iPhone 4.0 Spotted Online Again!
Last time iPhone 4.0 was spotted in a server log, now it's been seen again in a developer's Pinch Media analytics. Sure, this stuff can and will be faked, but given that Apple typically introduces new OS versions in March, and that iPhone 3.2 is still nowhere to be seen, maybe they are concentrating on 4.0 and early tests are already underway?
'Tis the season to see rumors, if nothing else!

iPhone 4.0 Spotted Online Again!
Exactly. Software upgrades soon. The 3GS is well equipped to do more things. Even if it's to fix minor glitches it should come soon.
I'd like to see a few more customizable features and a weather app that displays the current temp. Although with new hardware, we could get a better camera, better battery, better screen, and maybe make it a little thinner. Oh, and add a tazer feature for security.
I never thought I'd say this but I'm a little bored with the physical appearance of the iPhone. I saw some really cool fan ideas of what 4.0 should look like and some are very bad ass!
As far as software goes, there are some definite things to be looked at but I would be EXTREMELY disappointed if the design itself was not updated.
I doubt they change physical appearance much. The current state of the iPhone is simplicity at it's finest (less is more). IF they change anything, I hope it includes a front facing camera and detachable battery. My fear is that a detachable battery would mean a thicker body. I'd like the phone to be as slim as the iPoT. Alex makes a great point about maybe rolling the new phone out sooner to answer competitors, and he's right that it probably won't happen anyways. I'm eligible for upgrade in July, so it doesn't matter much to me :)
I've said this countless times. As far as aesthetics go, Apple understands simplicity, (less is more), minimalism, class, and style. They're not going to go the tasteless and gaudy route like Android and others are. OS X has remained basically similar throughout the years, and so too, will iPhone OS. Those who don't like it had better just plan on moving on now because it's not gonna become trashy and convoluted while Jobs is running things.
As far as the hardware, outer casing, and features... sure, I'm all for major improvements and design changes.
Told ya last week they were putting all their resouces into 4.0. Front facing camera is a given, in addition to the usual one. Also, a gyroscope will enable truly precise augmented reality as well as quasi head tracking that will allow the OS to render 3D depth perception on the 2D screen without the need for special glasses, if the user chooses to enable it. Not to mention far superior orientation than the imprecise compass. All this of course will require a hefty CPU and GPU boost. Admittedly, the pico projector is a stretch, but a guy can dream, can't he?
Lol! Apples not gonna do any of that since it wold slow down the phone and AT&T can't handle the data for video cals. They are already straining the network as it is.
Apple should look no further than what the jailbreak community has done to this wonderful device. A lot of great jailbreak tweaks should be considered for 4.0- at this point the iPhone springboard def needs to be fully customizeable the way I have my beautiful Xmas theme on now on My JB phone. Also texting anywhere wthout having to open up SMS messaging should be implemented. Being able to control your music apps through external docks or headphone clicker like you're able to with the iPod should also be tweaked. The way music controls works in the cydia store.
I think with all the competition now, backrounding on 4.0 is a given.
This is the feature you guys really want (disclaimer: not real, dnt want the uber mr-obvious kids to go nuts)
The iPhone misses some pretty basic functions, themeing, custom homescreen wallpapers, multitasking, the list goes on, although iPhone needs a hugE beef up, the also need haptic onteir keyboard, the keyboard on the iPhone is really nice but it needs some type of feedback, but whatever you want in iPhone 4.0 apple probably won't give so go ahead and jailbreak
Just jailbreak ur iPhone. U will b less dissapointed that way withwhat apple will release. So sad for their devices to have so much potential but yet be hel back by so many restrictions and, well jus all the cool tweaks an utilities they could implament. Something so simple as adding a wallpaper on ur background too much for the almighty apple dev team?

Top Riviera Hideaways
By Rick Steves
For over a hundred years, celebrities from central and northern Europe and Russia flocked to France's and Italy's Riviera to escape the drab, dreary weather at home. Some of Europe's most stunning scenery lies along these beaches. Unfortunately, so do millions of sun-worshiping tourists. Even so, outside of July and August, the French towns of Antibes and Collioures and Italy's Vernazza offer a laid-back Riviera ideal for anyone working on a slower pulse.
Antibes' interesting old town faces its sandy cove. The fine Château Grimaldi, overlooking the beach and tiny harbor, was once the home of Monaco's ruling family and today houses a Picasso museum. Antibes's glamorous port glistens with luxurious yachts and quaint fishing boats. You're welcome to browse. The Old City of Antibes is quaint in a sandy-sophisticated way.
The well-worn resorts of the French Riviera line the beach like floozies on bar stools, promising tourists a good time. But Collioure, just before the Spanish border, aims its charms at its own people. It's the ideal small-town-without-the-glitz antidote to condo-city Riviera. Like an ice cream shop, Collioure offers 31 flavors of pastel houses and six petite scooped-out beaches — sprinkled lightly with beachgoers. This sweet scene, capped by Collioure's winking lighthouse, sits under a once-mighty castle in the shade of the Pyrenees.
The Cinque Terre, meaning "five lands," is five villages clinging to the most inaccessible bit of coast on the Italian Riviera. Established as pirates' hideouts centuries ago, the towns are still hideaways, virtually inaccessible by car. The Cinque Terre, between Pisa and Genoa, is now government-protected. Few new buildings are allowed. Villagers have almost no choice but to go about their business as if the surrounding vineyards were the very edges of the earth.
Vernazza is the Cinque Terre village I call home. Its one street connects the harbor with the train station before melting into the vineyards. Like veins on a grape leaf, paths and stairways connect this watercolor huddle of houses with Main Street. Every day is a rerun in this hive of lazy human activity. A rainbow of laundry flaps as if to cool the old men who line the bench. Like barnacles filling ancient doorways, local grandmothers watch life drift by. Little varnished boats are piled peely everywhere and sailors suckle at salty taverns. Kids play soccer on the breakwater while the sun sets unnoticed — except by tourists.

No content shows on normal page, http://www.baeno.nl/ao-deskundigen-test/, which I made a few months ago. When I do a search test (for example: "Irma") it works but no content is on the page and on the searchresult just one result with no content. I put next question on the plugin forum and they have a question about youre theme. Please can you answer their question to me?
My question to www.wp-types.com
For a while I didn't worked on my test with views en types. Now I have to continue this part of my client website again. By looking at what i made a few months ago I discoverd that now i can only see my testpage when I'm logged in as an administrator and cann't see the test when I'm not logged in as administrator.
A few months ago I didn't have this problem because I tested it whit my client then and no problem seems to appear at that moment while testing.
Didn't change anything in the meantime, what can be the issue what causes this mysteries problem?
Answer plugin www.wp-types.com
I did a quick test using a default wordpress theme and it is working fine as expected, it is a compatibility issue indeed. The best way in this case is get in touch with the theme author, asking if there is some function that restrict some parts of the theme (pages, areas). We need his help to make it fully compatible.
Please will you be so kind to help with this problem.
Kind regards

Please see below for the latest news from the Pembrokeshire Supporting People Team:
Latest News Summer 2013
Domestic Abuse Floating Support
The Domestic Abuse Floating Support Service was evaluated during 2012 and although the exercise was very positive it clearly evidenced the need for increased provision. As a result the Supporting People Planning Group decided to significantly increase the capacity of the service to reduce waiting list numbers and length of wait for the service.
The contract was tendered during Autumn 2012 and the exercise resulted in the contract being awarded to Gwalia Care & Support. The service now supports approximately 28 service users at any one time and operates a minimal waiting list. If you would like to refer to the service, please call 01646 698820, or e-mail email@example.com
Substance Misuse Supported Accommodation (Northgate) & Floating Support
Following discussions with key stakeholders the Supporting People Planning Group decided that the Northgate House Supported Accommodation project and the Substance Misuse Floating Support Service should be merged to ensure effective use of funding and improved continuity of support.
The contract for the re-modelled project was tendered during Autumn 2012 and the exercise resulted in the contract being awarded to CAIS. CAIS are a registered charity and voluntary sector provider of drug and alcohol services in Wales. CAIS are new to Pembrokeshire but the skills and experience they bring with them are welcome. If you would like to refer to the service, please call 01437 766299 or 07436037765(Jon Brewer) or email email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
HIV/Aids Floating Support Service
Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion County Councils recently commissioned a short term demonstrator project to work with those affected by HIV/Aids within our areas. The project has been very successful and evidenced the need for a specialist housing related support service in the long term. In order to ensure efficiency, flexibility and effectiveness the Supporting People Planning Groups in Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire decided to merge the Pembrokeshire/Ceredigion demonstrator project with the established Carmarthenshire project and commission the project for a further period of 12 months. The project will be evaluated during this 12 month period and the evaluation report will inform future commissioning of the service. If you would like to refer to the service, please call 01792 461 848.
Regional Collaborative Committee (RCC)
The new Supporting People governance structure has brought about the introduction of six welsh regions, each with its own Regional Collaborative Committee. Pembrokeshire finds itself within the Mid and West region with our partners Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Powys. The Mid and West Wales Regional Collaborative Committee (RCC) provides advice to the four local authorities within the region and other stakeholders, and through the Supporting People National Advisory Board (SPNAB), to the Welsh Ministers on regional and local collaborative delivery of the Supporting People Programme to ensure the most efficient and effective services are delivered.
The Mid and West Wales RCC is comprised of provider and landlord representatives, health and probation representatives, Supporting People Lead Officers and Heads of Housing Departments, Local Members, the Regional Development Co-ordinator, and Service User representatives.
Regional Development Coordinator
Arabella Owen was recruited as the Mid and West Wales Regional Development Co-ordinator, and commenced in November 2012 for a period of two years. Employed by Pembrokeshire County Council (the Coordinating Local Authority), and based in Pembrokeshire, her key responsibilities include:
Local Commissioning Plan (LCP)
Supporting People Operational Plans have been replaced with three year Local Commissioning Plans. The 2013-16 Local Commissioning Plan is available here . All of the project proposals that feature in the current LCP have been realised, at least in part. Though the plan is a three year plan it is updated annually and the Supporting People Planning Group are in the process of developing project proposals for inclusion as part of the next update. If anyone has any commissioning or re-modelling suggestions please contact the Supporting People Team who will be happy to discuss any suggestions you may have. In order for a proposal to feature within the updated LCP, it must be submitted to the SP team by Friday 19th July to enable proposals to be appropriately consulted on before the updated LCP is presented to Cabinet for approval in October.
Supporting People Team in Pembrokeshire
The team previously consisted of a Lead Officer, a Planning Officer and a Contract Monitoring & Review Officer but the structure has recently been updated and a new staff member has been appointed (Jane Thompson) The team now consists of a Supporting People Lead Officer (Ian Randell), two Supporting People Officers (Danielle Busby and Jane Thompson) and the Regional Development Co-ordinator (Arabella Owen).
Updated directory of services
The Directory of Services has recently been updated to capture any new services and any changes brought about by re-modelling.

Chrissy Teigen, John Legend married in star-studded Italian wedding
They finally tied the knot: John Legend and Chrissy Teigen got married.
The Grammy-winning singer married the model in Lake Como, Italy on Saturday (Sept. 14), Us Weekly reports.
The ceremony was a star-studded affair, with Kanye West attending, actress and model Brooklyn Decker acting as maid of honor, and Biz Markie taking the role of DJ.
The 27-year-old wore Vera Wang down the aisle, and the 34-year-old singer serenaded his new wife. "I will be singing for her, 'All Of Me,' which I wrote for her," Legend said prior to the wedding. "I wrote most of the album about her."
Legend and Teigen have been dating since 2007, and he popped the question in late December of 2011 while on vacation in the Maldives.

although the leaves have me guessing...
Are the leaves attached to the flowers heart shaped and this vine mixed in with another type?
I looked them up on Google and there are more than 1000 varieties in the morning glory family and I saw images with those same leaves, some morning glory plants are good landscape plants, unlike the "wild flower" morning glory also known as bind weed.
Thank you guys for the help. This is definetly one plant, I double checked. I think you guys are right, the leaves are off but the flowers are identical, and the flowers do bloom in the morning.
It's a variation.
I'd found one of these and harvested the seeds year to year as they're very pretty.

Cost Per Check-in: Has Foursquare Initiated A New Ad Model?
However where Twitter falls short in approaching this market themselves, it's just slightly behind the curve in offering the right kind of geolocation component. This left the door wide open for Foursquare to strike deals with franchised brands like Tasti D-Lite and their "young, hip Pecan Preline Crunchy customers," as Ethan Lyon describes them. In my previous blog, titled, "Tasti D-Lite Loyalty Program Needs Geolocation To Sell Product," I detailed how Twitter did not address tweets that needed to target followers based on location. For instance, when a Twitter user tweets out a deal he has just received from this dessert company, it will be sent to one's entire following, instead of a distinct grouping within one's geographic radius.
On the flip side, when this same communication is sent out to one's followers on Foursquare, it can be limited to a 3-4 block territory. This allows those users and their Foursquare followers to benefit from a special deal or coupon offering within a short walking distance.
To this end, according to an Ad Age report, Foursquare is planning its first-time 'paid' services for three tiers of businesses: small, privately owned stores and restaurants, brands with retail chains, such as Tasti D-Lite and at its highest level - huge, multinational marketers such as Pepsi.
This is where 'Cost Per Check-In' might play a role. While checking into a Tasti D-Lite shop today, a user might be awarded a coupon from the Tennessee-based chain. This is the service Foursquare calls "Specials Nearby." However, it doesn't take a rocket science to think about the possibilities if Foursquare were to charge for each check-in, or number of check-ins after a certain quota is reached. The analytics are already built into the system, and it is certainly showing Tasti D-Lite that it can drive traffic.
So why haven't they done so?
The fine line that Foursquare treads at this point in time is to determine whether it can consistently grow - whether that growth will be moderate or exponential - but more importantly, if it can maintain its 'cool' appeal. According to David Berkowitz, director emerging media at digital agency 360i, "The X-factor appeal of Foursquare is in its social currency." As long as that appeal can sustain the long-haul, I think monetization is right around the corner. And I also think that a greater collaboration deal with Twitter is imminent. A joint deal between these two social networking entities make a lot of sense and would synergistically provide the users of both camps, more bang for the buck, then if they were to choose to compete with one another.
As I've stated previously, 2010 is the year of "geolocation." And geo-tagging is what is going to finally capture that illusive dollar revenue that Twitter and Foursquare have not been able to capture for themselves, - but instead have provided for its partners. By mid-year, I see a paradigm shift when they harness the "hand that feeds" and start taking a piece of that pie (or Pecan Praline) for themselves.
'Cost Per Check-in' could be the first step in that lucrative direction!

4sq revenure from check-in or advertising
Interesting. I think the service has to become more valuable before people will be willing to pay for it. We are starting to see that trend now, but from the consumer side it's still a game. I think the revenue model will have to come from the advertising.

'Forever Young': Producer Ashton Kutcher sets up another social experimentAdd to Favorites | Forever Young
It sounds like a match made in reality show heaven: a bunch of cantankerous, get-off-my-lawn oldsters living with a swarm of spoiled, arrogant whippersnappers.
But TV Land has a bit more in mind with "Forever Young" than inciting an age war. The Ashton Kutcher-produced series that premieres Wednesday, April 3, seeks to foster understanding between the two groups, and hopefully prove that old saying about age being nothing but a number.
Judging from the comments of three people who took part in the so-called "social experiment," apparently it worked. They all have good things to say about one another and agreed that being on the show was a life-changing experience. Heck, it's been more than two years after filming wrapped and they still stay in touch!
But it certainly wasn't respect at first sight.
"From the second we met [I thought], 'I'm going to have to live with these people? I'm constantly going to be corrected, told how wrong I am,'" Christian Taboada, one of the juniors, tells Zap2it.
"Old people seem to just judge a lot, and nag and nag and nag," says fellow junior Michael Markiewicz. "When we first got into the house, it seemed like all of them basically didn't think they could learn anything from the younger guys."
Emileen Hanna, 75, says she also sensed some preconceptions, saying, "I don't think they gave us credit for being so sharp."
But through three and a half weeks of living together, competing in challenges and -- most importantly -- just listening, barriers were broken.
"We got along so well through the whole thing, and I think we learned more from them than they learned from us actually," Hanna says. "Sometimes we seem to be less open-minded, more prejudiced. ... I had a preconception that all kids were awfully self-centered and materialistic. I found out it's not that way with all kids. I don't know whether we just got lucky to be with five really great kids, but they were all so sharp and so with it and so helpful to us that I didn't find anything wrong with them."

What Ever Happened to Daphne?
"Oh, all right. I'll get A's in college and C's in grad school."
"But what about a career?"
"Oh, I guess I have to get A's forever."
For the next few hours she tells me the story of a girl who, growing up, stayed in her tiny bedroom six feet by six feet with a curtain for a door, the ceiling three feet high in places. She'd pluck books like chocolates from the little green bookcase her mother built, sometimes reading 100 pages an hour, while her mother urged her to go outside, swim in the lake, ride a bicycle, or simply get fresh air. But she never learned to ride a bike or swim; she fell down and hit her head walking on the ice as a child and the outdoors seemed more menace than friend. The only place she felt safe was nestled in her bed with written words. Her home, she said, was often turbulent, subject to the moods of her father, David. "I hated fighting," she says, "and all I knew was my father was pissed off a lot." She pauses. "The older I get, the more I get along with my dad."
David Brinkerhoff was known throughout The County for his eccentric brilliance, his disdain for convention and for anyone who couldn't follow his thoughts. He'd argue his point until he won because he knew he was the brightest person arguing. He quit school in the tenth grade, certain his teachers had nothing to teach him. He became known as a man who could figure out and fix any machine.
"When I was really young we lived in a camp," Daphne says. "No running water, no electricity. When I was four we moved into our house. We had no running water until my mother finally put in plumbing. In winter we slept beside the wood stove in sleeping bags, and we hung blankets to keep heat from escaping upstairs."
They were poor, and behind her back kids made fun of Daphne's lack of grooming. But from the day Daphne entered kindergarten she became a star. Teachers had heard of the child who inhaled books and arithmetic. While other kindergartners learned to read, Daphne went to the library to pore over books with Mrs. Tidd, the librarian. At six she learned to program her father's homemade computer. "She was programming in machine language," recalls her mother, "a series of hexadecimal symbols. It was beyond me." Teachers said they had never seen such a student in their district. By fourth grade the school placed her with eighth-graders for prealgebra, and she stayed with the older kids for language arts. "When I went through puberty it was a problem," she says. "I'd get crushes on these guys who'd never look at me.
"I wasn't popular," she says. "The other kids thought I was a snob, but I was totally shy and terrified that people wouldn't like me. When I was in seventh grade kids called me 'AIDS,' like I was a disease. I'd play this game: Which would I pick, being beautiful and popular, or being smart? Popular kids always had someone to sit with at lunch. I'd choose smart. It was kind of like a pep talk."
Her fourth-grade teacher wrote on Daphne's report card: "Daphne is the dream of every classroom teacher." She added this cautionary note: "We must be careful to remember that she is still a ten-year-old. We must include her in as many group activities as possible to ensure she does not become a loner."
In academic competitions, she became the target. "Everyone wanted me to lose in spelling bees," she says. One day in seventh grade she raced from an Odyssey of the Mind competition in the morning to the state spelling-bee championship at Colby College. "I got there late," she says. She was furious when she missed "noisome." That year she went to Washington, D.C., as the youngest and only female on the Maine Math Counts team. She remembers competing for a spot on the four-person state team and sitting in a hallway when "a boy came up to me. He said, 'You're Daphne Brinkerhoff? I'm going to beat you.' "

The Goal of My Practice
When I joined BodyLogicMD of Orlando, I had a single goal in mind: to help patients achieve optimal health and wellness at all ages — even to slow or reverse the symptoms of aging. Each of my patients have their own, personal health goals, including such issues as weight loss, healthy aging, bioidentical hormone replacement, menopause, andropause, expert nutritional testing and guidance, diagnosis and treatment of chronic illness, detoxification, and more. I strive to provide the means for patients to achieve these goals.
A Preventive Approach
I use the state-of-the-art techniques of functional medicine to optimize wellness and find the roots of disease. In contrast, our current medical system is designed to diagnose and treat the symptoms of disease when it is in its final or acute stage, not to create wellness or to effectively prevent disease. What you may not realize is that it's much easier — and healthier — to prevent disease than to cure it.
While traditional drugs do play a role in reversing disease, I focus on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, individualized fitness and nutrition plans, and the targeted use of nutritional supplements and scientifically tested natural medicines to achieve health objectives that are not possible with standard pharmaceuticals.
How You Can Benefit
Integrative, functional medicine can help make everyone healthier, regardless of their condition. That's its true beauty. Some patients will be cured and everyone will have an improvement in their health and a better understanding of their illness and how their lifestyle impacts it.
About Me
I dedicate my practice that I shares with fellow physician and BodyLogicMD Medical Director Jennifer Landa, M.D., to helping patients overcome health obstacles brought on by the body's aging process. I help both women and men find relief from symptoms of hormonal imbalance such as menopause weight gain, adrenal fatigue, low libido, hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings and depression, using a structured regimen consisting of bioidentical hormone therapy and customized nutrition and fitness programs.
I practiced Internal Medicine for 15 years before making the decision to transition into integrative and regenerative medicine. My decision was largely influenced by my desire to help patients age gracefully, with preventive techniques and proactive care. As a part of the BodyLogicMD network, I am able to work closely with each patient to customize a treatment plan that best suits them.

(from the final Alexander McQueen collection)
The storyline thing is something looks even more odd when you look at old tv shows from the 70's like hill street blues to any thing more fast paced as the old show had one at most two story line and where then done.
It's like dvd box sets have fucked tv for good you miss one show game over.
@mark I read an interesting analysis of how TV used to be a growing market, so they plotted everything to be watchable by anyone starting from any point (Gilligan's Island). Now, as the TV market is shrinking, they're trying to hold onto as many viewers as they can, which means hardcore fans and depth (Lost fans). Obviously, idk if that's a conscious decision, but it's a cool correlation, in any event. (Damn. I can't remember if that was Doctorow or Gibson… Sounds like something Doctorow would say).
That graph makes me sad… I plot out 3 or 4 things at most, per story I write. plotfail! :(
Wire grid is from
in case anyone else wants to read more about why the homogenised BBC will never do anything as complex as The Wire

Originally written on The Colts Authority | Last updated 11/12/12
At 6-3, the Colts aren't as bad as we expected. Still, Nate Dunlevy writes, whether they're a good team or not doesn't matter: they'll be making the playoffs this year. For further proof, ask the rest of the AFC. Remember Miami, a wildcard team two weeks ago? With losses to the Colts and Titans, they're now 4-5, and almost guaranteed an extended off-season. They play in a conference devoid of quality football teams. Losses by the Dolphins and Chargers over the weekend only further the case that Indianapolis is playoff-bound almost by default. At this rate, the Colts likely only need nine wins, and possibly as few as eight, to earn a postseason berth. Still, do they have a shot? We'll probably see next week, when they play New England in Foxborough, one of the trickiest venues in the league. Granted, they're still banged up (Powers out for the year, along with Nevis) ... but their offense is getting better, their defense is tightening up. If they're able to make a game of it on Su...

Arusha — Infrastructure ministers from Partner States of the East African Community (EAC) have called for a new design of the East African Railway Master Plan to cater for links to neighboring countries.
In a meeting held on Friday in Arusha, Tanzania, the ministers recommended that the Canadian consulting firm, CPCS Transcom International Ltd, which is carrying out the Master Plan study, includes railway links to Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) among others.
Infrastructure Minister Linda Bihire told The New Times shortly after the meeting that the Master Plan was incomplete and that the consulting firm will, in three months time, come up with the final plan of the railway network in East Africa.
"It is not only looking at East Africa but also other neighboring countries. The plan is to include links to Kisangani (DRC) and Juba of Southern Sudan. We have actually highlighted a few things to be rectified," she said.
Preparation of the East African Railways Master Plan is a directive of the Summit of the EAC Heads of State of April 2004, upon realization that the region would remain uncompetitive as long as transport costs remain high.
In particular, the Heads of State were concerned with the declining role of the railway system in transporting cargo to and from the ports and the resultant rapid deterioration of the region's road network.
Although the region's infrastructure still appears to be in sorry state, Bihire was upbeat the region would soon have a developed infrastructure network that would make East Africa more competitive.
She cited the three East African countries of Rwanda, Tanzania and Burundi which she said are working on a Railway study that is nearing completion.
"It's almost complete and we are very hopeful because it's economically feasible. Uganda and Kenya are also talking about starting a new line in addition to the Rift Valley project that didn't work out well," she added.
On the region's road network, Bihire said the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) had funded the construction of the Arusha-Namanga- Athi River road that crosses between Tanzania and Kenya.
The two agencies have jointly provided a loan totaling to US$ 156.3 million to cover civil works and construction supervision of the road which will next week be commissioned by the EAC Heads of State.
AfDB is financing the Athi River-Namanga section in Kenya for an amount of USD 93.1 million, while JICA is financing the Arusha - Namanga section in Tanzania for a total of USD 63.2 million.
Bihire said that there is still need for serious commitment to regional integration efforts by governments in the region if the current enormous financial and capacity challenges are to be tackled.

How to Get Started
Follow these tips to establish a successful mentoring relationship.
Larry Ambrose
So you've decided to become a mentor. You are about to embark on a truly rewarding experience that benefits you, your protege, and the healthcare field. Having made the decision to seek a mentoring relationship, you are probably wondering what to do next.
Knowing the right steps to take early on can get your mentoring relationship moving in the appropriate direction. With that in mind, following are a few tips for getting started:
Understand the difference between mentoring and managing.
Understanding what's involved in your role as a mentor-and how it differs from your role as a manager-is key to providing your protege with a meaningful mentoring experience. Your role as a manager and as a mentor may seem very similar. In both roles you serve as a combination of coach, confidant, and sounding board to someone. However, as a mentor, you have to be prepared to take on a broader, more personal relationship than the one you have established with your employees. The main difference between managing and mentoring is mostly a matter of intensity and direction. Managers are concerned with their employees' performances, making sure they complete tasks accurately, on time, and within budget. As a mentor, your purpose is to provide your protege with perspective and questions that encourage learning and to challenge the individual to think in new and creative ways. And unlike the manager/employee relationship, the mentor/protege relationship extends beyond the typical workday or a traditional workplace role.
Know what you can offer.
Before you begin as a mentor, you'll need to clarify what type of mentoring relationship interests you. For example, you may be interested in mentoring someone who is new to the healthcare field. Or maybe you would like to help an employee in your organization who shows great promise as a leader but could use a little guidance. Understanding what you have to offer as a mentor will help you decide they type of mentoring relationship you want. Do you have special knowledge and skills specific to your job? If so, you may want to consider mentoring someone who is on the same career track as you. Think about the things you know and how you learned them. One of your biggest roles as a mentor is to bring added value by sharing significant lessons learned from personal experience.
Select a protege.
Once you have decided what type of person you would like to mentor and what you have to offer, you can begin the selection process. The best proteges are individuals who are excited about learning and leading their own development. When choosing a protege, look for someone who catches your attention-someone who shows interest, energy, and capability. If you haven't noticed anyone with such attributes, ask your colleagues. Your human resource or training and development department may know of people within your organization who have expressed interest in becoming a protege. You can also ask fellow managers if they have any staff members who have expressed interest in having a mentor. Your organization may even have a mentoring program that can pair you with a protege based on your skills and knowledge and your protege's goals. Of course you don't have to mentor someone within your organization. Attending meetings and events hosted by your professional association is an excellent way to meet a potential protege.
You may be in a situation where an individual has approached you for mentoring guidance. If that is the case, you'll want to have a conversation with that person about his or her accomplishments, commitment, and goals. You will also want to share what mentoring means to you and find out what the individual perceives it to mean. This approach can help you agree on what you both want to accomplish.
Make an offer.
Once you've found someone you are interested in mentoring, you'll need to approach that individual with an offer. Let the potential protege know what you have noticed in him or her and that you would like to offer your mentoring assistance. Be clear that you are not suggesting a deficiency on the part of the potential protege-but hoping to offer added value. Don't be surprised by the reaction. The individual may feel honored and privileged that you offered; or defensive and skeptical, wondering what your ulterior motives are. Taking part in a mentoring relationship is a big decision for anyone, so give your potential protege plenty of time to think it over. Make yourself available to answer questions he or she will undoubtedly have about you and what you have to offer.
When you both have agreed to go forth with the mentoring relationship, both of you will need to talk to your protege's manager. Let the manager know what role you wish to play in your protege's development and ask for some guidance and support.
Prepare for the first meeting.
One of the objectives of your first meeting should be to establish goals for the mentoring relationship. Before your first formal meeting, ask your protege to come prepared with answers to questions such as: What do you expect from a mentor? What are your development goals for the year? Where do you see yourself in three years? As a mentor, you should be prepared to share your expectations and goals as well. A discussion about what you both hope to accomplish and gain will give your relationship direction.
Also during the first meeting, decide on how often you will meet and whether you will communicate in person or via e-mail or telephone. Make sure you emphasize that scheduled meetings need not be the only time you communicate with each other. Let your protege know that you are accessible to hear questions, thoughts, and concerns at any reasonable time. Before your meeting is over, decide on when you will meet next. Your first two or three meetings should have some sort of structure to them. Pose a question that your protege should prepare an answer for the next time you meet-this will give you something to structure the meeting around.
Finally, build in a feedback expectation to the relationship so both you and the protege can say whether you are getting what you need out of the arrangement. This self-renewal capability can get your relationship back on track if it starts heading in the wrong direction.
If you are interested in becoming a mentor, ACHE has a number of resources to help you get started. The Leadership Mentoring Network can help match you with a protege who has similar career interests. For more information, call ACHE's Career Resource Center at (312) 424-9446 or complete the online application at the link above. A mentoring relationship can also serve as your project for advancement to Fellow status in ACHE. For information on the Fellow project mentoring option, call the Division of Member Services at (312) 424-9386.

Bill Moyers | The Journal: State of the Union(s) | PBS
Duration: 52:19 (Full Program)
Program: Bill Moyers Journal #1340
Broadcast Date: Jan. 29, 2010
America's workers need jobs, and AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka is calling on them to stand up and fight. Trumka joins Bill Moyers to offer his perspective on the State of the Union and explains why he thinks President's Obama's plans — and the Republicans' agenda alike — might mean a lost decade for America. Trumka has previously worked as a coal miner, a lawyer and president of the United Mine Workers of America.
Also on the program, are America's elections now up for sale? The JOURNAL explores what the Supreme Court's decision means for campaign finance reform and the future of our democracy with progressive legal experts Monica Youn and Zephyr Teachout. Youn directs the campaign finance reform/money in politics project at NYU's Brennan Center for Law and Justice, and Teachout teaches law and politics at Fordham University's School of Law.

Since I have booked my trip, I have been researching like crazy. If the free dining deal doesn't come out, then I need to decide whether to add on dining to my package. I keep going back and forth. For two of us it will cost 70.00 a day for the dining plan, and we will probably spend right around that amount (with one less snack) without the plan. The dining plan offers so many conveniences because I won't have to total and keep track every day on how much I spend. It would be such a stress reliever. We may save some money not doing it, but we are talking 5 dollars a day, so is it worth it? I am leaning towards that it would be worth it to add on the dining plan. I just pray free dining will be offered for the month of November!!!
There are two websites that I constantly look at to review restaurants, prices, and menus. If you want more information about Disney, check out the following websites!

Channel surfing with OnDemand one day I came across a Schwarzenegger movie I hadn't seen, Raw Deal. I heard of it, never saw it and never heard anything good about it. Man, there is a reason why some movies stay obscure even when one of the most famous men on the planet is in them.
Arnie is a small town Sheriff who got run out of the big city by the mob and his old FBI boss wants Arnie to go undercover in the Mafia and ruin it from the inside. The first thing I thought of while watching was License to Kill where James Bond gets on the villians good side and gambles in his casinos, whoos the villains girlfriend and ultimately brings everything down from the inside. For what is seen as one of the weaker Bond movies by many, it's a superior movie to this Arnold movie in almost everyway, say for Arnie over Timothy Dalton, but at least Tim didn't look out of place watching and commenting on the casino games, smoking a cigar and acting debonair. Arnold isn't debonair, he shoots guns, spits out one liners and destroys everything in sight. He does do that at the end of this movie in a scene thats meant to emulate the far superior Commando where it's 60 to 1 against Arnie and Arnie wins, even when standing in the wide open.
I was bored by this, it wasn't anything Arnold hadn't done better before and while Arnold's movies are: corny, silly, stretching belief, they shouldn't be dull. At least his action movies. Even his later and less popular movies like Last Action Hero and Collateral Damage had their moments.
This movie had the no hype for me since I never heard anything great about it. It's a mundane Arnold movie that doesn't have quite the action it should save for a decent car chase into a construction yard and it was all seen before in again other, better movies. I saw the trailer for this and you better believe that this is hyped up. This was two years after The Terminator and a year following Commando no way did they NOT try to hype this.
For an Arnold movie, it's a little obscure but it's not to say that it wasn't big when it came out. Sandwiched in between Terminator, Commando and later Predator, no way did this movie stand a chance when up against those other movies.
I'm scoring this a -1. It's not a BAD movie but as I watched with Arnold getting his lines in, Arnold shooting bad guys and not getting shot and Arnold hamming it up, I realized I could be watching Arnold do this in Commando or something else he's done. Why am I watching this inferior movie? Maybe to remind me of why the good stuff is good, so that when I go back to Commando and watch him fist fight with Bill Duke and Vernon Wells, I can say "damn this is awesome!"
The best way to reccomend this movie is to an 80's action film fan. It's not BAD, I must reiterate that but it's best watched as your first Arnold movie before you see his other, better movies.
You might have noted that I keep calling Arnold's character, well Arnold in this review, thats because in almost all of his movies, Arnold is a larger then life guy who you could say is being himself, its how some people make that distinction between a movie actor or the movie star with Arnold being the star, you watch them on screen being themselves. Arnold on screen in this movie is supposed to act like someone else and being a spy and trying to blend into his surroundings like a big wheeler and dealer which he does a couple of times here doesn't work cause I have a hard time believeing that Arnold is anyone else but a scene chewing man of action and gusto. A different star would have been the best thing here to make this character work better. It's kinda why Arnolds The 6th Day movie got a pan, it's cause Arnold is trying to be an all around normal guy and it's the last thing we think of when he's on screen. Maybe he can leap off the screen and get in a better movie.

Several oral devices have been tested to treat people with
snoring, including a tongue-retaining device that is
worn while sleeping. It pushes the tongue and jaw forward, improving airflow.
Changing the position of the lower jaw enlarges the airway and decreases the
chance that it will collapse when you inhale. This may reduce snoring. This device is called a mandibular repositioning device.
Some oral breathing devices supply electrical stimulation to the
throat muscles to prevent the airway from collapsing when you sleep.
shows that oral breathing devices can reduce snoring.1
Possible problems with devices that fit inside the mouth may
Excess saliva in your mouth and mild discomfort should become less
bothersome with regular use.

New Facade For Smokey's Barbershop And Oldies
The slow transformation of H continues as yet another longtime business has gotten a new storefront: Smokey's Barbershop and Oldies (1338 H St). I think the scissors are particularly a nice touch (they formerly appeared to the right of the shop's name, now they hover more prominently above it). I've gotten a haircut or two here. Have any of you stopped by Smokey's?
ps: The Sin Bin sports bar will open soon next door to Smokey's at 1336 H St. Construction progress appears to be moving along well, from the outside looking in.

For the first time, anyone can find out the current conditions on thousands of rivers and streams across the country, right from their phone, using USGS' latest system WaterNow. WaterNow makes the water conditions monitored by more than 16,000 streamgages and other sites across the country available via text or email.
Like its predecessor and companion program, WaterAlert, WaterNow seeks to make USGS gage information for streamflow, groundwater levels, springs, water quality, and lake levels more readily available to the general public. These data have been available for over 10 years at USGS Water Data for the Nation, which requires a web browser to access.
"USGS is the world's largest provider of hydrologic information, and our streamgages are a vital part of that water infrastructure," said USGS Associate Director for Water Bill Werkheiser. "WaterNow brings that information straight from our streamgages to your smartphone, and keeps USGS data flowing at the cutting edge."
Knowing about current water conditions is important for a variety of purposes, from disaster planning and response to recreation. For example, water levels in streams can be checked during floods to guide evacuations or on a bright weekend morning to plan a day of paddling.
Land and resource managers can benefit from WaterNow too. Not only can water levels be obtained, but also water temperatures can be checked to determine when it is necessary to release water from a reservoir to protect downstream trout fisheries.
WaterNow expands on the service provided by the USGS WaterAlert service. WaterAlert provides a notification only when conditions exceed a threshold set by a user, whereas WaterNow provides data anytime on demand. These data are collected typically at 15 to 60-minute intervals, stored onsite, and then transmitted to USGS offices every hour.
So how does it work? It's easy! All you have to do is find the gage you are interested in using instructions found on the WaterNow page, and then send a message to firstname.lastname@example.com with the site number of the gage you would like to get updates from.
You will receive a reply within a few minutes that includes the most recent values of water level and streamflow, if available for that site. These data are by far the mostly frequently requested; therefore, they have been pre-set as defaults. Data values are also available for other kinds of data-collection sites such as wells, springs, and lakes.
For complete instructions and guides on what types of data might be useful to you or which streamgages might be of interest to you, visit the USGS WaterNow site.

Big man Joel Embiid officially made his pick.By Nick Ratliff
Hello and welcome to the Recruiting Trail Signing Day 2012 Extravaganza. In this week's blog, I will go in-depth on each of the 5 signees in Bill Self's class of 2013. But first, some good news and some bad news.
First, the bad news. Late Thursday night (about a half hour before I started writing this), 5-star forward Aaron Gordon from San Jose, California narrowed his list of schools down from six to three. The Kansas Jayhawks, who have heavily recruited the talented, high-flying forward, did not make the cut. Gordon's three remaining schools are Arizona, Kentucky and Washington, with Arizona being the pick sometime in the spring in my opinion.
Now on to some happier developments. As was the main focus in last week's blog, 4-star center Joel Embiid said he would announce his college decision sometime this week between Kansas, Florida and Texas with the early signing period starting on Wednesday. That day came on Tuesday, and Bill Self and Kansas were the choice. Embiid made the commitment official by signing a National Letter of Intent on Thursday. Of all of the high caliber prospects in this year's class for Kansas, Embiid by far possesses the most potential. Only having played basketball for a little more than a year, Embiid is still learning the game. However, the 7'0", 220 pound center seems to be learning at a highly accelerated rate, and that is what gives him so much upside. Embiid at this stage of his development is a very good rebounder and good but not great shot blocker with a very skilled but still developing offensive game.
The class that Embiid joins is one of the best, if not THE best that Bill Self has ever put together, anywhere he has been. Signing on Wednesday were guards Frank Mason and Conner Frankamp. Mason, a three star guard currently attending Massanutten Military Academy in Petersburg, Virginia, is the most under the radar player in the class, but possibly the most underrated. Many recruiting analysts have pointed out that he may be underrated and moving up their respective rankings soon. Mason is already averaging a double-double this season. The quality that Bill Self values most about Mason is his toughness. Don't be surprised if Frank Mason is doing big things in a Jayhawk uniform three or four years down the road.
Conner Frankamp said on Wednesday when he signed that playing for Kansas is a life-long dream. Frankamp put pen to paper to make that a reality. The 6'0" 160 pound guard from Wichita, Kansas took almost no time at all committing to the Jayhawks when a scholarship offer was extended to him way back in his sophomore year. The thing that Frankamp will immediately bring to the table for Bill Self is three-point shooting. Frankamp may be the most lethal high school shooter in America this year. As Frankamp continues to develop as a player, Frankamp most certainly has the potential to become a guard in the mold of Kansas great Kirk Hinrich, a player that Frankamp most certainly idolized as a child, growing up a life-long Jayhawk fan. Next year, Frankamp will be on the court in Allen Fieldhouse instead of watching in the stands.
On Thursday, 5-star small forward Brannen Greene from Tifton, Georgia signed on the dotted line, joining Joel Embiid as a Thursday signee. Greene is one of the least talked about recruits in the class on message boards and in the media, despite being the highest ranked recruit and probably most developed at this stage. Greene is a 6'7" 200 pound forward that can do it all. He is terrific in transition and is also a dead-eye shooter from beyond the arc like Frankamp. Defensively, Bill Self will try to mold Greene into a lockdown perimeter defender, utilizing his length and athleticism. It is not far-fetched at all to say that Green has the talent and skills to play in the NBA after he leaves Kansas.
And finally, rounding out the class and signing on Friday is guard Wayne Selden. Selden has been one of the most talked about recruits in the short history of this blog, and for good reason. After reclassifying from the class of 2014 to 2013 this summer, Selden began the recruiting process and committed to Bill Self shortly after his visit to Late Night in the Phog in October. Selden is one of the most physically imposing shooting guards you will find, standing at 6'5" and weighing in at 230 pounds. Aside from looking like the Greek god Adonis, Selden possesses a ton of versatility and great basketball skills. Selden can play the point guard, shooting guard and small forward positions, and is one of the best perimeter defenders in high school basketball. Selden's court vision and distributing ability are excellent too, so don't be surprised to see him playing point guard for Kansas in the coming seasons. I said it when he committed and I will say it again: if you could create a prospect in a lab for what Bill Self wants in a guard, Wayne Selden would be the closest thing to that prospect you can find.
That's it for the Recruiting Trail this week. Check back next week for more KU recruiting news and notes.
