While Barack Obama continues his European tour, John McCain is continuing to make his case to voters in battleground states.
The Republican presidential candidate was in Colorado Friday, where he spoke to the American GI Forum Convention, a largely Hispanic military group.
McCain has inched ahead of Obama in Colorado according to a Quinnipiac University poll of likely voters. The university's polls in three other closely contested states -- Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin -- also suggest he's narrowing the gap.
While in Colorado, McCain will add to his own list of foreign acquaintances, meeting the Dalai Lama in Aspen. It is the first time McCain has visited with the Tibetan spiritual leader.
After that, he's scheduled to head home to Sedona, Arizona, for the weekend.

Expect the Unexpected — Star Commentaryby Maria Russo in Food Network Star, July 10, 2012
Sabotage was the name of the game this week, as the final seven Food Network Star contenders attempted to dodge unexpected hurdles during their live cooking demos. These obstacles ranged from a messed-up microphone during Yvan's performance and a broken blender in Nikki's presentation to a persistent audience heckler during Justin's demo and everything in between. The idea was to play to the finalists' weaknesses in an attempt to gauge how they instinctively react to unforeseen challenges and minor issues. "They've gotta roll with the punches and come out the other end," Alton Brown explained.
Though some viewers were frustrated that the contestants were purposely messed with, others couldn't help but laugh as they watched the finalists maneuver — some gracefully, some not so much — through their presentations. One Star fan, Holly Burtchaell @RandomCravings, Tweeted her reaction to this week's challenge. "I hate to admit it…I love the episode when they mess with them! @FoodNetwork #Star," she wrote, earning our Fan Post of the Week.
Join the #Star conversation on Twitter and Facebook and your comments may be featured in our weekly roundup of Fan Chatter.
Who's your favorite finalist still in the running? Don't forget to cast your Fan Vote up to 10 times per day and tune in to this Sunday's episode at 9pm/8c to see who from #TeamAlton, #TeamBobby or #TeamGiada goes home next.

Posted by ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas
Still waiting to see whether the NFL suspends Deuce McAllister, Charles Grant and Will Smith for testing positive for a banned substance. But there are plenty of other things to talk about when it comes to the Saints. Here's the New Orleans edition of the mailbag:
Paul in New Orleans writes: Hey Pat, how are you doing? I just wanted to know if you think the saints have a shot at making the playoffs?
Pat Yasinskas: At 5-5, the Saints obviously are a bit of a long shot and they seem to have a lot working against them (injuries, possible suspensions, etc.). However, they have found a way to keep themselves at .500 and that's at least good enough to keep them in the race. I've been saying all year that you can't count the Saints out, as tempting as it's been at times, because they still have a ton of talent. They face an uphill battle, but Drew Brees is enough to keep New Orleans in any game and getting Reggie Bush back from an injury could provide a big spark.
Adam in New Orleans writes: Pat, if you disregard the season up to now, do you think that the Saints have what it takes to win out the season and make at a run at the division or a wild card spot? Also, I would like to know your pick for the Monday night game between my the saints and the packers.
Pat Yasinskas: That's a very unique and interesting way you phrased your first question and I like it. I'm sure there's a fair amount of the first 10 games the Saints would like to erase. But, following your logic, I'm going to say the Saints still have a chance. As I said above, Brees is a huge positive. But let's just imagine the final six weeks go the opposite of the first 10 -- Bush comes back, Marques Colston and Jeremy Shockey get back to doing what they can do and, maybe, the possible suspensions somehow don't happen. That would leave the Saints with an offense that's loaded and a defense that, umm, is pretty shaky. There's talent in some places, but the Saints would have to catch just about every break to run the table or anything close to that. As for a prediction on Monday night, I'll leave that up to our guys on the television side who make predictions. I picked the Seahawks and Colts to be in the Super Bowl, so I'm probably not the guy you want to hit up for predictions.

Malcolm X was a moving motivational speaker. He was able to speak and have the whole world listen.

In his book "Prison Studies", Malcolm X confesses that most of his education was retrieved while serving in prison. I...

The pedagogy of play can be hard to understand and part of the reason for this is it's so difficult to explain how children learn by play because play isn't simply; it is complex.

The past knowledge should become the foundation for developing an understanding of...

- Alien life matters: reflections on cosmopolitanism, otherness, and
Authors: Andre Novoa
Pages: 1 - 26
Abstract: This is a synaptic paper that invites the reader to take a stroll on the edges of cross-disciplinary knowledge. We will walk the roads of anthropology, history, philosophy, astronomy and biology. It is mainly a theoretical article, where I attempt to provide links between authors and theories that were, at first sight, unrelated. In doing so, this paper is aimed at making one controversial claim: ideologically and politically speaking, cosmopolitanism may never fully transcend itself beyond a debate until and unless humankind encounters alien life forms. The argument is based on a simple equation. Despite all the quarrels and debates around the concept, it seems innocuous to assume that cosmopolitanism is the search for a certain universal identity or, at least, a search for a common culturalia, i.e. the cultural grounds wherein local and global senses of universalism come into being (section 2). In spite of the fact that identities are built in opposition and supported by difference (section 3), cosmopolitanism might only be possible as a political project (cosmopolitics) when humankind is faced with life forms that are capable of providing true Otherness. I believe that this may explain why we have been fascinated by the utopias of extra-terrestrials for many centuries now (section 4). These utopias are present in a diverse array of knowledges, ranging from science to art, literature or even religion. They have been around for at least 500 years. Until now, all of them have been trapped in the realm of imagination, but there is one concrete cluster of knowledge that has attempted to transpose these imaginings into reality: the promising discipline of astrobiology. Astrobiology is mainly troubled by the de-naturalisation of Earth in order to create analogues for the study of life elsewhere in the cosmos. Provocatively, I end up this paper stating that this may well be the most cosmopolitical practice available to us (section 5).

Abstract: This text and photo essay concerns a series of portraits made with a community of Tamil refugees living in Bangkok who refer to themselves as 'the Bachelors.' The project was initiated by refugee and one-time media figure, Sanjeev 'Alex' Kuhendrarajah who hoped his peers would tell their own stories to an 'international community.' With reference to Judith Butler's Frames of War (2009), I have sought to 'discursively frame' the images by considering the discrimination these young single men encounter living in the margins of this South Asian metropolis, awaiting the outcomes of their re-settlement applications.

- Performing Work: Locality, Embodied Practice and Career Mobility of
Chinese Women Bankers in Hong Kong
Authors: Wai-wan Chan
Pages: 40 - 62
Abstract: Women are emerging as significant actors in international financial industries concentrated in metropolitan cities which function as national and international business hubs. Based on 17 in-depth interviews with Chinese women bankers in Hong Kong, where one finds the highest concentration of banking institutions in the world, this paper examines the interplay between locality, gender performance and the career mobility of women bankers. The author argues that branch location is embedded within hierarchical fields of power and leads to different client groups, and ultimately, to different opportunities for upward mobility. Women bankers in Hong Kong are skilled in displaying multiple identities by using differentiated styles of language and different tongues, or languages, when interacting with different client groups in different branches. This strategy involves evaluative interpretation of perception because clients themselves make class distinctions according to different service settings. Although mid-level management teams in the banking industry have recently been rapidly feminised, this paper demonstrates that the glass ceiling is still real and continues to exert its invisible, negative impact. The upward mobility of Chinese women bankers is often blocked by informal barriers deeply embedded in the social structure and culture of both local society and international companies. These structural barriers and their resultant structured disadvantages for women are the consequence of the intersection, and sometimes the collusion, of ethnic politics, business or capitalist interests and social norms. Factors and structural forces such as race, ethnicity and gender are intertwined with and compounded to produce deep and far-reaching effects that are often beyond the control of the individual actor.

- Knowledge and Power of the Civil Society: an empirical study of Brazilian
professionals working in the NGOs
Pages: 63 - 84
Abstract: This study critically analyses the way Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) operate in Brazil and their contribution to the development of the Brazilian civil society. The notion of "power fields" and "habitus", proposed by Bourdieu (1989; 1996), provides the theoretical backdrop to our discussions. This focusses largely on the recursive connection between structure and agency which resonates with the work of Fligstein (2006). This study seeks to critically analyse the learning and social practice developed by professionals in NGOs in their daily activities. This study is based on qualitative research and the results indicated that the knowledge produced by Brazilian NGOs, through the recursive connection between the agents of the fields and the structures underpinning them, contributes to the expansion and transformation of the field in which they operate. This perspective shows that the knowledge generated by this NGOs give them a certain level of power and influence in the Brazilian civil society.

High Fidelity Multiband Hearing Aid
This analog portable (pocket size) hearing aid is a binaural realization which uses multiband audio compression. It is meant to enhance comfort when listening to music for the hearing impaired (presbyacousis). Both channels (right and left ear) are split into three bands which each have their own compressor. Each compressor is trimmed in order to fit the overall dynamic range of the residual listening areas of the user's ears. The assembled prototype has its supply either form the mains or from batteries (10 hours autonomy). Its bandwidth ranges from 40 Hz up to 9 kHz. It also includes an output for headphones and accepts either a line or microphone input.

Book: A Singular Woman: the Untold Story of Barack Obama's Mother by Janny Scott
"The New York Times bestseller - an unprecedented look into the life and character of the woman who raised a president.
"Barack Obama has written extensively about his father but credited his mother for 'what is best in me.' Still, little is known about this fiercely independent, spirited woman who raised the man who became the first biracial president of the United States. This book is that story.
"In A Singular Woman, award-winning New York Times reporter Janny Scott tells the story of this unique woman, Stanley Ann Dunham, who broke many of the rules of her time, and shows how her fierce example helped influence the future president - and can serve as an inspiration to us all."
Copies of the book are on sale at Amazon for $10.75 paperback. The book is also available at the NYU Bookstore for $16.
Note 2: The Public Services conference room is on the ground floor of Bobst Library, at 70 Washington Square South. Upon entering the library, the conference room is at the far left corner of the atrium, left of the elevators and right of the circulation counter.

This planting is in the Herbs and Medicinals garden .
Latest Milestone Blooming

Treaty of Kurakchay
The Treaty of Kurakchay,[1] (Azerbaijani: Kürəkçay müqaviləsi) also known as the Russo-Karabakhi treaty of 14 May 1805, was a treaty signed between the Russian military commander in the Caucasus Pavel Tsitsianov on behalf of Tsar Alexander I of Russia and Ibrahim Khalil Khan of the Karabakh khanate, which made the khanate a protectorate of the Russian empire.[2] It was one in a series of treaties made between Russia and local khans in the southern Caucasus from 1801 to 1805.[3]
Under the terms of the treaty, Ibrahim Khalil Khan declared his submission to the Russian emperor and abjured his loyalty to the Persian shah, and was to pay tribute annually. Russian authorities were to have full control over the khanate's external affairs and would station troops in Shusha. In return, Russia recognized Ibrahim Khalil and his descendants through the eldest son as rulers of Karabakh in perpetuity with full authority over all domestic affairs of the khanate.[4] In fact the Khan was killed by the Russians months later.
The treaty however, had de facto little use at the time of signing, as Russia and Qajar Iran were still at war until 1813. By 1805, the Russian army had not even reached close to the territory of the administrational khanate. It was thus not until the 1813 Treaty of Gulistan that the treaty would be "ratified" by all sides.
(Article Sheki, Azerbaijan mentions a second Treaty of Kurakchay involving the Shaki Khanate (?).)

V4 Supporting Communication Strategy on implementing AA and DCFTA
Model NATO, one of four models within the Prague Student Summit, is an educational programme designed for high school students who are both eager to learn and work on their language skills as well – since the programme is run completely in English. The focus is particularly set on current security issues and challenges that are to be tackled by the Alliance. This is achieved primarily through the simulation of North Atlantic Council's negotiations – NATO's decision making body.
Prospective participants are chosen based on an opinion essay as a part of an admission process. 28 students in total then represent one country's interests within the aforementioned North Atlantic Council. The simulated negotiations are followed by activities focused on each student's development in terms of critical thinking, correct argumentation and public speaking.
Our long term goal is to contribute to creating a society which is not indifferent towards the security issues and threats of today. We aim to build a network of future leaders who understand the importance of global issues already on the high school level.

About Longboarding:
A longboard is a type of sports equipment somewhat similar to a skateboard, but in a certain way "longer".
Often faster because of wheel size, it's commonly used for cruising, downhill racing, slalom racing, sliding,
and for transportation.
Longboarding as well as professional skateboarding come about from the middle 1950s, close to duration
which the surfing scene exploded within southeast California. When the swells weren't busting, people had
taken on the pavement on their often-homemade decks (make shift wood boards with roller roller skating
tires have been standard), carving the pavement in a way that mimicked the movements often associated
with surfing. Quickly, "sidewalk/street surfing" started to be a hobby in its very own right, warp speed tracks
that will ultimately concluded in the introduction involving professional skateboarding inside the 60's and also seventies. Right now, longboarding can be a regularly innovating kind of skateboarding which usually blends numerous designs and disciplines. Nowadays, businesses are getting to be progressively more dedicated to creating well-designed, high-performance longboards for each and every type of rider.
Because of the significant multiplicity involving longboards as well as longboarders, this category is quite
tricky for you to specify. Via campus cruising to be able to off-road bombing, this guidebook will give you an
in-depth breakdown of this longboarding scene – exactly how they are created in addition to exactly how these are utilized – to ensure you'll know about precisely what to look for ought to you decide to purchase one particular of ones own.

Virtual machine storage: Plenty of alternatives, plenty of confusion
SAN, NAS or DAS? They're all valid types of storage for virtual servers or desktops; your job is to find out which one will work best in your environment.
This Article Covers
Data Storage for a Virtual Environment
Virtualizing servers and desktops can make maintenance and management a lot easier for sys admins but not so much for storage managers. Consolidating servers or desktop PCs can put new strains on storage systems, but it's a lot more complicated than just needing more capacity to accommodate all those centralized virtual machines, which can spawn at an alarming rate.
Free download: A complete guide to storage for virtual environments
Many storage admins consider virtual servers for a boost in agility – which is essential when supporting remote offices, new business applications, and unbridled data growth. But, if you're thinking of approaching your virtual environments with the same old storage strategy as your physical servers, then you're setting yourself up for a series of performance and capacity issues down the road. Download this invaluable guide, featuring expert tips and advice to help you architect the best storage management strategy for virtual environments.

It's a foregone conclusion that networked storage is a basic requirement, but there are still plenty of decisions that must be made when configuring virtual machine storage.
Our research shows that Fibre Channel arrays are, by far, the most popular type of storage used in support of virtual servers.
FC's predominance for virtual machine storage may be at least partly attributable to its legacy status—it supported pre-virtualization physical servers and was kept in place to handle the virtualized environment. After Fibre Channel are the other forms of storage -- iSCSI and NAS.
There are many considerations that figure into evaluating storage systems for virtual environments, such as whether block storage is required or if a file system will suffice. Network infrastructure may be a decisive factor, too, especially if a Fibre Channel fabric is already in place or if 10 Gigabit Ethernet is in the plans. The performance of a storage system will certainly be a key factor, as consolidation tends to translate into server growth and introduces new phenomena like boot storms. And as virtualization software gets smarter with increased integration into storage systems, the capabilities of the storage array will become even more critical to the well-being of your virtual environment.
The one basic rule to keep in mind is that there are few—if any—hard and fast rules when it comes to choosing storage to support your virtual machines. The trick is to carefully match the needs of your organization with the particular capabilities of a networked storage system.

"For millions of children, 'Home Alone' is not a funny movie, but rather the way they spend their time after school and during the summer. It is during these hours that our children face the greatest risk of violence and other threats, but it also is during these hours that they have the greatest chance to learn, grow and find the hero within.

The Radical Promise of Reformist Zeal: What Makes "Inquiry for Equity" Plausible?
Education reform movements often promise more than they deliver. Why are such promises plausible in light of seemingly perpetual education reform? Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork based in a nonprofit education reform organization, this article explores the appeal of popular notions about "using data to close the racial achievement gap." It focuses on training institutes wherein passionate reformers made complex claims about the power of a program called Inquiry for Equity. It argues that zealous performances of faith in the program raise expectations for social—not just educational—transformation. Because such radical claims cannot be pinned down in either public documents or daily discourse, they elude critical assessment.[education reform, affect, equity, progressive politics, inquiry]

Product Description
These hook & loop closure bags are carefully made from 400D Oxford weave nylon, with a highly water-resistant PU (Polyurethane) coating on the the inside. Each bag offers ultra-durable secure storage capacity with a faster, more convenient closure than zip-lock or zippered bags and drawstring stuff sacks. These bags are perfect inside a tank bag, backpack or saddle bag. They are tough enough to stand up to vibrational wear, abrasion and long-term expedition use. The hook & Loop strip across the top is ½" wide and end-to-end secure.
The smallest size is perfect to keep earplugs clean and protected. The largest works for full-page documents and file folders. In between sizes are great for first aid kit or cooking tools, or to protect and organize electronics. The one that's long and short is great as a travel office for organizing and keeping pens, receipts, money, and miscellany all in one place inside a tank bag or travel pack.
We've been making and selling these for more than thirty years now. We're still using some of the originals. They don't wear out. Nobody else makes anything similar, and they continue to work better than anything else for what they do. Blue.

- useful bagReview by willliam
- I use the smallest bag to carry extra foam ear plugs on long trips. It's useful for this, but a previous iteration used to have an adhesive strip which I found useful (Posted on 5/10/15)
- Large is a good sizeReview by Lance
- I just received the so-called Large bag, and it's a perfect fit inside my small RKA tankbag, essentially the size of a 1 qt Ziploc, my previous waterproofing strategy. Haven't tested the waterproofness yet, but the quality seems great, and I expect to use this for many years. (Posted on 8/1/12)
- Solid replacement for ziplock baggiesReview by Bagman
- After bouncing around the knapsack, inside the top case, plastic baggies fall apart. That won't be a problem here. Very sturdy, and appears that it can hold off water for a while. Haven't tested that yet. Would like more colors to choose from. Wish they had a little window, so I could look inside. Also a bit expensive. But unless something awful happens to it, this is the last one I'll ever have to buy. (Posted on 6/20/12)

I'm trying to make file upload with Carrierwave + Jquery file upload. Carrierwave part went well, however when I want to make multiple upload like shown below it gives me an error "can't convert nil into string":
form_for @prog, :html => {multipart:true} do |f|
f.file_field :image, name: "prog[image]", multiple: true
After submit I get error, but if I remove multipe:true everything works well. I found that this cause is a bug in ruby 2.0.0 edition. I'm using (rails 3.2.1). So, to workaround this problem I tried to use classic html like:
input id="prog_image" type="file" name="prog[image]" multiple
So now I can chose multiple files and after submit no error, but how to make form_for block to understand to iterate multiple times through "classic html code" and post every file? now it posting only one at a time even 3 files were chosen.

Google has named its latest web spam algorithmic update Penguin. For those who believe their search rankings have been wrongly hit by this update, or if you're seeing spam Google missed, Matt Cutts has announced the arrival of a feedback form.
"If you want to report spam that Google is missing, fill out a spam report and add the word penguin," Cutts, Google's Distinguished Engineer who leads the web spam team, tweeted yesterday. "If you know a site affected by algo update that you don't think should be affected, we made a form to provide feedback."
On the form, Google asks you to provide details about the page impacted by the algorithmic update, which launched on April 24 and was intended to better detect websites using tactics against Google's webmaster guidelines, such as keyword stuffing, cloaking, and link schemes. Google asks for the URL of a page affected by the update and a query that shows non-ideal results, with the option of adding additional comments.
This move is similar to last year after Panda launched, when Google created a Webmaster Central thread for those affected by the algorithm change. That thread quickly filled up with thousands of responses – many of them complaints, as you'd expect after their rankings tanked, traffic dried up, and income plunged – so no doubt Google will be inundated with examples, as Google's blog posts have filled up with comments about sites being unfairly demoted in the rankings and worse search results.
As for the Penguin name, perhaps Google went with the name since World Penguin Day was one day after the algorithm went into the wild. And perhaps Google's 2011 Earth Day Doodle provides us with some clues to some future algorithmic updates:
Update: Looking for answers about why your search rankings vanished? Here's some early analysis in "Google Penguin Update: 5 Types of Link Issues Harming Some Affected Websites".

Is it true that bulbs (i.e. taillights bulbs, turn signal bulbs) should only be handled with gloves and not bare hands?
Are gloves necessary when changing bulbs? on 2003 Volkswagen Beetle

Yes, it is true some of the new light bulbs should not be toughed. The oils on your skin will leave a residue on the bulb which will shorten it's life. Halogen bulbs are the most common bulbs affected by this issue but a good rule would be not to touch any bulb if you are not sure. Gloves are not necessary - holding a towel or rag in your hand is ok, just don't touch the bulb directly with your fingers. Check with your local parts store or VW dealer for specific bulb information.
Was is the size of the turn signal bulb?

Staff was helpful. Very close to supratour station, very far from CTM station. But small city, so never too far from anything. We booked the four bed and when we got there they had down the three bed. But he said no problem. When we got in there there were four beds, but upon closer inspection, one bed appeared to be one of the rocks from Stonehenge with a sheet draped over it. So you might want to confirm they get your reservation correct. Good breakfast, but our room had no AC.
