From Harriett Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin:
There was something so piquant and original in these elucidations of humanity, that Mr. Shelby could not help laughing in company. Perhaps you laugh too, dear reader; but you know humanity comes out in a variety of strange forms now-a-days, and there is no end to the odd things that humane people will say and do.
In Moby-Dick, Herman Melville writes,
All these particulars are faithfully narrated here, as they will not fail to elucidate several most important, however intricate passages, in scenes hereafter to be painted.
And in Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote:

For me the K60s are a much better value since they go over twice as far with better overall performance. They also cost more - $150 for the rear vs. about $70 for the T63. $85 for the front vs. $70 for the Michelin.
Are the Heidenau's similar in thread depth to the Metzeler Enduro 3 Sahara's ?
I wouldn't take them off the pavement again....
I guess different riding styles and air pressure makes alot of difference, because one of the thing I really like about the T63's is that the front wears really nice and even with no or little stepping (unlike the Pirelli MT21's which look like a Mayan pyramid after 25 minutes). Riding fully laden around Oz I got about 6000km from a set, but never wore them out and could easily have gone another 2000km I reckon. Tires are like chicks though, go with what
like, which isn't necessarily what your buddy likes

Favorite dutch oven/camping dishes?
I'm planning a camping trip and I want to do a few different dishes than our usual assortment. We don't use a campstove while camping (although, we have access to one).
What is your favorite dish to make with either a dutch oven or using the campfire (coals or grill)?

AWK is a general purpose programming language that is designed for processing text-based data, either in files or data streams, and was created at Bell Labs in the 1970s. The name AWK is derived from the family names of its authors — Alfred Aho, Peter Weinberger, and Brian Kernighan; however, it is not commonly pronounced as a string of separate letters but rather to sound the same as the name of the bird, auk (which acts as an emblem of the language such as on The AWK Programming Language book cover). awk, when written in all lowercase letters, refers to the Unix or Plan 9 program that runs other programs written in the AWK programming language.
AWK is an example of a programming language that extensively uses the string datatype, associative arrays (that is, arrays indexed by key strings), and regular expressions. The power, terseness, and limitations of AWK programs and sed scripts inspired Larry Wall to write Perl. Because of their dense notation, all these languages are often used for writing one-liner programs.
AWK is one of the early tools to appear in Version 7 Unix and gained popularity as a way to add computational features to a Unix pipeline. A version of the AWK language is a standard feature of nearly every modern Unix-like operating system available today. AWK is mentioned in the Single UNIX Specification as one of the mandatory utilities of a Unix operating system. Besides the Bourne shell, AWK is the only other scripting language available in a standard Unix environment. Implementations of AWK exist as installed software for almost all other operating systems.
An AWK program is a series of pattern action pairs, written as:
pattern { action }
where pattern is typically an expression and action is a series of commands. Each line of input is tested against all the patterns in turn and the action is executed for each expression that is true. Either the pattern or the action may be omitted. The pattern defaults to matching every line of input. The default action is to print the line of input.
In addition to a simple AWK expression, the pattern can be BEGIN or END causing the action to be executed before or after all lines of input have been read, or pattern1, pattern2 which matches the range of lines of input starting with a line that matches pattern1 up to and including the line that matches pattern2 before again trying to match against pattern1 on future lines.
In addition to normal arithmetic and logical operators, AWK expressions include the tilde operator, ~, which matches a regular expression against a string. As handy syntactic sugar, /regexp/ without using the tilde operator matches against the current line of input.
For brevity, the enclosing curly braces ({ } ) will be omitted from these examples.
This displays the contents of the current line. In AWK, lines are broken down into fields, and these can be displayed separately: print $1
Although these fields ($X) may bear resemblance to variables (the $ symbol indicates variables in perl), they actually refer to the fields of the current line. A special case, $0, refers to the entire line. In fact, the commands "print" and "print $0" are identical in functionality.
The print command can also display the results of calculations and/or function calls:
print 3+2
print foobar(3)
print foobar(variable)
print sin(3-2)
Output may be sent to a file:
print "expression" > "file name"
or through a pipe:
print "expression" | "command"
function add_three (number, temp) {
temp = number + 3
return temp
This statement can be invoked as follows:
print add_three(36) # Outputs 39
Functions can have variables that are in the local scope. The names of these are added to the end of the argument list, though values for these should be omitted when calling the function. It is convention to add some whitespace in the argument list before the local variables, in order to indicate where the parameters end and the local variables begin.
BEGIN { print "Hello, world!" }
Note that you do not need an explicit exit statement, as since the only pattern is BEGIN, no command-line arguments are processed.
length > 80
The AWK Programming Language now specifies an explicit $0 in the length function:
length($0) > 80
w += NF
c += length + 1
}END { print NR, w, c }
As there is no pattern for the first line of the program, every line of input matches by default so the increment actions are executed for every line. Note that w += NF is shorthand for w = w + NF.
{ s += $NF } END { print s + 0 }
s is incremented by the numeric value of $NF which is the last word on the line as defined by AWK's field separator, by default white-space. NF is the number of fields in the current line, e.g. 4. Since $4 is the value of the fourth field, $NF is the value of the last field in the line regardless of how many fields this line has, or whether it has more or fewer fields than surrounding lines. $ is actually a unary operator with the highest operator precedence. (If the line has no fields then NF is 0, $0 is the whole line, which in this case is empty apart from possible white-space, and so has the numeric value 0.)
At the end of the input the END pattern matches so s is printed. However, since there may have been no lines of input at all, in which case no value has ever been assigned to s, it will by default be an empty string. Adding zero to a variable is an AWK idiom for coercing it from a string to a numeric value. (Concatenating an empty string is to coerce from a number to a string, e.g. s "". Note, there's no operator to concatenate strings, they're just placed adjacently.) With the coercion the program prints 0 on an empty input, without it an empty line is printed.
$ yes Wikipedia | awk 'NR % 4 == 1, NR % 4 == 3 { printf "%6d %sn", NR, $0 }' | sed 7q
1 Wikipedia
2 Wikipedia
3 Wikipedia
5 Wikipedia
6 Wikipedia
7 Wikipedia
9 Wikipedia
The yes command repeatedly prints the letter "y" on a line. In this case, we tell the command to print the word "Wikipedia". The action statement prints each line numbered. The printf function emulates the standard C printf, and works similarly to the print command described above. The pattern to match, however, works as follows: NR is the number of records, typically lines of input, AWK has so far read, i.e. the current line number, starting at 1 for the first line of input. % is the modulo operator. NR % 4 == 1 is true for the first, fifth, ninth, etc., lines of input. Likewise, NR % 4 == 3 is true for the third, seventh, eleventh, etc., lines of input. The range pattern is false until the first part matches, on line 1, and then remains true up to and including when the second part matches, on line 3. It then stays false until the first part matches again on line 5. The sed command is used to print the first 7 lines, to prevent yes running forever. It is equivalent to head -7 if the head command is available.
The first part of a range pattern being constantly true, e.g. 1, can be used to start the range at the beginning of input. Similarly, if the second part is constantly false, e.g. 0, the range continues until the end of input:
/^--cut here--$/, 0prints lines of input from the first line matching the regular expression ^--cut here--$, that is, a line containing only the phrase "---cut here---", to the end.
BEGIN { FS="[^a-zA-Z]+" }
{ for (i=1; i<=NF; i++)
END { for (i in words)
print i, words[i]
The BEGIN block sets the field separator to any sequence of non-alphabetic characters. Note that separators can be regular expressions. After that, we get to a bare action, which performs the action on every input line. In this case, for every field on the line, we add one to the number of times that word, first converted to lowercase, appears. Finally, in the END block, we print the words with their frequencies. The line
for (i in words)creates a loop that goes through the array words, setting i to each subscript of the array. This is different from most languages, where such a loop goes through each value in the array. This means that you print the word with each count in a simple way. tolower was an addition to the One True awk (see below) made after the book was published.
$ cat grepinawk
shiftawk '/'$pattern'/ { print FILENAME ":" $0 }' $*
The $pattern in the awk command is not protected by quotes. A pattern by itself in the usual way checks to see if the whole line ($0) matches. FILENAME contains the current filename. awk has no explicit concatenation operator; two adjacent strings concatenate them. $0 expands to the original unchanged input line.
There are alternate ways of writing this. This shell script accesses the environment directly from within awk:
$ cat grepinawk
shiftawk '$0 ~ ENVIRON["pattern"] { print FILENAME ":" $0 }' $*
This is a shell script that uses ENVIRON, an array introduced in a newer version of the One True awk after the book was published. The subscript of ENVIRON is the name of an environment variable; its result is the variable's value. This is like the getenv function in various standard libraries and POSIX. The shell script makes an environment variable pattern containing the first argument, then drops that argument and has awk look for the pattern in each file.
~ checks to see if its left operand matches its right operand; !~ is its inverse. Note that a regular expression is just a string and can be stored in variables.
The next way uses command-line variable assignment, in which an argument to awk can be seen as an assignment to a variable:
$ cat grepinawk
shiftawk '$0 ~ pattern { print FILENAME ":" $0 }' "pattern=$pattern" $*
Finally, this is written in pure awk, without help from a shell or without the need to know too much about the implementation of the awk script (as the variable assignment on command line one does), but is a bit lengthy:
pattern = ARGV[1]
for (i = 1; i < ARGC; i++) # remove first argument
ARGV[i] = ARGV[i + 1]
if (ARGC == 1) { # the pattern was the only thing, so force read from standard input (used by book)
}$0 ~ pattern { print FILENAME ":" $0 }
The BEGIN is necessary not only to extract the first argument, but also to prevent it from being interpreted as a filename after the BEGIN block ends. ARGC, the number of arguments, is always guaranteed to be ≥1, as ARGV[0] is the name of the command that executed the script, most often the string "awk". Also note that ARGV[ARGC] is the empty string, "". # initiates a comment that expands to the end of the line.
Note the if block. awk only checks to see if it should read from standard input before it runs the command. This means that
awk 'prog'only works because the fact that there are no filenames is only checked before prog is run! If you explicitly set ARGC to 1 so that there are no arguments, awk will simply quit because it feels there are no more input files. Therefore, you need to explicitly say to read from standard input with the special filename -.
For example, a UNIX command called hello.awk that prints the string "Hello, world!" may be built by creating a file named hello.awk containing the following lines:
#!/usr/bin/awk -fBEGIN { print "Hello, world!" }
The -f tells awk that the argument that follows is the file to read the awk program from, which is placed there by the shell when running.
In 1985 its authors started expanding the language, most significantly by adding user-defined functions. The language is described in the book The AWK Programming Language, published 1988, and its implementation was made available in releases of UNIX System V. To avoid confusion with the incompatible older version, this version was sometimes known as "new awk" or nawk. This implementation was released under a free software license in 1996, and is still maintained by Brian Kernighan. (see external links below)
BWK awk refers to the version by Brian W. Kernighan. It has been dubbed the "One True AWK" because of the use of the term in association with the book that originally described the language, and the fact that Kernighan was one of the original authors of awk. FreeBSD refers to this version as one-true-awk. This version also has features not in the book, such as tolower and ENVIRON that are explained above; see the FIXES file in the source archive for details.
gawk (GNU awk) is another free software implementation and the only implementation that made serious attempts at implementing i18n. It also allows the user to extend the functionality of the program via user-written shared libraries. It was written before the original implementation became freely available, and is still widely used. Many Linux distributions come with a recent version of gawk and gawk is widely recognized as the de-facto standard implementation in the Linux world; gawk version 3.0 was included as awk in FreeBSD prior to version 5.0. Subsequent versions of FreeBSD use BWK awk in order to avoid the GPL, a more restrictive (in the sense that GPL licensed code cannot be modified to become proprietary software) license than the BSD license.
xgawk is a SourceForge project based on gawk. It extends gawk with dynamically loadable libraries.
mawk is a very fast AWK implementation by Mike Brennan based on a byte code interpreter.
Old versions of Unix, such as UNIX/32V, included awkcc, which converted AWK to C. Kernighan wrote a program to turn awk into C++; its state is not known.
awka (whose front end is written on top of the mawk program) is another translator of awk scripts into C code. When compiled, statically including the author's libawka.a, the resulting executables are considerably sped up and according to the author's tests compare very well with other versions of awk, perl or tcl. Small scripts will turn into programs of 160-170 kB. http://awka.sourceforge.net
Downloads and further information about these versions are available from the sites listed below.
Thompson AWK or TAWK is an AWK compiler for Solaris (operating system), DOS, OS/2, and Windows, previously sold by Thompson Automation Software (which has ceased its activities).
Jawk is a SourceForge project to implement AWK in Java. Extensions to the language are added to provide access to Java features within AWK scripts (i.e., Java threads, sockets, Collections, etc).
BusyBox includes a sparsely documented AWK implementation that appears to be complete, written by Dmitry Zakharov. This is a very small implementation suitable for embedded systems.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, campaignlive.co.uk, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 08:30AM
Ryanair's print ad featured a picture of Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe underneath the headline "Here's easyJet's new head of punctuality".
There were three press cuttings included in the ad, with one headline reading "easyJet in punctuality blow," and the other two stating "less punctual than Air Zimbabwe".
Further text at the bottom of the ad stated "Ryanair – easyJet can't match our prices, or our punctuality either!".
The print ad was made in-house by Ryanair and ran in the Telegraph and Guardian newspapers.
There were 20 complaints from the public objecting to the use of Robert Mugabe's image, claiming it "trivialised" the recent past and political circumstances of Zimbabwe.
One complainant said claiming that easyJet's punctuality could not match Ryanair's service was misleading and unsubstantiated, believing the comparison was based on data from just one airport.
Ryanair said it used Mugabe in reference to recent articles calling easyJet slower than Zimbabwean Airways, because he was the most recognisable Zimbabwean. The company believed the ad was humorous and would not cause serious offence.
The Telegraph said it considered the implications of the ad before they ran it, deciding that it would not cause widespread offence and also stating that it had not received any direct complaints.
The budget airline defended the claim that easyJet was not as punctual as themselves by submitting documents that compared airlines arrival and departure times for UK airports since 2006, highlighting Ryanair and easyJet.
The ASA rejected the complaints, acknowledging that Rynair's use of pictures of Mugabe were "likely to be seen as tasteless by some", but that the context of the ads referred to Air Zimbabwe, not Zimbabwe's political past.
The ASA said "the inclusion of an image of Robert Mugabe as a recognisable Zimbabwean was unlikely to cause offence to most readers", concluding that the ad was "unlikely to cause serious or widespread offence".
The ASA rejected the documents submitted by Ryanair that compared the punctuality of the two airlines as far back as 2006, stating that it was "insufficient to demonstrate that, at the time the ad appeared, easyJet could not match Ryanair for punctuality in all circumstances".
However, it upheld Ryanair's claim that easyJet was not as punctual as the Irish airline, based on the evidence submitted by Ryanair comparing airlines for punctuality from the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
The advertising authority decided that the ad was not misleading and that no further action was necessary.

Pieces in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal suggest that the real target of Apple's second courtroom patent battle with Samsung may be Android.
Some features in Samsung devices that Apple objects to are part of Google's Android operating system, by far the most popular mobile operating system worldwide, running on more than a billion devices made by many manufacturers. That means that if Apple wins, Google could have to make changes to critical Android features, and Samsung and other Android phone makers might have to modify the software on their phones …
Jury selection begins today for the second patent case between the two companies after mediation attempts failed. Apple is seeking around $2B in damages for five patents it alleges Samsung has violated, while Samsung is counter-claiming that Apple is in violation of two of its own patents.
Apple's patent claims include slide-to-unlock and the ability to simultaneously search a device and the Internet.
The NYT cites Mark P. McKenna, Notre Dame professor of intellectual property law, in support of its contention that Android is the real target here.
Google's been lurking in the background of all these cases because of the Android system. Several people have described the initial battle between Samsung and Apple as really one between Apple and Google.
While the WSJ has a similar comment from Michael Carrier, a patent expert and law professor at Rutgers University.
Google will be a lot more front and center than in previous cases. Google vs. Apple makes it more of a clash of the titans on the same turf.
Samsung's defence is expected to major on the claim that the disputed features were already in development in Android before the iPhone was released, putting Android at the heart of the dispute. It has already been ruled that Samsung did infringe on autocomplete functionality, which is part of Android.
Former Android lead/inventor Andy Rubin is listed as a potential witness, again putting Android to the fore. On the Apple side, senior VP Phil Schiller is expected to testify.
The case is expected to last around a month.
In the previous patent case between the two companies, Apple was initially awarded $1B in damages before $450M was cut, with a retrial ordered to look again at the damages awarded for some of the patents. The retrial awarded Apple $290M instead for that portion of the case, giving Apple a revised total award of $930M. Apple did, however, fail in an attempt to obtain an injunction against the products found to infringe its patents.

This is crazy. Apple should concentrate on making great products that people want to buy, not litigation. I love my iPad mini and iPad Air, and I'd never get anything else. However, I traded my iPhone for a Galaxy S4. Android, with the Kitkat version, is simply a better platform for a smartphone. It looks just as nice, and has a notification center that is far and away more useful. Also, its way more flexible. I don't have to describe how, since this is all old news.
agreed… My 2007 MacBook to this day has been rock solid! but my 2013 MacBook Air not so much! Apple still makes some of the greatest products in terms of quality, but not compared to Apple 7 years ago
Isn't that kind of the point, though? Apple takes the route of litigation BECAUSE they see customers trading their iPhones for samsung products that have a complete(r) feature set BECAUSE samsung (arguably) stole a number of their features. That's the whole point, if the Samsung Galaxy S line wasn't basically a series of improved iPhone clones (that's the idea of the trials, I never owned a galaxy, so I'm not giving my personal view here) but just a great original samsung product, Apple would not litigate. Also, if samsung just admitted they copied stuff and took a licensing deal like HTC did, there would be no more litigation, instead Samsung continues to copy and continues to claim they invented it first in some backroom nobody ever saw and just forgot to patent it (like they did with tv's before).
read my comment below Galaxy S series are just worse fake iPhone with same price tag.
Me and same of my friends done the same but, I will trade my GS4 for an iPhone 6 (when Apple releases it). Problems were
1) Play Store is much inferior to the App Store. For me, apps are the only thing that makes smartphones "smart" without apps, both Android Phones and iPhone would be feature phones with a touch screen. Play Store contains too much malware, spams and inappropriate apps. Most of the "original" apps have fake ones with malware.
2) GS4 has too much bugs and problems. After 6 months, I see a significant drop in battery life, and there is too much bugs. Sometimes notification center sometimes stops working, sometimes phone reboots for no reason, sometimes apps crash (this happen often)
3) GS4 has too much bloatware and useless features. OK, Air gestures, Smart Scroll etc. was interesting for 1 week. Then, I never activated them again. Because they are not really useful and they usually don't work properly. Also Samsung downloaded tons of useless apps, they consume half of the phone's memory and I need to root my phone to get rid of them, for me Android is only open for manufacturer not customer
4) GS4 and Touchwiz is simply ugly. That plastic feel, becomes more and more annoying. And both Touchwiz UI and GS4 is too ugly, it doesn't looks like it's worth it
5) Android is too slow, even camera app takes a lot of time to open.
So, most of my friends traded their GS4s and bought iPhone 5S but, I will probably wait until iPhone 6.
Well mister, you know what's Android, Windows Phone and IOS? The world is a bit more bigger than Iphone and Galaxy S as the rainbow is a bit more than black and white. Why don't you give a chance to one of the 50 more producers? Samsung fill devices with his crap, ok, Apple too. Maybe some third society could get more in touch with you than those 2…
The way iOS and Android handle notifications is different. I never hear android fans asking for badges on their apps but I think that they are actually more useful than the notification center. I don't need to open the notification center to see if I have notifications or not, and the bar on top isn't crowded by icons. If I need to know what message I received for example, it's faster to just open the messages app rather than opening the notification bar and replying from there like in Android. This is a non-problem.
I'm no expert, but I'd go as far as to say it has been all along.

Public Wants More Government Spending
August 20, 2012
A majority of Americans want government to spend more on certain federal programs ranging from veterans' assistance to food safety, according to a new survey by a global polling firm.
The survey, which included a random sample of 1,000 respondents nationwide, asked participants whether the government should commit more, less or the same amount of resources and staff to certain federal programs and services: food, drug and medical device safety, border security, veterans' assistance and nuclear safety. For example, 86 percent of respondents said they wanted government to commit more resources and personnel to veterans' assistance, while 58 percent favored more nuclear safety resources. The poll, conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs for the National Treasury Employees Union, also asked participants about their views on deficit reduction.
Sixty-seven percent said Congress should raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans before cutting funding for public services such as food and drug safety and border security. The respondent pool included Democrats, Independents and Republicans.

If you don't really want things to change, then we're probably not the people for you.
So the question is – how far do you really want to go?
Your investment must match your ambition. Or vice versa.
But without appropriate investment there can never be a realistic expectation of significant profit.
Profit – it's the bottom line, for us both!
There's a 'right' amount of money to spend to achieve the required ROI. Otherwise you should spend nothing at all – there's no middle ground.
And we never lose sight of the fact that you're doing this to make marketing make money.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina's attorney general says it is too early for the state to sue the federal government over new driver's licenses.
Attorney General Henry McMaster's opinion released Monday says the state should show the Department of Homeland Security what it already has done to make driver's licenses more secure following the September 11 terror attacks. McMaster says that will show the federal agency that the state is meeting the standards of the new law, known as Real ID.
Governor Mark Sanford has been considering whether to seek an extension to comply with the law. The deadline is next Monday.
If Sanford doesn't seek one, South Carolinians will have to use a passport to board airplanes or go through extra security checks.

Washington DC — PRESIDENT Barack Obama was sworn-in officially for his second and final term in the Blue Room of the White House on Sunday surrounded by a small group of family and friends, in accordance with the US constitution, which states that the American head of state will be inaugurated on January 20 of the year following his or her election.
He won the election on November 20, 2012 against Republican challenger, Mitt Romney.However, this year that date fell on a Sunday when most government offices are closed.
The celebrations therefore, were moved to Monday (today) when the president is expected to deliver his inaugural speech and go through a mock-swearing-in ceremony at the House of Congress or Capitol Hill, mostly for the benefit of spectators and the many people who have come here from other states and around the world to witness the second inauguration of the first African-American president in American history.
The oath of office was delivered by Chief Justice John Roberts, the same person who ran President Obama through the historic ceremony four years ago and somewhat along the way bungled the wording of the serious ritual, forcing the president to take the oath a second time in the momentous and euphoric moment in the game of political power never before seen in this great nation that still grapples with a thorny racial question.
"I voted for him last November because I care for social issues and I agree with his stand on those issues," said Marielle Young, a student at Georgetown University here. She did not vote four years ago as she was still young but her sympathies were with him. The economy is still struggling from a damp period but no one can achieve everything, she added.
Arguably, the celebrations this year do not compare to 2009 for obvious reasons, including the fact that the first can never be compared to the second but the occasion is no lesser historic. First, it proves Obama's victory four years ago was not a fluke but the outcome of hard won strategic campaigning both in the party primaries and the presidential poll that followed.
Yesterday's ceremony was an irrefutable signature of Obama's acceptance by the American people, a political shift with global implications in a prejudice filled world.
A small number of individuals will no doubt remain racist but overall, Americans have written a new chapter in their national life and character and underscored a new demographic that President Obama, though not exactly its founder, he is no doubt its most profound architect.
Observers note that Democrats had never won in predominantly white Virginia, which borders Washington DC but they took the state this time around because of changed demographics.
There are more than before a growing population of Hispanics and Indians, who traditionally tend to vote Democrat. But perhaps Obama's biggest legacy was his success to steer through Congress legislation that gave Americans universal healthcare, a dream the president had at the time he wrote his political autography, The Audacity of Hope, long before he even became the Democratic presidential nominee.
He was sworn-in holding two Bibles, one that belonged to President Abraham Lincoln (Obama's role model and the man he adores as a leader) and the other that was once used by Rev.
Martin Luther King Jr, the black civil rights leader, ironically martyred for an American social justice Prophet, moments after he had delivered his iconic "I have a Dream" speech at the footsteps of the Lincoln Memorial Library at the Mall, about a mile straight ahead from the Capitol, where Obama took his second oath of office.
Obama's inaugural address is expected to shed light on his policy priorities in his second term. The president, whose mother was a white American and his father came from Kenya, paid little attention to Africa in his first term. Admittedly, Obama is a "world president" that everyone wants a piece of but perhaps it is time for Africa also to benefit more from his "Audacity of Hope" and "Dreams from My Father", the two books he wrote to accentuate his political views and philosophy.
President Obama was born in Hawaii and has also made history as the first American president from the isles, driving home the awakening that the continents away Pacific archipelago, was not merely a symbolic 51st state of the US but an equal partner in the "commonwealth" of the world's leading superpower.
Earlier in the day, Vice-President Joe Biden was first to be sworn-in at the Naval Observatory by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first Hispanic and only fourth woman to hold the post. She was also the first Hispanic person to administer a Vice-Presidential inaugural oath of office.She told a TV interviewer before: "it will feel a little surreal."

PRELIMINARY results from a study carried out by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) show that farmers in the Philippines who work with pesticides suffer abnormally high levels of ailments of the heart, lungs and eyes.
The study, begun in 1989, is the first major investigation of the ways that pesticides affect public health and the environment in the tropics. A similar study aimed at measuring the effects of pesticides used by potato farmers in Ecuador is now being planned by the International Potato Centre in Peru.
The IRRI found that 55 per cent of the farmers suffered abnormalities in their eyes, 54 per cent had abnormal cardiovascular systems and 41 per cent had abnormal lungs. The study also compared men and women and found that 83 per cent of the men but only 17 per cent of women produced abnormal electrocardiograms. All of the chest X-rays from the men ...

US 'Bought' Jordan Escalation in Afghanistan
Posted By Jason Ditz On January 31, 2011 @ 7:07 pm In News | Comments Disabled
Amongst the major escalations in the war in Afghanistan came the Jordanian government, which committed a growing amount of troops to the nation in 2010. The contribution, however, did not come for free.
Rather, the Obama Administration came at the cost of increased aid to the Jordanian government, in effect meaning the government was renting out its troops to the US as mercenaries to play a ro le in the ongoing Afghan occupation.
Jordanian officials appeared quite keen on offering major escalations in January of 2010, having already made it clear that any such offers would require payment in this regard.
Indeed, Ambassador Beecroft saw that the Jordanian government was so eager to make such a deal that he predicted that the US could secure the troops "at cost." It is unclear, of course, exactly how much the Jordanian troops actually cost, so it is unclear if the US managed to get such a "good deal" on its troops.

Close-up of the Differential
Some of you asked for a closeup of the differential created by Steve H. Well, here you go...
(Photos of detailed parts are difficult... sorry if these aren't what you asked for, but they were the best I could get with the camera I was using.)
CORRECTION: These closeups are from a bot built by Bryan... the differential is slightly different from the one built by Steve. Sorry for the confusion. I didn't have access to the original differential on Steve's bot to photograph...

YOU might lean into your fridge to wipe it down with disinfectant - but an aerosol chamber used to infect lab animals with potential bioweapons agents? Not such a good idea, as researchers at Texas A&M University in College Station found out last year when one of them contracted the bacterial infection brucellosis.
Worse, the university failed to report the incident to the federal government until details were forced into the open last week by the Sunshine Project, a pressure group based in Austin, Texas.
The disease is caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella, and normally affects animals such as sheep, cattle and pigs. In people, its symptoms are similar to flu, and in rare cases it can be fatal. The researcher was diagnosed with brucellosis in April 2006. The infection was traced to an incident on 9 February 2006 in which apparatus used to infect mice was cleaned ...

Utilities face unique security challenges in that they cannot possibly track every possible "leak" in their distribution grids using smart meters alone. With yearly losses estimated to exceed US$200 billion worldwide and growing, utilities are under pressure to reduce risk and improve safety, increase efficiency and improve financial performance.
Owning a business can be an expensive venture and when you're just starting out as a small business bills for electricity, water, the Internet, phone lines etc. can rack up pretty quickly so it's always a smart idea to try and cut costs wherever you can. After all every little bit helps.
I'd venture to say that many, if not most, things in life are not planned and happen beyond our control. Education, relationships, families, and vocation occupy the majority of our lives. Some plans work out, and some don't. That rule applies to me. I started my career as a graphic designer, and now I work for a demand response company. It's best not to question these changes, but embrace them.
Many people value outside-the-box thinking, especially for its ability to see a new pathway forward. If you find yourself lacking in innovation, try implementing a disciplined approach to analyzing the order of things. What was once hidden may now be seen. A house may become a device, and so too a substation.
The pressures of running a fleet leave managers little time for strategic changes because they spend most of their workday reacting to the constant demands of tracking and maintaining field vehicles and keeping technicians on schedule. To make things as efficient as possible, managers have learned that they need to easily capture and consolidate vast quantities of data produced by in-vehicle devices and the handhelds of mobile workers.
The evolution of the utility industry has been pretty stagnant over the last hundred years or so. Power plants generate the electricity, it gets sent to your house through a network of wires and transformers, and the utility company sends you a bill every month.
For those who have been watching the ongoing climate debate about global warming, the increasingly hot summer months are a poignant reminder of that phenomenon whenever the monthly power bill arrives in the mailbox.
Geographic remoteness and poor connectivity mean many electricity generators encounter issues when attempting to keep remote sites or workers up-to-date with essential data.
If you've participated in a demand response (DR) event before, you probably have a reduction strategy already in place. But what if you're forgetting something? What if there are more ways to reduce energy and get an ever larger payment?
The increased integration of machine to machine (M2M) technology is providing the field service industry with excellent opportunities to offer new services and increase revenue, while enhancing the overall quality of the customer experience.

In a bid to address security issues along Cote d'Ivoire's border with Liberia where deadly clashes have been reported recently, the Ivorian government has supplied new and sophisticated equipment to the battalion stationed at the common border, the national daily Fraternite Matin reported in Abidjan.
Quoting Ivorian Defense Paul Koffi Koffi, the paper said the equipment which comprise army vehicles and other logistical support materials, will allow the Ivorian troops to respond to attacks such as the one that claimed the lives of seven peacekeepers last month.
"Today our army has the minimum...They are more mobile now and able to react more timely in the event of attack," the paper quoted Koffi Koffi as saying Monday during the handover ceremony in Abidjan.

Terrible stuff , I mean horrible.But it says RAPE was she raped or just treated terribly wrong
@MrJishyrey69 Im sure they didn't get fired.. After I got pulled over last year and being accused of lying and searched without any consent, the pig told me that most cops have criminal records themselves and his partner was charged with assault.. Why would he tell me this? & yes its true. im so sick of this 'government'.. Lazy, lying, and straight peutrid. They're no better than any crack-addicted con-artist. But they act as though they always obey the laws they outlandishly enforce. fuck 5-0!
Late one night a woman was walking home when a man grabbed her and dragged her into the bushes.
"Help me! Help me!" she screamed. "I'm being robbed!"
"You ain't being robbed" her attacker interrupted. "You're being screwed!"
The woman looked down at her attacker as he unzipped his jeans. "If you're screwing me with that," she fumed, "I am being robbed!"
stupid cunts they dont know anything except how to be a fucking moron i wouldnt be surprised if these cops got SEVERELY beaten up, if i ever met them i would spit in their faces, fucking scum, you shouldnt treat women like that, infact you shouldnt treat anyone like that
fucking disgusting!!!
So is there any reason NOT to just start blasting cops whenever you see them?
mmmmmmmmm… *lick lips*
this is sick as fuck but is not rape!
@MyGwendel Well, Thankfully for the world, I'm going to college to major in law enforcement, so there will be at least one police officer who has 0 intentions of abusing his powers.
@Sololife14 videotaping is mandatory, it's supposed to protect the officers from any allegation of misconduct or abuse, but most cops are so stupid they end up taping themselves doing all kinds of shit they aren't supposed to. cops aren't allowed to have an IQ over 50, so…you know…these things will happen.
@MrJishyrey69 lol, no, when cops get in trouble all that happens is paid "leave" while an investigation takes place. in other words, they are REWARDED with a PAID vacation, at YOUR (taxpayer's) expense. but i hope she got a huge financial settlement.
get used to seeing a lot more of this. it's getting worse, not better.
what is she screaming?
something's missing in this story. this woman is no shrinking violet.
Cant deny its right there but why so many boys only girls were sepposed to strip no guys police is so stupid
Main question running through my mind… Why would police officers need to record a strip search? Not like you can really call that a strip search… Didn't see any "searching" done, just violation…
This is why the Police have to be stopped. They are going to far and have become the new Mafia.
here down south we dont call the cops we jerk u up take u to a mtn and tie u to a tree a leave and its a system that works very well no cops no lawyers just rope and a tree in the middle of nowhere
This is what happens when you give idiot bullies guns and a badge. This happens all the time. I hate fucking pigs.
what fucking filth.
how the hell were they video taping this
@mattz1010 Please define rape, because apparently I haven't any idea what rape means.
@louie77 Very intelligent input. Your response is so very clever! Such a smart girl you are! So brilliant! You should run for president!
I'm just sayin- cops nationally will eventually be targeted for murder (just like in Mexico) for their abhorrent behavior. There won't be many cops left after all is said & done (at least with the ones that have the balls to admit their cops) lmao

text: Becoming a parent is an opportunity to participate in one of the deepest emotional experiences that life offers. The arrival of a baby tends to bring with it an increased sense of responsibility and an upsurge of all our fears and hopes. As parents we have the extraordinary task of nurturing an entirely dependent, entirely trusting, brand new, miraculous little self through the eighteen or twenty some years of childhood and adolescence. Babies commit us to nurture the seeds of a future adulthood. Most of us long to provide our babies with a solid enough emotional foundation that they will be able to grow up and have satisfying adult lives of their own. As parents we bring as much to the experience of parenting as we are able. Most of us want the fact that we deeply love our children to be able to be enough to insure that they will grow up successfully. While we know if we need help learning how to bathe or feed our infants, we can find help. However, we tend to think that because we have had the experience of being a child that grew up, we should know how to parent the emotional life of a child without help. If we do get help with parenting, even most parenting classes tend to focus on how to get children to behave, without abusing them. And if you are pregnant or have an infant the tendency is to think that you don't even need to learn about parenting skills until the "terrible two's." Due to the stress of modern life, it's easy to get caught up in just dealing with the problem that comes up in the moment. However, this creates the danger of patchwork parenting. Understanding the emotional development of our infants and what they need from us to nurture their emotional life will greatly increase our ability to give them the best possible start. While it is true that some of parenting is instinctive, it is also true that much is learned. This understanding is relatively new, and our information can now be updated. We have learned so much from psychology and especially infant researchers in the last twenty-five years. Through observation with new technology, we are the first generation to know about life before birth, witnessing many aspects of intelligence at work. It used to accepted that intelligence was located only in the brain -- that intelligence meant thinking, and since the brain was not fully developed until after birth, there was no intelligence or awareness before birth. Now we know that consciousness begins before birth. What does this mean for parents? It means we have a special responsibility to treat our babies as conscious intelligent beings from the beginning. And since they come into their relationship with us from a state of total dependency and helplessness ready to love us and trust us completely. We need to honor that trust with gentleness and respect.

Algiers — "There is no solution to the issue of Western Sahara out of the organization of a referendum on self-determination of the Sahrawi people," confirmed Saturday in Algiers Mr. Khatri Addouh, Speaker for the Saharawi National Council and Head of the Saharawi negotiating delegation with Morocco.
"It is out of question to design a solution (the Saharawi conflict) apart from those relating to the holding of a free, fair and transparent referendum on self-determination for the Saharawi people," said Mr. Khatri, during a meeting with the press held at the Saharawi media centre in Algiers.
He said in this context that "the Moroccan autonomy project could not achieve success," because, he said, "it is in total contradiction with UN decisions and resolutions on Western Sahara."
"Moroccan autonomy proposal has convinced, ultimately, no country in the world," he said.
Recalling that Western Sahara has been under Moroccan occupation for 37 years, he urged the international community "to live up to his 1991 promise, which is to conduct a referendum in exchange for the cessation of hostilities."
"The Saharawi people awaited the referendum ever since, but they got impatient. Also, the absence of international community has caused a feeling of frustration among the Saharawis," he said.
He stressed, in this context, that the Saharawi people "call now on the international community to act so that the settlement process of the conflict with Morocco is completed on the basis of the respect for right of the Saharawi people to self-determination."
Responding to a question about the outcome of the negotiations between POLISARIO Front and Morocco, Mr. Addouh said that the two sides have held four informal rounds of negotiations and nine other preliminary "without reaching any solution."
He, therefore, said that all Moroccan attempts to undermine the efforts of the UN Secretary General's Personal Envoy Western Sahara, Christopher Ross, for a solution based on the right to self-determination of the Saharawi people "were doomed to failure."
He noted that Christopher Ross, who conducted from 27 October to 15 November 2012 a tour to countries of the region (Morocco, Western Sahara, Algeria and Mauritania) and to Europe, presented on 29 November 2012 his report to the Security Council, in which he stressed that the situation in the occupied territories of Western Sahara "remains very worrisome and should remain on the radar of international community."
Mr. Addouh, on other hand, expressed willingness of the Polisario Front to cooperate with Mr. Ross, who intends to hold wide consultations, internationally and regionally, to explain his new roadmap to find a solution to Western Sahara, instead of convening immediately another round of talks between the Polisario Front and Morocco.
Christopher Ross said last Thursday, after the presentation of his report to the Security Council, that he would start consultations "key international stakeholders" in the Saharawi question, before engaging, as he said, in "shuttle diplomacy" through several visits to countries of the region including the Western Sahara.

An Interstate 26 traffic stop led Johnson City police Wednesday to find a loaded gun, resulting in a Kingsport man's arrest.
Leonte A.Ward, 27, 237 Fontana St., Kingsport, was stopped for speeding on I-26, police said in a news release.
A convicted felon, Ward was driving on a revoked license, and police found a loaded handgun in his possession.
About 10:15 p.m., police spotted Ward's BMW going 76 mph in a 55 mph zone and pulled him over, according to a report.
A records check indicated Ward's license had been revoked and he had been charged with fleeing from law enforcement and reckless endangerment in 2008. He also had been convicted of a felony involving the use of force or violence, police said in the report.
Police found a 9 mm handgun near the car's console.
Ward was charged with driving on a revoked license and unlawful weapon possession by a convicted felon.
He was jailed in the Washington County Detention Center on $11,000 bond pending a Sessions Court appearance this morning.

What a load of bull most "modern distros" are not even shipping with Xorg 7.1 Gentoo does not have it unless you go out of your way to get it, Fedora the same, Ubuntu no, Debian no I image the same for most others. The vast majority of Nvidia cards work fine with the current Xorg 7.0 and when Nvidia gets around to shipping the next driver in a little while it will support Xorg 7.1 so give it a break with the FUD.
To the OP I would go with the 6800 out of your two choices listed as it has the DDR3 and 256bit memory interface. I have a 5900 I got used that I am very happy with so if you thinking the second hand route maybe consider something like it.

With the best cardio exercises you are not twiddling your thumbs, you are moving the large muscles in your body which require a lot of oxygen which is circulated in your blood. When you get your blood pumping, your heart rate rises to pump the blood to your working muscles. If you are out of shape and look to get back into it, your extremities may fatigue before your heart does. If you have the knowledge about which cardio machines are best for your goals, you can maximize your cardiovascular exercise.

Just Interface.Megatron was a damn brute. A glorified, inane, far too powerful, fool that held no shame in beating his SIC in front of everyone just to humiliate him, he was sure. When something or someone needed to be dealt with, his Lord and Master had no problem doing it for all to see.Just Interface. by CrazyDorkHere
So when Starscream was informed that he had to speak with said brute privately, on edge didn't even begin to describe how he felt.
The hall echoed with his ped falls just as his processor did with the number of things he could be punished for, his wings so stiff to avoid their anxious twitching that his backstrut was in pain. If murder was no secret, then it was a wonder what hidden truths the tyrant kept. What kind of treatment could be so horrendous that it put Megatron to shame? Primus, the seeker couldn't even think of something he had done recently, something that he hadn't already been forgiven for. No rules had been broken that Megatron didn't already know about—Well, exc

There is a reason our humble motorcycle blog is called Asphalt & Rubber, as we tend to stick to the street side of the motorcycling equation. Growing up in a house where motorcycles were verboden, I often think that I'm the only person "in the industry" that didn't grow up riding a dirt bike (something I hope to rectify this year, so more on that later). Still, I wanted to give some love to our friends across the bridge, as BRD Motorcycles is about to unveil the next motorcycle in its electric line-up: the BRD RedShift MX.
As the name implies, the MX version is not terribly dissimilar from the BRD RedShift SM prototype that I rode at Infineon a couple months ago, and will make its public debut at the Indy Dealer Expo later this week. Changing out the brakes, sprockets, wheels, and tires, the conversion from SM to MX seems fairly straight-forward with the BRD RedShift (I'd expect to see some kind of kit available from BRD for this). Perhaps that's because the digital drivetrain is where most of the magic happens as far as making the RedShift a dirt-clawing demon instead of a street-chewing monster (can you gasoline motor do that?).

Abuja — A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja yesterday set aside October 8, this year, for hearing in a motion by the world pharmaceutical giant, Pfizer Incorporated, seeking to quash a report by the Investigating Committee on the Clinical Trial of Trovan conducted in Kano in 1996 which indicted it (Pfizer).
The report of the committee sought to be quashed indicted Pfizer of maiming or and killing in 1996, not fewer than 99 children afflicted by bacterial meningitis in Kano through alleged illegal experimentation of its products, Trovafloxacin Mesylate, (Trovan) on them.
The government has not only charged the pharmaceutical giant to court, it has also taken out a writ, asking for $7billion damages against the pharmaceutical firm.
But before hearing could commence in the two cases, Pfizer played a smart one by filing a certiorari application seeking to nullify the indictment entered against it which formed the basis of both the criminal and the civil suits pending in court.
Already, the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has granted it leave to pursue the order of certiorari against the government.
The motion by Pfizer to quash the report came up for mention yesterday before Justice Anwuli Chikere.
The Federal Government which was served all the processes in court yesterday has filed a memorandum of appearance in the matter.
But it requested for time to respond to issues raised in the motion by Pfizer in the interest of justice.
The trial judge, Justice Anwuli Chikere has however fixed October 8, this year as return date in view of the request by the Federal Government.
Chief Anthony Idige (SAN) and Damien Dodo (SAN) led a team of lawyers to push Pfizer's case yesterday in court while former Attorney-General of Lagos State, Prof. Yemi Osibajo (SAN) is representing the Federal Government.
Osibajo has already served a notice on Pfizer to challenge its legal bid to nullify the indictment against it.
Pfizer in the motion is asking the court for an order of Certiorari removing the March 2001 report of the Investigative Committee on the clinical trial of Trovafloxacin (TROVAN) by the company into the court for the purpose of quashing it.
It is also asking for a declaration that the recommendation of the Committee that the company be sanctioned was in excess of its authority and or jurisdiction or competence.

Raggers and Braggers
This section is to make you aware of well-known raggers and braggers.
Since this is the first time this section is being printed, we will tell
you what classifies people as raggers and braggers.
In the future issues the top raggers and braggers will be listed in this newsletter to let the SysOps know who not to let on their board, or to atleast keep an eye on.
A ragger is someone who will put someone else down for something.
The person might post a message asking a novice question about hacking and phreaking, or may say something that is completely wrong, and a ragger will put the other person down for he said, posted, etc.
The ones that usually classify in this category are the ones that think they know it all and consider themselves right no matter what anyone says. Most of the users that use codes and consider themselves a master phreaker usually become raggers.
A bragger is someone who either does or thinks he does know everything, and puts it upon himself to tell the whole world that he knows it all. This person is also one who thinks he is better than everyone else and he believes he is Elite, and no one else is.
People who tend to do this are those who have, for some reason, become well-known in the underworld, and as a result become a bragger. Those usually not too well-known will not tend to brag as much as those who think everyone would love to be their friend and be like them.

Next summer's weather bulletins in Britain might also include forecasts of the levels of harmful solar radiation expected during the day. Forecasts of this kind are already made in Australia. The warnings enable people to shield themselves from ultraviolet radiation that can cause skin cancer, especially in fair-skinned individuals.
Last week, the National Radiological Protection Board released graphic data showing levels of UV reaching ground level in southern England and Scotland during the first week of the Wimbledon tennis tournament
The board is collecting data on levels of UV penetration at three sites in Britain and is to build three more monitoring stations this month. In collaboration with government departments and the Meteorological Office, it hopes to generate forecasts of UV levels by combining its own data with ...

We all know the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Really? That might work for a kitchen appliance, but for workplace processes and procedure, it doesn't work at all.
To set yourself apart from other managers and position yourself to move into a leadership position, you need to ignite your "improvement gene."
We all know people who love to tinker with things — trying to make them better, bigger, faster, more efficient, easier to use. That's what "innovation" is and it's different than "invention." The reason innovation is such a huge buzzword in the business literature today is because if you or your organization isn't innovative, you can be sure someone else is. And that "someone" is usually your competition.
SEE ALSO: Everything you never learned in college about managing
To stay competitive, you need to constantly monitor your department's processes and procedures for ways to improve them. If you don't know where to start, try this:
1. Monitor
You first need to know what's being done, how it's being done, and why it's being done. If you don't know the answers to these questions, you need to ask.
Who should you ask? Start with your employees and work your way up and out. If you're a visual person, draw yourself a flow diagram for each process so you can clearly see what starts the process, how it moves, and where it goes after your department is finished with it.
2. Evaluate and analyze
Where do team members or customers get frustrated? Are there bottlenecks in any part of the process? What causes the most delays or money? Use "Root Cause Analysis" or "The 5 Whys Analysis" (you can Google these) to get to the root cause. Many "Improvements" fail because someone is trying to solve the wrong problem.

Reviews for the Gigabyte U2442T-CF1
Source: IT Reviews
The Gigabyte U2442T-CF1 has most of the features that a high-end power user wants, including multimedia and 3D benchmark performance, a 10-point touch screen, and comfortable keyboard and chassis. It's up to you to decide if the few tradeoffs are worth it, or relegate the system to also-ran status.

Rating: Total score: 80%
Source: PC Mag
As a power users' system, the Gigabyte U2442T-CF1 is a good choice, though the tradeoffs that that had to be made show through if you focus on any given feature. The screen resolution is far lower than the Editors' Choice Acer Aspire S7-391-6411, necessitated by the inclusion of discrete Nvidia graphics by Gigabyte. The U2442T-CF1 had to fit in an ultrabook chassis with a smaller screen, so it doesn't last as long on battery life as the Vizio CT15T-B1. To save a little money here and there, the U2442T-CF1 doesn't have 5GHz Wi-Fi. To be sure there are welcome niceties as well, like the two-year warranty and lack of bloatware. The Gigabyte U2442T-CF1 is a very nice laptop, but not necessarily the best, so the Acer Aspire S7 holds on to its high-end ultrabook crown.

Single Review, online available, Very Long, Date: 06/20/2013
Model: The Gigabyte U2442T-CF1 does not stand out from the crowd of 13 inch ultrabooks currently on the market. It looks like any other machine with its brushed metal lid. But it is a little heavier at 1.8 kg. It is well built, keyboard and touchpad are responsive and comfortable to use for long periods. The display sports a 1366 x 768 resolution, most similar machines at similar price points feature a full HD screen. Under the hood is the third generation Intel Core i5-3230M processor, 8GB of RAM and the Nvidia GeForce GT 730. Also included is a combination of a regular HDD for storage and a SSD as a boot drive which means ultra fast boot times.
With the discrete graphics from Nvidia, this ultrabook slightly sets itself apart from others in terms of gaming and handling other more graphic intensive tasks. This is also the machine to consider for those who need a machine for graphic editing. The Gigabyte U2442T-CF1 might performs great overall, but unfortunately it's powered by a third generation Intel Core, which means it has none of the power saving goodness of the Haswell architecture. The battery will only last approximately 5 hours of moderate use. This is decent enough, but won't do for users who will be working away from power outlets for most of the day. Overall, the Gigabyte U2442T-CF1 is a nice enough machine, but there are better options out there.
