Ashley Cole will not fly to Slovakia with Chelsea for tomorrow's Champions League group game against Slovakians MSK Zilina as he has been rested by the manager Carlo Ancelotti.
Cole has played all four Premier League games for Chelsea this season, as well as two internationals with England, and Ancelotti has decided he needs a rest. Cole's divorce from his wife Cheryl went through last week, but the club insisted he has been given the game off for football reasons.
Ancelotti said: "Cole will stay out because I want to give him a rest. He played two games with the national team, played Saturday, and I will give him a rest. There is no problem but it is better for him to rest." The Italian warned last week that no one will be exempt as he rests all his best players in the coming weeks, and is proving it by leaving out Cole for the game.
Frank Lampard will also be staying behind, to work on his fitness in a bid to be available for Sunday's home game against Blackpool.
The good news for Ancelotti is that John Terry has recovered sufficiently from the bruised ribs he suffered in Saturday's 3-1 victory at West Ham United to travel with the squad.
Ancelotti said: "John Terry trained today and he will travel. The players we have out and unavailable are Bosingwa and Lampard. Jose still needs some time. Frank also needs some more time before he is ready to play, but he should be OK for the game on Sunday."
MSK's coach, Pavel Hapal, is promising his team will give Chelsea a game. He said: "We won't sell ourselves short. We want to show our supporters quality football and we'd like to get some points from our meeting with Chelsea."

Since the genocide of the Armenians was planned as early as 1913 (after the Turkish defeat in the Balkan war), and since Armenians were systematically disarmed, the suggestion that the Armenians unleashed anything on the Turks is outlandish. If Koray Asena refers to the few pockets of Armenians who defended themselves, then he must mean those who heard about the mass killings and deportations elsewhere and decided to resist when their turn came to die. The image of my father's 12-year-old sister killing Turks is a picture I have difficulties seeing.
For Mr Asena to talk about Armenians killing Turks is as tasteless as talking about the holding qualities of various kinds of rope in the home of a man who has been hanged. It reflects one of the more recent twists in the Turkish distortion of history in order to deny this century's first genocide during which more than 2 million Armenians were killed or otherwise removed from their 3,000-year-old homeland.
As to reading about the genocide, you could not possibly allot me enough space to list the relevant documents, but some places to start would be in Hansard and the British newspapers of the period, the report by Arnold Toynbee, and An Ambassador's Diary, the account of his time in Turkey by the American ambassador Henry Morganthau.

Malaysia's former Formula One driver Alex Yoong and Kiwi driver John McIntyre will team up with David Besnard and Mark Noske to pilot the two Wright Patton Shakespeare Racing (WPS Racing) entries in the V8 Supercar endurance events later this ...
Malaysia's former Formula One driver Alex Yoong and Kiwi driver John McIntyre will team up with David Besnard and Mark Noske to pilot the two Wright Patton Shakespeare Racing (WPS Racing) entries in the V8 Supercar endurance events later this year.
WPS Racing team owner Craig Gore today confirmed the signing of Yoong and McIntyre to drive in the Sandown and Bathurst rounds of the 2004 V8 Supercar Championship Series.
The signings are a coup for WPS Racing, with Malaysian-born Yoong one of the most accomplished drivers ever to emerge from Asia and McIntyre a three-time endurance winner in New Zealand.
"The fact that offshore-based drivers of their ability are seeking to get involved in the V8 Supercar series is a tremendous endorsement for the sport and its management," said Gore.
"I'm rapt just to be able to offer both John and Alex a drive, let alone them accepting it.
"This gives WPS a high-powered team for the endurance events and we are looking forward to a competitive performance from the boys."
They will be joined in the WPS stable by regular drivers Besnard and Noske.
"We haven't finalized the pairings at this stage so we may have an all international team and a local team or a combination of the two," said Gore.
Yoong, who is in Queensland this weekend gaining experience in the V8 category through a drive in the Konica Minolta Series, said he was thrilled to have secured a start in the endurance events.
"Even though it is a new team, WPS Racing has shown it has a great desire to be at the top of its sport and that makes it an exciting team to be involved with," said Yoong.
WPS Falcon BA in action WPS Falcon BA in action
"Being from Malaysia I have always known about Bathurst and the V8 Supercars and I think you would have to say it is the best touring car category in the world.
"The endurance drives for WPS give me some good exposure to the category and I would like to think I could secure something more permanent in the future."
The 27-year-old Malaysian, who last year competed in the US Champ Car World Series, has a celebrated history in motorsport internationally.
He began racing motorcross at age eight and went on to become a teenage driving sensation in Asia before shifting to Europe to race in categories including the British Formula Renault Sport Championships, the British Formula 3 Championships, the Italian Formula 3000 and the International Formula 3000 Championships.
In 2001 he joined the European Minardi Formula One team and became the first Malaysian F1 competitor and the first Asian non-Japanese F1 driver in nearly half a century.
He finished a career-high seventh in the 2002 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.
McIntyre has a similarly impressive record in the sport and last year had two race wins in Australia -- at Phillip Island and Winton -- in the Tranzam category.
He is a three-time endurance winner in New Zealand, including a victory earlier this month, and is a former winner of the NZ Motor Sports Person of the Year (young male) award.
McIntyre, who had his first Supercar drive in Australia in 2002, said he was looking forward to getting back into the category.
"It has taken a lot of effort in the Tranzam and Porsche GT3 Cup series to get to this point so it is fair to say I'm excited," he said.
"I suppose I have a never-say-die attitude and that has paid off.
"I first tested with WPS in April and the development from then until now has been very impressive. There is also a great spirit and passion among the guys and you get the feeling it is going to be a very successful team."
McIntyre said he and Yoong planned to have a test session ahead of the endurance events.
"Alex and I are looking forward to concentrating on Car #48 for the test day. We will have a chance to set up the car and get the seat position to a setting we are both comfortable with," he said.

Canucks' Lack locks up shootout win
CHICAGO Eddie Lack got plenty of practice in his first NHL shootout. He also got a win.
Ryan Kesler scored the deciding goal in an eight-round tiebreaker, leading Lack and the Vancouver Canucks to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night.
Kesler fired a high shot past Antti Raanta to help Vancouver end a two-game losing streak. Mike Santorelli was successful in the first round as the Canucks improved to 2-4 in shootouts.
Patrick Sharp had Chicago's only shootout score against Lack in the third round.
Lack, a rookie backup, said he got some advice from No. 1 goaltender Roberto Luongo and just tried to react.
"When you're in it, you don't really think about it," Lack said. "It's just like the AHL. You're just focused on what you're going to do next, and anticipate it."
Lack made 24 saves against Chicago in his seventh start of the season. Then he stopped Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews in the shootout. Marian Hossa hit the post and Lack poke-checked the puck away from Brandon Saad.
"He stopped some world-class players there in Toews and Kane right off the bat, and that set us up for the win," Kesler said.
The Canucks killed all four Chicago power plays to improve to 30 for their last 31 on the penalty kill. Vancouver ended Chicago's string of power-play goals in 10 straight games.
"I thought our power play might have let us down a little bit tonight … ," Kane said. "They probably got momentum off them killing them off, so it's something we'll try to improve on."

In 1969 Mischel published a landmark article, Continuity and change in personality. In this article Mischel questioned the importance of emotional personality variables (e.g., anxiety), suggesting that there was little evidence for continuity (i.e., that people show consistency in behaviors [continuity] across different situations, which would reflect the operation of emotional personality variables. Mischel noted that correlations between measures of emotional personality traits and relevant behaviors seldom exceeded .3 in the research literature, accounting for only 9% of the variance. Rather behaviors seemed to be more controlled by the situations people were in, and behaviors CHANGED as situations changed. Mischel challenged those researchers who believed in the importance of emotional personality traits to do additional research and publish data showing that emotional personality traits were important. The gauntlet was thrown and the challenge accepted by others.
Note that Mischel stated that there was good evidence for the importance of COGNITIVE personality traits. Correlations of these cognitive trait measures (e.g., IQ, field dependence, delay of gratification) often showed much stronger correlations than .3 with relevant behaviors (i.e., good continuity across situations).
Some defenders of PERSONALITY have argued that there are emotional personality traits at the genotypic level which endure and affect behavior, although the overt expressions of these behaviors may change. An example of this possibility would be someone with a high level of trait aggression. This trait aggression might be expressed overtly as hitting, yelling, kicking, biting, or high blood pressure (if the aggression was inhibited in direct expression). From this perspective inconsistency (change) in behaviors across situations could still be interpreted as evidence for the power of personality variables. Mischel disagrees with viewpoint, saying that it involves convoluted word magic. Mischel provides an example of a woman who seems to behave inconsistently. On some occasions she is fiercely independent, assertive, and even hostile. On other occasions she is passive, warm, and traditionally feminine. How does one explain this?
People who talk of enduring genotypes being expressed in diverse phenotypes (for example, more psychoanalytic theorists), might explain the picture by
1. A basically passive, dependent woman (at the genotype level) with a surface defense of aggressiveness, or
2. A genotypically aggressive woman with a facade of passivity.
Mischel rejects 1 and 2 in favor of a more situational explanation of the woman: How about a hostile, assertive, independent, warm, passive, feminine person all in one. Which behavior occurs at any one moment is not random, but dependent on who she is with, when, and under what circumstances.
Mischel says that theorists and researchers should pay more than lip service to the importance of situational specificity of behavior.
Critics of Mischels position (e.g., Alker, 1972) claim that the low correlations in the personality literature would be higher with methodological improvements. Alker claims that the low correlations are caused by:
1. Attenuation problems caused by:
A. Less than perfect reliability in the measuring devices, and
B. The use of homogeneous populations in research, which minimizes variability. The typical samples in personality research have been college students and hospitalized psychiatric patients.
2. The use of normative measures (rather than ipsitive measures). And
3. The use of simple correlations between two variables rather than multiple regression (Multiple predictors of 1 criterion variable).
In addition to these 3 methodological comments, Alker also introduces a theoretical perspective into the Personality versus Situation debate. Alker offers the idea that the apparent situational specificity of behavior may be caused by a personality variable. This introduces the interaction position, which states that there may be interactions of personality by situations that are more powerful that either personality trait effects or situation effects.
Imagine the following in a 2 by 2 by 2 design. A woman is insulted by her husband. The setting is either at home with the two of them alone or at a party with many people observing (Home vs. Party--a situational variable). The woman has either a high need for aggression or a low need for aggression (one personality variable). Finally the woman has either a high need for social approval or a low need for social approval (a second personality variable). Need for social approval involves a concern with the opinion of others and a need to be regarded well by others. In this example think of 4 different types of women (based on the possible combinations of personalities:
1. High aggression, high n. Social Approval
2. Low aggression, High n. Social Approval
3.High aggression, Low n. Soc. Approval
4. Low aggression, Low n. Soc. Approval
Now be psychologists and predict the probability (either low or high) that each woman would slap her husband after the insult, given that the insult occurred either at home alone or at the party. Try to graph out your predictions.
If the woman behaves differently at home and at the party (i.e., shows situational specificity), the reason might be due to a personality variable.
In a direct reply to Alker, Bem (1972), who was a student of Mischels, addressed the 3 methodological issues raised by Alker. Simply put, Bems review shows that when methodological improvements are made (i.e., correlations are corrected for attenuation, ipsitive measures are used, and multiple regressions are used), the personality correlation coefficient still does not exceed .3. But Bem supports Alkers theoretical position of the potential importance of interactions, which Bem refers to as moderator variables. Any variable that affects the relationship between two or more other variables is a moderator variable. High or low need for social approval may be a personality moderator variable that affects whether people high in trait aggression will act aggressively in the presence or absence of others. Presence or absence of interpersonal threat may be a situational moderator variable that affects whether people high in anxiety will do worse on difficult tasks.
Bem also introduces the concept that some people may be trait like, and others may be more situational. For example, consider the personality dimension of high versus low need for social approval. People with a high need for social approval are likely to monitor themselves over many situations in order to maintain a particular social image. These people will control those behaviors that are under voluntary control, but will not be able to control more autonomic behaviors (e.g., body posture, sweating, blushing). People with high need for social approval will thus appear to be trait like and continuous in behaviors that are controllable, but will might show within situation cross modal inconsistency.
People with low need for social approval are more sensitive to situational changes because they are not monitoring themselves across situations in order to always be behaving in socially desirable ways. These people will appear to be more situational, and will also show a within situation consistency across the modalities of their behavior.
Another example of trait like versus situational people involves the concept of androgyny, as developed by Bems ex-wife, Sandra. Traditionally masculine or feminine individuals will appear to be more trait like. That is, they will be behaving consistently in a masculine or feminine fashion across situations. But androgynous individuals (those scoring high in both M and F), will be more situational. Depending on the needs of the situation, androgynous individuals are capable of displaying either masculine or feminine behaviors.

creates itself ex nihilo, or at any rate out of something that is well-nigh indistinguishable from nothing at all.. Unlike the puzzlingly mysterious, timeless self-creation of God, this self-creation is a non-miraculous stunt that has left lots of traces.Dennett (1995: 412) provides compelling argument which culminates in a radical position that embraces the notion of "gradual emergence of meaning" from a "cascade of mere purposeless, mechanical causes." He (1995: 73) agrees with Ukrainian geneticist biologist, Theodore Dobzhansky, who described the Natural Selection algorithm as "blind, mechanical, automatic [and] impersonal." According to Dennett (1995: 50-51), the three key features of any algorithm are its "substrate neutrality," "underlying mindlessness" and "guaranteed results." In Dennett's words:
Although the overall design of the procedure may be brilliant, or yield brilliant results, each constituent step, as well as the transition between steps, is utterly simple."Give me order… and time, and I will give you Design," are the audacious words that Dennett attaches to Darwin. He (1995: 59, 73) reminds us that:
It is hard to believe that something as mindless and mechanical as an algorithm could produce such wonderful things. No matter how impressive the products of an algorithm, the underlying process always consists of nothing but a set of individually mindless steps succeeding each other without the help of intelligent supervision: they are "automatic" by definition: the workings of an automaton.Dennet, Daniel C. (1995) Darwin 's Dangerous Idea: Evolution and the Meanings of Life. Touchstone, New York.
American Philospher of Mind, Cognition and Evolutionary Biology [1942- ]
If, during the long course of ages and under varying conditions of life, organic beings vary at all in the several parts of their organization, and I think this cannot be disputed; if there be, owing to the high geometric powers of increase of each species, at some age, season or year, a severe struggle for life, and this certainly cannot be disputed; then, considering the infinite complexity of the relations of all organic beings to each other and to their conditions of existence, causing an infinite variety in structure, constitution, and habits, to be advantageous to them, I think it would be a most extraordinary fact if no variation ever had occurred useful to each being's own welfare, in the same way as so many variations have occurred useful to man. But if variations useful to any organic being do occur, assuredly individuals thus characterized will have the best chance of being preserved in the struggle for life; and from the strong principle of inheritance they will tend to produce offspring similarly characterized. This principle of preservation, I have called, for the sake of brevity, Natural Selection.Darwin, Charles (1859)On the Origin of Species in From So Simple a Beginning: The Four Great Books of Charles Darwin. Edited, with introductions, by Edward O. Wilson. W. W. Norton & Company. New York, 2006.
Intentionality doesn't come from up high; it percolates up from below, from the initially mindless and pointless algorithmic processes that gradually acquire meaning and intelligence as they develop.
wonderful wedding of chance and necessity, happening in a trillion places at once, at a trillion different levels. And what miracle caused it? None. It just happened to happen in the fullness of time… the tree of life created itself. Not in a miraculous, instantaneous whoosh, but slowly, slowly over billions of years.
Richard Dawkins celebrated "blind watchmaker" metaphor implies an unseeing, groping in the dark. It evokes powerfully the Darwinian algorithm. We might assume that this watchmaker is an anonymous personage who bears a nagging family resemblance to an intelligent creator. Dawkins (1986) quickly shatters this misconception:
Paley's argument is made with passionate sincerity and is informed by the best biological scholarship of the day, but it is wrong, gloriously and utterly wrong. The analogy between telescope and eye, between watch and living organism, is false. All appearances to the contrary, the only watchmaker in nature is the blind force of physics, albeit deplored in a special way. A true watchmaker has foresight: he designs his cogs and springs, and plans their interconnections, with a future purpose in his mind's eye. Natural selection, the blind unconscious, automatic process which Darwin discovered, and which we now know is the explanation for the existence and apparently purposeful form of all life, has no purpose in mind. It has no mind and no mind's eye. It does not plan for the future. It has no vision, no foresight, no sight at all. If it can be said to play the role of watchmaker in nature, it is the blind watchmaker.

Skip to comments.Ron Paul Polling at 5% in New Hampshire (Highest Yet in New Hampshire)
Posted on 09/12/2007 9:00:07 AM PDT by Austin Willard Wright
New Hampshire is the state we expect Ron Paul to shine, not Iowa. They are largely anti-war -- the last Iraq war poll had approval ratings as low as 14% suggesting a large majority of Republicans are disenfranchised with the war. Indpendents can vote for candidates in either party at the New Hampshire primary. So no pollster is going to be able to correctly quantify which candidate will get a boost but if the Independents are anti-war, I think it is safe to say that Ron Paul would be the candidate to benefit.
(Excerpt) Read more at usaelectionpolls.com ...
Isn't this the state that has the slogan something like "Live free or die", or am I all wet?
Nationally Ron Paul is polling at 1% now according to Gallup. Considering New Hampshire is hardly a conservative state, I for one am surprised he is polling so low there. I would think he would draw 20+% there. If he is polling only 5% in New Hampshire, that is pretty pathetic.
Too many mass, uh, people in NH.
You have our motto correct.
Just stand in front of a mirror and keep repeating this, and you may even begin to believe it!
A whole 5%?
So that means....six, or seven NH residents support Koo Koo Kachew?
Just wondering.....
LOL! Sounds like something a Paul "follower" would advise.
It figures, given the large amount of Massachusetts liberals who have immigrated into NH lately.
Nationally Ron Paul is polling at 1% now according to Gallup. Considering New Hampshire is hardly a conservative state, I for one am surprised he is polling so low there. I would think he would draw 20+% there. If he is polling only 5% in New Hampshire, that is pretty pathetic.
Actually if non-Republican voters (which the GOP needs to fortify its shrinking base) were included it would be higher. This only includes self-defined Republcans.
NH is a pretty conservative state...I believe it is the only state in the continental US with neither an income tax nor a sales tax...and some of the best gun laws in the US
NH is not a conservative state. Leans independent / democrat, not conservative.
Live under sharia and die.
Now theres a surge even Ron Paul can support!
Oh! That makes it MUCH more believable then as we know the DRats never lie and the moonbats would never cheat. /s
isn't it nice that this guy is still around making videos and planning attacks?
Before the 2006 elections, both of the state houses were Republican (the NH House was probably the most conservative state legislature in the country) and the governor before the current governor was Craig Benson who was also a pretty conservative Republican. Also before 2006, both US Senators from NH and both congressmen were Republicans.
True enough that in 2006, Republicans took a drubbing in NH (losing both congressional seats and both houses of the state legislature) but Republicans nationwide took a drubbing and NH Republicanism is the old fashioned, more libertarian type of Republicanism...no taxes, no regulations and small government...and the small government philosophy applies to both domestic and foreign policies...so...it hard to know whether 2006 is part of a trend left in NH...or whether it was just a reaction to Iraq...that remains to be seen
...isn't it nice that Jimmy Hoffa was never found, Steve Fosset is still missing, and the girl in Aruba was never found?
Many of Hitler's henchmen lived full lives while on the run in South America.
I love how these clowns hyperventilate over someone who supposedly "can't win."
It is a monumental waste of bandwidth to even have Ron Paul mentioned in a thread. This guy wrote the book on lunatic.
5% in New Hampshire?
With its libertarian leanings, I'd figure Rep. Paul would be doing somewhat better, but then again, this is just the GOP they're asking, so this sounds about right.
It's hugh, I'm telling you. Hugh.
He's also polling SIXTH among Republican candidates ... behind Romney, Giuliani, McCain, Thompson, and Huckabee.
- McCain is pretty much dead in the water ... and has 12%.
- Thompson has been in the race a WEEK ... and has 11%.
- Huckabee is as unlikely to win as I am ... and has 6%.
You'll forgive me if I'm not overly impressed with Ron Paul's 5%, and 6th Place standing.
Meanwhile, Paul's campaign is taking money and attention from a conservative candidate who can actually win, and his followers are using Free Republic to help him do it.
5% still gets you last place.
Does that 5% have the same +/- 3% error rate as most polls?
Perhaps the same can be said for a tiny group of "Freepers" bent on suicide, who continue to waste bandwidth on a candidate who "can't win".
Clowns? You are talking about 99% of the FreeRepublic community.
Shall I ping Jim Robinson on your comment?
Don't let the digital door hit you on the way out to DUmmie_land.
Maybe the republican party should once again become the party of conservatism instead of the "lets out democrat the democrats" party.
What specific policy positions of Paul's do you think make him a lunatic?
I joined this site recently and did not really support any specific candidate...but the more I read these anti-Paul posts, the more unimpressed with I am with those posting them...a lot of name-calling...admittedly some funny barbs at Paul...but not a lot of deep-thinking criticism of his positions from what I've seen
>> True enough that in 2006, Republicans took a drubbing in NH (losing both congressional seats and both houses of the state legislature) but Republicans nationwide took a drubbing and NH Republicanism is the old fashioned, more libertarian type of Republicanism.
Thn how do you explain John McCain's victory in the 2000 New Hampshire Primary? He's certainly not and "old-fashioned more libertarian type" Republican.
New Hampshire is no different than any other northeastern State ... a New England Republican would be a liberal Democrat in a truly conservative state (like Texas, for instance).
(It's like saying "Denny Crane," except it really works...)
The surge has failed. It is time for Paul to withdraw the troops.
1) There is no previous LA Times/Bloomberg poll for New Hampshire, so no trends can be noted.
2) "New Hampshire: 1,312 registered (+/-3), 618 Democratic primary voters (+/-4), and 412 Republican primary voters (+/-5)" -- yes, you're reading that correctly, the margin of error at a 95% confidence level is +/-5. That's practically worthless.
In short, this poll really tells us nothing. A series of follow-up polls showing trends may help, though the high MOE would make them suspect unless the trends were very strong.
Nope. It has a 5% margin of error.
How about the elimination of the CIA and FBI?
Or is that a sane and reasonable position?
The Paulnuts are over the top.
Mind you...I despise McCain...for his stance on immigration...for his McCain-Feingold...and, personally, I think he was wrong on Iraq...but, believe it or not, McCain always ranks as one of the most fiscally conservative members of the Senate. And remember, in February 2000, not many people viewed GWB as a real fiscal conservative (boy how that view has proven to be correct)
Calling the founder a clown is gonna leave a nasty mark if he finds out.

Review by:
Ernest Winchester
on May 21, 2011 :
This was a lot less than the previous Heidi story, or should I say Li'l Red? Nowhere near the humor as well. But it gives me a chance to thank you for the reviews and let you know that I am putting the finishing touches to a follow-up story to the strip-poker tale. I'm getting a little long winded in it, over eleven thousand words so far and not quite done. I also note that the only two reviews you have given were two of mine. I could get a swelled head at that rate. But there are many other respectable word slingers out there, so read on.

text: So we've got a bunch of FanForce Chapters assembling here already, but no real place for everyone to come together. I was hoping to actually get to know some new people now that we've all been thrown together in one forum. Anyone up for some world-wide chatting? Stupid thread title is stupid. If anyone wants to change that, be my guest.

Being a leader is about more than just being placed in a position of authority. Many people are given such power, but few of them know how to use it effectively. Being a leader is not something that you innately know how to do. While some people are natural leaders, with the right information, anyone can master the skills of effective leadership.
By working to embody the ideas on the following leadership skills list, you can become a more effective and respected leader very quickly. Put these ideas into practice in your organization, and you will soon see the results that you want.
One of the most important qualities for a true leader is honesty. If your employees and the public cannot trust you, you are going to have a very difficult time persuading anyone to listen to what you have to say. Remember, when you are a leader, you are the public face of your organization. How you behave reflects upon everyone else.
By modeling the highest ethical standards, you can make sure that these same standards are followed throughout your organization. Your employees will take their cues about appropriate behavior from you. If you say one thing in public and do something else in private, they will quickly learn that hypocrisy and dishonesty are acceptable.
Delegation of Authority
Too many people, when placed in leadership positions, are unwilling or afraid to delegate authority to others. Just because you are a leader does not mean that you have to do everything on your own. An important part of leadership is the ability to know when to hand vital tasks off to other people.
Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses, and part of your job as a leader is to be able to identify these. By doing so, you can make sure that everyone is given the task at which they are best. Not only does trying to do everything on your own make your organization less productive, but your subordinates will quickly realize that you do not trust them to carry out important jobs.
A good leader needs to be able to communicate his wishes and his goals in a clear, concise manner. If you do not establish clear lines of communication, you will quickly see the effects of this confusion on the productivity of your organization. People need to know exactly what needs to be done and when it needs to be accomplished.
You also need to make sure that there are always open lines of healthy communication within your organization. Your employees need to feel comfortable coming to you with their problems or concerns. If they are afraid to make waves or bring up troubling issues, these will just remain unresolved until they turn into serious problems.
These are some of the most important qualities found on the leadership skills list. By focusing on these areas, you can make sure that you can act as a strong leader for your organization so that steady progress is made towards your most important goals.

Gingka's Crucifiction Picture
I was peacefully yelling at a tv, watching Beyblade Metal Masters, when I see this *points to picture*. I'm not sure whether to consider this hilarious or insulting, so I say it's a hinsult, a hilarious insult. Recognize the pose from anywhere: [link] Of course, Japanese humor. I see it a lot in anime and manga. But seriously, I mean, seriously, the crucifixion!! I mean, I know they did the levels of Hades, and Cerberus, the three headed dog from Greek mythology, but seriously! Slap a cross back there and boom! You've offended some Christians in America.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #698552 +++
mozilla-central and mozilla-aurora hold a private patch to NSS that implements an API currently needed by Gecko's SSL implementation. We can never ship a version of Firefox that *requires* private patches to NSS like this because it will break Linux vendor releases that use system NSS.
See the blocking bugs to see the work that needs to be done
We should get this done soon.
I tried to help by applying NSS patches in bug 542832.
Now waiting for Brian's feedback whether it looks good.
should this stay open?
Fx 11.0b1 was released depending on an unreleased nss version. Where's the tracking bug for 3.13.2 final release ?
(In reply to Marco Bonardo [:mak] from comment #2)
> should this stay open?
Yes, because the landing was a release candidate (RC0), not a release.
However, we expect no other NSS changes.
If all went well with the landing of this NSS tag, I will create a final release (RTM) tag soon.
Unfortunately, I was informed about the necessity of a last minute change to NSPR.
mozilla is currently using NSPR 4.9 BETA.
Shipping mozilla releases with a NSPR or NSS beta releases is not allowed by policy.
I wasn't aware that changes of NSPR would be necessary. However, I was informed today there is. In bug 699567 people are working to agree on the final change.
(In reply to Landry Breuil from comment #3)
> Where's the
> tracking bug for 3.13.2 final release ?
This bug
I've pushed NSPR_4_9_BETA7 for final NSPR release testing.
(Bug must be kept open until NSS_3_13_2 and NSPR_4_9_RTM have been created.)
We have created the final release tags:
Brian, could you please update all 3 mozilla branches to these new tags?
Note that mozilla-central already has functional equivalent code snapshots, the only difference are in comments, version numbers and one enum symbol got renamed.
Because of this, after landing into mozilla-central, you don't need to wait, it's fine to immediately land into mozilla-aurora and mozilla-beta.
Yes, I will do the landings.
BTW, I guess the convention is for target milestone to stay at the version in which the code landed in mozilla-central; tracking-firefox11 and tracking-firefox12 flags (etc.) are used to track the backporting. (I agree it is confusing, but this is the process we are supposed to follow.)
This is the landing of NSS 3.13.2 RTM into mozilla-central.
One of the above try runs is for mozilla-aurora and the other is for mozilla-beta. They include all of the PSM and NSS patches approved for beta-11 and aurora-12. Once they complete successfully, I will land all those patches on the branches.
Brian, I see you just landed NSS 3.13.2, thanks for that.
However, you didn't land NSPR 4.9, see comment 8, this still needs to be done.
Would you be able to land that, too, or want me to help?
I missed the deletion of one of the private patches in security/patches and I didn't realize this bug was the one tracking the NSPR 4.9 RTM landing until Kai told me so. Thus:
*** Bug 728420 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Thank you Brian!

Well blowout at Eunice
Emergency responders shut down the entry way to through traffic on Hwy. 3116, near La. Highway 13 south of Eunice.
By Todd C. Elliott email@example.com
About 30 people were evacuated from homes in the Buckhorn Road area along La. Highway 13 south of Eunice late Tuesday afternoon due to a gas blowout nearby. A series of what sounded like thunderclaps came from the general direction of an operating well, though there are also gas pipelines and gas plants in the general area.

FujiFilm's Finepix Z700 has technology that snaps a photo when your furry friend smiles. Talk about capturing the zeitgeist. Advertisement This 12MP point-and-shoot is the first to include FujiFilm's pet detection software, but early adopters beware: apparently there are still some kinks to be worked out. At a camera show in Japan this week, the Z700 excelled at shooting stuffed animals but was a bit less successful when live animals were thrown in front of the lens. It also has trouble tracking animals if they're moving around. But if your pet is sitting perfectly still, and is of a type mentioned on FujiFilm's extensive list of breeds that work best with the technology, the Finepix Z700 might help you get that perfect shot. Advertisement The camera will be available later this month for $280. [FujiFilm via PC World]Reply62 repliesLeave a reply

Yes, they may well be the same issue - I notice one of the signatures is only on Windows, and the other is only on OS X.
I'm guessing this might be a regression from bug 668813, specifically the "part 2" patch there. I'll take a look at that and see if I can confirm it.
This happened to me again. It happened during a tab switch.
We merge to Aurora on Tuesday. Any chance we can get this fixed before then. who is the right person to own this.
It looks like https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/list?signature=gfxSparseBitSet%3A%3Atest%28unsigned%20int%29 is also coming from font stuff and started at the same time, so I'd assume that's connected as well.
It seems like this could be associated with font-fallback search, but I haven't yet managed to reproduce it despite visiting a variety of pages (with both Mac and Win nightlies) that should be triggering fallback to find fonts for a mixture of languages. If anyone can identify a URL that leads to this crash, or other steps to reproduce, that would be really helpful.
I'm hitting this all the time today, and Firefox hadn't crashed for me otherwise in literally months.
Any chance you could catch this under a debugger, with a debug build, and get a more precise idea of where/why it's crashing? Is there a pointer or array that looks like it's been trashed?
I filed Bug 678587 for the crash stack in Comment 5 and will add some URLs to that to see if anyone can repro.
Created attachment 552861 [details] [diff] [review]
back out second changeset (family-charmap optimization) from bug 668813
I haven't been able to reproduce this, or to identify the actual cause of the crashes, but I'm suspicious that it may somehow be related to the per-font-family character map added in bug 668813 (part 2) to optimize font-fallback searches.
So I suggest we back out that change (as per this patch) and watch crash-stats for a couple of days to check whether it resolves the crashiness.
Pushed http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/8e1dd6f8b903, which backs out bug 668813 (part 2). Leaving this bug open until we have a couple days of crash-stats, to see whether it actually fixes things.
So, I can reproduce this 100% and I know why it looks to spike....
Steps to reproduce:
#1 open graphwar.com
#2 Deny Java access to the device (not sure if this is needed)
#3 Click the create new game button
#4 Close the tab
Also note graph war is currently on the front page of hacker news...might be the cause of the spike :-)
Actually, looks like you just have to open http://www.graphwar.com/play.html and click Deny. This is on Mac OS X 10.6
Interesting.... but doesn't reproduce for me (tried on OS X 10.6 here as well). It's very possible that the reproducibility is somehow dependent on your machine's collection of installed fonts, as it seems to be occurring during font-search.
Could you try a build that includes the patch landed in comment 11 and let me know whether it still crashes?
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/list?signature=gfxFontFamily%3A%3AFindFontForChar%28FontSearch%2A%29 has now been rising in builds from the 14th and 15th...
*** Bug 678587 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Pushed http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/8e1dd6f8b903, which backs out bug 668813 (part 1).
(In reply to Robert Kaiser (:email@example.com) from comment #15)
> https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/
> list?signature=gfxFontFamily%3A%3AFindFontForChar%28FontSearch%2A%29 has now
> been rising in builds from the 14th and 15th...
Yeah, the exact signatures in comment 1 no longer exist but the crashes still happen with this alternative signature. I've now backed out the first patch from bug 668813, as that seems the only plausible culprit left in the tree.
This had better stop the crashes! (Otherwise bug 668813 wasn't to blame after all, but I don't have any alternative ideas....)
I can confirm with the nightly from 2011-08-16 it no longer crashes as it did. If you want me to get the fonts and stuff, let me know
(In reply to Christian Legnitto [:LegNeato] from comment #18)
> I can confirm with the nightly from 2011-08-16 it no longer crashes as it
> did. If you want me to get the fonts and stuff, let me know
Any chance you can reproduce this under a debug build from before the backouts, and find out the name of the font involved when it crashes? (The mName in the gfxFontFamily object would be a start, at least.) I'd still love to figure out what was going wrong, but was never able to reproduce it here.
This seems to have made Aurora 8. I don't think we need to track this. Please re-nom if I'm a liar.
Closing this, since backing out bug 668813 appears to have fixed it.
Those who were able to reproduce this - we need some help over in bug 668813 to figure out what was triggering these crashes, so that we can actually fix the original issue there. Please see bug 668813 comment 18 and following.

Urban-dwellers seeking to balance the person-to-tree ratio will find a friend in Flip Flap, a petite plant that looks and moves like a cartoon. Waterless, batteryless, and sunless, it's waving leaves may be the lowest cuteness-to-maintainance ratio out there, but you're not completely off the hook - the packaging requests you "please grow your Flip Flap in your mind and bloom your own special flower."

Multipoint Pairing Technology
Multipoint pairing technology The primary method of achieving noise suppression is called "multipoint pairing," which utilizes two microphones-one to capture what you're saying and another to capture the background noise (which is then filtered out). This is similar to what's done with noise-cancellation headsets that have become popular. The noise suppression technology in wireless handsets does a number of additional things to filter out background noise and shape the voice signal."Why in the world doesn't every single cell phone in the world have one of these noise suppression chips?" was my reaction to hearing the difference. You likely can guess the answer: cost. It simply costs additional money for the handset/device maker to add such a sophisticated new technology to the bill of materials (BOM) of the cell phone. They are not typically willing to increase the device cost by $15 to $20 extra to gain such capabilities. The answer may come from wireless operators. They need to make noise suppression a requirement for device manufacturers and then amortize the cost over a multiple-year service agreement. Thus, a chip costing $15 might only add $0.625 per month to a user's cell phone bill under a two-year service agreement. In a recent survey, it was found that users indicated strong interest in noise suppression and were willing to pay $10 to $15 upfront to get it. Noise suppression Bluetooth handsets run $75 to $130. I expect you'll start to see voice-enhanced services such as noise suppression in a number of higher-end handsets come to market later this year. Hopefully, it will become common in many handsets within five years. Someday, we will have all our calls rid of terrible background noise. That "someday" can't come soon enough in my book. J.

He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Disclosure Statement: From time to time, I may have a direct or indirect equity position in a company that is mentioned in this column. If that situation happens, then I'll disclose it at that time.
Noise suppression is also included in a number of new Bluetooth wireless headsets. These headsets also use multipoint pairing to assist in noise suppression. Once you've heard what a call is like when an embedded or Bluetooth-based noise suppression filter is included (compared to a noisy environment), it's really very shocking. For those who use Bluetooth headsets, they should only consider one that includes noise suppression.

I'm working on a patch at the moment in which I control Redrum in Reason 3.0 via Java objects in Max.That's all working fine but I would really like to get it so that the sounds from Redrum can be recorded into a buffer in Max/MSP so that they can then be manipulated.
Is this possible?
Have been trying a few things but no luck so far.
With rewire~ you should be able to send MIDI messages

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Five years after the launch of a two- year renovation plan, the Picasso Museum is finally almost ready to reopen.
It's in the same place: The magnificent 17th century Hôtel Salé in the Marais District of Paris, a baroque mansion gracing one of the oldest neighborhoods of the city.
But much bigger than before -- more than double the space, from 1,600 to 3,800 square meters, featuring 37 permanent galleries, a 95-seat auditorium, a terrace, a workshop for school groups, a café, a redesigned garden and a new roof garden (which won't be ready for the inauguration) and a massive pergola.
The architect Jean-François Bodin has explained that the renovated museum will be a synthesis of the traditional and the modern, which was a particular challenge due to the restrictions imposed by Hôtel Salé's listing as an historic building.
Equally challenging was the controversy around the three-plus years of delay to finish the job and the enormous cost overrun, which ballooned from €30 million in 2009 to a final price tag of €52 million. The overrun was due in part to the purchase of two neighboring buildings to house offices, thus freeing space for exhibits.
While the museum was closed, many of Picasso's works were sent on a world tour, raising €31 million towards the renovation. The government contributed the remaining €19 million.
Despite all that, expectations are running high and important celebrations planned for the reopening, originally scheduled for June but now postponed until September to permit more extensive security measures to be in place. The museum's president, Anne Baldassari, said last week that the result is worth the wait because the transformed spaces will do justice to Picasso's masterpieces to be installed at the end of May.

Brief Explanation of Internal Benchmarks -
While senior leaders and board members often express concerns about how a company's data compares to external benchmarks, it is equally important that companies review their data internally, not just at the high level but diving into each business operation, location, or geography. Such a review can provide specific insight into the effectiveness of communications and training, can highlight trends in the cultural health of certain parts of the company, can help to assess the efficiency of investigations, and can deliver a number of other key operational and cultural metrics. Internal benchmarking provides important context, particularly when observing deviations from the internal norms over time. Here, the sophistication of an organization's case management system, and how it is configured, will determine how robust the analysis can be—offering more tracked data, more context, and more opportunity for actionable conclusions. By looking at the data over time, an organization can compare trends, detect trouble spots, and measure the effectiveness of its program. We recommend the following metrics be included in an internal "deep dive" benchmark review of reporting data.
- Call Categories or Types of Reports:
A review of the types of calls which come in over a certain period can indicate elevated risks of certain kinds of potential wrongdoing as well as gaps in understanding of the policies and laws which affect certain groups of employees. In additionto categories benchmarked externally, organizations may have internal reporting categories to monitor specific risks...

Manhattan's heart was once a hub for vice, teeming with sex shops and drug dealers. Over time that notorious reputation has eroded, and now the area can feel like a tourist-clogged shopping mall. Still, changes such as the stairs above the TKTS booth and a pedestrian plaza along Broadway have improved the sightseeing experience…sort of. If the thought of attending the annual glitzy New Year's Eve celebration gives you hives, you can see the midnight countdown re-created on a smaller scale at the Times Square Visitor Center, thanks to one of the Waterford crystal balls used in years past.

Here's how I feel about Times Square: If you've never been there, it should certainly be on your list of stops. It's one of the most photographed spots in the world and all those advertisements vying for your attention truly are mesmerizing. And after you've had your stop, immediately leave. It is constantly packed with tourists and just people in general, any food or drink in the area is found at exorbitantly overpriced chain restaurants or dinosaur restaurants that can charge whatever they want, and you really don't need anything you'll find in the stores nearby (no, you don't need M&M's with your face printed on them). Want fun New York touristy items? Hit the Bowery and leave this forsaken place behind.

Does anyone have any suggestions about where I could find pure, fragrance-
free talc?
I've tried every store here in town (including the health store, which
curtly informed me that they don't carry ANY talc products of any kind)
to no avail.
I need to create a slurry out of talc, acetone, and IBA rooting hormone
and then evaporate the whole mix in order to create higher concentrate
versions of powdered hormones like RootTone.
Thanks in advance!
