text: TheSubaruJunkie 46 Report post Posted January 3, 2006 This particular modification was done by using the map lights from a 1987 Subaru XT and putting them in my 1983 GL Wagon. I removed the map light setup from the donor car at the junk yard and brought it home and began thinking of a way to secure it to the roof of my car. The original map lights screw into threaded inserts welded to the roof of the XT. Any Subaru that does not have map lights as an option will not have these threaded inserts. Therefore I thought of an idea, and it proved to work. Here we see the map lights. In the center there is a single bulb that turns on by either the door, or the switch provided. On each side of the center light are single bulbs that can be turned on by the push of a button. This is the location at which I removed the lights from the XT, and plan on installing them on my GL Wagon. Because there are no threads in the roof of my car, I made a plan to fabricate a metal plate that would be long enough to extend 2" or more beyond the sides of the map light itself. Then I would screw the map light setup into the plate creating a clamp that would hold the maplight in place against the lining in my roof. Here you see the map lights without the plastic cover, and the metal plate I created to use as my clamp. Before I started the project, I put the map light against the roof of the car, and used a pen and marked the sides and the front and rear of the maplight setup. Then I used a box cutter (razor blade) and made an incision that was about 1/2" smaller in width & length than the map light setup. In this photo, you can see a small mark on the right side of the hole... that is the actual width of the map lights. You want to leave enough room for the light to secure itself against the roof lining... but make a hole that is large enough so the bulbs and the bottom of the maplights can fit safely inside the roof. For the metal plate, I used an old hacksaw blade. It was flimsy enough to bend and sturdy enough to hold the light into place once under pressure. I used the original holes in the maplights to mark where the 2 screw's would go, then used a drill and put a couple holes in the blade as seen in Figure 1. Then, as a added precaution I bent the blade so that it would put more pressure at the ends so that it would hold the light snug against the roof lining as shown in Figure 2. Before mounting the light, I had to run some new wires to the maplight setup. The plug that originally goes to the maplights has 2 wires, negative & positive. When I took the maplights, I also took the plug and a fair amount of wire along with to make sure I had enough to add more if needed. I used the original wires that goto the dome light, and spliced into those. Then ran new wire from the dome light to the new hole in the front of the car. In order for the map lights to work properly, you need to ground the hacksaw blade because the map lights use the mounting screw's as a ground to complete the circuit when the doors are closed. Here you can see the way it will be assembled. Figure 3 shows the roof lining, the map lights, and the way the hacksaw blade will be positioned. It was difficult to line up the hacksaw blade with the holes and then screw it in, but here is the easiest way I found to do it. Screw in one end, and leave the other end unscrewed. Then slide the unscrewed end into the hole until you have enough room to slide the other end of the hacksaw blade into the hole. Attach the plug for the wiring. Center the maplights and try to squeeze your fingers into the hole and bend the hacksaw blade downward so it is against the maplights... then try to align the hacksaw blade so the hole is in the correct position and then slide the screw through the maplight hole and into the hacksaw blade. When the screw is successfully in the hacksaw, remove your fingers from the hole... make sure the lights are centered and there are no wires in the way, and tighten the screw's. Figure 4 shows what the completed setup should look like. Screwing the maplights to the hacksaw can be a difficult procedure, but with alot of patience it can be done. I didn't ground my hacksaw blade, so my lights only work if the door is open. I will have to remove everything and solve that problem some other time. Here's a few shots of the finished project. Now I can finally see what that map really sais! -Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First Italian astronaut to be flown to the International Space Station on board a Russian spacecraft
ESA PR 6-2002. ESA astronaut Roberto Vittori will become the first Italian to lift off from Baikonur on board a Russian Soyuz vehicle on 25 April 2002, when he starts a ten-day mission - codenamed 'Marco Polo' - to the International Space Station.
ASI is the agency sponsoring this flight and the related experimental programme, under the terms of a framework agreement between the European Space Agency on the one hand and the Russian Aviation and Space Agency (Rosaviakosmos) and the Russian company RSC Energia on the other.
The mission is a further mark of Europe's determination to intensify its fruitful cooperation with Russia, as ESA's Director of Manned Spaceflight and Microgravity, Jörg Feustel-Büechl, confirms: "Roberto Vittori's mission to the International Space Station is another important milestone in the Euro-Russian cooperation which is contributing to the strategic development of both partners. It is one of a series of flight opportunities for European astronauts; the next is planned for October".
A test pilot and Lieutenant Colonel in the Italian Air Force, Roberto Vittori, one of three Italian astronauts selectioned by ASI in the European Astronaut Corps, will be Flight Engineer on the Soyuz vehicle, alongside the Russian Soyuz Commander, Yuri Gidzenko, and Flight Participant Mark Shuttleworth, from South Africa. He will spend 8 days on the Russian segment of the International Space Station.
The main objectives of the 'Marco Polo' mission are to exchange the Station's current Soyuz vehicle, which serves as the main emergency rescue craft for the Space Station crew, and to carry out a number of ASI and ESA experiments on board the ISS.
ASI experiments:
- Alteino, to study the effects of cosmic particles on brain functions
- Chiro, to monitor impairment of muscle function in weightlessness conditions
- Vest, to validate the in-orbit functionality of garments designed to reduce the weight and volume of astronaut's clothing
ESA experiment:
- BMI, an instrument measuring blood pressure
Roberto Vittori has been training for his qualification as Flight Engineer in Russia at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre, near Moscow, since August.

Set up 2-Step Verification
Set up 2-Step Verification for your domain
Enable 2-Step Verification for your domain
Sign in to your Google Admin console.
Sign in using your administrator account (does not end in @gmail.com).
- Click Security > Basic settings.
Where is it?
- Under 2-Step Verification, check Allow users to turn on 2-step verification.
This makes 2-Step Verification available for your users, but does not automatically enroll them. To enroll, users need to configure their verification settings individually. See Turn on 2-Step Verification.
Once all users have enrolled in 2-Step Verification, you can enforce its use following the instructions in Enforcement.
Account recovery recommendations for administrators
Here are recommendations to make administrator use of 2-Step Verification more reliable and secure:
- Avoid using secondary email addresses that do not support 2-Step Verification themselves. If those accounts become compromised, so can your Google administrator account.
- Organizations with multiple administrators should use each other's help for account recovery rather than a secondary email address.
- Organizations with a single administrator should print out backup codes to speed account recovery and avoid the use of insecure secondary email addresses.
- Administrators who want more control over how codes are received are encouraged to use our smartphone app with up-to-date software, and printed backup codes.
Tips for deploying to users
- Your users can't enroll in 2-Step Verification by going to https://www.google.com/accounts/SmsAuthConfig. Instead, instruct your users to follow these steps to get to their 2-Step enrollment page.
- The URL https://www.google.com/accounts/IssuedAuthSubTokens doesn't take your users to the Authorized Access to your Google Account page. Instead, instruct your users to follow these steps to generate an App Password for their mobile device.
And to help users make a smooth transition to using their new sign-in process, we recommend that you deploy this security feature as follows:
- Notify your users of this new security process and include instructions on how to get started. See a sample email notification.
- Point your Help Desk or Support staff to the Troubleshooting 2-Step Verification information to help them get up to speed.
- Consider running a pilot program targeting users with smartphones. You can set up a deployment day where your users take their phones and laptops to your Help Desk. We recommend that your IT staff sets up 2-Step Verification for your users and enters App Passwords where needed in their mobile devices and desktop applications.
Provide a lead time for users to enroll in 2-Step Verification before enforcement
Once you've enabled User enrollment to 2-step verification, you need all your users to enroll before you activate enforcement. You can give your users a monitored amount of time to enroll. On the ending date, users who haven't yet enrolled are locked out of their accounts.
Sign in to your Google Admin console.
Sign in using your administrator account (does not end in @gmail.com).
- Click Security > Basic settings.
Where is it?
- Select the Go to advanced settings to enforce 2-step verification > > link.
- The Security > Advanced security settings opens.
- Under Enforcement, check Turn on enforcement from date.
- Click on the date field to open the calendar.
- Use the calendar controls or enter a date by hand to specify an ending date when all users will have deployed 2-Step Verification. We recommend that this date be two to four weeks in the future.
Once you've enabled Turn on enforcement from date, your users see an interstitial page each time they log in, asking them to enroll.
They also receive reminder emails until they enroll. These emails are sent once a week and then daily for the last 5 days before the ending date.
Disable 2-Step Verification for your domain

IUCN conducted two Payment for Environmental Services (PES) training workshops for commune, district, and provincial government officers and other PES stakeholders in Lam Dong Province in April and May 2008.
Lam Dong is one of the pilot provinces for Payment for Forest Environmental Services in Viet Nam. The province is upstream of many rivers that supply water for domestic use and hydropower production in downstream cities and provinces including Ho Chi Minh City.
The main objective of the training was to strengthen the understanding of the legal and economic conditions of PES for government officials responsible for biodiversity conservation, natural resources management, and tourism development.
During the training workshop, participants learned about the concept of PES as a sustainable financing mechanism for natural resources conservation and management, and discussed how to apply this in the context of Viet Nam. Examples of successful PES implementation schemes in other countries were shared to demonstrate the usefulness of PES application.
Participants also discussed the Decision 380 from the Primer Minister on piloting Payments for Forest Environmental Services and the implementation plan of the Decision in Lam Dong Province. Discussions identified opportunities and constraints to implementing the pilot PES policy in the province and resulted in suggesting solutions to meet these potential challenges.
The first training was conducted on April 24 and 25 in Da Teh District, Lam Dong Province. Forty-seven representatives from Da Teh District and Quoc Oai, An Nhon, Da Lay, Da Kho, and Huong Lam Communes attended. These participants are representatives of People's Committees, Forest Protection Unites, Forest Management Boards, Cadastral Offices, and Education Offices.
Sixty Lam Dong provincial and Lac Duong district officials and other PES stakeholders from the province attended the second training on May 28 and 29 in Da Lat City.
The workshops were coordinated under the Dong Nai River Basin Conservation Landscape Project within the Asia Regional Biodiversity Conservation Program (ARBCP). IUCN organized the workshops in close collaboration with Winrock International, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) as well as local partners.
It is expected that the participants, with an improved understanding of PES and equipped with the basic skills to manage the implementation of PES policy, will be able to facilitate compliance with PES policy, ensuring that the rights and responsibilities of providers and users are upheld.

With its balmy climate and residents who would rather go to the beach than drive on an interstate, Honolulu has the smallest metropolitan carbon footprint in the United States.
By way of contrast, mix an icy Kentucky winter with coal-fired power plants and residents who often hit the highways, and you end up with the metro area of Lexington-Fayette, Ky., rated as having the largest carbon footprint in the nation.
These two extremes are part of a report issued Thursday by the Brookings Institution in Washington, which looks at the per capita carbon footprint of the 100 largest metro areas in the US, based on residential energy use and highway transportation. The smallest carbon emissions are generally in warmer areas or cities with a highly developed public transit system. Most are in the West.
The worst emitters are mainly in the mid-Southern and Midwestern parts of the US, areas subject to winter weather. Urban sprawl there has made for long commutes in automobiles, and most of the region's electricity comes from coal. The cost of energy in these areas is lower compared with metro regions with smaller carbon footprints.
The Brookings report is likely to be controversial since few cities want to be lumped at the bottom of the heap, and critics point out that it does not look at all aspects of carbon emissions. But the report may also help some cities and regions see how other areas are reducing their carbon emissions in their transportation systems, power generation, heating and cooling of homes, and even land use.
The report is coming out a week before debate is expected to begin in the US Senate on legislation that calls for a 70 percent reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050 and imposes a price on carbon emissions.
"To me, the greatest takeaways from the report are the relative efficiency of metropolitan and urban areas, the variation of their performance, and the multiple influences that determine that," says Mark Muro, policy director of the Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings. "Metros are responsible for a large amount of the nation's emissions but also offer the best prospects for large savings."
Partial data for emissions rankings
Mr. Muro is quick to acknowledge that the data are only partial, in large part because of the difficulty in obtaining accurate information. The two major sources of carbon-emissions data are 2000 and 2005 US Department of Transportation statistics on highway usage as well as information obtained from Platts, a subsidiary of McGraw-Hill, on residential energy usage. But the rankings do not include traffic on local roads or the emissions of commercial, industrial, or government users.
"We really have a fragmentary picture of the country," Muro says. "This is the beginning of the conversation."
Despite the shortcomings in the report, some groups still believe it has value. "It illustrates the importance of local governments since emissions are local and so are solutions," says Annie Strickler, a spokeswoman for ICLEI (International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives), an umbrella organization of local governments working on sustainability issues.
ICLEI, which is based in Oakland, Calif., is in the process of a more comprehensive rating of cities on sustainability. It will try to cover all sources of carbon emissions.
Some of the Brookings ratings may appear puzzling. For example, the Los Angeles area is rated second behind Hawaii. The L.A. basin is famed for smog and traffic backups. However, Muro says, the research underscored the density of the area's build-out. "While there are not a lot of tall buildings, it has places with a lot of small lots, master-planned large developments, and an increasing density," he says. "And the state is increasingly pulling out of dirty energy sources and requiring lighter, low-carbon sourcing."
Nine out of 10 of the lowest emitting metro areas are west of the Mississippi. New York, ranked No. 4, is the only city east of the river. Like L.A., New York has a smoggy atmosphere in the summer.
"New York beats a place like Lexington-Fayette because we have transit operations and greater energy efficiency with the density of the apartment buildings," says Petra Todorovich, director of America 2050, a national infrastructure plan. "We also have high energy rates which impacts efficiency in a different way," says Ms. Todorovich, who is also a staff member at the Regional Plan Association, a nonprofit trying to improve the quality of life in the New York metro area.
Largest emitters burn coal
The largest emitters have some common traits as well. Eight out of 10 are east of the Mississippi. Three of the metro areas are in Kentucky. Almost all the areas use coal for energy. "Many of them have not embraced mass transit until recently," Muro says.
The highest-emitting metro area, Lexington, Ky., sees its environmental weakness as an economic strength. "Our proximity to the eastern coalfields has provided us with some of the nation's lowest electrical costs," says Cheryl Taylor, the city's first commissioner of environmental quality in an e-mailed statement. "Our central location at the intersection of two major interstates attracts significant truck traffic."
However, Ms. Taylor says, the city is increasing funding for alternative transportation and mass transit and is trying to halt sprawl with development downtown.
At least one mayor of a major emitting city, Mark Mallory of Cincinnati, was elected in part because of his concern about the environment. The Cincinnati City Council is now considering 80 recommendations to reduce carbon emissions. Mr. Mallory was unavailable for comment.

Thomas has 26 to lead Kings' 124-80 rout of Cavs
SACRAMENTO, California (AP) — Isaiah Thomas scored 26 points and the Sacramento Kings won their third straight game with this season's biggest rout, a 124-80 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday.
The Kings scored 16 straight points in the third quarter and led by 28 points heading into the fourth. The three-game winning streak is Sacramento's first since December 2012. The 44-point victory margin was the largest in the NBA this season, according to STATS.
C.J. Miles had 14 points and Luol Deng added 12 for the Cavaliers, who had won two straight.
Cleveland went just over five minutes without a basket in the third quarter, when it shot 4 of 20 and was outscored 30-11. The Cavaliers were outscored 65-30 in the second half.
San Antonio's Kawhi Leonard scored 13 of his 17 points in the second half as the Spurs held off the Minnesota Timberwolves 104-86 for its fourth straight win.
Tim Duncan had 15 points and Tony Parker added 14 points and 10 assists for Western Conference-leading San Antonio. Matt Bonner also scored 14 points — including 4-for-5 shooting on 3-pointers — and Marco Belinelli had 13 points and Patty Mills added 10.
Nikola Pekovic scored 22 points to lead Minnesota. Kevin Love had 14 points and Alexey Shved added 11.
Already without Manu Ginobili and Tiago Splitter, the Spurs lost Danny Green early in the second quarter to a sprained finger. Minus two of their top wings, Leonard took over in the second half.
At Memphis, Tennessee, Mike Conley had 21 points and 13 assists, and Zach Randolph added 18 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Grizzlies over the Atlanta Hawks 108-101.
Paul Millsap scored 21 points to lead the Hawks, who had won two straight. It was only the Hawks' third loss to the Grizzlies in the past 15 games.
Memphis pulled away in the fourth quarter behind Conley, who tied a career best with 31 points in a victory over the Phoenix Suns on Friday. Conley had eight points in the final quarter, including two free throws that gave the Grizzlies a 102-92 lead with 2:46 left.
Mike Miller also had eight points in the fourth quarter for the Grizzlies, including two 3-pointers. He finished with 15 points.

Panther 2-1 win completes season sweep of Dragons
THOMAS — Behind a game winning single by Cole Rushton and a complete game pitching gem by Cash Cardona the Snake River Panthers completed the season sweep of the defending 2A state champion Malad Dragons on Thursday evening with a 2-1 victory.
"Great pitching match up," Snake River head coach James Carter said. "This is the second game the Cash has pitched for us and the second great effort from him. He threw the crap out of it today and threw a lot of strikes. He did a great job of pitching ahead of the hitters which makes them hit the pitch he wants them to hit."
Cardona was indeed stellar on Thursday as he scattered 5 hits over his 7 innings of work. The lone blemish on his day was a solo home run from the Dragons biggest bat in the line up which tied the game at 1-1 in the top of the fifth.
Cardona shook that set back off though as he mowed down the remainder of the Dragons for the rest of the game.
Malad had a great pitching performance of their own on Thursday as Brakin Gibbs struck out 11 Snake River Panthers while scattering 5 hits of his own in the losing effort.
Snake River was able to earn the victory with some good old fashioned small ball though as they manufactured a run in the bottom of the second with a passed ball, stolen base and then an RBI single.
Travis Robertson got the inning started when his heads up run down the first base line on a passed ball after a strike out ignited the mini uprising. Robertson stole second and then raced home ahead of the RBI single by Zane Stephenson.
"It was grind it out baseball and I loved it," Coach Carter said. "Travis did a great job of getting on base and then did what it took to come around and score."
Robertson also scored the game winner as he opened the bottom of the seventh inning with a line drive single to centerfield and later stole second base. Robertson advanced to third base after tagging on a fly ball to right field by Bret Parkinson. Stephenson followed with a safety squeeze bunt that he beat out for the infield single putting runners at first and third with two outs.
Cole Rushton then won the game two pitches later when he roped a single to right field for the 2-1 final.
"A great job by Cole," Coach Carter said. "I also thought that he made a key defensive play earlier in the game when he scooped the ball out at first which probably saved a run for us. A good win. Defensively we made no errors and we were able to grind it out."
Snake River (6-1) will host Blackfoot today for a double header with game one scheduled to begin at 3:30 P.M.

A landscape is any outdoor space, planted or not. NYU has a great variety of urban landscapes that link academic and housing facilities here in Greenwich Village. NYU Landscaping is responsible for the design, installation, and maintenance of outdoor spaces enjoyed by NYU and the surrounding community.
Did you know you don't have to leave NYU's campus to see a Tulip tree, a Sweetgum, American hornbeam, or European Beech tree? You can even see, right here at NYU, a rare plant like Dutchman's Breeches, which was identified by the Weilikia Project as being present on Manhattan Island before European settlement back in 1609!
Part of the vitality of today's cities has come from a new view of ecology—urban ecology, which recognizes that cities are natural systems with the potential for making urban life more livable through new efforts to enhance nature in the urban realm. New York City, a world leader in this field since the construction of Central Park in the 19th Century, remains at the cutting edge of landscape design with sites like the Highline, Brooklyn Bridge Park, Gantry Plaza, Hudson River Park, and Battery Park City Parks.
Staying true to its founder's vision of a university "in and of the city," NYU—which has no walls and no gates—remains inextricable from the fabric of New York City.
In accordance with the University's motto, "a private university in the public service," NYU Landscaping serves both the University community and the historic neighborhood of Greenwich Village by designing, installing, and maintaining the urban landscapes that welcome people to the Washington Square campus. Our objective is to unify our eclectic campus with green spaces that combine the aims of urban restoration ecology with high aesthetic standards in design. We seek a deserving place for NYU within the time-honored horticultural tradition of Greenwich Village while keeping pace with the exciting new trends that make New York City a world model for high performance urban landscapes. NYU Landscaping aims to reflect the values of a global research university engaged in public service.
NYU's graceful green spaces do more than beautify our campus—they also provide countless passersby a brief respite from the grueling pace of city life. On this contemplative tour of the small plots tucked between NYU buildings, Supervisor of Landscaping George Reis explains how plants bring quiet dignity to an urban existence.
The NYU Landscaping is committed to adding an ecological dimension to Washington Square campus garden areas. To achieve this, the NYU Landscaping has implementing the following sustainable gardening practices:
New York Flora Atlas
National Wildlife Federation - Gardening for Wildlife
Organic Gardening
NOFA Organic Land Care Program
Stuyvesant Cove Park
Society for Organic Urban Land Care
New York State Integrated Management Program
Northwest Center for Alternatives to Pesticides
Green Methods
NYU sustainable landscaping offers positive environmental and health benefits to the University community as well as the surrounding Greenwich Village neighborhood. Through the efficient use of local resources and sustainable gardening practices, the NYU Landscaping has contributed to the reduction of air, noise, and water pollution in the Washington Square area.

The stock set up is a dual hard line bolting to the turbo from the top. There are a couple of short rubber hoses that connect the hard lines back to the coolant system.
This page has pictures of the stock coolant lines about half way down.
My guess would be that something has happened to the hard lines and the PO either didn't want to buy new ones or couldn't find them.

With all eyes on Kate Middleton's sartorial selections, Zara Phillips is also upping her game in the style stakes.
The young royal attended the Cheltenham Festival looking more on-trend than ever.
Tuesday saw newly-engaged Zara sporting a beige, suede trenchcoat with a turban-style hat and black ankle boots.
The 29-year-old followed up on Ladies Day in a black-belted coat, suede ruffle shoe-boots, accessorised with a flat cap.
The tweed head piece bore a burst of pop-colour red, which perfectly matched her patent Mulberry handbag.
The look was somewhat demure for the occasion, which saw women dressed in all manner of fascinators and fancy accessories.

The most interesting about Trujillo comes from before the colonial times. In the Moche-valley is the city, Chan Chan , the capital of the kingdom of the great Chimu. It´s concidered the worlds biggest city made of adobe, and the archeological rests you can study here, can only be compared with Teotihuacan in Mexico and the old cities in Egypt.
Furthermore one should visit the 30 meter tall pyramide of adobe, "El Brujo", presumed to be buildt 15 centuries ago.

Vintage Patio Sets and Garden Furniture
When it comes to outdoor spaces, vintage patio sets and garden furniture are the perfect accessory. Naturally aged and weathered, they provide a sense of familiarity and comfort... and are often more affordable to boot! Click through the gallery above to see a few great examples.
We particularly like the vintage bamboo set in #1 and the vintage Bistro set in #2. Also, remember that you can always update a vintage set by repainting it in a new, bold color.

The latest WikiLeaks documents unveiled by The New York Times show a vast attempt to hack sites such as Google
The tale begins with a secret State Department cable, obtained and leaked by WikiLeaks, that shows Li Changchun, a member of China's top ruling body, the Politburo Standing Committee, becoming obsessed with Google's search engine and its ability to get around China's censorship. Li was shocked to discover that, when he Googled himself, he found results that criticized him. The cable, dated May 18, 2009, was one of many that showed how China's leaders were afraid of the threat posed by the Internet to their control of China.
The Chinese leaders also saw how they could hack into computers in the U.S. to obtain secrets. The cables say that the Chinese used cyber hacking to obtain a wide array of American government and military data. They hacked, for instance, the computers of diplomats involved in climate -hange talks with China. The Secretary of State's office had to send a warning not to respond to "spear phishing" attacks aimed at agency officials during June 2009.
One cable alleged that Li himself directed an attack -- or personally oversaw the campaign of attack -- on Google's servers. The cables also say that China's coercion of Google to comply with censorship laws occurred over years before Google finally decided to pull out of China last spring. During the attacks, hackers obtained the email accounts of Chinese dissidents and got access to Google's proprietary software code.
The Chinese wanted to delete material not only on the Dalai Lama or the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. It also wanted Google to censor Google Earth satellite images that showed Chinese government facilities, out of fear terrorists could use them to plan attacks. One cable said that Liu Jieyi, an assistant minister of foreign affairs, warned the U.S. Embassy in Beijing that there would be "grave consequences" if terrorists exploited the imagery.
The report also says that China's State Council Information Office concluded in a report last spring that, thanks to the pressure on Google and other surveillance, "the Web is fundamentally controllable." One previously unknown attack in 2008, code-named Byzantine Candor, yielded more than 50 megabytes of emails and a complete list of user names and passwords from an American government agency. Chinese hackers in Shanghai -- linked to the People's Liberation Army -- used a document labeled "salary increase -- survey and forecast" to lure unsuspecting targets into clicking on some kind of malware.
The New York Times said it was not clear how the attacks were coordinated, as many appeared to rely on "Chinese freelancers" and "patriotic hackers" with the support of civilian or military authorities. The attacks on Google evidently involved multiple government leaders, the cables said. Google tried to negotiate with China and get the U.S. government to intercede on its behalf. Google ultimately stopped complying with censorship requests and stopped offering a censored version of its search engine in China earlier this year. It finally struck a deal with the Chinese by offering an intermediate landing page that mollified the Chinese government.
Those are some of the highlights of the story, which is quite chilling for entrepreneurs wanting to do any kind of technology business with China. For the rest of the story, click on this link.

This Southwest Airline Pilot Went LIVE & Didn't Know His Mic Was On! (Talking About Flight Attendants, Gay Bashing & Hates Houston) [Uncensored]
"A Southwest Airlines pilot has been suspended after broadcasting a slur-filled rant about flight attendants over an air-traffic control frequency that stopped controllers from contacting other aircraft. The profanity-laced rant meant controllers were unable to contact other aircraft for several minutes potentially putting lives at risk. The Southwest Airlines pilot launched into a swear laced tirade about gay, overweight and older flight attendants on a flight passing over Houston, Texas. The pilot complained that most flight attendants weren't acceptable dating prospects for him. 'It was a continuous stream of gays, grannies and grandes,' the pilot said. The recording was obtained by the Houston Chronicle from the Federal Aviation Authority. The pilot, who has not been named, had accidentally turned on his microphone while talking to his co-pilot. He was unaware his conversation was being recorded and had no idea he was clogging up a frequency that prevented controllers in Houston from talking to dozens of other jets."

I hereby announce a new Countdown event. Unlike all of the real ones though, run by real people, this one is going to be played virtually.
The itinerary will be similar to that of a normal co:event, as this tourneys aims to be as true a representation of such an event as possible. The draw will be made at 12 noon, with the first round of fixtures to begin at 12.30pm. I would ask that anyone who wants to play should ensure they will be available to remain until 6pm, although it is possible that we may finish earlier.
The preliminary stage will consist of 4 rounds, which will be on tables of 3 like the ones used at COLIN. The format for these first four rounds will be 9 Rounder.
The first TWO rounds will be drawn at random. The third and fourth round draws will be seeded COLIN-style, based on the leaderboard at that stage in the tournament. Players will be sorted by wins first, then points.
Once the four preliminary rounds have been played, the finals will begin. Exactly how these play out will depend on time left to us. If it's getting late, it'll just be #1 vs #2 in the final, like COLIN does. If there's time and a big enough field of entrants I could do a bracket of 8. There may also be 'B' and 'C' group finals if the numbers work out. The final format depends on popular opinion, I'd quite like to see a 14 Rounder final but if 15 Rounder or 9 Rounder are overwhelmingly preferred I'll concede.
There's an announcement ticket on the apterous website and a tourney page too. In the meantime, please feel free to ask any questions, lavish any plaudits, or deliver any rebukes you may have for me (preferably in relation to Co:Apterous).

Makes: About 6 appetizer servings
Nutrition Highlights: Antioxidant Boost, Low Carb, Low Sugar, Vegetarian, Healthy Fats
- 2 ripe avocados
- Juice from 1 lime
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup Green Puree (see Make-Ahead Recipe #3)
- Optional extra boost: 1/2 cup chopped red onion, chopped tomatoes, handful of chopped cilantro (or fresh basil), and/or chopped jalapeños, to taste
> Halve the avocados lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. In a small bowl, combine the avocado with the lime juice, salt, Green Puree, and the optional extras, if using. Blend lightly with a fork. Goes well with Spice Boys Corn Chips (Chili Spice Variation), page 299, or Refried Bean Macho Nachos, page 305.
Sneaky Tip: Cilantro leaves have been found to contain an antibacterial agent that is twice as effective at disintegrating salmonella as the antibiotic gentamicin. The leaves also help detoxify the body, so go ahead and use some in this guac!
Quick Fixes for Store-Bought Guacamole Each of the quick fixes below not only enhances the nutritional profile of already nutrient-dense guacamole, but the hidden veggies add volume without the fat so your guy can eat even more of this popular dip. Be sure to offer it with smart dipping sticks, such as crunchy celery stalks, carrots, bell peppers, or Spice Boys Corn Chips, page 298. You can also mix in two or more of the boosters below, up to a total of about 1/4 cup booster per 1 cup of store-bought guacamole.
Each of the following quick fixes is for 1 cup of guacamole
- 2 to 4 tablespoons Green Puree (see Make-Ahead Recipe #3) Combine the Green Puree with store-bought guacamole, mixing until well blended. - 2 to 4 tablespoons White Bean Puree (see Make-Ahead Recipe #9) Combine the White Bean Puree with store-bought guacamole, mixing until well blended - 1 to 2 tablespoons oat bran Combine the oat bran with store-bought guacamole, mixing until well blended. Because of the added texture, this quick fix will go over better if something crunchy, like chopped red onion, is also added in as a distraction.

Victory near, Phillies' bats let them down
Though the Phillies came close -- inches, even -- from advancing to the NLCS, an aging lineup came up short against the Cardinals, bringing up some big questions as the team enters the offseason. More >
Promising season ends too soon for Phillies
The Phillies and their season-long fixation of playing in the 2011 World Series went up in flames at Citizens Bank Park on Friday night. It may be Spring Training before they're able to walk away from the ruins of this disaster. If ever. More >
Disappointed Phillies praise Carpenter, Cards
The Phillies could not hear the Cardinals celebrating their 1-0 victory in the decisive Game 5 of the National League Division Series on Friday, but they knew all too well what was going on. This was supposed to be their celebration. More >
Halladay doomed by first-inning hiccup
Despite pitching another gem in the playoffs, Roy Halladay was left to stomach the stinging reality that the run he allowed in the first inning turned out to be the difference in Friday's season-ending 1-0 loss to the Cardinals. More >
Everyone contributes to Cards' success
The Cardinals dispensed the Phillies in five games in their National League Division Series not because of any one player or any one unit. They did it with everything going right at one time or another. More >
Performer of the game: Cards ace Carpenter
Cardinals right-hander Chris Carpenter, who improved to 6-2 with a 2.94 ERA in 11 postseason starts, allowed three hits and struck out three. He got 16 ground-ball outs, with his defense picking him up at nearly every turn. More >
Focus for Phils shifts to trying again next year
The Phillies finished the regular season as the best team in baseball, with a franchise record 102 victories, but they failed to advance to the NL Championship Series for the first time since 2007. More >
Cards ride momentum into matchup with Crew
Like the story was written by the baseball Gods, edited by the St. Louis Mayor and told by Joe Buck -- the fairytale 2011 season of the Cardinals will at least have one more chapter. And it's only fitting that'd it be the division-rival Brewers who get the next crack. More >
Carpenter, Doc engage in duel for the ages
The appetizing pitching battle between close friends and fierce competitors in Friday's Game 5 of the National League Division Series certainly lived up to expectations. More >
Carpenter's gem sends Cardinals into NLCS
The Cardinals secured their first postseason series win since the 2006 World Series with a sensational 1-0 victory over the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park on Friday night. Chris Carpenter blanked the Phillies on three hits in a thrilling matchup against Roy Halladay, who gave up a first-inning run. More >
Pulse-check: Thrills of Division Series unrivaled
Entering the upcoming American and National League Championship Series, we are satiated from a heaping helping of first-round goodness while primed and pumped for the second serving in America's favorite three-course meal. More >
Halladay outdueled as Phils get knocked out
There had been so much hope and excitement in February, when the Phillies assembled their rotation for the ages in a once-in-a-lifetime introductory news conference at Bright House Field in Clearwater, Fla. More >
Schumaker exits Game 5 with oblique injury
Two days after leaving Game 4 with a left hamstring cramp, Cardinals center fielder Skip Schumaker left Friday's National League Division Series finale with right oblique tightness. More >
Howard suffers Achilles injury; MRI Saturday
In one swing of the bat, the Phillies endured a pair of losses Friday night, as slugger Ryan Howard suffered an injury to his left Achilles tendon. He will undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine the severity of the injury. More >
Cards' crisp defense complements Carpenter
A club known more for its offense brought out the leather in a crisply played Game 5 win by the Cardinals. Several outstanding plays behind Chris Carpenter allowed the right-hander to slice his way through the Phillies. More >
For Phillies, key decisions coming this offseason
There was a definite air of finality in the Phillies' clubhouse following Friday night's season-ending loss to the Cardinals. Many of the team's key pieces will be returning, but the nucleus of the club that won the 2008 World Series might have played its last game together. More >
Gritty D-backs tip their caps to Brewers
It took everything a talented Brewers team could muster into extra innings of Friday's decisive Game 5 to finally shake the D-backs, a team that turned heads around baseball with a remarkable rise to the top of the National League West and a fierce battle in the NL Division Series. More >
Cardinals' improbable run continues to NLCS
For most of the summer, the Cardinals had to squint to see the names Hudson, Hanson and Jurrjens on the backs of the players sprinting toward the postseason. The Braves were too far ahead for anyone with an allegiance to St. Louis baseball to consider a Wild Card berth for the boys. Then the resolute, resilient and resourceful Cardinals, the primary baseball residents in the Show Me State, showed 'em. More >
Did You Know? Cards-Phillies NLDS Game 5
There were many "Did You Know" facts from Game 5 of the NLDS between the Cardinals and Phillies. More >
Cards, Phillies make history with 1-0 Game 5
The highly-anticipated pitchers' duel between Chris Carpenter and Roy Halladay in Game 5 of the NLDS not only met expectations, but even set a bit of history. More >

It was the day before the Manchester United friendly at Soldier Field in 2011 and though the next day's occasion was going to be big, all most wanted to talk about was the rumor of Mexican legend Pavel Pardo joining the Fire.
Without a deal in place, head coach Frank Klopas brushed off the questions that swirled after the team's training session. A few days later on the player's 35th birthday, the club confirmed that the second most capped player in Mexican national team history would call Toyota Park his new home.
Pardo joined Sebastian Grazzini as one of two high-profile midseason signings that year and his impact was felt immediately as he scored the equalizing goal in his club debut, a 1-1 draw against Philadelphia on August 3.
With just two wins from their first 20 games as of late August, Pardo played a huge role in sparking the team's incredible late season turnaround, helping the Fire to a 7-2-1 finish in their last 10 games and leaving the side just three points from playoff qualification.
Just a year ago, the veteran of 148 caps for Mexico confirmed his return to the team. Taking on even more of a leadership role, many Fire players have spoken about how having Pardo on the team was like having another coach on the field as he would so often direct traffic and control the flow of the game.
During his only full season in Chicago, Pardo formed a consistent partnership with Logan Pause in the heart of the midfield and worked in tandem with the longtime Fire veteran in pushing the team back to its first playoff appearance since 2009.
Unfortunately, fans didn't get the opportunity for much of a Pardo farewell tour as the midfielder experienced calf tightness following a 2-1 victory at Toronto FC on September 12.
That injury kept him out much longer than expected with the hard-working center-mid only returning in the team's final regular season match, a 1-1 draw vs. D.C. United on October 27.
Pardo ended up taking what would be his final bow in some disappointment four days later when the team was eliminated with a 2-1 defeat to Houston at the first hurdle of the MLS Cup playoffs.
Still, Pardo's signing gave Fire fans another opportunity to see an iconic world star, along with the likes of Hristo Stoitchkov, Cuauhtemoc Blanco, Brian McBride, Freddie Ljungberg and Arne Friedrich.
And just as important, the renowned World Cup veteran never shyed away from an autograph or photo, recognizing his on-the-field abilities were just as big as those of bringing attention to his club.
While his stay may have been brief, the wisdom imparted on his younger Fire teammates over the past year and a half may be his greatest legacy with the Fire.
That and the class he always played with when wearing the badge.

"Rave" or form of wild dancing party where all of the members listen to music through headphones on seperate portable music players. The players are all synchronized so everyone is hearing the same thing, but no outsiders hear anything, hence the "silent" portion of the name.

The 84th Legislature made structural changes to the Health and Human Services system including transferring some DSHS functions to the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC).
As of September 2016, all services previously under the Mental Health and Substance Abuse Division (MHSA) transitioned to HHSC Behavioral Health Services as
Mental Health and Substance Use (MHSU).
The mission of MHSU is to improve health and well-being in Texas by providing leadership and services that promote hope, build resilience, and foster recovery. Find more information about services at these HHSC sites:
See the
HHSC website for more information about the transformation.

Medical emergency
From ArticleWorld
A medical emergency is a medical condition that poses an immediate threat to someone's life of health if not treated quickly. A common example is the heart attack (myocardial infarction).
Emergency medicine is a specialization itself, dealing with these medical emergencies, and specialists are trained to handle such conditions, both inside and outside a clinic. Due to their nature, medical emergencies require very quick actions to be taken.
Immediate response
The first thing to be done, if possible, is activating the emergency medical services or calling a local emergency response service, if available. Many countries have such emergency response services that can be contacted by telephone -- the well know 911 in the US, for example, but also 999 in UK or 112 in many European countries.
Operators will demand some data such as:
- state of consciousness,
- name of the caller,
- name of the patient if known, etc.
Those who have no training for handling medical emergencies should take no medical action unless instructed to do so. The best they can do is usually to keep their calm and stay with the person requiring medical assistance. Crowding is usually to be avoided, unless the presence of more people is required. Evacuation requires expertise so it should be left to professionals, unless there is no other solution (for example, if the medical emergency occurs in the wild). Self transport should only go as far as the nearest emergency room.
Clinical response
In general, staff able to deal with average emergency situations exists in every hospital. Emergency medicine physicians are trained for dealing with most medical emergencies, maintaining ACLS and CPR certifications. In special cases like disasters, hospitals usually maintain protocols to allow them to gather their medical staff quickly enough.
Regardless of the nature of the medical emergencies, there is a protocol (the Advanced Cardiac Life Support) that is always respected. These protocols ensure that the proper actions are taken, by setting various guidelines referring to how interventions should be made.

I'm sure you've had this happen to you: a kind elderly woman stops you on the street to remark on how lovely your children are, and tells you should cherish every. single. moment. with them, because the time goes so fast. You flash forward to earlier this morning when you spent 37 minutes (and pretty much all your sanity) convincing your toddler to eat four blueberries, and then another 14 getting him to put on pants. Now not only do you have to feel badly about just how off the rails your morning went, but that you didn't savor every single second of the madness.
Plus: Does Having Kids Make You Less Happy?
That's why Glennon Melton's essay Don't Carpe Diem is showing up like crazy in my Facebook feed. I think it might be the truest thing I've ever read about parenting. Being a parent? Most moms and dads (including myself) will tell you it's the best thing they've ever done. Actual day-to-day parenting? Crazy-making. Here's Melton's metaphor for it:
I think parenting young children (and old ones, I've heard) is a little like climbing Mount Everest. Brave, adventurous souls try it because they've heard there's magic in the climb. They try because they believe that finishing, or even attempting the climb are impressive accomplishments. They try because during the climb, if they allow themselves to pause and lift their eyes and minds from the pain and drudgery, the views are breathtaking. They try because even though it hurts and it's hard, there are moments that make it worth the hard. These moments are so intense and unique that many people who reach the top start planning, almost immediately, to climb again. Even though any climber will tell you that most of the climb is treacherous, exhausting, killer. That they literally cried most of the way up.
Plus: Can a Happy Childhood Lead to an Unhappy Adulthood?
Read Melton's essay, and then tell us what you think. Do you honestly enjoy every moment? Must you love parenting to love being a parent?

An aside, I love both, and was merely pointing out what in day to day desktop usage I really enjoyed FreeBSD having over OpenBSD.
For your information the only two operating systems which were light enough to be used on the Wyse thin clients were OpenBSD and NetBSD. Wyse provided embedded Windows and Linux were so crippled to be able to run on the thin clients that were practically useless (there were missing so many libraries) that no application could be installed.
It was nice talking to you too kid
Last edited by Oko; 1st September 2010 at 04:52 AM.
My limited experience with both FreeBSD and OpenBSD is that FreeBSD has proved impossible to install/run on one machine (booting fails because one of the two cores in the processor refuses to start properly) and FreeBSD with either Gnome or KDE desktops on another machine occasionally hangs with the mouse unable to select items on the desktop (it's much worse with KDE).
OpenBSD doesn't put any real work into developing user interfaces, so the Gnome desktop is old, Firefox is only at version 3.0.something and so on. Lots of things users expect to come with Gnome aren't there. FreeBSD has a much better default Gnome install package. OpenBSD does work though and seems very solid.
The FreeBSD forums are larger and more informative than the OpenBSD ones!
KDE crashing occurs with Linux also, Maybe building a lite version of each desktop would be better. You can install the base of each and use, say, xfce or blackbox as your environment.
Overall, the desktop doesn't matter that much when my focus is a "project." It's then that the OS itself has the importance.
You are also spreading FUD about Firefox. The latest Firefox is ported to OpenBSD. OpenBSD project however keeps around Firefox 3.5.xxx because of Java. Namely Firefox is so buggy and SUN Java plug-ins do not work on Firefox 3.6.xxx. Since many people do need Java we keep 3.5.xxx in ports. There is a serious effort on the way to port IcedTea Java to OpenBSD (or should I say just remaining parts which will enable browser plugins). after which we will ditch 3.5.xxx completely.
That was very dishonest and incompetent post for the lack of better wording. One of the worst I have seen around here.
Firefox 3.5 and 3.6.x are in the ports tree now, and they are often one of the first to experiment with new versions of Firefox.. perhaps you're confused by the fact that development takes place in -CURRENT not on releases.
At the ports hackathons things like GLIB/GTK and Gnome are often hacked on by various developers.. it's a complicated amount of dependencies to deal with as what one considers "gnome" is actually a large collection of software, primarily developed and tested on Linux by its developers.
I really think this thread is a disservice to the community, make your own opinions, and ask specific questions.
The "proof" is available in the CVS history, available to anyone, packages for 3.5 were indeed in 4.6 as firefox35.
OpenBSD's ports development closely follows -CURRENT and snapshots, not releases, so new ports are not made available for unsupported releases.
As the FAQ advises us to use packages and not to use ports it seems reasonable to me to expect the version of FF current at the release of 4.7 - what was that, May? - now maybe that was 3.0.18 but I doubt it.
You need to add firefox35, not firefox.
You could have figured this out quite easily with some research
[~]% ftp ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/4.7/packages/i386/ [... snip motd etc. ...] ftp> ls firefox*3.5* 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||62394|) 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for '/bin/ls'. -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 15454185 Mar 23 14:55 firefox35-3.5.8.tgz 226 Transfer complete.
UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things.
# pkg_add firefox
...will also succeed in this case because pkg_add(1) also supports "fuzzy" package name matching minus the version specification. The FAQ does not mention this most likely to avoid situations just like this -- users expecting one thing get something entirely different, so make them cognizant of version numbers from the very beginning. Specifying package names with their versions is a safe practice. Experienced users who have studied the manpages will discover other shortcuts, but use them with knowledge of how the package system was designed & works.
As I vaguely recall, Firefox 3.5 was not fully vetted at the time of OpenBSD 4.7's package freeze. Firefox has a track record of releasing rough code, so it takes some time for OpenBSD's port developers to sanction something which has some stability & not cause excessive support nightmares.
You may ask why the latest version (or more recent version) is not available to those using the CD sets. This requires knowledge of the different flavors of OpenBSD which is discussed in Section 5.1 of the FAQ. The developers focus on the head of development which is -current. All new development takes place here. The packages available for -release are defined several months prior to the release date, & in most cases are not updated through the remainder of the support cycle. If you want the very latest versions of third-party applications, you will have to run -current. However, be advised that being at the head of development, running code where the paint is not dry is not advisable to most (which is also stated in Section 5.1...).
mechanic, it appears you are coming at OpenBSD thinking that it is the same as Linux, or expecting it to perform as some other operating system community. It isn't. OpenBSD has its own culture, & own ways of doing things. Expecting it to behave as some other operating system is only going to lead to continued frustration & aggravation.
The solution is to seriously study the documentation beginning with the FAQ. As has been said to you before, OpenBSD is a very small project with a limited number of developers. Rough edges exist. Contradictions will be found. The goal of the OpenBSD project is not to cater to newcomers & the uninformed. The target audience for OpenBSD is the OpenBSD developers themselves as can be seen in the following publicly stated goals:
Yes, this is unlike other Open Source projects. The developers prefer it this way because they can focus on technical arguments & better engineering practices as opposed to coming out with glossy marketing brochures trying to attract every person to use their operating system. If OpenBSD meets your needs & you have the skill set & experience to fill in the gaps that do exist, then great; welcome to the community. If the gaps are too vast, & or you want the project to cater more to your specific needs, there may be other alternatives which are better suited to provide this to you.
Now running 3.5.8
pkg_add -vi "pkg" helps me an awful lot (with openbsd).
I've successfully run GNOME in both OpenBSD and FreeBSD. Any user trying to decide between these two should endeavour to run both systems, learn about them and see what they like.
It would be an understatement to say that OpenBSD and FreeBSD are great projects that each have a lot to offer. It all depends on the user's skill level, comfort level, tasks, and how their hardware reacts to each system.
I don't run the same OS on every machine. I gravitate toward what I need and what the hardware runs well with for each situation.
I have more experience with OpenBSD, so I tend to favor it, but I still follow both projects and will be using FreeBSD in the future, no doubt about it.
QUOTE=Oko..... OpenBSD has second to none support for udf file system (it is better than Windows support). You can read cvs commits. Having a great audio server in the base is also a big + for OpenBSD.
Yes I agree. For a Desktop, music is a top priority for many and OpenBSD does it very well. This needs to be emphasized. The Raid and NFS toys are so useful and easy to use for music/video lovers -- again, the desktop becomes more fun and economical with an audio server imo
I do use FreeBSD on certain hardware where OpenBSD is not ported -- i.e., on my little 35$ Rpi -- but everywhere else I find the documentation of OpenBSD to be more helpful. There's nothing like a clean OpenBSD install ... a few dot-files added in ~/ and some tweaks to a few things in /etc and some rc.conf.local flags set; it is very beautiful in its simplicity of layout and the logic of its configuration. I know it is similar to FreeBSD, but its subtle differences do make a "significant" difference over an extended period of use. Familiarity can breed strong affection. Not all things loved are old, though, as the new dhclient in OpenBSD is fantastic for wireless laptop use, which is important to many for both portable 'desktops' and others, too. SMTP is another but perhaps not that useful for a desktop user.

I started in the *NIX world some years ago in the Linux realm, made the usual distro-hopping between major distros, found ArchLinux and liked it, but then I found FreeBSD and made the jump to the real thing. I have been enjoying FreeBSD since 8.1 to 9.1, but meanwhile I found OpenBSD and NetBSD, and liked them too, each one with its fortitudes and weaknesses, but all enjoyable and usefull OSes in my eyes.
Maybe now I have taken the OpenBSD path, for I have stopped the OS-hopping and reinstall frenzy I had in the last ten years...

Government Agencies Now Open Online for Public Participation and Input
24 Agencies Open Dialog, Seeking Public Participation on Open Government
February 9, 2010
Contact: Caren Auchman, 202-525-8165
WASHINGTON – As part of the Obama Administration's commitment to a more open, transparent, and accountable government, 24 federal agencies have launched online dialogs with the public. From now through March 19, agencies will be seeking feedback from the public on their open government plans and web pages.
"President Obama has made a commitment to transparency and to engage the public in meaningful discussions on how to improve government and make it more accountable to the American people," said Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra. "These public dialogs will enable citizens to share with their government ideas and feedback to help change the way Washington does business. By launching the online public dialogs across government, Americans now have an unprecedented opportunity to become a part of the process from the comfort of their own homes."
On December 8, 2009, President Obama issued his Open Government Directive, challenging agencies to launch an open government Web page and to incorporate a public engagement mechanism by February 6. The U.S. General Services Administration provided agencies with an innovative public dialog tool at no cost to help them meet this deadline. Through this tool, the public will have an easily accessible forum to share ideas, give feedback, and engage in Web-based discussions with their government.
Twenty-three of 24 CFO agencies are using GSA's public dialog tool, helping agencies to devote their attention to running, moderating, and analyzing public input.
"To help agencies answer President Obama's call for a more citizen-centered, open government, GSA gave agencies an easy innovative, solution, allowing them to focus on meaningfully engaging the public," said David McClure, Associate Administrator for GSA's Office of Citizen Services and Communications. "By leveraging a single solution governmentwide, GSA simplified the public engagement process for both agencies and the citizen, helping to build and offer uniformity and consistency in how the public engages with their government."

Arouse Her with a Soft Touch
The way she moves her head when she laughs and unknowingly reveals her neck, the corner of her eyes that light up with joy. Her supple lips that you want to kiss because it is so wet, because it is the only right thing to do. The small opening on the back which shows her golden skin, her shinning golden skin that you want to touch, and her earlobes which you want to bite. Love making is an art, if you see something that makes you weak on your knees then that it probably worth your kiss. If the woman you are making love to is enjoying your touches and kisses, then your act of physical love is a hit. Erogenous zones are those places that give erotic sensations, and a woman's body is full of it. After all, behind the layer of clothing they have a hundred curves awaiting the touch of your lips. Do you know the right places to touch her?
then watch for her reaction.Loading...
Her Neck
When kissing your woman, slowly move to the neck from the mouth; take it one at a time. Her long neck can be kissed, touched, bitten and it feels great to her senses. The neck of a woman is the most popular erogenous zones. You may want to keep in mind that for some women one of the sides is more sensitive than the other. You must by all means visit the neck, and take it slow for it will give her an amazing feeling.

Her Back
A woman's great wide back is a beautiful place for you to explore. You will know she is enjoying your back rub, back lick, back kiss, or back stroke when she clenches the bed sheet with her hands. The back can be a very erogenous spot for a woman. Use all you have to explore the length and breadth of her back and you will turn her on quickly.
Image Source: gettyimages.in
Her Ears
You have no idea how crazy can your tongue in her ears feel like for her. Reach out for her ears and begin by sucking and nibbling the ear lopes. Then move to sensually swirl your tongue into her ears and she will go mad with desire. You could also whisper sweet and dirty things into her ears and make her happy. The most important bit of information for you is that you should work on her right ear because this is the part of the brain the controls happiness. Make her happy!
Image Source: gettyimages.in
Inner Thighs
Now this is easy to understand. Her inner thighs mean that you are getting close to her genital area and hence pleasure guaranteed. But you have to be gentle here, do not rush things, and never rush things when making love. You should start with caressing and stroking her inner thigh and then putting your lips and your tongue to the area. Eroticism will know no end.
Image Source: gettyimages.in
Behind her Knees
Now because it is located behind the knees it is often overlooked, but for a female body this is a gem. You should focus on the skin at the back of the knee by kissing, massaging dry or with oil and lotion. This may make her feel her little ticklish, but you should experiment with it and find out what suits her best. This also does not mean that you avoid the top of her knee, please work on that as well!
Image Source: gettyimages.in
Her Feet
There is always some room for a foot massage. This can be pleasurable and relaxing at the same time, also remember that this experience could be a ticklish one for her, and so be careful. There are chances that your woman has feet which are extremely sensitive and therefore you may want to explore this area. Try massaging and then you could use your mouth if they are clean!
Image Source: gettyimages.in
Her Stomach
You could plant kisses on her stomach, or better still just run your index finger along her end of her stomach just at the top where she is wearing her pants. Use your tongue to run along this stomach or even your fingers will do. This again could be a very ticklish area for your partner and therefore you should be careful. She may laugh out, you can laugh along! It is good.
Image Source: gettyimage.in
Her Lips
If you want her to be into you and to love you in bed real good, then you need to kiss her well. Spend at least five minutes kissing her before you go on to do something else. Those soft, wet, pink and red lips of hers are just very sensitive. Lips happen to be one the most erogenous areas of a woman's body and you have to improvise on your intensity for a better reaction from her.
Image Source: gettyimages.in
Her Breasts/Nipples
A woman can be aroused if you work on her breasts, but you need to work well. You could gently fondle, squeeze, caress, lick or suck the nipples and all this can be very arousing for her. Also, you should try to improvise on the intensity. While some women like their guys to go rough on the breasts, others like it to be slow and gentle. So, find out!
Image Source: gettyimages.in
Her Buttocks
The buttocks are a great erogenous zone for a woman and you can touch it in various ways for them to have different effects on her. You could start with rubbing the area when she is clothed and then move forward from there. Make sure you do not tickle her, but instead arouse her. Things can get heated up at times when you slap this area so try it. At first try a very slow one, and then watch her reaction.

The average temperature across land and ocean surfaces during October was 14.63°C (58.23°F). This is 0.63°C (1.13°F) above the 20th century average and ties with 2008 as the fifth warmest October on record. The record warmest October occurred in 2003 and the record coldest October occurred in 1912. This is the 332nd consecutive month with an above-average temperature.
Emphasis added. If you were born in or after April 1985, if you are right now 27 years old or younger, you have never lived through a month that was colder than average. That's beyond astonishing.

BAGHDAD (AP) � A wave of bombings hit ethnically disputed northern areas and other parts of Iraq on Monday, killing 25 people and wounding dozens.
The attacks deepen fears that militants are seeking to reignite ethnic and sectarian violence in the country, where tensions remain high over areas contested between the central government and Kurdish minority. Deadly violence also continues between the country's two dominant sects � Sunni and Shiite Muslims.
The deadliest of Monday's attacks took place in al-Mouafaqiyah, a village inhabited by families from the Shabak ethnic group. Seven people were killed and 11 were wounded in the bombing, according to police officials.
The village lies near the city of Mosul, 360 kilometers (225 miles) northwest of Baghdad, and is claimed by Arabs, Turkomen and Kurds. The Shabak have their own distinct language and religious beliefs.
Elsewhere in the north, two car bombs went off in a majority Turkomen neighborhood in the city of Tuz Khormato, killing five people and wounding 26, said Mohammed al-Asi, a spokesman for Salahuddin provincial council.
Like the area near the other attack, Tuz Khormato, about 210 kilometers (130 miles) north of Baghdad, has a mix of Arabs, Kurds and Turkomen competing for control of the city. He said that the targets in these two provinces were "carefully selected" as part of the efforts to undermine the national unity.
Tuz Khormato borders the autonomous Kurdish region. Last month, it was the scene of a shootout between Kurdish guards and Iraqi police that killed one civilian. The Iraqi military and Kurdish fighters responded by moving additional troops into disputed areas, raising the specter of further clashes.
In a statement, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki condemned specifically the attacks in the disputed areas, where he said targets were "carefully selected" to attempt to undermine national unity.
"The government will take whatever necessary measures to provide protection for all citizens, especially the targeted groups," al-Maliki said.
Also Monday, police said a roadside bomb hit a bus carrying Lebanese Shiite pilgrims near Samarra, killing one Lebanese national and the Iraqi driver and wounding eight others, including five Lebanese. Also, a car bomb went off on a bus carrying Iranian pilgrims heading to Samarra, killing two, including an Iranian national.
Another car bomb went off in a commercial area in downtown Baghdad in the afternoon, killing three people and wounding 10, police and health officials said.
Shortly after sunset, a car bomb exploded near an open-air car market in northeastern Baghdad, killing six people and wounding 30 others, said police.
Medics in nearby hospitals confirmed the casualties. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to reporters.
On Sunday, a series of attacks targeting two other cities in disputed northern areas left at least eight dead and dozens wounded.
It was unclear who was behind the latest violence, though Sunni Arab insurgents frequently use coordinated bomb attacks to try to undermine the Shiite-led government's authority.
