Walters State Community College is committed to the importance of computer competency. The college requires all degree-seeking students to demonstrate computer competency either by passing an exam or by successfully completing a designated computer course.
During the first thirty (30) hours of college level course work at Walters State, students must complete the requirements in their major for proving computer competency. The student's advisor will help determine which steps a student should follow to show proof of computer competency.
Students should consult with their academic advisor to determine if the chosen major has a computer course requirement that fulfills the computer competency requirement. If the chosen major does not have a specific computer competency course requirement, then the following points should guide the student when determining how best to meet the computer competency.
Note: For majors that require a specific course to fulfill the computer competency requirement, the Computer Competency Exam may not be used in place of the designated course.
Students must be a currently registered Walters State Community College student in order to take the Computer Competency examination.
Students who are in a major that does not have a specific computer course requirement may elect to either take the Computer Competency Exam or take INFS 1010. To help determine the student's level of readiness to take the computer competency examination, the student should click here and complete the Self Assessment . It is STRONGLY suggested that the student complete the Self Assessment prior to registering for the examination. Once the self assessment is successfully completed, and if the student still wishes to complete the Computer Competency Exam, the following steps should be followed:
Transfer students have several options to fulfill the computer competency requirement at Walters State.

After getting back from vacation Monday, my wife came down with a sinus infection and mild bronchitis, I got an inner ear infection that I am just now getting over, with the aid of a buttcheek full of antibiotics and some pain pills and more antibiotics. My wife is still getting over her sinus problems, but is feeling better.
Our trip went fairly well; the temperatures were reasonable, and we didn't get rained on.
We went down to south central Utah, basing ourselves in the small town of Torrey. It's a quiet place that has grown quite a bit during the past few years, but is still small. It sits at the base of the Aquarius Plateau, which feeds the rivers in all directions in that area of Utah, so in a few minutes you can drive up to an alpine environment, or wander around in the desert, depending on temperature, time of day, and mood.
Double-click on any picture for full size.
This is a picture of the area from about halfway near the top of the Aquarius Plateau.
We did a bit of hiking in the river canyons by Escalante, and spent quite a bit of time in Capitol Reef.
At Capitol Reef, they have parts of an old community. There are a lot of cottonwood trees around, which are ubiquitous to the desert areas. Some are quite big, and very old, as you can see from this photo.
There are also a lot of these guys, who tend to hang out in the old orchards there. Since there is no hunting allowed in the park, they tend to get very tolerant of tourists.
This is the cabin of Elijah Cutler Behunin, built in 1882, for his family of ten. A rising river wiped out their crops and they had to leave.
This school house was built on land donated by Behunin; it operated from 1896 to 1941. I managed to get a shot through a window; they have tried to keep it looking like it once did.
Here we have remains of older settlers; the Fremont Indians. The Fremont lived in the area from 600 - 1100 AD. It is thought that the Fremont were the ancestors of today's Utes and Southern Paiutes.
Interesting political developments. I'm not really sure that Biden was a good choice for Golden Boy's campaign. Of course, I am fairly confident that The Coot will do just as badly at choosing a VP. If he doesn't, I'll be very surprised.
A few quotes on government; there are a lot of good ones out there, but we'd probably run out of room.
"Democracy is little more than the system by which 51 percent of the people can pee in the cornflakes of 49 percent of the people."
-Jonah Goldberg
"It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly American criminal class except Congress."
-Mark Twain
"The difference between death and taxes is death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets."
- Will Rogers
"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."
-Marcus Tullius Cicero
"We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office."
- Aesop
"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have."
-Thomas Jefferson
"It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged."
-G.K. Chesterton
Have been listening to a lot of dusty old songs, a lot of these in the top ten are probably way before the time of most of you. Anyone familiar with all of them?

China Avoiding Sensitive Topics at G20
China Avoiding Sensitive Topics at G20
BEIJING (AP) -- China's hosting of the Group of 20 industrialized nations summit highlights its role as the world's second-largest economy and a growing force in global diplomacy, but also comes amid sharpening frictions over its territorial claims in the South China Sea, disputes with fellow regional powers South Korea and Japan and criticisms over a sweeping crackdown on dissent at home.
China hopes to avoid discussion of such issues while using the summit in the eastern city of Hangzhou to burnish its image as a responsible major nation whose support is essential to solving the world's ills. It will seek to promote its image as a force for grappling with climate change, as a promoter of development in Asia through its "One-Belt, One-Road" development drive and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, and as a champion for global free trade amid the rise of economic nationalism in Europe and elsewhere.
What it wants least: Any discussion of sensitive political issues, chiefly disputes in which China appears as an aggressive revanchist power eager to erase the humiliations of the past two centuries.
"China's main objective is to have a summit about economics, not about politics," said Jonathan Holslag, a professor of international politics at the Free University of Brussels.
Chinese officials have repeatedly emphasized their desire to avoid controversial issues and keep the focus on the gathering's core economic role.
"The whole country is striving for a successful and fruitful meeting to inject more impetus into the global economic growth," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told reporters Monday.
Yet, its ability to control the discussions will be severely tested given the number of fractious disputes in which Beijing is now involved.
The South China Sea has become a particularly sensitive issue since an international arbitration panel in the Hague, Netherlands, in June ruled against China's claims to almost the entire crucial water body, in a case brought by fellow claimant the Philippines. China angrily rejected the verdict and has vowed to continue developing man-made islands in the disputed Spratly islands group, while staging regular aerial patrols over the area and raising the possibility of unilaterally placing the airspace above under Chinese control.
The U.S. and others have called on Beijing to respect the ruling, and the case threatens to tarnish China's desired image as a full-fledged member of international society.
Meanwhile, China's ties with Japan remain tense over China's claim to uninhabited East China Sea islands controlled by Tokyo, and its previously warm relations with South Korea have chilled in the wake of Seoul's decision to deploy a U.S. missile defense system aimed at containing the threat from North Korea. A meeting of foreign ministers from the three countries last week produced a rare display of unity in sharply criticizing the North's most recent submarine missile test, but did little to resolve the tensions with Beijing.
Yu Maochun, an expert on Chinese politics at the U.S. Naval Academy, said China hopes the summit will offer a chance to "find a way to extricate itself from the current diplomatic perfect storm of its own making," while presenting itself as a "modern, prosperous, confident and gracious host."
Outside the region, China will seek to revive a much-vaunted "golden era" in relations with Britain that have been called into question following that country's decision to leave the European Union and David Cameron's replacement by Theresa May as prime minister.
The summit will also be a capstone of sorts for the relationship between President Barack Obama and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping. Xi's somewhat fuzzy concept of a "new type of major state-to-state relations" with America has been a key feature of his foreign policy, but has gained little momentum in Washington due to questions over Beijing's approach to the South China Sea and other issues.
China will also hope that a successful summit will dampen criticism from the U.S. and European Union over sentences for subversion handed out to legal activists in a demonstration of the party's determination to silence independent human rights workers and government critics. The activists were among about 300 people detained and questioned in July of last year, most of whom have since been released.
More broadly, under Xi, China has launched a campaign against loosely defined "anti-China forces" and Western concepts of democracy and human rights, generating what many say is a more hostile attitude toward international groups and more challenging conditions for foreign businesses.
Whatever the summit's outcome, China is sparing no effort to ensure it goes off smoothly, relying on its experience hosting major international gatherings such as the 2008 Summer Olympics and last year's Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation forum.
A former imperial capital, Hangzhou has a rich history and strong leisure culture, as well as being home to some of China's best known and most innovative firms such as e-commerce powerhouse Alibaba.
A massive security presence has descended on the city and residents have been offered vouchers to get out of town. Government critics have been placed under house arrest. Restaurants run by or catering to the country's Uighur minority have been ordered closed; extremist Uighurs seeking independence for their northwestern region have launched deadly attacks in recent years.
"The first requirement of Chinese bureaucracy is to play it safe and not take risks. It's about projecting an image of China being comfortable at the top table," said Steve Tsang, senior fellow at the University of Nottingham's China Policy Institute.
Still, in keeping with China's rising global profile, Tsang suggests its image might benefit from a more laid-back approach.
"It's likely to gain more respect by showing a more relaxed and confident approach, not by demonstrating its sheer organizational might, which reinforces its authoritarian image," he said.

Quad technology waits in the wings, but dual-core systems still have a lot to offer
It's amazing to see the rapid progress of technology. Less than two years ago, dual-core processors were the Next Big Thing, and everyone was impressed with their capabilities. Now the technology is being superseded by the next Next Big Thing — the quad-core processor.
Ace Vision 6Gt
Super Micro SYS-5035B-TB
Apple iMac MB418LL/A
Dell Optiplex 960
HP Compaq dc7900
GCN Lab reviews home
Even though recent drops in the prices of quad-core processors have made them a more feasible option, there is still a place for dual cores with relatively high clock speeds. If your users' daily operations don't involve running many programs simultaneously or running programs that take advantage of all four cores, you can still find bargains in the dual-core arena. In fact, in those situations, a high-speed dual-core would perform better than a quad-core with a slower clock speed.
We asked for the latest and greatest in dual-core processors for a roundup review, and six companies rose to the challenge. Ace Computers, Apple, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo and Super Micro Computer submitted smoking-hot systems. We put them through their paces with our PassMark Software's performance benchmark program. Then we opened each of them and had a look at how much room they had for upgrades before original components would need to be replaced. While we were in there, we noted how easy or difficult it was to get to those components and whether you needed tools to remove them.
We also examined other features, such as extra ports beyond the basics — USB, sound and local-area network connections — and any additional components or software. Finally, we compared the price to how the computer fared in the other categories.
The golden age of the dual-core processor might be over, but there are still bargains to be had.
How we tested
The PassMark PerformanceTest Version 6.1 evaluates CPUs' ability to find prime numbers and perform other math tasks, in addition to compression and encryption. The 2-D graphics tests covered lines and shapes and included a font and text evaluation, while the 3-D graphics test displayed 3-D movements of varying complexities. To test the memory, we performed various read and write tasks in different conditions. We also conducted read and write tests for the hard drive and a read test for the optical drive.
The PassMark Rating is the weighted average of all the other scores, with the CPU results having the most weight, followed by memory. The values are relative, so a computer with a score twice as high in an area is considered to be twice as fast.

On the Automatica fair, Pilz puts the focus on the safe human-robot-collaboration (HRC). Based on two model plants, the automation company shows the practicable ways today to safe HRC and it also gives an outlook on future safety technologies. For the first time, Pilz presents its collision measurement device for standard-compliant validation of HRC in accordance with the new ISO/TS 15066.
Ostfildern, May 9, 2016
Pilz on the Automatica 2016 in Munich (21.-24. June), hall B4, stand 500 - With safety man and robot come closer
"There are no safe robots, there are only safe robot applications. Safety results from the interaction of normative framework conditions, the risk analysis that is based on it, the selection of a robot with the relevant safety functions and the matching additional safety components, and finally the validation", explains Thomas Pilz, managing partner of Pilz GmbH & Co. KG.
Pilz as a solution supplier provides the relevant services and products and systems for safe robot applications. The company supports users with a services portfolio tailored to the individual life cycle phases of a robot system: From process analysis to risk assessment and beyond to CE marking. A specific range of training courses on robot safety completes the range of services.
For validation, Pilz has developed a handy collision measurement device equipped with springs and the relevant sensors. Thereby, forces acting on the human body can be exactly recorded during a collision with a robot and compared with the limit values from the new ISO/TS 15066. Pilz will introduce the collision measurement device and its application for the first time at Automatica.
HRC without pre-conceived fears
Visitors to the Pilz fair stand in Munich will experience how man and machine can cooperate safely without separating safety fences: Firstly, Pilz shows an HRC application for feature control which is secured according to the principle of power and force limiting. The application consists of an industrial robot with sensitive functions and Pilz products: This includes control systems PSS and PNOZmulti, the operation mode selector switch PITmode and the safe 3D camera system SafetyEYE that monitors the work area of the robot. When there is no man in the robot's operating range, the working speed of the robot and therefore the process productivity is increased. This application is CE certified, and it can therefore be implemented in practice today.
Safe sensor technology for the future
With the second robot demonstrator, Pilz gives a glimpse into the future and it introduces various technologies from research projects of the company. For one thing, the prototype of a tactile fabric developed by Pilz is laid in front of the robot as a pressure-sensitive mat. This tactile sensor technology offers support during visualisation and position identification of man and robot, and this is a promising way to more dynamics with HRC.
On the other hand, Pilz presents an internally developed, compact stereo camera. With this, path planning in real-time is possible to avoid collisions between man and robot. For the control system, Pilz has developed software blocks that work on the basis of the robot operating system (ROS). Based on this, the automation company shows that the programming environment previously known form the research environment can also be applied in industrial applications.
"With our research work in the safe robotics range, we emphasize our role as a pioneer in safe automation technology", explains Thomas Pilz. "The aim is to make new technologies marketable and industry-capable. With these innovations we want to resolve safety tasks that result from the closer cooperation between man and machine."
Pilz is exhibiting in Hall B4, Stand 500.

This striped rug is the perfect blend of colors, design and comfort. Flat braid stripes featuring complimentary colors make a beautiful accent piece for a bedroom, living room or any cozy space.
MATERIAL: 65% Polypropylene / 35% Wool
CONSTRUCTION: Braided
FEATURES: Wool, Reversible, Made in USA
Retain the beauty of these fine products by regular vacuuming using the hard surface attachment. Do not use the beater bar on your rug. Remove spots with any dry cleaning fluid. Periodic professional dry cleaning is recommended. Accessory products may be machine washed, cold water, laid flat to dry.
If threads which hold the braids loosen or break simply sew together with a needle and strong thread. Trim, never pull loose ends. What may appear to be an irregularity in color or construction is actually part of the homespun look. Reverse for twice the wear.
Floor padding is strongly recommended to prevent yarn color dye transfer and provide comfort, safety, and durability.
Slight irregularities are inherent to all products. Minimal size, dye lot, and pattern repeat variations are to be expected from handcrafting. Due to tight packing for shipment, product may not lay flat; starting from the center, work wrinkles out with hands or pole.
* Cleaning and care may differ depending on product contents.Tip: We recommend the use of a non-skid pad to keep the rug in place on smooth surfaces. Use of a rug pad is recommended to extend the life of your rug and prevent shifting and sliding.

World Health Day celebrates the anniversary of the founding of the United Nations' World Health Organization (WHO) in 1948. Early Florida settlers considered their health a primary concern and established the first hospital in North America in St. Augustine in the early 17th century.
This year, WHO has chosen vector-borne diseases as the topic for 2014. Florida is no stranger to vector-borne diseases. In the 19th century an outbreak of yellow fever, a viral disease that is transmitted to humans through infected mosquitoes, had a devastating impact on the people of Florida. In 1889, the State Board of Health was created in response to the yellow fever epidemic. Its creation helped to coordinate quarantine and disinfection efforts to protect the state's citizens and visitors.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w package SHSigGenes; use strict; use Tracer; use SearchHelper; use CGI; use HTML; use Sprout; our @ISA = qw(SearchHelper); =head1 Gene Discrimination Feature Search Helper =head2 Introduction This search performs a signature genes comparison. The user selects two genome sets, and the search returns genes from a given genome which are common only in the first set and not in the second. If the second set is empty, the search will return genes from the given genome that are common in the first set. Gene identity will be computed in this case using bidirectional best hits. If gene X from the given genome has a BBH in a specified genome Y, then it is said to occur in whatever set includes genome Y. A gene is considered I<common> if it occurs in a certain percentage of the genomes of the set. This search has the following extra parameters. =over 4 =item given The ID of the given genome. =item target[] The IDs of the genomes in the first (target) set. The given genome is automatically considered a part of this set, so it can never be empty. =item exclusion[] The IDs of the genomes in the second (exclusion) set. If this set is empty, then no genes will be considered common in set 2, causing all genes common in set 1 to be selected. =item commonality Minimum score for a gene to be considered common. The score is equal to the number of genomes containing a bidirectional best hit of the gene divided by the total number of genomes. The default is C<0.8>. A value of C<1> means a gene must have BBHs in all of the genomes to be considered common; a value of C<0> is invalid. =item cutoff Maximum match difference for a BBH hit to be considered valid.

Petition for Int'l. Solution to African Refugee Crisis
by: Ralph Seliger on April 1st, 2013 | 5 Comments »
I've signed this petition, as have a wide array of public figures, artists and academics from across the political spectrum and of a variety of faiths — including such accomplished historians as Israel's Yehuda Bauer, Canada's Irving Abella, and David S. Wyman in the U.S. Israel's initial welcome reception of African refugees has become unwelcoming and even ugly, as their numbers have grown precipitously. I begin with a note from Dr. Rafael Medoff, director of the David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies, who initiated this petition (email him or contact the Wyman Institute to add your name):
As you know, Israel has been at the center of international controversy over its handling of African refugees who have been arriving at its border.
The interfaith petition below is intended to be signed by religious leaders of all faiths, scholars in all fields, organizational leaders, and political and cultural figures from around the world–we seek a broad cross-section of distinguished individuals to demonstrate the breadth of support for this effort. Once we have a sufficiently large and impressive body of signatories, we will present it to individual governments and press for its adoption.
The Hebrew University-Hadassah Genocide Prevention Program, and the Israeli Association to Combat Genocide, have endorsed this initiative. Would you do us the honor of allowing your name to be added to the list below?
With all best wishes,Rafael Medoff, email@example.com
Israel and the African Refugee Crisis:
Significant numbers of African men, women, and children are fleeing genocide, political persecution, or economic hardship, and many have been seeking refuge in Israel. We note that the people of Israel have an impressive record of assisting African and other underdeveloped countries, and sheltering refugees from around the world. At the same time, we acknowledge the Israeli public's legitimate concern over expectations that Israel should shoulder all or most of the burden of caring for the new refugees.
We urge the international community to address this crisis in the spirit of the appeal made by U.S. Vice President Walter F. Mondale at the United Nations Conference on Indochinese Refugees, held in Evian, France, in 1979. He said the countries attending the infamous 1938 Evian conference "failed the test of civilization" by refusing to help Europe's Jewish refugees, and he urged the 1979 attendees to cooperate in resolving the crisis of "boat people" fleeing Indochina: "We face a world problem. Let us fashion a world solution." Those words moved governments to act. Hundreds of thousands of lives were saved.
We call on the nations of the world to accept their responsibility to share the burden of resolving the African refugee crisis. We hope Israel will play an appropriate role in such an effort alongside other nations that are committed to doing their fair share. With the approach of the 75th anniversary of the original Evian conference, in July 2013, we urge men and women of good will to come together in a partnership of humanity to face this crisis.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at the list of "America's Favorite Books" compiled by the Harris poll people last month...but I am. I have no idea if they even attempted to come up with a scientifically representative sample, but let's face it, the results would probably be just as strange either way.
America's Top 10 Favorite BooksI'm sorry, but a Top Ten list that includes Dan Brown, J.K. Rowling,Margaret Mitchell, J.R.R. Tolkien, Stephen King, Ayn Rand, etc. leaves me with a bit of an upset stomach. All the great books out there, and this is what "America" considers to be the best ever? I'm embarrassed for us. Where are all the great books written in the last two hundred years?
1. The Bible
2. Gone with the Wind, by Margaret Mitchell
3. Lord of the Rings (series), by J.R.R. Tolkien
4. Harry Potter (series), by J.K. Rowling
5. The Stand, by Stephen King
6. The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown
7. To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee
8. Angels and Demons, by Dan Brown
9. Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand
10. Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger
Dan Brown, not once, but twice? I think I'm going to be sick.

Live Review: Lil' Wayne, T-Pain and Keyshia Cole at the Oakland Arena
Lil' Wayne, the sandpaper-throated New Orleans rapper with the top-selling album of 2008, attracts one hell of a draped-up, chipped-out crowd. Attendees to the sold-out show filed into the Oakland Arena through metal detectors, and you never saw so many plastic baskets filled with expensive watches and rhinestone belt buckles in your life. It was like Oakland's own regal Prom Dance, with even higher prices: Parking was $25, beers were $12, and hoodies were $60.
Not everyone was dressed to the nines, I soon found out, as one of the first groups of people I ran into inside were a staggering group of drunk blonde girls, one with her silver miniskirt sloppily bunched up entirely around her waist, weaving her hootin' and hollerin' way down to their seats to see the Gym Class Heroes. The Gym Class Heroes, I might add, were the worst pile of shit in the land.
Keyshia Cole was completely goddamn dominating, just a nonstop firestorm of talent and amazement. I saw her last year, before she got her teeth fixed, and though I liked the gap in her teeth I'll accept the dental work as a metaphor for her whole career right now. Her albums have become more commercial since her amazing first record, They Way It Is, but damn if she hasn't stepped up her live show. Twelve months ago, opening for R. Kelly, she was all energy and empty hyperactivity; last night she retained the energy and tempered it with elegance and grace, like fine cocaine.
Keyshia Cole is from Alameda originally, and the Bay Area love was definitely in the house. If you ever in your life pine for the sound of 20,000 girls screaming their lungs out at the highest available volume, go to a Keyshia Cole show and wait for the opening chords to "Love." Cole is my Queen of R&B right now, the new Mary J. Blige, and that's conceding that she didn't even do "I Should Have Cheated." Apparently she has a reality show. I'm scared to watch it.
From the onset, T-Pain slouched at the front of his stage bedecked in his trademark top hat, and shoved his hands in his pockets, looking bored with himself.
T-Pain had breakdancing midgets dressed in whiteface and camoflauge. He has three tents, one of them inflated to 20 feet tall, with his name and likeness at the top. He had a woman in daisy dukes and a bikini top walking on stilts. He had a blonde tattooed midget gyrating around the stage in her bra and panties. He had a fire swallower with flaming pastied nipples. He had a calliope, a bazooka, a vaudeville wagon, an elephant stand, and a backup yes-man in Marilyn Manson makeup who lip-synched along to T-Pain's hits while T-Pain moonwalked, badly, across the stage.
"I got one word for you…" said T-Pain's DJ, early on in the set: "Bay Area!!!"
Almost every song T-Pain played was a hit, and almost every song T-Pain played was chopped off by the incessant thundercrash from his DJ. He was very comfortable with the fact that the audience knew all his songs, and turned the singing duties over to them much of the time, not even bothering to hold the mic out to the crowd. While they sang his hits, his prerecorded vocals continued to play in the background.
There were significant moments in Lil' Wayne's set where there was absolutely no applause after his songs. Just empty silence. There were other moments that elicited frenzied anarchy, as when he took off his shirt. His vocals, already quiet and growly, were drowned out by his rock band, who hung from large cages and who served for the most part to uselessly thicken up his pared-down hip-hop into heavy metal jams.
"Dere's three important things I gotta say," announced Lil' Wayne. "One: I believe in God, do you? An' two: I ain't shit wit out you, so make some noise. An' three: I ain't shit wit out you!"
T-Pain, riding circles around Lil' Wayne on a Segway, argued about who had done more guest verses on songs by other artists this year. They decided to perform some of these songs, an experiment which if comprehensive could have gone on for approximately 83 hours, 31 minutes. The DJ played "Swagga Like Us," but Lil' Wayne cut it off, saying that he didn't remember his own verse. This happens when you have 1,000 songs and are blasted on drugs most of the time.
"Y'all got the mixtapes?" Lil' Wayne shouted, hypothetically, since his mixtapes have replaced albums as the listening format of choice for his fans; he did "I'm Me" and "Prostitute," during which he sat holding a green electric guitar that he did not play. He then turned the stage over to a string of unknown friends to bore the crowd while he went backstage to get dressed for "Lollipop."
Near the end of the set, Lil' Wayne's laptop DJ killed ten minutes by cuing up other people's songs—"Single Ladies," "Peter Piper"—while Wayne was nowhere to be seen. When he reemerged, he dissolved into a spiritual communion with stained-glass windows on the jumbotrons, spending an entire song on a spinning platform out of view of the audience. He bid farewell, the music ended, and the crowd was expected to applaud. No one did.
He popped back onto the stage to sing "A Milli," its minimalist brilliance abandoned in favor of a heavy-metal wankfest, and left the Oakland Arena with a James Brown cape act and a run-through of Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You."
And that's the top-selling artist of the year. I was blown away when I heard "A Milli," into the mixtapes, kinda underwhelmed by Tha Carter III, and after last night I don't think Lil' Wayne has the stamina to live up to his reputation. He's got flashes of lyrical gold, oozes style and is a born ruler of the game; my guess is he's toast in 2009. Riding out a tidal wave can be an art in itself, especially when you start counting up the $110 tickets head by head, and you realize that it is generating more motherfucking money than you or I could ever imagine. The tide can only go out from here.

Beaches, art and leisure on the Costa del Sol
Maro beach, Marbella
The perfect setting for leisure and relaxation where you can enjoy wide open beaches with warm waters, modern hotel facilities and exclusive golf courses, not forgetting the passion for life to be found in its towns and in its people. Forget your daily routine and spend a few magical days in one of the world's most prized tourist destinations.
Sun and sand are, without doubt, the trademarks that have made the coast of Malaga province into the ideal destination for more than eight million tourists who come to this privileged part of Andalusia every year. Initially attracted by its exceptional climate (the average annual temperature is about 18ºC), visitors to the Costa del Sol end up being seduced by its attractive towns and villages, many with quiet coves, kilometres of clean sand, unusual natural settings and the Mediterranean sea, perfect for swimming and all sorts of water sports.
Any spot on the Malaga coast is perfect to enjoy the good weather, peace and quiet, cool streets and squares, friendly local people and delicious flavours of the finest fish in a variety of dishes – an essential ingredient in the light, exquisite local cuisine.
The life of leisure and luxury also stand out on the Costa del Sol. Towns like Malaga, Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Marbella, Mijas and Estepona are important centres for shopping, culture and business, as well as being some of international high society's favourite destinations. Casinos, concerts, museums, fiestas, theatres, water parks and theme parks are just some of the leisure activities on offer by day, while by night the fun continues when the bars, discos and nightclubs open.
The Costa del Sol's setting is also perfect for a wide range of open-air sports and contact with nature. If there is one dominant sport in Malaga province, however, it is golf. The Costa del Sol is a Mecca for thousands of enthusiasts. There are almost fifty courses to be found over a relatively small area – in places like Marbella, Malaga, Estepona, Guadiaro, San Pedro de Alcántara, Alhaurín de la Torre, Artola, Mijas and Puerto Banús.
The perfect way to relax and tone up the body is in one of the many new spas and hydrotherapy centres that have appeared recently along the Malaga coast offering sauna, massage, Turkish baths and jacuzzi. There are two traditional spa-centres in the province. They can be found in-land at Carratraca and Tolox, with good access from the coast.
The Costa del Sol, like all of Spain, has a wealth of art and history to enjoy. Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga and the city has just opened a new museum dedicated to this universal artist. It also has historic buildings and monuments like the Cathedral, Moorish "Alcazaba" (Fortress) as well as its old town, full of palaces and stately town houses. It is also well worth visiting nearby towns such as Antequera, Ronda, Marbella and Nerja whose beautiful, mysterious pre-historic caves are not to be missed. It is definitely worth taking time out from your relaxation by the sea to discover the historic/artistic heritage of this welcoming region, worthy of being one of the world's prime tourist destinations.

David Rockefeller, in a letter addressed to the Aga Khan which was read to the audience, described the reasons for awarding this honour: "Through the Aga Khan Development Network, you have leveraged the social conscience of Islam in ways that benefit people of all faiths, promoting tolerance, pluralism and broad-based development."
In acknowledging the award, His Highness spoke about the importance of civil society in development. "As I have done my work over the past decades, I have concluded that one of the most important forces in development is civil society," he explained. "If you think about the countries around the world which have had fragile governments but which have still made progress, there are umpteen examples of countries which have made progress because they have had strong civil society."
The agencies of the AKDN, which work in 30 countries around the world, are private, international, non-denominational development organisations. They employ approximately 80,000 people, the majority of whom are based in developing countries. The AKDN's annual budget for non-profit development activities is approximately US$ 600 million. The project companies of the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development generate revenues of approximately US$ 2.0 billion annually (all surpluses are reinvested in further development activities). All agencies work to improve the welfare and prospects of people in the developing world, particularly in Asia and Africa, without regard to faith, origin or gender. Their projects encompass many of the determinants of the quality of life, including the natural and built environments in both urban and rural areas, food security, health, education, civil society, access to financial services and economic opportunity, as well as the cultural areas of traditional music, architecture and art. Some programmes, such as specific research, education and cultural programmes, span both the developed and developing worlds.
The Aga Khan went on to commend Synergos for its work, commenting that "civil society means mobilising all the forces that can be mobilised in support of human development, and that is why I am so happy and gratified by the prize that you have given me, because you are bringing these forces together in the most remarkable way".
Synergos' objective is to address global poverty and social injustice by supporting and connecting leaders so they can work in collaboration to change the systems that keep people in poverty. The University for a Night series brings together leaders from business, civil society and government to discuss innovative approaches to addressing some of the most pressing global problems. Previous recipients of the award have included former US President Bill Clinton, former South African President Nelson Mandela, Bill Gates, Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan, Sir Richard Branson and others who have played a leadership role in global development.
As part of the event, Synergos Chair Peggy Dulany hosted an on-stage conversation with the Aga Khan in which she posed questions to him to further elaborate on his development work. In responding to a question about the relationship between philanthropy and development, the Aga Khan spoke about the importance of impact investment: "I happen to believe that impact investment is one of the most important concepts that I can recollect in the last 50 years. And the reason is that it harnesses social ethic to economic purpose. And the harnessing of social ethic to economic purpose enables you to do things which you could never do otherwise because what you're talking about is a double dividend. You're talking about a reasonable dividend on the investment and you are talking about a reasonable dividend in social development. Both of those can be measured and therefore those who make an investment in the impact domain can know what they're achieving with that impact investment."

For most people, chickenpox is usually mild and requires only comfort measures. Treatments to improve comfort include:
- Antihistamines are often given to reduce the sensation of itch. They often cause drowsiness.
- Warm, moist compresses may help.
- Warm colloidal oatmeal baths or baking soda baths may offer some relief.
- Calamine lotion is commonly used, but it is of unproven effectiveness.
- Avoid scratching as much as possible.
- Keep fingernails trimmed short.
- Gloves or mittens may be helpful for young children.
Contact your doctor or other medical professional right away if severe complications occur. Serious symptoms associated with chickenpox that may require immediate medical attention include:

Class-action lawsuit filed in cruise ship fiasco
A Florida maritime law firm has filed a class-action lawsuit on behalf of passengers aboard the ill-fated Carnival Triumph.
The federal lawsuit, filed Monday in Florida, says that Carnival Corp. was negligent for allowing Triumph to embark on the failed cruise when the company was aware the ship was prone to mechanical and or engine issues.
Three days after leaving Galveston on Feb. 7 for Mexico, a fire ignited in the Triumph's engine room, disabling the vessel's propulsion system and knocking out power.
The cruise ship drifted for days in the Gulf of Mexico before it was towed to Mobile, Ala., on Feb. 14.
Attorneys at Lipcon, Margulies, Alsina & Winkleman in Miami filed the lawsuit on behalf of passengers Matt and Melissa Crusan of Oklahoma, and more than 100 other passengers.
Most of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit are from Texas, according to attorney Mike Winkleman.
The lawsuit states passengers "were forced to sleep on deck and/or in other communal areas on the vessel, relieve themselves into buckets, bags, showers, sinks, were given spoiled or rotting food that was unfit for reasonable safe human consumption, and were generally forced to live in squalid conditions that created a severe risk of injury, illness and/or disease."
The lawsuit also charges that Carnival's decision to tow the Triumph to Mobile, instead of to the closer port of Progreso, Mexico, caused passengers to endure more time aboard the disabled vessel than necessary, prolonging their ordeal.
"The primary motivation for that (decision) was money," Winkleman said. "It was much cheaper for Carnival to tow the ship to Mobile where it would be repaired, rather than (have it towed) to Mexico and have another tow (from there) back to Alabama.
"It's cheaper to put 3,000 people on buses to Galveston than to have to fly them from Mexico."
Carnival spokesman Vance Gulliksen said the company would not comment on pending litigation.

Hi there,
as far as Mitchel does not want to answer in Premium Forum will cross-post the issue here.
Nevertheless in some post was stated that back button on Android is still supported if use sencha's history facility, I'd argue.I have created a example's kitchensink as a separate project and put it to github. http://github.com/olegtaranenko/kitchensink
you can run this project locally (do not forget setup touch sdk properly) and call it with mobile browser. Android hardware back button does work, perfect! Honestly speaking history support is implemented not ideal (kudos to sencha guys) but at least you can view back is in charge.
Now you can do native packaging, follow with readme instructions.Back button is dead. More precise it close the app immediately.
Looks like Android WebView implementation history is not supported...
Any thoughts, sechna developers?
Cheers, Oleg

Create a Legacy of Fighting Hunger
As part of your Estate Planning, you can help ensure that future generations grow up healthy - not hungry - by making a planned gift to the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Your legacy gift helps us to secure and distribute food and groceries to those in need and promote solutions to hunger, now and for years to come.
Gifts of Retirement Assets and Beneficiary Designations
A beneficiary designation is the simplest way to make a legacy gift to the Food Bank. When you complete your beneficiary designation form, just name "Atlanta Community Food Bank" as a full or partial beneficiary and provide our tax identification number (58-1376648). In addition, these gifts bypass probate and go directly to all beneficiaries.
Here are some common designation options:
- Retirement plans [e.g., traditional IRA, Keogh, 401(k)]: Including the Food Bank as a beneficiary enables you to avoid substantial income taxes that would have been due if a retirement plan were left to non-spousal heirs. It is strongly advised that you name "Atlanta Community Food Bank" as a beneficiary of a retirement plan through your designation form and not through your will, which may jeopardize tax benefits.
- Insurance policies: There are a number of ways you can name the Atlanta Community Food Bank as a beneficiary of an insurance policy, whether through your employer or a separate policy that you hold.
- Savings accounts: Designating the Food Bank as a beneficiary of a savings account is simple and allows full use of savings during your life.
Bequests and Wills
Please consider adding the Food Bank as a beneficiary in your will. You may be able to add a simple codicil for a charitable bequest to an existing will.
Here are some common bequest options you can use:
- Specific bequest: Determine a specific dollar amount or asset that you wish to leave to the Food Bank.
- Residual bequest: After you have provided for your loved ones, name "Atlanta Community Food Bank" to receive a percentage or all of your residuary estate.
- Contingent bequest: The Food Bank receives a bequest only in the event of the death of other beneficiaries.
Become a member of the Harvest Legacy Society
Members of the Harvest Legacy Society will help the Food Bank continue the fight against hunger for years to come. Members periodically receive special updates in addition to being invited to an annual special event. Members are listed in the Food Bank's Annual Report if they so choose.
If you have already made a planned gift, we welcome the opportunity to include you as a member of the Harvest Legacy Society. Please request our simple, confidential reply form or Greg Sims, 404.832.4976 so we that we may include you. You will have the option of remaining anonymous publicly.
For more information about all of our planned giving opportunities, contact Greg Sims at firstname.lastname@example.com or 404.832.4976.
The information provided here is for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered investment, legal, accounting, tax or other professional advice. A legacy gift comes from careful consideration of a number of important factors, including the assets used to fund the gift, the gift's timing, effects on income-tax and financial planning, the impact on family members and friends, and the gift's purpose. A legacy gift is best made with the counsel of your legal, tax or financial advisor.

Litchfield High School joins the digital age with wireless access
LITCHFIELD -- Litchfield High School has joined the digital age -- it now has wireless Internet access.
"We have been waiting for this," said Andrienne Longobucco, technology coordinator in Litchfield School District and the former principal of the schools elementary Center School.
It cost the school district $185,000 to bring WiFi to the school that serves students in grades seven through 12.
"Everywhere in the building, there is wireless access," said Longobucco. "That is a big first for us so that is exciting," said Ms. Longobucco.
In conjunction with the arrival of WiFi, the school district has purchased Lenovo ThinkPads. "They're a very nice device. The staff all has those, the seventh and eighth grade staff has had those since before school started, and there are two mobile carts at this minute that are in the seventh- and eighth-grade wing [giving students access to ThinkPads]. [A] third one is ready to go," said Longobucco.
Longobucco said students will be getting their own devices, but at this point it is undecided when.
There is an emphasis on integrating the technology with academics, and staff members are looking at connections with the common core state standards or the newly adopted state standards, she said.
"It is such an exciting time in the middle-high school here. It is such a natural integration ... . From my vantage point, the town has been very supportive," said Longobucco.
First Selectman Leo Paul said in a brief phone interview Tuesday that any opportunity to improve the ability for students to benefit more from an outstanding school system is fully supported by town officials.
The decision to go wireless was made toward the end of the last school year. The Board of Education decided to dedicate some surplus funds to the effort. "It was a very busy technology summer around here," said Longobucco.
"We are very pleased to have that capability for our faculty and our students we believe that this will enhance our capacity to deliver exemplary services to all students," said Dr. Deborah Wheeler,
Litchfield's Superintendent of Schools.
