Labour will not win the next general election outright and will have to go into coalition with the Liberal Democrats, former Tony Blair spin doctor Alastair Campbell predicted.
The ex-Downing Street communications chief has been brought in by Ed Miliband to advise on the party's 2015 campaign.
But he said the party leader had failed so far to follow up his "one nation" approach with sufficient "hard-hitting policy" and predicted he would fail to secure an overall majority.
"I think it will be Lab-Lib coalition," he told the left-leaning Fabian Review.
"I was right in 2010, I knew it was going to be a Tory-Liberal coalition."
Mr Campbell said the Labour pledge to freeze energy bills for 20 months was "a good one nation policy" but suggested more was required.
"One Nation is not established. It means to the public whatever the public wants it to mean", he said.
He added: "One Nation Labour worked last year for Ed's speech but it wasn't followed through with hard-hitting policy."
There needed to be a "sustained campaign" behind other attractive initiatives, he suggested - "one on the economy, a couple on public services and one about cultural space".
He told the magazine that rail re-nationalisation was a policy "people can latch onto, and should be explored further."
Speculation over the possibility of a Lab/Lib deal has been reignited in recent days by shadow chancellor Ed Balls apparently extending an olive branch to Nick Clegg.
Mr Balls signalled that he could work with Nick Clegg in coalition after the next general election despite previously appearing to rule it out.
Conservative Party Chairman Grant Shapps said: "Even one of Miliband's most loyal henchmen realises Labour has no long-term plan for the country.
"They can only offer more of the same. More spending, more borrowing , more taxes and no amount of gimmicks will hide that."
Mr Campbell's gloomy analysis of Labour's election hopes came as it was announced he had been recruited by GQ magazine to undertake "heavy-hitting interviews".

The ASOS – enriching the Province of Alberta with outstanding musical events, building in everyone, especially new generations, awareness, and passion towards the extraordinary heritage of classical music.
Imagine the energy, passion and determination necessary to create, from nothing, a new symphony orchestra to represent an entire province!
Emilio De Mercato is attempting exactly that! His idea was to initiate an Edmonton-based touring ensemble to bring classical music to both large and small communities. It's mandate also includes educational programs for schools and people with disabilities. "What we do is for everyone. We're making sure all Albertans have a chance to appreciate a universal art form that people have sdored or centuries – and will adore for years to come," Says Emilio.

I just checked and I can upload a 0 bytes file to my webmail into a message and it accepts it and sends the email. Using FF6 on Win XP, 32bit. This bugzilla system does not accept empty files, but that is analyzed on the server after the upload succeeds.
hi aceman,
i have just created simple file upload form using html and tried to upload a 0kb file. when i submit it. it just doesn't do any thing and even i have tried with file more than 0 kb file then it is successfully submitting it. webemail may be using flash object for upload.
My webmail does not use flash. Can you post an URL to your form? Or can you attach the source html so we can try it?

Ok, on the attached testcase I can reproduce the problem. I do not see any obvious bug in your html. I tested on apache server with FF 6 and 8. Both have the problem. The Web console shows a HTTP POST request for the result.html file, however the server is never contacted (according to its log) and no reply is received by FF.
ssety and aceman, one of you could host those file somewhere and make a test case?
The attached testcase worksforme on Mac, posting to http://landfill.mozilla.org/ryl/echo.cgi
aceman, if you use that url as the action, do things work for you? If not, is this Windows-only?

Updated the testcase to use that echo script and also fixed the HTML (strict mode, comments with 2 dashes (w3c validator complained), etc.)

I used the attached form using your echo script. The screenshot shows there is no reply from landfill.mozilla.org (I assume it was never contacted). It is from Win XP.
Comment 9 is made on Linux, that is why I changed the platform fields.
The testcase works fine in Safe mode. Must be some extension. Sorry about that :(
ssetty, can you post your list of extensions? You can find it in about:support. We can compare them to mine.
I'm able to reproduce this with yesterday trunk in debug on GNU/Linux.
(In reply to Mounir Lamouri (:volkmar) from comment #16)
> I'm able to reproduce this with yesterday trunk in debug on GNU/Linux.
Goes without saying: no extensions and no plugins.
Oh, ignore comment 16 and comment 17. I was using an invalid file :(
aceman, do you use NoScript? I believe the issue you see can come from NoScript.
Could you do this and try againg:
1. Go to NoScript preferences;
2. 'Advanced' tab;
3. 'XSS' tab;
4. Uncheck "Turn cross-site POST requests [...]";
5. Click 'OK';
On a Firefox 5 clean profile with only NoScript, I had the same issue. Doing that fixed it.
Yes, I also found out it is due to noscript (by disabling it).
Unchecking the feature you say fixes the problem too.
However, shy would it only stop empty files and it doesn't seem to convert the requests to GET (webconsole still shows POST).
And also, when I tested the original testcase (in obsoleted attachments) on my local server, the request was not cross-site. The feature seems to be broken and interfere wrongly. I'll contact noscript author.
I'm traveling and commenting here from my smartphone, but the data gathered so far seems to hint at an edge case mishandling in the injection checks on cross-site POST requests. Will check as soon as I'm back (tomorrow).

It is enabled by default.
As I said, looks like a multiple extensions conflict.
Could you try disabling all your extensions except NoScript, then readding them one by one?
Having only noscript enabled with that option enabled is enough to reproduce the problem (WinXP). Turning off that option fixes the problem. Should I attach my noscript configuration? Scripts are currently globally enabled.

A minimal request observer which reads the upload stream and rewinds it
Any http-on-modify-request observer which needs to read the upload stream (like NoScript and any HTTP monitoring extension) triggers this bug, which probably consists in the upload stream being left in an inconsistent state when it's read and rewound, but only if a 0-length file is present.
All you need to do to reproduce on a clean profile is running this script from a chrome privileged context (e.g. the Error Console) and using the testcase in attachment 558743 [details] immediately after (the observer gets removed on each upload).
i have tested by disabling 1 by 1 extension.it is working fine.
DownThemAll! 2.0.7 is extension causing issue for me.
Giorgio, thanks.
Looks like the issue is that Seek() on a buffered stream doesn't pass the seek on to the underlying stream in cases when the seek is to a position that's already in the buffer. Which means the "reopen on rewind" behavior doesn't kick in, the file stream remains closed, and things fail.
If the file stream is nonzero in size then mBufferStartOffset in the buffered stream ends up nonzero, 0-mBufferStartOffset ends up as a really big number, and hence > mFillPoint and we end up actually doing the seek.
Created attachment 567002 [details] [diff] [review]
Make sure that zero-size files wrapped in buffered streams are correctly reopened by a seek after EOF.

Make sure that zero-size files wrapped in buffered streams are correctly reopened by a seek after EOF.
Review of attachment 567002 [details] [diff] [review]:
You should set mEOF = true also in nsBufferedInputStream::Read when mBufferDisabled == true. I think for zero-size stream the condition offsetInBuffer <= mFillPoint will pass for disabled buffering.

Good catch on mBufferDisabled. Added a test for that, which did fail with the original patch, but that needs nsIStreamBufferAccess to be scriptable, which I think is fine anyway. Going to get sr from bsmedberg on that part.

You may want to change all places to use bool/true/false consistently, PRBool -> bool is going to happen in few minutes from now.
And I forgot about one more place: not sure what the behavior should be when someone calls SetEOF on the stream. It looks like some input streams implement that method too. Maybe if call to the unbuffered stream's method succeeded set mEOF=true too?

Some Hungarian Easter Customs
Lent, Holy Week
A 40-day lent precedes Easter when people rarely eat meat. Some have meatless meals only on Fridays.
Women clean the whole house, wash the windows and a few days before Easter they start baking cakes and pastries and prepare kocsonya, a rich jellied soup cooked with pork meat, skin, smoked meat and spices.
The traditional forms of easter egg painting (egg shoeing and other techniques) are practiced mainly in the villages, though today you can learn them at Easter festivals and craft workshops.
On Good Friday afternoon religious people go to the church to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and participate on the symbolic procession that follows Christ's final route.
It's a day of mourning and fasting, many people also avoid doing household chores.
Churches remain unadorned – no flowers are placed and candles are not lighted, statues and icons are covered.
The church bells will remain in silence until Sunday, the day of resurrection. On Holy Saturday the religious commemoration continues with the consecration of fire, the holy water and lighting the Paschal candle.
People make a solemn procession into the church where the first mass since Maundy Thursday begins after dusk.
Traditional Easter Dishes
Saturday evening marks the end of the Lent and people have traditional dishes:
- smoked ham with pickled horseradish
- hardboiled eggs and
- fresh white bread or milk-loaf.
On Easter Sunday morning the Easter bunny brings presents for the little ones.
In our family kids make a nest from grass for the bunny to place the gifts and sweets.
The little ones rush out of the house early morning to see what surprises had the bunny placed in the nest or hidden at other places in the garden.
They usually have their fill of chocolate eggs, bunnies, chicks, and other sweets over the weekend.
The master or the mistress of the house takes a basket packed with ham, eggs, horseradish, milk loaf and a bottle of wine to the church where the priest blesses the food.
The content of the basket varies slightly from region to region.
The family eats all the blessed meat for breakfast, not a crumb should be wasted because the blessed food considered to possess magical powers.
For example the crumbs of the milk loaf are given to the hens so that they lay more eggs.
Mainly meat dishes (poultry, pork, lamb, and rabbit) dominate the traditional Easter Sunday lunch with various garnishing. Many housewives bake beigli (pastry rolls with walnut or poppy seed stuffing) not just for Christmas but for Easter too.
See also our Hungarian Easter Recipes.
Easter Monday
On Easter Monday morning boys and men sprinkle women with perfume or with cold water, for which women give chocolate eggs or some change in return.
Men of course gather strength with a shot of pálinka (Hungarian fruit distilate) and they usually spend the rest of the day with more boozing.

This HIVRAD program builds upon our recent successes in generating stable, proteolytically mature gp140 trimers (SOSIP gp140s) that mimic virion-associated envelope (Env) in topology and antigenicity. The overall goals of this HIVRAD program are reflected in three major milestones: 1) determine the structure of cleaved Env trimers at <4A resolution, 2) demonstrate methods to overcome HIV-1 Env's immunosuppressive properties, and 3) identify a SOSIP trimer vaccine that elicits heterologous neutralization of diverse HIV-1 isolates. These goals are reliant on the preparative production of novel SOSIP trimers in highly purified, homogeneous form. SOSIP trimers are exceptionally complex biomolecules whose production requires a high level of technical expertise, and Core B lends this expertise to the HIVRAD in order to support the goals of Project 1 (HIV-1 Env Vaccine Design, Dr. Moore) and Project 2 (HIV-1 Env Trimer Crystallography, Dr. Wilson). The overall role of Core B is expressed in terms of four Specific Aims: 1) Produce and characterize Env proteins for crystallography studies;2) Produce and characterize Env proteins for immunogenicity studies;3) Evaluate the immunogenicity of Env proteins in small animals, 4) Evaluate Env proteins for effects on human dendritic cells and antigen presentation in vitro. In addition to producing SOSIP trimers, Core B provides a central resource for additional high-quality materials (e.g., gp120 monomers, control antigen, CD4-based proteins, antibody Fabs) that are required by Project 1 and Project 2. Core B also possesses significant experience in vaccine testing and thus will be responsible for performing small-animal immunogenicity studies in collaboration with Project 1. Lastly, Core B will collaborate with external groups to explore and understand the interactions of HIV-1 Env with human dendritic cells in vitro. In addition, Core B will serve as a central point of contact and will manage consortial/contractual agreements with several leading academic and corporate collaborators who lend specialized expertise in the areas of vaccine delivery (Aldevron, Fargo, ND), NAb analyses (Monogram Biosciences, South San Francisco, CA), NAb specificity analyses (Dr. James Binley, Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies, San Diego, CA), in vitro immunogenicity studies (VaxDesign, Orlando, FL), and exploratory immunogenetics (Dr. Sunil Ahuja, University of Texas). In fulfilling these roles, Core B represents an integral element of this innovative, multidisciplinary HIVRAD program.
Nearly 1% of the world's population is infected with HIV, and a preventive vaccine is urgently needed. Most efficacious vaccines elicit antibodies that can neutralize the pathogen, but current-generation HIV vaccines are not effective in this regard. Obstacles include our limited understanding of the structure and immunology of HIV-1 envelope trimers. This HIVRAD represents an innovative approach to addressing these challenges in order to provide a fundamental advance in our ability to elicit HIV-neutralizing antibodies with a vaccine.

Alright, factions... [NOTE: I am NOT trying to take away the fun of those having a ball with competitive campaigning for factions before any official word is made, I'm just trying to clarify the purpose of Factions in Destiny's main plot and main gameplay focus. So don't hate plz] The common idea with factions is that they're made to go against eachother. These factions are supposed to be fighting for victory over one common obstacle. Everything about Destiny so far HAS NOT pointed in the direction of faction-based competition. The faction system in Destiny is simply built to suit different people's play-styles, moral preference and look/feel. The whole point of the game is that ALL of us are working together to re-establish humanity as the once thriving race it used to be in the solar system. This has been misconstrued by many to simply mean: "Which party you wann run with?!" It's not about parties, it's not about competition (for the most part at least), it's about what you want to support. You guys should keep in mind that this is built as a co-operative video game and not exactly meant to be a solo MMO. MMO's with conflicting factions usually tend to be very PvP or solo play based. Destiny is the opposite, which is why a lot of us like it. Also, yes, it is quite early to start aligning yourself to a faction of which you know nothing about, but quite honestly, you can tell a good chunk about the New Monarchy faction just by it's name. You can also tell a lot about the Dead Orbit faction, and maybe even the 7 Seraphs... Though I can tell you right now, I bet that there isn't much in the way of group-on-group battling going on. I don't doubt there may be some vendettas from one group to another simply for friendly competitive reasons, but for the most part, there's no reason for us to campaign violently against eachother. Yeah, it'd be cool to have opposing factions and such, but that's done all the time. Why don't we have factions that work together rather than constantly fight? That's the point of Destiny. So you guys should chill on the "WE'RE GONNA KILL DEAD ORBIT, NEW MONARCHY FTW!" rants because, A. We don't know jack about any of these groups yet except for maybe a few basic things, B. This is a community based game and we're supposed to be helping eachother out, C. Save that for the faction battles as shown in the ViDoc.

City close in on Eto'o
Manchester City's chief executive Garry Cook and football administrator Brian Marwood were in further talks with Barcelona over Samuel Eto'o yesterday which City hope will lead to them being given permission to talk to the player. City are ready to pay a huge wage, though not a figure as high as the extraordinary £192,000 a week after tax which has been suggested. City also hope to conclude a £17.5m deal for Blackburn's Roque Santa Cruz in days, rather than weeks.
Clubs vying for Vignal
Former Liverpool defender Grégory Vignal says Stoke and Porto are monit-oring his situation. The Lens left-back spent 2007-08 on loan at Southampton but is out of contract this summer.
Galacticos ready to sit tight
Following David Villa's protestations this week that he has decided on his future, the Real Madrid president Florentino Perez yesterday said the club were prepared to wait to secure the services of the Spaniard. "The operation is a question of time," Perez said. "We have the whole summer and it will be important to explain the signing to both sets of fans."
Barry bound for Brum
The Birmingham manager, Alex McLeish, hopes to be reunited with his former Rangers captain Barry Ferguson, saying: "He is one of a number I'm interested in."

Vermaelen set for Gunners
The Ajax centre-back Thomas Vermaelen is due to undergo a medical at Arsenal today. "When a club like Arsenal stands at your door, you just go," the 23-year-old said. "I feel so proud, Arsenal is a fantastic club and one that, as a child, I enjoyed watching. This is one of the most beautiful days of my life."
Coyle extends Clarets stay
Burnley manager and recent Celtic target Owen Coyle has signed a two-year contract extension at Turf Moor, keeping him at the top-flight newcomers until 2013.
They miss...
Lyons yearn to keep Karim
Lyons president John Michel Aulas said the club retain a slight hope of keeping sought-after striker Karim Benzema. "There is a tsunami called Real Madrid which provokes reactions at Chelsea, Man City and Man United," Aulas said. "It is very complicated to say he is non-transferable. It's obvious we want to keep him. For the moment, I managed to convince them not to go further."

The Catholic Church, AIDS, Condoms, and Specious Arguments
In a post Ross Douthaut called The AIDS Libel, he employs some dubious rhetoric in defense of the church's insistence on abstinence, vice condoms, in the face of an African epidemic. First he demands proof that African Catholics have higher infection rates. OK, to save time, I'll give him that one. But not this one:
...consider that Benedict XVI is the head of an international institution that does as much to fight disease and poverty as any NGO in the world. The Church runs hospitals, clinics, and schools; it channels hundred of millions of dollars in donations from the developed world to the wretched of the earth; it supports thousands upon thousands of priests, nuns and laypeople who work in some of the most difficult and dangerous conditions in the world. And it does so based on the same premises—an attempt to be faithful to the commandments of Jesus Christ—that undergird the Pope's insistence on preaching chastity, rather than promoting prophylactics. There are many other NGOs working in Africa that proceed from different premises, and take a different attitude toward matters sexual as a result, and if David Rothkopf prefers their approach that's perfectly understandable. But unless he's willing to tell the Catholic Church that it should fold up its charitable operations in the developing world and go home, I'd prefer to be spared the lectures on how the Pope is responsible for "massive death and suffering" among populations for whom Catholic institutions have provided lifelines beyond counting over the years, just because he isn't willing to to use his pulpit to preach the importance of playing it as safe as possible, health-wise, while you're committing what the Church considers mortal sin.
Let's begin with this: Where does the church get the bazillions it dispenses as largesse around the world? From individuals and from the incredible wealth it's amassed over time based on its influence. It didn't earn that money; it was given that money. And that bankroll rightly belongs to the world and should be spent there.
When the Pope gives up his mansions and jewel encrusted hand towels, I'll be impressed with his munificence. The church has a duty to the world to do the good it does. That's why we give it money (tax exemption, anyone?). To make the world better.
Next: Because the Catholic Church conducts large scale charity, it cannot be criticized?
It reminds me of the colonialist apologia that goes something like: "Sure, we'll apologize for our supposed imperialism in the Third World. Then we'll apologize for building all the roads and schools, etc. etc." Please. You steal my car then expect praise for getting the oil changed regularly? Why not argue that the church can't be criticized for the pedophilia it blighted the Earth with, while doing all that charity work, unless we're willing to ask them to take their ball and go home.
Douthaut should have stuck to his first tactic. He can buy himself a lot of time while his critics gather these unnecessary statistics; it's a first year debate trick but you can keep a straight face going there in this case (what if you're not an African Catholic but the only hospital for miles around is and refuses to give out condoms lest you commit a mortal sin?). But the argument that the Church can't be criticized without a simultaneous refusal of its largesse just won't fly. That's all our money; Benedict is just its steward.

White Cloud Fry Help???
Hey everyone,
My White Cloud Mountain Minnow had her fry last night and I do not know what direction to go.
I have almost all the fry in a breeder box on the side of the aquarium right now with a few pieces of cabomba in there. I am changing about a quarter of a cup of water twice a day and I am feeding a crushed flake liquid fry kind of mixture that I made because of mom and pop fish store is closed because they went on vacation. I am feeding twice a day but I don't know if there eating but I do know that it is a really fine mixture that I siphoned with a flour siphon.
Please give me any tips!

Do you buy Ocado? A growing army of consumers do. The online grocer is rapidly joining the likes of Marks & Spencer, and, erm, Waitrose as a middle-class icon. It isn't hard to see why. Ocado's customer service is first rate. So is its product range, much of which comes from Waitrose, to which it is still sort of tied in a sort of mutual co-dependency.
Trouble is, a growing army of investors are shopping elsewhere. The shares have lost about half their value in the past year because of real concerns about whether this rare British-based internet phenomenon will ever generate sustainable returns. Sigh. If only this was America, where they don't expect their internet sensations to make much money.
Ocado is growing fast. Sales for the three months to 19 February jumped by 10.9 per cent, a far cry from the 24 per cent bound in the week before Christmas, but better than expected nonetheless.
What's more, it said its capacity problems have been ironed out, and a new centre in Warwickshire will anyway double the amount of orders it can handle in a year's time. Presumably as long as there are no glitches, and glitches are really rather par for the course when opening big new centres.
Therein lies Ocado's problem. It has to keep on adding shiny brand-new infrastructure while its rivals can smooth expansion by making better use of what they already have. Those capacity problems at Ocado's Hatfield depot last year meant the grocer had to scramble to hire temporary staff and revert to old-style hand picking to get orders out, losing money.
Tesco's online offering is not as efficient as Ocado right now. the retail sector's big beast is opening more customer-free "dark stores" purely for handling online business. Tesco has nearly 50 per cent of the online grocery market. It could easily handle more.
Meanwhile, Morrisons has barely got started. Ditto M&S (with a similar customer base to Ocado). And then there's Waitrose, which might at some point become a serious competitor as opposed to a (reluctant?) partner.
Really, Ocado has proved a godsend to the consumer. It is still streets ahead of the competition in terms of service. But how long will investors tolerate the fact that the love is not being shared with them? Ocado says it will pay them off. But there are doubts about that. If its rivals start to work out why Ocado has become so loved so quickly (I'm looking at you Tesco) those doubts can only grow.
Glencore may sugar its bid for Xstrata
So Glencore is more DHL than Goldman Sachs. That was the line from the commodities group's founder and chief executive, Ivan Glasenberg, yesterday.
One of the problems Mr Glasenberg faces in trying to convince institutions to back his proposed merger with Xstrata, the mining group, is that they have a certain amount of scepticism about what Glencore brings to the table.
Glencore has an image problem. It is seen as the home of hard-faced commodities traders, people who play roulette with rhodium and blackjack with beryllium.
The earnings produced by that sort of activity are seen as risky, volatile and low quality.
Au contraire, says Mr Glasenberg. What we do is simply ship the commodities people need from A to B. We mine a bit ourselves too, and if we make a bit on the side with some clever trading, where's the harm in that? And anyway, the deal was structured around the market's valuation of Glencore's shares. If Xstrata's dissident institutions think that is wrong, then they should talk to their institutional investment colleagues who set the Glencore price.
Mr Glasenberg says even though this is a "true" merger of equals, Glencore is still paying a small premium and Xstrata people have most of the top jobs. So Xstrata shareholders hoping for some sweeties can forget it. Or can they? It is worth pointing out that Mr Glasenberg hasn't formally ruled out a sweetener. He says Glencore would need to make a formal Stock Exchange announcement to do so. Why not take that step then?
Maybe Schroders, Standard Life and Fidelity are on to something. There is a perception that whether Glencore is a DHL of commodities or a Goldman Sachs or a bit of both, it wants and needs this deal more than Xstrata does. Perhaps that is why Xstrata executives took the top jobs (is that what they demanded to back the deal?). Perhaps that is why the institutions think they can squeeze Mr Glasenberg for extra.
Lack of women execs is weakening Cameron
Here's a chance for David Cameron to mend some fences with business. The CBI, with an eye on what Brussels is up to on the issue of women on boards, wants Mr Cameron to resist any suggestion of quotas. It's not alone. Look, look, says business, the FTSE 100 is up from not very much (12.5 per cent) to a bit more than not very much (15 per cent). In a year!
How many of those were in the executive roles? Ah, erm ... !The proportion of female executives actually fell. Mr Cameron will have them singing his praises on the back benches if he shakes his fists at the European Commission over quotas.
There are good arguments against. The abysmal rate of progress Britain has made is making them look weak.

Hikaru is the beautiful and beloved second son of the Emperor. As his father's favorite Hikaru has been given the surname of Genji, branding him a commoner; for as a commoner, Hikaru is spared from the ordeal and fighting that surrounds the successors to the throne. Liberated of this fate, Hikaru is free to live a life of pleasure with his many lovers scattered across the land. From the intelligent and beautiful Rokujou to the delicate and gentle Yuugao, Hikaru Genji manages to capture the heart of any woman he so desires.

Story: Genji, also known as Between the Sheets, a Japanese legend. The anime follows the legend of Genji, a prince turned commoner. Despite being a commoner, he's still fabulously wealthy and uses this wealth to buy his lady friends pretty gifts. And he has a lot of lady friends.

This is all very interesting, it seems that Boa Hancock may be a Shichibukai after all I wonder though what the "Mero Mero" ability is, if I read it correctly it had something to do with "Stone" or "Love"? (maybe making someone fall in love with you??)

-Luffy tries to escape Amazon Lily, but he's assaulted by the amazons (including Margaret). When he examines the arrow that he was shot with, Margaret tells him that they're infused with Haki.
-It's confirmed that Boa Hancock is a Shichibukai. She meets with Vice Admiral Momonga (one of the Buster Call Vice Admirals if anyone's forgotten), who tells her she has to fight against Whitebeard. She doesn't want to, but also says she doesn't want to lose her Shichibukai status. She seems to have a DF ability called "Mero Mero", which turned Momonga's men into stone (Momonga himself resisted the power by stabbing himself). Momonga then tells Hancock that she has two days to decide whether or not she'll participate in the war....
Well, I think this confirms once and for all that only one day's passed since the events on Sabaody. I'm not surprised that the amazons know about Haki, since I figured that the seperation would result in Luffy learning a Haki-related ability. I wonder how strong Margaret is then, if she knows about it....
And I'm so glad that we got to see one of the Buster Call VAs again. I'm actually hoping that we see the rest of them appear at whatever locations the rest of the crew ended up at (I'm especially interested in seeing Doberman and Onigumo appear again). And... it looks like Hancock is NOT ugly after all (but her sisters sure are... ugh, one of them even has a forked tongue!). I can't wait to see how strong she really is....
All in all, another kickass chapter!

More like Greek mythology. Hancock and her sisters are undoubtedly based on the three Gorgon sisters (Medusa, Stheno, and Euryale). Though Hancock herself seems to be the only one who has the "stone" power. I also have no doubt that she knows Haki as well, since Margaret is even familiar with that particular power....
And I must say, I love how Momonga is wearing a suit that's similar to the one Kizaru wore. I'd love to see him in action, as well. His appearance also strikes me as being one of a hardened veteran, like Doberman and Onigumo....
Edit: Heh, someone beat me to the Medusa connection. Still, from the spoiler pictures I saw, it doesn't look like Hancock's power is activated by eye contact so I don't think a mirror will do thr trick on her... just a strong will is necessary (as Momonga already proved).
Edit 2: I just found out another interesting bit of info: Amazon Lily is NOT in the New World.... it's an island in the Calm Belt. This instantly explains why the island seemed so remote (what with it being surrounded by Sea Kings and all). I guess this means that Kuma sent the rest of the crew to islands in the Calm Belt, as well....

Ha, I guess I trusted your theory right. About Hancock being a Shichibukai.
The Amazons having strong Haki is not far-fetched, as a warrior race, they are brought up in an environment where the strong rules over the weak. They are literally brought up by intimidation. Like how the Amazons are afraid of Hancock finding out that a man has stepped on the island. This shows how much intimidation Hancock has imposed upon them.
Hancock's ability, I think is not limited to turning people to stone. Mero mero has several other meanings, being in a drunken daze and also the state where someone is charmed by attraction. An example is Sanji's Merorin Beam, using his power of love to shoot a love beam lol
To be meromero, you are so deeply in love with someone that you lose control of yourself.
I've thinking Hancock's ability takes her attraction to extreme levels, you can say she can make herself so attractive to you, that you become petrified. You can even say she has fatal attraction.

Y'know, the fact that Boa has a snake theme, along with the fact that she seems to have a "charming" DF power makes me think that she might "hypnotize" men in a similar manner to snake charming (by playing music or something like that). I'd find it highly amusing if she makes Luffy wriggle around like a snake in a basket.
Oh, and I rather like that hawk-like bird that's standing next to Hancock (he (she?) looks pretty badass). I wonder if that bird will turn out to be a DF weapon...?

Luffy is mega combination of characteristics and abilities that makes him immune to lots of things lol
And Ace getting an execution in 1 week of One Piece? I guess that means 2-3 years later for us.

^Also forgot to mention the name of Hancock's sisters: Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold. Also, the name of Hancock's pirate crew is the "Kuja Pirates", which makes her the SECOND Shichibukai so far that gets to keep their crew (the other being Moria, of course).
Oh, and Hancock's apparently quite spoiled, which she justifies with her beauty. I wonder how old she is, though? She's the oldest of the three Boa sisters, according to the translation. There's still that slight chance that she'll turn out to be Luffy's mother....

Now the correct thread...
Hancock has a great ability...an ability that won't work on Luffy. Additionally, Luffy will get the chance to learn about Haki. So, great fortunes coming one after the other for him. If that is also the case for the others, then when they all come together again, all of them will be a completely different person (and, going a bit ahead, it may seem like the islands are selected specifically by taking into account everyone's characteristics, no wonder Rayleigh surprised, especially if he heard the names Garp and Dragon as the masterminds for that plan, though I highly doubt it, nothing to lose by mentioning).

Props to Oda for having a female become one of the "big" villains (she is not the big, but still part of the elite), too bad her power is so silly. Still, this more than fulfills my mental wish list for One Piece, so I am going to put a big mental check next to female Shichibukai box, and twiddle my thumbs in anticipation of an upcoming fight (hopefully Oda have Luffy actually fight her, sadly enough, I can also imagine that Oda will have Luffy beat Boa only for to then become like the other uber attractive female pirate (Alvida), falling in love with Luffy (which I am not that interested in)...)

Hancock's ability silly?
Don't you see its another form of Haki? She has double layers of aura.
You can't dominate your opponent by fear? Why not dominate them with your charms?
Nothing created by Oda is silly, he makes the silliest things the most badass.

Yeah, I kinda saw Hancock's power as being a form of Haki as well, which would mean that there could be a chance that it would have some sort of effect on Luffy, considering how powerful she is (maybe the charms could effect him subconsciously?). Too bad we haven't got any info on her former bounty so far. I'd like to see just how notorious she was before she got her Shichibukai status....
Oh, and I wonder if we'll see any other high-tier Kuja pirates aside from Hancock's sisters? Depending on whether or not any other Straw-Hats aside from Luffy are on Amazon Lily (or if Aphelandra and Sweetpea decide to join forces with Luffy and Margaret), those particular three may not be the only main "bosses" to worry about. Momonga doesn't really strike me as being a threat, since he seems more concerned about the Whitebeard situation (and he's not allowed to set foot on Amazon Lily anyway)....

At least she is really beautiful, for the story's standards (or maybe more). And, that means, if Lola is her daughter, either she has a strange taste in men, like monsters, or Lola is just some kid she came across during one of her battles.
And of course, her being a Shichibukai along the standards of Crocodile (in terms of the value she gives to them) is a good news. Lastly, how is Garp still a vice admiral? It feels like he is levels above the current guy who was about to get wasted (considering the ones with him had already done so).

Oh yeah, I mentioned before that Amazon Lily's in the Calm Belt, but I just found out now that the reason Hancock's crew can sail around it is because her ship is supported by gigantic venomous snakes called "Yuda", which even sea kings are afraid of. The Kuja pirates are truly a formidable group of ladies....

Economics and Culture by David Throsby
Book DescriptionIn an increasingly globalised world, economic and cultural imperatives can be seen as two of the most powerful forces shaping human behaviour. This book considers the relationship between economics and culture both as areas of intellectual discourse, and as systems of societal organisation. Adopting a broad definition of culture, it explores the economic dimensions of culture, and the cultural context of economics. The book is built on a foundation of value theory, developing the twin notions of economic and cultural value as underlying principles for integrating the two fields. Ideas of cultural capital and sustainability are discussed, especially as means of analysing the particular problems of cultural heritage, drawing parallels with the treatment of natural capital in ecological economics. The book goes on to discuss the economics of creativity in the production of cultural goods and services; culture in economic development; the cultural industries; and cultural policy.

Superintendent applauds efforts of local educators
St. Mary Parish Superintendent of Schools Donald Aguillard
In a recent speech at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C., Superintendent John White strongly criticized local school boards and districts in Louisiana stating that the majority are governed by "stale politics" that "don't allow good education ideas to filter up from teachers and improve schools." He reiterated, "Most school district offices are just loosely conjoined fiefdoms, and in most cases do not work at all with the business of boosting student achievement."
Since my tenure as a district superintendent began in 2004, I have observed our instructional staff work exceptionally long hours, meet unreasonable deadlines, create instructional calendars and frameworks, analyze copious aggregates of student data, and exceed all of my expectations. To my knowledge, Superintendent White has never visited any St. Mary Parish schools. Although he has dispatched various members of a network team that has spent the majority of their time garnering knowledge and innovative ideas from my staff as St. Mary Parish had previously implemented most of the team's suggestions and recommendations.
St. Mary Parish has not spent the last 10 years idly waiting for the Department of Education to provide strategies and methods for improvement. My staff has investigated, piloted, and successfully employed research-based interventions and engaging instructional delivery systems that include Fast ForWord, Reading Assistant, Failure Free Reading, Moby Max, Dibels Next, Kahn Academy, Benchmark Formative Assessments, Extended Day, and Credit Recovery. As a result of these and other instructional innovations, the district has been cited in several educational association articles that highlighted our fidelity of implementation, student participation rates, and corresponding academic growth.
School district instructional staff has been working steadily on the transition to the Common Core State Standards since 2010, creating parish workshops, reference guides, frameworks, and curriculum using the new standards. Meanwhile, the Department of Education lagged on releasing resources for curriculum implementation and frequently issued contradictory updates and deadlines.
The productive efforts of my Central Office staff, along with our committed school administrators and teachers are well-documented in the unprecedented eight-year 26.1-point gain resulting in an effective district performance score of 105.2, awarding the district with a "B" letter grade.
The Louisiana Department of Education, under the direction of Superintendent White, has been an organization with ever-changing mandates and no definitive answers. The level of stress that has been placed upon teachers is highly imbalanced. Only 30 percent of Louisiana teachers statewide were evaluated using a Value-Added-Model (VAM) score during the 2012-2013 school year. VAM scores are based upon students' expected growth in a year compared to the students' actual growth. The expected growth measure is used to determine 50 percent of a teachers' final evaluation. In a recent weekly newsletter, Superintendent White spoke about the release of the expected growth measures stating, "We could take these data to be predictive of a student's future successes, but they are not and should not be taken as such. For one, there is no accurate way of projecting the future. But more important, our job as educators is to shape the future, not to accept a historical trajectory as destiny." Thus, the expected growth is not a predictor; yet, this is exactly what the state is using to determine the VAM scores of our teachers.
As St. Mary Parish superintendent, it has been professionally awkward to be forced to continuously declare state protocol to board members and district staff because the guidelines change often — many times without warning. My staff and I must research to affirm aspects of current practice to be able to answer teacher questions with the most up-to-date protocol. The personnel evaluation plan and salary schedule has been completely overhauled to adhere to new laws. Although Superintendent White has publicly claimed that districts have control, the reality is that the districts have been pressed to continually meet the fluctuating demands of the state department.
The 2013-14 school year motto of Student Focused, Achievement Driven exemplifies our unwavering commitment to the young people of St. Mary Parish. We began in 2004 with this one focus on student success, and that focus has enabled our district to rise to "B" performance level status, increasing our parish achievement score by over 25 percent. Despite the myriad of changes in curriculum standards, evaluation procedures, financial supports, and accountability measures, St. Mary Parish remains undaunted in its dedication to providing the best education possible. For the superintendent of education to disparage the valiant efforts of our School Board, instructional staff, administrators, teachers, and students on a national stage is offensive. As the superintendent of St. Mary Parish, I applaud the unprecedented growth and consummate dedication of local educators whose tireless work has significantly impacted the educational futures of our young people despite the indecisive and wavering support descending from the state level.

Maybe refurb has the problems ... 08/09/2012
This review is from: Logitech 970-000001 Revue Companion Box with Google TV and Keyboard Controller
Having Google TV (w/Chrome browser) makes this product worth the problems. It's a wonderful device, despite a few problems, and provides a real browser for your TV with a real keyboard to use. However, it's possible my refurb is the problem. If new ones work as advertised, it's essential at this point.
Having to reboot every time makes it a pain.
Other Thoughts:
Basically, every time I turn on the TV I have to reset the Revue. Soon (8-8-12 this review written) Vizio is supposed to have a similar device, a small box with Chrome, etc. Apparently they no longer make the Revue.
