Requirements engineering is critical for successful software development. Nowadays, software development organizations are not likely to question the importance of issues related to requirements management (RM) and specification. However, despite its importance, the requirements process has traditionally been connected with a host of problems. Frederick Brooks (1987) used the two Aristotelian categories, essential and accidental, to classify these problems. As systems become more complex, software developers can do little to overcome essential difficulties such as software invisibility or pressure for change. However, several surveys have highlighted principal flaws in the requirements process that can be linked to accidental difficulties such as tool integration or bad documentation. Not only are these problems solvable, they're also often ones that researchers have already addressed. For years, researchers have conducted requirements engineering-related surveys, revealing problems and identifying potential solutions. Yet according to our own survey, RE problems persist.

Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks are locally common, year-round residents of freshwater wetlands, particularly in central Florida. Viera Wetlands, Circle B Bar Reserve and Lake Apopka North Shore Restoration Area are just a few Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail sites that provide opportunity to see this duck. They are often found in large flocks during the summer months. They look most like ducks, but their lack of sexual dimorphism (for most species the males and females look different), relatively long-term pair bonds and lack of complex pair-forming behavior more resembles geese and swans. This whistling-duck has a long neck, an orange-red bill, a distinct white eye ring, a black belly, broad white wing patches and long, orange-red legs. Their call is a very high pitched whistle. Due to its habit of perching in trees and nesting in tree cavities, this species was once known as the Black-bellied Tree Duck; like the Wood Duck they will also nest in boxes.
In 2012, many reports of this handsome duck were coming in from all over Florida. By early summer, it became apparent that Black-bellied Whistling Ducks were expanding their breeding range throughout Florida and the south-eastern United States. This expansion has continued through 2013 and 2014 and there are reports coming in from places where these ducks have not been seen in previous years.

This paper describes a methodology for allocating transmission costs among users of a centralized transmission service. In the proposed approach, the share of each participant is proportional to its impact on power system transmission investment requirements. This allocation rule provides incentives for all participants to remain in the pool and ensures revenue reconciliation. It is shown that, un... View full abstract»

Engineers: U.S. Needs to Invest $1 Trillion More in Infrastructure
A new report warns of governments' continued "failure to invest" in roads, airports, electrical grid and other critical forms of infrastructure.
At a time when governments across the country continue to struggle to fund transportation and infrastructure, a new study warns that the country's inadequate spending in that area will have damaging economic impacts for businesses and residents over the coming decades.
The study, published by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), projects that between now and 2020, the country will need to spend $2.75 trillion on infrastructure, but expenditures are poised to fall more than $1 trillion short of that mark.
"If we fail to maintain our roads, it's no different than failing to maintain our car," said Janet Kavinoky, executive director of transportation and infrastructure for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "That's not a plan for being fiscally conservative."
The group is calling for an additional investment of $157 billion per year between now and 2020 on infrastructure, arguing that doing so is necessary to keep the country economically competitive.
ASCE officials outlined the myriad of ways that deteriorating infrastructure can impact Americans: unreliable and longer commutes, electrical outages and inefficient shipping processes, for example, all cost people and businesses money, ASCE argues.
"The message is clear," said ASCE President Gregory DiLoreto. "If we do not invest now, all Americans wind up paying more in the long run."
But the case for increased investment in infrastructure could be an especially difficult one to make on every level of government.
Federal lawmakers are focused on deficit reduction and the automatic spending cuts looming in March. The most recent federal highway and transit bill, which was enacted last year after long delays, only provided level funding in comparison to its predecessor. Long-term water infrastructure legislation has not been passed since 2007.
State legislatures across the country are fighting contentious battles over whether to raise taxes to pay for highways, and local leaders say growing demands on water and wastewater systems could be financially devastating.
The report notes that deteriorating infrastructure means higher costs for businesses that rely on the infrastructure network to transport their goods. Those costs then get passed along to households, reducing disposable incomes for families, and thus reducing the amount of money they can spend, furthering the cycle.
The organization's "report card" on infrastructure -- which is released every few years and always gives the United States a D or D+ rating on its infrastructure -- will be released this spring.

Taught as a kid to read the stock quotes in the newspaper (remember having to wait until the next day to get the quotes?) by my dad. Now, a dividend growth investor that uses a garden analogy for my dividend portfolio. Love reinvesting dividends and premiums from covered calls on my positions.
I am a Civil Engineer, who is married with two young kids. In 2013 I took a more active role in managing my IRA for retirement and decided to publicly share my experiences in building the portfolio as an example for the dividend growth investing strategy.
My interest in investing mostly began in 2005 when I started up an investment club with a few friends from college and has accelerated as I've been reading and learning along the way. Since then, investing and the stock market has become a passion and favorite hobby and I've enjoyed writing about stocks and sharing ideas I have here on Seeking Alpha.
My investing goals are to build a nest egg for retirement and fund college education accounts for my kids. I invest mainly in dividend paying stocks that have shown a history of consistent growth in earnings and dividend payouts.
As the grandson of H.B. Reese, the inventor of REESE'S Peanut Butter Cups, I'm on a mission with your help of course (through global crowdsourcing) to make REESE'S the #1 global candy brand. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com or call 717-602-1752.
I am a self-educated investor with a great desire to achieve financial independence and secure a comfortable retirement savings. My education in criminal justice is where I learned to conduct research and analysis. I apply the techniques that I have learned in all aspects of my life and continue to learn and improve. In order to improve the life of my family financially, I began to learn about finances and I have developed a strong interest in investing in the stock market. I love and advocate the dividend growth investment technique.
I have spent most of the free time I had learning about investing and the dividend growth technique from great authors found on Seeking Alpha. Although there is always more to learn, I continue to enjoy the challenge of acquiring more knowledge and experience. I enjoy applying what I have learned particularly in my writing here on Seeking Alpha. I also apply many of my analytic skills and thinking to my articles in order to stimulate discussion, challenge traditional thinking and obtain varying points of view. I seek broad knowledge in order to enhance my own opinion, perspective, and thought process.
Accelerating Dividends Portfolio is the name I have given to my personal investment portfolio and business plan. This plan focuses primarily on US and Canadian Dividends to achieve financial independence. I also include some speculative investments such as small-cap, value and growth stocks to fuel the portfolio to purchase additional dividend stocks quicker.
My intention is to share what I find, what I experience and what I see with readers here on Seeking Alpha and to contribute in a positive and meaningful way.

I'm 25 and married with two kids. I am a Business Administration/Finance undergrad at Northern Illinois University, and have been an avid dividend investor since I began at 21. I invest to make a worry-free dividend income for my wife and children. I hope to retire at a young age (40's) and travel the world on the money people spent buying everyday things (and still do).
We are young and in school so we currently rent, but we are debt free and devote >10% monthly to investing in long-term dividend stocks in our brokerage account and Roth IRA, and contributing to the point of maximum company match in our 401(k)'s; which we only invest in equity index funds.
I have also started teaching my daughter Vanessa(6) about companies and stocks and she already knows we like when prices go down so we can buy more of something before it goes back up. When my son Elias(2) is a little older I will begin grooming him as well, because I grew up in a house (and society) where talking about finances was non-existent and I refuse to do the same for the next generation. Everyday of our children's lives they are taught by teachers and friends and parents how to tie a shoe, add, read, spell, maintain friends, clean up, talk to people, behave in public, cook, drive, and everything else we can think of, but when it comes to finances it seems like every child is on their own and sadly high school's seem to shy away from the subject. My children will be financially ready for the world long before they are out on their own, because of what I have taught them through open questions and dialogue. Financial freedom is extremely important for a lifetime of overall happiness. Maintaining a sustainable cash-flow positive household is much more important for a child to learn than being able to recite all the capitals of the world or what year Napoleon fought at Waterloo.

We believe there is always an opportunity to be doing the right thing in the stock market. There is never a "good" or "bad" time to be invested. It is all about perspective and maintaining a long-term view while acting in the present.

I am formally a data analyst for a non-financial services organization. I have an undergraduate degree in business and a masters degree in predictive analytics. My background as an investor has been in setting and forgetting my 401k. In my recent job change I was enlightened to not having a plan for retirement. In my waking up, I have decided to start posting on Seeking Alpha to help encourage others to have a similar awakening as well as receive feedback from all the great contributors to the site.

I'm an early 40′s Internet entrepreneur that launched several dot coms with varying success in each. At the very least my living has been made online for the past 17 years and at the most I had a fun time in each venture.
I began seriously investing for dividend income around 2007 when my business at the time was literally falling off a cliff, as most of the world was starting too as well, when my need for another income stream became more apparent. I have always known the benefits of dividends from my very first stock purchase back in 1988 but wasn't yet sold on the concept of tying up my money indefinitely purely for a dividend income stream. It was around that time that I learned about Dividend Aristocrats and Dividend Champions when it all just made sense. I could literally see the effects of compounding dividends from these select companies and thought a nice diversified portfolio could provide me with a decent to excellent income stream decades down the road.

I am a part-time investor working towards becoming a full-time one. I have been interested in the markets since school but remained unconvinced by any investment approach until I found Ben Graham's "The Intelligent Investor", which was unfortunately not until my late twenties. I have been investing for five years and I am primarily focused on long equities, using Buffett's "owner earnings" theory as the principle method of assessing intrinsic value. However, I am not averse to traditional value plays based on discount to tangible book when the opportunity arises. I hold an MBA with distinction from the University of Birmingham.

David J. Merkel, CFA — From 2003-2007, I was a leading commentator at the excellent investment website RealMoney.com (http://www.RealMoney.com). Back in 2003, after several years of correspondence, James Cramer invited me to write for the site, and now I write for RealMoney on equity and bond portfolio management, macroeconomics, derivatives, quantitative strategies, insurance issues, corporate governance, etc. My specialty is looking at the interlinkages in the markets in order to understand individual markets better.
I no longer contribute to RealMoney because my work duties have gotten larger, and I began this blog to develop a distinct voice with a wider distribution.
In 2008, I became the Chief Economist and Director of Research of Finacorp Securities (http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=109&STORY=/www/story/02-08-2008/0004752449&EDATE=). Finacorp went into liquidation in June 2010, after which I decided to open my own asset management shop, Aleph Investments, LLC. I manage stock and bond portfolios for clients.
Until 2007, I was a senior investment analyst at Hovde Capital, responsible for analysis and valuation of investment opportunities for the FIP funds, particularly of companies in the insurance industry. I also managed the internal profit sharing and charitable endowment monies of the firm.
Prior to joining Hovde in 2003, I managed corporate bonds for Dwight Asset Management. In 1998, I joined the Mount Washington Investment Group as the Mortgage Bond and Asset Liability manager after working with Provident Mutual, AIG and Pacific Standard Life.
My background as a life actuary has given me a different perspective on investing. How do you earn money without taking undue risk? How do you convey ideas about investing while showing a proper level of uncertainty on the likelihood of success? How do the various markets fit together, telling us us a broader story than any single piece? These are the themes that I will deal with in this blog. I hold bachelor's and master's degrees from Johns Hopkins University.

After being completely wiped out, and realizing family is the most important aspect of life. I'm using my background to build wealth over the long term.
I want to help others with low income and the working class to realize wealth is not an overnight phenomenon, but takes time and patience. That even a small amount of money invested today in stable companies that are the foundations of our society can grow over time. That wealth is not something exclusive to a select few; but a goal anyone can achieve, ultimately shaping their legacy.

I enjoy the traditional works of Benjamin Graham, Peter Lynch, Charles Munger and Phil Fisher. I consider myself half value investor and half dividend growth investor.
I write about dividend growth stocks on my website www.dividendgrowthinvestor.com.
I am mostly a buyer of high quality dividend stocks, with solid competitive advantages. My holding period is forever, as long as the dividend is at least maintained. I tend to concentrate my efforts on stocks which grow earnings and dividends, which provides outstanding total returns over time. I only focus my attention to stocks with sustainable dividend payments. I am also a firm believer in diversification accross sectors and geographic locations.
I have been focusing my attention particularly to companies that regularly increase dividends to their shareholders on my website. On my blog I share my thoughts on investing in dividend paying stocks that have consistently increased their payments over time and tips on growing my dividend income. I hope that my blog will serve as an inspiration for my readers and that it would change their financial lives for the better.

Taught as a kid to read the stock quotes in the newspaper (remember having to wait until the next day to get the quotes?) by my dad. Now, a dividend growth investor that uses a garden analogy for my dividend portfolio. Love reinvesting dividends and premiums from covered calls on my positions.
The first stock I ever bought was the Siemens semiconductor spin-off Infineon right in the middle of the Dot-com bubble and just shortly after their IPO. Of course I got burned on that one. Haven't touched a stock ever since.
Then after my family and I moved from Germany to California in 2011 I started looking into the stock market again and found it quite intriguing. I opened a Roth IRA at Charles Schwab for my wife and one for me and started playing around first with an asset allocation between different bond and stock funds. Soon after I got rid of all that crap and started to buy stocks which provide us with actual income -- cold hard cash.
My investing goal is to create a "reliable" income stream to grow our retirement accounts with dividend paying stocks while reinvesting their payouts in order to profit from the compounding interest over time, aka dividend growth investing.
For my non-retirement savings I also hold some broad market ETF and the Schwab Dividend ETF mainly due to their low costs and half-decent yields over the regular savings accounts.
Buffett-Munger style value investor, running fund of long equities, typically large cap high return-on-assets businesses with excellent fundamentals and presently out-of-favor.

I am a mathematics professor and try not to let that get in the way of making intelligent investment decisions. I am currently constructing a dividend growth portfolio with the goal of creating an income stream that grows at or better than inflation.

I have a durable consumer on a JMS topic. I set the client ID, I can see that it's listed on the queue as a durable consumer.
When I roll out code the server is restarted but I want to queue up the messages that I'm missing while I restart (hence durable). What is the correct way to cleanly shutdown a message consumer so that you close it but still have the queue know to buffer the messages for you
destination = session.createTopic("beacons");
messageConsumer = session.createDurableSubscriber(destination, clientID);
is this the correct way? or will this tell the queue that you no longer want messages delivered when you re-connect?
in a nutshell I'm looking to be able to restart my service without losing messages from the topic I'm subscribed to, thanks!

The General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowment has issued a fatwa banning Muslims from participating in a Mars colonization effort, citing pervasive risk for no "righteous reason." The Mars One project (previously) has penned a remarkably erudite reply.
July 30, 762 to February 13, 1258
In two weeks of blood and fire, one of the greatest intellectual and cultural legacies the world had ever seen came to an end. Crushed under the hooves of a mighty foe (in one case literally), a dynasty, an empire, a city, and a library all disappeared. It was perhaps the swiftest and most complete collapse of a civilization ever, still felt to this day. Now, how about for some context? [more inside]
In Egypt, a campaign to promote an 'Egyptian Islam'
In Egypt, a campaign to promote an 'Egyptian Islam' "This is the new regime trying to create an official Islam, a state Islam, which doesn't exist within the Islamic tradition," said Emad Shahin, a professor of public policy at the American University in Cairo. "It's providing a religious justification to tolerate the killing of possibly thousands of people, and it is sending alarming signals into many segments of society. This is exactly what you call fascism." [more inside]
Your Fatwa Does Not Apply Here
Inspired by her father's struggle against fundamentalism in Algeria in the 1990s, Karima Bennoune interviewed hundreds of people of Muslim heritage from dozens of countries who also work for social reform. She hopes their stories will counterbalance oversimplified narratives about majority Muslim nations. Bennoune's website provides an excerpt from the book, and she is interviewed on Open Democracy (transcript).
Enigma popstar is fun / She wear burqa for fashion
A new Lady Gaga song called Burqa has leaked online. Its production is pretty interesting. Its lyrics are... controversial, to say the least. "Lady Gaga bas a burqa problem," writes Jezebel. "You can't just ornament yourself in other cultures (especially not if those cultures are specifically targeted for violence and harassment in your home country)." Other criticisms abound on The Atlantic and Autostraddle. A blog called Racist Little Monsters has popped up to collect pictures of fans posing in self-made burqas [warning: nsfw language abounds]
Who gets to speak, where, in front of whom, and about what
Why the controversial (and somewhat backfired) Lauren Green interview of Reza Aslan is is about more than just Fox News idiocy.
Rupert Everett, Really Into Dead Victorian Dreamboats
In 2008 the actor Rupert Everett hosted (seemingly from his apartment) a rather strange documentary: The Victorian Sex Explorer ( 2 3 4 5 ), an attempt to follow in the footsteps of famed Explorer, translator, and author Sir Richard Burton and convince us of Sir Burton's passion for sexual experimentation while laying in lots of bathhouses and visiting brothels.

Welcome to America's Thirty Years War.
Why did an American counterterrorism agency map the entire Muslim world as a terror zone? And why was their map 500 years out of date.(via)
"The United States is not at war with Islam," President Obama said last week at the National Defense University, in a speech that declared an end to America's "wartime footing" in the fight against terrorism.
Meanwhile two weeks ago "Asked at a Senate hearing how long the war on terrorism will last, Michael Sheehan, the assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict, answered, 'At least 10 to 20 years.' . . . A spokeswoman, Army Col. Anne Edgecomb, clarified that Sheehan meant the conflict is likely to last 10 to 20 more years from today - atop the 12 years that the conflict has already lasted.

Dhikr (or Zihr) is a islamic devotional act involving the remembrance, the chanting, and repeating of the names of God. Though this often happens in silence, the Sufi tend to have ritualized group ceremonies ranging in style from the Whirling Dervishes of the Mevlevi to the fervid dancing of the Chechen.

Amid democratic reform, ethnic cleansing
The Rohingya have lived in Burma for generations, as a Muslim minority in a predominantly Buddhist country. The government does not recognize them as citizens. Burmese Buddhists have referred to them as "illegal Bengalis", "viruses", and terrorists. In 2012, over 100,000 Rohingya were forced out of their homes during a violent conflict with Buddhists of the Rakhine ethnic group. The displaced Rohingya now live in refugee camps that they're not allowed to leave. With insufficient food provided, refugees resort to scavenging for grass and plants to survive. [more inside]

A Lost Map On The Tramway In Istanbul
In Turkey, there lives a mysterious minority known as the "secret Armenians." They have been hiding in the open for nearly a century. Outwardly, they are Turks or Kurds, but the secret Armenians are actually descendants of the survivors of the 1915 Genocide, who stayed behind in Eastern Anatolia after forcibly converting to Islam. Some are now devout Muslims, others are Alevis –generally considered an offshoot of Shia Islam, even though that would be an inaccurate description by some accounts–, and a few secretly remain Christian, especially in the area of Sassoun, where still there are mountain villages with secret Armenian populations. Even though Armenian Gypsies wouldn't strictly qualify as Secret Armenians, they share many traits with the latter, including reluctance or fear to reveal their identity even to fellow Armenians.[more inside]
Niza Yanay - the ideology of hatred: the psychic power of discourse
"The Ideology of Hatred": An interview with Niza Yanay - "Once we understand how hatred operates as an apparatus of power relations, and particularly how the discourse of hatred is motivated and mobilised in national conflicts, serious questions about misrecognition, veiled desires and symptomatic expressions arise. These questions have, to a large extent, been left unaddressed in studies of hatred between groups in conflict." [more inside]

Nothing is black and white here
[There] is a glaring contradiction in the fact that Gunung Kemukus, a mass ritual of adultery and sex, is going on in the middle of Java, the demographic heart of the world's largest Muslim-majority country. Of course, the ritual isn't Islam as most would recognise it. Instead, it's emblematic of Indonesia's – and especially Java's – syncretic mix of Islam with earlier Hindu, Buddhist and animist beliefs. But what is truly surprising is that even while Indonesia undergoes a steady shift towards more orthodox Islam, the ritual on Gunung Kemukus is exploding in popularity. It's a quintessentially Indonesian contradiction.

Circumcision in Germany is now illegal
A German court has ruled that male circumcision is "bodily harm" and that a child's right to "physical integrity" trumps parental or religious rights. Jews and Muslims have reacted strongly to the decision, with some going as far to allege anti-Semitism. Intactivists are generally pleased.
'consider the Geneva Conventions against protecting civilians in wartime "no longer relevant."'
Last year, Wired reported that 'The FBI is teaching its counterterrorism agents that "main stream" [sic] American Muslims are likely to be terrorist sympathizers; that the Prophet Mohammed was a "cult leader"; and that the Islamic practice of giving charity is no more than a "funding mechanism for combat."' (previously) The FBI pledged reform, but the materials appeared to be deeply embedded. After the President ordered a review, the FBI 'purged' the documents from training materials. Earlier this year Wired reported that 'U.S. Military Taught Officers: Use 'Hiroshima' Tactics for 'Total War' on Islam.' [more inside]

Rethinking the Idea of 'Christian Europe'
Rethinking the Idea of 'Christian Europe'. Kenan Malik's essay is awarded 3 Quarks Daily's Top Quark for politics & social science by judge Stephen M. Walt: "Soldiers in today's culture wars believe 'European civilization' rests on a set of unchanging principles that are perennially under siege—from godless communism, secular humanism, and most recently, radical Islam. For many of these zealots, what makes the 'West' unique are its Judeo-Christian roots. In this calm and elegantly-written reflection on the past two millenia, Malik shows that Christianity is only one of the many sources of 'Western' culture, and that many of the ideas we now think of as 'bedrock' values were in fact borrowed from other cultures. This essay is a potent antidote to those who believe a 'clash of civilizations' is inevitable—if not already underway—and the moral in Malik's account could not be clearer. Openness to outside influences has been the true source of European prominence; erecting ramparts against others will impoverish and endanger us all."
Warning: May Contain Learning
All-American Muslim is a reality show on TLC which takes a look at life in Dearborn, Michigan--home to the largest mosque in the United States--through the lens of five Muslim American families. The participants are depicted dealing with lives far more familiar than extreme. But some are unhappy with the very existence of the series. Citing pressure from far-right wing groups, the home improvement chain Lowe's has pulled its advertising from the show. Online, boycotts of the store, and other methods of protest, are multiplying. Meanwhile the controversy has put the show, as well as the little known group that takes credit for the Lowes advertising pull (the Florida Family Association), on the national media map.

Something Tells Me To Stop With the Al-Qaeda. I Ignore It
Frank Miller is a giant among comic book creators. He gave us The Dark Knight Returns, which rewrote the book on Batman and comics in general. He also gave us seminal versions of Daredevil, Batman, and Wolverine. His Sin City and 300 books are a triumph of design, if not subtlety. Lately, though, he's taken a different path. He recently released Holy Terror, which in 2005 was to have featured Batman, but now features a renamed stand-in fighting Al-Qaeda. It has been nearly universally panned as a piece of ugly, anti-Muslim propaganda. Last week, Miller blasted the "Occupy" movement on his blog, describing the participants as, "louts, thieves, and rapists," who, "can do nothing but harm America" and pointing to the looming threat of Al-Qaeda.
Love is stronger than hate
After an Islamist party won * the first post-revolutionary election in Tunisia, the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo* ran a 'Sharia Hebdo' issue lampooning the result. The prophet Mohammed was named 'guest editor' of the issue and put on the cover proclaiming '100 lashes if you're not dying of laughter'. In response, their offices were promptly firebombed, destroying all their equipment. A week later, from its temporary home in the offices of the daily newspaper Libération, what is Charlie Hebdo's message? Love is stronger than hate. (Guardian story)
"I felt like I'd been catapulted from one end of the universe to the other"
This weekend marks the time of the Hajj, a core pillar of Islam in which great tides of humanity venture to the ancient city of Mecca to honor God. Predating Mohammed's birth by centuries, the pilgrimage comprises several days of rites, from congregation like snow on Mount Arafat and the ritual stoning of Shaitan to the circling of the sacred Kaaba (the shrouded cubical monolith Muslims pray toward daily) and kissing the Black Stone (colored by the absorption of myriad sins, and believed by some to be a fallen meteorite). While the city has modernized to handle this largest of annual gatherings -- building highway-scale ramps, gaudy skyscrapers for the ultra-rich, and tent cities the size of Seattle -- it remains mysterious, as unbelievers are forbidden from entering its borders. Richard Francis Burton became famous for touring the city in disguise to write a rare travelogue, but contemporary viewers have a more immediate guide: Vice Magazine journalist Suroosh Alvi, who smuggled a minicam into the city to record The Mecca Diaries [alt], a 14-minute documentary of his own Hajj journey. Browse the manual to see what goes into a Hajj trip, or watch the YouTube livestream to see the Grand Mosque crowds in real time.
Salman Rushdie, Unafraid
Looking back on the past, Haaretz interviews Salman Rushdie, who discusses the upcoming film adaptation of Midnight's Children, analyzes the Arab Spring, and reflects on the controversy caused by the publication of The Satanic Verses: "British Airways refused to accept Rushdie as a passenger, fearing the plane would be blown up in midair. A Pakistani film portrayed the writer as a pro-Israel alcoholic who murders Muslims. British censorship prevented the film's screening, but Rushdie, always a fierce advocate of freedom of expression, demanded that it be shown." Previously on MeFi: Rushdie (2, 3); Haaretz.

Rated 4 / 5 stars
Dat's Aight
Not a bad game, nice idea, love how it pokes fun at H1N1, but its a bit of a slow game, and not the most exciting thing in the world.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Awesome like the others
what i do is when i start i close borders and then find infected states and do the roadblock where nobody can pass and close airports/docks
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Genious game man, even better than the last one. I just sat and played on normal now, I just can't understand why they begin to panic when I have 5000 infected, so even though no one really was ill, people started to riot and I lost. That's a little lol.
The system of the game flows really nice, and I love tha epic music too. Even the menu screen gives an original picture. Keep the good work up :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
day 33 and the swine flue doesn't exist anymore
I had to kill 76million people but 220millions get to live on
I decided to kill Florida and new Jersey Cause i really don't like thous states

VIENTIANE, Laos (AP) — The Latest on the meeting in Laos of foreign ministers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (all times local):
ANSBACH, Germany (AP) — A failed asylum-seeker from Syria blew himself up and wounded 12 people after being turned away from an open-air music festival in southern Germany, authorities said Monday. It was the fourth attack to shake Germany in a week — three of them carried out by recent immigrants.
By Amanda Ferguson BELFAST (Reuters) - Prime Minister Theresa May visited Northern Ireland on Monday in a bid to allay fears about the impact of the United Kingdom's vote to leave the European Union on the British province's peace process, its border with Ireland and billions of pounds of EU funding. The June 23 Brexit vote has raised questions over the future of the open border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic, which will become Britain's only land frontier with the bloc. Concerns have also been raised about the legal status of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, which ended three decades of fighting between Catholic nationalists seeking a united Ireland and Protestant unionists who wanted to keep Northern Ireland British.
