2012 Breeding Confirmed on Norwich Cathedral Spire
The peregrine falcons using the nesting platform installed by the Hawk and Owl Trust on the spire of Norwich Cathedral have laid their first egg of the season.
A male peregrine first appeared at the Cathedral a few years ago and was then joined by a female. The Hawk and Owl Trust installed the platform in February 2011 to give them somewhere to nest. The birds started to use it immediately and hopes were high for successful breeding in 2011 but the female was then driven away by a larger juvenile bird. Although the juvenile female was not expected to breed because she was too young, she surprised everyone by laying an egg but it did not hatch successfully.
Staff and volunteers at the Hawk and Owl Trust and Norwich Cathedral have been waiting for the new breeding season in 2012 to see if the peregrines manage to lay eggs this year. The peregrines have been present at the Cathedral all winter but in a new twist to the story it now appears that the falcon that has laid the egg is too old to be the juvenile female from last year. Perhaps the original falcon has returned or it is yet another female.
A third peregrine has been seen trying to visit the platform over the last couple of days. This bird is a large female with some brown in her grey plumage, perhaps the juvenile from last year now moulted into adult plumage.
The Hawk and Owl Trust will be running a watch point at the Cathedral where the public can view the birds through telescopes during the Easter holidays starting on Saturday 31st March from 10am. Anyone interested in volunteering to help at the watch point should contact the Hawk and Owl Trust on 01328 856788 or sign up via the website here.
Visitors to Sculthorpe Moor Community Nature Reserve can enjoy a cup of coffee and watch the peregrine webcam in the visitor centre as well as images from other cameras around the reserve. The reserve is open every day except Mondays and the visitor centre is open from 9am until 4pm.
The Cathedral Peregrines project has been generously supported by Archant, ContiTech UK, iCode Systems, Lady Hind Trust, LVS-Imas Ltd, M and A Partners, Opticron, SIMM Conveyor Services Ltd, Syngenta Ltd, WildSounds, WiSpire by FreeClix and in memory of the late Mr. Ray Rogers of Norwich.
This is a clip of the falcon laying the first egg.
This is a clip of the first visit by the male after the egg was laid.
There was close consultation with the Cathedral's estates manager and architect to ensure the fabric of this historic building was not damaged.

New Delhi, Nov 27: Zee News Tuesday night vehemently denied all allegations of extortion levelled against it and described the arrests of two of its senior journalists as a "crude and direct attack on the freedom of the press".
Sudhir Chaudhary, head of Zee News, and Samir Ahluwalia, head of Zee Business, were arrested by Crime Branch of Delhi Police Tuesday following the registration of an extortion case about 45 days ago on a complaint by Congress MP Naveen Jindal's company.
The channel accused the Jindal Steel and Power Limited, owned by Congress MP Naveen Jindal, of "using state machinery, controlled by the Congress party both at the centre and Delhi, to muzzle voices of dissent and interfere with the legitimate rights of the Media to divert attention and cloud its illegalities and misdeeds which these editors in the channel sought to highlight in public interest , highlighting the corruption in the coal gate scam after being indicted by CAG, and being investigated by the CBI."
In a statement, the company said: "After over 65 years of independence, now the present Congress-led government is pushing media not to say the truth and gag its mouth. It is practically Emergency revisited in India today on Nov 27, 2012 (this will be known as another black day in Indian History).
"While the matter is sub-judice before the Hon'ble High Court of Bombay, to circumvent the judicial process and the orders of the Hon'ble Mumbai High Court, the Delhi police at the behest of its Congress MP orchestrated arrests of two Senior Editors of Zee News Channel, Sh Samir Ahluwalia and Sh Sudhir Chowdhary, on the basis of a fraudulent and contrived complaint filed on behalf of his company Jindal Steel and Power Limited.
"The arrests have been made to sensationalize the issue and lend a cover to the coal-gate scam and in particular to favour of Shri Naveen Jindal, Congress MP and his company M/S Jindal Steel and Power Limited."
"This is a crude and direct attack on the freedom of the Press."
"The FIR registered against the two Editors and others, is nothing but a clever attempt to divert attention from its own role in the scam. The channel vehemently denies all allegations levelled against it.
The channel strongly condemns the arbitrary and illegal action of Delhi Police in arresting its two editors and for initiating a malicious, illegal and motivated prosecution. We wish to reiterate that no offence has been committed by members of staff," the statement said.

Director James Toback usually power-lunches at the Harvard Club on West 44th Street. But in school he was on the A-list at Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage in Cambridge. "It was the spot," Toback says of the Massachusetts Avenue meat mecca, where classmates Al Gore and Marty Peretz had a standing table. "I ate lunch and dinner there every day. Or, lunch and dinner and a 'mid-afternoon burger.' " The lucky few were ordained with their own sandwiches. "It was Swiss cheese, American cheese and blue cheese melted onto a burger," Toback said of "the Toback Burger" while eating sensible sushi at the Harvard. At Mr. Bartley's, ordering wasn't necessary. "Our eyes would meet, and the burger would be on the grill," he says of his connection with the short-order chef, the way Karl Malone might reminisce about John Stockton. But Toback's burger was later retired."When I stopped my regular patronage, I was weeded out," says the director of the upcoming doc "Seduced and Abandoned." Burgers on Bartley's current menu include the Joe Kennedy III and the Skip Gates.

Knowledge management systems allow you to tame the waves of data flooding your business to streamline training, customer support and other vital operations. We've written this buyer's guide to help you narrow down the many options on the market and find one that fits your needs.
Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Knowledge Management Software?
Why Do I Need It?
The Benefits of Organizing Company Data
Common Features of Knowledge Management Software
Pricing and Purchasing Options
Basically, this kind of software transforms the raw data accumulated by a company into useful information. It accomplishes this goal by collecting data in a central knowledge base, contextualizing it and making it easily searchable, so that users can find the information they need on their own.
These applications help a company to build and maintain a knowledge base, which is essentially a specialized database that can be searched and browsed by customers. This allows customers to find answers to their own questions before they contact support agents.
Modern knowledge bases are generally components of company websites, with either intranet or extranet access. Many software packages allow you to customize the design of your customer self-service portal so that it fits with your brand. Employees can write content to publish in the knowledge base. The articles can then be indexed in popular search engines for easy access.
Knowledge bases can also be created for internal use, to assist employees with functions such as document sharing, training and resolving support calls. Employee self-service features can interface with other kinds of customer relationship management (CRM) software in order to optimize the performance of support agents.
The day-to-day activities of even a small business can produce a bewildering array of data. If this data remains unorganized, it isn't worth much to the company. By using software to organize this data, companies can vastly reduce the time that employees spend searching for answers to questions about their jobs and dealing with customer inquiries.
Enterprises and certain markets—particularly IT, telecommunications and finance—practically demand the use of knowledge bases to survive in the information economy. Small to medium-sized businesses can use them to eliminate cluttered filing cabinets and to help ease the transition to a paperless office.
Knowledge bases also have the potential to streamline training processes for companies facing growing pains. And companies that are contending with a high-turnover rate may want to utilize one in order to keep awareness of best practices alive and to ease the responsibilities of trainers.
Knowledge management software offers a diverse array of features. The following table lists some of the most important ones to help you focus your search:
|Publishing options
|Look for formatting options for content such as rich text, hyperlinks and images. Workflow customization options can streamline content generation, as does the ability to publish emails directly to knowledge bases by CC'ing them to a special address.
|Decision trees
|Many knowledge management systems can help you create "Q&"-style decision trees, which enable customers to troubleshoot their own issues.
|Advanced search and browse options
|Look for search filters, auto-suggest capability, natural language search and search engine indexing options. Intent-based search, which matches keywords to common reasons why users search the knowledge base (e.g., how to clear a paper jam in a printer), is another powerful feature included in many knowledge bases.
|Feedback options
|Your knowledge base should have built-in feedback options that allow users both to vote on the relevance and helpfulness of articles and to add comments when necessary.
|RSS feeds
|Many knowledge bases feature RSS feeds to keep users on top of new and useful articles.
|Self-service portals
|Self-service portals or help Web pages for customers and employees are a major part of the foundation for knowledge bases. Make sure that your portal can be customized to fit your brand and the design of the rest of your company's website.
Almost all customer service-oriented businesses can benefit from organizing their data for employee and customer access. Benefits include:
There are two basic market trends that you need to understand to make an informed purchase: inclusion of knowledge management applications in integrated CRM suites and the Web-based deployment model.
Integrated suites vs. "best-of-breed" systems. Knowledge management tools are frequently bundled, along with other applications, as part of an integrated CRM software suite. If you choose an integrated suite, consider whether the other applications in the package meet your needs. If you choose a standalone or "best-of-breed" application instead, you will need to ensure that it integrates with your existing software, such as your customer service, help desk automation and call center automation solutions. Here are some frequently requested applications among buyers we recently surveyed who chose an integrated CRM suite:
Integrated-Suite Buyers' Top-Requested Applications
Web-based vs. on-premise systems. CRM software can be licensed to users in two different ways: Web-based (meaning, the software is hosted in the cloud and accessed online using an Internet browser) or on-premise (installed on your company's own servers). The Web-based deployment model, or "Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)," is generally more popular for CRM software, and is priced according to a monthly subscription model. With an on-premise model, on the other hand, you get a perpetual license—meaning you pay the licensing fee once for ongoing use of the software.
Pricing scales up based on functionality. No matter which package type and deployment model you choose, if you want a richer feature set, you can generally expect to pay more for the software. You may have to pay for an enterprise-level subscription to create and maintain a fully featured knowledge base on a large scale:
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

Earlier this morning, we featured a chart from baseball statistician Bill Arnold that listed Orioles' executive vice president Dan Duquette's lifetime record at an impressive 930-786.
That winning percentage places him fifth among the men who held the general manager position (or similar duties) for the 30 MLB teams in 2012.
Pretty impressive. Frankly, it was better than I realized.
But if you dig a little deeper, the numbers could be even more eye-popping.
Duquette left Montreal and joined the Boston Red Sox in February 1994. So the Expos tremendous run that season -- 74-40 before labor unrest ended play in August -- does not get credited to Duquette. Instead, on his record is a 54-61 mark by a Red Sox team he took over just before spring training.
You flip those numbers and you get a .554 winning percentage lifetime for Duquette, which would be good for fourth on the chart.
Also, in 2002, Duquette was fired on the last day of February after assembling that season's squad, which would end up posting a 93-69 record in the regular season. If you want to get real creative, and give Duquette that record too, he ends up with a .556 winning percentage. That just edges out Theo Epstein, who replaced Duquette in Boston, for third overall among current GM types.
The numbers don't have to be massaged too much. Point is the teams with Duquette at the helm have had winning records in nine of 11 seasons (the chart erroneously had 12 seasons). Those two losing clubs were the 1997 Boston Red Sox (78-84) and 1994 Red Sox (54-61), who he inherited in February.
Overall, four of Duquette's nine non-strike shortened seasons have totaled 92 or more victories, including the 93-win campaign for the Orioles this year.
Just some more numbers to chew on in mid-November.

Geoff Pietsch has a pet peeve while driving on Interstate 75 — the traffic signs stating the distances to Gainesville, he believes, exaggerate the distance.
"Clearest example: South of Micanopy is a sign saying 5 miles to Micanopy and 25 miles to Gainesville. Yet Gainesville is, of course, only 11-12 miles beyond Micanopy," Pietsch wrote in an email to The Sun.
"I believe the state's explanation/excuse is that they are giving the distance to downtowns. But that doesn't wash since downtown Gainesville is nothing like 8-9 miles from I-75 — unless one were to go all the way to the 39th Avenue exit," Pietsch wrote.
Well, that is indeed the explanation from the Florida Department of Transportation, which sets the distances and erects the signs.
District DOT spokeswoman Gina Busscher said the agency's guidelines are to measure the distance to county courthouses or city halls.
"Another requirement is that we use a route with the fewest turns and the closest interchange to the courthouse/city hall, which is the State Road 26/Newberry Road (Exit 387)," she said. "Probably using Williston Road would shave off a few miles but it is not the most direct route (you have to turn off Williston Road to Main Street and then to University Avenue)."
Busscher added that her office was asked about the issue a few years ago. The mileage was double-checked and was correct.

Chrono Cross
Oh I guess you do have a point but I stumbled upon the solution accidentaly. When I got the spell itself and I tried to use it, it just wouldnt do anything, my reaction was like "wtf is this supposed to do". I googled it and I found out that it was only useful in the last boss.
Life's too short to play games that aren't amazing me.
Grim is right. Life is too short to chain yourself to a game that feels like a chore.
I'm usually careful with which games I buy so up to now there's only 3 games I've never finished.SO4 - I have a save at the last boss and I've never really wanted to finish it. I just lost any desire to do so.ES - This game suffers from cutscene-itist. I can only give so many fucks about Chopin, and they wanted more than I could give.FFXII - Same thing as SO4, last dungeon with everything else done. I just don't care about the last minute villain and don't see why I even want to beat him up. I was hoping that Larza was the real villain because that would have been completely awesome.
VP's ending pretty much holds the cake for being really hard to figure out. Since it's like, dependent on EVERYTHING YOU DO.

Sorry -- my comments are all negative. I was never very impressed with Paul's (lack of) ability to sculpt. I always wish I had a Dremel in hand when viewing one of Paul's dolls. He has no idea how to sculpt a credible human eye. He needs to learn anatomy. I recommend he take a class before he sculpts another freak like this.

Why Big Bang was not present at Golden Disk 2008 and facts of award ceremonies these days
Fans were puzzled and doubtful about 2008 'Golden Disk Award', which was said to be based on album sales, that artistes Big Bang and Seo Taiji who achieved the 2nd and 3rd highest album sales for the year did get an awards.
Here's explanation why…
The BonSang winners for 2008 Golden Disk Award that took place on 10th December were Dong Bang Shin Ki, Rain, SG Wannabe, Kim Dong Ryul, ShinHwa and Brown Eyes.
Big Bang's 3rd minialbum 'Stand Up' were said to have sold over 149,000 copies as recorded on HanTeo (album sales tabulation site). And also for their 2nd official album 'Remember', it has recorded a total of 112,000 copies sold. So all in all, in this year, Big Bang had brought in about 260,000 over album sales.
It has been revealed that the judging criteria for the GDA BonSang award has 60% based on album sales from December last year to November this year, 20% based on popularity votes and 20% on the committee's evaluation.
And Big Bang's popularity vote was at #3 after Dong Bang Shin Ki and Son Ho Young as of 5th December.
But still, Big Bang was not awarded any award for GDA. Why is it so?
It has been revealed on Golden Disk Award homepage that "Winners will not be awarded their awards if they are absent for the award ceremony." The sponsorships to GDA has made it clear that no matter the artiste's popularity and album sales, if they are not present for the award ceremony, they will not receive their award.
So with this, it was not true that 'Big Bang cannot receive the BonSang' but rather 'Big Bang did not receive the BonSang'. Because Big Bang was not present for the award ceremony.
Big Bang's company YG Entertainment was not considered on good terms with the Golden Disk Award committee. And that's the reason why Big Bang did not attend the ceremony.
It is the same case for singer Seo Taiji. He sold more than 137,000 copies for his 8th album first single 'Atomos Part Moai'. But he was not present for the award ceremony.
There has been many cases like these in the past where stars who were present at the award ceremony were mostly those who would receive an award. Even though there are many deserving stars for the nomination, because they did not fulfil their 'loyalty' to the award by not attending the award ceremony, they did not receive the award.
The award ceremonies has taken the trend of 'attended stars = winner stars'.
Hopefully with this, fans from different artistes group will understand the situation and bring an end to any animosity.
Peace out. ^^

GDragon confessed having nightmares fearing DaeSung would leave Big Bang behind
Big Bang leader G-Dragon has confessed about he had nightmares after fearing that fellow DaeSung, who has been active on TV program 'Family Outing', will really go away.
G-Dragon said on the episode of KBS 'Sang Sang Plus Season 2′ set to air on 23rd December that he had envied fellow member and also one of the long-time star appearance on SBS 'Good Sunday - Family Outing' DaeSung.
He said, "In my dreams, I dreamt that DaeSung, caught in between the Big Bang and 'Family Outing' members, has without hesitation chose 'Family Outing' members over Big Bang members. I was afraid that he would leave us."
He also said that he found it disturbing that DaeSung, who would talk to him softly and comfortable in their normal conversations, would shout "This is DaeSung~!" in the 'Family Outing' episodes where he is waiting for his call before departure in the waiting room.
G-Dragon even give an example of how their president Yang Hyun Seok has been jealous of DaeSung on 'Family Outing'. Because of his busy schedule, sometimes DaeSung will not be able to answer calls during filming, including that of Yang Hyun Seok. There was once when DaeSung had called back again, Yang Hyun Seok had said, "You would definitely pick up Yoon Jong Shin's call but will not pick up mine".
Anyone know where I can join a BB fanclub? Like those forum ones for international or just for North American. I'm pretty much sure they have one too right?

After 'Sunset Glow', it's SeungRi's solo activities with 'Strong Baby'
Big Bang's Seungri to begin solo activities in earnest
On the 23rd, Big Bang's management company YG Entertainment announced that "Big Bang will continue its promotional activities for 'Sunset Glow' until the end of the year, at which point Seungri will begin his solo activities with 'Strong Baby' from the group's second album," adding that "through his solo activities, fans will be able to see a more provocative and mature Seungri that they've seen before, and not just Big Bang's maknae."
'Strong Baby' is a new pop-style dance song written by G-Dragon in collaboration with Bae Jillyeol, the composer of Bi's 'Rainism,' and is Seungri's first solo song in more than two years, following 'The Next Day' from Big Bang's third single album, released in 2006.
As soon as his solo schedule was decided on in November, Seungri began preparing, creating the choreography for the song himself and working to sculpt his body through training and managed eating. Recently, he finished recording the music video along with G-Dragon.
YG says, "Seungri's solo activities will follow upon G-Dragon's producing, Taeyang's solo album, Daesung's trot single and TOP's collaborations with Gumi and Uhm Jung Hwa in showing the musical abilities of the each individual member of the group," adding that fans "can expect a particular level of preparedness from Seungri."
Seungri's first solo performance is scheduled to occur on SBS's 'Gayo Daejeon' on the 29th.

After SeungRi will be leader GDragon. He will take some time off for rest together with the other members after their concert in January and February. After which, he will start his solo activities.

This will be great news for fans, because even though we will have to wait to the 2nd half of year 2009 for Big Bang's group activities, we will still get to see member's solo act in the first half of the year.
"Strong baby" banned from KBS
SeungRi, who started his solo activities with 'Strong Baby' on 3rd January has been given the red light to perform on KBS Music Bank.
The song is allowed to be performed on MBC and SBS, but news of the ban from KBS came late.
The reason that KBS gave was the word 'crack' in the song. The dictionary meaning of 'crack' is simply to break and, but KBS stated that it has also associations to drugs in it.
YG Entertainment then refuted by saying the word in the song is meant to be the word 'clap', and insisted that there has been some misunderstanding of the song lyrics. They insist that there is no hidden meaning to the lyrics.
But it is in YG's policies to not change the songs' lyrics even if they apply for KBS to reexamine the case to allow for the song to be performed.
YG Entertainment said, "If you look at the word 'crack' in the context of the lyrics, there is no associations to drugs at all."
"We are looking to request for KBS to reexamine the case but we do not intend to change the lyrics also."
But it looks like YG will have to give up having SeungRi to perform on KBS.

Wyoming Cowboys Win 4th Straight Border War
Brett Smith threw for 235 yards and 4 touchdowns, ran for another, and the Wyoming Cowboys won the 104th edition of the Border War over rival Colorado State 45-31 Saturday at War Memorial Stadium. The victory marked the fourth consecutive win in the series for the Pokes for the first time since 1970-1973.
A 99-yard interception return for a touchdown by Sophomore Cornerback Blair Burns with 3:27 left in the first quarter turned the tide. Both teams had scored on their opening drive, and with the Rams driving, Burns picked off a tipped pass on 3rd-and-goal and went the other way. It was part of 21 straight points for UW and a 28-7 lead early in the second quarter. Burns return t-d was sandwiched between two Smith touchdown tosses to Brandon Miller and Robert Herron, of 16 and 9 yards, respectively.
Senior Defensive Lineman Mike Purcell (seen holding the Bronze Boot) of Highlands Ranch, Colorado said, "It's absolutely huge (to win this game). The team understands, and even the Freshmen this year, how big of a game this is to face that team down south. This game's always gonna be a close game, a tough one. We came out, we wanted a little more, and we kept that boot in Laramie."
Wyoming (2-7, 1-4) led 28-14 at halftime and built that lead to 42-17 on a 5-yd touchdown run from Smith and a 3-yd touchdown pass from Smith to Dominic Rufran. After a Stuart Williams 31 yard field goal, CSU scored twice in the final quarter to close the gap. When the Cowboys got the ball back with 6:48 left, they chewed up the clock thanks to their run game. They picked up four key first downs and didn't give the Rams another chance.
Cowboy Head Coach Dave Christensen said, "This game's about more than our football team. This game is about the State of Wyoming, the University of Wyoming, the fan base for UW, every player that's ever played in the game and every athlete that has ever gone through here and competed against those guys. It's big, and the best thing is that "The Boot's" gonna remain here for the fourth straight year. That's huge in our program."
UW's first score was a 26-yard Smith to Chris McNeill t-d pass. The Rams answered 11 seconds later on a 75-yard scoring pass off a deflected ball.
The Cowboys won with one of their most balanced offensive efforts of the season. Of UW's 468 total yards of offense, 240 yards went through the air and 228 yards were pounded on the ground. Colorado State (2-7, 1-4) finished with 512 total yards, which included 387 through the air.
Christensen also said, "Does it make everything else okay, no. But, for tonight, those kids are going to feel like champions."
This is Wyoming's first win at War Memorial Stadium of the 2012 season. UW will continue conference play at New Mexico on Saturday, November 10. Kick off is set for 1:30 p.m. with coverage starting on KOWB at 12:30 p.m.

GREENCASTLE — Through four innings, Greencastle was well-positioned to play spoiler in Tuesday's Franklin County American Legion League baseball game against McConnellsburg.
And then, as they have too many times this summer, the untimely mistakes began to mount.
By committing three two-out errors, Greencastle watched a previously tied contest vanish into an 8-3, McConnellsburg victory, bringing Post 373's season to a close in difficult fashion.
With the win, McConnellsburg booked a date against Fayetteville tonight in a one-game playoff to decide which team will represent Franklin County in Saturday's Region IV tournament.
Of Post 561's eight runs, five came across following an error, including four of McConnellsburg's final five in the fifth and sixth to pull away late.
Early on, Greencastle appeared poised to exchange blows, taking an early 1-0 lead before McConnellsburg answered with two in the top of the second and another in the third.
A sacrifice fly from Ashtin Byers drew Post 373 to within one in the home half of the third prior to a leadoff double and stolen base by Eli Englehart followed by an RBI-groundout from Wayne Kline knotting the game at 3-3 in the fourth.
With two outs in the top of the fifth, a routine fly ball was dropped in fair territory, allowing Kyle Scheon, who had reached on a double, to score all the way from second for a 4-3 McConnellsburg advantage.
Back-to-back doubles by Zane Baker and Jesse Swope extended Post 561's lead to begin the sixth before consecutive put outs seemingly had Greencastle in position to keep the deficit at two.
A catcher's interference and a pair of McConnellsburg singles ensued, with both being misplayed in the outfield, suddenly transforming a potential bases-loaded situation into a five-run deficit.
Despite getting men on in both the sixth and seventh, Greencastle was unable to rally, ultimately finishing the season at 7-13 overall.
Kurt Hansen accounted for three of Greencastle's six hits on the day with Hunter Szaflarski and Elijah Webster also contributing singles in the loss.
Baker paced McConnellsburg with his 3-for-5 performance, including two doubles and a triple.
Casey Wade picked up the pitching victory, going six innings while allowing five hits and two earned runs.
Kline was credited with the loss, although only three of McConnellsburg's six runs scored during his five innings of work were earned.
Today's winner-take-all contest between Post 561 and Fayetteville, who beat Waynesboro 5-0 in a playoff on Tuesday, will begin at 6 p.m. at Greene Township Park in Scotland.

i got a problem as follows: i use two sound devices: onboard & creative sb audigy. the audigy is connected to an 5.1 system, onboard plays on a headset. after booting up the system, everything works fine, sound comes from where it should. i configured mpd to play music with /dev/dsp and /dev/dsp0 simultaneously. as i said, after booting, its all fine. if i pause the music and continue it, the audigy-output "crashes"... no sound/music, but all cracking and dizzling, just noise. output to onboard sound still works.
its the same with every other sound-needing application, no matter if flash oder a video or something else.
i should mention, that i previously used a creative sb x-fi music, which i replaced by my old audigy because of the better support under linux.
oss restart doesnt help, only a restart helps, whats quite strange...
i hope anybody can help!

In the recent aftermath of an apartment building fire in Raleigh, NC, it is a good time to remind our residents at our apartments in Glen Allen, VA how very important it is that you have renter's insurance to protect your belongings as well as obtain liability coverage through renter's insurance in case an act of negligence causes damage to your building or others' belongings. So many of the residents who were displaced due to this fire did NOT have renter's insurance and lost everything in the fire. Here is some great information about renter's insurance:
What is Renters Insurance?
If you rent your home, having insurance protection for yourself and your possessions is still important. Similar to home insurance, renters insurance protects you in situations that everyone can face: fire, theft, water damage and other unforeseen circumstances your landlord's policy doesn't cover.
Renters insurance typically provides coverage, up to the limits you select, for specified items and situations, including:
- Personal property (furniture, electronics, computer equipment, clothing, etc.)
- Personal liability if someone is hurt, whether in your home or away from it
- Damage to your apartment or home caused by a covered loss
Imagine going to dinner or a special family get-together, and when you return home, you're greeted by the flashing lights of police cars and fire trucks. Building fires and damage can happen anytime, anywhere, but with proper renters insurance, your personal property inside your apartment will generally be covered if it's affected by any of the following:
- Fire
- Smoke damage
- Theft
- Collapse of the building due to weather
- Water leakage or overflow
- Freezing of plumbing, air conditioning and more
Renters insurance will protect you from incidents that occur while you're at home, too, such as a toaster catching on fire or a friend slipping and falling while visiting you. Renters insurance provides coverage for your own items, and it provides coverage for other people's injuries or damages in situations for which you're liable, as well.
You can't rely on your landlord's insurance to cover your valuables - landlord insurance only covers the building structure and not your personal property.
Renters insurance, sometimes referred to as an HO4 policy, can provide the financial protection you need in case your possessions are destroyed or stolen, as well as liability protection if someone is hurt in your dwelling.

The good news is that, overall, Americans have fewer cavities now than they did 20 years ago. The troubling reality is that how many fewer cavities Americans have depends on several factors.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics released a report on May 31 that highlighted the oral health disparities evident throughout the country. This report, based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for 2005-2008, shows that 25% of children ages 5-19 living below the poverty level had untreated cavities compared to only 12% of their counterparts living at 200% or higher of the poverty level. Adults ages 20-64 living below the poverty level had a much higher rate of untreated cavities (42%) than did adults in the same age range living at 200% or higher above the poverty level (17%).
According to this data, income is a major factor when looking at someone's oral health. People living at 200% or higher above the poverty level are more likely to have the money to visit the dentist regularly for preventive care as well as restorative care – having cavities filled, teeth extracted or getting dentures, for example. People living below the poverty line often have a hard time making ends meet and putting food on the table. Visiting the dentist and oral care are often seen as luxuries they cannot afford.
Other causes of these disparities include access to dentists and oral health education. Dentists opening an office need to be located where the patients are in order to generate the income needed to support their practice. If there are no patients there is no income to pay employees, pay office space rent, buy equipment or pay the electric bill. Because of this, dentists are less inclined to open new offices in rural, low population areas. A rural county with few residents will be less likely to have an available dentist than a bustling city with many potential patients.
Education is an important factor in oral health. People who have been to the dentist have often been taught about oral health and the need for brushing and flossing twice a day, visiting the dentist every six months and limiting the intake of sugary foods. Someone who has never been to the dentist may not have been taught these basic steps for caring for their teeth.
In light of these findings, the question becomes, "What can be done to close the gap?"
East Carolina University School of Dental Medicine (SoDM) is dedicated to closing that gap in North Carolina. The vision of the SoDM, whose inaugural class began in the fall of 2011, is to improve the health and quality of life of all North Carolinians by creating leaders with a passion for service and by leading the nation in community-based, service learning oral health education. One part of the solution to closing the gap is the opening of ten Community Service Learning Centers (CSLC) in rural, underserved areas across North Carolina. Fourth-year dental students and residents will work side by side with faculty dentists to offer comprehensive oral care for the communities in which they are located. Services offered at the CSLCs range from x-rays and cleanings to filling cavities, extractions and a full range of general dental care.
The first of the CSLCs to open is the center in Ahoskie, NC, located next to the Roanoke-Chowan Community Health Center. The two facilities will serve as a "medical home" for their patients. As a "medical home" they will provide comprehensive medical and dental care for their patients in a central location. The Public Health Department will also be working with the partners to provide publicly funded transportation for those patients in need.
The ribbon cutting for the Ahoskie CSLC will be on June 28, 2012.

Armed Officers in Local Schools [POLL]
Could police officers soon begin patrolling the halls of your child's school?
In light of last month's tragedy in Connecticut, officials in Somers Point have put together a program where police officers will soon begin to patrol all of the city's public, private and charter schools.
The schedule is tentatively set for an officer to be at the schools between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
According to the Press of Atlantic City, which had a reporter present when the announcement was made on Thursday, a patrol car will also be stationed outside of each school.

My favorite quotes are of course, anime quotes. Here's one of my favorites, and brownie points to the person who guess who said it!
"Summer is about to end soon. Seasons change from one to another, as if it were always that way. Have you ever thought of how lonely that was? I think about it...because I am the same as a falling leaf that feels the changing of seasons. Just like how the seasons continue to pass by without pause, people pass on and change. That is how anything living on this world should behave."

John has completed an Associated of Applied Science degree in Respiratory Therapy from Great Technical College, a regionally accredited technical school. John earned 64 credit hours in his AAS degree, 6 of which are equivalent to some of CSC's general studies requirements.
Just before starting at Great Tech, John had attended State U, a regionally accredited university. He attended for just one semester and earned 15 hours, 12 of which were upper division. The remaining 3 were lower division electives, but they match some more of CSC's general studies requirements.
Finally, before he attended State U, John had also attended a regionally accredited community college where he earned 12 credit hours. All of these hours were also approved by CSC as acceptable general studies courses.
This is how John's transfer looks.
To complete the degree, John needs to complete 19 credit hours of general studies and 33 credit hours of upper division courses, for a total of 52 credit hours. The total of 85(transferred), plus the 52 he still needs, satisfies the 125 credit hour minimum necessary for degree completion.
The next step is for John to work with his advisor to choose his remaining general studies and upper division courses. Taking classes part time, John should complete his Bachelor of Applied Science degree in 2 to 3 years. By choosing several courses in business, management, communications, or psychology, John is on his way toward eventually moving into a supervisory or leadership role at his company. And, he did all of it online.

PHILADELPHIA—A whistle-blowing worker testified Thursday that she saw more than 14 babies born alive at a Philadelphia abortion clinic, capping a month of prosecution evidence in her former boss's capital murder trial.
Prosecutors chose Kareema Cross as their final witness before resting their case against Dr. Kermit Gosnell. Cross said she saw more than 10 babies breathe, with their chests moving up and down.
"I thought they were breathing," testified Cross, 28. "He would say they're not really breathing."
Cross also described seeing three babies move, one after being born in a toilet, and heard a fourth give a "soft whine." Gosnell explained the movements as a last reflex amid the death process, she said.
Under defense questioning, Cross said she had seen a baby move after its neck had been snipped, and after it had been given a drug meant to stop its heart. Defense attorney Jack McMahon challenged her on the statement and will no doubt pursue it when he asks a judge Monday to dismiss the charges for lack of evidence.
Gosnell, 72, is charged with killing seven babies allegedly born alive, and with causing the 2009 overdose death of a patient. McMahon denies that there were any live births at the Women's Medical Society and blames the 41-year-old refugee's death on preexisting medical conditions.
Investigators call Gosnell's mostly-cash clinic a "pill mill" by day and an "abortion mill" by night, and say he made millions during its 30-year operation.
Cross, who worked there from 2005 to 2009, grew so disturbed that she took photos and called authorities, although she gave a relative's name.
A 2011 grand jury report blasts state and city officials for failing to inspect or shutter Gosnell's busy clinic in West Philadelphia. A 2010 FBI raid over Gosnell's distribution of OxyContin and other painkillers ultimately led to its closure. It was unclear whether Cross's complaint spawned the investigation.
But her testimony encompassed many of the allegations in the lengthy 2011 grand jury report, which led to charges against Gosnell and nine employees.
She admitted that she studied only to be a medical assistant but performed ultrasounds, gave anesthesia drugs and helped perform abortions.
She said she routinely saw Gosnell abort babies who were past the state's 24-week abortion limit. She said staff left late-term patients alone on the clinic's second floor after they'd been given painkillers and potent drugs to induce labor, and said some even stayed overnight unattended in a makeshift bedroom.
She said Gosnell and others snipped the backs of the babies' necks after they were born "to ensure fetal demise." And she described the clinic as filthy and the equipment as outdated.
One of her photographs, shown to jurors on a large screen, showed specimen jars containing the feet of aborted fetuses, which Gosnell said he kept for DNA purposes. Another showed "the largest baby she had ever seen" aborted at the clinic.
The jury has seen the disturbing picture before and heard from the teenage mother who was asleep when the baby was delivered. The gestational age has been estimated by some trial experts to be nearly 30 weeks.
In a line the jury also heard before, cross recalled Gosnell saying, "The baby's big enough that it could walk to the store, walk to the bus."
Gosnell cut its neck, then put the boy in a container the size of a shoe box, Cross testified. She said the baby drew in its arms and legs and curled up inside in a fetal position.
"After Digoxen and having its neck cut, you're telling the jury that you saw the baby moving?" McMahon asked heatedly.
"Yes, it was," Cross insisted.
Cross has pleaded guilty to federal drug charges for administering medications at the clinic, and she hopes to get probation for her cooperation. Several of her co-workers, and onetime friends, face long prison terms after pleading guilty to third-degree murder in the patient and infant deaths.
Cross acknowledged that she was in the midst of a falling out with Gosnell when she called authorities. They were arguing over her maternity leave and her attempt to file for unemployment.
"It goes to motivation and bias," McMahon said.
The trial resumes on Monday.

put (something) straight
To straighten something out or make something properly arranged; to fix, correct, or make amends for something. There are a few details in this contract we need to put straight before I'm ready to sign it. Tom's brother really made a mess of things with the company, but there's still time to put things straight. Sorry I can't come out with you tonight, I've just got to put my marriage straight before I can think of doing anything else.

Glucosamine is needed to form glycosaminoglycan and hyaluronic acid molecules which are the main constituents of joint cartilage. It is the joint cartilage that is damaged from osteoarthritis. Glucosamine supplements may help protect joint cartilage by limiting the breakdown and helping to build up levels of cartilage. Glucosamine has been shown to stimulate chondrocytes (cartilage cells) to support cartilage and collagen. Glucosamine also enters the joint space and is incorporated into proteoglycans, which are cells that form large structures and attract water to the joint space for lubrication of cartilage during movement. When Glucosamine is taken as a dietary supplement, it may help to relieve the pain, stiffness, and swelling of osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disorder that affects 12% of the population. In addition, rheumatoid arthritis sufferers also report improvements with glucosamine supplements. There is no natural food source of glucosamine, however, the shells of crabs, shrimp and oysters do contain it, and this is the source of most of the glucosamine supplements.
Studies have shown that chondroitin sulfate is a compound that appears to block the enzymes that can destroy essential cartilage tissue. Chondroitin supplements have become a popular for the treatment of osteoarthritis because combined with glucosamine it has been shown to be very effective. In fact, some studies point out that it is as effective as aspirin and other NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) at relieving arthritis pains and of course with much less risk of causing stomach bleeding or ulcer formation. Thousands of people die a year from taking these NSAID medications.
In the mid-1990s, scientists discovered that chondroitin supplements are actually well absorbed and because of promising follow-up research in people suffering from osteoarthritis both the American College of Rheumatology and the European League Against Rheumatism were prompted to recommend chondroitin in their published guidelines for osteoarthritis treatment. Both chondroitin and glucosamine are much safer to take than medications such as aspirin or NSAIDs. The glucosamine and chondroitin found in our products are pure and natural.
