The best case for the iPhone I have ever used!I have been using numerous cases like the original bumper, hard shell, soft jelly case etc.. but was never satisfied with them they would either provide minimal protection, will be ill fitting or would get damaged within a short period of time. Finally ordered the AMZER TPU case and have been using it since. (for a couple of months now)

I'm trying to put all my emacs configuration under version control in order to easily switch between different computers. Actually my preferred system is OSX (10.8.3) with emacs 24.3 from http://emacsformacosx.com/. But I can also work in other systems (more likely linux-based although different distribution ubuntu/scientific-linux) which generally are equipped with emacs 23.4. What I would like to have is a init file which check the version of emacs and the operating system, load the needed packages from emacs package manager. So far my .emacs init file for emacs 24.3 on OSX is as follow
(require 'package)
(setq package-archives '(
("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/")
("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/")
("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/")))
After that there are configuration (loaded separately as for example
(load "python-sy")
which uses some packages not installed as default: in particular
python.el (fgallina implementation)
plus some other things which relies in already built-in packages I admit that I have no idea on how to start for having a .emacs init file which could be used indifferently in all the devices. Furthermore I also would like to have a way to load url-proxy-services based on the system configuration
(setq url-proxy-services '(("http" . "proxy.server.com:8080")))
Thank you for any help

In this paper we propose a new approach for visualization-oriented fusion of hyperspectral image bands. The proposed technique has been devised to generate the fused image with a certain set of desired properties for a better visualization. The fusion technique should provide a resultant image with a high local contrast without driving individual pixels into over- or under-saturation. We focus on these desired properties of the resultant image, and formulate a multi-objective cost function for the same. We have shown how we can incorporate the constraint of spatial smoothness of the weight vectors, as opposed to the smoothness of the fused image. The solution of this optimization problem has been provided using the Euler-Lagrange technique. By using an appropriate auxiliary variable, we show how the constrained optimization problem can be converted into a computationally efficient unconstrained one. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is substantiated from the visual and quantitative results provided.

Re: Understand
ing the New 2010 Good Faith Estimate
Page Two
The first part is the most complicated I'd say, as previously on GFE's this section was broken down into individual underwriting, processing, funding, doc prep, origination points etc. Now it's just "Our origination charge" (#1). So if your loan amount is $100,000 and are paying a 1% origination fee, an $800 underwriting fee, a $500 processing fee… then the total would be $2,300 in "Our origination charge". However if you are also paying a 1% discount point to get the rate listed on page 1 of the GFE, then section #2 would appear as below, bringing the total of Section #1 & #2, "Your Adjusted Origination Charges" to be $3,300. This is called "Block A" and corresponds to Block A on the first page of the GFE.
This section A has created a big change for mortgage brokers (but not lenders). Now mortgage brokers must credit all "yield spread premium" to the borrower. Yield spread premium (YSP) is a commission that is paid to them from the lender they are brokering it to, the higher the interest rate, the more the YSP, at lower rates the lender will charge the broker, which the broker would typically pass on to the borrower as a "discount charge". In Section #2 the 2nd box would be checked, and an amount (the amount of the YSP) would appear there. In order for mortgage brokers to make that yield spread premium back, they need to charge the borrower for it, and this is done by increasing Section #1 "Our origination charge" by the same amount of as in #2. This ends up being a wash, as the "Your Adjusted Origination Charges" would show the math, such as:
For the same exact loan, but going through a lender, it would look like:
Both Adjusted Origination Charges are the same.
Lenders do not need to do this because they are making the mortgage with their own money (banking), and even though there is a commission paid to the loan originator, it is internal and could be based on several factors… but when you obtaining a brokered loan, the entire amount the mortgage broker is making is disclosed. Most brokers have been disclosing their compensation for quite some time now, but only with the new GFE has it become mandatory.
At closing the figures in section 1 & 2 cannot increase from the GFE except for in 1 situation – a "changed circumstance".
Now there are circumstances which the "our origination charges" can change, these are aptly named "changed circumstances" – these include but are limited to: loan amount & home value change, floating the interest rate to locking in the interest rate, interest rate lock extension, loan program (FHA to conventional etc) or loan term change (15-year to 30-year, etc), adding/removing a borrower, escrow waiver charge (in most states lenders charge a slightly higher rate or "escrow waiver" fee if you do not set up an escrow account), "Act of God, War, Disaster or Emergency", or if additional services are requested that couldn't reasonably be foreseen when the initial application was taken (such as an appraisal review, a 2nd appraisal, an attorney trust review fee, etc.).
The next sections I'll go over are 3 through 11.
#3 are items that the originator selects, such as the appraisal, flood certificate provider, and credit report.
#4 is the total of all escrow/title/closing attorney charges, except for the owners title policy.
#5 is that owners title policy.
#6 are required services you can shop for such as pest inspections, home inspections, etc… this section is commonly blank.
#7 are government document recording charges, for the deed, mortgage, etc.
At closing, sections 3-7 collectively cannot increase more than 10% than the GFE.
#8 are the state/county/city transfer taxes that the seller and/or the buyer pays. At closing this cannot increase from the GFE.
#9 is the estimate for how much would be needed as the initial deposit into the escrow account (if required), #10 is the daily interest charged until the mortgage payment starts covering interest, and #11 is the annual premium for the homeowners insurance.
Block B is totaled at the bottom, and then Blocks A + B are added up, again matching the 1st page of the GFE.

Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Anal
Legendary director Joey Silvera always comes up with new twists on typical porn scenarios. "Babysit My Ass 3" features seven stunning, young ladies with gorgeous yet troublesome derrieres that seem to require extra attention and supervision.
This all-anal double disc set is a real treat. Valentina Nappi finds herself tightly wedged by backdoor action courtesy of Lexington Steele, who also plows into London Keyes' rear, among other orifices. Christian XXX likewise had double-duty but he does it all in one scene, as Jayden Lee and Juelz Ventura, attired as a stripper/fireman and nurse, allow—and encourage—his repeated access into all three of their individual holes. Bonnie Rotten's thing is tease and toys before providing Will Powers full body access. Also, Cameron Canada and Karina Lynne (her first scene) share Johnny Castle. Excellent BTS.

Indigo Folk Is The Least Complicated
Throughout their 25 years in the business, The Indigo Girls have become so identified with the lesbian music scene that one may tend to overlook the actual music. But several chart hits and a Grammy Award later, they are still churning out their distinctive brand of modern folk-rock with no signs of slowing down. Their acoustically driven sound and dual female vocals make them instantly recognizable in a world of modern pop-techno and fake metal. The Indigo Girls' sound is an island of refuge in the cluttered aural tsunami of the prevailing popular music scene. The Girls have not, however, been content to just coast along in their safe little "folk-boat." On the contrary, they have made some brave and exciting career choices over the years. In 1994 they both appeared in a revival of everybody's favorite religious rock opera, Jesus Christ Superstar, playing none other than Jesus and Mary Magdalene. That is pretty awesome from where I'm standing. They also made a brief but charming appearance in the 2006 crossword puzzle documentary, Wordplay, where they stated that they knew they had finally "made it" because they were a clue in a Sunday puzzle. The Indigo Girls still have all the wit and talent that made them great. Check them out Friday at the House Of Blues. Doors at 8 p.m., show at 9 p.m. Visit houseofblues.com for tickets and details.

Cosmopolitanism and the De-colonial Option

What are the differences between cosmopolitanism and globalization? Are they "natural" historical processes or are they designed for specific purposes? Was Kant cosmopolitanism good for the entire population of the globe or did it respond to a particular Eurocentered view of what a cosmo-polis should be? The article argues that, while the term "globalization" in the most common usage refers and correspond to neo-liberal globalization projects and ambitions (roughly from 1980 to 2008), and the Kantian concept of "cosmopolitanism" responded to the second wave (XVIII and XIX of European global expansion), "de-colonial cosmopolitanism" refers to global processes and conceptualizations delinking from both neo-liberal globalization and liberal cosmopolitan ideals. But it delinks also from theological and Marxist visions of a homogenous world center around religious ideals or state socialist regulations. De-colonial cosmopolitanism is a cosmopolitanism of multiple trajectories aiming at a trans-modern world based on pluriversality rather than on a new and good universal for all.

Portland Press Herald, John Patriquin, Associated Press
It was a chilling crime and, even with a quick arrest, disturbing questions lingered.
Derrick Thompson called 911 in the coastal Maine city of Biddeford to report that he was being threatened. Police checked out the complaint, decided it was a civil matter and left the scene. Three minutes later, the teenager and his girlfriend were shot dead.
In a state averaging 25 murders a year, the case was clearly of public interest and the police officers were doing the public's business. But answering questions about their handling of the call took a lawsuit, an appeal and 11 months after state prosecutors turned down the Portland Press Herald's request for 911 transcripts.
The faceoff was eventually settled in the newspaper's favor by Maine's top court. But editors, advocates and academics say such situations reflect increasing difficulty getting access to information from statehouses and city halls across the country, as officials broadly interpret exemptions in laws requiring openness.
Tensions between government officials, journalists and watchdog groups are a constant in American life. But while it can be difficult to measure change, observers are troubled by what they see as declining transparency that some say may be abetted by public apathy. Government's swing away from openness began with post-Sept. 11 security worries, they say, and has been fueled more recently by officials' concerns about individual privacy, changes in technology and opaque laws on campaign finance.
"There's a clear trend toward increased secrecy in this country. I see it in my survey research of journalists and I also see it just on the ground, in what's happening at state capitals and the federal government," said David Cuillier, director of the University of Arizona School of Journalism, who studies citizen and press access to public information.
While the federal government's resistance to openness draws regular attention, state and local officials have also moved to limit access to information and proceedings, he and others say.
That is reflected in a 2012 report by the Center for Public Integrity and partner organizations that gave more than half of state governments grades of D or F for transparency and accountability. Investigators' findings included states whose open records laws included hundreds of exemptions and others that make critical budget decisions out of view of the public.
At the same time, researchers say journalists are finding it more difficult to obtain information from government through Freedom of Information requests. And, in a survey of more than 450 state and local reporters to be released this week, an overwhelming majority said that public information officers for agencies they cover are increasingly restricting access to officials and imposing other controls limiting their ability to report on government.
"The problem is pervasive," said Carolyn Carlson, a professor of communication at Kennesaw State University, outside Atlanta, who conducted the survey. "I think it's a problem for reporters as well as for the public. It means that reporters can't tell the story that they want to be able to tell them about their government."
Those findings are echoed in the anecdotal experience of newsroom leaders surveyed recently by the Associated Press Media Editors. Of the 37 who responded, two-thirds said that over the last five years the governments they cover had become less cooperative in providing access to records, meetings and officials.
"I think after 9/11 and the constant concerns about identity theft and that sort of thing, that there's been more reluctance on the part of public officials to give access to information that's clearly public," said Alan Miller, managing editor/news at The Columbus Dispatch, the daily newspaper in Ohio's capital.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (October 4, 2013)--Some fans of "Breaking Bad," the AMC series which concluded Sunday night, have placed an obituary for character Walter White in the Albuquerque Journal.
The notice on page A4 of Friday's Journal is headlined "White, Walter" and includes a photo of Bryan Cranston, the actor who played the chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin.
The obituary says the 52-year-old "founded a meth manufacturing empire" and that he died "after a long battle with lung cancer and a gunshot wound."
The five-season series was set and filmed in Albuquerque.
Los Lunas science teacher David Layman, one of the members an unofficial fan group that placed the obit, says many are sad to see the show go, but he says the obit helps provide some closure.

But I can get other plugins to show the ads. I really like Quick Adsense, it is the best. please help as I am just starting to get clicks everyday on my blog.
But I can get other plugins to show the ads. I really like Quick Adsense, it is the best. please help as I am just starting to get clicks everyday on my blog.
Eric, it appears that the code of the adsense plugin is conflicting with one or more plugins .. casuing the ads not to show.. or show a blank space where the ads are supposed to show
See http://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-adsense-can-be-easely-broken-by-any-other-plugin?replies=2
Till such time as Philip fixes the adsense plugin, you will have to deactivate the plugin/s which are causing this. Try deactivating one plugin at a time to find out which one is conflicting. In my case I had 2 conflicting plugins :(
Thank You for the reply. I am using Ad Inserter for now and when the plugin gets fixed I will switch back. I appreciate the help.
I believe Yoast SEO is causing the conflict (for me at least). I need to have the meta description in both the Yoast SEO and my Thesis theme fields (yes, two meta desc.) for the ads to show now.
Am also having same issue, Quick adsense is only working in some pages, i dont know why, also i got an fear about adsense policy, because is there any script is play with Google ads means, they blacklist us,
but widget ads are working, but ads between post is not working.
am also noticed this issue i got after i migrated to yoast SEO plugin, anyone please help me, thanks in advance,
I have found that the culprit on my sites is Jetpack. If I disable Jetpack, Quick Adsense works properly.

Access the Internet from your mobile phone with Digicel 4G Data Plans!
Digicel has simplified and improved its pre-paid data plan activation menu, presenting *123# and easier to follow instructions.
Customers can now simply enter *123# followed by "send" and follow the instructions to the friendlier and more controllable data usage system and thus activate any plan any time.
With the new data plans (for one or more days) and *123#, Digicel also helps customers eliminate overages. When the customer runs out of MBs, the access to data is canceled and reactivation is necessary, even though the plan itself has not expired yet. As soon as the customer reactivates a plan, he will once again have access to use data.
1. If you don't have an active data plan you will be able to have Internet on The Go Data on the Go without an active data plan: You will be charged Afl 1 per megabyte. Down-/Upload speed (128 Kbps).
2. Data on the Go with an active data plan and no remaining quota: You will be charged Afl. 0.45 per megabyte. Down-/Upload speed (4G Speed).

County children need your help
Published: Thursday, September 28, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 28, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: The numbers don't lie. If you think child abuse doesn't affect you, you couldn't be more wrong.
It may not be in your home, or on your block, but child abuse is a problem that affects all of us.
When a child suffers, we all suffer. Right now there are abused and neglected children in Henderson County who have been removed from their homes.
So you may ask yourself, "What can I do about it?" In a word, plenty. For years, community volunteers in Henderson County, as well as across the country, have given abused and neglected children a second chance for a positive future.
The Henderson County Guardian ad Litem program recruits and trains community volunteers to advocate for the best interest of abused and neglected children. Our volunteers speak for abused and neglected children in court, helping them to find loving homes. Through the work of these extraordinary individuals, vulnerable children find safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible.
To volunteer as a Guardian ad Litem, please call the office at 697-4894.

Ever wanted to be someone else? Now you can. Specifically, you can be Jason Statham. Sort of.
You know how in spy movies they always have impeccably realistic rubber masks of real people, or at least other characters? You've seen them in the Mission: Impossible movies and more recently on TV's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. But they've never been totally believable, right?

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

CHICAGO (November 8, 2013) The satirical newspaper The Onion announced Friday it is discontinuing the last of its print editions and moving to an all-online format as print advertising revenue dries up in the transition to a media landscape dominated by digital platforms.
Onion, Inc. President Mike McAvoy says its focus has been on "growing the digital side" of the business.
The last print editions, in Providence, R.I., Milwaukee and the paper's home city of Chicago, will appear on Dec. 12.
McAvoy says that "while the print edition is an important part" of its history, the company is excited about new digital opportunities.

The parents of a Braintree man with a heart condition thanked two MBTA workers Monday, a week after the workers helped their 24-year-old son when he went into cardiac arrest and fell down the stairs at the Wollaston train station.
On Jan. 27, Kevin Bossart collapsed at the train station while heading to work and later was placed into a medically-induced coma. Bossart, who grew up in Quincy but recently moved to Braintree, has since come out of the coma and remains in critical condition at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
Bossart has Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, or HCM, which is a genetic condition and a leading cause of sudden cardiac arrest.
On Monday afternoon, Bossart's parents, Trish and Bob Bossart of Quincy, visited the Wollaston T station to personally thank Karen Kane, an MBTA customer service agent and Tomas Gonzales, an MBTA instructor that teaches CPR, for their quick responses to Bossart's emergency.
Kane witnessed Bossart's fall and notified Gonzales, who rushed over and administered CPR until paramedics arrived.
The Bossarts are also crediting other first-responders and medical workers for helping save their son's life, including a paramedic from Fallon Ambulance, several Quincy firefighters, staff at Quincy Medical Center and the Brigham and Women's intensive-care unit.
Friends of Kevin Bossart, who graduated from Archbishop Williams High School in Braintree in 2007 and Southern New Hampshire University in 2011, have started a GoFundMe.com account to help Bossart pay for medical expenses and other bills while he's out of work. As of Monday afternoon, more than $27,500 had been raised.
Bossart works as a field coordinator for the Massachusetts School Building Authority.

Bush is to blame for current mess
Published: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: Can't the president do anything about the obscene rising gas prices? He doesn't seem to notice that Americans are suffering. We're getting poorer every day because rising gas prices cause all other product prices to rise also, because it costs fuel to deliver products to their destination for purchase.
Perhaps you've noticed your grocery bill rising every week. Price hikes get passed along until it reaches the end -- us. And we have to absorb it because we can't pass it on to anyone.
Or maybe it is because of the president that gas prices are obscenely high. It does seem that all of his friends just happen to be oil people, and oil people are the only ones enjoying the profits of this gas-price gouging.
You know darn well that if Clinton were president right now, the Republicans would be blaming him for the high gas prices.
So I hope you people who voted for Bush are happy with your good Christian president. Because I blame him for ruining our country, starting civil war in the Middle East, the murders of our young troops, voting fraud and loss of personal privacy. Bush is the worst president ever!

(Kiichiro Sato/AP)The Chicago Bears have been known for great special teams over the last decade, but they were in for a nasty shock on the first play of their home game against the Minnesota Vikings Sunday. Minnesota rookie receiver Cordarrelle Patterson, one of the Vikings' three first-round picks in 2013, took the opening kickoff 105 yards back for a touchdown. The Vikings wanted Patterson to take on a Percy Harvin-esque role in their offense, as Harvin was traded to the Seahawks in the offseason (he's currently recovering from a hip injury). Patterson is a raw route-runner, but he's got the kind of speed and explosiveness to make a big difference in space on the field, a fact the Bears were schooled on quickly.Not to be outdone, Chicago's Devin Hester, one of the best return men in the history of the league, returned the subsequent Vikings' kickoff from deep in his own end zone and trucked 76 yards to the Vikings' 32-yard line. The Bears scored five plays later on a one-yard touchdown pass from Jay Cutler to Martellus Bennett.There had been some concern about how to best get Patterson on the field and productive in Minnesota's offense, and he had just one target and one catch in the Vikings' 34-24 loss to the Detroit Lions last Sunday. However, he returned two kicks for 54 yards in that contest, giving his new team a taste of the kind of special teams force he can be."We're going to try to get him [Patterson] a few more snaps, but we have to get a few more first downs so we can stay on the field a little bit longer with our offense," Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier said this week. "But we want to get him more snaps for sure."This is certainly one way to do it. [si-nfl-player id="7ec0193fcfe44f2e87691492c599240b"] More Audibles

Maiduguri — Hundreds of troops in Gamboru Ngala and Banki towns reportedly fled their duty posts into Cameroon, yesterday, after they ran short of ammunition in their encounter with Boko Haram terrorists who stormed the two communities with sophisticated weapons in search of security operatives.
The Defence Headquarters, however, clarified immediately that the 480 Nigerian soldiers found on Cameroonian soil actually pursued fleeing Boko Haram terrorists past international boundaries of both countries against international law, hence they needed to surrender to Cameroonian authorities as required by law to show they were not on a hostile mission.
Both Gamboru Ngala and Banki towns share boundaries with Cameroon Republic which have been witnessing series of deadly attacks in recent times, including the massacre of over 300 traders in Gamboru Main Market in May.
The attacks on the communities came barely 24 hours after leader of the sect, Abubakar Shekau released a new video proclaiming an Islamic Caliphate in Gwoza town which was taken over by the insurgents.
Gamboru Ngala is North-East and about 180 kilometres, while Banki town in Bama Local Government Area is South-East and about 120 kilometres from Maiduguri, the state capital.
A competent source said many of the terrorists were killed by troops in Gamboru-Ngala before the troops ran out of ammunition and had to cross over the border into Cameroon to join forces with their Cameroonian counterparts to repel the attacks.
According to a BBC Hausa programme monitored in Maiduguri by our correspondent and corroborated by sources, the insurgents invaded Banki town on Sunday, and stormed Gamboru-Ngala, at about 5am, yesterday.
It was gathered that while in Banki, the insurgents overpowered the troops on ground by deploying rocket-propelled launchers, and improvised explosive devices, IEDs on the duty posts of the troops who managed to escape and fled towards Amhide villages before they entered Cameroon for safety.
It was also revealed that some of the troops in Banki fled to Marwa through Gazawa, another community bordering Borno and Cameroon Republic. It was not clear whether there was any casualty on both sides. However, sources said many casualties were recorded including terrorists, security operatives and civilians who were caught up in the crossfire.
400 soldiers escape to Cameroon
Also in Gamboru-Ngala, it was discovered that more than 400 of the troops managed to escape during the attack on their facilities, and reunited with their Cameroonian counterparts who made frantic efforts to repel the attackers. As residents said, the exchange of gunfire was ongoing between the terrorists and the military around the border communities of Cameroon and Nigeria.
A resident of Gamboru, who fled to Maiduguri yesterday evening, told our correspondent that "the insurgents who occupied the area were not after civilians, and asked residents not to flee, saying they were not in the town to attack civilians but military operatives.
"Some of us who could not withstand the sounds of gunshots and explosions between the insurgents and the military had to flee for safety, while others managed to stay based on the terrorists' assurance that they were not after residents. Unfortunately, as I am speaking to you, I have seen corpses of civilians and that of terrorists on the streets of Gamboru-Ngala, suspected to have been caught up in the crossfire or stray bullets".
A top military source in Maiduguri, who is not authorized to speak to the press confirmed the attacks in the border communities, insisting that the fighting was ongoing, but couldn't give the number of casualties.
The position of things, by Defence HQ
The Defence Headquarters in its reaction to Nigerian troops found in Cameroon explained that military authorities of both countries have discussed the issue and resolved it while the Nigerian soldiers have returned to their base.
A report posted on the Defence Blog regarding the incident said: "The Nigerian troops that were found in Cameroon was as a result of a sustained battle between the troops and the terrorists around the borders with Cameroon which saw Nigerian troops charging through the borders in a tactical manoeuvre.
"Eventually they found themselves on Cameroonian soil. Being allies, the normal protocol of managing such incident demanded that the troops submit their weapons in order to assure the friendly country that they were not on a hostile mission.
"Following necessary discussions between Nigerian and Cameroonian military authorities, the issues have been sorted out. Subsequently, the troops are on their way back to join their unit in Nigeria.
"The reference to the incident as a defection is therefore not appropriate considering the discussion between the two countries' military leadership and the series of contacts with the soldiers who have confirmed that they are safe.
Adamawa acting gov imposes curfew
Meanwhile, following the escalating insurgent attacks on Madagali, Gulak and other adjoining villages in the border between Adamawa and Borno states, Acting Governor of Adamawa State has declared a 24-hour curfew in the areas.
In a statement in Yola yesterday, the government observed that it has no alternative than to take such measures. But, in a swift reaction, the insurgents urged residents to go about their normal businesses, claiming that they were in charge of the entire areas.
The declaration of the curfew followed the recent upsurge of terrorist attacks forcing residents of the entire areas to move either to Mubi or Yola, the state capital, even as others were heading towards Gombe.
Insurgents moving towards Yola, says Gulak
Residents of Gulak, Madagali and other communities in the area said the insurgents bombarded as if heaven will fall or as if the world was coming to an end.
Mr. Ahmed Gulak, an indigene of the area and former Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on political matters described the situation there as beyond comment.
Gulak, who spoke to newsmen in his country home in Yola, argued that the insurgents will soon head towards the state capital if they were not checked immediately.
Residents of the areas who spoke on phone with journalists confirmed that the insurgents were in full control of the entire communities with no presence of security men.
According to the villagers, the insurgents have been patrolling the streets of Madagali and Gulak as well as the highway leading to Borno State, urging the people to go about their normal businesses and ignore the curfew imposed by the Adamawa State Government.
According to the villagers, the insurgents claimed that they were in full control of the areas and challenged the Nigerian security to come there and enforce the curfew.
Gwoza attack: 10 missing police officers make contact, 7 rescued
Also, indications emerged, yesterday, that scores of Boko Haram terrorists who attacked the Mobile Police Training Camp in Gwoza last Wednesday, have fled the facility for fear of being bombed by military aircraft of the Nigerian Air Force.
It was gathered that the location of the camp itself, which was used for hazard, intimidation and endurance training to toughen Mobile Police officers and men, is difficult to access but easy to attack from air.
In a television programme yesterday, Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Emmanuel Ojukwu while speaking on the development disclosed that the Police, Army and other security agencies were working in partnership to flush out terrorists from the camp and other parts of Gwoza.
This disclosure came just as Vanguard gathered that about 10 of the 35 Police officers earlier reported missing, have made contacts with the authorities, family members or friends, telling them that they were alive.
He said seven course men have been rescued and brought to safety out of the 10 who made contact, adding that search for the remaining 28 was being intensified.
A senior Police officer who spoke to Vanguard on condition of anonymity also said the Police High Command was positive that none of its personnel died during the attack on the Mobile Police Camp, adding that there was no single casualty recorded during and after the attack.
"What happened was that when the terrorists were advancing, because of the hilly and rugged nature of the facility, Policemen in the camp got wind of the advance. Hence, they were ready and there was a shoot-out and tear gas was used on them which forced them to retreat.
"They later went back and reinforced for another attack. Before then, the Policemen in the camp had evacuated and mingled with members of the Gwoza community as a precautionary measure. By the time the terrorists came back, the policemen were not there.
"Right now as I am talking to you, the officers have been making contact with us, their families and friends which shows they are alive. Apart from the contacts, we have established that there was no casualty of any sort on our part. So we are expecting that in the next few days, all the men will make contact."
It will be recalled that the Police Force headquarters on Sunday confirmed that 35 of its officers were still missing following the deadly attack on the Mobile Police training school, Gwoza, by Boko Haram terrorists.
Force headquarters, however, noted that the search and rescue efforts launched by the Police after the attack, has led to the recovery of scores of policemen.
A statement by the Force Headquarters said: "A ferocious attack earlier launched on the Training camp by insurgents on August 7, 2014 was repelled by the Police. On August 20, 2014, the attackers launched a fresh offensive that lasted several hours where the Policemen on duty engaged them in a fierce battle. The search and rescue party launched a counter-attack immediately which located and brought to safety all Police officers in the Training College at the time of attack.
"So far, 35 policemen who are still missing from the facility as a result of the latest attack are being searched for with very promising prospect of locating them.
"While enjoining all citizens to remain calm and join hands with the security forces in the collective fight against insurgency, the IGP restated his determination to work closely with other security agencies to stem the tide of terrorism in the country."
FG won't allow an inch of Nigeria for experimental terror state -- Maku
Meantime, the Federal Government declared yesterday that it will not allow an inch of the country to be used as centre for an experimental terror state in West Africa.
Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku gave the assurance in Abuja while addressing officers of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps at a workshop on Conflict Prevention, Peace Building and Election Monitoring ahead of the 2015 general elections.
Maku said the government had utmost confidence in the ability and capacity of the Armed Forces to defend the honour and uphold the territorial integrity of the nation and warned marauding insurgents in some states in the North-East that the Armed Forces would wholeheartedly defend the country to the last mile.
"Local and international adventurers that are contending with the destiny of our nation should know that we will defend our country to the last mile. We know our responsibility to this country; we know the responsibility of this nation to Africans all over the world and we will do everything within our powers to ensure that our country remains united, indivisible and continues to prosper as the leading state in Africa," he stated.
He reassured the citizens that the government has resolved to deal with the current security challenges and emerge victorious.
"Let me assure our country that no matter what forces of disunity would want to do, by the grace of Allah and the resolve of this administration and the people of Nigeria, no part of the Nigerian territory will become a centre for an experimental terror state in West Africa", he stated.
He said the current circumstances demanded absolute commitment by the Armed Forces and the citizens of Nigeria to ensure they work together in unity to defeat the evil of insurgency.
The Information Minister stated that conflict prevention was the responsibility of all citizens, security forces, the civil society and all national institutions, adding that it costs much less to prevent conflict than to manage it.
He remarked that a lot of the conflicts the nation was witnessing could have been prevented by being proactive instead of waiting for conflict to erupt and fester, because any human community was liable to conflict, which could be anticipated, hence the need to train people on conflict prevention and peace building.
According to him, when conflicts are properly managed, they can advance the development of society by reconciling all the contending factions and channelling their energies towards the pursuit of the common goals of peace, unity and development.
Speaking on the 2015 general elections, Maku called for a change of attitude among the political class as often exhibited in their utterances and conducts, to ensure elections were free of rancor and acrimony and the result was acceptable to all parties.
He said so long as politicians continue to display the tendency for violence before, during or after elections, government would continue to take adequate security measures to protect the life and property of voters.
The Information Minister further pledged the commitment of President Jonathan to free, fair and credible elections and urged politicians to complement the gesture by playing according to the rules.
Earlier in his addres, Commandant-General of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Dr. Ade Abolurin, said the Corps had remained consistent in fashioning out programmes and effective collaborative efforts aimed at enhancing peace and tranquility in the country, which ensured the utilization of Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanism in finding lasting solution to conflict.
He said over 1,200 officers across the state commands and divisions were trained on principles and practice of Alternative Dispute Resolution, which led to the resolution of 3,450 disputes nationwide from 2010 to date.
Dr. Abolurin announced that the Corps would soon organize a multi-agency Peace Building Programme for all security agencies, the media and other stakeholders to discuss ways of fostering synergy and cooperation that would enhance national security.
In his remarks, Country Director of UNDP, represented by Dr. Lamin Begai, who condemned violent elections commended the recent elections in Anambra, Ekiti and Osun states, which he described as peaceful and reinforced assurance in the electoral process.

Comparing IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses
Updated: August 22, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1
The size of an IPv6 address is 128 bits, which is four times larger than an IPv4 address. In theory, the 32-bit address space that IPv4 uses provides 4,294,967,296 possible addresses; however, previous and current allocation practices limit the number of public IPv4 addresses to a few hundred million. By contrast, the 128-bit address space that IPv6 uses provides 3.4 x 1038 possible addresses.
The size of the IPv6 address allows for subdividing the address into a hierarchical routing structure that reflects the current topology of the Internet. This structure provides great flexibility for hierarchical addressing and routing, which the IPv4-based Internet lacks.

Nuclear medicine experts are frustrated at the continued holdup of the American Medical Isotopes Production Act in the Senate. The delay is being caused by Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo., who said the bill, which would support the domestic production of medical isotopes and cut off U.S. exports of highly enriched uranium, could endanger isotope supply in the country. "We don't think this is a bill that would cripple us," countered Dr. Michael Graham, past president of SNM. "It's a fairly unique opportunity for us to build a domestic isotope supply."

Yep, ostriches don't have much brain power…hence the urban myth is when danger is approaching, they stick their heads in a hole in the ground… ;)
A brain about the size of a politician's. They lay lots of eggs, too.
Oh, but the DRUMSTICK's!!!
Can we have an "Amen" here?
Why has comments about ostrich egg turned political?
Go to politic strip have fun there.
I have not goggle how many eggs can ostrich lay for babies?
You are right. There must be a shortage of ostrich's as I have never seen one running wild in the 50 years that I lived in northern California.
ouch…that's insulting to ostriches ;)
On a quiz show I watched a while back, there was a question about which bird is mistakenly believed to stick its head in the ground. One bright young thing answered "flamingo", another said "penguin".
I can't wait to see this.
I don't think they are native except to Africa (so not wild) but they are often raised on farms in the US because valued both for their meat and feathers.
Brain size isn't as relevant as once thought. Othwerwise how do bees do so much?
That head-sticking-in-the-ground idea came from the Coat-of-Arms ostrich. Now that one does.
Check South America.
Alex here is concerned about the ostriches' feeling about losing that egg. The teacher has to consol her with facts about the ostrich brain size, implying that the ostrich hasn't the capacity for such thought. Wonder how Alex would feel about human mothers who have nary a care about their young. A human mother has a normal sized brain yet can have very much the same level of concern about their children as an ostrich has over their eggs. Actually the human mother can be worse than an ostrich because at least an ostrich won't try to kill their young.

ESPN.com is expanding its coverage of college recruiting to include men's basketball, and Scouts Inc. has assembled an experienced and widely respected team of talent evaluators to handle the task.
National recruiting directors John Carroll, Bob Gibbons and Paul Biancardi will provide the bulk of the coverage, including all player evaluations, grades and class recruiting rankings. Besides following prospects in their high school games, our directors will attend the important camps and AAU tournaments to see the top prospects in the nation in person.
Carroll brings extensive experience to our recruiting coverage, having spent 13 years as a college coach, six as head coach at Duquesne and seven as an assistant to P.J. Carlesimo at Seton Hall. He then had a nine-year NBA coaching career, including seven as an assistant with the Boston Celtics that concluded with a four-month stint as interim head coach in 2003-04.
Gibbons is the editor and publisher of the All Star Sports report and is widely regarded as the recruiting guru of college basketball. He has more than three decades of experience scouting high school basketball prospects, is a member of the McDonald's High School All-American Selection Committee and was rated the No. 1 high school talent scout in America by Sports Illustrated.
Paul Biancardi has 17 years coaching experience at the Division I level. He was an assistant at Boston University, Boston College and Ohio State before becoming the head coach at Wright State, where he earned Horizon League coach of the year honors in the 2003-'04 season.
All players in the Classes of 2007, '08, '09 and '10 have been seen, either on tape or in person, and graded. Evaluations for '07 prospects are filtering in, and many of the top prospects' evaluations are available online, as is the initial ESPN 150 ranking of top prospects in the Class of '07.
Post-graduate and junior college prospects will be evaluated under the same criteria as high school prospects but will be ranked separately.
Grades for underclassmen are projected grades. Much can change from a player's freshman season to his senior season, when he signs a Division I scholarship offer. Some players' development will accelerate, while others will fail to meet expectations. These grades are a projection of where Scouts Inc. believes these players will be by their senior seasons. Evaluations of these players will not be completed until after their junior seasons, and they will be updated throughout the spring and summer leading up to their senior seasons.

In this test a mechanical drive such as the Barracuda XT or VelociRaptor score around 2.0/1.5MB/s which gives us a baseline figure for performance.
The result in this test will go some way to showing how responsive a drive will be in Windows use as the operations performed are similar to the random reads and writes regularly performed by the OS. The result, like Atto is two drives which are very close in performance with Corsair again edging ahead in one area, this time write operations.
