is up, and up significantly.
Again, all good news, and a complete change from the forecast we faced just two years ago.
At that time, we were still dealing with the effects of an ugly national recession, and much of the talk, both in the newspapers and around town, surrounded not whether we'd have to raise taxes, but how much we'd have to raise them to keep our state afloat.
As you all know, that's not the path we chose.
We chose the responsible path, the fiscally-conservative path, and that path has led us here today.
We sat down, separated our wants from our needs, prioritized, and tightened our belts, wherever necessary, and wherever possible.
Far from the catastrophe many predicted for us at the time, that approach helped our economy improve more quickly, and more profoundly, than many had expected.
The main lesson to draw from that story is simple, when people keep more of their own money it's better for them, it's better for their families, and it's better for the state.
That's a lesson we must take to heart as we begin the 83rd Legislature.
Trust me when I tell you that there are interests all across this state who view Monday's revenue estimate as the equivalent of ringing a dinner bell.
They all want more for their causes, they all figure we have money pouring out of our ears now, and they all have your address and phone number.
However, in the face of that kind of pressure, we have to remember that Monday's revenue estimate represents not a chance to spend freely, but an opportunity to rededicate ourselves to the very policies that have made Texas economically strong in the first place.
It's also a chance to put our fiscal house in order for the years to come.
That's why, over the past several months, I have called for major budgetary reforms that include reducing diversions, a stricter constitutional limit on spending, a renewed commitment to stopping any and all new taxes or tax increases, and stopping any attempt to raid the Rainy Day Fund for ongoing expenses.
For the sake of all Texas taxpayers, we must control the appetite for more spending.
We need to stop writing IOUs to the next budget, and delaying payments we know will come due.
We need to reduce the use of fees and dedicated accounts for anything other than the purpose for which the fees were collected, and if we're not going to use them in the way proposed, stop collecting them.
With a better budgetary picture, now is the time to set the books straight and improve the fiscal outlook for future legislatures.
It's also time to take a hard look at providing tax relief.
We need to ensure consumers and employers alike have more cash on hand to pay their bills, hire more people, and invest in new efforts.
We need to reduce the demands on our innovators so they're free to innovate, and able to turn their great ideas into great success.
We need to continue streamlining our government, do more with the resources we have available, and continue delivering needed services in an effective, and efficient, manner.
Of course, budgetary issues aren't all you will be tasked with.
We must deal with infrastructure needs in water, energy and transportation, both for now and stretching into the future.
We need to find the right ways to educate our workforce, whether that means a college degree or technical certification, so employers can continue to count on finding the best and brightest here in Texas.
We need to reform our laws to make it harder for people to abuse our public assistance and unemployment insurance systems, by authorizing drug screenings for those programs.
We also need to better protect our most vulnerable citizens, the unborn, by expanding the ban on abortion to any baby that can feel the pain of the procedure, and putting in place common-sense oversights on clinics and physicians involved.
These are just a few of the issues we'll address this session, and I look forward to working with [Lt.] Gov. Dewhurst and each of you in doing the people's business over the next 140 days.
At the end of the day, I'm certain you'll work together in the best interest of our state, and merit the faith placed in you by the millions of Texans who put you here.
May God bless you and, through you, may He continue to bless the great State of Texas.

Hotels in Aalborg
An ancient Viking city overflowing with fascinating attractions, Aalborg's lust for life is simply infectious! The luxury Radisson Blu Limfjord is in the heart of the city next to beautiful Limfjord and the main pedestrian area with its charming cafés and shops. Close by, don't miss elegant Jens Bang's House from Renaissance times, and the outstanding Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, not to mention Tivoliland amusement park.
Historically, the city gained notoriety as the rebel Skipper Clement's headquarters during the Count's Feud, but in 1534 he was defeated by Johan Rantzau's troops after the raid on Aalborg. Skipper Clement was captured and later beheaded at the County Council of Viborg in 1536.
The city's fishing activities, upon which its prosperity was based, were replaced by industrialization in the 1800s, and many large companies were established during this period. The cement factory Aalborg Portland is among the companies still in existence today, while Aalborg Shipyard, like many other harbour areas in the country, is being transformed into an area with residential housing, businesses, cultural centres and a seafront promenade. Take a walk in the area, there are many exciting things taking place and even more in the pipeline.
Like most other places, the development is on the upturn, and industry is being replaced by knowledge. Currently, Aalborg houses several educational institutions, including Aalborg University and University College Nordjylland. The many students naturally leave their own mark on the city, as do the many cultural institutions that make Aalborg one of the country's most active music and culture cities.
As a guest at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Aalborg, you will have every opportunity to take advantage of everything the city has to offer. You live centrally in the middle of the old city centre and within walking distance of the fjord, Aalborg Castle, the famous Jomfru Ane Street, and the shopping street Bispensgade. Easy and convenient when you want to explore the city and the surrounding area, and it is great to return to the wonderful facilities and amenities after a busy day.
If you walk down the side streets you will find several specialty shops, small clothing and jewellery boutiques, often with their own design, as well as handicrafts, galleries and cafés. Here you can rest your feet while enjoying a drink and watching the crowds around you. You will also get to experience a unique environment with beautiful old houses and cobbled streets.
Located at Nytorv is the Salling department store, which has recently been renovated and offers a wide range of products, including a supermarket. If there is something you need, you will surely find it in one of the city's shopping centres.
Schnapps has been produced in Aalborg since 1846, and even though you can order a Red Aalborg and the many other variations throughout Denmark and in many other countries – it is said to be the reason why Aalborg is written with Aa – there is something special about buying a bottle from the actual place.
On the first Saturday of the month, the huge boiler room at the cultural centre Nordkraft is transformed into a large food market with fresh produce from local producers and specialties from abroad. Flea markets are also very popular. Here you will meet students in search of a piece of furniture for their dorm rooms or a good, second-hand winter coat, collectors looking for the very thing they are lacking in their collection, connoisseurs hoping to find a gem, and everyone else enjoying themselves while walking around and browsing – and perhaps falling for an irresistible item, which they absolutely do not need but simply cannot do without.
Like most other places in Europe, Christmas markets have also become a popular gathering place in Aalborg, where you have fun at the different stalls, buy Christmas presents, and warm up with a glass of steaming mulled wine, or glögg as it is known locally.
As a contrast to Jens Bang's pompous Renaissance building, you could stop by the Utzon Centre at the Castle Square, which was designed by Jørn Utzon. The purpose of the centre is to showcase architecture, design, culture, and art in a higher form of synthesis.
If you are in Aalborg during the summer months (and it is not windy), the city's landmark, Aalborg Tower, is worth a visit. Erected on Skovbakken and 55 meters tall, it is the city's highest point with an amazing view. Going to the top in the external elevator, the highest of its kind in Scandinavia, is an experience in itself. Your visit may be further enhanced by knowing that the tower, which was built for an exhibition in 1933, was supposed to be torn down after the exhibition, but it turned out to be too expensive, so it is still there. Next to the Aalborg Tower is KUNSTEN (THE ART), an architectural masterpiece designed by Alvar Aalto. KUNSTEN is currently being renovated, but you can admire the building from the outside.
Take a trip across the fjord to Nørre Sundby. Here you will find Lindholm, a living museum that provides great insight into life in ancient times and the Viking Age, both in theory and practice. The exhibits are based on discoveries made in the city and surrounding area, and you have the opportunity of sailing in a Viking ship and visiting a Viking house.
If you are travelling with children, the Aalborg Zoo is a great place to visit. Here you will find the polar bears, which are known by many visitors because their cubs have been followed by webcam for longer periods. Lions and tigers thrive in their new facilities, and the little baby monkeys are absolutely adorable. One particular section showcases the African village with antelopes, zebras, ostriches, and dwarf hippos. Naturally there is also a playground, where the children can burn off some energy.
There is so much more to see in Aalborg. If you have particular interests, please ask the staff at the hotel, they will gladly help you on your way.
Every year, Aalborg puts opera on the agenda. 10 days of arias, duets and entire operas on film and stages, in squares, workplaces and cafes, with the new Music House as ground zero. You do not need to be an incarnated opera fan to sing along with La Donna è mobile – just make up your own lyrics. Everybody knows the melody.
Without food and drink, no one lasts long – but there is certainly no reason to go without in Aalborg. The city boasts a large variety of cafés, bars, and restaurants; all you have to do is take your pick.
Try something different by participating in an Aalborg Beer Walk. With a tasting glass and six coupons in your hand, you can try out the city's pubs in an affordable way.
Aalborg's new waterfront offers great gastronomic experiences. Enjoy an extraordinary dinner on the old, and now retired, icebreaker Elbjørn. The setting is unique with a tempting menu. You can also stay on land and visit one of the 'mainland' restaurants. You will still experience great food and a view of the fjord.
Jomfru Ane Street – or just the Street – next to the Radisson Blu Hotel, is a story in itself. During the day you can enjoy a nice lunch or a cup of coffee in one of the Street's delicious restaurants and cafés. Most of them offer outdoor seating during the summer. When evening falls, the night owls come out and the street is transformed into a party zone with music and dancing all night long. There is a reason why Jomfru Ane street is known as the largest café, restaurant, and nightclub street in the Nordic countries.
The Jutland inns are famous, and some of the best are located in and around Aalborg such as the legendary Scheelsminde, which is located inside a manor house from 1808 with an adjacent park. Enjoy the inn's classic cuisine based on seasonal ingredients with a bold, modern touch.
If you prefer to socialize at the hotel rather than going out after a day full of experiences, you can enjoy a delicious meal at the hotel restaurant Vero Gusto. It serves Italian cuisine with pizza, pasta and steak, all made with premium, fresh ingredients. A happy ending to a great eventful day.

Post by Chris of the WhiskyWall
As initially reported here at Nonjatta earlier, a retailer here in the US is releasing two single cask expressions of the much coveted Karuizawa. The retailer turns out to be K&L Wine Merchants here in California. This is very surprising on a couple of levels. First, as we all know the stocks of Karuizawa are rapidly dwindling and there just isn't much left. Second, the amount of Japanese whisky available in the US is extremely limited - Nikka has only been available here since the beginning of 2013 and even then it is only two expressions.
The procurement of these two casks has been a long time coming. The spirits buyers at K&L, David Driscoll and David Othenin-Girard, had the foresight to start trying to track down some Karuizawa to bring to the US back in 2011. Coming to terms with the Number One Drinks Company to procure these two casks was only the beginning though. The much maligned booze laws and bureaucracy made importing the whisky to the US a challenging process. But finally after two years of work these bottles are on their way and now available for pre-arrival ordering. I had the opportunity to try a small sample of each but didn't have a lot of time to really break each of them down. So my impressions will have to be supplemented after I get the chance to spend some more time with each of them.
Both bottles are available to be pre-ordered now here. K&L is estimating that they will arrive and be available for pick up sometime in late summer/early fall. These bottles will not last long and I don't foresee another release of Karuizawa for the US market ever again.

Shopping sites boost customer savvy
And improve legal compliance, says OFT
Internet shoppers are more aware of their rights and more online retailers are complying with consumer protection laws than previously, according to studies by consumer protection regulator the Office of Fair Trading (OFT).
The OFT has carried out a survey of online shoppers and a study of online retail sites in a follow up to 2007-published research which showed that many consumers were ignorant of their rights and many sites broke consumer-protection laws.
It said that it found improvements when it conducted follow-up research last year.
"Overall assumed compliance and information provision by online businesses has improved with more sites (89% in 2009 compared to 84% in 2006) now providing full geographical addresses, and fewer sites (26% in 2009 compared to 38% in 2006) imposing restrictions on cancellations," it said. 'Assumed compliance' is the term its studies use when sites they examine appear to operate in line with the law.
"A greater proportion of sites reviewed in 2009 (21% compared to 17% in 2008) appeared to comply on all aspects for which they were assessed," said its report of its 'sweep' of retail websites. "While the web sweep covered larger businesses, it is possible that assumed compliance of smaller sites, not included in the review, also improved due to the larger sites setting a higher standard."
The OFT also conducted surveys with consumers and found that their knowledge of their rights had improved since previous research.
"The 2009 [study] shows an increase in the proportion of shoppers claiming to be very or fairly aware of their rights when shopping online (up from 49% in 2006 to 62% in 2009)," said the OFT's report. "Shoppers are also more aware of where to go when looking for advice on their rights (decrease in those reporting they do not know where to go for advice from 28% in 2006 to 16% in 2009)."
"Consumer awareness about cancellation rights has improved since 2006 (51% in 2009 compared to 44% in 2006)," it said.
The survey found that a recent trend towards the use of price comparison sites may be reversed. "While fewer shoppers used price comparison sites in 2009 (60%) compared to 2006 (73%), the key reason cited for this was a preference to shop from familiar sites rather than lack of awareness about price comparison sites," it said.
The OFT's report cautioned against firm conclusions that price comparison shopping was on the wane, though. It said that other research contradicted its findings.
"Online research publication, E Marketer, stated in its August 2009 report that a survey of UK internet users carried out by Internet Advertising Bureau UK and Lightspeed Research, UK revealed that the recession had affected the frequency of visits to (retail) websites," it said. "41% of respondents said the time they spent shopping had increased and 45% said they were spending more time looking for deals. 33.7% of respondents said they visited price comparison sites more often due to the recession."
The OFT said that online consumers' situation had improved since its previous research was carried out.
"Overall, there have been many positive changes in the internet shopping market following the OFT study," it said. "Business assumed compliance with regulation and information provision has improved, levels of consumer awareness and confidence have increased since 2006, though there is still scope for the absolute levels to improve for the market to thrive.
Previous OFT research had found that nearly one third of all consumer websites were non-compliant with some aspect of consumer laws. Research conducted in 2008 found that 31% of sites appeared not to refund the full costs of goods as required by EU distance selling laws.
Despite the good news for online shoppers, the research still found problems for buyers of goods. It found that many sites added charges to items later on in the sales process.
"On more than half (55%) of the sites reviewed it was discovered that the final checkout price included compulsory additions to the first price shown," it said. "Such charges were only indicated in 22% of all sites reviewed. In nearly every case (96% ) where additional compulsory charges were experienced at checkout all or part of these were delivery charges."
The OFT is conducting another study into online retail and whether its pricing strategies and advertising methods are fair. That report is expected in spring.

PSA After Prostatectomy
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
Would you please address the issue of rising PSA levels further? My father had a radical prostatectomy, but his PSA level never registered 0. He had radiation therapy about a year ago, and once again his PSA level never fell to 0. His PSA is up to 3.3 ng/mL now. A bone scan last summer didn't indicate any presence of cancer cells. He will have the results of another bone scan next week. What questions should he be asking his urologist? A general practitioner told him the PSA results could be false, but I find this hard to believe when the levels have responded to treatment somewhat.
Neha Vapiwala, MD Senior Editor of OncoLink and Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania responds:
Prostate specific antigen, or PSA, is a glycoprotein produced by the epithelial cells in the glands and ducts of the normal prostate gland as well as by prostate cancer cells. Therefore, serum PSA is prostate-specific, not prostate cancer-specific. The fact that your father had a radical prostatectomy means that his PSA should register as zero or undetectable (most labs will state that the PSA level is somewhere below the detectable range, usually less than 0.2 ng/mL), since the surgery should have removed all of the prostate gland along with the cancer.
Serum PSA can be elevated for a number of reasons: benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), prostate infection, prostatic manipulation or biopsy, and prostate cancer. In your father's case, PSA elevation could only be due to residual cancer, since there is no longer a prostate there to be enlarged, infected, or manipulated. Most PSA elevations after radical prostatectomy can be treated with local radiation therapy to the prostate bed (the surgical area from which the prostate was removed) with varying degrees of success. Some advocate the use of anti-androgen therapy (hormonal therapy - Zoladex, Lupron, Casodex, Flutamide, etc.) along with, after, or instead of radiation therapy, all depending on the specific circumstances of the case.
The fact that his PSA remains elevated after radiation therapy is of significant concern. It is highly suggestive of residual cancer in the prostate bed, lymph nodes, or bones. While bone scans are helpful in localizing metastatic disease (spread of cancer) in the bones, they do not always detect disease. No radiographic study is 100% sensitive and accurate. Your father may have disease that is too small to detect on bone scan. One important issue is whether your father has any new bone pain, which could be a sign of disease spread. One issue you should discuss with your father's urologist is whether your father needs hormonal therapy at this time.

As a matter of fairness to all of our applicants, Middlebury does not offer on-campus interviews. Middlebury offers to as many applicants as possible the opportunity to interview with a local alumnus/a in the applicant's home or school community. After submitting an application to Middlebury, the applicant may be contacted by an alumni volunteer for an interview if an alumni representative is locally available.
Alumni interviews are typically scheduled during the month of November for Early Decision I students and January for Early Decision II, and January through the first week in February for Regular Decision students.
We do our best to interview international applicants, but due to the large number of applicants and the limited availability of interviewers abroad, we are unable to guarantee an alumni interview for all applicants living abroad.
While we strive to arrange as many alumni interviews as possible, please remember that an interview is not a requirement for admission to Middlebury, and that not having an interview will not have a negative impact on your application. In many areas the number of applicants exceeds the number of available volunteers. We do our best to offer interviews to as many applicants as possible.
Due to the high volume of calls and emails that the Admissions Office receives in November and January, please refrain from calling or emailing the Admissions Office during the beginning of the interview period to request an interview. The alumni volunteer assigned to you will be in contact by phone or e-mail, so please be sure that your information is as accurate and complete as possible on the application, and check your spam folder to recover any missed emails. If you are living at a boarding school, we will use your school year address (as supplied on your Common Application) to assign an interview. Any inaccurate information may cause a delay in your interview assignment.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is holding its annual conference this week in Baltimore, and many in the pews are wondering if there's any soul searching about the thumping their political positions took at the polls last week.
President Barack Obama was re-elected, despite the bishops' wading deep into partisan politics to "guide" Catholics and other Christian voters away from him — even launching their own "Fortnight of Freedom" political campaign in opposition to his Obamacare. Not only will Obama's Health and Human Services mandate that employers offer coverage of contraception move forward, but he will appoint any new Supreme Court justices for the next four years. Roe v. Wade remains the law of the land for the foreseeable future. And, on top of this, every state vote on same-sex marriage went to the gay activists.

Okay, I admit it.
I almost jumped out of my seat when my new Motorola Droid got all robot-like on me, announcing "Droid!" in a dark-electro freaky alien voice when I first turned it on. But as soon as I charged that baby up, easing into life on Android turned freakishly easy.
It's pretty amazing how well the Google Android-infused Droid capturing the gorgeous, full-color images embedded in my Gmail messages. That -- plus the easy-to-scroll Facebook app -- makes my BlackBerry Curve 8520 seem so archaic.
On the downside, the Curve, iPhone and virtually any other smart device I've handled lately is certainly a lot lighter than the comparatively brick-heavy Droid. And if there's an easy way to configure my Droid so I can instantly check my ten other non-Gmail accounts, I haven't discovered it yet.
Still, the extra weight is a lot better than carrying around a bunch of paper directions. I teach guitar on the weekends, on foot, and spend my Sundays trotting from one Brooklyn brownstone to another. This weekend, using the Droid's "Maps" feature and easy navigation tool, I was able to plug in my destination and get exact GPS-i-fied details on how to get from one home to another.
And that's something I certainly didn't get with any of my older smartphones. I'll take the scary "Droid" voice anyday over anything less than easy GPS!

This section demonstrates adding security to the web service client that references the web service created in the previous section. This web service is secured using the security mechanism described in SAML Authorization over SSL.
To add security to the client that references this web service, complete the following steps.
This example uses a non-JSR-109-compliant client for variety. To do this, create the client application up to the step where you create the Servlet (step 7 as of this writing) by following the steps described in Creating a Client to Consume a WSIT-Enabled Web Service, with the following exceptions:
In the step where you are directed to cut and paste the URL of the web service that you want the client to consume into the WSDL URL field, type https://fully-qualified-hostname:8181/CalculatorApplication/CalculatorWSService?wsdl, to indicate that this client should reference the web service using the secure port.
The first time you access this service, accept the certificate (s1as) when you are prompted. This is the server certificate popping up to confirm its identity to the client.
In some cases, you might get an error dialog telling you that the URL https://fully-qualified-hostname:8181/CalculatorApplication/CalculatorWSService?wsdl couldn't be downloaded. However, this the correct URL, and it does load when you run the service. So, when this error occurs, repeat the steps that create the Web Service Client using the secure WSDL. The second time, the web service reference is created and you can continue creating the client.
If you prefer to use localhost in place of the fully-qualified hostname (FQHN) in this example, you must follow the steps in Transport Security (SSL) Workaround.
Name the application CalculatorClient (since it's not a servlet.).
Instead of creating a client servlet as is described in Creating a Client to Consume a WSIT-Enabled Web Service, just add the web service operation to the generated index.jsp file to create a non-JSR-109 client. To do this, perform these steps:
If the index.jsp file is not open in the right pane, double-click it to open it.
Drill down through the Web Service References node until you get to the add operation.
Drag the add operation to the line immediately following the following line:

JSP Page

Edit the values for i and j if you'd like.
Write a SAMLCallback handler for the client side to populate a SAML assertion into the client's request to the service.
To create the SAMLCallbackHandler, follow these steps:
Right-click the CalculatorClient node.
Select New->Java Package.
For Package Name, type xwss.saml and click Finish.
Drill down from CalculatorClient->Source Packages->xwss.saml.
Right-click xwss.saml and select New->File/Folder.
From the Categories list, select Java Classes.
From the File Types list, select Empty Java File and click Next.
For Class Name, type SamlCallbackHandler and click Finish.
The empty file appears in the IDE.
Download the example file SamlCallbackHandler.java from the following URL:
https://xwss.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=6645[amp ]expandFolder=6645[amp ]folderID=6645
Open the file in a text editor.
Modify the home variable to provide the hard-coded path to your GlassFish installation.
For example, modify the line:
String home = System.getProperty("WSIT_HOME");
String home = "/home/glassfish";
Copy the contents of this file into the SamlCallbackHandler.java window that is displaying in the IDE.
Drill down from CalculatorClient->Web Service References.
Right-click CalculatorWSService and select Edit Web Service Attributes.
Select the WSIT Configuration tab of the CalculatorWSService dialog.
Provide the client's private key by pointing to an alias in the keystore. To do this, expand the Certificates node, click the Load Aliases button for the keystore, and select xws-security-client from the Alias list.
If you are using a certificate other than the updated GlassFish certificates described in To Update GlassFish Certificates, or are otherwise using a different alias for the client's private key alias, correct the private key alias in the line in the SAMLCallbackHandler.java file that looks like this:
String client_priv_key_alias="xws-security-client";
If you are using different keystore/truststore files than those described in To Update GlassFish Certificates, edit the following code in the SAMLCallbackHandler.java file accordingly:
this.keyStoreURL = home + fileSeparator + "domains" + fileSeparator + fileSeparator + "config" + "domain1" + fileSeparator + "keystore.jks"; this.keyStoreType = "JKS"; this.keyStorePassword = "changeit"; this.trustStoreURL = home + fileSeparator + "domains" + fileSeparator + "domain1" + fileSeparator + "config" + fileSeparator + "cacerts.jks"; this.trustStoreType = "JKS"; this.trustStorePassword = "changeit";
Provide the server's certificate by pointing to an alias in the client truststore. To do this, from the Certificates node, click the Load Aliases button for the Truststore and select xws-security-server.
Expand the Username Authentication node. In the SAML Callback Handler field, type the name of the class written in step 3 above, xwss.saml.SamlCallbackHandler.
Click OK to close this dialog.
In the tree, drill down from the project to Source Packages->META-INF. Double-click CalculatorWSService.xml, and verify that lines similar to the following are present, where xwss.saml.SamlCallbackHandler is the SAML Callback Handler class for the client:
<wsp:All> <wsaws:UsingAddressing xmlns:wsaws="http://www.w3.org/2006/05/addressing/wsdl"/> <sc:CallbackHandlerConfiguration wspp:visibility="private"> <sc:CallbackHandler name="samlHandler" classname="xwss.saml.SamlCallbackHandler"/> </sc:CallbackHandlerConfiguration> <sc:KeyStore wspp:visibility="private" location="as-install\domains\domain1\config\keystore.jks" storepass="changeit" alias="xws-security-client" keypass="changeit"/> <sc:TrustStore wspp:visibility="private" location="as-install\domains\domain1\config\cacerts.jks" storepass="changeit" peeralias="xws-security-server"/> </wsp:All>
Compile and run this application by right-clicking the CalculatorClient node and selecting Run Project.

My husband and I stayed here the first week of October in 2018 for our honeymoon.
It was the trip of a lifetime!
The Tuscany staff were so warm and welcoming, always asking how the "honeymoon" was going when they saw us. We enjoyed that it felt more like a home than a hotel, which I at first was hesitant about. It had every single amenity of a hotel - big pool towels, housekeeping, concierge, spa availability - but we had space to lounge around, cook, and the bonus of doing all of our sandy laundry before we came back home! We used The Tuscany bikes to go to the grocery and cooked fresh fish one night along with making breakfast every morning - something we definitely couldn't have done with a hotel option.
The Tuscany arranged everything from dinner reservations, to our snorkeling trip, to the cab to and from the airport and always with a smile! It isn't in the middle of all the island hotels, instead it is near the end - so it is quiet and all you can hear are the waves crashing opposed to other visitors on the island. This end of the beach felt a lot more clean because of that. The pool was phenomenal, we always had it to ourselves.
It was a five star home away from home, no matter if we were honeymooning or had brought family along!
Our family of five (kids ages 7, we and 14) just returned from a wonderful post-Christmas stay. It was our first time at Tuscany and to Turks & Caicos. What separates Tuscany is the pristine grounds, cleanliness, and both the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff. With only 30 units it has a boutiquey feel and the staff makes very effort to have you feel special and attended to.
The villas themselves are fantastic - each has a million dollar water view, is well appointed and has tons of space with a nice screened deck (three bedrooms, three baths). It was the perfect size for our family and our kids felt safe and comfortable throughout the stay. We also liked that the property is towards the quieter end of Grace Bay, which also distinguishes Tuscany from some of the properties further up the beach.
Some may want a restaurant on property but there were lunch options within 25 yards and we had six great dinners all within a couple miles.
We'll be back!
Jan 2, 2019
Fantastic Visit! The pre-arrival service, reservations, recommendations ... first rate! The location is spectacular ... more towards the east end of Grace Bay and less crowded. But with access to tiki bar and five star dinning right next door. Great beach, chairs and umbrellas - Pool option. Tennis courts. Across the street from Golf. Walk the beach to the more touristy offerings of parasailing, tube rides, snorkel boat excursions, etc. And 6 minute drive over to Long Bay Beach for Kite Boarding.
Five Star Location. Beautiful views!!
The condo next door - to the east - is set back 100m ... so unobstructed views. The service was attentive and responsive. We had a brand new GE Fridge that did not seem to want to stay cool enough - they had maintenance on site on Christmas Day and fixed the issue. Impressive given the reputation of lack of urgency on the Islands. Not true at The Tuscany. The maid service was excellent and non-intrusive. Fresh beach towels everyday.
All of the equipment in the kitchen, laundry room was new and the kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, etc ... five star functioning kitchen. Great spot and wonderful people helping you to get the most out of your experience.
The Tuscany loves receiving wonderful letters as the one below (Christmas 2018):
I just wanted to let the Tuscany know that we had a truly wonderful week in our beautiful suite! Everything about the place was fantastic - the pretty decor and comfy furniture, the amazing view, the well equipped kitchen, and all the other amenities and special touches that made it the nicest and most attractive place we've ever rented (and we've done this drill a lot on other islands!).
And every single member of the Tuscany staff was so warm and welcoming, truly helpful, and incredibly quick to respond to requests for help or bookings. It's a pretty special team!
The beach is of course gorgeous, but we also loved the pool, and I was excited that it was long enough to do laps, and also that it was so quiet and uncrowded.
I had a great massage with Rosa early in the week and then my mom, daughter, and I had a really nice girls spa afternoon at the Palms towards the send of our stay, so I felt relaxed as a noodle by the time we had to leave (and get all stressed all over again!)
After reading all of the rave reviews of The Tuscany and looking forward to our trip for almost a year, I wondered if The Tuscany would be able to meet my very high expectations -- but it not only met them but exceeded them!!
The service and accommodations are first class. Shawnamae was so helpful both before we arrived and during our stay in meeting our every need and booking reservations for dinners, massages and excursions.
The condo was absolutely wonderful - it was spotless and well-appointed. We traveled with our 4 teenagers and the 3-bedroom condo gave us plenty of room. When we were in the condo we spent most of our time on the roomy screened-in veranda enjoying the gorgeous view of the beach and the turquoise water. There are chaise lounges on the veranda, which are perfect for reading, and a large table where we ate meals and played games.
We have traveled often as a family and are picky about our accommodations but we loved everything about The Tuscany!
We visited as a family for Christmas! The staff was so helpful and friendly! We were greeted like we were family.
The Unit was stocked with food before we arrived and the woman at the front desk was very helpful in booking dinners, transportation, and other activities (we did a boat tour). Everything was very clean and the beach was beautiful.
There's a cute little bar/ restaurant next door that will serve you on the beach. That also had great food.
We stayed at the Tuscany for our honeymoon.
The resort was towards the end of Grace Bay not very many people walking around on the beach and no vendors to bother you no fences to stop you. We walked for an hour and a half in One Direction and back .
Lots of things to do on the island groceries are kind of expensive the scooter tour was awesome .
Beautiful sand and water probably the best beach area I've ever been to and I've been to Hawaii, Cancun, Florida, Jamaica.
The staff at the hotel is very nice and accommodating for day trips . Rent a car when you get there as you may want to go places.
I think we will be back , just a matter of time . The view from the room was awesome
The condo was amazing. Better than we expected and we were expecting a lot based upon prior reviews and pictures.
The condo is furnished very tasteful in Island Chic. An updated kitchen with stainless appliances and all the amenities a serious chef could want. Luxurious bathrooms with nice soaps, lotions & shampoos. Housekeeping is provided everyday. They change linens and towels and provide free bottled water each day. Beach towels are also provided and changed each day. The washer and dryer made packing easier.
The large screened in balcony made for some remarkable views of the turkoise water of Grace Bay. A covered parking space is provided and there are gas grills on site. The pool is large and and there were comfortable loungers available.
The front end staff were wonderful. Shaquell, Shawnemae and the rest were extremely helpful in making dinner reservations before our arrival and arranging a snorkel trip during our stay.
We were there during the low season so there were very few guests about. Plenty of loungers and umbrellas available on the beach. But I believe that since only about half the thirty condos are in the rental pool it is never crowded.
Overall, we had a most enjoyable stay and a big thanks to the owner Elizabeth for having such a beautiful place for us to share. She was a pleasure to deal with and always answered any questions promptly.
We are already planning our next trip to Turks & Caicos and another great stay at this perfect island retreat.

WND Exclusive
Wall Street targeted for Britain-style riots
'Day of rage' aims to 'bring down the stock market'
Firefighters douse a building destroyed in the initial rioting in Tottenham, North London
In the wake of Britain's riots, a group of American radicals are planning a "Day of Rage" targeting Wall Street and U.S. capitalism.
The upcoming protests, replete with a planned tent city in downtown Manhattan, is closely tied to the founders of ACORN and leaders of major U.S. unions, including the Service Employees International Union, or SEIU.
There are indications the protesters are training to incite violence, resist arrest and disrupt the legal system.
The protest aims to take root nationwide.
Activists are advertising on social network sites such as Facebook and Twitter for a "Day of Rage" on Sept. 17 to begin with the "occupation" of Wall Street and continue with protests across the nation.
Read about the "ballot box stuffers," "urban terrorists," "gangsters" and others who make up "Obama's favorite community organizing group," in "Subversion Inc."
Planners have their own website – USDayofRage.org – which tells protesters to "bring your own tent."
The website is not specific about the purpose of the "Day of Rage" other than calling for "integrity" to be "restored to our elections."
The site accuses corporations of using "money to act as the voices of millions, while individual citizens, the legitimate voters, are silenced and demoralized by the farce."
Advertisements claim the protests at Wall Street and nationwide will be "non-violent."
However, the official website provides resources, including videos and detailed written instructions, for protesters to engage in "civil disobedience."
The resources provided include instructions on how to resist police arrest and disrupt court hearings.
Similar instructions are provided on the website of an affiliated organization, which calls itself "Occupy Wall Street" and is also involved in planning the Sept. 17 protests.
The use of the term "Day of Rage" recalls the "Days of Rage" organized in the 1960s by the Weather Underground domestic terrorist organization co-founded by Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, close associates for years of President Obama.
Numerous radicals, many with direct ties to Obama, are linked to planned protests and other activism scheduled for the coming months.
In March, ACORN founder Wade Rathke announced what he called "days of rage in ten cities around JP Morgan Chase." Rathke was president of an SEIU local in New Orleans.
The planned Sept. 17 protest seems to be the culmination of Rathke's efforts.
Those efforts are being organized by Stephen Lerner, an SEIU board member who reportedly visited the Obama White House at least four times.
Lerner is considered one of the most capable organizers of the radical left. He recently organized the SEIU's so-called Justice for Janitors campaign.
As part of his planned protests, Lerner called for "a week of civil disobedience, direct action all over the city."
His stated aim is to "destabilize the folks that are in power and start to rebuild a movement."
In an interview about the planned protests, Lerner outlined his goals: "How do we bring down the stock market? How do we bring down their bonuses? How do we interfere with their ability to, to be rich?"
Forecast for American cities: Confrontation, intimidation?
There are other indications a coalition of radicals and unions are planning chaos using the current economic crisis.
Earlier this month, WND reported that a slew of extremist organizations, some tied to Obama, are preparing protests to coincide with major NATO and G-8 summits in Chicago next May.
Foreshadowing possible violent confrontations, some of the same radical trainers behind the infamous 1999 Seattle riots against the World Trade Organization have been mobilizing new protest efforts geared toward world summits as well as the current economic crisis.
Some of the activists are tied to Obama.
The NATO and G-8 summits are not the only focus of radical groups.
WND reported Heather Booth, director of a Saul Alinsky-style community organizing group, the MidwestAcademy, was among the main speakers at the "2011 State Battles Summit" in June at the Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill Hotel in Washington, D.C.
Booth's husband, Paul, also was a speaker at the union summit. Paul Booth co-founded Midwest Academy in the 1970s.
The four-day summit was organized by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, or AFSCME, with participation from the AFL-CIO, the nation's largest union.
An official schedule for the event, obtained by WND, declared: "Our union is under unprecedented attack in every state. Extremist politicians want to weaken us as we head into 2012. Their tactics include budget cuts, layoffs, privatization and the denial of our very collective bargaining rights."
Continued the flyer: "New challenges require new energy and new thinking. We encourage union activists to attend this conference and bring their creative ideas on how to overcome the challenges ahead."
Heather Booth participated in a panel entitled, "Our Message, Alliances and Best Practices."
Paul Booth delivered the opening remarks for the union conference.
Another speaker at the union event was John Podesta, who co-chaired President Obama's transition team.
Podesta is president of the Center for American Progress, which is heavily influential in advising the White House. The center is funded by philanthropist George Soros.
Mideast revolutions coming to U.S.?
Citizen Action of Wisconsin, an arm of Booth's Midwest Academy, is part of the Moving Wisconsin Forward movement, one of the main organizers of the major Wisconsin protests in February, as WND first reported.
The protests were in opposition to Gov. Scott Walker's proposal for most state workers to pay 12 percent of their health care premiums and 5.8 percent of their salary toward their own pensions.
WND reported at the time speakers at the rallies likened the Wisconsin protests to the ongoing revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa while calling for similar uprisings in the U.S.
'Redistribution of wealth and power'
Obama himself once funded Midwest Academy. He has been closely tied to Heather Booth.
Booth has stated building a "progressive majority" would help for "a fair distribution of wealth and power and opportunity."
Her husband Paul is a founder and the former national secretary of Students for a Democratic Society, the radical 1960s anti-war movement from which Ayers' Weather Underground splintered.
In 1999, the Booths' Midwest Academy received $75,000 from the Woods Fund with Obama on its board alongside Ayers, In 2002, with Obama still serving on the Woods Fund, Midwest received another $23,500 for its Young Organizers Development Program.
Midwest describes itself as "one of the nation's oldest and best-known schools for community organizations, citizen organizations and individuals committed to progressive social change."
It later morphed into a national organizing institute for an emerging network of organizations known as Citizen Action.
Discover the Networks describes Midwest as "teach[ing] tactics of direct action, confrontation and intimidation."
WND first reported the executive director of an activist organization that taught Alinsky's tactics of direct action, confrontation and intimidation was part of the team that developed volunteers for President Obama's 2008 campaign.
Jackie Kendall, executive director of the Midwest Academy, was on the team that developed and delivered the first Camp Obama training for volunteers aiding Obama's campaign through the 2008 Iowa Caucuses.
Camp Obama was a two-to-four day intensive course run in conjunction with Obama's campaign aimed at training volunteers to become activists to help Obama win the presidential election.
Also, in 1998, Obama participated on a panel discussion praising Alinsky alongside Heather Booth, herself a dedicated disciple of Alinsky.
The panel discussion following the opening performance in Chicago of the play "The Love Song of Saul Alinsky," a work described by the Chicago Sun-Times as "bringing to life one of America's greatest community organizers."
Obama participated in the discussion alongside other Alinskyites, including political analyst Aaron Freeman, Don Turner of the Chicago Federation of Labor and Northwestern University history professor Charles Paine.
"Alinsky had so much fire burning within," stated local actor Gary Houston, who portrayed Alinsky in the play. "There was a lot of complexity to him. Yet he was a really cool character."

Sports Massage in Methven
Distinctive, unique, probing massage to encourage change and healing to your body for improved power, energy and comfort.
1 / 2
Massage for bodies that need to work or play hard!
There are times in everybody's life when our bodies let us down, either through injury, overwork, repetition, or pure neglect. Bodies are adaptors, so will ignore persistant pain or discomfort in order to continue doing the tasks required of it. Sometimes the body will protest loud enough that we have to listen.. thats when we will seek out a therapy of some description to understand what has gone wrong. As a sports massage therapist my job is to slowly work through your body's tissue and seek out where it has got stuck. often splinting itself together to perform the task. I will ask you questions on how you live in your body and discuss with you why and how it has got stuck. some pain will clear from the body quickly, and some will not! then i will discuss with you what you need to do to live in your body comfortably and to get it working for you, not against you.
In order to help bodies be comfortable, we need to learn to keep the muscle fibers stretched and relaxed. When they are held in tension they become fatigued and then inflammed, often causing a chronic pain. Stretching helps to clean out any inflammation and prevent the muscle from sticking together. imagine hot and cold spaghetti, when it's hot it slithers all over the place. when it's cold it clumps together and gets sticky.. muscles are like that.
Once you have an understanding of how your body has got stuck and uncomfortable, the next step is to learn how to live within the limits of your body and it's injury to keep it happy and content. Your body is not a static thing but a dynamic, repair process. Everytime you push the boundries of your body, it then has to invest a lot of effort into repair and recovery.(ever wondered why you get so tired?) The harder you push it, the harder it has to work to repair.. believe me, bodies are machines if they are looked after so it makes a lots of sense to keep it in perfect condition so you can live, work and play hard.

What You Do:
