Spending the holiday weekend hard at work overseas, Tom Cruise filmed "All You Need is Kill" in Trafalgar Square in London on Sunday (November 25).
The "Mission Impossible Star" looked handsome in his dark green military officer's uniform as he shot some scenes on the ground and then went up in a helicopter.

By David Krueger Herald Writer
EVERETT — The nationally ranked Oregon Ducks put runs up on the scoreboard early and often Tuesday night, but the upstart Seattle University Redhawks continued to respond.
Fans of both teams came to Everett Memorial Stadium Tuesday night to see a game that saw Oregon take four leads — because of Seattle U comebacks to tie three times. The Ducks finally prevailed, winning 12-7 in a nonleague game.
The Ducks, ranked No. 11 in the latest "Baseball America" poll, struck early in the first, second and third innings. But the Redhawks, members of the Western Athletic Conference, continued to battle back and tie the score in the bottom of each of the first innings, with the score 5-5 going into the fourth.
That's when the Pacific-12 conference's Oregon took a three-run lead — its second three-run lead of the game — and remained out in front the rest of the way.
"Give the Redhawks some credit, they were up there to hit and they did," Oregon head coach George Horton said.
It was the second consecutive year Seattle U played at Everett Memorial and third straight year a game was scheduled. The Redhawks lost to Washington State last season and had a game against Notre Dame moved to Husky Stadium the year before because of snow in Everett.
"This is a great little ballpark," Horton said. "This is where our players hope to play at (in the minor leagues."
SU athletic communications director Jason Behenna said the Redhawks have expressed an interest in continuing to play one game per season at Everett Memorial Stadium in the future.
The 510 people in attendance Tuesday night got their money's worth with a game that featured a combined 19 runs, 25 hits and lasted 3 hours and 36 minutes. The crowd was split pretty evenly between the Oregon and Seattle U fans Tuesday night, with the Redhawks supporters perhaps having a slight edge later in the game with a few Ducks fans abandoning the chilly stadium.
"I think we had more at the start," said Paul Chambers, an Oregon fan who moved to Seattle a year ago. "But it's gotten really cold and I've seen a few people leave."
Chambers, along with his friend Stuart Mathews, came from Seattle for the game. Being Oregon fans, they don't get to see a lot of Ducks baseball games. Having one less than an hour away, compelled them to come to Everett.
"It was a little haul, but I don't get to see them very often," Chambers said. "It's nice to see them again."
"We're pretty fired up," said Mathews, who also lives in Seattle. "We're hardcore Duck fans. Kind of in enemy territory."
The game also gave some Seattle U fans that live north of campus a chance to catch a Redhawks game. Roman Miller, a member of the Board of Trustees at Archbishop Murphy as well as the Seattle University Hall of Fame, was at the game sporting a Wildcats jacket with a Seattle U hat.
"It's great. We probably should play more games up here because this is a nice ballpark," Miller said. "This would be a good home field."
A graduate of Seattle U, Miller was an assistant athletic director for the Redhawks for several years. He recruited athletes in all sports to the school, including a young Elgin Baylor.
Miller quickly pointed out that several Archbishop Murphy baseball players have gone on to become Redhawks after their high school careers.
Is he pushing them toward Seattle U?
"If I can," Miller said with a smile.
There were also some AquaSox fans in the stands, passing the time until the season starts with the annual Everett Cup against the Everett Merchants on June 12.
Nathan Dayley and Scott Wilkening-Joly, who are both host families for the Frogs, were there just to check out some college baseball.
"I love baseball and I don't get to see college baseball very often other than on TV," said Wilkening-Joly. "So there's no better chance than right now."
The game also gave Dayley a chance to do a beloved activity.
"Root on Seattle U and boo Oregon," said Dayley, who was wearing a University of Washington sweatshirt and baseball cap.
Everett Seagulls head coach Patrick Duffy was also in attendance to watch some baseball. He came over to the stadium after his team returned from its game against Mountlake Terrace.
After a "tough loss" Duffy saw the lights on at Everett Memorial and decided to come over to the game.
"Saw these guys were out here playing and figured I'd check it out," Duffy said. "It's great to see all the kids running around, enjoying the game in their Seattle U or Oregon shirts."
A few of Duffy's players were also checking out the game. The others were "hopefully doing their homework."
Oregon (34-10) freshman Mitchell Tolman did a lot of the damage on offense for Oregon. The designated hitter batted 3-for-4 with seven RBI. First baseman Ryon Healy, last week's Pac-12 Player of the Week, was 2-for-3 with three RBI and two runs scored before leaving in the fourth inning after a throw from third base bounced up and hit him in the face.
Right fielder Sean Narby led Seattle U going 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored. Ryan Somers (1-for-2) scored three runs for the Redhawks (17-26).
"I thought their attitude was outstanding. I think their club did a better job of playing with excitement for nine innings than we did," Horton said.

Two barns damaged in separate fires
Western Washington County fire crews fought two barn fires Saturday afternoon.
The first, in the Cornelius Rural Fire Protection District, came in just before 2:00 pm when a heat lamp in a chicken coop ignited the structure. With a strong breeze pushing the flames, the fire quickly spread to a large series of barns that were located within ten feet of the coop. An engine from the Cornelius Fire Station arrived, followed closely by a Forest Grove engine, and rapidly deployed a hose line to the burning barns. They were able to put a quick stop to the advancing flames and save nearly all of the horse equipment and tack that was stored in the barns.
Cornelius and Forest Grove fire crews were assisted by the North Plains Station of Washington County Fire District #2, as well as an engine from Banks Fire District #13, with a total of approximately 20 firefighters on scene. At one point, firefighters were assisted by a neighboring farmer who was able to use a back-hoe machine to move the smoldering hay that was preventing firefighters from accessing still burning portions of the barn. There were no injuries in this fire, all but one of the young chickens in the coop perished in the blaze. The fire charred a dune buggy, a small car, as well as other barn items with estimates exceeding $50,000 in damages to the structure and it's contents.
As fire crews cleaned up their hose from the first fire they were notified of a second barn fire, this time burning in the foothills of the Oregon Coast Range at 47600 SW Easterday Road in the Forest Grove Rural Fire Protection District. When a crew of volunteer firefighters (who had been providing coverage of the city during the first barn fire) from the Forest Grove Fire Station arrived they found the fire in this barn was already well involved. Parts of the structure had already collapsed, and initially fire crews were hampered by a arcing power line that had dropped after being burned through. Damage to this structure was extensive, and included a large motor home, a number of tractors, a boat, and other tools and equipment. Prior to the fire, the homeowner had been using a legal burn pile to clear debris from his property when the breezy conditions blew embers into his hay storage area. A malfunctioning garden hose prevented the resident from extinguishing the small fire that quickly grew to destroy his barn and everything inside. Damage estimates to the structure, and it's contents exceeded $300,000, there were no injuries to residents, firefighters, and livestock on scene. Forest Grove firefighters were assisted by those from Banks Fire District #13, Gaston Rural Fire Protection District, Washington County Fire District #2, Hillsboro Fire & Rescue, and the Cornelius Fire Department; many of the crews from the first barn fire left that scene to work this second call.

Indiana Epidemiology Newsletter
June 2006
Mike Wilkinson, B.S.
Hepatitis C Epidemiologist
The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) is expanding hepatitis C surveillance to identify risk factors for infection and to more effectively target education and prevention. Currently, only acute cases are reportable. The ISDH is requesting that local health departments (LHD) report all chronic hepatitis C cases as well.
The ISDH is expanding hepatitis C surveillance to include chronic cases for several reasons. First, because chronic cases are not currently reportable, we have no conclusive data on chronic hepatitis C cases in Indiana. Second, the vast majority of hepatitis C cases are chronic. Third, surveillance of chronic cases will allow for better determination of the scope of hepatitis C prevalence and, hence, the burden of infection in Indiana. Finally, surveillance of chronic cases will allow for the identification of new risk factors and more targeted education and prevention efforts.
The ISDH will mail copies of lab reports and completed Confidential Reports of Communicable Disease forms (State Form #43823) to LHDs with a cover letter requesting follow-up. The hepatitis C case investigation form is available online at http://www.IN.gov/isdh/form/pdfs/52588_HepatitisC_May06revised.pdf. Public health nurses should complete the form as thoroughly as possible on newly identified acute and chronic hepatitis C cases and fax the form to 317.233.9271. Faxing the form will transmit the data directly into the hepatitis C database. For that reason, the ISDH requests that hard copies of completed investigation forms not be mailed. The ISDH Field Epidemiologists can provide assistance with case investigation and form completion.
Several LHDs have inquired about what should be faxed to the new database number (317.233.9271) and what should be faxed to the regular number (317.234.2812).
The ISDH requests that LHDs with large Department of Correction (DOC) facilities in their jurisdictions maintain lab reports on those cases. The ISDH is currently developing the protocol for follow-up of DOC cases.
The ISDH acknowledges the increased workload required to investigate chronic cases and appreciates the support for this surveillance initiative. Enhanced reporting and surveillance can help effectively target intervention and education for better control of hepatitis C. Health officials expect the number of hepatitis C cases to increase given the aging baby boomer population, popularity of tattoos*, growing prison population, and continued intravenous drug use. Indiana is among the three states that have taken this initiative, and Indiana can serve as an example to the rest of the country on methods to help control this silent epidemic.
If you have any questions regarding hepatitis C surveillance and reporting, please contact Mike Wilkinson at 317.234.2827 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Hepatitis C Acute Case Definition (must meet all of the following):
>80% of acute hepatitis C cases will not resolve or clear virus in six months.
Hepatitis C Chronic Case Definition:
>most are asymptomatic
>liver enzymes may be normal
>antibody and perhaps RNA will be positive
*Tattoos pose a risk for those who go to facilities where sanitary practices are not practiced, such as not replacing ink pots appropriately or not using sterilized needles.

View Full Testimonial Improved Credit Kwami - Sherwood, AR I had NO credit because I had lived the last couple of decades paying for everything in cash. I had thought that when I went to get a car, the traditional dealerships would overlook that [paying in cash] due to my work history and income. I was sadly mistaken. I was denied by them all. When I saw your billboard, I called out of curiosity because I was sure I would be denied yet again. But, Keith told me to come talk with him — so, I did. Three hours later I drove off in my new car!!! That was 18 months ago. As a result of this car, my credit score went up to 700+, and with that, I just closed on my first home last month and I traded in my car for a BRAND NEW one at one of those dealerships that originally denied me. View Full Testimonial View Testimonial Transcript They got me in a new car. They said, "We got it and we can do it!" They all stayed late because it was past closing time and they never acted like it was a big deal. "They said we are going to help you out. We're going to get this done for you. And we're going to roll it out and get it tonight." So that's the deal! I came in late – they stayed late, and did everything they needed to do to get me a car, and I've been happy with them. It's been multiple years as a repeat customer – it's awesome! The turnaround time was the exact same day. I walked in, they found me exactly what I wanted, they carried and awesome warranty which was incomparable to any other place and that meant so much to me. And I drove home that same day. They are just so helpful, I felt so much better walking in and walking out because I felt like they were honestly there to do whatever to make my life better. They are very dependable and very reliable. My van that I have been driving for close to ten years has not had any problems. J.D. Byrider is the place to go. They'll sit down with you and help you through anything and they'll put you in a car that day. At J.D. Byrider, the best experience I had was being able to leave with a car that day.

Ship some of those big daddies from Kruger down to Pilanesberg.
In addition to sparing their lives, Kruger offered the prisoners better food and other privileges for their hard work.
Mrs. Kruger refused to see me, and I liked her none the less for her honest prejudice.
If the Boers weren't deceived by that old villain Kruger, they'd never have fought us.
Things that really happened have been mentioned, such as meeting President Kruger or being thrown out of a cab.
Surely this remark is an insult to Mr. Kruger's great sagacity.
At the elevator, Deveet and Kruger hurried out, almost colliding with him.
He couldn't talk American at first, and Dr. Kruger had to tell the nurses what he said.
In more ways than one President Kruger has been a good friend to the empire.
Moreover, President Kruger was an old man, no longer in strong health.

Fla. Legislature puts salaries online
Published: Friday, February 1, 2013 at 4:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 1, 2013 at 4:58 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE — Florida's legislative leaders are letting the public know how much people are getting paid to work for the Legislature.
Both the House and Senate quietly this week added links on legislative websites that allow people to look up legislative employee salaries. The two chambers are also posting copies of contracts.
The move to post legislative salaries comes nearly two years after Gov. Rick Scott posted salaries of most state workers. Scott eventually posted the salaries of professors and other university employees.
The decision to place the information online comes in the wake of a decision by Scott to shutter a budget-tracking website that the Senate paid $5 million to develop.
Ryan Duffy, a spokesman for House Speaker Will Weatherford, said the records posted online are the ones most frequently requested.

Meet the Blue Fox Theme Developer
Why was Blue Fox Theme created?
The idea of making the Blue Fox theme came to me when I saw the Blood Fire theme.It wasn't updated for Firefox 3.Most dark themes for Firefox are based of black but I wanted something different and unique.I wanted to create and new series of dark themes with more colors - red,blue and green.Something more like Blood Fire.
The first theme was Bloody Red.It had good popularity and I decided to make the theme in 2 more colors(green and blue)Soon the Blue Fox theme became my most popular theme and now it has almost 3 000 000 downloads :) .I think that this is a perfect moment to thank all those people who downloaded it and all those who are using it right now.
What's next for Blue Fox Theme
Homepage http://web-goodies.net/firefox/
Web Tuts http://web-goodies.net/
What's next? Future versions will support Firefox 12 and above.
Help needed! I need to make some hardware updates. I'm running a 6 year old machine and things get a bit slow from time to time. Making a contribution right here and now on this page will help me get a new PC and continue supporting the theme. Your money help for my education as well so if you have some extra cash I'd be nice if you click the contribute button above and donate a dollar or two. You can donate as much as you want. Thanks in advance!

Grantee Story: "Cultural Awareness through Cooking: Understanding Ethnocentricity"
It's 11 a.m. on a Tuesday and Sonia Diaz is standing over a hot oven at Tu Casa restaurant. An array of tortillas, cheeses, and meats lay before her, ready to become the ingredients in a stack of delicious papusas. As she delicately and intently prepares the feast, Ms. Linda, the restaurant's owner, explains to a group the finer points of Salvadoran familial relationships. Later, as Sonia and her classmates gather around a table and nosh on the fruits of their labor, they'll discuss the cultural similarities and differences between the United States and El Salvador.
It's just another day in Christopher Eldridge's Introduction to Sociology class.
A social studies teacher at Scarborough High School in Scarborough, Maine, Eldridge used a $5,000 Student Achievement Grant from the NEA Foundation to introduce "Cultural Awareness through Cooking," a program that framed studies of different nations through visits to restaurants. Occurring throughout the spring of 2012, the project encouraged Eldridge's 50 juniors and seniors to reduce personal ethnocentrism and foster cultural awareness and respect for diversity.

His name is Gerren Davon Rush. He teaches at Mark Twain Elementary here in Houston.
Gerren wants to teach kids how to accept one another's differences through this book and a 501(c) 3 organization he is starting called The Universal Culture Project
The working title of the book is "People Say I'm Weird!"
I hope you can help him with a grant or scholarship to continue this great work.
He and wife (Monyce) are expecting their 1st child (our 1st grandchild) by year's end.
His email: firstname.lastname@example.com
We are very proud of Gerren's efforts to live by, exemplify and encourage others, especially youth to accept Dr. King's dream that people should be "judged not by the color of their skin, but the content of their character!"
Thank you!
A proud Dad,

SERIOUSLY, DON'T DO THIS: Once, we poured some gunpowder into a glass 7Up bottle and tossed a match into it.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" barks our bank of attorneys. "You write that and next thing every kid in the country is trying it. Don't go there. Write about something else."
Well, but we feel we need to tell this story. We were 16 and we and our friend Jeff were squandering the summer painting fences in the Country Club Drive area for exorbitant amounts of money.
We were between jobs one day and we asked Jeff, "Got any gunpowder?"
Of course, he had gunpowder. His dad (and get this, his dad was a fire captain!) was a hunter and loaded his own shotgun shells. He had a little barrel of gunpowder in the garage.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" shout our barristers, their powdered wigs shooting straight up, cartoon-style. "This guy was a fire captain and he left a barrel of gunpowder around where two bored teenage boys had access to it?"
Presumably, Jeff's dad thought we were mature enough - and smart enough - to not monkey around with gunpowder and glass.
"Did he know about the time you and Jeff were running around with one of his hunting rifles chasing your friend Moose and yelling that you were on acid?"
He did not know about that time.
"You do realize," said our counselors, "that if you continue on this track you will get calls and letters saying you're encouraging this sort of thing. We strongly urge you to write about a church carnival instead of this."
OK, first, teenagers don't read this column. Remember that time we made a casual remark about shooting a particular sort of animal out of a cannon? People got mad at us and said pretty soon every kid would be doing that. Never happened once. It was then that we realized we had lost our once-powerful vise grip on the youth of America.
If anything, this is an advisory to all parents to keep their barrels of gunpowder and their hunting rifles locked up. Your kids will never be mature or smart enough to leave it alone.
"OK, then get to the part about the exploding 7Up bottle, if you want to send a warning."
The thing is, it didn't explode. We should be dead by now, or at least badly disfigured. We poured a couple of fingers' worth of gunpowder into a glass container and lit it. It made a crazy and violent screaming sound, all that energy rushing through the neck. Scared us to death. We swore to never horse around with explosives again.
But then we started laughing because life seemed new again. Colors were brighter. Songbirds sang.
"Sounds like acid."
No. Maybe paint fumes at the very most. We think about that horrible experiment all the time. There's no good explanation that we, a fire scientist with a dual minor in kinetics and physics, could see that the bottle didn't blast us to bits - other than the brutally overworked Guardian Angel who was given our case in the mid-1950s.
"So - please! - you're saying `don't try this at home,' yes?" say our atty's-at-law.
No! Don't try it anywhere. We've used up the only time the bottle won't blow up. We're saying stick with Safe & Sane fireworks, the kind that you buy in cities where it's legal. Like Nuevo Laredo and Lakewood.
"But Long Beach's new fire chief, Mike DuRee, says those are dangerous, too. The Fire Department says sparklers burn at 1,200 degrees."
And cars go fast. Don't jump in front of a car and don't stick lit sparklers into bodily orifices. Do you know how many pounds of fireworks are set off in our little neighborhood alone?
Neither do we, but it's a lot. And, yeah, we lose a guy every few years, but it strengthens the gene pool and falls under the category of acceptable losses.
At this point we are expecting a visit to our block by squadrons of police and fire investigators. We won't be there. We're going to the blues bash on the Belmont Pier and watching the Queen Mary fireworks show.
But they should feel free to round up all the other scofflaws in the area. They're all crazy, and likely to set our house on fire.
"Maybe you should add something here about how you just want everyone to have a safe and happy Independence Day."
Yes, that's what we meant all along.

On New Year's Eve 2010, Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker responded to a constituent on Twitter whose 65-year-old father needed help shoveling snow from his driveway. Booker's tweet? "I will do it myself; where does he live?"
And do it himself he did, arriving some 20 minutes later with other volunteers, who were also rounded up through the social networking site.
Booker, who took office in 2006 following a landslide win and was re-elected in 2010, is a political Twitter phenomenon. He has more than 1 million followers, has posted more than 16,000 tweets, and is known for his dynamic use of social media and online technology, which assisted him in winning the mayoral seat. Booker may be the leading example of a well harnessed digital campaign and governance strategy in U.S. politics today, deftly using Web 2.0 tools to stay connected with the people of his city.
Most important, Booker says technology helps voters to get an up-close view of him as a person. "Social media creates that intimate window and gives voters a chance to really see your humanity and the substance of your spirit," he said. "It creates a different kind of loyalty than with traditional engagement."
Social media also allows candidates to build a longer-term relationship. "And that is so important," Booker said. "It eliminates the old, 'You just come around to talk to me at election time' issue." Instead, social media lets Booker engage with hundreds of people at a time and broadens his connection to people he can't necessarily reach at a campaign or community event. "It changes conversations from private to social. If you don't build up the tool, you really surrender to the space or come off as very robotic. It's about creating authentic, dynamic feeds."
And should Booker run for re-election, a significant part of the voting population already is following him, he said. "The best advice I can offer to candidates not already using social media and technology is this: Dive in now. Do not wait; start aggregating audiences. Once a campaign has started, time is lost. Build the power early. After you win the office, social media usage shouldn't fall off. It should go up. Social media is about engagement."
Technology has brought more authenticity to the political sphere, and today it plays a central role in campaigns. Peer-to-peer campaigning — involving emails, social media, micro-targeting, mobile and tablet applications, for instance — allows for a more genuine connection between a candidate and his or her constituency.
"Consider how television changed campaigning in 1964, direct mail in the '70s, bar codes with absentee balloting in the '90s, the Internet with fundraising in the mid-2000s or social in 2008. Each time, a forward-thinking campaign adopted the new technology to great success, leading to broader adoption in the subsequent cycle," said David Binetti, CEO and co-founder of Votizen, a Web service that allows users to campaign with friends on social networks to elect candidates who share their values.
One in 600 people in the United States is elected to public office at some point in their life, said Joe Green, co-founder and president of NationBuilder — a community organizing system that blends the customer relationship management and content management systems as a synthesized website and people database. "The effect of technology on politics at the end of the day will be on local campaigns," he predicts. Technology alone, however, is not the answer. It's merely a tool, and like any tool, it must be used correctly to be effective. "You need the wherewithal to take advantage of the opportunities, messaging, strategy," said Jonathan Karush, founder and president of Liberty Concepts, a provider of websites, software and online strategy to campaigns.
On the whole, it's a very exciting time, says California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom. "The days of the clipboards are gone," he said, "but not that long ago it was all highlighters, white boards and precinct maps."
Prior to his current role, Newsom was elected mayor of San Francisco in 2003 — the city's youngest mayor in 100 years — and was re-elected in 2007 with 72 percent of the vote. He was named the Most Social Mayor in America by reputation management firm Samepoint in 2010, following a study that measured social media influence. Newsom is writing a book on how citizens can use social media, technology and available government data to cut through bureaucratic red tape and redesign government in their own image.
Technology is more prevalent and easier to for candidates to harness, but it isn't a sure thing. "You still have to engage people and get them to take action. The focus has to be on converting," said Ryan Davis, director of social media for Blue State Digital, the firm behind the development and management of President Barack Obama's historic 2008 online campaign.
The key to organizing a strong campaign is being aware of everything one's supporters are doing and encouraging activism, said NationBuilder's Green. "The goal is to always be trying to get people to take on more responsibility," he said.

Section 416 of the Agricultural Act of 1949 is amended to read as follows:
"SEC. 416. In order to prevent the waste of commodities acquired through price-support operations by the Commodity Credit Corporation before they can be disposed of in normal domestic channels without impairment of the price-support program or sold abroad at competitive world prices, the Commodity Credit Corporation is authorized, on such terms and under such regulations as the Secretary may deem in the public interest: (1) upon application, to make such commodities available to any Federal agency for use in making payment for commodities not produced in the United States; (2) to barter or exchange such commodities for strategic or other materials as authorized by law; (3) in the case of food commodities to donate such commodities to the Bureau of Indian Affairs and to such State, Federal, or private agency or agencies as may be designated by the proper State or Federal authority and approved by the Secretary, for use in the United States in nonprofit school-lunch programs, in the assistance of needy persons, and in charitable institutions, including hospitals, to the extent that needy persons are served; and (4) to donate any such food commodities in excess of anticipated disposition under (1), (2), and (3) above to nonprofit voluntary agencies registered with the Committee on Voluntary Foreign Aid of the Foreign Operations Administration or other appropriate department or agency of the Federal Government and intergovernmental organizations for use in the assistance of needy persons outside the United States. In the case of (3) and (4) above the Secretary shall obtain such assurance as he deems necessary that the recipients thereof will not diminish their normal expenditures for food by reason of such donation. In order to facilitate the appropriate disposal of such commodities, the Secretary may from time to time estimate and announce the quantity of such commodities which he anticipates will become available for distribution under (3) and (4) above. The Commodity Credit Corporation may pay, with respect to commodities disposed of under this section, reprocessing, packaging, transporting, handling, and other charges accruing up to the time of their delivery to a Federal agency or to the designated State or private agency, in the case of commodities made available for use within the United States, or their delivery free alongside ship or free on board export carrier at point of export, in the case of commodities made available for use outside the United States. For the purpose of this section the terms 'State' and 'United States' include the District of Columbia and any Territory or possession of the United States."
Approved, July 10, 1954.

You need to install the headers to compile, but first make sure you have installed the next: open up a terminal and type:
aptitude show build-essential
Read and see if is installed, if not do: aptitude install build-essential
Also need to install the linux headers:
In terminal type:
uname -r
and see the kernel header (example: 2.6.32-5-686)
In terminal search for the headers:
aptitude show linux-headers-2.6.32-5-686 (This is a linux header example)
Read and see if installed. If not then install them:
aptitude install linux-headers-2.6.32-5-686
Then try again to compile with make.
Make sure you have the makefile already created in the directory of driver. If instructed by vendor to just compile with make, then makefile is already created (via configure)...
Hope this helps...

Hi - i just wanted to clear a little something up for you all after a scenario at the weekend - after all it is times like these when I like to make the unknown - known!
For clarification, if a Champion does not make weight at the alloted time, or the grace period there after [typically one hour] the title he holds should be reliquished on the spot, no question.
The fight, if agreed depending on the time and weight missed, would go ahead as normal. The challenger, who if he/she makes the prescribed Championship weight, will become Champion should he/she win the fight. If the previous title holder wins the belt remains vacant.
This is in light of the past weekends Punshon - Marshaman fight. I was not present at the weigh in or this could have been sorted and the correct information relayed there and then. I do not know or understand who or what was said at the time of Marshmans weigh in, or any mistake in the weigh in procedure - all that interests me is the correct and proper protocols are followed.
On the Saturday morning I started to receive calls from many sources - naturally I told them what the correct outcome should be.
I would like to add that once I got to Wembley and discussed the situation and informed of the correct protocols all was met with immediate acceptance from BAMMA, Marshamans camp & management and Punshon himself as well as both Mr Marshamn & Mr Punshon and I would like to thank all for this. I then explained to the commentary team on this scenario so that it could be relayed to the veiwers at home and hopefully get them to understand what the correct procedure is and avoid any mis-understanding should they see the belt go the challengers way if he won, but not to the previous holder if he did.
For any other promotors, officials etc out there please do use this going forward and in the unfortunate event of a Champion missing weight - this is what should happen.
Thank you all.

If you rely on a financial advisory firm to manage your assets, how do you know if you're getting what you pay for?
We think the answer to this question comes down to several specific points, one of which (an important one, but by no means the only one) is investment performance. If your advisor hasn't at least outperformed broad market indexes by the amount of his or her advisory fees, ask yourself whether it might have been simpler to invest in broad index funds on your own.
But if you do need (or prefer) to use an advisor, what's the best way to judge the value of the service you're getting?
Staying the course
First, you may need to broaden your view of value. It's not limited solely to absolute performance generated in any one period. Consider not only performance over time, but also whether your advisor added value by encouraging you to stay with a sound investment plan and cautioned you against chasing performance, regardless of market conditions. We've all been nervous about how we will make up what we lost during the 2008–2009 market downturn. The almost irresistible urge to change your asset allocation and take a chance on riskier investments—or to pull out entirely and "lock in loss"—should have been successfully deterred by your advisor.
A solid framework
Second, consider whether your advisor has constructed your portfolio from the top down rather than bottom-up. Left on their own, many investors work from the bottom up, starting with manager and fund selection. This is very difficult to accomplish because of the diversity of available managers. It's generally not enough to just pick a fund according to its "style box" (like "large-cap growth," for example), since funds within a classification can have very different characteristics. Repeating this process several times in different categories could ultimately result in a disappointing aggregate portfolio.
Your advisor should be able to explain the asset allocation framework he or she developed for you. Listen for your advisor's expectations of risk and return, and an explanation of how those expectations are tied directly to your goals. Your asset allocation should start at the broad level (stocks, bonds, cash), and then, if you're investing in mutual funds, move on to actively managed vs. index funds, or a combination of both. Your advisor should also be able to explain your portfolio's stock sub-asset allocation—market capitalization, growth vs. value, and domestic vs. international. For bonds, he or she should be able to talk about maturity, duration, and credit quality. And if your portfolio weightings differ from the broader-market weightings for a particular asset class, you should know this—and why.
(By the way, this explanation shouldn't take your advisor more than 10 to 15 minutes. One lesson everyone should have taken to heart over the last two years is that if you can't understand what you're invested in, you probably shouldn't be in it.)
Location, location, location
Finally, your advisor should be very mindful of asset location by positioning assets between taxable and tax-advantaged accounts with the objective of maximizing your portfolio's expected after-tax return. The extra return you achieve on an after-tax basis without increasing portfolio risk may be incremental in any given year, but it can make a big difference when compounded over time.
If your advisory firm has prevented you from making ill-advised moves, constructed a reasonable, understandable allocation, and positioned your assets with your tax picture in mind, they have added value. Start there, and then look at relative performance.
Note: All investments are subject to risk. Investments in bond funds are subject to interest rate, credit, and inflation risk. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Chris Christie Causes Traffic Jam In Fort Lee During Apology Visit
(Jen Chung) After NJ Governor Chris Christie held reporters, TV networks and the public hostage for nearly two hours during his nearly two hour apology/"it wasn't me" blamefest, he headed over the Fort Lee to apologize to Mayor Mark Sokolich and residents for not realizing a deputy chief of staff had ordered nightmarish gridlock for days. Unfortunately, his presence caused some... traffic problems.
Star-Ledger photographer John O'Boyle Tweeted, "Police divert traffic on Main Street in Fort Lee so Gov. Chris Christie can apologize for diverting traffic," with a link to his photos. The NY Times reports:
The governor's pilgrimage caused a stir in the borough — and, inevitably, caused another tie-up of traffic on its downtown streets. Two women trying to catch a bus home in front of the borough hall took turns cursing the governor for leaving them standing in the near-freezing cold while traffic on Main Street was diverted.
"I find it ironic that the governor chose the height of rush hour to do this," said Sam Gronner, a Fort Lee resident, who said it had taken an extra 15 minutes to go to the nearby A.&P. supermarket to buy plums for a brisket he planned to cook.
Christie wasn't even wanted in Fort Lee, with Sokolich saying in the morning that Christie shouldn't come since there was still an investigation in the lane closures to the George Washington Bridge. But "I am not a bully" Christie still came—according to Sokolich, Christie "respectfully insisted" and the mayor was pleased with the visit. Sokolich accepted Christie's apology, saying, "He said he wasn't involved. And you know what, we accept that."

a Metropolitan Opera

RhabdomyosarcomaSoft tissue sarcoma; Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma; Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma; Sarcoma botryoides
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a cancerous (malignant) tumor of the muscles that are attached to the bones.
It can occur in many places in the body. The most common sites are the structures of the head and neck, the urogenital tract, and the arms or legs.
Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue tumor in children.
The cause of rhabdomyosarcoma is unknown. It is a rare tumor with only several hundred new cases per year throughout the United States.
Some children with certain birth defects are at an increased risk, and some families have a gene mutation that elevates risk. However, the great majority of children with rhabdomyosarcoma do not have any known risk factors.
The most common symptom is a mass that may or may not be painful.
Other symptoms vary depending on location of the tumor.
- Tumors in the nose or throat may cause bleeding, congestion, swallowing problems, or neurological problems if they extend into the brain.
- Tumors around the eyes may cause bulging of the eye, problems with vision, swelling around the eye, or pain.
- Tumors in the ears, may cause pain, hearing loss, or swelling.
- Bladder and vaginal tumors may cause lead to trouble starting to urinate or having a bowel movement, or poor control of urine.
- Muscle tumors may lead to a painful lump and are often thought to be an injury.
Exams and Tests
Diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma is often delayed because of lack of symptoms, and because the tumor may appear at the same time as a recent injury. Early diagnosis is important because rhabdomyosarcomaspreads quickly.
A complete physical exam should be done. Tests may include:
- Biopsy of the tumor
- Chest x-ray
- CT scan of the chest to look for spread of the tumor
- CT scan of the tumor site
- Bone marrow biopsy (may show the cancer has spread)
- Bone scan to look for spread of the tumor
- MRI scan of the tumor site
- Spinal tap (lumbar puncture)
The precise treatment depends on the site and type of rhabdomyosarcoma. Because of its rarity, this tumor is best treated at a center with experience treating many patients with rhabdomyosarcoma.
Either radiation or chemotherapy, or both, will be used before or after surgery. In general, surgery and radiation therapy are used to treat the primary site of the tumor. Chemotherapy is used to treat disease at all sites in the body.
Chemotherapy is an essential part of treatment to prevent further spread of the cancer. Many different chemotherapy drugs are active against rhabdomyosarcoma. Some of these drugs include:
- Dacarbazine
- Doxorubicin
- Epirubicin
- Gemcitabine
- Ifosfamide
Support Groups
The stress of illness can often be helped by joining asupport groupwhere members share common experiences and problems. See cancer - support group.
Outlook (Prognosis)
While aggressive treatment is usually necessary, most children with rhabdomyosarcoma will achieve long-term survival. Cure depends on the specific type of tumor, its location, and the amount that has spread.
Possible Complications
- Complications from chemotherapy
- Location in which surgery is not possible
- Metastasis
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if your child has symptoms of rhabdomyosarcoma.

Friday night, Billy Joel brought a very big guest to his show at Madison Square Garden in New York.
AC/DC singer Brian Johnson.

Insurance Research
Celent's Insurance Practice provides insurance technology research and insurance consulting services to the global insurance industry. Our internationally-based analysts focus on information technology and strategy issues affecting global, regional, and local life and property/casualty insurers. Celent offers two insurance membership services: Life Insurance and Property/Casualty Insurance.
Celent provides the information you need to make informed decisions by conducting research which offers in-depth analysis coupled with pragmatic and actionable advice. We also allow you to stay abreast of the lastest trends affecting the insurance industry through our blog, newsletter, videos, infographics, LinkedIn Discussion Groups, Peer Networking Events and through our live Twitter feeds. For information on becoming a client of Celent, contact Chuck Smith at firstname.lastname@example.com or call +1.617.262.3125.
Celent Insurance Research
Celent's insurance research falls under five overarching themes:
|The move from the physical to the virtual world, from person-to-person interaction toward person-to-machine or machine-to-machine. Integrating and coordinating among disparate and siloed delivery channels will be critical to satisfying ever-increasing customer expectations.
|Innovation & Emerging Technologies
|Celent defines innovation as fundamental changes to products, services, or business models that break existing tradeoffs and provide value to the customer. New hardware, software and network technologies feed insurance innovation.
|Legacy & Ecosystem Transformation
|Legacy technology can hinder innovation, since insurers must typically offer backward compatibility. Insurers must not only modernize, but transform, their internal systems and the ways in which they interact with a vast web of customers, counterparties and regulators.
|Data Mastery & Analytics
|Ever since technology began to be used beyond pure accounting in the industry, data has become a key source of competitive advantage for identifying profitable niches, managing risk and improving service. New external data sources, data derived from devices, and new techniques for interpreting data are pushing the competitive boundaries for insurers at an accelerated rate.
|Implementation & Best Practices
|Once an insurer has designed its strategy and roadmap for its enterprise architecture, the next challenge is how to navigate a successful path through implementation. Carriers with existing modern solutions in place are looking to optimize their technology organization. What does it take to safe-guard new investments in technology and answer the inevitable question "How can we do more?"
Celent Reports
Celent reports tend to fall into one or more of the following categories: trends analysis, vendor evaluations, case studies, or market data.
Model Insurer Awards
Every year, Celent recognizes excellence in insurance technology through our Model Insurer Awards. The Model Insurer Awards are designed to try to answer this deceptively simple question:
"What would it look like for an insurer to do everything right with today's technology?"
Model Insurers have implemented IT programs that epitomize best practices for technology projects and stand out in each of the Model Insurer themes including:
- Core and Legacy System Transformation
- Data Mastery and Analytics
- Digital
- Innovation
- Operational Excellence
You can view past winners of the Model Insurer Awards and the Model Insurer Asia Awards.
Asia Insurance Technology Awards (AITAs)
The Asia Insurance Technology Awards (AITAs) recognize excellence and innovation in the use of technology within the insurance industry in the Asia Pacific region.
Winners were announced on 5 September 2016 at the 5th Asia Insurance CIO Summit.
This service focuses on issues affecting life insurers, including providers of group benefits, annuities, and wealth management services.
Recent Life

One of the features of Windows that sometimes irks me is the multiple user log in. I mean it's great when family or friends use my computer because it allows me to maintain my privacy and security, but the downside is that it puts a huge halt on my computer's boot up. Let me explain; have you ever powered on your computer, walked away to grab a cup of coffee and when returned a few minutes later only to find that the computer is still waiting for you to log in with a username and password? Then, after you log in, it still takes another few minutes for the desktop and system to fully load. Waiting for this productivity dampener to end can seem like an eternity! Well I got sick of this hassle, and developed a workaround, and I'd like to share it with you today. I'm sure you'll love it too!
To save us a load of time on booting up, we'll alter Windows settings to make your user account automatically login. Let's begin!
First, click the Start button and in the search box enter control userpasswords2, and press Enter.
The User Accounts window will open, and you'll see all of the users of your computer listed. Uncheck the box labeled Users must enter a username and password to use this computer, then select Apply.
Now you'll be prompted to enter the information so that a username and password are not required to login, which is exactly what we want. Go ahead and type in your username and password so that Windows automatically logs in to your account.
Press OK, and voila! We are done! If you restart your computer, you will see that Windows bypasses the option to select a user and automatically logs into your account. Now you may be thinking that this setting poses a threat to your security because any passerby could potentially gain access to your files. Also, if another family member or friend wants to use your computer, they are confined to using your account. You are absolutely correct, so allow me to show you a second trick to make this hack complete!
After our computer boots up and logs in to your account, we will have it trigger a Lock function on its own, so that your desktop and system will continue to load. Since there is a lock screen however you need your password for access. In addition, other users can choose their own account.
Open up your Start menu, select All Programs, and find the Startup folder. Right click Startup, and click Open.
Once the Startup folder opens, right-click anywhere and select New followed by Shortcut, and the Shortcut Wizard will commence.
In the Type the location of the item text box, copy and paste the following file path, and click Next.
rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation
The next screen will ask you to name the shortcut, all you have to is press Finish.
Now, if you reboot your computer, you'll notice that it autologs into your username, then in a moment the computer locks and shows all of the users of the computer. It displays Logged on underneath your name, which means your desktop is loading. You also have the option to select a different user account if you so desire.
Using this method, you can power on your computer, step away for a moment or two, come back and get right to work, saving you quite a bit of time! Nice!
Note: In XP and Windows 7, hold the Windows key and press the R key (Win+R). This will bring up Run. In Run, type the same command, control userpasswords2
Click OK or hit the Enter key.
This will open the User Accounts dialog box. From that point, you should be able to follow the directions in the tip.

Listen to Bruno Mars on iHeartRadio
Bruno Mars has had a good year on the radio.
Airplay tracking service Mediabase has looked back on the year in music and named Bruno 2013's most played artist on pop radio, according to PopCrush.com.
Success on the airwaves seems to have translated to highs on the charts for the singer, as well. Two of his hits from Unorthodox Jukebox - "Locked Out Of Heaven" and "When I Was Your Man" - hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this year.
His latest single "Gorilla" is currently at number 23, while "Treasure" peaked at number five. Bruno's year also earned him the halftime show at next year's SuperBowl.
Congrats Bruno!
