Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard on Thursday started large-scale war games in the Persian Gulf and the strategic Strait of Hormuz, state television reported.
Iran has been holding military maneuvers in the gulf and the Strait of Hormuz annually since 2006 to show off its military capabilities. The last four editions of the games were held in the summer, but there has been no official explanation why they were brought forward this year.
The war games have routinely heightened tension in the region, but they have more recently taken added significance as the standoff between the West and Tehran over Iran's nuclear program grows deeper.
The West suspects the program conceals a nuclear arm production drive, a charge that Iran denies.
Iran has in the past signaled that it would close the Strait of Hormuz if attacked by the West, something that makes holding war games there a particularly sensitive move. Some 40 percent of the world's oil and energy supplies pass through the narrow waterway at the mouth of the Persian Gulf.
The television said naval, air and ground units from the Guard were participating in the three-day games codenamed "The Great Prophet." It said the war games will witness the commissioning of what it described as an "ultra-speed" vessel called "Ya Mahdi" and a total of 313 speedboats with the capability of firing rockets and missiles also would participate.
On Wednesday, Defense Minister Gen. Ahmad Vahidi said "new weapons" would be test-fired in the war games, but did not give any details.
Tehran was angered by President Barack Obama's announcement this month of a new U.S. nuclear policy in which he pledged America would not use atomic weapons against nations that do not have them. Iran and North Korea were pointedly excluded from the non-use pledge, and Iranian leaders took that as an implicit threat.
Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said Wednesday that the U.S. "nuclear threat" is a "Stigma in the U.S. political history," saying Iranians will not allow the U.S to dominate the country.
Iran's archenemy, Israel, has not ruled out military action against Iran's nuclear facilities.

You could alway have it be part of the story that her family used to live someplace else and moved to Seattle soon after she was born. Moving to Seattle and learning Aurora's awful local association would certainly give the family reason to call her Rory as much as possible.I think Aurora, nn Rory, is a good fit for the family. It has the same feel, and it seems like a good bridge between the more unusual eldest child's name and the more mainstream names under consideration for the younger siblings. I can picture parents who would name their other children Gratian, Theodore/Lucas, and Penelope choosing Aurora as well.

Due to tremendous negative user feedback, Turbine has now torn down that wall. Dungeons and Dragons Online enjoyed a strong influx of new players last year when it switched to a free-to-play model, with more than a million new players flocking to the game within the first few months of the change. Exploring new ways to get Turbine points into the hands of its players, the developer recently set up an offer wall - an affiliate marketing program where players sign up for various deals through Super Rewards. Players complete registration for, say, a Netflix free-trial, submit all of their information to these companies, and are awarded points they can spend in the DDO store. It's similar to the programs you see associated with Facebook games like FarmVille or PetVille. Advertisement Advertisement Unfortunately for Turbine, what slides with your average FarmVille player doesn't work with the net-savvy MMO gamer. The fans lashed out, filling the game's forums with protests, citing concerns of information privacy and spam as they railed against this new program.Yesterday, in the official DDO forums, Turbine pleased players with news that the offer wall had been taken down.Based on your feedback, we're stepping away from the 'Offer' category for now. We'll keep exploring alternate ways for players who want points to get them. We'll also continue to innovate in pricing and accessibility because that's who we are. As of today, the Offer Wall is coming down. We'll collect all the feedback we've received over the last few days and will use it to guide future decisions.Everybody wins, except perhaps Super Rewards, but they've got all of Facebook to take advantage of. Sponsored We'll chalk this one down as a triumph for the players, and send some warm fuzzies Turbine's way for listening to its customers.Offer Wall Update [Dungeons and Dragons Online Forums - Thanks Steven!]Reply62 repliesLeave a reply

Rena XP3 set up questions?
I just bought a Rena XP3 for my 75 community tank. I thought it would come complete with everything to set it up, but I guess not. As far as how to set up the baskets.....It came with several filter pads for the upper & lower basket, and a Carbon bag.
there is room to put something else in the baskets. What about the microbiological media? How much should I get to put in? Is one type better than another? Can you overfill it with bio media?
Any other advice would be helpful.
0Canisters provide lots of versatility as far as what type of media you want to utilize, particularly if the canister is used to supplement (or is supplemented by) a HOB filter.
I recommend to save the 'Bio Chem Zorb' (the 'carbon bag' which also contains ammonia removing media, if I'm not mistaken) for an emergency and replace it with bio-media. Most of my XP3's are predominently filled with biologic media (bio-chem stars, ceramic noodles, left over Seachem Matrix rocks, etc). You can't "overfill" the canister with biological media.
You could also configure them to perform a mechanical filtration role (using pads in each basket as opposed to the top and bottom one, etc). There's a trade off though (increased mechanical filtration but lower flow rate).African cichlid and saltwater aquariums

0Any Bio media any better than the others? I was just going to go to petco or petsmart and get whatever was the cheapest.
0Anything that is high-porous with a large surface area would be ideal. I'm not familar with what type of biological filtration media is available at those two places, though.

0Just bought the Fluval bio media. Only 1 500g package. I'll probably add the Rena stars as well next time I take the filter apart.

Hi Amy,
My name is Claire and I am a 25 year old paralegal in New Jersey. Before I get to my question I want you to know that I read your book, Manifesta, and I found it very thought provoking as to what a woman's power can do. That was about a year ago. I am presently reading it again to find my inner power that can make changes in this world.
All of my life I have been told that I have a strong personality and I am an inspiring person. However, I am just at a point in my life where I know how to use that power to my advantage.
So here's my question:
On February 15th, Oprah had a show on the fact that rape kits performed on a rape "victims"(I hate that word) are sitting on shelves for years because the government doesn't want to shell out the $500. it takes to test the kit!! This is happening nationally.
There was a woman from California on the show that said she was raped, had the rape kit done, and did not get results for I believe 10 years. Once the results came in, and the rapists DNA was confirmed, the statute of limitations had run out and he couldn't be prosecuted. Also, during those 10 years he had raped and killed another woman. This completely outrages me!!!!!!!
I want to do something, only I don't know who to turn to? I am presently taking a criminal law class and my professor works for the prosecutor's office in Newark, New Jersey. She is checking things out. I thought I would run this by you and see what you thought.
I know you are a very busy woman and I would greatly appreciate any path you can lead me on to get a crusade together to fight this. Or let me know if there already is one and I'll join it!!!!
I really appreciate your time and thank you soooo much for the inspiration of MANIFESTA!!!!!!
Dear Claire,
Obviously you are right to be outraged and I'm guessing that since Oprah devoted a segment to this, other people are outraged, too. Her impact is incredible and so far reaching. I haven't heard of any other cases challenging this, but I certainly think that it is a must. I'm sure it gets challenged on a case by case basis and what is really needed is a class action suit of sorts, where the whole lot and process could be challenged and done away with. In a similar way, I'm hoping that someone will eventually bring a case against "evidence" in general as it pertains to death penalty cases, so many of those who were wrongfully convicted were charged as such based on what became known as faulty evidence.So in a similar way with these rape kits, I think it's a violation of their rights to be able to have falsified evidence or even faulty evidence used against them. We need a more sound measures. The same goes for the rape cases.
Anyway, what can you do in lieu of bringing this case out to the public? Have you thought about starting with just your state? Most hospitals themselves are private, not public, so they might consider this an expense that they might endure, even if the public ones won't. Also, how about doing a fundraising effort for rape kits. You could target this around a police precinct or a hospital and use it as a gimmick -- and, of course, a potentially good thing, too -- to raise awareness and potentially bring pressure via the media? People do these things because they think that no one is looking. How about asking tax payers to withhold that amount from their taxes or to write that expense into their taxes? Again a gimmicky way of getting attention. Have you connected with RAINN or one of the other rape awareness groups about what they are doing? You should certainly consider your own project, but joining forces is usually a more successful approach.

China's new leaders are talking nice. The country's "ambitious" reform plans will provide "enormous" opportunities for the world, said premier Li Keqiang on May 27 at a business forum in Berlin, citing plans for industrialization and urbanization, as well as agricultural and technological upgrading. China and the U.S. must "build on past successes and open up new dimensions for the future," stated president Xi Jinping while meeting the U.S. National Security Advisor Thomas Donilon in Beijing on the same day.
Li's and Xi's latest words follow a series of equally buoyant statements suggesting that the new leadership is preparing to break a logjam of reforms inherited from its predecessors. Possible initiatives include opening the economy to greater competition from private and foreign enterprises, slashing red tape, loosening government controls on where Chinese can live, and strengthening social welfare while taxing China's most-polluting and energy-consuming industries. The reformist talk comes against a backdrop of slowing growth, with the first quarter's 7.7 percent rise in gross domestic product even lower than the 7.8 percent rate for all of last year (which in turn, was China's slowest growth in 13 years.)
On March 17, just after assuming the premiership, Li called economic reform the "biggest dividend for China," saying that efforts to limit government influence over the economy were a "self-imposed revolution" but one that would "be very painful and even feel like cutting one's wrist." More recently, in a speech on May 13, Li said Beijing must continue to cut bloated government approvals that are inhibiting the growth of private enterprise. Instead, he said, Beijing must limit the role of state-led investment and "rely upon the market mechanism."
And in an address to a group of top Party leaders on May 24, Xi said that China must not sacrifice its environment in pursuit of economic growth: "A sound eco-environment is the basic foundation for the sustainable development of humans and society," he said. "We have to understand that to protect the environment is to preserve our productivity."
Despite the cheering rhetoric, don't hold your breath in anticipation of rapid, sweeping change. Curbing China's egregious environmental problems for example, will be hampered by the high costs of implementing new pollution and emission control systems. Many of China's industries, including steel and cement, are already struggling with overcapacity and falling product prices.
Nor should you expect significant movement on economic reform until after October's party plenum, a key government meeting at which new leaders typically unveil significant policy changes. The most famous of these was the third plenum in late 1978, when then-paramount leader Deng Xiaoping announced China's reform and opening policy, ending the country's autarchic Maoist policies.
A further challenge will be to persuade everyone that this time, the reforms are for real. Almost 10 years after China amended its constitution to protect the rights of private business, entrepreneurs continue to face formidable obstacles in getting access to credit that's controlled by China's state-owned banks and in winning business contracts while competing with state enterprises. Some economists remain skeptical that Beijing is ready to throw open cossetted state sectors to genuine competition, given the vested interests—including powerful oligopolies in telecoms, finance, power and energy—that benefit from the present system.
Meanwhile, U.S. businesses surveyed recently cited market access barriers, concerns about unclear regulations, and slower growth prospects as contributing to growing pessimism about the China market. The percentage of American companies saying that China's investment environment was improving has dropped to 28 percent, from 43 percent a year ago, the American Chamber of Commerce in China reported (PDF) on March 29. And 35 percent of respondents "believe industrial policies favor state-owned enterprises (SOE) to the detriment of their own company," the report stated.

What are your tech priorities for the next 12 months?
A peer to peer study on you
Posted in Reg Technology Panel, 24th July 2007 10:28 GMT
Reg Technology Panel The Reg Technology Panel Barometer study, our bi-annual trawl through your priorities in tech, returns this week with a batch of new questions to map your focus, concerns, and initiatives for the next 12 months (you can see past studies here).
As ever, your help is needed.
You tell us what you're doing and then we'll publish the results for all to see – so you can measure just how your priorities pan-out against the rest of your sector. And perhaps understand whether your concerns are unsubstantiated or whether everyone is feeling the same pain.
There's five core questions with various sub-questions, so it should take you about five minutes to complete. Once you're done it'll take us about two weeks to analyse the data and publish the findings. If you want to give us your email address at the end, we'll even email you a copy of the report.
All the survey data is totally anonymous. But your feedback is crucial. The more of you that contribute, the more value you should be able to get from the resulting report.
We're eternally grateful for your support.
Happy surveying. ®

Masterworks from Budapest. From the Renaissance to the Avant-Garde
From 18 February to 28 May 2017
Milton Avery is difficult to classify as a painter. Despite the fact that he resided in New York from 1925 onwards, his pictorial universe was far removed from the tensions of city life and closer to the peace and calm of nature, while his painting, though underpinned by the realist tradition of the American Scene, is too abstract to be ascribed to this trend. However, although he was a good friend of Rothko and Gorky, who became prominent practitioners of American abstraction, his art never broke away sufficiently from representation to be considered part of the abstract movements.
Canadian Cove, a canvas dated 1940, is a good example of Avery's delicate style of sketchy forms and brilliant colours and his peaceful, Arcadian world. It shows a tranquil coastal scene that recalls the summer the Avery family spent on the Gaspé peninsula near Quebec in 1938. His wife Sally and their daughter March are portrayed placidly reading or drawing on a promontory overlooking the cove, whose diagonal outline divides the composition into two trapezoidal forms.
The simplified manner of representing nature without detail and the personal palette of colours are characteristic of the artist's unmistakeable lyricism. The harmonious bluish hue that pervades the entire composition and the application of the paint in loose brushstrokes that create large planes of colour denote the influence of Henri Matisse, and also point to the shift to greater abstraction that Avery's work underwent soon afterwards.

Concerns expressed about Dave Marshall Field
To the editor:
I read with interest the recent story about the replacement of Firestone High School and Litchfield Middle School. This is certainly an exciting project for West Akron. I am looking forward to watching the new buildings as they are constructed over the next several years.
I was kind of surprised to read that the baseball team might be required to temporarily relocate during the construction project. Dave Marshall Field is located across the street from the construction site of the two new buildings. I don't understand why the field would be needed for any construction related activities.
I have heard a rumor that the marching band may be given permission to use Dave Marshall Field for marching practice during the summer and fall. I hope this isn't true. The turf on the baseball field literally needs the remainder of the summer and fall to recover in time to be playable in the spring. If the band uses the field it will be damaged by the constant repetitive usage. The band could literally use the field until the snow flies and there won't be any time for the turf to recover.
What is a little disconcerting about this proposition is that the reconstruction of Dave Marshall Field several years ago was accomplished with private donations by the community and contractors, as well as the parents, boosters and the coaches. Akron Public Schools made no contribution fiscally or otherwise to assist in the development of the new field. In fact, since the field was rebuilt, Akron Public Schools hasn't spent any money on operating or maintaining the field. All of the field care and maintenance is being taken care of by the parents, boosters and the coaches.
I hope this rumor isn't accurate. Essex School is sitting idle just a few blocks away. Why can't the band use the fields behind Essex?
I hope this isn't a situation where an asset is turned into a liability. But if true, it seems like that's what will happen.
David Celik, West Akron

Subject | 2.3 upgrade on apache.org |
Date | Sun, 18 Jul 2010 10:08:29 GMT |
www.apache.org is now running trunk @ r965127, using the Event MPM on FreeBSD 8.1, on a new x86 box. Previously it was running on Solaris 10, with 2.2.x on sparc t2000s. I have also enabled OCSP stapling on the SSL side: <https://www.apache.org/> Anyways, I've made a list of the 2.3-ish issues seen during the upgrade. httpd itself: - Using the Define directive to enable SSL was a bad idea. The SSL init code was only being called once in post_config instead of twice This is only 'new' because the Define directive is new, so I tried to use it. Example of how it was used: <IfDefine MACHINE_NAME> Define SSL Listen 22.214.171.124: </IfDefine> <IfDefine SSL> LoadModule ssl_module .. </IfDefine> We do -D MACHINE_NAME at the command line, and I was hoping to just enable SSL from within the config file, but that didn't work. Adding -D SSL to the command line fixed the issue. - Lots of warnings in our configurations about "Ignoring deprecated use of DefaultType". - Infra already had lots of <IfVersion blocks for most 2.3 authn/z changes, and those seem to stil be working fine. 3rd party: - APR's detection of BDB was funky again, I had --with-dbm=db48, which it was happy about, but until I added --with-berkeley-db=/usr/local, it wouldn't actually compile up the shared objects for the DB DBM, but configure reported success. - mod_wsgi: Needed to comment out 2 lines debug logging, that were accessing server_rec->loglevel (which has been removed from 2.3.x). - mod_mbox/mod_allowmethods/mod_asf_cgi: Needed build system adjustments to not look for apr-util. Surprisingly painless upgrade after I figured out the mod_ssl config issue; Most of the work was around moving Solaris -> FreeBSD for our various rsyncs and crontabs, of course let infra know if you see anything busted! Thanks, Paul | |

The 2007 vintage is split in the Rhône, with the south far outpacing the north. Yet the north should not be overlooked, as many late-release reds from 2006 have helped improve my overall assessment of the '06 Northern Rhônes. Since my last report on the region ("Racy Reds, Rich Whites," Nov. 30, 2008), I have reviewed 1,030 wines in total, more than two-thirds of them from the Southern Rhône.

The hike up to Woodstock Tower is an easy 2.0 mile out/back walk suitable for most people, and the 360° panoramic view from the top of the tower is one of the best in the Massanutten range. The views west are of the north fork of the Shenandoah River, and to the east you look back through Woodstock Gap to the Shenandoah National Park.
If you're hiking with very young children, or hikers who are just starting out and may not be in the best shape yet, you can also park on the ridge at the pink blazed Tower Trail, which makes for a very easy 10 minute walk to the tower with no elevation gain. Note: Tower Rd from VA758 is closed in the winter.
From the parking area in the Little Fort Camping/Recreation area start up the white blazed Wagon Rd/Nature Trail and in 0.1 miles cross the wide yellow 'V' blazed Peters Mill Run Trail. Be cautious, as the Peters Mill Run Trail is open to ATV's. The white blazed Wagon Rd/Nature Trail is one of the few trails in the Woodstock Gap area that are closed to motorized vehicles.
After crossing the yellow 'V' blazed trail, continue on the white blazed trail as it becomes slightly steeper before making the first of two switchbacks in 0.1 miles. After the next switchback in another 0.3 miles, the trail is at it's steepest for the remaining 0.2 miles to the ridge and intersection of the pink blazed Tower Trail.
Turn left on the pink blazed Tower Trail and follow it along the ridge for 150 yards to Woodstock Tower. Woodstock Tower is one of the few in GWNF where you are still permitted to climb to the observation deck.
As this is an out/back hike, to return retrace your route back to the Little Fort Camping/Recreation area.

Quoting Xyrus2000: I think this has been a good start. We've watched him come up with other shapes on maps, for other events. I've watched this evolve, it's getting more detailed. The way that was done with the tornado out break was interesting cause I could scroll through & see it move & plumes explode within boundaries already outlined by rectangles. It's natural math & physics in shapes. It's partly what I've always imagined when forecasting...things tend toward patterns, like three cyclones in a row. Some people can see & do math on a way higher level with shapes & colors. I glimpse it, but far from fully grasp it. But what if one of these geniuses that fully gets it taught it to computers to use the big picture shapes & colors to simplify the runs so they could run that much more info for each model run? Even the text of the tutorial ends with questions. This is in no way trying to even sound like a peer reviewed idea. In the past here we've come up with ideas that have gone on to be others thesis or peer reviewed papers. It could be the next great thing in models or not.. I'd like to see it run it's course, he's not making any claims, not really trolling, they have all been done on maps where the lat/log are curved & I'm partial to the rainbow maps. There's getting to be a trend toward bashing people seeing things in clouds..shapes, demons, numbers..some of us will never be convinced that just because you don't see them that Sky ponies don't exist:) |

Users with a variety of disabilities can potentially benefit greatly from using the Internet to mediate their access to products and services. Design of accessible Web content is codified in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 1.0 of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Compliance with WCAG (and/or similar, derivative, guidelines) is now the subject of considerable activity, both legal and technical, in many different jurisdictions. Within this overall international context, this paper reports on a project to carry out an automated baseline survey of WCAG compliance of Web sites based in Ireland. Summary results are presented and discussed.
The technology of the Internet holds tremendous promise to significantly improve access to information, goods, and services for many people with disabilities. Properly engineering web sites can interoperate with dedicated assistive technologies to flexibly address a wide range of disabilities (W3C, 2001). This is not rocket science: the basic requirements have been internationally codified since 1999 in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 1.0 published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C, 1999), and more recently endorsed by the European Commission (2001) and the Irish National Disability Authority (2002).
WCAG defines three conformance levels: WCAG-A is a minimum standard which a site must meet to be considered accessible for any significant disability groups; WCAG-AA is a "professional practice" standard, which all sites should meet to be accessible to a broad range of disability groups; finally WCAG-AAA is a "gold standard" of maximum accessibility which some sites may choose to aim for--for example, sites with a particular remit to serve communities of people with disabilities.
Over the last two years, with the support of AIB PLC, a project has been underway at the Research Institute for Networks and Communications Engineering (RINCE) at DCU to investigate the conformance of the Irish web to the WCAG guidelines. Following the development of technical support tools, a detailed accessibility study of over 159 separate web sites operated by Irish organisations, spanning a wide range of activities, information, and services, was conducted in the Summer of 2002.
These sites were tested (using Bobby Worldwide) for a selected set of 25 separate characteristics, or potential defects, which are correlated with the WCAG guidelines. This set is not exhaustive: it cannot determine that any site positively meets the guidelines; but failure on any of these tests definitively demonstrates failure against the guidelines.
A comprehensive description of the study is available in (McMullin, 2002): the current paper presents only a brief summary.
Key Results
Of the sample sites studied:
- 100% failed to meet the professional practice WCAG-AA accessibility standard;
- At least 94% failed to meet even the minimum WCAG-A accessibility standard;
- At least 90% failed to meet minimal conformance with other generic technical standards for web interoperability.
Pervasive Defects
Of the 25 specific accessibility barriers studied, the most pervasive (at WCAG-A and WCAG-AA standards) were as follows:
- Use of rigid, "pixel perfect", display coding techniques (98.7% of sites). Many users with even moderately impaired vision need to be able to flexibly scale the display of web pages; however, almost all sites in this survey placed gratuitous technical barriers in the way of this elementary accessibility aid.
- Missing text equivalents for images (90.6% of sites). Many web sites rely on visual images to convey certain information, or to control interaction with the site. If so-called "text alternatives" are provided for these images, then the site can still be equally accessible for users who cannot perceive such images (Flavell, 2002). However, over 90% of sites omit this simple technical aid.
- Defective HTML coding (89.9% of sites). The global Internet relies on communication between millions of independently designed and built components. It can function effectively only if these components conform to precise technical specifications. Deficiencies in conforming to such standards reduce the overall reliability and usability of the network for all users (Zeldman, 2001); but they have a greatly disproportionate impact on users with disabilities, precisely because such users commonly rely on specialist assistive technologies. Site developers cannot explicitly test functionality against the large, and constantly changing, array of such niche technologies--therefore the only way to be confident about interoperation is to ensure that sites comply with all relevant technical interface specifications.
- Ambiguous or meaningless hypertext links (76.7% of sites). Hypertext links are the key mechanism for web navigation, virtually defining the distinctive web medium. An essential web technique is therefore the rapid scanning of pages for relevant links. Most users with normal vision can do this quite easily; however, users with reduced vision, or a variety of cognitive disabilities, find it much more difficult. A particular mechanism which can substantially compensate for such limitations is to extract just the links from a page, and present these for scanning in isolation. However, if the links are then ambiguous or meaningless ("click here", "more", etc.) then this mechanism fails, and the user must revert to much slower sequential scanning of the entire page text.
- Inaccessible online forms (69.8% of sites). Many web services rely on user interaction--on users submitting information (requests, orders, etc.) via online forms. Effective interaction with forms raises a variety of distinct issues for users with various disabilities, but careful design of the forms can ensure that they are accessible to the greatest possible variety of users. Unfortunately, almost 70% of sites fail to observe these design guidelines, with the result that users with disabilities will have difficulties completing forms correctly, or may even be unable to use the service completely. This tends to be a particularly prevalent issue for e-commerce sites--which, in turn, are sites which are potentially of unique benefit to users with disabilities which affect general mobility.
- Inaccessible device restrictions (69.2% of sites). Most users access the web with very similar equipment--some sort of visual display, a mouse and a keyboard. However, users with particular disabilities may be unable to use some of these effectively or at all. Specifically, many users with visual or motor disability cannot use a mouse; however, many web sites are designed so that certain interactions are available only via a mouse. Again, users with disabilities are abandoned to a degraded, or unusable, service.
- Inaccessible HTML frames technology (34.0% of sites). HTML "frames" allow a browser window to be divided into a number of separate frames or sub-windows, each of which can be loaded with separate information from the web site, and which can typically be updated, scrolled, etc., independently of each other. It is therefore a primarily visual concept, which potentially raises particular difficulties for users with visual disabilities. In fact, HTML frames is already an obsolescent web technology, due to a variety of intrinsic technical deficiencies (Engelfriet, 1997b). However, if a site operator still insists on using this technology, there are a variety of guideline techniques to minimise the additional burden imposed on users with disabilities (Engelfriet, 1997a). Unfortunately, a substantial number of Irish web sites do still use frames, and do so without implementing the appropriate accessibility techniques.
Of course, many sites exhibited a combination of these defects, and others. However, while this list identifies a number of pervasive accessibility barriers, it is by no means exhaustive. For technical reasons, many other potential accessibility barriers were not even considered in the current study: it is likely that at least some of these would be as pervasive as some or all of the factors identified above. In other words, bleak as the above picture is, it is almost certainly an understatement of the difficulties faced by users with disabilities in accessing the Irish Web.
This list may be a useful starting point for web site operators in considering the accessibility of their own individual sites: but it is, of course, no substitute for:
- a comprehensive accessibility audit against the complete WCAG guidelines (W3C, 2002);
- effective evaluation and testing with real users;
- robust embedding of accessibility practices into continuing web maintenance and development.
Recommendations for Action
The primary motivation for this particular study was to inform public policy development in Ireland. The recommendations below are therefore specifically targeted at the Irish national context; however, at least some of them should have wider relevance in other jurisdictions.
- Public Awareness:
- A web accessibility awareness campaign, targeted specifically at relevant policy and decision makers in both public and private sectors, should be an immediate priority. This should focus explicitly on the incorporation of accessibility requirements into all specifications, tender documents, etc., for web services.
- New Tools and Technologies:
- Organisations developing software and tools for web site development should ensure that these conform to relevant standards and guidelines for producing accessible contents and services. Organisations sourcing or evaluating new web development tools should make conformance to accessibility guidelines an essential qualifying condition.
- Leading by Example:
- A detailed timetable should be immediately published for all Irish Government Department Web sites to achieve WCAG-AA conformance. Reports on progress against this timetable should be issued regularly. A co-ordinated project to achieve conformance across the wider public sector should be centrally initiated and monitored. Private sector organisations should initiate similar comprehensive commitments to an accessible Irish Web.
- Education and Training:
- Training materials, courses, etc., relevant to universal design should be developed and promoted by the widest possible variety of organisations involved in education and training. Professional bodies should require that Universal Design be incorporated in the curriculum of all relevant educational programmes.
- Legislation:
- There should be clear Irish legislation setting explicit, comprehensive, and legally enforceable standards for accessibility of all Web products and services to users with disabilities.
- Further Research:
- Research and development of technologies to support social inclusion in the information society should be actively encouraged, and materially supported, by both public and private sector agencies and organisations.
This study shows that, despite Ireland's justifiable pride in its economic and technological development, despite very laudable goals in documents such as the E-Europe Action Plan (European Commission, 2001,2000), the current commitment to accessibility of the Irish web for users with disabilities is, at best, aspirational--and, at worst, cynically inadequate.
This is doubly unfortunate. It is not just that web technology is not being applied--as it could be--to positively improve opportunities and capabilities for users with disabilities; but on the contrary, as web services become more pervasive and essential, to the extent that they remain inaccessible this will actually impose progressively more disadvantage and exclusion on groups with disabilities in our society.
It is hoped that the results of this study will serve to highlight these issues, and to further encourage the many agencies and organisations who are already actively promoting and supporting voluntary improvements in web accessibility in Ireland. Ultimately however, there must surely also be a role for compulsion--legislation and regulation--to fully guarantee and vindicate the rights of all citizens to equal treatment in a digital democracy.

Secondly, the rainbow colors are eye-poppingly pretty. I've done two things with my spool of rainbow cord: Knitted I-cord with it using an Embellish Knit tool, and also some mini-macram� that I hung a stone pendant on. Both came out beautifully, and I direct anyone who asks where the pretty rainbow cord came from to Artbeads.com. The rainbow colors seem to also be sweat-proof, since I hosted a dinner last night wearing my mini-macram� pendant, and it was very warm so I sweated like a porcine creature, and my creation is none the worse for the wear.

South Carolina advocates for better health, lower health care costs and limited government have little to cheer about after Thursday's Supreme Court ruling upheld much of Obamacare.
Instead of providing real solutions, the law simply hides our problems from public view by pouring hundreds of billions of government subsidies into a broken health care system allowing Washington to declare "victory" while continuing to ignore the real health challenges facing Americans.
The Supreme Court ruled that, as constructed, the individual mandate was technically unconstitutional, but then simply renamed the "mandate" a "tax" and let it stand -- the only bright side being the public now knows the mandate for what it is: one of the largest federal tax increases on the middle class in recent U.S. history.
And while some see victory in the court's ruling that the federal government cannot force states to expand our Medicaid programs, it still leaves us with the status quo -- a broken, one-size-fits all program that will spend almost $6 billion next year in South Carolina while undeniably failing to improve the health of our people.
To hear Obama tell it, all it takes to be healthy is a Medicaid card.
If that were true, South Carolina should be one of the healthiest states in the nation, as almost one in four South Carolinians received Medicaid last year. But it's not true -- in fact, far from it. We are currently ranked 46th.
Yet year after year individuals, employers and taxpayers pour more and more into health care services.
Every dollar more a family spends on health care is a dollar less spent on something like a mortgage or a college fund. Every dollar more an employer spends on health care is a dollar less spent on hiring, pay raises and investment. Every dollar more spent by the state on Medicaid is a dollar less spent on other needs like education, infrastructure, and tax relief.
And somehow Obama wants us to expand Medicaid ever more, adding more than 500,000 people in 2014, an expansion that means almost one in three people in South Carolina would receive government-run health care.
The price tag to South Carolina taxpayers? An extra $1.1 billion to $2.3 billion over the next six years.
We simply can't support this. We are not going to jam more South Carolinians into a broken program, a program that stifles innovation, discourages personal responsibility and encourages fraud, abuse and over use of services -- and that, by the way, costs us billions of dollars.
The good news is that in South Carolina, in spite of most provisions of Obamacare, we are working with employers, hospitals, private insurers, doctors and patients on the real problems that affect the health and well-being of South Carolina. Instead of just pouring money into Medicaid we've been working to change the way we deliver care in our state.
This includes investing in primary care and patient centered medical homes, serving more individuals living with disabilities in their homes rather than institutions, focusing on key health problems, such as infant mortality, reducing Medicaid administrative costs, encouraging payment reform and holding Medicaid health plans and providers more accountable for performance. If taxpayers are going to foot the bill, they deserve real results.
But the president and congressional Democrats have shown time and time again they simply don't believe that states should be trusted to govern themselves. They believe in a one-size-fits-all federal approach that favors Washington special interests and Washington bureaucrats.
We couldn't disagree more. We believe the only way to real health reform is through local action, on the ground, that empowers patients and their doctors.
It's why we support block grants that hold the state accountable for improvements in health, but free us from useless federal red-tape. It's why we will continue to lead the way on physician and hospital payment reform, birth outcomes improvement and cutting administrative costs. And it's why, in spite of last week's ruling, South Carolina will continue to lead the ongoing national fight against Obamacare.
Nikki R. Haley is governor of South Carolina. Anthony Keck is director of the state Department of Health and Human Services.

Modular containers
A modular is a container for one or more EJB containers. An EJB server manages and coordinates allocation of EJB application resources, J2EE naming functionality, communication with remote resources, etc. A modular container manages the actual EJBs including their lifecycle, object pooling, security, transactions, etc. The modular container is all about concentrating user transaction requests into a shared database. The application server is the modern TP monitor, and the EJB is where the transactional interaction with the database happens. Find information about modular containers and how to properly contain transactions in a shared database.

Woman Identified in Avila Beach Fatal Crash
AVILA BEACH, Calif. - The Fresno County Coroner's Office reports Denise Snyder from Los Osos was the woman killed in Sunday night's car crash in Avila Beach.
The California Highway Patrol is looking for any witnesses, following that crash.
Investigators went back to the crash site to search for any evidence, clues, or items left behind from Sunday's deadly accident.
CHP says 44-year-old Denise Snyder was driving north on Avila Beach Drive just after midnight. When she passed Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort, her 1985 Chevrolet pick-up truck, for unknown reasons, veered off the road. It hit a small tree, then a power pole, before going down the embankment. When officers arrived Snyder was pinned inside the truck against a large tree.
"The solo occupant was trapped inside the vehicle and was extricated by fire personnel," said Officer Laura Browning, San Luis Obispo, California Highway Patrol.
Snyder was then transported to Sierra Vista Hospital.
"It was determined her injuries were so significant she needed to be transported by helicopter to Fresno Community Hospital," said Browning.
Snyder died at a Fresno Hospital. Officers are now trying to figure out what happened.
"We're hoping that maybe somebody is familiar with the vehicle, or may have saw some of the driving patterns prior to the traffic collision," said Browning.
CHP says it's too early to know if speed or alcohol played a factor in the crash. Anyone with information about the collision is asked to contact CHP at (805) 593-3300.

The Miley Cyrus nude picture released earlier today is bogus.
Well folks, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the Miley Cyrus nude picture that we reported on earlier is in fact fake. Sources have revealed that the girl in the alleged Cyrus cell phone photo is a look-a-like (19-years-old) from London.
I bet Billy Ray Cyrus is experiencing an enormous sigh of relief as the last thing he wants is for his daughter Miley Cyrus to be naked all over the internet. Not to mention the poor guy is going through a divorce at the moment.
While the first post 18 Cyrus scandal has been averted, I would keep my eyes peeled for a Miley Cyrus Playboy shoot in the near future. You know it is going to happen at some point in time. Either that or Miley will end up with LiLo in rehab.
For now all of you perverts will just have to wait until the day that the Hannah Montana star you all know and love takes the plunge into full on nudity.

The cast of "Enlisted" is preparing for Super Bowl XLVIII in the most appropriate way possible — by dancing. When you think grown men shoving each other and throwing a ball down a field, don't you also think booty-shaking?
Zap2it has an exclusive video featuring the platoon members perfecting their touchdown dances just in time for the big game — and the football-themed episode of their FOX comedy, "Homecoming," airing Friday (Jan. 31) at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
In "Homecoming," Pete (Geoff Stults) and Jill (Angelique Cabral) are forced to set aside their differences and lead the platoon in a game of flag football against the Marines, who are slightly more athletically skilled than they are.
To get into the football spirit, watch the platoon members do the sprinkler and spike some balls. Who do you think has the best touchdown dance?

thinkinkless.com was sporting a super simple page that just read "back later..." for the last few weeks. The ill-advised test install of a drupal 7 pre-alpha version I loaded up last summer finally blew up, and today I finally did something about it. Porting all the old posts over was - well - superfun.
Now we're legit, and using git!
it's that time of year again... do you belieb?
happy V.D. suz
welcome to the new and improved thinkinkless.com -- upgraded yesterday from drupal 5 to drupal 7. ok that's enough talking for today.
we really do love them all (mostly)

Michael Jackson died. Within 24 hours we built and launched a custom application for him that lives on a cloud. It gets about 100 posts per minute. As of this moment the app contains 347,144 memories from Michael Jackson fans worldwide... and a crapload of spam. and a lot of posts from disturbed individuals.
I heart the Jackson 5 on vinyl.
ps this is the first thing not Drupal I have worked on since i can't remember when.
We have a pile of global sites now - many more to come...

PA President Mahmoud Abbas at the UN 370 (R).(Photo by: Lucas Jackson / Reuters)
PA: There's no going back on decision to go to UN
By KHALED ABU TOAMEH
Abbas spokesman denies reports that PA president considering delaying the Palestinians' bid to upgrade their UN status.
The Palestinian Authority Saturday denied that PA President Mahmoud Abbas was considering postponing a
request to the UN to upgrade the status of a Palestinian state
Nabil Abu Rudaineh, spokesman for Abbas, said that the decision to present the Palestinian request to the UN this month has been taken by the Palestinian leadership and the Arab countries.
He pointed out that the Palestinians circulated over the weekend a
draft proposal
of the statehood bid to the UN.
"The decision has been taken and there will be no backtracking on it," Abu Rudaineh said. "We will go the Un to ask for a state within the 1967 borders with east Jerusalem as its capital."
Abu Rudaineh said that the Palestinians would be ready to resume peace talks with Israel after obtaining the status of non-member in the UN.
"After obtaining the UN resolution, the Palestinian people would be ready for negotiations on final-status issues including Jerusalem and the refugees," he told the Ramallah-based Al-Ayyam newspaper.
"Either a Palestinian state is established within the 1967 borders with east Jerusalem as its capital or there will be instability in the Middle East."
The denial came after unnamed Palestinian officials told a number of Arab media outlets last Friday that Abbas was considering delaying the statehood bid until January 2013 to give US President Barack Obama time to launch his second term in office.
Chief PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat also denied what he termed "rumors" suggesting that Abbas was contemplating postponing the statehood bid.
Erekat said that reports about a possible delay were "test balloons" launched by Israel against the PA leadership.
Erekat's remarks came during separate meetings with the consuls-general of Spain, Belgium, Sweden and Britain.
Erekat urged the EU to vote in favor of upgrading the Palestinians' status at the UN to non-member - a move which, eh added, would constitute victory for peace, democracy, freedom and stability.
Nabil Sha'ath, a top Fatah official, Saturday accused the US and Israel of "threatening and blackmailing" the PA leadership over the statehood bid.
He said that the US was threatening to cut off financial aid to the PA and close the PLO office in Washington while Israel was tailing about withholding tex revenues belonging to the Palestinian government in the West Bank.
"These are illegal, unjust and immoral threats," Sha'ath said in comments published by a Saudi newspaper. "No country is entitled to deprive our people of their right to self-determination and the declaration of a state," he added.
Last Friday, the PA distributed among UN member states a draft resolution for upgrading the status of a Palestinian state although no date has been set for a vote in the General Assembly on the Palestinian application.
If approved, the resolution would "accord to Palestine Observer Status status in the United Nations system, without prejudice to the acquired rights, privileges and role of the Palestine Liberation Organization as the representative of the Palestinian people, in accordance with the relevant resolutions and practices."
The draft resolution says that the PA is committed to the "two-state solution" and expresses the "urgent need for the resumption and acceleration of negotiations within the Middle East peace process to achieve a just, lasting and comprehensive peace settlement between the Palestinian and Israeli sides that resolves all outstanding core issues, namely the Palestine refugees, Jerusalem, settlements, borders, security, water and prisoners."
A letter from the PA observer mission attached to the resolution asks UN members to support the "enhancement of the status of palestine in the United Nations to be considered by the General Assembly at a date to be announced in the near future."

It's press day here in Las Vegas, and Vizio has thrown down the gauntlet at this year's International CES: The company's newly announced Reference Series televisions are well-equipped to pursue the title of "best TV ever."
The boldly named "Reference Series" is an unexpected entry for the California-based company, which typically specializes in value sets like last year's award-winning E Series. The new high-end lineup includes a pair of 4K sets that purport to be the "largest, best-looking, best-sounding TVs in the world." But Vizio hasn't stopped there. Following along is the P series, which brings some of that UHD tech down to the masses.
Reference Series
The Reference Series will be available in 65- and 120-inch versions, and seeks to set a new benchmark in picture quality and overall value. Vizio touts advances like high dynamic range, true 10-bit color, a six-core processor, and an integrated 5.1 speaker system—and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
The UHD Reference Series will be HEVC/HDCP 2.2 and HDMI 2.0 compatible, meaning these TVs are fully ready to display native 4K content. But Vizio also promises a "superior upscaling engine" to make sure Full-HD 1080p footage looks good, too. So far, no pricing or availability has been announced.
P Series
The more flexible P Series will be available in 50-, 55-, 60-, 65-, and 70-inch varieties. Each model offers 4K UHD resolution, featuring full-array LED backlighting, the V6 six-core processor, a 960 "clear action rate," and Vizio's VIA (Vizio Internet Apps) Plus smart platform.
The P Series TVs will also come with Vizio's two-sided QWERTY remote, and boast strikingly modern designs with narrow 8mm bezels and a metallic finish. Like the Reference Series, the P Series TVs allow for five HDMI inputs.
The best thing about the new P Series, though, is the pricing. Vizio has announced that the 50-inch P Series UHD TV will be available for $999, the 55-inch for $1,399, the 60-inch for $1,799, the 65-inch for $2,199, and the 70-inch for $2,599.
Vizio Internet Apps
The new Vizio Internet Apps Plus is the company's fourth-generation smart platform. The platform has been engineered to put the most popular apps, like Netflix and Amazon Instant Video, within immediate reach of a single button-press on the two-sided QWERTY remote.
VIA Plus includes a wealth of hot new apps like Spotify, Plex, and Baebelmusic, as well as HTML 5 support for all included software. Apps have been designed to support UHD streaming, as well—HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) is included within the smart TV hardware.

FrontRunners: Time Is Money
<< Back to Robb Report, November 2007
November 1, 2007
In 1957, Piaget introduced its ultrathin Caliber 9P, a hand-wound mechanical movement measuring only 2 mm thick. To underscore its accomplishment, the Geneva watchmaker crafted a watch with the movement that was slim enough to be housed in a partly hollowed-out $20 gold coin. The company recently reissued the Caliber 9P and placed it in a limited series of Altiplano pocket watches (see "Pocket Protectors") and in the Piaget secret case-spring coin watch (www.piaget.com). Piaget will produce only 20 of the 0.14-inch-thick coin watches, 10 set in 24-karat-gold dollars and 10 in yuan. Both types are priced at $18,000 each.

Braised Veal Tongue
Author Notes: Tongue, when well prepared, is a most delicious and moist meat. It's a muscle covered by a thick skin that is easily removed after blanching. Then you cook it slowly with vegetables until it's very, very soft. This dish is braised. I like to serve it with a slight modern twist - I purée half of the braising vegetables, and serve the tongue with this purée, whole braising vegetables and blanched string beans. —Maria Teresa Jorge
Serves 6
- 2.5 pounds veal tongue
- 5 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 medium sweet onions chopped finely
- 2 garlic cloves chopped finely (remove inner green part)
- 6 sprigs fresh parsley with stalk
- 8 small carrots, peeled and sliced medium thick
- 2 celery stalks
- 2 leeks – white part only
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1/3 cup white wine
- salt
- pepper
- string beans blanched to serve
- Clean the tongue under cold running water - scrub the skin of the tongue thoroughly, then with a knife scrape any residues.
- In a pot of boiling water, cook the tongue for 3/4 hour, covered.
- Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: Slice the leeks and wash very well. Drain and set aside. Peel the carrots and cut in medium thick slices. Set aside. Wash the celery stalks and cut in thin slices. Set aside. Remove the inner green part of the garlic and mince finely.
- After 1 hour of blanching the tongue, discard the water, allow the tongue to cool and remove the skin – you just peel it off easily (see photo uploaded).
- In a large pot with a tight fitting lid, add the olive oil, the onion and garlic and fry until translucent. Add the carrots, celery, leek, parsley and stir well.
- Stir in the tomato paste and white wine, allow the alcohol to evaporate and add the blanched tongue. Add boiling water to come to ¾ of the height of the meat. When boiling again, reduce heat to minimum, season lightly with salt, and cover with lid. Let simmer for 1 hour or until the meat is very tender. Turn the tongue over every 15 minutes and stir the pan so the vegetables don't stick to the bottom.
- When the meat is cooked, remove and cut in medium thick slices. Cover and keep warm.
- Discard the parsley, divide the vegetables in half. Put half in a blender and process with 173 cup of cooking liquid, until you have a smooth purée. Adjust the cooking liquid if the purée is too thick, it should be a creamy consistency. Check seasoning.
- Put the purée on a warm serving dish, put the slices of tongue over the purée and add the remaining whole vegetables around.
- Serve immediately with blanched string beans.

The television newswire was abuzz last week with the hiring of two new SNL funnywomen, Jenny Slate and Nasim Pedrad, but as it turns out, they're not there to up the vagina quotient on a show that has always been Mostly About The Men. No, Slate and Pedrad are replacements for last year's new ovary-hires, Michaela Watkins and Casey Wilson. And I suppose I should be saying something now about how insulting it is that women aren't considered funny (thanks a bunch Chris Hitchens) and that there appear to be designated lady-spots on the cast of SNL – the 2009-2010 cast will contain just four inner-gonads havers.
But as I was trying to build up the requisite head of steam to write such a piece, I found I couldn't, for once, muster the outrage. See, I wish I had something super-intelligent to say about either Watkins or Wilson, but let's face it: at the best of times, I'm a casual SNL watcher. And just for fun, ask yourself this question: do you know ANYONE who watches Saturday Night Live faithfully anymore? I mean, absent complete boredom of a Saturday evening I can't imagine forcing myself through an entire live broadcast. Hortense at Jezebel used to have people sit up and join in a thread, but once Tina Fey gave up Sarah Palin's ghost last fall there was little appeal in it anymore. So I can't help but feel, somehow, that it's a compliment that few women are "funny enough" (scare quotes intentional) to be regular SNL cast members these days. It's sort of like that time in my eight-grade gym class when the girls were made to watch the boys play basketball so that we'd "learn something." Oh, we did, and that lesson was: bumping the ball with your knees does not count as dribbling.
Let me venture a theory here: like every cultural "authority" in the age of Facebook and YouTube, SNL has suffered because there are now a hundred things out there one could compare it to. You want funny, women- entric humour in short, bite-sized pieces? Sarah Haskins is just a click away. You don't want to watch another dick joke? Fine, don't rent that Will Ferrell movie on iTunes.
There is something profoundly liberating about living in a world like this, where one viral video could redefine funny in a way that SNL only dreams of. I've never been one for the faux-empowerment high of doing art that no one will ever see; I'm too much of a believer in the affirmative action of successful communication to let high culture bear all the burden of representativeness and boundary-pushing. I keep harping on this in these pixels, the expansion of the American imagination strikes me as the quickest and easiest way to convince people of the old sawhorse that stands as just about the only article of faith all feminists agree on: that women are human. I can't, therefore, be too sad when I see funny women starting to pull ahead in media outside the old SNL paradigm of being Anointed By A Dude As The Next Big Thing. It's nice to see us able to take charge.
Don't get me wrong. I do think that funny dudes (and the dudes who produce their television shows and movies) ought to be taking a look in the mirror (oh yeah I'm looking at you Judd Apatow) and saying to themselves: how am I structurally excluding women from this industry? Is my demographic really the only one entitled to define what's funny? Is my scatological humour really all that clever or (ahem) fresh? Should I not be challenged by other people in order to be funny? But absent their doing so – and I think Lorne Michaels, for example, is a little too old and set in his ways to make this kind of leap of faith and build a new audience – I'm not sure there's too much to worry about semi-moribund entertainment institutions having trouble keeping up with the ladies. We're doing all right for ourselves.

People were talking about The Guild at the last two social gatherings I've been to:
I am pretty geeky, but still . . I don't play online RPGs, but still enjoy it. It's written and produced by Felicia Day, and exactly half the main characters are female, in spite of the usual invisibility of female geeks in our culture. SNL should just cancel SNL and put The Guild on instead.

Brava, Michelle! Having watched men of dubious "talent" soar to fame and fortune on the basis of being part of this particular bro-hood (Jimmy Fallon, anyone? Why why?!) I am pleased to see the net opening up the opportunities for exposure for funny women. Now, if only it also paid them. Sigh -- a longer range problem, but one that will get sorted out somehow.
Anonymous replied on
Saturday Night Live launches and propels careers, and the recent surge of sitcoms around women on NBC is the result of SNL.
We wouldn't have 30 Rock or Parks and Recreation were it not for SNL. And, without the success of Tina Fey, we probably wouldn't have the upcoming show from Kelly from The Office.
I think in this case, since you don't like SNL you don't appreciate why it's important women are on it. Just like someone who it's partial to math or science doesn't understand (or value) the importance of women in those fields.
Why do women can't be funny?
Agata replied on
Why do women can't be funny? Because most of them believe that they are always first and foremost an object to be observed. Their talents, well that's not really that important.
Men are subjects with needs and desires, women are objects to be desired. Men feel entitled to police women's bodies in all settings because as objects women exist for their viewing pleasure. So, it's even easier to be and to look glamorous and sexy than to train the fantasy and be funny.

Earning a Master requires two years of education after earning a Bachelor. This advanced degree may help students to achieve their educational and professional goals, as the rigors of a Master's program help train students in the skills and knowledge they need to land the career of their dreams.
The United States of America is a large country in North America, often referred to as the "USA", the "US", the "United States", "America", or simply "the States". American colleges are funded by "tuition" charged to the student, which is often quite expensive, very commonly reaching into the tens of thousands of dollars per year.
