Abdullah Boycotts Afghanistan Vote Review Amid Crisis
Afghan presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah boycotted the results of a United Nations-backed vote audit, jeopardizing a power-sharing deal brokered by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry last month.
Abdullah's campaign said the United Nations failed to adhere to its requests on how fraudulent votes in the June 14 election should be invalidated, Sayed Fazel Sancharaki, a spokesman for Abdullah, said by phone. Abdullah will rejoin the process if an agreement with the UN is reached, he said.
"If we don't reach an agreement, here we end the process of the election," Sancharaki said.
Abdullah's move threatens to trigger unrest in Asia's poorest country and further delay the signing of a security pact to keep U.S. troops in Afghanistan beyond this year. At stake is billions of dollars to fight Taliban insurgents who want to retake power when the U.S. pulls out.
The vote invalidation process was halted for a time because Abdullah's election observers weren't present at the Independent Election Commission of Afghanistan's office, IEC spokesman Noor Mohammad Noor said by phone.
The process later resumed and "will now proceed to its conclusion without the direct engagement of representatives of either presidential candidate in the physical audit," Nicholas Haysom, the UN secretary-general's special representative to Afghanistan, said in an e-mailed statement from the world body.
The election commission has less than a week to finish deciding on the validity of 8 million votes before a new president is set to be inaugurated on Sept. 2.
'Credible Audit'
The U.S. wants a new Afghan president in place before the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's summit in Wales on Sept. 4-5. That would enable the next leader to request funds for Afghan security forces.
"The United Nations today pledged to redouble its support to Afghan electoral authorities in order for the expeditious completion of a thorough and credible audit of the presidential run-off elections of 14 June," the UN said in the statement.
Ghani's camp is discussing the matter and will respond later, spokesman Faizullah Zaki said by phone.
More than 70 percent of about 23,000 ballot boxes have undergone audits, the UN said Aug. 25. The IEC is deciding on the validity of some 8 million ballots cast, it said.
While Afghan President Hamid Karzai has refused to sign an agreement to keep U.S. and allied troops, both Ghani and Abdullah have said they would do so. Foreign grants pay for about 50 percent of the Afghan government's expenditures, according to World Bank estimates.
Power-Sharing Agreement
Under the power-sharing agreement, the losing candidate would become chief executive officer, a new position that would report to the president. The CEO's role eventually would become executive prime minister after constitutional changes are approved.
Obama plans to reduce U.S. forces in Afghanistan to 9,800 by the end of this year, with only a small force at the embassy by the end of 2016, when he will be preparing to leave office. Thirteen years of the U.S. fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan has cost 2,342 American lives, as of Aug. 25, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

I think that there are laws defining American Indians. As far as Mexicans and African Americans and other minorities, your kids can claim if s/he wants to. However, there are 3 issues:
1. If your kids claim that they are Chinese American, Korean American etc., their SAT will be reduced by 200 points.
2. If your kids claim to be minority, they will be silently discriminated by most aerospace companies, in particular those managers that are Vietnam vets. After all, if you were shot by Vietnamese, will you hire somebody who looks like Vietnamese? Now, most universities engineering departments have 30% Chinese and Korean American students. Does your department has 30% Chinese and Korean American engineers?
3. If your kids claim to be minority to advance, it reflects on you as a failure.

I'm used to using commands such as
route and so forth on linux to check and change network information. However I know there is an
ip command (with various subcommands). I heard somewhere this is 'The right way' now. Any particular reason why I should ditch ifconfig/route/etc? What's your preference? Is there anything one set can do that the others can't?
I'm used to using commands such as
i think you cannot access more advanced iproute2 features [ for instance multiple routing tables, routing based on src address or filter ] using ipconfig+route.
for me syntax of ip is much more logical and easier to use.
The command
Their manifesto:
In short it combines a number of different legacy interfaces and provides access to newer features such as policy based routing. With the benefit of a more consistent command set.
iproute will eventually supersede ifconfig et al. currently there is little difference, but the syntax of ip is (at least for me) way more readable.
ifconfig and route are available on all Unixes under the sun (oh oh oh) since 1985 or so (and even on non-unixes, route exists under windows too). ip is overall better, but still uncommon except on recent linux distros. So what? know both ways and hope that everyone will switch to ip soon :)

Shares of virtualization technology vendor VMware (VMW) are up 43 cents, or 0.6%, at $72.89, following mixed coverage of the stock in the last 24 hours, with an upgrade from Morgan Stanley and a downgrade from Citigroup. The the ratings changes were actually resumption of coverage by both banks, following last week's better-than-expected Q2 report from the company, and also the closing of Dell's acquisition of EMC (EMC), VMware's majority owner. Yesterday's note from Morgan Stanley was from the pen of Keith Weiss, who reinstated the stock with an Overweight rating, and an $86 price target.

Mario Kart Wii being used in US school road safety classes
Vail Christian High School is teaching its students road safety using none other than Mario Kart Wii.
Apparently, the class is called "distracted and drowsy driving project" and kids use the steering wheel peripheral whilst trying to send text messages etc. and smashing into walls and other motorists.
"The whole focus of Vail Christian High School's traffic safety project is about distracted driving," said Kim Greene of the Vail Valley Medical Center.
"With the way Alli is driving, rarely on the road and often crashing into computerized cows, the program seems to be driving home the point," added Colorado 9 News.
We only needed David Prowse MBE we we were kids.

NAIROBI, Kenya Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Monday that Kenya's feuding political parties must share power in a coalition government, increasing the pressure for a speedy resolution to the country's political crisis.
After separate meetings with President Mwai Kibaki and opposition leader Raila Odinga, Rice said that both men needed to make concessions to end a seven-week stalemate after Kibaki was declared the winner of a questionable election. She indicated that the U.S. government would provide additional funding to rebuild the country once there's an agreement.
"We are prepared to do more for reconstruction, resettlement of people, rehabilitation of infrastructure," Rice said. "The current stalemate ... (is) not going to permit business as usual with the United States."
President Bush dispatched Rice to signal U.S. support for mediation efforts led by former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan. Bush's efforts to highlight U.S.-led successes in health and development in Africa have been undermined by the instability in Kenya, a key ally, where ethnic violence triggered by the disputed election has killed more than 1,000 people and forced hundreds of thousands from their homes.
Annan also has called for a coalition government. However, as negotiations enter a fourth week, the two sides remain far apart on what such a system would look like.
Odinga, who charges that Kibaki stole the Dec. 27 presidential election through widespread vote-rigging a claim backed by many international observers wants to share executive power in a newly created prime minister position. Kibaki says he won fairly and has offered only to give Odinga's party positions in his Cabinet, which he has already half filled.
Expressing impatience with both sides, Rice said that Kenyans needed a resolution "yesterday" and urged Kibaki and Odinga former allies to compromise.
"The parties that come to any kind of coalition have to actually have responsibilities and authorities that matter," Rice said. "It can't be...simply the illusion of power sharing."

Kuching (20 - 23 May 2010)
Kuching has never crossed my mind as a holiday destination, but in the spirit to explore new places, I decided to just go.
And boy am I taken by surprise what I found there. First of all, the city is surprisingly modern (my impression was that it's a rustic place); secondly, i'm astounded by the depth of the locals' hospitality; next, there's surprisingly lots to do there; and lastly, i got a big surprise for my 36th b day! :o)
Here's Day 1 and Day 2 of my 4 days 3 nights there. The album contains images of Kuching's Waterfront and Bako National Park.
The experiences on this trip were more than I could ask for in a perfect holiday... the kind that leaves you physically drained out, but makes your heart smile each time you think of it.

Bril莲t Blooms
I love lotuses. Not just for the way they look but the meaning they hold. In a non-Buddhist or religious way, flowers represent the enlightment of a plant; much like the awakening of a human being when he/she understood his/her soul.
But lotuses, growing in muddy and filthy waters, have the added symbolism of rising out of dirt with clean blooms untouched by the filth they came from.
So when I saw the lotus pond at KKH in full bloom the other day, my fingers have been itching to capture these brilliant blooms.
May we, like the lotuses, go through the murkiest depth of our human existence and still emerge pristine, untouched, and enlightened...

Bangkok never ceases to amuse and amaze me. Even though I've been there many times, there're still new things to discover.
Though my recent trip was for 5 days 4 nights, I effectively only had 3 full days there. So it was kind of rush as I've planned quite a bit to see.
Unfortunately, my eyes swelled up for no apparent reason on the third day so I missed going to the ancient city. That was my highlight in this visit. Sigh...
Well, that gives me the reason to visit again! Woohoo! This trip, I visited some places off the popular tourist tracks and caught some delicious sights. Here's a record for the lesser known side of Bangkok...

Two-dimensional (2-D) edge detection can be performed by applying a suitably selected optimal edge half-filter in n directions. Computationally, such a two-dimensional n-directional filter can be represented by a pair of real masks, that is, by one complex-number matrix, regardless of the number of filtering directions, n. Specific calculations of the edge strength were conducted using a 2-D tridirectional filter based on a Petrou-Kittler (1991) one-dimensional (1-D) detector optimized for the ramp edges, which are characteristic of posterior eye capsule images that were used here as a test set. In applications to image segmentation, tridirectional filtering results in co-occurrence arrays of low dimensionality

Miley Cyrus and Justin Gaston's Movies Bond
Miley Cyrus clears up the persistent Justin Gaston dating speculation, telling Access Hollywood's Maria Menounos that their loves for movies are the only reason why they become close friends. "He's just like my best friend," she insists.
Speaking of their loves for movies, Miley credits Justin as the reason why she likes her upcoming animation-comedy flick "Bolt" very much. "He's actually one of the reasons I love this movie so much, we have like a big DVD thing, we collect all Walt Disney movies, cause we love animations," Miley tells Maria. "We're so excited to see ['Bolt'], just cause we really are great friends."
Asked to clarify the circulating rumors claiming she and Justin are lovers, Miley claims, "We're kinda just like ... like I said, we don't really feel like [there's] a reason to tell everyone what our personal life is." She continues, "whatever happens, in our personal life, we keep it between us. But our friendship, we like everyone to know about, because it's great to have a friend like him."
In another Miley Cyrus news, she has been confirmed to perform on the season 7 finale of ABC's dancing competition series "Dancing with the Stars". She is expected to sing "Fly on the Wall", the new song on her sophomore major studio album "Breakout". The finale show will be aired on November 25 at 9/8c.

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Jason Lawrence scored a power-play goal with 14.4 seconds left, and Boston University advanced to the Frozen Four for the first time in 12 years, beating New Hampshire 2-1 on Sunday in the Northeast Regional final.
The Terriers (33-6-4), the only one of the four top-seeded teams remaining in the tournament, will face Hockey East rival Vermont in the national semifinals on Thursday, April 9, at The Verizon Center in Washington.
With New Hampshire's James van Riemsdyk off for hooking, Lawrence fired the puck into the crease and Wildcats Jerry Pollastrone -- sprawled on the ice -- knocked it into the goal with his left hand.
Freshman Kieran Millan made 27 saves for BU, allowing only Bobby Butler's second-period goal. Corey Trivino opened the scoring for the Terriers in the first period.
Boston University, seeking its fifth national title and first since 1995, opened NCAA play Saturday with an 8-3 victory over Ohio State. The Terriers won the Hockey East regular-season and playoff titles.
New Hampshire, also from Hockey East, finished the season 20-13-5.

BEAUTIFULAmaaazing product! By far, this is the simplest as well as most useful product that I have purchased. For those who require typing stuff from documents or other papers, this is a Must-Have.

Cute Paper StandThe product is compact, looks good. Can accommodate up to A5 sized papers (via clip), but not A4-size as the support is not that 'wide'. Perhaps, if the A4-paper is straight enough (and not folded) then it might stand. This paper-stand is heavy enough to serve as a paper-weight as well, which is an added 'bonus'. The workmanship seems to be good.

China Housing Prices Inch Lower
SHANGHAI—China's housing prices in September recorded a modest month-over-month decline for the first time this year, according to a private market-data provider, indicating that the central government's campaign to cool the housing market had achieved some success in moderating prices.
Housing prices in 100 major cities in China were a tad lower, or 0.03% down in September, after a largely flat month-over-month reading in August, China Real Estate Index System said Saturday.
The data provider said a survey of property developers and real-estate agencies showed that the average home price in September was a touch lower at 8,877 yuan ($1,392) per square meter from 8,880 yuan in August and but slightly higher than July's 8,874 yuan.
The survey, which the company compiles together with online real-estate brokerage SouFun Holdings Ltd. SFUN -2.76 % , is watched widely since China scrapped a national property price index in January.
Property developers in China are facing increased pressure from slowing sales and analysts said that credit conditions are expected to become increasingly severe for property developers.
Housing sales in major cities have slowed in recent months, after China implemented a series of measures to curb property speculation, including higher interest rates and limits on house purchases, as part of efforts to make homes more affordable and to head off potential social instability.
Property developers are facing a grim year ahead, with a likely slump in project starts set to drag on broader economic growth, said Capital Economics, adding that "policymakers have plenty of room to ease policy if growth begins to falter. Whatever the long-run health of the housing market, its current problems are mainly the result of deliberate government efforts to reduce speculative purchases and property construction."
China Real Estate Index System said property prices in 54 cities grew in September compared with the previous month, while 44 cities posted a decline. In August, property prices in 56 cities recorded month-over-month gains.
Compared with a year earlier, average prices for new property in September climbed 6.2%, a slower increase than August's 6.9% rise.
Prices in China's 10 largest cities averaged 15,786 yuan per square meter in September, largely unchanged compared to August. Cities such as Chongqing, Tianjin, Chengdu, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Shenzhen recorded modest monthly declines, the data provider said.
The National Bureau of Statistics is scheduled to issue September data for residential property prices in 70 major cities Oct. 18.

Chow All-Purpose Pizza: Bringing it to the CD
posted by February 2 at 14:28 PMon
Hello! This week's issue brings a fresh installment of Food Fight, the Stranger Food Quarterly which this season is devoted to places that will deliver food to your home.
Among the many venues featured in the package are delivery joints in Capitol Hill, Ballard, West Seattle, and the South Lake Union/Fremont/Wallingford triangle.
One place conspicuously absent from the Central District piece: All-Purpose Pizza, the beloved pizza joint at 2901 S. Jackson, whose absence from Food Fight has nothing to do with All-Purpose's grub (which is recognized as delicious) and everything to do with Chris McCann's recent Chow lead on the joint.
So, to clarify: All-Purpose Pizza exists, is good, and would be happy to bring one of their sourdough-crust pizzas to your home anywhere in the Central District and beyond. (The official delivery area runs from Madison to Orcas St. (north-south) and from 12th Ave to Lakeside Ave S, east-west.)

Description: "Mesrine: Killer Instinct" charts the outlaw odyssey of Jacques Mesrine, the legendary French gangster of the 1960s and 1970s who came to be known as French Public Enemy No. 1 and The Man of a Thousand Faces. Infamous for his bravado and daring prison escapes, Mesrine carried out robberies, kidnappings and murders in a criminal career that spanned continents until he was shot dead in 1979 by France's notorious anti-gang unit. Thirty years after his death, his infamy lives on. Mesrine was helped along the way by beautiful and equally reckless Jeanne Schneider, a Bonnie to match his Clyde. Mesrine made up his own epic, between romanticism and cruelty, flamboyance and tragedy. "Killer Instinct" explores the man behind the icon.

Refinancing basically means applying for a secured loan which is in compensation for an existing loan earned from the same assets. If you would like to secure a new loan which is available at a lower interest rate than the original loan taken at fixed interest rate mortgage, refinancing is a great option to go with.
Mortgage Refinancing is an option in front of you when you need to pay off your earlier loan. But for mortgage refinancing, you need to keep certain items under mortgage like house, etc. But this is a viable option only when interest money saved is equal to or greater than refinancing fees. Mortgage has a lot of benefits. Firstly it provides you with extra cash in your hand and at the same time reduces the monthly mortgage payment.

Morning, Anniephans.
"The name's Warbucks… Oliver Warbucks."
And, as a fan of the musical (and former high school Daddy Warbucks), I had to laugh out loud at the last panel!
I still say we need a live-action, action-adventure weekly Annie TV series, focusing on all this espionage and political intrigue. "Codename Orphan Annie" or somesuch. :)
I'd like it and probably CGI or cartoon. But live action could work only it is more expensive. Like I said there are similarities to "Jonny Quest" in these latter stories.

Former Cherokee County deputy arraigned in federal court on two-count indictment
Published: Wednesday, January 22, 2014 at 2:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 22, 2014 at 2:50 p.m.
GREENVILLE - An ex-Cherokee County sheriff's deputy was arraigned in federal court Wednesday amid a S.C. Law Enforcement Division investigation into corruption.
Michael Todd Parker, 35, a 14-year veteran of the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office, faces one count of converting property of another for own use and one count of interference with commerce by threat of violence, according to the indictment.
The indictment was handed down Jan. 14 and stems from a case that accused Parker of acquiring electronic gambling machines and selling them for his personal gain, rather than turning them in as contraband, said Cherokee County Sheriff Steve Mueller.
"He was trying to reap the benefits," Mueller said.
Allegations of Parker's misconduct came about when Gaffney Police Department officers investigated a burglary to a store and found video poker machines inside the establishment. Store owners had told officers they purchased the machines from Parker, Mueller said.
Gaffney police reported the case to SLED, which notified the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office.
Mueller said the initial burglary investigation began Aug. 4 and Parker was fired Aug. 8, just prior to SLED interviewing Parker for its investigation.
He was terminated for conduct unbecoming of an officer, according to Mueller.
"We're glad to get rid of that bad egg," said Mueller. "We are not going to tolerate employees who will put themselves on the other side of the law."
Parker, of Gaffney, was a part of the sheriff's office's criminal investigations division. He was awarded the Solicitor's Award for Cherokee County Law Enforcement Excellence in 2004. He also received the Cherokee County Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse's DUI award for 2002 and 2003.
Mueller said Parker's indictment does not represent the overall level of integrity held by Cherokee County deputies.
"This is no reflection on the job that these men and women do every day. … When this happens, it impacts every police agency in the country … Part of what I ran on as sheriff was to maintain the public's trust," said Mueller.
The two counts of corruption carry a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison, according to Beth Drake, a U.S. Department of Justice spokeswoman.
Escorted by two U.S. Marshals, Parker wore a black hooded sweatshirt and had handcuffs on his wrists and ankles during Wednesday's hearing.
Parker waived the reading of his charges and penalties and entered a plea of not guilty.
Federal Magistrate Judge Kevin McDonald set a $25,000 unsecured bond for Parker during Wednesday's arraignment. The unsecured bond does not require Parker to pay the amount to be released from federal custody but requires him to follow a set of conditions to avoid having his bond revoked.
Conditions include refraining from excessive alcohol consumption, being subject to drug testing, refraining from possessing firearms and surrendering a U.S. passport, McDonald said.
Family members who attended the hearing declined to comment outside the courtroom.
"They don't have anything to say," said James Loggins, a federal public defender who provided council to Parker Wednesday.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Break out the bubbly, the Chicago Bears finally won a preseason game!
(Shuffles papers, examines Internet, calls the NFL for clarification.)
Wait a second, this was a regular-season game. No wonder we got the "a win is a win" treatment after the game.
Well, that's even better. Break out the good champagne, the stuff from Target.
Forgive my confusion, but after watching two horrible quarterbacks struggle to complete a forward pass in 80-degree weather in a half-empty stadium, well, this sure felt like a meaningless game in August.
But the Bears' 23-6 victory over winless Carolina actually makes them 4-1, which is even sweeter considering Green Bay blew a game to the Redskins and fell to 3-2.
If Jay Cutler were playing instead of the very mortal Todd Collins on a sunny, warm Sunday at Bank of America Stadium, the Bears might have won this game by 30.
Obviously Vegas has a good read on Collins' limitations, because Carolina, with a rookie quarterback, was favored by 2½ points as of Sunday morning.
Some would call that a classic "trap game" spread -- the Panthers looked good in a loss to New Orleans while the Bears were coming off a beating in New Jersey -- but to Lovie Smith, who coaches defense and practices self-defense on reporters, it was bulletin board material.
"To come on the road, a 3-1 team, and you're underdogs, it was kind of a slap in the face a little bit," Smith said.
The Bears ended thoughts of an upset by taking a 17-3 lead in the first quarter. The rest of the game was a morass, and Collins' play made it worse, so it didn't feel like a dominating win for Chicago. The sounds in the press box were groans and laughter.
In a city that grinds its teeth worrying about third-down conversions and backup tackles, the main storyline leading up to this week wasn't Julius Peppers' return to Charlotte, or the Bears' defense against a feckless Jimmy Clausen. It was the absence of Cutler, who was ruled out midweek, still recovering from a concussion after the beating he took in last week's horrible 17-3 loss to the Giants.
Cutler's absence opened the window, if only a crack, for the Panthers.
Just when you thought it couldn't get worse than Cutler getting sacked nine times while throwing 11 passes in the swamp, in came Collins, who did everything he could to give the paying crowd a reason to stick around after halftime.
The aging Collins, who reportedly played behind Tom Harmon at Michigan, made Henry Burris cry with his woeful stat line and 6.2 quarterback rating.
Collins completed six passes to the Bears (for 32 yards) and four to the Panthers in three quarters. His misses weren't even close. It's a little disconcerting that the Bears pursued him and gave him a six-figure guarantee to come to training camp.
He didn't mince words after the game.
"Pretty bad. Poor. One of the worst I've ever had," Collins said. "But fortunately it didn't cost us a win."
Collins got the job over Caleb Hanie because of his experience in the league. It didn't show. After a decade and a half of mostly holding clipboards on the sidelines, Collins looked so bad he made Clausen (9-for-22, 61 yards, five sacks, one interception) look at least 37 percent less bumbling. Collins was mercifully pulled late in the third quarter.
"Todd's performance?" Smith said. "Too many turnovers, that part is probably obvious."
That the passing game was disappointing for the third straight week shouldn't be the issue here, because no one with a hold on reality expected Collins to be any good.
While the Bears practiced caution with their sulky QB this past week, Cutler's head would have to be hanging off his neck for him not to start next week against the Seahawks.
The good news for the offense is that while the passing game was a throwback to the bad ol' days, the running game finally arrived, with resident genius Mike Martz forced to use such quirky innovations as handoffs and pitches.
Matt Forte scored two touchdowns in the first quarter, from 18 yards out and a career-high 68. He had 101 of the team's 122 rushing yards in the first quarter, and finished with 166 of the team's 218.
Forte had only 134 yards coming in, while high-priced free agent Chester Taylor had only 19 carries for 66 yards. He finished with 18 rushes for 43 yards.
"We don't pay attention to doubters," Forte said. "We know what we can do. We know we're a talented offense and we can throw the ball and run the ball. It's a matter of executing and doing it."
I guess Forte means they don't pay attention to Martz, who has all but ignored the run before this game. Maybe that's just an effect of the quality of carries early in games, but there's no arguing the Martzers of the Midway are a passing team first and second.
Smith and Martz tried to tap dance around the expected focus on the run, but no one bought it. With Cutler shelved, how much time did they spend preparing to run the ball in practice?
"The same as was spent passing the ball last week, so it was kind of opposite," Forte said, smiling. "We knew we wanted to run the ball and we did it. It made it easier on offense for us [to] run the ball first and then try to pass the ball."
While Martz is off-limits to the media until Wednesday, Smith had a sense of humor about the evolving identity of the offense.
"I'm not saying we're getting off the bus running the ball or anything," Smith said. "I'm staying away from those comments. Today we were able to, and we needed to."
"So old school," Danieal Manning observed. "Just ground and pound. The best team won."
Indeed, the passing game was the only thing missing from a solid win.
Special teams was a throwback, with Robbie Gould hitting three field goals, including a 53-yarder. Manning started the game with a 62-yard kickoff return and Devin Hester added a 50-yard punt return, which ended, embarrassingly enough, in a Collins pick at the 1-yard line.
The defense harassed Clausen as expected, with Peppers tipping and picking off Clausen's first pass in such jaw-dropping fashion, you can see why the Bears are paying him $20 million this season.
The Panthers ran nine times for 60 yards on their first drive, but once the Bears established an early lead, DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart were all but shut down. Carolina finished with 85 rushing yards on 25 carries. And with Clausen running and chucking for his life, Carolina had only 147 total yards.
"They got six points, we played well," Peppers said. "That's what you play for, to keep the score down. We don't play to get sacks and keep them down in yards. The most important thing is to keep them out of the end zone. That's one thing we're proud of, because I think that's the first time we did that this year."
"That was definitely some old-school Bear ball where you ran the football, played great defense, got some turnovers, some takeaways, and special teams contributed," Smith said. "We know how to win games that way and it was good to see we could still do that."
Five games into the season, we know the Bears' defense is legit and that the return game has some bite. But that's about all we know for sure.
And this game wasn't much of a measuring stick, because the Panthers looked like the worst team in the NFL for most of the afternoon.
This was a game the Bears had to win, obviously, and a game to endure, and the Bears did both. There is really little to complain about going into next week's game.
So while I wouldn't go waving the 4th Phase flag all over your neighborhood, it's not wrong to say the Bears deserve to be 4-1, and as crazy as it sounds, considering the way they've won these four games, they've earned the right to be called what they are, a first-place team.
I can't believe it either.

AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research Phase I research project addresses research and development into two-phase microfluidic behavior in resonating microtubes. Gas phase, or air bubble detection in intravenous drug lines is critical to preventing air embolisms and even death. Two-phase detection and damping problems have been reported in macroscopic Coriolis mass flow meters and in MEMS-based resonant tubes. There are experimental indications that microbubbles may be nucleating ultrasonically and then growing while attached to the interior of microfluidic resonant tubes. It is proposed to utilize resonant microtube technology to investigate the impact of gas phase formation and the gas liquid interaction and compensation for the associated damping as it applies to Coriolis mass flow and density measurement. This innovative research will improve bubble detection in liquid medication delivery systems and overcome problems experienced with two-phase damping in resonant sensing systems. The initial test bed will be for a MEMS-based, microfluidic drug delivery system. A new method of performing cell lysis and DNA analysis on small samples may be realized if cavitation can be controlled in the microtubes. The final goal is to successfully enable the commercialization of microfluidic Coriolis mass flow sensors and chemical concentration meters for industrial and medical applications. For this to happen the problems associated with gas phase detection and the two-phase damping must be overcome. This research has the potential of introducing a new means of detecting and measuring a second, gas phase in a liquid stream.

'Remember Trayvon Martin' Has Multiple Interpretations
The late 17-year-old's parents are marking the one-year anniversary of his death in NYC.
With various other polarizing injustices currently preoccupying the nation, the parents of late 17-year-old Trayvon Martin will solemnly call attention to his memory once again with a New York City vigil tonight, the one-year anniversary of his death. Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin will attend a gathering at 6 p.m. in Union Square Park, where a moment of silence is planned for 7:17 p.m., right around the time Trayvon was shot by George Zimmerman. "This is the first time in about five years that there has been no new Stand Your Ground laws enacted in any other states in America," family attorney Benjamin Crump noted on CNN last night. "So I say that is a plus for the advocacy for Trayvon Martin." On the Internet, reactions to the anniversary run the somewhat predictable spectrum from sincere to cynical to heartless, as sampled here:

I am looking for program which would allow me to backup data from Windows web server 2008 to cloud storage (Amazon, Rackspace and so on) - sites and mssql express backup files and automatically encrypt these files.
If what I know is correct that this functionality provides Jungle Disc or CloudBerry Backup Server or Zmanda Cloud Backup which are all commercial programs. I am looking for something open-source or at least free runing under .NET (or native application for windows) - no Java or something like this.
Does it exist?
Yes and of course: It would be nice if it was possible to decrypt backup on home computer.
I have found software on http://www.secobackup.com/downloads3.html which support Amazon S3 storage.

2014 BAFTA Award predictions
'Gravity,' '12 Years a Slave,' 'Philomena'... what will the Brits go for?
Best Supporting Actress
Gregory Ellwood, Guy Lodge and Kristopher Tapley predict: Lupita Nyong'o, "12 Years a Slave"
Lowdown: Jennifer Lawrence, who took the Globe in January, hasn't won a BAFTA yet, so if voters really love her flashy comic turn in "American Hustle" -- which they liked far more than we thought they would -- then the "too much too soon" factor won't count against her. Still, at this point in the season, Nyong'o has pulled ahead substantially in terms of buzz, and "Slave" is a likelier sweeper than "Hustle," so look for the Kenyan ingenue to deliver another beguiling acceptance speech on Sunday.

Niché dans les Rocheuses 33 miles à l'ouest de Denver, le Brook Forest Inn est un grand historique bed-and-breakfast aventure qui a été une véritable renaissance. Initialement homesteaded par le Westerfields en 1909 puis repris en 1913 par les Welzs, le Brook Forest Inn a été entièrement restauré à sa structure imposante d'origine. Avec un mobilier inégalée, des antiquités, beaux-arts et des équipements de classe mondiale, le personnel de l'Brook Forest Inn accorde une attention particulière à leurs clients, leur faire dorloter dans tous les sens. L'historique Brook Forest Inn, à ses débuts, était connu comme la destination élite par de nombreux Denverites. Ils voyageaient souvent trente-cinq miles à cheval et buggy. Une partie de l'élite inclus le président Theodore Roosevelt, Liberace, l'insubmersible Molly Brown et bien d'autres.

The customer service was outstanding. Great quiet place if you want to get away from the city.

Room was small but nice. Would not recommend for two people.

The location is great, very peaceful. Great place to get off the grid, absolutely no cell service. The hotel staff were very friendly and attentive. The pub was a great place to get a bite and a couple of drinks. We stayed in the Princess room which was on the front side of the hotel, lots of traffic noise during the busy time of day. There is no air conditioning, so you need to keep the window open for a cool breeze. There is cable TV in the room, but the TV is only about a 19" one. The continental breakfast was a little disappointing, the toast and coffee was the highlight. Overall I think it was a little overpriced for what you get.

This is one of the best experiances we have ever had at a Bed and Breakfast. The food was amazing, the in house bar was incredible and the room was very historic.

lets start with the not so good, the over all condition of the building could do with some serious updateing and a little more attention paid to the cleaning, and for the price the included breakfast could have been a little better than the stale muffins and bagels. Now that being said when we ate in the evening the food was awesome the service and staff was second to none and with being a beer drinker they had some top not beers, all in all I would recomend the Hotel/ Bed and Breakfast

We very much enjoyed the royale room and the lovely view of the brook. We stayed on a Monday so didn't get to eat but the dining space was beautiful. It was very quiet and restful, would definetly recommend.

The hotel owners went above and beyond to allow us late check in. The location and building are beautiful. We ordered the chips and salsa, they were not good. Over all it was a nice stay. Room prices were good.

We stayed in their smallest room the Franciscan. We were looking for something cheap because we knew we wouldn't be spending much time in the room. It was me and my finacée and it was pretty tight.im not complaining just letting you know. If you are claustrophobic this isn't the room for you but it was perfect for what we wanted. Service was really great. The people working were really friendly and always talked to us when they saw us. We didn't eat here so can't review the dining. Was happy with the product and it was worth the money. Evergreen is a beautiful town.

Stayed in the Mi Amore room which has a king size bed. The sides of the bed were against two walls and the only way to get in and out was at the end of the bed. This was very inconvenient for anyone but I would think especially so for older couples or those with bad knees . There was a closet to hang cloths but no dresser so we lived out of our suit cases. The room was also on the third floor directly over the main road so there was a fair amount of traffic noise. I asked if there was a possibility of changing rooms but they did not have anything else available as we were there the weekend of the "Jubilee". What was available was directly over the the room where the bands would be playing and was told that it would be very noisy until 1 am. The room were the Jacuzzi was located was huge and very nice and had instantaneous hot water. However the bathroom and shower was very small with very limited space to put tolietries and it took a long time before any hot water was available. The staff was very helpful and attentive which was the best part of our stay. As I found this place listed under Bed & Breakfast, I assumed that there would be a hot breakfast served in the morning. Unfortunately, it was a cold cereal and muffin affair similar to a Motel 6. We did not eat in the restaurant so we can not offer a review of the food or service. Overall we were not that impressed for the price John & Christine Weber

I made reservations at the Brook Forest Inn for my boyfriend's birthday. Neither of us had ever been to Evergreen before, and were pleasantly surprised at the little town. The inn itself, about 5 miles outside of town, was found after driving on a lovely winding road. The information in our room said that the inn was build in 1909, which made us curious to explore the grounds and the building. We were not disappointed in our findings. Our favorite part was the footbridge over the brook that led to a grassy area where we could sit and enjoy a view of the inn. That evening, as another group at the inn celebrated a birthday with five, yes five!, bands, we sat across the brook at watched the festivities. It was the perfect place: we could see the stars, enjoy the cool night air, listen to the bands, and even hear the babbling brook. Thank you for a great weekend away, and an unforgettable experience.
