Forged Papers For Uganda President In UK Case?
It appears that if someone had been trying to commit a fraudulent act, he or she forget to remove the original delivery receipt from the documents submitted in Museveni's defense; the original and the possible forgery were both submitted to the U.K. court.
Africa News Update
In a bombshell revelation, U.K. Forensic experts are examining whether lawyers for Uganda's President Yoweri K. Museveni submitted forged papers to a London court which vacated a $31 million judgment against the president last week, The Black Star News has learned.
The case was subsequently ordered to trial and a date has yet to be determined. Now the whole matter has been thrown in the air with the disclosure that Museveni's lawyers may have filed forged documents in seeking the judgment be set-aside.
The case stems from a December, 2006 default judgment awarded to Uganda born British journalist Dr. Jesse Mashate who had filed a lawsuit against Museveni in the U.K. Commercial High Court earlier. Mashate alleged wrongful expropriation of his then Uganda-based publishing business The Weekend Digest in 1986 shortly after Museveni seized power.
The paper is said to have published critical articles on Museveni's then National Resistance Army which led his insurgency.
U.K. Commercial High Court issued a summons to President Museveni on November 17, 2006; by December 4, there was no response, and the Court awarded on December 11, 2006, Dr. Mashate the judgment.
Last week, lawyers representing Museveni successfully petitioned the court to throw out the default judgment and allow the Ugandan president to defend the case at trial. The Black Star News has learned that now the authenticity of some documents, including one bearing the signature of Joan Rwabyomere, Uganda's High Commissioner to the U.K.—her post is equivalent to that of an ambassador— are being questioned.
One of the arguments lawyers for president Museveni has used in seeking judgment be vacated was that he had not been served with court papers in a timely manner.
To support this contention, the president's defense team submitted a "legal documents delivery receipt," listed as item "10" signed by Rwabyomere, and dated "21st Feb 2007," which is two months after the default judgment, implying that service arrived way too late.
But the handwritten "Feb" seems to have been superimposed on top of "Dec" and the "7" seems to have been superimposed on top of "6" to change the year to 2007 from 2006.
There is an even bigger problem for Museveni's team; item "9" is what appears to be a copy of the exact "legal documents delivery receipt," also signed by Rwabyomere, and dated "21st Dec 2006."
It appears that if someone had been trying to commit a fraudulent act, he or she forgot to remove the original delivery receipt from the documents submitted in Museveni's defense; the original and the possible forgery were both submitted to the U.K. court.
The Black Star News attempted to speak with High Commissioner Rwabyomere, but the reporter was kept on hold for half an hour and didn't get a response.
Contacted by the reporter, one of Museveni's U.K.-based lawyers, Patrick Asiimwe, said: "Can you call me later. I can't comment now because I don't want to be misquoted."
Said Alex Oringa, a lawyer for the plaintiff, Mashate, "I don't want to pre-empt or to talk much about the case which is before the court. Get back to the person who availed you those documents and ask him." Mashate himself declined to comment.

text: In just two seasons, Robert Quinn, established himself as one of the most prolific scoring ice hockey forwards in Boston State College history. After transferring from Boston University, Quinn led the NCAA in scoring with 67 points for the Warriors in 1964-65 for an eye-popping average of 3.9 points per contest. Just to show that it wasn't a fluke, he led the nation in scoring again as a senior with 71 points for an average of 3.6 per outing to fuel Boston State to a perfect 20-0 record and a number one national ranking among small colleges. He also played in the first ever Codfish Bowl, leading the Warriors to capture the inaugural championship. Quinn still ranks as the school's all-time leader in scoring average with 3.7 points per game to give him 138 points in 37 career tilts and graduated as the career leader in total points, before being eclipsed in 1975. He now stands fourth in Boston State history in career points and assists (73) and is fifth in goals (65). Prior to his transfer to Boston State, he was a member of the 1962 United States National Hockey team that competed at the World Championships in Stockholm, Sweden. Following his graduation from college in 1969, he turned his attention to softball, enjoying a tremendous pitching career that included 18 National Championship appearances within the American Softball Association. He starred for the Clearwater Bombers and was tabbed an All-American four times and ultimately recognized with an induction into the National Softball Hall of Fame.

One of the most important decisions that website owners need to make is the choice of web hosting for their site. There are many types of web hosting, and each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. Any website owner should know about types of server hosting and choose the one that benefits the business the most. The most popular type of web hosting is dedicated server hosting. In this kind of hosting, a single server is leased to the web owner or organization. The client has complete control of the server. Client's website uses all the software and hardware resource of the server.
Benefits of Reliable Dedicated Server Hosting:
- It is more reliable, and the websites have more uptime as it does not share bandwidth with the other sites. The site owners can be sure that the site's visitors would never have any problem with the bandwidth.
- Small-scale business usually needs less resource on a server. However, the site owners allow them to grow their site with the passage of time. They have more scalability as all resources belong to the particular site. They increase the size of the site whenever they require.
- When a server is shared among various sites, no site has access to all the features. Changing features on affect server websites on the server. However, this is what happens with dedicated hosting. The client has entire server to them and has more control and flexibility.
- The dedicated hosting offers more security to the customers. A dedicated server is not shared with any site. It's hard for any person to gain access to files, passwords or any other information. It is combined with security and regular updates as this makes it the most secure hosting options.
All sites are different and needs of each site is different from the other. The site owners should consider hardware and software specifications while choosing their dedicated hosting service.

INDEPENDENCE -It took Grayson County a long time to get started but once the Blue Devils found their stride they rolled over the Rural Retreat Indians, 55-20, in a nondistrict game played at Bill Strong Field Friday.
Rural Retreat came into the game the underdog but they didn't play like underdogs in the first period.
The Indians put together a good first drive but Xavier Rodriguez ended the threat when he picked off a Zayne Williams pass at the Blue Devil 26.
Both teams traded punts before the Blue Devils got good field position on a punt return. Grayson drove to the Rural Retreat 37 and was moved back five yards because of a false start. From there, Rodriguez broke free of the Indian defenders and scored the game's first touchdown on a 42-yard run. Mario Ruiz kicked the extra point and the Blue Devils had the early lead at 7-0 with 5:13 to play in the first period.
The Indians tied the game with 8:46 to play in the second quarter when Williams scored on a 1-yard plunge. The kick was good for a 7-7 tie.
The Blue Devils came back with a good drive of their own that ended at the Indian 20-yard line when Rodriguez was stopped on a fourth down play.
The Indians drove the length of the field to take their only lead with Tyler Miller scoring on a 22-yard pass from Williams. The extra point kick was good and the Blue Devils were down 14-7 with 2:42 to play in the second period.
The Blue Devils answered with their own scoring drive and with 45 seconds left in the half, Spencer Roberts caught a 16-yard pass from quarterback Ethan Hash for the touchdown. The kick was wide and the Blue Devils trailed 14-13.
The outstanding play of the Blue Devil defensive unit gave the offense another chance to score with 28 seconds left in the half when Logan Watson recovered an Indian fumble at the Rural Retreat 40.
Hash got a good run on first down to the 33 and an offside penalty on the Indians gave the Blue Devils a first down at the 28.
With no time on the clock and on the final play of the half, Mikey Rodgers caught a 28-yard scoring pass from Hash. The run for the extra point was no good and the Blue Devils took a 19-14 lead into the locker room.
The Blue Devils returned the second half kickoff to their own 26. A long pass from Hash to Eric Harvey gave the Blue Devils a first down at the Rural Retreat 38. Two plays later, Hash tagged Rodriguez with a 25-yard scoring pass to give the Blue Devils some breathing room. Rodriguez also ran the extra point for a 27-14 lead.
Rural Retreat fumbled the kickoff and Jacob Parnell recovered for the Blue Devils at the Indian 28. Logan Watson picked up 12 yards to the 16 and four plays later, Hash scored from a yard out and added the extra point run to give the Blue Devils a 35-14 margin.
The Indians got on the scoreboard one final time with 3:03 to play in the third when Travis Foster caught a 75-yard touchdown pass from a scrambling Anderson. The extra point kick was blocked by Johnny Warren and the Indians cut the lead to 35-20.
With 1:03 to play in the third, Parnell recovered his second fumble of the game at the Indian 44 but the Blue Devils failed to move the ball and were forced to punt.
The Indians put together a good drive and drove to the Blue Devil 25. On a fourth down play, Daniel Crawford intercepted for the Blue Devils and raced 75 yards for the touchdown. Ruiz kicked the extra point and the Blue Devils led 42-20.
Rural Retreat fumbled again and James Goins recovered for the Blue Devils at the Indian 38. A five-yard penalty moved the ball back to the 43. On first down, Nathan Cowley raced 43 yards for the touchdown with 5:40 to play in the game. The kick was wide and the Blue Devils led 48-20.
The Indians didn't give up and drove to the Grayson County 10 where the Blue Devils stopped them on downs.
Max Rodgers didn't let his brother outdo him in the game. On first down, with 1:36 to play, he broke loose on a 90-yard run for a touchdown and Ruiz kicked the extra point for the final margin.
Blue Devil coach Brett McPherson said he expected a tough game from the Indians and he wasn't disappointed.
"They played hard and didn't give up," he said. "But we played hard also and took advantage of every mistake they made to put points on the board."
He said his team was working on getting better every game.
The Blue Devils are 3-0 and will travel to Glenvar this Friday night.

Twilight ~ And Some Weekend News
** This pattern is now available in my pattern shop! **
I have been waiting to share this quilt with you for months...8 months to be exact! When editing my photos for this post last night, I noted the datestamp on my quilt photo was August 6, 2012. I can't believe it's been that long! I remember bringing my fabric and sewing machine on summer vacation last year, working to finish this quilt up.
Last Spring, Fons & Porter asked if I was interested in designing a quilt for a future issue, similar to the "style" of my Cutting Edge quilt which had been displayed at Spring Quilt Market. Well, that was a no brainer for me - of course I would! I was lucky enough to work again with the wonderful designer solids by Free Spirit.
Well, all these months later, I am excited to share with you that my quilt is in the now-available May/June 2013 issue of Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting. You can even buy a kit of my quilt, how cool is that!
This quilt measures 60" x 72" and the stars are all paper pieced for perfect accuracy. I quilted mine with a nice meandering design all over. I just love the solids and stars, the colors...I can't wait to get it back in the mail!
Fabrics used in this quilt: Free Spirit Designer Solids in Lemon, Peach Blush, Chartreuse, Caribbean Sea, Light Jade, Jade, Sand Dune, Dogwood, Dark Coral, Flamingo, Winter White.
I thought it would be fun to share with you my original mock up for the quilt when I was in the design phase. (I do most of my design work in Photoshop).
I think the finished quilt is pretty close to the mockup.
And in weekend news, I'll be speaking this Sunday (4/21) at 2:00 at the Chicago Modern Quilt Guild. They meet at St. Peter's Church at 500 Hannah, Forest Park, IL. Just a little talk about my journey through quilting, my style, what inspires me, my design process. Hopefully people will find it interesting. I always enjoy enthusiastic nodders, so if you go, you know, nod along. lol I'll also be bringing my newly finished Arkansas Traveler Quilt to share, which I haven't posted here yet. Is that any motivation? :)
Visitors just have to pay $5, so I hope you will stop by!

Hi all,
yesterday I noticed that within my LAN access to Freesco Server's Samba shares was not possible from the WinXP clients.
I checked the process table on the Freesco server and had lots of Samba deamons/processes running ( more than 30 or 40 ) and none of them had a PID neither a PID of the parent process was shown.
I tried to restart Samba by "rc_samba restart" but the only notice was Samba services stopped --> done
And that's it.
No restart.
I checked again with "ps -ef" and the processes were still there - again without PID etc.
Any ideas what could be the reason - and how I can get rid of those processes ?
Thanks in advance

The leadership of the National Democratic Congress has confirmed to Radio XYZ that Edward Doe Adjaho has been confirmed as the next Speaker of the Sixth Parliament of the Fourth Republic, which commences on January 7, 2013.
He replaces Justice Joyce Bamford Addo who has been the Speaker of Parliament since January 2009.
Hon. Doe Adjaho who is also the MP-elect for Ave-Avenor in the Volta region would be assisted by the Foreign Affairs Minister Alhaji Mohammed Mumuni who has been selected as the First Deputy Speaker.
Hon. Adjaho will therefore have to vacate his seat in accordance with Article 97 (1) b which stipulates that "a Member shall vacate his seat in Parliament if he is officially sworn in as the Speaker of Parliament.
Hon. Alhassan Azong of the PNC and a Minister of State in charge of Public Sector Reforms has been selected as the Second Speaker of Parliament.
The decision to give the second Speaker of Parliament to the PNC member is likely to irk members of the largest opposition, the New Patriotic Party after indications were that Hon. Joe Ghartey, former Attorney General was being positioned to replace Hon. Mike Ocquaye as the second Speaker of Parliament.
Hon. Adjaho rose through the ranks in Parliament, becoming a Minority Chief Whip, Deputy Minority Leader, one time member of the Pan-African Parliament before attaining his current position as the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament.
Hon. Benjamin Kumbuor has also been selected as the majority leader replacing Cletus Avoka. Hon. Alfred Agbesi MP elect for Ashaiman constituency is the deputy majority leader.
Former Sports Minister Muntaka Mubarak is also the new Majority Chief Whip.

Here's my beauty haul. I actually bought some more but I'll be giving them away as gifts. ;)
I'll start with my Beauty Rush...
I bought two eyeshadows from this line. Even though this line isn't discontinued, the colors are. I got Glow Gold and Green Goddess.
Here is the swatch of the colors. Glow Gold on the left and Green Goddess on the right.
I also got a lipstick in this line in Grape Fruity. It seems like this line is discontinued, but I'm not 100% sure.
Here's a swatch of the lipstick. It's a light, sheer color.
Now for the Minerals...
I got one lipgloss in Untamed. It's a discontinued product.
Here's a swatch of the lipgloss. It's such a pretty, not my typical color. I still like it though! :)
The last collection is the Baked Mineral...
The second thing from this line is the Bronzing Powder in Sun Goddess. Unfortunately, everything is discontinued in this line. I have no clue why since the packaging is adorable, as well as, huge. This is the only one I found. If I found another Bronzing Powder, I would have given away as a prize. :/
Here's a swatch of the bronzing powder.
The last thing from this line I got is Luminous Cheek & Face Highlighter. Oh mi goodness the marbleized is gorgeous! I think I fell more in love with that than the color itself. :X
Here's a swatch of the cheek highlighter.

Hell Cocktail
(6 People)
Shake (or stir, what does it matter?) 3 glasses of Cognac (1 1/2 oz Cerbois VSOP Armangnac) and 3 glasses of Green Crème de Menthe (1/2 oz Brizard White Creme de Menthe). Serve with a pinch of red pepper (Cayenne Pepper) on each glass.
Glasses are, of course, 2 ounces. 12 ounces, total, for 6 people, makes it 2 oz per serving.
A half an ounce of Creme de Menthe seemed like plenty to me so I upped the Brandy.
I put it in a liqueur glass, because, frankly, this is a shooter.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

Judging by population numbers alone, it seems unlikely that my realm of Feathermoon will undergo connection to another realm, since it's solidly a medium-population realm that is within the top 20% of realms in terms of character population. However, realm population isn't necessarily the only consideration for Connected Realms. According to Blizzard's mini-FAQ (underline mine):
Q. Which realms will be connected as Connected Realms?
A. We haven't decided yet which realms will be made part of a Connected Realm, or which other realms they'll be connected to, though realms will only be connected to other realms of the same type (e.g. PvE to PvE, PvP to PvP, RP to RP). In the end, we're considering a number of factors, including Battlegroup, population, and faction balance.
The faction balance portion of that statement is relevant, because it brings up the Illidan problem. Illidan is the second most populous realm with ~213,000 characters, but is also the second most faction-skewed realm with Horde characters comprising a full ~200,000 of that ~213,000 total (a ~15 Horde : 1 Alliance character ratio). So, what does Blizzard do in this case? Does Blizzard decide to ignore Illidan's extreme faction imbalance when it comes to connecting realms, or does Blizzard connect Illidan to one (or, likely, more) Alliance-heavy realms to mitigate the difference?
If Blizzard decides to use this opportunity of creating Connected Realms to try to solve Illidan's faction woes, then I'd expect Blizzard to aim for at least ~350,000 characters or so for Illidan's Connected Realm cluster, which is significantly larger than the previously-mentioned Tichondrius' ~235,000 characters. In such a scenario, this would mean that if Connected Realms are to be made roughly similar in size, then every realm will have to be a part of a Connected Realm.
I'm interested in seeing how Blizzard will decide to handle the Illidan issue - and if Illidan players will bombard Blizzard with "You were not prepared!" memes if Blizzard chooses not to address the faction imbalance with Connected Realms.

Before I start whining, it's best to retrace our steps: The entire premise of RJKT was/is peer into our city's nightlife and culture. It's never pretended to be all-encompassing, but its limited scope was usually dependent on my ability and/or enthusiasm for getting out and doing things.
During the month of October, I went full-on hermitcore. I didn't go out, I didn't talk to people, and I sure as shit didn't write. (Well, that's not entirely true, but more on that later.) Lots of cool things were happening around town, but due to my the seasonal demands of my dayjob–which involves coaxing literally hundreds of temporary laborers into schlepping Star Wars memorabilia at maximum speed, for 60+ hours each week–I locked myself indoors.
Usually, my seclusionary tactics were the result of sheer exhaustion. But often, I felt defeated. My rhythms and routines had been ground underfoot and scattered into warehouse dust. My little pocket of the world had been thrown into chaos and doubt. Would I ever get out to a show again? Would my friends forget about me? Would I ever redevelop a taste for fruits and vegetables after spending an entire month surviving on donuts, Red Bull, and Pizza Ranch?
I was so, so close to losing hope. BUT I NEVER GAVE UP…
…on consuming degenerate art.
Without the therapeutic benefits of human interaction, I was forced to supplement my usual diet of heavy metal and beer with healthy doses of sci-fi in the following formats:
⦁ Last-gen video games
⦁ Hardcover pulp
⦁ Graphic novels
…and honestly, these nerd 'roids were probably the only things from keeping me from being crushed under the wagon's wheels.
So, in the interest of getting back on track, consider this the thank-you section of the liner notes for RJKT's unreleased harsh noise triple-album, October Crust. After we slog through this together, we can return to our regularly scheduled programming: Publicly shaming under-educated bike lane opponents and grown-ass adults that still listen to nu-metal while previewing Kato events that don't totally suck.
But first, THE SURVIVAL JAMS:
While albums from Clutch, Kylesa, and VHÖL received a ton of pre-release anticipation, the only intelli-heavy record from October to truly cash in on its massive hype was Deafheaven's New Bermuda. Next to Royksopp & Robyn's "Do It Again," "Luna" was the only thing that effectively charged my batteries when the coffee quit working.
Incidentally, it was an entire pot of dark roast (imbibed at noon) that powered my review of the record, which the Angry Metal Guy himself graciously allowed to desecrate his pages.
While lingering in the AMG offices, my friend and colleague Grymm's delightfully OTT take on the new Killing Joke album, Pylon, caught my eye. While only a few cuts got me deep–"Big Buzz" being the sharpest–it reignited a love affair with their 2006 opus, Hosannas from the Basements of Hell. New records from living legends don't have to be revolutionary, they just have to stoke the flames.
Meanwhile, left field winds brought us fresh radness from Beaten to Death, who established themselves as the most effervescent band in grindcore with 2013's Dodsfest! (which I also ranted and raved about at AMG). Their latest, Unplugged (which isn't), whips their whims into tighter, more concise assaults, and the result is absolutely batshit.
But against all odds, the month's king comes from the realm of death metal, as Dark Descent's crown jewel, Horrendous, crafted a masterpiece. Old-school DM has been the most played out sub-subgenre for ages now, especially if you still think "occult rock" has legs. But Anareta's blend of Asphyxiating vocal delivery, Atheist / Cynic prototech homages, and absolutely bonkers timechanges have prog-pushed the record into AOTY contention. (And actually, everyone's favorite record-label-ad-revenue-driven heavy metal catalog, Decibel, recently crowned it as such.)
And now, some auxiliary acknowledgements, for without these non-aural cathartic devices, I'd have barely survived.
The copy of Deus Ex: Human Revolution I swiped from We Got Game for $2.99 (TOP-NOTCH sci-fi stealth / RPG yarn that actually rewards you for not being a murderous shitbag, even when thrust into the cold machinations of a libertarian dystopia), bicycles, Transmetropolitan Volumes 5 and 6 (because the New Scum shouldn't forget where they came from), bicycles, John Scalzi's The End of All Things (proving that there's serious legs left in the Old Man's War saga), Fargo Brewing Company's Wood Chipper IPA (get it?), bicycles.
My janky bottom bracket, Scott Walker (the shitty one), big-ass trucks with North Dakota plates that don't use their turn signals, Five Finger Death Punch, people that order Coors Light at Boulder Tap House, Wallace and Gromit, the loathsome old crank in the dark blue Nissan Xterra that tried to start a fight with me last winter (with his seat belt still fastened), solitude.
Whew. That felt good. You ready to do this again, Mankato?

With so much uncertainty about the motives for the Boston Marathon bombings, journalists and investigators are probing every life detail of the two accused brothers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Were they angry at America? Islamic jihadists? Mentally unstable?
Could this have been Chechen-style tribalistic revenge for a wrong done? Were they influenced by violent video games, academic failures, or their parents' breakup?
Much is now being read into their public statements.
"Worldview: Islam. Personal priority: career and money," wrote Dzhokhar.
"I don't have a single American friend, I don't understand them," said the older brother, Tamerlan.
Their uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, told reporters: "Being losers, not being able to settle themselves and thereby just hating everyone else who did."
The list of possible reasons goes on as more information about them is revealed – perhaps even by an injured Dzhokhar from his hospital bed.
The public desire for a simple explanation is driven by a desire for simple solutions to prevent a similar attack. After almost every mass killing – Boston, Newtown, Aurora, 9/11, etc. – the public fear of a recurrence pushes the drive for quick remedies, especially from government. Yet too often elected leaders and law enforcement respond hastily with simplistic or even wrong preventive measures.
Remember the five-color "threat alert system" from the Department of Homeland Security? It's gone. The invasion of Iraq, too, looks like a misguided response to 9/11. Airport security checks are being constantly revised.
Pinning down the motives of an attacker can be an impossible task, making prevention more complex. And merely adding more "hard" defenses – such as armed teachers in schools, drone attacks on terrorists, or bag checks at public events like a marathon – may not be enough without dealing with motives. Background checks for gun buyers, however, at least begins to deal with motives – weeding out those not stable or trustworthy enough to own a gun.
As the final capture of the suspected Boston bombers shows, government needs everyone to be alert in helping solve and perhaps prevent a mass crime. The bombers had been filmed by private citizens, for example, and Dzhokhar was discovered in a boat by an alert resident of Watertown, Mass.
Such actions speak to a deeper need to be aware of others – mainly troubled young men – who may act or speak in a way that could lead to violence. Would-be killers can be stopped if only one person perceives something wrong and works to counteract it.
This isn't always easy. Being alert to evil motives takes discernment as well as well-meaning and sensitive outreach. How many mass killings have been prevented by wise intervention? We may never know. But what if someone had been able to reach Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev before they descended into darkness?
As more potential motives in this case become clear, each one is a cause for people to see if there are others in their lives who might have similar motives. "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good," Paul wrote in Romans.
Or as poet Wordsworth reminds us: "The best portion of a good man's life: his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love."

Red iron oxide varies in hue and transparency, depending on hydration and slight impurities. Indian Red is a slightly duller, deep brick hue with a bluish undertone. It is very dense and opaque, with excellent tinting strength and covering power. It is dependable when mixing with all other permanent pigments and yields good flesh tints when mixed with Zinc White. It is the synthetic version of PR102, which is a pigment made from earth reds, or natural red iron oxides, and the names applied to PR101 and PR102 often overlap. The synthetic red iron oxides have mostly replaced natural red iron oxides and are brighter, stronger, finer, and more permanent. Indian Red is the highest grade bluish shade. Light Red, English Red, and Venetian Red are yellowish shades. Mars Violet is a dull and subdued bluish or purplish oxide.
Red iron oxide is very lightfast with excellent permanence.
Red iron oxide has no significant hazards.
Natural red iron oxide comes from the mineral ore hematite, called bloodstone by the ancient Greeks from the word hema, meaning blood. It is one of the oldest pigments, has been used by every major civilization, and was an important mineral for medieval alchemists. It was not widely used in artists' materials until the 17th century and was not produced in large quantities until the 18th century.

text: Hayek did not actually criticise Cartesianism in itself, but rather "Cartesian Dualism". In "Law, Legislation and Liberty", Chapter I, paragraph "Reason and abstraction", he explained his position on rationality, abstraction and evolutionism: abstraction is not a conscious operation of the agent upon reality, but it is what constitutes his perceptions of it –and what is subject to blind evolution. So, I do not see such contradiction in Hayek's thought as Fukuyama does.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A New Mexico-based company is recalling 76 types of peanut butter and almond butter after one of its products was linked to a salmonella outbreak at Trader Joe's groceries.
Sunland Inc. recalled the products under multiple brand names after the Food and Drug Administration and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention linked 29 salmonella illnesses in 18 states to Trader Joe's Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter. Sunland manufactures and packages the Trader Joe's product.
A Sunland spokeswoman said the company recalled the other peanut and almond butters because they were manufactured with the same equipment as the Trader Joe's product. None of the other products have been linked to illnesses.
Trader Joe's recalled the Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter from its stores Saturday.

One of the most active threats we face today on the Internet is cyber-crime. Increasingly capable criminals are constantly developing more sophisticated means of profiting from online criminal activity. This paper demonstrates a growing, sophisticated technique called fast-flux service networks which we are seeing increasingly used in the wild. Fast-flux service networks are a network of compromised computer systems with public DNS records that are constantly changing, in some cases every few minutes. These constantly changing architectures make it much more difficult to track down criminal activities and shut down their operations.
In this paper we will first provide an overview of what fast-flux service networks are, how they operate, and how the criminal community is leveraging them, including two types which we have designated as single-flux and double-flux service networks. We then provide several examples of fast-flux service networks recently observed in the wild,. Next we detail how fast-flux service network malware operates and present the results of research where a honeypot was purposely infected with a fast-flux agent. Finally we cover how to detect, identify, and mitigate fast-flux service networks, primarily in large networking environments. At the end we supply five appendixes providing additional information for those interested in digging into more technical detail.

Hidden Controls and ViewState
I don't know if it is obvious how important ViewState is for hidden controls. I would like to stress where ViewState plays important role for hidden controls (not visible) as it often leads to not obvious problems.
If you like to explore how different ASP.NET controls use ViewState to store their data, Nikhil Kothari's Web Development Helper is a very helpful tool. I definitely recommend to download and install it, if you like to know what is in your ViewState.
TextBox when placed on a web form usually does not require ViewState to be enabled to provide its core functionality "being input box". You can check that __VIEWSTATE hidden field is the same across post-backs if you change the value in your TextBox on the following form:
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="TextBox1"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="TextBox2"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="Submit" Text="Submit" />
ASP.NET does not store value of the Text property of TextBox in the ViewState, because its value is submitted by the <input type=text> to the server on each post-back. (ASP.NET does save Text property into ViewState if TextChanged event has at least one event handler. This is required to compare currently submitted value with a previous value and raise event only when the value has changed).
However, when TextBox control is not visible or it is placed in any not visible control, TextBox controls does not render <input type=text> to the Html writer and ViewState plays its important role. Invisible TextBox controls save their Text property as all other properties in its ViewState collection.
It is easy to see how disabled ViewState impacts behavior of:
<asp:MultiView runat="server" ID="MultiView">
<asp:View runat="server" ID="View1">
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="SwitchToNextButton" Text="Next" OnClick="SwitchToNextButton_Click" />
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="TextBox" />
<asp:View runat="server" ID="View2">
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="SwitchToPreviousButton" Text="Previous" OnClick="SwitchToPreviousButton_Click" />
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="Button" Text="Postback" />
protected void SwitchToNextButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
protected void SwitchToPreviousButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
You can type some text in the TextBox and switch to another View in the MultiView. Then, if you click "Previous" button, the first View appears and TextBox control shows text you have typed.
If you disable ViewState for the MultiView (and thus for all its children), TextBox keeps showing your text only while it is visible. Once you hide it by switching to another view, TextBox becomes empty.
Be accurate when disabling ViewState for a whole page or for a large part of the page, if you don't know what controls exactly will be placed there.

With funding from the beef checkoff, the industry has been tracking beef tenderness for 20 years with the first benchmarking survey conducted in 1990. In more recent surveys, foodservice cuts were added and a consumer sensory panel was substituted for previously used trained sensory panels because the consumer's perception of tenderness is the ultimate determinant of a cut's success.
"Beef quality, when you think about it, means a lot of things to a lot of people, but to a consumer, quality has everything to do with consistency, flavor, tenderness and overall taste," says Molly McAdams, PhD and chair of the checkoff's Joint Product Enhancement Committee.
The 1999 survey revealed a 20 percent increase in tenderness as compared to 1990. The increased tenderness noted from 1990 to 1999, to a large extent, is attributable to the checkoff-funded science which has increased the industry's understanding of beef palatability.
Results of the 2005-06 survey showed an 18 percent overall increase in tenderness as compared to 1999. However, authors of the 2005-06 survey suggested that efforts still were needed to emphasize appropriate cooking methods for the variety of available retail cuts.
The 2010-11 survey was the fourth in the series to quantify the current status of tenderness compared to previous surveys. The final verdict? Most steaks evaluated in the 2010-11 survey were considered tender and similar to steaks evaluated in 2005-06. The least tender cuts continue to be from the round, suggesting the need for improved aging practices and increased consumer education focused on proper preparation and cooking to enhance consumer satisfaction.
"Information from the National Beef Tenderness Survey has been very important in setting priorities for additional research that needs to be conducted in product enhancement, to look at where there are gaps in information or lack of information in certain areas," concludes Jeff Savell, PhD and professor of Animal Science at Texas A&M University. Click here to read the full executive summary. For more information about your beef checkoff investment, visit MyBeefCheckoff.com.
The Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.

Illini rebound to eliminate Michigan from Big 10 tourney
MINNEAPOLIS -- Outdone by Minnesota's ninth-inning walk-off hit one day earlier, Illinois stayed alive on the second day of the Big Ten baseball tournament by eliminating Michigan with a 3-2 victory Thursday at Target Field.
Michigan -- after being pounded, 11-2, by Nebraska on Wednesday -- was not able to avoid an early tourney exit.
MINNEAPOLIS -- Outdone by Minnesota's ninth-inning walk-off hit one day earlier, Illinois stayed alive on the second day of the Big Ten baseball tournament by eliminating Michigan with a 3-2 victory Thursday at Target Field.
Michigan -- after being pounded, 11-2, by Nebraska on Wednesday -- was not able to avoid an early tourney exit.
Illini starter John Kravetz maneuvered through the Wolverines' lineup to hold them to two runs in 7 1/3 innings. Trailing by two runs entering the eighth inning, Michigan came close to spoiling Kravetz's outing by cutting Illinois' lead to one with only one out. But Illinois reliever Drasen Johnson bailed Kravetz out, forcing Michigan to strand the potential tying run at third base.
"We had them right where we wanted them," Illini coach Dan Hartleb joked. "Drasen has done that several times this year -- induce double plays or get a big strikeout. Our guys were confident that we were going to get the job done."
The Illini -- as the No. 5 seed, the second-highest nationally ranked team in the tournament (No. 30) -- used a pair of early runs during a refreshingly sunny afternoon. Sophomore designated hitter Michael Hurwirtz's RBI triple in the fifth inning, which put Illinois out front, 3-1, proved to be the decisive run.
Michigan's All-Big Ten first-team center fielder, Michael O'Neill, a highly rated prospect in the upcoming MLB Draft (No. 86 on MLB.com's Top 100 Prospects list), rebounded from an 0-for-4 night with a critical triple to initiate the rally in the eighth. However, O'Neill grounded out one inning later with a runner on base, promptly ending the Wolverines' final comeback attempt.
Illinois, with its chances at gaining a NCAA tournament bid still intact, remains three wins from reaching the championship game of the double-elimination tournament. The Illini will face No. 4 Minnesota on Friday.
"I still think we're an NCAA tournament team -- I believe that," Hartleb said. "We've beaten good people. We're a good club. You look at our losses this year, we really haven't been blown out. They've been tight games. ... I do think we deserve to be in the NCAA tournament. I think today obviously helps our resume."
MINNEAPOLIS -- Despite watching its slim one-run lead disappear in the ninth inning, Ohio State prevailed in its opening game of the Big Ten tournament on Thursday after a bases-loaded walk propelled the Buckeyes to a 3-2 walk-off victory over Nebraska.
After a late-season skid spoiled their chances at claiming the conference's regular season title, the No. 2-seeded Buckeyes narrowly moved one step closer to redeeming themselves on Day 2 of the Big Ten tourney at Target Field.
Ohio State, back at Target Field three years after playing the University of Minnesota in the ballpark's inaugural game in 2010, withstood numerous rally attempts from the Huskers to put Nebraska one loss from being knocked out of the double-elimination tournament.
Ohio State starter Brad Goldberg outdueled Nebraska's Aaron Bummer, working 6 2/3 innings while allowing only one earned run and striking out six.
The Buckeyes scattered six hits throughout the afternoon. An RBI triple by junior Michael Pritchard in the fifth inning broke a 1-1 tie. It nearly held up as the winning hit before Nebraska's Ryan Peters hit a two-out run-scoring single off usually unflappable closer Trace Dempsey in the final inning to even the score.
But Huskers reliever Dylan Vogt unraveled. He walked three of the five batters he faced, eventually allowing Ohio State's Patrick Porter to cross the plate to clinch the win.
"It wasn't the prettiest way to get it done, but our guys fought and found a way to scratch out another run in the ninth inning," Buckeyes coach Greg Beals said. "It was big for our team to be able to do that after the blown save."
Ohio State moves on to the semifinals and will meet the top seed, Indiana, which defeated No. 4 Minnesota on Thursday night. A victory on Friday at 7:05 p.m. CT would put the Buckeyes in the championship game for the first time since 2007, when they defeated Minnesota for the Big Ten title.
Meanwhile, Nebraska's path has become more convoluted. The Huskers gained a one-game bye with a Gophers loss, but on Friday night they will have to face the winner of a 12:05 p.m. game between No. 5 Illinois and Minnesota. Illinois defeated Michigan, 3-2, in the tournament's first elimination game, earlier on Thursday.
MINNEAPOLIS -- Anchored by a three-run first inning on Thursday night, top-seeded Indiana held off the Minnesota Gophers in a 4-2 win on the second day of the Big Ten baseball tournament at Target Field.
While Minnesota didn't fade easily, Indiana held off the "hometown" Gophers thanks in large part to a solid start by All-Big Ten first-team pitcher Aaron Slegers. In a seven-inning outing, Slegers allowed one run on five hits and struck out seven batters.
Gophers starter D.J. Snelten rebounded after a rocky first inning in which he surrendered three runs on a trio of doubles. But for a Minnesota offense that has struggled to score runs at times this season, the early deficit was costly.
Down, 4-1, in the eighth inning, senior center fielder Troy Larson set up a Minnesota rally with a leadoff single. Reliever Scott Effross eventually guided Indiana out of danger, keeping the Gophers to only one run.
Designated hitter Scott Donley went 2-for-4, spurring the Hoosiers with two RBIs, including the single that stretched Indiana's lead to three runs in the fifth inning.
No. 2 Ohio State awaits Indiana (41-13) on Friday at 7:05 p.m. CT, with a spot in the tournament's championship game up for grabs. The two teams are one week removed from their previous matchup, which saw Indiana take two of three games to stave off the Buckeyes for the Big Ten regular-season title.
On the other side of the bracket, the Gophers (31-21) face a quick turnaround, with an elimination rematch of their opening-round game against No. 5 Illinois set to start at 12:05 p.m. Minnesota's loss provided the Nebraska Cornhuskers, who fell to Ohio State earlier on Thursday, a one-game bye. Nebraska will take on either Illinois or Minnesota following the conclusion of that game.

Most people probably don't consider a six-month dental checkup particularly inspirational, but for Bill Witherspoon, a trip to the dentist's chair prompted the development of a unique lighting technology called SkyCeilings. Produced by Witherspoon's company, the Sky Factory, Fairfield, Iowa, SkyCeilings are photographic images of real skies that fit into standard drop-ceiling grid systems and feature the company's own light box to illuminate the translucent images from behind.
"I think almost everyone has had the experience of lying in a confined space, such as a hospital bed or the dentist's chair, and counting specks on the ceiling," says Skye Witherspoon, Bill's son and product developer for the Sky Factory. "Situations like these are what spurred this product's invention."
The system is comprised of three parts: Luminous SkyTiles, SkyTile Elevators, and fluorescent or LED lamps. The tiles are high-resolution photographic images on translucent acrylic or polycarbonate panels that the company says meet or exceed all national and international fire-safety codes. The elevators, which are square or rectangular aluminum frames that snap into the T-bar cells of a ceiling grid system, raise the tile 1¼ inches above the ceiling grid to create a 3D support structure that mimics a real skylight.
"I think that when people see our product it's always a big surprise," notes Skye Witherspoon. "A lot of people are fooled by the illusion of nature we create. People have entered a building that has a SkyCeiling, looked up, and been dumbfounded. They said, 'I was just outside a few minutes ago, and it was cloudy. What's going on?'"
According to the company, SkyCeilings fit into standard 2-ft × 2-ft, 2-ft × 4-ft, 60-cm × 60-cm, or custom grid systems. Although a rectilinear shape is the most common, other choices include circular and elliptical. Available in thousands of images, the product uses either 6,500-Kelvin daylight-balanced T5 fluorescent lamps or 6,500-Kelvin daylight-balanced LEDs. All T5 fluorescent systems can be fitted with an optional dimming system that can include manual, remote, or programmed switching. Furthermore, a digitally addressable lighting interface (DALI) can be programmed to produce a range of lighting effects, including the ability to program the product at any latitude and longitude to follow the rising and setting of the sun as well as track the seasons. Applications for this feature include hospital ICUs where it is important to reinforce or re-establish circadian rhythms to promote healing. In nurse's stations, casinos, and other 24-hour environments where a high level of alertness is needed, the process can be reversed — triggering the affect of midday in the middle of the night.
Designed for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suites and other shielded environments required to be radio frequency interference-free, the LED model offers up to approximately 100,000 hours of operating life. "Although our LED system was developed for this specific type of environment, we have started to see a demand for it in commercial or residential facilities," says Skye Witherspoon.
Dr. Cheryl Kantor-Goldenberg, a dentist whose private practice is located in mid-town Manhattan, says the SkyCeilings installed in her office serve as a distraction while patients are receiving dental treatment.
"They elevate my office ambience to a spa-like level," she says. "I've had people actually come in who didn't have an appointment but just wanted to sit and look at them for a while."
Kantor- Goldenberg says she ordered the SkyCeilings because she thought they were beautiful, but didn't anticipate how calm they would keep her staff.
"My assistant and I completely credit them with the lessened frenetic activity that we've noticed during the past four years since we've been working in our new office," she adds.
Pricing for a standard luminous T5 SkyCeiling from 4 square ft to 16 square ft begins at $105 per square ft while the cost per square ft for the LED system from 4 square ft to 16 square ft is approximately $175 plus $415 for the DC low-voltage power supply.

Franck Bohbot
Wonder Wheel By Night Coney Island NYAbout this photograph
These photographs come from the Light On series that Franck Bohbot produced between 2013 and 2014 in New York. The artist captured the lights and colours that illuminate the nocturnal cityscape thanks to the lighting from the myriad storefronts of grocery stores, restaurants, apartment buildings, or fair grounds. While they conserve their activity, the latter become gradually devoid of people as the night goes on, thus giving way to a "second life", a calmer and more laidback one. Like the photographs of Robert Frank, particularly those of Detroit and New York, Franck Bohbot succeeds in revealing another side to America, through urban scenes and portraits of Americans taken in the course of their daily life. His various views, each taken with a long exposure time, give a highly contrasted and dynamic effect to the compositions, which highlight the various kinds of architecture he encounters. They also confer a deliberately cinematographic character to his shots, bearing witness to the photographer's fascination for architecture and its importance in films.Read more Read less

Franck Bohbot is a french photographer and visual artist best know for his use of color photography. He focuses his artistic research on public spaces, urban landscapes and environmental portraits. Rooted in his fascination with cinematographic iconography, his thematics study the relationship between the individual and architecture. He has drawn artistic inspiration from figures as diverse as Luigi Ghirri, Walker Evans, Edward Hopper, or William Eggleston. While manipulating color with great precision, he highlights the soft subtleties of this relationship by playing with both fluorescent and melancholic light and chromatics. Each one of Bohbot's works features these photographic intentions — through their enigmatic atmosphere, documentary-style approach, and timeless feel, we are transported to a dreamy, velvety, and nearly infinite visual paradise. His unique style enabled him to work with prestigious magazines, institutions and designers such as the New York Times, The New York Magazine, National Geographic, The Louvre Museum, Sotheby's, Paul Smith and Christian Dior. He works and lives in New York City.

Paul McGinley was understandably "thrilled" to be selected to lead Europe in their defence of The Ryder Cup at Gleneagles in Scotland next year.
The 46-year-old Dubliner, who becomes Ireland's first Captain in the event, takes over from José María Olazábal against an American side that will have golfing great Tom Watson back in charge at the age of 65.
McGinley holed the ten-foot winning putt on his debut at The Belfry in 2002 and was also part of the victorious sides in 2004 and 2006 before becoming an assistant to Colin Montgomerie three years ago and then Olazába at Medinah - both wins as well, of course.
McGinley said: "It's a week that I'm really looking forward to."
"I'm obviously very pleased to be in this situation. This is a position that I'm really thrilled to be in, and it's also a very humbling experience. I can't wait to get into the role of being the Captain.
"I'm relishing the thought of taking on one of my great heroes, Tom Watson.
"He's not only a wonderful person abut a great ambassador for the game of golf.
"I've never had an opportunity to go up against him in a playing sense.
"To go up against him in a captaincy sense will be a real thrill for me."
He had been in the frame for the job ever since being made Britain and Ireland captain against Continental Europe in the Seve Trophy in 2009. Whether hitting the shots or not, he was never on the losing side there either.
Despite the credentials, he faced competition for the captaincy with Tournament Committee Chairman Thomas Björn revealing five players were considered for the role.
"It was our job to discuss everybody that's been thrown around, and we discussed them all thoroughly. But this committee is 100 per cent behind this captain and that was really obvious very early in the meeting. Our players on Tour wanted us to make this decision, and we listened to our players and that's who we represent.
"We are all thrilled that we have Paul as a captain. I think that as a captain, he will bring the Tour even more together. He is one of us. There has never been a distance to Paul. He's a guy you can talk to. He's got great opinions and he's been fantastic in The Ryder Cup."
George O'Grady, Chief Executive of The European Tour, said: "I think it's a wonderful achievement for Paul, which reflects his great service to The European Tour, his outstanding leadership in the Seve Trophy, Vivendi Trophy; and was carried by unanimous decision of the players' committee, which I think is a testament to the democracy of the process. Superb chairmanship of our chairman, Thomas Björn. Congratulations, Paul."
McGinley will bring years of studying the art of captaincy to the position.
"Personally, I love the tactical side of it, the motivational side and the team element of it - and I love being in the team room," he said in August.
"The team meetings always give me a great buzz as a player.
"I don't want to give too much away, but I do watch a lot of things you wouldn't even know about, including press conferences.
"I'm intrigued with it, I have to say. I'm intrigued with how Ryder Cups have been won and lost over the years.
"I've asked a lot of questions of a lot of people and got a lot of information, not just from our side. I've always enjoyed having a beer with the American players or captain afterwards.
"I've done that on a few occasions and asked them their strategy for the week and why did they make certain decisions."
McIlroy, who was present at the announcement along with Padraig Harrington, Shane Lowry and Peter Lawrie, predictably welcomed the appointment.
He wrote on Twitter: "Common sense prevailed in the end.... Paul McGinley 2014 European Ryder Cup captain!!! Couldn't be happier for him... Roll on Gleneagles."
Tom Watson was among the first to offer his congratulations: "I congratulate Paul McGinley upon his selection as the next European Ryder Cup Captain and anticipate that his passion and love of the event will transfer to being an outstanding leader of his team in 2014 at Gleneagles. Paul has been connected to five winning European Ryder Cup Teams and is an outstanding representative of European golf. I look forward to sharing the stage with him as we make our journey to Scotland."
Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond also sent his support, saying: "I'm sure the whole of Scotland will join me in welcoming Paul McGinley and congratulating him on his appointment as captain of the European team for the 2014 Ryder Cup at Gleneagles.
"Paul is a model professional and has always been held in extremely high regard by the Scottish golfing public and he can be sure the whole country will be behind him and his team come September 2014.
"Of course, he already has a place in Ryder Cup history thanks to his winning putt at The Belfry in 2002 and we are all hoping he adds another incredible chapter to that history when the Ryder Cup visits the Home of Golf in less than two years' time."
Ted Bishop, President of the PGA of America, said: "The PGA of America congratulates Paul McGinley as Europe's next Ryder Cup Captain. I will never forget the scene at The Belfry in 2002 when Paul holed a putt on the 18th hole to halve Jim Furyk which won the Ryder Cup for Europe and his subsequent celebratory dive into the neighboring pond. Images of an emotional Paul with the Irish flag wrapped around his body is something I will always remember. We join our partners and friends across the Atlantic in preparing for what should be one of the greatest chapters in Ryder Cup history."

The Highlanders sneaked home 18-16 over the Hurricanes after both sides worked each other to a standstill in their Super Rugby derby in Wellington on Friday.
The Hurricanes scored the only try in the tense, high-stakes battle, with the Highlanders relying on the boot of five-eighth Hayden Parker to get them home.
Parker kicked five penalties before landing the match-winning drop goal with 16 minutes remaining.
In the countdown to the final whistle, the Hurricanes squandered two chances to snatch back the lead.
Andre Taylor, who took over the kicking duties from an injured Beauden Barrett, missed a close-range penalty, and a try to TJ Perenara was disallowed when television replays detected obstruction by a Hurricanes forward.
"It was one of those games where each team didn't want to give up much so it was pretty tight," said Highlanders captain Ben Smith, who described the outcome as an "ugly" victory.
Both sides started on 30 points, with the Hurricanes sixth on the table and the Highlanders seventh.
While the win kept the Highlanders in finals contention, the Hurricanes suffered a significant blow to their top-six hopes.
The Hurricanes led 13-9 at halftime, with Perenara scoring the only try in the match, Barrett landing two penalties and Taylor a conversion and penalty.
Perenara's try came with the score locked at 6-6 shortly before halftime, when he slipped around a Highlanders scrum to knock the ball out of Aaron Smith's hands and then recover possession.
The Highlanders squandered three try-scoring opportunities in the first half when they ran out of numbers at the breakdown in multiple-phase play, allowing the Hurricanes to win crucial defensive turnovers, leaving them reliant on Parker's boot.
Highlanders' rising star Malakai Fekitoa and All Blacks veteran Conrad Smith cancelled each other out in the centre, although defensively Fekitoa stood out for cutting down both Cory Jane and Julian Savea from behind when tries to the Hurricanes appeared imminent.
The Highlanders have now won five of their six games since beating the Hurricanes for the first time this year two months ago in round six.
The Hurricanes have won five of their seven games since then.

SBA Emerging Leaders Class Builds Success for Native American Business
Developing a plan for growth and creating the professional networks that lead to business success are two of the outcomes created by the U.S. Small Business Administration's Emerging Leaders class according to graduates of the training program.
James Ryals, President of Arnold Electric, credits the Tulsa Emerging Leaders program with helping develop his business by encouraging him to focus on things his company was doing but maybe wasn't tracking or lacked procedures for. It also provided important contacts with the Corps of Engineers that later resulted in Arnold Electric bidding on and securing an important contract at Tinker AFB.
"It showed us how we were progressing rather than waiting until the end of the year to see if we made money," Ryals said. "It focused more on running my business than simply working. It gave us the networking contacts and confidence to grow our business."
The U.S. Small Business Administration recently launched its 2013 Emerging Leaders executive-level training initiative, formerly known as e200, in 27 cities and communities across the country. Since 2008 the initiative has trained more than 1,300 promising small business owners in underserved communities, and continues to expand its impact helping small businesses grow and create jobs.
Mark Masters, President of Chloeta Fire, LLC., points to the Oklahoma City Emerging Leaders program as a turning point in his efforts to turn a good idea into a good business.
"I knew a lot about wild land firefighting but I was not a business person by any means," Masters said. "I look at the e200 program as the launching point for us. If it had not been for the e200 program then I'm certain we would not have achieved the level of success that we have had."
Masters was named U.S. Small Business Administration National Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2012.
"Oklahoma is fortunate to have two locations offering the Emerging Leaders Program," said Dottie Overal, Oklahoma SBA District Director. "This is a great opportunity for our Native American small businesses to create a plan for growth that will propel them to the next level of success."
The seven-month executive leader curriculum includes approximately 100 hours of classroom time per participant and provides the opportunity for small business owners to work with experienced mentors, attend workshops, and develop connections with their peers, city leaders, and financial communities. Local recruitment for the 2013 training cycle started February 1 through SBA district offices, and classes are scheduled to begin in April. Classes focusing on Native American Small Businesses will be held in Oklahoma City and Tulsa.
Small business owner interested in joining the 2013 class should contact Cindi Carter at the SBA, 405/609-8018.

After beloved Miss Louise & Aunt Tillie died I somehow ended up, in my 40's, with a copy of Hemingway's, A Moveable Feast.
It's repulsive how much I like Hemingway's writing. Hemingway's, Pilar, above.
Running From Crazy, Barbara Kopple's new documentary about Hemingway's 'mental illness' doesn't mention 'addiction' in promotional materials. Odd, yes? (Hemingway's pool, above, "" . . .The swimming pool is wonderful -it is very large and the water, from away under the reef, is fairly salt. Also it lights up at night -I find that each underwater bulb is five times the voltage of the one bulb in the light house across the street, so the pool must be visible to Mars -it is wonderful to swim around in a sort of green fire, one's friends look like luminous frogs . . .", Elizabeth Bishop.)
(Had to include Hemingway's treasure box, above. A past client had one & it was loaded with heirloom silver pieces, more than Jack Sparrow could imagine.)
Hemingway's home now, above.
Ca. 1933, above, Hemingway's garden as he knew it, Jane Austen 'rustic'. Much better than the 'neat' garden tourists demand.

Old earth creationism
From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science
Old earth creationism is the belief in religious creationism that stays with the current scientific community's assessment of the Earth's age. The view is accepted by a large number of Christians. Some have made alternate interpretations of the scripture in keeping with the evolutionary time line. Most old earth creationists hold that the flood detailed in Genesis 6-8 was a local or regional flood.
Types of beliefs
There are three main schools of old-earth creation science thought:
- Progressive creationism - also known as day-age creationism, is an attempt to harmonize the Bible with current scientific beliefs such as stellar evolution, and the fossil record. It assumes the days of the creation were actually broad lengths of time, and proposes that God separately created the various kinds of animals and later man, but over a long period of time. It also accepts the evolutionary time scale (simple to complex over millions of years) but has more input from God. Hugh Ross and the Reasons to Believe ministry teaches progressive creation. The illustration above is quite similar to a progressive-creationist timeline chart.
- Gap theory creationism assumes that a vast period of time elapsed between the first two verses of Genesis. Most variations of this theory interpret Genesis 1:1 as the first creation, which included the creation of the heavens, the earth, plants and animals, and even a race of humans preceding Adam. Perhaps billions of years then elapsed, during which time Satan and his angels fell and corrupted the inhabitants of the earth. God then judged and destroyed the earth and all its inhabitants. Thus, the earth became "formless and void" (Genesis 1:2 ) and remained that way for eons. The second creation, according to the gap theory, began in Genesis 1:3 with the first day of the familiar six days of creation of the (re)creation week.
- Theistic evolutionism is the belief in both the theory of evolution and God (a combination of evolutionism and theism). It is held by most that the creation account in the book of Genesis is a non-literal story written simply to teach that man is fallen, and not meant to describe the specific circumstances regarding the origins of the universe. Theistic evolutionists fully accept that evolution is the scientific description of how organisms change over time and the result of descent with modification. At the same time, the theistic evolutionist is a theist - who believes in a God who is both personal and concerned with His creation. Theistic evolutionists could thus belong to any of the three main monotheistic faiths, or to any other theistic faith.
