Book Description
When Vladimir Nabokov died in 1977, he left instructions for his heirs to burn the 138 handwritten index cards that made up the rough draft of his final and unfinished novel, The Original of Laura. But Nabokov's wife, Vera, could not bear to destroy her husband's last work, and when she died, the fate of the manuscript fell to her son. Dmitri Nabokov, now seventy-five--the Russian novelist's only surviving heir, and translator of many of his books--has wrestled for three decades with the decision of whether to honor his father's wish or preserve for posterity the last piece of writing of one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. His decision finally to allow publication of the fragmented narrative--dark yet playful, preoccupied with mortality--affords us one last experience of Nabokov's magnificent creativity, the quintessence of his unparalleled body of work.
Photos of the handwritten index cards accompany the text. They are perforated and can be removed and rearranged, as the author likely did when he was writing the novel.

|The Original of Laura (Open)
Before Nabokov's death in 1977, he instructed his wife to burn the unfinished first draft—handwritten on 138 index cards—of what would be his final novel. She did not, and now Nabokov's son, Dmitri, is releasing them to the world, though after reading the book, readers will wonder if the Lolita author is laughing or turning over in his grave.This very unfinished work reads largely like an outline, full of seeming notes-to-self, references to source material, sentence fragments, commentary and brief flashes of spectacular prose. It would be a mistake for readers to come to this expecting anything resembling a novel, though the few actual scenes here are unmistakably Nabokovian, with cutting wordplay, piercing description and uneasy-making situations—a character named Hubert H. Hubert molesting a girl, a decaying old man's strained attempt at perfunctory sex with his younger wife. The story appears to be about a woman named Flora (spelled, once, as FLaura), who has Lolita-like moments in her childhood and is later the subject of a scandalous novel, Laura, written by a former lover. Mostly, this amounts to a peek inside the author's process and mindset as he neared death. Indeed, mortality, suicide, impotence, a disgust with the male human body—and an appreciation of the fit, young female body—figure prominently. Nabokov's handwritten index cards are reproduced with a transcription below of each card's contents, generally less than a paragraph. The scanned index cards (perforated so that they can be removed from the book) are what make this book an amazing document; they reveal Nabokov's neat handwriting and his own edits to the text: some lines are blacked out with scribbles, others simply crossed out. Words are inserted, typesetting notes and copyedit symbols pepper the writing, and the reverse of many cards bears a wobbly X. Depending on the reader's eye, the final card is either haunting or the great writer's final sly wink: it's a list of synonyms for efface—expunge, erase, delete, rub out, wipe out and, finally, obliterate.

Effect of Supplemental Vitamin E for the Prevention and Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease
ABSTRACT To evaluate and synthesize the evidence on the effect of supplements of vitamin E on the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
Systematic review of placebo-controlled randomized controlled trials; meta-analysis where justified.
Eighty-four eligible trials were identified. For the outcomes of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, fatal or nonfatal myocardial infarction, and blood lipids, neither supplements of vitamin E alone nor vitamin E given with other agents yielded a statistically significant beneficial or adverse pooled relative risk (for example, pooled relative risk of vitamin E alone = 0.96 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.84 to 1.10]; 0.97 [95% CI, 0.80 to 1.90]; and 0.72 [95% CI, 0.51 to 1.02] for all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and nonfatal myocardial infarction, respectively.
There is good evidence that vitamin E supplementation does not beneficially or adversely affect cardiovascular outcomes.

- "The analysis of our secondary outcomes revealed a tendency but no significant improvement in HOMA-IR, postprandial glucose and blood pressure in the vitamin E group compared with controls. In addition, vitamin E supplementation had no significant effect on lipid metabolism, which was consistent with the findings of an earlier meta-analysis by Shekelle PG [43]. "
Article: Influence of Vitamin E Supplementation on Glycaemic Control: A Meta-Analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Observational studies have revealed that higher serum vitamin E concentrations and increased vitamin E intake and vitamin E supplementation are associated with beneficial effects on glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, whether vitamin E supplementation exerts a definitive effect on glycaemic control remains unclear. This article involves a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials of vitamin E to better characterise its impact on HbA1c, fasting glucose and fasting insulin. PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library were electronically searched from the earliest possible date through April 2013 for all relevant studies. Weighted mean difference (WMD) was calculated for net changes using fixed-effects or random-effects models. Standard methods for assessing statistical heterogeneity and publication bias were used. Fourteen randomised controlled trials involving individual data on 714 subjects were collected in this meta-analysis. Increased vitamin E supplementation did not result in significant benefits in glycaemic control as measured by reductions in HbA1c, fasting glucose and fasting insulin. Subgroup analyses revealed a significant reduction in HbA1c (-0.58%, 95% CI -0.83 to -0.34) and fasting insulin (-9.0 pmol/l, 95% CI -15.90 to -2.10) compared with controls in patients with low baseline vitamin E status. Subgroup analyses also demonstrated that the outcomes may have been influenced by the vitamin E dosage, study duration, ethnic group, serum HbA1c concentration, and fasting glucose control status. In conclusion, there is currently insufficient evidence to support a potential beneficial effect of vitamin E supplementation on improvements of HbA1c and fasting glucose and insulin concentrations in subjects with T2DM.PLoS ONE 04/2014; 9(4):e95008.

- "Nevertheless, clinical trials failed to support the role of vitamin E supplementation in preventing CVD [131]. Subsequent meta-analyses and systematic reviews of more than 90 trials showed similar null results [132, 133]. Most recently, a dose-response meta-analysis showed increased risk of high-dose vitamin E (≥400 IU/day) on total mortality [17]. "
ABSTRACT: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is now the leading cause of death globally and is a growing health concern. Dietary factors are important in the pathogenesis of CVD and may to a large degree determine CVD risk, but have been less extensively investigated. Functional foods are those that are thought to have physiological benefits and/or reduce the risk of chronic disease beyond their basic nutritional functions. The food industry has started to market products labelled as "functional foods." Although many review articles have focused on individual dietary variables as determinants of CVD that can be modified to reduce the risk of CVD, the aim of this current paper was to examine the impact of functional foods in relation to the development and progression of CVD. Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated the association between certain dietary patterns and cardiovascular health. Research into the cardio-protective potential of their dietary components might support the development of functional foods and nutraceuticals. This paper will also compare the effect of individual bioactive dietary compounds with the effect of some dietary patterns in terms of their cardiovascular protection.Journal of nutrition and metabolism 04/2012; 2012(12):569486.

- "Moreover, cross-sectional studies indicated that supplementation of low molecular weight antioxidants is associated with a relatively low incidence of CVD (Jha et al., 1995). By contrast, in most of the interventional studies the antioxidant supplementation did not prevent the progression of CVD nor did it improve any of the many clinical endpoints (Shekelle et al., 2004; Vivekananthan et al., 2003; Miller 2005; Bjelakovic, 2007; Dotan, 2009a; Dotan, 2009b). Based on these findings, Witztum (Witztum, 1998) and Morrow (Morrow, 2003) hypothesized that only individuals under oxidative stress may benefit from antioxidant supplementation. "

/ News
WHEN museum staff stuck pairs of glasses on Oxford University's famous stone emperor heads they could see what was going to happen.
They knew it was only a question of time before students played a prank and pinched the wooden glasses from the heads of two emperors.
Now staff at the Museum of the History of Science in Broad Street are appealing for the specs, used to advertise the attraction's Geek is Good exhibition, to be returned.
Admin assistant Olivia Thorton, 39, said: "Our technician Owen Shaw made the wooden glasses to fit the emperors' heads outside the entrance.
"They were taken about a week ago and someone must have used a ladder to climb up and get them.
"We suspect it was a student prank and won't be pressing charges – we haven't reported this to police – but we would like to get the glasses back."
Scott Billings, exhibitions assistant, added: "This could have been students, but I suppose anyone could have come in under cover of darkness and whipped away the giant spectacles.
"The glasses were about 1ft tall so they fitted the emperors' heads."
In 2009, students put gags made of red bedsheets on the giant heads outside the Sheldonian Theatre to protest against controversial plans for a new immigration centre near Bicester.
The protest aimed to symbolise the way detainees were "being silenced".
In 2007, Oxford novelist Roma Tearne blindfolded four of the stone emperor heads outside the Museum of the History of Science, next to the Sheldonian, to publicise her artwork.
There are 13 statues outside the Sheldonian itself, which were erected when it was built between 1662 to 1668.
The Geek is Good exhibition, which celebrates the latest developments in science and technology, runs until September 28.
If you have seen the glasses, or have any other information, give our newdesk a call on 01865 425405.

MAALOULA, SYRIA (Catholic Online) - During his general audience on Wednesday, December 4, 2013, Pope Francis called the 60,000 pilgrims gathered in St. Peters square and Christians around the world to prayer for the freedom of the Orthodox nuns of the convent of St Thekla in Maaluola.
They were kidnapped by violent Jihadists.
The monastery is in Maaloula, which means "entrance" in Arimaic. It is a vital Christian stronghold in this ancient land with a profound Christian history. It is named after St. Thekla, a disciple of St. Paul who faced a heroic and miraculous martyrdom. These twelve women bring honor to her memory and carry forward the witness to the Gospel in this land ravaged by violence. Pope Francis asked us to " Pray for these sisters and for all the people who have been kidnapped as a result of the ongoing conflict. We must continue to pray and work together for peace, entrusting ourselves to Mary". Maronite Bishop Samir Mazloum asked in an interview with the European press, What fault is it of the nuns and the innocent civilians to become victims and turn into hostages?"Nuns spend their time praying. They do not fight or carry guns." The Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Syria, Youhanna X Yazigi, urged the Jihadist militia Jabhat al-Nusra to return the nuns from St Thekla monastery. He also asked for help from the international community. We appeal to the seed of conscience that God planted in all humans, including the kidnappers, to release our sisters safely. We call upon the international community and world governments to [help secure the] release the nuns of the St Tecla convent.
The Patriarch also indicated that orphans in the foster care of the nuns had also been abducted. When Pope Francis called for a day of prayer and fasting to stop the possible strike against Syria last September, I urged our readers around the globe to stand in solidarity with Pope Francis, the Bishop of Rome, the servant of the servants of God - and all who stand with us - beginning right now in praying for the intervention of heaven. Let us heed the invitation coming from Rome and join in this historic event on Saturday, September 7, 2013. I was deeply moved by his message and his manner during that crisis. he is a true peacemaker and a man who understands the true power of prayer. The one hundred thousand gathered in St Peters Square pleading for God's intervention opened my eyes to see what is really necessary in this time of global travail. There is no more powerful force on earth than the prayer of the Church of Jesus Christ. In fact, we all know what happened. The strike was averted.
So, once again, I ask our readers around the globe to listen to this appeal from Pope Francis. Pray for the release of these twelve nuns.Make it a part of your daily prayer. Believe that God hears these prayers, because he does. We regularly cover the plight of Christians in Syria and will continue to do so. That is because they are our brothers and sisters. We are called to "bear one another's burdens and fulfill the law of Christ." (Gal. 6:2) As we evaluate the various conflicts in the Middle East it is vitally important to be informed by news sources which paint the full picture of what is happening. Christians preceded Muslims in calling Syria their home. They must not be forced to leave this ancient and holy land. We are living in a new missionary age and there is a growing persecution of the Church on a global scale. It has different faces. However, we must not forget what lies at the root of this horror. Whether in the West, where the memory of Christian influence fades under increasing persecution inflicted by intolerant secularism and godless materialism and nihilism, or in the East, which bleeds under the overt persecution from Jihadists, the challenge we face grows daily and cries out for prayer, solidarity and action. It is also critically important for us to remember that Christians in Syria were there long before the Muslims. We have a two thousand year history in the Middle East. Syria was the home of many monks, mystics and missionaries of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Some of the most beautiful of the Patristic writings were penned by Syrian Saints and the Liturgy and hymnody of the early Church was enriched by the worship of those same wonderful saints. Now, our brethren are shedding their blood because they profess the Christian faith. We Must Not Remain Silent! I also caution our readers to be careful as they follow the news on this crisis and stay focused on the plight of the Christians in Syria. Both because of our special obligation in solidarity with them, but also because their plight is the key to understanding what is really happening in this growing conflict. I remind our readers of the spiritual warfare which is involved in the call to be peacemakers. That is indeed also our call if we are to be the children of God.(Mt. 5:9) We need to remember the words written by the Apostle Paul to the Christians in Corinth: For though we live in the world we are not carrying on a worldly war, for the weapons of our warfare are not worldly but have divine power to destroy strongholds. (2 Cor. 10:4,5) It is time to take our position, alongside of millions on earth and multitudes in heaven,and wield the weapon of focused, sustained prayer. We need to pray for these nuns to be returned to their monastery. We need to pray for the protection of all Christians in Syria. May the Lord give them the strength to endure and persevere. We need to pray for an end to the bloodshed and an end to the horrid persecution of Christians.
We ask the Lord to dispel the evil behind this ongoing assault on Christianity in that land of saints and martyrs. We also add our voices to the growing chorus of those urging international leaders to act together and find a way to halt the evil which is devastating that beautiful land. Free the nuns of St Thekla!

I'm a keen urban cyclist and always try to get out on a bike in new cities I visit, and love nothing more than lounging in a park with a picnic. I try to go to as many gigs as possible, as well as enjoying art, and good food, and before doing what I do now, trained as a chef.
I'm a relaxed but considerate guest; I don't mind a bit of cat or dog hair around the place (I have two cats of my own!) but am appreciative of the fact that people are opening their homes to me.

In the highly acclaimed bestselling "A Call to Action," President Jimmy Carter addresses the world's most serious, pervasive, and ignored violation of basic human rights: the ongoing discrimination and violence against women and girls.
President Carter was encouraged to write this book by a wide coalition of leaders of all faiths. His urgent report covers a system of discrimination that extends to every nation. Women are deprived of equal opportunity in wealthier nations and "owned" by men in others, forced to suffer servitude, child marriage, and genital cutting. The most vulnerable and their children are trapped in war and violence.
"A Call to Action" addresses the suffering inflicted upon women by a false interpretation of carefully selected religious texts and a growing tolerance of violence and warfare. Key verses are often omitted or quoted out of context by male religious leaders to exalt the status of men and exclude women. And in nations that accept or even glorify violence, this perceived inequality becomes the basis for abuse.
Carter draws upon his own experiences and the testimony of courageous women from all regions and all major religions to demonstrate that women around the world, more than half of all human beings, are being denied equal rights. This is an informed and passionate charge about a devastating effect on economic prosperity and unconscionable human suffering. It affects us all.
About the Author
Jimmy Carter was the thirty-ninth President of the United States, serving from 1977 to 1981. In 1982, he and his wife founded The Carter Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of people around the world. Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. He is the author of over two-dozen books, including "An Hour Before Daylight"; "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid" and "Our Endangered Values". He lives in Plains, Georgia.

Word Search is #1 word puzzle game in the Android market.

- Easy, attractive interface with amazing quality graphics

Great Good implementation of a classic. So far the words chosen are well spelled (other games I have tried include non-spanish words) and varied.
Evangeline Jennifer Cool App!.. Simple and neat layout makes the player feel ease to find the words,,, Good pick of words .... This app is really a boon for word lovers.... After playing word search my vocabulary knowledge has widened!
Stuck with me I just got a new phone and I had to make sure I got THIS weird search app. I'll be honest, I haven't tried any others, but this is my first app review so it just goes to show how much I love it.
Excellent App This app is a very nice way to learn various languages. I used the Italian setting and had fun looking and searching for the words even though I was taught the Sicilian dialect. As you work the search, you find yourself pronouncing the word you are looking for. The only way you could make it better is by giving the English translation along with the found word.
It a good game kinda like every other word search game but did you know that once you get far enough an orange elf will pop out of no where and scream incoherent blabber at you then proceed to pull his red pants down and whirl his tally wacker at you at first i thought this might alil inappropriate but then i liked it, eh to each his own right
Great Word Search Very Easy to use, and nice layout great app if you like Word Searches

As a part of "
The West Wing
that we got", which is what I was talking about, yeah, I'd count shows that aired as a part of the original run. But go back and look at the early seasons, too. For example, Josh is absolutely essential to the second-season opener, as who really got hurt in the shooting, who got Sam on board, who accepted Donna.
Yeah, and Riker was very important to "The Best of Both Worlds," and Worf was very important to "Redemption," and Odo was very important to "Broken Link." In an ensemble show, naturally you can find certain episodes where a given character takes center stage. But you're really exaggerating Josh's importance relative to Sam, Leo, and the rest. He was a key member of the ensemble, equal to the other main leads, but not above them in importance.
That's a very poor analogy
Any analogy between
Star Trek
The West Wing
becomes a poor one, as soon as chain of command is taken into consideration, because there is no analog for TWW staff in Federation starship crews that we are ever made aware of; maybe we'd be talking about something like a bunch of captain's yeomen.
That's ridiculous. Leo McGarry was the White House Chief of Staff -- essentially the equivalent of Riker. Constitutionally, the Vice President is not the "second-in-command," but is only there to take over if the President dies and to cast a tiebreaking vote in the Senate if necessary. Some recent vice presidents such as Gore and Cheney have carved out more important roles in the administration, but TWW's veep was more sidelined as has often been the case in presidential administrations. In practice, in many administrations the Chief of Staff has been effectively the "co-president," the crucial right-hand person, much as Rahm Emanuel (the real-life model for Josh Lyman) was for President Obama (the real-life model for Matt Santos) at the start of his first term. Josh was the Deputy Chief of Staff, making him Leo's second-in-command and thus tantamount to the second officer (Data) in the hierarchy.
A yeoman is essentially a secretary, clerk, or administrative assistant. The equivalent to the captain's yeoman in TWW would be Mrs. Landingham or Lily Tomlin's character who replaced her.

Peres and Chinese FM Wang Yi 370.
(photo credit:Mark Neiman, GPO)
President Shimon Peres welcomed Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi to his official
residence on Thursday, where he told him that Israel faces not only grave
threats but also great opportunities.The threat is of a nuclear Iran,
Peres said, but the chance for peace must not be ignored. Peace, he said, is
Israel's greatest desire. "Iran is the greatest problem."The world, in
which China is a major player, should help the Iranian people to divorce
themselves from the policies of threats and hostilities so as to prevent Iran
from acquiring nuclear capability and serving as a center of hostility, Peres
continued.Like China, he said, Israel prefers a diplomatic
solution.Diplomatic pressure must be maintained to ensure that sanctions
remain effective, said Peres, adding that Iran must be forced to comply with the
inspections and limitations that the international community
demands.Turning to the subject of negotiations with the Palestinians,
Peres said Israel stands at the crossroads in the effort for peace, which is its
greatest desire. He said he was appreciative of "China's constructive support"
in efforts to bring about peace between Israel and the Palestinians, and said
that Wang's visit and his clear support for peace strengthen the work toward a
peaceful solution."China is the greatest model in recent history of how
millions and millions of people escaped poverty with their own hands and their
own minds," he said. "The Middle East can and should learn from your
experience."China strongly supports Israel's desire for peace, said
Wang.Quoting Peres, he said that the president had told him that peace
needs to be made through taking initiatives. It will not happen on its own or by
waiting. Wang credited Peres with being one of the founders of the friendship
between Israel and China and noted that Peres is still the honorary president of
the Israel-China Friendship Council.

[0001] This invention relates to systems for delivering information services to the users of Local Area Networks (LANs), and it relates especially to such systems as are designed to take advantage of certain opportunities afforded by wireless LANs (W-LANs), which readily lend themselves to usage in large-scale installations, such as airports, warehousing sites and retail outlets, and which support considerable user-mobility around the installation.
[0002] In W-LAN installations, there are provided distributed access points which terminate the air interface to the mobile user and connect into an existing, wired, LAN. The nature of the air interfaces at such access points is that they are effective over only a relatively short range and thus they locate, at least to an extent, the position of the user (relative to the installation) when employed to gain access to the W-LAN.
[0003] This invention aims to take advantage of the foregoing to provide improved delivery to mobile users of location-specific information services and according to the invention there is provided a system for delivering information services to the users of a wireless Local Area Network (W-LAN) installation comprising a plurality of access points, distributed around the installation and providing wireless access to the installation; the system including means for identifying an access point receiving an information request from a mobile user of the installation, for correlating the position of that access point relative to the installation with that of at least one other access point and/or with the position of at least one other feature of the site covered by the W-LAN installation, depending upon the nature of the request, and for utilising the correlated positional information when supplying the requested information to the mobile user via said first-mentioned access point.
[0004] Preferably, the correlated positional information, or information derived therefrom, is contained overtly in the information supplied to the mobile user, as an orientational aid to the user.
[0005] The information supplied to the user may be graphic or textual and, if graphic, preferably displays part at least of the correlated positional information so as to assist the user in locating a feature about which a specific information request has been submitted and/or in which the request itself or a profile of the user's interests, held by a data storage, acquisition and delivery component of the installation and possibly built up from previously submitted information requests, indicates potential interest.
[0006] The data storage, acquisition and delivery component can conveniently comprise a service selection gateway (SSG) device connected and configured to handle all information requests made to the W-LAN installation.
[0007] The SSG device is preferably capable of logging, within a given time period, all communications from each individual user with the W-LAN installation, and thus, in the event that a user is mobile relative to the installation to the extent that different communications are made via different access points, the direction of travel of the user within the installation can be recognised. In the event that this information as to the direction of user travel is available, it can be used to help the user to locate a specific target feature identified in an information request submitted by the user, and/or to alert the user to the presence of a feature of potential interest.
[0008] The system can of course handle information provided to the installation by a user as well as, or instead of, the supply of requested and/or other relevant information to the user.
[0009] In order that the invention may be clearly understood and readily carried into effect, one embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawing, the single FIGURE of which shows, in schematic form, part of a system in accordance with an example of the invention.
[0010] Referring now to the drawing, there is shown schematically a portion of a W-LAN installation, generally shown at 1, which includes access points 2, 3 and 4, each connected by a respective wired interface 5, 6, 7 to a service selection gateway device (SSG) 8 which constitutes a data storage, acquisition and delivery component, connected and configured to handle all information requests made to the W-LAN installation 1.
[0011] A mobile user of the installation is indicated at 9; there being an air interface, permitting wireless connection of the user 9 to the LAN 1, at each of the access points 2, 3 and 4. These access points are key elements of the system since, by their nature, being short-range (especially with indoor installations) they provide the system with some information as to the whereabouts of any user employing them to access the installation.
[0012] When the mobile user 9 accesses the system 1, the identity of the user is announced to the system, and the SSG device 8, moreover, recognises the specific access point, in this case, access point 2, through which the installation is being accessed. Thus, the user is known and the approximate location of the user relative to the installation is known, and by correlating this information with the specific request currently submitted by the user and/or with any other information that may be held in the SSG device 8 about the interests of that user from previous requests for and/or submissions of information, the information provided to the user can be enhanced to the extent of incorporating geographic/orientational information relative to the whereabouts of the user and/or presenting the user with information specifically targeting features at or near the access point currently being employed by that user.
[0013] With regard to the capability of the SSG device 8 to detect the access point in current use by a user, it will be appreciated that when a user accesses a web page provided by the SSG device, the location of the access point can be determined by analysing the HTTP registration message from the mobile user.
[0014] Thus, it will be appreciated from the foregoing that the geographical location of the access point in current use by a user is used by a web-page server incorporated within the SSG device 8 to create either map-based web pages or textual information responsive to the user's request. In the drawing, the outline 11 shows a possible layout of a graphics page provided by the system to a user currently accessing the installation via access point 2 and requesting information as to the whereabouts of a specific feature, in this case a ticket desk, within the site covered by the installation. As mentioned previously, if the user has recently been accessing the installation via other access points, the SSG device 8 can utilise this information to provide a rough indication of the user's direction of travel on the site.
[0015] The web pages such as 11 provided by the system are dynamic and individually constructed for each mobile user. The pages may be downloaded by the mobile user into a browser operating on suitable equipment.
[0016] Information of the foregoing kind is better suited to the mobile user unique to a W-LAN installation, rather than a cellular user, for several reasons, the first being that the accuracy of determination of the whereabouts of the user is better than that of a cellular system, because the user is known to be close to the access point due to the limited range of the air interface. Furthermore, the user will be static in relation to the access point currently in use, and will thus be capable of receiving information of richer content (such as pay-per-view video) than that of a cellular counterpart. Moreover, the privacy factor is higher than that of a cellular user, since the user retrieves only directly pertinent information, and does not pass it on to others.
[0017] The positional or geographic information as to the user's current whereabouts can be utilised by the SSG device 8 (or some other component of the system) to deliver location-specific information back to the user. Such information may include local commercial opportunities for the mobile W-LAN user and/or for outlets or service providers situated near the access point currently in use.
[0018] Some examples of outlets/services to which a user might be introduced by means of the system are shops and restaurants; help/information kiosks; local accommodation; local map assistance; local transport; local services such as photocopying, printing and telephones; and webcam sites.
[0019] The system may also provide for the user to register an interest in certain types of goods or services, thereby stimulating the SSG device to automatically deliver relevant information to the user at times when the user is known to be in the vicinity of a provider of such goods or services. The locations of adjacent access points can also be presented to the user if it appears, either from direct information requests submitted by the user or as on the basis of analysis of the user's recent communication history, that such information would be of value to the user.
[0020] It will be readily appreciated that the server (http) is able to determine the current location of the user because it can determine the IP source address of the data request and correlate it with the user's identity. This is due to the W-LAN system and address assignment being controlled by another server in the W-LAN itself. The server can then determine the current access point through which the user of that address is accessing the network.

Five Days Off The Grid In Yellowstone National Park
Five days paddling around Shoshone Lake in the backcountry of Yellowstone National Park. Warm, mostly sunny, days and cool nights with occasional passing showers. No bugs of any significance. It was, as you might assume, sublime. Best of all, it was time spent with my two sons and an old friend, untethered from the grid.

This is the latest volley from the group. It spent a combined $1.4 million on Senate races in Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico and North Dakota earlier this month.
The ads hit Democratic Sens. Bill Nelson (Fla.), Jon Tester (Mont.), and Sherrod Brown (Ohio) as well as Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) for backing the Democratic health insurance reform law, and slam Rep. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) for opposing expanded drilling for oil and immediately building the Keystone XL pipeline.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee fired back, accusing the Chamber of spending "secret money" to prop up "weal candidates."
"These Republican candidates would be nothing more than a rubber stamp for the Chamber's special interest agenda that puts insurance companies over seniors, oil companies over small businesses, and billionaires over the middle class," said DSCC spokesman Matt Caner. "As voters learn more about the Republicans' special interest agenda, they'll quickly realize how wrong these priorities are for their families and our country."
Watch the ad against Heinrich:

Saint Melchizedek, Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia (11th century)
Memory 1 (14) October
It is believed that St. Melchizedek was the first Georgian Catholicos to be commemorated as Catholicos-Patriarch.
According to historical sources, Catholicos Melchizedek was of a noble lineage and was a pupil of King Bagrat III.
Under his leadership Svetitskhoveli Cathedral was restored and adorned. He journeyed to Byzantium to raise funds for this project, and while he was there he visited Emperor Basil II (the Bulgar-slayer). St. Melchizedek returned to his motherland with generous gifts and began the greatest construction project of the century: the adornment of Svetitskhoveli Cathedral with gold, silver, pearls, and precious stones.
St. Melchizedek made several journeys to Byzantium during his life, and historians believe that during one of those visits the patriarchs of the East approved "Catholicos-Patriarch" as the official title of the chief shepherd of the Georgian Apostolic Orthodox Church.
History has preserved St. Melchizedek's will, in which he bequeathed a long list of holy objects, monasteries, and villages to Svetitskhoveli Cathedral. In his will the chief shepherd of the Georgian Church is referred to as "Catholicos-Patriarch." Melchizedek's will also reveals that he specified the location where he wished to be buried.
St. Melchizedek was canonized on October 17, 2002.
Like Noah didst thou bestow upon thy nation an ark of holiness, and like a bride of Christ didst thou adorn the Church with living jewels. O Holy Hierarch Melchizedek, make us worthy of eternal blessedness!

Supplies of gas and groceries had been running low until Route 7 was recently reopened. On Sunday, people were lined up at the one gas station where a tanker had arrived.
At the Aspen and Evergreen Gallery along the town's main street next to the Big Thompson River, owner Tamara Jarolimek was clearing out the shop Sunday in fear that the new wave of rain would cause another surge.
"We only have limited time to get out as much as we can," she said.
At the town's historic Stanley Hotel, the inspiration for Stephen King's "The Shining," clerk Renee Maher said the hotel was nearly empty. Though it sits on a hill overlooking town, the ground was so saturated that water was seeping in through the foundation, and had caused one suite's bathtub to pop out "like a keg," Maher said.
Despite the mess, some people staying in town turned out for the Stanley's nightly ghost tours.
"They said they came because they had nothing to do," Maher said.
In Boulder, often called America's fittest town, Mayor Matt Appelbaum warned people to stay out of the wide-open spaces that ring the city.
"I know that people are eager to get out there again, but it's truly unsafe." he said. "Places that I've known and loved for 30 years are gone."
Boulder remained a refuge for evacuees from the more isolated mountain towns. These refugees filled a church, a YMCA and a high school and crashed on couches around town. Meanwhile, water continued to back up in some parts of town and a water treatment plant remained down Sunday.
But the town was bouncing back. Libraries and recreation centers have reopened. Students are again spilling out of cutesy restaurants on Pearl Street, and classes at the University of Colorado are expected to resume Monday.
Deeper in the mountains, people are wondering whether if the rest of the state will move on without them.
"At least it's the slow season, so we have some time to rebuild," Lyons resident Kevin Cray said. "There's going to be cleanup for a long time. Folks are going to have to come together."

Hackers claiming to be affiliated with Anonymous launched a widespread cyber attack on Israeli citizens, government institutions, and corporations on Wednesday, according to Internet chatter and postings from the self-described hackers.
The attack is purportedly being carried out by a nebulous group of hackers who claim affiliation with both Anonymous and the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA), which supports embattled President Bashar al Assad.
Timed to occur on the anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, the hackers took aim at Israeli banks and government websites over what they claimed are the Jewish state's multiple crimes.

The hackers alternately blamed Israel for the 9/11 terror attacks, condemned its treatment of the Palestinians, and vowed to publish at least 5,000 Israeli credit card numbers.
"WAKE UP WORLD!!! Who Was Really Behind the 9/11 Attacks?" declared one Twitter user claiming to be affiliated with the cyber attack.
Many in the Middle East and around the world continue to believe that Israel had a secret hand in orchestrating and carrying out the 9/11 terror attacks.
A list detailing dozens of Israeli cyber targets was published online late Tuesday by the hackers.
Several Israeli defense websites and the government's ministry of foreign affairs could not be accessed on Wednesday morning, as the hackers launched what are known as targeted denial of service attacks designed to overload a website and crash its server.
Hackers claiming to be from Spain, Indonesia, the Middle East, and elsewhere urged their followers to take aim at popular Israeli websites, such as the tour group Birthright Israel, which has one of its portals defaced on early Wednesday.
"Gotcha!! Dual attacker was here!!" read a message left by hackers one the website Birthright Forum.
Other Israeli sites had their content replaced with the Anonymous logo and messages such as, "Free Palestine!"
The cyber attacks first began over the weekend, when hackers infiltrated Israeli banks and other servers. They eventually published the names, credit card numbers, and personal information of thousands.
Anonymous also posted the login details of a reported 165,000 Israeli email users.
Some hackers claiming affiliation with Anonymous warned Israel of its intentions in the days leading up to the Sept. 11, 2013 attack, which they dubbed "Op Israel Reborn."
"Israel do you Remember us, we are the same people who fucked you on April 7th," one Twitter user wrote earlier this month.

Day 5 - Etape du Tour
Up early this morning, truth is I woke at 3am and couldn't get back to sleep. I need to be down at St Jean du Maurienne for the start of the Etape by 6:45am and I have a 30min drive to get there from my base at Valmeinier.
Here's the breakfast plan, make a cup of coffee tip it into a drink bottle, grab some eats for breakfast (madeleines, banana, drinking yogurt plus 2 stale "pain au chocolates" I pinched from the hotel ...
Day 4 - Visit Chris at the Etape Village
... br>
The organsiers said that over 15,000 riders had entered this year....I reckon there was 15,000 cars up that road.
Anyway, I got to La Toussuire, registered for the race at the Etape village and met up with Chris at the village entrance.
Just in side the entry was a 15m long banner with all the names of the entrants. As usual the village was full of bike gear exhibits and sales.

Beautiful cool day
Today we left the wonderful Refugio Bonatti. It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed! We had a short day planned and wanted to be sure we didn't miss too much from the trail the day before after taking the bus. After a slow start to our day, we back tracked a few hours and enjoyed a hole without our packs! Not surprisingly, we found more wild flowers and mountains to capture in photos! Wild flowers make me smile! Breakfast ended at 7:30 am and the Refugio staff ...
