- OS10. Bad run. We had two healers: a disc priest and a holy pally. They are typically MT healers, yes? The both of them? Yeah, sure, I get that. I wanted to smack them both, however, when they both said that they just wanted to target the tanks and only heal them. Hence, dps got NO heals. WTF. I mean... seriously, when you have a raid that has 5+ melee dps and a tank who wants to sit in the flame orbs, you're NOT going to get trash down, even with the little feral druid fleeing to stand behind the healers and BANDAGE HERSELF while the rest of the dps dies horribly, writhing in flames. Not a heal. Not one. We almost wiped to the first drake because of the AoE damage, since the MT again said "hey, don't go in the portal, just burn the drake down." Guess what that does? DAMAGES THE RAID! Now, I can understand it being the dps' fault when some stood in void zones, but dieing to straight environmental aoe that is unavoidable just because the two healers refuse to see anything but the tank's health is ridiculous. Angry kitty. Oh, and the mage didn't know he could remove curses ;)
- OS25. Decent run. Typical pug, nothing amazing or notable, though they had me OT the adds. I danced with fire elementals and got badges.
- VoA25. Bad run. I tried this several times, but the groups kept falling apart, usually because of bad healing... most of the healer puggers were in blues and self-admitted "bad alts." The tanks just kept dieing, and they easily had the gear to tank the instance. Personally, I have nothing wrong with alts in a raid like that, as long as they know how to play ;)
- VoA 10. Good run. I ran this after a very successful heroic daily run, when our 5-man heroic group decided to grab 4 extra dps and a healer and go kill Emalon with me as the OT. Very smooth run.
- Uld 10. Bad run. I had been sitting in LFG as a tank/dps for this and two other dungeons/raids, but with a comment that I should only OT or just play cat in Ulduar, because I know my gear is comparatively bad and I didn't have a separate kit for bear with the proper stam enchants. After a few mis-invites and fail-to-start groups where people didn't bother reading my comment about not having a MT-capable tank set, I took myself off the "tank" portion of LFG and just left it as "can tank anything below Ulduar" comment, as a pure dps lfg. I got a whispered invite to a U10 run after that, and since I'd been in the LFG as a dps, I figured it wouldn't be a big deal. They'd already downed flame leviathan, but that's 1 boss out of 14, right? They need a dps, sure, let's do this. Turns out, they wanted me as an MT. When I balked, they said I had the gear to do it... and I balked more. Then I inspected them. Indeed, my gear was the best among them, aside a resto druid who had more T7.5 than I did. Alright, I decided, I may as well see what happens, they seem to have confidence, in spite of their scattering of blues in scary item slots (chests, pants, helms, weapons...). So, I MT'd XT-002 and Razorscale for them, and we put a couple attempts in on Kologarn. They did pretty well for as undergeared as we all were, though many of the players really just didn't get the boss mechanics (eye beams? If I move two steps and stop, I'll be okay, right?) or even really their own class mechanics (wild growth? rejuv? why should I cast those?). I wish I could've helped them to down more bosses, but between replacing players and keeping those we had inside the instance (they kept hearthing to Dalaran to repair >.> ), and the relative inexperience at staying out of Bad Stuff™, we had to call it after Razorscale. Speaking of, the debuff was only stacking to 3 on me, so I was able to keep moving when solo-tanking Razorscale when the OT was practically one-shot, albeit very very slowly. This is new, and was a pleasant surprise, since it let us actually down the boss as the taunt-exchange just wasn't gonna happen! I'm glad my patience was able to hold out, because it certainly wasn't the Uld run that I was expecting.
- Naxx25. Good run. This was a 60%-or-so guild run by "stone axe clan" and I was one of the pug dps; apparently the guild had lost some members and was determined to complete the instance without them, and I was happy to help in trade for some upgrades to my tanking kit. What shocked me, though, was that I, apparently, really know my kitty dps rotations and can be a beast with them: I was steadily in the top 1, 2, 3 dps through the whole instance, even with a green trinket and 2 pieces of strength/armor tanking gear in my kitty kit, and even when the dps warriors left and I had to apply mangle myself! Wut?! Yeah, I didn't get it, I was outdpsing people in Ulduar gear. Kitties can be scary-good when they can keep their bleeds, shreds, and buffs in order... I know this well, as I regularly raid with a feral druid. By the end of the night, when we needed another tank for KT, the raid leaders refused to let me go bear because they didn't want to loose my dps. I was flattered, in spite of knowing that my own tank set was/is still pretty pathetic. They invited me to their Uld25 run for the next night; I was tempted to go, even though they said they were only looking at 4 bosses, but ended up going out of town instead (hubby wanted to pick up his new knife set! Shun classic, folded steel, he's quite proud of them.)
Around all of the raids, I was running heroics with various groups, some better than others; I hit exalted with the Ebon Blade and am working my way through revered with Sons of Hodir (I circled the Hodir valleys for hours picking up Everfrost chips). My friends list grew triple in size as I made note of those to contact for groups/raids, or who I generally thought were cool people. I'm also turning in my Nobles deck at the darkmoon faire today; I purchased the cards individually, and the whole of the deck cost me less than 3500g :)
So, overall, it was an interesting experience with high points as well as bad, and I have at least a semi-decent tanking kit now, particularly once I pick up my Greatness trinket :)

With the introduction of vehicle maintenance planning TomTom Business Solutions is helping businesses with commercial vehicles to optimise vehicle efficiency and reduce carbon emissions as a result. By ensuring fleets are well-maintained and that driver performance is optimised, the energy efficiency of vehicles can be improved by as much as 10 percent, according to a recent research by the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions.
'Effective maintenance planning coupled with TomTom technologies that improve driver performance, such as Active Driver Feedback, provides businesses with the tools to achieve these cost savings' said Thomas Schmidt, Managing Director TomTom Business Solutions. 'Costly repair bills can be avoided and the impact on the environment is minimized'
The new tool enables companies to make use of the real measured mileage from the vehicle to plan their vehicle maintenance intervals. In addition, more efficient processes for vehicle maintenance minimise vehicle downtime and the associated business costs.
With an easy-to-read online maintenance overview fleet operators can keep tabs on forthcoming maintenance such as service intervals and annual car inspections. Users can create maintenance tasks per vehicle, copy them to vehicle groups, monitor their status and plan accordingly.
Maintenance scheduling complements the WEBFLEET offering and is instantly available, at no charge for the 13,000 business users spread across Europe, North America, South Africa and Australia.

The disciplinary committee of the College of Physicians has imposed a one year suspension of the medial licence of Dr. Maurice Duquette, the doctor who prescribed erythropoietin (EPO) to some of his patients and athletes, including former cyclist Genevieve Jeanson .
This case has dragged on for seven years and seems to finally be coming to a conclusion.
Dr. Duquette now has 30 days to appeal the decision. Otherwise the suspension will begin on 7 January.
The disciplinary committee of the College of Physicians also imposed a fine of $ 24,000 as well as restrictions on his professional practice. He can not prescribe certain substances, including EPO and cannot treat athletes.
Last spring, Dr. Duquette was suspended for life by the Canadian Center for Ethics in sport because he prompted Genevieve Jeanson to use EPO. Jeanson's former coach, Andre Aubut, was sentenced to the same penalty.
Dr. Duquette is still awaiting a decision in another case involving him before the disciplinary committee of the College of Physicians. This time, it is his professional practice as an orthopedic surgeon at the hospital Fleury.

Mauer's homers under scrutiny as of late
MILWAUKEE -- Joe Mauer was a little surprised that the umpiring crew reviewed his seventh-inning home run in Monday's game against the Brewers at Miller Park. He was even more surprised given that it was the second time a home run of his was in question in three days.
Mauer's drive to left field Monday was initially ruled a ground-rule double by second-base umpire Angel Hernandez, but crew chief Dana DeMuth ruled it correctly as a homer after a brief review. On Saturday, a Mauer home run was reviewed and upheld against the Tigers.
"I was more surprised that that's the second time that's happened to me in three days," Mauer said. "I'm glad they went in there and looked at it and got it right. I'm 2-for-2, so that's good."
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire was in the clubhouse talking with starting pitcher Kevin Correia on Monday when he saw Mauer's drive and Hernandez's ruling. Gardenhire ran onto the field to make sure the umpires took a second look.
"It's always easier to see it on TV than it is close up, and when you're out there as an umpire, running out towards the line, sometimes it's tough," Gardenhire said. "That's why we have that replay to get it right, hopefully."
Mauer's homer was the second implementation of video review at Miller Park this season. The umps also conferred April 30 and overturned a call, resulting in a home run for Pirates outfielder Starling Marte.

|Moral :
|When Kirk fires at Deela, she steps out of the way of his phaser beam. Even assuming that this acceleration thing can make her move at a significant fraction of lightspeed, she would be going millions of times normal. But that would mean that for every minute which passed for the normal speed folk, a couple of years would pass for her. Since Spock had time to analyse the Scalosian water and come up with a counter-agent, Kirk would be an old man or dead by the time he got to him.
|Body Count :
|Compton is killed when he is scratched.
|Factoid :
|Lee Cronin is actually a pseudonym for Gene L. Coon. Coon worked on "The Wild Wild West" show when it did an episode with a very similar premise to this one.
The Scalosian city is a re-use of the Eminiar VII city from "A Taste of Armageddon".
When Kirk's coffee is tampered with, the Captain finds himself in a state of hyper-acceleration, moving so fast that the rest of the crew appear motionless in comparison. Due to radiation on their planet the Scalosians had become both hyper-accelerated and infertile, and had decided to sieze the Enterprise using their lightning speed to evade any response. Kirk finds his missing crewman, Compton, working with the Scalosians. When Compton is slightly injured he instantly dies - a side effect of the drug used to accelerate him.
Whilst Kirk tries to pretend to go along with the invasion, seducing the Scalosian leader Deela, Spock works to analyse what is happening aboard the ship. He is eventually able to isolate the drug used to accelerate Kirk and develop a cure. Taking the accelerant himself, he joins forces with Kirk to defeat the invaders and send them back to Scalos. Spock then gives Kirk the antidote and conducts a lightning-fast set of repairs on the ship before taking it himself.
However, like the other such episodes, if we ignore the impossibility of the basic premise and concentrate on the episode as a piece of drama, it is actually quite a good one. The concept of invaders that can move so fast that you can't possibly deal with them is an interesting and slightly disturbing one, and the scenes of accelerated time with the normal crew stood statue-like are visually interesting to say the least.
It's also good that the Scalosians are not a stereotypically evil species. Deela at least is actually quite a sympathetic character, and while her henchmen are rather more shallow you can't help but feel for the guy's situation - especially given the rather unsympathetic way she treats him.
All in all a pretty fair episode.

Brian Mullan's laser beam goal a high point in tough season for the Rapids' midfielder
More photos from the Rapids 2-0 victory over the Columbus Crew on Friday.
Brian Mullan was smiling again Friday night, a bright spot in a rough season.
The Littleton native had a look of shock and joy on his face after uncorking a bullet from 30-yards into the far-post upper-V to crack open a scoreless tie in the 55th minute Friday night. The Rapids went on to defeat the Eastern Conference-leading Columbus Crew, 2-0.
It's been a tough season for Mullan to say the least.

Here's a post where you can ask questions about the stuff I've worked on, and I'll try to answer.
_1/10 Closing Edit_ Since it's been a few days and I feel like a lot of the questions I can be useful in answering have been asked, I'm going to stop checking in on the thread here. To those that I didn't manage to answer questions for, I do apologize. If there's something I missed that you really think I'm the right person to answer, feel free to make a Boards post @me, pm on Reddit, or even Twitter if it's a short question. Thanks to everyone that came and asked stuff. The amount of traction the thread got was really surprising to me, and it made it really easy to burn through a lot of questions pretty efficiently, so I might try to do others like it a bit more often. Since most of the stuff I'm working on at the moment is WIP and under wraps, I likely won't be a big voice on Boards for awhile, but again, do feel free to reach out. Cheers, Repertoir __________ Hi everyone, Today I have been reading a thread by HIMM Sandwich that basically comes down to how it feels like Riot sometimes ignores player sentiment/feedback, and then goes silent when asked for answers. I won't be the best source of insight on projects that I didn't work on, but feel free to use this post as a place where you can ask specifically about any of the projects I've worked on in the last year or two, and I'll do my best to give you honest, direct answers about why things were made the way they were, and how I/we feel about these projects currently. Keep in mind that if they're outside of issues I worked on, it's likely I won't be able to give meaningful answers, and also that I won't guarantee you'll like what I have to share on some topics. Here's some of the stuff I'm likely to have insight into: * Past Projects: * Nidalee Champion Update * Ryze Champion Update * Ashe Champion Update * Juggernauts Champion Updates - Garen/Skarner * Marksmen Champion Updates - Quinn/Kog'Maw * Current Projects: * Taric Champion Update * Mages Champion Updates - ???/??? Feel free to ask about other stuff as well, but I will say I'm unlikely to be able to help on lots of other things. I should have time to give some answers the next few evenings. Cheers, Repertoir

Teide National Park
The Teide National Park will test your adventurous spirit to the maximum, because here you will have the chance to stand on the roof of Europe. The Teide peak is over 3,700 metres high, and will enable you to gaze out over a breathtaking sea of clouds spreading beneath your feet. Although the cable car will take you up almost to the summit, the last part has to be done on foot. You will also need a special permit.
The National Park offers you a whole range of challenges. For example, it has rock faces which are ideal for climbing at sites such as the Cañada del Capricho. You can also go mountaineering and hiking along the numerous paths in the Park. Your route will take you through an impressive volcanic landscape with a network of viewing points which provide spectacular views over the National Park, and on a clear day, over all the Canary Islands.
At night time, look up at the sky. Rarely will you have the chance to see so many stars at one time. We recommend the top of the Guajara mountains or the area around Parador hotel.

Malware: A Brief Timeline
We review products independently, but we may earn affiliate commissions from buying links on this page. Terms of use.
Recently, Google pulled around 60 apps from the Android Market because of malware concerns. According to the company, the apps, which were downloaded by around 200,000 users combined, were being used to collect sensitive information about users, while installing malicious code on affected devices. Google suspended developer accounts and contacted the authorities.
The situation conjuresup the not-so-pleasant reminder of just how far malware has come in the past four decades. It's evolved from the stuff of science fiction to an ever evolving threat across a spectrum of devices that we rely on every day.
This past January marked another dubious milestone, as Brain, the first reported self-replicating MS-DOS virus celebrated its 25th birthday. Looking back, Brain seems almost quaint: It was a virus that required the manual exchange of floppy disks between users, in order to propagate.
Since then, of course, the world has become infinitely more connected, and as with their analog namesakes, computer viruses thrive on connectedness. In recent years, mobile devices and social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, which thrive on sharing, have become hotbeds for infection. And while protection against such threats has evolved at a rapid pace, the threats themselves also seem one step ahead, intent on infecting as many systems as possible, destroying precious information in the process.
To mark this less than joyous occasion, let's take a look back at malware of systems past, from the poem reciting virus of the 70s to the worms of today, which wreak global havoc on our worldwide networks. It's hardly a definitive list, but it should give you some insight into just how far (unfortunately) malware has come.

Tech Update
Robotic Blank and Parts Handling
German handling-equipment manufacturer Strothmann (Marietta, GA) has extended its range of blank feeders by introducing the Feederplus8, an eight-axis linear robot that can transport and orient parts in numerous directions. The additional degrees of freedom provide for maximum flexibility in the feeding of blanks into complex dies, as well as for removing parts.
The new feeder can be installed in small press gaps with a minimum distance of 6,500 mm between press tables. The coordinated movement of the axes allows for processing speeds of 10 to 12 large parts/min.
Says Strothmann CEO Derek Clark: "The feeder can be installed in existing press applications with a small opening stroke, because at about 250 mm, the orientation axis is lean and can access all dies horizontally. One feeder per press gap is sufficient to remove the parts from the press, orient them and feed them into the following press."
Payload capacity is 120 kg, including blank, tooling and tooling adapter. It can optionally be equipped with an automatic tool changer, which attaches to a crossbar by means of a saddle or an adapter for the robot tooling.Strothmann (North America Division): 770/424-4141; www.strothmann.com

Biographical Dictionary of 18th Century Methodism Ten Volume Set
Rogal, Samuel
This series presents biographical sketches of all persons who were in any way associated with John and Charles Wesley during the more than fifty years that they traveled throughout Great Britain, as well as in the American colonies and on the European continent. Entries are arranged alphabetically, followed by dates of birth and death (if obtainable), and biographical information and quotes. At the end of each entry, the reader is directed to appropriate sources, the complete titles of which are found in the Bibliography.
". . . monumental. . . . The multivolume series does not confine itself to the eighteenth century nor to Methodists. It covers converts but also correspondents and critics of John and Charles Wesley. It ranges widely over the Christian tradition to treat individuals influential on or influenced by the Wesleys. . . . Each volume includes a number of featured entries, longer essay treatments of figures especially critical in the Wesleys' life and work. . . . concludes individual entries with a list of sources, specifying not only a reference but also the pertinent pages. These are rendered with short titles. A twenty-plus-page list of works cited and consulted included in each volume provides full titles. In addition to noting treatment in monographs on the subject being considered, Rogal also, and perhaps most importantly, indicates the places where the Wesleys, and particularly John, refer to this individual. . . . this set belongs with the Wesley works. . . It is a set that theological libraries should acquire." – Church History
"The task of compiling, editing, preparing the manuscript for publication must have been daunting, There are hundreds of entries in each of the volumes and there will be thousands of entries in the complete set. Undoubtedly, this is an indispensable reference work libraries and historians of 18th century Methodism must have." – Methodist History

Get the latest industry news, technology trends, and data science insights each week.
You're officially subscribed to the Teradata Blog. Check your inbox each week for our take on data science, business analytics, tech trends, and more.
So… the global financial meltdown.
With all of our sophisticated analytics and modelling, shouldn't we have been able to avoid the crisis?
The financial industry had lauded the analytical model known as Gaussian copula function as breakthrough for the modelling of complex risk, leading to unprecedented growth. Then, suddenly, in 2008 the financial system collapsed creating huge losses and disruption – the level of which, even today, is hard to comprehend.
Was it really that sudden? Why didn't the analytics see it coming?
The truth of the matter is that early-warning signs were ignored. Worse still, signals were not monitored and analytics were left unchecked for more than a decade while markets slow-marched towards the abyss.
By automating model execution with measurement and monitoring in place. By ensuring that slow-changing conditions are identified and acted upon. By being proactive.
And talking of proactivity, which would you rather have? A team of innovators or a team of mechanics? Mechanics respond to dashboard lights with diagnostics and repair programs. But R&D teams innovate, designing engineering solutions that prevent the glowing dashboard lights in the first place, reducing costs and maximizing performance. In the same way, analytical teams should be innovators, ensuring that analytical models are not outdated, underperforming or in the worst-case scenario, wrong.
Gaining control and implementing governance is essential. With access to more granular data and sophisticated machine-learning analytics, it's possible to have a model factory running simulations or forecasts for each customer, each product, and each store. Companies like eBay run thousands of tests on their digital platforms, concurrently, with every customer becoming a test subject. Wells Fargo can predict behavior within seconds and respond with a personalized offer within minutes. This opens up the possibility of modelling the world like never before, making predictions and acting on insights.
However, with the explosion in sophisticated machine learning, managing, tracking, and monitoring models is going to be our most formidable challenge to date.
The basis for any management and monitoring requires a clear understanding of what the expected outcome is (KPIs can help), predicted by our model. However, control metrics are also needed to measure the validity and accuracy of predictions. These measures provide a model interface; a communication channel that reports input-feed quality, algorithm performance and prediction accuracy, triggering proactive action and maintenance where required. This ensures models continue to deliver business results consistently.
The cause of remedial action is not usually a massive failing. Instead, slowly-changing business and environmental circumstances affect the underlying assumptions that went into building the original model. Dramatic changes such as the introduction of a new product or service will get enough traction to initiate corrective action, immediately. However, subtle changes don't attract the same level of attention. Shifts in customer behavior and market trends reveal themselves slowly (it can take years sometimes), and these small levels of degradation provide below-par results which lose the company money.
Constant review and recalibration ensure models are refreshed with old, outdated variables removed and new datasets introduced, generating variables that increase the knowledge input to a model and improve predictions.
Weekly, monthly, or quarterly, report automation allows constant baseline comparison, enabling experimentation – a process of trying hundreds and thousands of models to find the most accurate algorithm. Comparison with models from the past may also show that the performance of previous algorithms has been improved by access to increased data granularity and new variables. Previous models which were regarded as being too far ahead of their time can be dusted off and reintroduced.
Agile campaign management and a commitment to continual trial & error are essential. Letting models run feral can be bad news though. Take Target for example. The retailer identified a teenage pregnancy through predictive analytics and sent the girl appropriate marketing material, leaving an unwitting father to discover the truth from a coupon and deal with the consequences. Or Knight Trading's $440 million loss, a result of mistakenly launching an incorrect version of an algorithm. A measurement and monitoring framework should have interceded this model to create alerts and modify business actions.
Managing models through automation can prove enormously beneficial, but strict process and governance have to be observed to maintain control. The lineage of models and the understanding of their development explain the impact that models have on the bottom line.
Rather than being an afterthought, these activities should always be front of mind; repeatable processes, not just one-time exercises for model construction. They're just as important as insight generation and therefore analytical teams should focus on validation to enable model execution to build better business outcomes.

Philippines, Muslim rebels agree to peace in comprehensive pact
(AP) / 25 January 2014
Under the peace agreement, the Moro insurgents agreed to end violence in exchange for broader autonomy.
Miriam Coronel-Ferrer, front left, chairperson of Philippine Government Peace Panel, and Mohagher Iqbal, front right, chief negotiator for the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), exchange signed documents as Malaysian facilitator Abdul Ghafar Tengku Mohamed, front center, witnesses after the 43rd GPH-MILF Exploratory Talks in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Saturday, Jan. 25, 2014. - AP
The Philippine government and the country's largest Muslim rebel group completed talks Saturday on a deal to end four decades of fighting that has killed tens of thousands of people and helped foster Islamic extremism in Southeast Asia.
The accord between Filipino negotiators and the rebel Moro Islamic Liberation Front calls for Muslim self-rule in parts of the southern Philippines in exchange for the deactivation of the rebel force. Military presence in the proposed autonomous region would be restricted.
Much now will depend on how the accord is enforced, in particular whether the 11,000-strong rebel forces are able to maintain security in areas that would come under their control. At least four other smaller Muslim rebel groups are still fighting Manila's rule in the southern Mindanao region, and could act as spoilers.
Officials from both sides announced the conclusion of talks in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, which has brokered the yearslong negotiations. The accord and three other pacts signed last year make up a final peace agreement that is to be signed in the Philippine capital, Manila, possibly next month, presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said.
"This will give the just and lasting peace that our brothers in Mindanao are seeking." said Lacierda, referring to the volatile southern region and homeland of minority Muslims in the predominantly Roman Catholic nation.
Chief government negotiator Miriam Ferrer said that concluding the talks "marks the beginning of the bigger challenge ahead, which is the ... implementation."
Saturday's accord has been the most significant progress made over 13 years of negotiations to tame a tenacious insurgency that has left more than 120,000 people dead and derailed development in Muslim-populated southern regions that are among the most destitute in the Philippines.
The United States and other governments have supported the talks, worried that rebel strongholds could become breeding grounds for Al Qaeda-linked extremists who have sought sanctuary in the region in the past.
Under the peace agreement, the Moro insurgents agreed to end violence in exchange for broader autonomy. An existing five-province Muslim autonomous region is to be replaced by a more powerful, better-funded and potentially larger region to be called Bangsamoro.
Despite the milestone, both the government and the rebels acknowledged that violence would not end overnight in a region that has long grappled with a volatile mix of crushing poverty, huge numbers of illegal firearms, clan wars and weak law enforcement.
One rebel group vowed to keep fighting.
"We will continue the struggle," said Abu Misri, spokesman of Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Movement, which broke off from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front three years ago. "What we want is an Islamic state, an Islamic people, an Islamic constitution," he told The Associated Press by telephone Saturday.
Rebels from another group, the Moro National Liberation Front, took scores of hostages in September when they seized coastal communities in southern Zamboanga city after accusing the government of reneging on its commitments under a 1996 autonomy deal. Thousands of troops ended the 10-day uprising with a major offensive that killed more than 200 people, most of them insurgents.
The accord Saturday outlined the gradual "decommissioning" of the rebel forces, some of whom could be absorbed into a regional security force. Another pact concluded involved the extent of control the proposed autonomous region would wield over resource-rich waters like the Sulu Sea.
Chief rebel negotiator Mohagher Iqbal said the latest accord "is the most sensitive, emotional and, as far as I know, it entails a lot of sacrifices on the part of the (rebels) because to pay for real peace in Mindanao we have to decommission our forces."
He said their weapons will be "put beyond use" under an arrangement to be overseen by an International Decommissioning Body.
Evan Jendruck from the IHS Jane's Terrorism and Insurgency Centre said the success of the new peace agreement hinges on the ability of the former Moro insurgents to put other armed groups under control. While the military would still have a presence in the new autonomous region, security would basically be in the hands of a Bangsamoro force composed of former insurgents.
"Will MILF be able to fill the power vacuum? If they don't do that, then the peace process won't go forward," Jendruck said.
Iqbal said the peace process would not end with the signing of a peace accord. He said that a government-rebel council still needed to complete drafting a law creating the new autonomous region. The legislation then needed to get approval from Philippine Congress, where it is expected to come under intense scrutiny.
Despite the optimism, "let me caution ourselves this early that the final destination of this journey of peace is not within immediate reach yet," Iqbal said.
A preliminary peace accord that was about to be signed in Malaysia was turned down in 2008 by the Philippine Supreme Court, sparking rebel attacks on Christian communities that provoked a major military offensive and shattered a cease-fire.

In talking to the players on the range this week at the Shell Houston Open, the one thing they told me they were working on was balance and rhythm. A few mentioned other minor adjustments – ball position, alignment cues, that sort of thing – but the overarching theme was maintaining good balance and consistent rhythm in their swings.
There will be plenty of stories written about D.A. Points using his mother's Ping Anser putter to win at Redstone Golf Club, and rightfully so given the clutch putts he holed down the stretch, including the 13-footer at the last for the victory. But D.A. would never have been in that position if he and his instructor, Gary Gilchrist, hadn't worked hard on restoring balance and rhythm to his golf swing by quieting his lower body.
D.A.'s tendency was to let his legs and hips outrace his upper body. Below the waist, he was already in a finish position before the club ever reached the ball. Not only did that cause a power leak but, to compensate, D.A. had to fling the club at the ball with his hands. Being a coordinated athlete, he was able to get away with that move much of the time, but when his game and his confidence went south, the flaw accentuated his misses.
Gilchrist knew that if could quiet D.A.'s leg action, he could re-center his balance, allowing a fuller release of the golf club through impact. So they began working to keep D.A.'s right foot on the ground longer.
In practice, he still hits a lot of balls with his right heel completely planted on the ground throughout the swing. Now that can produce some vicious hooks on the driving range, but it also promotes a more centered, rhythmic swing that generates tremendous power at impact.
There are plenty of drills to help you with balance and rhythm. Hitting shots with your feet together is one. Taking your regular stance but pulling your knees close together so that your weight remains on the inside is another.
You can hit balls barefooted (if your club will allow it), or place the ball well outside your front foot and step into the shot – a drill Jack Nicklaus used to work on with Jack Grout – or pull your right foot back in an exaggerated closed stance and hit shots from there.
A PGA Professional can help you with other specific drills. They might look silly – certainly D.A. didn't look like a PGA Tour winner hitting balls with his right foot stuck to the ground – but they work.
And as D.A. Points will certainly tell you, improving your balance and rhythm can lead to some very valuable results.
PGA Professional Scott Cory is the general manager at Cypresswood Golf Club in Spring, Texas

A man has died this afternoon after being hit by a train on the railway line close to Todmorden station.
Officers from British Transport Police were called shortly after 1.30pm and attended alongside the Yorkshire Ambulance Service.
A BTP spokesman said: "Work is now underway in order to identify the man and inform his family.
"This incident is not currently being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner."
The railway line was blocked while emergency services responded, causing delays and cancellations to a number of Northern services.

Extreme weather: Get ready to see more of it, scientists say
A map of significant climate events for the United States in June looks almost apocalyptic: hellish heat, ferocious fires and severe storms leaving people injured, homeless and even dead.
That followed a warm winter and early season droughts. News came Monday that the mainland United States experienced its warmest 12 months since the dawn of record-keeping in 1895.
And on Tuesday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released a report calling 2011 a year of extreme weather.
Remember Hurricane Irene? Or the floods in Thailand and southern China and the deadly drought in the Horn of Africa? Heavy rains in Brazil caused massive landslides and much of Europe suffered through a sweltering heatwave.
It's tempting to simplify things and blame it all on global warming.
After all, nine of the top 10 warmest years globally have occurred since 2000, according to NOAA.
But weather can be complicated.
The real challenge is figuring out whether a particular storm or flood was due to climate change or natural variables, said Chris Field, founding director of the Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Ecology.
The NOAA report, for instance, noted some events that were exacerbated by other factors. However, climate change increases global risks, Field said.
"As we change the climate, we're shifting the odds for extreme weather," he said.
It's sort of like upping your chances of a car accident if you're speeding.
The four classes of extremes -- high heat, heavy precipitation and floods, duration and intensity of droughts and extremes related to higher sea levels -- have changed in the last 50 years, Field said.
"Increasingly, we are loading the dice towards these very damaging kinds of extremes," he said.
But that's not to say every weather event is related to warming temperatures.
Southern Greenland, northern Russia, and the eastern two-thirds of North America have felt the greatest warmth in 2012, but many places -- Alaska, Mongolia and most of Australia -- have been cool anomalies.
Russia declares day of mourning for flood victims
The men's final at the Wimbledon tennis tournament Sunday was stopped briefly for rain. Rain, in Britain? Although it has a reputation for sogginess, it's been cooler and wetter than normal for the last few months in the British isles.
America's northwest has also escaped the heat. The state of Washington just marked its seventh coolest June ever.
"When you've got a planet that's nearest warmest levels on record, that doesn't mean every part of the world is going to be the warmest ever," said Jeff Masters, director of meteorology for Weather Underground.
"The U.S. has been unlucky enough to be in that sort of pattern," he said.
Jake Crouch, a climate scientist at the National Climatic Data Center, said weather patterns -- including the jet stream or the ocean-atmosphere systems in the Pacific known as El Niño and La Niña -- have a great effect on weather.
In 2011, two back-to-back La Niñas, each characterized by cooler-than-average water temperatures in the eastern Pacific, affected significant weather events -- including droughts in the southern United States and northern Mexico and in east Africa.
There is debate over how climate change affects such weather patterns but the NOAA-led "state of the climate" report said La Niña-related heat waves are now 20 times more likely to occur than 50 years ago.
Scientists also analyzed the United Kingdom's very warm November 2011 and a very cold December 2010. They said that cold Decembers are now half as likely to occur versus 50 years ago, whereas warm Novembers are now 62 times more likely.
The report pointed out that some weather events, like the Thailand flooding, are influenced by humans in other ways.
"Although the flooding was unprecedented, the amount of rain that fell in the river 'catchment' area was not very unusual," the report said. "Other factors, such as changes in reservoir policies and increased construction on the flood plain, were found most relevant in setting the scale of the disaster."
The 2012 hurricane season has gotten off to a robust start, though meteorologist Thomas Downs of Expert Weather Investigations attributed that to a cyclical warming of Atlantic waters.
"We've had a tremendous start to the system. We are in the middle of a warm phase," he said.
Hurricane Andrew in 1992 was devastating, but it was also the first named storm of that year -- in August.
By contrast, this year, the United States has already lived through four named storms -- two in May and two in June. The last was Tropical Storm Debby, which flooded Florida.
The warmer waters can lead to warmer temperatures on land, Downs said. So can extended drought.
"The biggest thing of this year is the cumulative effect of the last two seasons. Some parts of the United States have been under drought conditions for the past two years," he said, and did not have much rain in April and May. Less solar energy is absorbed by hot, parched land.
"The drought amplifies temperatures -- 90 becomes 100. 100 becomes 105."
"The reality is when you do have extreme weather, it is highlighted," Downs said. "People want to attribute it to one factor or another."
The other reality is that Americans and others will likely be paying a lot more for cereal, sweeteners and meat as the price of corn goes up because of failed crops.
"The crops are hurting," said Chad Hart, a grain market specialist at Iowa State University.
The eastern part of the Corn Belt is especially hard-hit. In states like Iowa, farmers are in the critical stage of corn pollination.
"We need a good inch of moisture this week," Hart said. "And there's no rain in the forecast.
"That means we are looking for a much lower yield for crops we produce in the Midwest."
That means farmers will be devastated and consumers could see higher prices at the grocery store for corn, soy and wheat products, as well as meat from animals raised on corn feed.
They will also be paying more to utility companies for running air-conditioners as the sizzling summer continues.
"In July, August and September, there's an above-average chance of warmer-than-average temperatures," Crouch said.
The hottest year on record for the United States is 1998. Crouch said 2012 is on track to beat it.
Perhaps people should get used to hotter temperatures, experts say, because the trends point that way.
A heatwave that occurred every 20 years will, by the year 2080, occur every one to two years, Field said.
The extreme weather the world is seeing now is a precursor to more, he said. And it paints a picture of what global warming looks like.
"There are a lot of steps that can be taken to prepare people for climate extremes," he said. "It's kind of a situation that warrants very serious thought."
In releasing the state of the climate report Tuesday, Deputy NOAA Administrator Kathryn Sullivan said 2011 will be remembered for extreme weather. This year seems to be on the same track.
From now on, she said, every weather event takes place in the context of a changing global environment.

Hi i would just like to add a
Hi i would just like to add a small comment. These areas that are getting tremendous heat this summer in the northern hemisphere will most likely recieve devastating cold winters to follow. For example Russia two summers ago. The large high pressures that generate the heat in summer generate the cold in the winter. These patterns tend to hang around for quite a long period. Keep an eye on the coming winter in the USA. Cold doesnt seem to make the news like warm does?

Newborns and young infants can't easily raise their heads, so they need special protection from suffocation. But small children are at risk, too.
Protect kids from the dangers of suffocation by following these rules:
If you're expecting a baby or already have a child, it's a good idea to:
To check your childproofing efforts, get down on your hands and knees in every room of your home for a kid's-eye view. Be aware of your child's surroundings and what could be dangerous.
Completely childproofing your home can be difficult. If you can't childproof the entire house, you can shut the doors (and install doorknob covers) to any room a child shouldn't enter to prevent wandering into places that haven't been properly childproofed. Doorknob covers and childproof locks for sliding doors are also great for keeping little ones from leaving your home.
Of course, how much or how little you childproof your home is up to you. Keeping a close eye on kids is the very best way to protect them from injuries.
Whether you have a baby, toddler, or school-age child, your home should be a safe place for your little one to explore. After all, touching, holding, climbing, and exploring are the activities that develop your child's body and mind.

discountvials necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 94 diseños de 22 diseñadores freelance.
Discount Vials sells glass vials, test tubes, closures, droppers. Feel free to be creative, we are open to most any idea at this point. Need a wow effect.
Discount Vials
See description ..... ideas?
Desired Color Scheme:
Primary Colors ... BRIGHT, BOLD colors or ????
Desired Style:
Crisp and Clean yet Perhaps slightly "Over the top"
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
PLEASE take these as general suggestions. Feel free to wow us with something completely different ... we are approaching this with quite a few ideas but a very open mind.
Discount Vials is the retail arm of a three business enterprise selling the same product line. One is staid and professional selling to corporate and university accounts, one dealing with government entities, and this one Discount Vials selling to small business, hobyists, teachers, etc.
- Company Name: Discount Vials no dot com in the logo at all
- Tag Line: We have used "Quality Products - Great Prices - Exceptional Service" but don't really like it. Feel free to change or leave off. There has been much discussion as to whether we should use a tagline at all ..... let your design be your guide.
- Style: Informal to very informal ... probably stopping short of cartoonish .... but still crisp and clean.
- Should be usable for web and print, color and b/w
- Probably a white background -- but feel free to change our mind.
- BRIGHT, DISTINCT, PRIMARY Colors ( 2 or 3 color?) For this site I'm thinking along the lines of NASCAR type color schemes … bright, distinctive, contrasting and a little over the top
A visual image of a vial(s) (glass, straight walls, screw cap) either in the form of a photo or more probably a graphic should be included
The letter "I†in Discount and/or Vials at first look lends itself to some kind of treatment using a vial for the letter(s) but nothing has ever REALLY caught our eye here. That doesn't mean it's out of the question, the fact that we have never seen that effect that we liked could DEFINITELY be more a function of a lack of design ability than a flawed idea.
No mandatory colors, we are starting from scratch. HOWEVER, that being said, going, as stated earlier, we want an "over the top" type look and feel so we have mainly considered the classic "sale flyer†type colors. BRIGHT Red, Bright yellow, Royal blue something like http://www.harborfreightusa.com (although that site seems to use two different yellows … we like the yellow in the text at the top NOT the more mustard like color of the left side bar) Orange, Green are also possibilities. Best Buy, DeWalt, also comes to mind for colors schemes.
Again,. these are guidelines, feel free to try something different, we have seen some INCREDIBLE designs and ideas looking at other contests that we never would have thought of. Be creative, we will consider all designs carefully and provide feedback to all participants.
Questions or suggestions very welcome!!

Tech Update
Press-Pit Lining Stops Contamination
This lining installs in any age pit, new or old, including heavily contaminated pits. The lining can be installed directly over hydrocarbon-saturated concrete or old conventional coatings and linings without removal or surface preparation. Flat pit floors can be sloped for drainage, allowing for collection of liquids for recycling.
The Techcoat lining currently is operational in four large press pits at a major light-truck-bed stamping facility in Southern California. The linings were installed over oil-, hydraulic fluid- and lubricant-saturated concrete. These pit linings immediately stopped migration of liquid contaminants into the concrete and subsoil and now collect 100 percent of all liquids entering the pits, according to Techcoat officials. Liquid flows to a center swale and is directed to a small sump for removal by either periodic or automatic pumping.

About Sports in North East England
Sports have always been very popular in North East England and the region is proud of both its sportspeople and venues, many of which can rival the best of their kind in the country. There are many opportunities in the region to engage in a variety of sport activities both actively and as a spectator.
The world's most popular sport is also extremely popular in North East England. The region may not have as many Premier League teams as other England's regions but it has two very successful clubs both of which have took the Championship titles and both of which are currently playing in the Premier League – Newcastle United F.C. and Sunderland A.F.C. Newcastle United ended the 2011-12 season as 5th, while Sunderland was a little bit less successful, ending the season as 13th.
The sport that is most often associated with Scotland has a rich tradition in the North East as well. History of golf in North East England of course cannot compare to that of Scotland but its golf courses can rival some of the finest ones not only in England but the entire UK. Gems such as Seaton Carew, Brancepeth Castle and Rockliffe Hall in County Durham can satisfy even the most demanding golfers. Another jewel in North East England is the Close House's Colt course in Northumberland. It opened only in 2011 but it immediately came to the list of 100 best golfer's destinations in the UK.
Just like the rest of England, the North East is very much into cricket that has been enjoyed here since the Elizabethan era. Two cricket clubs from the North East form the County cricket – Yorkshire and Durham, both of which won the County Championship titles, Yorkshire as many as 31. Durham County Cricket Club can't commend itself with as many titles but it was granted the first-class status only in 1992. Yorkshire, on the other hand, is competing in the County Championship since its constitution in 1889.
It may not attract as many spectators as football and cricket but it is a very popular sport throughout the region also thanks to the successes of North East foremost athletes. Some of the greatest names of North East athletics include the distance runner Jim Alder, the legendary Brendan Foster who also founded the Great North Run, Steve Cram who dominated the running scene in the 1980s and more recently, Chris Tomlinson who won Silver medal at the 2008 World Indoor Championships and Bronze at the 2010 European Championships.
Horse Racing
Horse racing has a long tradition in the North East, dating back to at least the early 17th century. It remains a popular sport, while the venues attracting most spectators include the Redcar Racecourse, Ripon Racecourse, Thirsk Racecourse, Newcastle Racecourse and Sedgefield Racecourse, to mention only a few.

Serves: 8 corn dogsSpecial equipment: 8 sets chopsticks, not separated
1) Pour oil into a deep fryer or large heavy pot and heat to 190C. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the polenta, flour, salt, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and cayenne pepper.
2) In a separate bowl, combine the jalapeno, corn, onion, and buttermilk. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients all at once, and stir only enough times to bring the batter together; there should be lumps. Set batter aside and allow to rest for 10 mins.
3) Scatter the cornflour into a dry pie pan. Roll each hot dog in the cornflour and tap well to remove any excess.
4) Transfer enough batter to almost fill a large drinking glass. Refill the glass as needed. Place each hot dog on chopsticks, and quickly dip in and out of the batter. Immediately and carefully place each hot dog into the oil, and cook until coating is golden brown, about 4 to 5 mins. With tongs, remove to cooling rack, and allow to drain for 3 to 5 mins.

Planets (Preservation and Long-term Access Through Networked Services) has released the first of four filmed and written studies to show how national libraries and archives in Europe are using Planets tools to preserve large and valuable digital collections. DigitalPreservationEurope (DPE) fosters collaboration and synergies between many existing national initiatives across the European Research Area. DPE addresses the need to improve coordination, cooperation and consistency in current activities to secure effective preservation of digital materials.
DPE defines digital preservation as follows:
Digital preservation is a set of activities required to make sure digital objects can be located, rendered, used and understood in the future. This can include managing the object names and locations, updating the storage media, documenting the content and tracking hardware and software changes to make sure objects can still be opened and understood.Essentially, DPE is concerned with preserving the digital world. Scanning and digitizing is only part of the solution to record preservation. Once the document, photograph, video or audio file has been created, there is still the issue of migrating and preserving the digitized files in formats that will be readable to machines in the future. Quoting again from the DPE website:
- "Digital preservation combines policies, strategies and actions to ensure access to reformatted and born digital content regardless of the challenges of media failure and technological change. The goal of digital preservation is the accurate rendering of authenticated content over time." (ALA 2007:2)
- "The act of maintaining information, in a correct and Independently Understandable form, over the Long Term." (CCSDS 2002: 1-11)
- "All activities concerning the maintenance and care for/curation of digital or electronic objects, in relation to both storage and access." (Research Councils UK 2008: 6)
Digital objects are much more 'fragile' than traditional analogue documents such as books or other hard copy mediums. Digital objects are fragile because they require various layers of technological mediation before they can be heard, seen or understood by people. Digital objects are also much more venerable to physical damage. One scratch on CD-ROM containing 100 e-books can make the content inaccessible, whereas to damage 100 hard copy books by one scratching move is - fortunately - impossible. A flash memory stick can drop into glass of water or get magnetized, portable hard drive or laptop can slip from your hands and get irreparably damaged in a second.
Digital objects require pro-active intervention to remain accessible. While you can put a book on a shelf and return to it in upwards of 100 years and still open it and see the content as it was intended by the author/publisher, the same approach of benign neglect to a digital object is almost a guarantee that it will be inaccessible in the future.Genealogists, especially those with huge investments of time and energy into large database files need to be not just interested, but obsessed with digital preservation. All this reminds me, it is time to migrate my files again.

What is Neurology?
Neurology is the study of the brain and nervous system, including the spinal cord and nerves. Disorders of the nervous system can affect many parts of the body, and a neurological exam must be quite thorough. A neurologist examining a new patient will check for any issues with:
- motor skills (the way your brain and muscles work together)
- sensory skills (sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell)
- nerve function
- coordination and balance
- changes in mood or behavior
A neurologist can order different kinds of tests to check the function of the brain and nerves. These tests may include a head CT scan (a type of 3-dimensional x-ray), an electroencephalogram (which measures the electrical impulses inside the brain), an MRI (a detailed image of the brain or spinal cord), or electromyography (which uses electricity to test nerve function). The results of the exam and the tests help neurologists diagnose and form treatment plans for disorders like multiple sclerosis, tremors, stroke, and migraine headaches.
Some neurological problems, such as certain brain tumors, may require surgical treatment. Since neurologists do not perform surgery, they will refer patients who need operations to a surgical subspecialist, such as a neurosurgeon. Beyond surgery, a neurologist might recommend any of the following treatments:
- medication (such as interferon for MS or topiramate for migraines)
- laser therapy (class IV laser treatment is sometimes used to alleviate peripheral neuropathy pain)
- physical therapy (stretches and exercises can increase balance and range of motion, helping patients to move more easily and with less pain)
Therapies such as these can improve quality of life for patients dealing with neurological disorders. Neurologists help their patients sense and interact with the world at their very best.
