The moment the word got out this thursday morning that Rwanda's Minister of Gender and Family
Promotion, Aloysia Inyumba, had died at the age of fourty-eight, twitter lit
up. President Paul Kagame wrote
'A.Inyumba will be greatly missed & remembered among others for her
Liberation and Gender credentials/effort(s)! May her Soul rest in Peace'. UNDP
Rwanda director Auke Lootsma wrote:
'Mourning the loss of Hon. Aloisea Inyumba, a dear friend and great
human being who gave all she got to her country. May you rest in peace.' Director of the Gender Team in the Bureau for
Development Policy of the UNDP, Winnie
Byanyima, wife of Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye wrote: 'We
mourn the loss of a dear Sister, one of Rwanda's greatest patriots, Hon Aloisea Inyumba. A senior
member of the RPF, a freedom fighter.' Zainab Salbi, president of Washington-based Women for Women
international, wrote : 'Very sad that minister of gender in #Rwanda,
Aloysia Inyumba, has passed away today, a wonderful woman who did a lot for
Rwandese women.' Swanee Hunt writes: 'So, so sad to lose one of greatest women in our Women Waging Peace Network' Read about Aloisea Inyumba (in her blogpost 'In Memoriam Aloysia Inyumba'). The EU delegation to
Rwanda chimed in: 'The EU Delegation 'offers its condolences to the family of
H.E. Minister Aloisea Inyumba and to the people of Rwanda. Rest in peace!' Cindy McCain, wife of 2008 Republican Presidential
candidate John McCain, wrote : 'It
is rare that someone can change your life in such a profound way that you are
never the same. Senator Aloisea Inyumba from Rwanda did just that to me.' She adds on Facebook:
'The words that came out of Aloisea's mouth changed me forever. In a few soft, dignified sentences she explained why she has forgiven those who hurt her and her family. Why for the good of Rwanda and mankind, forgiveness was the future not hatred. She forgave these god-forsaken criminals for all they had done and was now working along side them to secure a peaceful existence.
Senator Inyumba and I became friends. I really don't have that many good friends. She was one. I brought her to the Republican Convention in Minneapolis (in 2008) to salute her strength, courage and commitment to what is good about mankind.'
Ben Affleck tweets: 'Deep sadness to lose a friend &
hero, the remarkable Aloisea Inyumba, Rwanda's Minister, Gender & Women in

University expert on development living in Rwanda', tweeted : 'Devastated
to hear that the great Minister Aloisea Inyumba - fierce advocate for all good
things -- is dead' and 'Incredible interview with the late Aloisea Inyumba - if
you care about gender and human rights, read this:( Michael Fairbanks Interviews CFO of the Revolution)'.
Twitter messages from Rwandans emphasize
the role she played in the 'invincible' (inkotanyi) revolutionary army (Rwandan
Patriotic Front) that rules Rwanda since 1994. Lucy Mbabazi writes:

@rpfinkotanyi says: 'We join the nation in mourning a great woman who
devoted her life in building the new Rwanda we enjoy today. RPF has lost a

'Inyumba has been a respected senior cadre in the ruling Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF), and is credited for having played a central role in mobilising for the party's support during the 1990-94 liberation struggle.'Rwanda's High Commissioner to South Africa, Vincent Karega, quoted in The New Times, emphasizes this aspect in his eulogy as well:
'Inyumba shall always be remembered in Rwanda and beyond as a true revolutionary and an extraordinary daughter of our continent Africa.'

Pain Management |
Pain in Buttocks and Groin Area11/18/2008 |
I am a 52 year old female. I have been having pain in my right buttock for a couple of months. I also have pain on the same side in the front groin area. The pain is worse at night while trying to sleep but is better when I am up and moving around. Could the pain in the buttock and leg be caused from the same thing?
Yes it is possible that you may have a spine related cause, such as a herniated disc or degeneration, contributing to your pain. Rarely, a muscle deep in the buttock called piriformis may be a source of the pain. An examination by a specialist and imaging studies may be needed.

Booking All Ways
About this project:
This current project is for a customer that wants to start a booking system service located in the middle east (mainly Lebanon but further expanding is in mind). The booking system should focus on services for different restaurants, hotels, hair dressers, bike-rental etc, so it should not be specific for a single type of bookings/reservations.
About our web development company:
We're a web development company specified in creating highly scalable web systems to fit each customers need. We focus in CMS-systems, E-commerce and mobile solutions.
Targeted audience are companies and private sector in the Middle East (mainly Lebanon but in the future also other countries close to Lebanon).
This logo should be created with the target audience in mind. The company name isn't currently decided, but will probably be "Booking All Ways" or "Booking Mix". The logo can be created with the company name written in english and with the latin alphabet.
When logotype is decided, we must have the ability to also write the company name with arabic alphabet (but it's currently not necessary to present a logo example with the company name written with arabic alphabet).
Requirements for creation:
The customer is looking for a logo that's created with the theme of a Peafowl (important!) (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Peafowl for information) in mind.
The main colors to have in mind is "Pistachio-green" and "Light-orange".
No specific requirements regarding the text font used (however have the Middle East target audience in mind).

Eat 5 Servings Of Vegetables To Prevent Lung Cancer
While the most significant factor for Lung Cancer is smoking and other types of tobacco use, what we eat in our daily diet also plays an important role. The American Cancer Society recommends that we Eat 5 Servings Of Vegetables To Prevent Lung Cancer. Vegetables contain compounds called phytochemicals that have anti cancer properties.
Eating at least 5 servings of cruciferous vegetables everyday reduces the risk of developing lung cancer by 25-40%. Cruciferous vegetables include cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, radishes, kohlrabi, etc. These vegetables have excellent cancer fighting properties. Research suggests that these cruciferous vegetables contain a kind of phytochemical known as isothiocyanates, which stimulate our bodies to break down potential carcinogens, which prevent the formation of cancerous cells.
Vegetables prevent lung cancer since they are rich in beta-carotene, a nutrient that has been shown to help lower cancer risks. Vegetables also contain vitamins E, C and A along with folate. Researchers suggest a significant link between smokers and their consumption of vegetables and fruits. Eating 3 servings of fruits and vegetables lowers their lung cancer risk by 30% and every additional serving lowers the risk by 4%.
Including 5 or more servings of vegetables in daily diet is very easy. It requires some thoughtful thinking. Say for e.g. on a regular day, we could start by eating cereals, vegetable juice, and banana. Then for a post breakfast snack we could have small carrots and stir fried bell peppers. Lunch could include pita bread loaded with vegetables and vegetable soup. And with the regular dinner add heated peas and cauliflower as a side dish. And there we are, with at least 5 servings of vegetables to end the day!
Hence, include as many servings of vegetables as possible in your daily diet and lead a healthy cancer free life.

The music falls under the fingers fairly easily and the key signature is not demanding so there are only a few fingering challenges, these being the few short bars in the lower register.

What explains why some NGOs adopt protest tactics while others do not? Hadden argues that the tactical choices of climate change NGOs are shaped by their embeddedness in transnational advocacy networks. Specifically, she finds that NGOs are more likely to adopt protest tactics when adjacent organizations – those with whom they have direct ties – have already done so. Qualitative evidence also shows that NGOs are affected by relational pressure from their peers, altering their perception of costs and benefits. These findings enhance our understanding of how networks influence the behavior of actors and offer insight into the relational processes that generate protest in global politics.

Fired Chris Christie Aide Slams New Report: 'Venomous, Gratuitous and Inappropriate'
(NEW YORK) — A day after the release of a new report that sought to clear New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie of any wrongdoing in the George Washington Bridge lane closure scandal, one of the key figures who the report largely blames for the episode fired back.
Lawyers for Christie's former deputy chief of staff, Bridget Anne Kelly, called the report, done by a firm hired by Christie, incomplete, slammed its tone as "venomous," and its commentary as "sexist."
The attorney, Michael Critchley, wrote on Friday that the only probe into the scandal with credibility is the one ongoing by federal prosecutors and the FBI.
There "appear to be two distinct versions" of what happened at the bridge — Christie's and one told by former Port Authority official David Wildstein, Critchley said. Kelly, he added, could set the record straight, so "a pre-emptive strike to isolate Ms. Kelly and impugn her credibility is not surprising."
But the report lays the blame for the idea, execution and the days' worth of crippling traffic the lane closures caused squarely on Kelly and Wildstein, a Christie appointee to the agency that runs the George Washington Bridge and other transit links between New Jersey and New York.
Kelly and Wildstein had some sort of "ulterior motive" and "animosity" toward the mayor of Fort Lee, and orchestrated as payback the unannounced closing two of the three local access lanes at the Fort Lee entrance to the bridge, according to the document.
Kelly was fired by Christie in January.
"I terminated her employment because she lied to me," Christie said at a Jan. 9 news conference.
Here is the full statement by Kelly's attorney, Michael Critchley, on her behalf:
Having reviewed the report of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LP as well as listened to the comments of Randy Mastro we note that by Mr. Mastro's own admission he did not have access to all information. Of course without reviewing all pertinent evidence any conclusions that are to be drawn are by definition incomplete. The report's venomous, gratuitous and inappropriate sexist remarks concerning Ms. Kelly have no place in what is alleged to be a professional and independent report.
There appear to be two distinct versions of the GWB lane closings. On the one hand, Mr. Wildstein, through his counsel, has taken one clear position. On the other hand, Mr. Mastro has staked a different view. Thus, Ms. Kelly's evidence could be critical to verifying either of the two competing versions of events. A preemptive strike to isolate Ms. Kelly and impugn her credibility is not surprising. Despite Mr. Mastro's editorialized comments to the contrary, Ms. Kelly is not a liar. She is a single mother of four children who was deeply devoted and committed to her job at the Office of the Governor. She worked tirelessly to pursue the goals of the Office during her tenure.
The only credible investigation into the lane closings is being conducted by the U.S. Attorney's office. If Ms. Kelly were provided with the appropriate procedural safeguards she will be fully cooperative and provide truthful and complete answers to any questions asked by the appropriate law enforcement authorities

In Pennsylvania, workers compensation benefits are payable for amputation or permanent loss of function of a body part. The number of weeks payable for each type of loss is set forth in the Workers Compensation Act. For example, the loss of use or amputation of a hand affords payment of 335 weeks of benefits plus a 20 week healing period. The loss of a leg- 410 weeks plus 25 weeks; the loss of a thumb- 100 weeks plus 10 weeks. Generally, specific loss is the sole remedy unless claimant suffers an injury or disability that is separate and distinct from the injury giving rise to the specific loss injury.
If you've suffered a work injury and have questions about your claim, email me at email@example.com or call (570) 347-1011 for a free consultation.

In three weeks' time Ferrari face a meeting of the World Motor Sport Council to examine whether they broke the rules by imposing team orders during the German Grand Prix.
The rule banning team orders was introduced in 2002. We'd seen team orders used many times before then – but not always successfully.
Here are three drivers who refused to let their team mates pass – or overtook them when they weren't supposed to. Food for thought for Felipe Massa?
Carlos Reutemann
1981 Brazilian Grand Prix
Round: 2 of 15
Points before race: Jones – 9 (first), Reutemann – 6 (second)
The scenario at the 1981 Brazilian Grand Prix was simple. The two Williams cars led from the first lap, Carlos Reutemann ahead of Alan Jones.
According to Reutemann's contract, should the pair find themselves in the lead of the race, Reutemann was supposed to let Jones win. The pair had swapped positions the previous year, in which Jones had won the world championship.
These being the days before pit-to-car radio, Reutemann was shown a pit board reading "Jones-Reut" – the 1981 equivalent of a cryptic radio message telling him his team mate was faster.
Neil Oatley was manning the pit board and was told several times by Frank Williams to display the order instructing his drivers to change places.
But Reutemann, approaching his 39th birthday and with his home Grand Prix coming up, decided he had other plans. He'd lost a win to Jones at Long Beach a few weeks earlier and wanted to keep this one for himself.
Peter Windsor, who was working for Williams at the time, shed more light on the situation last year in Maurice Hamilton's book "Williams":
In 1979 Carlos had a long talk with Gilles Villeneuve before Monza. He told Gilles [to] never play around with the world championship. 'If you have a chance to win, take it. You're not going to have many opportunities. Why would you want to give this race to Jody? Don't even think about it.'
But that's what Gilles did. And then he was killed in 1982. It upset Carlos a lot that Gilles gave the 1979 championship to Jody and then lost his life.
At that point, in 1981, Gilles was still in the shit and I think Carlos thought, 'Well, I'm never going to let that happen to me. If I have a chance of winning the world championship, I'm going to take it.' He knew 1981 was his big chance.
Peter Windsor
Reutemann narrowly lost the world championship to Nelson Piquet in the final round of the world championship. The events of the Brazilian Grand Prix turned him and Jones into bitter rivals.
Didier Pironi
1982 San Marino Grand Prix
Round: 4 of 16
Points before race: Pironi 1 (12th), Villeneuve 0
Surely the most notorious example of team orders gone wrong, because of its tragic consequences.
Ferrari team mates Villeneuve and Didier Pironi held first and second positions in the closing stages of the San Marino Grand Prix.
But on the fast Imola circuit with several long, flat-out sections, fuel consumption was a serious concern for the turbo-powered Ferraris. Both cars had been topped-up on the grid and, once their main rivals had retired, the Ferrari drivers were signalled to "slow".
Believing that to be a signal to hold position, Villeneuve duly backed off – only for Pironi to storm past him. Villeneuve responded, matched Pironi's lap times, and took the lead back.
Again he slowed, reducing the pace by around three seconds per laps – and again Pironi blasted by. The exasperated Villeneuve took the place back on the penultimate lap – only for Pironi to pass him for good on the final lap.
Villeneuve was seething – and his mood was not improved when the team initially refused to back up his story. It wasn't until two days later that Ferrari issued a press release confirming Villeneuve's version of events.
It was too late to prevent the mood between the drivers turning toxic. Villeneuve vowed never to speak to Pironi again.
During qualifying for the next race at Zolder Villeneuve, trying to better Pironi's time, hit a slower car and crashed to his death.
Rene Arnoux
1982 French Grand Prix
Round: 11 of 16
Points before race: Prost 19 (fifth), Arnoux 4 (16th)
Ferrari's disastrous experience with team orders did not stop rivals Renault from trying to impose them too. But, in a repeat of what happened with Reutemann the year before, Rene Arnoux was having none of it.
Arnoux had been with the Renault since 1979 but found his place in the team threatened by Alain Prost who joined them in 1981.
By late 1982 he'd been without race win for over two years and when presented with the opportunity to end his losing streak in his home race, he decided to take it.
Leading by over 20 seconds, Arnoux repeatedly ignored instructions from his team to pull over. Afterwards accusations flew in all directions: senior figures in the team claimed Arnoux had volunteered to give up victory to Prost, which Arnoux denied, while Prost believed they had equal status.
There was little surprise when Arnoux left the team at the end of the year.
In an amusing coda to the story, Prost pulled in at a petrol station later that evening, where the attendant mistook him for Arnoux and congratulated him on beating "that little prick" Prost.
Over to you
There are very likely more stories of ignored team orders that never came to light.
And by no means all team instructions come during a race – Lewis Hamilton famously ignored a request to let Fernando Alonso by during qualifying at Hungary in 2007, which had all kinds of ramifications.
What do you think of drivers who disregard team instructions like these? Whether you think they are entirely correct in protecting their own interests or selfishly putting themselves before their team is probably rooted in your philosophy of F1 racing. Share your point of view in the comments.

I'd put the most important points first. I would also set out the letter so that the questions were not lost within the body of the letter. Eg:
I would particularly like to ask about the following:
- What is the rate of pay?
- What qualifications do I need?
- Do I need to wear a funny hat?
- Do you have an environmental sustainability policy?
I look forward to your reply, and your answers to my four questions.
(Dot points aren't necessary; you could put each question in a new paragraph with a line space between them - but set them off in some way)

Mostly it is good when my body tells me what it wants. On Thursday morning I was a little worried though, as I had no appetite whatsoever.
I had a yoghurt for breakfast and set off for work with a few of my favourite staples in my bag – a carrot, some almonds and an apple. But I needed to buy something for lunch. I ended up gazing at the canteen menu for quite a while trying to decide what to have, realising that I wasn't really that hungry. I did make a decision to have a baguette with some ham and cheese and I think eating that little bit more helped me get back my appetite.
This helped inspire me to try something new for dinner – hence the special fried rice recipe, which I got from the BBC Good Food website. It is a sort of paella meets fried rice.
I was partially attracted to the recipe as it used rice and my kids like rice (one in particular). Plus I also liked the sound of it because of all the different coloured vegetables and other goodies (red pepper, peas, spring onions). There were also prawns and chorizo plus I added a rasher of bacon as well. It also called for the addition of the ingredient below – Chinese 5 Spice.
With the shopping trip on Thursday afternoon for the ingredients I didn't have plus with my appetite restored I felt inspired to get organised and make my lunch for Friday on Thursday evening. It was a salad bursting with colour (sweetcorn, lettuce, red pepper, celery, cucumber, tomato). My morning snack consisted of berries as I had found some very juicy raspberries for sale in the supermarket which were absolutely delicious. Recently I have really enjoyed eating the UK grown berries available in the supermarket.

TUPELO – If yesterday means anything to you, then the Tupelo Blue Suede Cruise may be just what you're looking for.
From Thursday to Sunday, hundreds of classic cars and trucks will roll through Lee County's highways and byways.
You'll see old Buicks and Oldsmobiles, along with Trans Ams and Corvettes. Expect Model Ts, and more than a few Chevys.
In short, the Tupelo Blue Suede Cruise is a motorized celebration of days gone by. It's $45 to register a car, but it won't cost a cent to admire a variety of vintage vehicles at the BancorpSouth Arena parking lot.
"I think we'll have the biggest crowd that we've ever had," said Allen McDaniel, cruise director. "We expect to have about 350 to pre-register. If the weather cooperates, we usually double the pre-registration."
This is the eighth Tupelo Blue Suede Cruise, so word's getting out to classic car owners around the Southeast and beyond. Also, Lee County residents are getting more used to the event, McDaniel said.
"People are looking to do things closer to home," he said. "They want to do something without breaking the bank. You can't get better than free."
On screen
At 7 p.m. Thursday, the Tupelo Automobile Museum will host a free screening of an Elvis Presley movie. McDaniel said he's contractually prohibited from advertising the name of the movie, but "it stars Anne Margaret, and what happens there, stays there."
Cars and trucks will start pulling into the BancorpSouth Arena on Friday. The Corvettes will perform '50s and '60s music at 5:30 p.m., then the Paul Rainey Band will perform songs from the '60s and '70s.
A parade will start at the Malco at about 8:30 a.m. Saturday. It'll travel south on Gloster Street, then turn east on Main Street. The parade will end at the arena.
"We had about 300 cars last year," McDaniel said. "It took a while."
From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, the Bud Ward Classic Car Auction will go on inside the arena. The admission price is $5. McDaniel said cars fetched between $12,000 and $50,000 last year.
The Gents will perform classic hits at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, and Gino will deliver Motown and R&B hits at 7 p.m.
Sunday morning will be reserved for gospel music recordings by Elvis.
'Low, low price'
There's a whole bunch of yesterday coming to town, and you're invited to enjoy the chrome-plated nostalgia.
"If you want to have a good, fun-filled weekend with beautiful old cars and some of the friendliest people in the world and great entertainment," McDaniel said, "and you want all of this for the low, low price of free, then we're the place to be."

We wish the Udaan actor many happy returns of the day
Rajat Barmecha received rave reviews for his performance in his very first film, Udaan. He also walked the Cannes red carpet along with his Udaan co-stars, his director Vikramaditya Motwane and producer Anurag Kashyap. A father-son relationship was wonderfully portrayed in the movie, and Barmecha maintains that even off-screen he shared a great chemistry with his reel father Ronit Roy.
After Udaan, Rajat did a special appearance in Shaitan and now he's all set to do a movie along with Vivaan Shah titled Disco Valley. Looks like Barmecha is one helluva lucky chap. He may not be loaded with offers but has been lucky enough to be a part of interesting projects till now. Disco Valley for instance is a film about two friends and a pig on a road trip. Now although that's a flick we are looking forward, we hope Barmecha mesmerizes with many such cool roles in the future. We wish the young lad happy birthday, once again!

Tracy Weekdays 6 - 10pm
Hi, I'm Tracy,
Like most of the Vine DJs, I've been all over, living in South Dakota, Nebraska, Texas and more in my life. I settled in Napa about ten years ago and have managed to plant a few little roots in my time here. I've been working at The Vine for ten years as well and have covered almost every shift, but I like the nights best! The best way to describe working at the Vine is that its like a family. And in my case, that's not just a metaphor. I met my husband here and we work together every day. We also bring our baby, Violet (she's the one in the picture), and sometimes our dog, Cooper, to work with us every day. If you come to my office, you will have to step over board books and dog beds! When we're not at work, we like to go for long walks, watch movies and play in the garden. I've also got a bit of an obsession with entertainment gossip, which tends to pop up a lot in my show! But mostly, I just like playing Sauvignon Rock!

I've been noticing a trend over the past few years. Well, make that two trends. The first one is the health food craze that has been gaining momentum throughout the majority of my lifetime and may be peaking with the indication that kale dried in an oven is an acceptable replacement for chips. This is not true in my opinion, if only because every time I have tried to make kale chips in my own oven, I have managed to produce something so foul I practically need a HAZMAT suit to dispose of them. I don't really understand my problem, the recipe is straight forward enough. Chop kale, toss with olive oil, salt and pepper and bake until browned. How hard is that? But the end result has been awful every time, which gives me the sneaking suspicion that kale is really just awful and I am not that terrible of a cook. If anyone can prove me wrong on either front, please let me know. And please don't get me started on my adventures with quinoa, its does not have a happy ending.
But this post isn't about eating healthy, it actually the exact opposite. See, the other trend I've been noticing is the extreme food trend. Or trying to make an already unhealthy item as unhealthy as possible. It started with fried Twinkies and has been getting bigger (and more artery clogging) ever since.
The most recent addition to this trend comes from those geniuses over at Jack In The Box. Its called the
Late Night Munchie Menu
and it sounds amazing in the worst possible way. Every meal comes with two tacos (which my husband calls shi-tacos for obvious reasons, yet he loves them) and halfsie fries, which are half curly fries and half regular fries. Already genius. I love me some curly fries. I'm a bit of a curly fry connoisseur. I can tell you who has the best (Arby's) and the worst (anything frozen) and rank everything in between. Jack In The Box comes in second on the curly fry hierarchy. But sometimes, I want a regular fry too. Whichever I order, I pretty much want the other, so this halfsie thing is a brilliant idea.
But the entrees, oh the entrees. They are truly a inspired. There's a Stacked Grilled Cheese Burger that has a grilled cheese sandwich in the bun. A Brunch Burger that not only has a burger and bacon, but also a fried egg and hash brown. The Loaded Nuggets, which take already fried chicken and douses them in two kinds of cheese and bacon. And the Exploding Cheesy Chicken, which is also covered in cheese, but has the distinction of having mozzarella sticks in between the layers of cheesy chicken.
Hungry yet? Feel the need to go for a jog after reading those descriptions? I honestly can't decide which way to feel about these meal options. The rational, logical side of me is thinking "Wow, that's a lot of fat and cholesterol and salt and everything bad for me with nary a vegetable in sight," While the college student in me is thinking "Holy crap I must eat all of that now and potatoes are a vegetable so it totally counts as healthy right?" So which side do I indulge?
Well, Jack In The Box has pretty much made that decision for me. See, the Late Night Munchie Meal is just that, a meal you can only get late at night. Obviously geared towards college kids and those that can't quite manage to squash their inner college student, you can only get the meals between 9 pm and 5:30 am. This is not a convenient time period for me. Have I mentioned I have a toddler (What? I mention it in every post? How lame!)? I do. And, given my on air schedule (weeknights 6-10 pm, Sundays 3-7 pm), once I am off work, all I want to do is go home and relax for an hour before heading to bed early(ish) so I can face another day of frantic toddler chasing. I am not heading to Jack In The Box on my way home from work. For one thing, I'm tired and for another, its not on my way home. And my poor hubs is just as tired as I am, so I don't have the heart to send him out to get food that will ultimately make us feel like crap. I suppose we could probably managed to check it out on the weekend, but do I want to spend part of my weekend recovering from a Late Night Munchie Meal? Ugh. Thanks Jack In The Box, now you have made me feel old. Where's that kale?
What do you think? Will you try a Late Night Munchie Meal? Which one? And can I have your fries? And maybe a bite? Or two?

This report describes the typical weather at the Tromsø Airport (Tromsø, Norway) weather station over the course of an average December. It is based on the historical records from 1974 to 2012. Earlier records are either unavailable or unreliable.
Tromsø has a humid subarctic continental climate with cool summers and no dry season. The area within 25 mi of this station is covered by tundra (47%), oceans and seas (36%), and forests (14%).
The month of December is characterized by gradually falling daily high temperatures, with daily highs ranging from 34°F to 30°F over the course of the month, exceeding 41°F or dropping below 19°F only one day in ten.
Over the course of December, the length of the day is essentially constant.
Due to its extreme latitude, Tromsø experiences polar night during winter. During this period of time, the Sun remains continuously below the horizon for a prolonged period of time.
This station is in polar night during all of December, meaning the Sun is continuously below the horizon.
Daylight savings time is observed in 2012 but it neither starts nor ends in December, so the entire month is in standard time.
The median cloud cover is 81% (mostly cloudy) and does not vary substantially over the course of the month.
On December 16, a representative day, the sky is clear or mostly clear 20% of the time, partly cloudy 20% of the time, and mostly cloudy or overcast 44% of the time.
The average probability that some form of precipitation will be observed in a given day is 73%, with little variation over the course of the month.
Throughout December, the most common forms of precipitation are moderate snow, light snow, and moderate rain.
Moderate snow is the most severe precipitation observed during 63% of those days with precipitation. It is most likely around December 31, when it is observed during 48% of all days.
Light snow is the most severe precipitation observed during 18% of those days with precipitation. It is most likely around December 26, when it is observed during 14% of all days.
Moderate rain is the most severe precipitation observed during 11% of those days with precipitation. It is most likely around December 1, when it is observed during 11% of all days.
The likelihood of snow falling is highest around December 30, occurring in 64% of days.
Accumulation at this location in December is extremely unlikely. The chances of there being snow on the ground are highest around December 31, occurring 4% of the time.
The snow is typically at its deepest on December 14, with a median depth of 9.6"; the depth exceeds 10.6" only one year out of ten.
The relative humidity typically ranges from 64% (mildly humid) to 92% (very humid) over the course of a typical December, rarely dropping below 49% (comfortable) and reaching as high as 100% (very humid).
The air is driest around December 25, at which time the relative humidity drops below 73% (humid) three days out of four; it is most humid around December 11, rising above 89% (very humid) three days out of four.
Dew point is often a better measure of how comfortable a person will find the weather than relative humidity because it more directly relates to whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid.
Over the course of a typical December, the dew point typically varies from 15°F (dry) to 28°F (dry) and is rarely below 4°F (dry) or above 36°F (dry).
Over the course of December typical wind speeds vary from 1 mph to 19 mph (light air to fresh breeze), rarely exceeding 31 mph (high wind).
The highest average wind speed of 11 mph (gentle breeze) occurs around December 24, at which time the average daily maximum wind speed is 19 mph (fresh breeze).
The lowest average wind speed of 10 mph (gentle breeze) occurs around December 1, at which time the average daily maximum wind speed is 19 mph (fresh breeze).

New environmental water rules enforced by citizen snitch program
Paul Joseph Watson
San Diegans could face 6 years in prison and fines of $100,000 dollars a day for washing their car in the driveway or failing to pick up dog poop under new EPA-mandated environmental regulations related to water quality.
Although residents of the city are forced to drink toxic waste in their water supply in the form of sodium fluoride, measures imposed as a consequence of the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Water Act would turn the most mundane of activities into a criminal offense.
"California's latest experiment in faith-based policymaking is being unleashed today on the San Diego public, as regional water-quality officials begin hearings on new regulations that seem crafted to turn most owners of a car, house or dog into criminals within a decade or so. We wish we were exaggerating," reports the North County Times.
"Under the draft rules, ordinary homeowners may face six years in prison and fines of $100,000 a day if they are deemed serial offenders of such new crimes as allowing sprinklers to hit the pavement, washing a car in the driveway, or, conceivably, failing to pick up dog poop promptly from their own backyards, let alone the sidewalk."
The regulations will be enforced with the aid of a 24-hour telephone snitch line which residents of San Diego, south Orange and southwest Riverside counties can use to report on their neighbors for violating the new code.
The new rules could even force firefighters to collect the water they use to douse burning buildings.
The regulations are being passed under the justification of minimizing the bacteria Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) that runs into rivers and streams.
The editorial board of the North County Times warns that the rules are "preposterous" and will "sap billions of dollars from the local economy."
"In hundreds of pages, the new regulations set targets that measure bacteria from animal waste during dry periods at local beaches, even as they note that wide variations in bacteria occur naturally in the environment. And we could find no evidence from these officials that severe cuts in stormwater runoff will cause improvements in human or wildlife health. Indeed, nowhere do they bother to say why today's levels are considered bad for us," writes the newspaper.
Ironically, while San Diegans could be turned into criminals for failing to uphold dubious water quality standards, they are simultaneously being forced to consume drinking water contaminated with a known toxic waste – sodium fluoride.
Almost 60 years after it was barred from public pumps and pipes, the city utilities department started fluoridating the water supply in San Diego again last year.
As numerous studies and expert testimony affirm, sodium fluoride is a toxic waste from the phosphate industry and has been linked with innumerable debilitating and in some cases terminal health problems such as disorders affecting teeth, bones, the brain and the thyroid gland, as well as lowering IQ.
Environmentalists and EPA regulators don't appear to be too concerned about a product which has on its packaging a skull and crossbones being artificially added to the water supply, but the runoff from a car wash or a piece of dog poop apparently poses a big enough threat to turn residents into criminals for engaging in activity as mundane as cleaning their vehicle.
Stephanie Gaines, land use and environmental planner for the county's Department of Public Works, pointed out that "The regulations stem from the federal Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Water Act and are passed down to the state, regional, and local levels."
Planning group member Chad Anderson said that the regulations appeared to "Overlap with statements from Agenda 21, the comprehensive global plan for sustainable development that was created at a United Nation's Earth Summit in 1992. It was signed by more than 178 countries, including the United States, and opponents say it targets private property."
As we have previously highlighted, the UN's Agenda 21, which is being implemented across the United States in a number of different guises, demands that member nations adopt "sustainable development" policies that are little more than a disguise for the reintroduction of neo-feudalism and only serve to reduce living standards and quality of life.
The regulations about to be foisted upon San Diegans are merely a taste of the kind of big government tyranny and control freak micromanagement we can expect to see unleashed against Americans under the guise of environmentalism when real environmental issues like toxic waste being added to the water supply are completely ignored.

New York - Tuesday, October 27th , 2009
Mr. Chairman,
On behalf of the Vietnamese Delegation, may I congratulate you and other members of the bureau on your election to the chairmanship of the Fourth Committee of the 64th Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations. We wish to assure you of our full cooperation and support.
My Delegation wishes to associate itself with the statement made by the distinguished representative of Morocco on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement and the statement made by the distinguished representative of Thailand on behalf of the Association of the South East Asian Nations.
Today, with more than 117,000 personnel serving in 17 peacekeeping operations across five continents, peacekeeping operations have shouldered a unique spectrum of multi-faceted mandates that extend far beyond the traditional tasks and evolved to meet new challenges and political realities. The challenges that peacekeepers face today are unprecedented in scale, complexity, and risk level. Their engagement includes supporting political dialogue between parties, assisting national Governments to broaden State authority, advising on security sector reforms, supporting disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programmes and protecting civilians. The growing multi-dimensionality and complexity of protracted conflicts has also brought about an abrupt surge in peacekeeping demand in recent years and overstretched the capacity of the Organization.
The changing context and evolving nature of peacekeeping operations have attested the durability of political commitment of national stakeholders, the availability of support of the international community and the efficiency of coordination among the agencies of the United Nations. The intersection between peacekeeping and conflict prevention and resolution, preventive diplomacy, peacemaking and peacebuilding remains pertinent and critical for the smooth transition of war-ravaged countries to lasting peace, security and development.
It is our conviction that the establishment and deployment of peacekeeping missions should strictly observe the purposes and principles enshrined in the United Nations Charter, and those that have evolved to govern peacekeeping as its basic principles, namely the consent of the concerned parties, the non-use of force except in self-defense and impartiality. In a broader context, the success, credibility and effectiveness of the United Nations peacekeeping operations continues to rest upon the respect for the fundamental principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of all States and non-intervention into matters that are essentially within their domestic jurisdiction.
The Vietnamese Delegation reaffirms its strong support for the efforts and the initiatives to make peacekeeping operations more effective and more efficient. We commend the Secretariat for the introduction of the "New Horizon Project" Non-Paper. Ten years after the introduction of the Brahimi Report on the United Nations peacekeeping operations, the Non-Paper is a good basis for member states to engage in in-depth debates on ways to further improve the efficacy and effectiveness of this important instrument for the maintenance of world peace and security
On this occassion, we wish to express our support for the efforts and initiatives of the Departments of Peacekeeping Operations and Field Support to promote organizational reforms within their organizations, including developing a standing police capacity in a strengthened Police Division, increasing capacity in the Office of Rule of Law and Security Institutions and in the Office of Military Affairs in the Department of Peacekeeping Operations. In undertaking these reforms, it is crucial to preserve the unity of command in peacekeeping missions at all levels as well as the coherence in policy and strategy.
We support the Secretary General's view as outlined in his Report on the Work of the United Nations at this Session that the United Nations needs a renewed global partnership with Member States and its partners within and outside the United Nations system to ensure that requests for United Nations peacekeeping are accompanied by active political strategies and political support as well as adequate resources to implement mandates.
Once an operation is established, sustained political and financial supports from member states are essential. In a nutshell, for the peacekeeping operations to succeed, it imperative that they are given achievable and clear mandates and provided with adequate financial and human resources.
My delegation shares the concerns expressed over the increasing threat to the security and safety of the United Nations peacekeepers serving in difficult and often hostile environments. We condemn the killing, targeted attacks and all acts of violence carried out against the United Nations peacekeepers and call for measures to enhance their security and safety.
To conclude, may I reiterate our conviction that the member states should work much harder together to make a greater use of peacekeeping and thus making further contributions to the cause of international peace and security.
I thank you, Mr. Chairman.

When it comes to drunks being in the house we work very hard to keep all of them out. This is also is our "house", we live in it also.
Another anti-drunky reason here is the fact that most tours require 90 minutes from start to finish.
90 minutes is WAY TOO long of a time to have to babysit drunks.
If their bartender doesn't want to see them, they why should I?

Firefly Pose: Step-by-Step Instructions
Squat with your feet a little less than shoulder distance apart. Tilt your pelvis forward and bring your trunk between your legs. Keeping your trunk low, straighten your legs enough to lift your pelvis to about knee height.
See also Firefly Pose Prep
Bring your left upper arm and shoulder as far as possible underneath the back of your left thigh just above the knee and place your left hand on the floor at the outside edge of your foot, fingers pointing forward. Repeat these actions on the other side.
More arm balance poses here
Lift yourself off the floor by carefully shifting your center of gravity. Press your hands into the floor and slowly begin to rock your weight back, off your feet and onto your hands. Keep your inner thighs as high on your arms as possible.

With an inhalation, stretch your legs out to the sides as straight as you can, keeping your pelvis high to make your legs parallel to the floor.
See also Pose of the Month: Firefly Pose
Press through the bases of your big toes but pull your toes back toward your torso and spread them apart. The inner edges of your feet should be angled slightly forward, the outer edges slightly back.
See also Shine as Bright as Firefly
Straighten your arms as much as possible. Hollow your chest as you widen your shoulder blades as much as possible; this will round your upper back, which will lift your torso higher.
Without tensing your neck, lift your head and gaze forward. Breathe slowly and hold the pose for 15 seconds or longer, then release your feet to the floor with an exhale.

In his last speech to the United States Senate, future short-lived President of the Confederate States of America Jefferson Davis, D-Miss., held up the honor of secession. "This is done, not in hostility to others; not to injure any section of the country, not even for our own pecuniary benefit," Davis declared in January 1861, "but from the high and solemn motive of defending and protecting the rights we inherited, and which it is our duty to transmit unshorn to our children."
Nearly a dozen counties in northeastern Colorado are now ready to take on that high and solemn motive.
On Monday, the city commissioners of Colorado's Weld and Phillips counties voted to approve a ballot measure asking voters if they want to secede from Colorado and create a 51st state. The idea to split from Colorado, which began to take root at a June conference, could include several other counties in the north of the state. Three other counties have already approved the ballot question, and three more will vote on the issue this week.
After the vote, Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway quoted Mahatma Gandhi: "First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight for you, and then you win." Commission Chairman Bill Garcia, echoed a more recent leader before voting: "Si se puede—yes, we can." The Weld commissioners were unanimous in their decision to approve the ballot measure.
But why secede? Sean Conway got at this in a June interview on Devil's Advocate with Jon Caldara on Colorado Public Television:
In the interview, Conway cited a general lack of support from the "extremely tone-deaf" state government in Denver, and the stark differences between the more agricultural northeastern Colorado and the "urban electorate." But the biggest issue, for Conway at least, is energy:
The oil and gas thing, is what really, I think, has been setting us off. Although the governor has done some good things in terms of oil and gas, he hasn't, I think, ceded to the environmental extremists out there … our very way of life is under attack.
The latest warning call is a possible fracking ban that has made it onto several ballots this year in the state. But those bans haven't really gotten support from the state government, with the state joining a suit against a ban that's already in effect in July and Gov. John Hickenlooper (D) saying in February, "We've demonstrated again and again [that hydraulic fracturing] can be done safely," and that "we have no choice" but to sue any city and county that passes a ban." But the governor has been open to at least some compromise since then.
There's also, of course, some political issue here. Weld and Phillips counties voted for Mitt Romney in 2012 by a healthy margin, while the state went for Obama 51 percent to 46 percent. The three counties that have already approved the secession ballot measure and the three that will vote on it this week were also Romney territory.
"I know initially you look at this and you say, 'Secession? Creating your own new state? That kind of tends to be a little bit out there,'"Conway said. But he has some ideas for how to get support, particularly from Congress, which would have to sign off on a new state.
His big idea? Puerto Rico. If Puerto Rico (or, Washington D.C.) gets admitted as a new state, that's a likely boost for Democrats. "You can almost make the argument that you're allowing two states in so you don't disrupt the percentages in terms of the United States Senate or House." So, really, forget 51 states. Think 52.

We're trying to run vsftpd to do regular ftp and ftps but our firewall (not iptables) keeps blocking the connects not matter what rules we apply. The Firewall guy wants to split it up with regulare ftp on port 21 and ftps on port 21000 so that we can use 2 different sets of rules. The only way I can think of doing this is to setup 2 different vsftpd configs and services. Any suggestions?
You can run FTP (SSL and TLS) traffic over the same port (21) .. If you use Explicit SSL, the connection will be unencrypted until you call "AUTH SSL" or "AUTH TLS" and then starts doing the certificate negotiation etc. Implicit SSL gives you the option to bind secure connections on a different port (default 990)
I currently have it configured that way. But our External Firewall can't handle it. That's why we're wanting to separate it so that we can apply different rules on the different ports.
Then you have to run multiple vsftpd instances, and use different config files for it specifying another port. though i still think it's strange that your firewall guy can't get this working. What type of firewall are you running?
I think its a Checkpoint. I agree about the firewall but we're up against a deadline and I don't have much recourse on calling out the firewall guy. You wouldn't happen to know of a good howto on copying and modifying the service scripts to run that second config?
not from the top of my head, i found a howto for redhat though http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/...eference_Guide/s2-ftp-vsftpd-start-multi.html
Just to make sure I'm not crazy. I can run 2 instances of vsftpd on the same ip listening on different ports correct?

-Client clearing on SwapClear up by 175% in 2012 to over USD 700 billion total notional
LCH.Clearnet Limited's (LCH.Clearnet) leading interest rate swap clearing service, SwapClear, announced buy-side cleared volumes up by 175% y/y to April 2012. A marked acceleration in cleared volumes over the last two months has driven total end-user client notional cleared on SwapClear to USD 712 billion. The movement towards central clearing of interest rate swaps comes ahead of the regulatory mandate, expected in 2012 in the U.S., and soon after in Europe. As demand for clearing increases, buy-side firms are currently clearing across eight of the 17 currencies available and have already started to backload existing portfolios.
"The pipeline of buy-side clients looking to use SwapClear has grown considerably in the last two months, a trend which shows no signs of slowing. While regulation is a catalyst, it's the inherent benefits of central clearing which are driving this market evolution," said Daniel Maguire, head of SwapClear U.S."
"These numbers confirm the trend towards voluntary client clearing in both the U.S. and Europe," said Ray Kahn, head of OTC derivatives clearing at Barclays. "This early clearing activity is important to ensure operational and infrastructural readiness ahead of the regulatory mandates."
SwapClear was launched in 1999 by LCH.Clearnet Limited, a CFTC-regulated derivatives clearing organization since 2001. The one and a half million trades in SwapClear have a total notional value of more than USD 300 trillion. SwapClear clears more than fifty percent of interest rate swaps. Its membership currently stands at 64.
