British supermarket chain Asda says very low levels of the horse pain-killing drug phenylbutazone, also known as bute, had been found in horsemeat discovered in tins of corned beef.
Britain's Food Standards Agency (FSA) said the level of the drug, which is banned from entering the human food chain, posed a low risk to human health, as results showed it contained 4 parts per billion.
Asda, the British arm of the U.S. retailing giant Wal-Mart, said the drug had been found in tins of its Smart Price Corned Beef, which had tested positive for horsemeat DNA in March and was removed from its selves.
"Although there is a very low health risk, we are recalling this product," it said. The FSA said people who still had the affected corned beef should not eat it but return the tins for a refund.
Bute, a commonly used medicine in horses, can be harmful to humans in very high concentrations.
"Animals treated with bute should not enter the food chain as the drug may pose a risk to human health," the FSA said.
"However, even if people have eaten products which contain contaminated horsemeat, the risk of damage to health is very low."
Europe's horsemeat scandal erupted in January, when testing in Ireland revealed that some beef products also contained equine DNA.
In February, the French farm minister said meat from three horse carcasses contaminated with bute had entered the human food chain in France but added there was no public health risk.
The affected carcasses were from horses slaughtered in Britain which had been exported to France.

A group of urban planners and architects will descend upon Rio Vista over four days next month to examine the Delta hamlet's resources and challenges and provide growth, planning, transportation and economic development guidance for the future.
The upcoming visit makes Rio Vista the first East Bay city to receive help from the American Institute of Architect's Communities by Design program based in Washington, D.C. As one of a few cities nationwide selected for the Regional Urban Design Assistance Team project this year, Rio Vista will host the team of land use experts, transportation planners, urban designers, planning directors, historic preservationists, architects and economic development resources from Feb. 27 to March 3.
"We would like to see Highway 12 upgraded. Our waterfront needs development, and our downtown needs revitalization. They will put together an achievable project for Rio Vista," said MaryEllen Lamothe, RioVision Steering Committee member. "It benefits everybody. There is no place to go but up and forward. It has been stagnant for awhile."
Since community input is an integral part of the process and this is a grass-roots effort, Rio Vista residents are encouraged to attend a Feb. 28 town hall meeting at 6 p.m. in the D.H. White School auditorium. Residents will be asked for their honest feedback on the future development of their community, according to RioVision Steering Committee leader Dave Falk.
"Members of the community who haven't been involved in the past are getting involved," he said. "We need a broad range of citizens to give input on what should be done."
Lamothe noted that the visit costs between $35,000 and $40,000 for the team's trip expenses, but the community has been supportive with the donation of meals and lodging for the team members. All of the team members are working pro-bono on this intensive study.
"The community has really rallied around it," Lamothe said. "So many people are so supportive."
The team of planners and architects will focus its efforts on the primary concerns of Rio Vista and work in a downtown work space. Architectural students from Sacramento's Cosumnes River College will help by producing detailed plans of the project findings.
"It is not going to require a lot of city resources. It is going to use a lot of community resources," Falk said. "There is a follow-up plan, and they come back and monitor us in the next year. They aren't just going to do this and walk away as planners. They are going to help implement it and be part of the solution."
Falk added that some of the suggested changes may take place in a few years, while others may take more than 20 years to come to fruition. Funding sources will be identified and could include federal grants and redevelopment funding.
In the past, the steering committee visited communities like Healdsburg, where the process was completed about 20 years ago. It was those results that convinced them that the intensive study could help Rio Vista.
"They (Healdsburg leaders) were able to walk us through what actually happened and the difference in how Healdsburg was and how it is today," Falk said. "They (R/UDAT) come from a national organization, and they have done this in other cities and been successful."

John 'Mac' MacFarland, who wrote the recommendation, knew fellow soldier Santiago Jesse Erevia's bravery in Vietnam deserved the highest honor. But something stood in the way.
Using an ammo crate as a chair and an Army tent as his office, Pfc. John "Mac" MacFarland set up his typewriter and began to write.
It was the sweltering summer of 1969, about a month after the fierce battle of Tam Ky in South Vietnam. MacFarland had been ordered to write a recommendation nominating Spc. 4 Santiago Jesse Erevia for the Medal of Honor, and he tried to put into words how Erevia's "conspicuous gallantry" had saved so many fellow soldiers.
"Although Erevia could have taken cover with the rest of the group," MacFarland wrote, "he realized that action must be taken immediately if they were able to be relieved from the precarious situation they were now in."
MacFarland, a 23-year-old college student who had been drafted, spent weeks working on the nomination, sure that Erevia, a 23-year-old high school dropout who had enlisted, would be awarded the medal. MacFarland sent the recommendation up the chain of command.
"And then I never heard another thing," MacFarland recalled decades later.
Erevia knew that he had been nominated, and though admitting initial disappointment that he did not receive the Medal of Honor, he went home to Texas and never dwelt on it.
MacFarland did.
Over the decades, he searched lists of Medal of Honor recipients, looking for Erevia's name. Again and again, he dug out his mimeographed copy of the recommendation, fearing he had failed to capture Erevia's extraordinary heroism.
"I found myself … wondering how I could have done a better job," MacFarland said.
He thought of writing Erevia to say he was sorry the recommendation fell short. But he never wrote.
"This became one of the ghosts that haunted me," MacFarland said.
It wasn't until this year, 45 years after the battle, that MacFarland would learn the disturbing truth — the real reason Erevia had been denied the nation's highest military honor.
They arrived at Company C with different backgrounds and under different circumstances.
Erevia was born in Nordheim, Texas, and had dropped out in 10th grade. He enlisted in the Army at 22 after working as a cook and soda deliveryman.
"I thought maybe I could better myself," he said.
MacFarland was a college engineering student in Pennsylvania. He was drafted and was prepared to serve. "As an Eagle Scout, my duty to my country was clear to me and had been since I became a Boy Scout at the age of 11," he said.
Erevia doesn't remember MacFarland. But they were together on May 21, 1969, in the fight for Tam Ky, south of Da Nang.
Company C had taken shelter behind a stone wall, under fire from North Vietnamese troops dug in on a hill at the other end of a dry rice paddy. The North Vietnamese were holed up in heavily camouflaged spider holes and bunkers.
This became one of the ghosts that haunted me."
— John "Mac" MacFarland
As MacFarland noted in the recommendation, about 4 p.m. their unit was ordered to "move out and engage the enemy." The aim, he recalled, was to take pressure off other companies so they could evacuate their dead and wounded.
MacFarland joined other soldiers in going over the wall, firing his rifle as he stepped into the rice paddy. When another soldier fell wounded, MacFarland rushed to his aid.
Erevia came over to MacFarland and the wounded soldier and asked whether they had any extra ammunition. The wounded man handed Erevia his M-16 rifle, magazines of ammunition and several hand grenades.
"It was the last that I saw Jesse until much later that evening," MacFarland said.
Erevia, who was serving as the radio-telephone operator, made it across the rice paddy, which was as long as a football field. As Erevia and other soldiers remained under heavy fire, he and a friend, Spc. Patrick Diehl, took cover behind a tree.
Erevia chokes up talking about that day. "I asked Diehl, 'Do you see anything?' He never answered."
Diehl had been fatally shot in the head.
Erevia decided he needed to act. "It was either do or die," he recalled in a recent interview. "I said, 'Well, if I'm going to die, I might as well die fighting.'"
Erevia ran toward one of the bunkers and threw in a grenade, killing the soldier inside. He moved to a second bunker, bullets still flying around him, and tossed another grenade to knock it out too.
As MacFarland would later write about Erevia: "After reloading his rifles, he advanced toward the third bunker behind the suppressive fire emitted from his weapons." Once again, he took out the bunker with grenades.
After exhausting his supply of grenades, Erevia headed for a fourth bunker while firing two rifles. He killed a North Vietnamese soldier at point-blank range.
"Our company commander, Capt. David Gibson, along with his radio-telephone operators and medic and several wounded had been pinned down and were receiving intense fire from several enemy positions," MacFarland recalled. Without Erevia, "it is doubtful that they would have survived the day."
Shortly after the battle, MacFarland was assigned to serve as battalion awards clerk. Using information provided by others, he wrote the Medal of Honor recommendation, got it signed by the battalion's commanding officer and forwarded it to 101st Airborne Division headquarters.
After it was sent back for more information, Erevia's company commander and platoon leader provided eyewitness accounts and a map of the battle. MacFarland ran off several copies on a mimeograph machine, keeping one for himself.
The next year, 1970, Erevia and MacFarland left Vietnam and went their separate ways.
I said, 'Well, if I'm going to die, I might as well die fighting.'"
— Santiago Jesse Erevia
Erevia became a mail carrier, retiring in 2002 after working 32 years for the Postal Service. He lives in San Antonio with his wife, Leticia. He has four adult children, including a son who served in the Iraq war.
MacFarland went on to become a high school environmental science and biology teacher. Also retired, he is a bachelor living in Aston, a Philadelphia suburb. The two men, now 68, have had no contact since leaving Vietnam.
Though denied the Medal of Honor, Erevia was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the decoration created during World War I and the nation's second-highest military honor for heroism. The citation quoted language written by MacFarland.
MacFarland kept his copy of Erevia's recommendation in a binder with photos and other Vietnam memorabilia. He shared his distress about Erevia and the Medal of Honor with Army buddies. They assured him that it wasn't his fault and that the military probably decided against the Medal of Honor because, unlike many medal recipients, Erevia wasn't wounded in the battle.
Still, MacFarland said, "I was not convinced that it was not as a result of my inadequacy as a writer."
The Medal of Honor has been awarded to more than 3,400 recipients since it was established during the Civil War. Of those, 74 are living, according to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. The medal is bestowed "only to the bravest of the brave," according to the Army.
Unbeknown to MacFarland or Erevia, Congress in a 2002 defense bill ordered a Pentagon review to determine whether discrimination prevented Jewish and Latino veterans from receiving the medal. The Pentagon examined the records of more than 6,000 Distinguished Service Cross recipients to determine whether the award should be upgraded.
Last summer, Erevia was surprised to receive a telephone call from a military officer who told him to expect a call from somebody at the White House. A few days later, he was called again and told to stay close to the phone.
When the call came, a woman announced that the president of the United States was on the line. "It was a short conversation," Erevia said. "He said that I deserved the Medal of Honor. He said that, for some reason, I was overlooked, but that he was making it right. I said, 'Thank you very much, sir.'"
The Pentagon has not released its Medal of Honor review, but in February the White House announced that to correct a historic injustice, the Medal of Honor would be awarded to 24 veterans from World War II, Korea and Vietnam. They include Erevia and 16 other Latinos, one African American and a Jew.
Erevia is one of three surviving veterans who will receive the medal next week. He is honored, Erevia said, even if the wait lasted decades.
"I'm just glad I'm getting it while I'm alive," he said.
MacFarland heard the news from an Army friend. "I can't describe how great that made me feel," he said.
He hadn't failed after all, and there is a good chance that when the citation is read Tuesday at the White House ceremony, it will include lines MacFarland composed in that tent long ago.
Since the announcement, Erevia has received a lot of attention, including letters from strangers praising his valor.
One letter stood out.
It was from MacFarland. He congratulated Erevia and shared with him the "heavy burden" that he carried around all these years.
"It made me cry," Erevia said.
The two may finally meet again at a Company C reunion this year.

We recommend any graphics card that fully supports OpenGL 1.5 or higher and has at least 64 MB of video memory. If you're going to create large models, we recommend a graphics card with more than 64 MB of video memory.
OpenGL is a set of instructions for how your computer's graphics components work with the rest of your computer and your software. OpenGL is particularly important for 3D programs like SketchUp, as well as 2D graphics programs. If the graphics card manufacturer supports the standard OpenGL instructions well, then your 3D and 2D programs will work well.
We've seen good results when SketchUp is run with most of the graphics cards recently released by NVIDIA and ATI.
For older graphics cards and cards from other manufacturers, it is important to update to the latest graphics driver for your graphics card. For more information about how to update a graphics driver, click here.
Some graphics cards are designed primarily for games and don't fully support the OpenGL standard. Other graphics cards are designed to support only more simple graphics (this can be the case with the graphics capabilities in some notebooks and budget computers). Cards like these may not support 3D programs like SketchUp very well. If you have updated to the latest graphics driver and you are still having problems using SketchUp, you may need to upgrade your computer's graphics capabilities.
PC Note: One way to test whether your graphics card is supporting OpenGL fully, the way a 3D program like SketchUp requires, is to disable hardware acceleration. This takes the graphics card out of the equation so that graphics are fully handled by the software and the operating system. Normally, you shouldn't do this because it typically causes a slow down in graphics performance, but it can help you troubleshoot an issue. To disable hardware acceleration:
- In SketchUp open the "Window" menu.
- Click "Preferences."
- Click "OpenGL."
- Clear the "Use hardware acceleration" option.

Editor's Note: Granted, we usually want to see illustrations with Readers' Tech Tips, but the first tip below gets the point across without them.
Loose Screws
Before attempting to unscrew those rusted or corroded Phillips head screws on your race car, airplane, or boat, fill the cross slots with valve grinding compound. Then press hard on the screwdriver and turn. You will be pleasantly surprised at the ease with which those screws can be removed. This will also work on some of the screws that have been partially stripped.

Yank That Yoke
When disassembling junkyard Ford centersections for cleaning or gear replacement purposes, the input yoke can sometimes be rather stubborn. One simple solution is to use a harmonic balancer puller on the yoke. Use the inline puller holes with the diagonal yoke holes. The puller bolts will normally work with the nuts from the yoke U-bolts. Center the puller over the pinion shaft to eliminate binding. An impact wrench can be used on the puller to further aid in pulling off the yoke.

Stop The Spill
I have a tech tip that might make clean up after an oil change less messy and possibly less environmentally hazardous. Put used oil filters in a 16-ounce coffee can (or one of similar size). It slides right in and fits like a glove. Seal it with the plastic lid that came with the coffee can. This will make it easy to transport the used filter to the oil disposal site without spilling a drop or soiling your vehicle, tools, garage floor, and so on.

Arcsoft Launches Arcsoft Simhd™, For Upscaling Standard-Definition Files And DVD Videos To Near High-Definition Quality
Utilises NVIDIA CUDA architecture for exceptional video output while maintaining low CPU consumption
FREMONT, CALIFORNIA — APRIL 1, 2009 — ArcSoft, Inc. announced today the retail version of ArcSoft SimHD, a plug-in for ArcSoft TotalMedia™ Theatre, its universal high-definition multimedia player. SimHD is ArcSoft's in-house upscaling technology, which simply brings most standard-definition video to near high-definition quality. SimHD performs this video upscaling work by utilising the NVIDIA® CUDA™ parallel computing architecture to solve complex calculations in a fraction of the time required on a CPU.
"Our newly released upscaling technology, ArcSoft SimHD, is available now in retail to allow viewers to obtain an HD-like viewing experience on the PC from the existing standard DVDs," said George Tang, ArcSoft Vice President and General Manager of Video and Home Entertainment Group. "The partnership with NVIDIA is an important step for us in delivering such an extraordinary experience to users with extremely sufficient power usage."
TotalMedia Theatre takes advantage of the powerful graphics processing unit (GPU) in today's PCs by using the NVIDIA CUDA architecture to provide sufficient power for SimHD's intensive post processing algorithms. NVIDIA GPUs are the only processors that can process these sophisticated algorithms in real time. The application is compatible with millions of NVIDIA GPUs from the GeForce 8 Series onwards, including GeForce® and Quadro® lines.
"What a great way to upgrade your existing library of DVDs! All you need is TotalMedia Theatre and an NVIDIA GeForce GPU, and you can instantly turn your movies into near-HD quality," said Michael Steele, General Manager of Visual Consumer Solutions at NVIDIA. "ArcSoft SimHD is another great example of how GPU computing is changing the world and providing consumers with real value."
TotalMedia Theatre with SimHD technology is currently available as a TotalMedia Theatre plug-in for end users. For more information about the product, please visit //www.arcsoft.com/intouch/simhd_totalmedia3_nvidia.

Quality Education is Unfinished Homework for Latin America, says World Bank's VP for the Region
In conjunction with the Ibero-American Summit this month, Pamela Cox, Vice President for Latin American and Caribbean, emphasizes the urgent need to focus on education quality in a recent op-ed that appeared in major news outlets across the region:
If education were simply a matter of attending classes, Latin America and the Caribbean would have already done its homework. Most regional countries have made enormous progress towards achieving universal access to basic education. There is also clear progress at the secondary and tertiary levels.
But more than access, the key goal of education is learning. Making sure that children and youngsters perform according to the requirements of the day is a necessary condition for the advancement of society. In that respect, the region still has some unfinished business.

The actor is slated to speak at a gala at the Arizona Science Center as a coalition of environmental groups launches a fundraising drive for the project. He also plans to screen "Watershed," a documentary on the river system produced by him and his son, Jamie Redford.
Arizona restaurateur and James Beard Award-winning chef Chris Bianco will prepare a "low-water-use" menu.
Colorado River Campaign director Gary Wockner also will attend. He said if nothing is done to restore the river, it will continue to be "bone-dry and never reach the sea again."
"This is a huge opportunity in river restoration, where the two countries have agreed to do something about this," Wockner said.
Wockner said the Colorado River used to have 2 million acres of wetlands in the delta, which lies in the Gulf of California in Mexico. Organizers are aiming to raise $10 million by 2017. So far, $2 million has been raised. The money would go toward restoration and acquiring water rights from farmers in Mexico, Wockner said.
Francisco Zamora is director for the Colorado River Delta program at the Tucson-based Sonoran Institute, one of the groups behind the fundraiser. He said a little bit of restored water can go a long way in bringing back critical habitats.
"There is hope, we know, because we have been working for more than 10 years, and we have seven to eight years of doing on-the-ground restoration," Zamora said. "We know we can bring back some of those habitats."
Looming shortages are predicted on the river serving some 40 million people in California, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming. Mexico also has a stake.
Earlier this year, federal officials declared that the river already described as the most plumbed and regulated in the world would be unable to meet demands of a growing regional population over the next 50 years.
Jamie Redford says municipalities, agriculturists and consumers can be part of the solution by cutting down their water waste.
"There's so much economic activity, so much going on on that river," he said. "If you take it apart bit by bit, if you get a critical mass going, doing little bit by little bit will all add up. There is so much room for improvement."

Vettel refuses to stamp out Mercedes rumours
The big paddock rumour in Hungary is that Mercedes has made a move to sign Sebastian Vettel.
The speculation was even pushed along by Red Bull's Dr Helmut Marko, who suggested rivals like McLaren and Mercedes have indeed made big-money approaches to the German.
"I don't know which sources Helmut has, or doesn't have, but they seem to vary, let's say," Vettel smiled on Thursday.
But at the same time, the 27-year-old did not issue a categorical denial.
In an interview with F1's official website, he agreed that "sometimes a change can work miracles".
And then Vettel issued a classic diversionary answer.
"I am focused and busy with what we do here," he said in Budapest, "because it is not so easy to make progress."
Like Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton, Vettel is firmly under contract for 2015, but that doesn't mean offers and approaches are not flying about among the sport's top teams and drivers.
"I think any offer has to be considered," Vettel admitted to reporters, "but nothing has changed. I don't talk about these things.
"I am very satisfied in my current team," he is quoted by Der Spiegel. "At the moment, it's not a question."
But, still, an outright denial that he could be seeking a change of scene sounds different.
Vettel was asked, for example, if he thinks the Mercedes star is "sexy".
"At the moment no," he is quoted by Bild newspaper, "because it is constantly in front of us.
"But if stars mean titles, then stars are something great, as a sportsmen should always have the goal to be as high as possible," Vettel added.
He even failed to deny that talks with paddock figures like Mercedes' Toto Wolff or Niki Lauda might be beginning.
"Today, there are many ways to make contact with someone. We all know each other and it's not as though I have an unfamiliar face," said Vettel.
"There's lots of ways to contact someone without everyone knowing," he added.

Ask Matt: Is earnings guidance required?
Regulators don't mandate profit forecasts, but they can be in a company's best interests.
Q: Are companies required to give earnings guidance?
A: Each quarter, investors and the Wall Street analysts that cover them play a game of expectations.
Wall Street analysts are in charge of studying a company's fundamentals and estimating how much the company is going to earn. The process can be tricky because there are so many variables, which also differ from industry to industry.
In order to make things a bit more predictable, some companies provide guidance to investors — including research analysts — about their revenue, cash flow and profits. This earnings guidance is typically included either in the regulatory filing and press release that accompany a company's earnings announcement or, more commonly, discussed on a telephone conference call with investors and analysts on the day quarterly earnings are released.
It's pretty common for companies to give analysts and investors guidance since it's usually in their best interests. If analysts' forecasts get overly optimistic, a high bar for companies to jump over is created. If companies can guide down a bit the expectations of analysts and investors, an easier hurdle to beat is established. Shares of stock often jump when a company reports earnings that exceed expectations.
But by no means are companies required to give guidance. Some companies, such as Internet giant Google and Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway investment vehicle, have long made it a policy not to issue earnings guidance. Companies, too, must be very careful that if they do give guidance on their earnings that it is made available to all investors at the same time, not just to Wall Street institutional investors and research analysts.

Haberek focuses on crimes in Pawcatuck
Stonington — First Selectman Ed Haberek is requesting a meeting with the Board of Police Commissioners next month to discuss the police department's strategy for dealing with crime in downtown Pawcatuck.
"We need to have a meeting to discuss how to change the climate down there," he said Tuesday. "Some of the business owners are concerned about crime. We need to take a collaborative approach down there."
Haberek said that the town already has taken a "vigorous approach" to forcing owners of dilapidated downtown buildings to upgrade their properties.
He said the downtown needs to be safe if the town expects to attract new businesses there, such as a developer who is considering transforming the rundown Campbell Grain property into affordable housing for the elderly.
Haberek's request to appear before the Board of Police Commissioners comes three days after a man went on a vandalism and burglary spree through the downtown that began at McGill Chevrolet and two months after two men broke into several Pawcatuck homes, including one that was occupied.
Chief of Police J. Darren Stewart said Tuesday that police quickly identified the suspects in both cases and made arrests within an hour of the incidents.
Adding to the perception of trouble was a Saturday night incident in which a downtown Pawcatuck man shot and killed himself during a standoff with police on White Rock Road.
McGill Chevrolet owner Sean McGill said Tuesday that for most of the past 25 years, the business was never the target of a burglary. But over the past six months, it has been broken into twice, and cars in his lot have been damaged by two hit-and-run crashes and vandalism. He said he now arrives at work to find beer bottles and vomit in his parking lot.
The situation has forced McGill to take additional measures, such as installing more security cameras, motion-sensitive lights and bars over some windows.
McGill, who commended police for doing a good job, said he will meet next week with Haberek, Stewart, the fire marshal and a neighboring property owner.
"Unfortunate things are happening in the area that haven't happened before. I'm not sure if it's different people in town or the bad economy," he said. "But I work too hard to throw money away every week on people who don't care about what they do."
Monthly police department statistics, though, do not show any trend toward increasing criminal incidents downtown since August.
Stewart said he plans to review the statistics and the department's strategy in preparation for the April 11 Board of Police Commissioners' meeting.
In his letter to the board Tuesday, Haberek wrote, "With the recent incidents that have happened in Pawcatuck during the last several months, I feel it is again time to revisit the approach to addressing situations in Pawcatuck."
Haberek said recent press headlines "do not shed a good light on the outcome of the Pawcatuck approach."
In August 2011, Haberek raised similar concerns with the police commissioners after business owners and residents contacted him.
Haberek asked to be placed on the board's April 11 agenda. He said he also has been invited to attend a Downtown Business Association meeting in Westerly, where Westerly Police Chief Edward St. Clair will discuss his town's approach to policing the adjacent downtown.
Haberek also has asked Stewart to email him Pawcatuck statistics for the last six months.
Stewart said his officers have been doing a great job downtown.
"When we have something going on, we go out and find the people who did it," he said.
Stewart said he also has been talking regularly with St. Clair to discuss their departments' respective efforts and how they can continue to work together.
Stewart said he will continue to look at any concerns that downtown residents have and work to resolve them.

Moustaches Quotes
Estate agents. You can't live with them, you can't live with them. The first sign of these nasty purulent sores appeared round about 1894. With their jangling keys, nasty suits, revolting beards, moustaches and tinted spectacles, estate agents roam the land causing perturbation and despair. If you try and kill them, you're put in prison: if you try and talk to them, you vomit. There's only one thing worse than an estate agent but at least that can be safely lanced, drained and surgically dressed. Estate agents. Love them or loathe them, you'd be mad not to loathe them. - Stephen Fry

In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Quran's View on Hadith & Sunna
The Quran was placed in prophet Muhammad's heart (2:185, 17:1, 44:3, 53:1-8, 97:1) on the 27th night of Ramadan, 13 B.H. (Before Hijra) or 610 A.D. Subsequently the Quran was released to prophet Muhammad's memory with angel Gabriel's mediation over a period of 23 years.
This above verse is repeated numerous times in Sura 54. Contrary towhat is taught by the scholars and others that the Quran is difficult, our Creator and the Author of the Quran states otherwise - "We made the Quran easy to learn. Does any of you wish to learn?"
The Quran has no support of the opinion that Muhammad was illiterate.
The first revelation was "Read," and included the statement "God teaches by means of the pen" (96:1-4), and the second revelation was "The Pen" (68:1). The only function of the pen is to write.
Muslim scholars of the first two centuries after the Quran could not understand the Quran's challenge to produce anything like it. They had no idea about the Quran's mathematical composition (see TRUEFAQ #5). When similar work in literary excellence was produced the Muslim scholars then decided to proclaim Muhammad an illiterate man! They figured that this would make the Quran's extraordinary literary excellence truly miraculous. The word they relied on to bestow illiteracy upon the Prophet was "UMMY." Unfortunately for those "scholars," this word clearly means "Gentile," or one who does not follow any Scripture (Torah, Injeel, or Quran) [see 2:78, 3:20,75, 62:2]; it does NOT mean "illiterate."
The Prophet was a successful merchant. The "Muslim scholars" who fabricated the illiteracy lie forgot that there were no numbers during the Prophet's time; the letters of the alphabet were used as numbers. As a merchant dealing with numbers every day, the Prophet had to know the alphabet, from one to one-thousand.
The Quran tells us that Muhammad wrote down the Quran -Muhammad's contemporaries are quoted as saying, "These are tales from the past that he wrote down. They are being dictated to him day and night" (25:5). You cannot "dictate" to an illiterate person. The Prophet's enemies who accuse him of illiteracy abuse Verse 29:48, which relates specifically to previous scriptures.
When the Prophet died, he left the complete Quran written down with his own hand in the chronological order of revelation, along with specific instructions as to where to place every verse. The divine instructions recorded by the Prophet were designed to put the Quran together into the final format intended for God's Final Testament to the world (75:17). The early Muslims did not get around to putting the Quran together until the time of Khalifa Rashed `Uthmaan. A committee was appointed to carry out this task.
The Quran is God's Final Testament to the world, and He has pledged to protect it from the slightest distortion (15:9). Thus, the Quran is surrounded by invisible forces that guard it and serve it (13:39, 41:42, 42:24).
Unlike any other book, the Quran is taught by God (55:1-2); He teaches us what we need at the time we need it. This is why we read the Quran hundreds of times without getting bored. We can read a novel, for example, only once. But the Quran can be read an infinite number of times, and we derive new and valuable information from it every time.
On the other hand, the insincere readers - those who read the Quran to find fault with it - are diverted from the Quran (7:146, 17:45, 18:57, 41:44). In fact, God's invisible forces help them find the faults they seek. Since the Quran is perfect, such "faults" serve only to reveal the stupidity of God's enemies.
God uses His own attributes to describe the Quran; He calls the Quran " `Azeem = Great" (15:87), "Hakeem = Full of wisdom" (36:2), "Majid = "Glorious" (50:1), and "Karim = Honorable" (56:77). What can we say?
Since the Quran is God's message to all the people, regardless of their language, the Quran is accessible to the believers, regardless of their language (41:44). This explains a profound phenomenon: the believers who do not know Arabic know the Quran better than the Arabic speaking unbelievers. Because of the invisible forces serving the Quran, it is readily and enjoyably accessible to the sincere believers, and utterly inaccessible to the unbelievers (17:45, 18:57, 56:79).
Note: In the above, parts of appendices from Dr. Khalifa's translation have been reproduced.
"The only people who truly believe in our revelations are those who fall prostrate upon hearing them. They glorify and praise their lord, without any arrogance." Quran 32:15
We learn from the following verses of the Quran that the Quran is detailed in religious law. A worshiper of God alone will not seek an outside source for religious LAW.
[6:36] ..We did not leave anything out of this book..
[6:19] Say, 'Whose testimony is the greatest?' Say, 'God's. He is the witness between me and you that this Quran has been inspired to me, to preach to you and whomever it reaches. Indeed, you bear witness that there are other gods beside God.' Say, 'I do not testify as you do; there is only one god, and I disown your idolatry.'
[6:114] Shall I seek other than God as a source of law, when He has revealed this book fully detailed? Those who received the scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt.
[6:115] The word of your Lord is complete in truth and justice. Nothing shall abrogate His words. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient."
[7:52] We have given them a scripture that is fully detailed, with knowledge, guidance, and mercy for the people who believe.
[10:73] This Quran could not possibly be authored by other than God. It confirms all previous messages, and provides a fully detailed scripture. It is infallible; for it comes from the Lord of the universe.
[12:111] In their history, there is a lesson for those who possess intelligence. This is not a fabricated Hadith; this (Quran) confirms all previous scriptures, provides the details of everything, and is a beacon and mercy for those who believe.
[17:46] We place shields around their minds, to prevent them from understanding it, and deafness in their ears. And when you preach you Lord, using the QURAN ALONE, they run away in aversion.
[18:27]You shall recite what is revealed to you of your Lord's scripture. Nothing shall abrogate His words, and you shall not find any other source beside it.
[18:54] We have cited in this Quran every kind of example, but the human being is the most argumentative creature.
[18:109] Say, 'If the ocean were ink for the words of my Lord, the ocean would run out, before the words of my Lord run out, even if we double the ink supply.
[18:110] Say, 'I am no more than a human like you, being inspired that your god is one god. Those who hope to meet their Lord shall work righteousness, and never worship any other god beside his Lord.'
[39:27] We have cited for the people every kind of example in this Quran, that they may take heed.
Both the words Hadith & Sunnah are in the Quran. Both of them refer to God's Sunnah and God's Hadith. There is no such thing as prophet Muhammad's Hadith or prophet Muhammad's Sunnah. Most the Muslims fail to realize that following words other than that of God is defined in the Quran as idolatry (6:19).
[7:185] Have they not looked at the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all the things God has created? Does it ever occur to them that the end of their life may be near? Which hadith, besides this do they believe in?
[31:6] Among the people, there are those who uphold baseless Hadith, and thus divert others from the path of God without knowledge, and take it in vain. These have incurred a shameful retribution.
[39:23] God has revealed herein the best Hadith; a book that is consistent and points out both ways (to heaven and hell). The skins of those who reverence their Lord cringe therefrom, then their skins and their hearts soften up for God's message. Such is God's guidance; he bestows it upon whomever He wills. As for those sent astray by God, nothing can guide them.
[45:6] These are God's revelations that we recite to you truthfully. In which hadith other than God and His revelations do they believe?
[52:34] Let them produce a hadith like this if they are truthful.
[68:44] Therefore, let Me deal with those who reject this Hadith; we will lead them on whence they never perceive."
[77:50] Which Hadith other than this do they uphold?
[17:77] This has been consistently the case with all the messengers that we sent before you, and you will find that our system (Sunnah) never changes.
[33:62] This is GOD's eternal system (Sunnah), and you will find that GOD's system (Sunnah) is unchangeable." 33:62
[48:23] Such is GOD's system (Sunnah) throughout history, and you will find that GOD's system (Sunnah) is unchangeable.
Most Muslims fail to understand the fact that the Hadith and Sunnah DID NOT come out of the prophet's mouth. Hadith and Sunnah are fabrications created by simple minded individuals and the enemies of the prophet, who created stories (fabrications) which allege something took place two hundred years prior to that time. The Quran states clearly that fancy words (hadith/sunnah) are creation of the prophet's ENEMIES.
[6:112] We have permitted the enemies of every prophet - human and jinn devils - to inspire in each other fancy words, in order to deceive. Had your Lord willed, they would not have done it. You shall disregard them and their fabrications.
REASON WHY GOD ALLOWED FABRICATIONS (Hadith/Sunnah for Muslims, Trinity for Christians; and Mishnah/Gemarrah for the Jews).
The fabrications (hadith/sunnah) attributed to the prophet are a test for those who claim to be believers. The worshippers of God alone will discard them while those do not believe in the Hereafter will accept them
[6:113] This is to let the minds of those who do not believe in the Hereafter listen to such fabrications, and accept them, and thus expose their real convictions.

I am a leader of a youth group that has decided to call the name of our group ImPact. I feel like today's youth have neglected the importance of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ so that is the focus and the intension of this project.
The target audience will be the young people of this generation between 12 and 19 years of age. They are a generation that need a sort of eye catching image to be recognized with and be proud of.
The theme of the image is the word ImPact needs to be large and bold. the P in the middle of the word needs to be emphisized maybe even a little larger than the rest of the word. The P makes the impact a Personal one.(Jesus has made a Personal impact on my life.)
I imagine the word ImPact falling and hitting the ground or stone and is pressed into the background leaving pressure fractures.
In the image i only want the leters ImPact and the background. Letters not to be standing up but laying down.
please feel free to use bright collors as the image will be printed on dark
T-shirts, flyers, and our website

Cockroaches always scurry to the dark when discovered. Experts offer this analogy for why we see shifts in drug trafficking when one country or region successfully resists penetration by illegal trafficking networks. After some successes against these networks in Colombia and Mexico, Central America is seeing an increase in crime and violence which sadly inflicts unwanted pain and suffering on the people of the region. Narcotics traffickers seek to subvert or neutralize a country's judicial and security institutions to make the environment more conducive to their criminal activities. The U.S. government's Central America Regional Security Initiative (CARSI) is working to shore up institutions and restore citizen security through programs aimed at improving the police, lawyers, courts and prisons. While change is slow to take hold, we are seeing improvements.
For example, the Department of State launched a program in Lourdes, El Salvador to turn the tide in one of El Salvador's most crime-ridden communities. The goals of the Model Precinct Program include reducing gang-related crime and violence by identifying and implementing regional and international best practices. In 2011, crime in Lourdes dropped by forty percent after two years of mentoring, vetting, training, and equipping police, as well as gang education and prevention programs in schools. Citizens in Lourdes are seeing their personal security improve and are building better relationships with the police helping to bring about change in their communities.
In Panama, we have seen increased police accountability and improved public perceptions of the police due at least in part to our programs. We worked with the Panamanian National Police (PNP) to start Central America's first modern computer statistics program (COMPSTAT). COMPSTAT is a computer program designed to collect and map crime statistics, as well as police responses. This system has increased personal accountability in Panama at all levels of the law enforcement system. This is the latest in a series of INL-supported PNP reforms, leading to a nearly ten percent increase in public opinion of the police since 2008.
The successful work with the police in Panama led to the development of a Regional Police Systems Reform Initiative, which aims to improve police capabilities across Central America. The Initiative focuses on the reform of entire police systems and the injection of modern police philosophies in the areas of Community Policing, COMPSTAT, Internal Affairs, and Police Academies. This program uses a unified team approach with U.S. law enforcement experts and police practitioners from the Colombian and Panamanian National Police forces. Through our collaborative, multi-national approach, we are not only leveraging resources, but also strengthening the long-term sustainability of our collective police reform efforts.
Local programs and ownership are vital to success in crime reduction programs, as evidenced in a number of initiatives throughout the region. In the small country of Belize, for example, the government has implemented a new strategy for public security called "RESTORE Belize" to tackle rising gang crime. This program focuses on community outreach, rehabilitation, and education, as well as a negotiated gang truce in neighborhoods experiencing high-levels of inter-gang violence. INL is working with the community to maintain the truce and to curb enrollment in gangs through the Gang Resistance and Education (GREAT) Program, which is built around school-based, law enforcement officer-instructed classroom curricula. This program has trained 135 police officers as trainers throughout Central America, reached over 10,000 students regionally thus far. The GREAT Program expects to reach 12,000 students in 2012.
The citizens of Central America are demanding safer streets and stronger institutions. INL programs are designed to support their needs and work towards a more secure Central America. Through our joint efforts with local communities, the governments of the region, and outside assistance, we are collaboratively tackling crime one step at a time.

Once again the attitude of the USA global police state raises its ugly head in terms of this totally egotistic, and unrealistic, missive...supporting the mis spent trillions our USA government spends trying to police the world. You are NOT winning the drug war. Get real please...and stop wasting money and insulting our intelligence.
Ramona in Panama writes:
Before the State Department published Mr Brownfield's article on their blog someone from the US should have come to Panama and interviewed Americans living here. They would have found that Panamanian police are not closed to bribes. If they read the Panamanian La Prensa news paper they would have found that things are not as the government would have them believe.

One the above advantages of leasing appointment amplitude as against to purchasing a building, is an simple avenue strategy. If the charter is over, you move out after added obligation. This can be a analytical advantage of a abbreviate appellation lease. Do you accept a appropriate activity that requires animal assets for a year or two? A abbreviate appellation charter is ideal. A start-up aggregation that anticipates above advance and charge for added amplitude in a few years is addition candidate. If you accept a concise lease, if the activity is finished, or accessories outgrown, the amplitude can calmly be acquiesce after abundant cost.
The disadvantage of a abbreviate appellation charter is that no one, neither the freeholder or you, can absolutely acquiesce to accomplish a above investment in the space. Basic improvements to the amplitude are usually amortized over a charter term, so there are actual few landlords that will absolutely body out amplitude for a concise lease. Nevertheless, there are generally "as is" appointment installations, or concise appoint opportunities that are accessible for concise leases. You will apparently accept to seek added absolutely and be beneath ambitious of the final product, to defended them.
The above advantage of a abiding lease, therefore, is the adeptness for either you or the freeholder to advance in a abundant plan letter. With the able acclaim and/or charter accessory (additional security, belletrist of credit, claimed guarantees, etc.), abounding landlords will absolutely build-out custom appointment amplitude for you. This agency you may accept little basic investment in the space. You will be, in effect, borrowing money from the freeholder to advance in your business, which you will be paying aback in the anatomy of hire over the charter term.
Another advantage to best appellation charter is the adeptness to appoint the amplitude if necessary. A charter appellation is a depreciating asset. For example, a "fire-sale" amount may be all-important to appoint for a abbreviate two-term, while a five-year antithesis on the charter would let you be added aggressive in the bazaar place.
So accustomed all of this, what is the appropriate negotiating strategy? I aboriginal attending to the company's needs, and again to the appellation all-important to amortize the investment appropriate for the space. As an example, if you are leasing amplitude for your accumulated headquarters, and don't ahead atomic growth, again you accept a analytic abiding charge for space. I would again attending to accommodate the beeline charter appellation accessible that will still acquiesce the basic improvements that we need. That may a five-year term, but is generally seven. Again I am searching for options to renew, and if possible, to cancel. Options are actual valuable, and the aphorism is to accommodate as best you can, but ultimately yield any advantage that you can get, even if it seems unreasonable. Times change and what is absurd today may be reasonable ten years from now!
We afresh adjourned a below-market charter for appointment amplitude because the addressee was accommodating to do his own architecture and was accustomed abundant up-front hire acknowledgment to do it. The charter appellation was 5 years, with a five-year option. And, a appropriate to abolish the charter on six months notice! The freeholder was accommodating to do this because he had around no investment in space, and if the addressee cancelled, he would accept aback awfully bigger appointment space.
So the name of the bold is flexibility. The appropriate charter appellation for your needs, additional options to renew (and possibly to cancel) gives you a able and adjustable combination.

Friday marked President Obama's second and final day of the G-20 Summit in St. Petersburg. In the morning, President Obama held a bilateral meeting with President Xi of China, building on discussions the two leaders had earlier this year. President Obama said that their "significant progress on a range of issues" including addressing climate change, expanded military-to-military consultations, and growing the economy "gives us an additional opportunity to discuss some of the topics at issue here at the G20." Read full remarks here. The President then attended the second G-20 Working Session before participating in a G-20 family photo in front of the Konstantin Palace. After a working lunch on growth and trade, President Obama held a bilateral meeting with President Hollande of France. President Obama explained he and President Hollande discussed concerns with Iran's nuclear program, as well as the use of chemical weapons in Syria. Both our countries have concluded the same thing, that chemical weapons were used in Syria, that they were used by the Assad regime against civilians, that the chemical weapons ban is a critical international norm, and that it needs to be enforced. Read full remarks here.
Following the G-20, President Obama held a press conference where he discussed a number of issues, including America's financial recovery. "We've put more people back to work, but we've also cleared away the rubble of crisis and laid the foundation for stronger and more durable economic growth," the President said. He then turned to the use of chemical weapons in Syria. "Over 1,400 people were gassed. Over 400 of them were children. This is not something we've fabricated. This is not something that we are using as an excuse for military action. As I said last night, I was elected to end wars, not start them. I've spent the last four and a half years doing everything I can to reduce our reliance on military power as a means of meeting our international obligations and protecting the American people. But what I also know is, is that there are times where we have to make hard choices if we're going to stand up for the things that we care about. And I believe that this is one of those times." Read full remarks here.
Before departing St. Petersburg, the President held a roundtable meeting with a diverse group of civil society leaders. Read full remarks from that meeting here.

How Well did We Forecast 2014?
A year ago, we polled Future Development bloggers for predictions on the coming year (2014). Looking back, we find that many unforeseen (and possibly unforeseeable) events had major economic impact.
We missed the developments in Ukraine and Russia, the spread of the Islamic State in Iraq, the outbreak of Ebola in West Africa, the collapse in oil prices and their attendant effects on economic growth. At the same time, we picked the winner of the soccer World Cup, and got many of the technology trends right. Perhaps economists are better at predicting non-economic events.
Here's the scorecard on the seven predictions made:

The latest lookbook from Rachel Pally captures all the ease and breeze of a sunny, ocean-side weekend. A balanced mix of maxi-skirts, oversized tanks in nautical stripes, and body-con dresses that actually look comfortable (really!) dominate the resort '11 collection. The SoCal designer seems to have one hand in the sea and the other on the street with both aqua-colored Grecian dresses and sexy cutout tops paired with cropped trousers, mostly all made of ribbed and modal jersey that move as fluidly as water. A favorite among celebs and Cali girls alike, Rachel Pally has created a resort collection that is sexy, but not over-the-top, and is as equally polish as it is comfortable—big points in our book!

Republican nominee Donald Trump triggered alarm bells in Europe when he hinted Thursday he might not come to the defense of some NATO members if Russia were to attack.
Trump told The New York Times in a interview published on Thursday he would decide whether the Baltic republics had "fulfilled their obligations to us" in terms of their financial contributions to the alliance.
In a statement to NBC News, NATO's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said he will not interfere in the election, but called for unity.
"Solidarity among Allies is a key value for NATO," Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said. "Two world wars have shown that peace in Europe is also important for the security of the United States."
NATO's treaty states that an attack on one member state constitutes an attack on all. Some analysts saw the remarks as carte blanche for Russia to intimidate NATO allies and a potential harbinger of the alliance's collapse were Trump to be elected.
Estonia's president was among the first to hit back, saying on Twitter that his nation has met its commitments and fought — "with no caveats."

Longreads: China 2013 Survey, Low Carbon Competitiveness, Pakistan's Overseas Workers, the Great Chinua Achebe
Find a good longread on development? Tweet it to @worldbank with the hashtag #longreads.
China's prospects stirred interest as the BRICs met in South Africa and a new survey by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development found China on course to become the world's largest economy by 2016. The OECD study says China has "weathered the global economic and financial crisis of the past five years better than virtually any OECD country" and should be able to continue catching up and improving living standards over the next decade. While the OECD study says China needs to shift to more environmentally friendly modes of consumption and production, a new Climate Institute/GE Low-Carbon Competitiveness Index finds that France, Japan, China, South Korea and the United Kingdom are "currently best positioned to prosper in the global low-carbon economy."
