Diggers and their families will enjoy free travel on public transport to and from Anzac Day dawn services.
Veterans' Affairs Minister Victor Dominello announced on Wednesday that current and former Australian Defence Force personnel wearing their uniform or medals will be entitled to free travel on Sydney Trains and NSW TrainLink Intercity services, Sydney Ferries, regular bus services across Sydney and light rail while travelling to and from Anzac Day events.
"Spouses, children or grandchildren can also travel free by displaying their medals," Mr Dominello said.
"Widows, widowers, their children and grandchildren carrying a letter from their local RSL branch or other ex-services organisation or the War Widow's Gold Card will be able to travel free on these services as well."
Royal Australian Air Force Warrant Officer David Cronan, of Kellyville, said for the first time this year veterans of recent conflicts and peacekeeping missions — starting with Somalia and including Rwanda, Afghanistan, Iraq, East Timor and the Solomons — will lead Sydney's Anzac Day March.
The Castle Hill RSL Sub-Branch has organised a bus to take local veterans and peacekeepers to the Kellyville Dawn Service (bus departs the RSL at 5am), to the RSL for breakfast afterwards, and then on to Sydney, under police escort, for the city march.
ANZAC Day, April 25, is considered one of Australia's most important days of the year.
In 1915, Australian and New Zealand soldiers formed part of the Allied expedition that set out to capture the Gallipoli peninsula to open the Dardanelles (a strait between Europe and Asiatic Turkey) to the Allied navy.
The soldiers quickly became known as Anzacs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) and the pride they took in that name endures to this day.
The Australian and New Zealand forces landed at Gallipoli on April 25, meeting fierce resistance from the Turkish defenders.
At the end of 1915 the Allied forces were evacuated, after both sides had suffered heavy casualties and endured great hardships.
More than 8000 Australian soldiers were killed.
News of the landing at Gallipoli had made a profound impact at home and April 25 became the day on which Australians remembered the sacrifice of those who had died in the war.
Although the Gallipoli campaign failed in its military objectives, the Australian and New Zealand actions left a powerful legacy.
April 25 has become an occasion of national remembrance.

Edward O. Wilson Seminar Tickets
The Long Now Foundation's monthly
Seminars About Long-term Thinking
Edward O. Wilson on "The Social Conquest of Earth"
Friday April 20, 02012 at 7:30pm Palace of Fine Arts Theater
Long Now and Exploratorium Members can reserve 1 complimentary seat, join today! • General Tickets $10
Seminar and Conversation with Edward O. Wilson and Stewart Brand:
Presented by The Long Now Foundation and the Exploratorium
Edward O. Wilson's book will be for sale in the lobby both before and after the Seminar. There will be a reception in the lobby after the Seminar.
Edward O. Wilson has revolutionized science and inspired the public more often than any other living biologist. Now he is blending his pioneer work on ants with a new perspective on human development to propose a radical reframing of how evolution works.
First the social insects ruled, from 60 million years ago. Then a species of social mammals took over, from 10 thousand years ago. Both sets of "eusocial" animals mastered the supremely delicate art of encouraging altruism, so that individuals in the groups would act as if they value the goal of the group over their own goals. They would specialize for the group and die for the group. In recent decades the idea of "kin selection" seemed to explain how such an astonishing phenomenon could evolve. Wilson replaces kin selection with "multi-level selection," which incorporates both individual selection (long well understood) and group selection (long considered taboo). Every human and every human society has to learn how to manage adroitly the perpetual ambiguity and conflict between individual needs and group needs. What I need is never the same as what we need.
E. O. Wilson's current book is The Social Conquest of Earth. His previous works include The Superorganism;The Future of Life; Consilience; Biophilia; Sociobiology; and The Insect Societies.

Rick Ingram sent along the following:
FCW TV Taping Results – 04/29/2010
FCW Arena – Tampa, FL
Dark Match
Conrad Tanner & Big E. Langston defeated Derrick Bateman & Leo Kruger when Langston pinned Kruger
Week One (Airdate 5/9/2010)
Florida Tag Team Title Match – Jimmy & Jules Uso (with Tamina) defeated Skip Sheffield & Darren Young when Jimmy pinned Young
A funny vignette was shown on the video monitors of GM Norman Smiley standing in his office with his pants around his ankles as the FCW trainer is checking a knee injury he suffered. The trainer walks away as Aksana walks in asks if he's ok and offers to massage his knee. She bends down in front of him and starts massaging as Smiley's assistant, Liviana, walks in to see Smiley with his pants around his ankles with Aksana bent down in front of him. Liviana yells at them and storms off.
Next we have a live Abraham Washington show featuring recent FCW newcomer, Mason Ryan. Abe points out that Ryan & singer Tom Jones are both from Wales, and he asks Ryan to sing "What's New Pussycat". This angers Ryan and he pulls the mic from Abe's hand and cuts a heel promo stating that he will go through everyone until he is the FCW champion. He forces the mic into Abe's chest and walks off.
Justin Gabriel pinned Vance Archer
FCW champ Alex Riley cuts a promo teasing that he may be giving Justin Gabriel a rematch, but then announces he will be defending the title against FCW rookie Jacob Novak.
FCW Diva's Title Tournament First Round Match – Serena pinned Aksana
Florida Title Match – Alex Riley pinned Jacob Novak
Week Two (Airdate 5/16/2010)
Caylen Croft (with Trent Baretta) pinned Percy Watson
Johnny Prime pinned Donny Marlow
Jackson Andrews & Curt Hawkins defeated Wes Brisco & Eli Cottonwood when Hawkins pinned Brisco
Matt Martlaro interviews Norman Smiley who states that Joe Hennig & Brett DiBiase met him in his office and they agreed to settle their differences by each giving the other whatever kind of match they want against whatever opponent they want. He stated Hennig chose for DiBiase to be in a handicap match against NXT rookies Michael Tarver & David Otunga. DiBiase chose himself against Hennig in a Lumberjack Match.
FCW Diva's Title Tournament First Round Match – A.J. Lee pinned Tamina
Handicap Match – David Otunga & Michael Tarver defeated Brett DiBiase when Tarver pinned DiBiase
Continued on page two …
Week Three (airdate 5/23/2010)
Johnny Curtis (with Aksana) pinned Tito Colon
Next, GN Norman Smiley calls out Alex Riley to tell him that tonight, he will be in a Six Man Tag Match… Riley, Wade Barrett, & Heath Slater vs. The Rotundo Brothers & Justin Gabriel.
Mason Ryan pinned Rudy Parker
FCW Diva's Title Tournament First Round Match – Savannah pinned Jamie Keyes
Alex Riley, Wade Barrett, & Heath Slater defeated Justin Gabriel & The Rotundo Brothers when Barrett pinned Bo Rotundo
Human Cage (Lumberjack) Match – Joe Hennig pinned Brett DiBiase
Dark Match Main Event:
Florida Gators Challenge – Titus O'Neill pinned Trent Baretta (with Caylen Croft)
Notes About The Show:
Jamie Keyes was the ring announcer for the first two tapings. Matt Martlaro took over for the third.
The TV announcers for the first week of tapings were Byron Saxton & Wade Barrett. Abraham Washington joined Saxton for the second and third.
In the opening dark match, Derrick Bateman & Leo Kruger had the look and cohesiveness to possibly become a fulltime tag team. Also in the opener, Conrad Tanner bled hardway from the mouth.
This was the first time the FCW audience has seen Mason Ryan work as a heel, and a monster heel at that, keeping in mind that Ryan bears a strong resemblance in appearance and size to Dave Batista.
The FCW Diva's Championship belt was revealed the to the audience… It's similar to the WWE Diva's title on a slightly smaller scale mounted on a bright pink leather belt. The first three tournament matches were fought over the course of the taping. No word on the status of the "Queen Of FCW" tierra, but AJ Lee did wear it to the ring for her tourney match with Tamina.
The continues to gradually build to a battle of the giants as two seven-foot-plus'ers, Jackson Andrews & Eli Cottonwood drift closer to a big one on one confrontation.
Aksana is now acting as valet for Johnny Curtis. She entered the ring before Curtis, spraying and wiping down the steps, turnbuckles, & ring ropes. She also sprayed down the ref, Goose Mahoney, as well as his opponent, Tito Colon. Curtis wore white gloves into the ring (and wrestled in them)… He also made the ref wear gloves as well. Aksana announced him as "The Luscious One" Johnny Curtis. During the match, Aksana, from ringside, continued to spray a floral smelling air freshener in the air. I personally found this throwback gimmick to be absolutely hilarious.
Continued on page three …
Orlando Colon had been, in recent weeks, working as Tito Nieves. It appears the middle ground has been met and he is now working as Tito Colon. I would assume this is a result of the planned reunion of Carlito & Primo on Raw.
During the 6 man match on week three, there was friction between Heath Slater and Riley & Barrett. Despite being placed on the "heel" team, Slater was clearly a babyface. In addition, Duke Rotundo bled from his forehead after being rammed into the stairs. At first it appeared he may have bladed, but as the bleeding stopped, the wound looked like it was hardway.
The finish of the Lumberjack Match saw the ref trying to clear a huge brawl on one side of the ring as Drake Brewer attacked DiBiase from the other side leaving him knocked for Hennig to pin.
The Florida Gators Challenge Match references Titus O'Neill, who in reality is former Gators defensive end Thaddeus Bullard.
Roster talent noticeably absent from the show included Alberto Banderas, Naomi Night, & Tyler Reks. Also Kaval & Richie Steamboat are out injured as is Cable Jones, who was assisting with the production crew.
Despite their removal from WWE.com Abraham Washington, Byron Saxton, & Curt Hawkins were all a big part of the evening.
This week, Rosa Mendes & referee Goose Mahoney were both removed from FCWwrestling.com and are both very active with the main roster. New to FCW, Rhys Ali (WXW's Reon Mahima) & Devin Allen were both added to the roster.

Which brings us to the second reason for our disappointment in viewing the documentary. It failed to address in more detail that kids in America are over-diagnosed (this was unfortunately discounted by the emphasis on the Scientology zealots). Think about it. Four times more Kids in America are on some form of behavior-modifying drugs than anywhere else in the world. It is a telling and undeniable fact. Are kids in other parts of the world in need of catching up to our level of drug intake? Are kids elsewhere in the world any different than kids in the States? Having a multi-cultural perspective along with the experience of having lived in France,Spain and Germany, we think not.
The problem with over-diagnosis is that teachers and psychologists place most of the emphasis on the child when there is a problem with his/her behavior. We tend to treat our children who misbehave "as problems" instead of "having problems". Naively, we thought that the psychologist would help us understand and get behind our son's behavior. Was it his teacher? Was it the structure? Was he bored? Was he over-stimulated? Why is it Nicolas was "normal" until he started pre-school? These were the questions we were desperate to have answered. Instead, we received a multiple-choice questionnaire, the subjective basis for which our son would have been categorized for life ADD/ADHD and subsequently put on drugs. We're sorry, but our son deserves more explanation than the outcome of one test.
We've learned a lot in the past year and one-half and during that time, we've learned that the type of teacher Nicolas has makes one hell of a difference. His current one, god bless her, is firm yet kind. She likes and accepts our son, and Nicolas knows this.
Oh, he can sense this much more than any teacher or psychologist or parent or specialist or all others who claim they know children's behaviors, will ever begin to understand.

Saturday, 8.55am: Two projects spearheaded by council leader Marco Cereste could be axed in Peterborough City Council's budget.
Neighbourhood Committees were introduced in 2010, in an attempt to encourage more people to have a say on what happens in their local area.
But three years later they are facing the scrap heap, after low attendances meant they were not effective as first hoped.
The decision to scrap the committees will save £33,000.
Leader of the council Marco Cereste, who was key in the creation of the councils denied they had been a failure.
He said: "A lot of the opposition were against the neighbourhood committees from the start,
"There is now the localism bill, which will mean parish councils will have more power.
"There will be legislation to give them more funds, and we will support communities who wish to set up parish councils, and support parish councils that already exist.
"In one or two areas they were not as successful as we hoped, but most were well attended and extremely useful to deal with local issues."
Cllr Cereste was also a public backer of the Enterprise Centre, which was opened two years ago with the aim of breaking even.
However, the decision to close the centre will save £116,000 this year, and £224,000 over the next three years.
Cllr Cereste said: "It is not the end of the service, but we will keep it running in a different way.
"We want to be able to keep Peterborough on the map with services like these."

Disaster & Conflict
Plan International USA: Information Has Become Central to Containing Ebola
CONAKRY, Guinea - Awareness among local population has become central to containing Ebola as the disease continues to spread in parts of West Africa, says Plan International.
Plan said that people must be urgently made aware of public health measures they can take to protect themselves from the lethal virus.
Due to lack of appropriate information, rumors are rife in the affected areas further complicating the response by government and humanitarian agencies.
"We are racing against the deadly virus. Appropriate and timely information can save lives from Ebola," said Adama Coulibaly, Plan's Regional Director for West & Central Africa.
"There is no vaccine or cure for Ebola. But simple measures such as hand washing can contribute to stopping the infection and its spread. We must act fast by ensuring that correct information reaches communities across affected countries, without any further delay," he added.
The Ebola hemorrhagic fever is among the most virulent diseases known to humankind. So far, 83 deaths have been recorded in Guinea, including fatalities in the capital Conakry. The disease has also spread to neighboring Liberia with one confirmed death due to Ebola.
In affected areas, communities have witnessed horrific scenes of people dying with signs of bloody vomit and severe bleeding. The severity of infection and associated symptoms, have also fuelled rumors as people are coming up with their own explanations behind sudden deaths.
"On Tuesday last week, everyone fled the local market in one of the towns as the news of Ebola spread. Some people are so frightened that they think that Ebola has already saturated the air they inhale," said a local resident in Voinjama, the capital of Lofa County in Liberia which as recorded the highest number of suspected Ebola cases in Liberia so far.
"The affected countries are at the bottom of Human Development Index and already face severe challenges with their fragile health and sanitation systems. If Ebola continues to spread without active prevention it can easily overwhelm their coping capacities which are already stretched to their limits," said Coulibaly.
Plan works with communities in Ebola-affected districts of both Guinea and Liberia and is responding to the epidemic. Plan is supporting the local authorities in logistics and dissemination of public health information. Schools and children are being particularly targeted.
"Prevention is the only way to contain the Ebola spread and we are desperately trying to get the message across. Posters, leaflets, radio, text messages and TV spots - we are resorting to every possible method to reach communities far and wide," said Berenger Berehoudougou, Plan's emergency manager for West Africa.
Plan has already warned that the Ebola virus may become a regional health crisis endangering a vast population across Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone given the geographical location of the outbreak. It is calling for a coordinated multi-country emergency response to tackle the situation.
Note to Editors: Plan experts in Conakry and staff on the ground are available for media interviews.
About Plan International USA
Plan International USA is part of the Plan International Federation, a global organization that works side by side with communities in 50 developing countries to end the cycle of poverty for children and their families. Plan works at the community level to develop customized solutions and ensure long-term sustainability.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Jason Valdez is no stranger to Utah police. His latest brush with the law, however, may have been the most public.
An armed Valdez, 36, held a woman hostage at a motel in a tense 16-hour, overnight standoff with SWAT teams, all while finding time to keep his family and friends updated on Facebook, authorities said.
He even got some help from the outside over the social network: A friend posted that a SWAT officer was hiding in the bushes.
"Thank you homie," Valdez replied. "Good looking out."
When officers swarmed the room, Valdez shot himself in the chest with a handgun, Ogden police said. On Tuesday, he was in critical condition.
Help with Cub Scout camp
is appreciated
I would like to extend my whole-hearted thanks to all who spend so much of their time helping the boys at our Day Camp.
We moved the camp from our usual place at the Sportsmen's Club to the Los Alamos Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints due to the extreme dryness in the canyon.
I would also like to thank the church for allowing us to use their facilities on such short notice.
Hopefully we will be back in Rendija Canyon next year.
We had somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 total boys attend. And to do that, we needed at least 87 adults at one day each. The parents, friends and grandparents came through like the troopers they are.
Asset number 25 is "reading for pleasure," and there's no better time than the summer to make it happen.
This asset would ideally have youth reading for three or more hours per week and sometimes summer time is the only time parents or caregivers can make that happen.
Chamisa Librarian Lisa LaPrairie-Whitacre wanted students to retain their reading skills over the summer, so they come back to school ready to learn. To help out with that effort, she combined a variety of resources into a helpful little handout to assist parents and caregivers in accomplishing that goal.
The public is invited to a Frijoles Canyon Night Walk at 9 p.m. at Bandelier National Monument. The cost is $6 and reservations are required. Call 672-3861, ext. 517 to reserve a spot.
The White Rock Family Friendly Film Series presents, "Yogi Bear," at 7 p.m. in the White Rock Town Hall.
The Mesa Public Library's Authors Speaks Series presents Paul Berkowitz, author of "The Case of the Indian Trader," at 7 p.m. in the upstairs rotunda of the Mesa Public Library.
Local Scouts gathered recently for their annual Day Camp. This year fire concerns moved the event from Rendija Canyon to the LDS Church in Los Alamos.
New Mexico Commissioner of Public Lands Ray Powell announced that fireworks, smoking and open fires are prohibited on State Trust Lands until further notice.
Powell oversees 13 million acres of State Trust Land throughout New Mexico.
"The severe drought, high winds, and dense fuel loads are ingredients for catastrophic fires throughout New Mexico. Our working lands help support our public schools, universities and hospitals to the tune of $500 million dollars a year," Powell said.
Last week, the Martinez administration won its second victory in the New Mexico State Supreme Court.
This case involved a coalition of labor unions who had sued the administration (Secretary of Workforce Development) in an attempt to force state government to pay prevailing wage on public works projects.
The state Supreme Court denied the request of the labor unions that the Martinez administration be forced to accept the prevailing wages the Richardson administration decreed.
The administration was represented by Albuquerque attorney and former New Mexico Supreme Court Justice Paul Kennedy.
The Governor's WIPP Task Force, the New Mexico WIPP Transportation Safety Program Working Group, announced that nearly 500 New Mexico emergency responders successfully completed specialized training this past year that will ensure safe transport of the nation's defense-related radioactive waste.
"This specialized training is critical to the success of the WIPP program," New Mexico Environment Department Secretary David Martin said. "We are grateful to those who took time to complete this course. It shows the commitment that these emergency responders have to protect both New Mexican residents and New Mexico's precious environment.
Next time you're tempted to lecture your kids about wasting too much time on video games, first check out which games they're playing – it turns out they may actually be learning important life lessons.
Much research has been done on whether online games and other interactive educational tools can teach people how to make better decisions regarding personal finances, including an exciting new study called "Improving American's Financial Literacy: Educational Tools at Work," by Lisa A. Donnini, PhD, KayAnn Miller and Kitch Walker.
How is the state Department of Public Safety going to find the time and money to investigate the 64,000 possible cases of voter fraud referred to it by New Mexico Secretary of State Dianna Duran?
With state budgets being slashed by the last several legislative sessions, doesn't it seem logical that the state police Special Investigations Division has more important cases to handle?
For years, Republicans have worried that Democrats win elections by cheating.
The cheating involves disappearing ballots, ballot boxes that suddenly appear when they are needed or long lines of voters at the polls, with a dollar bill or half-pint of whiskey in their pockets.

Starting a student action team commonly known as a green team, can be a very rewarding for teachers. The aim of the group, which is comprised of students and teachers, is to work together towards the sustainability of their school environment.
One of the best parts of creating a green team is that you will get to know students on a personal level and watch them grow into passionate little environmental change agents. It gives students the opportunity to be part of a team and enhance their leadership skills. It also empowers them to contribute to something bigger than themselves – which can be challenging for some teenagers.
Here's how you can start a Green team at your school.
Step 1. Get recruiting
The first thing you need to do is recruit some people to be in your Green Team and rule number one is 'make it cool'. Why would anyone want to join your team if all they have to do is work and sit around in boring meetings? You need to focus on the benefits for them and make it sound fun and exciting.
Aim to have kids from all year levels become part of the Green Team and remember the more peeps you recruit, the more peeps you'll have to help kick some green goals. Don't worry if your Green Team initially starts out small, it will grow quickly, and together you'll be able to make a real difference at your school and to our environment.
You should also approach other teachers to get aboard the green train. You will need lots of support and the more adults in your team the better. This is especially important to ensure you don't take on too much and burn yourself out.
Getting your principal on board can make your life much easier. They are essentially the person who will say yes or no to the projects you and the team want to implement. School principals are incredibly busy people and are often juggling many different priorities. Finding out the key priorities of your principal can help you when you're seeking permission for the big projects such as whole school recycling program, solar panels and community gardens. Think about what angle to take so that you can skew your communication to what will get the project over the line. Will the principal be interested in the financial, social, community, or environmental benefits? The key selling points for your principal might be that the project will increase student outcomes and school engagement. Or that you could save the school thousands of dollars. Find out what language they speak and use that knowledge to your advantage!
What about also trying to involve your grounds-person, cleaner or caretaker? They will know what things your school is already doing for our environment, such as installing energy or water saving devices around your school. They might also have a good understanding of how things work at your school, and how easy your green ideas for your school might be to do.
Step 2. Hold your first Green Team meeting
It's time to organise and hold your first green team meeting! Some things to think about when organising and holding your meeting:
Meeting time and place
You should try to pick a time for your meeting when you think you'll be able to have as many people involved as possible. After school might not be so good – lots of people play sport or have buses to catch and so can't stick around school once it's finished for the day. You could have it during lunchtime, but just remember that maybe some teachers or parents might not be able to make it. Another option would be to talk to your teachers about having some time in assembly or another in-school time to talk about your Green Team.
While you could just invite the people who have said they are interested in being in a Green Team, why don't you try and get as many people as possible to come along to the first Green Team meeting? Create flyers or posters to advertise the Green Team meeting and put them around the school in places where you think they will be easily seen.
Step 3. What will you talk about in your first Green Team meeting?
Who is in charge?
The kids! The group needs to be all about the kids and fostering their student leadership skills. They are responsible for the running of the meetings and ultimately the success of the sustainability projects. The Green Team works best if the teachers take a 'guide beside' approach and give the students the opportunity to flex their leadership muscles. That way, the group takes ownership and they feel truly empowered to make positive changes. Once you have explained to the students that they are ultimately responsible for the running of the team and the success of the projects, you need to reinforce the importance of their role and the commitment required. If you decide to have a weekly Green Team meeting then it is expected that each student attends and follows through on jobs to which they have committed.
Roles and responsibilities
In order for the team to run well, you should create a team structure. You may want to have a president and vice president, or environmental captains and monitors. Select a structure that works best for your team and school. You should think about what roles the members of your Green Team can take. You don't necessarily need to have a leader, but it might be a good idea to have people take on tasks and jobs that help you manage the team. Some examples of speciality positions are: Communications Manager, Treasurer, Designers, IT Specialist, Public Speakers, Minutes Taker and much more!
Remember…draw on the strengths of the students and give them the opportunity to succeed by using these strengths.
Team vision
It is important for the team to work out their shared vision. This is a great opportunity for all the kids to begin to get to know each other and share their most important issues around sustainability.
Activity: Divide your kids up into small groups and give them a large piece of butchers paper. As a group they need to create a picture of their school once it is completely environmentally friendly. Then then need to think up a short sentence or statement that sums up their vision for a sustainable school. Each group then shares their picture with the team and ranks the top three most important features of their picture.
The big issues
In your first Green Team meeting you will probably want to think about the issues that your Green Team will focus on. Use the visioning activity to draw upon some examples of common themes such as solar panels, veggie gardens, water tanks, rubbish campaigns etc. Ask all the members of your team what they think are the big green issues at your school. Rank the top five issues in order of priority that the team want to address. Identify the issues and projects that can be realistically taken on now by dividing them into the following categories: 'Now, One Year, Three Years'.
Some examples of projects might include: recycling system, rubbish in the schoolyard, lunch waste, water use and waste, energy use and waste, transport to and from school, local and organic food in the cafeteria, the plant and animal biodiversity at your school, or you might have a garden or creek that needs some love and care.
You should then begin to brainstorm how you could achieve this vision: What sort of things will you need? Will you need to talk to anyone? What can everyone do to help achieve the Green Team vision?
Step 4. Project Planning
Once your Green Team is up and running, it will be time to start planning your projects.
Use the following table to help give the projects structure. If your project needs approval or funding your principal will take it more seriously if you look organised.
Project title
Type of event/project
Project description
Aims of the project
What funds are needed?
What support and resources are needed?
What organisations or partnerships are required?
How will we evaluate the success of the project?
How will we celebrate?
The most important part of the project is the celebration phase! Your kids have put in time and effort to get something off the ground and no matter how small or large the project is, you should stop and celebrate. It might be recognition at assembly or a Green Team party, but if you don't stop to celebrate your members won't stick around for long!

|Oracle FAQ
|Your Portal to the Oracle Knowledge Grid
Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: LDAP used for database connect string resolution: best practices
Mary, I've setup oracle names resolution using fedora directory server
(a LDAP server which used to be netscape directory server, then became sun directory server, and now is open sourced by redhat, and available as either 'redhat directory server' and 'fedora directory server'. it's known to be rocksolid)
I've build two servers actually, setup with multimaster replication (replicating to each other), with heartbeat passing on the cluster ip address.
The setup requires some tweaking, but I've described it: - http://frits.homelinux.com/wordpress/?p=7 (part 1) - http://frits.homelinux.com/wordpress/?p=8 (part 2)
In essence, what needs to be done is making oracle specific objects in ldap, for storing the connectstrings. Not a very big deal. As long as oracle uses LDAP for communications (using the LDAP rfc, don't know number out of my head), it works. It works now (until oracle client en server 10gr2), and as long as oracle doesn't 'invent' their own ldap extentions (like microsoft tends to do), it will be working.
I use it to have a central point for connectstrings in a 10 persons DBA environment. There is a drawback: the way I've set it up, we cannot add connectstrings using the oracle tools. We copy "template" connectstring, and fill out the connection specific details: host, port, sid.
If you want more details, mail me directly.

A flashlight is an essential piece of equipment for anyone heading off on a camping trip. Whether you are off to the bathroom after dark, reading at night or taking part in other tasks such as cooking or tidying up after dusk, a flashlight is an indispensable item. With so many different types and brands of flashlight available to choose from, it can be difficult to know where to start.
By shopping online on websites such as eBay, hunting for the perfect flashlight for camping has never been easier. eBay has a wide range of flashlights to choose from at affordable prices, from Streamlight keychain flashlights to sturdy anodized aluminum Maglites.
Why Buy a Flashlight for Camping
There are many reasons to buy a flashlight for camping, and for those who are frequent campers, a high quality flashlight is essential. Here are just a few reasons to buy a flashlight for camping:
- Useful for outdoor activities after dark such as hiking or walking
- Reading at night is easy with a flashlight
- Cooking after dusk or tidying up the camp requires a flashlight or lantern
- If travel plans go awry, a flashlight is useful for setting up camp after dark.
There are many other reasons to invest in a flashlight for camping. Some flashlights come with personal security features for those concerned about safety, and this is particularly handy if camping in an isolated, rural location. eBay has a wide range of flashlights to choose from to suit all requirements and budgets.
10 Must Have Features of a Flashlight for Camping
Why it is Useful
LED bulb
LED bulbs can last up to 50,000 hours and are shockproof, so ideal for children.
Adjustable beam
This allows the light output to be adjusted to provide varying degrees of 'lumens' (visible light). The light can be turned down to save battery or turned up as needed.
Shockproof & crushproof body
Great for travelling and virtually indestructible.
The light works well in wet conditions and will not be damaged by water.
Adjustable focus
The light can be adjusted to provide a pinpoint light source or a wider beam.
Durable, scratch resistant casing
Most scratch resistant flashlights are made from anodized aluminum, which is tough, durable and will not corrode.
Wind up rechargeable ability
Ideal if batteries run out unexpectedly and light is needed.
Flat base/2 in 1 flashlight
No need for a separate lantern for the camp as the flashlight can double up as a standing lantern.
Mounting adapter
Great for hands free use as the flashlight can be attached to a bag or bicycle
Some flashlights feature defensive features for personal safety – great for lone campers or those camping in remote locations.
The Benefits of LED Bulbs
Most modern flashlights designed for outdoor use and camping use LED bulbs. This is because LED bulbs are far more economical than standard bulbs, and can last for up to 50,000 hours. Because they are environmentally friendly, they are a far wiser choice than any other type of bulb, and there is no risk of them needing to be replaced when on a camping trip. LED flashlights are shockproof, so ideal for children, and buying an LED flashlight will save money compared to a traditional flashlight, which may need bulbs replacing more frequently. It is easy to find a wide range of LED flashlights and replacement LED bulbs for sale on eBay at affordable prices to suit all budgets.
Why an Adjustable Focus Flashlight is Helpful When Camping
When camping, it helps to purchase a flashlight with an adjustable focus. There are a number of reasons why an adjustable focus is useful – here are a few:
- An adjustable focus allows the type of light to be changed according to the situation
- A pinpoint spotlight can be used for tasks such as reading and cooking, or to highlight something in the distance.
- A wider light source is useful for general light whilst at camp, for example, when erecting a tent, tidying up or going to the toilet.
Many of the leading brands such as Solarforce and Streamlight produce flashlights with adjustable focus, and eBay is the best place to find these high quality brands at reasonable prices compared to shopping in a specialist store.
Travel Light with a 2 in 1 Flashlight and Lantern
When camping, it is inevitable that bags will be fairly heavy, and if hiking it is important to keep weight to a minimum, as much as possible. For those looking to travel light, a 2 in 1 flashlight is the ideal solution, as there is no need to pack a separate lantern for use at the campsite.
A 2 in 1 flashlight usually features a flat base or a stand that can be added to turn the flashlight into a handy lantern for activities at camp such as cooking and eating. Some 2 in 1 flashlights can be used as a head flashlight, which is handy for outdoor activities after dark. By choosing a 2 in 1 flashlight rather than a separate flashlight and lantern, rucksacks will be lighter and there will be less bulky equipment to travel with,
How to Choose the Best Flashlight for Your Needs
When shopping for a flashlight, it is important to find one that has some or all of the above features. eBay has a wide range to choose from, and all the leading brands are available at affordable prices. The following factors should be considered when shopping for a flashlight for camping:
- What sort of bulbs and batteries does the flashlight use and how much do replacement bulbs and new batteries cost?
- What is the available budget and will this allow the buyer to invest in a new flashlight, or should a used item be purchased?
- Is a specific brand desired?
- What features does the flashlight have?
- Is the flashlight a 2 in 1 light or is a separate lantern required?
- If the flashlight is in used condition, does it have any faults or damage?
By considering all of the above factors, it should be easy for anyone heading off on a camping trip to find the best flashlight for their needs, whether they are looking for a new aluminum Pelican flashlight or a used Maglite.
How Buy a Flashlight for Camping on eBay
If shopping for a flashlight for camping, eBay is the perfect place to visit to find a wide range of flashlights at affordable prices. Just click on the drop-down menu 'Shop by Category' at the top left of the home page. This opens up a list of categories - click on Sports & Recreation. This will bring up a list of all the available categories, so scroll down to Sporting Goods and click on 'more'. From here select Camping & Hiking. From the left-hand menu, select Lamps, Torches and then click on Flashlights in the categories menu.
If looking for a specific brand or item, it is simple to narrow a search using certain terms. Just type the words related to the search, such as 'Leatherman Flashlight' into the search bar, and a list of available items will be displayed.
There are certain features it is essential for any camping flashlight to have, and by investing in a high quality flashlight with all the essential features (and a few extra), buyers can be certain they are getting value for their money. Modern flashlights offer the latest technology and are designed for durability, so by purchasing a leading brand of flashlight, it is easy for buyers to ensure that they have a flashlight which will not let them down whilst camping.
eBay has a huge range of flashlights for camping and outdoor use to choose from, so whether you are looking for a used or new flashlight, there is something available to suit all tastes and budgets. It is easy to find a great deal on camping equipment on eBay.

Portwell is a development leader for SHBs utilizing Intel® architecture and offers a variety of solutions for PICMG 1.3 products. There are Single Host Board (SHB) ROBO-8920VG2 based on Intel® E7520 chipset and Single Host Board (SHB) ROBO-8912VG2AR based on Intel® Q965 Express chipset. A series of backplanes to fit PICMG 1.3 SHB generate PCI Express x 16, x8, x4, x1 expansion interface.
The evolution of PCI Express benefits applications such as image processing, chemistry analysis, flight simulation with faster processor. The new PICMG 1.3 architecture allows system to have PCI Express and PCI expansion, therefore, fine and high quality display can be support with PCI Express x16 graphics adapter and storage can be extended to PCI Express x4 RAID card. Plus some PCI I/O cards, the system are about two times or even more powerful than traditional PICMG 1.0 that only support PCI/ISA expansion. Portwell Inc., major supplier of PICMG 1.x platform provides wide product selections since scalability is one advantage of it.
"With the latest PICMG 1.3 SHB, ROBO-8913VG2AR, customers can take advantage of the extreme computing power of a desktop processor and also an eSATA interface for massive data truncation within shorter duration", says Thomas Lee, Senior Product Manager of IPS BU.
eSATA is one of the special functions that Intel® I/O Controller Hub 9-DO (ICH9-DO) supports. Imagine the time consumption when you download or upload data to computer via USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 interface. Simply consider eSATA as an alternative solution to an external interface that is five times faster than USB 2.0 (300MB/s versus 480M bps). Nowadays, people not only have USB flash disc but also mobile rack with 2.5" hard drive in it for large data exchange. Once the hard drive natively supports eSATA then you will not waste your precious time on waiting. Beyond storage device, many devices with USB interface no longer be limited by the interconnection bottleneck.
"The Intel® Q35 Express chipset is an ideal component for PICMG 1.3 SHBs, like the Portwell ROBO-8913VG2AR, as the 3 Gb/s data link eliminates bottlenecks found with current external storage solutions," said Joe Jensen, general manager of Intel's Embedded Market Division.
Portwell devoted herself to implement the latest Intel technologies into industry computing platform with different form factors that allow customers to design their products with rich functions or smallest response time as well as benefit end user's operating experience.
ROBO-8913VG2AR is built with the Intel® Q35, ICH9DO chipset up to Core™ 2 Quad processors. It supports DDR2 memory, and two Intel® Gigabit Ethernet. It's an ideal solution for Image Processing and Industrial Automation applications.

2006 Jeep Liberty - Consumer Review
Average Consumer Rating
Total Reviews
Limited 4dr SUV (3.7L V6 4x4 4-speed Automatic)
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Vehicle2006 Jeep Liberty Limited 4dr SUV 4WD (3.7L 6cyl 4A)
ReviewI have had this vehicle for 3 years, in that time I have spent over 5,000 dollars just in repairs. The rear windows both have fallen off, that is about 350. each time. I have had the air conditioning, heat, transmission, misc electrical and switches fixed. The fabric that they use for the seats is horrid. It stains instantly, even if you drip water on it you cant get the stain out. The seats are uncomfortable and there is not much backseat room.
Best FeaturesI do like the 4 wheel handling, it's great in the snow. It is fun to drive and turns on a dime.
Worst FeaturesBetter built engine system, upholstery needs changing, fix the window problem. There just seems to be a need for quality control or rebuilding of the vehicle.

Don't know if you still have your Jeep, but I bought a new 2006 jeep liberty and still have mine. I had two windows break and had to pay to get repaired. Then a recall came out about the windows, so all were repaired and I got reimbursed. The fabric is absolutely awful, and yes, water stains it. This is from Jeep: "The cloth discoloration is due to an inert residue material (white in color) that has migrated to the surface of the cloth seat fabric. The water mark-like residue ring is the loose residue materia; puddling and then collecting together as the cloth seat material dries." Jeep's diagnosis: "If the customer experiences the above condition perform the Repair procedure: Dish Water Detergent. Clean sponge. Soft clean brush. Wet/dry shop vacuum." I have also had the air conditioning replaced. I have kept my jeep for this long because it's paid for.Report it

Vanquish TGS 10: Combat Design Interview Video - PS2
Vanquish - TGS 10: Combat Design Interview Video
The speedy, relatively unique third-person extravaganza that is Vanquish looks wildly entertaining, and if you want to learn more, here's where the devs talk about combat design. Obviously, they wanted to put a heavy emphasis on the overall speed and intensity, which apparently never lets up. Considering the demo we already have (a second is on the way) and all the gameplay footage we've seen thus far, we expect the action to be relentless. Can you handle the bullet storm?

Chili's Too
401 World Way, Los Angeles, CA, USA
Chili's Too Los Angeles Reviews
621 reviews
Chili's at LAX Oct 26, 2010
Chili's Too is an airport version of the familiar Chili's restaurant chain. For lunch and dinner it offers the standard Chili's menu of burgers and Southwest-inspired entrees. (This location is also open for breakfast, unlike standard Chili's.) Prices are a bit higher than at a regular Chili's.
I came here for lunch while waiting for my flight to Washington, DC. I had plenty of time and it seemed like a good idea to have a sit-down meal rather than buying something for the flight or taking chances on buying an in-flight meal. I was very pleased with the Chili's Bacon Cheeseburger. Seriously, it was the best burger I had in LA on this trip! Service was prompt, with several refills on my iced tea. I would definitely eat here again.
And, indeed, I did eat here again, with Susan, the following June! I ordered a Southern Smokehouse Bacon Burger and Susan the Quesadillas.
Located in LAX Terminal 4 (American Airlines/American Eagle) in the gate area.

text: Went down to see the new grandson but managed a couple of days to fish for a while. The Rio Grande itself was off for some reason, nobody catching nothing. I tried a couple of smaller tribs, the Rio Hondo and the Rio Pueblo. Both are very small streams with lots of small waterfalls and pocket water. The Hondo treated me best and I caught 8 browns all under 12", but quite acceptable for the first time on a stream. The Pueblo was not so kind, less overgrown than the Hondo and almost twice as big, it is a pretty brutal stream to fish with huge boulders and very brushy, thorny banks. Crawl over boulders, crash through thorny brush, fish a hole, repeat. On top of that the fish were just not very active that afternoon and I only caught 2 browns. Still it's a very senic area and I enjoy catching browns. I have to keep reminding myself that I was mostly there for the baby anyway. The first of many trips to that area, gotta try the cimmaron next time down and maybe hike into the box although that 8000 feet in altitude is kinda hard on us lowlanders in our 50's. Thanks to the guys who volunteered info on the area before my trip! some photos in my gallery.

The San Francisco 49ers have terminated the contract of quarterback Trent Dilfer, who started 12 games while playing for the Seahawks from 2001-04.
Dilfer wasn't around that long, but he remains of the best guys to ever slip on a Seahawks helmet. With the way he was handling himself on the NFL Network set during Super Bowl week, he definitely could have a career in broadcasting if that's what he opts to do.
Here's the AP story on Dilfer:
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The San Francisco 49ers terminated quarterback Trent Dilfer's contract Thursday, possibly signaling the end of the 14-year veteran's career.
Dilfer started six games for the 49ers last season, passing for 1,166 yards with seven touchdowns, 12 interceptions and a 55.1 passer rating before incurring a season-ending concussion.
"Trent Dilfer is a true professional in every meaning of the word," 49ers coach Mike Nolan said. "He is one of the most respected players in the league for good reason. Trent has provided great value to our team over the past two years in terms of his leadership, knowledge of the game and play on the field."
Dilfer missed the 49ers' final three games last season with the latest in a series of concussions, and the 49ers were unlikely to bring him back this year after third-stringer Shaun Hill performed well in two starts last December.
San Francisco also recently signed veteran quarterback J.T. O'Sullivan, a favorite of new offensive coordinator Mike Martz, who has said Alex Smith and Hill will compete for the starting job.
Dilfer, the sixth overall pick in 1994 by Tampa Bay, led the Baltimore Ravens to a Super Bowl victory after the 2000 season, but was dropped by the club shortly afterward.
The Fresno State product has played for the Buccaneers (1994-99), Baltimore (2000), Seattle (2001-04), Cleveland (2005) and San Francisco. He started 113 games in his career, making the Pro Bowl in 1997.
He didn't play at all in his first season with the 49ers in 2006, instead serving as a mentor to Smith. After last season, Dilfer said he hoped to continue playing, but he also prepared for life after football with a temporary job as a studio analyst for the NFL Network.
Dilfer would have received a $500,000 roster bonus if he still was with the 49ers on March 15.

This is another wonderful rice pilaf adapted from our favorite Iranian cook book, New Food of Life, by Najmieh Batmanglij. I prepared it for our New Year's Eve party and we shared it with our friends Jasmine Turner and Prof. T.
Steven "suggested" the meal, and I'm glad. I was a bit jet lagged from our recent trip to Virginia and couldn't organize my thoughts around what to cook for our last dinner of 2011: obviously an important decision in any kitchen. This rice is wonderfully fragrant and light. It whispers that spring is coming soon…
Here I didn't use ghee. Instead I used just a single tablespoon of butter, and extra virgin olive oil for the rest. The recipe calls for plain yogurt but I used labneh—I can't help it, I'm, addicted to the stuff. I mixed up the herb ratios compared to Najmieh's recommendations and deployed the cinnamon parsimoniously.
Lastly, this dish requires attention to the process of making it otherwise it won't turn out the way it is supposed to be. I've tried making similar recipes before skipping steps and the result was not as effective, so between prepping and the actual cooking, it took me about 3 hours to prepare.
fragrant herbed basmati polow
3 cups basmati rice
¾ cup whole scallions, roughly chopped
1½ cups dill, roughly chopped
2 cups Italian parsley, roughly chopped
2 cups cilantro, roughly chopped
2 stalks fresh Chinese garlic plants, roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp saffron threads (~ 1 gram), dissolved/soaked in 5 tbsp warm water
2 tbsp labneh
Sprinkles of cinnamon
1 tbsp butter
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Rinse basmati rice 3 times in warm water. Transfer rice to a large bowl then add 8 cups of water and two teaspoons of salt. Stir it and soak for 2 hours.
Towards the last 15 minutes of soaking, fill a large pot with 8 cups of water, 1 tsp of salt and bring it to a boil. Rinse soaking rice and put it in the boiling water. Parboil it for about 5 minutes and drain.
Mix all herbs with minced garlic and some salt. Set aside
Using a separate bowl combine about ¾ cup of parboiled rice, labneh and a third of the saffron threads and juice. Be careful not to break the rice.
Heat a tablespoon of butter and a couple tablespoons of water in the pot used for boiling the rice. Spread rice/labneh mix over the bottom of the pan and cook rice for a couple of minutes at medium high. This will build the delicious brown crust of the dish. Reduce temperature to low.
Add a layer of rice, a tiny sprinkle of cinnamon and then a layer of herbs. Repeat until you run out of ingredients. The last layer should be rice. Sprinkle with some salt, the saffron water and threads, half cup of hot water and half of the olive oil.
Place a paper towel on the top of the pan and then cover with the lid. Continue cooking for about 45 minutes. Do not open the lid until time has lapsed. Remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for another five minutes. Drizzle the rest of the olive oil over, transfer to a serving plate/bowl and voila! Najmieh suggests that you pile the rice in a pyramid shape and serve the crust on the side. That would make it look cuter, but we were starved by then so sort of mixed it all together.

Protect America started the DIY home alarm system movement and they remain a top contender in the DIY niche.
Reston, Virginia (PRWEB) September 19, 2012
The DIY revolution is here and everybody wants to know where they can find the best diy home alarm systems. Fortunately, the experts at AlarmSystemReport.com have tested all of the do it yourself home alarm systems from all of the top home security companies on the market.
AlarmSystemReport.com rated Protect America as one of the top DIY home alarm system company on the market for a variety of reasons. The first and foremost reason was that Protect America offers many DIY systems to choose from. AlarmSystemReport.com has found that while many companies offer a few DIY models to choose from, none of them had as many as Protect America.
Another factor that pushed Protect America to the top of the rankings on AlarmSystemReport.com's alarm system reviews was the fact that they offer GE equipment. GE alarms are fantastic and many of the top home alarm system companies on AlarmSystemReport.com's review page use GE equipment. However, Protect America is the only company offering so many DIY alarms from GE.
This equipment consists of alarm systems with cellular, broadband, and phone line monitored systems. These systems can be controlled by standard control panels or through new and innovative touch-screen control panels.

When talking about Protect America's custom packages, the experts at AlarmSystemReport.com say "customers can truly tailor their system to meet their exact needs on the fly". This is because Protect America has an innovative online control panel that enables Protect America's DIY'ers to create their own packages.

While at the conference, I presented results from our research on the hearing sensitivity of the polar bear (see post, Can You Hear Me Now?). This research, sponsored by Polar Bears International, is a first-ever attempt to thoroughly describe the hearing capability of the species.
Interest in polar bear hearing developed out of concern that female polar bears in maternal dens on the North Slope of Alaska might be disturbed by the noise emitted from extraction industry activities in the same area. Although we still have much to learn on this issue, our research (a collaborative effort with Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute) has shown that polar bears do hear quite well. Once our results are accepted for publication in a scientific journal, I can go into more detail in a future post.
After presenting our work, I was struck by how much positive feedback I received, as well as how different our research was compared to most of the other fine work that was presented. The polar bear hearing study exemplified research that could only be done in the zoological setting. Although the majority of conservation research is best conducted in the habitat where the animals live, sometimes the best information is achieved in a setting where the animals can be viewed up close and personal or where the relationship between keepers and the animals in their charge might enhance sample or data collection. This is the case for the polar bear hearing study, as well as several other polar bear projects, and those with other species.
At the San Diego Zoo's Institute for Conservation Research, we conduct research all around the world, but we also focus on the species that live right here at the San Diego Zoo or at the Wild Animal Park. For examples, please visit www.sandiegozoo.org/conservation.
Megan Owen is a conservation program specialist for the San Diego Zoo's Institute for Conservation Research.

The Harry Potter lady, J.K. Rowling has a new soft core porno book out called "The Casual Vacancy". The critics are calling it, "The Goblet of Filth". Funny eh?
It's the Cup of Plenty for Rowling, she's sold a million copies the day it came out. I calculated she earned Euro 2.42 million – 3.00 million in royalties on that one single day.
It deals with drugs, prostitution, rape and the sexual exploits of its teenage heroine Krystal Weedon. Rowling is writing porn for her Harry Potter fans that are now teenagers. Charming eh?
Degradation and pornography sells in huge numbers.
"Fifty Shades of Grey" by British author E. L. James, is notable for its explicitly erotic scenes featuring bondage, dominance/submission, and sadism/masochism. It is the fastest selling book of all time with 40 million copies sold so far. Authors usually get 8% of a paperback's cover price. So 40 million X $15.95 times 8% = $51 million dollars of royalties. The second and third volumes are titled, "Fifty Shades Darker" and "Fifty Shades Freed".
Then you die, and you see a review of your life flash past your eyes and you see the S&M filth you spread to turn a buck, and the degradation of the feminine spirit you promoted, and God she says to you, "What was this disgusting performance of yours for greed, fame and notoriety? Explain yourself."
And the down escalator to the hell worlds open up beside you and God, she says, "Next time you incarnate be warned that you don't hurt humans by degrading them just to masturbate your wallet and your ego."
End of story. The enormous power of Gaia is soon upon us. Stuart Wilde

Charles Edward Perugini, British, 1839-1918
Study for The Green Lizard,, ca. 1902
Pencil and oil on artist's board, 6 5/16 x 9 7/8 in.
The art critic Marion Spielmann wrote, in 1898, that Perugini was "the painter par excellence of the siestà, the recorder, in delicate color and harmonious line, of the delights of sweet idleness — when life is young and love is warm, ideally gracious, and — more or less platonic…" Written three years before The Green Lizard was made, they perfectly characterize this painting.
Charles Perugini came to England from Naples as a child. He studied with Ary Scheffer in Paris and also developed a long-lasting friendship with the prominent British artist Frederic Leighton, for whom he worked as an artist's model. From 1863, he exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy and, ten years later, married Kate Collins, who was also an artist and the daughter of Charles Dickens.
In the sketch for The Green Lizard — the painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1902 (location unknown) — Leighton's influence is apparent. Like many of Leighton's paintings, time and place in this work remain indeterminate. Only the vaguely medieval costume of the flute-playing boy and the bright light, the classical column, and the lush greenery in the background indicate when, and where, this scene is set.
The subject of this sketch — an innocent flirtation between two well-to-do girls and a boy who might be a servant — is familiar from any number of genre pictures exhibited at the Royal Academy during the Victorian era. Yet telling a story is perhaps less important to Perugini than conveying an atmosphere of hazy leisure, as in work by his contemporary Albert Moore. Such an atmosphere had a ready appeal for a London audience that longed for the sun and warmth of the Mediterranean.

Heidi and Seal have two biological children together—Henry, 3, and Johan, 2—and Seal is the adoptive father to her daughter—Leni, 4.

It's hardly surprising that President Barack Obama chose to schedule a White House visit by Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the dead of night on Monday, because right now Obama has little to show for his 10-month effort to revive a Middle East peace process. The Israeli leader's refusal to abide by Washington's demand for a complete freeze of settlement construction in the West Bank and East Jerusalem — and the Palestinians' refusal to enter talks without one — has left the Obama Administration's plans in tatters, with Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas threatening to resign and pull the plug on the PA and the peace process of which it forms a part.
Netanyahu insists that Israel is ready for unconditional talks; he blames the stalemate on the Palestinians for making the settlement freeze a precondition. But Netanyahu also refuses to accept that such talks be directed toward establishing a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital — and that's the minimum the Palestinians are prepared to accept. Abbas, meanwhile, feels betrayed that the Obama Administration has backed down from its own insistence that Israel halt construction in occupied territory. That, say the Palestinians, is clear evidence that Washington won't pressure Israel to do things it's not willing to do, and that it's therefore pointless to go through the motions of yet another series of negotiations with an Israeli government more hawkish than its predecessors. (See pictures of Obama's overseas trips.)
Obama had prioritized resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But his demands — of a complete settlement freeze by Israel and reciprocal gestures toward normalizing ties with Israel by Arab governments — has been rejected on both sides. And while no recent Administration has had much success in this realm, veterans of the peace process concur that the President's initial approach was flawed. It may have even done more harm than good, they argue, by raising expectations that could not be met, leaving both sides mistrustful of Washington's intentions and creating a situation where either Netanyahu or Abbas would be painted into a corner. (That turned out to be Abbas, after Netanyahu rejected Obama's demands.)

No offence taken, Flo! I like cake
Geoff, there was somebody in our house called KaChriSteveJen - never found out exactly who it was!
And for the Waitrose story:
As one of four children I am expert at dividing things into quarters.
I am growing my own pumpkin for my pumpkin lantern - will I get extra points for that?
Pam, did you see the news article about the Waitrose tweets? Really made me laugh.
Pre-cake cake - an excellent idea but at the moment I only have one cake!!
Ooh I like the idea of a cyber-party - just let me know when to eat the cake...but don't make me wait too long!!
Jo17, I don't think you are very late harvesting - I've harvested some of my first sowing but still have another sowing going strong. Some to eat fresh and some to pickle.
Dean, while you're there can you see if there are spring bulbs on offer and get me a few? Ta muchly!
Good job you hired the charabang Geoff, although we may need 2. Have checked with Grandad, and all are welcome to the party. To be honest I doubt he'd notice a few extra. I counted up and he has 3 children, 11 grandchildren, 16 (so far) great grandchildren and there are 2 great-great grandchildren expected. Thats without the 3 step-grandchildren and their children. Plus partners, plus his younger sister, niece, and her family.
Cubs last night and we took them on a walk - the footpath went through a field with some very large horses in it (ones used for pulling the brewery dray) who decided to follow us as we walked. And we ended our walk in the dark at the graveyard, which they thought was quite exciting.
Hello Lowenna! Welcome to the thread.
My Grandad has - he's 100 on 30th September.
Its only on this thread that people want to know what you had for dinner and if you like chocolate!
Will do my best to answer all questions!
Kate, I'm not entirely sure, it just gives it as my 'recent location'. Wish it was true - have never been to Thailand.
I have acid soil, ask me anything. Just don't expect an expert answer!
Jean, thanks for the pie, and I'm sure FC will share her blueberry muffins cyberetically! Block paving is much nicer than tarmac.
Becks, do you get 5 mins peace this afternoon?
I heard the radio discussion about the onesie as well. Son No. 1 has a fleecy one that is a bear, and one of the cubs on camp had a pyjama one. I have to admit I'd really like one - for wearing inside the house only of course! Although I'm a bit worried I might look like a teletubby in it!
Jean, don't think you were rude and I'd happily share the pie
Kate, poor you - I think you had better pop out to the GC - have a coffee and get away from the noise.
According to facebook my location is Phuket, Thailand. Oh, if only........

Tuesday Morning Quarterback: A week when rookies Cam Newton, Andy Dalton and Christian Ponder got humbled, veterans Matt Schaub and Matt Cassel got knocked out, Tony Romo reached the top 5 and Carson Palmer entered top 10. The Week 10 rankings, according the NFL writer Mike Klis:
(Previous ranking in parentheses)
1. Aaron Rodgers, Packers (1)
It's like playing in the backyard with his buddies, it's so easy. Best nine-game QB start ever: 9-0, nine passer ratings of 111-plus.
2. Drew Brees, Saints (3)
Had some red zone problems, but still an impressive, 322-yard, two touchdown, zero interceptions win at Atlanta.
3. Tom Brady, Patriots (7)
Was throwing low and behind receivers for much of the game against Jets yet he still threw for 329 and three TDs.
4. Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers (5)
Showed the kid Dalton how to get it done in fourth quarter with three first-down pass completions on long, game-winning drive. Then added two more third-down completions to run out the clock.
5. Tony Romo, Cowboys (10)
Had the game of the year in route of Bills: 22 of 26, 270 yards, three TDs, no picks, 148.4 rating.
6. Matt Schaub, Texans (8)
Threw TD passes of 80 and 78 yards in the first half but tore up foot and is done for the season.
7. Alex Smith, 49ers (9)
Came out throwing well against the Giants. Threw for 242 yards and two TDs and improved to NFL's second-best record of 8-1.
8. Eli Manning, Giants (2)
Nearly pulled off a remarkable fourth-quarter comeback. Threw for 311 and 2 TDs against hot 49ers in San Francisco, but also threw two picks.
9. Matt Ryan, Falcons (15)
Two clutch, fourth-quarter drives to score 10 game-tying points and force OT against Saints.
10. Carson Palmer, Raiders (24)
Terrific in hitting the big pass plays against San Diego. His Raiders now owns AFC West pole position.
11. Joe Flacco, Ravens (4)
Wild inconsistency leaves him 26th-ranked passer. Threw 55 passes for only 255 yards in loss at Seattle.
12. Jay Cutler, Bears (14)
With Hester and the Bears defense returning touchdowns for 21 points, 9 of 19 for 129 yards was acceptable.
13. Matt Hasselbeck, Titans (18)
NFL's best 36 year-old QB has 14 TDs against 7 interceptions.
14. Matthew Stafford, Lions (6)
His finger must be broke: Threw four interceptions, including two pick sixes in lopsided loss to Bears.
15. John Skelton, Cardinals (25)
Threw for three TDs, including winner with 1:51 remaining in Philly. No way Kevin Kolb gets his job back anytime soon.
16. Cam Newton, Panthers (12)
Why, oh why will Rivera not help the kid by letting DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart run the ball?
17. Andy Dalton, Bengals (11)
Had four fourth-quarter possessions in tight game. Finished with two punts and two picks.
18. Mark Sanchez, Jets (13)
Pick sixes can happen when trying to keep up with Brady in primetime division showdown.
19. Michael Vick, Eagles (16)
He can be so bad sometimes. Like 128-yard, two-pick game to lose at home to lowly Arizona.
20. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Bills (17)
Pumpkin time for QB Cinderella: Three picks, one returned for six, in embarrassing loss at Dallas.
21. Tim Tebow, Broncos (21)
I'm serious about this: His deft ballhandling creates run-game deception. It's one reason why Broncos can run when everyone knows they're going to run.
22. Matt Moore, Dolphins (22)
Engineered scoring drives of 71 yards late in the third and 81 yards in the fourth to beat Shanny's hapless Redskins.
23. Philip Rivers, Chargers (23)
Yes, pass-rush pressure is every quarterback's kryptonite. But it bothers him more than most.
24. Tarvaris Jackson, Seahawks (27)
Played mistake free in setting up five Steven Hauschka field goals in upset win against Ravens.
25. Sam Bradford, Rams (28)
Threw only his fourth TD pass of the season, first to Brandon Lloyd, in 13-12 win at Cleveland.
26. Josh Freeman, Bucs (19)
Arguably career-worst game against the Texans. Completed just 45.5 percent, took four sacks and threw three picks. Was pulled with 5:33 left.
27. Christian Ponder, Vikings (26)
The poor kid had no chance Monday night as he was thrown to the Dom Capers' blitzing Packers.
28. Blaine Gabbert, Jaguars (31)
Threw for just 118 yards with an interception at Indy — and was by far the best QB in the game.
29. Rex Grossman, Redskins (NR)
Gives the Redskins tad more competency than did John Beck. But still only three FGs against the Dolphins.
30. Matt Cassel, Chiefs (20)
Tough day against Denver D, throwing for just 93 yards, then suffered season-ending right hand injury.
31. Colt McCoy, Browns (29)
Played well enough to be hero in Toilet Bowl-like game against Rams, but botched snap botched a 22-yard field goal.
32. Curtis Painter, Colts (32) There needs to be an investigation.
They make the 2008, 0-16 Lions look competitive.

text: Folks... Today, with some help from Martin Husemann (who tested and helped get the profiling support working with the new compiler), I switched the sparc port to the new toolchain (i.e. USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN=yes). Both the sparc and sparc64 port now use the new toolchain, which is based on GCC 2.95.3 and Binuitls 2.11.2. You shouldn't encounter any problems with the new binaries, and building the system should now be a little easier. The main upshot of this is that cross-builds of NetBSD/sparc (with the exception of full snapshots due to host tool issues) is now quite trivial, so if you have a fast PC and want to use it to build binaries for your slower SS2, you can do that (I'm using my laptop to build the world for my SPARC Classic now :-) If you encounter any trouble with the new toolchain, don't hesitate to ask on tech-toolchain and/or submit bug reports using send-pr(1) (esp. if you manage to come up with a fix for your problem). -- -- Jason R.
