The entire cast? Well then, where's Liebot's blog? Or Todd's? (well, I guess he can't read, but he could always dictate to Blister?) Oh, and what about Vlad? Or Nice Pete? Or Little Nephew? Okay, that's enough being a smart-ass from me for now.
BTW, I can't decide if Pat or Lyle has the best blog.
A Vlad blog would rule. And yeah, I know Todd's illiterate, but I still say a squireel who wants to tell the IRS he sells smack outta his van deserves a blog.
Vlad could call his blog "King of the Makeout's".
"Well then, where's Liebot's blog?"
That was my question. Onstad replied that robots don't blog. By way of punctuation, he added: "Duh."
Oh, and Lyle's is the best.
What does he mean that robots don't blog? Couldn't they update their blogs using nothing but the power of the mind? Sheesh.

What is the best version of Linux? This question continues to be asked by novices to open source operating systems and by people who are contemplating a partial or full switch to Linux. First, it should be understood that, technically, a version of Linux isn't the same as a distribution, also called a distro, or flavor of Linux. Version can refer to the different versions available within the same distro or it can refer to a release of that distro. Most all of them release a new version at set intervals. For example, the Fedora distribution releases a new version of their open source operating system approximately every six months. Each release is a version, but the distribution remains the same- Fedora. Although it's probably best to ask what the best distribution is, experienced Linux users should understand what's meant by the question, "What is the best version of Linux?"
- slide 2 of 17
Criticism and Opinions
The numerous Linux distributions in existence revolve around a core known as the kernel. This is why they all have many things in common such as file system, presence of the vi editor, incompatibility with win/soft modems, etc. However, each distro can also have sharp differences, capabilities and design because they were born from an idea, a specific purpose that a developer or group of developers had in mind. One of the most important things to keep in mind when asking, "What is the best version of Linux?" is that just as the developer coded the system according to plans, users of the distro would do well to choose it based on those plans.
- slide 3 of 17
Unfortunately, some Linux users who are firm believers in certain distros criticize the use of others. Such criticism can cause confusion in newbies who don't have enough familiarity with Linux to distinguish fact from critical opinion. A distro that works fine and suits the needs of one user might not work for another. You'll want to choose a system that's right for your computing needs, regardless of anyone else's criticism or opinion of your choice, especially if they're not going to help you if something goes wrong.
- slide 4 of 17
Tips for Choosing
If you have little or no experience working with Linux, you might do well to ask yourself (and answer) some or all of the following questions. Your responses will prove valuable in helping you to decide.
1. Are you a newbie to Linux?
2. Do you need a totally free distro or are you willing to pay a fee (not all distros are free of charge)?
3. Are your computing needs business or personal or both?
4. Would you prefer a distro that's available in a language other than English?
5. How do you connect to the Internet?
6. Do you tend to opt for very economically priced hardware? Cheap printers can be a problem.
7. How much help is available when you have questions? Don't forget that there are community forums for just about every distribution out there. You can visit them as a guest to see how supportive and knowledgeable the members are.
8. What machine will you use and is it legacy hardware?
9. Are you comfortable working on a command line or do you always have to have a Graphical User Interface (GUI)?
10. Do you have to continue using programs made to be run under Windows?
- slide 5 of 17
Putting It All Together
As you consider the answers to the ten questions above, consider the list of Linux operating system below and the brief information given about each. Most all of them can be purchased very economically from www.DiscountLinuxDVD.com or downloaded from a number of mirror sites easily located with a Google search. Remember that the real answer to the question of which is the best version of Linux is usually a personal and opinionated one, and this is how it should be if you're the only one who'll use it. If you must share work with others or a change would inconvenience them, simply consider everyone's input. Take advantage of the many distros now available as live Compact Discs (CD's) so you can try a system without actually installing it. Working with it in live mode can't give you the exact same experience as working with it actually installed, but it'll give you an idea.
- slide 6 of 17
What Is the Best Linux Distribution? Readers asking what is the best version of Linux begin looking at general information about various distributions to help them decide. Here is a list to get them started with making a partial or full switch to Linux.
- slide 7 of 17
Some of the Many Distributions
- slide 9 of 17
Fedora - This is an internationally popular distro powerful enough for business use, yet perfectly suited for the desktop. There's much help available in online community forums, but if you post a question as a newbie, let others know so they don't get too technical. Fedora has a security component called SELinux that sometimes gets in the way of getting work done, but you can turn it off. If you want proprietary code installed to watch Digital Versatile Discs (DVD's) and play MP3 files, avoid Fedora if you're a novice. It's an open source only distro requiring more "tweaking" for such capabilities. Novices who have dial-up Internet will probably find themselves very frustrated trying to get connectivity. Make sure you have a real hardware (controller-based) modem- and you still might have problems. Fedora is available and well documented in numerous languages. One thing I dislike is having to adjust to the sometimes drastic changes from version to version.
- slide 11 of 17
Ubuntu - One of the most popular distributions worldwide is Ubuntu, so if you live in a city, you're likely to encounter a good number of seasoned users who might be able to help you. Connection to the Internet by dial-up is problematic with recent releases. Ubuntu will suffice for business and personal use and is often said to be one of the easiest distros to switch to from Windows.
- slide 13 of 17
Puppy - This distro is only about 100MB in size, but it's very robust. It might not suffice for some businesses, but I'd say it's a fantastic flavor for personal use. If you have legacy hardware, this is probably the best distro because you can run it in live mode even if your machine lacks a local disk, but it must have Random Access Memory (RAM). It's amazing how much is offered in Puppy. Word processing (AbiWord), software for ripping CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs is included. The Seamonkey web browser and email client are feature rich. You can enjoy Instant Messaging (IM), some games, and it's simple to download more of the better known software such as OpenOffice Writer, and the GIMP from the repository. Puppy is still friendly towards dial-up users. It's not a good choice for people who work with the vi editor. It's there, but it's greatly scaled down to the most basic functionality.
- slide 14 of 17
PC Linux OS - This is a good "basic" distro offering most of what any home user will want and claims simplicity.
Berry Linux - This is another good "basic" distro offering most of what any home user will want or need. I have little experience with Berry, but was impressed with all that it offered. A WINdows Emulator (WINE) comes bundled with it (version 1.0 ) so it might make a very good choice for users wanting to continue using Windows programs.
Freespire - Although many people are satisfied with this distro, I don't find that the End User Licence Agreement (EULA) reads like you would expect it to for a truly free operating system.
Mandriva - Mandriva used to have a reputation for being difficult for novices, but that's no longer true with the newest releases. There's a free and a fee-based version; both are robust enough to handle personal and business computing.
- slide 16 of 17
Tiny Core - I would say that this distro, only 10MB in size, is really just a core, allowing for great flexibility in customization. The advantage of such a system is that it'll run on the oldest machines even without a local drive. If you're a newbie, I strongly advise against it. It's really for people who want almost total control over what's in and what's not in their operating system. An introduction to Tiny Core gives detail about the modes in which this system may be run.
- slide 17 of 17
Knoppix - I'd call this a "basic" system that would suit any personal computing needs and is user friendly. Understanding Knoppix - Beginner's User Guide gives more information.
Debian - This is another totally open source distribution that's extremely large in size. I've no personal experience with it, but it's designed to handle personal and business computing.
So, what is the best version of Linux? It's the distro that suits your needs, that you like, and with which you're comfortable.

A Dayton Gem is being polished
By Natasha Habib
"It's a new day, it's a new dawn, it's your new DAI," said Michael R. Roediger, executive director of the Dayton Art Institute. His quote, prominently displayed on the museum's website, sums up how the DAI's new leadership feels about the art institute of which they've become a part. Roediger and Jane A. Black, associate director of the DAI, have finished their first full year as caretakers of this tribute to Dayton's rich culture, creativity and history.
"We're nontraditional leaders of an art museum," said Roediger. "Traditionally, people in our role would either have an art history degree or curatorial degree. We don't have either."
Black was the executive director of the Dayton Visual Arts Center (DVAC) and Roediger was the vice president of development for Victoria Threatre Association. Nontraditional is exactly what the DAI needs right now. Like the rest of the city and many of its residents, the Dayton Art Institute has been through a rough patch recently.
"By necessity, a lot of my first couple of years here was kind of a holding pattern, so to speak, just stabilizing and recovering from the shock of the economic downturn because that definitely impacted the museum," said Eric Brockman, marketing and communications manager, who has been working at the DAI for the past three and a half years.
"We are definitely in the mode of invention, I would say," said Black. "We are part of a national, and I would say probably international, trend of reinventing what it means to be a museum. And that's partially for financial reasons – the old funding models are not working and museums are falling left and right. It's very difficult to keep them on a sustainable model business-wise. But it also has a great deal to do with how people live their lives, how they consume information, how they seek entertainment. And like many, many different kinds of arts groups we're figuring out, 'how do we fit into that? How do we make it work for the 21st century?' And so it's exciting times on a lot of levels. There's a lot of hard work to be done and there's a lot of things to be imagined and dreamed of and moved forward."
"It was a fresh start," said Roediger. "We have all the opportunity to make change. But we're doing it for the community. We don't own this building; we're just the caretakers of it right now." With their combined experience, the duo is making changes to reinvent the DAI while keeping the community and the art at the heart of their mission.
Their first project was fixing the leaking roof. Buckets in the galleries collecting dripping water wasn't a very attractive look for the museum, nor was having to remove the works of art surrounding the leaks.
"You can't run a museum when you're taking all the art off the walls," said Roediger. Thanks to the generosity of patrons, the Hale Cloister (formerly Italian Cloister) was renovated with the restoration of columns and sculptures along with a new fountain, landscaping and lighting.
A major change visitors will notice immediately upon entering the museum is the new Leo Bistro, just to the left of the main entrance where the gift shop used to be (the gift shop has been relocated nearby). With over a thousand objects on display spanning 5,000 years, it's impossible to make it through all the collections without getting hungry. Now, visitors can break for lunch in the museum, or even meet a friend for coffee and check out some art while they're there. Leo Bistro, which is schooled to open by the end of January, will be open during regular museum hours – seating up to 68 people in the front and 80 including the back meeting space – and can also be rented for private parties, able to accommodate 100 people for a cocktail-style party.
Featuring culinary art fit for an art museum, Leo Bistro will be run by Chef Dana Downs of Roost Modern Italian on Fifth Street in the Oregon District.
"We're very excited to have Chef Dana Downs heading up our bistro," said Roediger. Black agreed. "She's amazing – really creative. She is to food what the DAI is to art."
Black and Roediger are good at identifying the needs of their building and its audience. From feeding hungry art-lovers to keeping up with the times, the team is integrating technology into the experience. Funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the DAI is now featuring the "What is a Masterpiece?" program.
"It was a grant to take 50 objects from our collection and create a layered website with information about each one that can be accessed through a QR code (those square, pixilated-looking barcodes)," explained Black. "So you come up to a painting, or a vase, or a drum or a sculpture and you click the QR code and you get different interesting stories about that era and that object. If it's a sculpture it might be, 'how is stone carving done?' If it's a medieval sculpture, it might be music from that era … It tells these stories. But the final piece is always, 'so is this a masterpiece to you?' 'What do you think?' … There's this opportunity for feedback that's built into the system. So we are going to start hearing these stories."
"It's not taking away from the art to have a richer experience looking at what the music was like in the renaissance period when these tapestries were made," said Roediger. "We could've designed it so that you just looked at your iPad, but it's really asking you to take a deeper look at a piece of art." As part of the grant, Wi-Fi has been installed throughout the museum and bistro, so you can use your smart phone, iPad or borrow an iPad from the museum to engage in an interactive experience.
In addition to physical changes inside the museum, Black and Roediger have also been focused on building the DAI's audience. "We do want people to really know that we value, and that we know, that the art is at the mission and at the heart of what we really have to do," said Roediger. "We're just looking beyond that to build the audience to keep it thriving." One way they're doing this is by increasing accessibility on multiple levels.
"We're working hard to figure out ways to make the museum more accessible to people with disabilities," said Roediger. "This is a tough building because it's on the National (Register of Historic Places). It was completed in 1930; they didn't think about those things." Black and Roediger also want to make sure that visitors feel that the art is accessible to them, without necessarily having an education or background in fine arts.
"I think some of the things we learned from Rockwell was that it was very accessible to people," Roediger said of the "American Chronicles" exhibition that ran from late 2011 through early 2012 featuring the works of Norman Rockwell. "They didn't feel like they had to be an art expert to understand it. There was name recognition. And they felt like it was a piece of Americana, that it was something that they wanted to know because it reflected their life … We want at least one show a year that everybody feels is accessible."
"We're also trying to make it accessible to all different cultures," said Roediger. He and Black explained that the neighborhood surrounding the DAI used to be a primarily white neighborhood but has since become very diverse. "(The Dayton Art Institute) has to reflect who lives here … We are looking for more and more opportunity to embrace how Dayton has evolved since the time this museum was built."
"We have things that were collected by Americans in other places long ago as objects kind of devoid of their cultural connection," said Black, noting the African, Asian and Oceanic collections, among others. "We now have people in our (city) who are part of that culture and those objects are meaningful to them in different ways and they have different stories to attach to them and tell about them. And I think that's enormously exciting to have someone experience that collection from a different perspective and to be able to share that with us and with others. And that's something I see growing … It talks about what art can do; it can really help people understand themselves and each other … That's a real contribution to the community, is helping that process occur."
Connecting with the community and helping those within the community connect with each other has been an integral part of Black and Roediger's new model.
"I think people see that there are a lot more things going on here," said Black. "I don't think they always realize that it's not just generated by museum staff. We've been working hard to develop partnerships … We've continued partnerships with Muse Machine and with many of the schools in the area. But we've added a resident company in our theater, Zoot Theatre (Company), which has been very successful." This outside help has allowed DAI to open its doors for more audience-building events. "We had a fantastic crowd for a project that we did with Dayton Contemporary Dance Company where we presented 'Sparkle,' the documentary. We had a great partnership with the Jewish Federation, FilmDayton and WYSO to present 'Take Me Home,' another documentary."
One of the biggest success stories of 2012 for the DAI was the Prime Time Party Rental Series, presented by Prime Time Party Rental. "(These events) are pop-cultured themed parties that involve music and specialty foods and drinks that are themed and costumes if you want to wear them and there's always a visual arts element that ties to the collection or the special exhibition," said Black. The 2012 series included the Olympic Opening Ceremonies Party, Superhero Costume Ball and James Bond Martini Bash, and Brockman noted that he saw a lot of new faces at these events.
The art institute has found other outside help in addition to the partnerships. Whether it's in need of furniture for the bistro, an espresso machine or dollars, patrons and local businesses have provided much needed donations.
"The community loves the art institute; the community wants the art institute to succeeded," said Black. "What they needed to know is what we need." Through a mutually beneficial relationship with the community, the DAI saw its attendance climb to its highest level in three years – over 140,000 in 2012. "We are slowly but surely closing the gap between what it costs to run a humongous historic building – filled with art that has to be kept at a constant level of temperature and humidity and be highly insured and under guard – with the revenues that you can bring in with presenting that art to the public," Black said.
The art institute, like the city it's in, is experiencing an exciting rebirth. "When people slam on Dayton, I'm like, 'you know what? Dayton's a great place to live,'" said Roediger. "And there are great things happening; there's great art, great cost of living. We're reinventing ourselves. We have a great history but our future can be equally as great … If you're going to complain then do something to make it better or go ahead and move. We need more champions, we don't need more pessimists." Black and Roediger have been shining examples of the kind of champions the DAI needs, but anyone can contribute. The easiest way is to become a member of the DAI, which pays for itself after a few visits. And just be present, said Roediger. Come for a special exhibition you're dying to see, and then give a more eclectic one like Chinese fiber art a shot. Meet your friends for lunch at Leo Bistro, find a birthday card or unique gift in the museum's gift shop or just come in out of the elements and hang out in the galleries.

He did not have any need for kidney dialysis, he might have had diabetes and probably kidney stones but n dialysis. It was a claim made by the CIA that turned out to be a mistake. They also said he died of typhod, looks like that was wrong, really your wrong, I know you are wrong because I seem to be one of the few people on ATS with a ability to critically evaluate sources.

I have done, and I have reached the conclusion that any connection between Al'Qa'ida and the CIA during the 1980's was negligible and from the 1990's onwards there was no connection what so ever. I think if you done some of your own research form websites not target towards revisionist history you would understand.
To another part of the Web now, the SITE Intelligence Group has made a business out of monitoring jihadist websites and chat rooms. Al-Qaida has used those websites in the past to release statements to followers.
Rita Katz is the executive director of SITE and we called on her to find out what has been posted on those jihadist websites since the news broke that Osama bin Laden is dead. Rita Katz, welcome. Thanks for being with us.
Ms. RITA KATZ (Executive Director, SITE Intelligence Group): Thank you.
BLOCK: And you have translations of what you've been reading. What's the overall tone of the postings today? Are you seeing a common thread?
Ms. KATZ: Well, in general, the jihadi forum members have expressed a gamut of reactions to bin Laden's death, ranging from outright denial to lamenting acceptance. Messages for jihad are still filling the message boards. A lot of members are calling for revenge, calling for attacks on – right in front of the White House, where all the celebrations were taking place.

I lean that he was killed because
1) Pakistan wouldn't be so mad if it was a lesser known terrorist.
2) Why would US use a stealth helicopter on a no name?
3)Osama would have made an appearance that same day to prove he is still alive.
Just my opinion. Aside from all of this, I believe Obama and gang rushed to get the story out before getting all the facts straight.

Yeah I was thinking the same, what website and who was the individual who made this statement. If Al-Zawahiri was to come out with a video I would be a bit more convinced by this claim that they have confirmed his death.

So, i've been wanting to write about this but have been holding back because this post is going to be a tear-jerker, well, for me (at least). Judging at the title, were you guessing that this post was a romantic post narrating about my love-life? Hmm, almost there! Now, I shall reveal …
*To fill up the emotions, you may want to listen to this playlist while reading, just like what I did while typing this and sniffing into tissues*
The only man who'd walk into my bedroom every single morning just to say I'm beautiful.
The only man who'd remind me how gorgeous I am.
The only man who'd repeat himself how much he loves me, everyday.
The only man who I share ALL my (dirty little) secrets with.
The only man who loves me even at my worst/ugliest state.
The only man who'd sacrifice the last piece of ham/sausage/meat, for me.
The only man who always boost my self confidence.
The only man with the warmest cuddly (smelly) hugs when i'm depressed(or not).
The only man who'll chase me around the room just to give me a kiss.
The only man who could afford giving REAL HAPPINESS to me.
The only man who'd tell me that I'M PERFECT, when nobody is.
The only 2 men who'd defend me when i'm being scolded by my mom.
This man, is my eldest brother; The best thing in life that has ever happened to me.
In Chinese, we have saying which is 'A father is the lover of his daughter in the past life.'
But in this case, i'm here to prove that my brother was probably the lover of my past life.#LOL
うちのお兄ちゃんが前に「お前が恋人じゃなくて残念だ!」「お前みたいな彼女がほしい!まあ、俺の妹になったのも悪くないけど、来世で恋人にろう!」って言った!!面白いね。まだ一緒に住んでる時に、毎朝、兄ちゃんが私の部屋に来て、「ね、何でそんなにかわいいの?」とか「何でそんなに綺麗なの?」って言ってきたwww お兄ちゃんはね、いつも「i love you baby」って、なんか、きもいぃ!!!www
I know we don't look alike, cuz i got it from my pretty grandmomma!!
Since a very young age, because my brothers and I were living abroad and we were all scattered everywhere, we don't really live together. We were living with different guardians, and meet only once in very few months. But even that, nothing was hailing us from having a good relationship with each other. Instead, the bond with my brothers were so strong. We're UNSTOPPABLE! And then we grew up, our distance got even further. Japan, America, Indonesia, Taiwan. Thanks to the new technology, we could at least see each other, virtually. We meet only for a good period of time in a few years. Then, after he graduated, he moved back, and we lived happily ever after.
No, this is not the end of the story yet.
Lets do a brief introduction of this man, who's also my greatest inspiration and idol.
At the age of 28, He's already the CEO of his 5-year-old company, Touchten.
Lately, he was awarded as the Forbes Indonesia's 20 rising global stars!
You can read more about Touchten here:
'Being the first Indonesian gaming company that receives capital from an international investor, we demonstrate that Indonesia is starting to get recognized in this new industry.' –Anton Soeharyo, CEO of Touchten.
I've never seen anyone who holds such passion in his job. Not only does he holds the passion for himself, he also spreads this positive vibes to his co-workers! He's such a happy boss that every time I visit his office, it's always filled with laughters and fun! As humble as he is, even though he's the CEO of the company, unlike other CEOs, he does NOT have his own place/seat. He shares it with his co-workers! When i questioned him, "why don't you have your own seat? You're the CEO.", his answer was, "Nah, I don't need it. I treat everyone equally. We don't divide each other into different classes."
Now that's what i'm talking about! You go bro!
And so…
A month ago,
it was his wedding.
He got married to the most beautiful bride i've ever met.
I was never the type of girl who believes in true love. I always thought that it was some sort of fairytale that will never exist. And, what I believe that in this reality world, everyone is judgmental. We are all visual creatures who only care about the packaging. Who cares for inner beauty nowadays? This was also the reason why i'm super unconfident about myself. I always blamed myself for not being perfect.
But, my brother proved me wrong. True beauty comes from within.
My brother and his wife had gone through a relationship of 8 years, with half of it being long-distanced.
But they managed all the way to their marriage. I always asked my sis-in-law, what is the major thing that made her loved my brother for so long? I always thought that she was that beautiful, there would be so many guys wooing after her. And, my brother, who's just average looking, was chosen. Her answer was, he cherishes her. His humor is always making people around him happy. He's very positive. He never gets mad with her, not even a single time. Always patient, at all times.
The way my brother gazes at his wife, the way he talks to her, frankly, i was always jealous. #fml
I have never seen anyone who could actually treasure his lover so much.
As a person who doesn't believe in true love, this was nearly impossible, to me.
I always feel that 90% of men only think with what they have down there. I don't mean to be offensive. Or just because, I haven't met the right person who could love me like how my brother loves his wife.
A letter for my beloved brother,
Dear niichan,
I'm really thankful that I have someone like you in my life. You're the best thing since….Yakiniku.
You brought so many laughters to me, gave me an abundant amount of happiness. To be frank, now that you're married, i'm actually… sad. I'm happy for you, but, i'm sad for myself. No more quality time, no more fun night outs, no more movie dates, no more…you….. I mean, you're still you but you don't belong to me anymore…. :'( I wish I could turn back time, and have all the fun we had together once again. I don't know if I'll ever find someone who'll love me and cherish me as much as you do. Thanks for being my mentor of life, and mentor of love. Lol. Even though you're annoying sometimes, even though I hate it when you always matchmake me with your friends, even though you love to force slimy kisses on my hands,cheeks,forehead, even though I don't always say I love you, but, I DO. I LOVE YOU. Like I love yakiniku. No, maybe a littler better than that. Yea. I think so.
Congratulations on your wedding. You're now the King of the family. Your duty will be heavier as the time goes. You're the man of your wife, and will be the father of her children. I know you'll do great. Because, you always are.
No matter what happens, no matter how apart we are, remember, you'll always have me by your side, virtually or not. I would be giving you endless support. I will be lending you an ear whenever you have anything to say. I will offer you a shoulder to lie on when you're tired of everything. I will give you the warmest hug.
I don't know if I will ever find a guy who will love and cherish me like you do. Will I ever…?
I love you, truly.
Love from Tokyo,
Your baby sis.
Stay tune for the wedding ceremony post!
To Be Continued……
Good luck,
Have a sweet day!

The highly popular Fisher-Price Deluxe Newborn Rock 'N Play Sleeper, Snugabunny is back down to the lowest price on Amazon which is $59.97 (Reg $74.99). This version wasn't around when I got mine so I have the original yellow version. It was a major lifesaver. We used it for travel and naps and it is the reason I got to shower every day. My baby was always comfy and happy in it. I have a friend whose baby has major acid reflux and she said the Rock 'n Play is really helping with that. I highly recommend it to all expecting moms!
Note: If you are concerned because there was a Rock 'n Play recall, the recall was regarding a mold issue and this is a new version that makes it easier to clean in order to avoid mold. (We never had any mold issues)
- New version is now even easier to clean
- Fashioned with the adorable Snugabunny design

Migrant Education is a federally funded program designed to respond to the educational and health needs of migrant children. It is an addition to the supplemental services students already receive and is provided for all children through their school districts.
The program is authorized under Part C of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended.
The program is in addition to the supplemental services the students already receive through school districts, many of them serving rural areas, like Dixon Unified, which has about 3,500 students on seven campuses. Dixons program serves more than 100 7th through 12th graders plus another nearly 100 students at a Dixon migrant development center. (See full story above)
The federal dollars pay for education programs for migratory children and help ensure that, while moving among the states or to another country, such as Mexico, they are not penalized in any manner by differences among different curriculums, graduation requirements and student achievement standards. The money also pays for children who need supportive services to meet special needs, to make sure they have the same opportunities and are able to reach the same achievement standards that all children are expected to meet.
The federal money is given to state departments of education, based on each states per-pupil expenditure for students ages 3 to 21 who live within the state. The money pays for teaching, including remedial instruction, bilingual and multicultural instruction, vocational training, career education services, special guidance, preschool services, and counseling and testing services.
The programs goal is to make sure that all migrant students reach the same standards as traditional students, graduate with a high school diploma (or meet General Educational Development, or GED, requirements), preparing them for responsible citizenship, additional learning and gainful employment.

Обо мне

I really don't like to introduce myself in some words. I rather let you to get know me in person. It's much more interesting, isn't it? Anyway you can get some classified informations about me if you read the references below...:) I think CSers jugded me quite well so far.
I can't keep in mind all the good philosophy what I've ever heard, but there is one thing what is ground for my life. It's that I'm incorrigible optimistic.:)
Что привело меня на Couchsurfing
As I grew up since I am on CS (no worries I am still a child in soul) I've got a lot of other priorities too, others than CS. So I was not as active in the CS community recently as earlier, but my life is still quite involved with it, so I keep on hosting, surfing and going on meetings as often as I can.:)
Create your own visitor map!
I met incredible nice and amazing people trough CS, some of them became true friend. Do you know better like this?? I experienced both side of the CS and I absolutely love every single moment what I can get through those experiences. CS gave me the opportunity to travel around Europe, but it just not enough, I want to explore the other continents too... And when I can't travel the world is visiting me at home by CSers.
I'm just open to the world. Anything can come what entertain me. Sometimes I can surprise myself what strange things I find interesting.
- traveling
- surfing
Музыка, кино и книги
More or less everything what can make me happy or cry. Could write a long list, but this will be a good starting topic when we meet in person.;)
Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)
The whole world what I can see trough CS eyes.:)
Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией
You will get a piece from my life, you can decide then what you can or want to learn from it. Learning? Teach me anything, I'll be glad!:)

Companies are paying hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars each year to invest in cybersecurity. The threat is very real and as we've seen from the Sony email hack, Target security breach, and countless other examples, the risks could be astronomical once the system is compromised.
Earlier on Fox Business, Princeton Capital Management Chairman Alfred Berkeley and Security First Corp. CEO Mark O'Hare joined Maria Bartiromo to discuss cybersecurity protection and a potential solution that is both effective and significantly more cost efficient than what's currently being done on the market.

An LLC is a limited liability company, while a company with the word "Inc." means that the business is incorporated. While LLCs share similar features with corporations, they have more operational flexibility.Continue Reading
An LLC is allowed to pass on a percentage of its profits to personal tax returns, whereas an incorporated business can either file taxes as a business or have the shareholders pay taxes on any dividends they receive. Compared to LLCs, corporations have more record-keeping requirements to adhere to, such as having a ledger that thoroughly describes how vital decisions are reached. The voting records of corporation directors and shareholders also have to be kept. LLCs aren't required to hold meetings every year, nor do they have to draw up detailed financial statements.
Either non-members or actual members of the company can tend to the day-to-day activities of an LLC, which gives members the ability to oversee the company. Incorporated businesses have to be run by shareholders, directors, employees and officers. Corporation owners don't manage the company like officers do, and directors have to improve shareholder profits and properly utilize company resources.
LLCs are prohibited from issuing stock to increase capital, nor are they allowed an initial public offering that permits public investment in the company. Corporations are allowed to go public, and they can also have multiple stock classes for increasing company funds.Learn more about Corporations

You're probably aware that almost every website you visit tracks your behaviour in one way or another.
This post looks at which third-party tracking technologies the UK's largest news sites use.
Almost every commercial site uses some sort of tracking technology. For example, here's a screengrab of an Econsultancy page, using the 'Ghostery' chrome plugin to show which third party technologies the page uses.
What's often surprising though is the sheer number of 'bugs' used by sites. News sites in particular are often packed with different tools to help them achieve ad revenue.
Here's a chart showing the 68 different tracking technologies used across 10 of the UK's largest news sites. The chart shows:
- Which tracking technologies each site uses.
- How many tracking tools each individual news site uses in total. (at the foot of the chart)
- Which are the most popular tracking technologies across the group of 10 sites. (totals are to the right of the chart)
Wherever a pink 'Y' appears, that indicates the news site has that particular tracking technology present on their site.
Chart: UK News Sites & The Tracking Technologies They Use
Top five newspapers using most tracking tools
- 1st Place: The Guardian wins the award for most tracking technologies, with 29 different tools.
- 2nd: The Daily Star (a newspaper I'd all but forgotten about) claim 2nd, with 26 tracking technologies.
- 3rd: The Express has 25 different tracking tools active.
- Joint 4th: The Sun and The Telegraph are in joint 4th, with 24 tracking technologies each.
- Honourable Mention: The BBC News was the only entry in single figures, using only Maxymiser.
Top five tracking technologies
- DoubleClick, Google's display technology, is number 1, present on 9 of the 10 sites.
- Scorecard Research Beacon - this is a tracking/benchmarking tool from Full Circle, a market research agency. Present on 8 sites.
- Audience Science - (formerly 'Revenue Science'), a data-centric digital media company. Present on 7 sites.
- Google Analytics - interesting to see that almost all of these huge media sites use Google Analytics, many alongside other web analytics tools. Present on 7 sites.
- NetRatings SiteCensus - another market research/benchmarking tool from Nielsen. Present on 7 sites.
Data caveats
Of course, there are always caveats in data like this, so I thought it fair to point a few out:
- Not all tracking technologies are equal. Some do little more than count a page load; others link your behaviour across the web to serve ads based on what you do.
- All of this data was collected manually, and so is unlikely to be comprehensive. I tried to maintain consistency however by going to each site and looking at the homepage, a news category, and an individual news item. As a result, though not everything will show up here, the results should be 'consistently inaccurate'. As just one example, The Guardian's jobs site uses other technologies not present on the main news site - those have not been included here.
- All data was collected from the UK, while not logged into any of these sites. It's probable that some of these sites use different tools in different regions, and that other technologies may be used once you log in.
- I haven't included The Times - among others - due to it being almost completely paywalled.
Doing this yourself
If you'd like to keep an eye on who's tracking you as you browse round the web, 'Ghostery' is a brilliant Chrome/Firefox plugin for doing this.
In Chrome the 'Resources' & 'Network' tools help with this too (hit ctrl+shift+i and choose either of these tabs, or command+shift+c on a mac).
Your thoughts
What do you think about this? Were you surprised by all of these tracking technologies? Or that The Guardian was top & BBC News last?
And - do you think this will continue as-is after the 'Cookie Law' grace period ends?
Comments (20)
Does this mean the bbc doesn't need to know what is and isn't working for them? (due to the unique way they are funded :))
This is what the BBC lists including third party cookies:
The BBC News probably uses a proprietary tracking system that logs things on their own servers and tracks it from there (through the BBC-UID and BGUID cookies in the table that Kevin linked to).
That's not to say that they don't use third party tracking software to do the analysis.
Odd, spent about 40 minutes trying to find scorecard tracking on a number of sites that I visted, frequently it was hidden within ShareThis tracking and others, I am wondering if this is hidden on some of the other sites, I can't for example find it on the Express and have been rooting through for a while, but Ghostery is a great find!
I am wondering how many things are even unknown to publishers as I am fairly confident a client using ShareThis buttons wasn't aware of this additional tracking and the possible implications when it comes to end user privacy.
hi, everyone, thanks for the comments!
Interestingly, I took a look at the BBC news site from abroad too and ADTECH, AdSense and a few others are all present. Interesting that they don't mention those in the cookie policy, or that Maxymiser isn't in the UK. Perhaps a little out of date?
I find scorecard research beacon called here for example: http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/309556/Budget-2012-Osborne-cuts-top-rate-of-tax-to-45p-but-leaves-pensioners-out-of-pocket . They seem to call it in via a script called 'front.asp' that sits on their own server.
Great spot on ShareThis - I hadn't noticed that. It seems Scorecard Research is used by comScore, and comScore have had ShareThis implement it across the massive range of sites where they're present. (this is based purely on the tone of things here: http://forums.sharethis.com/topic.php?id=3321 ).
A very good point - I bet you're right and it won't even occur to most site owners that their third parties may be pulling in things from additional third parties too.
@dan barker ...The bbc's policies on advertising and tracking differ for non-UK users. The content that you will see from abroad is the international version. Users in the UK see a different set of cookies, tracking etc.
@Dwayne - thanks, Dwayne. If you take a look at their Privacy policy (linked to by Kevin above) they specifically split out UK/non-UK.
It has separate sections for the UK & international, but neither seems fully up to date, as 'Maxymiser' (a tool they seem to use in the UK) is not mentioned, and 'AdSense', 'ADTECH' (etc) aren't mentioned in the international policy.
I'd be interested in finding out what these publishers stance is with regards to the new ICO cookie policy laws. We only have a few on the sites we look after and it's proving a real headache to come to a sensible solution.
There is another FF add-on called Krux Inspector (http://goo.gl/IVfvs) which shows you the relationships between the cookies; so who ushered in who.
In most instances is it the SSP that is bring with it a number of other cookies.
I have just looked at the Daily Star site and have seen the longest chain of collectors I have ever seen; 46 collection events from one ad call!

Hi Dan, Great insight in to what's being used. Thanks for the recommendation to use Ghostery, very handy.
Do you know if any of these sites have done anything to comply with the EU Cookie Law? It could be a minefield for those with a lot of tracking on their sites!
Hi, Anna! How are you?
There was nothing re cookie compliance on any site aside from the usual Privacy policies. I did notice a few of these are now named 'privacy & cookie policy' - eg the Daily Mail's at http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/article-1388040/Privacy-Policy--Cookies.html
My bet is most will remain as-is until someone else moves.
What do you think?
@Clive - thanks very much or that - I hadn't seen Krux - very useful!
And yes - I was surprised by the Daily Star too - especially as (as I said) I'd largely forgotten they even existed. I never see them cropping up in natural search results, etc.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the reply Dan, I'm starting to worry about the Cookie Law!
I'm very surprised not one of them has done anything other than review their Privacy page. The Daily Mail's looks pretty informative but I didn't think that was enough? I'm of the understanding that it has to be opt in.
There's not long to go till the grace period is over and I don't know whether there's going to be a crack down once it is, but I would have thought they'd be worrying about it. Surely no one would want to tempt fate when the fine could be half a million pounds? Obviously that's for a very serious breach but any fine is likely to more expensive than implementing a solution. Although, solutions may lose money as you don't have all the information you need to optimise your site effectively, it's something everyone is going to have to weigh up soon.
Hi Dan
Great article - I'm sure we chatted about this at the eConsultancy Xmas party!
Just looking at the BBC cookie page and it's interesting to see they list Omniture, ComScore, GA, DoubleClick and others as technologies that are used on the site. Do you think this is to do with Maxymiser's dom manipulation or just that Ghostery can't see everything all the time?
@Rob - thanks very much. We probably did - I remember us talking about the telegraph & the cookie law, prior to your robust assertion that Sergei Rachmaninoff's technique was determined entirely by his physical stature.
I'm abroad at the moment, and so the BBC site has all sorts of different stuff going on from here. Did you spot Clive Page's recommendation of 'Krux Inspector'? That might give the answer.
@Anna - Yes, it has to be 'explicit consent' except where the cookies are 'strictly necessary' for the function/maintenance of the website. The ICO guidelines also say that analytics is not considered a strictly necessary function, but they also heavily hint that they'll turn a blind eye to Google Analytics. (this is off the top of my head - best to read the guidelines themselves rather than trust me!)
I've done a few informal polls around the cookie law and the vast, overwhelming response is "wait and see".
I suppose many are doing the calculation "likelihood of getting a fine x likely amount of fine" and comparing that against "cost of implementation + likely lost business now + likely lost future business through worse marketing/user experience", along with all the bits around giving business to competitors. Or perhaps they just don't know what to do & how to do it? Things are complicated enough as it is.
What do you think? What are you advising your clients?
I agree with the calculation people will be doing! That and not having a clue and not wanting to end up disadvantaged.
You're right that they do hint they will turn a blind eye to analytics:
"Provided clear information is given about their activities we are highly unlikely to prioritise first party cookies used only for analytical purposes in any consideration of regulatory action."
I'm still looking in to the best solution, there are a lot of contradictions in the guidelines and I'm no lawyer!
It's interesting that the BBC showed the lowest number of tracking technologies. This may be an indication of the policies and standards they operate to.
If there are clear policies on the adding of tracking technology, then there is also likely to be less put in place.
As for the cookies legislation, I'm seeing that some sites are taking the first step to get their house in order by publishing their cookie detail.
As has been picked up in this thread already, the challenge is to keep it updated as the tracking technology is added or removed.
As for further permission based solutions, I think everyone is waiting for some further clarity.
@ALL In case you haven't seen I've just posted an article on Econsultancy's 'solution' to the EU Directive at http://econsultancy.com/blog/9453-econsultancy-s-solution-to-eu-e-privacy-directive-compliance

Not running Windows Server 2008 SP2 with Hyper-V? Well
Hi, Isaac Roybal here. Its been over two weeks since the release of Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2) and were seeing great adoption. From a Hyper-V point of view, were excited because the final Hyper-V release is an integrated feature in SP2 making it easier and faster to deploy Hyper-V. If you recall, when Windows Server 2008 was released, Hyper-V Beta was included. This meant to get the final Hyper-V release, you needed to go to Windows Update, download and go through the update process.
With Windows Server 2008 SP2, Hyper-V final bits are included so theres no need to pull down individual downloads which speeds up deployments. There are also some notable updates in SP2, including scalability enhancements for running on systems with up to 24 logical processors which enables support for up to 192 running virtual machines, update for Hyper-V when managed with System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 and updates for backup/restore of virtual machines with the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).
For those of you who have already deployed Hyper-V, SP2 is a simple upgrade. Here are a couple of top-of-mind things to think about when youre planning your fresh install or upgrade to SP2:
· In-place upgrades of Windows Server 2008 to Windows Server 2008 SP2 is supported for both the parent partition and child VMs.
o If youre still running the Beta version of Hyper-V (which you shouldnt J) you need to upgrade to RTM (apply KB950050) before installing SP2
o If the Hyper-V role was enabled on the parent partition prior to the upgrade to SP2 it will be automatically enabled once the upgrade is completed.
o Uninstall any prerelease versions of SP2 that might be installed.
· If a fresh SP2 install is being done and youd like to move VMs to it, export the VMs from the originating Windows Server 2008 host and import them on the SP2 host.
· Integration Components (ICs) for the child virtual machines must be updated to the SP2 version.
o If youre doing a fresh install or an upgrade of SP2 on the parent partition, it does not update the integration components inside the virtual machine. Be sure to update the VM ICs after SP2 is installed.
o If you have virtual machines created on the Beta version of the Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V role, and you installed the Beta version of the integration components on those machines, you must uninstall the integration components and reinstall the latest SP2 integration components.
o If you do an upgrade to SP2 inside the child VM the IC are automatically upgraded.
o If you are running an older operating system, you need to use vmguest.iso to upgrade the integration services.

I've been using it for the last month or two and very pleased. It feels more stable to me. I just enabled 'Desktop Experience' feature and the theme service and BAM, I have a (more stable) version of Windows 7.

Posted by Karen Slash, on Bedrooms category. February 19th, 2016
Bedroom chandeliers are lamp for adorning bedroom's ceiling. For standard house, indeed this chandelier provision is really important and it must be presented to increase beauty of room. Actually, it is installed not only in bedroom's ceiling but also in living room and usually, we discover it in living room mostly.
Besides it is functioned as adornment, because of lamp it is utilized to give brightness of room at night. More precisely, there are many advantages which we can be so glad in enjoying our life whether we purchase a chandelier and then install on the ceiling of bedroom. There are two kinds of light owned by this furniture, namely bright light and romantic light, so we must determine exact selection based on our need in daily life. If we do not supply another lamp besides chandelier, we are expected to choose the bright light in order that we do not get darkness and conversely.
Based on Size
In this part, this lamp is created in many sizes consisting of small, medium, and big; definitely we must suit to condition of bedroom. It is impossible whether we force to set big chandelier on small bedroom, as the result this room will seem narrower and for this solution, we are hoped to pick small size of lamp for small room. On the contrary, we should take big lamp for great bedroom in the hope that this room does not appear empty or blank.
Based form
Beauty of room is also determined by form or model of furniture; in this matter, we recently discuss what chandelier is and afterwards we are going to recognize various fabulous models such as cone, flower, candle, hat, crystal, brass and half squash. In addition to that, this furniture is also available in many colors like as black and white, so we can be absolutely pleased since we have several choices regarding to variant of this stuff.
Based on style
Fundamentally, form or models above are decided on presented style and as we know, nowadays classic and modern styles are categorized as outstanding styles. Even though the most people relish something modern, presence of classic furniture is still admired by a lot of people on account of they suppose that they manage to bring about uniqueness in decoration.
It can be concluded that our dream to have adorable chamber will be achievable by applying idea of installing chandelier which is suited to real situation of this room itself and we are not allowed to carry out something which does not match anymore. Hence, looking for information about size, form, and style of this furniture before doing installation is very significant in such a way that we can derive the best.

Welcome to our first week of DYSS's 6 Weeks of Holiday DIY! DIY Stocking Hangers!
Each week, through to the second week in December we will be bringing you handpicked DIY projects to get you right to where you need to be with your holiday decor… And each week will link up to the others, so if you miss one, it's ok… just jump in anywhere and pick and choose the projects that work for you.
So to start you off, one of the things I hate "making do" with is stocking hangers. Little cup hooks and 3M command hooks are great for hanging things when you can't see them, but whatever hangs the DIY stockings (next week, btw!) is on full display. So try these DIY stocking hanger projects, so that when the time comes to hang those beauties, you are all prepared!
Before we get started though, I wanted to share a fun smart phone app I just found… It's a Christmas Countdown, and you can personalize it as well… Check it out here at the iTunes store… Anything to make a little holiday magic, and help us get into the spirit!
Our first project from 'Scissors and Spatulas' is the perfect example of stocking hangers you cannot get in a store… I love these! Old worldly feeling, and the vintage door knobs just makes you think of little children all tucked in their beds! Now, she uses a vinyl cutter to create the letters, but you could just put together vinyl letters from the craft store… Or better yet, use a paint pen and do it by hand.
Becky at 'Beyond the Picket Fence' blog has a tutorial for this easy DIY stocking holder made from scrap wood. I love this option because a lot of smaller homes don't have a mantel, and this project doesn't need one!
Another no mantle stocking solution from 'Listfully Blissful', this is another easy project for those of us without a mantel to hang stockings from!
This is a gorgeous diy stocking hangers project. 'Home Depot' has a tutorial for this DIY rustic stocking holder. This is a dual purpose project… it not only holds the stockings, it gives you a container to style holiday fun as well!
The last one we have for you is from 'Southern Lovely', and I love this stocking holder! It's so personal, and I think I would use a baby or toddler pic for each child and leave it, so as they grow, I'll be reminded of when Christmas was so magical for them! And for when they are teens, to remind me not to strangle them. They were cute once. And will be again, I swear! ;) Or, you can switch out the photos each year…
So that wraps up week one of our 6 Weeks of Holiday DIY, DIY Stocking Hangers! Coming next week, DIY Christmas Stockings!
Know any great Christmas apps, websites, or planning sites to help us all get, and keep our holiday act together? Share in comments! Please only share quality info folks, any spam will be moderated out… Thanks for sharing with all our readers!

Trade Paperback

Harvest House Publishers
Review | Author Bio | Read an Excerpt
In her latest release, The Bathtub Is Overflowing, But I Feel Drained, Lysa TerKeurst tells women who suffer from mommy stress what to do when theyre running on empty. TerKeursts disclaimer is that her book will not answer every question about being a mom, but she affirms, I can promise youll look at your role (after reading the book) with a soul that feels refreshed.
This transparent author suggests the same remedies she applies to herself: refill your heart, refuel your approach, and renew your perspective. As president of Proverbs 31 Ministries, TerKeurst doesnt point a finger at the female reader who feels drained. Instead, she points out her own shortages of patience and perspective with her five children for the purpose of showing how Christ, if we let Him, can creatively restore us.
TerKerust says that learning to embrace the calling of motherhood with joy will shape the generations that come after. This wont be accomplished, she says, by being a slave to the tyranny of the urgent. Her frustration, for example, of spying 14 pairs of misplaced shoes around the house one day couldve drained her, TerKeurst admits. She chose, instead, to see the treasure of what each pair of smelly shoes representedsome pretty amazing people.
Far from taking a Pollyanna approach to life, TerKeurst invites the reader to pull back the veil and peek behind the messes, chores, and faults of others. On the other hand, she believes it takes everyone, including the kids, to get things back into their place. As long as the TerKerust family doesnt mind finding itself on the bookstore shelf, it is well worth your while to pull off a copy and spend some time reading the wisdom and comedy shared here. And, you dont even have to be a mom who feels drained to enjoy it. Cheryl A. Cecil, Christian Book Previews.com

The divine salad of democracy is no more a gospel truth.Rather,it is a lip service to a vast, competitive world of habituated self interest.The Communists who I disagree with most of the times today are fighting for survival. The dreaded Marxian theorists seemed be a last zebra crossing before the engine garners the speed.The theory of corporate control now seems to be a regular convocation for the NGO's and the left of centre enthusiasts.
The rise of corp-orates has been not an invisible spectacle.Rather as consumerism has exceeded public expectations,more have we fallen into the traps of umbrage of the lord. The politicians as Vinod Mehta said are easy to attack.However the Tatas of the land, have always somehow saved themselves from the popular or journalistic scepticism. As farmers kick the bucket, the KG Oil Basin seems to flow the crores into a over-reliant purse.
But how grave and how stereo typed is this proportion of injustice. The subaltern school of thought always believed that History is essentially of the privileged,by the privileged and for the privileged.They believe that the reality of a civilisation has always been determined by the kings and queens,emperors and empresses, Hitler and Churchill. The Kalinga war of 261 B.C is in many ways related unilaterally to Ashoka and the effect it had on his mind and soul and heart.
The proposition of the oligarchy deciding the fate of the country dates back to the Akbarian period. A small coterie has always been utilised to denote the connotation whether democracy or mixed authoratative structure is the right composure required to run a state and engine a country.The media has become more professional,more prone to advertisement and BREAKING NEWS. Well times change and with that change the colour and the rule book of a sport.
But the media has also taken a downward dive-a cruise towards sycophancy and patron worshipping. The India Today group has had the share of Anil Ambani. According to a moneylife.in report suspense continues over the ownership of the NDTV. (Markandey Katju shared the post yesterday on FB). It is said that Mukesh Ambani had given an interest free loan to Prannoy and Radhika Roy at the 2008-09 period when the group was fighting a financial crisis.
Manoj Modi,the left and the right of Ambani senior almost single handedly ensured that Network 18 loses its editor in chief. The sin of the senior journalist. He stood erect in front of pressure from the upper storeys when the lord wanted the Google hangout with Arvind Kejriwal dropped. Kejriwal also seems to understand that attacking the lobbyists and challenging the extra constitutional or rather super constitutional authorities is not a suave dream. Chandrababu Naidu and KCR forgetting their differences seem to grease when Anil Ambani sends them a date…..
The successive Governments have also shown their apathy and their desire to catch hold of the big bucks which the wealthy easily and quite deceptively offer. "Congress to ab apna dukaan hain"-this is what we heard Mr. Mukesh Ambani speak during the infamous Radia tapes controversy. Well Ranjan Bhattacharya,the son in law of Vajpayee-essentially a power penetrator in Lutyen's Delhi was the man Ambani was speaking to.
Paranjoy Guha Thakurta,eminent economist who passed out of Delhi School of Economics authored Gas Wars-a book which reflected at the murky business of gas and dubious business concerning national resources. The book not only penetrated the significance of how kith and kin was of little use when cutting deals,it also showed the catastrophe which awaits such blatant high handedness. Thakurta,need I say received a legal notice from the Mumbai Indian ex-officio franchise?
The Tatas who have risen from the idea of self rule and swadeshi have also featured in the Singur Fiasco and the Radia jingo. The media barons who seem to be taking onto the role of mini oligarchs nowadays are boiling the same oil. Media,hospitality,airports,agro sector,industry,social security and national security-all seem to follow a same line of belief-the belief of the big pockets. The neo colonial era it seems has drunk into massive beer. Its time we serve him some nimboo pani. Oligarchy and democracy,as idealist as I may sound never gel together. Don't jail a thief for a theft of 500 note,because what is going on is loot to say the least….
