Here is a series of short papers about the problems with mandatory minimums, from many different angles. If there is an issue that you'd like to see us address, please let us know.
Mandatory Minimums: FAQs about drug sentences. Supporters of harsh sentencing laws claim that they work, or if they don't, not that many people are being hurt. See for yourself.
Mandatory Minimums: By the numbers. Here are the basics on how many people in Massachusetts are sentenced to mandatory minimums, for how long and at what cost.
Mandatory Minimums: No decrease in addiction. Mandatory minimums were supposed to reduce or get rid of substance abuse and addiction. They didn't.
Mandatory Minimums: Compare the sentences. Nonviolent drug offenders can – and do – get longer sentences than violent criminals. This is justice?
Mandatory Minimums: The school zone law. This particular mandatory minimum has sent thousands to prison, even if they posed no threat to public safety.
Mandatory Minimums: Bipartisan support for reform. Both conservatives and liberals are calling for change. Both red and blue states are heeding the call.
Mandatory Minimums: Reforms in other states. See what other states have done over the last decade.
Mandatory Minimums: Bills for reform. These bills are currently being considered by the Massachusetts Legislature.

Wireless Access Router Project (WARP)
The project goal is to create a wireless AP that will provide authentication, file sharing and redirection to a common portal page. Internet access would also be provided through a second network interface once the user has logged in through the portal page. We're using a Raspberry Pi because it's inexpensive, flexible and a popular platform today with many resources available for help and documentation. The finished project could be used to allow SMLUG members to quickly network PC's at meetings for file and application sharing. Read more

NASA Calls on APL to "Catch" a Comet
When astronomers announced last September 24 that they had discovered Comet C/2012 S1, predicted to swing past the Sun in late 2013, it meant a combination of excitement (the chance to study a new and rarely observed type of comet) and anxiety (there was barely a year to prepare for the observations).
For a team of about 30 APL staffers, it soon meant a fast scramble to meet an urgent need from NASA. The agency wanted to know whether APL could develop a payload and gondola for a balloon mission to study the comet — named ISON after the Russian institution from which it was first observed — during a window of mid-September to mid-October 2013.
Program Manager Dewey Adams, of APL's Space Department, says such a program would normally take 18–24 months to develop. After some fast studies and deliberations at the Laboratory and discussions with the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), APL told NASA it could be done. The Balloon Rapid Response for comet ISON (BRRISON) project was born; the project is led by NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland. "We're going to do it in 10 months, on schedule, and with a high level of science," says Adams.
"This is the kind of rapid response project that APL has a good record of doing," says the Space Department's chief scientist and BRRISON Principal Investigator Andy Cheng. "NASA already had a study in progress at APL and SwRI about the possibility of doing decadal planetary science from a balloon, but this is the real thing. It's amazing to think that the first scheduled decadal science balloon study will be on a comet, one that goes from being discovered to observed in only 13 months."
The arrival presents a fantastic chance to do fundamental science, with one big problem: No one knew comet ISON was on its way until late last year. While other space assets will attempt to observe many of ISON's characteristics, it's important to measure certain specific aspects of the comet. "Getting [BRISSON's] instruments above the atmosphere is critical," Adams says.
The only way to make the deadline is to use a lot of existing hardware, experience, and knowledge. APL's successful Stratospheric Terahertz Observatory (STO) balloon mission, which studied the Milky Way in early 2012, proved key when the team was examining how to make BRRISON a reality.
BRRISON's planned mission will use much of the hardware and knowledge from STO to soar some 120,000 feet (about 23 miles) high on a balloon that eventually expands to the size of a football field, carrying an aluminum-frame gondola the size of a small cottage that will place two instruments sharing a 0.8-meter telescope above 99.5% of Earth's atmosphere. This altitude removes almost all barriers to clear observations, providing many of the benefits of a space-based instrument but at far lower cost.
"We're reusing a lot of hardware built for STO" and other balloon missions, says the Space Department's Pietro Bernasconi, APL's resident balloon expert and BRRISON gondola lead. He adds that the team is developing new technical items for improved positioning stability, because gondolas on balloons oscillate from side to side. BRRISON will carry a new mechanism to reduce oscillation and provide the best stability ever achieved on a balloon mission of this type.
That stability will benefit the two instruments, one that covers visible light (now being built and provided by SwRI) and one for infrared. APL is reusing and improving STO's infrared instrument. "In some ways, we're reflying STO with a new instrument package," says Karl Hibbitts, BRRISON deputy principal investigator and infrared telescope lead. "Almost everything is a legacy system or very simple; that's the only way this works. Plus, Pietro has shown he can fly with positional accuracy on an object that's not the Sun." Given the distance to ISON and the comet's dim and diffuse light properties, that capability will prove invaluable, he adds.
When completed (scheduled for early September), BRRISON's gondola and attached science payload will be trucked to NASA's Scientific Balloon Flight Facility in Fort Sumner, New Mexico, where it will be joined to a balloon. A few weeks later, the team will attempt to launch; just like a spacecraft launches, balloon launches are subject to weather and cloud restrictions that can delay scheduled ascents. If all goes well and BRRISON can perform its mission, it will spend only about 20 hours aloft before returning to Earth; the proximity of population centers makes longer flights too risky.
Hibbitts, like the rest of the team, says the project is a mix of tension and fun. "This is why I'm at APL," he explains. "This is what APL does. We have the institutional mentality to tackle this."

thank you for your time,
when the command is run....it runs the tar command but states by every file that 'cannot open file or directory'
02-02-2005 #4
there's your problem:

did you mount the cd?
excerpted from the gentoo handbookCode:
If the system replies with an error, you may need to mount the CD-ROM first: Code Listing 9: Mounting the CD-ROM ls /mnt/cdrom/stages ls: /mnt/cdrom/stages: No such file or directory mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom cd /mnt/gentoo tar -xvjpf /mnt/cdrom/stages/stage3-<subarch>-2004.3.tar.bz2~Mike ~~~ Forum Rules

02-03-2005 #9
Well he was also trying to do /mnt/stages
02-06-2005 #10
The cd should already be mounted as you are running off it.
Did you create /mnt/gentoo, make a filesystem on /mnt/gentoo and then mount /dev/hdax /mnt/gentoo and cd /mnt/gentoo; tar xvjpf /mnt/cdrom/stages/stage3-<subarch>-2004.3.tar.bz2 ?Me & Myself just ganged up on I....... Now We all have problems..and none of Us are speaking!

text: Of diversity and poor phrasing Duke has long dedicated itself to the pursuit of socioeconomic diversity. In 2012, the University launched the Socioeconomic Diversity Initiative to assess the state of financial diversity. In light of those findings, the administration has introduced a suite of new policies. These include the construction of a financial literacy website for students, the creation of a new faculty position to support low income and first generation college-goers and the elimination of "hidden fees" attached to some classes. We support these new initiatives. Accepting students from a broad range of class backgrounds not only helps financially disadvantaged students gain access to a high quality education, but it also adds richness and depth to the Duke community. Both inside and outside the classroom, students from varying financial backgrounds provide invaluable perspectives and promote awareness of class differences. Although the website and other policy changes are a step in a more inclusive direction, they fail to address the underlying issue: providing low-income students the opportunity to receive a Duke education. The obstacles preventing Duke from radically improving the socioeconomic diversity of its campus extend well beyond its Gothic walls. Unequal access to college counseling, for instance, privileges affluent applicants over their lower-income peers. Duke can, however, begin to improve inclusivity by increasing financial aid and ensuring that this aid covers necessary but overlooked costs of attending college. Spending more money on financial aid would, in our view, be a better allocation of funds than websites or new faculty positions. These things have some value, but they are largely cosmetic fixes, and the money spent on those initiatives ought to be spent on the students themselves. Despite these improvements, we are deeply troubled by a statement made by Steve Nowicki, dean and vice provost for undergraduate education, about socioeconomic diversity. Nowicki claimed that Duke and its peers are "inherently an upper-middle class environment," and that "we kind of want it to be an upper-middle class environment because that's the place where our students will end up." If we interpret this statement charitably, we might conclude that Nowicki was merely describing the socioeconomic makeup of the student body and expressing his desire that Duke help students ascend social and professional ladders. Nowicki seemed also to be suggesting, however, that Duke's administration, despite calls for greater "diversity," seeks to squeeze all of its students into the upper-middle class. Moreover, his statement reduces college to its instrumental value and implies that students ought to seek high-paying jobs, rather than use their skills to pursue careers that they find personally fulfilling. What is perhaps most troubling about Nowicki's statement is that it reflects a complete misunderstanding of what socioeconomic diversity is and ought to be. Not only is the upper-middle class—its culture and lifestyle—fraught with deep social problems, but it is precisely the pervasiveness of "an upper middle-class environment" at Duke that funnels students into a narrow range of professional paths and makes low-income students feels painfully out of place. It is contradictory for the administration to publicly call, on the one hand, for more socioeconomic diversity, while privileging, on the other hand, a particular class over others. We suggest Nowicki choose his words more wisely.

Filler Versus Content
Today I'm going to discuss a real writing problem I've run into for which I have no solution.
Filler is bad. This I trust to be a universally recognized fact. What exactly constitutes filler is up for debate; it's easy enough to define it as "anything that isn't content," but that just shifts the question to what exactly constitutes content. The old chestnut that content advances the plot or builds character strikes me as too limited. Vivid descriptions neither advance the plot nor build character, yet they are essential; strengthening the themes of the story (say, through a parallel side plot) is another kind of content. But we all know filler when we see it: Those dull passages where people you don't care about do things you don't care about.
Common wisdom states that filler should always be removed; a good story is composed entirely of content. I believe common wisdom is right, but there's an equal and opposite problem: If every scene in a novel is important, it can start to feel like too much. The reader might be overwhelmed and unable to keep track of the plot if zie is constantly faced with one thing after another without any downtime, and the whole thing may feel too rushed. But how can you slow it down without adding filler?
Most of the possible solutions are not really solutions at all.
- Add subplots: If the problem is that the main plot advances too fast and if the overall story isn't too long, a subplot can be a great breather. Make it something lighter in tone than the rest of the story and without high stakes or too much complexity. But if your novel is already on the long side — or if an excess of complex subplots is the problem — then that's not a good answer.
- Remove subplots: The inverse solution. This is a good idea if your novel is too long and too full of convoluted plot threads for anyone to keep track of, and most of the time it falls under the "no filler" rule as you prune subplots that don't actually contribute to the overall narrative. But what if the story is neither too long nor too short? What if all the material that's in there is good, but it simply happens too fast?
- Rearrange scenes: If there are particular important scenes that are getting lost, taking a close look at your organization may help. Space out those important scenes, especially side plot scenes that may not obviously tie in with the main story, in between slower-paced, less important scenes. But reorganizing is no help if many scenes are getting lost or if there are no less important scenes to juxtapose them with.
- Add description: I feel the need to mention this one for completeness. Sometimes a novel may be paced too fast because it's too terse. Descriptions serve an important pacing purpose by preventing the plot from reading like an outline, and they also work as a moment of downtime because they rarely contain essential information. But there's a limit to how much description you can include without sounding like Bulwer-Lytton. So, again, this only helps if your story was too short and description-light to begin with.
Do you have any other suggestions for how to slow the pacing of a novel without adding filler?

Ok, first time reaserching a build as currently using a 3 year old laptop. After lagging my friends (and myself) into frustration playing starcraft it's time I finally got something to really play with.
- Budget: I'm fine with spending up to $2000 (AUD), but I'd like to probably start off with something more $1500ish with upgradeability.
- Resolution: I'm going to be buying a monitor with this as well, Res at 1920x1080. Leaning towards a Benq G2420HD HDMI 24" LCD, but open to suggestion.
- Games / Settings Desired: I'd like to be able to play SC2 at complete max, GW2 will be played in future but specs arn't in for the game yet so estimating etc. Skyrim will also be part of the waiting period
- Any other intensive software or special things you do : I know my friend would be interested in getting my build to do some video editing/recording. He does some wow videos and with GW2 we might try and do some videos with two different perspectives at once. Also intrested in doing some folding at home, always wanted to get into that.
- Country: From Australia, so there's beach tax on all this kit
- Parts that can be reused: Build is completely from scratch, All I have is my mouse and mouse pad.
What I've come up with so far, mainly thanks to Marest's Sample Builds page.
MoBo: Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3P http://www.austin.net.au/ProductList...3/Default.aspx
CPU: Intel i5 2500k http://www.austin.net.au/ProductList...K/Default.aspx
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 1866 Mhz 2x4Gb http://www.msy.com.au/product.jsp?productId=8095
GPU: This i'm not sure on, Should I get a 580 where I could upgrade it via sli, or just go straight for maybe 2 560Tris for $200 less? should I do 2 580s straight up?
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint 1TB – $59.99 http://www.austin.net.au/ProductList...J/Default.aspx
SSD: Crucial M4 120Gb – or another ssd I can aquire localy.
PSU: Depends on GPU/s, If It was one 580, Id probably still want to get a 850W for future proofing sli.
Heatsink: Noctua was in recomended, but im not familiar with heatsinks, if i'm not overclocking would I still need this, or could I get a cheaper one?
Case: I like the look of the fractal R3 case, But I know there are probably better cases. Corsair 500R Black was nice as well from the recomended stuff.
Hope I've given enough info here, I'd apreciate any advice given, points in the right direction. I should also say I'm in WA, so while (for example sydney) and perth are technicaly in australia, shipping is still painful to get here. Thanks in advance!

Lately, my Kirby Ultimate G has been acting funny. When I push it forward, it's fine, but when I pull it backward on the carpet, the light on the front flickers and the power flutters off an on. I thought it might be the rollers, so tonight I turned the machine over and pulled out the hair that was wrapped around the roller. However, that did not fix the problem. I should probably backtrack a little bit. In the past, I have had problems with the vacuum running over its own power cord.

When you get to the movie, help her take her coat off and when the movie begins put your arm around her. Don't be shy about this, she wants you to do it.
After the movie is over give her a kiss.

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- One thing you can say about a Curt Schilling outing -- it's an event. Fire up the charcoal and open the tailgates. Watch him pitch and then listen to him explain it.
The themes of the annual St. Patrick's Day game at City of Palms Park yesterday, a 3-1 Red Sox win over the Cleveland Indians, were plentiful:
Theme No. 1: Schilling used five pitches -- fastball, curveball, slider, changeup, split-finger -- among the 74 he threw in allowing two hits (including a home run to Casey Blake) in six innings.
Theme No. 2: He's trying to condition himself to pitch effectively at Fenway Park by changing the direction of fly balls he allows from left and left-center fields to center and right-center.
Theme No. 3: His emerging relationship with catcher Jason Varitek, a couple of preparation freaks who have strong opinions on how hitters should be pitched.
Schilling pitched so well he feels he could start the regular season now.
"Sure, physically I feel good," he said. "Playing with 75 pitches today, I felt as strong after the sixth as when I started the game. Next time I'll probably throw around 90 and stretch it out.
"When I'm out there now it's starting to be more regular season as far as pitch selection and how I go about setting guys up. This was the first time this spring I had a bit of a game plan on guys I wanted to get a feel for. I like that because the season is getting closer and I can start to mentally get locked in."
To be able to command five pitches in a spring training game is impressive. But as Schilling pointed out, there might be three or four games during the season when all five pitches are working. There will also be games where none of them are working. It seems Schilling almost always has his fastball to rely upon, which is the one similarity, according to Varitek, between Schilling and Pedro Martinez.
"The ability to throw No. 1 where they want to and be able to command it is why they're both great pitchers," Varitek said.
Schilling threw only three or four curveballs, according to Varitek, but mixed in the other pitches evenly. Manager Terry Francona felt Schilling was throwing more offspeed pitches than in the past.
Schilling threw 50 of his 74 pitches for strikes. Twelve of his 18 outs were fly balls. Another fly ball was dropped by Brian Daubach in left field. And another was hit out of the park by Blake to left-center on a 2-and-2 pitch.
Schilling said one of his main goals this spring is relocating the fly balls he allows.
"I thought we did that in a couple of situations today where we were intentionally trying to do it," he said. "And that's a good feel for me. I can't really explain it, but when you're on the mound and you're getting ready to throw a pitch and you know the result before it happens, it's a pretty powerful thing, and it happens to me a lot because I've seen these guys hit off me time and time again, so I know if I make my pitch, I know the ball's going to go to this spot if it gets hit."
And if he's locked in, Schilling can position his defense accordingly.
"I moved my infielders a couple of times today, because I knew if the ball was in play, I knew where it was going to go," he said. "When my command is coming on, that's what happens. Fenway is a park that allows you to make mistakes to center and right-center. As a guy who puts balls in the air, I need to make sure that's the part of the ballpark I use the most."
And then there's the Schilling-Varitek relationship.
"From a preparation standpoint, we're birds of a feather," Schilling said. "He's got an opinion on every hitter in different situations, and so do I. I'm going to be able to tap into that extensively, and that's something I've never had before. There aren't many guys in the big leagues that are that into it. I take a lot of pride in the amount of time I put in getting ready for a game, and to know I'm going to have a crutch on the field and in the same clubhouse, it's a big deal to me."
Asked whether they will be able to agree enough to make it work, Schilling said, "I don't know if it's an agree or disagree type of situation. It's more me shaking him off and saying, `I want to do it this way,' and explain to him after the inning why I want to do it, or him making me go a certain way that maybe I didn't want to go in and saying this is why I wanted to do that.
"I've told all the catchers I've ever had if I shake you off and you call a pitch you want, put it back down, to make me understand that you have an idea. A lot of guys don't want to take that responsibility. They want to call the game and put down the fingers you want them to put down. I ask a lot of my catchers, and the guys playing behind me. Sometimes they give it and sometimes they don't. He's certainly a guy who's going to be giving it."
Both players knew about each other's passion for preparation. Schilling said he heard it at the Red Sox' sales pitch to him at his Arizona home last Thanksgiving. But "to what extent I really didn't know until I got with him down here and saw more and more of it," Schilling said.
Varitek said he has not yet gotten into game planning because he's trying to prepare for the season. He figures at some point he and Schilling will watch tape together. This is a different approach than Martinez, who, according to Varitek, goes by feel.
Varitek said he and Schilling will likely come to a meeting of the minds.
"It will [come together] through time," said Varitek. "It's about me learning him and what he can and can't do."

As a stand-up comedian, Harry Hill is the equal of Eddie Izzard, Rich Hall and Frank Skinner. Performing bareback for the first time, the self-styled debonaire dachshund now reads from his fiction debut.
©2002 Harry Hill; (P)2009 Hachette Digital
It's certainly very surreal, but more a series of described scenes than a novel and, sorry Harry, but it just isn't very funny.
"A very little comedy"
Needing an antidote to too many psycho thrillers, I thought I would try a little comedy, which is precisely what Harry Hill serves up. Lacking style, laughs, length and in fact just about anything you might expect in good comedy he offers a collection of silly characters and situations that though a meager hour or so, seems a lot, lot longer: woeful, could I have my money back please Mr Hill.

"I think it's a lot of work," she said. "It's my time to step up."The San Francisco school board elected a new president and vice president Tuesday night, giving the top job to Sandra Fewer and second in command to Emily Murase.
Fewer, in her fifth year on the board, acknowledged the position means more work, same pay, which is about $500 per month for each of the seven board members.
But Fewer, 56, acknowledged she will take the reins in what promises to be a great budget year for schools, with a significant increase in state funding.
"I do think this is the year for the raise for our teachers and (teachers aides)," she said. "This is the year to concentrate on that commitment.
We have some money so I think it's going to work out well for everybody."
Fewer also noted that the current board members are focused on getting things done by working together, a radical departure from years past when the board was a more dysfunctional, bickering bunch.
"I feel like we're acting as adults," she said.
Fewer, a fourth generation Chinese American San Franciscan, put three children through city public schools. Her husband is a retired San Francisco policeman.
She teaches a University of San Francisco graduate course in race organizing and political power.
Murase, 48, is the executive director of the San Francisco Department on the Status of Women.

Bad weather on Wednesday cut short the search for the body of a De Soto man in the Kansas River.
"It's frustrating," said Aaron Henrichs, a Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks officer. "We pushed it as long as we could and ended up running up river with hail and lightning cracking off."
The search has been ongoing since a canoe carrying Shaun Shaw, 26, and friends capsized Saturday near Eudora.
The search will resume at 8 a.m. today, Henrichs said.
"We're going to evaluate how much the river has come up," he said. "Our sonar operator has agreed to stay another day. He's seen some things he's interested in, we just can't seem to get the current or the weather to cooperate to get the dive team in to check."
The Douglas County underwater search team has been standing by to assist.

Obama Heads to Europe to Mobilize Response to Putin
U.S. President Barack Obama is turning a European trip originally focused on nuclear security and trade into a mission to mobilize international opposition to Russia's annexation of Crimea.
White House National Security Adviser Susan Rice said Russian President Vladimir Putin's moves to claim Crimea from Ukraine have prompted the U.S. and Europe to reevaluate their post-Cold War relationship with Russia.
"What will be clear for the entire world to see is that Russia is increasingly isolated," Rice said at a White House briefing on week-long trip, which begins March 24 in the Netherlands. The U.S. is leading the charge to impose costs on Russia "for its aggression against Ukraine."
Russia's incursion into Ukraine has become the central issue for Obama as he enters into a series of discussions with leaders gathering for a nuclear security summit and the annual U.S.-European Union meeting. While there, Obama also will meet with other leaders of the Group of Seven nations, Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. allies in Asia.
It will be the first broad gathering of world leaders since Russia moved into the Crimean region. Russia completed its annexation of Crimea today with Putin signing legislation in Moscow to absorb the Black Sea peninsula and its port, Sevastopol, from Ukraine.
Other Stops
The situation also is overshadowing other stops on Obama's itinerary: his first meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican and a visit to Saudi Arabia to discuss Syria, Iran and Mideast peace talks.
Russia is unlikely to retreat from its annexation of Crimea so the primary goal of Obama's meetings in Europe is to reassure allies on the periphery of Russia such as Poland and the Baltic states and send Putin "a clear deterrent message," said Robert Litwak, director of International Security Studies at the Wilson Center in Washington.
The U.S. and EU have slapped financial sanctions on Russian officials and Putin allies to pressure Russia. Obama and European leaders have signaled that Russia may face further repercussions if it doesn't stop what they see as destabilizing actions in Ukraine.
"We're already quite closely coordinated with our European partners," Rice said.
Possible Sanctions
Obama yesterday also signed a new executive order authorizing though not implementing economic sanctions affecting parts of the Russian economy. They would target financial services, energy, metals and mining, defense and engineering. Those measures carry the risk of squeezing the economies of the U.S. and EU because they would hit multinational companies that do business in Russia.
The turmoil already has had an impact in Russia. The country's benchmark Micex Index (INDEXCF) of stocks fell 1 percent, the most among emerging markets, to 1,307.34 by the close, and yield on government bonds due February 2027 jumped 12 basis points, the most in a week, to 9.42 percent. The ruble has tumbled 9.3 percent against the dollar this year, the worst among 24 emerging markets tracked by Bloomberg after Argentina's peso.
Strobe Talbott, president of the Brookings Institution in Washington who was deputy secretary of state in President Bill Clinton's administration, said Putin's "appetite is unsated" by seizing Crimea and it's too soon to say whether the sanctions will be enough to stop him from going further.
Russian Behavior
"It certainly hasn't changed Russian behavior and it's not going to change Putin's own predilections," Talbot said on Bloomberg Television's "Political Capital with Al Hunt" airing this weekend.
The massing of Russian troops near Ukraine's borders have raised concerns that Putin may push further into the second most populous former Soviet republic.
Rice said the U.S. views with "skepticism" Russia's assertion that movements of its military on the borders of Ukraine were simply training exercises.
Since the breakup of the Soviet Union, the U.S. and EU have supported Russia's integration into the global economy, such as backing its entry into the World Trade Organization.
"But that was predicated on an expectation that Russia would play by the rules of the road, the economic and security rules of the road, international law," Rice said. "What we have seen in Ukraine is obviously a very egregious departure from that."
G-8 Debate
Rice alluded to discussions about suspending Russia from the Group of Eight, saying members will "consider the optimum disposition of the G-8/G-7 mechanism going forward in light of recent developments."
Russia still will take part in the nuclear security conference in The Hague. The summit -- the first was held in Washington in 2010 -- is aimed at working to prevent the spread of nuclear material and the spread of weapons.
While Obama and other heads of state will be attending, Putin is staying home. Russia will be represented by Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Rice said that decision was made before the confrontation over Ukraine.
"We have every interest in continuing to cooperate with Russia and other countries, even where we have differences with them on other issues, on the issue of nuclear security," Rice said.

The pharaohs of ancient Egypt owed their existence to prehistoric climate change in the eastern Sahara, according to an exhaustive study of archaeological data that bolsters this theory.
Starting at about 8500 B.C., researchers say, broad swaths of what are now Egypt, Chad, Libya, and Sudan experienced a "sudden onset of humid conditions." (See a map of Africa.)
For centuries the region supported savannahs full of wildlife, lush acacia forests, and areas so swampy they were uninhabitable.
During this time the prehistoric peoples of the eastern Sahara followed the rains to keep pace with the most hospitable ecosystems.
But around 5300 B.C. this climate-driven environmental abundance started to decline, and most humans began leaving the increasingly arid region.
"Around 5,500 to 6,000 years ago the Egyptian Sahara became so dry that nobody could survive there," said Stefan Kröpelin, a geoarchaeologist at the University of Cologne in Germany and study co-author.
Without rain, rivers, or the ephemeral desert streams known as waddis, vegetation became sparse, and people had to leave the desert or die, Kröpelin says.
Members of this skilled human population settled near the Nile River, giving rise to the first pharaonic cultures in Egypt (related feature: sample and download Egyptian music).
Gift of Pottery
The new study, which appears online today on the Science Express Web site, is based on painstaking research that combines new radiocarbon dating of about 500 artifacts from the region with data from past studies.
Kröpelin and study co-author Rudolph Kuper also collected geological climate data from countless ancient lakebeds, rain pools, and rivers.
Over the course of 30 years the researchers labored for months at a time in deserts where daytime temperatures sometimes topped 120° to 140°F (50° to 60°C).

When I was in Virginia I couldn't help but take photos of my mother-in-law's gorgeous azaleas. I miss them so much when spring arrives. Growing up in the south I would see them erupt into bloom by the hundreds. There were azaleas in almost every yard and they would bloom like there was no tomorrow. I have one in my yard now but it is not quite the herald of spring that I remember fondly and dearly miss. I was so glad to catch them in bloom during our visit to Virginia.

Wyle in the Wildflowers
It has been a while since you saw Miss Wyle. She is 17 months old now, walking, and getting into everything. Her favorite thing to do is to go outside and play in the grass. Every time she can look out the window into the back yard, she points and wiggles. When the weather is nice, we go out in the afternoons, and she crawls among the violets and dandelions, digs in the dirt with her fingers, and collects sticks and leaves to carry around with her as she tries to walk uphill. She is an absolute joy. Until it is time to go inside. She is never happy about that.
Friday, May 10, 2013
The Salamander Trail
I have been trying to take Wyle on a hike once a week since the weather has improved. There are lots of nice trails near the house, and we tried a new one a couple of weeks ago called the Salamander Trail. It was lined with these beautiful yellow flowers and even though the trail parallels a busy road, it was a really lovely hike. Though a word of warning: if you lay down in the flowers to take photos, beware of ticks. This area is really infested with them and I got a couple of nasty bites. I really hate them, too; they take months and months to go away and itch like crazy.

Last Look at Cacapon Spring
I should be in church right now. We are looking for a new church home and I was excited to try out a new place nearby. I was all dressed and ready to walk out the door when I realized I had left my wallet in my baby bag, and my husband had taken both the baby and the baby bag on a hike this morning. I feel like all these little details are slipping my mind, lately, and it is driving me crazy. So, I am home alone in a quiet house, which is so peaceful, and I confess I am rather enjoying it. I am sure Wyle and Bri are enjoying some peace of their own, out in nature, like I did on my trip to West Virginia. These are the final few photos from our Girl's Weekend Away. I hope you, too, are finding peace today, whether in church or in nature or in some other way that makes you feel calm and energized for the week ahead. Have a great day, everyone!

Dusk at Cacapon State Park
I drove with my friend up to the Cacapon Mountain overlook one late afternoon during our trip. The sun was bright and the shadows were sharp, and it looked more like winter than spring at first glance, but it was so quiet and so peaceful. We dallied as long as our hungry bellies could stand it, and then drove back into town for a huge meal at the Earth Dog Cafe. I am still dreaming of those nachos. Seriously.

Mossy Forest Floor
It was still early spring when we went hiking at Cacapon State Forest in West Virginia, and spring was settling in slowly. The greenest thing we saw was the moss carpeting the forest floor.

Moore/Posey Co., IN/Letter of T. M. Moore
This is from a letter sent by T. Mills Moore to a Mrs. Howard, 13 December 1983. Dear Mrs. Howard, received your letter and glad to know that we have a mutual Great, Great, Grandfather. You have about all the information that I can give you which you got from Mr. Harrison and Mrs. Delop. I have no new address of Mrs. Delop. I heard my Grandmother say that she had seen Simeon Moore's tool chest that he brought to South Carolina from Ireland. He was a ship's carpenter. {James William Dupre writes in the margin that this chest belonged to Simeon's grandmother. Mrs. Kathleen Howard states that T. Mills Moore who was in his 90s in 1979 said that Simeon's Grandfather, name unknown was the ship carpenter who came to Charleston. Also that the Moore's were Scots-Irish, medium height, light complected and blue eyed. She also stated that Simeon's parents were James and Ann and James' brother was my ancestor William, father of Aaron of Posey Co., Indiana] I got a Zerox copy of the original picture of Sineon Moore from an Uncle who has since passed away and do not know what happened to it (the original). Sorry I can't be of more help but if any new information turns up I will be glad to pass it on. I have your address on file. With best wishes for the Holiday Season. T. M. Moore.Note by David Glenn Moore: These Moore's seemed to have lived in the Carolinas and Georgia before passing through Tennessee and Kentucky on their way to Posey Co. Indiana in the early 1800s. Aaron Moore (father of Leonard) here is not the same as Aaron C. Moore. On looking at this note for the first time in years I wonder if James and William Moore's Irish father might have been named Simeon? Hence Simeon son of James would be named for his grandfather. Just a speculation. T. M. Moore now deceased lived in Christopher, Illinois.

Hello Sgt. Assault. I' m a machinist also but am not familiar with Mazaks, I use Mastercam for everything (love it). You could check out Practical Machinist web site and they should have a section on Mazak programming. Better yet, tell your boss to get Mastercam. It takes a little time to learn but its worth the effort.

Hey Sgt, good for you taking the initiative to learn Mazatrol. The little I know about it is that it is not the greatest tool for programming. I like the idea of buying mastercam or Mazacam. Your best bet is to scrounge around the shop for the mazatrol manual or disk.
I did find this online, maybe it helps?
Good luck
Posted 19 October 2016 - 10:23 AM
Maybe not a huge help but many Community Colleges are offering a CNC certificate programs. I know that Mazatrol is part of that program at our local Community College. My nephew just finished that program (he got hired before he finished the program). These are "work friendly" courses, meaning they are mostly at night and weekends. Since they are certificate programs - the course work is only related to what your doing. No standard core classes like english or math.
In Virginia, we have several programs like this that are "Workforce Development" programs. The State will cover part of the cost of your classes. Some of that program is Federally funded so it may also apply in other states as well.

I've honestly never seen pure perfume oil in the sense of 100% aromatics and no dilutant. Parfum extrait is usually the highest concentration, but I doubt you'll find many that are higher than 30-40%. A Middle Eastern Basenoter here said that even "pure" oud oil tends to be diluted in their area to 70% to be more wearable, and that's a higher concentration than I've ever heard of in western perfumery.
Of course, raw essential oils and absolutes aren't - or at least, shouldn't be - diluted when you buy them, but I find few are wearable as fragrances themselves, especially undiluted,
Ultimately, extraits tend to be overpriced given that often all you're getting is something that's, say, 5% more concentrated, but they often have a distinct character from the EdT or EdP versions ( see the many discussions of the different strengths of classic Guerlains, for example ).

By: Dana Torres, Sarah Kawka & Rosemary Sebastian Michelle Obama's Voice in the 21st Century Michelle Obama is a mother, a wife, a lawyer, public servant and first lady. The Woman That Does It All
*In 2002 Michelle was named vice president for a community and external relations for the University of Chicago Hospitals. *Michelle gives birth to a beautiful baby girl, Sasha in 2001. Events and Life Of The Lady In Charge *In 2004 Michelle's support and encouragement paid off. Her husband, Obama, was elected as U.S. Senator of Illinois. Michelle's Legacy For Future Generations As the lady of the house, Michelle Obama looks forward to continuing her work on issues that are really close to her heart. Supporting military families, helping working woman, balance career and family, encouraging national service, promoting the arts and education, and fostering healthy eating and healthy living for children and families across the country. Goal - Providing healthier food in schools, help our kids to be more physically active, and make healthy affordable food available in every part of our country. Primary Sources *In 2008 Obama was elected President of the United States of America, most people think that he did it all on his own but one of his greatest supporters was Michelle. She helped him achieve his life long goal. "I am desperate for change -- now -- not in 8 years or 12 years, but right now. We don't have time to wait. We need big change -- not just the shifting of power among insiders. We need to change the game, because the game is broken. When I think about the country I want to give my children, it's not the world we have now." (December 27,2007)
Michelle Obama wants change. She is saying that this is not the world she wants to give to her children. Michelle explains and emphasizes on how this isn't the nation that she or anyone should want to give their children. What Michelle says... "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction." February 18, 2008. Milwaukee WI
"One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals. And so when I hear about negative and false attacks, I really don't invest any energy in them, because I know who I am." This tells you about Michelle and the lesson that she grew up with. This quote was found on a biography website on Michelle Obama.
In this speech Michelle discloses a lot of personal information and relates it to the plans that she has and wants to put into effect. She shows that she is relatable and understands what the typical American individual goes through. * To organize and attend official ceremonies and functions along with her husband. She attends official meetings with her husband and has always been a great support toward what he does and the decisions he makes.
* She as first lady is doing a great job to do the best she can.
* On April 10, 2009 Michelle decided to
advocate eating healthy fruits and vegetables by planting a garden and expressing her genuine care towards childhood obesity. Michelle's roles are... Michelle believes that our economy will continue to get better. She believes that with more and more small changes, the US nation will become equal with opportunities and other financial things. The Thoughts Of The Woman Who Inspires Ending Thoughts On Michelle As a group we have concluded that Michelle Obama is a woman of great power and uses it to her advantage. She has done many things for our country that go unnoticed by a lot of people but after doing this project and presenting it to you all we hope you remember this face as a symbol of hope, strength, and change.

WORLD BRIEFING | EUROPE; France: Smoking, C'est Fini
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Smoking was already banned in offices, schools, airports, hospitals, train stations and other public places. Health Minister Roselyn Bachelot has repeatedly warned that the cafe ban will be strictly enforced.

Primary Colors
(Critical Survey of Contemporary Fiction)
The satirical best-selling novel about a Clinton-esque presidential campaign is engaging but ultimately disappointing. PRIMARY COLORS' popularity seems more a result of the author's desire to remain anonymous than the novel's Washington, D.C. insider insights. In fact, the controversy over the author's identity, subsequent unmasking of NEWSWEEK journalist Joe Klein as the writer, and resulting media attention are more fascinating than the novel itself.
Its first-person exploration of decisions, challenges, and calamities confronting presidential candidate Jack Stanton during a cut-throat primary campaign starts with enthusiasm and good intentions, echoing those of idealistic young aide Henry Burton. Full of keen observations and scandalous events, the novel provides a peek into the world of political strategists, with their pithy verbal shorthand making it a fun read.
As the campaign evolves, Henry finds Stanton's steel-spined and brilliant wife Susan as impressive as her charismatic but duplicitous husband. He also becomes involved with media consultant Daisy Green as the campaign ship tries to stay afloat despite smears from opponents and news-grabbing events.
Henry's sympathetic voice overshadows PRIMARY COLORS' primary weakness, however: the familiar storyline echoing his growing frustration with the arcane process of selecting a national leader from men who may be our best and brightest but are all too human. It...

NSE Nifty has posted its biggest loss in 2014 yet there are few companies which have managed to beat the index by a huge margin.

The interest coverage ratio of the company is fantastic at 122.44 while it has practically no debt to equity ratio. Additionally, the profitability of the company is consistently increasing by Rs 500 crores but relatively is failing at the EPS front. Have a look at the stock chart given above.
ITC, the leading company in the FMCG segment has provided returns of nearly 3.75% compared to the negative returns of the Nifty. The stock price of the company has shot from its low of Rs 316 to Rs 350. Investor confidence was restored after it was mentioned in the Union budget that tax levied on tobacco products and cigarettes will increase in the range of 11% - 72%. Recently the company touched its lowest point to Rs 316 but recovered within a fortnight to Rs 344. Even at this price the company is trading at PE ratio of 31.35x times compared to the sector's PE ratio of 33.44x times.
