INTERVIEW: Cazzette at Electric Zoo
Listen to Cazzette on iHeartRadio
Alex Björklund and Sebastian Furrer have been beaming their fans up ever since they formed Cazzette. With a remix for Avicii, bootlegs for Swedish House Mafia and Adele, and their hit "Beam Me Up," which has been ruling the radio waves, the guys are getting ready to re-release their album via Island Def Jam records - where they recently signed to this year.
We caught up with the guys at Electric Zoo in New York City after their set on one of the main stages at the festival. They talk about working with Ash Pournouri, Michelle Obama, and what it's like DJing while wearing those Cazzette heads! Check it out below:
Now that you're touring in America, how do you like it here?
We love it. It's our favorite place to be. Yeah. It's kind of funny. It's almost like the country is designed for touring. I mean, I can see why show business is so big here because to get around, it is so easy. Like there's like flights are like everywhere all day when, whenever, you know? Like compared to Europe where you've got to, you know, you've got to do to like 7 connections to get to Denmark and we live in Sweden so, you know, it's different. We love touring Europe and the US but it's kind of cool how easy everything is over here.
You guys did Arthur Ashe Kid's Day, how was that?
It was amazing. It was really cool to just see all kinds of artists coming out and we saw the other guys playing. Michelle Obama was dancing to "Beam Me Up," our track. It was really cool! It was a cool experience.
Did you guys get to meet her?
We didn't actually. I think she's too VIP for us.
Well "Beam Me Up" is still such a big song, what do you think about that?
We're very happy with that, of course. We didn't really know what to expect in the beginning when we made the track. At first it was this instrumental called "Kill Mode," and then we finished it together with our manager Ash in LA. We kind of added all the vocals and made it to be what it is today, and that was one of our first tracks ever. We still get phenomenal feedback on that after touring for 2 years and I think that says a lot about the song, you know.
And you remixed Adele? Are you Adele fans?
Yes. We are big Adele fans.
What other pop stars do you guys like? Or any artists outside of dance music?
Coldplay, Bob Marley, we listen to anything. We try to get inspiration from as many angles as possible. You can't just listen to one genre.
What is it like working with Ash?
It's really cool. I mean, I think we're so fortunate to be able to work with him because like as many people said before, he is a mastermind and he has a masterplan for everything he does. We're so lucky and fortunate to be able to work with him. He's really cool and he has cool ideas, and we're usually on the same page. He's quality control. He's like a filter.
Are you guys working on new music? Do you have new music coming out?
Yes. We never stop working after [gigs are over]. So now we will be kind of giving the whole album a facelift, for the iTunes release with Island Def Jam. We're really excited about that. We also have like, I don't know, 10 more songs, new songs. We have so much material now. The thing is, after the album was released, we still worked on the tracks that were released, so it's changed now, a couple of them. I won't say how many and how much, but it's some. It's some vocals in the tracks and there is going to be new tracks on the album. We're discussing it all the time. That's why we're so picky, and [we're] not perfectionists maybe all the time, but almost! Because we don't want to release something that is not perfect.
You DJ with the Cazzette heads sometimes - does it ever really get really hot in there?
Yeah, it's insane. Today, yes. It was already hot. I was like sweating when I was just standing outside. But, you know, you get used to it too but if you're in a club with like big fans behind you, it's not that bad because there's fans built in too. We're going to do new ones too!
Where did the name "Cazzette" come from?
It was our manager Ash who came up with the name. I think he noticed when we met him that we did like all kinds of music, and we could never decide what to do. He's like, 'Yes but we can do a cassette." And we can have the idea [of] doing your own mixtape of your favorite songs. You do your favorite kind of music that you want to do. Then you release it. It's great because the name and the brand really fits our personalities.
Since we're at the Electric Zoo, if you guys were animals, what animals would you be?
Lion! [And] Dragon!

Modern Languages
Oakton Community College offers college credit courses in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi/Urdu, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, and Spanish. These courses stress the basic language skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Day and evening sections are available at both campuses, and online courses are available in French and Spanish. Those with prior background in a given language should follow the general guidelines stated in course prerequisites when selecting language courses or discuss their placement with the instructor of that language.
Research on the benefits of second language acquisition gives an impressive rationale for world language instruction in terms of the cognitive benefits, academic achievement, and development of positive attitudes toward cultural diversity. The study of another language and culture enables students to interact and communicate with others while gaining a greater understanding of and respect for the cultural perspectives, practices, and products of different cultures. Language study provides an appreciation of state and national responsibilities in the world community and provides a competitive edge in career choices and in professional development
The Alliance for Lifelong Learning, Oakton's adult and continuing education program, offers noncredit conversational courses in a variety of languages. Please see the non-credit language course schedule.

Michael Jordan gets hitched
Former NBA superstar Michael Jordan got hitched over the weekend to girlfriend Yvette Prieto!
The Associated Press reports that Michael and 35-year-old former model Yvette said their "I Dos" in front of a couple hundred friends and family in Palm Beach, Fla., including Tiger Woods, Patrick Ewing, Spike Lee and Ahmad Rashad.
The two married at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea, said Michael's manager Estee Portnoy, who gave the details to the Associated Press.
According to reports, Yvette wore "a French silk voile corseted sheer sheath gown by J'Aton Couture, in an ecru palette with accents of flesh tones, with handmade silk lace created especially for her, and enhanced with Swarovski crystals. The gown featured French seamed crinoline borders, which cascaded into a dramatic cathedral train finished in the lace, with accents of a peacock-feathered design."
Guests were entertained by MC Lyte, K'Jon, Robin Thicke, Usher and The Source, which is an 18-piece band.

Failure to Stop or Slow for a Railroad Crossing
There are many accidents involving motor vehicles and trains each year. If you come across a railroad crossing with the gates down and/or lights flashing do not attempt to cross the railroad crossing. After the train passes through the crossing, do not pass by the gates or flashing lights, there may be another train approaching from the opposite direction. Proceed through the railroad crossing only after the gates raise and the lights stop flashing.
Transit Police Officers are serious about saving lives. According to Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 90 Section 15, if you pass through a railroad crossing while the gates are down and lights flashing the Transit Police have the authority to issue you a Massachusetts Uniform Citation and a two hundred dollar fine.For more information on Operation Lifesaver click here.

I stopped nursing my baby at 1 month old.Does her health affects it?
My baby stopped nursing on me at 1 month old and I'm worried about it.
20th February 2014 07:04 AM #2
Dear gelizaire,
I think it is important and right to celebrate the time that you breastfed your baby for. Whilst it is best for baby to be exclusively breastfed for 6 months (and then alongside solid food from 6 months to two years and beyond); the first month is the very most beneficial for your baby. In particular, your baby had colostrum which is your first milk. This is often termed 'liquid gold' and is hugely beneficial for your baby.
Please try to hold onto this and not to feel guilty. You could wear your baby in a sling now to increase your eye-to-eye contact and to have more wonderful bonding times.
I hope this helps you - please do post back and let us know how you are.
Warm wishes,

Ke$ha: "Me and Johnny Depp had eyeball sex"
Listen to Ke$ha on iHeartRadio
Ke$ha is claiming to have had a special moment with one of Hollywood's biggest leading men - Johnny Depp.
In an interview with U.K. site Metro, the party girl says that she and the actor "had eyeball sex" when they crossed paths at a Los Angeles benefit concert for Superstorm Sandy. The encounter was just months after Depp's split from Vanessa Paradis. Ke$ha admits that they "never really talked," but insists she exchanged some mutual sexually-charged staring with the star.
The 26-year-old bad girl also tells the site that she feels if "men in music talk about sex, girls, strippers and partying," she can too. She calls out the double-standard in the industry, saying that just because she's a woman who is open about her sexuality and lifestyle, it doesn't make her "a drunk."
The singer's documentary series "My Crazy, Beautiful Life," chronicling two years of her life, premieres on MTV on April 23rd.

Your doctor will ask about your and your family's medical history and give you a physical exam that includes listening to your heart with a stethoscope. Aortic valve regurgitation usually produces a heart murmur, the sound of blood leaking backward through the aortic valve.
Your doctor will then decide what tests are needed to make a diagnosis. For testing, you may be referred to a cardiologist.
Other heart problems can cause signs and symptoms similar to those of aortic valve regurgitation, and it's possible to have more than one disorder at once. Common tests doctors use to diagnose aortic valve regurgitation include:
These tests help your doctors diagnose aortic valve regurgitation, determine how serious the problem is, and decide whether your aortic valve needs repair or replacement.

"What's the good of bringing it down," cried Parrington, who had thrown back to the wilds in his excitement.
It was, it must be, the window to which the intrepid Parrington had descended from the one above.
"It is certainly kind of them to send us a boat," said Parrington.
Parrington felt for the railing behind him and leaned against it for support.
While the Mindoro reduced her speed noticeably, Parrington looked across at the strange vessel through his glasses.
"Yes, it is the Japanese steamer," said Parrington to himself.
Parrington was one of those who suspected Raffles, or, at all events, one who was in the secret of those suspicions.
Harryman and Parrington walked along the quay in silence, their steps resounding loudly in the stillness of the night.
The colonel went into the guard-room while Parrington remained in the street.
Parrington at once opened fire on the hostile ship, and in a few minutes the latter had to pay heavily for her carelessness.

In what could be the first test of the new Los Angeles County law requiring the use of condoms in adult film shoots, an AIDS advocacy group alleges that a Chatsworth porn company is filming actors having unprotected sex.
The AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which was the driving force behind last year's Measure B, claims it received an anonymous letter alleging Immoral Productions was producing adult content in which actors were performing in various sex acts without the use of condoms.
AHF President Michael Weinstein said the anonymous tipster "had access to the set of Immoral Productions." He added that the foundation verified the claim by reviewing material on the company's website.
"There is no if and or buts about Immoral Productions flouting this law," Weinstein said.
The complaint cites three additional alleged violations by Immoral Productions including the failure to provide proof that production company principals and management level employees completed blood borne pathogen training as well as not providing correct signage to notify actors of their right to use condoms during filming.
"Business activities occurring at Immoral Productions pose a substantial risk of bodily harm and life long disability," AHF analyst Mark Roy McGrath wrote in his complaint letter to county health director Dr. Jonathan Fielding.
AHF is requesting the county department respond to the complaint within 30 days.
The health department issued a statement confirming it received the complaint.
"Public Health immediately commenced an investigation of the allegations and has been in contact with the production company. The investigation is on-going," the statement said, declining further comment.
The county also noted that producers who apply for an adult film permit have up to six months to comply with administrative requirements of Measure B, but must comply with worker protection regulations, such as use of condoms and signage immediately.
Michael W. Fattorosi, the attorney representing Immoral Productions, declined to comment about AHF's complaint Tuesday morning.
But a group representing the porn industry challengers AHF's claims and argues the foundation is wasting tax dollars pursuing the issue.
"There hasn't been an on-set transmission of HIV since 2004-nationwide," said Diane Duke, chief executive officer of the Free Speech Coalition, a nonprofit group representing the adult entertainment industry
"Adult film industry protocols are highly effective, which is why it is so preposterous that AHF has spent millions on a problem that doesn't exist. The bottom line is that AHF's efforts will only diminish performer safety, drive jobs out of LA and California and spend valuable tax dollars on a non-issue."
Measure B, The County of Los Angeles Safer Sex in the Adult Film Industry Act, passed by a 56 percent vote in November. It requires producers of pornography films to obtain a public health permit from the county and follow all health and safety laws, which includes the use of condoms.
Companies found in violation of the law may face a fine of $1,000, six months in county jail or have their production permits revoked, according to AHF.
"The reason why we filed this complaint is because at the end of the day this is going to be a test," said Tom Myers, chief of public affairs and general counsel for the foundation. "Will the county government fulfill the wishes of the citizens of Los Angeles County who voted for this law?"
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health licenses 40 different types of businesses, from restaurants to salons and public swimming pool facilities, with more than 200 different categories for which the county issues permits, according to department officials.
To that end, Weinstein argues it shouldn't be difficult for the county to enforce the law and conduct spot inspections as it would for any permitted business in the county.
Between 2004 and 2010, 23 people thought to be connected with the adult film industry tested HIV positive with the most recent infection in October 2010, according to AHF. The foundation said Los Angeles County health officials determined that of those 23 people, eight of them were likely infected as a result of their work in porn films.
AHF officials said it is not targeting Immoral Productions and are aware of others including porn giant Hustler that have publicly stated an intent to defy the new law, but Myers added that "we're not spending time trolling for violators" because the county should be the enforcers of the law.

'The Internship' movie inspires iHeartRadio's interns
At iHeartRadio, interns play an integral part in our business. Across the country, our iHeartRadio stations rely on interns for everything from administrative tasks to contributing on the air, and these internships are vital for aspiring radio professionals to learn the ropes and gain invaluable experience that doesn't come in a classroom.
So we were super excited when we first found out about new movie The Internship, which follows Billy McMahon (Vince Vaughn) and Nick Campbell (Owen Wilson) as they become interns at Google after the company they had been working for goes under. What better time to shine the spotlight on the interns that work hard for us everyday?
Check out some iHeartRadio interns and their bosses from across the country dishing out advice and tidbits they've picked up along the way.

CBS: Even the Chinese are getting tired of North Korea
posted at 12:05 pm on April 4, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
Both Allahpundit and I have written about the antics in Pyongyang today, but this works as a bit of a backgrounder to see how the political ground may be subtly shifting under Kim Jong-un's feet. China has been North Korea's only friend for decades, and China has good strategic reasons to have the DPRK as a client state and irritant to the US and Japan. However, the events of the last few years, combined with increased trade across the Pacific, has some in China wondering why they still bother:
"North Korea is a crazy country and it has a crazy leadership," Beijing resident Wu told CBS News, giving only his first name. "They talk nonsense while holding their peoples' lives hostage. The government uses money to build nuclear weapons while their people starve."
"North Korean leaders don't care about people's lives," he continued. "They are really playing with the lives of their people. China should use food as a weapon. It should stop providing food and put pressure on North Korea." …
Some Chinese academics have also begun questioning their country's continued support for the North.
"The United States is one of the largest trading partners to China," Cheng Xiaohe, an Associate Professor of International Relations at China's Renmin University tells CBS News. "The ROK (Republic of Korea — South Korea) is also a trading partner to China. So the two countries, China and the DPRK (Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea – North Korea), don't share common enemies. The treaties the two countries signed 40 years ago, 50 years ago, have become increasingly irrelevant."
Cheng says that while China's state-run media remain overtly sympathetic toward North Korea, "other mass-media have become increasingly frustrated with the DPRK, particularly the DPRK's provocation within the past year. We understand how the train in Chinese mass media moves, but from my personal observations, the train now is moving towards the direction not favorable to the DPRK."
Officially, the government remains pro-Pyongyang, as a Communist Party journal editor discovered when he offered similar opinions in print recently; he's on indefinite suspension at the moment. Still, the fact that the Chinese are openly critical of both North Korea and Beijing's alliance with the Kim regime shows that Kim may be at risk of cutting off his only link to any sort of aid and support at all.

MosaicismChromosomal mosaicism; Gonadal mosaicism
Mosaicism is a condition in which cells within the same person have a different genetic makeup. This condition can affect any type of cell, including:
- Blood cells
- Egg and sperm cells (gametes)
- Skin cells
Mosaicism is caused by an error in cell division very early in the development of the unborn baby.
Examples of mosaicism include:
- Mosaic Down Syndrome
- Mosaic Klinefelter Syndrome
- Mosaic Turner Syndrome
Symptoms vary and are very difficult to predict. Symptoms may not be as severe if you have both normal and abnormal cells.
Exams and Tests
Genetic testing can diagnose mosaicism.
Tests will likely need to be repeated to confirm the results, and to help determine the type and severity of the disorder.
Treatment will depend on the type and severity of the disorder.Youmay need less intense treatment if only some of the cells are abnormal.
Outlook (Prognosis)
How well you do depend on which organs and tissues areaffected (for example, the brain or heart). It is difficult to predict the effects of having two different cell lines in one person.
In general, patients with a high number of abnormal cells have the same outlook as people with the typical form of the disease (those who have all abnormal cells).
Patients with a low number of abnormal cells may only be mildly affected. They may not discover that they have mosaicism until they give birth to a child who has the typical (non-mosaic) form of the disease.
Possible Complications
Complications depend on how many cells are affected by the genetic change.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
A diagnosis of mosaicism may cause confusion and uncertainty. A genetic counselor may help answer any questions about diagnosis and testing.
There is currently no known way to prevent mosaicism.

Entertainment and sports company Anschutz Entertainment Group will take over operations at the Los Angeles Convention Center under a contract tentatively approved Wednesday by the City Council.
In a 10-0 vote, the council backed a recommendation to allow AEG, owner of the Staples Center and L.A. Live, to run the city-owned and operated downtown facility.
Under the deal, the city will retain ownership of the 1970s-era center, but AEG will manage the site.
The city is seeking to turn around the fortunes of the convention center, a money loser and an ill-designed space that has failed to attract big-name conventions. The hope is that an outside operator will be able to boost revenues, noted City Administrative Officer Miguel Santana, who recommended the selection of AEG.
"The most successful conventions are run by private operators," he said. "We want to be competing against San Francisco and Chicago. Right now, we're competing against Sacramento."
AEG beat rival competitor SMG World for the job. Both companies had submitted proposals to operate the facility. Swaying the city was AEG's proposed annual management fee, which was far lower than the one offered by SMG, Santana said, adding that AEG's fee was $250,000, while SMG's was more than double that figure.
In a brief interview Wednesday, Ted Fikre, vice chairman of AEG, said the company is "uniquely qualified" to manage the center.
"Our vision for the convention center is to drive more activity to it," he said.
Wednesday's council action drew criticism from Service Employees International United Local 721, which represents convention center workers.
David Sanders, regional director of city workers union SEIU 721, said the city shouldn't be turning over its assets to outside operators. While Santana said no layoffs are planned, Sanders questioned whether the 100 part-time workers at the Convention Center will be able to keep their jobs.
SMG filed a protest two weeks ago over Santana's recommendation of AEG, claiming the Los Angeles-based company lacks extensive convention-center management experience. AEG operates or controls six convention centers in Australia and West Asia, according to its website, while SMG, headquartered in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, runs 70 centers in North America.
SMG vice president Gregg Caren did not respond Wednesday to a request for comment.

Connect by Hertz program comes to USC
Students, faculty and staff at the University have access to cars they can rent by the hour through Connect by Hertz, a car share program that became available November 15.
Committed to sustainability, USC has chosen to partner with Connect by Hertz to supply students and others on campus with environmentally friendly cars that are convenient for running errands and that encourage carpooling to off-campus locations.
A $5-an-hour rental rate for Connect by Hertz on USC's campus is in effect through January 9, 2011.
USC is the first university or college in South Carolina to offer a car sharing program and to team up with Connect by Hertz.
"We have an opportunity to show South Carolina that car sharing may be a solution when addressing the quality of life through transportation," said Derrick Huggins, associate vice president for transportation and logistical relations at USC. "This car share program will not only increase the social aspect but may meet the fiscal and health needs of some of our faculty, staff and students.
"A great deal of campus constituents don't have the luxury of owning a car, therefore a doctor or dental visit in the middle of the day is not possible. Now, car sharing is an option at the University of South Carolina that will help address those needs," he said.
The Connect by Hertz program requires campus participants to be 18 years or older and to apply for a free membership in the program. Members will receive an access card to rent one of four vehicles at a starting cost of $8 per hour. The cars will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and must be reserved online on the Connect by Hertz website.
USC's fleet consists of two Toyota Priuses, a Ford Escape and a MINI Cooper. The vehicles are located in the South Bull Street garage, the Byrnes parking lot on Sumter Street and the Cliff Apartments parking lot on Whaley Street.
For more information about the Connect by Hertz program at USC or to sign up for membership, go to www.connectbyhertz.com.
To qualify for Connect by Hertz membership, students, faculty and staff must have a valid driver's license and clean driving record. A valid credit or debit card and proof of address also is required. To register, go to www.connectbyhertz.com and use the promotional code: GoGreen2010.
Huggins said the university and Hertz are prepared to expand the program to include more vehicles should there be demand.
"We hope that everyone on campus will take advantage of this program," Huggins said. "We are especially excited about offering this car share program to our international students. Now they can share the cost of renting the vehicle with their USC friends and enjoy a Friday night movie or go bowling, based on their schedule. Just like all students – sometimes you want to do weekend activities spontaneously. This program will give our international students that ability."
The hourly rate includes gasoline, insurance and maintenance. Each car is equipped with GPS turn-by-turn navigation, an iPod adapter, Bluetooth technology, 24-hour roadside assistance and 24-hour access to an in-house member care center.
Checked regularly and serviced monthly by Hertz, the cars provide parents with the assurance that their son or daughter is driving reliable vehicle.
Program details are available at the website: www.connectbyhertz.com. While USC makes the Connect by Hertz program available to students, faculty and staff, the membership agreement for personal use of a vehicle is between Hertz and an individual user. The vehicles are not available for official university business.
Car sharing programs are becoming increasingly popular in cities and on college campuses. Connect by Hertz, a division of the Hertz Corporation, has more than 700 vehicles, 20,000 members and more than 200 locations worldwide, including nearly 40 universities.
For more information about the Connect by Hertz program at the University of South Carolina or to sign up for membership, go to www.connectbyhertz.com. Contact Rick Evans in USC's Vehicle Management and Parking Services at 803-777-1439 with questions.
About Hertz
Connect by Hertz, The Hertz Corporation's (NYSE: HTZ) global car sharing club, has more than 700 vehicles, 20,000 members and more than 200 locations worldwide, including corporate offices and universities. Connect by Hertz offers a wide selection of vehicles available for online reservations and pick up 24/7, 365 days a year all at competitive rates. All cars are equipped with Eileo® technology, and benefits covered by the hourly rate include gas, insurance, GPS turn-by-turn navigation, 24/7 roadside assistance, 24-hour Member Care Center communication, and 180 free miles per 24 hour period.

There is a trick for doing this:
-> Make 2 pipes with webgui
pipe 1 bw 200kbps
pipe 2 bw 100kbps mask scr-ip 0xffffffffff
->Then, attach the same network/hosts to these pipes.
if m0n0wall implemented with kernel_oid "one_pass=0"
in ipfw settings (someone to correct me if not), this has the
-when any single host is alone , gets 100Kbps at max
(pipe 2 delays them, because is slower than pipe#1)
- All hosts/network summarises at 200Kbps at max
(when a 3th host tries to get 100kbps as pipe#2 permits,
pipe#1 becomes the slower pipe and slows the whole
network [host1,host2,host3])
Be carefull, while the same packet goes thru 2 pipes and this
is a good reason to mess the whole configuration .
Good luck.

Hello people,
I'm still struggling to convert my previous debian based router to
m0n0wall and I ran into another problem I am unable to solve myself.
Sorry for keeping spamming the list with questions :-)
My current problem is related to the traffic shaping. I previously used
htb and was used to create stuff like this (just an example):
class 200kbit --> host1 100kbit, host2 100kbit, host3 100kbit
where all these 3 hosts share 200kbit of the bw. The total speed of
these hosts can't exceed the total 200kbit speed (it gets split between
the three of them) and one single host also can't exceed the 100kbit
The previous traffic shaping was more complicated, but the problem is
just how to accomplish these 2 things - 1 host has a limit he can't
exceed, but all of them can't exceed the total bw.
Any help would be really appreciated,

i want to learn to build my own ecommerce store online to sell products
what would i need to learn to build an ecommerce site
is there any courses of software programs that teach ecommerce
Hi Infinite,
Your question is pretty broad, but I'll give the opinion of someone who runs two ecommerce stores.
I think there are two types of stores. I call them Handful (as in a hand full of items) and Boatload (of items). So if your business is only going to sell 1 to 50 different items then that is a Handful. If you store is going to sell 100 or more items, then that is a Boatload. 50 to 100 is the fuzzy zone.
There are LOTS of ecommerce systems out there for the Boatload stores. You know the style: A homepage that shows all the categories / Category pages that show the sub-categories / Sub-category pages that take you to the Product pages / Product pages with the details and the Buy buttons. These sites need to be this way because of the boatload of items they are presenting. Trying to recreate one of these is probably a waste of time because businesses that have such a big investment in their stores want a well-known established ecommerce provider (like Magento, Yahoo, etc)
But there is not much out there for the Handful stores - and I think they are the best type of stores. They focus on information rather than categorization. So they can rank better in searches. If you want to be in ecommerce and are not already a big business, then these are the place to be.
For a Handful type store you need just 3 things:1) a website (may or may not be hosted by the shopping cart provider)2) BUY buttons and VIEW CART buttons that you can put on any website (preferably HTML buttons, but maybe JS buttons)3) a Shopping Cart system to allow people to gather items, learn their shipping cost, and safely pay (safely paying is most important and most difficult)
My ecommerce stores (easydigging.com and bestdryingrack.com) are Handful type stores. They rank well and provide a decent income. I use UltraCart because it provides requirements 2 and 3 without much headache or effort.
Besides UltraCart, I also know of AmeriCommerce that can provide 2 and 3. Ecwid is another system I explored that I think still fits the requirements.
I'm not sure if you want to be a ecommerce retailer, or be a creator of ecommerce systems. Either way, check out the three systems I just mentioned.
I hope this helps you. Let us know...
Thanks for the informative post,is there a way to learn to build an ecommerce store with out using sites like americommerce
I guess I didn't say it very well...
Think of the "store" as just a website that talks about products and gives people the capability to buy them. That website is the store. It is the front end. The part people see. The important part.
The Shopping Cart system (like UltraCart or AmeriCommerce) is the nothing but the cash register. It is the back end. The part people don't see until they are committed to buying.
Do you want to build a store website (the front end), or do you want to build a shopping cart (the back end)?
Normally a business just "uses" a shopping cart, they don't build it. Though they may customize the appearance....
Try woocommerce, this is a wordpress plugin that will turn your site into the store. With a few clicks you can have fully functional store and accept payments easly.
Yep, woocommerce is great, premium product definitely. Plus a theme from themeforest for it and you're ready to sell.

Alfred H. Smith Jr. is building his field of dreams in Branchville, Md. No, he's not building a baseball diamond like in the 1989 film, Field of Dreams. Smith has taken on a greater challenge. He is transforming his family's nearly 90-year-old former construction material operation into a planned community in Prince George's County, about halfway between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.
Like the movie's main character, Smith isn't the type of person who readily gives up on fulfilling his dream. The son of a Washington-area material supplier who founded the business that bears his name, Smith had a successful career in the tough concrete and aggregate business in his own right.
Few of our generation will ever match his achievements. Now, when many of his contemporaries are retiring, Smith is persevering and taking on a challenge of heroic proportions.
Unlike an Iowa farmer, Smith isn't driven by a spirit urging him to build a site on which the wrongs of the past can be rectified. His spirit is leading him to create a legacy that honors his family's commitment to the area. "I want my grandchildren and their grandchildren to be proud of our family's contribution to this area's development," he says.
Smith and his business associate Dan Colton, president of GB Development, have embarked on a venture that many financial advisers would have shunned. Despite some initial resistance from local community leaders, the duo seems to be on the road to success.
Following a lengthy period of permit filings, land development began about three years ago. New home construction activity by Pulte Homes is scheduled to begin in the winter of 2007, with the first families moving in next spring. Before long, the project's northern section will be showcasing new retail, office, hotel, and multifamily homes.
Smith's experience in transforming his land from plant to homestead is one fellow producers may soon share. Producers are discovering their land may be more valuable for its location and potential development than potential concrete sales. This trend could be especially true for older, established operations that were built on what had been the fringe of main urban areas.
Their plan is simple. Offer homebuyers in a land-tight Washington, D.C. residential market an economical and accessible site, and the people will come.
"If you believe the impossible, the incredible can come true."
Smith's commitment to reclaiming his operation's site shouldn't be a surprise to those who know him. When he was involved in the former National Stone Association, he championed the About Face award program. The environmental award program encourages aggregate producers to upgrade their plants in an effort to satisfy opposition from some neighbors.
Within his business, Smith already had a successful redevelopment project before Greenbelt Station. He had successfully transformed an old production site in southern Baltimore from an eyesore into a mini-storage area and a small lakefront development.
The construction of the Greenbelt Metro Station platform and surface parking lot, which was opened in 1993, turned out to be wake-up call for Smith. With reserves nearing depletion and the prospect of additional quality reserves gone, Smith began to wind down operations. He began to set in motion a plan to combine the 160 acres adjacent to the Metro Station with the 120 acres at the former plant site.
Smith's own family was skeptical. "My family thought I was crazy to go ahead with the project," he recalls. Smith bought out his brother's share of the business and has been on his own ever since.
But Smith was on to something, as the area is under pressure for expansion. After all, it's located in a rapidly growing area of the nation. Many of the area's main commuter paths—the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, the Capital Beltway, and Kenilworth Avenue—intersect here.
Smith realized from the outset that his project's success wasn't going to happen quickly. In fact, from true start to finish, the project will take about 20 years. But when it's completed, it will have a significant impact on the community. Smith's team estimates that his project will generate $2.75 billion of direct revenues to Prince George's County and to the City of Greenbelt through 2034. He will have created more than 9000 temporary construction jobs and more than 7000 permanent jobs.

UPLAND -- The Upland Unified School District will need to identify $9 million in cuts for the 2013-14 fiscal year budget over the next two months or face insolvency.
The district's Board of Trustees was updated Thursday on the budget and heard from a fiscal advisor assigned to the district by the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools.
The county issued the district a negative certification for its second interim budget in April, after finding the district will be unable to meet its financial obligations in 2013-14.
"We all knew we were deficit spending. We all knew we were trying to get through this. We had a rainy day fund and it's been raining for a long time," board President Wes Fifield said.
"There is hope with the new money coming in from everything with the new propositions, but we don't know what that money's going to be. We have to make decisions now based on what's going forth. "
The district has until the end of the month to submit a new budget to the county showing they will be able to meet its financial obligations over the next two fiscal years.
The budget must then be adopted by June 30.
The district was given a qualified certification in December.
When Upland Unified officials submitted its second Interim budget, they were seeking another qualified certification, meaning they were confident they could pay their bills in the current fiscal year, but may have difficulty over the next two fiscal years.
Due to the amount of deficit spending by the district - $7.9 million this fiscal year and $9 million next fiscal year - the county downgraded Upland Unified to a negative certification.
The district is also unable to meet it's 3 percent reserve requirement.
"There was no certainly in their minds that we would make next fiscal year, so they did change our certification to a negative certification," said Liz Seymour, senior director of fiscal services for the district.
Michele McClowry, a certified public accountant and former Assistant Superintendent of Business for Pasadena Unified School District, was assigned to the district to guide them through the process in finding the $9 million in cuts.
"I know Upland has always been a beacon of school districts and I don't want you to lose that reputation, but taking action quickly is of utmost importance," said McClowry in her presentation to the board.
The district receives 78 percent of its revenue from the state, which is only funding the district about 77 cents per dollar owed to them
The school district relies on Cost of Living Adjustment funding from the state, which they have not received since the 2007-08 fiscal year, Seymour said.
"That's where the school district is and it's because the state put you here," McClowry said.
About 91 percent of the district's budget is for salaries and benefits, which means many of the cuts may need to come from employees.
McClowry said most districts pay between 85 and 88 percent for salaries and benefits.
Negotiating with employees to implement 5 furlough days and increasing class size by 2 students, which is an option the board is considering, will only address $3 million in cuts.
John Glenn, president of the Upland Teachers Association, said the teachers have been concerned over the district's spending habits over the last few years and have offered suggestions on where to make cuts, but were not taken up by the district.
"From our point of view, the district really haven't made all the deep cuts they claim," Glenn said.
For example, Glenn said, all the teachers were pulled out of the classroom for training and substitutes were hired, which the teachers did not believe was wise spending.
"It's not a criticism on the particular teachers or program or merits of the programs. It's a criticism of the timing," Glenn said. "These things are nice to be able to do when we're in good times, when we've got money and can afford it. "
Glenn said the district has immediately declared impasse during negotiations over the past couple of years, which has led to the use of a state mediator who only focuses on short-term solutions.
"Both times they got smaller concessions from us than when they actually negotiated," he said.
"We're ready to have the conversation about the budget. When they declare impasse, it's on a very narrow topic and with a state mediator all that's being discussed is how many furlough days for this. They're not talking about the big picture issues."
Glenn said he intends on sharing the association's concerns with McClowry during a meeting on Tuesday.
"Realistically, nobody on their side of the conversation is going to be suffering because of this," Glenn said. "It's the teachers that are going to get hit. "
The district has also applied for an advance in property taxes, which makes up 22 percent of the district's annual revenue.
They can also rely on borrowing from other district funds.
McClowry will also help the district look for possible cuts elsewhere in the district, based on what other districts have cut in order to remain solvent.
McClowry informed the board that if they did not make actions quickly, they could lead down the path to insolvency, which means taking a state loan and losing local control of the district.
"It's the worst possible thing to possibly happen to your school district and to your community," she said. "I will do my darndest to help you so we're not there. "
Eight school districts in the state have filed for bankruptcy, she said.
"I have never lost one of my districts and I'm not going to even consider we're going to lose this one," she said. "But the amount you have to cut is so significant that everybody has to understand as quickly as possible what we're up against."

Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez share big baby news!
Halle Berry and fiancee Olivier Martinez have plenty to smile about these days. Seen recently around Paris glowing, the two celebrities are expecting their first child together and apparently Olivier can't contain his excitement! He told a People magazine reporter: "My son will be an American, but I remain French," Martinez.
At the the opening night of the Champs-Elysées Film Festival, where Olivier is serving as the honorary president, he told reporters: "My son will be an American." Olivier, who is French, told reporters that America is his home and he will always be a proud Frenchman.
"I'm French—it's less important," Martinez explained." Meaning, I remain a Frenchman in America, but I adapt to American culture. I feel good there — but I'm still a foreigner."
Halle, who has yet to comment on the sex of the baby has much to celebrate with her latest movie The Call raking in over $51 million at the box office and another X-Men installment coming in 2014. X-Men is currently filming so not sure how Storm's skintight costume looks with a baby bump but we can't wait to see!

Just Relax
By Often Annoyed
from New York City
Best Uses
I bought two of these wonderful chairs. We have them on our upstairs porch. I pull out the footrest, lean back a bit and just relax. I've fallen asleep in this chair three times in the two weeks we've had them. They're very comfortable, well made and great looking.Because they're folding chairs and so solidly built, it's easy to catch a finger in the legs while moving them. A little careful hand placement takes care of that.Overall, I'm very glad I got these.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Beautiful Chair
By Sidney
from Florida
This is a really beautiful chair. I love the pull out foot rest. It's a little larger than I expected, but that's fine. The reason I only gave it 3 stars is that it adjusts too easily. Like most chaises you pull up the arms to adjust the back up and down. With this one gently gripping the arms pulls it up causing the back to fall backwards. I bought these for 2 reasons. 1st to lay back and recline. 2nd since the foot rest stows away and the chair sits upright I thought they would make excellent extra chairs to sit around my patio table. The first time I used them for a barbacue I went to stand up, putting my hands on the arms to stand up and the back fell backwards.I am going to keep these because they are really nice chairs and the price was excellent. My husband thinks he can work with the mechanism so that it is tighter.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

text: Last year about this time David Beckham said he was going to leave Los Angeles. This time though when he said it again, it felt like he really meant it with a statement and everything. He says that after his next match with the LA Galaxy he will go elsewhere to play. This is despite the fact that he still has a year left on his contract. I think he wants to prove to himself that he can still play with the big boys of the world and do so without embarrassing himself. It could also be that Victoria Beckham wants to be somewhere closer to the fashion world. I find it hard to believe that David will not get a whole lot of grief from his kids about pulling them out of school, the warm weather and summers at the beach so he can go play one more season somewhere and not be content with what he has accomplished in his career.

get the current working directory( categories: system )
To get the pathname of the current working directory (like 'pwd' in a unix shell), use the 'cwd()' function from the module 'Cwd'.
use Cwd;
#-- get current directory
my $pwd = cwd();
#-- change dir to /tmp
#-- do something there
#-- go back to original directory
execute commands on remote machines using ssh( categories: system | perl modules )
You can execute commands on remote machines from a Perl script using the Net::SSH::Perl module.
This module allows you to execute a command remotely and receive the STDOUT, STDERR, and exit status of that remote command.
One big advantage of Net::SSH::Perl over other methods is that you can automate the login process, that way you can write fully automated perl scripts, no console interaction is required in order to authenticate in the remote machine.
executing external commands( categories: system )
There are many ways to execute external commands from Perl. The most commons are:
- system function
- exec function
- backticks (``) operator
- open function
All of these methods have different behaviour, so you should choose which one to use depending of your particular need. In brief, these are the recommendations:
|use if ...
|you want to execute a command and don't want to capture its output
|you don't want to return to the calling perl script
|you want to capture the output of the command
|you want to pipe the command (as input or output) to your script
check if a process is running( categories: system )
Send a 0 (zero) signal to the process ID you want to check using the kill function. If the process exists, the function returns true, otherwise it returns false.
#-- check if process 1525 is running
$exists = kill 0, 1525;
print "Process is running\n" if ( $exists );
determine the user and/or group running a script( categories: system | special variables )
Use the following predefined variables to get the user and group information belonging to the current process:
- $< - real user id (uid); unique value
- $> - effective user id (euid); unique value
- $( - real group id (gid); list (separated by spaces) of groups
- $) - effective group id (egid); list (separated by spaces) of groups
- This information applies only to Unix systems
- The values that theses variables hold are integers.
To get the user and group names, use '(getpwuid($<))[0]' (for user information) and 'getgrgid($()' (for groups).

With carbon-fiber components, an aluminum chassis, a hybrid drivetrain, and stunning aluminum body work, the Jaguar C-X16 concept is one of the most dramatic debuts at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show. The official word is that the C-X16 is simply a way for Jaguar to demonstrate its future design and technology plans, but there are strong hints this car may make it to production. "The C-X16 is our compelling vision for a 21st century Jaguar sports car," said Jaguar global brand director Adrian Hallmark. "It delivers an irresistible proposition on both emotional and rational levels."
The Jaguar C-X16 is a traditional two-seat, rear-wheel-drive coupe. The styling could be likened to a scaled-down Jaguar XK, and also shows hints of design from the XF and XJ. A long hood slopes into the car's nose and gaping front grille. Big creases extend along the car's sides and into its muscular rear shoulders — broad, rounded haunches are a Jaguar coupe signature. The roofline slopes fastback-style toward a tail that narrows slightly. Jaguar describes the car's profile as exhibiting a "double coke-bottle" curve and says the tail mimics an airplane wing.
The car is Jaguar's shortest lengthwise since the XK120 of the 1950s, and is about a foot shorter than the current XK range. The C-X16 measures 175 inches long, 81 inches wide, and 51 inches tall — approximately on par with the dimensions of a Nissan 370Z. Curb weight is a claimed 3520 pounds.
The brash 21-inch wheels have carbon-fiber inserts, and the subtle front fender vents conceal a red-painted mesh. The car's door handles are recessed into the bodywork, emerging only when the driver or passenger touch sensors on the doors. The front splitter, side skirts, and rear diffuser are all made from carbon fiber and contribute to better aerodynamic performance.
Beneath the elegant metal is a hybrid powertrain headlined by a 3.0-liter, all-aluminum V-6 engine that is supercharged and direct-injected. A derivative of Jaguar's V-8 engines, the V-6 produces 374 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque. It is coupled to a ZF-sourced eight-speed automatic transmission and has Intelligent Stop/Start to reduce fuel consumption.
The transmission is fitted with an electric motor-generator, making the C-X16 a hybrid. The motor can produce as much as 94 hp and 173 lb-ft, storing electrical power in a 1.6 kWh lithium-ion battery pack mounted behind the car's rear seats. When the battery is fully charged, the driver can depress a "Push to Pass" button (it's red with a lightning-bolt symbol) on the steering wheel to receive the electric motor's full assist for up to ten seconds.
The drivetrain provides commendable acceleration, with 62 mph arriving in a claimed 4.4 seconds and maximum speed limited to 186 mph. Moreover, Jaguar claims the C-X16 would return the equivalent of about 34 mpg. It can drive at up to 50 mph on electrical power alone.
The driver and his or her passenger sit in a cabin filled with Vermillion Red leather, carbon fiber, and machined aluminum trim. Much of the interior design was inspired by that of aircraft, so the shift lever looks like a fighter-jet joystick and many switches are machined toggles. There even is an Intelligent Venting System which rapidly cools or heats the car's interior: a vent, styled after fighter-jet air intakes, rises out of the dashboard to provide a blast of hot or cold air, then recedes back into the dash. Carbon fiber is used for the seat braces, center console, and even some parts of the dashboard.
Jaguar's signature twin-gauge instrument cluster is hidden behind smoked glass so as to be invisible when the car is off. The rotary climate-control knobs have tiny displays which change to reflect varying purposes of the knobs: adjusting the air conditioning temperature, the seat heater, or myriad other choices. Jaguar's touch-screen infotainment system also has been revamped, now featuring physical shortcut buttons to reach certain menu functions.
The C-X16 is certainly an alluring concept car, but will it ever go on sale? The level of detail contained in this concept, and its lack of frivolous details, make it seem feasible that Jaguar could put a car based on the C-X16 into production. Even if a hybrid sports coupe like this never arrives in dealerships, the evolution of Jaguar's styling language and underlying powertrain technology will inspire future products. Based on what we see here, that's good news.

Best Of :: People & Places
In February, burglary suspect Jairo Contreras escaped from a jail run by the self-proclaimed "toughest sheriff" in America, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Contreras must have thought about this one for weeks — he hopped in a laundry cart and got wheeled out. Contreras was just about to be released from the jail on work furlough, but decided to be carted out instead. Arpaio informed the public about this two weeks after the fact, as the Sheriff's Office said it used "cell phone technology" to track down Contreras at his girlfriend's house in Sante Fe. As the U.S. Marshal's Office informed New Times after Contreras' arrest, the MCSO literally had nothing to do with tracking down Contreras, and "cell phone technology" turned out to be as real as unicorns. On the plus side, it was one of the first times that dirty laundry actually left the Sheriff's Office, even though an escaping inmate went along with it.
We'll admit to being influenced by repeated viewings of Wes Anderson's The Fantastic Mr. Fox on Blu-Ray, but still, we swear we've seen the mythic "Tempe Fox" prancing around the Broadmor neighborhood. He's usually spotted just out of the corner of our eye, always leading to the distinct possibility that we're imagining him completely. But forget reason — of all Arizona's fabled creatures (chupacabra, hoof-man, the Bigfoot in the Apache/Sitgreaves Forest), the fox seems the friendliest (not to mention most plausible). His bushy tail catches the eye, but he's quickly gone before you can whip out your camera phone. It sounds crazy, but we've even heard of one intrepid photographer who snapped off a couple shots, only to have the mysterious fox not show up in the pictures at all. A spirit vision, perhaps? The best part of this "legend," of course, is that it's absolutely true. The old neighborhoods near the ASU Tempe campus really have become home in recent years to several foxes. Residents theorize that they feed on roof rats and hang out near the George Ditch off College Avenue and 14th Street. Tempe officials confirm they're there, and no one knows how it happened. We're glad to know the Tempe Fox is real. (And that we're not crazy!)
Know any good jokes about Arizona State University? The folks in Hollywood certainly do, as Tinsel Town has dispensed a few zingers at ASU's expense over the years, all of which have been dead-on and absolutely hilarious. After all, there's plenty about the school to poke fun at, including its oft-ridiculed status as one of America's top party schools and its student body's reputation for preferring slamming beers to hitting the books. For instance, 30 Rock's resident blowhard Jack Donaghy (played by Alec Baldwin) stated in a 2010 episode that "a parent is the one person who thinks their [kids are] smart, even when they go to Arizona State." Zing. Such a diss was child's play to the sort of lampooning that took place last fall when Daniel Tosh filmed an entire episode of his popular Comedy Central show at ASU.It was part of his Tosh.0 College Campus Invasion and featured segments in which the acerbic comedian satirized frat boys and their tendency to hit on drunk girls (at Casey Moore's, no less), encouraged Sun Devil hotties to consume peppers and other spicy substances, and got naked in front of a biology class. Probably the most hilarious (or embarrassing) bit for ASU students was a highlight reel of a "Tweet and Greet," in which an endless stream of student traded insults with the Tosh, who got a choice quip about how "There's a lot of chlamydia here, apparently." At least he didn't refer to the university as "the Harvard of date rape," like those rascals over at The Daily Show.
In 2012, Frank Ocean made waves by coming out on his Tumblr page, gently shattering the glass ceiling in the notoriously homophobic circles of hip-hop and R&B. But he did more than that with the song "Thinking Bout You." He finally let the rest of the country know that it doesn't rain much here. "It usually doesn't rain in Southern California / Much like Arizona / My eyes don't shed tears/ But, boy, they bawl when I'm thinking 'bout you," Ocean sings with achingly gorgeous tone. In all seriousness, Channel Orange, Ocean's full-length, major label debut is one of the year's finest, and "Thinking Bout You," which effortlessly recalls the perfection of Prince and D'Angelo, is one of the record's most affecting moments. With a cracked falsetto, Ocean croons, "Do you think about me still? Or do you not think so far ahead? 'Cause I've been thinking about forever." It's crushing, a moment of pure soul-rending, and even if Arizona feels like a default rhyme, it's nice to be a part of such an astonishing pop song.
Coming up with a decent band name has never required particular brilliance. Just ask the "greats" — The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Smashing Pumpkins. But in the Internet age, there seems to be some sort of "WTF band name" arms race, with bands like fun., oOoOO, Snake! Snake! Snakes!, and Friends all competing to cram in enough punctuation and inscrutable capitalization to make it impossible to find the band in any given search engine. North Dakota — the Tempe-based trio of Michelle Blades, Mo Neuharth, and Emily Hobeheidar — don't have a hard moniker to spell, but it's still tough to find their web presence without a little Facebooking first. The geographical connections to the Midwest aren't made explicit on the trio's debut (there's a song called "Fargo," but also one called "China/Japan") but like their namesake state — so close to Canada that it's almost there — they blur the lines between borders and sounds, toeing the line between righteous indie rock and riot grrl screeds.
The Compound Grill — the music hall/eatery/bar launched by the people behind the annual The McDowell Mountain Music Festival (and the site of the festival since 2010) — may have closed, but there's good news: Its owners plan to continue the festival, which unites indie rockers, local bands, and some of the granola-crunchiest jam bands this side of Bonnaroo for three days of sun and noodling guitar solos. Bully for them — beyond the fact that the festival has hosted bands like Ozomatli, The Flaming Lips, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Fields, and The Carolina Chocolate Drops, it's maintained a spirit of community activism, donating to charities like Ear Candy and institutions like Phoenix Children's Hospital.

Spear wielding chimps go hunting, according to a report in BBC News, 22 February 2007 and Science News 3 March 2007. Researchers in Senegal have observed chimpanzees making spears from tree branches and then using them to hunt monkeys. The chimps broke branches off trees and trimmed the leaves and bark. Some also sharpened one end using their teeth. They then used these to prise small monkeys, such as bush babies, from hollows in trees. The hunting behaviour was mainly seen in females and young chimps, rather than older males. The researchers suggest this is because young chimps spend more time with their mothers and learn from them. The researchers concluded that their findings "support a theory that females may have played a similarly important role in the evolution of tool technology among early humans."
Editorial Comment: The idea that chimps' behaviour explains human behaviour does not even make sense in evolutionary terms. Why should the behaviour of chimps, who lived in a forest, have any influence on supposed human ancestors out evolving on the savannah? The real significance of these observations is that they shows how far from being happy, friendly, almost human vegetarians, chimpanzees are large dangerous animals. These chimps' behaviour is evidence that Bible is right when it says the whole earth has become affected by the conflict and corruption which has passed onto all creation as a result of man's fall into sin and the consequent degeneration of the world that has affected all animals, chimps included. (Romans 8:20)(Ref. apes, diet, behaviour)

To the 23 official languages of the European Union can be added a 24th – Silviospeak.
Yes, Berlusconi is back and once again turning heads and headlines across Europe.
The incoming Italian premier has yet to form a government but has already irked Brussels on two issues: his defence of lossmaking airline Alitalia and the nomination of a Italy's European commissioner.
The billionaire businessman helped wreck talks to sell Alitalia to Air France/KLM by holding out the prospect of an Italian takeover. Now, if local businessmen do not stump up the cash, he could just nationalise it, he said on Tuesday.
He invented a new word – "zignare" – to describe the hectoring of the Commission, which is anxious to ensure that the airline does not receive any more government subsidies, disadvantaging its competitors.
"If they continue hectoring, we could take a decision in which Alitalia could be bought by the state – by the state railway," Berlusconi told a news conference. "It's a threat, not a decision." Some suspect it may also be a joke since the railway lacks the resources to take on the airline.
Jacques Barrot, the EU transport commissioner, has expressed doubts over whether an emergency 300m government loan complied with state aid rules. The Commission on Tuesday said that nationalisation would not pose a problem as long as the state did not pay above market rates for the 50.1 per cent of Alitalia it did not own. Given the lack of private buyers a market rate could be difficult to gauge.
Italy gave Jose Manuel Barroso, Commission president, a further headache on Tuesday when Franco Frattini, its commissioner, asked for his leave of absence to be extended until May 15. He took time off to campaign with Berlusconi and is expected to become Rome's foreign minister.
Barroso last week said that if he resigned Italy would lose the sensitive justice and home affairs post, which temporary fill-in Barrot would retain. The new Italian would take Barrot's transport portfolio. Rocco Buttiglione, Berlusconi's last pick, (cd xref to beeb or our story) had to withdraw in 2004 after offending the European parliament with remarks about homosexuality and the role of women.
Patience with Italy is strained in Brussels. After his time spent with Berlusconi, it might be wise for Frattini not to return.

Former Slayer drummer working with Amen
Listen to Slayer on iHeartRadio | Listen to Amen on iHeartRadio
Ex-Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo is working with another band. He's teamed up with California hardcore punk outfit Amen to record their new album and embark on a supporting tour.
Lombardo says he's proud to be part of what he calls an "amazing production." He explains that his career in thrash metal was created from his love of the punk genre, which he calls "aggressive, honest, and needed."
Amen leader Casey Chaos adds that Lombardo has brought power, aggression, and passion to the group's new music in a way "only he could deliver."
