How long does it take to get clean in the shower? Is it 10 minutes? Did you know that a 10 minutes shower with a standard shower head can use upwards of 80 gallons of water and generate up to 4 pounds of CO2 emissions? That is not including the energy used to heat the water, unless of course you have solar hot water.
By installing a low flow showerhead and cutting your shower time to 5 minutes you can reduce your water usages and the CO2 emissions by 70-80% savings thousands of gallons of water and hundreds of pounds of CO2 emissions a year.
To get started, spend a week just measuring how long the showers you take last. We used a simple kitchen timer and a piece of paper taped to the bathroom wall. Then try to reduce that to 5 minutes. Once you start measuring your showers, it may be hard to not reduce their time. Don't worry if you start taking shorter showers right away, that's the goal anyways.
Alicia and I discovered some amusing things about our showers. Before we started tracking them, we both thought that I was taking the the longer showers and she was taking the shorter ones. It turns out that I was averaging around 6 minute showers and she was closer to 8 minute showers, both of which are under the 10-15 minute average shower time in the US. Now we're down to around 4 minutes for me and just over 5 minutes for her. Be sure to have fun doing this or you'll stop. A little friendly competition can be fun!
If you need help finding a good low flow shower head, check with your local hardware store or go online to EFI and check out our easy step by step instruction on installing a low flow showerhead.
They are very easy to install and can save tons of water – literally – 250 gallons of water weighs 1 ton. The standard for low flow showerheads is 2.5 gallons per minute or less and many go as low as 1.6 gallons per minute. That is a major improvement over the 5-8 gallons per minute for the older variety. If you've tried them in the past and hated them, give them a second chance. Like many of the other energy efficiency technologies, low-flow showerheads have greatly improved over the last ten years. Of course, like any product, there are good and bad low-flow showerheads and not all are created equal.
Happy Greening!
Another great tip in the shower is to train your hair to not need washing everyday.

A dōjutsu kekkei genkai notably possessed by Ranmaru which, when activated, causes his eyes to glow red in color. It grants him abilities such as penetrative vision as well as the ability to hinder other dōjutsu such as the Byakugan which his own dōjutsu has been likened to.
This dōjutsu grants the wielder many abilities that include penetrating vision, disruption of other dōjutsu, and unique healing through life-force energy manipulation.
With his kekkei genkai, Ranmaru has the ability to see and hear things from long distances. With this ability, Ranmaru was able penetrate the walls of his shack to view the outside world. Although the range of his kekkei genkai is similar to the range of the Byakugan, it actually has the ability to counter and negate that trait. His abilities also allow him to perform irresistible genjutsu, which can fool even the "all-seeing" Byakugan. Ranmaru's vision also lets him locate and track others by sensing chakra, picking up chakra from long distances, and noticing changes in an individual's chakra. It is also able to sense how many individuals are present.
Ranmaru's vision has heightened perception and analytical powers, similar to those of the Sharingan, meaning he can comprehend any details he sees. When first encountering Raiga, Ranmaru was able to read his thoughts to determine what was ailing him. He can also see one's life force, which he can use to predict the opponent's next move or tell if someone was alive. In addition to this, Ranmaru is able transfer part of his own life force to completely heal someone who is mostly dead.

|Bail pleas rejected in explosives case
|[Dawn] The Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
High Court on Thursday dismissed bail petitions of two suspects charged by the local police with possessing huge quantity of detonators and chemicals used in manufacturing of explosives.
A single-bench of Chief Justice Dost Mohammad Khan observed that the suspects, including Asif Islam and Toti Khan, did not deserve to be freed on bail keeping in view the evidence on record.
The suspects were locked away
Please don't kill me!
by police on Dec 5, 2012 after a raid on a warehouse in Chamkani area. The police alleged that during the raid they had recovered 267 sacks of potassium chloride, which could be used in explosives, 10 packets each of detonators and remote controls and 96 bundles of safety fuses.
Counsel for the petitioners stated that Asif Islam was owner of the warehouse and Toti Khan its watchman. He said that Asif had rented out his property to two persons named Qari Faizur Rehman and Naqibullah and they had been using it as a junkyard. He stated that the petitioners had nothing to do with the items stored therein.
He contended that a third suspect in the case was arrested by the police, but he was not mentioned in the record.
The state counsel argued that the petitioners could not produce any rent deed to prove that the warehouse was rented out.
During arguments, the chief justice observed that Afghan refugees had been bringing sophisticated weapons, explosives, etc to this province in the guise of exporting scrap. He observed that the government had not been taking any action in this regard which had resulted in increase in acts of sabotage.
...back at the buffalo wallow, Tex and his new-found Indian friend were preparing a little surprise for the bandidos...
the bench ordered the Frontier Corps (FC) to vacate within three days residence of a family allegedly occupied by it since November last year. The bench also sought explanation from the inspector general of FC and the home department as to why the said residence was occupied.
The bench was hearing a petition filed by one Haji Amal Khan, stating that his extended family comprising 42 persons had been living at the residence spread over 35 kanals here on Bara Road.
His counsel contended that in November last year the FC personnel occupied their house on the pretext of construction of a road in the area and the petitioner's family had now been living in tents.

AF names 2016 GEICO Military Service Award nominees
Release No: 114
Nov. 21, 2016
By Staff Sgt. Alexx Pons
Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs
"JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas" - Air Force Personnel Center officials have nominated four Airmen for the 2016 Government Employees Insurance Company Military Service Award.
The categories and nominees are as follows:
Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Category: Tech. Sgt. Darren Pennington, 22nd Medical Operations Squadron, McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas. Pennington was instrumental in the delivery of $1.5 million in mental health care for the Air Force's largest tanker wing and helped his flight earn the 22nd Medical Group's Team of the Year Award. Additionally, despite a severe manning deficit, Pennington singlehandedly managed 74 percent of the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment Program's workload, which culminated in his earning squadron NCO of the quarter.
Fire Safety and Fire Prevention Category: Master Sgt. Benjamin Powell, 30th Civil Engineer Squadron, Vandenberg AFB, California. Powell completed 1,400 fire and life safety inspections and identified 360 deficiencies, leading to $37 million in upgrade projects that greatly improved fire safety for the Air Force's third largest installation. Additionally, Powell managed a mission-essential space launch tower safety project, ensuring 100 percent compliance with strict fire standards and ultimately enabling seven successful space launches valued at $2.3 billion.
Traffic Safety and Accident Prevention Category: Tech. Sgt. Lee Elam, 325th Fighter Wing, Tyndall AFB, Florida. Elam oversaw the traffic safety program for 10,000 Airmen and families across Tyndall, working tirelessly to revamp the base motorcycle and traffic safety programs. He formed a partnership with the state of Florida Motorcycle Safety Foundation to obtain free rider trainer lessons, which saved the Air Force $56,000 and helped reduced motorcycle mishaps by 40 percent.
Air Force Reserve Command and Air National Guard Category: Tech. Sgt. Amee Espinoza, Total Force Service Center-Denver Operations Division, Buckley AFB, Colorado. Espinoza completed 600 internship hours and aided 32 addicts while pursuing her Addictions Counselor license. She led two victim impact panels and educated 300 offenders on the effects of impaired driving. Espinoza counseled 35 teens in an impatient treatment facility, and provided behavioral interventions. Additionally, she assisted Mothers Against Drunk Driving with helping affected families of alcohol-related accidents by providing 15 on-call counseling hours.
GEICO will select recipients in each category from all nominees submitted by each of the military services, and those recipients will be honored at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., next spring.

Rox agree to ship Vizcaino to Cubs for Marquis
The Rockies are going to swap a relief bust for rotation depth.
The Rockies and Cubs have agreed in principle on a deal that would send Luis Vizcaino to Chicago for starter Jason Marquis, according to multiple baseball sources.
The deal, first reported by ESPN, likely won't become official until next week. The Rockies made the math work to get a starter they have coveted for a month, while removing a setupman who asked to be dealt at season's end after expressing unhappiness with his role.
The Rockies will ship the $4 million remaining on Vizcaino's deal for the $9.875 million left on Marquis' contract. The Cubs are expected to eat around a $1 million on Marquis' contract, leaving the Rockies to pay approximately $5 million for one season of the right-hander.
Chicago, meanwhile, still nets a $5 million savings, crystallizing the motivation for both clubs.
Rockies' general manager Dan O'Dowd could not be immediately reached for comment. He acknowledged interest in Marquis at the winter meetings, but at the time wasn't sure he could make the money fit in his $72-million payroll. Marquis profiles as a fourth or fifth starter. He has had success at Coors Field in limited exposure and went 11-9 with a 4.53 ERA in 29 games last season.
The Rockies have been seeking another starter for weeks, identifying free agent Tim Redding and Marquis as targets.
Vizcaino, 34, was given the richest Rockies' contract ever by a free-agent reliever a year ago – two-year, $8 million — after attempts to re-sign LaTroy Hawkins failed. Vizcaino struggled mightily, never assuming his predicted eighth-inning role. He finished with a 5.28 ERA, with lefties hitting .372 off him with eight home runs. During the last week of the season, he told The Denver Post that he wasn't happy with the way he was used – citing work in mopup duty – and questioned his future with the organization. In late October, he was arrested in Tampa and charged with a misdemeanor DUI.

Green Slime
We've all heard of pink slime. Now, there's green slime too.
Unregulated pollution from farm fields is triggering slimy green blooms of algae around the globe, according to National Geographic. Its story documents how fertilizers that wash off farm fields feed massive growth of algae, setting off chemical chain reactions that create low-oxygen "dead zones" where fish and other aquatic life cannot survive.
Although the Gulf of Mexico's "hypoxia" is among the most notorious dead zones, many of America's rivers, lakes and bays suffer from the effects of fertilizer pollution streaming from farm fields.
In recent weeks, one giant algae bloom scarred the surface of Lake Erie. Every year, Chesapeake Bay suffers from a dead zone caused by polluted runoff. In some cases, certain kinds of algae blooms are a danger to people and pets.
And green slime isn't the only threat that results from fertilizer runoff. A recent study found that nutrient pollution was fouling drinking water in California. And the EPA calls polluted runoff from farm fields one of the leading threats to drinking water supplies all across the country, threatening public health and driving up water treatment costs. EWG's own recent study found that removing nitrate alone from drinking water costs utilities nearly $5 billion a year.
Many farmers are taking steps to use fertilizer with greater care, but most of the farmers who seek help from USDA for their conservation efforts get turned away due a lack of funding.
In recent years, Congress has cut funding for voluntary conservation programs such as USDA's Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), which provide incentives for better management of fertilizers. What's more, Congress has cut funding for programs to install buffer zones and wetlands that can help catch and filter polluted runoff.
Now the House and Senate Agriculture Committees are proposing to cut EQIP, CSP and similar programs even more in the 2013 farm bill in order to help pay for lavish new subsidies for the largest and most successful farm businesses.
A better course would be to place reasonable limits on who can receive crop insurance subsidies and how much they can collect. These common-sense reforms would create a level playing field for family farmers and help protect public health and the environment.

After 10 years of waiting to see the answer to the series' title come to fruition, How I Met Your Mother finally came through. Additionally, in an attempt to prove that a life's worth of story can be told within 60 minutes, creators Carter Bays & Craig Thomas show what all occurred in the many years following the long-awaited, star-crossed meeting – and with it the final twist is revealed.
Robin and Barney divorce; Barney has a child with another woman; Lilly and Marshall are busy with their family; and Robin is alone. That is, until Ted's wife gets sick and ultimately passes away.
As it turns out, the largely mother-free story Ted has been telling his children for all these many years - to us, at least - was never really about meeting their mother; it's how about how much he is in love with Robin. Now, 6 years after his wife's death, Ted's children encourage him to go to Robin and ask her out on a date – and that's exactly what he does.
All in all, How I Met Your Mother used their 2-part finale to wrap-up all of the character's stories many years into the future, while also making sure to include as many familiar references as possible, as to encapsulate the entirety of the series in an extended story that reached further than any fan could have imagined. But did it reach too far?
It's been the love story many years in the making – and the premise of the series actually makes sense now – but did the How I Met Your Mother series finale deliver an ending worth all the time invested?
Let us know what you think in the comments below!
[poll id="784"]
How I Met Your Mother aired September 19, 2005 - March 31, 2014 on CBS.

Brook 'crushed but buoyant' over Alexander bout
Eddie Hearn has said that Kell Brook was "crushed" by the news Devon Alexander might swerve his challenge to the American's IBF world title.
However the promoter still believes the fight will more likely happen than not, and is hopeful of fixing a new date later this week.
On Tuesday, Floyd Mayweather Jr claimed Alexander, who, on Monday, pulled out of a February 23 date with Brook because of injury, is the front runner to fight him on May 4 in Las Vegas.
But with the fight contract between the 26-year-old Brook and Alexander, 25, having been signed, choosing to fight Mayweather next would mean the Missouri fighter vacating his IBF title.
Alexander (24-1) has not clarified his intentions and Hearn is willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he has a genuine bicep injury. Brook (29-0) had to postpone the fight himself from January to February through an ankle injury.
But if reports of Alexander's switch are true, Hearn says he will stop at nothing to ensure his client gets a career-defining fight against a different opponent.
"The news had crushed him [Brook] but he's buoyant and I have told him he's got to keep his head down and keep grafting because you're going to get some news in the next 24 to 48 hours," Hearn told Sky Sports News.
"If they don't want the fight, they don't want the fight. What I won't let happen is rob the career path of Kell Brook and I'll fight tooth and nail to get justice for Kell.
"If that means putting the pressure on to get Alexander to vacate the title or Golden Boy [the American's promoters] come back this week and give us a date - which I think is the more likely scenario, then we will make sure that happens because I won't have Kell messed around.
"If I were having a punt I think it will go ahead. The whole thing looks a little bit cheesy to me and a little bit fishy from the Mayweather camp.
"But you never know, this is boxing and you have got to stay on your guard and things change every time you go to sleep, you wake up and something else has happened. It's like a constant chess match and we have got to make sure we have got our pawns in the right positions."

Tom Wells
Tom Wells
Tom's nomination is slightly belated as in 2008 Tom stood down form one of his major roles as organiser of the Welsh Festival of Cycling, having been in charge for several years, including in 2005 when it was combined with the CTC Birthday Rides at Bala.
However, this hasn't stopped Tom also being the Treasurer of CTC Cymru and an active Right to Ride campaigner for the county of Ceridigion.
He has been one of the key figures in keeping CTC Cymru going since it was founded in 1999 and his colleagues recognise that without his huge input so much would not have been possible.
What fewer people know is that Tom has a busy bike shop, a large family, an interest in cycle design and engineering, and has been disabled since his leg was amputated following a road collision on his bike in 1995.

The Aldrich Alert
A Publication of the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty
by Gary Aldrich - Volume 2, Issue 11
This article appeared on WorldNetDaily.com on Thursday, February 28, 2002.
They say the first casualty of war is truth. Most people probably think that means the U.S. government is empowered to lie about anything, if it means we'll win a war sooner.
This assumes that the lie is made to fool the enemy, not ourselves.
Most trusting Americans cannot imagine the "fat times" this war footing provides for the herds of incompetents that occupy so many of the cubicles of our vast government structure. These burrowed parasites are willing to lie about anything if their laziness and corruptions remain undiscovered. All federal slugs relish times of war since they know that much can be hidden in the name of "national security."
In a small conference room at the U.S. Capitol yesterday, whistleblowers old and new gathered with foundations that sponsor them, for a meeting with politicians in Washington who think honesty is always the best policy when it comes to the people's business, war or no war.
Leading the parade of the wounded warriors for truth is none other than Frank Serpico, a former New York City cop who testified many years ago to serious corruption in the ranks of New York City's finest. There were whistleblowers before Serpico, and there will be many more after, but his cause was captured in a best selling book and later made into a major motion picture. Because of this unusual exposure, a disgusted public demanded reforms that not only cleaned up the corruption, but also protected future whistleblowers.
Many think it's time for another period of reform. Present at the Paul Revere Forum are groups devoted to surfacing the truth, such as the Government Accountability Project, the Project on Government Oversight and my own Patrick Henry Center. These groups are concerned about truth and the rights of whistleblowers, but since September 11, 2001 there is also a deeper concern about our nation's security.
Joining the conference was a recently resigned U.S. Customs federal agent, Darlene Catalan a modern day Serpico. She attempted to protect our borders by aggressively pursuing a major investigation involving numerous shipments of contraband across the Mexican border. For her dedication she was rewarded with harassment, ridicule, retaliation and wholesale assault on her professional and personal reputation. Why? Because Catalan was getting too close to corruption that apparently went high up the chain-of-command.
Catalan's complaints to her management finally led to her resignation when she could no longer justify remaining a part of such major corruption. She either had to resign and surface the truth, or she had to go along with the fraud.
To her dismay, she learned that the lone U.S. senator who had seemingly taken up her cause was seen in a cozy social setting with none other than the U.S. Customs manager believed to be most responsible for the incompetence and corruption. When Catalan later learned that this same manager had been selected to fill yet another plum political job, it became clear to her and her fellow agents that the "fix" was in at the highest levels of government.
Catalan concluded it was impossible absent a lawsuit to get any justice for what had happened to her and her fellow U.S. Customs agents, the ones who were honest. So she and others filed federal lawsuits to recover their good names and some of the salary they were denied because they had been harassed off the job.
I've spent a good deal of time with Darlene, a delightful lady who is honest and dedicated to surfacing the full truth about the dismal state of our border protections, especially along the Mexican border. Darlene's beat has been the thousands of railcars coming over the border, each and every day. Few pressurized rail tank cars are inspected, yet secreted inside so many of these huge metal cylinders are tons of narcotics, enough to keep the price of cocaine on the street low, and the quality of dope very high.
Darlene Catalan, a devoted wife and mother of three children, worries about drugs and drug addiction, but what worries her more is the real chance these tanker cars could be used to make the "world's biggest pipe bomb." She knows some terrorists are bright enough to grasp the potential that our corrupted border inspection system holds.
Catalan points out to any who will listen that a single tanker filled with chemicals identical to those used in the Oklahoma City bombing would have 20 times the explosive power. What's more, these uninspected rail cars can be shuttled to any large city and parked in a rental rail spur, waiting for some date and time for detonation.
Congressmen and senators attending the Paul Revere Forum yesterday should walk outside and count the few steps that it takes to walk from the U.S. Capitol to the nearest active rail yard. If they'll do that, perhaps then they will pay closer attention to what Darlene Catalan and other whistleblowers attending the conference are trying to tell them.
But if after hearing Catalan, and peering over at the nearby rail yard our elected officials can't figure out how to protect their own backyard, what hope is there for the rest of us?
Truth may, in fact, be the first casualty of war, but let's fix what our whistleblowers tell us is broken, and not lie about it because we're embarrassed to learn the federal government is riddled with incompetence and corruption after eight years of debating the meaning of "is."
This conference will prove why it's important to praise our truth-telling whistleblowers and at the same time use their insider knowledge to perhaps save some lives.

'And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ.' 1 John 3:23
Suggested Further Reading: Acts 16:16–34
If we heartily trust our soul with Christ, our sins, through his blood, are forgiven, and his righteousness is imputed to us. The mere knowledge of these facts will not, however, save us, unless we really and truly trust our souls in the Redeemer's hands. Faith must act in this wise: 'I believe that Jesus came to save sinners, and therefore, sinner though I be, I rest myself on him; I know that his righteousness justifies the ungodly; I, therefore, though ungodly, trust in him to be my righteousness; I know that his precious blood in heaven prevails with God on the behalf of them that come unto him; and since I come unto him, I know by faith that I have an interest in his perpetual intercession.' Now, I have enlarged the one thought of believing on God's Son Jesus Christ. 'Believing' is most clearly explained by that simple word 'trust.' Believing is partly the intellectual operation of receiving divine truths, but the essence of it lies in relying upon those truths. I believe that, although I cannot swim, yonder friendly plank will support me in the flood; I grasp it, and am saved: the grasp is faith. I am promised by a generous friend that if I draw upon his banker, he will supply all my needs; I joyously confide in him, and as often as I am in want I go to the bank, and am enriched: my going to the bank is faith. Thus faith is accepting God's great promise, contained in the person of his Son. It is taking God at his word, and trusting in Jesus Christ as being my salvation, although I am utterly unworthy of his regard. Sinner, if you take Christ to be your Saviour this day, you are justified.
For meditation: Abraham is our example of saving faith (Romans 4:11–12). In his head he was convinced that God could do what he had promised (Romans 4:21); in his heart he trusted God (Romans 4:20); God accepted his trust and attributed righteousness to him (Romans 4:22). This is how we are to trust in the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 4:23–25). But is this what you mean by 'faith'?

Cheerleader who wouldn't root for assailant loses
(05-02) 17:12 PDT WASHINGTON -- A Texas high school cheerleader who was kicked off the squad for refusing to chant the name of a basketball player - the same athlete she said had raped her four months earlier - lost a U.S. Supreme Court appeal Monday.
A federal appeals court ruled in September that the cheerleader was speaking for the school, not herself, and had no right to remain silent when called on to cheer the athlete by name.
The Supreme Court denied review of the case Monday without comment.
The girl, identified by her initials H.S., was 16 when she said she was raped at a party in her southeast Texas hometown of Silsbee in October 2008. She identified the assailant as Rakheem Bolton, a star on the Silsbee High School football team.
Bolton ultimately pleaded guilty in September 2010 to a misdemeanor assault charge and received a suspended sentence.
At a February 2009 basketball game in Huntsville, Texas, H.S. joined in leading cheers for the Silsbee team, which included Bolton. But when Bolton went to the foul line to shoot a free throw, H.S. folded her arms and was silent.
H.S. said the district superintendent, his assistant and the school principal told her she had to cheer for Bolton or go home. She refused and was dismissed from the squad.
H.S., joined by her parents, sued school officials and the district. They claimed the school had punished her for exercising her right of free expression.
An appeals court in New Orleans ruled against her, saying a cheerleader acts as a "mouthpiece" for the school.
Federal courts have also ordered H.S. and her parents to reimburse the district more than $45,000 for the costs of defending against a frivolous suit.
The family's lawyer, Laurence Watts, said the ruling means students who try to exercise their right of free speech can be punished for refusing to follow "insensitive and unreasonable directions."

Three years ago, I met Minister Bereket Simon at his office at the center of Addis Ababa. I was with my colleague Abiye Teklemariam -- who was recently charged with terrorism, treason and espionage along with five other journalists, including myself.
Our purpose in meeting Bereket was to make our position clear regarding the government's wasteful animosity toward us, and express our concerns surrounding press freedom in Ethiopia.
• Report: Journalist
jailings jump
• Database of all
imprisoned journalists
• Blog: China's crackdown
on ethnic journalists
The period was a tense and confrontational one for staff members of our newspaper, Addis Neger. Many observers had begun to predict the imminent closure of Addis Neger and our inevitable arrest. As became evident later, the government was suspicious of us and had already decided our fate. Of what were they suspicious? That depends on whether you want the public version of their suspicion, or the other version, relating to politics and power. The public version is a cover up for the latter version.
The biggest worry for any autocrat stems from individuals and institutions that appear to be independent and attractive to one or more sections of society. The Ethiopian government's real suspicion -- more appropriate to call it fear -- was that Addis Neger or people gathering around its ideals could be turned into a political force. This may have taken different forms, the government assumed -- including forming a new political party as a solid group; joining one of the oppositions; endorsing or actively supporting opposition parties; or challenging the legitimacy of the regime by forming critical opinions.
No intelligent leader can declare this panic in public. The creative capacity of any autocrat reveals itself in his ability to formulate a public suspicion that can conceal the primary concern, which is to stay in power.
Bereket is the right-hand man of Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, and has handled the government's media affairs for 20 years. In our meeting with him, we highlighted the public's fear of a sudden and blanket closure of independent newspapers, as had happened in 2005. Bereket was articulate in addressing our concern: "Have no worry about that; we won't repeat that kind of measure. Instead, the government is determined to handle both the media and journalists using democratic instruments."
By "democratic instruments," Bereket meant laws and government organs - each being an appendix of the ruling party. Instead of closing a newspaper by ordering the printing house not to print, the law made the printer responsible for the content of what he is printing. Instead of telling reporters to stop writing about a particular political group or view, such reporting is criminalized by the outlawing of the party (as well as any discussion regarding its view). The government no more issues an order to arrest activists or close an independent NGO working to empower citizens or expose human rights abuses. It simply makes life impossible for such groups by requiring them by law to cover 90% of their budget from local sources.
Thus, the public suspicion is aimed at sensitizing the public, or at least ruling party members, about the legal action the government is going to take using "democratic instruments." It is often based on fabricated or half-baked conspiracy plots. Some of the allegations against independent newspapers and journalists in Ethiopia paint them as dangerous elements posing a threat to the country: the agents of foreign forces or enemy states; operatives of the CIA; members or supporters of opposition or extremist groups; advocates of anti-ethnic or religious groups; advocates of anti-state ideas, and more.
Such allegations are used the world over to silence and intimidate independent voices. Such instruments are used to jail journalists, not just by the Ethiopian government but also by the worst offenders, the governments of Iran and China.
When my colleague Abiye and I met with Bereket, we were bold enough to explain our fundamental positions as an independent media institution and responsible journalists. He was also honest enough to admit the government's fear, saying, "You have a political agenda." What does this mean, where anything from an editorial to a cartoon can be considered political and entail an agenda?
Today, my colleague, journalist and blogger Eskinder Nega, has been imprisoned since September 14 in Maekelawi Federal Detention Center. Note that the government is holding him using a "democratic instrument" called the "Anti-Terrorism Law." The same instrument put journalists Woubshet Taye and Re'eyot Alemu behind bars. The two Swedish journalists, Johan Persson and Martin Schibbye, are also in prison defending their professional activities, which are criminalized in Ethiopia.

I have a rather interesting problem. I'm looking more for guesses at what is happening, than a solution.
Here is a quick overview for reference:
So I have an applet embedded on a website. The runtime data comes from files on the same server (which is a free host) as the website. I have one section of code which reads a server directory and parses for a list of files in the directory. To connect to the directory, I am using URLConnection and a BufferedReader (which I send a InputStreamReader to), and I connect via FTP (instead of usual URL) due to server related restrictions. I then have other sections of code that uses the same basic principle to read files (instead of a directory listing).
Now, my problem is ONLY with the directory listing part. The rest of the file reading works perfectly (as far as I know). Here is where it gets interesting: my problem seems to be specific to only certain machines. I've attempted to run the program on 3 separate machines, 2 of which worked, and the other one failed, throwing a java.net.SocketException: Connection Reset. I've attempted to pinpoint the problem, but the more variables I take into account, the further I seem get from the answer. Here are my test cases:
Computer 1: Windows 7, Firefox 3.6, Network A, Virus Protection A
Computer 2: Windows 7, Firefox 12 (no addons), Internet Explorer 9 (no addons), Network A, Virus Protection A
Computer 3: Windows 7, Firefox 12 (no addons), Internet Explorer 9 (no addons), Network B, Virus Protection B
Now, Computer 1 and 3 work perfectly. Computer 1 and Computer 2 are on the same network (while Computer 3 is in an entirely different county), so I've ruled out the network. Computer 2 fails on all of its browsers (Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer). However I've ruled out browser conflicts due to Computer 3. All 3 computers run the same operating system, so I've ruled that out. And Computer 1 and Computer 2 have the same Virus Protection program, so I can rule that out. It is clearly something specific to Computer 2, but I have no clue what it could be.
I've pretty much ran out of variables here. Does anyone have any ideas for why one computer would throw a SocketException, while others wouldn't? Or can anyone think of any more variables I can rule out?

Revision as of 16:04, 20 June 2017
Super Mario Bros. 2 is an action platformer by Nintendo. This game is not the real Super Mario Bros. 2, which was released in Japan in 1986, but wasn't released in America because Nintendo assumed the game would be too difficult for American players. Instead, Nintendo took their 1987 Famicom Disk System game, Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic, and changed some of the graphics to Super Mario Bros. characters.
I don't remember when I first played Super Mario Bros. 2, but I do remember not liking it. I found the new environment to be too different from the original. No goombas, no koopas, not breaking bricks, and you can ride on enemies? After awhile, the game grew on me, and I started to appreciate it more, but it never became a favorite of mine.
I own the American release, but I have never beaten it.
- Overall: 5/10
- Best Version: NES
- The game is pretty damn creative. The changing environments, the various enemies, the ability to switch between playable characters, these are all great ideas.
- The graphics are well drawn and animated and the music is quite enjoyable.
- The game is a good challenge. A little on the hard side, but not unfair.
- Allowing players to choose between various player characters, each with their own abilities, was a cool idea.
- The level design is great: warps, secret passages, and jumps that benefit the slower characters.
- Player control isn't as good as it could be. Jumping feels sluggish and fluid, not as controllable as you would want.
- For American players, the game has nothing to do with the Super Mario franchise. I don't like it when companies force a game into a series for a buck.
- The level design relies heavily on memorization. You're essentially expected to die many times before figuring out where to jump and land, which plants to uproot, where to throw the potion, etc.
- The ending is lame. It was all a dream, nothing you did actually matters!
- Nothing.
