By: Chris Ramirez, KOB Eyewitness News 4
As you've seen over the past week, many of the kids who were at the Tierra Blanca Ranch have come forward to offer their version of what they saw.
Not everyone has the same story.
One young man, who is now 21, contacted 4 On Your Side Investigator Chris Ramirez. His story is one that is very familiar to Chris.
Chris Ramirez: I read Connor Griffoul's story weeks ago.
It stood out to me in this stack of police documents because it showed Connor's story is similar to so many others that I read about what goes on at Tierra Blanca Ranch.
And it shows how the state didn't take the claims of what was happening at the Ranch serious until only just recently.
Connor now lives in the San Francisco Bay area. I interviewed him through an internet connection.
Connor Griffoul: We were placed in handcuffs and shackles and orange suits for three months straight. The entire time, we were camping, we weren't in a house. We were literally in handcuffs wearing orange jumpsuits and had to camp in a tent. We were there for nine months and I took seven showers. I wasn't allowed to talk to my friends, I was allowed to talk to my family. I got one phone call my entire stay there. I wasn't allowed to get letters from my mother. It was awful.
Connor Griffoul ran away from Tierra Blanca in 2008.
When a State Police officer found him, he noted in his report that Connor was in handcuffs and in possession of a stolen phone that Connor had used to call for help.
Instead of taking Connor to safety, that State Police officer returned Connor to the Tierra Blanca Ranch.
Connor Griffoul: A couple days after, we were sitting in camp and a helicopter started flying overhead and shortly after that Scott came and he told me you're going to jail for stealing the satellite phone. Pack all your stuff I'm taking you in. I said fine, get me out of here, I honestly would rather go to jail than be there.
Even in New Mexico's super max prison, inmates are allowed daily showers and given access to a toilet.
To Connor, jail seemed like a vacation compared to being at Tierra Blanca.
Chris Ramirez: How did it make you feel when he took you back to the ranch and not somewhere safe?
Connor Griffoul: I felt pretty betrayed.
Since we broke this story, some have accused the boys who have come forward of lying to police and reporters about their experiences at Tierra Blanca Ranch. Connor says he's moved on and has no reason to lie.
Connor Griffoul: If there is anything that comes out of this, I hope nobody else has to go through this. Scott is not a licensed guy, he is not a psychologist, he's not familiar how to deal with troubled youth.
What I'm saying has been the truth and I honestly believe the place needs to be shut down. I don't think anybody should go there and if you do have a troubled youth, Tierra Blanca is not the place to go. They are not the people to turn to.

This weekend after a mountain bike ride in Fairfax, it was suggested that we must stop at the Gestalt Haus for a beer and a brat hot dog. "You can bring you bike inside and hang it on the wall!" was said on our way through the quaint town. As we pulled our bikes through the door, wound our way by the line and along the wall to group our bikes and order one of the seventeen available brats and one of a dozen beers on tap for ten dollars. Waiting for my name to be called to pick up my brat, I found a wall of board games to play and several classic mountain bikes attached to the wall to look at.
The beer is large and well worth the five dollars. I ordered the chicken-apple brat without sauerkraut and it hit the spot, especially after the ride. If you are ever in the Fairfax/Mt Tamalpais area, be sure to check them out, you can find them at 123 Bolinas Rd, Fairfax, CA 94930.

What's the best thing to use for Marror (bitter herbs) for Seder, taking into account Halacha, ease, availability, etc?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Well, here are the pros and cons as I see them:
Iceberg lettuce: PROS: It's easy to find at any supermarket and cheap. As far as bugs go, take off the 3 outermost leaves, quarter it, rinse it, and you're done. No bug-checking required. (The bug-checking thing can be heard from Rabbi Genack here.) It's said that R' Yaakov Kaminetsky's usual Marror was iceberg lettuce. Rabbi Moshe Heinemann also opines that iceberg can be used as marror. CONS: Many people, especially in Israel, don't think it's real marror (not bitter enough!), or only use it if there's no other option.
Romaine lettuce: PROS: good availability; I think everyone accepts that it counts as marror. CONS: must be checked for bugs. Unless you can buy the pre-checked stuff, which can be expensive and/or hard to find. I called a produce wholesaler who said Dole told them they had kosher-certified plain chopped romaine, but then later Dole said sorry they didn't.
Horseradish: PROS: no bugs. Not too hard to find. Had traditionally been used by Eastern European Jews. CONS: A painful (hot, not bitter) experience. Unclear at best if this was among the species described by the Talmud (all the others are in the composite lettuce family, have milky sap, etc.). As one rabbi said: "I use romaine for real, and then a little bit of horseradish for tradition's sake."
Endive: PROS: listed in the Mishna (see Tiferes Yisrael's commentary). Tasty. Not very buggy. Available from any good produce supplier. CONS: I've never seen anyone use it. Expensive. Small, so you'll need a lot of them.
Dandelion: PROS: also in the Mishna (look up "charchavinim"), and in the lettuce family. Tastes bitter. CONS: where can you find lots of them? Do the ones in your yard have pesticide on them? Dandelions are a very strong diuretic, so make sure your system can handle them first.
The other plants mentioned in the Talmud (chicory anyone?) generally aren't used today as far as I know; not sure how certain we are of the translations. And it would look weird.
It seems clear from Pesachim 39a that Chazeres (lettuce) is preffered for Maror. Several reasons are given.
Rav Acha the son of Rava reversed himself and admitted to Ravina that lettuce was better even though it is not as bitter.

I have a system with Ubuntu installed in 20GB and windows in 100 GB, two partitions - each of 100GB using NTFS. While using DC++ (multiple downloading of big file) I used to get message that system is running out of memory.
Is there any way to make a deamon which will be checking the Ubuntu partition so that if its used space goes up to a certain amount (let's say 18 GB) it will automatically start a moving file from this drive to another drive (let's assume it will pick the file from movie folder or largest media file from this drive to move)?
Or it prompt to ask from user which file to move?
Is there any program which can do this for me? If not, can you suggest something to read so that I could make it?

What is known about the Carrier IQ Software and Android handsets? I see a similar icon as shown on the Carrier IQ app next to an app called "Contact Data" and another called "Contact Sync". Does my phone come with Carrier IQ?
On your phone's home launcher, go to menu --> settings --> applications and look for anything that contains "Carrier IQ", "IQ", or possibly "com.carrieriq.iqagent"
If you are rooted, it appears that this app will check and see if it exists on your phone. The paid license key will also let you remove it from your phone. This app was made by Trevor Eckhart, the person who discovered this "vulnerability."
If you are not rooted, this app will attempt to detect Carrier IQ on your phone. And here is another app, by Lookout, that will detect for Carrier IQ on your phone.
Also: if you are rooted and running a custom OS, such as CyanogenMod, you should have no worries about Carrier IQ. Carrier IQ is bundled by the manufacturer/carrier and shouldn't be included in a ROM such as CyanogenMod as long as it is built from the AOSP and is not a derivation of a manufactuer's ROM.
The people who make Lookout now have Carrier IQ Detector available in the Market.
Note: It just detects it. It does not offer any tools to remove it (for which you would need root anyway).
Verizon claims that their phones are Carrier IQ-free.
Here's a solution from the Lookout Forums. This solution uses an App from the Android App Market, and is easier to install then the "Logging Test App". The Logging Test App doesn't work on my phone (Samsung Intercept).

Revisions to Streamline Regulation
The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) approved the revised fixed asset rule on Sept. 12.
The revised rule streamlines existing regulation and provides clarification to waiver requests and unimproved land or unimproved real property.
NCUA Staff Attorney Pamela Yu described the fixed asset waiver process that allows for an additional 1 percent of shares and retained earnings over the approved waiver amount. Under the new rule, federal credit unions that exceed the 1 percent buffer would have to submit a new waiver request. However, multiple purchases of fixed assets could be made within the 1 percent buffer, a provision included to limit credit unions from making multiple requests. Exceeding the 5 percent aggregate limit would require a new waiver request.
The revised rule also clarifies unimproved land or property as raw land without development, significant buildings, structures or site preparation; land that has never had improvements; or, land that was improved at one time but has functionally reverted to its unimproved state.
New Board Member Rick Metsger requested additional information to determine whether more rule changes should be made in the future.

Im trying to figure out how Wordpress sites become defaced/hacked. I know development very well. I know how to secure code, etc. But I am finding recently, that tons of Wordpress sites are becoming defaced. Both sites I developed, and others. Is it simply outdated Wordpress installs? Even when Wordpress is running version 3.1, sites are still being defaced.
All user input is validated, both on the front-end and back-end. WP nonces are used wherever possible. Servers are fairly secure (not 777).
I'm loosing faith in Wordpress. If it is my fault, I will gladly admit and fix, but the only answer seems to be outdated Wordpress sites, and I find that hard to believe.

When my Refinery finishes in the heat of battle, I don't have time to manually find 3 workers that aren't holding any minerals.
What is the optimal way to transfer 3 workers from minerals to gas without sacrificing any minerals?
When my Refinery finishes in the heat of battle, I don't have time to manually find 3 workers that aren't holding any minerals.
What is the optimal way to transfer 3 workers from minerals to gas without sacrificing any minerals?
I found what I think is actually the best answer while browsing the Team Liquid forums:
The most efficient way is to select any 3 workers, right click on the gas, then immediately hit C (return cargo). Workers that are holding minerals will drop off their minerals, and then proceed to gas. Meanwhile, workers without minerals will head straight for the gas!
It depends on what you mean by "not lose minerals"
If you do it manually, you'll take about 2 seconds, and you can lose zero minerals.
If you don't do it manually, statistically, you'll have one who is walking to gather (A), one who is walking back with minerals in hand (B), and one who is in the middle of gathering (C). (As they spend about a third of their time on each task)
Option 1:
Option 2: If you have a brief instant of reprieve, but need to get back on the battlefield, you can save 5 minerals from option 1, by sending (B) back to the base. The quickest way to do that is by ordering "return with goods". This is better then sending them all back to the base, because only the one with minerals will run back. Immediately after issuing the "return with goods / return cargo" command, shift right click on the geyser, and that will queue a command to the geyser, which for the other two will be executed instantly. This can be done in one instant, because the return with goods command can be issued by the keyboard hand, while the mouse hand will be moving to issue the command to the geyser.
Option 3: If you have a little bit longer, select only those that are going back to mining, that way you lose no minerals at all, nor even time wasted mining.
It does depend on how urgent you need to get back to the battle, but if the battle is so important that it can't be delayed by a couple seconds, the gas can probably wait.
What I usually do is quickly grab the group that is nearest to the gas, shift click the excess workers then shift click my 3 to the Nexus/Command Center/Hatchery then shift click to the gas. This will tell them to drop off any minerals they have (no wasting) and then go mine gas.
shift + click = queueing commands. So you are telling the worker to finish mining -> drop off minerals -> mine gas
Usually, when your gas is depleted, naturally, you would have idle workers.
Here is what I do: On top of Mark's answer, if you have idle workers then you can press
What I do is set the command center's rally point to the refinery and build 3 more.
I don't know if this counts as "sacrificing materials", but in my opinion, you can never have enough workers.
The easiest manual way to do it would be to just select three workers and get
I usually just draw a small rectangle close to the command center/hatch/nexus and keep the mouse button down until there are at least workers 3 in it. Then i quickly right-click on the cc/hatch/nexus in case they carried anything and then i send them to the refinery. If i got more than 3 (usually i don't, but sometimes i get a fourth worker) then after sending all to the refinery i pick the excess workers in the selected units list and send them to work on the minerals again. This takes roughly 1-3 seconds, depending on how many workers you have and how good you are at figuring out where the 3 workers will be easiest to capture.
It's easier and faster to rectangle-select more and remove the unnecessary ones than it's to select them one-by-one when they are moving.

I'm trying to make an app that scans the network and gets the names of every PC on the network. If the computer name isn't in the trusted computers list it should disable Internet on the untrusted computer. How can I do this without needing to add software on the untrusted PC?
If you control the router/proxy you could implement a name or MAC address based blacklist/whitelist there. "Disabling the internet" remotely without any hook into the system seems sketchy at best. Any more information on your infrastructure and situation?
I think you are going about this the wrong way. This kind of decision making belongs on your gateway to the Internets. Your router should be making this decision, the whole discovery mechanism is flawed on many levels.
What if you have no permissions to access the machine? You leave it with access to the internet.
If you want to do this kind of stuff reliably and securely I would look at implementing something like Cisco NAC
You have several options. However, you can't simply tell the "untrusted pc" to turn off its internet -- This would be a major security breach.
There are several tactics for taking a computer offline. However, they all would involve manipulating the network itself. The proper way to control access to a network is with something like 802.1x. This is probably the only way to stop determined attackers.
MAC address filtering is somewhat effective against non-determined users.
If you're just looking to cause trouble on a network you don't have control over, there are several techniques. ARP Poisoning could potentially be effective, as well as DHCP or DNS interception. I'm not promoting you causing trouble though, so you'll have to figure this out yourself.
I found a program that does what you are looking to do. It's called NIC Padlock.
I've played around with it and it works as advertised. It also has some other nice features:
What you need to do is block the computer at the point at which it reaches the internet. To get out to the internet, the computer is most likely going through some kind of router/switch/firewall. You'll have to somehow tell your router/switch/firewall to block access from that computer, most likely by blocking its MAC address. You'd probably be better off setting up a hardware firewall between your network and the internet, and telling it to allow only those computers (again by MAC address) which you have specifically decided should be allowed to access the internet. In this case, it's probably much easier to keep track of a white list of the computers that are allowed on the network, than to scan the network trying to get rid of rogue computers.
Also it should be noted that one can change their MAC address, but it's probably the best way that you can distinguish between computers on the network. Computer names, and anything else sent over the network can be changed too.
I suggest limiting access not only for the PC's but for the users as well. You will need a proxy server like Squid. Make sure users cannot access the web directly, only through the proxy.
You then can implement password protection, so that only authenticated users can access the Internet via Squid. It is possible to make Squid check the passwords against Active Directory (or another LDAP server). Controlling user access to Internet is easy in this case, you just allow access for particular security group. Adding a user to this group enables Internet access for that user.
If we're talking Windows and you don't have the option of setting an ACL (which may get very long) or a web-filtering solution in place, one thing you can do is put into place an IPSEC policy, provided you have admin rights on said systems. The IPSEC policy could block any traffic outbound to anything but your private network ranges. This will allow you to still manage the computer on your network but keep it from talking to the Internet. And IPSEC policies aren't something a lot of users (and quite a few admins) are familiar with, meaning even if they have admin rights, they may not know how to undo what you've done. You can do this through the netsh command.
If you don't have admin access, then you're going to need to look at doing the block at the network.

WACO (November 30, 2012)—Firefighters Saturday morning were back at the scene of a raging fire destroyed an old two-story house Friday night in Waco trying to douse the last few hot spots.
By Saturday morning there was little left of the house save for a pile of rubble that firefighters were using a backhoe to sift through looking for anything that might still be ablaze.
The alarm went out just before 7:30 p.m. in the area of 11th and Bosque but when firefighters arrived they found the fire at 11th and Morrow.
Smoke was pouring from the top of the house when the first units arrived but within minutes fire had broken through the second floor and was consuming the roof.
Assistant Waco fire Chief D.C. Yeager immediately called for a second alarm.
Flames began shooting more than 70 feet in the air and firefighters went on the defensive to try to keep the intense blaze from spreading to other houses.
So intense was the heat that people who had been standing across the street from the burning home had to retreat.
Yeager said he believed the house was vacant but that had not been confirmed, however a another assistant chief who spoke with News 10 on Saturday morning said there was no evidence that anyone was living in the house at the time of the fire.
At one point two aerial trucks were pouring water on the fire from above.
The roof eventually collapsed, as did the awning over the front porch.
Yeager said a fire marshal had been called to the scene but he also said firefighters would likely be at the scene all night.
The was no word on how the fire might have started.

CNN cited the American Immigration Council's recent report ...
10 Key Components for a Workable and Effective Electronic Employment Verification System (EEVS)
A key part of comprehensive immigration reform will no doubt be the implementation of an electronic employment-verification system (EEVS). Since EEVS affects every single person working in the United States—immigrants and citizens alike—is it important to consider several key areas that must be addressed to make such a system workable and effective.
The U.S. government's current EEVS program, known as "E-Verify," is mostly voluntary and relatively small. Over the past several years, immigrant advocates, privacy experts, and government agencies have identified potential problems associated with EEVS that impact foreign-born workers as well as U.S. citizens. Before expansion of the EEVS program, policymakers must acknowledge the shortfalls of the current system and ensure a better-designed program that will protect all immigrant and American workers.
Any new or expanded electronic employment-verification system (EEVS) must address the following key areas:
- Comprehensive immigration reform: A mandatory EEVS must not be implemented unless it is part of comprehensive immigration reform that also includes a legalization program for current undocumented immigrants, creates channels through which future immigrants may enter the United States legally, and reduces the incentives to hire undocumented workers. EEVS alone is not an effective solution to our nation's immigration problems.
- Apply to new hires only: Employers must only be allowed to verify new employees. Re-verification of the entire workforce would place a tremendous burden on workers, businesses, and government agencies.
- Data accuracy: Every effort must be made to ensure that the data accessed by employers is accurate, continuously updated, and subject to review. No U.S. citizens or legal immigrant workers should be denied employment because of errors in the database.
- Documentation: The documents that workers are required to present must be documents that all U.S. citizens and legal workers will reasonably be able to obtain. Currently, more than 13 million American adults cannot easily produce documentation proving their citizenship. No one should be denied employment because they are not able to obtain the required documents.
- Worker protections: There must be rigorous oversight of the program and significant penalties for employer misuse of the program—such as discrimination, pre-screening, retaliation, and adverse employment actions based on tentative nonconfirmations—and failure to inform workers of their rights under EEVS.
- Complaint and redress procedure: If a worker is adversely affected by an employer's misuse of the program, or because of a database error, a clear complaint process must be available so the worker can report the incident and receive redress.
- Due process protections: Individuals must be allowed to view their own records and contact the appropriate agency to correct any errors that exist. Administrative and judicial review must be available so that workers are able to seek compensation from the government if an error in a government database results in denial or termination of employment.
- Privacy protections: The amount of data to be collected and stored must be minimized, and penalties must be created for collecting or maintaining data not authorized in the statute. Furthermore, there must be serious penalties for use of EEVS data to commit identity fraud, unlawfully obtain employment, or for any other unauthorized purpose.
- Resources: Sufficient resources will be necessary to implement and maintain a new or expanded EEVS, including additional personnel to handle the enormous increase in queries associated with a mandatory system. Without resources to upgrade and maintain the databases, and to hire and train personnel, a well-functioning, mandatory, universal EEVS will be impossible. The cost of the program cannot fall disproportionately on immigrants, employers, or U.S. citizens.
- Outreach: Significant community outreach and education must precede any expansion of EEVS in order to inform both employers and workers about how the system works, their rights and responsibilities under the new system, and avenues for redress in cases of error or unfair employment practices.

Duplicate questions have somewhat ambiguous nature. On one hand, they are "bad", because the user asking a dup was just bad at searching in the first place.
On the other hand, there are some "good" sides of them, because they help other people find answers to their question, no matter how do they phrase the question (we all understand that in a lot of times it's just the impossibility to phrase the question correctly that causes duplicates).
So are duplicate questions something that should be considered "bad" and closed/downvoted/deleted ASAP, or should they be treated as "good", encouraging users not only to point the duplicate, but also to give some additional comments or information?

Professional Attire: Dressing for Interviews and the Workplace
In an interview, the way you dress influences the interviewer's first impression of you. Dressing professionally demonstrates respect, and also shows the employer that you take the interview seriously. It can also boost your own self-confidence during the interview.
In the workplace, the way you dress is important because it affects how others perceive you. If your clothes are clean, neat and professional, it shows that you take pride in yourself and your position. When meeting with a superior or a client, your professional dress instills confidence in them about your abilities. In fact, according to one survey (careerbuilder.com), 93 percent of executives believe that an employee's style of dress at work influences his or her chances for promotion.
These days, there is a wide range of acceptable dress in the workplace, from very casual to formal. You should familiarize yourself with the employer's dress policy, and be observant of the company's culture. In both an interview and in the workplace, it is always best to err on the side of caution. When in doubt, select more professional, conservative clothing.

nested data with ArrayReader
Hi all,
ExtJS 4 certainly makes it easy to read nested data into associated data stores/models. However, is it at all possible to read nested data using ArrayReader only? Note, I am referring to a data structure wholly composed of nested arrays - no objects - so as to conserve the bandwidth taken by repeating JSON object titles.
An example of such data would be:
[ ['North America', [ ['United States', ['Alabama', 'Alaska', 'Arizona', ...] ], ['Canada', ['Alberta', 'British Columbia', 'Manitoba', ...] ], ... ], ['Central America', ['Mexico', ['Aguascalientes', 'Baja California', 'Baja California Sur', ...] ], ... ], ... ]
7 Apr 2011 7:16 AM #2
I am also in interested in nested ArrayReader!!
Moreover, is it possible to nest a json objects with arrays?
Ideally, my store should consume objects like:
resultset : { "sqlinfo" : { "maxrows":-1, "total":1, "sql_sort":"", "sql_user":"xxx", "sql_dbms":"xxx", "sql_dbms_name":"xxx Postgres", "sql_engine":"postgres" }, "rowset":[ [4596.0, 490.0], [2596.4, 435.7], [596.0, 450.8], [1296.0, 390.9,] ], "metadata" : [{ "columnName" : "col1", "columnLabel" : "col1", "columnDisplaySize":40, "columnType":12, "columnTypeName":"numeric" },{ "columnName" : "col2", "columnLabel" : "col2", "columnDisplaySize":40, "columnType":12, "columnTypeName":"numeric" }] }
Is it possible to haved nested arrays with json objects?
9 Apr 2011 2:17 AM #3
consuming array from a JSON object
You can consume an array from a JSON object by defining (in the store or model intended to receive the JSON object) a hasMany association to the array, and providing the association with a storeConfig to an ArrayReader, like so:
hasMany: {model: '[name of model for a single array record]', name: '[name of array in the JSON object]', storeConfig: {reader: {type: 'array'}}}

I want to buy ACME Tablet TB01 and I want to know if it will allow to speak over Skype using both front or back camera. Can I make video calls?
migrated from superuser.com Dec 15 '11 at 4:35
This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
The current Skype Android app does not support video calling at all.
If it did, and your device ran the appropriate version of Android, you shouldn't have any problems. However, just like using a desktop computer - your performance will be variable. Using a less powerful device will result in a less optimal experience.
There is an alternative, using Google+ (and hangouts). However, to use this, I am pretty sure you will need the Google custom libraries. In that case, you need to check the device you are buying to see if it is marked as a "Google Experience" device. This means it has the "blessing" to run Google apps. Otherwise, the device is likely based on the Open Source version of Android, which is not as full featured.

Sasol maintains an active presence in Iran through the Arya Sasol Polymer Company (ASPC), which operates two polyethylene plants in Iran. The company is a $900 million joint venture between Sasol and Iran's state-owned National Petrochemical Company (NPC).
United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) is asking South
African energy giant Sasol to immediately declare an end to its
business in Iran and take the steps necessary to complete such
an exit, the US-based advocacy group said on Monday.
Sasol maintains an active presence in Iran through the Arya
Sasol Polymer Company (ASPC), which operates two polyethylene
plants in Iran. The company is a $900 million joint venture
between Sasol and Iran's state-owned National Petrochemical Company (NPC).
The NPC is sanctioned by the US and is identified by the
international community as an entity of concern for procurement
of weapons of mass destruction and proliferation, the UANI
group says.
Sasol announced in October 2011 that it would divest from
Iran, but has not yet followed through on that pledge,
according to the group.
Last month, UANI wrote to Sasol regarding its ongoing
business in Iran. In a December 19 letter to Sasol executives,
UANI chief executive Mark D. Wallace said the US Government
Accountability Office (GAO) had identified Sasol on a list of
"foreign firms engaged in commercial activity in Iran's energy
UANI also expressed concern that the Iranian regime media
outlet Fars News had quoted Eric Roper, ASPC's
managing director, as saying: "Sasol is satisfied with
investment in Iran and doesn't intend to leave the country at
UANI also noted that Sasol, at the same time, "has
aggressively sought to expand its business operations in the
United States," including building a multi-billion dollar plant
in Westlake, Louisiana.
Given an alleged conflict of doing business in both Iran
and in the US, UANI said it is asking Sasol "to
immediately clarify the full extent and nature of its Iran
business dealings, as well as to provide a definitive date as
to when such business dealings will end."
UANI noted that it had recently received direct
correspondence from Sasol.
In that correspondence, Sasol said its CEO, David Constable,
"is not involved in any matter regarding Sasol's activities in
Iran," and that while Sasol "has also taken active steps to
reduce and eventually cease all of its business with Iran[,]
... divesting of Sasol's interest in ASPC has unfortunately
proved to be more complicated than originally
Sasol would not commit to a definitive date to end Iran
This is the most-recent letter sent from UANI to
All comments are subject to editorial review.
All fields are compulsory.

Another Lobbyist group screwing up economies in order to starve the innocents to further its own political goals. What do they expect Sasol to do? Divest how? I guess they could sell to Iran or one of its allies, maybe China, for pennies on the dollar. That would teach them!!!!

I was in the mood for some home-style cooking today (vegan home-style, of course). Usually that means baking something in the oven, or making a huge pot of something mushy. The former won out tonight and I went with baked tofu, baked sweet potatoes, assorted veggies, and rutabaga. I was never a big fan of rutabaga as a kid (and my sons are carrying on the tradition), but now I love it mashed with some margarine and maple syrup.

How would I go about making a simple, tiling texture with Acorn for Mac? Is there a tool, or a function or something I can't find, or can it not be done with such a simple application? If you know of a way to do this in Photoshop, there's a good chance it will work in Acorn.
There are many tutorials for how to do this on the web.
Here's a good one straight to the point.
Start with a square of document, make a texture.
Make a new document the same size.
Make a square selection exactly 1/2 the size of the square in each dimension (so 1/4 square).
Copy the upper left quadrant and paste it into the new document, placing it as the lower right quadrant.
Copy upper right quadrant and paste it into the new document, placing it as the lower left quadrant.
Repeat with the two remaining quadrants.
You now have the same texture, with the outer edges as the center lines of the document.
fudge the edges until the center lines blend.
In Photoshop, there is a filter/tool called "offset" which will swap the quadrants for you.
Test the tile by exporting it and using a simple html page with the texture name as a repeating background.

City says intersection unsafe
Six accidents have occurred in newly widened area of Three Springs Drive, U.s. Route 22 West
January 24, 2013
WEIRTON — Six accidents at the intersection of Three Springs Drive and U.S....
Marsh infers that older drivers contribute to the accidents, which is wrong. The close calls that I personally had driving in this area were due to younger drivers not paying attention. As a matter of fact a city official driving a white Hummer cut me off in traffic the other day in that very spot. He swerved from the center lane to my lane in order to take the exit to downtown. I wonder how long this problem would have gone un-addressed by council had it not been for a family member of a council member involved in the latest accident.

20 Recipes for Cooking with Whole Grains
Two words: French fries. Without the cooking technique known as deep-frying, this indulgence would be a shadow of their golden, crispy selves, as would other American favorites like fried chicken, jalapeño poppers, and mozzarella sticks. The key to frying's uniquely delicious results is maintaining the oil at a relatively high heat, which browns food's exterior, while fully cooking its interior.
Learn how to fry the safe, smart way with the following tips and easy recipes (like Sunny's Handcut Fries with Mango Mayo, pictured).
Ideal Frying Fats: The best oils for frying are relatively inexpensive, have little to no flavor, and have a high smoke point, which is the temperature at which a fat begins to break down and smoke or burn. Oils that fit the bill include peanut, corn, and canola. Vegetable shortening can also be used, but its smoke point is 370 degrees F, so be sure to keep the heat well below that.

Is there any recommendation or best practice?
The context is that of a web application running on desktops. The number of items is variable ranging from 4 to around 10.
You added that the number of items ranges from 4 to 10. This can be OK, but we really can't tell without knowing the context and the size of each item.
I suggest that you make a mockup, either a drawing or something a little more realistic to give a idea of how it will look like. This way you will probably be able to judge yourself if you are still in the acceptable range for using a carousel.
Also I think your question is a bit 'reverse'. You should first look at what you want to display and then choose an appropriate way to display that information. Not the other way around.

Answered: problem creating a new record and updating a new record in a store
Dear All,
I am facing one problem.
I want to add new record to my existing store and also want to modify some records in the store. but I am not able to my code is
var RecToUp = Ext.getCmp("transGridId").getStore().recordType; var r = new RecToUp({ T10F2: this.Trans_key, T6F2: this.NameKey, }); r.commit(); store.add(r); store.commitChanges();
So please help me what is wrong here
Please indent your code so that it is readable before you post it.
You don't need to create the record yourself. You can just do something like this:
Ext.getCmp("transGridId").getStore().add({ T10F2: this.Trans_key, T6F2: this.NameKey });

Please help me out
23 Aug 2011 10:17 PM #8
How are you checking that the record has been added?
Are there any error messages?
Do the fields in the data map properly onto the fields in the model? Note that they will not be run through the reader.
Can you post the configs for your model, store, grid, etc.? Even better, a complete, minimal test case would be ideal.
Can you confirm you're having this problem in multiple browsers?
23 Aug 2011 10:23 PM #9
Sorry My mistake,
Now it is adding record in the store + the grid
but it is adding at the end of the grid,
is it possible to add it as first record on the grid (I mean in the first position)
That will be really nice
if it can be done thanks

The following policy regarding call up for active military duty went into effect on October 25, 2001, and has been extended at intervals since. Hereafter, the policy and its extension is subject to annual review on or before Dec. 31 of each calendar year. This policy on active military duty applies to all regular employees in codes 100, 104, 106 and 107.
(Note: specific policies regarding annual reserve military duty of 2 weeks each year remain in effect and can be found in the applicable policy or collective bargaining agreements for the above noted employee groups.)
All regular employees who are called up to active military service will be paid
The school/division in which the employee works is responsible for the pay differential for the first six months of active military duty. Effective May 1, 2004, pay differentials beyond the first six (6) months will be funded by the University.
An employee must give the supervisor or HR Officer a copy of the active duty call up, establishing the start date of service. In order to determine if there is any differential to be paid by the University after the first two (2) weeks of full pay, the employee must also submit a military pay stub. Military pay for purposes of establishing a differential consists of base pay plus all additional pay except amounts that are classified as reimbursement for extra expenses incurred by the reservist, such as travel, housing.
The HR Officer should consult with the Payroll Office to determine the differential due. The employee should be placed on a paid leave of absence for the first two (2) weeks and then placed on an unpaid leave for the remaining period of active military leave. Partial pay during military leave will be made by Payroll through special checks once the Office of Employee Relations has approved the amount.
Except for the pay differential, an employee on military leave shall have the same rights and benefits entitlements as an employee on an unpaid leave of absence from the University.
Benefits remain in effect as they would on an unpaid leave of absence. Any benefits contributions required of the employee will be deducted from differential pay. Vacation/sick time accrual is in accordance with Leave of Absence policy or the applicable collective bargaining agreement.
An employee returning from military service has all the rights to reemployment and certain seniority entitlements, as provided for under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). The employee must report back to work following discharge within the time limits under USERRA and generally must return within five (5) years to have reemployment rights.
Supervisors and HR Officers with a returning employee should contact Employee Relations at once to discuss rights under USERRA.

Newtown holds the first funerals for the victims of the Conn. school shooting
Associated Press
NEWTOWN, Conn. — A grief-stricken Newtown on Monday began burying the littlest victims of the school massacre, starting with two 6-year-old boys — one of them a big football fan, the other a mischievous, whip-smart youngster whose twin sister survived the rampage.
Family, friends and townspeople streamed to two funeral homes to say goodbye to Jack Pinto, who loved the New York Giants and idolized their star wide receiver, and Noah Pozner, who liked to figure out how things worked mechanically.
Noah's twin, Arielle, who was assigned to a different classroom, survived the killing frenzy by 20-year-old Adam Lanza that left 20 children and six adults dead last week at Sandy Hook Elementary in an attack so horrifying that authorities cannot not say whether the school will ever reopen.
A rabbi presided at Noah's service, and in keeping with Jewish tradition, the boy was laid to rest in a simple brown wooden casket adorned with a Star of David.
"If Noah had not been taken from us, he would have become a great man. He would been a wonderful husband and a loving father," Noah's uncle Alexis Haller told mourners, according to remarks he provided to The Associated Press. Both services were closed to the news media.
Haller described a smart, funny and mischievous child who loved animals and Mario Brothers video games, and liked to tease his sisters by telling them he worked in a taco factory.
"It is unspeakably tragic that none of us can bring Noah back," Haller said. "We would go to the ends of the earth to do so, but none of us can. What we can do is carry Noah within us, always. We can remember the joy he brought to us. We can hold his memory close to our hearts. We can treasure him forever."
At Jack's Christian service, hymns rang out from inside the funeral home, where the boy lay in an open casket. A mourner, Gwendolyn Glover, said the service carried a message of comfort and protection, particularly for other children.
"The message was: You're secure now. The worst is over," she said.
The funeral program bore a quotation from the Book of Revelation: "God shall wipe away all tears. There shall be no more death. Neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain."
A fir tree opposite the funeral home was strung with paper angels carrying the names of everyone who died, including the teachers.
At both funeral homes, people wrestled with the same questions as the rest of the country — what steps could and should be taken to prevent anything like the massacre from happening again.
"If people want to go hunting, a single-shot rifle does the job, and that does the job to protect your home, too. If you need more than that, I don't know what to say," Ray DiStephan said outside Noah's funeral.
He added: "I don't want to see my kids go to schools that become maximum-security fortresses. That's not the world I want to live in, and that's not the world I want to raise them in."
With more funerals planned this week, the road ahead for Newtown, which had already started purging itself of Christmas decorations in a joyful season turned mournful, was clouded.
"I feel like we have to get back to normal, but I don't know if there is normal anymore," said Kim Camputo, mother of two children, 5 and 10, who attend a different school. "I'll definitely be dropping them off and picking them up myself for a while."
With Sandy Hook Elementary still designated a crime scene, State police Lt. Paul Vance said that it could be months before police turn the school back over to the district. The people of Newtown were not ready to address its future.

I just bought some SPD shoes and pedals last night and I was trying them out (on one foot) while balancing in my living room. I ended up falling over because I couldn't get unclipped. What suggestions do you have for breaking out of the clips? Do you simply twist your foot strongly to the outside or will that damage the cleats?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Make sure the tension is low at first (should be a little screwn on face of pedal). Generally you will get to a point of looseness where you are popping out unintentionally, go just tigher than that.
Cleat placement also can be a factor. The closer to the toe it is, the easier it tends to be to get out. Be careful about moving too far from the balls of your feet, it could end up with achy toes!
Lastly, see if the sole of your shoe is interferring with the pedal. If it is dragging, you can get little spacers that go between sole and cleat.
Don't worry about damaging the cleat, you will do more walking around on concrete. Also, you will probably fall at least once while getting used to them. It is almost a rite of passage.
You aren't likely to damage anything that way. However, you may wish to adjust the tension of the cleat retention mechanism on the pedal to be a bit looser, especially since you're not yet practiced at clipping and unclipping.
There is likely to be a small screw on each pedal that adjusts the tension of the spring...loosening it will make clipping in and out easier.
That said, you may also want to tighten it back up once you become more used to the pedals and cleats.
Just two bits of advice from me. First, make sure that the cleat is tight on the shoe. If you twist your ankle, and the cleat rotates in the shoe, that will not end well. Second, and I'm the only one I know who does this, I find it much easier to rotate my ankle in (towards the bike) than out. Maybe it's the way my leg and/or hips are built. Who knows? I do know, though, that it is much easier for me personally, and I have no problem getting in/out of my pedals in a hurry.
And as everyone else said, "Practice!"
Just practice - preferably on a soft surface!
You also need to be a little more aware, especially in traffic, think a little further ahead about where/when you will have to stop so you can be unclipped as you stop at the light.
You should also get into the habit of always unclipping the same foot first - generally the kerb side - so it becomes automatic.
I recently moved the clips twoards the back of the shoe (now, instead of being under the ball of my foot, they're 1 cm further back). I did that for other reasons but, coincidentally, I find them now much easier to unclip: now that the clip (about which I must pivot to unclip) is closer to the centre of my foot.
Hold onto something, e.g. a vertical pipe, when you need to balance at a stand-still like that.
Also people advised me to:
So after a few years of riding with these cleats, I've learned a couple things:
It happened to me twice in my first month of riding with SPDs. The first time was my first day out and was when a car stopped suddenly in front of me. I just wasn't ready. The second time was after I had become used to being clipped in and confident in my ability to get out quickly but I had a problem changing down the gears on a steep climb and came to a sudden halt. This time I WAS ready but still went over. Here's some advice that would have saved me both times:-
Get one foot out and put that foot down, making sure you lean towards that side! It's of no use waving in the air as you fall towards your clipped-in side! I now try to think of my left leg as a bike stand. I'm sure I'll get caught out again at some point but the benefits of riding with SPDs make it worth it.
Shimano make 2 types with the black ones (SH 51) restricted to unclipping when you twist your foot in one direction only. The silver cleats (SH 56) allow unclipping by twisting your foot in either direction. If you are new to SPDs I'd make sure to use the silver ones.
As others have commented, get used to unclipping kerbside foot first - and then (and for me this is crucial) make sure the foot that is still clipped in is at the top of the pedal stroke. I made the awful mistake of having the unclipped foot at the bottom of the stroke and when a small child looked like she was about to step out (I was moving slowly up to a junction) my automatic reaction was to put my right foot down. I took myself over onto my right hand and fractured my radial head. No cycling for a while, and I'm not sure if I'll have the confidence to use clipless pedals again, even though I know it was my own stupid fault.
You might not damage the cleats, but you could tweak your calves - careful with that.
In addition to adjusting tension screws and cleats, dry lube can help.
My advice (as others have said) is to loose the tension, and with time adjust it.
The cleat will wear naturally, don't worry about that.
I just started using SPDs last week and when I tried (with an "actual" ride on the back of my house) it went very well, clipping in and out was so easy!
Until I made a stupid mistake, had the left foot uncliped and staning on the floor holding my weight, the bike was tipping over to the left side and I didn't even realise I had to twist my ancle and fell on my left shoulder. Not too painfull and a great lesson, I then spent about 30 minutes riding and clipping in and out a lot!
I believe if I didn't fall down I wouldn't have payed as much attention as I did and wouldn't train the in and out, but as with anything else, it's a matter of practice.
I agree with Jarrett - I also unclip by turning the heel inwards and it is also logical in that your foot is facing slightly away from the bike on release, just seems to make more sense and going the other way seems un-natural for me.
Combine the twisting and stepping motions.
The first couple of months I was following the algorithm
This is a flawed approach, especially while crashing in technical off-road conditions. An improved approach would be:
Done correctly, this is even easier (and much faster) than the first approach. There is no mental overhead of following an algorithm. Practically after a month of training your nervous system to automate the move, you forget you are unclipping - you are simply stepping somewhere!

League Run : England all 6 tiers - Playable
Blyth - An Insight
Blyth Spartans A.F.C. are a semi-professional football club who play in the Conference North, and are based in the town of Blyth, Northumberland, England. They are often the most Northerly team in whichever league or cup they are playing in. They are managed by former Hartlepool United and Darlington manager Mick Tait.
They were founded by Mr. Fred Stoker in September 1899, who was the club's first secretary before forming a practice as a distinguished physician in London's Harley Street. He thought it appropriate to name the team after the Greek Spartan army in the hope that the players would give their all as they went into "battle" on the field of play.
Main Aim
My aim is to take Blyth from the Blue Square North to World Domination!!

5 Beloved Celebrities Who Were Nothing Like You Think
When famous people transcend famous-peoplehood and become icons, their personalities will often be reduced to one defining characteristic: Abraham Lincoln was as honest as he was tall, Mahatma Gandhi was as peaceful as he was short, etc. But famous people are still, you know, people. We understand that even the most beloved cultural icons are allowed to have flaws, but in some cases, their real personalities actually contradicted the one thing they're now famous for. For example ...
#5. John Lennon Was an Abusive Asshole Who Hit Women
Frank Barratt / Stringer / Getty
The Beatles were all about love: They used the word 613 times in their songs, and like 300 of those are probably from John Lennon's "All You Need Is Love" alone. In his solo career, Lennon continued singing about love, but also about peace -- he even spent money putting up billboards with pro-peace messages in cities like London and New York.
William H. Alden / Stringer / Getty
OK, they didn't spend a lot of time on the design.
Many of his fans treat Lennon like a modern day Jesus: He preached peace and love, dressed like a disheveled hippie, died tragically young, and came back four years later with a posthumous album. Just like Jesus.
What He Was Really Like:
Lennon was a real asshole, especially to the people he was supposed to love the most. While he did write classic peace songs like "Imagine" and "Give Peace a Chance," keep in mind that he also wrote "I Am the Walrus," so he did not possess the soundest of minds. Lennon admitted in a Playboy interview that when he was younger, he basically went around punching women: "I was a hitter. I couldn't express myself and I hit. I fought men and I hit women."
Michael Ochs / Stringer / Getty
He flashes the peace sign a lot because it's the easiest way to go for the eyes.
His attitude didn't change much when he hooked up with Yoko Ono and started shouting about peace. People gave Ono a lot of shit for following Lennon to band practices (a taboo in the music world known as "being a Yoko Ono"), but Ono only did that because Lennon demanded that she come out of fear she would leave him. He even made her go into the bathroom with him, afraid someone would snatch her away while she waited in the lobby. At the same time, he was openly unfaithful to her, just as he was to his first wife.
In the end, though, the biggest target of Lennon's cruelty was his son Julian. Lennon was absent for most of Julian's life, and the time he spent with him often led to yelling, insults, and very uncomfortable situations.

"But Dad, I'm afraid of bears."
"I know, child. I know."
Lennon stated in an interview that Julian was unplanned and "came from a bottle of whiskey." Lennon did admit his failings near the end of his life, but he added, "I will have to be a lot older before I can face in public how I treated women as a youngster." Sadly, that didn't happen, so he died an asshole.
#4. Dr. Seuss Didn't Like Children
Steve Larson / Denver Post / Getty
For 1 in 4 children in the U.S., the first book they ever read is something written by Dr. Seuss, like The Cat in the Hat or Green Eggs and Ham. That's how influential the guy is -- 25 percent of our population has their young minds at least partially shaped by this kind, wise doctor with a magical name.
He was also great in Planet of the Apes.
Sure, he wasn't a real doctor (not even in literature), nor was his last name Seuss (his real name was Theodor Geisel; the "doctor" was just a joke), but who cares? His easy rhyming style, simple vocabulary, and playful characters were embraced by children worldwide. Having written so many successful books for children proves that Dr. Seuss must have had a truly uncanny connection to the young rascals, right?
What He Was Really Like:
Dr. Seuss not only never liked children, but was actually scared of them. He never had children of his own, and according to his widow, the reason he didn't like them was that he never knew what their weird child brains would make them do next.
Ryan McVay/Digital Vision/Getty Images
"Will he eat the pencil or put it in his nose? I cannot stand this uncertainty anymore."
He himself once said, "They terrify me." So why did he write so many books for kids, risking being hounded by dozens of little urchins looking for an autograph (or worse, a hug) whenever he left his home? That came about more or less by accident. By the '50s, Dr. Seuss had written some books for young readers, but also for adults, plus some ... problematic (racist) political cartoons, and even a series of racy animated shorts called Private Snafu. In 1954, Time ran an article about the rise of illiteracy among children, citing Seuss' works as a good example of books that kids were more likely to pick up, simply because they weren't extremely fucking boring.
As a result, Dr. Seuss' publisher tasked him with writing a book "even first graders couldn't put down," which meant working with a very limited vocabulary of 250 words. So it was because of his publisher that Dr. Seuss changed his writing style and wrote his popular masterpieces about vandalistic cats and expired food. These were considered "beginner books" (which doesn't mean Dr. Seuss didn't labor over them for months), but they still overshadowed all his other work. It also probably helped that, as much as he disliked children, he hated adults even more.
The Art of Dr. Seuss
"In fact, fuck everyone."
#3. The Creator of Fender Guitars Couldn't Play Guitar and Didn't Like Rock Music
Guitarist Magazine / Getty
If the name Leo Fender doesn't ring a bell for you, here are some others that might: Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Holly, Stevie Ray Vaughn, David Gilmour, Pete Townshend, Guitar-Playing Dude from the Chili Peppers. The one thing these men have in common, besides certain venereal diseases, is that they all favored Leo Fender's guitars.
Marc Crupi Photography
Hendrix preferred them roasted.
Fender's influence on rock music is second only to that of cocaine: He didn't invent the electric guitar, but most agree that he perfected it. And since the man lived until 1991, he got to hear all the awesome music his instruments helped create during the golden era of rock.
What He Was Really Like:
Leo Fender not only never learned to play the electric guitar, but wasn't even a fan of rock 'n' roll. When he created his first electric guitars, he made them with country music stars in mind, because that kind of instrument was a staple in country music. The entire reason he went into the business was that he wanted to provide better instruments for the cowboy songs he loved so much.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
"I was almost a harmonica manufacturer, but guitars seemed easier."
Despite the fact that his entire business revolved around manufacturing and constantly improving guitars and amps, Fender never actually got around to learning how to play them and didn't have any interest in doing so. He relied on actual musicians to help him with the design of the guitars, since he probably didn't even know which way to pick them up. When Fender was testing an amp with a guitar, other people in the shop had to go in and tune the instrument when they couldn't take the noise anymore. To Fender, it didn't make much of a difference.
"For the first five years, I actually thought I was making oboes."
All of this makes Fender's accomplishments even more impressive. His guitars aren't preferred by so many famous rockers simply because they look cooler, but because they objectively are -- his biggest achievement, the Fender Stratocaster, was noted for its clean sound and durability. According to songwriter Jonathan Richman, it was "everything your parents hated about rock 'n' roll."
We should all learn something from Leo Fender. So you can't drive? Try to invent a new car! You aren't a licensed doctor? Come up with a new method of open heart surgery! Maybe you'll get arrested ... or maybe your name will become synonymous with the craft. It's happened before.

An entire town – underground. That's the bygone era you can experience at the Ellinwood tunnels. In the late 1800s, practical concerns sent many businesses into the basements of their main-street counterparts. These "underground" businesses were connected by a series of boardwalks and tunnels creating a separate underground town. The set-up also helped early settlers survive rough Kansas winters and tornado season.

Also, is it possible to see the package so I can tweak it if required?
There are a couple of ways to do this, here is the way that I usually use. Depending on the version of ubuntu you're currently running, you might need to install aptitude. You can do that by opening a terminal and typing the following:
Once aptitude is installed then you would type the following to determine the version that would be installed or is installed depending.
Hope this helps!
To see what version(s) of Jetty are available for installation on your system:
This lists the installed version (if any) and all the versions available for installation, and indicates which one would be installed by default.
If you want to know about other Ubuntu release, look on packages.ubuntu.com.
If you want to see the package before installation, download it but don't install it yet:
The package is in
packages.ubuntu.com can be searched to see which version are included with each release. Some packages from future releases are fairly easy to install on an older Ubuntu release. Jetty is likely one of them.
You can download the source packages from the above site. However, I would recommend against tweaking the package. It is relatively easy to do, but you won't get important security patches.
A note about package versions. These are the original versions. Security patches are backported to this release, and the available package is updated. These patches are applied when you update the package. If you use one of the automatic update packages, they may be applied automatically depending on your settings.
Debian/Ubuntu makes it quite easy to adapt the configuration to your needs. For packages that support
