Economy Why General Motors Is Worth Saving
posted by November 10 at 14:30 PMon
General Motors will not see 2009 without a government bailout. What used to be the centerpiece of the American economy has a decent chance of not seeing Obama's inauguration.
If this should happen, it would be an atom bomb dropping on the American middle class. It might be hard to see from here (or maybe not), but GM and the auto industry are among the few things that have worked in the US private sector, from a social and economic point of view. You know the deal. Work hard, turn in your hours, and you'll be rewarded with the American dream: home, retirement, some vacations, and so on. Be part of the great, producing company, and all of this is yours.
On the other hand, the service sector that has come to dominate the US economy is most notable for producing shitty, disposable jobs that are considered a stepping stone to something better. So what future will we favor in these tough times—becoming underappreciated, union-less armies selling outsourced, imported goods? Or becoming a well paid worker that actually makes things?
And here's what might be most shocking—despite being saddled with the costs and responsibilities of being the largest private pension and health insurance provider in the world, has made clever and key investments that deserve fulfillment. Yes, I'm talking about an American car-maker; hear me out.
Nevermind the now-defunct EV-1—the first modern mass-produced electric car. GM's heavy-duty hybrid technology would be far more revolutionary than Toyota's. Likewise, the technology in a Chevy Volt does a far better job of playing to the strengths of electric and gas motors than any competing hybrid. For more technical details, you should hop over to DearScience.org for an explanation.
GM has great ideas, their manufacturing quality is on par with the Japanese manufacturers, they have beloved small cars they've started pumping.
Early on in this crisis, we decided that AIG—an insurance company that made horrifyingly bad decisions—was worthy of rescue. We're now up to $150 billion in a growing pit of despair attempting to save a company that did little to create or maintain a middle class. On the other hand, the same sum invested in American industry as loans would have a clear, immediate and profound effect on the economy—putting money into the pockets of line workers, new products on the global market that are competitive and even potentially make our society more energy efficient.
The alternative frightens me. If we allow GM and the auto industry to fail, it's unclear what, if anything, would replace the key role it played in our economy. I cannot fathom how to renew an industrial middle class without the auto companies—and the vast manufacturing networks supported by them.

Buff Tribute: Lance Gentry 1968 – 2012
Lance Gentry (IntlAf'91) oversaw the rise of Boulder-based Justin's Nut Butter from a local farmers market product to a national natural foods brand.
Lance Gentry (IntlAf'91) oversaw the rise of Boulder-based Justin's Nut Butter from a local farmers market product to a national natural foods brand.
Art professor emeritus Ron M. Bernier died Jan. 25, 2012, as a result of complications arising from multiple sclerosis. He leaves behind hundreds of former students who spent their CU education trying to get into any and all of Ron's art history classes.
Garrison Roots, a revered sculptor and longtime CU-Boulder professor, had public art installations in cities across
the country. He led the charge and vision for the school's Visual Arts Complex, even pitching in $5,000 of his own money for its construction.
In October 2008, just a few weeks before Americans elected the country's first black president, Lewis was inducted into CU's Athletic Hall of Fame.
Dale "Pete" Atkins (A&S'43, MD'45) came to CU in 1939 from a small coal mining town near Paonia, Colo., thanks to a full scholarship from the Fredrick G. Bonfils Foundation. He credits Bonfils and CU for shaping his life. Pete holds three degrees from the university: undergraduate, medical and a master's of science. He was Phi Beta Kappa.
When Kenneth Caughey (Law'55) was born on the University of Colorado at Boulder campus, it started a relationship that lasted 85 years.
A tireless attorney, CU professor, carpenter and water gardener, Clyde Martz passed away on May 18 at home in Albuquerque, N.M., after a long illness. He was 88.
Former CU-Boulder skier and Olympic bronze medalist Jimmie Heuga (PolSci'73) passed away Feb. 8, 46 years to the day he won one of the first two medals in United States men's Olympic ski team history. He was 66.
A man who started life "dirt poor," according to his family, Baughn played a crucial role in pouring a new foundation for the university's business school, then placed the girders that would hold long past his two decades as dean. He later took the university's reins as interim chancellor and twice as the university's interim president.
Dolores N. Plested, 101, died November 11 at her home in Denver. Born in Trinidad, Colo., in 1908, she was a graduate of the University of Colorado in 1931.
As far as Stephen Romine (MEdu'40, PhD'47) was concerned, the legend at the bottom of the trail map was never to scale. "He would always say, 'Save your breath — come on, let's go!' " remembers his daughter, Pat Romine Peterson (Soc'60, MFren'69). "He would continue, 'Oh, come on, it's only a mile or two further,' but his miles were always two or three."
After nearly 30 years of treating students as a psychiatrist at the Wardenburg Student Health Center, Carol Eileen Ryan died at home in Longmont on May 28. She was 65.
By 1945, Edward Rozek had fled his homeland and spent time in a Nazi slave labor camp. He had fought his former captors in France and Germany, earning numerous medals. Then, as he spent nearly a year recovering from surgery on his eyes, he made a decision.
"Not paying attention wasn't an option," Stoneham says. "She brought history to life."
Helm died at home in Boulder on Nov. 20. She was 74.

What exactly is the remit of DNS? Is it simply for when a user wishes to visit an IP address from a browser by entering a URL? Or does the user have to be visiting a website external to the network, so what about when visiting internal web pages on the same web server etc?
On a wifi login page, if the captive portal uses IP redirection and then afterwards the user enters in their credentials- the browser has to send them to the AAA server, would DNS be used here, or only if the AAA server was external? (Or neither?). Or would the DNS kick in after the AAA server has replied, sending the user to the website they wanted/an unsuccessful login page?
I just want to understand for what actions exactly DNS is used with regards to internal/external network?
EDIT After doing some more looking around im fairly certain DNS is used within RADIUS, but could someone still confirm/explain?

Configuring SMTP Virtual Server Relay Restrictions
Updated: August 22, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1
IIS includes a full-featured SMTP virtual server that you can use to receive and relay e-mail messages to other SMTP servers on your network or to servers on the Internet. The relay function is useful for internal network clients that might have to forward mail to other SMTP servers, and it is useful for IIS programs that need access to an SMTP server to forward mail.
For a user or computer to relay e-mail messages through an SMTP virtual server, the following two conditions must be met:
The user or computer can access the SMTP virtual server.
The SMTP virtual server is configured to relay e-mail messages to other domains.
When an SMTP virtual server relays e-mail messages, it can forward mail that is addressed to any e-mail domain. With this feature, an SMTP virtual server can forward mail to any internal or external network SMTP server for which it can resolve an MX record. However, if the SMTP virtual server is accessible to Internet users, mail relay should not be enabled. With mail relay enabled, malicious users might forward e-mail to your SMTP virtual server, distributing unwanted messages to other computers and reducing the available bandwidth for your internal connection.
By default, the SMTP service blocks computers from relaying unwanted mail through the virtual server. To enable relay access through the SMTP virtual server, click Relay on the Access tab. By default, all computers are blocked except those that meet the authentication requirements that are designated in the Authentication box, which you can view by clicking Authentication on the Access the tab.
You can also allow messages to be relayed to a specific remote domain. The domain setting overrides the SMTP virtual server setting. For more information about relaying messages to a remote domain, see Configuring Remote Domains.
If you enable mail relay on your SMTP virtual server, then you can specify the relay restrictions that are described in the following table.
Only the list below
This option allows only the computers specified in the list to relay messages through the SMTP virtual server.
All except the list below
This option allows all computers, except the computers that are specified in the list, to relay messages through the SMTP virtual server. This option is set by default, along with the Allow all computers which successfully authenticate to relay, regardless of the list above option.
Add and Remove
Clicking these buttons allows you to grant or deny relay access by adding to or removing from the list of computers.
Allow all computers which successfully authenticate to relay, regardless of the list above
This option allows computers that meet authentication requirements set in the Authentication box to relay messages to the SMTP virtual server. This option is set by default.
|You must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer to perform the following procedure or procedures. As a security best practice, log on to your computer by using an account that is not in the Administrators group, and then use the runas command to run IIS Manager as an administrator. At a command prompt, type runas /User:Administrative_AccountName "mmc %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc".
In IIS Manager, right-click the SMTP Virtual Server for which you want to add relay restrictions, and then click Properties.
Click the Access tab, and then click Authentication.
To enable the appropriate level of authentication for your server, select either (or both) the Basic authentication or the Integrated Windows Authentication check box, clear the Anonymous access check box, and then click OK.
Note If you enable Anonymous access and do not enable Basic authentication and Integrated Windows authentication, then authentication is no longer enabled, which means that all users and computers can access the SMTP virtual server.
On the Access tab, under Relay restrictions, click Relay.
In the Relay Restrictions box, click Add, and then do the following to add a single computer, a group of computers, or a domain:
To add a single computer, click Single computer, type the IP address of the computer that you want to add, and then click OK.
To add a group of computers, click Group of computers, type the subnet address and the subnet mask of the group into the corresponding boxes, and then click OK.
To add a domain, click Domain, type the domain name that you want to add, and then click OK.
- To add a single computer, click Single computer, type the IP address of the computer that you want to add, and then click OK.
To apply your configuration changes, click OK twice.
In IIS Manager, right-click the SMTP virtual server for which you want to remove relay restrictions, and then click Properties.
Click the Access tab, and then click Relay.
In the Relay Restrictions box, select either the Only the list below or the All except the list below check box.
If you want to add exceptions, click Add and then specify the computer, group of computers, or domain for which you want to retain relay restrictions.

Our mission at Rainbow Acres is to provide a unique Christian community dedicated to improving the quality of life for adults with developmental disabilities by assisting each individual to achieve emotional, cognitive, physical, social, spiritual, and vocational growth to his/her fullest potential.
Rainbow Acres' program is to provide for the Ranchers' growth needs in several areas: mentally the Ranchers are encouraged to grow through classroom and computer developmental programs, through their workplace environment, and through interaction with staff. Social development is promoted through a family-style living environment, through participation in church activities, through numerous social venues such as dances, sports, etc. Vocational growth is made available through an every Rancher task list on campus, through off campus work opportunities for those who have the capabilities, and through computer programs. Physical growth is encouraged through participation in daily physical activities, through involvement in Special Olympics and in personal programs of exercise. Emotional growth is aided by close encounters with fellow Ranchers and staff in family responsibilities. Spiritual growth is encouraged in daily prayer, bible study, and praise activities, through weekly church services of Rancher choice, and through All Ranch Prayer and Praise biweekly meetings. Rainbow's reputation of caring community through family-style living is national. There are 80 Ranchers who take part in Rainbow's program. They range in age from 18 to 77 years old and are from all parts of the country, though most are from the Southwest. Rainbow Acres is a permanent home for most of the Ranchers; they come with the idea that this will be their home.

My Aunt was brain damaged as a toddler when she nearly drowned. She came to Rainbow Acres as an older adult and absolutel loved being there. She participated in many activities and was alway so proud of what she accomplished. The staff takes a personal interest in each camper and encourages them to be all they can be and do.

Pastebot Gets Multitasking - Now Better Than Ever
The problem with copy/paste is you only have access to the last thing you cut or copied. Also, you can only access the clippings on the iDevice itself. Pastebot solves this problem by allowing endless access to cuts and copies. Once you copy or cut something, that latest clipping will be available on your Mac and/or iPhone to paste immediately. Your old data will also be saved in the app itself.

How significant were the voyages of Christopher Columbus?
Video Version
Why was this question important at the time?
The voyages of Christopher Columbus were significant because with these were discovered a new world, and new opportunities of commerce were developed. The frontiers of Spain were expanded and, definitively in that moment, the sun was not set in the empire of Spain.
Why is it still an important issue?
It is still important because Europeans and American natives already have an exchange in items since the discovery (e.g. potatoes, tobacco, Christianity,etc)
The Spanish language has evolved adding many words and uses from the "new world", and today is the second language most spoken in the world.
Since the discovery, in 1492, continuous migratory movements have been produced; firstly from Europe to America, and now from America to Europe.
These migratory movements have caused new races like: "mestizo" between natives and white people; "mulattos" between African and white people and "bowlegged" between natives and African people. Actually, those races are mixed between them.
Who was Christopher Columbus?
|Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus (c. 1451 – 1506) was a navigator, cartographer and explorer.
There is a controversy about where he was born, but generally agreed that Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa.
His objective was developed a plan to travel to the Indies by sailing directly west across the Atlantic Ocean. He had difficulty obtaining support for his plan because Europeans thought the Earth was flat.
Columbus presented his plans, in 1455, to King of Portugal. John II submitted the proposal to his experts, who rejected it. In 1488 Columbus appealed to the court of Portugal once again, but they declined their initiative because not long afterwards Bartholomeu Dias returned to Portugal following a successful rounding of the southern tip of Africa. So with an eastern sea route under its control, Portugal was not interested in trailblazing a western route to Asia.
Then, he travelled to both Genoa and Venice, but they refuse their initiative.
He had sought an audience from the monarchs of Spain, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. Columbus presented his plans to Queen Isabella, and after two years of negotiations, he finally had success in 1492.

The voyages of Christopher Columbus
First voyageOn 3 August 1492, Columbus departed from "Palos de la Frontera", Spain, with three ships; La Santa María, La Pinta and La Niña. They were property of Juan de la Cosa and the Pinzon brothers (Martín Alonso and Vicente Yáñez). Columbus first sailed to the Canary Islands where he restocked the provisions and made repairs. On 6 September he departed San Sebastián de la Gomera to begin a five-week voyage across the ocean.
Rodrigo de Triana was the sailor who sighted land at 2 a.m on 12 October 1492, aboard La Pinta. Columbus called the island San Salvador.
From one of his first contact with the American natives, Christopher Columbus wrote in his journal that: "Many of the men I have seen have scars on their bodies, and when I made signs to them to find out how this happened, they indicated that people from other nearby islands come to San Salvador to capture them; they defended themselves the best they can. I believe that people from the mainland come here to take them as slaves. They ought to make good and skilled servants, for they repeat very quickly whatever we say to them. I think they can very easily be made Christians, for they seem to have no religion."
|World map according with Christopher Columbus' ideas
Second voyageColumbus left Cádiz, on 25 September 1493 to find new territories, with 17 ships carrying supplies, and about 1,200 men to colonize the region.
The Spanish Monarchy pretended initiates colonization. For that Castilian crown ordered Columbus that he helped the catholic conversion, the good treatment to the American natives, and promote the commerce of prime materials which it was going to be a monopoly between the Castilian crown and Columbus.
In the first voyage, Columbus already notice that the potential riches of America:
[…] Yo estava atento y trabajava de saber si avía oro y vide que algunos de ellos traían un pedaçuelo colgado en un agujero que tienen en la nariz. Y por señas pude entender que yendo al Sur o Bolviendo la isla por el Sur, que estava alli un rey que tenía grandes vasos de ello, y tenía muy mucho […]
[…]I was attentive and tried to know if there was gold and I saw some of them had a piece hanging in a hole they have in the nose. And I understood by signals that going to the south or coming back to the island to the south, there was a king who had great vessels of this and it was very much[…]
But there were evidence that during this voyage, natives were enslaved and murdered. Hundreds were rounded up and shipped to Europe to be sold.
Third voyageThe expedition was divided in two groups, one departed on February 1498, and the second one departed on 30 may 1498 from Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Columbus was accompanied by Bartolomé de las Casas, who would later provide transcripts of Columbus' diaries.
The objective of this trip was to find solid ground, because in the previous they landed in islands. They firstly landed on the island of Trinidad on 31 July. But later on august he explored the Gulf of Paria which separates Trinidad from Venezuela. And after that, he explored the mainland of South America, including the Orinoco River.
Columbus has found uprisings and he was going to lose his power. Finally in 1499, the Castillian crown remove from him, the monopoly about the commerce and the discovery, authorizing other expeditions which were known as the minor voyages.
Fourth voyageChristopher Columbus did not want to do this trip due to his health problems. Despite this, he eventually accepted to compete with Portugal and their new success, the discovery of Brazil.
Columbus departed from Seville, on 13 April 1502 and they landed at Santo Domingo on 29 June.

In his later years, Columbus demanded to the Castillian Crown give him 10% of profits made in the "new world". His request was rejected, but after his death, his family demanded in the pleitos colombinos for part of the profits from commerce with America.
Christopher Columbus died, on 20 May 1506, in Valladolid.

15 July 2016 | St Albans, UK [Victor Hulbert/tedNEWS] At least 84 people are dead, including many children, while a further 50 are in a critical condition in hospital after a lorry ploughed through a crowd during Bastille Day celebrations in Nice, France on the evening of Thursday, 15 July. Three members of one Adventist family are among the injured.
"It is with shock and grief we wake up to the news about the tragedies in Nice," states Pastor Raafat Kamal, President of the Trans-European Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. "We continue to witness the great controversy unfolding in our broken world and we are reminded of our important mission to speak and live the great hope of Jesus Christ and His soon return," he added.

Skip to comments.Child taken from womb by social services
Posted on 11/30/2013 6:23:19 PM PST by Libloather
click here to read article
I've suffered from panic attacks occasionally all my life. My Doctors advised blowing in a paper bag and physical exercise first before taking meds. I never knew that in Briton a panic attack is cause for having your child taken away, but of course she is the one that called the police.
Its a better place career-wise for me and beside that, she-who-must-be-obeyed is from England and I promised her we'd move back if she kicked breast cancer. She did, and after paying off 10k in medical bills, we packed up and moved over, other than the weather, I love it here.
None of the government's business.
Something like that would alone cause serious mental anguish and problems. Talk about trying to send someone over the edge.
Sooner or later, the government will assume control over that which it presides. Making abortion in Roe V. Wade a federal issue which it is not (as well as many other thing the Feds interfere with unconstitutionally) allows the government to close in on assuming control over pregnancies. The "progressives" and socialists would like to make everything and everyone property of the federal government. They already do pretty much whatever they want. The next step isn't too far from that.
If this bi-polar woman had decided to have an abortion the British state would have paid for it and applauded her "right to choose" to "terminate her pregnancy" and expel the "fetal tissue" from her body. They would not have accepted an argument that she was not mentally fit to make such a decision or that the unborn child had any recognized rights. By intervening in this case and forcibly taking the baby, the British state has effectively recognized that the fetus is in fact an unborn child deserving of protection. They are blinded by their hypocrisy and will never admit the obvious.
Whether or not thats true, one thing IS true: is it is none of the government's business.
Okay, how is that even remotely ethical?
I did. Being bi-polar is definitely heritable. I've seen it run in families as well.
Amen 444. I pray For healing for the mother and child and for them to be united very soon.
People in Britain don't go to church any more: don't have the time or the money.
Abortion in the UK IS set by strict rules. You aren't allowed to do it when you wish (there are time limits), nor if you aren't mentally competent.
Having a good friend that is a Psychiatrist, he estimates a 25% chance of Bipolar if one parent has the disease, 50% if two. This can be the case with other conditions, and Bipolar is treatable. Also, if Bipolar runs in the family those 25% and 50% numbers include those family members that are going to get non-Bipolar Depression and other mood disorders, which many people have with no family history.
So what?
You got us there. Clearly both our countries are off the deep end.
I want to puke and I know that the evil in this world will only become more apparent.

Firstly, parsing configuration files isn't really correct. And not nearly distro-independent either.
My first idea was to search for running dhclient processes, but each distribution uses a different esoteric command line. Even the binary name itself varies. In Fedora, it's dhclient. In Ubuntu, it's dhclient3.
Is there something in /proc or /sys that indicates that an IP is dynamic?

data, hack, personal information, south korea
We've talked about some massive data breaches in the past, but a recent hack attack in South Korea apparently resulted in personal information on 35 million people being copied. The country has a population somewhere around 49 million... meaning that over 70% of South Koreans had their personal info copied by someone. Authorities are blaming China, though it's not clear if that's really the case. Either way, whoever did the hack got "user IDs, passwords, social security numbers, names, mobile phone numbers and email addresses." At least the SSNs and passwords were encrypted, so it's not quite as bad as it could have been. But it basically sounds like if you have internet access in South Korea, someone probably got your data.

A lot of services online can't be used unless you have a SSN in South Korea. From banking to video games. It's one way for them to ensure that their systems accept only regional access or restrict access to their citizens.

Um... How does that indicate the attacker, again? China is the #1 favorite location for bounce boxes (i.e. hacked computers you SSH to and use *them* to do the hacking, so to cover your traces).

Re:And THAT is the worst part of the shameful bill rammed through today. It's inevitable that information like this will be acquired by third parties.

And they WILL get it. It has value, therefore someone will be willing to hack it for the right price.
We need data protection laws that stipulate the death penalty for those who fail. That's the only thing that will convince people to put adequate security in place.

Re: Re:I wouldn't say the death penalty, but a fine appropriate to your size. So if, say, Sony had a breach nd didn't tell you about it, they'd lose $40m. But if a small business lost it, they would only be fined a few g's.
Anonymous Coward, Jul 30th, 2011 @ 3:04am
Re: Re: Re:$40M to Sony? Insignificant. Besides, they'd fight it in court, spending $100M if necessary to avoid paying it.
No, I would prefer to see the CEO publicly beheaded as punishment for the breaches. I think that would "inspire" them to work just a little harder to keep data private.

IRVING - Some eyebrows were raised when the Giants selected Boston College defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka with the last selection of the first round of the 2006 NFL draft.
For one thing, the team already had a future Hall of Famer in defensive end Michael Strahan. For another, New York used two first-day draft picks in the previous three years on ends Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck, who were to be developed behind the aging Giants legend.
So why would the Giants need another pass rusher? Everyone's finding out now. The Giants' 30 sacks are five more than any other team in the league, and all four pass rushers rank in the top 30 in the NFL in sacks.
Collectively, they present a pass-protection challenge that, if not the toughest, is certainly unique in facing the Cowboys' offensive front.
"There's a lot of speed and ability and talent with those four guys," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "The different matchups put a lot of stress on an opponent in terms of protections."
Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo is the man creating those matchups. In doing so, he has veered from his roots working under blitz-happy Eagles coordinator Jim Johnson the last eight years. Where Johnson uses everyone on the field to bring extra pressure, Spagnuolo hasn't sent more than the standard four rushers as often.
That's because he hasn't had to. With a glut of quick rushers on the outside, Spagnuolo has used the team's nickel defense to put all four in the game at the same time. That forces guards and centers, used to blocking bull-rushing tackles, to try to fight off quicker players.
"They're playing with a lot of confidence, a lot of swagger," Cowboys center Andre Gurode said. "And they look like a totally different team."
It starts with a run defense that ranks seventh in the league and has been good enough to influence opponents to throw on 98 of 144 first-down plays. That works to create long-yardage situations, when 300-pound tackles Barry Cofield and Fred Robbins come off the field and are replaced by Kiawanuka from linebacker and Tuck off the bench.
There's no telling who's lining up where, and that's allowed Spagnuolo to keep linebackers in coverage.
Pressure, too, comes from within. All four are competitive with one another.
"If I get a sack or two, they look at me like I stole something from their momma," Strahan said.
The race to the quarterback has brought impressive results. Each has a multiple-sack game this season. Strahan, who missed the preseason, has the low-water mark with four. Umenyiora has eight, Tuck has seven and Kiwanuka 41u22152, meaning the four account for 231u22152 of the team's 30 sacks.
But the Cowboys have a talented group of their own along the offensive line. Dallas starts a three-time Pro Bowler at left tackle (Flozell Adams) along with two longtime starting left tackles (right tackle Marc Colombo and right guard Leonard Davis).
So the idea of facing a top-shelf pass rusher, or four of them, isn't exactly foreign. And the confidence they can stop such players, no matter where or how they line up, is key to the Cowboys.
"They're doing their thing," Davis said. "But we can't really worry about them. We've got to worry about ourselves because that's what we can control."

Ukraine on Thursday freed Tajikistan's former prime minister Abdumalik Abdullajanov from detention and refused a request to extradite him to his homeland where he is accused of attempting to stage a coup against the president.
"The prosecutor's office of the Kiev region decided to free him from the detention centre," his lawyer Andrey Fedur told the Interfax news agency.
"The Ukrainian side will not extradite Abdullajanov," the Ukrainian prosecutor-general's press service told Interfax.
Tajikistan had sought his extradition, accusing him of trying to stage a coup against President Emomali Rakhmon in the late 1990s during an army mutiny.
In March the United Nations refugee agency warned Ukraine that extraditing Abdullajanov to Tajikistan would break international law because he had been granted political asylum in the United States and urged his release.
Abdullajanov, who has lived in the United States for 16 years, was detained in February at Kiev airport as he arrived in Ukraine on a private visit.
Abdullajanov was prime minister in the impoverished ex-Soviet country from 1992-1993 and in 1994 unsuccessfully stood in elections against Rakhmon.
Rakhmon, who has headed the Central Asian state since 1992, is up for re-election in polls expected in November this year.

Noroton Heights Train Station ► Open241-399 Heights Rd Darien, CT 06820, USANorth bound train platform. Someone leaves old food on the platform for the birds. It's a mess. Clean it up.· Reported by Train man · Share · Flag Flagged
Capt. Neckbeard (Guest)I thought that was a breakfast buffet provided by Metro North. Being serious, its gross. If the birds want to eat trash, they can fly to the dump.
Anonymous (Guest)I think someone is trying to do a good thing for the birds, but when it rains, it's really a mess.
Left-Turn Arrow Not Being Utilized ► Open240 Hoyt St Darien, CT 06820, USAThe traffic light at Camp/Hoyt has a left-turn arrow that never seems to be activated. The arrow is essential for traffic traveling eastbound on Camp to be able to safely make a left turn on Hoyt(northbound). This has been a problem for quite a few years. Multiple vehicles are forced to run the red light to make the left turn.· Reported by Peeved · Share · Flag Flagged
sam (Guest)I have never had an issue at that intersection.
resident (Guest)I have a problem getting through that intersection several times a week.
No sidewalks ► Open44-74 Edgerton St Darien, CT 06820, USAAs someone who walks daily on Edgerton st. down to the train station, I find it unbelievable that there are no sidewalks on this very popular route to the train. With the way people speed down this street and on West ave, its amazing that no-one has been killed!
CB (Guest)I agree. I brought this up at a Selectmen meeting about putting a sidewalk on Hoyt Street to the train. I think Edgerton is a much higher priority sidewalk. Many people walk to the train and it is a total hazard. Plus there are plans for more building in the area, as well as challenged residents living at The Cottage nearby. Edgerton is the highest priority sidewalk need I can think of.
Stop signs ignored! ► Open209 Noroton Ave Darien, CT 06820, USAPeople do not make the proper stops at this intersection.· Reported by C · Share · Flag Flagged
Noroton Ave pothole ► Open281-287 Noroton Ave Darien, CT 06820, USAPoorly repaired patches from a water main break have opened up and are getting worse daily as heavy traffic turns south off of Middlesex Rd.· Reported by M Roberts · Share · Flag Flagged
VMR (Guest)To someone's credit, this pothole did receive a shovel full of asphalt, but the repair was so poor it has already started coming back from the constant beating of traffic. Frankly, all of Noroton Ave is LONG overdue for re-paving.
Speeding and Children's Safety ► OpenHollow Tree Ridge And Red Cedar Drive Darien, CTI am a darien homeowner/resident and I live on Red Cedar Drive. In living here for the past three or so years I've noticed a good deal of high speed traffic from norton heights on Hollow Tree Ridge toward the post rd. And I've called the police about it a few times. When I'm leaving my street many times cars come zipping past as I'm trying to turn onto Hollow Tree Ridge and often times on my way home I also have people on my rearend as I'm turning that sharp corner and start breaking to turn left onto Red Cedar Drive. people tend to travel that road at a high rate of speed and I've had people beep their horn at me because I'm slowing down to make that turn onto my street. Maybe more signs posting a speed limit would help with that or speed bumps like the ones hillside uses to deter speeding. Just a recommendation because I don't want to be involved in a accident because someone is speeding in my neighborhood. Not to the mention the tons of children playing in the area. I hope the town can help to reduce speed in our neighborhood for everyone's sake.
Construction damage to Noroton Ave ► Open257-269 Noroton Ave Darien, CT 06820, USAA long stretch of chewed up pavement and potholes have expanded in the northbound lane of Noroton across from new construction. Workers vehicles are parked in street making avoiding these holes difficult and dangerous.· Reported by M Roberts · Share · Flag Flagged
Crossing street dangerous ► Open204 Leroy Ave Darien, CT 06820, USAWith a new stop sign at the intersection of Leroy and Middlesex why wasn't a third added to make it a three way stop? Cars drive above the speed limit on the curve section making crossing Leroy extremely dangerous. Children walk to the high school from our street (Stony Brook Road)· Reported by Deb Ritchie · Share · Flag Flagged
Anonymous (Guest)It also is confusing when you are making a left onto Leroy from Middlesex via the triangle. The traffic stops from one direction but not the other. Seems as if it may lead to an accident.
Persistent Problem ► Open1067-1095 Boston Post Rd Darien, CT 06820, USAEnforce right turn only at Post Rd./Corbin Drive.· Reported by Darien Driver · Share · Flag Flagged
Darien Resident (Guest)This is a serious issue daily, too much traffic and people either cut you off trying to get into the correct lane. Or people just go straight instead of turning right as they legally should. PD should monitor this and start writing tickets.
ctaudigrl (Guest)This is a big issue too may times people at this and several other right turn only lanes decide to just use it to blow through traffic,
New No left turn sign ► Open899-925 Post Rd Darien, CT 06820, USASign for Left turn off Post road on to West Ave is dull. Many driver do not read it!!

Michelle Wie:
Will make a run at qualifying for the MEN'S U.S. Open at the sectional in NJ today. Over 36 holes, Wie must finish in the Top 18 (in 153-player field).
The Lead Item
Two Words For You:
Desperately needed
after 2005's Spurs-Pistons dud of appeal, these Finals represent the most entertaining pairing (at least, on paper) since the Jordan Era.
Since '99, there have been five truly
Finals teams out of 14 total: The '99 Knicks and the 4 Shaq-Kobe-Phil Lakers teams.
Those five teams were never matched up with particularly energizing opponents:
*The Regulars
like the Spurs (no personality) and the Pistons (no O), who won titles but did it stultifyingly. (Please save your talk about "Right Ways" and "Big Fundamentals." Fans vote with the remote.)
*The One-Hit Wonders
like the '00 Pacers and '01 Sixers, who might have had star power (Reggie Miller, Allen Iverson), but who also had no chance of winning.
*And, finally, the Nets,
worthy of their own brutal category for having the distinction of being swept by the Lakers in 2002, followed by pairing with the Spurs in 2003 for the lowest-rated NBA Finals ever.
But this year offers
a pairing unique to this decade:
teams bring a high entertainment value, along with bonafide fan and expert uncertainty about a result.
Miami offers the star wattage of those great Lakers teams (no surprise: Shaq), but replaces the petulant Kobe with the sublime Dwyane Wade. It showcases fading stars desperate for one last shot at a ring (Payton, Mourning). And it features a telegenic coach, Pat Riley, managing his historic third different NBA Finals team.
But unlike previous years, this time there's an almost equally compelling team on the other side:
Dirk Nowitzki has had a breakthrough, "call-me-by-first-name-only" season: 3rd-place finish in MVP voting, followed up with the top individual performance of the playoffs so far: Coming off his worst game of the season, his 50-point game in pivotal Game 5 vs. the Suns.
The team is led by the NBA Coach of the Year, Avery Johnson, in his first full season, no less. And the deep roster is layered with castoffs (Keith Van Horn), malcontents (Jerry Stackhouse), and reclamation projects (DeSagana Diop).
Meanwhile, off the court (and sometimes standing just a few feet away from it), the Mavs showcase Mark Cuban, the best (and most enthusiastic) owner in sports. This is the stage Cuban has been waiting for since he became an NBA owner. The series' off days might be more entertaining than the games; it'll be hilarious to watch Cuban take on Shaq, Riley and -- undoubtedly -- the entire city of Miami.
Mavs depth or Heat glitter?
There isn't even fan consensus:
On SportsNation's official poll, 58 percent of fans think the Mavs will win the series. But on ESPN.com's front-page poll, the split is 53-47 in favor of the Heat. (I agree: I have a man-crush on Cuban, but how does Dallas solve Shaq? Miami in 6.)
Regardless, 88 percent of fans think the series will be a "good" one (with 34 percent predicting a "classic").
And between the star power, the novelty of TWO first-time Finalists, the personalities and -- best of all -- the uncertainty over the result, this has the potential to be the perfect capper to the best NBA playoffs season of the decade.
MLB: Pu-HURT?!
"Pujols 74" derailed!
And I thought "oblique" only referred to the baseless allusions from cynics about the source of Pujols' power.
Now, he's going on the 15-day DL for the first time in his career -- and it will be enough of a delay to derail his assault on Bonds' 73.
Rick Smith: Broncos Asst GM to be named GM of Texans
Carl Pettersson: Wins PGA Memorial, qualifies for US Open
Venus Williams: Last American player left at French Open
Ricky Williams: 7 yards on 4 carries in CFL exhib'n debut
AJ Nicholson: Charged with burglarizing ex-FLA St 'mate
"Diploma mills": NCAA bans sketchy dozen prep schools
(Of course, I'm bummed: I had been
looking forward
to that being the big conversation in baseball later this season. The new top contender for "Hottest Topic?" I'd say Clemens.)
Braves woes: Foreshadowing?
It's dangerous to read too much into things, but maybe it's a signal of the impending end of the Braves' divisional dynasty that they suffered a 4-game sweep for the first time since '95. Bobby Cox called it "the worst series we have ever had here."
(Meanwhile, maybe it's also a signal that the 1st-place D'backs are legit; it was Arizona's first-ever 4-game sweep in Atlanta.)
Halladay as "Robo-pitcher":
That's what Rays manager Joe Maddon called him after the Jays ace stifled Tampa (8 IP, 5 H, 2 ER), racking up a 6-0 record in 9 GS since returning from early-season injury. His AL Cy to lose?
(Speaking of robo-pitchers, the Padres' Chris Young has been automatic in his last two starts: 16 IP, 0ER, 3H, 12K, 3BB. Remember: the Padres stole Young from the Rangers for Adam Eaton, who has yet to pitch this season.)
Game of the Day: Sox-Yanks.
(What else?) The big question is the Yankees' health: Jeter is expected to play after suffering yet another injury to his hand by a ball; A-Rod and Giambi are more questionable, both suffering stomach viruses. (Wait: I think the medical term is "Butterflies?")
Softball World Series
Northwestern women's sports
have done a 180-degree turn. Wow, have they ever:
Midway through May, it hit a low point when pictures of women's soccer hazing rituals were posted online, sparking ugly "Jocks Gone Wild!" PR and forcing the team to issue an apology after being suspended by the school.
Since then, the dominant women's lacrosse team won a back-to-back national title; their most scandalous moment came in 2005 when some team members wore flip-flops to the White House.
(Ahh, the good old days when "LAX scandal" meant open-toed shoes at a reception.)
Now, Northwestern women's athletics gets a second boost: The softball team upended perennial power UCLA and will face Arizona for the best-of-3 College Softball World Series title, beginning tonight (8 p.m. ET, ESPN2).
NU proves the best antidote for humiliation is championships.
Now, speaking of college lacrosse scandals ...
Duke LAX: Return?
If Duke is going to reinstate
the team, as early as this week, I'd suggest the following conditions:
*Nightly midnight curfew
*No more than two players may live together (no team "houses")
*Random blood-alcohol tests
*Recruiting oversight board
*"Voluntary" community service
I'm not treating them
like criminals. I'm treating them like a group of players whose team culture is so broken that everyone should agree that it deserves to be TRIED to be fixed.
Pistons: What Next?
Re-signing Ben Wallace
seems like a no-brainer (even though he couldn't stop his top rival when it mattered), so the Pistons are left with one truly burning offseason question:
What, if anything, do they do about Flip Saunders?
His first year started so well ("HE'S no Larry Brown!") and ended so badly ("He's NO Larry Brown!"). Based on the way things went downhill, I might suggest a new nickname: "Flip Squanders."
Is this otherwise stable franchise ready to dump its coach after one year for, say, Bill Laimbeer?
World Cup Mania!
Kicking off a week of Quickie World Cup previews!
Today: Top 5 Storylines
Jogo Bonito
In Portuguese, it means "beautiful game," and it represents the way that Brazil plays: For a U.S. sports equivalent, imagine if you combined the tricks from "Streetball" with the talent of an NBA All-Star roster. Brazil is the overwhelming favorite.
2. U.S. Step Forward or Back?
Here's an irony: This U.S. squad might be the most talented since the team hit the scene in 1994. And yet, they'll be hard-pressed to match 2002's run into the quarterfinals. Placement in this Cup's "Group of Death" (with Italy, Ghana and the Czechs) has experts bearish on their prospects for advancement. Is experience a consolation prize?
3. The Scourge of Racism
Unapologetic fan racism against players (mostly in Europe) is the biggest embarrassment in worldwide sports today. And how will FIFA react?
4. The World (Wide Web) Cup
With almost every game taking place during daytime (work) hours in the U.S., fans (who care) will follow the action online, creating the potential for a surprise office sensation.
It won't be nearly the workday event that the first two days of the NCAA Tournament are, but instant online highlights and analysis at work might do more for fan interest than if the games were on TV at night, to be ignored at home.
5. And Yet: Do You Even Care?
While the rest of the world takes the month off to follow the tournament, most fans in the U.S. don't (or can't or won't) understand the mania. Other reasons to watch: Goal celebrations, hairstyles, fan insanity.
To really catch on in the U.S., I've got two words for fans who want their friends and colleagues to care about the World Cup: Office pool.
Even if you know nothing about soccer, you can't resist picking a bracket in your office pool. The round-robin opening round makes a bracket difficult, but the 16-team knockout rounds set it up perfectly.
Bob Uecker:
In a scary twist on Uecker's delusional "I must be in the front row!" beer-ad character, Uecker had to take out a restraining order on a stalker (via Smoking Gun).

http://skiwhitefish.com (877) SKI-FISH
4 of us (2 couples) in our 30's visited Whitefish over presidents day week friday to friday. We stayed at Crestwood condo's between town and the resort. We rode the train in from Minnesota. Didn't rent a car so we relied on the ski bus to get to the mtn and taxi to get to town. Each taxi trip was about $10. We spent far less this route rather than renting a car. All the bus drivers were very friendly and gave us good tips for enjoying the area while not skiing. In turn we tipped them well also. Of the 3 skiers and 1 boarder we all enjoyed the diversity of the terrain. I am a significantly more advanced skiier that the others. On the first morning all of us took a ski with a couple of the Embassadors to get a good look at the mtn. I would suggest this for your first trip to the mtn. We skiid together for the first day then my wife and I wanted to tackle some more advanced terrain. It worked great to split up and plan on meeting for luch at the Hellroaring Saloon. Great staff, food and booze. On the 3rd day after staying up too late and many too many cocktails the others decided it'd be a good day for the hot tub, pool and a stroll around town. Not me, I was there to ski hard. That morning I hooked up with an Embassador again for an introduction to more advanced terrain since my wife was not allong. The Embassador was great and took me into the trees for some incredibly deep lines. She also showed me some good intermediate trees to get my wife into some pow for next few days. We did have some fog to deal with but not bad, like the other posters have mentioned it is pretty easy to find good visibility somewhere on the mtn. There were definately a good number of people on the mtn over the weekend but we nearly had the place to ourselves the rest of the week. Never did we wait more than 5 minutes for a chair anywhere on the mtn, even on the busiest days. My favorite advanced areas where the hellroaring basin, east rim and elephants graveyard. There was a lot of great intermediate terrain that I could slide off into the bumps and trees and reconnect with my wife at the end of the run. I would have liked to have better conditions to ski the advanced terrain on the front side. It was pretty chunky and no one was skiing it. The back was incredible though. All in all we had a great experience at Whitefish Mtn resort. I definately like the lack of the "show" crowd. You know, the look at me and my fancy car, fancy equipment, fancy clothes and no skill type! I will definately go back. But living in the plains and only getting to the mtns once a year makes me want to check out other ski areas before going back to Whitefish. What it comes down to is go up the mtn, ski hard, party, have fun, respect others and be thankfull God has given us the opportunity to experience such a beautiful mountain!

I'm not sure where to post this question, but hope that somebody knows the answer :)
The case: on a post edit screen I have a second area for rich editing created with wp_editor (but it has it's own ID) inside metabox, and I need to be able to use add-media button with this second area to insert images from media library. But it does not work properly - the button opens media library dialogue, I can select images but the markup is not appeared in the textarea after selection.
Does this case mean that new WP 3.5 insert media UI does not support multiple wp_editor instances on the sampe page? Or I'm just doing it wrong? Is it intended behaviour?
UPD: I've found that it happens because I've run wp_editor with media buttons but without quicktags and visual edtor is disabled. Is it intended behaviour?
