Area air quality improves
Improvement is attributed to good weather

Air quality in Alachua County has improved more than in any other county in the state, according to a report from the American Lung Association, but the improvement was the result of good weather, not a reduction in air pollution.
Air quality measured by ozone levels in 13 Florida counties improved between 1999 and 2001, with Alachua County air making the state's biggest improvement during the three-year period, the American Lung Association said in its fourth annual "State of the Air Report," released today.
But the lung association report said favorable weather, specifically a break from summer heat, and not improved air quality efforts, was the impetus for declining ozone levels.
Air-pollution cleanup activities, such as efforts to clean aging power plants or measures to reduce local vehicle traffic, played a minimal role in the national decline, the association said.
"Four years into the American Lung Association State of the Air reports, where we've analyzed data since the mid-1990s, we can point to no significant ozone improvements other than a few lucky changes in the weather," said John Kirkwood, president and chief executive officer of the lung association.
"We can't depend on Mother Nature to protect Americans from disease and death caused by breathing human-made smog," Kirkwood said.
The main ingredient in smog, ozone is produced when sunlight and warm temperatures mix with volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides, both byproducts of fossil fuel combustion. Vehicle exhaust and coal-fired power plants are heavy contributors to the chemicals in the atmosphere.
But as temperatures drop, ozone production declines. If data reveals that summertime temperatures returned to normal in 2002, the short-lived decline in the nation's ozone is expected to surge again in the association's 2004 report.
The report, a comprehensive catalog of ozone levels from counties across the country, measured the number of days per year that county air quality exceeded federal standards. Grades of A through F were assigned based on how often ozone levels climbed above 0.08 parts-per-million during an eight-hour period, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's threshold for maintaining healthy lungs.
A potent respiratory irritant, ozone presents a major health risk to children, the elderly and those with chronic lung disease, especially in heavily urbanized areas, the report said.
In Florida, Alachua County topped the list of counties with improved air, climbing from an "F" the past two years to a "B" in the 2003 report. Escambia County took the state's top honors as worst ozone contributor with 24 days of elevated pollutants, compared to 2 for Alachua County.
The report's data is culled annually from state and federal records during regional ozone "seasons," periods of warm, sunny weather. Ozone season in the southeastern United States typically runs from March to September.
The news comes at an ominous time for the country's air quality monitoring efforts.
Recent proposals to roll back federal air pollution regulations could threaten to weaken the 33-year-old Clean Air Act, the nation's foremost air quality safeguard, the association said. One such change, a shift in the act's "New Source Review" safeguard, would remove mandatory air emission upgrades for aging power plants that make facility improvements, the report said.
"Trying to drastically weaken New Source Review is the tip of the iceberg of policy changes that would weaken the core of the Clean Air Act," Kirkwood said.
But that view has drawn criticism from Bush administration officials, who claim that changes are needed to the current review process to ensure future air emission improvements are made.
"The need for reform is clear and has broad-based support," EPA Administrator Christie T. Whitman said in November, when the proposed rule change was announced. The current rules, she said, "have deterred companies from implementing projects that would increase energy efficiency and decrease air pollution."
While federal rule changes will continue to throw national air quality into question, however, the news of an improved ozone grade may mean little for local air pollution control efforts, said Chris Bird, director of the Alachua County Environmental Protection Department.
"The ozone data that has been generated in Alachua County indicated that county air quality with respect to ozone is clearly affected by what's going on in the region," Bird said, and "not just Alachua County."
For example, vehicle exhaust, power plant emissions - even forest fires - from far away counties and states can impact air quality in the Gainesville-area, Bird said.
In fact, much of the region's air pollution woes originate in major urban centers north of Florida, including Atlanta and Birmingham, Ala., the air report said.
And even if ozone problems did originate within county limits, EPD officials would have little oversight in curbing its proliferation.
In February, citing a tight budget year, the County Commission cut the county's $200,000 air monitoring program, shifting responsibility to the state. Since then, ozone monitoring has been conducted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

我不知道这个中文名称从何而来。它的原名称应该是Unspunnenfest。Unspunnenfest 每11年举行一届。上次是2006年,下次要到2017年。
Unspunnenfest is a festival held in the town of Interlaken, Switzerland, near the old ruin of Unspunnen Castle, in the Bernese Alps, approximately once every twelve years, most recently in 2006. The festival highlights traditional Swiss culture and features competitions of Steinstossen (stone throwing), Schwingen (wrestling) and yodeling. The stone throwing competition uses an 83.5 kg (184.1 lb) stone known as the Unspunnenstein ("Unspunnen Stone"), made of Aare granite from the Hasli valley.
The Unspunnenfest is a festival held in Interlaken and the neighbouring communities of Matten and Wilderswil approximately every twelve years. The festival highlights traditional Swiss culture and features competitions of Steinstossen (stone put), Schwingen (wrestling) and yodelling.
The history of the festival dates back to the 13th century, in the meadows of Unspunnen Castle。 The first official festival was held on August 17, 1805。A second competition was held in 1808, but the original 184 lb (83 kg) stone was lost in the intervening years, and the 1808 festival used a 167 lb (76 kg) stone. The third festival was not organized until the centenary in 1905, using the 1808 stone, now with the dates 1805 and 1905 carved into it. However, it wasn't until 1946 that the festival, then known as the Swiss Traditional Costume and Cowherd's Festival, was held at regular intervals. After 1946, the Unspunnenfest was staged at regular intervals: 1955, 1968, 1981 and 1993.
The last Unspunnenfest was held in September 2006. The next celebration is scheduled for the year 2017.

The tens of thousands of secret US military documents passed to the Wikileaks website paint a far grimmer picture of the war in Afghanistan than our political leaders have ever conveyed. They show that Western forces are often scandalously careless of civilian life in that country. Some 140 incidents are recorded in which Afghan civilians were killed. They died in misdirected airstrikes, shooting sprees by panicking troops, or raids by Special Forces. And it not only the US military which has been responsible for such carnage. Polish, French, German and British troops are also recorded as killing civilians. While it is impossible to verify all that is contained in these documents, it is clear enough that appalling events have gone unreported by Western forces.
The papers also confirm that the Pakistani intelligence agencies are suspected of aiding the Afghan Taliban; that there is deep corruption in Hamid Karzai's government and that the country's police forces are often unreliable. Much of this was already known of course. Special Forces were generally understood to be operating in the country. The collusion between elements within the Islamabad intelligence services and the Taliban has been an open secret for years. And complaints of official corruption have been commonplace. What has changed is that we now have documentary evidence of this dark side of the Afghan conflict.
And in the case of botched operations we can compare the picture presented by these documents with the official accounts put out by the Nato coalition over the years. And that reveals perhaps the gravest scandal of all. We see how military spokesmen and government officials repeatedly misled the public and concealed the truth. After one raid that went wrong, the coalition claimed, with no clear evidence to back it up, that the Taliban had used civilians as human shields. After another, it put out a statement noting the death of insurgents, but making no mention of the civilian casualties incurred. The misinformation fed to the public both in Afghanistan and the West has been routine. And none of this could have been justified as necessary to protect the lives of troops or for reasons of operational secrecy. This deception was about covering up horrendous mistakes by Western forces.
The documents raise profound questions about this war. We are told that the strategic goal is in Afghanistan to win the support and confidence of the native population. And yet the record appears to show that an Afghan life is worth far less than that of any Westerner.
Have things changed? These documents date from the period between January 2004 and December 2009. Since then we have had the orders of the former military commander, General Stanley McChrystal, for troops to place a greater emphasis on avoiding civilian casualties. But those casualties continue. Only last week, 45 civilians were apparently killed in an air strike in Helmand. It also stretches credulity to suggest that military practices have changed beyond recognition in the past seven months.
In their response to these documents the authorities have demonstrated that they have learned little since the leaking of the Pentagon Papers in 1971. Washington has once again attacked the messenger for compromising national security, rather than addressing the substance of the revelations. Instead of complaining about whistleblowers, the US and other Nato governments, including our own, need to explain how they will perform a thorough audit of civilian casualties in Afghanistan and prevent military spokesmen misinforming the public again. Until they make a serious commitment to enhance transparency, the only conclusion that many will draw is that the appalling picture these documents paint of the Afghan war remains the reality.

The Royal Engineers who yesterday defused the 1,000lb Second World War armour-piercing bomb on the Dorset island after a 31-hour operation, were aware of the new methods but had to use procedures which have changed little since 1945.
The British developments in using water to suppress the effects of explosions have attracted much interest in the US and the company, Dell Explosives, is also talking to Japanese experts about using water, with other additives, to suppress and contain releases of chemical agents after the sarin gas attacks on the Tokyo tube.
The idea of using water to suppress the force and heat of an explosion is not new. There is an old safe-cracker's trick which uses a water-bottle placed against the keyhole when blowing a safe.
"It's how you do it," said Michael Fellows, a former Navy clearance diver and authority on bomb-disposal, who now runs the company.
Mr Fellows had completed a safety audit of the Portland naval base when he was invited to examine the Portland bomb with a 170lb explosive charge inside it.
"I got down on my knees and had a look at the fuse. Major Nick Clarke asked me how I would deal with it. I told him I would use a water suppression system. He didn't know of it. I said I'd be happy to give him the system free. They'd love to use the latest research but there are standing procedures they have to follow."
Current regulations required full evacuation within 1000 metres. "I'd have evacuated 200," said Mr Fellows, "and that's going over the top. I would have put 10 tons of water on it. If I had a `full order' [bomb- disposal slang for the whole bomb going off] I wouldn't be worried because the water suppression would contain it."
Mr Fellows said future commercial bomb-disposal contractors might tender for contracts with local authorities.

Better buying initiatives to help acquisition professionals save money
Acquisition professionals' commitment to continuous improvement could help the military services adjust to smaller budgets, a senior defense acquisition leader said May 20.
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Frank Kendall spoke to Defense Logistics Agency employees at the McNamara Headquarters Complex during an update on the defense budget and the Better Buying Power 2.0 initiative.
Better Buying Power 2.0 is the second phase of DoD's efforts to strengthen its buying power and improve industry productivity. Better Buying Power 1.0 began in 2010 with 23 goals, some of which are now integrated into DoD's business processes. Others are part of 2.0, which includes 36 goals in seven focus areas.
"The whole idea is about controlling costs and being conscious of costs," Kendall said, adding that affordability is more important than ever.
"The departments kill a lot of programs, because they find out after several years and several billion dollars that they were unaffordable," he added. "We have to limit our programs to the things that we know we can afford."
Kendall said acquisition professionals must work harder to determine what an item should cost rather than blindly going with a price that's within budget. That means analyzing all aspects of the contract and looking for specific areas in which costs can be lowered.
"You look for places where you can save money and do better than what's been done historically or previously. It's about being aware of and focusing on the cost," he said.
Promoting competition within industry can also reduce costs, he said.
"Competition works better than anything to reduce cost, whether it's through reverse auctions, regular auctions or any other means. Competition does work," he stressed.
Aligning profit with performance is another way acquisition professionals can encourage productivity, he continued. Rewarding manufacturers that provide material at lower prices, earlier than scheduled or more technically advanced than planned, for example, benefits the Defense Department while encouraging industry to be more innovative.
Better Buying Power 2.0 is about continuously improving processes as well as building an acquisition talent pool and improving employees' skills, Kendall said.
"It's about not accepting the status quo, challenging the way you do business, rethinking it, looking for better ways to do things, measuring performance, and then making adjustments," he added.
Kendall said consideration has already been given to Better Buying Power 3.0, which he said he expects to focus more on equipping warfighters with the latest technology. The work acquisition professionals do to save money through Better Buying Power 2.0 will help make funds available for technology developments.
"So you are an enabler for the other things the department does. Every penny you can save has a very good place to go in terms of getting us more capability," Kendall added.
The town hall was followed by three focus groups in which DLA Acquisition employees discussed how they can improve workforce development, program management and industry productivity.

Anytime I study companies for a potential investment, I always try to do plenty of research on the company, reading annual reports, analyst reports and articles on the firm. Many times I end up reading very positive articles where owning company's shares is mentioned as a no-brainer decision. After reading the articles however, I am always surprised when authors are not owning shares in this otherwise slam-dunk investment.
That being said there are valid reasons for not owning a company's stock, such as waiting for a pullback or due to conflict of interest. Either way however, I prefer to listen to an investor who has skin in the game. Authors who are good at writing articles, have very little to teach me about investing, where the major part of success is based on investor psychology, rather than neatly organized content. I believe in learning from those who practice their skills, not those who claim to have knowledge of it. After all, if you went for a surgery, would you go for the person that has all the theoretical knowledge, or would you go for the person who has actually practiced their skill?
I do not trust financial advisers whose goal is to sell you products you do not need. I cannot trust a college kid with a degree who has never dealt with psychological dilemmas of investing decisions. I enjoy reading articles written by authors who talk about their own experiences as investors.
I also prefer books from authors who have made it in the investing game, or at least discuss a particular topic from their own experiences. If they failed that is fine with me as well. Sometimes you increase your chances of success and gain more knowledge on a given topic when you learn what not to do, rather than what you should be doing. If you narrow down investing books to only those based on personal experience, rather than the academic ones describing your hypothetical returns, you are only left with a handful.
The reason why I prefer following investors with skin in the game is because you view situations differently when money is on the line, rather than using statistics and pie in the sky models. That is why I respect individuals with stake in the game. Warren Buffett for example, the world's most renowned investor and the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) is the epitome of an individual with a stake in the game, who have always treated investors that have trusted him with their money as partners, and looked after their best interests. He made a lot of money for himself in the process as well.
Richard Kinder, the CEO of Kinder Morgan Inc. (KMI) is another individual that I greatly admire. His interests are aligned with the interests of Kinder Morgan (KMI) shareholders and Kinder Morgan Energy (KMP) limited partners. The higher the distributions that Kinder Morgan Energy Partners achieves, the higher the dividends that this CEO with the sky-high salary of $1/year will receive. Compared to Richard Kinder, even Buffett's $100,000/year salary looks excessive.
Compare this to the typical CEO compensation however, which runs into the millions of dollars, no matter what the financial performance of the company they are heading. Some CEO's spend more time gaming the system, and wasting shareholders' money on ill-timed ego boosting acquisitions or share buybacks, while collecting big paychecks. For example, in 2009 I posted a chart of the CEO's that collected enormous bonuses, while their companies were struggling and had to cut distributions to shareholders.

Talk about adding insult to injury. If you deposit a bad check into your bank account, you've lost that money, plus there's a good chance the bank or credit union will whack you with a fee -- maybe $15, $25 or more.
Why? Because you're in the best position to determine if the person you accepted the check from is a good risk, says John Hall, spokesman for American Bankers Association.
"The bank has never met this person and has no relationship with them. You are liable because you decided to accept a check from this person."
With an increasing number of consumers selling personal items or services to other individuals, it's certain that more and more people will find themselves stuck with an occasional bad check. Businesses generally have more clout and financial wherewithal to deal with bad checks; for consumers, it can be a much more trying experience.
Not only will you be stuck with the bounced check and possibly a "deposit item returned" fee; your bank might charge you with nonsufficient-funds fees if any checks you wrote bounced because you didn't have as much money in your account as you thought.
If accepting bounced checks isn't a habit, you should explain the situation to your bank and see if they'll waive the fees. But the main job ahead of you is recovering the money owed to you by the bad-check writer.
The first thing to do is call the check writer and ask that they come up with the money. It may have been an innocent mistake that can be made right with an apology and a payment.
If that's not the case, then check with your state attorney general's office because bad-check law varies from state to state, and you may find that you have options other than small claims court.
Most states require that you send the check writer a certified letter. Ask that the money be paid by money order or certified check. You can also request to be reimbursed for the bad-check charge imposed by your bank. Some states require the check writer to respond within 10 days; others allow 30 days.
If the check writer doesn't respond or refuses to pay, you can go to small claims court. The clerk's office will give you instructions for how to proceed. You'll need to bring evidence -- the original bounced check, a copy of the certified letter you sent to the check writer, any responses you received from the check writer and a bank statement that shows a fee for depositing a rubber check.
Small claims courts generally limit losses to up to $2,500 or $3,000, but some go as high as $5,000. The clerk's office can tell you what damages you can recover in addition to the original amount of the bounced check plus court fees. In some states you can sue the person for up to three times the amount of the check. You're also entitled to interest if the debt is paid over time.
But suing someone and actually getting your money back are two different things, says Lynn Goldberg, vice president of New York-based National Credit Systems.
"Suing someone is a real quagmire. You can go through the justice system, sue, get your day in court and win a judgment. The problem is the judgment is nothing more than a piece of paper. There's always the problem of getting the money. An individual executing a judgment, well, it's something the average person just doesn't know how to do."
Don't be discouraged; a lot of defendants pay up when the judgment is made. But if the culprit doesn't pay within a stipulated time, usually 20 to 30 days, you can go back to court and try another avenue such as wage garnishment or a lien against property. Judgments are usually good for about 10 years and can be renewed, so you have a long time to recover the money.
Keep in mind, the defendant has the right to appeal and doesn't have to pay anything during the appeal process.
One hitch is that small claims courts have limited jurisdictions. If you accepted a check from someone in another state, you may find that you'll have to go to a higher court to sue.
"You could get a judgment in your state, but now you have to bring that judgment to the person who wrote the check. You have to take it to the state where that person is located and get a court in that state to enter the judgment," says Gerry Goldsholle, an attorney, former prosecutor and founder of Advice Company.
"So, now the local sheriff or marshal exercises attachment or levies powers against the person's property in that state. But you'll have to pay sheriff's fees; now you're out a lot of money."
And that's the rub: You could soon incur more costs than the original debt. Somewhere along the line you may have to decide whether it's worth continuing. If the amount owed is large enough, you may want to consider hiring an attorney or a collection agency to handle the situation for you.
Another option, if you're lucky enough to have one in your area, is a state or district attorney's check-recovery unit. These offices vary in the depth of services they perform, but some are very aggressive and take a huge amount of the workload off the victim's shoulders.
In Mobile, Ala., the Mobile County check-enforcement unit operates out of the district attorney's office. Bad-check writers are given a chance to settle up, but perpetrators who don't cooperate could be arrested, according to spokeswoman Debra Powell.
"A lot of people don't make the distinction that this is a crime. We tell them there's a warrant for their arrest and give them five days to come in. We try to work with them as long as we don't consider them a predator. But if they're evasive, we'll go after them. We'll find them at work or dropping their kids off at school."
Powell says the victim is expected to send a certified letter to the check writer. If the check writer fails to respond, the victim can come to the check recovery unit and start the process.
"We enter the check into our computer and create a warrant and an affidavit. Then we take the victim and the paperwork to a magistrate where the victim swears the claim is true and correct. Everything is placed in a court file and we then send a letter to the check writer. We give them five days to respond.
"If they come in, they have to pay the face amount of the check plus a $30 fee to the victim. They also have to pay us a $94 warrant fee. If they don't come in, we go after them. If they're supposed to show up for any other court -- traffic court, divorce court -- we're there waiting to arrest them."
Powell says her unit collected over $2 million in the past year.
The obvious lesson in all of this is to not accept personal checks. But for people dealing locally with one another or sometimes even out of state, it understandably can be easier to use a check, but it's not wiser.
A seller isn't likely to wait until the check clears before taking delivery of the merchandise. John Hall of the ABA says you can't call a bank and ask if there are adequate funds to cover the check because privacy laws would prevent them from giving you that information.
According to the ABA, only about 1 percent of all checks bounce. But some 40 billion checks are written every year, so that's about 400 million checks that bounce. You can lessen your chance of becoming a victim and avoid the hassle and expense of taking someone to court by requesting that buyers pay you by money order, certified check or a money transfer by Western Union.
You could even use services such as PayPal and Escrow.com, which are frequently employed by people who buy and sell over the Internet. This is very much a situation where an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Clint Morris, live from San Diego
So here we are, the only day of the year when browncoats, trekkies, star wars fans, rainbow brite buffs and dudes in hired 'Batman' costumes, get together. Now, you'll have to excuse the tardiness and (probably) the grammar- I've just returned, a few beers later, from a New Line Party with my fellow webmasters. But I'll try my best to run down the day's activities… um, that's give a 'run down' not 'run down', as such. Oh, you know what I mean…even if I don't.
After a brief stroll around the massive exhibition hall (talking to folks like "Futurama" legend Billy West, and a dozen cartoonists whose names I've never heard of), I headed to the first panel (well, mine anyway) of the day : "Flyboys". Fortunately, it was the weakest of the lot, so the day didn't go out like an unfizzy Pepsi.
Mightn't be a bad movie, but the panel left didn't exactly leave one salivating for an advance screening weekend. We were treated to some clips from the film (a couple of good aerial dogfight scenes), a trailer (not bad), and some Q&A and Question Time with those involved, including director Tony Bill and Dean Devlin. A lot of techno gabble basically (full interview coming soon), but one interesting off-topic titbit from Devlin (producer) : He's now in talks to do two more "Stargate" movies. James Franco recorded a video introduction to the footage.
Sony Animation
A trio of films featured, including "Open Season" (the major) and "Surf's Up". The latter looks fantastic. Its a CGI documentary chronicling the life of a surfing penguin, voiced by Sheia LeBeouf. It looks to be one of the best family films in quite some time – and the most imaginative too. Can't say I'm sold on "Open Season" – though the clips we were shown were mildly humorous – if only because the studio seems intent on letting everyone know that it's a toon buddy film for Martin Lawrence and Ashton Kutcher – two of the most unappealing actors around.
Warner Animation
Though everyone (and I mean, everyone – the place was packed!) was essentially there to see the teaser for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (or "TMNT" as it will be called), Warner Bros showed us some footage and trailers from other films like "Happy Feet", which looked reasonably funny (but nowhere near as good as "Surf's Up") mostly thanks to the comedic brilliance of Robin Williams, and "The Ant Bully", a CGI film based on a book of the same name, which looked entertaining, though a little old-hat since it resembled no more than a profusion of "Antz" and "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids". But yes, as I mumbled before, the big one was definitely "TMNT", and thankfully, Kevin Munroe's retelling of the classic cartoon caper got a rousing reception. The brief trailer got a round of applause, but the footage that was shown from the film – 5 minutes of near-finished scenes, mostly mug shots and fighting – got a better reception. Apparently the full voice cast for the film will be announced within the next month (he confirmed that Corey Feldman will not be back), but Monroe says the legendary Mako ("Conan the Barbarian") is voicing Splinter (some narration of his was heard over the footage – and it sounded great). Apparently the plan is to do a trilogy of "Nina Turtles" movie, with Shredder – who isn't the villain of this first movie – possibly featured as more of a central villain down the track.
The Horror Panel. Well, mostly. There was Stan Winston and Jim Isaac talking up the new werewolf movie "Skinwalkers". The footage did nothing for me. Didn't look very exciting at all. Thankfully, it was a brief component of this session. Much more entertaining was a clip from the new Jason Statham actioner "Crank" – with Statham and others (Amy Smart was supposed to be there, but for some reason, was a no show) participating in the panel that followed the scene. Statham got a huge round of applause, and anyone allowed near the mic insisted on telling him how "fucking awesome" he is. The only interesting thing that came out of the panel though, was that Statham starrer "Revolver", the big floperoo he did with Jason Statham, will get a release in the states soon (or rather there are "negotiations" happening, says Statham). As I had to rush off for a screening of "Accepted" – because I'm interviewing the stars, including Justin Long, tomorrow – I didn't get to see what was shown of "Saw 3", or hear from the panel participants, but I'm sure someone else on this big stout web universe did.
Tomorrow : The day starts off with a chat with Samuel L.Jackson, a meet-up with Hilary Swank, a post-"Superman Returns" yab with Bryan Singer, some more panels, a couple of parties, David Boreanaz, Holly Valance and the cast of "D.O.A", and a couple of other surprises. More soon.

Opensuse's Build Service Offers Three OpenOffice Versions
Three new branches in Opensuse's build service provide various OpenOffice packages: stable, unstable and extras. This replaces the previous OpenOffice build service.
The Stable Version is the current stable version (2.2.1) of the OpenOffice package for Suse distributions. The branch with the unstable version offers OpenOffice packages for the developer version of OpenOffice. These packages are the same as the OpenOffice package in Suse Factory, which offers downloads of the latest Opensuse developer versions. The Extras version contains add-ons such as dictionaries and templates, both of which are usable in combination with the stable and unstable versions.
All OpenOffice packages are available for the current 10.2 stable version of Opensuse, its predecessors Suse Linux 10.0 and 10.1, and Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.0. To download one of the OpenOffice versions from the build service, users can launch Yast and add the path to the repository to view information on the available software packages. Yast will download the OpenOffice version and update the existing version if so desired. The RPMs in the Yast "Software Installation" module do not include the stable, unstable or extra names, but simply state the version numbers besides indicating the status and the installation path.
The Software Search Area of the build service also gives users who search for "Openoffice" the ability to download individual package components so that users can just download template packages, or individual translations without needing to install the complete package.

Exotic and Super Spicy Foods Korean Kimchi
Kimchi is a traditional Korean pickled dish made of vegetables with varied seasonings. It is a delightfully fiery hot and delicious Chinese cabbage dish. However, it must be prepared far in advance. When you sit down for Korean foods and they bring you sixteen bowls of vegetables, fish, pastes and sauces – a lot of that is kimchi. It is always something that's there (at the table).
It is a traditional fermented food from Korea. The most common type of kimchi uses napa cabbage as its main ingredient, but it can also be made with daikon radishes, cucumbers, or other ingredients. It is made mainly by salting Chinese cabbage and dressing it with red pepper powder, garlic, ginger, scallions and radish. This mixture is then placed in clay containers called onggi and left to fermentate slowly. November and December are traditionally when people begin to make kimchi; women often gather together in each others' homes to help with winter kimchi preparations. It is a Korean fiery foods product that few people in the west have even heard of, much less tasted. But all
China Sichuan Cuisine
Sichuan Cuisine, known more commonly in the West as "Szechuan," is one of the most famous Chinese cuisines in the world.

Wild vegetables and meats such as are often chosen as ingredients, while frying, frying without oil, pickling and braising are used as basic cooking techniques.
It can be said that one who doesn't experience Sichuan food has never reached China.
Typical menu items: Hot Pot; Smoked Duck; Kung Pao Chicken; Water-Boiled Fish; Tasty and Spicy Crab; Twice Cooked Pork; Mapo Tofu

Gillespie returns to Yorkshire
Views: 2 | | November 15, 2011 6:52 PM
The 36-year-old played for the county in 2006 and 2007 and has coaching experience developed with the likes of Australia A and IPL franchise Kings XI Punjab since retiring.
He currently coaches the Mid-West Rhinos franchise in Zimbabwe and will work alongside Yorkshire captain Andrew Gale under the county's director of cricket, Martyn Moxon, in a revamped coaching set-up.
Gillespie is expected to work particularly closely with Yorkshire's fast bowlers while Paul Farbrace will be in charge of the second XI and Ian Dews has been retained in a new role as director of cricket development at Headingley.
Moxon told the club's website he believes Yorkshire now boast an "excellent blend of experience" and he is "looking forward" to the future under the new regime.
"I received good reports from Australia about Jason Gillespie's coaching so far in his career. He's been in charge of Mid-West Rhinos in Zimbabwe so he has experience of managing a team," he added.
"He'll be in charge of the day-to-day running of the 1st Team with the captain. He has a vast playing experience, played in one of the best teams there has ever been and he's talking from a position of strength as far as the bowling coaching side of things goes."

Continued from page 5
TCR: Yes, after Japan's real estate bubble collapsed, prices in the major cities fell by about two-thirds and have rebounded only very little from the post-crash lows.
If a lot of Chinese lost a lot of money in real estate, one has to assume they're going to be very unhappy. I recall a conversation with another Chinese man who lives in the States half a year and in Beijing half the year. When I asked him about the real estate bubble in China, his comment was, "Well, the government would never let it fall," and he said the same thing was true of their stock market. To put it mildly, he had an inordinate amount of faith in the Chinese government's ability to prop up bubbles.
VK: As you can tell from my accent, I was born in Russia and spent half of my life in Soviet Russia. From my direct experience, the Russian propaganda machine was very, very powerful, and so many people believed how smart the leaders were and that they could do nothing wrong.
China is not that much different from Russia in that respect. Due to the government's control of the media, the average citizen has been brainwashed into thinking of the government with respect. They has led to an unconditional belief that the Chinese government walks on water, that the laws of economics are somehow suspended when they touch things (except they also did a fine job convincing not just their own citizens but the West as well). Sure, they have a greater control of the economy, but at the long-term cost we talked about earlier. That's point number one.
Point number two can be understood by asking why people are buying those apartments, why are they buying this real estate? In part it is because if they put money in the bank – where the government basically sets the rates on savings accounts and the checking deposits – they are getting very little interest on their savings. Therefore they look at real estate as basically a form of savings.
Some analysts will argue that it can't be a bubble because of the lack of leverage, given that in China you have to put 30%-40% down when you buy an apartment. It is a large down payment. But think about how much wealth will be destroyed when real estate prices decline – and that in itself could trigger a serious crisis in China because it would destroy a lot of wealth, and that could lead to political unrest. So that would be very important psychologically and for the political stability of the Chinese economy.
TCR: What would typically trigger the end of this real estate bubble?
VK: To some degree, a real estate bubble is like a Ponzi scheme. As long as there is an incremental buyer, prices keep going up, but at some point everybody who wants to buy a house has bought a house, so when an incremental buyer is not there, the prices start declining and then it becomes self-feeding. It's very difficult to time the end, but there is always an end.
TCR: What about commercial real estate?
VK: If you look at commercial real estate, it's often one subsidiary that is borrowing money from another subsidiary to put a down payment to build or buy a building. And a lot of times land is used as collateral. As land prices decline, so the loan-to-value ratio can jump through the roof very quickly when real estate prices collapse.
TCR: Talk a little about the renminbi. The Chinese government has been making noises about possibly allowing it to rise against the dollar, but from a practical standpoint, can they actually afford to let that happen?
VK: They could let it rise on a very gradual basis, but they absolutely cannot allow it to rise very rapidly because that would quickly diminish the value of the foreign reserves. But there is a conundrum. When the Chinese economy bursts, there is a very good chance the renminbi will actually depreciate, because you are going to have a flight of capital leaving China. So right now you may argue that China's currency is too cheap, but during the crisis it's probably going to get cheaper.

A Basic Cheese Risotto
|Olive oil/Canola oil
|2 Tablespoon
|2 Small, finely chopped
|1 , finely chopped
|Arborio/Long grain / basmati rice
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Long grain rice/Basmati rice
|1 Cup (16 tbs) (Arborio)
|Chicken stock
|4 Cup (64 tbs)
|Shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|Grated parmesan cheese
|2 Tablespoon
|1⁄8 Teaspoon
|1⁄8 Teaspoon
1. Heat the stock to a simmer in a medium saucepan, then lower the heat so that the stock just stays hot.
2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over moderate heat.
3. Add and sauté chopped onions and shallot, for 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
4. Add rice to pan and stir well to coat thoroughly with the oil mixture. Sauté rice for 2 to 3 minutes until the rice becomes almost translucent and gives out a nutty aroma.
5. Add a ladle of hot chicken stock to the rice and stir until the liquid is fully absorbed.
6. When the rice appears almost dry, add another ladle of stock and repeat the process.
7. Continue adding ladles of hot stock and stirring the rice while the liquid is absorbed. As it cooks, you'll see that the rice will take on a creamy consistency as it begins to release its natural starches.
8. Continue adding stock, a ladle at a time, for 20 minutes or until the grains are tender but still firm to the bite. If you run out of stock and the risotto still isn't done, you can finish the cooking using hot water.
9. Stir in the Cheddar cheese and the and season to taste with salt and pepper.
10. Serve Risotto right away garnished with Parmesan.
It's important to stir constantly, especially while the hot stock gets absorbed, to prevent scorching, and add the next ladle as soon as the rice is almost dry.
A properly cooked risotto should form a soft, creamy mound on a dinner plate. It shouldn't run across the plate, nor should it be stiff or gluey

Click here for a video about MAF's 2nd Annual K9 Cancer Walk and Canine Cancer Campaign.
Currently, more than 40 teams have registered for the walk- but there's still room for more. The Foundation encourages all dog lovers to participate. To register, visit www.K9CancerWalk.org.
Walk-day registration is $35 for adults and $20 for children 10 years old and under and begins at 8:30 a.m. All canine cancer research supporters who are not able to attend the walk in Elk Grove are encouraged to participate in Sit & Stay for a Cure, which gives dog lovers a chance to virtually participate in the walk from the comfort of their couch--and help dogs enjoy longer, healthier lives.
This year's event includes 3K and 7K lake walk options. Participants can visit with more than 20 vendors, and after the walk, they can listen to experts discuss cancer prevention, wellness and cancer research and treatment and can learn how to advocate for their dog's health. All registered walkers will receive a 2010 K9 Cancer Walk T-shirt and a bandanna for their dog.
Eukanuba, 4GVerizon Wireless, Inc., Franklin Ranch Pet Hospital and Sacramento VCA Referral Center are this year's event sponsors.
An estimated 50 percent of all dogs will battle cancer. It is the No. 1 cause of death in dogs over the age of 2. Participating in this walk is a great way to memorialize a beloved dog lost to cancer or create a brighter future for a current canine companion. Help Morris Animal Foundation help your best friend live a longer healthier life.

The LIGHT OF TRUTH CENTER is a spirit filled non - profit serving women recovering from addiction. It has a new innovative approach to recovery that has proven to work. It changes women from the inside out. It works on changing their thinking about themselves and then the outer behaivor reflects that. Everything is provided for them during this process. I am glad and so happy to be a volunteer for this wonderful organization.
The Light of Truth Center is one of the most inspiring, worthwhile and helpful organizations I have encountered in my many years of community service and advocacy. The vision of Vaile Leonard, founder, (inspired by her own experiences with addiction recovery) is a model of excellence for serving women who are seeking recovery from substance abuse addiction and the housing they need to be stable as they go through the process. The housing model is an innovation in recovery housing that builds counsciousness within all who participate, whether receiving services or volunteering. What makes LTC so unique is the spiritual principles that are modeled and lived (not just talked about) by the founder, staff and volunteers and the commitment to keep the main focus on what empowers the women in residence to move forward in their lives. The love, genuine caring and concern is so evident in the quality of services, atmosphere and environment Over the 16 years that I have volunteered and /or supported the LTC I have seen women who others had given up on, turn their lives completely around and discover their own abilities to live better lives. From the loving, compassionate but disciplined attitude of staff to the quality of program components that uplift, treat and teach real world living skills to residents, it is a wholistic approach that has been accomplished largely through the commitment of people to serve women in ways that support them to understand their worthiness. I absolutely love the Light of Truth Center, the work being done and all the wonderful souls who are part of this amazing journey. With appreciation, respect and deep gratitude to all who are part of LTC I Am, Reverend Bernette L. Jones

Bettman: NHL prepared for lockout if no deal by Sept. 15
NEW YORK — With time running out on NHL labor talks, commissioner Gary Bettman cautioned Thursday that the league is prepared to lock out its players if a new collective bargaining agreement is not reached by Sept. 15, when the current deal expires.
"Time is running short and the owners are not prepared to operate under this collective bargaining agreement for another season, so we need to get to making a deal and doing it soon," Bettman said after the two sides met at the league headquarters.
When asked if Sept. 15 is a hard deadline, Bettman said, "Our efforts are going to be devoted to trying to make a deal." He then reiterated his previous statement that owners aren't prepared to operate under the current system.
Saying a "wide gap" still existed between the two sides on numerous issues, Bettman added the potential for a lockout is something the NHL Players' Association has been aware of for much of the past year.
NHLPA executive director Don Fehr referred to the split as "a meaningful gulf."
Fehr returned to the negotiating table after a trip to Europe, where he met with players in Moscow and Barcelona.
The NHLPA head did not have an immediate response to Bettman's comments, because he spoke before the commissioner made himself available to reporters. Fehr did reiterate the union is open to continuing talks beyond Sept. 15 if no deal is reached, and entering the season under the current system.
"Under the law, if an agreement expires, that may give someone the legal ability to go on strike or impose a lockout," Fehr said. "There's no requirement that they do so, and if nobody does anything, you continue to work under the old conditions until they do change. … So if there's lockout, somebody has to choose to do this."
Talks are scheduled to continue Friday in New York, before shifting to the union's headquarters in Toronto next week. That's when Fehr expects to make a formal counteroffer to the league's initial proposal.
The union did make a presentation to the NHL on Thursday, outlining some of its economic positions in response to what the league has put on the table.
The NHL is proposing to cut players' share of revenues from 57 percent to 46 — and that percentage drops to 43 when taking into account revenues the NHL deems should not be shared with players. That would translate into as much as a $450 million shift in revenue in the owners' favor.
The league is also seeking to restrict free agency on several fronts. That includes limiting length of contracts to five years (there are currently no limits in place); lengthening the time a player must wait to be eligible to become an unrestricted free agent from seven years to 10; and eliminating players' rights to salary arbitration.
Fehr, on Thursday, said the NHL is essentially asking its players to pick up all the costs in a new deal. He also questioned whether NHL teams have any desire to share revenues among themselves to maintain a level of parity.
Without going into detail, Bettman said the NHL does intend to continue to have revenue sharing in what he called "an enhanced way."
Bettman did confirm that the NHL is seeking to decrease the players' share.
"We start from the premise that the fundamental proposal, our initial proposal, relates to the fact that we need to be paying out less in player costs," Bettman said.

Float with no Worries
and a Careless Nature.
For the Test of Life doesn't care
About your Pleasures.
A Breeze Blows by
Through a Willow Tree.
That has no Restrictions,
This is what it means to be Free.
Green Tinged Wheat Fields
Yield to the Wind
But only because they are Careless
and are Happy just to Breath.
A Bubble Floats By
With Out a Care in the World
and Winds try to Destroy Him
With no Care for his Soul.
But he Floats with no Worry
For he lived a Happy Life
With no Unnecessary Agony
and The Power to Fight.
Be Like a Bubble
Careless and Free
Float through the Green Tinged Wheat Fields
and Pass the Willow Tree.
Life Doesn't need to be
A Worrying Spree.
Careless is the Nature
That You Need.

Invesco PowerShares Announces Changes To ETF Family
In an effort to position its business for future growth opportunities and to align its family of ETFs with the changing investment landscape, Invesco PowerShares announced today (Friday) that it plans to close 19 of its ETFs. The affected funds represent less than 1% of Invesco PowerShares' total assets.
"After carefully evaluating numerous factors including shareholder considerations, length of time on the market, asset levels and the potential for future growth, we proposed closing certain portfolios that have not gained sufficient acceptance with investors," said Bruce Bond, president and CEO of Invesco PowerShares. "We remain fully committed to the ETF industry and expect to offer new, exciting products in the months ahead."
At a May 1, 2009 meeting, the PowerShares Funds Board of Trustees approved the closings. May 18, 2009 will be the final day of trading on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") and NYSE Arca, Inc. ("NYSE Arca") for the affected ETFs (collectively, the "Funds") listed below:
|Ticker Symbol
|PowerShares Dynamic Aggressive Growth Portfolio
|PowerShares Dynamic Asia Pacific Portfolio
|PowerShares Dynamic Deep Value Portfolio
|PowerShares Dynamic Europe Portfolio
|PowerShares Dynamic Hardware & Consumer Electronics Portfolio

In early May 2009, the Funds will begin the process of closing down and liquidating their respective portfolios. This process will cause each Fund's holdings to deviate from the securities included in its underlying index and each Fund to increase its cash holdings, which may lead to increased tracking error. Effective May 19, 2009, the Funds will be closed to new investors.
Shareholders may sell their holdings prior to May 19, 2009, and may incur typical transaction fees from their broker-dealer. Shareholders of record on the close of business on May 18, 2009 will receive cash equal to the amount of the net asset value of their shares as of May 22, 2009, which will include any capital gains and dividends, in the cash portion of their brokerage accounts. Shareholders will generally recognize a capital gain or loss equal to the amount received for their shares over their adjusted basis in such shares.
For additional information, shareholders of the ETFs which are scheduled for liquidation may call Invesco PowerShares at 800-983-0903.

Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. Despite their differences, Achilles befriends the shamed prince, and as they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine, their bond blossoms into something deeper - despite the displeasure of Achilles s mother Thetis, a cruel sea goddess. But when word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, Achilles must go to war in distant Troy and fulfill his destiny. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus goes with him, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.
