I agree with Carol Anderson's comments about the need for more balanced coverage of America's orientation to the Iraqi situation, although I clearly disagree about what's been left out. Since the beginning of the debate about the need to pre-empt Saddam Hussein's addiction to weapons of mass destruction and to murder and war, the lack of information passed on to the public about his history and habits have been glaringly absent. This being so, perhaps a quick primer will do us all good.
His excellency Saddam, upon finally murdering, slaying and assassinating his way into undisputed power (which came naturally, as these tasks had basically been his job in the Ba'th party since childhood) assembled over 200 Iraqi political leaders for an acceptance-declarative speech. With the doors conveniently sealed by palace guards (thugs), Saddam read a list of approximately 60 names of less than committed people in the room. The remaining participants were then invited-obliged to personally execute the named on the spot. I'm sure at that point if there had previously been any doubt in the survivors' minds about their bond to their new leader, that doubt understandably vanished.
Let's jump a dozen some odd years hence and for the sake of brevity leave out the virtually ceaseless brutality, murder and tyranny, the Iran-Iraq wars and the thousands upon tens of thousands of native Iraqis who died at their government's hand in the interim.
Almost immediately after the end of the 1991 war with the U.S., Hussein's military and security forces (which comprise about 10 percent of the population) massacred approximately 80,000 Iraqi Kurds and other native tribesmen, and displaced well over 500,000 because of their revolt (read lack of support and attempted coups) during and after his Kuwaiti war efforts. Some of these "revolters" were quartered in their village square by trucks. Many, many thousands were killed via chemical and biological weapons.
While we have heard of the occasional young mothers being raped and beheaded in front of their families because of their husbands' disloyalty to the regime and refusal to implicate their extended relatives and fellow villagers, clearly our information about Iraq has not been "balanced."
These are but very brief glimpses of His Excellency Saddam's outlook on life. I suppose it's good that some of us feel secure enough to question our country's perspective on Iraq. I most assuredly don't share that feeling of security. I also don't harbor any illusions about Hussein's concern for our allies' well-being, or his Hitleresque schemes for the Middle East. His despotic regime is a very real and very grave danger to the "balance" of world peace.
I'm just thankful I'm not his friend and neighbor!

edu 352 assignment week 5
Unit plan or Lesson Plan Collection Submit a unit plan spanning One to Four weeks. Technology should be integrated for assessment, instruction, and student engagement. You may use a single form of technology or multiple forms depending on what best suits the needs of the lesson and students. You may use some or all of the lesson plans you've been developing throughout the course, combine or adapt them into the plan. The intention of this assignment is for you to reflect on all the learnings from the course and put them to practice for classroom implementation. Your unit plan must include the following: Standards and Goals to be addressed Audience Materials Time span (for each lesson and unit) Activities Assessment The unit needs to include a meaningful integration of technology or technologies to support the instruction. Just as it might not be appropriate to use technology in every element of a lesson, you should not write it into your lesson plan unless the use of technology supports the teaching and learning in effective ways. For example, using a software program to create story books might not be the best use of time if your goal is for students to analyze passages of writing, but it might be an effective use of time if you want students to demonstrate understanding of elements of plot. Just as you will do with your own students in your classroom, explain the motivation and purpose for your choices.

Calculating a Weighted Average Grade
Date: 05/05/2000 at 08:34:25 From: Sam Subject: Figuring Out a Grade The following grades make up 100%. 45% = 3 tests (85, 78, 92) 25% = final (94) 15% = project (91.9) 15% = 3 case questions each worth 25 points (25, 25, 23.5) What is the final grade to this point?
Date: 05/12/2000 at 13:30:06 From: Doctor TWE Subject: Re: Figuring Out a Grade Hi Sam - thanks for writing to Dr. Math. Here's how I'd figure out the final grade. First, I'd convert any non-percentile grades to percentages. In your case, that would be the case questions. To convert them to percentages, divide the points earned by the maximum number of points, then multiply by 100%. The third case question would be: 23.5 / 25 * 100% = 94% I'll let you do the other two (they're pretty easy). Next, I'd find the averages for all the items that have more than one grade. In your case, this would be the tests and the case questions. To find the average, add up the grades and divide by the number of grades. For the tests, the average would be: (85 + 78 + 92) / 3 = 85 Now you need to find the "weighted average" of each of these items. Convert their percentage weight (the 45% for tests, for example) to a decimal by dividing by 100 (or simply moving the decimal point two places to the left) and removing the percent sign. Then multiply the grade for that item by this decimal. For example, for the tests you get: 45% = 0.45 so 85 * 0.45 = 38.25 Do this for each item and add the results. That's the final grade. (If a 90 is the cutoff for an A, I think congratulations are in order.) I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, write back. - Doctor TWE, The Math Forum http://mathforum.org/dr.math/

"After the storm we decided to stay and help bring the economy back," says Angelina, who agreed with her sister that the way to do that was to offer fashion-forward lines at affordable prices. "We wanted to be a place where you can come and put together an outfit, whether it's for a casual Friday night or a Christmas party, and where the prices allow you to shop frequently."
Initially, the sisters targeted women in the 25- to 35-year-old age range. But brisk sales since they opened have already shown that their merchandise has appeal beyond their core market -- to women ages 20 to 50.
"We really try to have a variety without going too broad," says Angelina, explaining that while the shop's identity is youthful and contemporary, its inventory is also designed to work for women with very different styles. "We've had mothers and daughters come in and shop together," she adds.
The seasoned fashion maven will recognize the trends -- animal prints; kimono sleeves; feminine, lace detailing; tops cinched with wide belts; blouson and wrap silhouettes; and platform, peep-toe pumps. But Sorella works hard to bring in an assortment of fresh vendors and pieces so shoppers won't see themselves coming and going. Current lines include Shelly M. Couture, Karlie, Emphasis, Jak & Rae and Jordi Labanda as well as denim by V Jeans (the brainchild of a former Baton Rouge store owner) and the Italian label Parasuco. Hats, purses, scarf headbands, jewelry, lip balm kits and candles also are part of the mix. Both Milestones Jewelry by Paulette Callahan and fleur de lis-emblazoned plaques made from weathered roof slates are locally made, another way that the LoCicero sisters are supporting the rebirth of a city brimming with creativity.

Democrats in Congress look likely to get a modest pre-election victory by passing $12 billion in tax cuts for businesses and injecting $30 billion into small banks.
The measure Democrats dub a "small business lending bill" cleared the 60-vote hurdle Tuesday in the Senate with help from two Republicans. Sen. Patty Murray's office says it could get a final vote today or Thursday, sending it to the House, where AP reports it is likely to pass.
The money for small banks, which comes with strings intended to promote lending to small businesses, is the controversial part of the bill, with Republicans calling it another bank bailout. Murray challenger Dino Rossi echoed those criticisms in a statement Tuesday, saying it's only needed because small businesses are being hurt by the financial reform bill:
This is Washington, D.C., problem solving at its worst – pass one bad bill which punishes Main Street businesses for the bad actions of Wall Street, then push through another bad bill to undo some of the consequences of the first. If Congress had taken the time to get financial reform right the first time around, they wouldn't need to push through another bank bailout.
Murray spoke on the Senate floor today to praise the bill and talk about her meetings with business owners in Tacoma and elsewhere:
Small businesses like the ones I visited in Washington state can be the engine that drives our economic recovery. But that engine needs fuel in the form of credit to run—and that fuel simply isn't flowing right now. … Too many of my Republican colleagues are afraid that a victory for small businesses is a victory for the Democratic Party — and they simply don't want to allow that to happen this close to an election.

Yes, the Kremlin strongman would like to prevent Ukraine from integrating with the European Union, and to bite off as much of it as possible for his would-be Eurasian Union, a kind of Soviet Union lite. But ultimately Putin is acting defensively. He knows that if Ukraine's democracy movement succeeds and the country prospers, it will become a model for Russia and his own autocracy will be doomed.

My preferred solution to that is to provide a way to have a > symlink whose ownership and mode bits are saved and applied to the > targeted object, so that thus-marked symlinks can be used to provide > such things. (The nodes in devfs might even be mode 000 - root will be > able to access 'em anyway; remember, this filesystem will be local.) How about /devfs nodes being symlinks to the "normal" /dev node that they represent? Then the /dev nodes hold the mode bits. To me the main requirements for a worthwhile /devfs are: 1. provide a userland interface for enumerating the active devices, without groveling kvm or dmesg output, or ioctl'ing everything in /dev to see what doesn't return ENXIO. 2. provide a "stable" name for each physical device, which changes as infrequently as possible given the intermediate hardware layers (e.g. ISAPnP is screwed, but pure PCI is golden). "Anything else is negotiable." Long term, I'm also looking for good device capability queries. For instance, eject(1) currently hard-codes a bunch of known devices and their types. But what it really wants to do is ask the device "do you support ejecting?". A disk utility program for X would just want to ask the system "give me a list of all disks, a list of all removable disks, a list of all ejectable disks, a list of all cdaudio capable disks, a list of all cdrecord capable disks, a list of all format capable disks, etc..." It is probably not appropriate for the kernel to provide all that directly, but it is certainly appropriate for the kernel to provide robust primitives that could be used to accomplish such a query. I suppose if we could eliminate all overlapping/conflicting ioctl's, then exhaustive ioctl-groveling would be sufficient to accomplish what I have in mind here. But I would hate to have to defend that implementation at a user-group meeting. Todd Whitesel toddpw @ best.com

A Surprise in Sydney
When in Sydney, Australia, we had all-day ferry tickets that we wanted to use so as not to waste them. We found a place called Cockatoo Island on the ferry map and decided on a whim to give it a try. We found a treasure that is not in the travel guides, as it was the island the Australian Navy used to build it's ships from country inception until only a few decades ago. Now, there are the abandoned shipyard buildings, the remains of a penal colony, and at the time we were there a huge art installation all over the island incorporated into the landscape. This photo is of one of the exhibits, a courtyard full of bamboo wind chimes. I was particularly impressed with the symmetry and the way the shadows actually become part of the art.

text: Looking at RC Pinnell's extentions to the Against the Giants I was struck by the idea that the Giants modules would be great for a real world campaign set just west of the Urals. If we take generic D&D as set in a world like Western Europe roughly 1400-1600 in terms of culture the backdrop could be Ivan the Terrible's wars. Are the giants actually agents of Ivan against Novgorod or something else?

Tony Booth worked at Manton Pit for 34 years. When he started there were 2,000 men employed there.
"In those days when you left school you either went down the pit or to work at the glassworks," said Tony, of Hemmingfield Close, Worksop.
Aged just 15 he spent 16 weeks mining under ground as part of his training at Orgreave Colliery.
"That's where all the lads who started at Manton went to train," said Tony, now 74.
"We all used to chew tobacco down there. We thought if we kept the saliva flowing it would catch the coal dust and it wouldn't go into our lungs."
"But I was new to it. I didn't know I was meant to spit out the tobacco juice. I was swallowing and it made me sick. The lads had to drag me out into the fresh air."
Tony grew up in Manton. Both of his uncles had worked at the pit, one as a blacksmith the other as a welder.
After completing an apprenticeship he did several years as an engineer in the fitting shop on the surface, before going back to the coal face and later working as a methane plant superintendent. The conditions underground were horrible but you couldn't ask to work with better men" he said.
"I used to love working and getting on with all the blokes. Manton was a great community. The whole village worked at the pit. And there was loads going on socially. I played cricket for Manton and was also in the golf society but there was also football, bowls, snooker - all based around Manton Club and the Miners' Welfare."
Keeping the miners fit, healthy and well-fed was in the coal company's best interests.
So a baths building and canteen were built at the pithead in the 1930s and 40s. And a medical centre was also situated on site - an essential provision for treatment of common ailments and injuries suffered by the miners.
"I'll never forget the taste of quinine. They gave it us for everything - colds, headaches, fevers, joint aches." He also remembers the pit had its own water supply and energy was supplied by the huge dual fuel engines he was responsible for, running off methane from under the ground and producing 1.5 gigawatts of energy each.
Said Tony: "Manton was nearly entirely self sufficient in terms of electricity. At times they were making so much they would sell some back to the electricity board."
During his career the company celebrated a landmark in terms of production at Manton - a million tonnes in a year. And the pit was still producing large amounts of coal just before it was forced to close in 1994.
Said Tony: "Manton had loads more coal available to dig than Welbeck. But we went on strike and they didn't. That's why they closed us."
He remembers when the strike was in full swing and times were tough for miners and their families. "We had no money. I spent our savings on paying the mortgage and even sold my car for half of what it was worth," he said.
"I was looking round for ways I could make a bob or two. We weren't supposed to because we were on strike but everyone was doing something."
"I never had any problems with any of the picketers at Manton. There was no bad blood between anybody because we were all on strike."
By the time Manton Pit closed in 1994 Tony had already moved onto another job. But it still hurt.
He said: "I didn't like it when they shut the pit. I thought it was wrong."

Update: Due to the way different systems handle the comments field, the above may not work on all systems. I tested the above on Solaris 2.6 and it worked. mdillon alerted me that the name is available from the GCOS field on his system which means the index 6 should be used.
When I looked again on the Solaris system, I found that the name was available in both comment and GCOS fields. On my Linux (Debian) box it is in the GCOS field.
So, it seems that using index 6 seems to be working on both Solaris and Debian Linux systems. Here's the updated code:

I can always tell when one of the season's grand balls is taking place, because I'm home eating Klondike bars and watching Lifetime and wondering when my Prince Charming will arrive to pick me up. He never comes, ah, the story of my life. But, thankfully, I do have spies at all of these events, spies with powerful lenses to pick up the hotness from a bevy of decked out ladies trying to out show-off each other on the red carpet of the Metropolitan Museum. The Costume Institute Ball is one of the biggest celebrity galas of the Spring season, a must attend for the rich and famous, the famous, the rich, or just super hot women who get to walk amongst them.
The haute couture led to some surprisingly nice revelations, including Zoe Kravitz slit skirt nearly revealing her fine feathered lady friend in a commando undercarriage, Kim Kardashian flashing her Spanx looking boy hold-them-togethers, Beyonce looking cleavetastic, Rihanna sheer funbag show, Zoe Saldana looking wicked hot, Kendall Jenner looking all grown up, and much much more. Was that event of the season, as they say. I'll say this -- if you love your dress up sextastics, you at least had to peep from the rope line. Quite a show indeed. Enjoy.

Gunny didn't know how to begin... Since Vidya always told him abt every small thing he always thought that Vidya trusted him but was he wrong?????... Just by looking at her he knew she wasn't fine... But what was the reason....???It was the first time that he had seen Vidya like this.... It was very important for Gunny to know abt the matter... He couldn't see his Vidya like this....Every time she was in pain he used to get this feeling that he was going thru right now........He felt very helpless.....
Vidya- Sir aap kuch kehne wale the...
Gunny- Cadet Saxena kya hua hai?? Sab theekh to hain naa??.... Aap itni pareshan kyun lag rahi hain???
Vidya---Pareshan...... Nahi Sir.... Vidya to bilkul theekh hai...
Gunny-Are you sure cadet??? Phir mujhe aisa kyun lag raha hai ki aap mujhse kuch chupa rahi hai... Agar aisi koi baat hai then please tell me... Shayad main aapki kuch madad kar paaoin... Kya aapko mujhpar bharosa nahi hain???
Vidya—Sir Vidya ne aapse kaha na woh bilkul theekh hai Aap khamakha itna pareshan ho rahe hain....Aapko mere liye itni takleef lene ki koi jaroorat nahin.......
Gunny noticed Vidya was not so firm in what she was saying.....
Now he was very sure that theres some problem but there was no way to know about it...It was the first time Vidya did not trust him and he felt really bad abt it...Vidya was closely watching Capt Randhawa, she knew he was hurt. It was the first time Vidya had spoken to him like that...She couldn't forgive herself for what she did...She hated herself for sayin all that to him.......
Gunny-Theekh hai cadet agar aap keh rahi hain to....I hope I can trust you Isnt it??? OK ... Ab aap so jaaiye... Main chalta hoon Good night...
Vidya-Good night Sir....
Gunny came out of her room but wasn't able to know how to know the truth....He was in a state of confusion.....
Inside her room just as Vidya closed the door and she turned around she heard a gunshot.....
Capt Randhawa had just left..... Vidya couldn't believe it.... She struck the door open and she saw.............................

Vidya opened the door and saw blood splattered all over the walls and Capt.Randhawa lying in a pool of blood. With a start Vidya sat up on her bed and looked around to see Akriti sleeping peacefully on her bed. She realized it was a nightmare she saw. She took a deep breath to calm herself. She lay on her bed once again . The nightmare totally upset her. Vansh was killed right in front of her but at that point of time she couldnot do anything to save him ...but this time she made a promise to herself that she would go to any length to protect Capt.Randhawa's life even give up her life if needed. She wondered what to do.
She remembered whole fiasco with the eagle file that took place during the delta point drill. After that incident she realized that they were not honourable people and would not stick to their word. After getting the file last time the man had refused to give out any details regarding Vansh's death so this time too she did not expect them to give out any details but she had to go as per their instructions.
The million dollar question at the moment for her was 'what to do?' She needed someone's help for sure.

Hey now that?s really gr8.I must say this is fun... And not to forgetprincessuma, darwin, cool~~gal, sanyogita_a you guys you are doing a wonderful job takin the story forward.... Keep it up!!!!
Now here?s my part of the story------------
I hope you guys like it...
Vidya thought maybe confiding in someone wud be appropriate at this stage... But who to trust was the big question in front of her... She never came to the point of sharing anything with her fellow cadets because Capt Randhawa was always there for her. But today she couldn?t tell him abt anything... Vidya remembered the nightmare she had last night... No she couldn?t bear it again... She had seen the torture Vansh went through and she couldn?t see the same thing happening with Capt Randhawa. She had to do something to save him....But what???????
Back in his office Capt Randhawa was still where he was last night. He couldn?t understand as to do what so that he could know the truth...He was very sure Vidya wouldn?t tell him... But what was it that she didn?t want to tell him....????? Just as he was in his thoughts there was a knock on the door....
Gunny-Yes who is it????
Capt it?s me came the reply frm Capt Chauhan
Gunny-Oh Capt aap Aaiye.... Baithiye.......
Abhi?Hum aapko surveillance room main dekhne gaye the par pata chala aap to yahan hain... Capt Randhawa kya aapne khabar suni........
Gunny-Kaunsi khabar captain kahin aap SD ke baare mein to...????Kya aapko koi clue mile hain......????
Abhi?At ease Captain Randhawa.Lagta hai humse jyaada aap unke baare mein jyaada sochte hain... Par baat unke baare mein nahin. Baat darasal yeh hai ki Lala Gehlot jail se faraar ho chuka hain... He is missing frm last week...Actually yeh baat abhi tak bahar nahi aayi kyunki agar aam janta ko iske baare mein pata chalega toh unka army aur police par se vishwas hi ud jaayega... Aur aap to jaante hi hain Capt ki agar media ko iske baare mein jara bhi bhanak hui to phir..Kal raat ko wirless par message aaya hain HQ se... It?s a top secret Capt... Hume laga shayad Major Sharma ne aapko bata diya hoga......Aapko pareshan sa dekha to hume laga ki aap yahi baat ko lekar pareshan hain......... Hume toh yakeen nahi ho raha ki Lala Gehlot jail se bhaagne mein kaamyab ho gaya... Jab bhi us ghatiya Insaan ka jikr hota hai hume Babasa ki yaad aati hain....Kaise hamare Babasa ke saath us Lala Gehlot ne..........
Gunny?Im sorry Capt par yeh sab hua kaise... I mean eetne security ke baavajud... Lala bhaagne mein kaamyaab kaise, Mujhe kuch pata nahin chal raha....
Abhi?Pata to hume bhi nahi chal raha Capt. Randhawa, aap jaante hain iska matlab kya hain.....KMA is in danger... Kab kya ho jaaye pata nahin....Hume to lag raha hai shayad Minister Shroff ke maut ke peeche bhi Lala ka hi haath hoga..... We have to be very alert. Humpar bahut badi jimmedari hain....
Gunny-Yes Capt we need to be very alert..........
In the meantime an orderly came to tell that Maj. Sharma had been looking out for Capt. Chauhan...
Abhi left but Gunny was not able to know what was happening... Ek musibat khatam nahi ki dusri shuru... He wanted to know first the reason behind Vidyas condition but now there was something more in store for him....
Anyone continue now...

Simhat Torah is the time to rejoice and to celebrate the completion of the
reading of the Torah. Yet a little known, but important, aspect of the holiday
is the fact that throughout the world on Simhat Torah, Jews pray for rain – in
Israel on 22 Tishrei and a day later in the Diaspora. After all the joyous
processions with the Torah scrolls, after the singing, dancing and merriment,
when the scrolls are returned to the Ark, we recite: "Tefillat Geshem," the
Prayer for Rain.Why pray for rain, and why at this particular time? For
Jews who live in the Southern Hemisphere (Australia, New Zealand, South Africa)
it doesn't even make sense, for in that part of the world summer is approaching,
yet they are still required to make the petition. And is a winter of hard rain
really necessary in Chicago?

You've probably already heard about Nvidia's recent price cuts affecting its latest GT200 series cards. If you're not in the market for a high end graphics board, you probably weren't very impressed, as €400 is still a lot to pay for a graphics card, no matter how powerful it may be.
However, in the past week there were some pleasant changes in the sub-€100 price range as well, and this is what will interest most consumers. A couple of weeks ago we wrote about expected price drops for the HD3850 series, hoping it will end up around the €65 mark. We weren't far off, as reference cards are now available for €69 all over the place. In case a reference card just won't cut it for you, you can get PowerColor's overclocked 3850 with PCS cooling and 512MB of memory for just €10 more.
This time Nvidia isn't giving ATI a free ride and its 9600GT is breathing down ATI's neck. Elitegroup's reference 9600GT is currently available for just €77, making it a very appealing alternative to the HD 3850, which has long been touted as the best buy card in its class. Most Nvidia vendors sell their 9600GT cards for €90 - €100, but it's obvious they'll drop their prices very soon. Nvidia AIBs also have some 9600GSO cards on the market, but at the moment they sell for about the same as a 9600GT, making them nothing more than sucker bait on the shelves.
Going one step up the ladder, you can get a reference HD 3870 for €94, or an 8800GT for €108, so no big changes there, at least not yet.
Basically if you've got a low-res screen (i.e. 19-inch, or even a 32-inch 1366x786 TV), all of these cards should be more than enough for your casual gaming needs and at these prices they're practically begging to be bought.

It's been seven years since Uganda first struck oil. But the stuff still isn't flowing and won't be for a while, even though a landmark oil bill finally passed in December and many in the government are eager to start pumping.
If you're part of the Ugandan equivalent of the 'drill baby drill' crowd – whatever they call their type in Kampala – what's troubling is that the December bill, on the upstream sector, may have been easy compared to what's next.
Two more oil bills need passing and a prickly refinery issue needs resolving before any Ugandan oil flows. Official estimates for 'first oil' have crept from 2011 to 2013 and now up to 2017. Infighting and gridlock seem to have paralyzed the government to the point that it's fair to wonder whether production will even begin by the end of the decade. So why the holdup? What is at stake?
One of the oil bills currently up for debate – a broader public finance bill with a chapter on oil revenues – could essentially determine how much of Uganda's oil money trickles down to the people. The other bill, dealing with the downstream sector, has a proposed oil refinery at its heart and is complicated by negotiations with international oil companies (see blog) about the size of the refinery to be built.
If the upstream bill offers any clues, debate is likely to drag on. That bill took two and a half years to pass after grinding debate over the powers of the energy minister. It got so bitter that when the dominant party in Parliament, President Yoweri Museveni's National Resistance Movement (NRM), tried to push through a vote on the bill in November, the opposition stalled and eventually got out of their seats literally chanting 'No Vote!' 'No Vote!' until the speaker of Parliament abruptly and prematurely adjourned the session. A few weeks later, the bill passed after some NRM maneuvering kept the minister's powers intact. Opposition to the apparent ministerial overreach is still simmering.
This doesn't bode well for a speedy debate or happy outcome for the public finance bill. Parliament may again shake with the chants of the opposition.
Still though; some things the public finance bill has got right, in the eyes of best practice luminaries like Revenue Watch. It prohibits the use of oil revenues as collateral for public debt, so that the government can't take on massive loans to help finance, for example, a new airport expressway for Kampala while telling lenders, hey, we got no money now but we'll have oil gushing in a few years, why don't you take some of that?
It also establishes a petroleum investment reserve 'to support future generations', in which a portion of oil revenues will be saved, invested outside the country, and used only once Uganda's oil has run out.
But the bill doesn't make any rules saying that the money has to be spent for this purpose. The intent of the investment reserve may well be 'to support future generations', but that could mean nothing if the intent is not made statutory. And can you guess who would manage and oversee the holding account into which all oil revenues (about $2 billion annually when production peaks) are to flow? And who would have final say over where money from the account is disbursed?
Pretty obvious by now where I'm going with this. If the bill passes the finance minister, appointed by and reporting to the president, would have oversight over the oil money coming in to the government, and the oil money paid out. Suddenly, the best practice provisions lose some of their teeth. One step forward, two steps back.
This is what's so frustrating about the Ugandan government's dealings with oil. On the one hand, it seems eager to please the foreign transparency and development types and says all the right things, for the most part, about international best practice and becoming more like Norway and less like Nigeria in how it runs the industry.
But beyond the loud calls for transparency and accountability and so on, when it gets to who makes final decisions on matters like contract licensing and revenue management, feel-good references to best practice are conspicuously absent. The ministers, the non-elected officials reporting to the president, take center stage.
The government seems adept at window dressing with carefully worded statements about the importance of good governance, Parliamentary oversight and the role of independent auditing bodies but, when it's time to do business, it's like none of that really matters. I'm not privy to the finance minister's conversations with opposition MPs but he probably defends his authority by saying he has the best interest of the Ugandan people at heart, and why should Uganda entrust control over oil revenues to an independent body when he can do the job better?
It's the same storyline repeated sequel to sequel that it's almost banal. And there's a darker side to it too. The December death of Cerinah Nebanda, a 24 year old MP, a day after she openly criticized the upstream oil bill and President Museveni's handling of oil contracts, is mysterious at best. From what I understand the investigation is ongoing, but several opposition MPs have already accused the government of complicity in Nebanda's death. These kinds of things are sickening and have Uganda looking much more like Nigeria than Norway after all.
We may never know what happened to the young outspoken MP. Unfortunately other things in Uganda, like the debate around the public finance bill, are more predictable. The opposition in Parliament seems ready to try to wrestle some power away from the minister, but the president's party, the NRM, still runs the show.
Anyway the bill will probably take so long to pass and the oil so long to flow that by the time it does we'll probably be in a post-carbon age, and the Ugandan people won't even remember what benefits they did not receive. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Doug Gray, lead singer for the Marshall Tucker Band, likes to jam or musically stretch out songs past their normal time limit.
"I have not yet had one audience member in the past 25 to 30 years say, 'I hated the way you did that song,'" Gray said in a recent interview of the technique. "They say how creative it was and 'What record was it on?' I think we're pretty successful because of it. I listen to the audience and when they say play 'Take the Highway' we add a little bit of flute, then something really hard and heavy and then it becomes a little funky. They want to be entertained, not hear the same old 3-minute song. They have something to remind them of a place and time they heard us play before."
The South Carolina-based southern and country rock band, along with Jerrod Niemann, Mark Chestnutt, War and other groups are among the musical headliners, are sltaed to performa at the San Bernardino County Fair in Victorville. The fair runs May 24 through June 1.
Besides songs like the band's 1973 hit "Take the Highway," the Marshall Tucker Band will perform other '70s favorites like "Can't You See" and "Heard It in a Love Song." Gray added, however, the band's shows are never played the same way twice.
"In every show, songs are different to keep the creativity level up higher than most bands do," Gray said.
About 120,000 people are expected to flock to the fairground over the nine days of the San Bernardino County Fair, organizers said. The annual fair, which marks its 67th year at the San Bernardino County Fairgrounds at 14800 Seventh St., includes family entertainment such as Tadpole the Clown, a Fair-etail Forrest, Kid's Kountry Stage and the musical acts.
A new attraction this year is a baby jaguar replacing a white tiger in the Kids Kountry area, Karres said, as well as the addition of the Super Bailazo La Feria, a Spanish-themed event scheduled for May 25.
Gloria Chavez, owner of the Antelope Valley-based company Sonadores Del Jaripeo, said there will be three different live bands — K-Paz de la Sierra, Los Incomparables De Tijuana and La Luz Roja — scheduled to perform.
"We're trying to figure out something for all ages and all types of music," Chavez said. "We're hoping this will be the beginning. As our company gets more involved with different opportunities, we're hoping every year to make it better."
The theme for the fair is "Bee-lieve in Fair-etails!" aimmed at encouraging attendees to be positive and enjoy everything the fair has to offer, Karres said.
"The 'Bee-lieve' comes from the positive thinking part of believing. The bumble bee can't fly because it's body is too heavy and its wings are too light, but he does fly," she explained. "Obviously fair ,,, we're a fair, and we have lots of tails because of the livestock."
Gray, whose group performs on May 26, said this will be his band's seventh time playing the fair.
"I get goosebumps," Gray said. "I go through all these emotional feelings. The jitters is what people call it. I still get those to this day. Sometimes I get it before the dentist office, and I get it before I walk on stage."

While the gorgeous spring weather is here and I want my kids out out out of the house, I still need to keep our craft supply drawers stocked for those stormy days. My kids have been going nuts lately for the Martha Stewart craft punches, and especially the new flower patch designs. They make the most beautiful little floral border around the edges of their construction paper projects–or you know, right in the middle if you're my kids.
Of course full-grown crafters will love them too, for making your own baby shower cards, spring party invitations, or scrapbooking pages. In which case you'll want to grab the matching corner punch as well.
I spent so long joking that Martha makes us all look bad. I kind of like that now, she's making us all look good. –Liz

It is available from a variety of retailers for approximately $12 for a 1.7 ounce jar.
Manufacturer Information
Lacura is manufactured by German company Lacura Skincare. This brand has exclusive links with the Aldi European grocery store chain. This brand offers a range of skincare products which claim to be both high quality and affordable. In the U.S, there are a number of retailers offering the Lacura skincare range.
Lacura Night Cream has been carefully formulated using the finest ingredients to provide naturally beautiful and radiant skin, which is nourished and protected from damage. The primary ingredients include;
- Essential Vitamins: Lacura Night Cream is packed with essential vitamins including the antioxidants Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin E, to stimulate collagen production and protect the skin from free radical damage. It also includes Vitamin B5 to aid the growth of healthy skin cells.
- Plant Extracts: The product also makes use of several plant extracts including Soya Bean germ extract and oil to provide the skin with essential amino acids, protein and mineral packed wheat germ extract, antioxidant rich seaweed extract and safflower, avocado and citrus oil to boost moisture levels in the skin.
- Retinol: Lacura Night Cream also contains retinol, which helps to promote healthy skin elasticity. This firms up the skin, improving the tone and reducing the signs of aging.
- Lacura Night Cream is available for a fraction of the cost of many other anti aging and skin care products. This will make it a more viable option for many consumers
- Readily available from numerous online and offline retailers: While other products may only be available online, Lacura can be purchased through a variety of retailers. This removes the need to sign up for automated shipping programs or providing your credit card details to an unknown retailer.
- Easy absorption without leaving a greasy feeling on the skin: The product is rich in oleic acid and emollients, which means that although it does provide excellent moisturizing effects, there is no greasy or heavy feeling left on the skin.
- Skin feels hydrated and soft: Soft and properly hydrated skin immediately has a more youthful appearance, as fine lines are plumped out.
- No Active Anti Aging Ingredients: Unlike many anti aging creams this product contains no active anti aging creams to support the declining levels of collagen and elastin in older skin
- Unclear Guarantee: While the German store behind the Lacura brand does offer a guarantee for food items, the policy regarding non food items such as beauty products is a little unclear. Although the product is inexpensive, this lack of a clear guarantee policy may dissuade some consumers.
Customer Reviews
This is my favorite go to night cream. It works well on my skin, leaves it moisturizer and plump without feeling greasy. I have a lot of allergies, but this brand does not cause any breakouts or redness. It works very well if you use it as directed every night. I use the day cream every morning as well.
How to Use Lacura Night Cream?
Lacura Night Cream has an almost gel like consistency which is easily absorbed by the skin. The cream should be applied after washing your face before bed. Rub a little cream between your fingers before massaging gently into the face. It will absorb quickly, so you need to be fairly quick. While the cream does have quite a strong fragrance, this fades within a few minutes.

26 February 2009
BRCWomen from around the world joined together in Newport to celebrate diversity and the impact women have on their communities at an event organised by the British Red Cross and partner organisations.
The International Women's Day celebration was held at the Share Centre and organised by the British Red Cross, Newport Local Health Board and Welsh Refugee Council, among others.
Welsh Assembly member Rosemary Butler introduced the day, saying: "Women have played a vital role in all societies throughout history but there is still important work to be done in getting women into decision-making positions in Wales, such as magistrates, assembly members and councillors."
As part of the celebration, women performed traditional songs, dances and poems from Wales and around the world. They also showed a film made by young refugees, portraying how they dealt with starting life in a new country, coping not only with the usual teenage pressures but also with exclusion and cultural and language differences.
The event also provided an opportunity to let women know about services they can access in Wales. A Kurdish women's group, set up by Theresa Mgadzah-Jones from the Red Cross' refugee services and Elizabeth Kalynka from the Welsh Refugee Council, had representatives at the celebration.
Elizabeth, who is also a midwife, explained: "We work closely together to help the women settle into this country and promote equality and diversity. While the Red Cross provides English lessons, I provide health education so that we can ensure both mother and child are getting the care and support they need."
One of the event's participants, Selina Begum from Bangladesh, commended the Red Cross for the work it has done preparing women in Bangladesh for disasters and helping them recover after cyclones and floods.
She said: "We are women here from all corners of the world – different cultures, styles of dress and religions – but we are all united by our humanity."

Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory condition that results in immune-mediated damage to the mucosal lining of the small intestine. It occurs in genetically predisposed people who consume gliadin — a protein in gluten-containing foods such as wheat, rye and barley — and usually responds to a gluten-free diet.
Although the immune response genes HLA-DQ2 and DQ8 — present in about 40 percent of the population — increase susceptibility to CD, they do not cause it, even in people who regularly consume gluten. More than a dozen non-HLA genes have been identified that may contribute to CD as well as environmental factors such as pregnancy, stress and infection.
A recent study co-authored by Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist Joseph A. Murray, M.D., of Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., found a strong association between celiac disease and gastroenteritis and other bacterial intestinal infections.
"The study suggests that adults who have gastroenteritis are more likely to be diagnosed with celiac disease within a couple of years," he says. "Gastroenteritis may be the match that lights the fuse of gluten intolerance."
Other studies have found that children who experience early infections are more prone to CD and that a robust gut microbiota — and possibly breast-feeding — may be protective. So far, however, the triggering mechanism of the disease remains unknown.
Also unclear is the reason for the dramatic upswing in diagnosed cases — a five-fold increase from 1999 to 2008 — and why, in spite of this, CD remains undiagnosed in most of the nearly 2 million Americans estimated to have it. Dr. Murray, who co-authored a definitive study on diagnosed and undiagnosed CD prevalence, points out, "Only 1 in every 5 people with celiac disease will be diagnosed — the remaining four will elude diagnosis, so we're not doing a very good job of detecting it."
The issue isn't a lack of diagnostic tools. Newer seriologic testing, despite its limitations, has made evaluation for CD less complicated and more reliable. Tissue transglutaminase antibody (tTG-IgA), perhaps the most accurate test for diagnosing celiac disease, has high sensitivity and reasonably high specificity. And new celiac test algorithms can rule out CD in most patients, even those who have already reduced gluten in their diets.
Dr. Murray says the real problem in diagnosing celiac disease is that it is often hiding in plain sight. Although it damages the small intestine, CD can affect any part of the body, including the nervous, reproductive, endocrine, skeletal and cardiopulmonary systems. A substantial number of patients may not present with classic gastrointestinal symptoms, such as diarrhea, weight loss, bloating and abdominal pain, but rather with anemia, osteoporosis, peripheral neuropathy, ataxia or cognitive impairment.
In effect, Dr. Murray says, CD is everywhere — "a disease of the masses" — but clinicians often fail to recognize it. "If a patient with osteoporosis or infertility isn't responding to treatment, suspect celiac disease," he says. It should also be suspected in patients with type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome or other autoimmune disorders, as well as in cases of irritable bowel syndrome or chronic diarrhea.
"Even after all that, most patients will elude diagnosis because the disease hasn't produced enough of an impact to cause symptoms," Dr. Murray says. That argues for universal screening. At Mayo Clinic, asymptomatic people considered at risk of gluten intolerance are routinely screened, including family members of celiac patients. Eventually, Dr. Murray thinks, celiac testing may become routine for everyone. "We're amassing more evidence to suggest that we have to screen people rather than just waiting for the disease to become apparent," he says.

Mecca is, for many, the heart of Islam. It is the birthplace of Muhammad, the direction to which Muslims turn when they pray, and the site of pilgrimage that annually draws some three million Muslims from all corners of the world. Yet the significance of Mecca is more than purely religious. What happens in Mecca and how Muslims think about the political and cultural history of Mecca has had and continues to have a profound influence on world events to this day.
In this insightful book, Ziauddin Sardar unravels the meaning and significance of Mecca. Tracing its history, from its origins as a "barren valley" in the desert to its evolution as a trading town and sudden emergence as the religious center of a world empire, Sardar examines the religious struggles and rebellions in Mecca that have significantly shaped Muslim culture. An illuminative, lyrical, and witty blend of history, reportage, and memoir, Mecca reflects all that is profound and enlightening, curious and amusing about Mecca and takes us behind the closed doors to one of the most important places in the world today.

"Interesting, but narration flawed"
My first review after listening to more than 20 Audible books. I would strongly recommend listening to the sample available before purchase. Occasional mis-pronunciation would not be a flaw generally, but, combined with inappropriate pauses in the (pause) flow of sentences, including (pause) when a subclause might be the (pause) end of one (pause) sentence or the beginning of the next, it becomes tiresome. For the length of this programme, proportionately it has taken the longest to battle through from beginning to end.
"Disney land or Frame of Conscious?"
Summon information about Mecca and about Muslim history in general that some wish not to remember, let alone to think of.

Both pupils and staff were very excited about the experience they encountered and staff said it was the first trip they had be on that was not stressful due to the hard work your staff put in. Thank you so much for your support of booking the trip and the wonderful day you provided us with. We will be visiting again next year!".
"We had a wonderful time at the Park Farm on Saturday, starting when we arrived and enjoyed a brilliant lunch. We were so impressed with the efficiency and quality of the food, swiftly prepared and served even though we ordered for six hungry adults! Thoroughly enjoyed the deer safari, lamb feeding and a good chat about the tortoises. All the visitor facilities were great and we found all the staff very helpful and informative, especially the chap talking us through the 12.15 deer safari (not the tractor driver) A lovely family day out - duly posted on Facebook to spread the word!
Snettisham Park Farm gave us a memorable family day out, so impressed with the set up, well done! We will definitely come again

Deer Safari
Our tractor and covered trailer, or Safari Land Rover ride is a magical experience not to be missed. During the 45 minute round trip you will meet and be able to feed our spectacular herd of red deer with over 60 hinds and 2 stags. You can be sure to get an amazing close encounter with our Deer all of which are more than happy to feed from your hands.
Please watch our deer safari video (above right) for more information
During the spring and summer months our deer safari's run throughout the day with the first one after 10 am during school holidays and 11.30 am during term times. To avoid disappointment later in the day, please ring to confirm as this is subject to change.
Please note: During January the safari's run weekends only at 11.00 am and according to demand during the afternoon.
During the calving months of May, June and July you will be able to see the beautiful spotted calves. During this time the Stags will be growing their new antlers in time for the rutting season towards the end of September. This time of year is the best time to visit the deer park, just be sure to bring a camera.
Our knowledgeable and friendly deer park rangers commentate throughout the safari to help you get the most from your experience among these magnificent animals. If you are lucky you might even see some deer swimming in the lakes down in the Ingol valley. During your safari you will learn about the crops we grow and their use.
Update from the Deer Park June 2017
June is a wonderful month to take a safari! We now have over 35 deer calves in the park that our visitor's are able to see whilst on safari. There are more to come!
August 2016
our stags started to loose the velvet from their antlers. During
the stags looked their most impressive as they displayed fully grown antlers ready for the rutting season. During October, we removed their antlers so they were unable to injure each other or any of the hinds during the rut.
The antlers now have protruding points making Rufus look awesome.
Rufus 2016
(11 years old) Up until 2013 Rufus was still pushed around by Harry despite being a large stag for his age. During 2014 his dominance over Harry and the other stags was evident. This picture taken March 2016 shows his antlers just starting to grow.
This picture of
was taken 6th June 2016. The growth of his antlers is quite amazing. Compare to the above picture taken end of March!
Here is
(picture taken August 13th 2016). He started to shed the velvet from his antlers and rubbed them on thorn bushes and reeds.
again (picture taken August 25th 2016). He is now proudly displaying his perfect and impressive rutting aid!!
Rufus is now top st
To conclude, here is
after his antlers were removed September 22nd 2016. He now has over 60 hinds to look after.
, the oldest of our boys, died naturally with his herd during December 2014 at the amazing and grand old age of 16 years. He was formally our top stag and still displayed a wonderful set of antlers again this year. A very dominant Rufus took over the herd during 2013.
This picture (taken in March 2014) shows him before his antlers developed.
Stags sparring
This picture shows two of our stags sparring.
A late arrival November 2015
During the October 2015 half term holiday this little calf was born much to the surprise and delight of staff and visitors on safari!
Our much loved Sophie died on Friday 18th October 2013 at the grand old age of 17 years. She still produced a healthy calf that year and enjoyed the summer following the safari trailer around the deer park. She died naturally in the park with her herd.
Wildlife in the deer park
Whilst on a safari, you will be able to enjoy a rich variety of wildlife in the deer park. Shelduck, oyster catchers, coots and even a bar-headed goose (one of the world's highest flying birds) are a few examples and can be frequently seen.
Please see our wildlife page and multi media gallery for more pictures.

I didn't watch the Democratic debate last night because … well, I had better things to do. Apparently, it was quite contentious. But one point that came up was whether Clinton is part of the establishment.
Sanders: "I will absolutely admit that Secretary Clinton has the … support of far more governors, mayors, members of the House [of Representatives]. She has the entire establishment or almost the entire establishment behind her. That's fact. I don't deny it. I'm pretty proud that we have over a million people who have contributed to our campaign — averaging 27 bucks apiece."
Clinton: "Senator Sanders is the only person who I think would characterize me, a woman running to be the first woman president, as exemplifying the establishment … And I've got to tell you that I — [applause] it's really quite amusing to me."
Let me break that down for you. Sanders made the incredibly reasonable point that Clinton is in with the entire party establishment (including have already secured many superdelegate votes), has been walking the innermost halls of power for 25 years and has received six figure speaking fees from Wall Street interests. Clinton's response?
She has two X chromosomes.
Clinton always plays the gender card when she's cornered. And Sanders has her cornered on this issue. Clinton's entire campaign is establishment politics. The reason she says she should be President is because she can "get things done" and "knows the ropes" and "has experience". That's the basic definition of establishment.
Clinton couldn't be more establishment if she had a concrete foundation and was wired for electricity. https://t.co/B5YjIuBaoL
— Maggie McNeill (@Maggie_McNeill) February 5, 2016
Clinton's supporters — including her mouthpieces at Vox — are trying to argue that Sanders is establishment as well because he's in Congress almost as long as Clinton has been around and has gotten a lot of money from unions. They have a small point. But there is a huge difference between being a third party crackpot Senator from Vermont and a first lady, New York Senator, Secretary of State who was given $675,000 in speaking fees from Goldman Sachs for … well, I'm sure for no reason at all.
Establishment politicians are unpopular. And Clinton wants to have it both ways: playing up her experience and insider knowledge while pretending that she's not really the establishment. Normally, she would get away with it. The fawning media would fall in line. The feminists would say, "well, of course no woman could possibly be establishment." But Sanders, God bless the old crank, won't let her get away with it.

Oh, that reminds me of the other idea that I had that I was going to put in that post: Titles. One of the reasons, I'm given to understand, that there are powers associated by level (and thus the different systems that have evolved), is that otherwise the XP levels are somewhat useless.
Therefore, I've got an idea that might make them somewhat more meaningful. (I'm not sure that's a good thing, though, for the same reason (more or less) that I'm not sure that having hidden node reps is a good thing.)
Simply make one's rank displayed before their name. For example, instead of this node displaying as "by theorbtwo", have it display as "by scribe theorbtwo". That'd at least instill a sense of respect by those who pay attention to titles, and knowledge of the respect that others pay to them to those who don't.
OTOH, the fact that someone's experience and respectability doesn't necessarily match their XP is made more important to this scheme.
Like I said, I don't know if this is a good idea or a bad one, just an idea.
Oh, and BTW, this would also add to the anachronistic air of the place, which I think would be a Good Thing.
Thanks for your consideration,
