GSA Awards New Schedule Contract to Canon USA
January 7, 2009
Contact: Robert Lesino or Michael Collins, (202) 501-1231
email@example.com or email@example.com
WASHINGTON —The U.S. General Services Administration's (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) announced today that it awarded Canon USA a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract under the consolidated schedule. The new contract provides the U.S. government with substantially discounted prices for copiers, copier leasing, maintenance and IT equipment.
Tyree Varnado, Acting Commissioner for GSA's Federal Acquisition Service, said, "Awarding this new contract is good for federal agencies, Canon and the American taxpayer. Canon's return to the MAS Program demonstrates its key role in delivering service, innovation and value to our government customers."
The new contract represents an estimated cost avoidance of nearly $95 million over Canon USA's previous MAS contract and has an estimated contract value of $110 million over five years.
GSA and Canon worked diligently together to rebuild their relationship after Canon left the MAS Program in October 2007. "Robust competition and trusted commercial partnerships are critical to the continued success of the program," said Varnado. "The savings can be directly attributed to aggressive contract negotiations focused on areas recommended by GSA's Inspector General in a 2007 audit."
GSA designed the consolidated schedule as a means for industry to offer a more diverse service and product base under a single schedules contract, rather than managing numerous separate schedule contracts. GSA schedules offer customers direct delivery of millions of state-of-the-art, high quality commercial supplies and services at volume discount pricing.
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
• Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 208,000 vehicles.
• GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 425 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
• GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? GSA's Federal Acquisition Service influences over $50 billion in federal spending, providing best value solutions across a variety of acquisition services and systems.

There's plenty of tutorials on how to configure bt3 with saved changes.
IMHO, it's better to save only the necessary changes and keep clean all the rest so that every time you start your distro, it's always in the same "stable" state.
BTW, in order to have changes saved, it's enough for you that you type the following commands:
You can obviously call the .lzm file as you like, not necessarily "changes.lzm"..Code:dir2lzm /mnt/live/memory/changes changes.lzm
The reulting file must be copied in the "modules" folder under /BT/

Park Hotel Tokyo
Frederic Thomas
Tokyo, Japan
The Park Hotel Tokyo places itself at the core of Japan's new networking generation. It is located downtown Tokyo in a futuristic area of skyscrapers and elevated pedestrian walkways that connect buildings and train stations.
In a country renowned for its dedication to cutting edge technology and high-paced business, the Park Hotel Tokyo places itself at the core of Japan's new networking generation.
Occupying 10 floors of the Shiodome Media Tower the hotel is an integral element in the "city in the heart of the city," a high-rise powerhouse of international media organizations and television companies, combined with metropolitan living.
The highlight is the atrium that begins with the hotel lobby on the building's 25th floor and soars all the way up to the 34th. The trees and plants in the atrium lounge, combined with daylight filtering through the glazed roof, reflect the Japanese cultural tradition of living in harmony with nature.
The hotel rooms, reached by corridors overlooking the lobby, all face Tokyo's magnificent skyline. The curved forms, and natural color schemes, act as a soft cushion from the maelstrom of activity in the district below.
With broadband internet connection, soft duvets, chic Japanese cotton bathrobes, and wonderful oils and shampoos from Thann...you have everything you need after exploring the many facets of fascinating Tokyo.
There is a choice of several restaurants. Chief Chef Yoshiaki Takada prepares a traditional Japanese "kaiseki" cuisine with fresh seasonal ingredients from a farming family in Kyoto.
Chef Tateru Yoshino, from Paris Michelin star Stella Maris, offers modern gastronomie Française, both in the restaurant and, for a more relaxed atmosphere, in Tateru Yoshino's Bar and Lounge.
And in the lower lobby the News Art Café serves a light meal, coffee and drinks.
This is also the pick-up spot for the Airport Limousine.
French interior designer Frederic Thomas has created a hotel concept that connects with the lively milieu of the surrounding business district without succumbing to its fast pace.

Subhuti was one of Buddha's disciples. He was able to understand the potency of emptiness - the viewpoint that nothing exists except in its relationship of subjectivity and objectivity.One day, when Subhuti was sitting under a tree in a mood of sublime emptiness, flowers began to fall around him. "We are praising you for your discourse on emptiness," the gods whispered to him "But I have not spoken of emptiness," said Subhuti. "You have not spoken of emptiness, we have not heard emptiness," responded the gods. 'This is true emptiness."And blossoms showered upon Subhuti like rain.
Yes, it happens. It is not a metaphor, it is a fact - so don't take this story metaphorically. It is literally true.because the whole of existence feels happy, blissful, ecstatic when even one individual soul achieves the ultimate.
We are part of the whole and the whole is not indifferent to you, cannot be. How can a mother be indifferent to a child - her own child? It is impossible. When the child grows the mother also grows with him. When the child is happy the mother is also happy with him. When the child dances, something in the mother also dances. When the child is ill the mother is ill. When the child is miserable the mother is miserable.because they are not two, they are one. Their hearts beat in a rhythm.
The whole is your mother. The whole is not indifferent to you. Let this truth penetrate as deeply as possible in your heart, because even this awareness that the whole feels happy with you will change you. Then you are not alienated, then you are not a foreigner here. Then you are not a homeless wanderer, then this is a home. And the whole mothers you, cares about you, loves you. So it is natural that when somebody becomes a buddha, when somebody reaches the ultimate peak, the whole existence dances, the whole existence sings, the whole existence celebrates. Literally true it is. It is not a metaphor, remember; otherwise you will miss the whole point.
Blossoms shower, and then they go on showering - they never stop.
The blossoms that showered for Buddha are still showering. The blossoms that showered for Subhuti are still showering. You cannot see them, not because they are not showering but because you are not capable of seeing them. Existence goes on celebrating infinitely for all the buddhas that have happened, for all the buddhas that are happening, and for all the buddhas that will happen - because for existence, past, future and present don't exist. It is a continuity. It is eternity. Only the now exists, infinite now.
They are still showering, but you cannot see them. Unless they shower for you, you cannot see them; and once you see them showering for you, you will see that they have been showering for every buddha, for every enlightened soul.
The first thing: existence cares what happens to you. Existence is continuously praying that the ultimate should happen to you. In fact you are nothing but a hand extended by the whole to reach the ultimate. You are nothing but a wave coming from the whole to touch the moon. You are nothing but a flower opening, so that the whole is filled with fragrance through you.

Born: Victoria, British Columbia.
Current Province: British Columbia.
Position: Bowler
Batting Style: Right-hand
Bowling Style: Right-arm fast
National Team Debut: September 2006, against Bermuda, Victoria, BC.
Major Teams: Wicket Maidens (Victoria, BC); Northern District Cricket Club (Sydney, Australia).
Career outside cricket: Biologist
Describe first exposure and experience with cricket: I remember those ubiquitous hollow yellow plastic stumps and bats showing up in Phys. Ed. class once or twice in elementary school. But I didn't really start learning how to play cricket until I was 16. I spent a number of days one summer watching one of my older brothers play cricket in the provincial summer games, and thought it looked like some fun. So, I started playing with my high school co-ed team the next spring, and then with the local women's team, Wicket Maidens, soon thereafter. It's been pretty near impossible to step away from cricket ever since.
Personal highlight/favourite memory from playing for Canada: The very fact that I am a woman playing cricket at all in Canada, let alone for Canada, has certainly made a great conversation starter many a time. But, without a doubt, the thing I'll remember most for years to come about playing cricket for Canada, is my team mates. It is the culmination of all the memories of training camps, tough games, gruelling workouts, and everything in between that is my favourite memory from playing for Canada.

When it comes to 60s GM muscle, Chevrolet and Pontiac tend to get all the attention. But every once in a while a super nice Oldsmobile will hit the market and cause a BIG commotion.

Assembled in Lansing, Michigan on February 23, 1968 and shipped to Roger Piorier Automotive in Tracy, Que. Canada, this spectacular Oldsmobile 442 barely even had time to cool its big block engine before Gilles R. Lamothe rushed in to sign the papers. Mr. Lamothe took possession of the car on March 2nd 1968 and, through impeccable care and maintenance, kept it in pristine, original condition for almost 40 years! In 2007, a new owner imported the car back into the states where it underwent a top-notch, professional nut and bolt rotisserie restoration which readied it for its debut on the national show circuit. Today, roughly $150K later, this killer 442 is a fully documented show stopper which bounces from the climate controlled garage to the show field.
During its extensive restoration the cars clean and solid original body panels were completely disassembled, thoroughly prepped, covered in correct code E Nocturne Blue Metallic basecoat/clearcoat, and detailed with a correct white rally stripe and correct trim. At the front of the car, a bright chrome bumper hangs below a black, beaked grille which centers a black inlayed "442" emblem between four clear T3 headlights and two clear parking lights. Behind those lights, a slightly domed hood is topped by showroom fresh louvers, and like-new glass is framed by pristine stainless trim and a correct vinyl top. At the sides of the car, slick stainless trim traces both the car's fender lines and wheel openings, while new chrome door handles perfectly complement a spotless driver's side chrome mirror. At the center of the car, correct optional door edge mouldings protect original dent-free doors; and at the ends of the car, correct, black inlayed "442" fender emblems combine with cool Oldsmobile logo rear marker lights to ensure that everyone knows what's passing them. Out back, the car's trunk hangs a modern looking "Oldsmobile" script and a black inlayed "442" emblem above pristine rocket inspired tail lights. And a broad 1968 442 exclusive chrome bumper aligns crystal clear reverse lights with polished, 442 specific exhaust tips.
Lift the hood on this rare 1968 Oldsmobile and you'll find an original 400 cubic inch Rocket V8 which has been completely rebuilt and currently dynos at 405 horsepower and 467 lb./ft. of torque. Branded on the front of the block is a correct 396026G casting number which confirms that this engine is both a 1968 Oldsmobile big block and a true 442 powerplant. Stamped on the driver's side of the block, you'll find a correct 38M279964 partial VIN which decodes as a 1968 (8) Oldsmobile (3) engine which was assembled in Lansing, Michigan (M) and installed in a car with the last six VIN digits of 279964. The 1968 Rocket 400 is a super-efficient wedge head design which utilizes a standard stroke and undersquare bore to create a unique power band and one of the meanest sounds to ever come out of an American muscle car. Stomp the throttle and a correct Rochester 4-barrel carburetor mixes fuel from new stainless fuel lines with air from a new Fire Red single snorkel air cleaner and shoves it into a correct cast iron intake manifold. At the sides of that intake, correct Oldsmobile "C" heads sit above correct cast iron exhaust manifolds which make quick work of spent gases; and behind the carburetor, a correct points distributor sends fire through correct black Packard TV R Suppression wires. At the front of the engine, reproduction GM hoses circulate water through a correct radiator while new V-belts spin a new alternator, a new power steering pump and a correct fan. Aesthetically, the cars satin black engine bay and correct bronze block look fantastic against its metallic blue exterior, and the entire engine bay, from its rebuilt Delco Moraine brake booster to its reproduction Delco Energizer battery, is detailed with correct decals and like-new info tags which provide a showroom fresh appearance.
The bottom of this awesome 442 is completely spotless and shows no signs of significant wear and tear or question inducing battle scars. Behind the big block 400, the car's original M21 4-speed transmission, which wears a correct 1968 exclusive 3925660 Muncie casting number and a correct 38M279964 partial VIN, sends power to a pavement melting O Type Posi-traction rear end which spins stout 3.42 gears. Part of the new for 1968 442 trim was a standard heavy duty suspension which included beefy double A-arms with thicker coils and better shocks up front and a triangulated four link suspension with boxed lower control arms, thicker coils, better shocks and a standard sway bar in back. Braking is provided by optional power front disc and standard rear drums; and turns come courtesy of a correct, factory optioned power steering system. At the center of the car, exhaust flows through a mandrel bent true dual system to great sounding factory replacement mufflers and trumpeted stainless tips. And at the corners of the car, original 14 inch Oldsmobile stamped style two (SSII) wheels spin correct F70-14 Firestone Wide Oval Super Sport tires around NOS stainless trim rings and Oldsmobile rocket center caps. From its original, rust free floorpans to its straight frame and correct driveline and suspension, this clean 442 presents a trophy winning level of assembly line accuracy.
Inside this 442, you'll find a nicely restored Parchment Morocceen vinyl interior which is both comfortable and appealing. New stainless trimmed strato bucket seats sit in front of a vinyl rear bench on like-new black carpet which is protected by new rubber floor mats. Between those seats, a factory correct Parchment console holds attractive black and chrome trim around a correct "442" branded Hurst shifter. And at the sides of those seats, great looking black and Parchment door panels are decorated with pristine stainless trim, fresh chrome handles and chrome switches for the cars power windows. In front of the seats, a new dash pad houses an optional Rally gauge pack, which includes a tic-toc tachometer, above silver 442 trim and a correct Oldsmobile transistor AM radio. And in front of the driver, an authentic wood trimmed three spoke satin finished steering wheel is centered on a red Oldsmobile rocket logo. Behind the cockpit, underneath the matching Parchment convertible boot cover, you'll find a fully restored trunk which is correctly outfitted with fresh spatter paint, a new houndstooth mat, a correct spare tire and correct lid decals.
Documentation for this cool Oldsmobile consists of: factory paperwork which includes the cars original punch card and tags, original dealership paperwork, an original window sticker, the cars original owner's manual and warranty booklets, the cars original Protect-O-Plate, a vintage Oldsmobile ad, pictures of the car when its restoring owner found it, a CD full of photos before and during the restoration, official GM Canada paperwork, an official dyno sheet, a large display board, a Collector's Edition program from the 2010 Oldsmobile Nationals, and the First Place Plaque it won at the 2010 Oldsmobile Nationals.
Tired of the same old Chevelles and GTOs that you can find anywhere, anytime? Take a close look at this phenomenal 1968 442! Fully restored and highly documented, it's a super cool muscle car that's poised to gain value by the year. If you're an emphatic Oldsmobile collector or serious muscle car fan who wants something a little different, this rare convertible is the perfect investment!

Backtrack 3 is not supported here. Upgrade to BT4.
Oh and we don't teach how to break the law ... so you won't be "cracking in to some networks" neither.
Hi. I'm new to using linux in general. Fortunately, I know a bit to go around.
Anyway, I'm trying to install the drivers for my Realtek RTL8191SU device.
I found a website with the linux drivers, downloaded them. But now I need help as to how to install them on BackTrack 3. I have BackTrack 3 on a CD-R.
So I load the Live-CD. Here are the steps that were included in the Driver.rar.
Part 1: make 8712 USB Linux driver
(1) step1: uncompress the rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.xxxx.2010 xxxx.tar.gz file. (in driver directory)
> tar zxvf rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.0006.20100 226.tar.gz
(2) step2: make 8712 USB driver module
> make
(3) step3: clean the operation environment
> ./clean
(4) step4: insert 8712 USB modules
> insmod 8712u.ko
(5) step5: enable wlan0 interface
> ifconfig wlan0 up
(6) step6: setup IP address
> ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.100
step1: Site Survey
> iwlist wlan0 scan
(2) step2: Connect to AP
> iwconfig wlan0 essid xxx
I'm not too sure how to install these drivers on to back-track. I can open the bash command window, after that i'm clueless. If someone can tell me exactly what to do, that'd be great. I want to start cracking in to some networks.

The Mongols were a parvenu nomadic power. Before the time of Genghis Khan they had been no more than a group of semibarbaric tribes, more or less unknown to history. They had only primitive cultural traditions, and, except for some organized hunting and the management of their herds, they had little experience of economic activity. Until a few years before Kublai's birth, they had been illiterate. They had only the most elementary ideas of statecraft.
This political incompetence contributed much to the rapid collapse of their empire. With a few outstanding exceptions, such as Kublai himself (whom the Mongols always called Setsen Khan, the Wise Khan), the rulers of the Mongols seem to have looked upon power as a personal, at most a family, possession, to be exploited for immediate gain. Hence, except in areas where, like China, there was a firm native political tradition, they never succeeded in organizing a durable state. In China, too, everything depended ultimately upon the willpower and ability of the ruler.
The Mongols had come to power in China, as elsewhere, by sheer force of arms; and with this prestige to back him, relying on his dominant personality, and building on the foundations of the brilliant civilization developed by the preceding Sung Song dynasty, Kublai for a while could maintain the illusion that Mongol supremacy was firmly based. Indeed, his reign must have appeared to be a period of solid expansion and lasting achievement to his contemporaries, including Marco Polo, the Venetian traveller traveler who became Kublai's agent and whose book is the chief Renaissance source of information on the East.
Yet Kublai Khan was faced at the outset of his reign by an insoluble dilemma, which was given vivid expression in a memorial presented to him by one of his Chinese advisers: "I have heard that one can conquer the empire on horseback, but one cannot govern it on horseback." In other words, to administer China the inexperienced Mongols would have to adopt Chinese methods, even live according to a Chinese pattern; and, to the extent that they did so, they would be bound to become more and more assimilated and perhaps lose their identity altogether. If, on the other hand, they worked through Chinese and other agents they would become alienated from the mass of the population, which would reject them. In either case, the Mongols, culturally and numerically inferior and used to a different pattern of life, could not continue for long to rule China as a distinct and privileged caste; and only the brilliance of Kublai's personal achievement obscured this truth.
Kublai Khan was the fourth son of Tolui, the youngest of Genghis' Genghis's four sons by his favourite wife. He began to play an important part in the extension and consolidation of the Mongol empire only in 1251, when he was in his middle 30s. His brother, the emperor Möngke, resolved to complete the conquest of Sung Song China, which had been planned by Genghis' Genghis's third son, Ögödei, and also to subdue Persia—a task allotted to Kublai's brother Hülegü. Kublai was invested with full civil and military responsibility for the affairs of China. He appears never to have learned to read or write Chinese, but already he had recognized the superiority of Chinese thought and had gathered around himself a group of trustworthy Confucian advisers.
His attitude toward government was formed under the influence of these learned Chinese, who convinced him of the necessary interdependence of ruler and ruled and reinforced his innate tendency toward humanity and magnanimity. At home, in the fief allotted to him in the Wei River Valley valley (in modern Shensi ProvinceGansu and Shaanxi provinces), he established a competent administration and a supply base. In the field, he stressed to his generals the precepts of his mentors—the importance and effectiveness of clemency toward the conquered. This was a great advance in civilized behaviour compared to the methods of Genghis Khan and those of Kublai's contemporaries in Central Asia, where the massacre of the population was still the expected sequel to the capture of a city.
Kublai took Sung Song China in the flank, subjugating the Tai Dai kingdom of Nanchao Nanzhao in present-day Yunnan before handing over command to his general Uriyangqadai. In 1257 Möngke assumed personal charge of the war, but he died in 1259. When Kublai, who with another army was besieging a city, heard that his brother, Arigböge, who had been left in charge of the homeland because he was the youngestyounger, was planning to have himself elected khan, he patched up a truce with Sungthe Song. In April 1260 he arrived at his residence of K'ai-p'ing, or Shang-tu Shangdu (the Xanadu of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous poem), in southeastern Mongolia. Here his associates held a kuriltai, or "great assembly," and on May 5 Kublai was unanimously elected khan in succession to Möngke.
Ten days later he announced his succession in a proclamation drawn up in Classical Chinese. Because primogeniture was not a recognized principle at the time, Arigböge, with some very powerful supporters, held a kuriltai at Karakorum and had himself declared khan, ignoring Kublai's action. In spite of Marco Polo's insistence that Kublai was the lineal and legitimate descendant of Genghis Khan and the rightful sovereign, there have always been doubts about this legitimacy. A legend recorded in Mongol chronicles to the effect that the dying Genghis designated the child Kublai as a future khan seems to have been contrived so as to provide retrospective justification of an act of usurpation.
In 1264 Kublai defeated Arigböge in battle and forced him to submit. He died two years later. But the family feud, of which this was one manifestation, continued throughout Kublai's reign. Against him were ranged those who resented the abandonment of the old ways of the steppe and the adoption of an alien, China-centred culture. The split was all the deeper because the leader of the opposition was Kaidu, who, as a grandson of Ögödei, who had been designated personally by Genghis as his successor, represented the cause of legitimacy. The throne had passed from the line of Ögödei to that of his brother Tolui in 1250 as a result of a coup d'etat. Kaidu never relaxed his hostility toward Kublai and remained master of Mongolia proper and Turkistan until his death in 1301.
The war with Kaidu showed how decisively Kublai had identified himself with the Chinese world and turned against the world of the nomads. Genghis had been strong and ruthless enough to compel the Mongols, always inclined to family feuds, to serve his cause; but Kublai, powerful though he was, could no longer control the steppe aristocracy effectively.
Kublai's achievement was to reestablish the unity of China, which had been divided since the end of the T'ang Tang dynasty. This achievement was that much greater because he was a barbarian, nomadic conqueror. Even in Chinese official historiography the Mongol Kublai is treated with respect. As early as 1260 he instituted a reign period, in the Chinese manner, to date his reign; and in 1271, eight years before the disintegration of the SungSong, he proclaimed his own dynasty under the title of Ta YüanDa Yuan, or Great Origin. He never resided at Karakorum, Ögödei's short-lived capital in northern Mongolia, but set up his own capital at what is now Beijing, a city known in his time as Ta-tuDadu, the Great Capital.
The final conquest of Sung Song China took several years. Kublai might well have been content to rule the North and to leave the Sung Song dynasty nominally in control of South China, but the detention and ill treatment of envoys he had sent convinced him that the declining regime in the south must be dealt with decisively. Military operations opened once again in 1267. The Sung Song emperor was apparently badly served by his last ministers, who are said to have kept him misinformed of the true situation, whereas many Sung Song commanders went over voluntarily to the Mongols. In 1276 Kublai's general Bayan captured the child emperor of the day, but loyalists in the south delayed the inevitable end until 1279.
With all China in Mongol hands, the Mongol conquests in the south and east had reached their effective limit; but Kublai, seeking to restore China's prestige, engaged in a series of costly and troublesome wars that brought little return. At various times tribute was demanded of the peripheral kingdoms: from Burma (now Myanmar), from Annam and Champa in Indochina, from Java, and from Japan. The Mongol armies suffered some disastrous defeats in these campaigns. In particular, invasion fleets sent to Japan in 1274 and 1281 were virtually annihilated, though their loss was due as much to storms as to Japanese resistance.
Kublai was never entirely discouraged by the indifferent results of these colonial wars nor by their expense, and they were brought to an end only under his successor. Marco Polo suggests that Kublai wished to annex Japan simply because he was excited by reports of its great wealth. It seems, however, that his colonial wars were fought mainly with a political objective—to establish China once more as the centre of the world.
By themselves the Mongols were incapable of ruling China, and, though at the lower levels they made use of Chinese civil servants, posts of importance were allotted to foreigners. Of these Marco Polo is a familiar example. Kublai instituted a "nationalities policy" under which the population of China was divided into four categories. At the top were the Mongols, forming a privileged, military caste of a few hundred thousand, exempt from taxation, and living at the expense of the Chinese peasantry who worked the great estates allocated for their upkeep.
The foreign auxiliaries of the Mongols, natives for the most part of Central Asia, formed the second group, the se-mu jen semu ren, or persons with special status. This class furnished the higher officialdom, and its members, with their worldwide contacts and their privileged status, also formed a new breed of merchants and speculators. Like the Mongols, they were exempt from taxation and enjoyed preferential use of the official postroads and services.
The bulk of the population belonged to the third and fourth classes, the han -jenren, or northern Chinese, and the man-tzunan ren, or southern barbarians, who lived in what had been Sung Song China. The expenses of state and the support of the privileged bore heavily on these two classes, with Kublai's continuing wars and his extravagant building operations at Ta-tuDadu. Peasants were brought in as labourers, to the neglect of their farms. Food supplies in the north were inadequate for the new labour force and the unproductive Mongols, and large quantities had to be brought by sea and, when the sea routes proved insecure, along the Grand Canal. The repair and extension of this canal also demanded much labour.
Kublai, in common with other Mongol rulers, was much preoccupied with religion. His reign was a time of toleration for rival religions and of economic privilege for the favoured religions. Clerics and their communities were exempted from taxation, and Buddhist temples especially were granted generous donations of land and of peasants for their upkeep. The arrogance of the many Tibetan lamas who enjoyed a special status in China was particularly detested.
Such a discriminatory social policy was eventually bound to arouse strong resentment. Moreover, it was only on the surface that Kublai's China, with its intense commercial activity, was economically strong and wealthy. Trade was mainly carried on in the interests of a privileged, foreign merchant class, not those of the community at large. The common people of China were becoming progressively poorer. The old examination system, which admitted to the civil service only men with a proper knowledge of Confucian philosophy, had lapsed, and customary restraints upon absolutism and arbitrary rule, such as would have been imposed by the censorate (a body that scrutinized the conduct of officials) and a professional public service, were lacking.
The Chinese literati were excluded from public office and responsibility. As a result, adventurers could attain high positions, and even an emperor of Kublai's unique ability remained for years on end in ignorance of, and unable to check, the depredations of his dishonest foreign financial advisers. The extravagant policies that Kublai had countenanced and the financial ineptitude of later Mongol emperors, provoked, in the 14th century, the economically motivated uprisings that brought the dynasty down.
Kublai is celebrated, mainly because of Marco Polo's account, for his use of paper money. Paper money had, however, been in use in China under the SungSong, and Kublai's innovation was merely to make it the sole medium of exchange. Toward the end of the dynasty, an incapable financial administration stimulated inflation by the overissue of paper money, but in Kublai's time the use of banknotes was essential. The supply of copper was too small to form a metal currency in a period of expanding trade, and in any case large quantities were diverted to the temples to be made into statues and other cult objects.
Though celebrated above all as a Chinese emperor, Kublai also helped to form the political traditions of his own Mongol people. To him and to his adviser, the Tibetan grand lama 'Phags-pa, is attributed the development of the political theory known as the "dual principle"—that is, the parity of power and dignity of church and state in political affairs. This theory was turned to practical account on more than one occasion in the subsequent history of Mongolia and, for example, underlay the constitution of the theocratic monarchy proclaimed in 1911, when Mongolia recovered its independence from China.
Kublai's character is difficult to assess. The only personal account of him is by Marco Polo, and this is more of a panegyric than a sober appraisal. Marco Polo presents Kublai as the ideal of a universal sovereign. Yet he does not overlook his human weaknesses, above all, an indulgence in feasting and hunting, a complicated and expensive sexual life, a failure to exercise proper supervision over his subordinates, and occasional outbursts of cruelty.
Kublai's career is interesting above all because of the way in which he interpreted—and finally failed to reconcile—his dual roles. As it turned out, he became a Chinese emperor of traditional type. China absorbed his interests and energies to the exclusion of the Mongol homeland, and for years he was actually engaged in civil war with rival Mongol princes of the steppes. Under him, China, and of course the privileged Mongols, enjoyed a brilliant spell of prosperity, but his politics, pursued with less skill by his successors, isolated the Mongols in China from their environment. With the collapse of the dynasty, the Mongols withdrew to the steppes and never again played any role of more than local importance.
Morris Rossabi, Khubilai Khan (1987, reissued in 2009 with a new preface), discusses his life and times. Accounts of his life may also be found in histories of China and of the Mongols, especially in Wolfram Eberhard, A History of China, 4th ed. (1977); René Grousset, The Empire of the Steppes: A History of Central Asia (1970, reprinted 1999; originally published in French); and Robert Marshall, Storm from the East: From Genghis Khan to Khubilai Khan (1993), published in conjunction with a television series. A concise but very competent account of Kublai's reign may be found in J.J. Saunders, The History of the Mongol Conquests (1971, reprinted 2001), which has an annotated bibliography. Context is provided by James C.Y. Watt et al., The World of Khubilai Khan: Chinese Art in the Yuan Dynasty (2010), an exhibition catalog, which presents a brief introduction to the arts and culture of the era; and Linda Komaroff and Stefano Carboni (eds.), The Legacy of Genghis Khan: Courtly Art and Culture in Western Asia, 1256–1353, an exhibition catalog, which discusses the influence of Mongol traditions on the Islamic world.

I'm trying to get backtrack 5 r3 fully running on my acer aspire one 722 netbook, and have run into this missing "module.symvers" file twice now when trying install two separate packages.
Running the install from synaptic or from the command line using apt-get install gives an error, directing me to look at the make.log file to get the reason. The reason in both cases seems to be:
"WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-source-3.2.6/Module.symvers is missing; modules will have no dependancies and modversions."
Does anyone know how to create, or generate, the missing Module.symvers file?

The furor over a proposed pay cut for the priests serving the Salt Lake Valley's Greek Orthodox community is intensifying.
A report prepared for the parish council by its audit committee said the priests at Holy Trinity and Prophet Elias churches took money out of accounts intended for the needy and used it "in ways that are questionable and appear to be inappropriate."
The audit was delivered July 15 to the parish council, two weeks before the council cut its three priests' pay by 40 percent, saving $125,000 annually and helping balance its revenue-barren annual budget.
Greek Orthodox parishioners received a summary of the audit in an email distributed Monday from the Parish Council, the day before the council announced a special assembly will be held Aug. 25 at Prophet Elias church in Holladay to discuss priestly pay and other short- and long-term solutions to parish financial problems.
The priests did not respond to a request for comment from The Salt Lake Tribune.
But the audit raised the ire of Metropolitan Isaiah, leader of the Denver-based Greek Orthodox Metropolis or diocese, which includes Salt Lake.
"This is nothing more than a witch hunt to embarrass your priests," wrote Metropolitan Isaiah, who had responded to the priests' pay cuts by halting most religious services in Salt Lake, including weddings and baptisms, until the parish meets its responsibility to provide the priests with the compensation they are entitled to under archdiocesan rules.
"Does the current audit committee not have a sense of morals?" he asked in a letter to Parish Council President Dimitrios Tsagaris, threatening that "The time is coming … when the archbishop can declare canonical disorder," oust the council and take over the parish administration.
Maintaining the current council has done nothing the last 15 months to "bring unity and increased income to the parish," Metropolitan Isaiah concluded with the observation: "Please know that our loving God oversees the welfare of all His people, including His faithful servants who serve Him as His deacons, priests and bishops. A word to the wise is sufficient."
The Metropolitan's position on the priestly pay issue is supported by a local group called "Protect Our Priests," which maintains it has collected more than 500 signatures calling on the Parish Council to comply with the church's uniform parish regulations and to pay the priests what they are due.
Phillip Floor, a Parish Council member from 2004 through 2012, said he signed the online petition because he believes the current council has abandoned "normal financial reporting" that would validate its claims of poverty and "is attempting to overstate the current financial shortfall solely as a means to eliminate the clergy."
He was not concerned by the audit committee's report, contending its attack on the priests' handling of benevolence funds was backfiring on critics and building support for the Rev. Michael Kouremetis at Prophet Elias and the Rev. Matthew Gilbert at Holy Trinity.
The audit committee said the priests had not cooperated with attempts to inspect the accounts, which had been closed and changed, prompting committee concerns that the parish could face tax-reporting problems.
The committee said it found that more than 100 checks were written out of the Holy Trinity benevolent fund in less than a year, with $4,600 "directed to the priest's family members."
At Prophet Elias, the audit committee said, about half of the expenditures out of the benevolence fund during the past three years (totaling $12,000) were used to benefit a church employee, often paying personal rent and utility bills. Some payments were made out to cash.
"A number of members of the parish have indicated that they have knowledge of improper usage of benevolent funds. This information is rather widespread in the community [and growing]," the audit committee said in its email regarding the probe. "It was determined that an appropriate and proper course of action was for the audit committee to look into the benevolent funds' activities and try to dispel the harmful rumors."
Metropolitan Isaiah disagreed in his letter to Tsagaris, arguing the audit committee's role was confined to the current parish budget.
Even if an audit was justified, he contended the priests acted appropriately.
At Prophet Elias, Metropolitan Isaiah said, "I received concise information from the priest of the drastic situation the recipient was in. … I can say most definitely that the assistance given to this individual was truly of a benevolent nature."
He said Holy Trinity's benevolent-account funds were spent on seminarians and worship services involving visiting clergy and chanting.
Tsagaris said the audit committee's report speaks for itself and that "We are in communications with the archdiocese's legal committee. It is actively engaged in looking further at this."

Special parish assembly
The Greek Orthodox church of Greater Salt Lake will hold a special assembly Aug. 25 at noon at Prophet Elias church, 5335 Highland Drive, to discuss the Utah parish's financial problems, with has resulted in a cut of priestly pay and the cessation of religious services.

Ubuntu talk:Hardy
FIXME: Wine and CrossOver descriptions, not only on Intrepid, but all Ubuntu distros are inaccurate
Please, the description of CrossOver and Wine is wrong in most of the Ubuntu pages, quoting Wikipedia:
CrossOver: CrossOver, known before version 6.0 as CrossOver Office, is the collective name for four commercial and proprietary programs developed by CodeWeavers that allow many Windows-based applications to run on Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris using a compatibility layer. The programs include CrossOver Mac, CrossOver Linux, CrossOver Games Mac, and CrossOver Games Linux.
The programs are modified, proprietary versions of the public Wine source tree with various compatibility patches added, more user-friendly configuration tools and commercial support. CodeWeavers employs several Wine developers and contributes code back to the free software/open source software Wine project as per the GNU LGPL, although CrossOver is proprietary software.
and Wine, in Corporate sponsorship:
The main corporate sponsor of Wine is CodeWeavers, which employs Julliard and many other Wine developers to work on Wine and on CrossOver, CodeWeavers' supported version of Wine, which includes some application-specific tweaks not considered suitable for the WineHQ version, as well as some additional proprietary components
As we can see, CodeWeavers is a sponsor of Wine, and CrossOver is a modified version of Wine, not the other way around.

How to install applications for study of religious texts
Grumble removed the instruction I had written for installing gnomesowrd (Bible study tool) and zekr (Quran study tool): diff I believe these religious text study tools are quite useful for a large number of people, also these instruction were included in the gutsy's guide. I will add those instructions again. If anyone thinks these instruction should not be added to the guide, please first discuss here before removing them. --Mderakhs 17:35, 9 May 2008
All programs are useful for a small number of people and many therefore need a guide. (The programs used by the largest number of people often don't require a guide.) Most of the programs and situations in Ubuntuguide concern unusual problems; if their instructions were removed just because they addressed a focus audience, this guide would be very slim indeed!
The guide is completely revamped from version to version, because some programs are no longer functional six months later.
I encourage anyone that removes instructions to be sure that the described program is actually defunct before removing its instructions from the guide.
Don't remove something just because you personally think it is trivial. -- Perspectoff 18:09, 26 May 2008 (EEST)
DVD Support
Is the method on the page a little complex? I managed it with:
sudo apt-get install debhelper fakeroot build-essential sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
--Nerrep 17:03, 25 April 2008 (EEST)
Answer to "DVD Support" ^^^
So what :b In the medibuntu repository there are more packages.
But since it is done that way as well, I shall add it.
But I prefer that we install a package via PMS not scripts and such ways ...
Answer to Answer to DVD Support
Given that most of the users of this page will be new an inexperianced users, it's much simpler for them to type in a couple of lines to the console than to start editing configuration files. I'm comfortable with vi, but most people aren't. The entire philosophy of Ubuntu is that it is easy to use, and I feel that this place should reflect that. I think that the simpler method should be used, unless there is some particular advantage from the method described on the page at the moment?
--Nerrep 17:42, 25 April 2008 (EEST)
Graphics Drivers
Is there any advantage to using Envy than the simpler, built in approach of System --> Administration --> Hardware drivers?
--Nerrep 19:03, 25 April 2008 (EEST)
Nope. This is actually the preferred method and Alberto Milone the author of envy is working on debian packages for Intrepid that interface with "Jockey" (the app you mentioned above). --Michaelfavia 00:09, 17 July 2008 (EEST)
Answer to DVD Support
The new users have to learn the package management system. If you install through scripts, you have ""broken"" your system.Then they think that everything is installed that way. Besides, if you install libdvdcss2 from Medibuntu, if there is a revision someday, you get it.
Answer to Envy question
Envy installs the latest ATI or nVidia drivers. The repository driver is older.
Apt links
can you add apt links (like apt://foo)?
Documentation Style
Using code boxes to denote both Terminal commands AND GUI navigation is confusing. Suggest a separate format for each.
Documentation Scope
The scope of the document should be defined and stated up front, eg. 'This guide is intended to...'
The basic document would include instructions on getting 'basic' Ubuntu installed and its 'primary' set of applications configured and working. This primary set of applications also needs to be defined up front.
All secondary application guides that then fall outside of scope should be relegated to separate pages/sections.
For example, Ubuntu Hardy Heron comes pre-canned with RhythmBox. Rhythmbox is therefore a primary application. A 'basic' installation of Ubuntu therefore has audio capability (which may need to be configured). Installing Amarok (and other media players) is optional and should be considered a secondary application.

New Laws Remove Statutory Obstacles Preventing Ill Workers From Obtaining Workers' Compensation Benefits and Offers Accidental Death Benefits to Families of Uniformed Service Personnel Who Died From 9/11 Related Illnesses Comprehensive Plan Expedites Access to Health Care
Governor George E. Pataki today signed three important pieces of legislation into law. The first new law enables many workers who became ill after the expiration of the statutory two-year workers' compensation filing deadline to resubmit their claim for further consideration. The legislation was developed as the result of negotiations by the Workers' Compensation Board, the State Insurance Fund, the AFL-CIO and the Legislature. The second new law permits application for accidental death benefits to families of police officers, firefighters, and other uniformed personnel who participated in the rescue, recovery and clean-up operations at the World Trade Center site. The third new law eliminates the statute of limitations to allow rescue and recovery workers who retired from public service to later have their retirement status reclassified as accidental disability if illnesses related to their work on the rescue, recovery and clean-up operations service on 9/11 later surface.

Thanks seems too be a and very handy script to have around.
Just some personal junk i have laying around, but i figured with the new BT being out, new forums and schmoo almost here i might as well contribute a little something to the community that has given me so much.
No error checking in any of these because after all i wrote them for myself
Protip: Just copy and paste to your shell it will echo it in for you.

Just do update-bt in your shell whenever you feel the urge to pwn .. if you want to see what was updated check the /var/log/updates folder obviously!Code:mkdir /var/log/updates echo '#!/bin/sh SLEEPY=$(sleep 2) DATE=$(date) /usr/bin/svn update /pentest/exploits/framework3 >> /var/log/updates/msfupdate 2>&1 echo $DATE >> /var/log/updates/msfupdate 2>&1 $SLEEPY /pentest/exploits/framework3/msfcli > /pentest/exploits/framework3/list 2>&1 $SLEEPY /usr/bin/svn update /pentest/exploits/exploitdb >> /var/log/updates/exploitdb 2>&1 echo $DATE >> /var/log/updates/exploitdb 2>&1 $SLEEPY /usr/bin/svn update /pentest/scanners/nikto >> /var/log/updates/nikto 2>&1 echo $DATE >> /var/log/updates/nikto 2>&1 $SLEEPY /usr/bin/svn update /pentest/exploits/SET >> /var/log/updates/SET 2>&1 echo $DATE >> /var/log/updates/SET 2>&1 $SLEEPY /usr/bin/svn update /pentest/exploits/fasttrack >> /var/log/updates/fasttrack 2>&1 echo $DATE >> /var/log/updates/fasttrack 2>&1 $SLEEPY /usr/bin/svn update /pentest/web/w3af >> /var/log/updates/w3af 2>&1 echo $DATE >> /var/log/updates/w3af 2>&1 $SLEEPY /usr/bin/svn update /pentest/web/ProxyStrike >> /var/log/updates/proxystrike 2>&1 evho $DATE >> /var/log/updates/proxystrike 2>&1 $SLEEPY /usr/bin/svn update /pentest/web/waffit >> /var/log/updates/waffit 2>&1 echo $DATE >> /var/log/updates/waffit 2>&1 $SLEEPY /usr/local/sbin/openvas-nvt-sync >> /var/log/updates/openvas 2>&1 echo $DATE >> /var/log/updates/openvas 2>&1' > /usr/bin/update-bt chmod 755 /usr/bin/update-bt
Protip3: You dont want to be bothered with running this thing every few days just load it as a cronjob "btw thanks swc"
Code:echo '#!/bin/sh' > /usr/bin/update-time echo "ntpdate navobs1.gatech.edu" >> /usr/bin/update-time chmod 755 /usr/bin/update-time

So .. 3 new commandsCode:echo '#!/bin/sh' > /usr/bin/msfsearch echo 'grep -i $1 /pentest/exploits/framework3/list' >> /usr/bin/msfsearch chmod 755 /usr/bin/msfsearch
update-time "it updates the clock fyi lol"
my-ip "it tells you your external ip" and..
msfsearch"it makes finding that module faster than you can say muts just r00ted me " ... for instance try "msfsearch openview" and you'll see what i mean
protip4: Its should be clear but msfsearch relies on the update script .. you dont want to use it just do "/pentest/exploits/framework3/msfcli > /pentest/exploits/framework3/list" and your good.
Oh one last thing .. you want to comment about how scripts should go here, its better to grep this way etc, etc i welcome it "always willing to learn" .. but this works for me and in the end of the day ... thats all that really matters
Thanks seems too be a and very handy script to have around.
I was looking for something similar to this, but I wanted one that was a little more updated: So, I was looking to make maybe a bash or perl script that would run fast-track.py and execute it's "update everything" function. Problem is; I'm a noob and thought maybe a bash script with sleep and do while loops would execute the interactive mode of fast-track.py and it didn't work. Please let me know if you have any suggestions...

The product, called the Teddy Bear Bread, is shaped like a teddy bear with a happy face. These charmingly-designed, golden brown and sweetly scented delicacies will make a welcome addition to any meal, or simply a delicious snack.
French came up with the idea for the business after making the specialty bread for her family and friends for decades. The love of the bread grew with each warm, succulent batch she made using natural, fresh and pure ingredients. Now, French has started the business with the help of her four grandsons, three of whom are autistic.
French aims to use the business not only to put her great specialty bread into the hands of hungry customers, but to teach her grandsons, who range in age from 10 to 16 years, about entrepreneurship, develop their baking skills and foster their self-sufficiency. Alexandre, age 16 and autistic, will serve as the chief of inventory, while Christian, age 14 and also autistic, will be chief of mailing. Noah, who is 10 and autistic, will be the chief taster, while his twin brother Ethan, who is the only grandson without Autism, will serve as general manager. All of the boys will actively participate in making each loaf of bread individually and by hand.
"This business truly is a labor of love. Our family has loved this bread for years and we want to share this special, one-of-a-kind product with others. Also, this business grew out of the love we have for our grandsons and the goal of helping each one of them develop their own set of unique skills through the art of bread making," French said.
The business will market the bear breads through direct sales and mail order. Each bear-shaped loaf is priced at $4. To place orders, call 480-543-8189 or email email@example.com.

Prabal Gurung's Travel Diary to Anguilla
Travel season is upon us, which means packing season is as well. Before anyone becomes stressed out by how many shoes to fit in one suitcase, we decided to ask the experts. And who better than jet setters Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, whose latest collection for The Row was filled with travel-ready pieces.
ELLE: Why is it important to have travel-specific pieces in your wardrobe?
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen: "Women are traveling all the time and are constantly on the go. It's important to know that you have staples in your wardrobe that transportable: pieces that can be worn in different ways, that are appropriate in different occasions, that can be mixed and matched. It is all about making women's lives easier."
ELLE: What is your idea of the perfect travel bag and why?
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen: "A bag that is light, medium to large, easy to access — the day luxe."

Ask The Paris Review
Unread Books; Changing Character NamesBy Lorin Stein
I've never read Moby-Dick or War and Peace, but people think I have, because I told them so. What is the great book you have never—but should have—read?
Just this morning—at five o'clock, to be exact—I was staring at the ceiling, thinking about Krapp's Last Tape and how shocked my favorite college professor would be if he knew I still haven't seen or read it. At least I hope he'd be shocked. I have never got through any of Beckett's novels (and have seen almost none of his plays, or anybody else's). I have never got through Henry Green's Living or Concluding, though neither one is a long book, and I have sometimes heard myself call Green my "favorite" postwar English novelist, as if I had read enough to have one. I have never got through Jane Eyre or Giovanni's Room or Journey to the End of the Night or Zeno's Conscience or Pierre—I have never got through chapter one of Pierre. I have never read The Life of Henry Brulard and am not sure it's even a novel. I have never read Memoirs of an Anti-Semite (but have said I have). I will never reread Dostoevsky as an adult, which in my case is more or less the same as not having read him. I couldn't finish The Recognitions: I stopped 150 pages from the end, when the words just stopped tracking, and have never managed five pages of JR. I can't remember which Barbara Pym novels I read, it was so long ago, and there are so many I haven't. I have never made it to the cash register with a novel by Ronald Firbank. Thomas Hardy defeats me. So does D. H. Lawrence: you can love a writer and never actually feel like reading any more of his novels. I have never read Lady Chatterley's Lover. I never got to the end of Invisible Man. I have never read Stoner or Gormenghast or Blood Meridian or Wide Sargasso Sea (see Jane Eyre, above). Or any Faulkner novel all the way through besides The Sound and the Fury. I have never enjoyed a novel by Eudora Welty enough to keep going. I think I got to the end of V., which may be even worse than having put it down, and know for a certainty I never got far in Gravity's Rainbow. I have never read U.S.A. or Tom Jones or Tristram Shandy or Pamela or any novels by Irwin Shaw, James Jones, Mavis Gallant, or Dashiell Hammet. Or Raymond Chandler. I have never read Tender Is the Night, but just the other night someone used it as an example of something, and I nodded. Read More

I was out of town, so I unfortunately missed Saturday..

I was out of town, so I unfortunately missed Saturday..
Yes, I think the whole state scored Cinco de Mayo. This place almost never barrels and it did yesterday, the offshore wind was just enough to hold the waves up. I'll remember this one for sure.
I want some!!!!!!!!!!! I miss warm water so much. you guys suck. I'm an emotional wreck.
Solid swell for sure, had a blast yesterday!
Wow, that is 1000x better than the slop we had up here. It was a mess all weekend, and the only decent waves were the waist high stuff I couldn't hit up this morning.
I heard from friends it was 2x better on Saturday, but I was in TAMPA! Not happy about that... Last good swell for a while I'm sure...
I was supposed to get some of this. I had an offer to come down saturday afternoon from N.H.
The plan was to surf Saturday morning in N.H. then get on the plane and surf Juno pier by saturday night. I was supposed to go down and drive a car back, but then had the offer withdrawn. I was so bummed considering the report was looking super good. Then this video evidence is just a slap in the face as to what I had a chance to get. Oh well, we got it real good here on Saturday and Sunday morning. Even though we are still in full winter suits. Glad you guys all scored

CrawlTrack, webmaster dashboard.
Web analytic, SEO and protection
CrawlProtect, your website safety.
Reinforced protection
Two php/MySQL scripts, free and easy to install
The tools you need to manage and keep control of your site.
You are not logged in.
Lot of statistics programs have a way to track multiple sites and this is with making a new ID for each site and pasting a new code to all the sites.
I propose something this far only programs like TraceWatch and Piwik can do. Actually more programs can do this but none of them are free.
It would be very powerful feature to have if CrawlTrack could track all the sites with one tag code & all the stats would be merged for all these sites. This way if you have many sites you can have real network traffic trends and statistics and much better overview what is going on. I know many people would like this because it would save lot of time.
Technically I know the main problem is that if you allow it in a such way bad people could inject their own urls into your database with their code. But this can be prevented with adding a "secret" PHP variable to invocation tag.. it has to match the one in the database and only then the stats are approved to the database.
This is really ultimated feature and I can't see why most statistics programs haven't yet adopted it.. maybe they just don't know what people want
I have written my own primitive stats program with this feature but it is nothing like CrawlTrack, thanks for awesome program!
You can used the same tag for all your site if you want, but in that case you will not able to have detail stats per site.
Have you also have a look on the All sites summary page (available from the site selection liste)?
Yes I'm aware of this, but with TraceWatch and Piwik it is possible to have detailed stats with help of simple tags in the tracking code.
Haven't really checked the All sites summary page though, will check it out, thanks!
Thank you for your response. After the change is made should it take effect immediately? I just tried all the way down to 1000 and it still does the same thing...... If need be I am happy to give you my ICQ # so we can figure this out. I am very fond of Crawltrack and have always been pleased with the performance
Eek, spam!
Anyway I seem to have came back to this idea and I know how to express it this time. What would be nice for Crawltrack to have is a way to add a prefix for pages.
Lets say you could do something like this with tracking tag:
< ? php
$ctprefix = "somedomain.com";
? >
Now every entry page and Pages viewed page would get somedomain.com prefix in front of them. Why this is useful? Well you could make the tag look like:
$ctprefix = " $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; ";
And now you can track all the sites with just one tag!
I hope I explained myself better this time. Maybe this is already possible somehow?

NASHVILLE, TN -- The National Automatic Merchandising Association's Women of the Industry group will host its second annual Coffee, Tea and Water networking breakfast at this year's conference here. The breakfast is scheduled for Thursday, Nov.14 at 7 a.m., and will include a roundtable idea exchange led by WIN Education and Events Task Force chair Shivani Gupta of Canteen (Charlotte, NC).
NAMA director of meetings and events Sue Ralston reported that last year's WIN breakfast at CT&W in New Orleans drew more than 50 participants. "We look forward to even more momentum this year," she predicted.
"The value-added topics we plan to address include the challenges, opportunities and successes of women in the refreshment services industry," Ralston explained. "This is an exciting time for WIN members of NAMA who are working to foster this channel's growth overall."
Ralston added that all CT&W registrants are welcome to attend the event, and thanked sponsors Avanti Markets, Newco Enterprises, Shasta/LaCroix, U-Select It, Vistar and Wolfgang Puck Coffee, for making it possible.
The 2013 CT&W meet is set for Nov. 12 through 14 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center. It again is being held concurrently with the International Bottled Water Association's annual business conference and trade show, which will run from Nov. 11 through 15.
Online registration for the CT&W conference is available at vending.org. Further information about the event may be requested from NAMA's director, coffee and water service Roger Stewart by calling (312) 346-0370, ext. 228

A much-loved pet greyhound has been put down after a dog attack in Sydney's south-west.
A father and son, 74 and 39, were walking their muzzled greyhounds on leads through Macquarie Fields on Saturday when the dog attacked.
Police said they have seized a dog, which was later identified as a male Staffordshire terrier, and took him to Campbelltown Animal Care Facility. Police originally said the dog was a pit bull.
The son tried to separate the dogs but was injured when a piece of metal from one of the muzzles became lodged in his knee.
Police say he grabbed the attacking dog by the collar but the dog slipped out of the collar and ran off.
One greyhound had to be put down following the attack and the other sustained minor injuries.
The 39-year-old will undergo surgery to his knee.
NSW Police Inspector Tara Norton said the men were very distressed.
"Obviously no one likes to lose a pet and a much loved pet," she told ABC radio.
"And in addition to that we now have someone who is seeking treatment in hospital for a significant injury to his leg.
"So the whole situation has been terrible."
Police say they have spoken to a 57-year-old man and it is expected that legal action will be taken against him.
