(PRWEB) June 25, 2014
After nearly a half-century of service to the firm, bridge engineering expert Donald F. Sorgenfrei has announced his retirement from his position as Senior Vice President at Modjeski and Masters, Inc. effective June 30, 2014, but plans to continue working on a part-time basis.
Sorgenfrei most recently oversaw the operations of the New Orleans Office and the field services of the entire firm. In addition, he served as a senior technical advisor for many of the firm's bridge projects and a frequently sought bridge engineering resource for the railroad industry.

"He is directly responsible for continuing our tradition of technical excellence and dedication to providing our clients with the best solutions to meet their needs and forming many of the strong ties that bind Modjeski and Masters to the railroad community. Railroad personnel have often expressed how much they have enjoyed the special occasions that they got to work with Don, how much they have appreciated his expertise as a Bridge Engineer, and how much their counterparts on the other railroads always held him in high regards due to his years of experience at Modjeski and Masters.

"As a second generation Modjeski and Masters engineer, I have seen 70+ years of life with the firm. It is amazing the technological advances in that time: from laborious means of surveying (chaining, turning angles and using log tables) to using satellites and from slide rules to computers," said Sorgenfrei. "Modjeski and Masters has done a great job in keeping up with technological advances, and it must to survive. The Firm's name stands for the highest level of bridge engineering competency. It has been a wonderful and challenging career working on so many bridges and being associated with the best engineers in the industry. Keep it going!"

I don't remember thinking about anything, but I reacted without hesitation and grabbed the arm of the victim and started quickly leading him away from the scene of the fight. He offered no resistance to what I was doing. I frankly doubt that he could even think coherently in the sad state he was in. I moved him quickly out the other end of the car and walked him down further about three cars away from the scene of the fight. I wanted to get far enough away in case the other man tried to follow…

Significant Snow Still PossibleJanuary 27th, 2014 at 9:16 pm by Tiffany Savona WAVY under Weather
Here is an update to Jeremy's afternoon blog. Jeremy mentioned that the European model was the driest model earlier this afternoon. Well the newest European update falls more in line with the other models (NAM and GFS). This is a good sign that computer models are coming into better agreement. We always look at trends. The EURO was once a dry outlier. With the EURO now showing a wetter solution, we have more confidence in our forecast. However, things can still CHANGE. The cold air is here, but the area of low pressure has not developed yet. That low should develop off the coast of Georgia and South Carolina tomorrow morning. Keep in mind that if the low forms in a different spot, the forecast will change dramatically. So…right now all we can do is wait. With the confidence increasing for a significant snow event, the National Weather Service did issue Winter Storm Warnings for most of the region, all areas highlighted in pink. Our extreme northern counties are under a Winter Weather Advisory (purple highlighted areas). These areas may see some accumulating snow, but it will not be nearly as much as areas to the south.
I think our latest Future Trak snow totals map is doing a pretty good job with estimated snow totals. Heaviest band of snow should set up across the Southside and Northeast North Carolina.
Keep in mind this is just one model. Here is my latest thinking regarding the potential snow totals.
I think that some isolated areas could see close to 12″ of snow. There will also be a very sharp gradient in regards to snow totals. If we see a slight shift in the track of the low, then these forecast snow totals will change. Lets look at the timing of this system. We should start off Tuesday morning dry, but it will be downright cold and breezy. Winds will be blowing out of the north at 15-25 mph with gusts up to 30mph. Wind chill values will be in single digits, so bundle up! Future Trak has snow moving into North Carolina just before 12 PM.
The snow will move in from south to north and should be moving into the Southside between 2-3 PM. The snow will only get heavier and more widespread as we get closer to the evening commute. So if you can take a half day or leave early, I think it would be a good idea.
Travel will be impacted during the evening commute. Snow will be coming down and accumulating on the roads since temperatures will be in the 20s. Winds will be blowing the snow around reducing visibilities. The snow will continue Tuesday night and into early Wednesday morning. The latest models have the snow ending from west to east well before Noon on Wednesday. Don't expect a lot of melting on Wednesday as high temperatures will only be in the 20s.
My full forecast is coming on WAVY News 10 at 11. Meteorologist Jeremy Wheeler will be in Tuesday morning with another update on WAVY News 10 starting at 4:30 AM. The forecast could still change, so stay tuned.

Stepping Into The Spotlight: Traci Braxton Receives A Record Deal
Traci Braxton is the loud outspoken younger sister of Toni Braxton, and is also a cast member of the hit reality show The Braxton Family Values. On the show Traci is often portrayed as the "wild child" or the "black Sheep" of the family. Throughout every season of the show, Traci has made it very clear that she would like to pursue a music career that doesn't involve singing back-up for her older sister.
Well now it looks like Traci is going to get her chance to show the world what she can do, according to S2S Magazine. Traci recently revealed that she has signed a record deal with E One, and that she has a single that will be dropping later this month. According to Traci, her sound is a mixture of Mary J Blige and Jill Scott, and she has some pretty heavy hitters helping her out with her debut album. "Tank wrote a couple of songs on my album, and Raheem DeVaughn is doing a duet with me," Traci said while at this year's Essence Music Fest. Traci's album will drop October 14th, and the new season of The Braxton Family Values is set to air in August on WEtv.

Danity Kane Rock Los Angeles As A Trio
MrsGrapevine was front and center last night as the girls of Danity Kane reunited on stage at Los Angeles' Universal CityWalk performing for the first time as a trio. Without former bandmates D. Woods and Aundrea Fimbres the remaining 'Making the Band' girls Aubrey O'Day, Dawn Richard, and Shannon Bex are forging ahead and (as you will see) are still 'showtoppin'! Click and play some of the must-see footage from last night's concert below…
Danity Kane is still on fire! No lip-syncing and killin' harder dance moves than ever, the trio packed a memorable punch to the mammoth crowd. Treating fans to classics hits (above) and sampling some new cuts the girls ended their one-hour set with their new summer anthem 'Lemonade'.
On the red carpet before the event the girls promised that there is an album in the works, nearly completed and that a visual for Lemonade would be dropping soon.
Re-conquering the music scene will no doubt prove an uphill battle for the now seasoned DK yet its critical to keep in mind the previous success of the group. Their two previous albums performed incredibly well on the charts. Flashback to their debut album which sold over 90,000 copies in its first day of release, the self-titled record Danity Kane officially sold 234,662 copies its first week, placing it at number one on the U.S charts. Those numbers are near unheard of these days!
Shoutout to the girls who must be commended for putting on a truly memorable live experience. Keep an eye out for these girls, they are not ready to dissolve into the musical landscape anytime soon!
Chris Brown & Drake In The Studio Together; Chris Brown & Karrueche Still Together!
Uh-oh, something good is in the works, Drake and Chris Brown spotted in the studio together. They have been able to put their differences aside regarding, you know who, to finally do what they do best…make music. Ever since Chris Brown has gotten out of jail he's been on a music mission, a collaboration with Usher, August Alsina, and now Drake.
Although rumor has it that Chris Brown and Karrueche have broken up, guess who is also spotted in the studio with Breezy. Check out the photo below when you continue:Read More
New Music: Elle Varner ft. A$AP Ferg "Don't Wanna Dance" / Claudette Ortiz "Automatic"
Earlier this year Elle Varner treated her fans to new music as apart of her 4 Letter Word project. Now she is back with a new track featuring A$AP Ferg. "Don't Wanna Dance" is expected to appear on her sophomore album, which has yet to receive an official release date. In the song Elle sings about missing the one that she loves and not wanting to dance while in the club with her friends.

New Music: Usher ft. Nicki Minaj "She Came To Give It To You"
Last time Usher and Nicki Minaj teamed up was for his single "Lil Freak" and now the two are at it again for is new single "She Came To Give It To You". The Pharrell produced track is expected to appear on Usher's latest project, and he is definitely coming with the hits this time around. For his second single Usher offers up a track that is a little more up tempo and I can guarantee this one will definitely top the charts as well.

New Music Video: Jazmine Sullivan ft. Meek Mill "Dumb"
I think it's pretty safe to say that Jazmine Sullivan's comeback is definitely in full effect. Back in May she released her new single "Dumb" featuring Meek Mill, which is expected to appear on her new project Reality Show. In the music video, cheaters are being exposed. Each cheater that's exposed and labeled as dumb just happen to be puppets or dummy's. The entire treatment for the video is pretty funny, but pretty accurate at the same time.

Thomas de Maiziere told Monday's edition of German daily taz: "the continued waffling by people who bear none of the responsibility creates expectations in regions like Syria, thereby causing terrible disappointment."
De Maiziere added that he finds it "barely bearable that some coffee house intellectuals call for the deployment of soldiers in the world without being accountable for it." His comments were confirmed by his ministry.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said Sunday he couldn't rule out a military intervention in Syria any longer, following similar statements from France.
Germany, however, remains staunchly opposed to a military intervention, saying it could too easily lead to all-out war.

Granger is a town in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, United States. The population was 139 at the 2010 census. It is located near the confluence of the Blacks Fork and the Hams Fork rivers. The geography of the area is flat with semi-arid scrub.
Early history: 1834–1868[edit]
Although the population has always been small, the site is located at the intersection of the Oregon Trail and the Overland Stage Trail and it was chosen for a stage coach station.[6] The station, which was built of stone and adobe in 1856, was in operation when Mark Twain passed through, and still stands today.[7] The Pony Express used this station[8] as a stopover in 1861-62. Later, in 1868, it became a stop on the railroad, which was when it started to be called Granger.[7]
The area of what is present-day Granger had significance to the mountain men who trapped in the early years of the American West. It was chosen as the site of their annual rendezvous in 1834[8] (the rendezvous was still somewhat spread out, as each supplier set up camp at different location along the river).[9] The American Fur Company, among other suppliers, were present, and American Indians and trappers traded furs for goods. Several weeks were spent recounting events from the previous year and reveling in assorted amusements, while lubricated with liquor. The records show that the event occurred at the junction of the Hams Fork and Blacks Fork rivers.[9]
Granger is located at 41°35′39″N 109°58′0″W / 41.59417°N 109.96667°W (41.594036, -109.966607).[10]

A Norwegian petroleum expert has cautioned Uganda not to pin its economic development hopes on oil revenues, predicting that in future the world oil prices are likely to decline.
Prof Aystein Noreng told journalists at the Norwegian embassy that due to the discovery of oil in many countries, there is likely to be more supply than demand in the future, hence the reduction in prices.
"It [oil] will be less profitable. Do not expect to earn enormous rewards," Noreng said.
He added that the development of alternative sources of energy like thermal and nuclear and production of electric cars would mean less reliance on oil in the future.
Noreng advised that for developing countries like Uganda to benefit maximally from their oil, they should get involved in the entire value chain, from drilling to refining.
So far at least 3.5 billion barrels of oil have been discovered in Uganda. Production is expected to start by 2017 after the construction of a refinery and predictably there is a lot of excitement and hope that the resource will push the country towards the middle-income status it aspires.
Over a span of 30 years, it is estimated that the country could reap more than U.S $100 billion. However, some analysts have expressed pessimism that the oil revenues, if not well managed, could turn the country into a basket case like it has happened in some oil-producing countries.
Too much oil:
Noreng disagreed with predictions that the world will run out of oil in the near future as some people have said. He said the ratio between oil reserves in most oil-producing countries and annual production had remained fairly constant because of new technologies invested in oil production, ensuring that demand does not outstrip the supply.
He also said recent oil discoveries in countries like Uganda and Kenya mean that there is a lot of unexplored oil in the ground. He said there is a general assumption that supply and demand evolve independently of each other and, therefore, a disaster might occur if supply does not meet the demand.
"This view negates the significance of the market and prices; in practice, oil consumption cannot exceed available volume through production and inventory reduction," he said.
Noreng argues that if oil prices are too high, demand will decline while if they are low, incentives to explore for oil and develop oil fields will weaken and recovery will gradually decline.
"The oil market is characterized by imperfect competition, which means the price can stay well above production costs, as long as consumers pay," he said.

Mombasa — On the night of August 12, three Ugandan army Mi-24 helicopter gunships operating under the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) umbrella crashed in mysterious circumstances over Mount Kenya. The combat helicopters were en-route to Kismayo to combat the Islamist militants al-Shabaab when the crashes occurred, killing seven crew members and leaving twenty-one injured.
The event has raised a number of questions. In the aftermath of the incident, Jeje Odongo, Uganda's Minister for Defence, was quick to assert that "preliminary information suggests that it was the weather to blame", while Colonel Felix Kulayigye, Uganda's military spokesperson, commented "an accident is an accident".
Some, however, believe that the reasons behind the crashes go a little deeper and that the tragedies were avoidable, pointing to Uganda's poor record with helicopters, corruption in the armed forces, and history of buying outdated military equipment at inflated costs. Uganda has begun a probe into the crashes - with Kenya committing to cooperate - but with the investigations being led by General Salim Saleh, who may have had a role in purchasing the vehicles originally, some are concerned a conflict of interests could compromise the findings.
Outdated aircrafts?
Uganda's military has an unfortunate record of disastrous aircraft crashes. In 2005, the south Sudanese rebel leader John Garang was killed when the helicopter he was riding in - supplied by the Ugandan army - crashed into a mountain. And just last year, a Russian-made fighter jet was reportedly forced into a crash-landing at the Entebbe airport.
The three helicopters which crashed in August had been acquired by the Ugandan military in 2003, and some have pointed to the quality, age and maintenance of Uganda's aircraft in explaining the country's record.
Kulayigye believes Mi-24 helicopters can have a life span of twenty years if well-maintained, but engineering expert David Morara Okioma, speaking to Think Africa Press, explains: "There is no doubt that the age of the Russian-made Mi-24 helicopter gunships was a major contributory factor".
He continues: "They first appeared in the Russian arsenal more than 30 years ago. The Russians used these gunships in the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. They were also used by Russia's allies in the Angolan civil war, in the South African invasion of Namibia, and in the Mozambique civil war among others - they are very old machines.
"No matter how well you maintain them, there comes a time when you cannot do anymore - aerodynamic stresses will have negatively affected the structural integrity of the aircraft."
Second-hand sales
Following the break up of the Soviet Union, the country began to dispose of much of its arsenal to allies. But the procurement of ex-Soviet equipment sheds light not just on the nature of the Cold War and Russia, but on Ugandan politics.
"If you factor corruption and nepotism into the procurement processes of states like Uganda, then one can never rule out the possibility that...someone could have happily signed off the purchase of what were effectively junk Mi-24 attack helicopter gunships," Okioma continues.
Since the late-1980s, Uganda has been dealing the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a rebel group which terrorised areas of northern Uganda up to the early-2000s. In this battle, Uganda enjoyed considerable foreign donor support, and as defence spending grew from $42 million in 1992 to $260 million in 2010, it is believed the Ugandan military began acquiring larger supplies of 'junk' vehicles and weaponry at inflated prices in deals involving bribes and kickbacks.
In a scandal that cost the government millions in 1996, for example, General Salim Saleh purchased four second-hand Mi-24 helicopters without inspection, which were later declared not airworthy. Indeed, large and non-transparent military expenditures have become common - possibly because such practices work as a form of patronage for military chiefs by President Yoweri Museveni.
Talking logistics
In the crashes over Mount Kenya, however, logistical failures were also crucial. Okioma explains: "The Russian Mi-24 attack helicopter gunships are very sophisticated aircrafts. Compared to fixed wing aircrafts, the Mi-24 gunships have a lot more piloting controls and many moving parts. They therefore require precision training to fly them.
"We must also ask whether the Ugandan helicopter pilots were familiar with the geo-morphological features - such as valleys, mountains, and bodies of water - which their flight path took them through.
"The Mi-24 gunship is a heavily armoured aircraft. In fact some sections of its body are built with up to eight inches of strong titanium steel. Since the gunships were headed for combat, it is also very probable that they were carrying extra ordinance or ammunition - and of course the eight crew members.
"With all that weight, therefore, the aircrafts needed to have been flying at very low altitude to maximise their engine performance - which was not the case with these tragic Ugandan choppers. High altitude flight places very high fuel demands on an aircraft as heavy as the Mi-24 gunship - and that automatically limits its flying range."
Questions also remain about the formation in which the pilots were flying and the competency of those performing maintenance on the planes.
Okioma continues: "Under normal circumstances, Mi-24 gunships are supposed to leave base for short 'sorties' [attack missions] and return to base for routine maintenance, refuelling, and ordinance replenishment.
"Did the long trip from Uganda to Somalia via Kenya mean that the Mi-24 gunships were pushed to fly way beyond their strict flying range? Were the gunships bought with extended range fuel tanks already fitted? If not, then had Uganda developed the necessary technical expertise to install extended range fuel tanks and effectively maintain the Russian made Mi-24 gunships?
Secondly, before embarking on the fateful leg, the Uganda army Mi-24 gunships stopped over in Eldoret [in western Kenya] for refuelling. Two questions arise here: Did Kenya have the right kind of fuel for these Russian made Mi-24 attack helicopter gunships? And did Kenya have competent engineers and technicians to carry out routine maintenance after the long flight from Uganda to Kenya?"
An impartial investigation?
As of yet, the investigating committee set up to probe the incident has not released any findings, but many MPs are already sceptical. Many in Uganda have contested the make-up of the committee, headed by General Salim Saleh, a man who has no record of aircraft expertise but who does have a record of procuring junk helicopters.
Furthermore, Uganda does not have a good record on publicly releasing the results of military-headed investigative commissions; the probe into the 2005 crash killing Garang being one example.
Whatever the reasons and circumstances for the crashes, for enquiries to be fruitful, they must also be honest. Given the hand of politics not only in acquiring the helicopters but in probing their downfall, one can only wonder if this investigation too, will crash and burn.

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. After much suspense, media conglomerate IDG has relaunched its brand Industry Standard. This time, Industry Standard is a site that lets you predict the outcome of future events. It lets you bet virtual money ("Standard $") and awards you prizes for doing well. For example, it lets you bet whether Yahoo will accept Microsoft's acquisition bet (see image top left), or whether Yahoo will ever launch its GPS platform Fire Eagle. It has a leaderboard to show who is doing well, and lets people connect with friends to see how they have bet. There's an FAQ here. It's surprising how many people I run into these days who don't remember the old Industry Standard (usually, folks I meet who are in there 20's, even in Silicon Valley, have never heard of it). The Standard was a technology magazine that rose to fame during the Internet boom for its slick, often breathless coverage of the age's Internet companies. It expanded to such a great girth that it was almost too heavy to carry around — people complained it was like a phonebook. It went poof after the Internet bubble burst, when advertising dried up and left it with no cash (here's an account of the saga). It's somewhat symbolic that the site is launching now, on the cusp of another possible downturn in the economy (though it's unclear how strongly online advertising will fall, if at all). Almost a year ago, the folks at IDG approached me and asked whether they could syndicate VentureBeat's content to run alongside the predictions site. They looked up other authors, too, such as Guy Kawasaki and venture capitalist Fred Wilson. I agreed, figuring it'd be fun to try out. There's a handful of other prediction markets and sites out there (we've mentioned Hubdub, and pointed to a dozen others), but the Standard focuses solely on the online economy. I haven't been part of the planning or the organization of the site. The IDG folks just told me today that they were launching, but I tinkered with it a few months ago. See screenshots below; they've given me and several others a profile page. Soon my profile may be filled with a listing of the bets I've made (I haven't started yet). We're given $100,000 Standard to start out with. Derek Butcher, the IDG exec who is overseeing the project, said he wants to make this a place where people can come to see what people are talking about in the tech world. Try it out. Feedback welcome.

Our starlet took his place at the heart of Algeria's central midfield operation as they sought to contain Belgium in Tuesday's Group H curtain-raiser.
Two goals from the Red Devils in the final 20 minutes of that match consigned Nabil's nation to a 2-1 defeat.
But with a fresh chance to get off the mark against South Korea this evening, kick-off 8pm, 19-year-old Nabil is eager to take maximum points from the game.
"I know about South Korea and I know they're a very good team," he said. "They're maybe not quite as strong physically, but they can pass the ball really well.
"I think we have to be careful against them."

How can I make my GUI application run on windows startup on a modified Windows box that will not start explorer.exe.
- Placing a link in Programs -> Startup folder doesn't get executed.
- My Application is graphical so I cannot just modify application to run as a service.
I have an application that needs to run on a dedicated PC which is used to generate content for Digital Signage. It's the type of software that generates the announcements and various slideshow content which you see displayed on Plasma / LCD Screens in large organizations.
I've had experience with several different vendors of such content management software and they all basically build a windows application and then strip out things from windows to prevent any kind of popup from showing up etc. One one of the vendors I'm dealing with right now, windows has been modified such that explorer.exe doesn't start.
The run on startup functionality of our program makes use of a link in the Startup Folder. What i've found is that since explorer.exe isn't running neither does my application.
When the computer starts up it automatically boots into the run mode for the digital signage application which starts displaying the programmable content. You can press CTRL-ALT-DELETE and kill their program and then start explorer.exe from the taskmanager. After about a second or so... i see my application start.
So, my question is - How can I make my application load on a Windows box that will not start explorer.exe. Anyone know if say using a registry key in the Run folder would work even in the absence of explorer? Is there some other way way to make program runs on startup?
Edit: Accepted Answer Implementation Notes
I implemented the approach in the accepted answer. Thanks for all the suggestions.
Here are some links which i found useful in implementing it. I never did try the registry key approach. If someone confirms that it would execute w/o explorer.exe loading, please leave a comment.

The internal crisis in Egypt has indulged the country in its most critical foreign relations test since these relations were shaped by the U.S. sponsored Camp David accords and the peace treaty with Israel in 1979.
An indicator is the warnings against travel to Egypt from east and west, which are exacerbating the rapidly shrinking tourism industry. Stopping production in Egypt by industrial giants like General Motors, Toyota Motor Corp. and Suzuki Motor Corp. is a second indicator. Summons of foreign envoys to Egypt by their governments, which invoked similar Egyptian reciprocal summons, is a third indicator. A fourth was cancelling the U.S. military's participation in next month's Operation Bright Star in Egypt and delaying the delivery of four fighter jets to the country. Suspension of the sale of military equipment used for "internal repression" by the EU was a fifth. Threats to cut or suspend aid to Egypt by the U.S. and EU was another more important indicator.
In the immediate proximity, and three days after the ouster of the elected president Mohammed Morsi on July 3, the Peace and Security Council of the fifty – four member African Union decided "to suspend the participation of Egypt in AU activities until the restoration of constitutional order."
On August 20, South Africa, a leading member of the AU as well as the BRICS five – member association, issued a statement to remind the "interim government" in Cairo that its "principled position is based on the Constitutive Act of the African Union, where any unconstitutional change of government – whatever the premise – is specifically rejected" immediately.
So far, the AU reaction is ironically the only concrete international diplomatic measure taken in defense of the western widely trumpeted rule of law and democracy. The African "sphere" is traditionally only second to the Arab one as a cornerstone of Egypt's foreign policy.
However, Denmark announced the suspension of aid to Egypt. The UK Foreign Secretary William Hague on Monday announced the suspension of all British joint programs with the Egyptian intelligence services and the export of "some" items to Egypt. Germany's development minister, Dirk Niebel, said Monday that Egypt will get "no further pledges this year" of aid from Berlin and added he has decided "that we won't negotiate this year" on any debt relief for the country. A day earlier, Chancellor Angela Merkel warned that her country would halt previously approved arms shipments to Egypt, but as part of a coordinated EU response.
Most likely the U.S. allies' final reaction will wait until the U.S. administration ends its open –ended stance, but while U.S. allies follow in its footsteps, the U.S. rival world powers grudgingly dealt with the emergence of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) as the leaders of the "Arab Spring" changes in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen and Libya as a fait accompli; the removal of the Egyptian MB from power is a welcome development.
Ahead of their meeting in Brussels last Wednesday, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said that "no options would be off the table" at the meeting of his counterparts of the EU 28-member countries. Presidents of the European council and European commission, Herman Van Rompuy and José Manuel Barroso, warned jointly on Sunday that further escalation could have "unpredictable consequences." The European Union threatened that it will "urgently review" its aid to Egypt, but, like the U.S. threat, it's just a warning that has yet to materialize.
The EU and its member states last year pledged a combined 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) in loans and aid for Egypt.
"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Similarly China remained relatively quiet. On August 15, the foreign ministry in a statement said the country was following "closely the situation in Egypt," urged "maximum restraint" and "dialogue" to "restore order and social stability."
"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">In 2011, Sino-Egyptian trade rose to US$8.8 billion, a 30 percent increase from 2010, according to Regional Strategy Unraveling
Short of designating the ouster and detention of Morsi a "coup" and short of condemning the dispersal on August 14, by what critics described as an "excessive use of force," of two MB – led sit – ins in Cairo's Raba'a al- Adawiyah and al-Nahdha squares, as an Egyptian copy of the Chinese "Tiananmen Square" in 1989, the un-decisive United States has put itself and Egypt in their most testing foreign policy dilemma.
The United States is finding itself swaying between "cutting" its aid to Egypt and "reprogramming" it and because it is torn between its foreign policy rhetoric of democracy and the more realistic benefits of stability, Washington stands now reluctant to proclaim the involvement of the Egyptian military in the removal of Morsi a "coup." U.S. allies are held hostage to this U.S. ambivalent position.
The bipartisan Working Group on Egypt, quoted by the Washington Post on August 15, demanded a shift in U.S. policy towards Egypt; the group considered President Barak Obama's "failure" to cut aid a "strategic error."
However there is a strategic U.S. asset that successive administrations have considered an incomparable "vital" interest outweighing this "strategic error." Egypt expert at the London School of Economics, John Chalcraft, had this explanation: The U.S. military aid "is a strategic rent that comes to Egypt in return, above all, for the ongoing Camp David Peace Treaty with Israel. So the significance of it is political and geopolitical, more than it is economic." U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki, on August 21, confirmed this justification for her government's ambivalent stance, though indirectly: "We have seen our aid to Egypt as something that is vital for our own national security purposes, for regional stability."
No surprise then the United National Security Council (UNSC), in its "emergency" meeting on August 15, which was urged by Turkey and jointly requested by France, Britain and Australia, had nothing to say more than urging the parties in Egypt to "exercise maximum restraint."
Egypt is the largest and strategically the most important Arab country, where the U.S. regional strategy could make or break.
Strategically, the internal crisis in Egypt has put the U.S. strategy of courting "moderate" Islamist political movements on the brink.
In his inauguration speech in January 2009, Obama signaled his intention to seek a fresh understanding with Islam and Muslims. Within a few months his "intention" had unfolded as a strategy that culminated in the end in an "understanding" with the MB, the oldest, largest and perceived as the most moderate among the Islamist movements.
On June 4, 2009 in Cairo, Obama declared: "I've come here to Cairo to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world." A few days later in Istanbul he confirmed: ""The United States is not and will never be at war with Islam. In fact, our partnership with the Muslim world is critical … America's relationship with the Muslim community, the Muslim world, cannot be based just on the opposition to terrorism. We seek broader engagement."
His allies in Qatar and the Islamist leaders of the ruling Justice and Development party in Turkey joined forces and played a detrimental role in swaying the U.S. towards this conclusion.
The MB was born in Egypt. Eighty five years later it has proved a survival. It developed into an international organization in more than eighty countries in which the Egyptian Muslim Brethren are still playing the leading role. With their assumption of power in Egypt's 2012 elections, their offshoot ruling now in Turkey, their Palestinian offshoot Hamas ruling in the Gaza Strip, the leading roles their brethren are playing in the governments of Tunisia, Yemen and Morocco, the leading roles they are playing in the opposition in other Arab countries, and with the sponsorship of the financial magnet of Qatar, the MB has become a power per se to be reckoned with.
Following the Qatari and Turkish examples, the U.S. perceived in it a potential ally and planned its regional strategy accordingly.
With the removal of Morsi and the MB from power in Egypt, this U.S. strategy is unraveling now.
mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";
color:blue">No Business as Usual
The U.S. is leading the western condemnation of the crackdown on the MB and urging an "inclusive" political process that would make them an integral part of any future restructuring of the ruling system.
This line of U.S. thinking is creating an international environment that is fueling the MB defiance, which would inevitably perpetuate the violence and the crisis, the interim government in Cairo says.
This is exactly what leads the U.S. – led west to a collision course with the incumbent interim government, who accuse Morsi and his brethren are of leading a year – long effort of exclusion of all the other political players. The MB exclusion policies are said to be the major factor that led to the demise of their rule. The new rulers insist on inclusion of the MB on their own terms.
They accuse the world's condemnation of their "excessive use of force" as a contribution to what some of their commentators say it is a "war of attrition" waged by the MB against the Egyptian state, its interim government and defense forces.
More than 100 army and police officers were among no less than one thousand people killed since July 3rd. Michael W. Hanna, an expert on Egypt from the New York-based Century Foundation, was quoted by AP on Monday as saying: "Sure civil war is a possibility."
Obviously, Egypt's post – Morsi rulers do not share the U.S. and European view of the MB as "moderates" who could be "included."
U.S. bilateral relations with Egypt seem about to head to a turning point, but for sure at least there is "no doubt" that Washington "can't return to business as usual" with Cairo as Obama told CNN on August 23.

Should of bought one long ago
By Kdog
from Detroit
See all my reviews
Clamp mechanism is very well designed and its best asset. Stand is more than adequate for my use and I have a quite a few bikes from steel ones made in the seventies on up to the lightweight carbon treks, also a long wheelbase recumbent which is just too long to be practical to lift the entire bike. The two base supports are long and swing down when moving the stand but not really an issue for me but a shop may want one with a solid base. It makes working on bikes very easy and I wish I had one long ago.

A nearly perfect workstand.
By John
from Ellsworth, ME
For me a workstand needs to have adjustable height, a 360 degree rotatable clamp, and be very stable. The clamp itself is a screw clamp and is reasonably quick to adjust but not as easy to use as a lever-operated clamp. But at the PCS-9's price it's a reasonable trade-off.While the stand folds up, don't plan on it being easy to transport. The PCS-9 is heavy. On the other hand, it is pretty hard to damage the thing and I expect it to support anything short of a recumbent. I do a fair amount of wrenching and it does everything I need it to do.

We were at the park by the elementary school. I took off my heels and stepped out of the car. The grass was slightly damp on my bare feet so when I stepped in the sand it stuck to my feet. I ran to the swings like a kid trying to get the last one. He followed me his hands in his pockets. He stopped at the edge of the grass watching me. I pumped my bare legs back and forth and started to swing.
"Take off your shoes and join me."
He crossed the sand and leaned against the metal post to take his shoes and socks off. He bent down to roll up his suit pants. I watched his hands as I had so many times. He came over sitting in the swing next to mine.

I am not a goody two shoes - far from it - but to me there is something morally wrong with buying and supporting Black listed phones = just to save a few bucks.
you are in effect supporting the people who stole the phone in the first place - I would rather pay a premium price for a new phone and know that I am not getting a deal because of someone elses misfortune than pay less for a black listed phone just to save money,
If you have ever had a phone stolen from you - I think you would agree - buying a black listed phone is not a victimless crime it can perpetrate the original theft and we should all consider avoiding that....all black listed phones are probably not stolen - but how do you know?

Hi everyone.
OK ... I've just finished changing the name and decorating the place, and I'm actually all busy organising my summer trip to Portugal, with half my brain already there waiting for the rest of me to follow.
It will be my longest trip ever : eighteen days of exploring and visiting. We start with Porto and finish with Lisbon with many stages in between. We'll spend a few days in the Serra da estrela (mountain of the star) which I take for the best possible blessing as far as light and photography are concerned.
Material organisation has already been taken care of, with a nice "Roadbook" full of maps and plans to find places easily and to avoid losing time.
I'm now deep into where and what to see : the major things as well as the ordinary ones such as food markets (always !) and pastries shops since Portugal seems to be a place with lots of sweet delights. But there's also a famous bookshop in Porto. Roman, Moorish and Jewish heritages in some places. And hundreds of churchs and chapels everywhere in old towns and remote villages.
Some big decisions still have to be taken concerning which cameras to take. This is a BIG question as you can guess ! I"ll bring the digital Canon of course. One medium format, the Fuji probably, with lots of Ekar films. I'm still wondering about bringing a Polaroid or not ...
Besides cameras, I'm bringing gorgeous notebooks to enjoy myself in journaling games. Being away from home is always a great time to think about things and let thoughts express themselves more freely. And I'll also have a laptop to post you some pictures. Stay tuned ...
I wish you a slow and happy week ;o)

Cornwall leading the world at hyperfast link trial
Posted: November 15, 2012|
A "WORLD FIRST" was on show at a Truro company as hyperfast broadband became a reality.
BT has showed that infrastructure currently being installed to bring superfast broadband to Cornwall will make possible internet download speeds not previously thought possible.
The trial – held at the power resistor manufacturers Arcol at Threemilestone – offered a tantalising glimpse into the future in a live demonstration before assembled technology experts.
Superfast broadband gives download speeds of 80 megabytes per second (Mbps) but BT showed how the fibre being installed will be able to carry speeds up to 1,000 times faster, at 10 gigabytes per second (Gbps).
The trial saw multiple massive file downloads to a computer at the Arcol office which still failed to reach the full 10Gbps capacity.
Alun Morgan, technical director at Arcol, said the trial was a "proof of concept" which is exciting for Cornish businesses planning ahead.
He said: "No matter how much data the new networks want to push around, our cables will handle it.
"It's quite a nice feeling. It's not often that Cornwall has anything first technology-wise. It's indicative of what is happening because of the superfast network."
Arcol is already able to hold multiple video-conference conversations with international clients because of the superfast connection.
Ranulf Scarborough, from BT, said: "The fibre pipe will stay the same, but the electronics at either end will change.
"What we are showing you is a world-first customer trial of a 10Gbps connection."

Name of Your Cause
Cheerful Givers -- We provide toy-filled birthday gift bags for less fortunate parents to give to their child on their birthday. We believe this simple gesture boosts self-esteem, enhances self-worth and strengthens bonds in families.
Our goal this year is to make birthdays happy for more than 40,000 less fortunate children. But with one in every six kids in the USA now living in poverty, the need to do more is great.
Another aspect of our mission is to allow those who have few volunteer opportunities, including teens with disabilities and the elderly, a chance to give back to their community by assembling bags.
The One Very Best Thing About Your Cause
A child's birthday is a very special day, and we believe every child has the right to have it recognized. Its celebration is important to the development of self-esteem, and we know that self-esteem begins at home, and that healthy self-esteem is critical to a child's ability to develop and learn successfully.
However, for children who are living in poverty and/or homeless, birthdays pass with little or no celebration due to a family's limited financial resources. There are many children who do not believe they have a birthday, or that they deserve a birthday, since it is never celebrated. Our birthday bags send a message that every child is important.
- Plan a Birthday Bag Blitz with your friends, family, co-workers, school, church, civic or any group to assemble birthday bags. Can be done anytime and anywhere (at your own location). Group needs to provide the toys and items needed for the bags.
- Instead of buying gifts for your birthday or your family members/friends, consider asking others to make a donation which allows less fortunate children to have a happy birthday.
- Join our Birthday Club by donating $10 per month and know that every month a less fortunate child is celebrating their birthday with a gift from their parents because of you.
Why My Cause Is So Important
During December holidays, there is a heightened awareness of the need for children who are homeless and/or living in poverty to receive presents and many support that cause. Cheerful Givers is the only organization making sure that birthdays – all year long - are celebrated with gifts from parents.
How I Got Involved With My Cause
When I imagined what it would feel like as a parent not to be able to recognize my child's birthday, I was drawn to the cause as a volunteer. I got co-workers involved in filling birthday bags at lunch time and joined the board of directors. In 2003 I took on the one full-time position as President

I'd recomend it.. Its fast and pretty nice!
Which is faster - this ROM or the MoDaCo one?
I'm thinking of flashing a new ROM because I'm getting tired of the original one loading rubbish in the background
I'm trying the GALAXO ROM right now. To be honest, I'm not that impressed.
It is ever-so-slightly faster than the stock II5 ROM, but what annoys me is that I frequently get messages about programs crashing. Even unlocking the phone gives me an error message about something crashing.
Am I doing something wrong?
Did you install II5, then wipe, and then install update.zip? If you just updated to II5 and didnt wipe you may end up with a mess of a FS
also check here to kill extra unneeded processes:
You can leave compcache off (default) and still have 40mb free from boot.
Edited by harrispo, 25 October 2009 - 10:44 AM.
@ kam187 : I noticed on the Android Forums that you said you're assisting with the development of the Galaxo ROM. In that case, would it be OK to forward any concerns or suggestions to you?
In any case, as I said in the previous post, the ROM is now working quite well, but I still have 2 issues:
1. I frequently get the Force Close / Wait pop-up for random processes i.e. I'll open the camera to take a picture and I'll get a pop-up about the Messaging application, or I'll go into Handcent SMS and I'll get a pop-up about the Android Core. The funny thing is, if I press Wait, it works fine
2. The phone seems to "eat" my text messages at times. I primarily use Handcent SMS for texting (by the way, can you suggest a better program?) and I'll get a notification for a new text message but it won't appear in my inbox. It doesn't appear in the regular messaging program either. I have no idea where it goes. Restarting the phone seems to sort the problem out though
I'll be very grateful for any help you can give me

Once-touted corruption cases collapse in Mexico
MEXICO CITY Some of Mexico's most high-profile corruption cases have unraveled recently on thin or made-up evidence, reinforcing long-held notions that the Attorney General's Office is more focused on political vendettas or favors than justice.
Among the cases to collapse or suffer setbacks are those of a former drug czar and a former No. 2 in the Defense Department, both accused of links to drug cartels, as well as corruption proceedings related to a former governor of Coahuila state who saw $3 billion in public funds go missing during his tenure.
Experts say the faulty prosecutions are the product of questionable police work, organizational problems and a justice system dominated by political interests. All three cases began during the government of President Felipe Calderon and were thrown out or quietly shelved during the administration of President Enrique Pena Nieto.
"There is a deficiency in the organization, in the presentation of investigations. There are serious technical flaws," said Javier Oliva, a researcher at the National Autonomous University of Mexico who studies defense and security. "If the question is, `Why did these cases fail?', it is because they have no legal support."
The first to be freed was former anti-drug czar Noe Ramirez, who was arrested in 2008 in an internal sweep known as "Operation Clean House" on charges that he took $450,000 a month from the Beltran Leyva drug cartel.
Last week, a federal judge in western Nayarit state, where Ramirez had been held at a maximum security prison, ordered his release after determining that the main witness in the case lied and prosecutors might have fabricated evidence.
The case against Ramirez was launched following the arrest of Gerardo Garay, then the country's acting federal police chief, for stealing money from a Mexico City mansion during a drug raid, according to Samuel Gonzalez, who occupied Ramirez's anti-drug post a decade earlier.
Gonzalez said Garay's boss and ally, federal Public Safety Secretary Genaro Garcia Luna, was reportedly incensed by the arrest and demanded that Calderon prosecute someone at the Attorney General's Office in revenge.
"Garcia Luna was the one who demanded that Calderon go after Noe Ramirez, because charges had been brought against Garay, he wanted someone of the same level charged," Gonzalez said.
Two days after Ramirez was freed, retired army Gen. Tomas Angeles Dauahare was also ordered released after the Attorney General's Office dropped the drug corruption case against him because of a lack of evidence.
Angeles Dauahare, a former assistant defense secretary, told The Associated Press that he believes the case against him was also political.
He had openly criticized Calderon's strategy of cracking down on the drug cartels and appeared at a May campaign event for then-candidate Pena Nieto of the Institutional Revolutionary Party. Days after the campaign appearance, he and other senior military leaders were arrested on accusations of helping the Beltran Leyva cartel.
"They tried to destroy everybody who didn't share their opinions," Angeles Dauahare said of the Calerdon government. "The Attorney General's Office was used to carry out this reprisal."
