The battle for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination became more complicated and unpredictable this week, when retired General Wesley Clark became the 10th candidate to join the race.
From George Washington to Ulysses Grant to Dwight Eisenhower, Americans have shown that they are comfortable with the idea of turning generals into presidents. In fact, 12 of the 42 men who became president achieved the rank of general prior to their election.
And now, retired General Wesley Clark is seeking the job. First in his class at the U.S. military academy at West Point, General Clark came to prominence when he led the 1999 campaign in Kosovo as NATO's supreme commander.
He now intends to capitalize on his impressive military resume, pledging to restore lost jobs at home and improve the U.S. image abroad.
"These are historic times, and we are going to run a campaign that is worthy of the historic times in which we live," he said. "We are going to run a campaign that will move this country forward, not back. And we are going to talk straight to the American people, because in times of great historic challenges, the American people deserve to hear truth and hear it in plain and simple language."
The other nine Democrats running for president, as well as scores of political experts and strategists, are trying to assess the impact of the Clark candidacy.
"Well, he scrambles the race because of all the attention he has received and will receive," said Washington-based political analyst Stuart Rothenberg. "He is a new face, and he has got an interesting profile. It is far from clear whether he will ultimately turn out to be a top-tier contender or just a quirky, interesting guy, who, once he is on the campaign trail, will prove that he is not up to the task. So, I think we will just have to wait and see."
Clark supporters see him as attractive, articulate and the Democrat best positioned to challenge President Bush on his handling of national security and foreign policy issues.
But the general has his detractors, as well. They say his intense personality led to clashes during the Clinton administration with fellow military officers and civilian defense officials who saw him as arrogant, and led eventually to his being forced out of his NATO command.
General Clark's late entry into the race presents him with some daunting political challenges. He must raise a lot of money in a short amount of time and organize campaign staffs in the early contest states of Iowa and New Hampshire, something his rivals have been doing for months.
General Clark has been critical of the president's military strategy on Iraq and how the administration has handled the aftermath of the war, rhetoric that pleases partisan Democrats upset with Mr. Bush.
But analyst Stuart Rothenberg says General Clark could have a difficult time competing for Democratic votes with the man who has climbed to the top of the field so far, former Vermont Governor Howard Dean.
"Even though he is a political outsider, and that is actually an asset at the moment, there is another political outsider already in the race, Howard Dean, a pre-existing critic of Iraq," he said. And so, Wesley Clark has somehow got to get around Howard Dean."
Another candidate who could be hurt by General Clark's entry into the race is Massachusetts Senator John Kerry. He has made his military service in Vietnam a centerpiece of his campaign, something that until now, had distinguished him from the rest of the Democratic field.
But General Clark is also a decorated Vietnam War veteran, and analyst Stuart Rothenberg says that could cut into some of the support for Senator Kerry.
"One of the core elements of Kerry's message is that he is the only person with military experience," he said. "He is courageous, he is a hero. Suddenly, Wesley Clark undercuts all of that."
Democrats believe the weak U.S. economy and continuing problems in Iraq have made President Bush more vulnerable in recent weeks. American University presidential historian Allan Lichtman told VOA television, that will add intensity to the battle for the Democratic nomination.
"George Bush's approval rating among the American people is now down to 52 percent, right where it stood before 9-11. His re-election numbers, the percent who want to see him reelected, are below 50 percent," he said.
But another recent poll indicated that President Bush would easily defeat any of his Democratic rivals next year, suggesting that the president retains a reservoir of support from his handling of the 2001 terrorist attacks and the resulting war on terrorism.
Analyst Stuart Rothenberg says the 2004 race will largely be shaped by how the public views the state of the economy and Iraq six-to-eight months from now.
"Take a look at the economy then, take a look at the situation in Iraq," he said. "Have we been able to bring in and internationalize the post-war environment there by bringing in other countries? Then the president will look pretty good. But if the economy is bad, and the war in Iraq is going poorly, then George W. Bush will be very, very vulnerable."
Even a late starter like Wesley Clark still has time to rally supporters to his campaign. The Democrats begin the actual business of picking their nominee in mid-January with the Iowa caucuses, followed a week later by the New Hampshire primary.

Thor 2 Dark World news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 6

Re: Thor 2 Dark World news, speculation and pictures possible Spoilers - Part 6
Hokay, some of these did not come out as well as I had hoped!
I found myself up in London and stuck in traffic this morning, spur of the moment thought was to swing by Greenwich and see what's going on. I've done this a few times before and seen the set pieces for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Les Miserables and when they aren't shooting the University campus is open again to the general public and you can wander in and around the set.
So I ambled along the River Thames (past the Cutty Sark, if you are ever in London its well worth a visit) towards the Uni. I could see cranes, trailers, lots of security guys in his vis jackets and way too many tourists. Getting further in and over on the right I see the red double decker bus! I've seen pictures of its right side but not the other so I walked around to see if there was a different fake-film ad on that side
Sadly not, same thing over there but still pretty cool to see anyway. Behind the bus were the cast trailers and what looked like catering trucks. I decided to walk around the outside of the buildings by the main road and saw that they had covered a huge section of railings in the blue material ready for some CGI stuff (I tried waiting for those people to leave but there were taking FOREVER)
Swinging my attention round towards the middle area (where Thor was smashing dark elves on Friday) and there are some scorch marks and parallel scars cut into the turf. This one didn't come out so well but if you can see the roped off bit in the middle, its in there.
And another look back at the blue-screen bits, behind these railings is the Maritime Museum and behind that is Greenwich Park.
There wasn't much more to see around the outside of the buildings so I walked through the middle towards the action. They were building some sets pieces and now the Uni has its own fake underground station complete with Evening Standard newspaper seller.
Then on to the main set. Lots of guys were moving things around ready for tomorrow and it was pretty funny to see them lugging around these huge blocks that were supposed to represent the pillar wrapped in blue
Half a cab! In the background, is that your fake sun?

Julius Caesar Act II, Scene IV
Meanwhile, Portia waits nervously at home, wondering when Marcus Brutus will return. She speaks with Lucius, her husband's trusted servant, and asks him if he hears strange sounds coming from the Senate. He does not, although Portia continues to worry, as if aware of what is about to happen. The soothsayer passes by the front of the house, and Portia questions him as well on the status of the proceedings. The soothsayer simply comments that he is hoping to catch Caesar and warn him again about the ides of March.

Internal Health Plus Capsules 30s Aids in the upkeep of a traditional wholesome gastrointestinal system and digestive function. IVRRx manages the pharmacy's incoming calls, enhancing the pharmacy workflow and enabling pharmacists and staff to spend extra time serving their patients. Using IVRRx, sufferers can order prescription refills, get primary pharmacy information or communicate to the pharmacy workers for private assistance. Assignments are accepted by pharmacy or affected person and fee is remitted to pharmacy, corporate office, or patient.
You may most likely predict what this entails… There could also be two professors interviewing lonely ole you or a professor and a present pharmacy pupil. Aside from working within the pharmacy he is also taking below graduate courses again on-line to boost his college GPA and getting A's. One of the best advice I can think of is to immediately enroll in a group school and let the admissions department know that you finally want to go to pharmacy faculty.
Don't let anybody push you into it. Pharmacy experience is also helpful for those who can manage the college and work collectively. Any recommendation on how to achieve success in Pharmacy college, find out how to get hold of pharmacy experience, and some other related advice would be enormously appreciated. Lamenting the incessant conflicts besetting the health care sector, George said the time had come for well being practitioners to stop preventing one another and work in the perfect curiosity of the affected person.
The position of coordinator/technician is important to the functions of Oncology retail pharmacy companies because it develops and maintains working relationships with Oncology patients and the Oncology division who rely on the providers offered. At Anonymous 2.01pm, they don't sell faux medicine besides you don't know which pharmacy you acquire the medication from…..yeye…mtchewww.

See Woody Allen Confronted With His Crimes in an Exclusive Fading Gigolo Clip
He plays an unlikely pimp in the new film by John Turturro.
Woody Allen, pimp? That's the unlikely (yet age-old) profession Allen adopts in the new comedy Fading Gigolo, where Allen plays a cash-strapped bookseller who begins to tout his friend (John Turturro, who also wrote and directed) as a for-pay Lothario. The gigolo gig comes easily for the sensitive Turturro at first — not least because his initial clients are screen sex bombs like Sharon Stone and Sofia Vergara — but things become trickier when he attends to a Brooklyn widow (Vanessa Paradis) who's never truly experienced intimacy with a man. The woman comes alive under Turturro's tutelage, which so enrages her admirer, an Orthodox Jewish officer played by Liev Schreiber, that the officer yanks Allen off the street to answer for his sexual match-making in front of a Hasidic tribunal. You'll see how that starts to play out in this exclusive clip from the movie (out April 18), where Allen attempts to flee from his Orthodox cop pursuers and ... well, it doesn't exactly turn into a high-speed chase.

Social Media in Space: How @Cmdr_Hadfield Got Over 700k Followers in 2 Months
The following post was written by HootSource Guest Contributor Evan Hadfield. Evan is the son of Canadian Austronaut Chris Hadfield, Commander of the International Space Station. Evan serves as de facto social media manager on behalf of his father, who has become a social media heavyweight in a very short time. What follows is the story of how the family has worked in tandem to bring the eye-opening, informative and sometimes funny tweets pictures and videos, from orbit to the ever-growing list of fans and followers on earth.
Update: Commander Hadfield has now returned to planet Earth and is closing in on 1,000,000 followers.
On December 16th, my father (@Cmdr_Hadfield) was pleased to know that fifteen thousand people would be logging on to Twitter to find out about his space launch in the coming days. They had been a hard-won group of followers, and he was proud to have them.
At the behest of his family, over the previous two years he had learned to integrate posting to Twitter into his daily life, speaking with fans of the space industry, showing behind-the-scenes pictures of Expedition training and getting a general feel for what makes the community tick. It had changed from something that he had originally viewed with circumspection into a habit he had come to enjoy.
Commander Chris Hadfield aboard the ISS chats with another well-known space traveller of sorts.
By January, the fans had tripled. Already I had been working somewhat in the sidelines, but it became clear that with a more dedicated focus there was potential to gain interest in spaceflight in a way unheard of in the preceding decades. As his son, and not working for any space agency, I was in the unique position to be able to be both far enough away from the mission to help see from an outsiders point of view, while simultaneously close enough to him to be able to connect directly and help make decisions on what should come next.
Since then, I've been working around 14-16 hours per day, 7 days a week, to try and make sure that the world sees what he sees. We have expanded his message to Facebook, Google+, Pinterest and Tumblr. We've tried to expand into all forms of media, with a YouTube account for video and Soundcloud for audio. We have spread the word about space travel as much as could be done, and are grateful for every new fan who follows. It is always a pleasure to see the public taking interest in manned space exploration, and I know that Dad appreciates it immensely.

One of the greatest tools I've had in trying to keep on top of all of the responses is HootSuite. It allows me to simultaneously check responses to Dad while updating answers on my account. It means I can more easily access questions, requests and responses without logging in and out constantly. Ever since I started using it a few months ago, I've been very happy to have it. While I expect there are a great deal more features available than the ones I use, it has provided me with a lot of time-saving capacities I would be at a loss without. Thanks to the HootSuite team for making a complicated job that much easier. (HS note: You're very welcome!)
Today, only a few months into the mission, Dad has over 700k fans across five social networks, including 445k on Twitter alone. Looking back to December, it almost seems unreal to imagine that things could be where they are now. But I'm proud of how great the response has been, and hope that we can live up to the trust the public has put in our efforts, providing a constant stream of fun and interesting material for them to enjoy.
Want to connect on social media with the Commander while he's still miles above the earth's surface? Check him out on Twitter, Facebook or Tumblr.

Commissioners proclaim 'Mentor Parent Program Week' in county
BROOKVILLE — Kim Rhodes, executive director for the Mentor Parent Program said bullying has become an "epidemic."
To address the need she has seen first-hand in the community, her program will host a bullying walkathon this year that will take place in Jefferson County.
"Bullying is a big thing across the board and across the world," Rhodes said.
The Mentor Parent Program is a community-based parent project created in 1989 by parents of children with special needs to support, assist and provide expertise to parents in rural northwest Pennsylvania.
Based out of Clarion, the program covers 13 counties and 17 school districts in rural Pennsylvania.
Tuesday, the Jefferson County Commissioners proclaimed the week of March 19-23 as Mentor Parent Program Week.
"Again, the program is honored to have another proclamation week in the county," Rhodes said. "We are looking forward to doing some good fund-raisers. We're busy and working diligently with schools and the programs in the county."
According to Rhodes, the Mentor Parent Program is in the early stages of planning a bullying walkathon during the anti-bullying awareness month, which is recognized nationally in October.
During her career with the Mentor Parent Program, Rhodes has witnessed the difficulty of addressing bullying problems in the program's rural 13-county region.
"There is zero-tolerance for bullying in schools, which I agree with," Rhodes said. "But I think districts need to look at each individual situation differently, and not necessarily as a whole."
Rhodes hopes the walkathon serves as a prevention against bullying.
She and her staff are also going to receive training in bullying prevention so that they will be able to go into school districts for programming opportunities.
In addition to the upcoming walkathon, the Mentor Parent Program will be participating in the Autism Awareness Fair from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 28, at the DuBois Mall.
Currently, the Mentor Parent Program serves about 3,000 families, Rhodes said.
And although the program is federally-funded, the program is always looking for extra support.
The program is now in it's second year of a five-year grant.
"We're existing OK with federal money, but I want to keep this program going, if we don't get funded one day," Rhodes said. "And it might not be to the degree I'm now doing it, but I'll try to hardest to keep it going with whatever means I can."

CALL FOR IDEAS: NEH Seeking Research Ideas Using High Performance Computing
The NEH's Office of Digital Humanities (ODH) recently launched a Humanities High Performance Computing (HHPC) initiative. As part of this initiative we're offering several grant programs and other opportunities to provide time on the U.S. Department of Energy's high performance computers, as well as grant money and training. NEH established this program to encourage humanities scholars to think about how high performance computers might help them in their research, and to take advantage of existing high performance computer resources.
HHPC and T-REX in the News
In the May 8th edition of HPCwire, John West wrote a piece called "High Performance Humanities" that discusses the NEH's new HHPC initiative. It was great to see coverage of the new initiative in a leading HPC publication. One of our stated goals here in the Office of Digital Humanities is to inspire collaborations across disciplines. My hope is that the computing specialists who are regular readers of HPCwire will take an interest in the many computing challenges we have here in the humanities. In a similar vein, I also note that the Text Analysis Developers Alliance has just announced a new competition called T-REX that hopes to inspire text analysis projects, including those that take advantage of high performance computing. Over the next few years it will be interesting to see what HPC can bring to humanities research.

The Hilton Head Island Welcome Center might say goodbye as a heap of rubble.
The Hilton Head Island Town Council will consider demolishing the building at its 4 p.m. meeting today. Town staff has said the building, constructed in the 1970s, is not worth repairing and recommended razing it.
The Hilton Head Island-Bluffton Chamber of Commerce closed the welcome center in October after a survey found that more travelers are looking for vacation information online.
The chamber has said it intends to set up iPad kiosks around the island at high-traffic areas, such as the airport, hotels, resorts and chamber offices, where visitors can access information previously available at the welcome center.
For more, check back with the Island Packet and Beaufort Gazette later today, and follow reporter Brian Heffernan at twitter.com/IPBG_Brian.

David Beckham: Shirtless in New Fragrance Commercial!
David Beckham goes shirtless in his newly released commercial for his fragrance David Beckham Classic!
"My new fragrance, Classic, is an expression of my style… modern, elegant, masculine… I love it. And hope everyone will love it as much as I do," the 38-year-old soccer star said of his new scent while interviewing himself.
"I wear it on the same occasions as most men: after training, after a shower, when I'm going out…" he added.
When asked if he considers himself good-looking, David said "No, not really but I like to think I've got my own distinct look, which reflects who I am as a person and the way I evolve as a man."

how do I view a list of submitted protocols?
The Protocol List View contains several table columns and filter options specific for protocol management. (Figure 1)
Protocol Title: formal title of the protocol. This is also hyperlinked and when clicked, will take an administrator to the iLab protocol entry.
ID: the protocol ID number. Typically this will come from the institution's protocol management system.
PI: Principal Investigator of the protocol.
Expiration Date: expiration date of the protocol. In addition, there are some visual color cues that lets an administrator quickly see which protocols are due to expire within the next two weeks (date is colored orange) and which protocols have expired (date is colored red).
Status: indicates whether the protocol is Active (has not expired and can be selected on service requests), Expired (past its expiration date), or in a Draft state (indicates a partially completed protocol entry).
Template: Indicates which template was used to create the protocol.
Approval Status: This column will only be visible if external users are allowed to submit protocol requests. There are different approval statuses depending on whether the protocol entry is an internal or external protocol:
If it is an internal protocol, a status of No Approval Needed will be displayed.
If an external user has submitted a protocol request that is waiting for review by the protocol administrator, it will have a status of Requires Approval.
If an external user has submitted a protocol request that has been approved, it will have a status of Approved.
If an external user has submitted a protocol request that has been rejected, it will have a status of Rejected.
You may also filter your Protocol results by using the filter options on the left side of your screen. (Figure 2)

I am not a Peeping Tom -- not intentionally, anyway.
But when, one evening, I happened to look up at an apartment window and see a naked man lathering himself up in the shower, I didn't avert my eyes. I was completely rubbernecking as I walked by because it was like a car wreck -- a sexy, super-clean car wreck.

Did you know these little bits of history?
In George Washington's days, there were no cameras. One's image was
either sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George Washington showed
him standing behind a desk with one arm behind his back while others
showed both legs and both arms. Prices charged by painters were not
based on how many people were to be painted, but by how many limbs
were to be painted. Arms and legs are 'limbs,' therefore painting them
would cost the buyer more. Hence the expression, 'Okay, but it'll cost
you an arm and a leg.' (Artists know hands and arms are more difficult
to paint)
As incredible as it sounds, men and women took baths only twice a year
(May and October) Women kept their hair covered, while men shaved
their heads (because of lice and bugs) and wore wigs. Wealthy men
could afford good wigs made from wool. They couldn't wash the wigs, so
to clean them they would carve out a loaf of bread, put the wig in the
shell, and bake it for 30 minutes. The heat would make the wig big and
fluffy, hence the term 'big wig.' Today we often use the term 'here
comes the Big Wig' because someone appears to be or is powerful and
In the late 1700's, many houses consisted of a large room with only
one chair. Commonly, a long wide board folded down from the wall, and
was used for dining. The 'head of the household' always sat in the
chair while everyone else ate sitting on the floor. Occasionally a
guest, who was usually a man, would be invited to sit in this chair
during a meal. To sit in the chair meant you were important and in
charge. They called the one sitting in the chair the 'chair man.'
Today in business, we use the expression or title 'Chairman' or
'Chairman of the Board..'
Personal hygiene left much room for improvement. As a result, many
women and men had developed acne scars by adulthood. The women would
spread bee's wax over their facial skin to smooth out their
complexions. When they were speaking to each other, if a woman began
to stare at another woman's face she was told, 'mind your own bee's
wax.' Should the woman smile, the wax would crack, hence the term
'crack a smile'. In addition, when they sat too close to the fire, the
wax would melt . . . Therefore, the expression 'losing face.'
Ladies wore corsets, which would lace up in the front. A proper and
dignified woman, as in 'straight laced'. . Wore a tightly tied lace.
Common entertainment included playing cards. However, there was a tax
levied when purchasing playing cards but only applicable to the 'Ace
of Spades.' To avoid paying the tax, people would purchase 51 cards
instead. Yet, since most games require 52 cards, these people were
thought to be stupid or dumb because they weren't 'playing with a full
Early politicians required feedback from the public to determine what
the people considered important. Since there were no telephones, TV's
or radios, the politicians sent their assistants to local taverns,
pubs, and bars. They were told to 'go sip some ale' and listen to
people's conversations and political concerns.. Many assistants were
dispatched at different times. 'You go sip here' and 'You go sip
there.' The two words 'go sip' were eventually combined when referring
to the local opinion and, thus we have the term 'gossip.'
At local taverns, pubs, and bars, people drank from pint and
quart-sized containers. A bar maid's job was to keep an eye on the
customers and keep the drinks coming. She had to pay close attention
and remember who was drinking in 'pints' and who was drinking in
'quarts,' hence the term minding your 'P's and 'Q's
One more and betting you didn't know this!
In the heyday of sailing ships, all war ships and many freighters
carried iron cannons. Those cannons fired round iron cannon balls. It
was necessary to keep a good supply near the cannon. However, how to
prevent them from rolling about the deck? The best storage method
devised was a square-based pyramid with one ball on top, resting on
four resting on nine, which rested on sixteen. Thus, a supply of 30
cannon balls could be stacked in a small area right next to the
cannon. There was only one problem...how to prevent the bottom layer
from sliding or rolling from under the others. The solution was a
metal plate called a 'Monkey' with 16 round indentations.
However, if this plate were made of iron, the iron balls would quickly
rust to it. The solution to the rusting problem was to make 'Brass
Monkeys.' Few landlubbers realize that brass contracts much more and
much faster than iron when chilled.
Consequently, when the temperature dropped too far, the brass
indentations would shrink so much that the iron cannonballs would come
right off the monkey. Thus, it was quite literally, 'Cold enough to
freeze the balls off a brass monkey.' (All this time, you thought that
was an improper expression, didn't you.)

European Parliament Elections - scrap the "Closed Lists"
Members of the European Parliament in Great Britain are elected using the closed list form of proportional representation (Northern Ireland has used the Single Transferable Vote since 1979).
There is nothing voters can do in a closed list system to pass individual judgement on MEPs they support or oppose. In most regions the top candidates of Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat and UKIP were more or less guaranteed election. Even without fully anticipating the UKIP surge in the 2004 election, it was possible to identify 50 out of the 75 MEPs before a vote was cast.
Closed lists tend to reflect internal party preoccupations rather than the priorities of the electorate. Because of the large size of each region, they tend to reward fame over ability to a greater extent than with selections for Commons constituencies. Even when the parties use one member one vote, as they did for selecting candidates for the 2004 European Parliamentary elections, this would not be transparent to voters only to party activists. Closed lists risk increasing party patronage and are less accountable and open to scrutiny. Those chosen are accountable to the party rather than the electorate.
Northern Ireland used the Single Transferable Vote system of election to elect its three MEPs. Turnout in Northern Ireland has been higher than in Great Britain in every European election since they began in 1979. The Northern Ireland election showed significant advantages over closed lists in that voters chose between candidates and could be confident that their vote would not be wasted, either because their favourite candidate was elected easily or by backing a candidate who turned out to have little support in which case their second vote would count.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating. The turnout in the elections for the European Parliament in 1999 was 23.1% in Great Britain as against 57.7% in Northern Ireland. The difference was not so great in 2004 being 38.2% against 51.7% but remember in Great Britain the local and European elections were held on the same day and postal voting was brought in on a massive scale. It is time we had the same basis of election throughout the United Kingdom and that basis should be the Single Transferable Vote.
The European parliament electoral system can be improved without losing its advantages. Open lists and STV would both allow greater choice for voters, and STV would be much fairer to candidates without support from a major Party. STV would be a better system for future European elections.
The present system of closed lists for the European parliament elections should be abolished. It should be replaced by a STV system of election where each constituency elects three MEPs.

A Conservative Philosophy
Inherent in and at the core of the Conservative Party's philosophy is a belief in:
An economy based on:
• Free markets and trade
• Private ownership and enterprise
• Monetary and fiscal probity
• Gainful employment
• Minimum intervention by the State
• Low taxation
A society based on:
• Patriotism and duty
• Reciprocal rights and responsibilities
• Respect for law and order
• Equal educational opportunities
This philosophy:
• Accommodates the view that each human being is an individual, answerable to and for him or herself and also a responsible citizen of the community
• Allows that there are bound to be social and economic inequalities in life and that the strong have a duty to help the weak and encourage them to help themselves
• Leads to policies that are justified by common-sense rather than doctrinaire theory
A philosophy is more a statement of belief in the nature of things than one of intent or action which, respectively, are the foundations of strategy and policy. The perceived aim of the Conservative Party is to build a democratic society that is both prosperous and at ease with itself. To achieve this aim the following objectives must be pursued by the Party:
• Maintain itself as a national organisation supported by a broad section of the population from all walks of life
• Uphold the rule of law and order and the concept of equality of all before the law
• Create favourable conditions for the creation of wealth and thereby to sustain high levels of employment and living standards
• Promote free enterprise, maximise choice and minimise regulation
• Provide or enable the provision of high quality services in fields where the State must provide them
• Control public expenditure within a balanced budget and with low levels of taxation
• A foreign policy which is conducive to our National interest.
• Ensure the integrity and security of the realm

32MB M-Systems DiskOnKey USB Micro Hard Drive ReviewFormer staff writer -
Category: Storage / Hard Drives
Price: $79
Transferring files between computers and locations has always been a challenge. Back in the days if your computers were not networked, and the files would not fit on floppies, you were pretty much out of luck. Ofcourse you could burn the files on CD, but taking up only half or less than half of the cd space would be a real waste. You could do what I do, try and find some old floppies, format them, and put a file on each floppy which takes forever to do.. Or you could eliminate the floppies and headache and buy a DiskOnKey.

DiskOnKey is a pen-sized device hard drive that goes on your keychain or clips on your shirt pocket. How much data can these micro hard drives hold? Well, the one that I am reviewing is the 32MB model. They also come in the following sizes: 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128 Mbyte. The company that makes these (M-Systems) is currently making a 256MB and 512MB models and they should be out sometime next year. M-Systems has not marketed these to just one type of industry. They instead, market the DiskOnKey to everyone. It's very handy at the office to transfer files to and fromhome, or from your home computer to your laptop. That's what I use it for :)
Got a school report you're working on at home that has lots of pictures and it's too big for a floppy and too small for a cd? Well you could store it on your DiskOnKey and take it to school, and then work on your report or project there.
DiskOnKey is a plug-and-play device, meaning you plug it in, and it works without having to install any drivers. All I did was plug it into one of my USB ports in the back of my computer, then Windows XP detected the device without asking for drivers.
Now, I was able to browse from "My Computer" to the DiskOnKey. Windows will automatically assign the DiskOnKey a drive letter, in my case it was called Drive F:
Documentation states that no software is required for Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows XP, Linux 2.40, or MacOS 8.6 and up. Windows 98 had seemed to be left off the list, so I decided I would try it out on my Windows 98 box that I had. Once I plugged the device in, Windows 98 asked for drivers. What do you know.. So I surfed on over to the DiskOnKey website and downloaded the Windows 98 drivers and then installed them. Windows then detected the device and it installed the drivers, without any problems.
When I was transfering my MP3's to the DiskOnKey I could tell that it was ALOT faster than a floppy. So, to test the device and the transfer speeds, I ran a SiSoft Sandra hard drive benchmark test and here are the results:
As you can clearly see, the DiskOnKey is indeed ALOT faster than a floppy.
ConclusionThe DiskOnKey is a great piece of portable storage technology. Not only is it small, attractive in design, it transfers data very quickly and is effortless to install. The looks and quick speeds do come with a price though, at $79 for the 32MB model I reviewed, might put a hole on your pocket. The MSRP for the 8MB-$29, 16MB-$49, 32MB-$79, 64MB-$99, and $149 for the 128MB model. Next year when they release the 256MB and 512MB models the price of these older models might go down some.
- Sleek and attractive
- Fast transfer speeds
- Small size and portable
- No security (No password protection ect..)
- Slightly expensive

***The Ford GT had its first official accident on Sunday morning when Dirk Mueller nosed the No. 66 car into the barriers. The car sustained only minor damage and returned for the seventh and final session of the weekend with a carbon nose. Unofficially, it was at least the second crash, following a heavy accident by Scott Maxwell in testing last year at Sebring.
***IMSA is evaluating the possibility of splitting the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca round into separate races again, due to an expected increase in full-season entries. The 2014 event saw separate two-hour P/GTLM and PC/GTD races, with a combined entry of 55 entries, compared to 35 entries in a combined four-class, two-hour and 40-minute race last year. IMSA VP of Competition Simon Hodgson did not say when a final decision would be made.
***Mazda could officially confirm its 2017 DPi involvement by as soon as Rolex 24 race week, according to motorsports director John Doonan. "If I can get it done by [the Rolex 24], I'd like to confirm it officially," he told Sportscar365. It's understood Mazda is leaning towards an alliance with chassis constructor Riley-Multimatic.
***After a deal with PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports fell through at the last minute, Honda Performance Development hasn't given up on hopes of seeing its re-worked ARX-04b return to the track. "It's one of the reasons I'm here, to see if we can find a suitable partner to get it out on the track where it should be," HPD VP and COO Steve Eriksen told Sportscar365.
***Eriksen has specifically targeted the Twelve Hours of Sebring for seeing the car's potential return and is understood to have had discussions with a number of teams inside, and outside, of the IMSA paddock. He admitted it would be too late to assemble a program for Daytona.
***Andreas Wirth has been confirmed as the fourth driver in the DeltaWing DWC13 for the Rolex 24. The former Atlantic driver turned his first laps in the car this weekend alongside full-season drivers Katherine Legge and Sean Rayhall, plus NAEC pilot Andy Meyrick.
***This weekend marked the debut of IMSA's new standard data logger system, which has been installed on all GTLM and GTD cars, and will roll out on prototypes beginning in 2017. The systems, which reportedly cost in the $15,000 range per car, is being used as part of the sanctioning body's new Balance of Performance process.
***Marcel Fassler turned his first laps in a Corvette Racing entry in more than six years, or 2,296 days to be exact, when the 2012 World Endurance Champion and Audi factory driver on-loan took to the wheel of the No. 4 Corvette C7.R on Saturday. Fassler took part in the endurance races for the Pratt & Miller squad in 2009.
***Mirco Schultis turned laps in the No. 8 Starworks Motorsport Oreca on Sunday afternoon. The German driver, who teamed with Renger van der Zande for much of the last two seasons, is however unlikely to take part in the Rolex 24 but has expressed the desire for other selected races this year.
***Those who have hopped of seeing Sabine Schmitz — originally on the entry list in the Frikadelli Porsche 911 GT3 R — take part in the Rolex 24 may get their wish as team owner Klaus Abbelen told Sportscar365 there's a chance the 'Ring Queen could race, depending on her filming commitments with Top Gear. Schmitz is currently on assignment in California.
***Frikadelli could take part in further IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship races beyond Daytona, with Abbelen telling Sportscar365 there's a "50/50 chance" of doing the Twelve Hours of Sebring. The VLN squad, taking part in its first race outside of the Nordschleife, is receiving logistical and operations support from Cole Scrogham's group.
***Olivier Pla is shaping up to have a busy 2016 season as the newly signed Ford GT driver will take part in the FIA World Endurance Championship for the Blue Oval, as well as the Tequila Patron North American Endurance Cup races with Michael Shank Racing. It's also believed the Frenchman could be in line to rejoin Krohn Racing for the European Le Mans Series season.
***Former Walker Racing team manager Phil Howard has joined Alex Job Racing as its new team manager, having only just arrived in Florida on Tuesday. He will relocate to Florida from Indianapolis either later this month or in February. Coincidentally, his first race with Job will see him reunited with Team Falken Tire driver Wolf Henzler, who will be in the Job team's No. 23 Porsche 911 GT3 R.
***Howard also told Sportscar365 that with Job's team fully stocked, no other Walker Racing crew members from the Team Falken Tire program have joined the team. Derrick Walker has entered his new role as SCCA's President.
***Patrick Lindsey's accident on Saturday night saw a rare issue, as contact from hitting an exposed concrete barrier sent the strut into the shock tower on the right front of the No. 73 Park Place Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R. The Park Place crew worked until midnight for repairs, and continued at work Sunday morning to get the car back out on track.
***Longtime engineer Laurent Coppee, who most recently worked for Porsche North America and 8Star Motorsports, passed away suddenly last week. Sportscar365 sends its condolences to Coppee's family at this difficult time.

Does anyone know if there is going to be a live stream from imsa.com this year?
Yep. The free live stream will continue with Radio Le Mans commentary.
Sweet thanks for the good news!
Does anyone know if it'll be televised?
I think it will be on fox sports and on speed network,as for the european side,motors tv is pretty much 100% confirmed,as they have showned it for quite a few years.
as for the asian side,i really dont know anything,but even if you dont find a tv channel,imsa will stream it soo yeah…hope i helped you out
It helped a lot thanks!
I like the split race format. Would love to see that at Laguna again. This time however. Let each race be longer than 2 hours plus this time they go with P/LMPC and GTLM/GTD.
I like the split race as well and and the p/pc and gtlm/gtd format is better idea than what they ran a few years ago
To HPD:
The only time you'll find a team willing to run your P2 car is when you PAY them to run it.
I've heard a vicious rumour that Honda's been talking to a top Indycar team about running their P2. Now, it isn't the most reliable source where I heard this, but it sounds interesting. Wouldn't mind seeing an Andretti Autosport return to prototype racing. Perhaps even Penske….
Don't believe anything about Andretti, they've put bids in for all sorts of stuff, but if they don't get everything paid for for them they wont bother touching it.
I'm not saying it's Andretti. No teams were mentioned as a matter of fact. It's still an interesting rumour….IF it's true.

R.I.P. Les Paul
The Associated Press reports that the pioneering guitarist and inventor Les Paul died today in White Plains, New York of complications from pneumonia. He was 94. Though he accomplished many remarkable things during his long lifetime, Paul's biggest legacy remains his creation of the Les Paul model guitar.
Born Lester William Polsfuss in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Paul got his start in the 1930s as a Chicago jazz and country guitarist. He was an early adopter of electric guitar, and pretty soon he began experimenting with his own models, becoming one of the pioneers in the invention of the solid body guitar. In the 40s, he played on records from stars like Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters.
Paul was also an innovator in the field of multi-track recording. On the 1947 track "Lover (When You're Near Me)", he played the song by himself on eight multi-tracked guitar parts, something revolutionary at the time. His 1950s recordings with his wife Mary Ford laid the groundwork for modern studio recording.
For decades, Paul played weekly shows in New York City. His line of Gibson guitars is considered to be pretty much the gold standard.

Leicester City's players have been enjoying a resurgent run of form lately, but that hasn't distracted from the role they played in Claudio Ranieri's infamous sacking last month.
Having lost faith in the Tinkerman, a group of senior players reportedly spoke with the club's board to raise concerns over his managerial methods.
And the rest is history. Ranieri was shown the exit door on February 23 not even a year after guiding Leicester to the Premier League title.
Jamie Vardy has been particularly accused of stabbing Ranieri in the back and, earlier today, the 30-year-old revealed how he and his family have been receiving death threats.
"The story is out there, then people pick it up and jump on it and you're getting death threats about your family, kids, everything," he said, per the Guardian.
"I try to get on with it but when people are trying to cut your missus up while she's driving along with the kids in the back of the car it's not the best.
"It's happened plenty of times. It is terrifying."
It takes a lot to scare Vardy but, after this latest development, it appears he genuinely fears for his family's wellbeing.
Leicester have now responded to the striker's claims and, according to Sky Sports' Rob Dorsett, they've taken drastic action.
In the tweet below, Dorsett explains how Leicester have offered Vardy and his family "extra security" to protect them.
No matter where they originate from, death threats should never be taken lightly and Leicester have recognised that fact.
Perhaps Vardy's role in the sacking has been blown out of proportion. When Leicester's senior players were called into a meeting to discuss Ranieri, it was their duty to be completely honest about the situation.
And judging by Vardy's Instagram tribute to Ranieri, getting him sacked clearly wasn't his intention - he just wanted better for his club.
"I must have written and deleted my words to this post a stupid amount of times! I owed Claudio to find the right and appropriate words!" he wrote.
"Claudio has and always will have my complete respect! What we achieved together and as a team was the impossible! He believed in me when many didn't and for that I owe him my eternal gratitude.
"There is speculation I was involved in his dismissal and this is completely untrue, unfounded and is extremely hurtful!
"The only thing we are guilty of as a team is underachieving which we all acknowledge both in the dressing room and publicly and will do our best to rectify.
"I wish Claudio the very very best in whatever the future holds for him. Thank You Claudio for everything.

About Tangmere
Tangmere Military Aviation Museum was born when a group of like-minded enthusiasts met to discuss ways of keeping the memory of RAF Tangmere alive. In 1981, West Sussex County Council donated a large SECO hut to the group and in June 1982, following much hard endeavour, the embryo Museum opened its doors to visitors. We have grown considerably since then to exhibit a vast number of artefacts.
Staffed entirely by volunteers, our mission statement can be described thus:
The Museum exists to promote awareness of the United Kingdom's military aviation heritage and to educate present and future generations in military aviation by:
- Exhibiting the history of aircraft and personnel involved in military aviation with particular reference to RAF Tangmere and its unique place in that history.
- Serving as a memorial to those allied airmen and airwomen who gave their lives in the service of this country.
In 1987, the Museum became a Charitable Trust and Limited Company. As such, its full title is the Tangmere Military Aviation Museum Trust Ltd and it is governed by Memorandum and Articles of Association.
The Museum's governing body is the Trust Council, comprising 9 elected Trustees who, in effect, constitute the Company's Board of Directors. The Council is responsible for all matters of policy, including the allocation of departmental budgets. Day to day management is delegated to the Museum's Director who oversees a Management Team comprising the following areas of responsibility: Curator, Operations, Safety, Education, Engineering, Publicity and Simulators. The cafeteria (operated via franchise) and shop (Museum Trading Company) respond directly to the Trust Council.

Born in England and raised in Nairobi, Kenya, director Mike Figgis studied music in London, where he helped form a rhythm and blues group called the Gas Board that included amongst its members a young Bryan Ferry. Figgis' roots as a musician would later be made readily apparent in his screen work, as he has scored several of his films. Following his tenure with the Gas Board, he went on to work with an experimental British comedy/variety group known as The People Show.
After bei
Figgis rebounded in 1999, releasing two films that year. The first, The Loss of Sexual Innocence, was a story revolving around a young man's sexual evolution, while the second, Miss Julie, was an adaptation of August Strindberg's play about an illicit love affair between a titled young woman (Saffron Burrows) and her servant (Peter Mullan).

Ji Chang Wook reveals why he needed to become close with YoonA as fast as possible!
Although "The K2" has come to an end...nevertheless, those who could not get enough of Ji Chang Wook and YoonA's chemistry on screen can still get their fill of some juicy behind the scene moments! Following the conclusion of the drama, while Ji Chang Wook sat down to talk about what it was like working with Girls' Generation's YoonA, he also revealed the circumstances behind their first kiss scene and the necessity to become close with YoonA as fast as possible! Just what happened? Keep reading to find out the secret behind their first kiss!
During a recent interview, The K2's, Ji Chang Wook discussed his chemistry and relationship with co-star YoonA remarking that,
"She's a member of Girls' Generation, and idol-turned-actors tend to be met with a certain prejudice. When we met for the first time as partners, I tried my best to avoid seeing her through a certain lens. I saw her as my partner, my co-star. Because I didn't see any of her previous works, I was able to do that. I just saw her as Anna and YoonA.
However, apart from his professionalism and respect for his co-star, Ji Chang Wook also revealed a shocking truth regarding their first onscreen kiss! Wook went onto explain that,"
"To be honest, the final kiss scene shown in the drama was actually the first thing we filmed when we were filming overseas. We were notified about the kiss scene after we arrived at the Barcelona airport. A clear script hadn't been released, and the writer only gave us the situation. I was so taken aback that I said 'Let's become close as soon as possible.' We had to become close as soon as possible because of the kiss scene. We talked a lot about the drama as well as our own stories, values, hobbies, and even our philosophies on life. Because of that, we quickly became close."
What did you think of Ji Chang Wook and YoonA's kiss scene? Do you think they were able to get close enough?

JPL Wants To FINESSE Info From Exoplanets
Jet Propulsion Laboratory's proposed FINESSE space telescope may not hunt for exoplanets, but it will find out what they're made of.
Part of NASA's Explorers program, FINESSE — which stands for (take a deep breath) Fast INfrared Exoplanet Spectroscopy Survey Explorer — would gather spectroscopic data from 200 known exoplanets over a two-year period, helping scientists to determine the composition of their atmospheres, surfaces, and even their weather.
While huge discoveries have been made by both ground- and space-based telescopes like Kepler and Corot over the past several years, identifying thousands of exoplanetary candidates, FINESSE will be the first mission dedicated to finding out what the atmospheres are like on worlds outside our solar system.
Using a sensitive spectrograph covering 0.7-5.0 microns, FINESSE will be able to identify molecular bands of water, methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and other molecules. Its sensitivity and stability will even allow it to detect the differences between an exoplanet's day and night side, allowing wind flow and weather to be determined.
Known as an Offner spectrometer, the design of the FINESSE detector is derived from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper instrument, which was designed at JPL and flew to the Moon aboard India's Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft.
Touted as "the next step" in exoplanetary exploration, FINESSE is proposed for launch in October 2016.
Learn more at JPL's FINESSE site here.
"FINESSE is the next step in humankind's journey of understanding our place in the cosmos."

Go to LA and eat as the LA people do (or at least that is my personal mantra).
When I travel, I love finding the awesome food place and per my trip to LA over Christmas I already knew that Umami would be on the to do list this past April. So when I saw that UMAMIcatessen had opened, well, let's just say it was pack everyone in the car and drive to downtown LA time.
The amazingness of Umami plus an incredible deli (get the pastrami, your life will be changed) and homemade donuts to finish off the meal. It was an amazing meal that I may still be dreaming of.

ANSI Accredits First Five Health Information Technology Certification Bodies
Jul 18, 2012, 04:54 ET
WASHINGTON, July 18, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American National Standards Institute (ANSI), coordinator of the U.S. voluntary standardization system, is pleased to announce the first accreditations of health information technology certification bodies under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) Permanent Certification Program for Health Information Technology (HIT). In June 2011 ANSI was selected as the Approved Accreditor for the ONC program, which was established by regulation in a final rule published in the Federal Register on January 7, 2011.
The program provides a way for organizations to become authorized by ONC to test and certify electronic health record (EHR) technology. As Approved Accreditor, ANSI reviews and accredits all certification bodies seeking to participate in the ONC program.
ANSI's Accreditation Committee confirmed the following accreditations on July 10, the first to be announced as part of the ONC program:
- Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT)
- Drummond Group, Inc.
- ICSA Laboratories, Inc.
- InfoGard Laboratories, Inc.
- Orion Register, Inc.
The scopes for these accredited certifiers include complete EHRs and EHR modules. A complete EHR refers to EHR technology that has been developed to meet, at a minimum, all applicable certification criteria adopted by the HHS Secretary. An EHR module refers to any service, component, or combination thereof that meets at least one certification criterion adopted by the Secretary. It is anticipated that these accredited certification bodies, after approval by ONC, will provide certification under the criteria to be published under the final rule for 2014 Edition Certification Criteria.
"Accreditation by ANSI creates a valuable distinction for these five certification bodies," said Lane Hallenbeck, ANSI vice president of accreditation services. "The ONC program helps to instill confidence in EHR technology among health IT developers, health professionals and hospitals, and the general public."
This program seeks to enhance the certification processes for health information technology in the United States by improving comprehensiveness, transparency, reliability, and efficiency. Accreditations have been granted based on the assessment of a certification body's competence in accordance with ONC and ANSI requirements, including demonstrated compliance with:
- ISO/IEC Guide 65 - General requirements for bodies operating product certification systems
- IAF Guidance on the application of ISO/IEC Guide 65
- 45 CFR PART 170 – Health Information Technology Standards, Implementation Specifications, and Certification Criteria and Certification Programs for Health Information Technology
ANSI's portfolio of accreditation services includes programs for a broad range of certification and verification bodies, including those for products, personnel, greenhouse gas emissions, as well as standards developers. For more information, visit www.ansi.org/accreditation.
"We appreciate and respect the ONC's trust in the value and integrity of ANSI accreditation, and are committed to build on the record of confidence established via public-private partnerships with many other government agencies relying on ANSI accreditation," said Mr. Hallenbeck.
The Institute is accepting applications from additional certification bodies interested in participating in the ONC Permanent Certification Program for Health Information Technology. To learn more about the requirements or to obtain an application, please contact Reinaldo Figueiredo, ANSI senior program director (firstname.lastname@example.com; 202-331-3611) or Nikki Jackson, ANSI program manager (email@example.com; 202-331-3623).
