One man is dead after officials say he fell off of a truck bed.
What does it mean to be a citizen in the United States? That's one of the questions ABAC professors will be asking their students for their Constitution Day celebration.
September 17th marks the 226th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution by Georgia's own Abraham Baldwin. ABAC is named after Baldwin whose signature and accomplishments are displayed on the campus. A PBS film focusing on the experiences of Hispanics in America will be shown in honor of Constitution Day. Professors hope the film encourages both faculty and students to think about what citizenship in the United States means to them.
"What does it mean to you to be a citizen in the United States of America, said ABAC Associate Professor of History James Galt-Brown. " "What does America mean to you as a citizen? What are your responsibilities to it, and what are its responsibilities to you? Like President Kennedy said in 1961, ask not what your country can do for you but rather what you can do for your country."
The film starts Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. in Conger Hall on ABAC's campus.

Q&A: I am 10 weeks and 2 days pregnant. Should I be concerned about not gaining weight yet?
I am pregnant with my first child. I am 10 weeks and 2 days along. I have had a little bit of morning sickness, but have not vomited. I checked the scales today and I have not gained a single pound, though my belly does stick out a little more than usual. I am 5'5'' and 140 pounds. I have been eating like I normally do. Should I be concerned about not gaining weight yet? What is considered normal at this stage?
If you're eating and not throwing up, it's got to be going somewhere! You're not going to see a burst of weight until into your 2nd trimester, so don't worry at this time. You don't have to have vomiting in pregnancy, either. If you're losing weight, though, inform your doctor. Otherwise, wait…you'll feel pregnancy soon enough.

Symmetry Medical Inc. Stock Downgraded (SMA)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 3.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 20.1%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Health Care Equipment & Supplies industry. The net income increased by 609.3% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $0.53 million to $3.74 million.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, reflecting both the market's overall trend during that period and the fact that the company's earnings growth has been robust. Looking ahead, the stock's rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry, implying reduced upside potential.
- The gross profit margin for SYMMETRY MEDICAL INC is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 28.00%. Regardless of SMA's low profit margin, it has managed to increase from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, SMA's net profit margin of 3.70% is significantly lower than the same period one year prior.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Health Care Equipment & Supplies industry and the overall market, SYMMETRY MEDICAL INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Time with God - Aug. 9, 2011
Tuesday 9th August
But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the king's choice food or with the wine which he drank; so he sought permission from the commander of the officials that he might not defile himself. (v.8)
Focusing on God will help you stand up!
Not only do I need to wake up God's way, recognizing that each new day is God's day that He has brought into my life—a day in which He wants to walk with me, and make my life spiritually fruitful, and deepen my knowledge of Him—but also I need to make up my mind to stand up for what I know is right, to stand for God no matter what, to honor and glorify Him in my life.
Even when no one else around you is pursuing God, make the commitment to pursue Him. Even when everyone else accepts moral compromise, you stand for what is right. It will not be easy, but it will be worth it. When you pray, there will not be anything shaming you in the back of your mind. When you get older you will not regret the way you have chosen to live.
Though others may not always like it, they will respect you for your stand. If you choose not to stand up for what is right, then your life will lose its significance.
Is God calling you to be bold for Him in some area of your life today?

Right now, McCoughtry is playing for a women's league in Istanbul, Turkey, so she couldn't attend Wednesday's event.
She's also a member of the Atlanta Dream and played for this year's Olympic team.

We tried unsucessfully for years to get rid of our problem and nothing worked. We tried Ovide and it worked great. We didn't even need to use a fine tooth comb afterward to get rid of the nits. They came out on the own over the next few days with regular brushing. I was so impressed with this medicine. We had fought and won small battles but nothing worked for very long.

Olives are my fav. For those of you who are also HIMYM addicts, the "olive rule" is one of the cutest story lines ever:
On Lily and Marshall's first date, Marshall got olives in his salad. Lily asked if he likes olives and Marshall said he didn't, and let Lily have them. Marshall says The Olive Rule says that makes them a perfect couple, because he can let Lily have all his olives.
Turns out Marshall actually loves olives, and just pretended he didn't to make Lily happy.
Olive tapenade:
1 jar Spanish olives
A few capers
A dash of garlic (powder), salt, and pepper
A splash of olive oil
A bit of ground mustard
Combine in food processor. Eat with pita chips (or spoon).

My first attempt at drawing realism of an actual person. O.O (Nao from Alice Nine)

It doesn't look exactly like the picture, so of course I'm like "mehhh" about it, but I'm still happy that I can do realism now. XD The hair shading is crap, though. Dunno if I'll put this on DA or not. o__o

Wild payroll, salary cap situationPosted on August 21st, 2009 – 3:04 PM
By Michael Russo
Unbelievable, but I'm done figuring this out because my head's going to explode. For some reason, excel was not computing it correctly on my spread sheet. The Wild's cap number is indeed $54,403,527 (hopefully).
Good night and good luck. Essentially, if Tanguay is signed, the Wild would almost certainly have to trade a player before the season and it could cost Gillies or Weller jobs out of camp.
Sorry for the repeated errors, but hopefully all's good now.
Obviously this is unofficial, but here's what I got.
Under contract: G Niklas Backstrom, $6 million; RW Martin Havlat, $5 million ($4 million salary); D Kim Johnsson, $4.85 million ($5.3 million); RW Pierre-Marc Bouchard, $4.08 million ($4.25 million); D Brent Burns, $3.55 million ($3.4 million); D Nick Schultz, $3.5 million ($3.4 million); D Marek Zidlicky, $3.35 million ($3.5 million); C Mikko Koivu, $3.25 million ($3.3 million); RW Owen Nolan, $2.75 million; RW Antti Miettinen, $2.33 million ($2.5 million); LW Andrew Brunette, $2.33 million ($2.5 million); D Greg Zanon, $1.93 million ($1.7 million); C Eric Belanger, $1.75 million; C James Sheppard, $1.4 million ($765,000); C Kyle Brodziak, $1.15 million ($1.05 million); G Josh Harding, $1.1 million; LW Colton Gillies, $1.0417 million ($875,000); LW Derek Boogaard, $875,000 ($1.025 million); C-LW Benoit Pouliot, $803,250; D Shane Hnidy, $750,000; RW Cal Clutterbuck, $725,800 ($623,000); RW Craig Weller, $600,000 ($625,000), D John Scott, $550,000.
Total cap hit: $54,403,527 for 23 players, including $727,778 charged for bought-out Mark Parrish. Salary cap is $56.8 million.
Total actual salary: $53,444,028 for 23 players, including $927,778 owed to Parrish and excluding potential bonuses paid to Sheppard and Gillies.
* Salary Cap hit first number; in parentheses is actual salary.

National Shrimp Scampi Day is on Monday, April 29 and Chef Amir of Ben & Jack's Steakhouse in Scottsdale is sharing a recipe for shrimp scampi.
Shrimp Scampi
Bring an 8 -quart pot of salted water to a boil. In the meantime, add the bacon in a 12-inch skillet over moderate heat to render the fat. When most of the fat has melted away, remove the crispy bacon and set aside. Add the garlic, shallots and pepper flakes. Sauté for 1 minute. Do not burn the garlic. Add the shrimp, roasted garlic butter, salt and pepper and sauté until the shrimp turns pink. Once the shrimp turns pink, remove and set aside. In the skillet, add white wine, lemon juice, clam juice, and the crispy bacon bits. Allow the sauce to reduce. Once the pasta is done, drain and add the linguine to the sauce in the skillet and toss with parmesan and parsley.

Blue Is The New Black
Two weeks into the Spring shows, and there are two dominant decades from which designers seem to be culling inspiration, which has had a sweeping impact on backstage beauty looks as well. While New York's collective homage to nineties minimalism gave us the simple, no-makeup makeup that threatened to cast a "contours, not colors" spell over the season when things first got under way earlier in the month, an undercurrent of support for the sixties has meant a renewed focus on last season's eyeliner love, which has been reimagined with a surprising pigment preference: blue. It has come in bright shades of aqua at shows like Clements Ribeiro, where makeup artist Cassie Lomas channeled the "innocent beauty" of Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom with a slick of Bourjois Metallise Eyeliner Pencil in Bleu Clinqiant, and Moschino Cheap And Chic, where Hannah Murray gave psychedelia an "urban kick" by etching MAC Pro's Ultra Chromagraphic Pencil in Marine beneath the lower lash line. "[ Michael Kors] just wanted to do an eye thing," Dick Page explained of his similarly hued "floating lines" at the designer's show, which he drew in a banana shape through the crease. Predictable shades of black got more competition from midnight iterations as well at shows like Mary Katrantzou, where Val Garland fashioned an inky elongated almond line with a blend of MAC Lipmixes in Blue and Red, and perhaps most notably at Altuzarra. "I think it's so chic," Tom Pecheux said of MAC's Technakhol Pencil in Auto-de-blu—"a royal blue," he declared backstage at the designer's show—which he brushed along upper lash lines to a squared-off edge. That right there is endorsement enough for us.

Not scientifically valid. Results are updated every minute.
From Manhattan to Monaco, the world's wealthiest people are disconnecting into a class of stateless transients.
By Sam Pizzigati, guest columnist
Back in 1863, a short story took the American reading public by storm. Edward Everett Hale's, "The Man without a Country" told the tale of a poor treasonous soul sentenced to spend the rest of his life endlessly sailing the world in perpetual exile, as a prisoner aboard Navy warships.
Today's awesomely affluent are just as transient -- by choice.
Letting Greece leave the EU would be a reckless gamble. If Germany refuses to bend, it will be held responsible for whatever happens next.
Greece's elections have confirmed its role as the worst pupil in the euro-area class. But with all respect to Paul Krugman and others, austerity isn't dead: It's now up to Germany to decide whether to ease up or hold firm and watch Greece leave the euro.
The May 6 vote showed clearly that Greeks aren't willing to accept further cuts. Almost 70 percent of voters backed political parties -- from anti-Europeans to neo-fascists -- that oppose sticking to the terms of the two bailouts since May 2010.
There's now a high likelihood the country will miss its next deadlines under the 130 billion euro ($169 billion) program it agreed to in February. That means the European Union and other exasperated international creditors may soon have to decide whether to pull the plug, leaving Greece to default and exit the euro. Economists at Citigroup Inc. say the odds of that happening in the next 18 months are now as high as 75 percent.
In fact, the GOP candidate himself should start arguing explicitly for greater inequality, as does his bold old crony from Bain Capital.
By Michael Kinsley
The people at the New York Times Magazine must think that nobody has ever read Ayn Rand, or maybe even Adam Smith.
Their cover story on Sunday -- misleadingly titled "Are the Rich Worth a Damn?" -- reports breathlessly that there is this fellow named Edward Conard who believes in free-market capitalism and is willing to fill a gap in the argument we've been having about growing income inequality. Until now there hasn't been anyone, or at least anyone still alive, willing to say publicly that what the U.S. needs is more inequality, not less. (Conard has even written a book about "Why Everything You've Been Told About the Economy Is Wrong.")
The argument is basically Smith's, carried to extremes: The invisible hand of free-market capitalism turns individual greed into prosperity for all. But Conard also shares Rand's special twist of portraying the successful businessman as a hero, the Alpha Male at his finest, and everybody else as mediocre deadbeats and leeches.
If inflation tops 2% and unemployment remains high, will the Fed leave interest rates low?
At some point during the recovery, the Fed may face an important decision. If the inflation rate begins to rise above the Fed's 2 percent target and the unemployment rate is still relatively high, will the Fed be willing to leave interest rates low and tolerate a temporary increase in the inflation rate?
Probably not. Even though higher inflation can help to stimulate a depressed economy, Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, is not in favor of allowing higher inflation because it could undermine the Fed's "hard-won inflation credibility." And recent Fed communications seem to be setting the stage for the Fed to abandon its commitment to keep interest rates low through the end of 2014. This adds to the likelihood that the Fed will raise interest rates quickly if inflation begins increasing above the 2 percent target even if the economy has not yet fully recovered.
While the trend is 'a small positive' for the president's re-election prospects, it is likely to be overshadowed by broader economic concerns.
By Mike Dorning
Declining gasoline prices have blunted what only a month ago was one of the leading Republican lines of attack against President Barack Obama.
After an almost uninterrupted rise since mid-January, average national retail gasoline prices have fallen 17 cents since April 4, according to the American Automobile Association. The $3.76 per gallon national average yesterday was 20 cents lower than the same day a year ago.
A plunge in crude oil markets and gasoline futures Monday suggest further easing ahead for prices at the pump.
The comment counters accusations that the former Massachusetts governor is a 'rubber stamp' for policies that hurt the middle class.

Presumed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney returned to his native state of Michigan on Tuesday day to criticize "old school" liberal policies of President Barack Obama that he said have cost the middle class income, jobs and amenities including vacations.
Romney, on a day when three more primary victories moved him closer to officially clinching his party's nomination, said he would champion free enterprise, smaller government and more manufacturing jobs.
With the elections in France and Greece Sunday, both supercharged by debt, deficits, and economic desperation, Europe is about to take a dramatic new direction.
With the elections in France and Greece Sunday, both supercharged by debt, deficits, and economic desperation, Europe is about to take a dramatic new direction.
The eurozone is turning away from stringent austerity policies and toward those that stimulate demand. President-elect Francois Hollande, the first socialist president since Mitterrand, plans to raise taxes on the rich to meet some of his growth objectives. However, without a credible debt reduction plan, Hollande risks a loss of confidence among investors and bondholders.
Many Americans want a smaller public sector, but one of the biggest weaknesses in the economy is the ongoing loss of government jobs.
Americans generally want smaller government, and the lower taxes that go with it. They're starting to get their wish—but it spells trouble for the broader economy.
The latest jobs data shows that the private sector added 130,000 jobs in April, while the government sector lost 15,000, for a net gain of 115,000 jobs. The longer-term trend is more stark. Since the start of 2011, the private sector has added 2.8 million jobs, while government has shed 280,000 jobs.

Instagram: it does for photos what suits do for men.
If you like photography and have an iPhone you need to download Instagram right now.
Once done, you may continue reading.
Instagram is currently the hottest "it" app in the saturated world of photo sharing. Word even surfaced last week that Facebook made an attempt to buy Instagram and failed. Not surprising seeing as the beloved app, which launched in October 2010, has already racked up 7 million users and over 150 million photos. That's… a lot.
It followed the basic recipe for start-up success:
1- Two co-founders
2- Wacky name
3- Absolutely no business model.
So, what does the app do? It takes a photos, applies one of several filters and allows for easy instant sharing across social networks. Users can add comments, tag locations and "like". The magic comes from its ease of use and the gorgeous filters. It re-formats the photos into square images (as opposed to the iPhone's traditional 2:3 ratio) and definitely borrows inspiration from the Polaroid era.
It can transform the simplest photo into a piece of art infused with nostalgia, emotional connectedness and mega hipster appeal. Allow me to demonstrate:
It's kind of like men and suits. Take the ugliest man, put him in a suit, and he will look good.
The company was developed by co-founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, and it only recently welcomed a 5th person to its svelte 4 member team. They also didn't receive any major funding ($7 million) until February 2011. It's the type of growth rate, leanness and VC interest a start-up can only dream of.
The website is minimal to say the least and the app's viral growth has been primarily fueled by user interest and word of mouth. It's proof that sometimes a great product can literally sell itself (not to be confused with making money, as the revenue model is still a major TBD).
Of course, where users flock, brands follow and Instagram is no exception. Many companies have hopped on the bandwagon amassing a decent number of followers including Red Bull, Kate Spade, Gucci, NPR, Jamie Oliver, Playboy and Starbucks. (Ah…Starbucks. It's the Midas of social networking services. Whatever it touches turns to gold).
Instagram has also been used during major world events en mass. For example, it has chronicled Hurricane Irene and the riots in England. It's more than just pretty filters (because there are a lot more advanced photo apps out there) – it's a tool that has successfully been able to combine functionality, design and emotion.
It's a modern app that brilliantly portrays the old adage of "a picture is worth a thousand words".
I'm curious to see what the next steps for Instagram are going to be. There is a lot of speculation ranging from the obvious (an Android version) to the more complex (a web interface). Of course they can easily roll out tons of additional features which exist in other photo-sharing apps, whether it's adding more filters or effects, superimposing text or sounds, making slideshows or videos, or creating a blog-ish interface like Tumblr or Posterous….BUT one of the best things about Instagram is its simplicity so it will be tricky. (How does one "grow" a product without making it more complicated?)
However one thing is for sure: they will have to monetize, and I hope not with banner ads. Maybe some "sponsored" filters (Skittles Double Rainbow!), premium filters, premium accounts (for brands and businesses), or charging developers building 3rd party apps for the Instragram API. Many are using it already.
Another great thing about Instagram it that it's a perfect example of why I love apps: it allows anybody to do anything, in under 5 seconds. Before if you wanted to manipulate photos digitally, edit a home video, record a song, doodle a comic strip, or cook a steak to perfection it took TIME, SKILL and EFFORT. None of these are requirements anymore.
I admit that this kind of weird. It's not just instant gratification at the "where is the nearest Ikea?" level, but in an emotional "wow, look at that" way. It's almost as if the idea of "art" is evolving because anybody can do it so easily now (using apps of course). Maybe the new art is developing the apps that do the art. Developers are the new artists. Code is the new paint. Screens are the new canvases. It's beautiful and you guys are talented.
Anyway. Neat app. Long live Instagram. I'd rather juggle several apps that do one thing well than a monster who tries to do everything. Foursquare won the check-in war, and my bets are on Instagram for the photo one.

Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic and onion until tender, about 2 minutes. Add cumin and chili powder; stir and remove from heat.
In a food processor, pulse beans until chopped. Add onion mixture and 1/4 cup water and pulse to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in parsley.
Dip can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
this dip was okay...but after a little tweaking, it was great! I added 1/8 cup water (instead of 1/4 cup), a tsp. of chili powder and a couple shakes of hot red pepper chili flakes (for a little heat). I also added the juice of one lime wedge, and seasoned well with salt & pepper. I would definitely consider making a double batch in the future though, 1 1/2 cups goes quickly! And, as someone else said...it's definitely best with celery :)Reply
I made this dip without the addition of the 1/4 of water and really liked the thick consistency. We tried the dip with a variety of veggies...but just as the recipe suggests, it is best with celery.Reply

"Drive sober or get pulled over"
Law enforcement ready for annual National Holiday Lifesaver Weekend
Dec 18, 2012
Oregon State Police, Oregon State Sheriffs' Association and Oregon Association Chiefs of Police releaseed a statement today urging everyone tokeep the roads safe Christmas holiday while also remembering those affected by an impaired driver whenever you see headlights on vehicles during daytime hours Friday.
Every year since 1991 on the weekend preceding Christmas, the International Association of Chiefs of Police have organized "National Holiday Lifesaver Weekend," an effort to heighten public awareness and increase the apprehension of drivers under the influence. Motorists are asked to turn on their headlights Friday, December 21, for "National Lights on for Life" day, in remembrance of those who have been affected by an impaired driver.
OSP and local law enforcement partners are patrolling under the "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" crackdown from Dec. 12 to Jan. 1, 2013. This Friday through Christmas, police officers will step up efforts for "National Holiday Lifesaver Weekend."
Last year, in Oregon during the Christmas holiday 78-hour reporting period, two people died in 2 separate fatal traffic crashes on Oregon roads. OSP troopers reported 50 DUII arrests during the "National Holiday Lifesaver Weekend" and 28 DUII arrests during Christmas. More than half of last year's DUII arrests by OSP troopers during the Christmas holiday reporting period occurred Christmas Eve, December 24.
"No one ever thinks that their holiday celebration will be anything but joyous," said OSP Captain Ted Phillips, Patrol Services Division director. "But for those who include alcohol with their celebrations and extend it onto the road behind the wheel of a vehicle, their joy tragically could change to sorrow for them and their loved ones."
This year's holiday enforcement campaign is supported by more than $7 million in national TV and radio advertising featuring the "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign.
OSP, OSSA, OACP and ODOT offer these simple but important safety tips:
* Plan ahead. If you are planning to drink, plan ahead: volunteer to be a designated driver, designate a sober driver or arrange for a taxi to pick you up at a set time.
* Be responsible. If you are hosting a party, offer plenty of non-alcoholic beverages and help your guests be responsible. Don't let someone who has been drinking get behind the wheel.
* Walking or bicycling after dark? Wear bright clothes to help you stand out.
* Buckle up, every trip, every time.
* Drive defensively at all times.
Report impaired drivers by calling 9-1-1 or OSP at 1-800-24DRUNK (1-800-243-7865).
OSP and ODOT also urge travelers to "Know Before You Go", monitoring media reports for weather forecasts and keeping up-to-date on road conditions at www.TripCheck.com. In addition to road and weather conditions, winter driving safety information and tips are also there to help keep you informed and safe on our roads.
More information regarding impaired driving and nationwide enforcement crackdown efforts is available on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website at: http://www.nhtsa.gov/Impaired

Businessweek wrote a great article about this topic. http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-04-11/disruption-junction-the-internets-vulnerable-undersea-cables#r=auth-s
Intrigue Surrounds SMW4 Cut
It has been a rough few weeks for the global Internet, given numerous submarine cable failures and the largest DDOS attack ever reported. While we're hard-pressed to find evidence of the purported global Internet slowdown due to the DDOS attack, the dramatic impacts of yesterday's SMW4 submarine cable cut were profound. Recent reports that the cable break was the result of sabotage make the incident even more intriguing. In this blog, we detail what happened to some of the providers in four countries along the route of the cable: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and India.
Impacts of the loss of SeaMeWe-4
This month's submarine cable outages have profoundly degraded connectivity to the Middle East, Asia and Africa. In particular, last week's EASSy and SEACOM outages wiped out connectivity in parts of East Africa from Djibouti to South Africa. As if that weren't bad enough, the biggest submarine cable connecting Europe and Asia, SeaMeWe-4, suffered a failure at 6:20 UTC, 27 March.
Later in the day, the Egyptian Naval forces claimed that they had caught divers sabotaging a submarine cable off the coast of Alexandria, Egypt. In any event, SMW4 clearly suffered a major failure, and as we will see below, caused widespread disruption of Internet services from Egypt to Pakistan.
These plots of latency measurements below show that westbound transit to Europe for many of these providers was either degraded or unavailable due to the SMW4 cut off the coast of Alexandria, Egypt. These providers fell back on eastbound transit through the Far East, but these backup paths weren't always up to carrying the load.
Immediately following the cut (marked with a red line), Egyptian incumbent, Telecom Egypt, experienced a brief disruption in Internet transit followed by a reshuffling of its transit providers as it lost service from Level3 and NTT.
The loss of service from Level3 and NTT and gain of eastbound providers Bharti and Singapore Telecom (SingTel) is much clearer when the same data is viewed as a stacked graph of counts of traceroutes crossing through various providers into TE's network:
Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabian incumbent, Saudi Telecom (STC), experienced dramatic increases in latencies to Europe as traffic shifted away from the severed submarine cable.
Headed the other direction from Saudi Arabia to Hong Kong, the cut caused STC to reshuffle its transit, but without the dramatic rises in latencies.
UAE (added 2 April)
As was the case with other Middle Eastern providers, Etisalat experienced a dramatic shift in traffic from Europe and the west, but less so from the east.
Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company also known by its retail name, "Du", appears to have weathered the cable cut without significant disruptions to either the west or the east.
The impact of the SMW4 cut on the Pakistani Internet has been severe, as reported by the Pakistani media.
Pakistani incumbent, PTCL, was already struggling due to the recent loss of another major submarine cable. The graph on the left shows that latencies from Frankfurt to PTCL went through the roof as traffic was re-routed around the world to get to Pakistan. From Singapore, (on the right) there was a minor disturbance, but not nearly as crippling as for westbound traffic.
For Pakistan's other international gateway, Transworld, the impacts were severe when connecting to both the west and the east.
With the loss of SMW4, India-based Bharti lost its main route to the west. Delays for Internet traffic coming from western Europe spiked. From the east, things were fine.
Like Bharti, Vodafone India experienced dramatic increases in latencies for connections to and through Europe.
When connecting through the East, Vodafone India was largely stable. In fact, from Los Angeles, latencies improved slightly as traffic from LA was allowed to go a slightly shorter (and presumably more expensive) path across the Pacific Ocean instead of the Atlantic to get to India.
For me, one of the takeaways from the above analysis is that many of these providers have carefully engineered geographic diversity into their submarine cable strategy. However, the backup paths don't always deliver relief. In Pakistan, for example, the loss of westbound transit has virtually crippled the Internet despite the fact that eastbound routes stayed up. It is almost the mirror image of the impact on Bangladesh in last year's SMW4 cable cut near Singapore. In that case, Bangladesh lost eastbound transit due to the cable cut and the westbound backup just didn't have the bandwidth to handle the load, leaving the country essentially cut off.
Finally, I'll be giving a talk next month in Paris about visualizing the impacts of submarine cable breaks such as yesterday's SMW4 cut at Suboptic 2013, the world's largest conference about the submarine cable business. We obviously have a lot more to discuss now as an industry. If you are attending, please stop by and introduce yourself.
ok issue is back , seems that the isp was testing to see if lines we're good but it was alright dunno why they reswitched them back to the old lines and routings ...
now im pinging 120ms to Europe , 120 to 150 basically , pings are now better in Abu Dhabi , theirs diffrent ip's u get assigned from etisalat , ips that start with 217.164 or 86.96 or 92.99 or 94.59 and others.... , anyways the ones thats giving me now good pings to europe is 86.96 i will disconnect my modem now to get another ip base assigned from etisalat , it will probably be from another routing exchange server from our backbone , but il give u results if they are all fixed or not
Look over your right shoulder... ;-)
Yes, if look to the analysis above, Du has fared much better than Etisalat in this particular incident.
Yes am trying to get in connection with one of Blizzard's Servers. Now am scared that you would know my current location :p.

Also according to your experience , how long might it take for the SMW4 to be fixed , like a guess would be cool ( i wont go and state it any social media sites , just for personal reference). Thank you for your time !
Hey Abdulla, We're all wondering here - are you trying to play Starcraft 2 or Diablo 3? :-)
As your traceroute shows, Etisalat is handing off to Tata which is taking it the long way around the world. Etisalat is using eastern routes to Singtel, NTT and Tata to route traffic that was previously going over western routes to Telia, Level3, Savvis and Telecom Italia. Etisalat lost those connections when the SMW4 cable was cut. So it doesn't surprise me it is traveling around the world. Etisalat is correct is stating generically that connectivity has been re-established, but they should pursue Tata as to why they take your traffic the long way around the world.
I also forgot to thank you for the fast reply , Sorry for being ignorant. Thank you very much , as you enlightened us with the actual problem while our ISP is pretty much ignoring us and stating that there is no problems in the connection.
Here is the route : Tracing route to 213-155-152-66.customer.teliacarrier.com [18.104.22.168] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1
Hi Abdulla, Would you be willing to post an example traceroute here? I would be happy to help interpret it for you and compare it against our data.
Very informative analysis , My ISP Etisalat is claiming that everything is alright ? Do you think that they are stating something correct ? As i am experiencing huge pings when connecting to European servers. Furthermore , the current way we are connected to Europe is routed towards US before reaching London. Please help me with an answer that i can answer to many of us suffering from connection problems with European servers.
I'm afraid that I don't know the status of the repair. I am also not aware of any public resource that would answer your question about the progress of repairs.
Very informative! Do you know anything about the repairwork going on? There is nothing online!
Hi Abu, Thanks for the question. We have seen no evidence to suggest that any of these terrestrial initiatives are currently carrying traffic.
Egypt has become the biggest single point of failure in the world. Most of the cables are now landing in Abu Talaat and Zafarana. If terrorists take out one of these cable landing stations, there could be a massive disaster as the entire Middle East, Asia and Africa will almost go down. Hopefully after this event, the carriers will focus more on restoration which for the most part has been an afterthought. This is my writeup on the Egypt situation: http://blog.buysellbandwidth.com/major-cable-outages-north-of-egypt/
Thanks for such a precise and comprehensive analysis. The Arabs have taken numerous terrestrial initiatives (JADI, RCN and EPEG) to combat such crisis. Are these terrestrial links carrying any traffic? How about the Qatar-led GBI adding resilience to its Europe-bound undersea system by deploying a terrestrial link across Iraq?
Interesting. The question really is cui bono; and I'm really finding it hard to find a reason for a political group to want to cut the cable (although perhaps Egypt's Salafists are the right kind of nuts!). Perhaps the operators got what they thought was a junk blackmail demand, and these guys were trying to make good?
Thank you so much. This was very informative.

I bought this assuming it was a shiny gold-tone. It's impossible to tell from the picture on the website. I was VERY disappointed when I saw the box and it said powder coated because that means DULL. I think the description should include this information. I was really looking forward to getting this and now I'm not even sure I'm going to assemble it - it's that ugly...

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Police are looking for a second suspect in the robbery of a Salvation Army donation can from a Sioux Falls convenience store.
Officer Sam Clemens says a man and woman were trying to break into the can when police found them on West 10th Street early Saturday morning.
As police approached the pair, the woman told her partner to run. Clemens says the woman was pushing the officer, trying to keep him away from the guy and still telling him to run. So the officer arrested her for obstruction and she kicked the officer. He also charged her for resisiting arrest. During the scuffle the man ran away.
Clemens says 27-year-old Kristin Marie Moller was also arrested for intentional damage to property for trying to break open the donation can.
Police know who the male suspect is but he hasn't been found.

Why take the pledge?
Far too many Black youth continue to be demonized, criminalized and murdered.
Enough is enough!
In response to this intensifying crisis, the Black Youth Project (BYP) has launched "The Pledge."
With "The Pledge," we are asking individuals and organizations to close ranks around black youth and make a commitment to take action and fight with black youth as they confront a relentless crisis. We at the BYP believe that each person can make a difference by doing something!
By taking The Pledge we not only articulate our concern about black youth, but symbolically unite our voices with others who will work to confront this crisis.
If we each take action, whether it is starting a group, signing a petition, or mentoring a young person in your neighborhood, then we all become a part of the solution.
Stand With Black Youth!

Publication: The Day
New London - The school district's special master had a "frank conversation" with members of the Board of Education on Thursday, telling them that if they have a better alternative for the city's future than the all-magnet school district, they needed to propose it.
"If you want to explore another opportunity, we need to know what that is now," Steven Adamowski said.
As the board works to complete its Strategic Operating Plan - a condition of state intervention in the school district - it must first decide which direction to take the district in. New London is the only school district in the state with the legislative authority to create an all-magnet school district.
"This is a decision that only you can make in order for the Strategic Operating Plan to go forward and be complete," Adamowski said. "If we dance around these issues and we're not specific about them from the start, we're going to have all kinds of problems in our strategies and implementation steps."
An all-magnet school district promises additional funding to the city in the form of about $9 million from the state, and Adamowski said he was confident in the state's ability to make good on the funding promise.
But board members continued to ask what their other options are.
"We have to look at all the other possible avenues. We need to consider what's going to affect the students," board member Delanna Muse said.
Board member Barbara Major said she would like to know what kind of magnet school would be the best model for the city.
The city currently has two magnet schools - the Science and Technology Magnet High School and Winthrop Magnet Elementary School - both of which have a science, technology, engineering and math emphasis.
The new Nathan Hale School is scheduled to open next year.
Jennings Elementary School has a dual-language and foreign-language theme but is not currently a designated magnet school.
An all-magnet school district could affect the grade configurations at Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School, currently a sixth- through eighth-grade school. Adamowski said the middle school could also be converted into three middle school academies that link to magnet school themes at the elementary and high school levels.
There are three kinds of schools allowed by law in Connecticut, Adamowski said: charter schools, magnet schools and district-operated schools, which is the city's current model.
"We're looking for an alternative that will stabilize the financial support of the schools, and frankly, an alternative that will create a greater state share in financing the New London schools," Adamowski said.

34 Iowa criminals currently sit in prison cells who, once sentenced to life in prison as juveniles, can file for the possibility of parole.
In 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled sending a juvenile to life in prison without the possibility of parole is unconstitutional. Gov. Branstad then commuted those life sentences to 60 years in prison. 2012, however, brought the Iowa Supreme Court to rule 60 years as still unconstitutional.
"Because of the nature of the crimes that these individuals have committed, it has a very serious impact on the criminal justice system," said Black Hawk County Attorney Tom Ferguson.
The ripple effect of these two court rulings extends past those just sitting in prison cells. Karen Salisbury was murdered in her Evansdale home in 1998. 17-year-old Matthew Payne was charged with the killing; a first-degree murder charge that, back then, sent him to spend the rest of his life in prison.
Salisbury's three daughters – Rhonda Hoffman, Marsha DeWiese and Vicky Bolin - said they wrestled with those 1998 images of their mother's death for years. Now – they must relive the nightmare. Payne, along with the other 33 Iowa criminals, can file to correct a now illegal sentence, hoping for parole.
"I don't ever want to have to go into the grocery store or somewhere and run into him," Hoffman said.
Attorneys said parole, however, is not guaranteed. A judge could grant the possibility of parole, or not at all. Nevertheless, these parole hearings are annual; potentially bringing families back to the court room year after year.
"Every year if that comes up every year I will be there and I will make sure they hear my voice and they don't let him out," Bolin said.
The daughters said the possibility of parole for Payne is extremely concerning for them; a thought that is nearly unbearable.
"What good are they in this society when they've been in prison for so long and know nothing else," DeWiese said.
Hoffman said if Payne is ever granted parole, she hopes she never has to see him.
"Don't come back to Waterloo, I'd go somewhere else."
Black Hawk County Attorney Tom Ferguson said Matthew Payne has filed to correct his illegal sentence, but a date for the re-sentence hasn't been set yet.
KWWL reached out to Payne's Attorney, Michael Adams, and also Fort Dodge Correctional Facility requesting an interview with Payne. Payne declined to interview for this story.

"May you have a strong foundation for when those winds of change shift"… Bob Dylan
Along the way, I have learned a few lessons in life, especially on embracing change--Change before change changes you, keep evolving or you soon, will be dissolving.
In the next six months, we will be opening two new locations; one in December, the other in early Spring 2014. While this exciting news will provide great opportunities for my team and their professional growth, there are some who may view this change as a challenge, seeing this expansion as unwanted change, which in turn may cause some resistance.
Here are some of the lessons I have learned as we have changed and evolved…
Team Before Individual: The growth of the team always comes before the entitlement of one. Within your team, you are going to expect more, so be prepared to provide more. There may be some attrition within your team, as they may not want to be part of this new growth, wish them and their future employers well. Expect some internal team dynamic shifts, as you may be giving more responsibilities to your junior team and bypassing some of your seniors. Please think this through and educate your seniors as to why some may be sidelined. Accept this type of change as part of taking a few steps back to regroup, to then take one great leap forward. You need and want to surround yourself with a strong team that enjoys new challenges. A team that understands that raising the bar and providing a better experience is the ultimate goal.
Communication: Always crucial, especially when going through times of major change or growth. The unknown brings fear and stops your team from taking ownership. Work strongly with your department heads and encourage them to be open with their teams. Even the ones closest to you might show concern… listen to their questions, explain that we are in unchartered territory. Explain that mistakes will occur, which in hindsight will end up being valuable lessons. So it is not the screw ups, but how we learn and adjust from them, that will enable new growth. Embrace failure as part of your growth.
Keep the Brand Strong: As you grow and change, be careful to not dilute the brand. It is important that the team can "step it up" and maintain, or even better, enhance the level of the experience. Choose your new locations strategically so that you are not competing with yourself. For us, we are opening in new resort areas and high end hotels, new locations that will require different types of services and pricing from what we currently deliver. This means we will not directly be competing or diluting our brand, while instead hopefully expanding and strengthening the brand.


text: Posted Online: Dec. 06, 2012, 10:27 pm Prelude to the Heisman? T'eo grabs three honors Comment on this story LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — From Notre Dame's unbeaten regular season to college football's biggest awards, Manti Te'o just keeps winning. Now the linebacker needs two more victories to cap an unforgettable senior season. Te'o was honored three times at the 22nd Home Depot College Football Awards show Thursday night at Disney World, including the Maxwell Award for the nation's most outstanding player. Te'o has now won six major awards since the end of Notre Dame's regular season, also taking home the Bednarik Award for top defensive player and Walter Camp Foundation player of the year award on Thursday. He became the first defensive player to win the Maxwell Award since 1980, ending a string of nine straight quarterbacks. Next up is the Heisman Trophy ceremony on Saturday night, with Te'o and Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel considered the favorites. Then Te'o will try to help the Fighting Irish dethrone defending champion Alabama in the BCS national championship game. "I'm at a loss for words," he said of winning the Maxwell. "The last time I ever dreamt of winning that award was on a video game. So to win it is a mind-blowing experience." Wearing a black beaded lei representing his native Hawaii, Te'o said coming back to play football following the deaths of his grandmother and girlfriend just four days apart this season makes everything he's achieved since then more worthwhile. Te'o finished the regular season with 103 tackles and seven interceptions. Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly was presented with the Coach of the Year award after leading the Irish to their first 12-0 regular season since 1988. While Te'o and Notre Dame certainly had a big night, so too did Texas A&M. Manziel won the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award and junior offensive lineman Luke Joeckel took home the Outland Trophy for the nation's best interior lineman. Other players honored Thursday were Southern California's Marqise Lee (Biletnikoff Award for top receiver), Tulane's Cairo Santos (Lou Groza Award for top kicker), Louisiana Tech's Ryan Allen (Ray Guy Award for top punter), Mississippi State's Johnthan Banks (Jim Thorpe Award for top defensive back), and Wisconsin's Montee Ball (Doak Walker Award for top running back).

Could the right go green?
People tend to think of morality along one dimension: good versus bad. But recent scholarship by Jonathan Haidt and others has identified that there can be multiple moral values commanding our attention—namely "harm/care," "fairness/reciprocity," "in-group/loyalty," "authority/respect," and "purity/sanctity"—and has shown that liberals are more focused on harm/care while conservatives are more focused on the others. A new study applies this moral framework to environmental politics and reveals that conservatives aren't necessarily more opposed to environmental action; it depends how that action is framed. While the study confirmed that liberals see the environment as more of a moral issue and that the predominant framing of pro-environment messages in the media is based on harm/care rhetoric, the study also found that exposing conservatives to a purity/sanctity framing—focusing on pollution and contamination—caused them to feel more disgust and adopt more pro-environment attitudes, including support for pro-environment legislation and belief in global warming.

Rafe Hardy prepares his model prior to an October photo shoot with MODERN SALON. The final results can be seen in the JANUARY issue of MODERN SALON.
Out of the creative brain and nimble fingers of Sexy Hair Artistic Director Rafe Hardy and his right hand, Sexy Hair Artist and Educator Nadirah Volpe, a beautiful shoot emerged. A crack team of artists, along with in-demand fashion and beauty photographer Robert Lynden, collaborated on a seamless story of tri-texture on long hair. The final results can be viewed in the January issue of MODERN SALON.
"On the Red Carpet right now, you'll see those classic movie-star waves but then they'll take a three strand braid and pull it across the front. They're adding texture as a visual point of interest, " says Hardy. This blending of trends is what inspired him; long-haired models emerged with intense texture offset by the counter-point of a crimp or a braided headband. Hardy and Volpe conceived these looks as a way for stylists to offer versatility to long-haired styles without cutting.
"Coming from an education background, I want to give something that the stylist can believe in and they feel like they can attempt and they don't have to translate it," said Hardy. "Once you get a good set in there and you have that good foundation, versatility becomes much easier. You can wear the hair so many different ways. You can do first day, then expand the texture on the second day and on the third day, pin it up."
Rafe Hardy (far left) and Nadira Volpe start the prep work on their models.
ADVICE TO SALON PROFESSIONALS: "You better practice your braiding skills. Every stylist should know how to braid so they can easily show variations to their consumers. At least be proficient in a Fishtail, three-strand, and French Braid."—Rafe Hardy
"You want to use a minimal amount of product especially if you plan on doing more than one look. You want to layer the product on there. The Sexy Hair Soy Touchable gives you a hairspray hold without a hairspray feel. You can break it up really nicely."-- Rafe Hardy
ON THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER PRIOR TO A PHOTO SHOOT: "Practice, practice, practice. Before you do a photo shoot you want to know the results you're going to get with no surprises. It's more of preparing and collaborating with everyone. You want to know not just about the hair but about the entire shoot."—Rafe Hardy

DEARBORN, Mich. — Hundreds of people, including some of Michigan's political elite, gathered Monday to celebrate the late Rosa Parks on what would have been her 100th birthday by unveiling a postage stamp in her honor steps from the Alabama bus on which she stared down segregation nearly 60 years ago.
Parks, who died in 2005, became one of the enduring figures of the civil rights movement when she refused to cede her seat in the colored section of the Montgomery, Ala., bus to a white man after the whites-only section filled up. Her defiance and the ensuing black boycott of the city bus system helped the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. rise to national prominence.
