the orange called blood
There are three types of blood oranges, the Tarocco (native to Italy), the Sanguinello (native to Spain), and the Moro, which is the newest of the three and is grown in San Diego, California. The Tarocco is a medium-sized fruit and is perhaps the sweetest and most flavourful of the three types. However, its internal reddish color is unreliable. The Sanguinello, discovered in Spain in 1929, has a reddish skin, few seeds, and a sweet and tender flesh. The Moro, a recent introduction into the blood orange family, is the most colorful of the three types, with a deep purple flesh and reddish orange rind. This fruit has a sweet flavour with a hint of raspberry. Blood oranges cultivated in the United States are in season from December to March (Texas), and from November to May (California)." (Wikipedia)
I am sad that the blood orange season is ending. So I decided to make one more dessert this season to celebrate this lovely orange. I fell in love with this orange a few years ago because of its juicy, sweet and less acidic interior, as well as its amazingly beautiful colour. But really it is the taste that I have grown fond of, and I think that it is a wonderful orange for desserts. The dessert that I have composed is built around Martha's blood orange gelato. The gelato sits on a pound cake, which includes blood orange zest, and is accompanied by segments of orange and a blood orange jelly. The flavours blended easily to create a casual and comforting ode to the blood orange.
blood orange gelato on blood orange pound cake, blood orange segments and blood orange jelly
blood orange gelato
2 cups whole milk
zest of 1 blood orange
1 cup freshly squeezed blood orange juice
5 large egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream
makes approximately 1 quart
In a medium saucepan, combine milk and orange zest. Bring to a gentle boil, cover, and remove pan from heat. Let steep 30 minutes. In a small saucepan, cook orange juice over medium-low heat until reduced by three-fourths, 30-40 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and let orange syrup cool completely. Combine egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream at medium-high speed until very thick and pale yellow, 3-5 minutes. Return milk to a simmer. Add half of the warm milk to egg-yolk mixture; whisk until blended. Return new mixture to saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat back of a wooden spoon. Have ready an ice-water bath. Remove saucepan from heat; immediately stir in cream. Pass mixture through a sieve set over a medium bowl. Place bowl in ice-water bath; chill. Stir in orange syrup. Freeze in ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Store in an airtight container.

Your chocolate mousse post, while wonderful, is eclipsed by this one. I am a fool for citrus, and this looks astonishingly good. I appreciate the information about blood oranges ... I don't know why but I assumed there was only one kind.
Hey, here's an idea ... Why not make this fabulous dessert three times, using a different variety of blood orange each time? I would very generously offer to help with the taste-testing ...

As always thanks for your comment Tania. I also didn't know that there were three different varieties until I did some research. I think blood oranges are my favourite oranges at the moment. Normally I would say yes to the insane idea of making the dessert three times over, but since they are going out of season, I think we will be hard pressed to find some good blood oranges.

Gothic was a popular medieval calligraphy. It was also called Blackletter for the dark appearance of a written page. The letters are square in shape, and are written at a 45 degree angle.
Click on the photo for a larger image of the Gothic alphabet. Try copying the simpler lowercase letters, then move on to the more elaborate uppercase letters. Make sure to use a 45 degree pen angle.
Try writing your name, squeezing the letters close enough together that you could fit just one pen stroke between them. This technique was used by monks copying manuscripts, in order to save parchment.

Cdvernon needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 182 designs submitted by 24 freelance designers.
I am a brand-new developer looking to target Apple's iPhone App Store. Programming has been a passion of mine for many years and this particular project represents my first attempt to release a commercial application. If I'm successful, I would love to turn this "hobby" into a full-blown career. While my personality is best represented as "comical," my applications tend to be all business, always staying within the confines of Apple's provided UI elements.
The target audience for this project is iPhone users that would be prone to using their phone as a shopping list. In my experience, this group tends to be more on the female side, usually college-age or older. However, as one of the key points of this app is automating something that's fairly manual now, it may appeal to guys... again, probably college-age or older. Given my programming tendencies, a more gender-neutral, business-oriented design would probably work best.
I'm looking for an icon to represent a soon-to-the-market iPhone application. The application is designed to be a type of automated shopping list.
The icon will need to include BOTH of the following elements:
1. An object that represents shopping or a shopping list. I can see that being:
- A shopping cart
- A paper list
- A checkbox with a checkmark in it
I'm not opposed to something different here though.
2. An object that represents automation or a cycle. I can see that being:
- Some kind of "refresh" symbol (to clarify, I mean "refresh" in terms of a web browser's refresh/reload button)
- A recycling symbol
- Some kind of machine
Again, I'm not opposed to something different here though. Also, I tossed around the idea of using lightning to represent the "live" element, but that was generally rejected.
Honestly, the rest of the elements of the design are totally open for creativity. Whether or not you stay close to Apple colors and designs, that's fine by me.
In terms of output, if you can give me a 512x512 image (a.k.a. an "App Store icon"), I will resize it as needed to fit the rest of my project.

Mike Krzyzewski will return as the U.S. men's basketball coach through the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, a person familiar with his decision told USA TODAY Sports on Wednesday.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly until an announcement was made. That is expected on Thursday.
USA Basketball has scheduled a news conference on Thursday at Duke University, where Krzyzewski coaches.
"I think it's great," Miami Heat forward and two-time Olympic gold medalist LeBron James said prior to Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.
"What he means to USA Basketball is beyond just what we do on the court – what we stand for as Americans and being proud to wear the red, white and blue every time we step off the bus, practice, talk to the media or whatever the case may be.
"I've got the utmost respect and trust in Coach K. Whatever his decision was going to be, we all support that."
MADE MAN: Coach K's record salary
NO VIOLATION: Duke cleared in case
Krzyzewski, 66, had adamantly maintained the 2012 London Olympics were his last Olympics as coach. He said the prior to the Olympics, during the Olympics and as recently as February. But USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo remained patient and gave Krzyzewski enough time to reconsider.
The two met last week in Las Vegas, and Colangelo had a good sense then that the Hall of Fame coach would return.
While Krzyzewski said he wasn't returning, Colangelo was never quite so sure, and time turned into Colangelo's biggest ally. Even three weeks after the Olympics at the Basketball Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Springfield, Ill., Colangelo began to sense Krzyzewski might be willing to return.
"He was already having some withdrawal symptoms. So, as I read it, it was just a matter of in due course and in due time, he'll come to a decision," Colangelo told USA TODAY Sports on Monday. "It had to be a decision that was right for him and his family and the university as well as USA Basketball. That's why I've given him all the time he needed."
"What I've said along is, with what he has contributed to the USA Basketball program and what's he accomplished and what he means to it, he was entitled to be given the time to make a final decision. Time has worked to our mutual advantage."
Krzyzewski, who is 62-1 as coach of the men's national team, will also coach the U.S. team at the 2014 FIBA World Cup of Basketball in Spain.
His decision to return has roster implications, too. James and Krzyzewski are close, and James had been non-committal about the 2016 Summer Olympics. But on Wednesday, he indicated he is willing to come back for a shot at a third gold medal.
"It would be great. First, I have to make sure I stay healthy," James said. "If I'm fortunate to be healthy, I would love to represent my country again. But that's a long time from now."

Rich Elliott: UConn's streak of 707 games without consecutive losses truly amazing
WASHINGTON -- UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma is not a numbers guy. He does not get caught up in winning streaks and things like that. He is a day-to-day type of guy, who first and foremost concerns himself with what it takes to make the Huskies the best they can be.
But the numbers have been difficult to ignore since the start of the 1994-95 season, when UConn surged to the upper echelon of the sport. The Huskies have won seven national championships and made 12 Final Four appearances over the previous 18 seasons. They set an NCAA record by winning 90 straight games overall and 99 straight at home. They have also had 16 30-win seasons during this span, including a current run of five straight.
Yet, there is one statistic that is even more mind-boggling. It is one that Auriemma does not even ponder, one that you will not find in any record book and is not widely publicized.
With Wednesday's 75-48 win over Georgetown at McDonough Arena, the Huskies extended their mesmerizing streak without enduring back-to-back losses to 707 games.
"I haven't really given that much thought,'' Auriemma said. "But this particular group, we're trying to learn some things and we're trying to find out some things about what we can do well, what we can't do well, what we're really good at, what we need to get better at. And that's taken up all my thoughts. I really haven't given much thought to the other stuff.''
UConn is 655-52 since losing to Providence 87-73 in the Big East tournament semifinals on March 7, 1993 and to Louisville 74-71 in the first round of the NCAA tournament March 17, 1993. The Huskies have won their last 18 regular-season games following a loss by double figures including nine by at least 30.
How deep does this streak go? Six of the 11 players currently on UConn's roster -- sophomores Brianna Banks, Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and Kiah Stokes and freshmen Moriah Jefferson, Breanna Stewart and Morgan Tuck -- were not yet born the last time this team lost twice in a row.
"That's a really good statistic," UConn senior Kelly Faris said. "Are a lot of people going to focus on it? Probably not. But as long as you're talking about it, it speaks a lot about what Coach has done. The program has a lot of history and Coach knows what to instill in his players. It says a lot about how much they focus on maturity and the mentality of their players.''
The second longest current streak without back-to-back losses is held by No. 4 Duke at 178. The Blue Devils lost three straight games to UConn, Vanderbilt, and Penn State from Nov. 25, 2007 through Dec. 2, 2007.
Providing further evidence of just how remarkable UConn's run of consistency has been, consider the remaining teams that are ranked in the top five this week in The Associated Press national poll. Top-ranked Baylor's streak without back-to-back losses stands at 104 games. Second-ranked Notre Dame is at 88. And No. 4 Stanford is at 83.
"My sophomore year (2009-10), we chased perfection to get to excellence and that's a theme between the coaches and players,'' UConn senior Caroline Doty said. "I think we have a great understanding of it. We take it personally.''
Being such intense competitors, the Huskies do take losing personally. They do not take games off. And their collective approach is the same whether it is a No. 1 versus No. 2 game or they're facing a Division II team.
This is a big reason why UConn has not lost back-to-back games in nearly 20 years.
"It's hard, but it's part of what we have to teach,'' Auriemma said. "You only get X number of games in college. You only get X number of opportunities to play this game. If you're going to decide you're only going to play well against certain teams and not show up for others, you're cheating the game, you're cheating yourself, and you're cheating the program. We don't put up with that.''
Auriemma and the Huskies will not take even a moment to reflect in what it has taken to assemble such a streak. Not now. Not with an eighth national championship out there for the taking.
But once the players move on, and once Auriemma finally steps down, the time for reflection will present itself. Then, and only then, will they be able to appreciate what they have been able to accomplish.
"When it's over and I look back, I'm going to be amazed by some of the things we've done here,'' Auriemma said.

In particular, the AMSAT-UK symposium two weekends ago had a long presentation on P3E. It is supposed to be done by the end of the year. Launch costs are prohibitively high, many millions of euros. However, AMSAT-DL is presenting P3E and P5A as a package to the German national space agency and hopes it might receive funding in that way. P3E would be the test-bed for P5A. I know you are not asking about this specifically, but I thought at the time that it did not get sufficient publicity on the bb, so I'm writing it here. I understand the presentations will be published online once the video is tidied up. The one on P5A is very interesting, as is the one on Delfi N3xt. After the presentation on P5A, I started pricing a dish :-) 73, Bruce VE9QRP

Hope College formally launched its 151st academic year on Sunday, Aug. 26, welcoming the incoming Class of 2016. In the Opening Convocation address, Charlotte vanOyen-Witvliet, who is the John H. and Jeanne M. Jacobson Professor of Psychology, presented "Learning in a Life that Matters."
"What I invite you to think about is your vocation of learning at Hope," vanOyen-Witvliet said, "Not learning to live a life that will matter someday (as if real life begins after graduation), but learning in a life that already matters now." Hope's mission, she said, is established "to support the ongoing discovery of how to live out your vocation as an individual, in community. Learning is the calling of students. Learning is the vocation of our college community."
Approximately 2,000, primarily new students and their families, attended the event, which was held in the college's Richard and Helen DeVos Fieldhouse.
The college has registered more than 900 freshmen this fall, topping last year's record
of 848. The new students moved in on Friday, and returning students began moving
in on Sunday. Fall semester classes start on Tuesday.
The students, vanOyen-Witvliet noted, are joining a community whose dedication to fostering their discernment extends campus-wide.
"Hope is made up of people who get up every day to create the best possible community of learning," she said. "Together, administrators, librarians, cooks, secretaries, trustees, coaches, directors, chaplains, custodians, professors, officers, counselors and many more play their parts in making Hope a learning community that is concerned with your flourishing here and now… and ultimately when all things are made new."
What that means for the students across their years at Hope and how they might themselves focus their experience, she noted, is reflected in an overview from the college titled "Graduates anchored in Hope": "Hope graduates are educated to think about life's most important issues with clarity, wisdom and a deep understanding of foundational commitments of the historic Christian faith. They are prepared to communicate effectively, bridging boundaries that divide human communities. They are agents of hope who live faithfully into their vocations. Hope graduates make a difference in the world."
A key step in the process, vanOyen-Witvliet said, is for the students to think in terms of calling: to discern where needs, faithfulness, talents, and interests intersect.
"Frederick Buechner (in 'Wishful Thinking: A Theological ABC') says that 'The kind of work God usually calls you to is the kind of work (a) that you need most to do and (b) that the world most needs to have done…The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet,'" vanOyen-Witvliet said.
She described six "signposts" that provide clues in discerning calling, a listing shared in the book "The Will of God as a Way of Life" by 1972 Hope graduate Dr. Gerald Sittser, who is a professor of theology at Whitworth University: What motivates you? What are your talents or gifts? What life experiences form you? Opportunity, with its open doors and closed doors. Conversations with a discerning community. And joyful service—Buechner's "deep gladness."
Hope, she noted, would provide numerous opportunities for students to explore how the pieces might fit for them, and even, perhaps, to be surprised by the result.
"Beware, attending classes, conferences, and the Critical Issues Symposium could inspire a new love for history, political science, philosophy, poetry, statistics, piano performance, chemistry, another language, theology or psychology," vanOyen-Witvliet said. "You could realize that you have gifts in areas you hadn't explored before. You might learn about communities you didn't know existed. And, you might see the world's needs. You just might discover a calling you hadn't planned on. It happens."

Hunter Hayes Celebrates His Loyal Fans in 'Somebody's Heartbreak' Video
If you're a Hunter Hayes Hayniac, then you're definitely going to love the young country star's newest music video. Hayes' clip for 'Somebody's Heartbreak' is so fan-centric that you might even spot yourself in it!
Some music videos are all about telling a story -- but the clip for three-time Grammy-nominated Hayes' hit some 'Somebody's Heartbreak' is about the music. From the opening shot, the music video takes viewers behind the scenes of a jam-packed arena where the singer is preparing to play for an excited crowd.
The clip kicks off with a tour bus pulling up to an arena, and several people bustling around a backstage area, setting up equipment. Wearing a comfortable T-shirt and jeans, the country crooner steps up to the mic and starts to soundcheck.
Once things are set up in the venue, Hayes snaps a few photos with fans outside. Later that evening, he goes onstage and the video captures dozens of his fans screaming, cheering and singing along to the music.
Also, since the 'Wanted' hitmaker is an accomplished guitar player, the video boasts a few up-close shots of his guitar solos.
Although the music video trend is to tell big-budget stories, 'Somebody's Heartbreak' is just right: It's all about the fans, the artist and his music.


text: Stanley, I know you said you modified all of the files, but just to review, under 27z-8, you need to modify the file /etc/beowulf/config.boot to add the device and vendor information for the newer e1000 card. So you'll need to add the following line: pci 0x8086 0x100E e1000 In addition, make sure you have a 'bootmodule' entry for "e1000" near the beginning of the file. Next rebuild your node boot floppy and beoboot images and try rebooting. If you've already done all of that (which it sounds like you have), then attached are some directions for building an e1000 driver under Scyld. Hopefully, this solves your problem.

Proposed Canon
First Appearance: LIAB Prologue 18
Patty, along with Maxene and LaVerne, was an Archon once serving under Charlie for Charlescomm, then croaked and decrypted during and after the Battle for Gobwin Knob, respectively.
The three decrypted archons were a part of a force which croaked some of Charlie's units that entered Gobwin Knob battlespace. This event first tipped Charlie off to the significant change in Gobwin Knob's power structure (Wanda Firebaugh's attunement to the Arkenpliers and the resulting ability to decrypt troops, though Charlie would not learn that at the time).
She was ultimately Dusted in the Siege of Spacerock.
Real World References
The names of the three archons are those of the Andrews Sisters, a famous American singing trio.

KDE 4.2: The Wow Factor is Returning
A Major Release With Significant Improvements
Linus Torvalds may have switched too soon from the KDE 4 desktop because of usability problems. Less than a week after he made his off-hand comments, KDE 4.2 has been released, adding many of the customization settings that Torvalds and others complained were lacking in the KDE 4 series.
All users, too, can appreciate the wealth of new applets, such as the Blue Marble Globe or RRSNow. There is even Bball, a red bouncing ball for the desktop that fulfills the apparent obligation for GNU/Linux desktops to have at least one useless widget.
But even these changes -- which easily run into the hundreds, if not thousands -- are usually aimed at letting users work in their own way. And nowhere is this tendency more obvious than in the general desktop options. Although usability began to creep back in with the 4.1 release last summer, with 4.2, concern with usability has become the dominant theme, with new configuration options to FolderView, Krunner, and the various sections of the panel.
KDE 4.2 will likely take some time to trickle down to the stable repositories of many distributions. Meanwhile, you compile it from source, or preview it using the KDE4 Live CD from openSUSE. The first packages, often still in the experimental stage, are also available for Debian, Kubuntu, SUSE, and Magic Linux. Other distributions should follow shortly.
FolderView reaches maturity
The quickest place to see KDE's regained usability is on the desktop. Many users have been puzzled by the introduction of FolderView, worrying that the joke that it was to remove icons from the desktop was actually true. And, in earlier KDE 4 releases, the point of FolderView seems to have been lost on many users. This was true even though its floating window of icons is actually far more versatile and easily changed than traditional icons.
Now, with version 4.2, KDE makes more room for individual preference. If you choose, you can have a traditional desktop with icons by right-clicking on the desktop, then selecting Appearance Settings from the context menu and setting the Desktop Activity Type to FolderView. The result is a transparent FolderView that covers the entire screen except for the panel. If you choose, you still have a floating FolderView, or else maintain several sets of icons for different tasks, choosing between them in Appearance Settings.
Just as important, 4.2 adds increased options for each FolderView. While in earlier KDE 4 releases you could only choose the folder to display and apply filters to set the type of files shown, in 4.2 you can set icon size and arrangement, as well as the preview and text options for each individual FolderView.
Filters, too, are enhanced, with a dialog that allows you to pick file types without having to remember what different extensions mean. With this flexibility and added options, FolderView comes into its own for the first time.
KRunner becomes a desktop command center
KRunner has always been one of the more deceptive features in KDE 4. At first glance, it looks like nothing more than an applet that runs a single command, and then closes -- something moderately useful, but hardly earth shattering, especially if you were a user who shunned the terminal.
However, even in earlier versions of KDE 4, this appearance was deceptive. While you could use KRunner only for entering commands, you could also use it for desktop searches, switching virtual desktops, converting from one measurement unit to another, and viewing or killing active processes owned by the current account.
For those in the know, these features were enough to keep KRunner constantly ready on the desktop. However, in 4.2, KRunner adds a host of new tools. Now, you can use KRunner to find and open individual sessions of Kate, Konqueror, and Konsole, to access power management tools, spell check documents, find shortcuts in Konqueror, and search your browsing history.
You also have the choice of a command or task-oriented interface. The command interface is the one used in earlier KDE 4 releases, and is best suited to experts with some understanding of their operating systems. However, the task-oriented interface allows you to start typing and choose a completion either to find a specific application or to do the task you have entered. Quietly, without much attention, KRunner has evolved into an alternative to the default menu that is more efficient and easier to use, and that claims a smaller footprint on the desktop.

This is easily the most simple thing you'll ever sew. Even if you don't know how to sew, if you can get your hands on a machine, you can do this.
I have a similar nursing cover that costs $32 and is sewn sloppily. This will cost you a couple of dollars. And, uh, I must say that mine is done much more nicely.
You'll need:
1 yard of fabric
15" long piece of boning
two D-rings
I usually prefer things lined, but in this case, I wanted something lightweight. That's because my poor baby can get awfully sweaty and warm under a cover. I want this to be lightweight and breathable.
This cover utilizes boning to keep the top popped away from your chest slightly. This is a major help in allowing you to see and position baby. I'm making this one to use while pumping at work.
First, you need a 25"x35" rectangle. It is wider than it is tall, so if your fabric is directional, like mine, then keep that in mind.
You also need two pieces for the straps, along with two D-rings for the buckle. The strap pieces measure 4"x25" and 4"x7".
Finish the sides of your cover by folding over 1/4" and pressing. Then fold over another 1/4" and sew.
Finish the bottom by doing the same, but with 1/2" folds.
Make the straps. On the long strap, fold over one edge about 1/4" and press.
Then fold the whole strap in half lengthwise and press.
Open it up and press each raw edge toward the middle, all the way down.
Now, fold it back in half where you first pressed it. Your raw edges are encased.
Sew along the open edge.
Then top stitch on the other edge, for prettiness.
Make the other strap (the short one) in the same manner, except don't worry about folding over one short end (the first step).
After sewing, thread the strap through the D-rings and place raw ends together. Sew close to D-rings to secure them.
Start making your casing for the boning at the top by folding over a large hem of about 1", then another 1". Press.
Measure 7" from either edge of the cover and mark. This is your strap placement. Stick the raw edge of each strap under the folded hem so that the straps are on the wrong side of the fabric, pointing down.
Insert the boning in the casing between the straps. Pin and then sew all the way across. Make sure the boning curves such that the nursing cover will push away from your chest.
After sewing across, turn your straps upward and sew close to the edge to secure them in that position.
Then thread long strap through buckle. You're finished!

While becoming a welder may not seem like a glamorous job, it is an
interesting one for those who love working with their hands and it is also a
job that is technology proof. There are simply too many welding jobs that
machine welders are unsuitable for.
There are several different ways to get welder training. You can begin to
get your training through high local high school classes, through some
community colleges, outreach programs, apprentice programs or vocational
One of the best ways of becoming a welder is through a vocational or
welding school in KS. These programs normally last
from a few weeks to a few months and offer both day and evening classes. Monticello
Vocational welding schools offers both classroom and hands on training to those
who wish to become welders. Once the program is finished many of these schools
assist their students find welding jobs.
Some companies, train their own welders through apprentice programs feeling
that they are making a long term investment in both your and the companies
future. Apprentice training is most often done through a contract where both
sides make certain promises to the other. In most cases, the company offers to
see you trained as a welder and you agree to work for the company in that
capacity for a certain length of time once training is complete.
Many states do not require any type of certification to become a welder.
However, getting your welding certification shows employers that you have you
have committed yourself to this type of career and you take your skills as a
welder seriously. Getting your welding certificate shows prospective employers
that you meet safety guidelines and professional prescribed industrial
Since there are many different specializations in the welding field and a
different test for certification is required for each specialty. For those
wishing to specialize in more than one type of welding several certification
tests may be needed.
Monticello Welding jobs are available in a number of industries
including pipe welding, aerospace industry, ship building, and many other
opportunities. While some welders work for large companies such as oil
companies other welders set up their own shops and do smaller welding jobs. Job
prospects for welders continue to look good through 2016 though most well
trained and skilled welders can find work in almost any economy.
Salary for welders averages between $30,000 and $50,000 a year, however
highly skilled, experienced, and certified welders may make much more than the
average pay. While welding may not be a job for everyone for those who like
working with their hands and have the training to become a welder this can be a
job that is both interesting and rewarding.

When Jack Wilshere powered in the winner for Arsenal against Swansea on Wednesday, he set up a mouthwatering meeting of minds later in the month.
On January 26th, Arsene Wenger's much-maligned squad of stars will journey to The American Express Community Stadium to play Gus Poyet's Brighton & Hove Albion, a team built around the philosophy of slick passing football.
One-and-a-half seasons into life at a new stadium, hopes are high that the gospel according to Poyet is starting to convince the disciples.
He has assembled a multi-national squad boasting no less than four players with Champions League experience. At the start of this season, Tomasz Kuszczak was lured away from Manchester United and the big Pole has been a huge presence between the sticks. Wayne Bridge at left-back (on loan from Manchester City) and Bruno Saltor (from Valencia) give pedigree at full-back to complement local boy Adam El Abd and the dependable Gordon Greer at centre-back.
Quality back-up is vital in these days of non-stop football and Inigo Calderon, Marcos Painter and Lewis Dunk are able to slot in to the defensive unit as required. Such is Gus Poyet's commitment to measured, passing football, that most of Albion's attacks start with the ball being bowled out to one of the back four. No pressure-relieving hoofball from this team.
In front of the back four lurks the scampering, tough-tackling and magnificent Liam Bridcutt. The former Chelsea trainee, prised away from Stamford Bridge on a free transfer nearly three years ago, is now the almost unstoppable fulcrum for Albion's creativity. He tackles with timing and poise, heads the ball like a centre forward, and distributes the ball with intelligence. There is a lot of footballer packed into his diminutive frame.
Dean Hammond and Andrew Crofts provide options in the centre of midfield, both capable of helping the defence then popping up in the opposition penalty area. Both previously played for Brighton, before leaving when the club was in League One, to further their careers at Southampton and Norwich City respectively. They have returned as more rounded players, eager to add their experience to Gus Poyet's vision.
Out wide, Albion possess two of the most potent attacking threats in The Championship. The blistering pace of Kazenga Lua Lua has been utilised mainly off the bench recently and his ability to surge past defenders in the latter part of games has been invaluable. Will Buckley, bought from Watford as Brighton prepared for life at Falmer, immediately secured his place as an Albion legend, with both goals in the first league game at the new stadium. His second came in the 97th minute, a cool finish after his pace took him away from the Doncaster Rovers defence. He made a habit of injury-time winners last season and Buckley-time is as anticipated at Brighton, as Fergie-time at Old Trafford.
Poyet is not afraid to look abroad for additions to his squad and Spaniards David Lopez and Andrea Orlandi have added more options. Both have found transition to life in The Championship a little difficult, but recent performances suggest that the gamble is starting to pay off.
Talking of Spaniards, Brighton's other Spanish import is perhaps the most enigmatic. As little as eight short years ago, the name of Vicente Rodriguez was included in debates concerning the greatest players on the planet. Horrendous luck with injury limited his appearances, both for Valencia and the national team, but despite this, the football world was stunned when he was persuaded to swap The Mestalla for a spell on the South Coast of England. His 17 appearances last season gave us glimpses of that talent and his goals and visionary play excited the crowds. In one memorable cameo against Derby County, a mazy dribble left defenders floundering in his wake and he ended with a thunderous shot that left the crossbar quivering for minutes afterwards. Injury has again blighted his season but he is now fit again and eager to repay the club's faith in him. If he stays fit, Vicente could mean the difference between a playful flirt with the play-offs and a full on affair with promotion.
Up front, record signing Craig Mackail-Smith hasn't quite reproduced the form that persuaded Gus Poyet to part with £2.5 million of Chairman Tony Bloom's money. Ashley Barnes has weighed in with some vital goals in support of Mackail-Smith's non-stop running, but fans aren't quite convinced just yet. Stephen Dobbie was brought in from Swansea City with high hopes, but again, the jury is out. A possible transfer may cut short his agony.
Just 24 hours ago, Poyet again raided the Spanish League, this time for Almeira striker Leonardo Ulloa, known as The Cyclone. Twenty-nine goals in Spain's equivalent of the Championship says he knows where the goal is, and he has arrived just in time to (hopefully) put to bed the theory that, come the snow and cold in February, the overseas players will not be up for the challenge.
So, Brighton are in pretty good shape and despite a wobble in the League in December, are tucked in nicely, just outside the play-offs. But can they beat Arsenal? Logic dictates that the Premier League side will triumph, but these are turbulent times for Arsenal and an upcoming fixture pile-up for the Gunners could play into Brighton's hands.
Arsenal are a good side but by no means unbeatable and The Seagulls must fancy their chances against the fragile confidence of the Gunners. Either way, it will be a fascinating meeting between two teams committed to playing the game the right way. On their day, both sides are capable of getting a result but who knows, the emotional energy provided by what is sure to be Albion's largest home crowd since the heady days of the late 1970s may be enough to take the Seagulls past the Gunners and into the 5th round of the FA Cup.

Lush Life
Publisher's Summary
Whenever people asked him, Eric Cash used to have a dozen answers: artist, actor, screenwriter....But now he's 35 years old and he's still living downtown, still in the restaurant business, working night shifts and serving the people he always wanted to be. What does Eric do? He manages. Not like Ike Marcus. Ike Marcus had what the Lower East Side wanted: he was young, good-looking, people liked him. Ask him what he did, and he wouldn't say "tend bar". He was going places, and he was going to live forever - until two street kids stepped up to him and Eric on Eldridge Street one night and pulled a gun. Ike's last words were "Not tonight, my man".
At least, that's Eric's version.

"Lush Life" is a fine, possibly great novel about a homicide investigation, set in the lower east side of Manhattan. The story is told, in the third person, from the point of view of a NYPD detective. I live in Manhattan and work as an attorney in law enforcement. I talk to and work with NYPD officers and detectives every day. Because I don't actually go out on rides with cops, I cannot tell you if the novel is accurate as to what it feels like to work as a NYPD detective, but this book is totally accurate, to the smallest detail, of what it looks like.
The writing is first rate, and could be fairly categorized as "literary fiction" as well as crime fiction. And the narrator is excellent. His accent is pitch perfect, and he reads with sympathy and understanding. If you are interested in the crime genre, literary fiction, police officers, and especially, if you, like me, are completely in love with New York City, you will love this book.

A wonderful listen
I read the review in the Times, which described the book as having terrific dialog. It seemed to me that such a book would be particularly good to listen to. For those of you that are withdrawing from The Wire -- this book will do it. It is gritty and realistic, and the narration is wonderful.

Fantastic book - excellent reading
This audiobook is the rare intersection of a great New York story and a contemporary gritty crime novel. Although the story would easily be successful as a plot-driven police procedural, it is lifted into a special place by its focus on characters. Those characters were given greater life by Canavale's reading. Even Canavale's slight mispronunciations are done in a true New York way (witness the way "trompe l'oeil" comes through.
This is my first Price novel, and I intend to read many more.

Great narration, so-so story
For me, this book was all about the narration. Bobby Cannavale really brings this book to life and gives the story a true New York feel (as a New Yorker I appreciate the care and authenticity of his accents, inflections, tone, and style). The book was enjoyable enough I guess, but I didn't feel a great sense of drama or tension as it unfolded-- maybe because we (the reader) knows who the culprit is from the beginning. I didn't care a great deal about any of the characters. To me it felt mostly like a great portrait of New York and the Lower East Side, but not really a riveting mystery or crime drama.

Eerily real
From Sea of Love to Clockers to Lush Life, Richard Price is a genius at helping us see the extraordinary world in which these people live. I am a forensic psychologist who evaluates the defendants, works with the lawyers, and sees in therapy the cops who appear in Price's novels. I listen, and I know these people. I know their conflicts, their burdens, their passions, all the complicated influences that propel them to crash into each other. I almost lost him in the first interrogation of Eric Cash, which went on way too long, but if you hang in, you get completely caught up. I had never heard of Bobby Cannavale before, but his reading is so thrilling that he bears a little bit of comparison to the giant of this field, the sorely missed Frank Muller. At the beginning I feared this might go on too long; at the end I wanted it to go on for days and days.

Terrific book, gripping, well read.
This was quite a good book, offering a tremendous sense of place (Lower East Side) and time (c. 2003). The narration was great, the characters well developed. Although it took a little patience to get into the book, it was well worth the wait. Listen to this one. You won't be disappointed.

A Crime Story for the Rest of Us
This is such a great book! I never read crime novels, but saw that the NY Times gave this a "Bear in Mind" review, which means they liked it. The story has such depth in its descriptions of the people - all the people that are involved with the crime - the family, the victims, and the police who try their best to solve this. Although there is tension to the plot, that is not really the whole point - this author is creating a feel for the characters and the setting. The reading is excellent, and I found this to be a very enjoyable and engaging book - something I wanted to listen to as much as I could, as fast as I could!

Cannavale's "performance" is outstanding
Kirk from Pawleys Island nailed it! Bobby Cannavale has excelled at his craft in the narration of another Price work of notable acclaim.
The plot is interesting and informative without being overly "crime-novel" mundane. Price has captured a realistic image of the NYC tempo in the rapid fire switching of the story characters and scenes.
Cannavale performs the work with masterful application of Lower East side accent, street-talk and colorful emphasis of the characters personalities.
Highly recommended for those who want a view into a slice of 21st century NYC culture and are not intimidated by it.
Note to reviewers who have expressed some level of disappointment in the work: This is not a love story.

I found this audiobook difficult to follow at first, but then got hooked on the plot, the well-developed characters, and the shifting back and forth between the various characters' points of view. I don't normally listen to "crime novels" since the characters are too often 2 dimensional, but this is more than "just" a crime novel. recommended.

Superb Narration Makes This
This isn't that type of book I generally read, infact it was only that I purchased it as an audiobook, that I purchased it at all. If nothing else, Price is a master of dialog and superb at capturing bringing characters to life in this manner. So while the book doesn't offer a lot in the way of story line, and is unlikely to change your life, it is damn entertaining and this is chiefly because of the superb narration by Bobby Cannavale. Try it - you'll like it.

AVG AntiVirus Free 2015 is a fast, effective and accurate antivirus tool.
Launch the program, though, and what you'll first notice is the Windows 8-like interface. It's a little plain - if you don't like the look of Windows 8 then this probably won't appeal, either - but we found it easy to use, giving quick access to all the features and functions you need.
Giving your system its first health check is just a matter of clicking the "Scan now" button. This initial optimisation scan takes longer than usual (8:20 on our PC, to check around 680,000 objects), but you should then find that subsequent scans are very much faster (on our system they typically dropped to around 1:20).
We also found the program to be a little more accurate than before, and AVG also say it's also less resource-hungry. It still uses a little more RAM than we'd like, 40MB at a minimum, but otherwise had very little impact on our system performance.
AVG AntiVirus Free will by default also install the AVG browser toolbar and change your browser search page. This can help your security by highlighting dangerous pages in your search engine results, and blocking ad networks which collect personal information, but if you'd rather the program left your browser alone then that's also possible. Just choose the Custom Install option when installing AVG AntiVirus and you'll be able to choose precisely which features you want, and which you really don't.
On balance, though, AVG AntiVirus Free 2015 is an excellent program, delivering a great deal of protection for precisely no cost at all. Keep in mind that the commercial version does offer more features, though, including the ability to scan your downloads and files shared via instant messaging, so if you want the maximum security then that may be worth considering.
AVG AntiVirus Free 2015 is a real security bargain, delivering solid PC protection which is both faster and more accurate than before

Student or Learner
Hello. I am trying to see if the verb send is followed by in or at.
For example:
I would be grateful if you could send me a new user-id and a password in/at my working address
I would like to thank you in advance for your help.
Best Regards
(1) You have made an excellent point.
(2) It is ONLY my opinion that I would be more comfortable writing it as I did. To me at my work address = To my work address.
(3) Let's look at your nice sentence:
... send me a new user-I.D. and password at my work address. =
... send (to) me a new user-I.D. and password at my work address.
(i) I think (think) your sentence is grammatically fine.
(ii) I feel, however, that it MIGHT be a bit confusing to the reader at first. That is, the sentence seems to refer to an I.D. and password AT your work address.
(a) I believe, however, that you are referring to the person (me) AT the work address.
(4) Hopefully, one of the great teachers at this website will soon answer you. Whatever s/he says will be the correct answer.
Have a nice day!

You must now configure the Message Queue client runtime to require signed certificates, and ensure that it trusts the certification authority that signed the certificate.
By default, starting with release 4.0, the connection factory object that the client will be using to establish broker connections has its imqSSLIsHostTrusted attribute set to false, meaning that the client runtime will attempt to validate all certificates. Validation will fail if the signer of the certificate is not in the client's trust store.
Verify whether the signing authority is registered in the client's trust store.
To test whether the client will accept certificates signed by your certification authority, try to establish an SSL connection, as described above under Configuring and Running an SSL-Based Client Using Self-Signed Certificates. If the CA is in the client's trust store, the connection will succeed and you can skip the next step. If the connection fails with a certificate validation error, go on to the next step.
Install the signing CA's root certificate in the client's trust store.
The client searches the key store files cacerts and jssecacerts by default, so no further configuration is necessary if you install the certificate in either of those files. The following example installs a test root certificate from the Verisign certification authority from a file named testrootca.cer into the default system certificate file, cacerts. The example assumes that J2SE is installed in the directory $JAVA_HOME/usr/j2se:
keytool -import -keystore /usr/j2se/jre/lib/security/cacerts -alias VerisignTestCA -file testrootca.cer -noprompt -trustcacerts -storepass myStorePassword
An alternative (and recommended) option is to install the root certificate into the alternative system certificate file, jssecacerts:
keytool -import -keystore /usr/j2se/jre/lib/security/jssecacerts -alias VerisignTestCA -file testrootca.cer -noprompt -trustcacerts -storepass myStorePassword
A third possibility is to install the root certificate into some other key store file and configure the client to use that as its trust store. The following example installs into the file /home/smith/.keystore:
keytool -import -keystore /home/smith/.keystore -alias VerisignTestCA -file testrootca.cer -noprompt -trustcacerts -storepass myStorePassword
Since the client does not search this key store by default, you must explicitly provide its location to the client to use as a trust store. You do this by setting the Java system property javax.net.ssl.trustStore once the client is running:

Inside the Vallejo aeration basin prior to the new cover installation.
The Vallejo Sanitation & Flood Control District in the San Francisco Bay area has been engaged in a program to scrub off-gas odors from all aspects of its wastewater treatment plant.
Most recently, the wastewater plant has focused on scrubbing off-gas odors from its secondary treatment processes, and specifically its two open aeration basins. To contain these odors, the district opted to use a retractable, structurally supported geomembrane cover system from Geomembrane Technologies Inc. (GTI), which proved effective for the collection of off-gas and provided flexibility and ease-of-access for tank monitoring, maintenance and repairs. GTI designs, engineers, fabricates, installs, and maintains complete odor control systems worldwide.
The Vallejo plant's two secondary process aeration basins were originally built in 1988, and are each 15 feet deep, 15 feet wide and 110 feet long. Every few weeks, the Vallejo operators conduct a visual inspection into the aeration tanks from the top. Once a year they drain the tanks, go down inside to conduct a physical inspection of the blowers and diffusers at the bottom, and hose down the sides of the basins.
For almost 20 years the basins remained uncovered, but as part of the plant's odor control upgrade, the district looked into options of how to cover them. Carollo Engineers, an environmental engineering firm specializing in the planning, design and construction of water and wastewater facilities, was retained by Vallejo to handle the design and construction management for the plant odor control upgrade, and began reviewing different cover options for enclosing the basins.
"We wanted the covers first for odor control, so they needed to be corrosion resistant," says Tim Tekippe, Carollo project manager handling the Vallejo project. "But we also needed the covers to be easy to open and close for access to the tanks for sampling, scheduled maintenance and repairs. We felt structurally supported covers would be the best system for the plant's needs because of the better access they provide over other systems, like floating covers. We first looked at rigid type covers such as aluminum and fiberglass, but both of these proved more labor intensive for operators to gain access to the basins."
Depending on their size, aluminum panels can be heavy, and both aluminum and fiberglass covers being rigid, can be bulky and difficult to maneuver for workers while perched above an open tank. This tricky maneuver requires a fair amount of labor – both to take the aluminum panels off, place the covers aside and later put the covers back on – but also poses a potentially significant safety hazard for the workers.
"Along with our engineering firm, Carollo, we looked at a number of other wastewater plants, and what they were using to cover their aeration tanks," says Barry Pomeroy, director of Operations and Maintenance at the Vallejo Sanitation & Flood Control District. "The aluminum and fiberglass covers we looked at were big plates and seemed hard to handle and remove. Then we went to a water treatment plant in Colorado that was using retractable, structurally supported covers made with a geomembrane fabric. They looked like they would be very easy to remove for maintenance, and watched how easy they were to open and close. We even walked on them while they were in place over the tank, to see how strong and durable they were. Based on that trip, we decided to design these retractable covers into our aeration basins."
The aeration basins with the new retractable covers.
Vallejo's cover system – designed, engineered and built by GTI – consists of a composite sheet of high-strength, UV-protected, coated fabric tensioned across a series of low-profile aluminum arches that span the tank's opening. Intermediate aluminum walkways spanning the tank are used to divide the fabric cover sections into appropriate lengths for easy retractability.
The geomembrane cover fabric is made of a laminated sheet of 40 mil specialty PVC (Ethylene Interpolymer Alloy). It incorporates a highly specialized weave design that provides maximum strength-to-weight ratios. Because this topsheet is exposed to the sun, it is also equipped with advanced UV inhibitors. The material can withstand temperatures to minus 30 degrees F.
Vallejo's covers are gas-tight, operating under negative air pressure. A ventilation system draws air through the tank and underneath the covers, and pulls along with it the off-gas from the aeration process. Off-gas removal piping is connected directly to the cover system and out to a soil filter for odor scrubbing.
Although the membrane covers are gas-tight, they can be quickly detached and easily rolled up along the frame. This gives operators access to inspect and maintain internal components of the basins. Reattaching the membrane covers is quick and easy. Additional hatches in the intermediate aluminum walkways allow access by plant operators without retracting the covers.
"The expected life of these retractable covers is about 15 years," explains Tekippe. "And the cost is very attractive compared to other cover systems. If a cover did have to be replaced it would be easy to change out and could be done in minimal time. These retractable covers are very well-suited for both municipal wastewater and drinking water plants. We have since specified them for use in other public water and wastewater projects."

Robbery suspects paint getaway car new color, forget license plates
NOOKSACK, Wash. – A group of fleeing robbery suspects was ahead of pursuing officers when they decided to paint their getaway car a new color, but they forgot to change the license plate on the vehicle.
The Bellingham Herald reports the alleged driver, 22-year-old Westley C. French, outran the law for five more hours this past weekend.
French and his alleged accomplices used those fleeting moments of freedom to give his green Nissan 240 SX a new coat of black spray paint. But they neglected to swap out the car's South Dakota plates when border agents found the car and the suspects outside of Nooksack Valley High School.
Everett police spokesman Aaron Snell says the suspects were wanted for beating two men during a car robbery.

Something like http://www.raczynski.com/pn/heathit.htm I think we need one app for processing data, and another for 3d modeling. Or what we need to develop? The purpose of the simulation is just justify and demostrate the cost-performance and benefits of a beowulf cluster. Thanks. -- ~Rolando

|Fender Ketchup
Carl Johnson plans to deal with a casino vandal with scare tactics
|GTA San Andreas
|Wu Zi Mu
|The Four Dragons Casino, Las Venturas, San Andreas
|$5,000 and Respect
|Explosive Situation
|Unlocked by
|Learning to Fly
Fender Ketchup is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by San Fierro Triads leader Wu Zi Mu from his office at The Four Dragons Casino, a casino located along The Strip in Las Venturas, San Andreas.
Carl pays a visit to Woozie, after inviting him to this new place. Woozie explains to him the problems he's having about the casino business. Apparently, either one of the three mafia families in the city - the Leone Family, the Forelli Family and the Sindacco Family - are causing the trouble for him. He would do anything to keep them away. Woozie then offers a deal to Carl; in exchange for some help with this casino business, Woozie would offer Carl a share of the casino. Carl gladly agrees.
A little later, a Triad comes in, saying that some thugs have been interrupting things, and that one of the thugs was caught. Woozie orders him to get rid of the thug, but Carl has a better idea. He orders the Triad to tie him up on the windshield of a Feltzer, and he would deal with this a little later.
Soon enough, Carl goes to the garage and finds the thug already tied up to the windshield of the vehicle. Carl exits the garage and drives frantically around town in order scare the thug to reveal which family he belongs to. The thug eventually reveals he is from the Sindacco Family, and Carl says that's all he wanted to hear. He then goes back to the casino.
(Wu Zi Mu on the phone)
Wu Zi Mu: Idiot! Do you realize how much those machines cost? We're supposed to be opening in -
(Crash sound)
Wu Zi Mu: What the fuck was that?
(To the phone again)
Wu Zi Mu: Hello? HELLO? What the fuck is wrong with you people?
Guppy: Boss, CJ's here.
Wu Zi Mu: Carl, glad you could make it.
Carl Johnson: So this is what you've been doing.
Wu Zi Mu: Yeah, it's been a complete nightmare. You want a stomach ulcer, try opening a Triad casino in a Mafia-run town!
Carl Johnson: The Mob trying to squeeze you?
Wu Zi Mu: Yeah - the corporations are moving in and everybody's feeling the squeeze. I've got slot machines busted up, workmen being scared off...
Carl Johnson: So who's behind this?
Wu Zi Mu: Well, there are these three mob families operating here, and each of them has a stake in Caligula's Casino, and some wacked-out lawyer's running it for them. It could be any one of them, or all of 'em.
Carl Johnson: Can't you just give them a little something?
Wu Zi Mu: No. In addition to the usual authorities that need bribing, each one would want a slice, and I'm not about to hand over all of our profits to some wiseguy Italians!
Carl Johnson: Our profit?
Wu Zi Mu: That's right, you heard me. I want to offer you a share in our casino in exchange for some help setting it up. How does that sound, partner?
Carl Johnson: Sounds like we got a deal then!
(A Triad comes)
Triad: Boss! The boys found some thugs trying to smash one of the deliveries. We caught one of them!
Wu Zi Mu: Get rid of him.
Carl Johnson: Hey, wait - hold up, hold up, come here. Whoever's behind this, we need to let them know that they're dealing with fully-fledged psychos. Tie him to the front of the car, let him sweat it out a little, and I'll be out there in a little while.
(To Woozie)
Carl Johnson: See if we can make this guy squeal.
Wu Zi Mu: That's my Carl!
(At the Four Dragon's Casino Garage)
Johnny Sindacco: Hey, hey, who the fuck - who are you? Untie me, huh?
Carl Johnson: You know what? I think were gonna take a little drive.
Johnny Sindacco: What are you, fucking stupid? I'm not joking here - untie me, motherfucker.
Carl Johnson: No, I think I'm gonna leave you right where you are.
(Outside the Garage)
Johnny Sindacco: You got any idea in that pea brain head of yours who the fuck I am?
Carl Johnson: No, but I think I'm going to find out.
(After scaring the thug enough)
Johnny Sindacco: The family is going to make you pay for this!
Carl Johnson: Which family?
Johnny Sindacco: The Sindacco family, you idiot!
Carl Johnson: That's all I wanted to hear.
Johnny Sindacco: What the-? Oh shit...
The rewards for this mission are $5,000 and an increase in respect. The mission Explosive Situation is unlocked.
The Feltzer can sometimes be stuck on the garage door of the Four Dragons Casino for quite a while. However, pressing the Shift key after a measure of time would skip the grinding of the car towards the garage door.
Carl Johnson greets Johnny Sindacco.

By Stephen Sestanovich
Sunday, October 17, 2004; Page B07
With terrorist attacks against Russia on the rise, President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly denounced what he calls Western "double standards." Americans and Europeans hit back hard when they're attacked, he says. He's doing the same thing -- and he expects our support.
Putin is right that we should want others to fight terrorism as single-mindedly as we do. But he's wrong that Russia is a victim of double standards. It's a beneficiary. Putin's counterterrorism efforts are judged more leniently than those of other countries, and as a result his own citizens, and ours, are less secure.
If this seems implausible, try a simple thought experiment. Suppose that the two aircraft that exploded after taking off from Moscow in late August had instead departed from Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. And imagine the international uproar when we learned that the suicide bombers had bribed their way on board. Azerbaijan would be under intense pressure to correct this gross institutional failure and to prove that it wasn't a failed state.
Or suppose that schoolchildren had been held hostage by terrorists in a small town in Ukraine, and that after days of official lying, the incident ended in a melee between the terrorists and half-trained local police, irregulars and vigilantes, leaving hundreds of children dead. Suppose also that Ukraine had (as Russia has) badly botched rescue attempts in earlier terrorist incidents. Other governments would naturally feel deep sympathy, but they would also insist that the fiasco was bound to repeat itself unless Ukraine's corrupt, brutal and incompetent law enforcement agencies were reformed. Wouldn't it be obvious that a state that handles its own problems so poorly puts the whole neighborhood at risk?
Of course, demanding that another government reform itself is a challenge to its sovereignty, and like us Russia resists this sort of thing. Its view is: We handle lawlessness in our country, and you handle it in yours. Yet two states of the former Soviet Union, Georgia and Moldova, accuse Russia of a far more basic violation of their sovereignty: keeping its troops on their territory against their wishes and providing military protection for separatist groups that rule entire provinces of each country. Georgia and Moldova complain that these areas have become centers of smuggling, illicit arms trading, human trafficking and drug dealing -- lawless zones that we now recognize as potential havens for terrorism, too. Yet, despite years of trying, neither country has been able to get the Russians to leave.
To see how strange Russia's position is, try another thought experiment. Suppose that separatists in Moldova and Georgia were supported by two other neighbors, Romania and Turkey. These allies of the United States might argue (with some justice) that they had historical and ethnic ties to the area, or perhaps that they couldn't find suitable housing for their troops back home, or that a pullback would injure their national pride. Would any of these seem to be convincing reasons?
Neither Romania nor Turkey could infringe a neighbor's rights in this way without deep damage to its international standing. Had it done so, Romania would never have been admitted to NATO last year, nor would Turkey have been invited earlier this month to begin talks on joining the European Union. Putin must marvel that he alone can support separatism in neighboring states, pay no price for doing so -- and still complain about double standards.
The fact that Russia benefits from double standards does not mean that Putin is wrong about the case that troubles him most: his unsuccessful effort to subdue the Chechen resistance, which now seems able to strike at will inside Russia. All states have a right to control their own territory, and during a decade of violence in Chechnya neither the United States nor any European government has ever questioned this Russian right.
Yet here too a thought experiment can help us. Suppose that another government had waged the same unrelenting, scorched-earth warfare against militants wanting their own state and still had to admit, despite tens of thousands dead, hundreds of thousands of refugees and the total devastation of countless towns and villages, that terrorist attacks were actually on the rise. How would other countries react then?
Many might worry that this failing effort would eventually begin to threaten them. Some would surely consider drawing up an international "road map" to resolve the conflict. They would doubtless demand a credible plan for local reconstruction and call for outside monitoring of its implementation. They might begin to question the argument that there was nobody on the other side to negotiate with. Some would explore contacts with elements of the resistance not implicated in terrorism -- and might even consider offering them limited technical aid.
These would not necessarily be useful or prudent steps with Chechnya. But prudence has to guide us -- not fear that we are unfairly applying double standards to a friend in trouble.
Russia is a friend in trouble and too great a nation to depend on special favors. Yet we treat it with what President Bush, in another context, has called "the soft bigotry of low expectations." It does not serve us well, and helps Russia even less.

Exclusive: Lab Finds Toxin In Unopened, Unrecalled Pet Food
The same Texas lab that has reported acetaminophen in pet food, has reported finding cyanuric acid after receiving an unopened container of Hills Science Diet Light Adult canned dog formula. This is the first report we have received that was tested from an unopened container. The picture above shows 2 more cans from the same batch.
Science Diet Light Adult formula has not been recalled by the manufacturer.
The lab report from Expertox obtained by Itchmo states that the tested product had a best before date of 01 2009 and had the lot number T0520917 7048. Cyanuric acid was reportedly found in concentrations of more than 400 ug/g — that's micrograms/gram.
Hill's representatives declined to be interviewed over the phone and emailed questions were not returned in time for this deadline.
An Itchmo reader tested the food based on veterinary tests on a dog. The reader's email is after the jump. It has been edited to remove personal information.
Reader's email:
I received today the test results on the canned food from the case lot my 4-year old Shih Tzu was eating from when her blood work indicated that she was in kidney failure. We did IV for 4 days, antibiotics for one month, and now fluid therapy once a week. She is still alive, eating home cooked food, has a good appetite, but I don't know where her kidney levels are at present. Her BUN was 160 before the IV therapy. The BUN came down following 4 days on IV, but was still high when I brought her home.
The reader also said that another dog that did not eat the canned food had normal blood tests.

Green Deals Daily: Find Eco-Friendly Bargains
Shopping for environmentally friendly products from socially responsible companies doesn't have to be expensive (though it often is!). A lot of companies are lowering the prices of their green products and services to attract more buyers and get the products into mainstream markets. If you're looking for a deal when shopping for green goods, you might check out Green Deals Daily, a Digg-like social news site where users and editors post bargains and let the community vote on them. The site is brand new and just beginning to get attention.
Green Deals Daily uses the Digg model to rank and promote the deals and bargains posted to the site. Registered users (registration is free) and the editors behind the service post at least one deal each day, and the community votes on it. The higher the vote, the more people thought the bargain was worthwhile or at least worth being featured.
The service isn't just for new products and services, though; Green Deals Daily features a number of tips and tricks to help you reduce your environmental impact and make the most out of the products you already own. After all, it's important to reduce and reuse as well as recycle. Green Deals Daily does bring you bargains on products with socially responsible and eco-friendly companies, but just as often it suggests other relevant links and information.
To illustrate: On the home page today is a link to a credit card company that donates a portion of its profits (and each of your purchases) to eco-friendly organizations and environmental causes, five things you should know before buying LED light bulbs, and a site that'll help you find eco-employment if you're looking for jobs in Canada. If you're interested in older deals, just scroll down the page, or click the tag cloud to find specific stories on items that interest you. You can click on "new deals" to find the bargains and articles that have been recently added to the site. The most highly rated and popular deals (along with the featured deal of the day) make it to the front page.
Green Deals Daily looks to be new, and most of the articles and deals published on the site only have a few votes. But the site has a lot of potential to bring environmentally friendly deals and articles to the masses and provide a real source for people who are interested in reducing their impact on the environment.

EMF/MQ, MT, and VF 1.2/New and Noteworthy
EMF Model Query, Model Transaction, and Validation Framework Release 1.2 New and Noteworthy Items.
For more details about the milestone-by-milestone development plan, see the 1.2 draft plan.
Back to Eclipse Modeling Framework.
Transaction: Support for Open Composite Operations
The Workspace Integration layer's IOperationHistory-based CommandStack implementation now supports open composite operations. Now, a CompositeEMFOperation can safely implement the ICompositeOperation interface to be "opened" on the history while other operations are executed within its scope. The editing domain will correctly attach ResourceUndoContexts to the composite when it completes, ensuring that it appears on the Undo menu of any editor on the affected Resources.
This works also for AbstractEMFOperations that are executed while a non-EMF composite operation is open on the history.
Transaction: Workspace Validate-Edit Support
Transactions perform a new validate-edit step in the validation phase of commit. When a root transaction commits, it now checks that the resources affected by the transaction are writable or can be made writable by the appropriate Team Providers. If any resource is not writable, the transaction rolls back.
A new Transaction::OPTION_VALIDATE_EDIT option allows clients to specify whether to perform validate-edit or not (by default, not). Additionally, instead of a boolean value, a custom implementation of a new ValidateEditSupport interface can be supplied to perform a validate-edit better suited to the client's needs. The default implementation simply checks with the editing domain that the resource is not read-only.
The org.eclipse.emf.workspace plug-in specializes the validate-edit support for its editing domains to use the Eclipse Workspace API for validate-edit. This provides a richer team-provider integration in IDE applications.
Because validate-edit is not enabled by default, clients that wish to use it must specify the OPTION_VALIDATE_EDIT on every command or operation execution. To simplify this, the TransactionalEditingDomain interface is extended to support default transaction options. Concrete editing domains may implement a new Adaptable interface to provide a DefaultOptions adapter that allows clients to set and query domain-wide default transaction options. The best opportunity for specifying default transaction options is in the factory implementation for the editing domain, so that they are in place before any client actually creates any transactions in that domain.
Other Bug Fixes
For details of other bugs fixed in this milestone, see the Query, Transaction, and Validation release notes.
