Kate Middleton's "Life-Changing" Advice For 15-Year-Old Girl
A 15-year-old student has gushed about the "life-changing" advice she received from the Duchess of Cambridge during a Royal visit in the UK.
After delivering a speech welcoming Kate and Prince William to the Stewards Academy in Essex, Hannah sat down with the Duchess to talk about her plans for the future.
"The Princess said to me that I should always keep performing and I should never give up on my dreams," the teenager revealed to PEOPLE.
"That is going to stay with me for the rest of my life."
The young Royal couple were visiting the school to continue their efforts in raising awareness for young people's mental health as part of their Heads Together campaign.
"It was amazing meeting [them]," Hannah's schoolmate Klaudia agreed. "They said to keep doing what we're doing and not give up and not listen to what other people say.
"[It will help] a lot of people open their eyes to the fact that if you do feel worried and scared it's not unusual, and it's okay to talk about.
"They said it's important because one day their children are going to school.
"They thought it's important for them, so it should be important to everyone."

Take Advantage of the Stimulus Package
Kyle Stone | Editor
Are you looking for a job, or afraid you might lose the one you have? President Obama thinks he can help you.
Under President Obama's leadership, the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act passed the House of Representatives on January 28th, 2009. This 'stimulus package' is projected to create between three and four million new jobs. Three-quarters of these jobs are expected to arrive within the first 18 months of the act being signed into law.
The stimulus package arrives at a time when America desperately needs job creation: unemployment recently reached a fifteen-year high, and is currently at over 7.2 percent.
Stimulus Package: What's Under the Hood?
First (and foremost): The stimulus package calls for the federal government to invest $69 billion in "shovel-ready" projects – initiatives that aim to create jobs as quickly as possible. Construction, transportation, and renewable energy are safe bets for job fields that will be the first to implement rapid job creation and hiring strategies.
Second: The stimulus package will invest heavily in science and technology research, improvements to U.S. public health and education systems, and will add much needed bulk to government-backed grant and scholarship programs.
Third: Roughly $100 billion will be invested in job training programs, benefits for the unemployed, lowering the cost of food, and providing basic health care services.
Where the Jobs Are
This guide will help you understand how the federal government will be spending the ~$700 billion dollars budgeted under the recently proposed stimulus package.
Stimulus Package: Job Creation Revealed
The stimulus package is projected to create around 3 million jobs – but what will these jobs be?
We've tallied the estimates, and published a breakdown of how many jobs are likely to be created in each major industry. The results may surprise you.
Which Departments Will See a Boost?
Although 90% of the jobs created by the stimulus package will be private-sector jobs, many federal agencies will be receiving budget bailouts and supplementary funding.
If you're a serious federal career hunter, use this opportunity to learn where government funding meets your career aspirations.
Government Jobs: Secret Weapon for the Unemployed?
With 11 million unemployed Americans, and millions fearing they might lose their jobs, many are arguing that Washington will be cutting jobs. However, economists claim that a strong federal work force will be the key to economic recovery.
Since 2001, civilian employment has edged upward from 1.7 million to 2 million. Take a closer look at the job opportunities provided by Uncle Sam.
How to Ride the Federal Hiring Wave
Only one employer will continue to fill hundreds of thousands of high-paying, secure, and dynamic jobs no matter how bad the economy gets. This employer is the federal government, which will annually hire more than 200,000 new employees throughout the U.S. – including tens of thousands of interns and recent graduates.
If you want to start a federal career, here are seven ways to find federal openings.
Are You Ready to Apply for Federal Jobs?
Many first-time federal job seekers do not realize that there is more than one way to build a federal resume. Kathryn Troutman, GovCentral's resume expert, strongly recommends posting your resume at several key websites – not only USAJOBS.gov.
Putting a little extra effort into your resume can make all the difference in the world. Leverage all you've got in order to get hired.

Welcome to Sepia Scenes for the first week of April.
I found this classical sculpture in someone's front yard and when I considered it for a Sepia Scenes post I thought I would add to my sepia tone a little posterization. This is posterized at the level of 10.
Posterization of an image occurs when a region of an image with a continuous gradation of tone is replaced with several regions of fewer tones, resulting in an abrupt change from one tone to another. This creates an effect somewhat similar to that of a simple graphic poster.
Most photo editing software provides for posterization. Why don't you give it a try?
**I apologize for being late with Sepia Scenes. I'm still getting used to posting earlier than I usually do. This post is up now and will stay up through Thursday.
Please sign Mr. Linky and leave a comment and let me know what you think...

For Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia there are significant opportunities in REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in developing countries).
However, it is already clear that the extent to which a country will be able to attract international investment and REDD payments will depend on its ability to put in place a system that rewards forest managers who are changing behavior to reduce deforestation and forest degradation. It is necessary to establish a benefit distribution system (BDS) that is transparent and efficient, and rewards those actually providing the emission reductions and biodiversity conservation services.
This project was supported by the Swedish Environmental Secretariat for Asia (SENSA) to build on work by IUCN under UN-REDD in Vietnam, to share experiences and approaches from Vietnam with Laos and Cambodia, and to initiate similar work in these two countries. The project produced:
- Additional information to fill some of the gaps emerging from the BDS study in Vietnam;
- A rapid BDS study that provides a roadmap for the legal and administrative reforms that Laos wil need to implement to fully benefit from REDD;
- A preliminary study on REDD BDS possibilities and issues in Cambodia; and
- Briefing of government and non-government stakeholders on the results of the studies, and specific reforms that will be required in order for these countries to position themselves to benefit from REDD.

Shipping Policy
Do you have all the parts on your website in stock?
We only have so much storage space. Although we stock more parts than nearly any other Honda dealer in the Midwest we still may have to obtain items from our Honda Warehouses. Generally this can add 1-3 business days to any order before we can have the part on its way to you. Obscure or slow moving parts may require additional time.
How will my parts be shipped? We ship orders via UPS. We cannot ship to PO Boxes, and we cannot ship HAZMAT items, such as batteries or fluids.
When will my parts arrive? Most orders will ship out to you within 36-48 hours Monday – Friday. Due to our inventory being spread across a number of Genuine Honda Parts warehouses there can be delays in getting your items shipped out to you. Express shipping is offered at an additional cost and will usually shave 1-3 days off of the shipping time. Older vehicles and obscure parts may encounter extended delays in shipping. If you urgently need a part please contact us to get a shipping estimate.
Do you ship outside the US? Unfortunately, we do not offer any shipping options outside the United States.
Do you offer combined shipping? Yes most definitely! Honda Parts Network offers one of the most robust and accurate shipping calculators for Honda Parts in the industry. There will be times when we will not be able to combine your order into 1 single shipment due to size or weight restrictions. This cost will be reflected at the time of purchase.
Can I pick up my order in store? Yes, orders can be picked up locally! We are located just west of Chicago, IL. Local pickup will be displayed as a shipping method on orders over $5.00 with billing addresses in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin.

We accept returns on most items within 30 days of purchase. We cannot accept returns on electrical items including ECUs, switches and sensors. We will not accept returns on parts that have been opened or re-sealed. All parts must be returned in their original/ un-tampered with packaging. We reserve the right to refuse any return. Returns that are accepted are subject to a 20% restocking fee. Due to our low pricing structure this is the only way we can continue to operate and still offer the great discounts we do. Shipping will not be refunded and must be paid by the buyer.
Can I cancel an order before it shipped? We can cancel some orders before they ship to you. If you need to cancel or modify a recent order please contact us ASAP and make arrangements. (888) 580-4824
My part arrived damaged now what do I do? If your order arrives damaged please let us know as soon as possible (888) 580-4824. We will work with you and the carrier to get the problem resolved right away.
Payment Policy:
How can I pay for my parts? We take all major credit cards registered within the United States. PayPal is our credit card processor. You do not need a PayPal account to buy parts or to checkout.
Do you charge sales tax? We only charge sales tax if your shipping/ billing address is within the state of Illinois or if you choose in store pickup. No tax will be charged on orders located outside of Illinois.
What is a Core Charge? A Core Charge is sometimes applied to orders for specific parts that we offer additional discounts on if you send back the replaced, serviceable original Honda part. Items such as Axels, Brake Calipers and Brake Master Cylinders may at times apply a core charge to the order. Once the original part is returned this core fee will be refunded to same source as your payment method. Shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer.
Warranty Policy:
Do you sell genuine OEM Honda Parts? Yes, we are an authorized Honda dealer serving the Chicagoland area since 1978. We sell only OEM Honda Parts and Accessories.

Mufflers carry a limited lifetime warranty. All items will be inspected and if a manufacturer defect (in material or workmanship) is found we will repair or replace the item free-of-charge.

Avocado Chicken Stir-Fry Recipe
If you don't already know, I LOVE cooking. I love everything about it, well, besides the cleanup. I feel most creative when I am standing over the stovetop whipping up a new recipe. Admittedly, the only type of food I have never been too fond of, is Chinese food. I believe that the majority of people are either "Chinese food people," or "Mexican food people." I am the latter. In all my 25 years, I have only come across a few folks who truly love both. My fiancé is one of those people. Much to my dismay, he is constantly trying to trick me into making a Chinese food dish for dinner. Tonight, I gave into his requests and made this new recipe that I discovered on the All Recipes website. This one came close to making me a convert and proposing marriage to Chinese food. I can't even begin to describe how good this stir-fry was. I guess you will just have to try it for yourself.
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 cups snow peas
- 2 cups cremini mushrooms, stems discarded, caps thinly sliced
- 4 bunches green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 large ripe but firm avocados - peeled, pitted, and cut into large chunks
- In a bowl, stir together the chicken broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, and garlic until the cornstarch is smooth, and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until simmering, and cook and stir the chicken until cooked through and no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Remove from the wok and set aside. Place the snow peas into the hot wok, and cook and stir until bright green and still crisp, about 3 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and green onions, and toss with the snow peas in the hot oil until the mushrooms are tender and have given up their juice, about 5 minutes. Pour off excess juices, if any.
- Return the chicken to the wok, and stir briefly over medium heat to combine with the cooked vegetables. Stir the reserved sauce ingredients to recombine, if needed, and add to the wok. Gently stir in the avocado, and let the mixture bubble until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Stir gently to coat everything in sauce, and serve
I am not a huge fan of some of the veggies in the recipe, so I left them out and even still, this dish was well rounded and full of flavor. This is one of those recipes that you actually take the time to add to your recipe book. Enjoy!

Words by Sean Moeller, Illustration by Johnnie Cluney, Recording by Mike Gentry
The time before last that we saw 4onthefloor lead singer/guitarist and bass drum operator No. 1, Gabe Douglas, was up near Duluth, Minnesota, closer to his home that it was to ours. It was inside and outside a barn, but the last recollection we had of him was bundled into what looked as if it were a more than adequate cold weather coat, something industrial strength, like the kind that those working in the meat packing plant coolers have to wear, only this coat looked like one you could be proud of. The memory could just be having its way with me at this point, as my soaking wet feet and ill preparation for the conditions may have caused some kind of delirium, but we remember him looking comfortable. He had a beard that one could be proud of and we like to think that he was toting around some homemade concoction that was coating his insides with a smooth layer of hot coals, reinforcing what that great jacket was doing on the outside. Douglas is about as nice and as warm as a man can be. He was that night and he's been that way before and since. It's the way that we know him and yet, he's a barrelhouse of sparks and anguish, of grumbling and steam. He takes on the voice of the everyman, the guy who, even when he's down takes a kick or two in the ribs from some unknown steel toe or a hardened heel. He sings for himself and all of those people out there struggling to get what they deserve - even if that might just be a day away from their troubles or some time to get out onto an open lake to simply float. He gets riled up and he sometimes sounds like Jim Morrison when he does. I often picture their beards holding hands. He gets fired up and out comes a rolling grief, the poetry of a chapped ass and a tanned hide. These are the words of the big men who have been belittled or taken advantage of for too long. It's the kind of music that you stomp to, that you listen to when you're a couple drinks in to let yourself feel a little bit better. It's the kind of tear in your beer music that a man listens to when he's still got his wife or his girl, he's got a job, he's got a place to call home and yet there's still little fulfillment. It's not about being unhappy, just being unsatisfied and unsettled. It's about knowing that a lot's being given up and there could be a lot more out there. Douglas sings, "Comes to me in stormy weather/Comes to me whether I'm bigger or better," and we hear that line as a way of suggesting that the hits just keep on coming - when times are good or they're bad, or when they can be handled or not handled. No matter what, they're coming so it's best to have something tucked away in our front or side pocket, a secret stash of something that's going to keep us warm no matter what it's like outside.

Average global temperature is now higher than it has been for a long time.
Graph by Klaus Bitterman.
Green dots show the 30-year average of the PAGES 2k reconstruction.
The red curve shows the global mean temperature, based on HadCRUT4 data from 1850 onwards.
In blue is the original "hockey stick" from a paper by Mann, Bradley and Hughes (1999) with its uncertainty range (light blue).
The green dots are calculated using data from many places around the world, using information from a range of temperature proxies, such as documents, ice, lakes, pollen, tree rings, corals, seabeds and speleothems.
78 researchers from 24 countries, together with many other colleagues, worked for seven years in the "PAGES 2k" Project on this climate reconstruction.
Their study is based on 511 climate archives from around the world.
PAGES is the Past Global Changes programme launched in 1991.

Huawei targets UK with sub-£100 smartphone
Set Blighty a-Blaze
Huawei is finally ready to launch a presence of its own in the UK, bringing its promised sub-£100 smartphone to Blighty next month.
Unfortunately, the Blaze is rather average, with its 3.2in, 320 x 480 display, 3.2Mp camera and 512MB of storage. This can be expanded by up to 32GB with Micro SD card.
Blaze runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and packs a 600MHz processor and 256MB of Ram. Not amazing, but comparable to phones such as the HTC Wildfire, and Huawei's hot-headed handset certainly clocks in cheaper.
The Blaze is Huawei's first Android smartphone to sell in Blighty without a network operator's name on it.
Those interested can grab a Blaze for £99 from Phones4U or Tesco Mobile this October. ®

Photo 2: North Carolina State Capitol, House of Representatives.
The House of Representatives chamber housed the 120-member House from 1840 to 1961. The semicircular seating plan is based on the design of a Greek amphitheater. The Senate chamber housed the Senate from 1840 to 1961. The room's details are modeled after a famous temple in Athens, Greece.Questions for Photo 2, Photo 3, and Drawing 2
1. What architectural features found on the exterior of the building are also found in the interior?
2. Match up the rooms in the photos with the rooms labeled on the plan. Describe how you think these rooms were used by the legislators.
* The images on this screen have a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly.

Just outside the old centre of Cartagena is an impressive structure: the Castillo San Felipe de Barajas. The fort was built shortly after the foundation of Cartagena to protect the new colonial port city and its supplies of gold and silver from pirate attacks. History has proven that this was a wise decision.
The powerful structure has undergone regular expansions and reinforcements until it became the largest Spanish fort in the Americas – the highest point towers 41 metres above sea level. A network of tunnels was built in the heart of the fort. These tunnels were useful for moving troops quickly through the fortress, while any intruders would easily get lost in the underground maze. For centuries the fort has protected the city from sea and land attacks.
Near the entrance of the fort stands the statue of Admiral Blas de Lezo. Despite an almost comical amount of handicaps (he had only one eye, one leg, one hand and barely any weapons), the admiral managed to fight off a massive attack from the English in 1741. The English arrived with 23,000 troops, divided over 186 ships, bearing a total of 2,000 cannons. The Spaniards only disposed of 3,000 men and 6 ships. Faced with the tenacious Blas de Lezo and his enormous fort, the English navy experienced one of the biggest defeats in its history. All of Cartagena's treasured were saved.
From the top of the fort you are rewarded with a great view of Cartagena's city centre: an impressive maze of church domes, palm trees, bougainvillea and red roof tiles, all neatly bound together by a long string of defensive walls. During the midday heat, the climb to the top can be quite strenuous. A good alternative is to lounge by the rooftop pool of the San Lázaro Art Lifestyle Hotel, the only hotel right by the fort. From here you have a privileged vantage point to admire the fort in all its glory as you sip a cold drink.

McConnell signals movement on tax
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is privately signaling that Senate Republicans are open to a strategy that would effectively allow the Bush-era tax rates for high earners to expire in order to avert the year-end fiscal cliff.
At a dinner with lobbyists Thursday night, McConnell disclosed that Senate Republicans were eyeing a so-called "two-bill strategy" increasingly being pushed by lawmakers in both parties, according to multiple sources in the room.
Story Continued Below
The idea would be to advance two bills, giving each party an opportunity to vote on the approach they favored, but only one would be signed into law: The extension of the Bush-era rates for families who earn less than $250,000 annually.
( Also on POLITICO: Reid 'mystified' by GOP's stance on taxes)
But House Republicans haven't bought into this scenario yet, the latest divide between the House and Senate GOP in the already tense negotiations.
Under one possible scenario, the House would take up a Senate-passed bill to extend the Bush-era rates for all but the top 2 percent of wage earners and increase taxes on capital gains and dividends from 15 percent to 20 percent, sending that to President Barack Obama's desk on the backs of Democratic votes in the House.
Under this idea, the Republican-led House would also pass a competing bill to extend the Bush tax rates for all wage earners, including wealthy Americans, but that bill would be derailed in the Democratic-led Senate.
( Also on POLITICO: Norquist's war plan for the GOP)
McConnell told lobbyists on Thursday night that virtually the entire 47-member Senate Republican Conference is behind this two-bill approach, sources said. He's also pitched the strategy in the past week-and-a-half to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), who has so far resisted the proposal, according to GOP sources. As an increasing number of Republican senators have called for an extension of the middle-class tax cuts, McConnell has publicly been coy about his tactics for ending the standoff with the White House.
The thinking behind the two-bill strategy is that Republicans would be able to argue they opposed a tax increase since they would have voted for a plan to extend current Bush tax rates for all wage earners — and blame the Democrats for raising taxes since they would be the ones to kill the GOP plan in the Senate. Republicans then would be able to escape any backlash from voters if a deadlock forced the Bush-era tax rates to expire for 98 percent of Americans at the beginning of 2013.
As a face-saving measure, the GOP would renew its demands to dramatically cut spending and entitlement programs when it comes time to extend government appropriations and raise the national debt ceiling in the late winter and early spring, a fight Republicans believe they have a much better chance of winning.
But that strategy doesn't exactly work in the House, where an upper income tax increase bill would still need some Republican votes to pass. If he were to embrace this strategy, Boehner would almost certainly prompt a rebellion among conservatives in House GOP ranks for allowing a measure to advance that would allow taxes to rise — something the vast majority of their party fiercely opposes.
As minority leader, McConnell wouldn't have to worry about that prospect on his side since Senate Democrats pushed through a middle-class tax cut bill last summer, a proposal Senate Republicans declined to filibuster in the heat of the election season.
The tactic also has limitations, since several issues could remain unaddressed, such as the estate tax, which is bound to increase dramatically — up from 35 percent on properties worth at least $5.1 million to 55 percent for estates worth more than $1 million — if there's no deal by January.

All the details of undefeated Glendale resident Vanes "Nightmare" Martirosyan's World Boxing Council light middleweight final eliminator bout with Erislandy Lara are ironed out now that the arena (the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas) and date (Nov. 10) have been confirmed.
But first, lightweight Art Hovhannisyan, who trains at the Glendale Fighting Club with Edmond Tarverdyan, will try to build on his recent success with an Oct. 27 bout on HBO "Boxing After Dark" at the Turning Stone Casino in Verona, NY that recently came together following an extended search for an opponent.
After signing a contract to fight on HBO shortly after his 10-round split-decision win over Miguel Acosta on July 20, Hovhannisyan (15-0-2, eight knockouts) waited patiently to lock down an opponent, with several prospective matchups falling by the wayside, according to his manager George Bastrmajyan.
But within the last week, Bastrmajyan said 26-year-old Argenis Mendez (20-2, 10 KOs) out of Brooklyn by way of the Dominican Republic has emerged as the next test for the 30-year-old Armenian native.
"He's really excited," Bastrmajyan said of Hovhannisyan. "He knew he could do a lot better [in his last fight].
"We're just going to take from here and we're treating this just like a world title fight. I have a feeling the winner of this fight is going to get a crack at a world title."
Martirosyan's clash with Lara has been set for weeks now, but was originally scheduled for the undercard of Manny Pacquiao's Nov. 10 fight at the MGM Grand, which was since moved, leaving Martirosyan's fight up in the air. But in the end, the fight simply moved farther up the Las Vegas strip, as was confirmed on Sept. 15, according to Martirosyan.
The eliminator will now lead into the main event of the Showtime-televised Orlando Salido and Miguel Angel Garcia's battle for the World Boxing Organization featherweight title.
"I would have loved it if it was at the MGM because the owner [Kirk Kerkorian] is Armenian and he always told me he would come to my fight if I fought at the MGM," Martirosyan said. "It would have been nice, but we're still at the Wynn, we're still up the street, he can come by."
Martirosyan, who improved to 32-0 (20 KOs) with his last win over Troy Lowry on Feb. 4 before having his last scheduled bout against Ryan Davis called off at the last minute, is primarily training for Lara (17-1-1, 11 KOs) at the Main Event Gym in Glendale.
"I've been preparing for Lara for the last two months," Martirosyan said. "I'm in good shape, I'm just ready to fight. We're going to take it to Lara on fight night."

'Preachers Of L.A.' Pastor Wayne Cheney Explains 'Saved, Sanctified and Sexual'
Pastor Wayne Chaney of Antioch Church of Long Beach is also a star on the Oxygen docu-series "Preachers of L.A." is defending his decision to promote being "saved, sanctified and sexual" on television screens.
Chaney and his wife Myesha, have showcased their union on the show where the pastor has controversially promoted their intimacy.
"We want people to know you can be saved, sanctified, and sexual," he said on the show. "God made us that way."
While his comments received some backlash on social media websites, Chaney recently said they should not be taken out of context.
"If someone was single and wants to be sanctified and sexual with their girlfriend or boo, that's a completely different story. When you're married and you're talking about being saved and sexual, I think God smiles on that," he told cocoafab.com recently. "Whoever has a problem with that probably needs to get a love life!"
While the show has been deemed controversial by a number of Christians and faith leaders, Chaney does not believe the show misrepresents Christianity.
"I don't think there's anything I have done that would contradict our beliefs," he told cocoafab.com.
However Bishop T.D. Jakes, the senior pastor of The Potter's House mega church in Dallas, Texas, does not seem to agree. He previously spoke out about the show to his congregation after the premiere.
"Now, I know you been watching that junk on TV. I want to tell you right now, not one dime of what you're sowing right now will buy my suit. I want you to know my car is paid for," Jakes told his congregation, according to EEW magazine reports. "I want you to know I got my house on my own. I want you to know I'm not bling-blinging. I am not shake and bake. I had money when I came to Dallas and I plan to have some when I leave."
Cheney responded to Jakes' rebuke, saying he didn't completely understand it.
"After watching the video, it seemed more like him responding to potential critics. Guys like me who haven't taken a raise from their church in eight years and compare it to Bishop Jones who drives a Ferrarri and has a 3 or 4 million dollar house, it starts to make sense," Cheney told cocoafab.com. "Again, I guess I don't know why he made the connection because he is good friends with Bishop Jones and he knows he was a millionaire in his early twenties. I stand by the comment made I just don't know if it was directed toward the right guys."
Cheney appears on the docu-series alongside minister and gospel singer Deitrick Haddon, Bishop Noel Jones, the senior pastor of the City of Refuge Church in Gardena, Calif., Bishop Clarence McClendon of Full Harvest International Church, Bishop Ron M. Gibson of Life Church of God In Christ and Pastor Jay Haizlip of The Sanctuary Church. The show appears on Oxygen Network Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET.

The ship captain & crew with some
passengers pose near the ships pilot house.
Frank Robertson and Beth Kay Harris, authors of, Soapy Smith King of the Frontier Con Men, describe the event.
On another trip, aboard the City of Seattle, Soapy's quick wit rescued another steamer captain from an embarrassing situation. The City of Seattle was one of the typical hell ships engaged in plying the Alaska route—over-crowded, poor quarters, stinking food, improper facilities for cleanliness—and all the passengers were on edge. One of them, fooling around the ropes, caused a heavy lamp to fall on his head, killing him instantly. The passengers held a meeting to discuss the possibility of suing the captain.
While they were confabbing, Soapy bent over the victim and pretended to search him, coming up with a wallet which he loudly proclaimed the dead man had stolen from him. Holding his "evidence" aloft, Soapy called the dead man a stowaway, a cheat, and a bum. "Now," he said, "are you willing to throw this ship in turmoil for such a bum?"
City of Seattle docked at Moore's Wharf,

text: Known until 1986 as International Harvester Co., Navistar is a leading U.S. producer of medium- and heavy-duty trucks, based in Lisle in DuPage County. For many years, it was a major maker of farm and construction equipment, tracing its origins to Cyrus McCormick, inventor of the mechanical reaper, in 1831. The company incorporated in 1902, and by the 1930s it had become one of the largest makers of earth-moving equipment. But after a 1979-80 strike, the struggling company began cutting back overseas operations. In 1982, the company sold most of its U.S. construction business, and in 1985 it disposed of most of its farm equipment line, leaving truck manufacturing as its key business. In 2014, Navistar said it plans to cut 500 jobs worldwide after second-quarter losses widened as it shifted to new engine technology. Navistar had previously built engines that failed to meet 2010 emissions standards.

This is the hub page for all information about the use of Git by KDE.
This page is a work in progress where all new Git material is being organised. Most of these sections will eventually be moved to their own pages. Feel free to add stuff.
Links to useful external sites about Git
KDE policies on Git. More generic development policies go elsewhere.
How to set up Git for use in KDE.
Your Git configuration operates at 3 levels:
The System Level sets up global Git configuration defaults for every User on a system. We will ignore these for our purposes as they are usually blank.
The User Level sets up the default configuration for a particular User to apply to all repositories used by that User. Settings made at this level will always override any matching System Level settings. The User Configuration is stored in your ~/.gitconfig file.
The Repository Level sets up the configuration for a particular Repository clone. Settings made at this level will always override any matching User or System Level settings. The Repository Configuration is stored in teh repository .git/config file.
Instead of having to remember and type in the different full git addresses for pulling and pushing, we recommend you add the following to your Git User Configuration (~/.gitconfig):
[url "git://anongit.kde.org/"] insteadOf = kde: [url "email@example.com:"] pushInsteadOf = kde:
Brief recipes for common use cases.
For kdelibs, kdepimlibs and kde-workspace, the remote stable branches are named as follows:
For these modules, to set up a local stable branch to track the remote stable branch:
git branch --track KDE/4.6 origin/KDE/4.6 git checkout KDE/4.6
To then push changes to the remote stable branch:
git push origin KDE/4.6:KDE/4.6
In other projects the remote stable branches are named as follows:
For these modules, to set up a local stable branch to track the remote stable branch:
git branch --track 4.6 origin/4.6 git checkout KDE/4.6
To then push changes to the remote stable branch:
git push origin 4.6:4.6
When cherry picking between stable and unstable branches, use the following form:
git cherry-pick -e -x <original-commit>
The -e will allow you to edit the commit message to add any extra details and to change the BUG/CCBUG/FIXED-IN messages.
The -x will automatically add the original commit number to the end of the commit message to enable better tracing and to simplify merging. Only do this if the original commit was already published in a public repository, i.e. your are forward porting or back porting the patch.
More in-depth instructions in using Git
Existing KDE pages about Git, SVN, and/or building KDE that need to be revised. When revising pages try to split the generic development and revision control policies separate from Git specific stuff. Do not refer to "the KDE Git Repository" but instead the "KDE Code Repository". Lots of small simple pages that are less daunting to newbies and can be linked to from multiple locations are preferred to massive walls of text.
On community.kde.org:
On techbase.kde.org:
There are also numerous other pages referring to "the KDE SVN/subversion repositories" which should be replaced with the generic "KDE code repositories".
There are also numerous translated pages which will need to be updated once the original pages are completed.
The following pages can now be deleted:

When the pope asked the great artist Giotto di Bondone to prove his worth as an artist, he drew a perfect circle freehand.
This problem appears in another thread, go there to see more traditional methods of solution.
Here is the problem.
The diagram shows a triangle ABC
with ABC = 80 and ACB = 80
D lies on AC so that DBC = 60
and E lies on AB so that ECB = 50.
To find (by Euclidean geometry) x = EDB
We of course will use geogebra to do it for us. We start by constructing the diagram according to the instructions above.
1) Draw points B and C at (0,0) and (4,0).
2) Draw a line segment between them.
3) Hide the x and y axes.
4) Click the angle with a given size tool and then click C and B. Enter 80° and click okay.
5) Use the tool again only this time click B and then C and set it for clockwise. Press okay.
6) You will notice points B' and C' were created above the line.
7) Draw a line through B and C' and another line through C and B' using the line through two points tool.
8) Scale down the drawing so you can see the triangle that has been formed.
9) Hide B' and C' and use the intersection tool to find the point of intersection of the two newly created lines. It will be marked point A.
10) Hide the two lines BA and CA and the line segment BC so you are just left with the points A,B and C.
11) Use the polygon tool and click points A,B and C. A nice neat triangle will appear.
12) Use the angle with given size tool and click C and then B and enter 60° with counterclockwise. A point C2' and an angle will be created.
13) Use the angle with given size tool again an click B and then C and enter 50° with clockwise. A point B2' and an angle will be created.
14) Draw a line through B and C2' and another line through C and B2'.
15)Hide the angles and the points B2' and C2'
16 Get the point of intersection of one of the new lines with side AC of the triangle. Point D will be created.
17) Do the same thing with the line and AB. Point E will be created.
18) Hide the two lines. Now you should have just a triangle with points D and E.
I am getting tired but there is only a little more.
19) Draw line segment BD and CE.
We want angle EDB shown in red in the first figure.
20) Use the angle tool to measure angle EDB by clicking E, D and then B. Up pops 30° and that is the answer.
I wonder what shape mathematics which had its roots in the geometry of the ancient greeks would have taken if we all could have drawn perfect circles like Giotto? if we all could have freehand like geogebra? It is possible an axiomatic system for mathematics would be much less used or even nonexistent, replaced by experimental mathematics.
More to come.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Would a Mitt Romney presidency be good for the world? That's what voters will have a chance to assess during Monday's presidential debate, which will focus on foreign policy. Among the topics on tonight's agenda: Afghanistan and Pakistan, Israel and Iran, China and two segments on "the changing Middle East and the new face of terrorism," according to an announcement made by moderator Bob Schieffer. With the race at a dead heat, President Obama will have to do more than tie with his Republican challenger. He'll have to win it in order to see the needle move in his favor.
Of course, when it comes to foreign policy, the Times editorial board had been critical of Romney on a number of occasions, most recently in its endorsement for Obama, writing that Romney, "has sounded bellicose on foreign policy, particularly in regard to the complex challenges posed by Iran, Russia and China, with which he appears determined to start a trade war."
Once again, we'll be streaming tonight's presidential debate right here in this spot at 6 p.m. PDT.
Along with showing the debate, we'll also have live commentary from luminaries of the left and right, sharing their thoughts in 140 characters or less. This week's participants include Charlotte Allen, Meghan Daum, Jonah Goldberg, Jon Healey, Mickey Kaus, Doyle McManus, Harold Meyerson, Patt Morrison and Jim Newton.

Cervical CancerCervical Cancer - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
What is the cervix?
The cervix is the lower, narrow part of the uterus (womb) located between the bladder and the rectum. It forms a canal that opens into the vagina, which leads to the outside of the body.
What are precancerous conditions of the cervix?
Precancerous conditions of the cervix are identified as cells that look abnormal, but are not cancerous at the present time. However, the appearance of these abnormal cells may be the first evidence of cancer that develops years later.
Precancerous changes of the cervix usually do not cause pain and, in general, do not cause any symptoms. They are detected with a pelvic exam or a Pap test.
Squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL) is a term that refers to abnormal changes in the cells on the surface of the cervix.
Squamous - cells are the flat cells found on the surface (of the cervix)
Intraepithelial - means that the abnormal cells are present only in the surface layer of cells
Lesion - refers to an area of abnormal tissue
According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), changes in these cells can be divided into two categories:
Low-grade SIL - refers to early changes in the size, shape, and number of cells that form the surface of the cervix. They may go away on their own, or, with time, may grow larger or become more abnormal, forming a high-grade lesion.
These changes may also be called mild dysplasia or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 1 (CIN 1).
High-grade SIL - means there are a large number of precancerous cells, and, like low-grade SIL, these changes involve only cells on the surface of the cervix. The cells often do not become cancerous for many months, perhaps years, but without treatment, they will become cancer.
High-grade lesions may also be called moderate or severe dysplasia, CIN 2 or 3, or carcinoma in situ.
What is cancer of the cervix?
If abnormal cells on the surface of the cervix spread deeper into the cervix, or to other tissues or organs, the disease is then called cervical cancer, or invasive cervical cancer. Cervical cancer occurs most often in women younger than the age of 55. It is different from cancer that begins in other parts of the uterus and requires different treatment. Most cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas.
The mortality rates for cervical cancer have declined sharply as Pap screenings have become more prevalent. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS) about 12,000 cases of invasive cervical cancer will be diagnosed in the US during 2010. Some researchers estimate that noninvasive cervical cancer (also referred to as "carcinoma in situ") is nearly four times more common than invasive cervical cancer.
What are risk factors for cervical cancer?
The following have been suggested as risk factors for cervical cancer:
Infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV)
HPV is the cause of nearly all cervical cancers. Infection with HPV is most often the result of unprotected sex.
Not getting regular Pap tests
Cervical cancer is more common in women who don't have regular Pap tests. Pap tests help doctors find abnormal cells. These cells can then be removed, which usually prevents cervical cancer.
Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or other conditions that weaken the immune system
HIV is the precursor to AIDS. Taking drugs that suppress the immune system also increases the risk of cervical cancer.
Women who smoke are nearly twice as likely as nonsmokers to have cervical cancer.
Women with diets low in fruits and vegetables and overweight are at increased risk for cervical cancer.
Chlamydia infection
Some studies have seen a higher risk of cervical cancer in women whose blood test results show evidence of past or current chlamydia infection when compared with women who have normal test results. Chlamydia is spread by sexual contact.
Using birth control pills for a long time
Using birth control pills for 5 or more years may slightly increase the risk of cervical cancer, but the risk decreases when women stop using birth control pills.
Having many children
Studies suggest that giving birth to 3 or more children may slightly increase the risk of cervical cancer in women with HPV infections.
Having sexual intercourse before the age of 18
Having many sexual partners, and having partners who have had many partners themselves
First full-term pregnancy at a young age
Women who were younger than 17 years when they had their first full-term pregnancy are almost 2 times more likely to get cervical cancer later in life than women who waited until they were 25 years or older to get pregnant.
Many low income women do not have access to adequate health care services, including Pap tests. So they are not screened or treated for cervical pre-cancers.
Family history of cervical cancer
This cancer may run in some families. A woman's chance of developing it are 2 to 3 times higher if her mother or sister had cervical cancer than if no one in her family had it.
Diethylstilbestrol (DES)
DES is a drug that was used to prevent miscarriage between 1940 and 1971. Women whose mothers took DES while pregnant with them develop this cancer more than would normally be expected. The risk seems to be highest in women whose mothers took the drug during their first 16 weeks of pregnancy. (The FDA stopped the use of DES during pregnancy in 1971.)
Can cervical cancer be prevented?
Early detection of cervical problems is the best way to prevent cervical cancer. Routine, annual pelvic exams and Pap tests can detect precancerous conditions that often can be treated before cancer develops. Invasive cancer that does occur would likely be found at an earlier stage. Pelvic exams and Pap tests are used to determine if there are cervical problems. Women who are or have been sexually active, or are age 18 or older, should have regular checkups, including a pelvic exam and Pap test.
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH):
A pelvic exam and Pap test allow the physician to detect abnormal changes in the cervix. If an infection is present, it is treated and the Pap test is repeated at a later time. If the exam or Pap test suggests something other than an infection, a repeated Pap test and other tests are performed to determine the problem.
Women who have had a hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus, including the cervix) should ask their physician's advice about having pelvic exams and Pap tests.
Because certain strains of HPV have been found to cause most cases of cervical cancer, research efforts have focused on developing a vaccine against HPV. Two HPV vaccines have been approved:
Gardasil?, was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2006. It protects against four types of the HPV virus, including the two viruses that cause 90 percent of genital warts. It protects against cervical cancer and other cancers caused by HPV, too, such as cancers and pre-cancers of the vagina, vulva and anus.
Gardasil can only be used to prevent HPV infection before an abnormal pap test develops.
Gardasil is administered as a series of three injections over a six month period. Recommendations for giving this vaccine are still being discussed but many professionals feel the vaccine should be given to girls before they become sexually active.
What are the symptoms of cervical cancer?
Symptoms of cervical cancer usually do not appear until abnormal cervical cells become cancerous and invade nearby tissue.
The most common symptom is abnormal bleeding, which may:
Start and stop between regular menstrual periods.
Occur after sexual intercourse, douching, or a pelvic exam.
Other symptoms may include:
Heavier menstrual bleeding, which may last longer than usual
Bleeding after menopause
Increased vaginal discharge
Pain during intercourse
The symptoms of cervical cancer may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Consult a physician for diagnosis.
How is cervical cancer diagnosed?
When cervical problems are found during a pelvic examination, or abnormal cells are found through a Pap test, a cervical biopsy may be performed.
There are several types of cervical biopsies that may be used to diagnose cervical cancer, and some of these procedures that can completely remove areas of abnormal tissue may also be used for treatment of precancerous lesions. Some biopsy procedures only require local anesthesia, while others require a general anesthesia. Several types of cervical biopsies include:
Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) - a procedure which uses an electric wire loop to obtain a piece of tissue.
Colposcopy - a procedure which uses an instrument with magnifying lenses, called a colposcope, to examine the cervix for abnormalities. If abnormal tissue is found, a biopsy is usually performed (colposcopic biopsy).
Endocervical curettage (ECC) - a procedure which uses a narrow instrument called a curette to scrape the lining of the endocervical canal. This type of biopsy is usually completed along with the colposcopic biopsy.
Cone biopsy (Also called conization.) - a biopsy in which a larger cone-shaped piece of tissue is removed from the cervix by using the loop electrosurgical excision procedure or the cold knife cone biopsy procedure. The cone biopsy procedure may be used as a treatment for precancerous lesions and early cancers.
HPV DNA test - a test that examines the DNA of cervical cells. The cells are collected as they are for a regular Pap test, but it is not a replacement for a Pap test. The HPV DNA test may be used as a screening test for women over 30 or for women with slightly abnormal Pap test results to determine if further testing or treatment is required.
Cold knife cone biopsy - a procedure in which a laser or a surgical scalpel is used to remove a piece of tissue. This procedure requires the use of general anesthesia.
Treatment for cervical cancer
Specific treatment for cervical cancer will be determined by your physician based on:
Your overall health and medical history
Extent of the disease
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the disease
Your opinion or preference
Treatment may include:
Surgery, including:
Cryosurgery - use of liquid nitrogen, or a probe that is very cold, to freeze and kill cancer cells.
Laser surgery - use of a powerful beam of light, which can be directed to specific parts of the body without making a large incision, to destroy abnormal cells.
Hysterectomy - surgery to remove the uterus, including the cervix. In some cases, a hysterectomy may be required, particularly if abnormal cells are found inside the opening of the cervix.
Radiation therapy
LEEP or conization may also be used to remove abnormal tissue.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- Crude oil prices neared $91 per barrel Wednesday in New York.
Oil prices rose with traders concerned lawmakers in Washington wouldn't reach a deficit-reduction agreement before the end of the year, a development that could set the economic recovery back on its heels.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, West Texas Intermediate crude oil for February delivery added $2.30 to $90.91 per barrel. Home heating oil for February added 0.51 cents to $3.0406 a gallon. Reformulated blendstock gasoline shed 0.15 cents to $2.787 a gallon.
Natural gas prices lost 0.29 cents to $3.396 per million British thermal units.
At the pump, AAA reported the national average price for regular unleaded gasoline hit $3.247 per gallon, unchanged from Tuesday.

Tests to Confirm the Diagnosis
A person with joint aches and pains should talk to a doctor about diagnosis and treatment. Primary-care doctors or dermatologists can treat psoriatic arthritis, but psoriatic arthritis patients should consider seeing a rheumatologist, a doctor who specializes in arthritis.
There is no definitive test for psoriatic arthritis. The diagnosis is made mostly on a clinical basis and by a process of elimination. Medical history, physical examination, blood tests, MRIs and X-rays of the joints that have symptoms may be used to diagnose psoriatic arthritis. It is important to communicate your history of psoriasis to your doctor.
The symptoms of psoriatic arthritis are similar to those of three other arthritic diseases: rheumatoid arthritis, gout and reactive arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis generally involves joints symmetrically distributed on both sides of the body, and it may produce bumps under the skin that are not present in psoriatic arthritis. However, some forms of psoriatic arthritis look very similar. The simultaneous presence of psoriasis on the skin and nail changes supports a diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis.
A certain antibody, called a rheumatoid factor, is normally present in rheumatoid arthritis. The rheumatoid factor is not usually found in the blood of psoriatic arthritis patients. A blood test for that antibody may help distinguish between the two diseases. A person can have rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis, but that is rare. Many of the treatments for psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis overlap.
Likewise, it is possible to have gout along with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. If you have an excruciatingly painful attack in a joint, particularly in the big toe, you may want to have a test for gout. Fluid drawn from the affected joint is examined to resolve the diagnosis of gout or psoriatic arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis patients are commonly misdiagnosed as having gout, because they often have elevated serum uric acid levels, which also can be caused by taking low-dose aspirin or by increased skin cell turnover. It is important to distinguish between the two forms of arthritis, because they may be treated with different medications.
In the very early stages of the disease, X-rays usually do not reveal signs of arthritis and may not help in making a diagnosis. In the later stages, X-rays may show changes that are characteristic of psoriatic arthritis but not found with other types of arthritis, such as the "pencil in cup" phenomenon where the end of the bone gets whittled down to a sharp point. Changes in the peripheral joints and in the spine support the diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis. However, most of the changes occur in the later stages of the disease.

Rumors that Brazil's social security fund called Bolsa Familia was to be cancelled led thousands of people to rush to withdraw money from a Brazilian bank over the weekend.
Customers lined up at ATMs at dozens of bank branches of Caixa Economica Federal, a government-owned bank, which pays the social security subsidy on Saturday and Sunday.
"The bank branches themselves aren't open on Saturdays. What happened is that once the rumor gained momentum, people flocked down to their local branches to try to withdraw money from the ATMs," Rafael Carregal, a journalist at Brazil's main TV network Globo told CNBC.

Brazilian newspaper Estado de Sao Paulo reported that at five branches in the northeastern city of Sao Luiz and four others in the state of Maranhao, depositors broke into branches. Most of the branches that were affected were in the poorer northeast region of the country.
In all, branches in 12 states were affected as the government tried to quell the rumors.

"Police had to intervene in many states, trying to keep the masses in order. The minister of national development had to make a speech (on Sunday) reassuring the people that nothing was to be changed in their benefits program," Carregal said.
Bolsa Familia is a social security program that pays money to 13.8 million poor families in Brazil. It was the flagship program of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's center-left government aimed at alleviating poverty and encouraging school enrollment. While Lula left office in December 2010, the current President Dilma Roussef is seen as Lula's protégé and has largely continued his policies.

"There is absolutely no possibility of payments being suspended or indeed any alteration to the normal timetable. Bolsa Familia is being paid. It's being paid on time. And it's being paid according to the schedule," Tereza Campello, Brazil's minister for social development said over the weekend.
Brazil's Justice Ministry said it was investigating the rumors.
But Globo's Carregal said he wouldn't be surprised if more depositors tried to withdraw money on Monday, when banks finally open.

HERNDON, Va., Sept. 17 (UPI) -- As a U.S. Marine going through basic training many decades ago, light humor occasionally came to the fore. Trainees approaching a safety pit to throw hand grenades for the first time confronted a straight-laced instructor barking instructions, concluding with the warning, "Remember, when the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not our friend."
The same is true about Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trying to stabilize a hand grenade by reinserting its pin after it has been pulled and thrown down range is much like trying to "reset" relations with the former KGB agent who considers the Soviet Union's collapse the greatest tragedy of the 20th century.
It is clear having spent more than a decade in power, "Mr. Putin is not our friend." He fosters a festering resentment over Moscow losing the Cold War. To restore Russia's greatness, he seeks to dominate the United States in the foreign policy arena.
The Syria situation is but the most recent in a long chain of chances -- provided to Putin by the Obama administration -- to trump U.S. interests.
Writing an open letter to the American people in The New York Times, the would-be dictator underscored the futility of a unilateral U.S. punitive strike against Syria for President Bashar Assad's use of chemical weapons against his own people.
In pouncing on a slip of the tongue by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry suggesting a strike could be averted if Syria surrendered its chemical weapons, Putin pressed for that solution.
Putin noted in his letter his relationship with U.S. President Barack Obama "is marked by growing trust." It would have been more accurate for him to say the relationship is one marked by Obama's growing submission.
It should be remembered in 2012, Obama was caught making an unguarded comment to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, saying he needed to await his own re-election before being "more flexible" with incoming President Putin on the contentious European defense issue.
It is incomprehensible as to what Obama hoped to gain in ultimate discussions with the Russians by such a statement (one he was unwilling to make publicly to the American people). But what it did do was convey to Putin an image of a weak U.S. president. It is an image reinforced, experts in body language suggest, by the motions of Putin and Obama whenever they are together -- the former confident and controlling; the latter unsure of himself.
It is against this background any agreement on Syria's chemical weapons must be weighed.
The good news is a U.S.-Russia deal on Syria's chemical arsenal was reached Saturday -- to be backed up by a U.N. resolution for sanctions or other actions, including military force, should Damascus fail to comply. Also, Assad acknowledged for the first time he possesses such weapons.
It appears the U.S. successfully limited to one week Assad's request for 60 days to provide a full accounting of the weapons. However, the verification inspection has stretched out to November with stockpile destruction to occur no later than mid-2014.
Additional terms and conditions, such as the makeup of the international inspection teams, remain to be negotiated.
Although there is U.S.-Russia agreement on the above, Syria has yet to accept the proposal. But there is more bad news.
The proposal is silent on the issue of accountability, which demands full disclosure by Syria on these weapons usage and who in the chain-of-command authorized it.
The United States' failure to address such accountability provides Assad with a free pass for war crimes for chemical usage. The proposal also should demand Syrian cooperation fully with a Syrian war crimes tribunal.
Meanwhile, recognizing how effective his puppet masters in Iran have been in stretching out nuclear negotiations without ever having to cut a deal, Assad will seek similar delays, hoping his evil deeds fade as a reason for war.
Additionally, disclosure shouldn't be limited to chemical weapons but include all weapons of mass destruction.
In 2007 the Israelis destroyed a nuclear reactor in Deir al-Zour, Syria, being built with North Korean assistance. Assad never pressed a claim to hold the Israelis accountable. He knew doing so would trigger an inquiry requiring access to the site, revealing its true purpose.
A full accounting is necessary to assess disposition of uranium and other dangerous materials available for use by terrorists.
Finally, disclosure needs to include any WMDs or technology transferred to Syria by Iraq's Saddam Hussein. Knowledgeable Syrian defectors have long claimed Saddam did so -- possibly including nuclear technology -- in the days prior to the 2003 U.S. invasion.
It is clear Putin isn't a student of history. For nearly nine decades since the international ban against chemical weapons usage, there have only been a limited number of violations. All involved usage by one Muslim nation against another or against its own people.
Acting as a big brother refusing to hold a younger brother accountable, Putin continues to block U.N. actions to hold countries like Syria and Iran responsible for violating such international bans.
Ironically, under the law of unintended consequences, Putin's actions in protecting one Muslim ally, Syria, may have only endangered another, Iran.
In earlier meetings with the Israelis, Obama promised, in exchange for Israel's forbearance in attacking Iran, allowing the United States more time to negotiate with it, he "is not bluffing" when he vows he won't allow Tehran to get nuclear weapons.
U.S. actions in Syria have given Israel notice. It may emerge the biggest winner in the Syrian crisis as Israel now knows Obama IS bluffing and responsibility for halting Iran's nuclear weapons program falls to Israeli military forces alone.

- Interested suppliers, must respond to a specific BOW posting with a description of their company's capabilities, as they relate specifically to the Statement of Work and Requirements to potentially receive a Request for Quotation (RFQ).
- Suppliers may subscribe to receive automated e-mail notifications of upcoming business opportunities by logging into their iSupplier account and selecting the NAICS codes of interest to them.
- Depending on the type of opportunity, BOW POSTINGS will be posted for a minimum of 3 business days.
Responding to an Opportunity
If a Supplier needs assistance in submitting a response to a business opportunity via the BOW, see the below link. This document will walk Supplier through the process of submitting a response to an RFQ, RFI and Sources Sought posting type. If a Supplier has a question regarding the specifics of a business opportunity, this link will also walk them through the process of submitting a question that will be routed directly to NTESS via the BOW.
What is a Request for Quote (RFQ)?
- An RFQ is a notification to prospective Offerors by NTESS requesting submission of offers.
- An opportunity posted as an RFQ, will serve as the RFQ. Unless an award cannot be made, this will be the only posting for this opportunity.
- An RFQ posting means a purchase order is anticipated to be awarded from capable responses.
- RFQs <$250K are typically posted for 3 business days and are designated "Small Business First". (An RFQ <$250K is intended to be an award to a Small Business if the SB can meet the SOW, all mandatory requirements, all Terms and Conditions and is made at a fair and reasonable price. If an award cannot be made to a capable SB first, then other offers may be considered.)
What is a Sources Sought?
- Sources Sought is a synopsis posted by NTESS seeking capable offerors for a business opportunity. Offerors who meet all the requirements will receive an RFQ.
- Sources Sought postings are typically >$250K and can be posted up to 15 calendar days or more. At a minimum, the first 8 days of the posting will be as a Small Business set-aside.
What is a Request for Information (RFI)?
- NTESS will issue a RFI prior to releasing a Sources Sought or RFQ. This type of posting will give NTESS a better understanding of vendor interest and if a vendor can provide the product and/or service. Responses submitted to the RFI will help NTESS craft the potential RFQ in a way that will generate the best responses.
- RFI postings do not have a limit on the number of days posted.
Small Business Commitment
Sandia is committed to providing maximum, practicable opportunities for small businesses. All postings to our BOW solicit small and diverse small businesses to respond to the business opportunities listed. Responses received will enable Sandia to evaluate the interest, availability, and technical capability of responsible small businesses to determine the feasibility of making any opportunity listed a small business set-aside.
National Technology and Engineering Solutions of Sandia (NTESS) is committed to executing a 5-percent pricing preference per Prime Contract No. DE-NA0003525, Section J - Appendix E, Small Business Subcontracting Plan.
Requirements for Socioeconomic and Business Classification
Sandia is required to obtain socioeconomic and business classifications. Suppliers responding to a given opportunity, will be asked questions about their business size statuses. To be considered small, a supplier must provide a self-certification on its business size for the NAICS associated with that opportunity and meet the required Business Size Standard as established by the Small Business Administration prior to award. It is strongly encouraged that suppliers be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) or, if unable to register in SAM after receiving assistance from Sandia's Supplier Diversity Department, completing a new Supplier Data Sheet (SDS) for each new subcontract award. Sandia may accept a supplier's representation of its size and socioeconomic status as a small business, small disadvantaged business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned business, or a women-owned small business in SAM if the supplier is registered in SAM or provides a new SDS for each new subcontract award and the supplier represents that the size and socioeconomic status representations made in SAM or on the SDS are current, accurate and complete as of the date of the offer for the subcontract.
Note: If a certificate error is visible when navigating to the SAM link, please ignore the certificate error and continue to the website.
Qualifications Requirements
The Business Opportunities Website promotes current subcontracting opportunities at Sandia for responsible suppliers to supply their products and services in support of Sandia's mission objectives. Subcontracting opportunities are listed in accordance with the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
Please note the following:
- Major revisions or cancellations may occur with subcontracting opportunities.
- Sandia reserves the right to change the competition type from Competitive to Set-Aside prior to the release of the Request for Quotation (RFQ).
- Sandia may post opportunities as "Small Business First" on RFQs under $250,000 directly from the BOW, allowing for expedited purchases and increased small business participation. Sandia's intention is to set the award aside when offers that meet the Statement of Work, all mandatory requirements, and all Sandia terms and conditions, and offers are made at fair market prices. If the preceding criteria are not met, then other offers may be considered.
- If capability information is requested on an opportunity, be advised that Sandia will not issue a supplier an RFQ unless clear and convincing information is submitted, indicating that the supplier's organization has the necessary relevant experience (including applicable experience and past performance i.e. GSA or other government contracts), can fulfill the requirements of the statement of work, and can meet each mandatory requirement. If a supplier does not adequately address each mandatory requirement, and Sandia does not have information indicating otherwise, the presumption will be that the supplier is not a viable competitor. In any case, the Sandia Buyer is the final arbiter on who receives an RFQ.
- Advertising or marketing information submission is prohibited on this site.
Top NAICS Codes
Sandia's subcontracting opportunities are assigned the NAICS code and corresponding size standard that best describes the principal purpose of the subcontract.
Below are the top Fiscal Year 2016 subcontracting awards by NAICS codes:

text: Saving All Your Love for Mr. Right 7 qualities of the perfect man The recent news of Whitney Houston's sudden death was both heartbreaking and tragic. Only 48 years old, on the verge of making a career comeback - Whitney seemed to finally be facing down her demons and embarking on what seemed a drug free life. And after 14 years of an abusive marriage, Whitney finally broke free in 2006, yet she admitted to still hoping that he would change and come back to her even after she left him. The wake up call to Whitney finally came when photos of Bobby Brown with other women appeared in the press and her daughter broke through to her by saying: "Enough, Mom! He always disappoints you and you deserve better". There are many of us who have been in Whitney's situation – hanging on in an abusive situation and giving the person we love the benefit of the doubt, time after time after time. And most of us reach a tipping point, but some of us do not and continue to languish in unfulfilling relationships with men who can't and won't love. If you happen to be in this situation and need incentive to leave or if you have just left a situation and are ready to date again, here is what you should be looking for and settle for nothing less than Mr. Right: Mindful: Mr. Right, or someone with Good Husband Qualities, is mindful of your needs. If you've had a bad day, he wants to hear about it. If you want to take that class you've always dreamed of or make a career change, he makes you feel good about it and shows encouragement and does not feel threatened. Respect: Someone with Good Husband Qualities always shows respect by listening and caring about your feelings. He doesn't show a cartoon, eye popping, and tongue rolling face when an attractive woman walks by. And he would never show disrespect in his behavior towards you by neglecting you, lying or cheating. Resolves: The right mate works to resolve issues and conflicts through mature discussion and reasoning. He may get upset, we all do, but his anger doesn't escalate into threats, verbal abuse or violence. If he blames you for his anger and says your behavior gives him cause to behave badly, you are in an abusive relationship and should get away as fast as you can. Integrity: Mr. Right is always acts with integrity and doesn't disappoint you or your children. In fact, Bobby Brown's daughter said there were many times when he did not do what he said he would do and that is devastating to a child. Grateful: The right person deeply appreciates you and shows that appreciation through loving words, kindness and affection. He knows he can do no better and lets you know it. He doesn't have to shower you with gifts – just lets you know that you can trust in his love for you. Happy: Mr. Right should make you feel happy. You should feel confident in who you are, and how you express yourself. He wants to be with you and lets you know it. If you are constantly seeking advice from family and friends because he makes you wonder or second guess or doubt yourself or his love for you, then he's Mr. Wrong. Tolerant: Mr. Right doesn't blow up when something goes wrong and use it as an excuse to blame you or put you down. He reacts to a crisis situation in a mature and respectful way. He does not bale or walk away when the going gets tough. He tolerates your faults and loves you in spite of them because that's what love is. So, if you find yourself with Mr. Wrong, it's time to walk away. He's not going to change and he's selfishly wasting your precious time. Don't be like Whitney – instead learn from her mistake and start inserting Mr. Right into the "Saving all My Love for You" song. There are plenty of men with Good Husband Qualities and you should settle for nothing less. You deserve love and happiness - remember that. *Original article posted at TCW* Attachment Posted on Sat, June 30, 2012 by Bela Gandhi
