1. On the QGIS menu bar click the Plugins > Fetch Python Plugins item:
2. A new dialog opens and tries to fetch all Python plugins from 3rd-party repositories. It won't be able to fetch all the plugins and should hang. Click the Abort Fetching button when it begins to hang:
3. Now you should see a list of available Python plugins for install. The tutorial authors have already setup your system to fetch 3rd-party repository plugins. If the tutorial authors hadn't done this there would be less plugins listed here. Click on the Repository tab. This lists all the plugin repositories that are being searched for plugins. At the very bottom is a 3rd Party Repositories button. If you click this button QGIS will begin searching 3rd-party repositories for plugins:
4. We are going to add a new repository. This repository will contain example code for this workshop. Click the Add button at the bottom right of the Repository tab. Then add in the following url and a name for this repository:
You can also check out the repository with your web browser
5. If you go back to the Plugins tab you can filter for foss4g2011 in the repositories drop down next to the filter textbox:
6. Select each plugin listed under this repository and click Install Plugin at the bottom right:
7. In the bash shell or folder browser navigate to /home/qgis/.qgis/python/plugins . The plugin code should now be located here:

Eat by the Numbers
Sure, you could just focus on calories. But by eating the right amounts of the right nutrients, you'll speed your results without feeling like you're on a diet.
You probably don't need to be sold on the virtues of protein, since it's the raw material for muscle growth. But it also helps extinguish your appetite and aids in fat loss.
The formula: Eat 1 gram for every pound of your target body weight. If you want to weigh 180 pounds, you'll eat 180 grams of protein. One gram of protein is about 4 calories. So to calculate the calories you'll be eating from protein, multiply the number of grams by 4. In this case, that's 720 calories.
For years, this nutrient was considered a dietary demon. However, recent studies clearly show that it's not fat that inflates your belly, but too many calories, period. And, it turns out, fat may actually keep you from overeating because it makes you feel full. The end result: You stop eating sooner and stay satisfied longer.
The formula: Eat half a gram for every pound of your target body weight. If your goal is to weigh 180 pounds, that'd be 90 grams. And since 1 gram of fat has about 9 calories, that's 810 calories from fat. This will be about 40 percent of your total calories.
Carb-containing foods not only taste good, but can also be rich in vitamins and minerals. So you don't need to eliminate them altogether; you just need to make sure you don't eat them in excess. And consuming the right amounts of protein and fat will make that goal far easier, since both keep hunger at bay. That's one key reason Aragon places a greater priority on protein and fat and leaves the remainder of your calories for carbs.
The formula: Add your calories from protein and fat, and subtract that total from your allotted daily calories. Using the 180-pound example, that leaves you with 630 calories. This is the amount of calories you can eat from carbs. As protein does, carbs provide about 4 calories per gram—so divide your carb calories by four to determine how many grams of carbs you can eat. In this case, it's about 158 grams.

Modern Family F-Bomb Outrages Parents Television Council and Others
We'll give the Parents Television Council this: the parents activist group — which disapproves of almost all the shows we love — is ever-vigilant. Modern Family Season 3, Episode 13: "Little Bo Bleep" hasn't even aired yet, but PTC is already up in arms over the plotline about Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) accidentally learning the f-bomb.
While Lily never actually says the word — it's bleeped, and Aubry actually said "fudge" during filming — the PTC not amused by the joke.
"It is certainly in poor taste," Melissa Henson, director of communications and public education for the PTC, told FOX411. "The more we see and hear this kind of language on television, the more acceptable and common it will become in the real world."
It's not just the use of the word she objects to, of course: it's who's saying it. "It's not suitable language for a child that young in the real world, and it's not suitable language for a child that young on television, either."
The PTC isn't alone in their objections. McKay Hatch, college student and founder of the No Cussing Club (which has an impressive 35,000 remembers across the US), is advocating to get the episode pulled from the air. "If we don't [stop the episode from airing], at least ABC knows that people all over the world don't want to have a 2-year-old saying the 'F-bomb' on TV," he explained.
Show creator Steve Levitan justified the "very natural story" to EW by pointing out that "as parents, we've all been through this."
We agree with Levitan: It's not appropriate for a young child to curse, but how parents deal with their kids learning bad words is an interesting question ripe for exploration. It fits perfectly with Modern Family's family-focused comedy, and since Aubrey didn't actually say the word, no two-year-olds were harmed in the making of this episode.
What do you think?
Catch the episode on Wednesday, January 18 at 9 pm ET/PT on ABC.

The Starkville Lady Yellowjackets gave head coach Anna Albritton more of what she was looking for during Friday night's Class 5A, Region 2 match against New Hope.
However in soccer, like most sporting events, it takes two successful halves to come out with a victory.
The Lady Jackets fell behind the Lady Trojans 1-0 at halftime and ended up dropping a 2-1 decision at the Mississippi State football practice field.
Following the match, Albritton was disappointed with the result, which left her shaking her head as to why.
"If we had played the first half like we did the second half, it would have been different," Albritton said. "I don't know what it was. Being on turf, it was a little bit faster and we had to chase the ball down a lot more than we normally do.
"I don't think the level of play was as good as the first time we played. Anytime you have a loss, it's disappointing. With the point difference and knowing we were going to be district champs, which we are, I just wish we had come out with a win."
After New Hope had taken the lead, Noa Hardin scored a goal for Starkville early in the second half to tie the match.
The Lady Trojans came right back, got the deciding goal and held off the Lady Jackets at the end. Starkville had some shots at goal late, but were sent off the mark.
Despite the loss, Starkville still finished the regular season as division champs with a 3-1 mark and has a 6-5-3 overall record with several losses coming to some of the best teams in the state.
"It's bittersweet because I wanted to win," Albritton said. "This is a good group of girls and we had to play some young ones (Friday night). I had one out of town and another that had to leave at halftime, so I had to throw a freshman in there that didn't have a lot of experience. There were a lot of factors."
The Lady Jackets host the first round of the Class 5A playoffs next week. The match will be played either Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on the results between Saltillo and Oxford."View more articles in:

OUT in the endless grey of the Atlantic Ocean, a vessel drifts alone. The only sound in the dining room is the wind. The only smell in the galley is rust. The cabins that once held 100 passengers lie empty; there's not a soul aboard. Along the bow, a row of drip-stained letters spells its name: Lyubov Orlova.
The Orlova is a modern-day ghost ship. It disappeared on 4 February 2013, en route to the Dominican Republic, without power or crew. The loss triggered a global hunt involving coastguards hoping to find the ship before it ran ashore or struck an oil rig; the coordinators of a new satellite system with a point to prove; and even a team of would-be treasure seekers. Each had their own prize in mind: prevention of disaster, reputation and glory, or a salvage bounty worth a million dollars. How hard could it be?

Sprint's iDEN Network Shuts Down Tonight
Article Comments
Replying to: lte on 800 mhz by patwackp
Re: lte on 800 mhz
There are no devices on the market that use 800Mhz LTE. The current devices that use 1900Mhz LTE will NOT be upgradable to 800Mhz LTE since there is no chipset for that in the device, there is however 800Mhz EVDO chipset and when and if Sprint enables EVDO 800Mhz in your area, you will take advantage of that. Sprint is opening up their spectrum blocks in the 1900Mhz for LTE as well as more and more towers go up for LTE.

THE MMD National Executive Committee (NEC) has endorsed the expulsion of national secretary Richard Kachingwe from the party.
Senga Hill Member of Parliament (MP) Kapembwa Simbao has since been appointed to act until an election is conducted.
MMD national chairperson Kabinga Pande announced at a media briefing in Lusaka yesterday that the NEC resolved on Monday to expel Major Kachingwe.
"Yesterday (Monday), December 3, 2012, NEC met and made the following decision that Ambassador Richard Kachingwe has been expelled from the party with immediate effect," Mr Pande said.
He said the letter Maj Kachingwe wrote to invalidate MMD leader Nevers Mumba's presidency was illegal because he was not authorised by the NEC or national convention to do so.
Mr Pande said the decision to expel Maj Kachingwe followed a petition brought by party MPs to Dr Mumba demanding the immediate removal of the national secretary.
"The MPs charged that Maj Kachingwe was highly compromised by the Patriotic Front (PF) Government based on his own confessions and conduct.
"The president tasked our two vice-presidents and myself as chairman to interview Major Kachingwe concerning the serious allegations raised against him," he said.
Mr Pande, who is Kasempa MP, said the committee reported back to Dr Mumba who later called Maj Kachingwe to discuss the concerns of the petition.
He said the MMD MPs who brought the petition also threatened that they would withdraw their monthly contributions to the secretariat until Maj Kachingwe was removed from the office.
In his discussion with Maj Kachingwe, Mr Pande said, Dr Mumba told him "to take leave for three months on suspension" while the NEC looked into the case and that they all agreed with that decision.
Unfortunately, Mr Pande said, the administrative procedure angered Maj Kachingwe who single-handedly purported to invalidate a democratically-elected MMD leader.
Mr Pande described Maj Kachingwe's decision as a singular act of indiscipline which was unprecedented in Zambia's political history.
"Arising from this gross misconduct, the NEC was left with no option but to expel Maj Kachingwe with immediate effect according to article 19N of the party," Mr Pande said.
On reports of MMD being divided, he said Maj Kachingwe's matter was purely a case of discipline.
Mr Pande said the former ruling party was strong and united under Dr Mumba's leadership, adding that he was democratically elected.
He said Dr Mumba resigned from the Reform Party and joined MMD where he won elections with about 70 per cent votes.
Mr Pande said the MMD could not fail to pay the Registrar of Societies the balance of K90 million if it managed to clear K300 million.
Speaking at the same event, Dr Mumba said he regretted the physical attacks by some MMD youths on Maj Kachingwe on Saturday.
MMD vice-president for politic al affairs Michael Kaingu said the party would continue to support Dr Mumba's leadership.
Dr Kaingu said if Maj Kachingwe was aggrieved with the election of Dr Mumba, he should have taken the matter to court earlier.
On the whereabouts of MMD Die Hard youth wing national coordinator Bowman Lusambo following reports that police were looking for him, Dr Kaingu said the youth was free to go anywhere.

Traditional Healing
I seldom find it possible to spend more than an hour in Cape Town's city centre without being harassed by at least three eager "Traditional Specialist" flyer distributers standing on every street corner. In order to make my life (and their job) easier, I resign my self to being marketed at, and take the flyer that they hand me. Since actually reading one, I have actively sought out these distributers and have collected as many pamphlets as possible. For good reason.
The list of things that I find wrong with these leaflets and what they advertise grows with every one I read and I find it difficult deciding where to start. I will therefore begin with a short description of the flyers themselves. The general design format includes the name of the "Doctor" and their "qualification" in big colourful writing at the top of the A6 page, usually accompanied by pictures such as topless women, bunches of herbs or the star and crescent symbol of Islam. Beneath this lies a list of human ailments they claim to be able to cure followed by the details of how, where, and for how much these miraculous health restorations can be bought.
The initial flaw in the thought process that went into making these flyers presented itself to me as I read "sentences" like "We make cure women cant produce and be lovely to their partner" and "105Yr old papa in graveyard who cure all kind problems ask people they will tell you". Firstly, if someone took the trouble to print out what must be thousands of these flyers, could they not have spent five minutes on ensuring that what they were about to print was even remotely intelligible? Secondly, by advertising cures for witches, tokoloshes and cursed homes, it is clear that their target market is not white people, or indeed people who have not grown up believing in such things. Therefore, if they are trying to attract African people (who are far more likely to believe in the powers of Sangomas) why then do they bother printing these thousands of flyers in poor, badly constructed English?
My second problem with these "Healers" is the absolutely impossible and outrageous claims they make; the first of which being their "qualifications". "Doctor Haroona" "Professor M Raoul"; though I have not engaged in any of the services they offer, I can say with a great deal of confidence that none of these people have Masters Degrees or Doctorates to support their titles. The second flaw in the believability of their argument is the preposterous abilities they claim to possess: "We remove court cases"; "People with HIV/AIDS – this is your chance!"; "Penis enlargement, Tall, Large, big, strong or any shape or size". As of yet, there is no cure for HIV/AIDS and millions of dollars are spent each year on trying to find one. However, here in our own town, Prof Maria Aisha claims to have unlocked the mystery behind the cure to the greatest and most devastatingly wide-spread scourge affecting society today. Surely, if this were the case, I wouldn't be reading about it on a poorly constructed A6 pamphlet on Loop Street. Similarly, if one were able to decide the exact size and shape of one's penis, it would be exploited by people all over world; not to mention the fact that – due to South Africa's fine justice system – court cases cannot simply be "removed".
The last, slightly disturbing issue is the fact that each flyer I collected advertises a different "expert", all of whom are situated in the heart of Cape Town central. Some areas include Strand Street, Long Street, Loop Street and St. Georges Mall – all of which are prime land and extremely expensive to rent. If each consultation is only R50, the number of patients needed to pay the exorbitant monthly rent must be staggering. Yet, tempting offers such as "have a baby in seven days" and "hire short boys to attack your enemies" continue to draw people in and will more than likely do so for the foreseeable future.
1 Comments | "Traditional Healing" »
I had a penis problem and also saw all these flyers, I took the chance and went to one with proper spelling. I told me that I only need to pay the R850 3 days after because he ensured me that it works. I don't have the problem anymore and also gained a few cm "not bad" my GP could not sort this out for 2 years, Chief Joba did it in 2 days. and also I'm a white afrikaans male "concervative" .... just thought I would share this with your sceptical readers!

EAC understands that older people's choices and decisions about their care and housing involve financial considerations, and therefore we aim to provide, through EAC FirstStop Advice, as much information as we can to help our clients assess their options with a full understanding of any financial consequences.
Our Advisors are trained to be able to provide detailed information and guidance information about state benefits and entitlements, and to explain in outline the main types of commercial 'financial products' of particular relevance to older people. Our HousingCare website also provides similar information and explanations.
View our financial advice pages
Contact EAC FirstStop for financial advice on 0800 377 7070
Where our Advisors believe that a client might benefit from more specialist advice than we can provide, or advice more specific to their circumstances, we suggest that they consider seeking this elsewhere. We recommend the same to our website users.
For further information, advice or help claiming state benefits, we suggest one or more non-profit advisory agencies, perhaps including one of our FirstStop partner organisations. Should a client wish it, we will make a referral or signpost to one of more of these agencies.
Search EAC's directory of agencies that provide benefits advice
Contact EAC FirstStop Advice on 0800 377 7070 for details of agencies that provide benefits advice
For further information and advice about investments, insurances, equity release and other 'financial products', only regulated Independent Financial Advisers (IFAs) can provide this. However FirstStop Advisors can outline the framework of regulation, qualification and accreditation that exists in the UK, and should our client wish, we can provide details of local SOLLA accredited IFAs.
Read more about Independent Financial Advisors
Find an Independent Financial Advisor
We also explain the role of the Society of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA). Membership of SOLLA is open only to individual IFAs (not companies), and requires that they gain accreditation in advising older people. To our knowledge SOLLA is the only IFA trade body that requires its members to achieve such accreditation and to adhere to a professional Code of Practice.
To find out more about SOLLA, or for details of SOLLA members who cover your location and/or have relevant specialisms, contact us on 0800 377 7070 or:
Read more about SOLLA on its website
Find an IFA that is a member of SOLLA
We emphasise that we cannot recommend any individual SOLLA member, and also that EAC receives no reward of any kind for providing its telephone clients or website users with information about them or any other IFAs.
FirstStop's Live Chat service is now available on a regular basis 5 days a week.
This week sees the launch of an upgrade to EAC's popular online HOOP tool.

Has anyone else found that for the 36" oven, the materials list for the stand seems off? I haven't built it yet, but we were sizing the number of concrete blocks out yesterday for purchase and the numbers just didn't seem to add up...
Any thoughts?

London — In terms of widening Internet use, Africa faces several challenges including lowering the cost of both data use and device costs. The Alliance for Affordable Internet has sunk its teeth into getting developing country Internet prices down, Russell Southwood spoke to its Executive Director Sonia Jorge about the challenges and how she will tackle them.
The Alliance for Affordable Internet (A4AI) was set up as a coalition of private sector, public sector, and civil society organizations to focus on bringing down the cost of Internet use globally, particularly in poorer countries.
Its Honorary Chairperson is Dr Bitange Ndemo, former Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information and Communications, Kenya and its Executive Director is Sonia Jorge. She was previously Director of Research and Consulting at Pyramid Research.
What bought this very wide and diverse grouping together to look at this issue?
The overall objective was to have a coalition of global players to focus on policy and regulation reform to facilitate the process of bringing down Internet prices. There's still a lot of work to be done at the Policy and Regulatory level and we are one of several efforts across the globe to push prices down.
A lot of that reform needs be informed by the variety of perspectives represented in the coalition - the public sector, the private sector, civil society, and academia - because we need a strong evidence base with wide backing.
We are working with this multi-stakeholder approach at a country level for affordable Internet. In terms of research, we're looking at where there are key gaps and seeking to fill them as well as publicizing good practices.
You have a specific target in price terms?
We have a reference target of contributing to achieving the UN Broadband Commission's objective of Internet access costing 5% of per capita income.
This reference point is important for A4AI but it doesn't mean we'll be satisfied achieving it everywhere. It's not as low as we would like to but it's a good starting point in developing countries which are very much behind in this area. The 5% mark would be a great achievement but we want to work to go further than that.
So give us some comparisons between Africa and the rest of the world in terms of the 5% figure...
A: The ITU has done the research and in developing countries globally, fixed broadband is 1.7% of per capita income and for mobile broadband, 1.4%.
By contrast, for developing countries globally, fixed broadband is 30.1% of per capita income and 11-25% for mobile broadband. The variation in the latter depends on which plan you take out.
So if we look at the same figures in terms of specific countries for mobile broadband, in Mozambique it is 66% of per capita income; 26-48% in the Dominican Republic; 45% in China on a post-paid plan and 13-20% in Nigeria.
In Africa, affordability is far from being obtained and tends to be in the range of 20-30%. There are similar high costs in South East Asia and some countries in Latin America. All have very different realities but we're not satisfied with what's been achieved.
But how does that look for the people who are on US$2 a day?
This is a very large part of the global population and for them Internet prices at 5% of per capita income does still not make it affordable.
Some examples again arte useful: China's fixed broadband costs for this group are 38% and 25% for mobile broadband; in Colombia 30% for fixed and 48.9% for mobile broadband; Nigeria 46% for fixed and 21% for mobile broadband and Zambia 13.5% for fixed and 35% for mobile broadband.
Overall, mobile broadband costs are very high for the countries we looked at in this piece of research.
So how will you actually help bring prices down?
We are very much focusing on policy and regulatory reform that will allow prices to be reduced. All A4AI members - including country members - have endorsed our best practice recommendations and Government, the Private Sector and Civil Society are all involved.
We need to answer: What does it mean to have a healthy competitive market? Do the competitive dynamics work to push prices down? We need to have policy and regulatory frameworks ensuring this and to incentivize players to compete in lowering prices.
The second piece of what we need to do is to lower the cost structures in the industries, allowing them to pass on savings to the consumers. There is a string link between the cost structure and prices.
Those are the strategic arguments but how does this work in practice?
A: Through a very strong and clear infrastructure sharing framework to help reduce the investment required. But not only that but through sharing at the operational level. Experience shows that costs can be reduced and users benefit.
Mobile broadband is a very key element in delivering Internet in developing countries, particularly Africa. So another critical cost reduction areas is lowering the cost of mobile services.
We want to reduce the cost of spectrum and associated fees and through innovative uses of spectrum and other means find cost reductions.It needs to be possible for there to be experimentation and innovation that offer different options that will lead to lower prices. We need to support this kind of innovation.
What kind of innovation do you have in mind? Things like TV White Spaces?
TV White Spaces could be one thing, if the experiments show that increased adoption would lead to lower prices. But it might also include low cost base stations and there are a number of companies pursuing this approach. There's also things like solar base stations to lower energy costs.
How will you spread best practice?
One thing we're planning to do globally this year is to facilitate regional meetings for the sharing of experiences and best practices and we'll be holding one of those events in Africa, bringing together countries we're working with and other successful countries to do just that.
So which countries are you working with in Africa?
We've currently signed MOU's with Ghana and Nigeria and within the next 6 months we'll announce another couple of countries we'll be working with/

I am reaching the point where a Goldawing is a bit much for me around town and in parking lots, but I have decided to go with a smaller motorcycle rather than a maxi scooter, and keep my small (125-150cc) scooters.
Jerry, have you tried a Victory? The Cross Country might be a good fit. It's lighter than the Goldwing (765 lbs) has ABS standard and is very nimble yet has a lot of power available. You can rent from Scottsdale Victory, they have Cross Country, Cross Country Tour and Visions available for rent. They have some nice used ones for sale too. Also, Mesa Victory know someone in town who can cut an inch or so off the seat. That'll make it a bit easier to back up.

Prevent Eye Injuries from Fireworks!
Prevent Blindness America warns that there is no safe way for nonprofessionals to use fireworks. It is only safe to enjoy the splendor and excitement of fireworks at a professional display.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, fireworks are involved in thousands of injuries treated in U.S. hospital emergency rooms each year.
Most fireworks injuries occur during the one month period surrounding the Fourth of July. ► Most fireworks injuries occur during the one month period surrounding the Fourth of July. ▼
An estimated 5,200 fireworks-related injuries (or 60 percent of the total estimated fireworks-related injuries in 2012) were treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments during the one-month special study period between June 22, 2012 and July 22, 2012 (95 percent confidence interval 3,600–6,800).
Of the fireworks-related injuries sustained, 74 percent were to males, and 26 percent were to females.
Of the fireworks-related injuries sustained, 68 percent were to males, and 32 percent were to females.
Children younger than 15 years of age accounted for approximately 30 percent of the estimated 2012 injuries. Forty-six percent of the estimated emergency department-treated, fireworks-related injuries were to individuals younger than 20 years of age.
- The parts of the body most often injured were hands and fingers (an estimated 41 percent); head, face, and ears (an estimated 19 percent); legs (an estimated 13 percent); and eyes (an estimated 12 percent, or 600 total).
Do not let children play with fireworks ► Do not let children play with fireworks ▼
Fireworks and celebrations go together, especially during the Fourth of July, but there are precautions parents can take to prevent these injuries. The best defense against kids suffering severe eye injuries and burns is to not let kids play with any fireworks.
Do not purchase, use or store fireworks of any type ► Do not purchase, use or store fireworks of any type ▼
Protect yourself, your family and your friends by avoiding fireworks. Attend only authorized public fireworks displays conducted by licensed operators, but be aware that even professional displays can be dangerous.
Prevent Blindness America supports the development and enforcement of bans on the importation, sale and use of all fireworks, except those used in authorized public displays by licensed operators, as the only effective means of eliminating the social and economic impact of fireworks-related trauma and damage.
If an accident does occur, minimize the damage to the eye ► If an accident does occur, minimize the damage to the eye ▼
These six steps can help save your child's sight.
Do not rub the eye. Rubbing the eye may increase bleeding or make the injury worse.
Do not attempt to rinse out the eye. This can be even more damaging than rubbing.
Do not apply pressure to the eye itself. Holding or taping a foam cup or the bottom of a juice carton to the eye are just two tips. Protecting the eye from further contact with any item, including the child's hand, is the goal.
Do not stop for medicine! Over-the-counter pain relievers will not do much to relieve pain. Aspirin (should never be given to children) and ibuprofen can thin the blood, increasing bleeding. Take the child to the emergency room at once - this is more important than stopping for a pain reliever.
Do not apply ointment. Ointment, which may not be sterile, makes the area around the eye slippery and harder for the doctor to examine.
- Do not let your child play with fireworks, even if his/her friends are setting them off. Sparklers burn at 1800 degrees Farenheit, and bottle rockets can stray off course or throw shrapnel when they explode.

David Luiz has denied publicly criticising Chelsea team-mate Frank Lampard in an interview with the Portuguese press.
Blues defender Luiz was quoted by O Jogo newspaper as commenting on team-mate Lampard's widely-publicised problems with manager Andre Villas-Boas. But the 24-year-old was adamant his words had been taken out of context and were not directed at Lampard individually but were more general in nature.
Claiming Luiz had criticised Lampard, O Jogo quoted him as saying: "No one has to be someone's father or son in a football club. There are no privileged people there. He simply has to listen to the coach when he gives orders and take them. No player can forget that they are just an employee of the club."

The Inspector General of Police, David Kimaiyo, has added his voice to those cautioning politicians against using historical injustices in the allocation of land as a campaign tool.
Kimaiyo was speaking during the launch of a two day workshop between the National Police Service (NPS) and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) on the security measures put in place ahead of the March 4 General Election on Tuesday.
He said the subject of land ownership is highly emotive and has been identified as one of the catalysts to the violence that followed the last elections.
The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) Chairman Mzalendo Kibunjia had censured politicians on Monday for manipulating the land issue in their campaigns for their benefit oblivious to the repercussions.
"We must not accept leaders who incite us on the basis of historical injustices that we have agreed as a nation and even formed institutions to resolve them. None of them can resolve those issues in a month's time so why are you inciting us on issues that you cannot resolve?"
"The country is cooler than it was in 2007 one month to elections. It didn't happen by accident. Something like that which is raw... which is very emotional and you want to use it? I don't think you being fair to Kenyans."
Even in the face of these warning politicians continue to bring up the land issue on the campaign trail.
While campaigning under a Coalition of Reform and Democracy (CORD) banner in Kisumu County the outgoing Sports Minister Ababu Namwamba accused the Jubilee Coalition leader's, Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta, family of being behind the historical injustices in the allocation of land and therefore cannot be expected to remedy it in the event he is elected president.
"If you are a serious leader you say what you mean and you mean what you say. I hear that William Ruto and Uhuru Kenyatta want to implement land reforms and I laugh. I laugh very loudly because that is the biggest joke of the year."
The security chief also cautioned politicians against using helicopters after 6 pm as they carry out their campaigns given after the sun goes down visibility is greatly reduced.

Last year the UK was ranked 23rd out of the 178 countries surveyed.
Armed conflict, political instability and natural disasters played a key part in eroding the lifestyles and well-being of mothers and children in the world's poorest countries, according to Save the Children's 15th annual State of the World's Mothers report.
Trouble-hit nations in Africa fill the bottom slots with Somalia ranked at 178, behind the Democratic Republic of the Congo at 177 and Mali and Niger, which were both placed at 175.
Armed violence has torn apart the lives of millions of mothers and children in countries like Syria, which is ranked at 115, and the Central African Republic, which came in at 173. They face a crisis which has displaced many inside their own borders or to flee to try and survive in a neighbouring nation. Evidence of violence against girls and women in Syria is also mounting, with young refugee girls at increasing risk of early and forced marriages.
Countries are ranked on five key factors — risk of maternal death, under-five mortality rate, educational status, economic achievement and political status.
High-risk pregnancies in the UK are thought to be linked to obesity, IVF, social deprivation, multiple pregnancies as well as increased maternal age and poorer access to healthcare.

Plan youth present at UN International Year of Youth Launch
On August 12, Plan is taking part in day and evening activities at the UN headquarters, simultaneously kicking off a month-long display of youth photography and the United Nations' International Year of Youth: Dialogue and Mutual Understanding.
The daytime-launch activities at the UN headquarters in New York include welcoming words from Secretary General Ban Ki Moon; speeches from Tunisia's Minister of Youth, Sport and Physical Education and other high-level UN officials; as well as remarks from the Ambassador of Benin.
Youth from Plan's Youth United for Global Action (YUGA) group and Plan UK's youth advisory panel will speak about the importance of youth participation, and introduce a selection of winning photos from the annual Shoot Experience youth photography competition.
According to Elizabeth Murphy, Plan's YUGA Manager, "In our work, we see how motivated youth become when they dialogue with each other about how to solve the world's toughest problems. These voices are critical to making the world a better place, and we are proud that they are being heard at the United Nations."
The resolution for the Year of "Dialogue and Mutual Understanding" was adopted by the UN with the intention of encouraging governments, civil society organizations, communities, and individuals alike to design activities that celebrate youth participation, promote intercultural dialogue and encourage understanding among young people.
The Year also encourages young people to dedicate themselves to fostering progress, including the attainment of the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and to devote their energy, enthusiasm and creativity to the promotion of inter-generational and cultural understanding.
For the photography exhibit, Visual Voices: Youth Perspectives on Global Issues, Plan collaborated with UK-based photography company Shoot Experience and the UN Programme on Youth. 39 photos were chosen from a selection of over 2,500 from 108 countries, representing three themes: climate change, governance and gender.
The photographs will be on view from August 2 to September 10, 2010 in the visitor's lobby of the United Nations. The exhibit will also feature participatory elements such as a video booth, cut-out photo opportunity to send a personal message to the Secretary General of the UN, and a scavenger hunt activity. View the photographs that were selected for the exhibit.
Plan USA's YUGA program actively links youth from around the world to promote understanding through personal dialogue, "which is why the Visual Voices exhibit is so meaningful to us and the goals of our organization," says Audrey Bracey Deegan, Plan's Interim President/CEO. "YUGA activities inspire young people to take much-needed action in the face of such difficult issues as poverty, HIV/AIDS, climate change, genocide, and child trafficking/exploitation."

Is Pro Street dead?
Posted 29 December 2012 - 07:27 AM
I will leave this thread opened for a short time to see if there are enough builders here that would like to take part. If so then I will open up a new thread for the actual build. I have a few ideas myself and I know that there are still quite a few available sources for Pro Street cars and trucks. Let me know what you think.
Posted 29 December 2012 - 07:35 AM
It might not be popular anymore, but I think most hot rodders still have a soft spot for pro-street. It is street to strip taken to the Nth degree and there's something cool about that. We still see quite a bit of it here on the forum. I do not have any pro-street builds planned, but I sure wish you luck on this CBP.
Posted 29 December 2012 - 08:20 AM
by far my most favorite builds all time
i would definatly be in on this IF the time allows
on a side note R2 NEEDS to re-issue the pro-street superbee
shoot, even with just a rolling chassis and engine at 10-15 dollars a pop they would sell like hot cakes
(if you allow me ill drop a few pics of my builds)
Posted 29 December 2012 - 10:33 AM
The short answer?... yes
It has gone to Pro-Mod, people want their cars to handle as good as they go in a straight line, a prostreet car usually has some H-U-G-E rubber out back.
Posted 29 December 2012 - 11:00 AM
I'd participate in this. We're building a 1:1 pro street 39 chevy at work and this would be a good excuse to build a model of it.
Posted 29 December 2012 - 02:11 PM
Thanks for the response so far. I will let this go for a few days and then make the determination. I'd like for this to be a popular build idea but I don't want to pursue it if there is only a couple of people interested. Folks need more to look at than just 2 or 3 builds.

Low-cost carrier Vueling has reiterated that it will make a long-anticipated narrowbody order announcement by the end of the summer.
Chief executive officer Alex Cruz, speaking to analysts during a second quarter results call on 1 August, said: "Our project continues. We are in phase three of our evaluation."
"We are on track and we hope to make a decision after the summer, maybe in September or October, depending on the date of our board meeting."
The Barcelona-based airline has added 14 Airbus A320-family jets to its operation since the demise of Spanair earlier this year, taking its fleet to 55 A320s and three A319s. The majority of the new additions are on three-year operating leases.
Vueling will end the summer with a total fleet of 60 aircraft, but may need to renew its entire fleet beginning in 2015.
"We are pleased with data and proposals submitted by the three vendors [Airbus, Boeing and Bombardier] and we are still in the negotiation phase. It is an important project for Vueling," says Cruz.
In June chief financial officer Sonia Jerez told delegates at the Ascend London 2020 conference that production slots were not available before 2013.

Tastemakers 2009 Ryan Kavanaugh
by Samantha Dunn / produced by Mayer Rus / portrait by Scott Council
Leave it to a rock guitarist to see a chance to riff. If his dad hadn't talked him out of a recording contract when he was 17, Kavanaugh might not have launched Relativity Media, the company that has financed or produced and distributed more than 100 films—and racked up more than $7.4 billion in the process. When he bought the horror-genre Rogue Pictures, the idea was to make movies, not launch a lifestyle brand. "We started to hear: 'We love Rogue T-shirts, shoes, videogames.' Well, these didn't exist," says Kavanaugh. "Say it takes $30 million to promote a movie...Why can't I take that same dollar and also be promoting a brand?"
Developing your own brand based on what the audience wants and placing the products in the film is the logical step beyond placement of other brands. It's taking Marshall McLuhan one step further: The medium is the message—and both are making money.

The eerie fog that greeted golfers at McMinnville Country Club Wednesday morning was the perfect setting for the Ladies Halloween tournament.
The Halloween spirit was alive and well as more than 70 women turned out to compete in the end-of-the-year event.
Instead of the usual course attire, women dressed up in costumes as having the best outfit was just as coveted as winning a team trophy in one of three flights.
It was a shock to many to see Dorthy from "Wizard of Oz," practicing her putting alongside a bumble bee while red Solo cups watched. The turnout and participation ...

Make a pretty pinboard
Create a decorative and useful focal point
Create a focal point in your kitchen or study by displaying cards and invitations on a fabric-covered corkboard made with an offcut of material and ribbon in a contrasting colour.
Fold an offcut of fabric or even the back of an old dress shirt tightly around the board. Staple, glue or use push-pins to secure it in place. Wrap a length of ribbon from corner to corner diagonally across the board and fix the ends on the reverse with a pin or fabric glue. Repeat across the opposite diagonal, again securing on the reverse. Where the ribbons cross in the centre of your board, secure the point with a drawing pin. Follow with a few more strands of ribbon, pinning again where it crosses another ribbon, and also on the reverse until you have a criss-cross pattern of ribbon.

Do you think wearing on-body cameras on duty should be mandatory?
If you haven't trained to engage a suspect at less than 100 yards with your patrol rifle, start now.
Having been impressed with the finish, fit, and quality of Daniel Defense quad rails in the past, I was intrigued by the company's new M4-style carbine. I had a hard time parting with it after I was finished putting it through its paces.
Ever since the 1997 North Hollywood bank robbery and shootout, the popularity of rifles in patrol operations has exploded. Rifle manufacturers have capitalized on this demand, and they are now making a variety of rifles specifically designed for patrol and SWAT operations. Here's a quick look at some of the long guns now available for service in law enforcement.
Rifle manufacturers are now making a variety of rifles specifically designed for patrol and SWAT operations. Here's a quick look at some of the long guns now available for service in law enforcement.
Ever since it arrived months ago for testing, I've been putting the 556 SWAT SIG through its paces. The rifle has been everything I hoped for.
Phoenix council members on Wednesday approved a request for the police department to purchase 60 Bushmaster AR-15 rifles from Clyde Armory at a cost of $44,813.28. Officials anticipate having the order fulfilled in time for the first set of 20 officers to train with the rifles in early November.
POLICE Magazine takes a look at the newest long guns for law enforcement.
Go to the Shooting Hunting Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show, and you will quickly realize that there are a multitude of companies making long guns. The following is a brief guide to help you discover what's available in the patrol rifle and carbine market.
Old West sheriffs and marshals often carried a Colt .45 called the Peacemaker. But that .45 had the limitations of all handguns, so savvy Western lawmen also kept a short-barreled repeating rifle like a Winchester in their saddle bags. They knew that in a real gunfight, a carbine is the real "peace maker."
You probably think you have seen every possible rifle that can be derived from the basic AR platform. Think again.
Designed to accommodate the new 6.8 SPC cartridge, this weapon's shooting accuracy and velocity make it ideal for tactical applications.
In keeping with its tradition of supplying police officers with easy-to-use, rugged long guns built for specific police applications, Remington recently introduced the Model 7615 pump-action rifle that's being marketed as a patrol rifle for agencies that can't carry so-called "assault" weapons outside of tactical units.
What was surprising, however, was the performance of a low-price rifle, the DPMS Panther Arms Panther 16-inch AP4 Post Ban configuration rifle with Miculek compensator.
The M1A SOCOM can supply well-directed heavy fire from an easy-to-use, cop-friendly platform.
The firearms innovator develops a low-cost, high-quality way for agencies to field short patrol rifles.
A career in law enforcement on the warm and sunny island of Oahu may seem like a dream come true to most of the readers of POLICE. And after training with nearly 30 officers from the Honolulu Police Department, I can assure you that the reality is just as great as you imagine.

Along the line of a nonproliferation policy for nuclear materials, the development of a process for the co-conversion of Pu-U nitrate mixed solutions to mixed-oxide (MOX) powder has been carried out, and through the bench-scale experimental work performed at the Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation, a new co-conversion process using a microwave heating method has been successfully developed. Using the bench-scale test unit with a 2 kg of MOX/day capacity, designed on the basis of the results of mock-up tests, the feasibility of this process has been demonstrated with good results. In this test unit installed in the Plutonium Fuel Fabrication Facility, a fixed volume (∼7.2 ℓ )of Pu-U nitrate mixed solution [∼270 g (Pu + U)/ℓ] is fed into a denitration vessel placed in a fixed position on the denitration apparatus. When microwave power (2450 MHz; maximum 16 kW) is applied to the mixed solution, the solution is directly heated and changed to PUO2−UO3 MOX through the denitration reaction. This PUO2−UO3 MOX is then scraped off the denitration vessel and transferred so the subsequent processes of calcination-reduction and pulverization can be performed. In these processes, it is changed to PuO2−UO2 MOX powder, which is suitable for pellet fabrication. Through the basic experiments with the test unit, some important data were successfully obtained concerning the feasibility of the test unit, powder characteristics of the product, and impurity pickups during the denitration process. At present, using this unit, plutonium nitrate solution transported from the Tokai Reprocessing Plant is being converted to MOX powder which has a Pu/U ratio = 1. Stable operation continues and the products have been used without any difficulty as the raw material for advanced test reactor "FUGEN" reloading fuel fabrication. Judging from the result of these experiments, the co-conversion process using a microwave heating method has been found to have many excellent advantages, such as good powder characteristics of the product, simplicity of the process, good homogeneity of the plutonium and uranium oxide, minimum liquid waste, no impurity pickup during denitration, no possibility of changing the Pu/U ratio, and small "material unaccounted for" through the process. This co-conversion process has been adapted to the main process of the co-conversion facility with a 10 kg of MOX/day capacity, which is now under construction as the end process of the Tokai Reprocessing Plant.

In May 1855, he left for the Crimean War, in which he served firstly with his battalion, then from July 1855 as aide-de-camp to the commander of the 2nd Division, Lieutenant-General Markham, and finally from November 1855 as deputy assistant quartermaster general on the staff at Headquarters, being promoted brevet Major. He was mentioned in despatches and received the fifth class of the Turkish Order of the Medjidie and the British, Turkish and Sardinian Crimean medals.
In 1857, he was promoted Captain and Lieutenant-Colonel, and transferred, as a Lieutenant-Colonel, to the 95th (Derbyshire) Regiment in 1858, serving with that regiment at the end of the Indian Mutiny, for which he was again mentioned in despatches. From 1861 to 1862 he served as deputy adjutant general to the forces in Bombay, and was promoted brevet Colonel in 1863. He served, again as deputy adjutant general, in the Magdala campaign, for which he was awarded the CB and made an aide-de-camp to the Queen in 1868. He was adjutant general in the East Indies from 1869 to 1874.
He returned to England in 1874 as colonel on the staff, commanding the forces at Shorncliffe, and was appointed to command a brigade at Aldershot, with the temporary rank of Brigadier-General, in 1877.
He was promoted Major-General in March 1877. In February 1878 he was appointed to command the forces in South Africa, with the local rank of Lieutenant-General, and in October succeeded his father as 2nd Baron Chelmsford. He brought the Ninth Cape Frontier War to an end in July 1878, and was made a KCB in November.
In January 1879 he invaded Zululand (see Anglo-Zulu War), but the centre column of his forces was defeated at the Battle of Isandlwana. Because an invasion of Natal seemed likely as a result, Chelmsford was relieved of his command. However he defeated the Zulus at the Battle of Ulundi just before the arrival of his replacement, Sir Garnet Wolseley, which effectively ended the campaign. He left for England in July 1879, but Wolseley ensured in his despatches that Chelmsford receive all the credit for Ulundi, and he was awarded the GCB in August.
Lord Chelmsford became Lieutenant-General in 1882, Lieutenant of the Tower of London from 1884 until 1889, colonel of the 4th (West London) Rifle Volunteer Corps in 1887, full General in 1888, and colonel of the Derbyshire Regiment in 1889. He exchanged the colonelcy of the Derbyshires for that of the 2nd Life Guards in 1900, and was made GCVO in 1902.
He was the inaugural Governor and Commandant of the Church Lads' Brigade, a post he held until he died.
He left four sons, the eldest of whom succeeded as 3rd Baron Chelmsford and later became Viceroy of India and first Viscount Chelmsford and the Lieutenant-Colonel Eric Thesiger.

'Parenthood' welcomes John Corbett back for some love triangle dramaAdd to Favorites | Parenthood
Now, TVLine reports that another fan favorite is back as well -- "Sex and the City" fave John Corbett, as Seth, Graham's musician ex-husband and the father of her two teenage children. Despite his rather deadbeat dad situation, we couldn't help but fall in love with him (hello, it's John Corbett) last season, and we're sure his return will complicate things for Sarah.
"Just when everything seems to be going well between Sarah and Mark, Seth shows up and he's kind of in a darker place than he's been," executive producer Jason Katims tells the site. "And so you see Sarah really having to struggle with wanting to help him and be there for him, but also at the same time [be fully present] in this relationship with Mark that's really good and healthy."
Who do you prefer, "Parenthood" fans? Seth the DILF or Mark the, uh, TILF? (The T stands for Teacher. Obviously.)

2003 Cadillac DeVille Q&A
2003 Cadillac DeVille Question: engine light on cod p0443
like to know what is mean and how much it cost to fix it - amir10011
2 Answers
Answer 1
P0443 EVAP Solenoid Control Circuit Malfunction - With Automatic Transmission Possible Causes Setting Conditions Purge solenoid connector is damaged (inspect pins for damage, and moisture) Purge solenoid control circuit is open, shorted to ground or shorted to voltage Purge solenoid Ignition circuit is open (check the IGN1 fuse in U/H fuse box) Purge solenoid has failed PCM has failed - PARTS GUY
Answer 2
Your on board computer is telling you that code PO443 is causing this code. you can google the OBDll codes and find this information and what this particular code means. I can tell you (after looking it up myself), It refers to the selenoid that controls the EVAP emission system. To start at the beginning, there is a plastic tube that directs the fumes from the gas tank to a charcoal filter in a canister.This canister is located under the vehicle 1/2 way between the tank and the driver. It can be accessed through an access hole in the trunk. However, the actual selenoid is mounted on the throttle body. I recently urchased one off the internet for $40.00 and installed It myself.Believe it or not, but a simple little thing as small as a loose gas cap can cause this code to appear. The whole idea how it works is to burn the built up gasoline fumes in the tank. Once you start the engine the fumes in the lines will be sucked into the engine and burned. Meanwhile, those not burned are routed through a charcoal canister to be neutralized so they won't pollute the atmosphere. Small plastic tubing tie all these parts together routing the fumes to their proper places. I replaced the selenoid on my vehicle but I am still geting this code. Car runs great so I think It Is erroneous. - bilysinger
