::: 20 Ways To Win A Singing Competition :::
(Updated Oct 04, 2004 07:34 AM)
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy .
'Raj, there is no need to be so nervous! The duet was fine, wasn't it?' My friends just didn't understand my situation. I had a solo singing competition an hour later, and it was merely the second time I was about to sing in public, the first time being an hour prior to that.'Solo is something different altogether, ' I said, 'in the duet, my faults were masked. Moreover, now there are more seniors seated in the audience. I am going to get ragged by them like hell if I make even a single mistake.'
'Pardesi pardesi jaana nahiiiin .' A senior wailed in a high-pitched nasal voice. These seniors have wierd ways of keeping everyone entertained during breaks between two events. The fellow and his followers who had formed a herd near the last row in the seminar hall went on to croon'Bob the builder, kar ke dikhayenge' much to the amusement of others. Crazy people, why don't they go away and get something to eat during the break? Why do they have to make me even more nervous?
'Take it easy, dude, ' said my friend Rahul, 'Ladki Kyun is not difficult to sing, you'll do fine. Also, you can mimic Saif perfectly, so you can speak those funny dialogues as well.''Well, it's simple, agreed, ' said I, 'but it's not among my favourite songs. I won't be able to sing it from my heart.' My friend shook his head. He was bugged by the fact that I kept talking about the heart all the time, when all he was interested in was well, dot dot dot, you know what .'Arre then sing something that you can sing from your heart, as you call it. Which is your favourite song?' I grinned, 'There are 20 of them .'
Please note: To avoid my list from looking a total RD Burman list, I have endeavoured to select 10 songs from films post-1990, and 10 from the golden era of the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s.
Kya Hua Tera Vaada - Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin
One of Rafi's few pacy numbers, this song may have a racy guitar backup throughout, but is filled with pain; pain, in Majrooh's lyrics, wonderfully expressed by Rafi.
Dil ki tarah se haath mile hain, kaise bhala chootenge kabhi .
Katra Katra - Ijaazat
While admiring Asha Bhosle's mellifluous rendition of of Pancham's zingy melody, one mustn't overlook the lyrical richness this number possesses. Gulzar saab's pennings on how life flows along like drops of water are frankly, quite beyond my linguistic abilities, yet each and every word sounds musical in itself.
Tumne to aakash bichhaya mere nange pairo main zameen hai .
Yeh Vaada Raha - Yeh Vaada Raha
And this isn't about three semi-nude girls gyrating their hips. Kishore, Asha, RD - the combo says it all. A haunting whistle at the beginning followed by Asha's vocals set up this beautiful number.
Main aawaz hoon to tu hai geet mera .
Kya Se Kya Ho Gaya - Guide
Rafi Saab was a master when it came to tragic songs and he brings out the shock, despair and pain in Shailendra's words. The picturization of the song is another high point.
Jaane Jaan - Jawaani Deewani
A typical RD composition full of zany, crazy beats, this number is the ideal duet number. Kishore and Asha combine their voices brilliantly, and Asha's hummings while Kishore sings are the high point of the number.
Tujhse Naaraz(Male) - Masoom
Shock, despair and agony - another sad numer in my list. One wonders why we don't get bittersweet numbers like these anymore. Gulzar's pen continues to arrange stray words to form poetry.
Muskuraye To Muskurane Ke Karz Utaarne Honge, Muskuraye Jo Kabhi To Lagta Hai Jaise Hothon Pe Karz Rakha Hai .
Dil Kya Kare - Julie
Julie was one of those rare albums which contained classic after classic. Kishore Da brings a soft touch to this amazingly romantic number.
Aane Waala Pal - Golmaal
Kishore, RD and Gulzar never cease to amaze me. One of Gulzar's pennings, which is simpler to understand, yet as beautiful as all others, Aane Waala Pal is a wonderfully poignant number.
Aane wala pal jaane wala, ho sake toh is mein zindagi bita do, pal jo yeh jaane wala hai .
Jaaneman Jaaneman - Choti Si Baat
I don't know why this is one of my favourite numbers. It's music is good, but nothing exceptional. Lyrics are beautiful, but there are many numbers which are richer in terms of lyrical beauty. Perhaps its the amazingly honest and cute settings in which the song is set, with reference to the film, as the underdog Palekar keeps dreaming about his desire of his love being reciprocated.
Suniye Kahiye - Baaton Baaton Mein
All I can say is - wow. All atheists are probably unaware of someone called Kishore Kumar. Kishore Da gives a lilting touch to the slow melody of this song.
Sunte, kehte, baaton baaton mein pyar ho jaayega .
Pehla Nasha - Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikander. My all-time favourite song, old or new, English or Hindi has to be Pehla Nasha! It is difficult to describe the beauty this song has. The beautiful lyrics(by Majrooh Sultanpuri) describe the innocence and elation of a first crush and the video is the icing on the cake. When Cupid strikes for the first time, the world seems to pass by in a haze. Others seem to be runing an F-1 race, while the love-struck remain dizzy in their joys, savouring every moment slowly. The slow-motion concept with Aamir snatching a piece of the sky in elation was a piece of genius. Udit Narayan is in top form while the criminally under-used Sadhana Sargam is simply divine. The piano piece at the beginning of the song gives me a strange inexplicable feeling whenever I hear the song. Simply the Cupid of all ballads!
Ik kar doon aasman aur zameen, kaho yaaron kya karoon kya nahin .
Tu Mile, Dil Khile - Criminal.
And here is the kind of song which is simply impossible to describe. Sappy to the core, its mush quotient can only be challenged by'Pehla Nasha'. Apart from the amazing composition and beautiful way in which each instrument is used, what stand out are the vocals. Both Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik display fantastic control while singing on an unusually high pitch.
The Enigma-like vocals create a haunting effect, and my favourite part of the song is after the English dialogues(which are quite akin to a song by The Police), when Alka Yagnik begins singing. Indeevar's lyrics take the cake as each and every line of this number continues to entrance me, with the sheer poetic brilliance on offer.
Chanda tujhe, dekhne ko nikla karta hai . Ainaa bhi, deedar ko, tarsaa karta hai.
Pyaar kabhi marta nahin, hum tum marte hain . Hote hain woh log amar, pyaar jo karte hain
O Humdum - Saathiya
I choose this number over the more soulful melodies from Saathiya purely because this is the only number which can have me shake my two left feet, any time of the day. The beats may be'inspired' but it's Kunal and Shaan's imaginative vocals which are the best feature about this song.
Suno Na - Jhankaar Beats
The hitherto unknown Vishal-Shekhar created magic while composing the music for Jhankaar Beats. Suno Na is brilliantly sung by Shaan. Long in duration and high on melody, this one is a treat.

By: Spacelab Research Staff
Reports have surfaced of contributors to the new Massive Attack album that's shrouded in mystery.
When speaking to the Guardian, Robert "3D" Del Naja said that Damon Albarn (The Good, The Bad And The Queen, Gorillaz, Blur) Horace Andy, Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins), Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star), and Tunde Adebimpe (TV On The Radio) have all made contributions to the album. Other confirmed additions come from Dave Sitek (TV On The Radio) and producer Neil Davidge.
Interweb rumours have suggested that other contributions have been made by Mike Patton, David Bowie, and Patti Smith, but that's unconfirmed at this point.
Massive Attack is said to have recorded over a hundred tracks for their last album, 100th Window; that album was eventually paired down to nine tracks. It was created largely by 3D, without Grant "Daddy G" Marshall taking an active role, which could have had an impact on 100th Window's sound. It was largely described as being cold, hollow and lonely sounding, missing some of the best aspects of Massive Attack's sound.
"I'm here to put the black back into Massive Attack," said Marshall in the same Guardian interview.
At this point, it seems very apparent that Andrew "Mushroom" Vowles has left the band for good and won't be making any contributions this time around.
The band is leaning a bit into political views and assistance on any variety of geopolitcal subjects. They recently showed up in Birmingham and London for the Hoping (Hope and Optimism for Palestinians in the Next Generation) Foundation benefit shows. The organization helps Palestinian refugee children with aid, a need that is not often talked about in American and European quarters of the world. Massive Attack never hesitates to weave a complex but intellectual path through political views, always offering a substantial viewpoint, whether you agree with them or not.
It's been four years since the release of the last album 100th Window, and with Grant Marshall taking more of an active role on Weather Underground, who knows how many potential songs have been worked with. The band has stated that there might be enough material to release two albums in 12 months time. No confirmed release date yet, but anyone who knows Massive Attack is probably used to that by now. This band definitely moves at its own pace, and will not release an album until they feel it's ready.

The GP has the same C2 rim design, 23mm wide by 25mm deep, you'll find throughout the Ardennes lineup. Same anodizing, same machining, same shape, but from a heavier extrusion. The result is a heavier wheel that's more durable, built for all riders, and much easier on the pocketbook. We feel like we're repeating ourselves here, but the simple change of widening the rim to 23mm is a real revolution in design. Making a rim 23mm wide and 25mm deep when most rims are around 19mm wide and 19-23mm deep is a big difference. The reason for the greater width is because of 23mm tires, the minimum tire width you almost always should be using on the road (there are 22mm clinchers; these will work, too). A 23mm rim paired with a 23mm tire changes the tire's footprint. It grips better in a straight line, and it grips better in turns because the tire deforms differently and more evenly. A 23mm tire on a 23mm rim also has lower rolling resistance. HED sent the wheels to Continental Tires for testing. Conti's engineers shrugged their shoulders, figured there was no difference, but put them in the jig and ran the tests anyways. It turned out the 23mm width has 18% less rolling resistance. And because of the smoother tire shape, the transition air makes from the edge of the tread to the sidewall to the rim wall to the end of the rim is smoother, resulting in a more laminar air flow and less aerodynamic drag. Another price savings can be found at the spokes. They're running 18 spokes with aluminum nipples in front and 24 spokes with aluminum nipples in back, but the spokes are now round and straight gauge and made by Pillar. A bit heavier, a bit less aero, but much less expensive. The hubs are straightforward by HED's standards, designed just for the Ardennes wheel application. There's a flangeless front hub, all aluminum and anodized black for radial spokes and a flanged/flangeless rear hub, also anodized black, for radial non-drive and two-cross drive side spokesThe HED Ardennes GP Clincher Wheelset comes with either a Campagnolo-spline cassette body or a Shimano/SRAM-spline body. The wheels come with HED's steel-shafted skewers and rim strips. HED does not recommend this wheelset for anyone weighing over 210lbs.

If you're a PicoScope 6 user, it's easy to keep your software up to date. You can download the latest version, free of charge, from our website at any time. Here are some of the improvements that we've made in version 6.0.16:
Custom colours. Change the trace colours and thicknesses, and colours of other screen elements, for better visibility or to match your documentation. This is controlled from the Tools | Preferences menu.
Per-view axes. You can now display or hide any combination of channels in any view. For example, you can display only channel A on one view and channels A and B on another view. This feature is controlled from the View | Channels menu or by right-clicking on a view.
Save all waveforms as CSV. Now you can save all waveforms on the screen to multiple CSV files with a single command. CSV files can be imported directly into Microsoft Excel and other applications, allowing you to process PicoScope waveforms using your own algorithms.
Advanced measurement options. These new options give you finer control over details such as the configuration of the harmonic detector used for THD measurements, the frequency response of the filter used for frequency-related measurements, and the search band of the peak detector used in spectrum frequency measurements. Again, use the Tools | Preferences menu.
Download the entire waveform memory. PicoScope 6 normally manages the scope's waveform buffer for the fastest possible triggering rate, which limits the record length to just under half of the scope's memory. You can now override this and force PicoScope 6 to save the entire buffer (up to 125 million samples on the PicoScope 5204 scope) to disk. Set the scope to "Single" trigger mode, set the "Number of Samples" control on the toolbar to 200 MS and the timebase to 50 ms/div. The "Properties" sheet will show the number of samples that PicoScope is about to capture. Capture a waveform, select File | Save Current Waveform As, and PicoScope 6 will then save the entire record to disk.
German language support. We are steadily improving the foreign language support in PicoScope 6. You can now select German menus and dialogs, and an online help manual in German will follow soon.
This month we've updated several of our Linux drivers, all of which are available free of charge.
Updated 32-bit and 64-bit Linux drivers for USB Oscilloscopes
Both 32-bit and 64-bit Linux drivers are now available for the PicoScope 2000, 3000 and 5000 Series of USB Oscilloscopes.
The 32-bit version Linux driver RPM has been tested in both 32-bit and 64-bit Fedora 8.0. The 64-bit version RPM has been tested in 64-bit Fedora 8.0.
2000 & 3000 Series, 32-bit: R184.108.40.206.1
2000 & 3000 Series, 64-bit: R184.108.40.206.1 (beta)
5000 Series, 32-bit: R18.104.22.168.3
5000 Series, 64-bit: R220.127.116.11.3 (beta)
Download 32-bit Linux drivers for your scope
Download 64-bit Linux drivers for your scope (beta release)
Updated ADC-16 Linux driver
The ADC-16 Linux driver has been updated for improved operation on both 32-bit and 64-bit Linux operating systems. The driver has been tested in 32-bit and 64-bit Fedora 8.0 operating systems over the full input range of [-2.5 V, +2.5 V] and with all return value types (millivolts, microvolts and ADC counts).
Download the ADC-16 Linux driver
USB TC-08 Linux driver updated to 1.7.2
Version 1.7.2 works in both 32-bit and 64-bit Linux systems and includes a couple of bug fixes. This driver has been tested in 32-bit and 64-bit Fedora 8.0 systems over the full range of temperatures from -100 to +1200 degrees C.
We would like to thank the reader who replied to our "Design an Experiment" challenge last month. We still have a few ultra- compact scopes to give away, so please get in touch with us if you have a good idea for an educational experiment. The new experiments will appear on our website, free of charge to all customers, once we have finished editing them. In the meantime, you can look at the experiments we have already published:
View the Pico library of Science Experiments
At the end of July the ultra-compact PicoScope 2200 scope range (a range that includes the PicoScope 2203, 2204 and 2205) became our best-selling scope range. These scopes have been highly popular ever since their launch in February 2008, thanks to their small size and great value for money. Here are the main features:
They all include a 24-month warranty and, like all Pico scopes and loggers, they come with free software updates and free technical support.
Here is a selection of the questions that have cropped up recently on our support forum.
Q. Can I use multiple USB TC-08s with PicoLog?
A. Yes, you can use up to 20 USB TC-08 thermocouple data loggers, giving you a total of 160 channels. When you configure PicoLog from the File | New Settings menu, remember to tick the "Use multiple converters" box in the Recording dialog. Select the logger type in the Converters dialog, and you will then see a list of all your loggers in the Converter Details dialog. Select all of the converters that you wish to use (Shift-click and Ctrl-click allow you to select multiple items) and they will be listed when you return to the Converters dialog.
Q. Are the outer shields of the BNC inputs connected together on the PicoScope 2203?
A. Yes, as with most oscilloscopes from Pico and elsewhere, the BNC shields are all connected to the instrument's ground. This means that you cannot use these scopes for measurements on floating circuits. To do this, you need a special type of scope with floating inputs, like the PicoScope 3425 4-channel differential scope, or you can use a conventional scope with a differential probesuch as the Pico MI053.

Strictly: You bet it could be the Ender Dobson!
Almost all of the money this week has been for Anita Dobson to get the Strictly Come Dancing boot with William Hill as the bookies continue to count their money following last week's shock eviction. Dobson is odds-on at 4/5 to get the elbow, streets ahead of her next nearest competitors, Robbie Savage at 4/1 and Alex Jones at 9/2.
"Last week's result was a huge shock as we could have seen Russell sticking around for quite a while, however, we envisage this week's outcome will be a lot more straight forward," said Hill's spokesman Joe Crilly. "Almost 80% of all our Strictly elimination bets this week have suggested it could be the Ender the EastEnder."
Strictly Come Dancing
Next Elimination: 4/5 Anita Dobson; 4/1 Robbie Savage; 9/2 Alex Jones; 5/1 Holly Valance; 25/1 Chlsee Healey; 33/1 Jason Donovan; 33/1 Harry Judd
Winner: 11/8 Harry Judd; 9/4 Jason Donovan; 3/1 Chelsee Healey; 12/1 Holly Valance; 20/1 Alex Jones; 20/1 Robbie Savage; 50/1 Anita Dobson

OpenSSL 1.0.0 beta1 published
Although the version number and date might suggest this was an April Fool's joke, it is not. The OpenSSL developers have released version 1.0.0 (beta1) and are looking for users to test it. After more than ten years, this is the first release to have a number 1 at the start of the version number. The developers have in the past been very conservative with their version numbers resulting for example, in recent versions 0.9.8i and 0.9.8k.
The list of modifications and enhancements is, at first sight, extensive, but not ground breaking. For example, it is no longer necessary at the command line to indicate whether a registered algorithm acts as a cipher or a digest; it is sufficient to say just
openssl sha256 example.txt.
The OpenSSL developers tend to prioritise stability and reliability which is probably why OpenSSL is the world's most widely used implementation of SSL/TLS protocol. It offers a number of cryptographic functions and methods for certificate management – even the Conficker C worm uses encryption functions from the OpenSSL library.
There have only been two occasions in the last seven years when major problems have appeared with OpenSSL. In mid 2002 buffer overflows in clients and servers were exploited to break into systems and a year ago there was an error on Debian systems which lead to weak private keys. In the latter case, a faulty patch from Debian was found to be the cause, but in the wake of the problem, many web server operators were compelled to exchange their SSL certificates.

|5 Easy Tips for Relieving Constipation
5 Easy Tips for Relieving Constipation
Let's face it, although not a disease, constipation is a major problem! Your body gives you all the signals that it's time to go to the restroom and poop it out. When you get there, you find yourself in a frustrating predicament where nothing is coming out. You feel bloated, uncomfortable, perhaps even embarrassed, especially if at a party and there is only one bathroom available to a house full of guests. Then, when you finally go, you experience straining, and it hurts! So what do you need to proactively do toward relieving this problem?
If you are suffering from two of the following symptom, you may be experiencing constipation:
- Hard or pellet-like stools at least 25% of the time
- Straining with bowel movements at least 25% of the time
- A feeling that you don't completely empty your bowels at least 25% of the time
- Fewer than 5 bowel movements per week
Is this you? For starters, take a look at the possible culprits which may be causing your constipation: Stress, lack of exercise, artificial sweeteners, consumption of meat in large quantities, over eating, irregular habits of eating, a diet lacking in fiber or fluids, and medication use.
Other probable suspects are certain medical conditions, such as an underactive thyroid http://www.dreddyclinic.com/findinformation/hh/hypothyroidism.php, Irritable Bowel Syndrome http://www.dreddyclinic.com/findinformation/ii/irritablebowelsyndrome.php, diabetes http://www.dreddyclinic.com/findinformation/dd/diabetes.php and cancer, among other illnesses.
The good news is, depending on how much you choose to commit yourself to ridding of the toxins in your body, you can potentially get constipation relief fairly quickly. The true test of commitment is when you choose to dedicate yourself to "maintaining" a toxin free, healthier and balanced life with consistent action steps taken over time on a regular basis, developing better eating habits, and an overall better style of living.
5 Easy Tips for Relieving Constipation
When you look at this list of tips, you may find yourself saying "I knew that!" Of course you did. Now, you face the difficult challenge of turning what you know into regular action steps consistently over time, leading to healthy, positive, life-saving results we are all craving for. Also, I find great value in both repetition and healthy reminders from time to time … don't you?
1. Reduce Your Stress
Easier said than done, I'm sure. But isn't everything else? Take time out occasionally and treat yourself to some fun and relaxation. Paint, dance, play music, write poetry, laugh, whatever it is you've always wanted to do and somehow stored your creative passions in your inner treasure chest somewhere. Perhaps, it can be as simple as taking a weekend and just resting, or visiting a friend you haven't seen in over 10 years. You're entitled to your escape. Take it, and add the "oxygen of living life" to your health, instead of stress. Enjoy life because you deserve it, and because you can! What is your choice?
2. Eat Plenty of High Fiber Foods
By increasing your intake of foods high in fiber, you will greatly reduce your chances of developing any symptoms of constipation http://www.dreddyclinic.com/findinformation/cc/constipation/constipation_1.php, as well as prevent many other colon-related health problems. Below is a list of high fiber foods you should add to your diet. Eat plenty of these foods throughout your day. If possible, always buy organic fruits and vegetables.
- Bran Cereals – High fiber cereals are a great addition to your diet and a healthful way to start your day. Usually low in preservatives and sugars, bran cereals are a great source of dietary fiber.
- Beans, Peas & Legumes – Low in both fat and cholesterol, beans and legumes are high in fiber and protein. They make for a great substitute for meat.
- Broccoli – Very high in fiber and an excellent natural antibiotic, broccoli has also demonstrated some cancer-fighting potential.
- Dried Fruit – When dried organically, dried fruit keeps much of the nutritional properties of the raw variety. Dried figs, prunes, and apricots are great intestinal movers.
- Raw Nuts & Seeds – Raw almonds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, hazelnuts, and chestnuts lead the way as the best choices, because they are high in fiber, protein, vitamin E and calcium. Nuts and seeds are also very filling, so you don't have to eat many before feeling satisfied. Chew thoroughly for easier digestion.
- Cherries – A natural blood stimulant, cherries have been used for centuries to detoxify the kidneys. Cherries also have the anti-cancer compound, ellagic acid, and are very effective at relieving constipation.
- Bananas – High in fiber and a natural bulk-producing agent, bananas are great for promoting easy digestion.
- Apples – The high pectin levels in apples stimulate the bowels and also provide bulk for bowel movements. One of the best natural laxative http://www.dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=33724 foods is organic apple cider vinegar http://www.dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=32987. Just pour a small amount into a glass of purified water and drink it in the morning.
- Carrots – A rich source of Beta-Carotene, carrots are natural body detoxifiers. Also high in pectin, carrots add bulk to stool and can stimulate bowel contractions.
- Green Vegetables – Leafy green vegetables like spinach, kale, and turnip greens are very high in vitamins and minerals.
- Cinnamon – Cinnamon stimulates intestinal peristalsis (the wave-like contractions) and also triggers the release of bile for digestion.
Other natural foods for relieving constipation: tamarind, dates, prunes, coconut, and Brussels sprouts. Fresh berries http://dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=33344 such as strawberries, raspberries and blackberries are also great at relieving constipation.
3. Avoid Constipating Foods and Drinks
Constipating foods and drinks include white flour http://dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=32824, cheese, fried and fatty foods, sweets, salt, beef, pasteurized milk, all junk food, carbonated drinks, caffeine, and alcohol, just to name a few.
4. Drink Eight Glasses of Water a Day
Now where have you heard that one before, right! Water is vital to your body, and makes up approximately 80 percent of your body weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues. Water will also help moisten the intestines, so that the bowels will move easily.
5. Exercise Regularly
Implementing a regular exercise routine into your schedule will nourish your blood and oxygenate your system. Exercise does not have to be a rigorous work out! Here is the best part – exercise is cost friendly, and will also help reduce your stress. You can start with walking three times a week for 30 minutes per walk. Does that sound like a plan you can work into your weekly schedule? Imagine, 90 minutes of walking a week for starters, will impact your health positively for the long run, when done consistently and regularly over time. Exercise is one of the best ways to get quick constipation relief!

The Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador is being asked to rule on whether Bill 29 puts the price of office supplies bought by Memorial University off-limits — a case that could set a precedent limiting what citizens are permitted to know about how their tax dollars are spent.
The provincial government won't say whether Bill 29 was meant to do that.
Steve Kent — the minister in charge of the Office of Public Engagement, which oversees the law — stressed to CBC Investigates that the matter remains before the courts.
None of the parties involved in the pending case about MUN are speaking publicly.
But court filings outline the genesis and nature of the dispute — a dispute that could have far-reaching impacts on the public's right to know.
Bid for MUN business
In 2011, Dicks and Company lost the Memorial office supplies contract to Staples Advantage, the business-to-business division of Staples.
According to Dicks' court filings, the winner of the bid for contracted items also got all "non-contracted" purchases from the university, which accounted in the past for much more business.
Dicks alleges that Staples was providing contract items at a financial loss and making up for the difference through higher prices on those "far more lucrative" non-contract items. Those allegations have not been proven in court.
Because of these concerns, Dicks wanted to get the pricing information for all items MUN was buying from Staples, contract and non-contract.
MUN said no, citing a part of the law amended by Bill 29 to strengthen protections over business information.
Dicks appealed to the information commissioner, who recommended the prices be released.
MUN agreed to do so. But Staples then went to court to stop that from happening.
In a court application seeking to deny the information's release, Staples specifically cited the "business interests" section of the law changed by Bill 29.
"Releasing Staples' pricing information would allow our competitors to understanding [sic] our exact price point on the products we sell," Stan Dabic, a Staples Advantage vice-president, wrote in an Oct. 23, 2012, letter to MUN.
"Competitors could create a database of Staples' pricing, and then lower their prices just enough to undercut Staples (as opposed to offering their best price.) Competitors would use this information to their advantage to bid on future contracts and would be given an unfair advantage to win future business. In particular, competitors could use this information to undercut the current pricing provided to Memorial University, resulting in a loss of sales to Staples."
Dicks and Company disagrees with that rationale in its court filings. The company acknowledges that it has a financial interest in the matter, but also stresses the importance of accountability.
"Dicks' greater interest in this dispute, however, is the consequences which will flow from the disclosure of this information, namely, the potential uncovering of unfair or unaccountable office supply purchasing by Memorial from Staples," its court filings note.
"If, as suspected by Dicks, Staples is ousting its competition in contract bids with under-market prices in order to later charge higher prices on 'non-contract' items, the sought-after information will be essential to confirm its suspicions. The disclosure of this information would presumably cause Memorial to adapt its office supplies tendering procedures, giving Dicks a fair chance at a successful bid for the contract and the $525,000 of business opportunities that would result."
Watchdog recommends disclosure
In a June 2013 report, Newfoundland and Labrador information commissioner Ed Ring recommended that the pricing information be disclosed.
"As one of its main purposes, access to information legislation is meant to promote accountability and transparency," Ring wrote in his report.
"Public bodies are spending public funds and the public should be able to know how those funds are being spent. The public should be able to 'check up on' a public body to ensure public funds are spent in a fiscally responsible manner. This is how public bodies are made accountable."
Ring's report noted that: "if the actual prices that are being paid by the public body are not in line with prices set out in a bid then there is a problem — one which may never come to light if the actual purchases of a public body are shielded from disclosure."
He said the revised law is not meant to conceal the prices of goods and services bought by public bodies.
"Asking a public body to disclose how much it pays for the goods and services purchased from a third party simply fulfills the accountability purpose of the [law]," Ring wrote.
"Prior to Bill 29, this type of information was available and it should still be available post-Bill 29."
'You always have to strike a balance'
Steve Kent, the minister in charge of the province's Office of Public Engagement, declined to address whether this is information the public has the right to know, or information that should be protected.
"You always have to strike a balance between the two," Kent said.
"This current matter that we're discussing is a matter that's before the courts right now. So I can't comment on the specifics of the case that is before the courts. What I can tell you is that as a government, we want to see as much information released as possible, wherever possible."
Kent says a pending review of Bill 29 will provide a broad look at perceived issues with the law.
"We also are conducting this review process to ensure that if there are any concerns with the legislation, that those concerns can be addressed," Kent said.
Before Bill 29, there was a tough three-part test that had to be met before business information was considered off-limits.
Bill 29 reduced that to a simple one-part test, significantly lowering the threshold.
"The intention was to provide better protection for commercially-sensitive information," Kent noted.
The province retains the right to change the law, whatever the court decides.
Bill 29 overturned a prior court decision that went against the government.
Attorney General Felix Collins defended that option when he rolled out Bill 29 nearly two years ago.
"Government's prerogative is to make laws," he said when questioned by reporters in June 2012.
"Governments make laws."
Bill 29 review promised
The Tory administration has taken a public hammering over perceptions of excessive secrecy related to Bill 29.
Last month, Premier Tom Marshall announced that a scheduled review of the legislation would be moved forward, due to public concerns.
"I've heard from people who have not necessarily talked to me about specific parts of the legislation, but who have indicated to me that there's a concern that the government is not as open, as transparent, as it should be," Marshall told reporters.
"We take that very seriously and we want to correct it."

Thread: Three Rules for Good Jiu-Jitsu
10/08/2008 11:22pm, #1
Three Rules for Good Jiu-Jitsu
Three Rules for Good Jiu-Jitsu
Eduardo has three rules for good jiu-jitsu:
- Train hard.
- Eat right.
- Sleep well.
Let's assume you have quality instruction already. (If you don't, you've got other issues). You can fuss over the details: what and how to study, gi or no-gi, drilling versus sparring, top game or bottom first, basic versus advanced and so on into infinity. But whatever combination of those you choose, you can't get away from needing to put in serious, focused time on the mat and racking up training hours. That's a no-brainer, yet people still miss it while searching for the secret easy path to success.
Diet is always important but especially when you're an athlete (and that's what you've become if you're training hard). Nutrition is well researched and there's a wealth of information out there. I'll leave it to you to find what's right for your body.
The importance of sleep is easy to overlook (which is why I asked if you're getting enough). Your body needs time to rest and recover after working out. But there's also a mental aspect that you may not be aware of but that scientists are learning more about. The superb radio program Radiolab (iTunes) did a show on sleep that you should listen to. It explains the topic better than I can. Scientific American Mind also has good articles and podcasts on sleep and its effects on learning:
- Sleep on It: How Snoozing Makes You Smarter
- Slumber Reruns: As We Sleep, Our Brains Rehash the Day
- Multiple Studies Confirm Importance of Good Sleep
- Rest Assured: The Brain Practices the Day's Lessons as We Sleep

IMO alot of the nutrition information from that link reeks of vegetarian/hippie propaganda. If it's necessary I can gather up some studies proving wrong the bits of pseudoscience about fasting, sugar, meat, "toxic chemicals," etc. or really something from just about every section there. IMO his intentions are good but alot of the information is just so off base (or at least so vague) that it nearly ruins the point of promoting healthy living.
10/09/2008 12:34am, #3Originally Posted by Knave
Yeah, there's a lot wrong with this. Not just the aforementioned biases, either. I don't think the guy who wrote it actually knows much about nutrition.
Aside from that, though, sweet post.
10/09/2008 12:36am, #4
Yeah, I'm gonna pull that from the post. There's better info out there. Knave, you should put together that info and post it on his blog.

I asked a guy from another forum who knows more about it than I do to give some input. A few points he made:
Two things to note:
1.) "...only a truth that resonates with me" doesn't make sense. Something is either true or it is not.
2.) Foods to avoid are listed as "Excessive Quantities of ___________". By definition, excessive quantities of anything are bad; otherwise, they wouldn't be "excessive".
Meat "requiring a lot of energy to digest" would mean a greater thermic effect, which entails an increase in metabolic rates. This is not a bad thing if it were true, but the fact is that meats are far more digestible than certain vegetable proteins, the likes of which are only partly usable for fuel.
"Beef is highly digestible- in fact, 97% of beef is digestible, in comparison to 89% of flour and 65% of most vegetables. However, many people equate digestibility with the length of time a food remains in the stomach. Beef and other protein foods remain in the stomach longer than fruits and vegetables- and consequently provide a feeling of fullness for a longer period of time."
As for dairy products: any foods high in protein will withdraw calcium from bones to regulate the pH in the blood. That's an evening-out effect - not a bad thing. The compensation is the protein and Vitamin D maintaining proper acid-alkaline balances in the body.
He goes on to say, "Raw, unsalted nuts provide an excellent source of protein", when high-protein foods raise acidity levels, which contradicts his point about dairy products.
Also, advocating against eating big because of performance issues and then condoning a fast doesn't seem to cohere. You're not going to be in an athletic state after fasting, something that lasts much longer than the time it would take to digest a satiating meal.
Even though the utahbeef link is decent as far as citing their sources, I'd like to dig up something that comes off as having less of a bias. I may have some time over the weekend to get some more links or to pester the guy for more links. Actually I told him to come here and give some input, but he says he has an old expired BS account and something about not being able to activate it and not wanting to make a new email just to start a new account etc. I don't know.
A minor note to add to his comments: The nutritional information given in the blog says to avoid sugars like fructose and glucose (which are both found in large quantities in fruit) and yet advocates eating alot of fruit.
10/10/2008 10:45am, #6
You may find something of value in this thread.
Also, "in large quantities in fruit" is relative - USDA NND says a large apple (09003, edible portion 223g) has 4.62g sucrose, 5.42g glucose, and 13.16g fructose.
That's not really very much at all, at least not relative to the weight of the apple or the fiber content (5.4g).

Right, but compared to its total calories (and thus energy) it's substantial IMO compared to the total calories of foods he doesn't suggest such as meat and carbs.

The Beauty Looks from Mad Men You Need To See Again
The first part of Mad Men's final season premiered last night, bringing with it the beginning of the (very sad) end of the cult series. Over the last seven years, we've enjoyed a visual feast of '60s beauty every Sunday night. From Joan Harris' sexy cat eyes, to Betty Draper's pursed matte lips, the show nailed the time period perfectly. To celebrate the series, let's take a trip down memory lane with a handful of the best beauty looks over the years.
Click through our slideshow for the best beauty looks from the first six seasons of Mad Men.
Whether you love her or hate her, chances are you have a pretty strong opinion about Draper—which is exactly what we assume the writers wanted when they crafted this powerful female lead. Draper often accentuates her pearls and pretty ensembles with matte pink lips, brushed-out retro curls, and plenty of sass.

Quick--think of an exciting and inspiring automaker.
[LATEST GALLERY: Day 1 at the Detroit Auto Show]
Ferrari might come to mind. BMW. Maybe even Volkswagen or Mazda, which make sporty, affordable sprinters. But you probably wouldn't think of Chevrolet, or parent company General Motors, who are better known more for workmanlike, everyman vehicles.
The 2014 Chevy Corvette, which debuted recently at the Detroit auto show, is meant to change that. The Corvette has been part of the Chevy lineup since 1953, in six iterations that have all become classics in one way or another. The last update to the car came in 2005, and GM has been through a lot since then: Bankruptcy and a government bailout. Radical liposuction that shrank the sprawling automaker from eight brands to four. A halting emergence from bankruptcy as "government motors," an epithet popular among critics of the GM bailout.
Four years after the automaker imploded, 2013 is looking like the year GM may finally start to regain some luster. The U.S. Treasury, which still owns about one-third of GM shares as part of the 2009 bailout, plans to unload that stake over the next year or so, ending the government's involvement with the automaker and, GM hopes, the stigma that has come with it. Meanwhile, a drought of new models caused by bankruptcy reorganization will end this year, with GM introducing nearly a dozen new vehicles, including its all-important pickup trucks. "GM's brands need strengthening," says Tom Libby of Polk Automotive. "It needs to happen this year."
The new Corvette, which will go on sale in late summer, is the kind of buzz-generator GM desperately needs. In a good year, GM might sell just 25,000 Corvettes--compared with total 2012 U.S. sales for Chevrolet of 1.85 million--yet the two-seater is a "halo car" that draws buyers to Chevy showrooms and brings some panache to what is otherwise a middling brand. "It's highly respected by performance-oriented drivers," says Libby. "That helps Chevrolet and GM both."
[RELATED: Taxpayers Lose Big on the GM Bailout]
The new 2014 Corvette, known as the C7 to insiders, will arrive with a roar meant to get the attention of GM doubters. The company says the base model will be the fastest ever, with a 450-horsepower V8 engine that blasts the car from zero to 60 in less than four seconds and also gets 30 MPG on the highway. The design is futuristic and exotic, like a cartoonish Ferrari. GM says a much-improved interior ought to eliminate the biggest source of gripes about the outgoing Corvette. It has even designated the new model the Stingray, a name evoking the best of the Corvette heritage, last used in 1976.
The 2014 Corvette, however, needs to do more than simply move fast and look cool. "GM needs to go after younger buyers without alienating older ones," says Karl Brauer, CEO of Totalcarscore.com. The average age of a Chevy buyer is 52, according to Polk, which is higher than other mainstream brands such as Volkswagon, Honda, Nissan, Jeep and Toyota. The average customer for GM's Cadillac and Buick brands is even older.
The new Corvette's edgy looks are meant to evoke something from a Transformers movie or a video game, Brauer suggests. That's a sop to younger buyers, whether or not they have the fifty grand or so a starter Corvette may cost. The Stingray designation, meanwhile, is a throwback intended to entice baby boomers who grew up dreaming of the legendary 'Vettes--and who are more likely to have the wallet for such a car.
[RELATED: If the Chevy Volt Is Such a Flop, Why Are Competitors Copying it?]
There's a suite of new technology on the Corvette meant to signal that GM is capable of pulling off some engineering magic. The driver can customize the Corvette's performance by selecting from 12 "attributes" preferred in the car. The manual transmission that's available is an unusual 7-speed, similar to one offered by Porsche. And it comes with a feature called "active rev matching" that mimics the heel-and-toe shifting technique race-car drivers use to keep RPMs in the optimal zone.
If GM had one final wish, it would be that the 2014 Corvette makes more people thankful that America's biggest automaker is still around. The Corvette has long been the poor-man's Porsche, offering genuine track performance for many thousands less than the hottest racers from Europe. Had GM disappeared in 2009, there would be no new Corvette. Driving purists may grow fonder of "government motors" after all.

Hungary and the Habsburgs, l765-1800
Eva H. Balazs, one of the foremost living authorities on eighteenth century Central Europe, examines a crucial period in the co-existence of the Austrian hereditary provinces and Hungary. In a Europe torn by wars and revolutions, in the last third of the eighteenth century, political, economic and personal factors interwined to determine the fortunes of the Austrian rulers and the subjects of the Hungarian crown who collaborated with them in a subordinated status. Rejecting commonplaces of the centre-periphery approach, the author argues that the Habsburg monarchy was a 'centre' whose reforms in this period inspired all subsequent movements for reform in Eastern and Central Europe.
Professor Balazs's skill in combining great wealth of archival material -- not only from Austria, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, but (unprecedented in this field) also from France, gives the reader a near-contemporary proximity to the figures and developments discussed.

The guy geeks behind Justin.tv, the San Francisco startup that has created an online television reality show starring founder Justin Kan, who wears a camera that's on 24/7, are finding out what can happen when you let the entire world into your living room (and bedroom and bathroom and…). The upshot: online viewers like to play, too. And, last week, they played pranks.
Last Wednesday around 1 a.m., someone called the San Francisco police to report a stabbing in the North Beach apartment that is home to Justin.tv. Police arrived, guns drawn, to find a bunch of geeks hunched over laptops, a humorous sitcom moment that played out for hundreds of viewers.
It struck us as a bit less funny when someone reported an apartment fire, drawing fire trucks to the scene. In the future, 911 calls will require a confirmation call before emergency services are dispatched.
Of course, those of us sworn to secrecy in the months prior to Justin.tv's week-ago launch know that Justin had another run-in with the law, including a long, bewildering night spent touring San Francisco on the "drunk bus" that ended with several hours of strange footage piped out of the police department's evidence room, where the camera was stowed until Justin's release.
Note to cops: Make sure the camera's turned off next time.

Jordan Valley..(Photo by: Wikimedia Commons)
Analysis: Can Israel annex the Jordan Valley under international law?
By YONAH JEREMY BOB
The question of what international law would say if Israel annexed the Jordan Valley can be considered quite hypothetical.
The question of what international law would say if Israel annexed the Jordan Valley can be considered quite hypothetical.
The chances are that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will not permit this to happen on his watch, certainly not as long as he is at least trying to work with the US on the Iran and Palestinian issues.
Still, with Sunday's Ministerial Committee approval of annexing the Jordan Valley, however symbolic and nonbinding the vote was as compared to a Knesset vote, the issue is much less theoretical than it had been.
It is easier to view the issue from the perspective of past annexations, such as the 1981 Golan Heights Law which extended Israeli law to the area (though it did not formally use the word "annex").
Formally, most legal commentators agree that international law does not recognize Israel's annexations of the Golan and consider it "occupied."
The two main reasons are the general principle that territory after a conflict can be newly acquired only through a peace treaty, and UN Security Council Resolution 497, which said that Israel's actions to change the Golan's status were "null and void with no effect."
However, there are commentators who counter that until recent history, no one disputed acquiring territory through winning a war, and that even more recently, some recognize a right to acquire territory in war where the other side was the aggressor.
While whether Israel or Egypt was the initial aggressor in the 1967 War is hotly debated, there is even more nuance to the debate regarding Syria and Jordan, since initially Israel attacked only Egypt.
These commentators buttress Israel's claim to the Golan Heights with reference to the San Remo Declaration of 1920 as including the area within the British Mandate and interpreting UN Resolution 242's reference to "secure and recognized boundaries" to give Israel the right to somewhat alter the Green Line (which would not have included the Golan in Israel) to ensure its security.
Essentially, all of the above arguments, both for and against, can be made regarding the Jordan Valley, with two wrinkles.
Those supporting annexation might try to argue that at worst, Jordan, like Syria, attacked Israel first in 1967, but at best, the Jordan Valley was part of the Israeli-Palestinian disputed areas in which, unlike the Golan which had been under Syrian sovereignty, there really was no prior sovereign Palestinian country in control of the territory, to which it would now have to be returned.
Unlike the Golan, the Jordan Valley can be said to be part of the Oslo process (in which it was categorized as Area C, remaining under Israeli control at least until later negotiation stages) and its successor talks.
This means that those against annexation may be able to argue that Israel is prohibited by Oslo from acquiring or annexing it outside of negotiations (whereas to date there are no even interim agreements with Syria).
Ultimately, the ministerial vote may merely have been a stunt to strengthen Netanyahu's insistence on keeping Israeli troops in the Jordan Valley even if Israel grants sovereignty to the Palestinians, but should Israel follow through on annexation, international legal opposition and nonrecognition would be nearly unanimous.

In fact, Rep. Mike Honda employed the exact prevent defense most believed he would use against Khanna. Honda likely scored the biggest line of the night at the most opportune time. After Khanna asserted Honda had lost the vigor and vision from early in his congressional career--a common refrain throughout this campaign by Khanna--moderator Raj Matthai then asked Honda, point-blank, whether he was "burnt out?"
Honda said he drives a Prius and added, "I'm not burned out. I have a lot of gas in the tank and I'm not even a hybrid."
The sound bite will likely act as the lead-in for news stories and undercuts Khanna's repeated platform criticizing Honda as losing a step.
Although, Khanna started slow, his confidence ramped up significantly with a question regarding campaign ethics allegations against Honda's campaign. However, Khanna did not return to the increasingly hot-button issue later in the debate.
Khanna also made no bones about his willingness to work with House Republicans. In addition, he twice mentioned moderate Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell and often referenced the backing of the Bay Area News Group's moderate to conservative editorial board being in his favor.
As it stands, Khanna has a month to make the argument for change in the 17th District. However, it's the argument the campaign hasn't been able to pin down for over a year.
7:46 Closing: KHANNA "is the american dream going to be alive for the next generation." We have Congress that is broken."
"These things wrerent supposed to be lifetime estates." I ask us to join our campaign for change."
Khanna with a very emotional closing.
HONDA Does not thank Khanna for attending debate.
7:43 Last Question: Congress' low approval rating. HONDA says view is based on all parts of Congress--Dems and Rep. But most people think they're rep is doing a good job. Polling actually suggests this odd phenomenon.
Honda says he used telephone, online town halls to move forward.
KHANNA says he's knocked on 5,000 doors. "He has become part of the problem." "People want to hit reset."
"They want someone who is going to work as hard as they are."
7:35 Khanna may be feeling like time is running out. His last response was like the end of a fireworks show when a barrage is lit and fired.
7:31 Are you burnt out? Matthai asks Khanna: "I'm not burned out. I have a lot of gas in the tank and I'm not even a hybrid."
7:28 With about 30 minutes to go, time is running out for Khanna. He's done well, but he still needs a knockout. Just running even with the incumbent is not good enough.
7:23 Khanna again says how much he admires Honda, but adds, "You're handlers aren't letting you do town halls. I've done more town halls than he in his last term."
Great use by Khanna of portraying Honda has once great, but now less so.
7:20 Khanna says public schools are failing us. Want every kids in the district to have advantages he had.
Honda: Not every school is failing. Problem is 50 states with 50 different standards.
7:15 Tax inversions: Is it un-American? Honda says he's against tax evasion, of course.
Khanna says companies HQ "I will stand up to any tech company that does that."
When pressed. "I wish people knew my story more." Innovators supports him, special interests support Honda, says Khanna.
7:12 Members of Congress are part of the 1%, says Khanna, with all the benefits they enjoy.
Honda giggles about 1% knock.
7;10 Forget Honda pinning Khanna as a non-progressive, Khanna seems willing to go there himself.
7:02 Minimum wage: HONDA help push to raise min wage in San Jose. Federal wage up to $10.10. Needs more to help young adults to pay for college.
Says forgive loans if students go into public service. Incentivize publc service
Khanna: supports min wage. Index it to inflation. "Can congress have the same standards as us," says Khanna. Says Honda has missed 466 votes in his career. "People need someone who is present, engaged."
Honda: I have 95% voting record. "I've gotten results."
6:55 Ethics violations. "Are you an ethical congressman?" asks Matthai.
Honda calls it "a personnel matter." My expectation goes above the legal minimum, he adds.
On his chief of statff: "She has apologized that this won't happen again."
Honda says the legal complaints need to move forward and he will cooperate.
Khanna "Nobody is perfect." Not personal to Honda's integrity. go to dysfunction in American politics."
"It's exactly what's wrong with the political process."
"I hope the congressman would apologize," said Khanna
6:53 Khanna brings up Honda's boast of money again for BART extension. "He's relying on something that doesn't exist--earmarks." Khanna used the same line during the May 2014 forum.
6:50 Khanna attacks Honda's lack of progress in passing bills in Congress. Notes nearby freshman Rep, Eric Swalwell has passed two bills this year. Rep. Anna Eshoo has seven.
6:46 Through three questions, Honda is holding serve so far.
6:43 3rd Question: To KHANNA Pell grants. Says he would increase Pell grants. "I'm still paying off student loans," says Khanna. Have student interest rates that are same as the banks, he says. Push for more online courses to limit time in school and price.
HONDA "I did fight for Pell grant increases."
Calls for change to bankruptcy laws for student loans.
6:40 2nd Question: To HONDA immigration reform. Current House-backed plan is working. "Not the bill he would have written," said Honda, but still good.
First step: get it passed, legal citizenship for undocumented. calls for shorter path to citizenship for undocumented students. "They've done enough.
Khanna "I share the congressman's values." But, notes do-nothing Congress. "I would work with Republicans," said Khanna. Do it piece-meal and "get something done."
If you work with GOP on immigration, you'll get nothing, asks panelist.
6:39 Honda running through bringing home federal money for BART extensions.
Honda, conversely, looks calm.
6:36pm First question from moderator Raj Matthai: To KHANNA How can you serve rich and poor in CA17. Khanna; "It's the question of our times."
Khanna looks nervous, but that's expected. "Imagine if we had a new standard? Imagine if our elected officials were as hard working as the people in this district."
Khanna says factories are high-tech and have changed. Even taxi driver needs to know programming.
6:31pm Note: tonight's debate between Rep. Mike Honda and Ro Khanna is pre-empting Extra! and Access Hollywood and that's a good thing.
6:30pm Tune in to tonight's debate on KNTV, channel 11. Live tweeting starts now.

It's not by far the best tool (if such a holy grail even exists of course), since it has some make like notations in it still ($(<) and $(>) to name but two). But I like the abstraction between the rules you create in your build files and how you can keep the top level build files relatively clean. Yes, you can do the same with make (take the bsd.prog.mk abstraction for example), although it quickly becomes cluttered. >But how much of this cleverness needs to be done by run-time >calculation? Using a different *.mk file for different invocations >isn't the naughty thing I was talking about, unless your makefile >recurses using both of them at different times, or loops, or ... Mmm. Depends on how you define run-time with a build tool. A build tool will almost always (what else is its purpose if it doesn't) generate new files from existing files. You could of course split a build tool's execution in two phases, first a dependency/target calculation phase, followed by the real build phase, which doesn't need to do any fancy 'run-time calculations'. >Agreed. Although I bemoan the amount of non-declarative stuff in the >typical usage of make these days, because I don't think it's all >justified, I would also feel quite straightjacketted if I couldn't use >it when I thought it was justified. Well, one of the things that bit me is the fact that you have to do weird hacks to just get the toplevel dir assigned to a variable to make everything relative. >What would be nice is a way to do all the fancy stuff up front, and >produce a declarative description of what needs to be done. >Unfortunately, the easiest way to work out what make would do is to >get make to do it. > >I don't like all the GNU autocrap stuff, which supposedly does some of >what I want, at least partly because the resulting Makefiles are still >not fully declarative. Hmm, I don't like auto* much myself, and I have done way too much of that for various programs.

Not sure how many of you get ACM's Queue magazine, but in the latest issue there's an interview with Smalltalk's designer and how we describes the state of languages is quite right. Instead of progressing on and on, we're actually moving backwards with our appreciation and use of languages like smalltalk (which he himself considers outdated by now). Of all the languages I have used/learnt in recent years Python is the one that impresses me the most in terms of how quickly you can get stuff working without resorting to the mess that Perl in general seems to invite people to make of it. I need to try Ruby more nowadays as well. For C I envision (as part of the TenDRA work I am doing) that we need to make a move towards compilation detection of typical programming constructs that lead to problems. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai(at)wxs.nl> / asmodai / kita no mono Free Tibet! http://www.savetibet.org/ | http://ashemedai.deviantart.com/ http://www.tendra.org/ | http://www.in-nomine.org/ Nothing is ever as it appears.

traffic stops after that
WordPress.com is an easy way to start blogging. Get a blog, check out our features, read the latest announcements, choose from great themes, or learn about the team behind it.
Need help? Check out our Support site, then
traffic stops after that
We are currently experiencing issues with the theme Redoable Lite. Our developers are actively investigating this issue and should have it resolved soon. In the meantime, if you wish to do so you can change to another theme:
Have already changed, but want my redoable lite back
I'm also having the same problem. talbothill.wordpress.com
Same issue here and same theme!
I've been looking for an alternative for about 3 hours now to no avail as Redoable Lite is really one of the easiest themes to work with. It's "old" but my readers have been accustomed to this theme already and has been my "signature" look for many years now. I hope WordPress does not "kill" this theme.
The pages work fine but the posts only appear on mobile themes.
the same problem here with the same theme ... all posts gone=not visible
my blog is gone lost stolen ..ok yeah im in panic mode
hey, did we all say stuff about Syria Russia or China? hmmmm
Since eight hours my blog is down. I'am waiting for a fast solution....
My blog content also disappeared and I use redoable lite theme too.
I also had a spike in traffic.
Please note that no one's posts are "gone." They just are not appearing properly in this theme.
While we understand that many of you like this particular theme, in the short run it may be better to switch to a different theme so that people can see your posts. You should be able to return back to Redoable Lite once the issue has been fixed.
Changing themes seems like a good option. However, none of the customization (ie. sidebar items or header ) shows. Is there a way to copy the customization?
I did change Themes ... I like it
changed to parament and looks good.
yes, after changing themes my posts are back and if redoable lite comes back I might change back too .
My posts have also disappeared :-( http://maanmama.wordpress.com/
change your theme .... just temp or if redoable is not coming back ..but changing the theme works ... I had to customize it again
Me too! my blog posts do not appear on the page. the right hand bar is there as well as the logo at the top, but the posts do not appear. If you use the left or right arrows to go to another post they still don't appear. They do show as published in Dashboard. Please Help!
Excuse me for saying so, but many of us have invested heavily (in many ways) in our websites. This represents almost four years of almost-daily toil for me. My readership has come to depend on my blog.
Why has WordPress customer service been so cavalier in informing us there is a problem and keeping us informed of developments?
I have heard something of volunteers, etc., offered as an excuse. But this does not seem acceptable to me. I would pay any reasonable fee to not be put on the back-burner.
Shouldn't we ask for more???
Thanks to the WordPress guys for fixing this glitch - my blog now back to normal with Redoable Lite theme :-)
Redoable Lite is now working again. If you changed your theme, you can change it back (or you can keep your new one!). If your site does show the update, be sure to clear your browser cache or restart your browser:
I apologize greatly for any inconvenience and stress the theme malfunction may have caused, and I appreciate your patience as our team worked on a fix.
Thank you!
@jackiedana Thanks! You guys are the best.
Any word on what was up with the weird traffic spikes that some of us reported?
Thank you VERY much, really appreciate you getting this fixed.
You're all welcome. :)
Site stats would not have been related to this issue, unless they dropped because your site wasn't functioning normally.
If you're having issues with your site other than the Redoable theme issue, please let us know in a separate thread.
Thanks, as well, for fixing this problem. However, my questions about WordPress' customer service still stand.
Why, for example, was customer service so quick to suggest changing themes without informing us of the one similar theme or that there would be conversion problems? I, for one, would have appreciated more guidance about the pros and cons of switching versus just waiting for a fix.
@dandailey, as soon as we became aware of the problem, we had people working on a fix, and I did my best to keep you all updated and reassured. We did not expect the problem to persist for long, so we didn't offer additional solutions. Some people found alternate themes they liked, some waited it out.
In the future, if something like this happens again, feel free to ask more questions, as I suggested in your own thread.
I meant nothing personal by the questions, and believe me, I greatly value the WordPress service. But I am an old man and accustomed like so many people of my generation, to more hand-holding than WordPress provides. Regardless of the ages of your customers, I imagine that the anxiety at losing one's data was intensified by the WordPress practice of letting your users fend for themselves.
I'm sure today was a bad one for you, too, and I thank you for your service.
Just wanted everyone to know that I started another thread for anyone who also experienced a weird traffic spike during yesterday's outage.

Board of Visitors Approves Biennium Budget Request
Posted: September 27, 2001 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
As expected, George Mason's Board of Visitors unanimously endorsed the university's biennium budget request to the governor at its first regular meeting of the year yesterday. If approved in its entirety, this budget will eliminate George Mason's base budget adequacy problem ($25 million), put the institution in a much stronger position to meet its anticipated enrollment growth over the coming years ($4.5 million), and enable it to launch a range of academic initiatives ($5.4 million).
In other action, the BOV approved Ph.D. programs in bioinformatics and biosciences, and an M.S. degree program in social work. It also agreed to a status change for the program in social work to a department.
In response to a gift from BOV member Sid Dewberry and his wife, Reva, the board renamed the Johnson Center Multipurpose Room to Sid and Reva Dewberry Hall.
Dorothy Gray was elected secretary.

Minimizing/Maximizingby Tsitshoh (Login tsitshoh)
I think your over-emphasis on the success of the Festival belies the fact that some 82% of respondents in our straw poll believe that the mulit-million dollar successful endeavour can also be replicated elsewhere. It is a straw poll mind you, but the message is loud and clear don't you think?

One of the topics I scarcely thought I'd be touching upon when I first became a contributor to this site and concentrated largely upon SJR-7, the down-but-not-yet-out "proposal to amend the Indiana Constitution to screw up marriage and other rights," is the subject of immigration.
Nonetheless, as I listened to the news this morning and read some items about the late Jerry Falwell, suddenly I was struck with a fundamental (no pun intended) contradiction in the way the far right, including its large evangelical component, deals with their hated term "amnesty".
On the one hand, what appears to be a compromise that will allow undocumented aliens to stay in the U.S. under certain conditions is widely denounced as terribly unfair to people who have obeyed the law, waited their turn and jumped through all the hoops. On the other hand, most of the same folks are quick to say that even the most hardened sinner, in his last minutes, can have all the Keys to the Kingdom just by accepting Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. No questions asked by St. Peter at the Gates whatsoever.
Never mind all of the other righteous folks who all their lives have done all the right things. Even they can lose their souls in a last heartbeat if they do something like thinking gays and lesbians are people, too, or put a bit less than 10% of their income in the Sunday collection plate. "The Last Shall Be First".....it says so in Scripture somewhere.
Unless, of course, if you are Mexican and crawled under that big Southern Fence for a better life working for an employeer who isn't quite going by the rules either. I guess amesty is in the eye of the beholder. Some might call it a contradiction.....I suggest "hypocrisy".

Hundreds of university students studying the Balinese language (Basa Bali) demonstrated before the Bali Provincial House of Representatives on Monday, April 1, 2013, in an aspirational protest sending their demand to Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in letters attached to balloons.
The protestors studying to become Balinese language teachers used the unique method of sending letters to the President tied to balloons to demand that the Balinese language be retained in the educational curriculum.
As reported by Kompas.com, the student also sent similar message addressed to Bali's Governor, the Minister of Education, the Chairman of the National House of Representatives and other officials.
The protests followed an announcement by the central government that the Balinese language would be removed from the academic curriculum for 2013 as a course of formal language study, but relegated to a lower status and included in the curriculum for art and culture.

Comeback Kid
"Comeback Kid" (or "CBK" for short) is a hardcore punk band from Winnipeg, Canada. The band was formed in late 2000 by Andrew Neufeld and Jeremy Hiebert, members of the band Figure Four, as well as their friends Scott Wade and Kyle Profetta, originally as a side project. Their initial popularity was mainly caused by word of mouth within the metalcore/hardcore scene. The band released Turn It Around on Facedown Records in 2003 before moving to Smallman Records in Canada and Victory Records in the rest of the world the following year. Their affiliation with Facedown Records and Figure Four led many to believe that they are a Christian band, but they have gone on record to say that not all of their members are Christian.
Comeback Kid
The song "Lorelei" was originally suppose to be released under Figure Fours upcoming record "Suffering The Loss", This song became a Comeback Kid song due to the fact that the album wasn't long enough.

Michel Bastos looks set to sign a new contract instead of joining Italian giants Juventus this summer.
Paired with the Old Lady for over a year, Bastos was thought to again be a target for the Bianconeri this summer.
Talks between the two clubs have taken place, but the French outfit's €15m valuation of the Brazilian is considered as too steep by the Italians.
With no move on the horizon, L'Equipe claim that the 28-year-old will sign an extension with his present club.
The Brazilian international, a left-sided midfielder, is currently tied to Lyon until June 2013.
"Nothing will distract me," stated Bastos. "I'm working hard to help the team. If I stay then I know I will have an important role.
"I'm psychologically ready."

"Why do you want to run for City Council?"
If you follow elections in America you will be familiar with many hot button phrases. "Change," "cut the budget," "reduce spending," "reign in government," and "out of control" are some examples. I would like to introduce a couple of new ones.
Good Job
These are two phrases that should be heard more often. Especially to everyday citizens who make the investment of their time and money to pursue local office. We need to recognize those in our community who serve us for very little reward. Often times, the only reward is ridicule from the people that elected them.
Thank you for giving us a city budget that has been reduced by fifteen percent in the last two years. We need to keep this proactive form of management. Preparation for the loss in sales tax revenue as well as our current national economy is a must. Local government must always be good stewards of their citizen's money; if I am elected I will maintain this fiscal responsibility.
Thank you for increasing our quality of life. Mandated by voters last year, the council and administration moved swiftly to develop and implement a plan for Soldotna Memorial Park. Soon the city residents will have a beautiful park in which to memorialize our loved ones. Soldotna Community Playground is up and running with support of the council, many volunteers and donors, and some serious hard work from some dedicated mothers. Construction has begun to improve Soldotna Creek Park; a needed improvement for better access and parking. Soldotna is competing with communities locally and across the state for new business and new residents. We should not be nave to the fact that the quality of life a city provides is a major factor in these decisions. My family chose to live in Soldotna primarily for that reason. Investing in these projects is an investment in our future.
Thank you for the foresight to Envision Soldotna in the year 2030. Any successful business or organization will tell you that part of their success is having a plan for the future that everyone is working towards together. Our city is no different. Without a plan of what we want our city to look and feel like in twenty years we would grow and develop with no sense of community or consistency. We must always keep in mind the decisions we make today will affect residents for generations to come. With that in mind we must make sure our laws and regulations promote business development, encourage new residents to move in, and always keeping the small and welcoming feel to the city. I believe this plan is very good step in that direction.
I believe our city is on the right path. That is the main reason I am running for City Council. We must continue to manage our resident's money wisely and effectively by keeping sales tax and the mil rate at reasonable levels. We do this by keeping the city efficient, prioritizing our spending needs, and critically evaluating each spending request. I think the current administration and council have shown a pattern of doing this. I will continue this behavior at every opportunity. There will always be room for improvement in our city. For example, parking laws require excessive parking for businesses in the city. This puts a burden on business to build and maintain larger parking lots than needed. Building these parking lots requires the natural vegetation to be destroyed, lessening the beautification of our city, and remove natural filter for the Kenai River. We can fix this, and I plan on it. I would like to see Soldotna become more of a convention center destination. We have the lodging capacity with local businesses and the Sports Center can provide the needed display and meeting space. With successful marketing and execution, I believe we can set the groundwork for Soldotna to have its own convention center. Bringing much needed off season revenue to the local economy.
Soldotna is a great city and is headed in the right direction; I want to keep it that way. I have been to many council meetings and have informed myself on all the relevant issues. I am the best choice for Seat E to keep Soldotna on its path of success and growth. As for Peter Micciche, Nels Anderson, Brenda Hartman, Dale Bagley, Peggy Mullen, Ed Sleater, and Shea Hutchings: Thanks and Good Job
