HERZLIYA, Israel, March 14 (UPI) -- Syrian President Bashar Assad is preparing to use chemical weapons against civilians and rebel forces, the head of Israeli military intelligence said Thursday.
Maj. Gen. Aviv Kochavi, addressing the 13th Annual Herzliya Conference, cautioned that Assad has not yet ordered the use of such weapons, Haaretz reported.
With rebel forces controlling much of the country, Kochavi said Syria should now be viewed as two countries.
He said Hezbollah and Iran have been working with Syrian forces to bring stability to the regime. Hezbollah fighters killed in the fighting have been buried in secret so their identities won't be revealed, Kochavi said.
In other comments, the intelligence chief said Iran does not expect an attack by the international community on its nuclear facilities "in the foreseeable future."
The weight of sanctions could eventually change Iran's decision about the facilities, Kochavi said, but had not yet done so.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights said it documented 105 deaths from violence throughout Syria Thursday, including 19 children and eight women.
The report said 32 people were killed in and around Damascus, the capital, 22 were killed in Homs, 12 in Daraa, nine in Aleppo and seven in Raqqa.

Thats funny... I swear it was reloading on me when I last used it. Now its blazing as hell fast... Maybe because that was its first run? Hmm thats a good thing I guess.. Anyway sorry for the trouble. My Opera preferences show the same as yours for that bar, NSW. Every 5 hours.
Ahwell, now I don't mind changing over. Another question; is there a way to change the order of the toolbars at the top of the page? Because I tried looking in the options, but other than changing their position within the page, I couldnt find a way to change their stacking order. Something like this:
(in Opera)
to become what I have in FF, where topmost is address, second are links and last are the tabs.
Thanks all, and sorry bout the trouble. If I can't change it in Opera, no worries, its something I can live with.

Go into Appearance, any of the tabs, it doesn't matter which. From there you can drag toolbars around and set them up how you like. Just click the address bar for example, keep it held, and drag it up to move it.

Its more of a workaround but use the main bar to replace the address bar.

I've been thinking of making the move to Opera since Firefox uses up too much resources for my taste. I've heard it uses about the same amount as Firefox, but I'd just like to have some feedback before I stick with Firefox.
I've disabled several settings said to help with memory usage, but they have only slowed it down. I'm still getting memory leaks, and I'd like to find something that's more "stable" in that sense. So, any feedback is appreciated.

Hmm, I guess I've decided to stick with Firefox for now. At all times I usually have 5-8 tabs open, and none of them are heavy on images or flash. What my problem probably is is that I have a few sites I look at heavy on the youtube videos and can have some larger images, so they're probably being stored in my RAM for later use. Unless I find a browser that clears up RAM periodically, I guess I'm stuck with Firefox as my best choice.

Um, Opera doesn't leave anything resident in ram, not even after viewing things on GoogleVideo or YouTube. If Firefox does then it kinda sucks I guess. Generally you'll be looking at 30-50mb RAM usage during normal browsing (could be different in v9.0 though, i'm still using 8.5 for now). I have about 800mb of free memory at all times, dropping to maybe 750 with opera running, but it's straight back to 800+ after closing opera.
If FF leaves stuff in memory then it has issues and I wouldn't use it if you paid me.

Opera scales its RAM usage to take advantage of the unused RAM on your system. When a system has scarce RAM, Opera tries to use as little as possible. However, since most systems have lots to spare, Opera will use that RAM in order to speed up the browsing speed by caching more information. The philosophy is that unused RAM is a wasted resource.
In other words, Opera will run slower on less RAM and faster on more RAM. Rely on it to scale back its usage when other programs need more memory.

FYI: anyone interested in switching to Opera might want to wait until v9.01 or something.
While Opera 9 is supposed to pass the Acid 2 Test, I was actually able to build a site
that doesn't work well at all on Opera 9 [and only Opera 9, even v8.5 works fine...]
Essentially it involves some pretty weird bugs with frames & basic http authentication.
However, this does mean that random other sites might also start to act weird if they
somehow trigger the same bug.
If you encounter a site with content that doesn't want to load, you might want to either
downgrade back to 8.5 or wait for a bug fix...

Opera 8.5 works perfectly for everything that I've tried so far. V9 is only just released so it's still missing a lot of support on various sites (I can't log into my bank account using that version for example, which is the main reason I'm sticking with 8.5 for a while).

I can post a pic that shows opera using 22,376k and firefox using 33,124k, both with four tabs opened. However, I won't because it doesn't prove anything. Your pic doesn't either. The memory usage of a web browser can be manipulated pretty easily. With a few seconds of trying I was able to get both firefox and opera above 40 mb of ram usage, which is higher than either normally use on my system. Normally, I'd let this go, but don't post a misleading pic then accuse people of lying.

I've been a user since Opera 5, and I am continually appalled at all the convenience this browser has given me ever since. I do admit that Opera 9 is much heavier than ever on the memory. In the transition (8.5 -> 9), memory usage seems bigger but then the performance remained the same. All the features seem to make it an excellent web package. It has IRC, Mail, RSS, and now Widgets, all amazingly packed into a binary so small it boggles the mind.
I also use Firefox since back when it was still named Mozilla Firebird. This one seems to be more compliant to some websites I frequent. When Opera doesn't display the page correctly, I fire the Fox and it shows it right. This is practical comparison though. Opera seems to be browser standards leader. The reason that some sites break in it is because of poor web coding (trying to comply to IE standards as well). Firefox also gives me neat extensions that it almost gets addictive. I install and try so many of them, the browser starts to get bloated by that time.
Opera has the strength of being an all-in-one browser, while Firefox has the power of extensions. User opinion can go both ways depending on the user's needs:
- A mainstream user may see Firefox to be just IE with tabs, and opt to take their browsing one step further with feature-rich Opera.
- Another mainstream user may find Opera visually boring, and may opt for the Firefox browser that arguably looks and feels almost like IE, but with tabs.
- A semi-techie user may love the whole Opera package whenever they feel that installing lots of Firefox extensions (just to make it work their way) become too troublesome.
- Another semi-techie user may love the seeming endless possibility of Firefox extensions, and would say goodbye to inextensible Opera.
- A hardcore user will appall Opera because their uber l33t webpage displays just the way it was programmed to be.
- Another hardcore user will appall Firefox because they can modify the code all they want and install those neat extensions that will terraform the browser into an ultimate internet machine.
IMO both browsers are as good as it is, no need to compare which is more efficient because both are efficient enough (only a matter of tens of megabytes). Be thankful that both are free, one is open-source, and the other has high-quality development. What do you see in IE now? Beta 1... beta 2... beta 3...

This 1939 postcard shows Blackhawk's original 1913 structure in
dark red brick, with its 1920s annex before a massive 1940s
addition. By the 1920s, many power companies only erected
sheds to house power equipment. Because of its earlier brick
structures, Blackhawk bucked this trend, and owners Wisconsin
Power & Light continued adding to the original brick structure.
The dam in the foreground was used to generate electricity at
different points, but the plant mainly used coal.
Some of the things we take for granted were once emerging technologies or seemingly bizarre new inventions. Take electricity, for instance. One hundred years ago, fledgling power companies had to urge a reluctant populace to use power.
A Milwaukee-based power company even produced a pamphlet called "The Electrical House that Jack Built." Its pages touted the convenience of toasters, coffee pots, and lights—all to the familiar cadence of the nursery rhyme.
In another early scheme to generate demand for electricity, a distributor in the city of Beloit offered to attach service wires to residences free of charge.
Meanwhile, the Beloit Water, Gas & Electric Co. was starting to burn coal to generate power from a modest-sized plant along the Rock River. It was 1913, and the small utility was part of a patchwork of enterprises bringing electricity to the city of Beloit, but not yet into surrounding rural areas.
But this unassuming building, one of the college's closest neighbors to the west, would not stay small nor remain quiet for long. As the region's appetite for power woke up, caught on, and then grew beyond anyone's wildest expectations, it would expand not once, but twice. At points in the 1940s and '50s, this cavernous plant would employ 55 men and burn through a railroad car of coal about every 90 minutes.
As pivotal as it became in fueling the region's growth, the Blackhawk Generating Station, and many plants like it, are obsolete as power stations, though their monumental structures often remain in urban landscapes.
With its glory days behind it, Blackhawk's long-term fate was once far from certain. But soon after current owner Alliant Energy decommissioned the station in 2010, the college and the utility company started dreaming of pressing this century-old building back into service.
Last October, the college signed award-winning, Chicago-based Studio Gang Architects to lead a design for adaptive reuse of the building to become a one-of-a-kind college recreation and activity center. A three-year agreement with Alliant is expected to transition the Powerhouse to the college by 2017 if funds are raised and details come together.
Before it goes from coal-burning power plant to sustainably designed student recreation center, we look at how this mighty plant figured into the past and the ways that it is already capturing the imagination of students.
Muscle power
At the height of its productivity, the Blackhawk Generating Station made a low humming sound as it pushed electricity out to a ravenous power grid. The seeds of its expansion were sown in 1925, when Madison-based Wisconsin Power & Light Company bought the independent riverside station in part of a statewide consolidation that opened access to more extensive transmission lines.
Most powerhouses like Blackhawk are located along valuable
waterfront real estate, which made it easier to receive shipments
of coal and access plenty of water used for cooling purposes. This
railroad track spanned the Rock River, bringing coal from points south.
After one expansion to the building in the 1920s, a massive construction project in the mid-1940s brought the structure up to its current footprint, which measures 350 feet by 120 feet. It added a towering smokestack and doubled the plant's energy producing capacity—what the company called its "muscle power."
Blackhawk was responding to demand for power that corresponded with the country's shift from the Great Depression and wartime conservation to post-war prosperity and stepped-up consumption. It and one other power station in Sheboygan are also credited with providing the energy infrastructure for central Wisconsin's post-World War II industrial expansion, paving the way for companies like General Motors and Fairbanks Morse Engine Company to grow and prosper.
By the 1940s—between the growth of industry and increasing consumer demand—no one needed nursery rhymes to promote electricity.
In fact, Wisconsin Power & Light customers doubled their demand for power between 1940 and 1950, and company records note that 53 new industries started up in Blackhawk's service territory between 1944 and 1945 alone.
A newly upgraded Blackhawk station opened its doors to the public
in 1950. Dates had to be extended to accommodate the thousands
of citizens who wanted a tour.
And Blackhawk, which employees had named for Chief Blackhawk—the famed Sauk Indian warrior who fought the U.S. Army to defend his Rock River Valley turf in the 1830s—was preparing for an era of growth.
In 1945, Wisconsin Power & Light started the ball rolling on more than $7 million in construction and equipment improvements at the plant. Five years later, the plant was upgraded and ready to show off to a curious public.
At an open house in the fall of 1950, more than 6,000 people from the Beloit community put on their Sunday best to visit Blackhawk. Guides with megaphones led tours of the spotless, newly expanded station, with its shiny new twin turbine generators, boilers, and complicated control panels. In black-and-white photos, the place looks like the set of a mid-century science fiction movie.
A special section of Beloit's newspaper celebrated the opening. One ad from the Peabody Coal Company saluted the project with a pun: "More power to you for creating one of the country's finest and most efficient electric generating stations."
The thought of burning so much coal may raise carbon-conscious eyebrows today, but at the time, Blackhawk was recognized for effectively using coal, which came to Beloit by train from places like Southern Illinois. After it was unloaded and conveyed to a bunker, coal was pulverized to the consistency of talcum powder for maximum efficiency. That powder was burned in Blackhawk's furnaces to convert water to steam, which spun turbines that generated electricity, sending it first to a transmission station across the road, and then to points beyond.
As a student living in Haven Hall, now college trustee Gene Zeltmann'62 remembers hearing "an extraordinary racket" near campus every morning around 7 a.m. Zeltmann, who went on to lead the New York Power Authority, knows his way around a power plant. He suspects he was hearing the sound of the day's coal supply being unloaded from train cars.
Students of other eras recall hearing noises from the plant, too, or noticing a coating of coal dust on the building's windows or on snow surrounding the plant. At one point, a student allegedly developed a comic strip for The Round Table featuring a super hero who lived in the Powerhouse. Others may have been too busy to notice Blackhawk, or to realize just how big it is, since the heft of the building is only revealed from the opposite side of the Rock River.

photograph from 2012. Photo by Zane Williams.
The smokestack, however, is hard to miss, and over the years, it has been fraught with meaning.
When the major expansion of the late 1940s was underway, and the smokestack started taking shape against Beloit's skyline, it quickly became a point of pride and a symbol of the area's industrial progress.
But according to a 1986 history of Beloit, published by the Beloit Daily News, the stack later served a different purpose: It reminded people of their broader concerns about the environment.
This was during the environmental movement of the 1970s, and Wisconsin Power & Light had already launched a clean air initiative, adding cleaning technology to all of its coal-burning power plants, including Blackhawk. At the same time, the plant started using gas as its fuel source instead of coal.
Because of its age, Blackhawk started becoming costly to operate, especially compared with newer, more efficient plants that were coming online. Eventually, it began to wind down its operations.
Between 1999 and 2000, most of the Blackhawk employees were transferred to the Rock River power plant north of Beloit, and for the next decade, Blackhawk was only called on to produce power in the winter as needed. By 2010, it was finished: decommissioned.

Powerhouse as teacher
Before the Powerhouse starts a new life, more work needs to be done, not least of which is site remediation, fundraising, and a final agreement with Alliant Energy. The architects are expected to present schematic designs in April. But a slight holding pattern in the project's forward motion has done nothing to stem the curiosity of Beloit's faculty and students about the building, the site, and its context in the city's industrial and natural history.
From economics to biology, art to creative writing, the Powerhouse has already become the focus of Beloit classes and projects, large and small. What's more, an anonymous donor gave the college a gift last fall that designated $20,000 toward placing four students to intern with the architects.
In a cross-disciplinary class that integrates art and art history with the natural sciences, Jo Ortel used the Powerhouse to teach students about art's potential to engage with substantive problems. The Nystrom Professor of Art History developed and taught Contemporary Art in an Age of Global Warming last fall, with the Powerhouse as the location for student-designed, functional art installations.
Ortel's students explored the work of seminal environmental writers and artists before identifying the issues they wanted to address. Their projects focused on raising environmental awareness, remediating soil, filtering gray water, and restoring native plants.
Individual student proposals included plans for reducing the building's water runoff through an ingenious use of existing metal tubing studded with plants for phytoremediation; a proposal to bring light into the building's dark basement via Dale Chihuly-like glass sculptures that transport natural light from the main floor; and several different landscape designs that would ameliorate coal ash pollution at the site by incorporating specific, native plants with roots that work, also through phytoremediation, to cleanse and stabilize soil toxins.
Students tested the feasibility of their projects by consulting with science faculty, considered the ethical implications of their plans, and presented their final ideas to an audience of college leaders and their peers.
All of the students' projects were shaped in some way by a desire to preserve the building's industrial history and context through art and to educate visitors about its past.
"My students really responded to this building," Ortel says. "It became clear that they wanted to put these projects into play."
For her part, Emma Koeppel'16, a teaching assistant in Ortel's class, sees the 225 feet of shoreline north of the plant as a rare opportunity to bring people and nature together in an urban environment. Her project restores a waterfront landscape of native grasses and flowers on the grounds and advocates for re-routing the existing riverfront bike path through the site.
"Because it is so close to Riverside Park, the outdoor space can be used by campus and community members, and it is on the Rock River, one of Beloit's key natural features," Koeppel says.
Powerhouse workers pose for this undated photograph. A digital
storytelling class at Beloit encouraged students to think about the
Blackhawk Generating Station as a place that is rich in history and
contains the memories of former employees.
The Powerhouse also factored into a notable class Visiting Assistant Professor of English Christi Clancy taught last fall. The digital storytelling course focused on Beloit as a space and a place. One exercise had students interviewing retired Powerhouse workers and making short movies about the themes that emerged, such as the fraternity among workers.
"This exercise really allowed the students to consider the power plant as a place, one that has a rich history and holds memories for the former workers," Clancy says.
One group of students honed in on the idea of "power" by writing a script that personified the Powerhouse in a short film called "Rejuvenating Power."
"We wanted it to be an overview of the history of the Powerhouse and its relationship with the community and college, while tipping our hats to the men who devoted their lives to providing their community with energy and power," says Sarah-Jane Cikara'14, one of four students who produced the film.
Thanks to a voiceover by Trina Capelli'16, the Powerhouse speaks in this film: "Energy is what I'm attracted to, whether buzzing machinery, youthful voices, or the prospect of what the future holds," it says. "I'm ready to be put to work again and to be as mighty a force as I used to be in this community."
Susan Kasten is the editor of Beloit College Magazine.
In the video below, four Beloit College students explore the history of the decommissioned power plant through oral histories with former workers as part of a digital storytelling class.

Josh Blue has been a fast-rising star since first appearing on Comedy Central's "Mind of Mencia" before gaining the attention and endearment of the country as a favorite on NBC's "Last Comic Standing." Josh is a diverse and triumphant individual – hilarious stand-up comedian, stand-out guest star on television, talented artist, and stellar U.S. Paralympic Soccer player – refusing to bow to any of the challenges that come from living with Cerebral Palsy. Blue jokes, "I realize that people are going to stare so I want to give them something to stare at." Josh uses his incredible sense of humor and versatile persona to defy stereotypes and encourage others to overcome their preconceived notions about people who are considered "disabled." His unique brand of "reverse teasing" affords him the great joy of "humbling condescending people."
Josh's stand-out performances at the 2004 Las Vegas Comedy Festival earned him $10,000 as Grand Prize Winner of the Royal Flush Comedy Competition. He has appeared on NBC, MSNBC, FOX News, and Fox Sports Net. In 2005, Josh emerged as a major force on the college circuit with Main Stage Showcases that garnered rave reviews and a helped earn him a nomination for BEST DIVERSITY EVENT OF 2006 by APCA. A Lewis & Clark College programmer remarked "Not only did Josh Blue receive a standing ovation, but he was the funniest comedian of the entire three day convention."
From comedy clubs and theater engagements to college campuses and corporate events, wherever he takes the stage Josh elicits a wildly appreciative crowd response. His uncanny ability to improvise with any audience coupled with comedic timing rarely found in a performer of his age has enabled Josh to rapidly develop a fan base across the country. His rise is perhaps best described by a well known club owner following a recent show when he exclaimed: "Josh is rolling like a ROCK STAR!"

Helen Clark: International Anti-Corruption DayDec 9, 2015
Statement of UNDP Administrator on the International Anti-Corruption Day
December 9, 2012
Corruption is a crime against development which thrives in the shadows. International Anti-Corruption Day is an opportunity to shed light on the damage it does, and to reaffirm our commitment to act against it.
The impact of corruption is greater than just the diversion of resources – significant as this is. Corruption is also corrosive of societies and contributes to a justified lack of trust and confidence in governance. The worst consequences of corruption are borne by poor and vulnerable groups. Bribes, for example, can make basic services available only to those able to pay.
As the poor are more reliant on public services, they are disproportionately harmed by what may be, in financial terms, small-time corruption. Research suggests that poor women are often the worst affected by corruption.
The poor also have the most to lose from rapid degradation of natural resources stemming from corruption which enables laws and regulations to be circumvented. Illegal logging to which corrupt officials turn a blind eye, for example, can threaten the ecosystems on which poor people depend for their livelihoods, and lead to revenue losses for governments too.
UNDP, through its work in support of the program Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, also known as REDD +, is helping to reduce the risk of corruption in forest management.
Preventing and combating corruption requires transparency and accountability at all levels. UNDP now has some two decades of experience in supporting countries to fight corruption. Integrated approaches, encompassing capacity development, governance reforms, targeted anti-corruption measures, more transparency, and greater civic participation, have been proven to work well.
Anti-corruption measures need to be integrated into development planning processes. UNDP's work on governance around the world aims to strengthen the national institutions and processes needed to build trust, improve responsiveness and accountability, and mobilise resources for development.
Taking back what was lost to corrupt practices is everyone's responsibility – governments and civil society organizations, the private sector and the media, the general public, and youth who will play a pivotal role in seeing this agenda through so that their future is built on solid and honest foundations.
I encourage each of you to act against corruption today, to shine a light on those shadows, so that we can move together towards a better world.

History of Automobile
Although Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot is often credited with building the first self-propelled mechanical vehicle or automobile in about 1769 by adapting an existing horse-drawn vehicle, this claim is disputed by some[citation needed], who doubt Cugnot's three-wheeler ever ran or was stable. Ferdinand Verbiest, a member of a Jesuit mission in China, built the first steam-powered vehicle around 1672 which was of small scale and designed as a toy for the Chinese Emperor that was unable to carry a driver or a passenger, but quite possibly, was the first working steam-powered vehicle ('auto-mobile').What is not in doubt is that Richard Trevithick built and demonstrated his Puffing Devil road locomotive in 1801, believed by many to be the first demonstration of a steam-powered road vehicle although it was unable to maintain sufficient steam pressure for long periods, and would have been of little practical use.
In Russia, in the 1780s, Ivan Kulibin developed a human-pedalled, three-wheeled carriage with modern features such as a flywheel, brake, gear box, and bearings; however, it was not developed further.
François Isaac de Rivaz, a Swiss inventor, designed the first internal combustion engine, in 1806, which was fueled by a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen and used it to develop the world's first vehicle, albeit rudimentary, to be powered by such an engine. The design was not very successful, as was the case with others such as Samuel Brown, Samuel Morey, and Etienne Lenoir with his hippomobile, who each produced vehicles (usually adapted carriages or carts) powered by clumsy internal combustion engines.

Becky Williams, a 68-year-old office worker from North Carolina, recalls her friends' reaction when she enrolled in a study that proposed injecting Botox into her leaky bladder.
"They said, 'You got to be kidding,'" Williams recounted. "They kind of freaked out.'"
She was nonplussed. "I'm up for a lot of stuff," she added."I didn't have any reservations."
Williams had been living with a leaky bladder for three years, and the condition was getting worse over time. Eventually, she was forced to wear incontinence pads every day.
So when her sister mentioned an ad that was asking for research volunteers with leaky bladders, Williams signed up.
The results of the study in which Williams participated were released today. And it turns out that what's helpful for wrinkles appears to be good for leaky bladders, as Botox might be as good as or even better than standard medications used to treat bladder leakage.
The clinical trial, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, involved nearly 250 women with leaky bladders. Half the women received a Botox treatment to their bladders and a six-month supply of placebo pills. The other half received medication useful for treating leaky bladders and a saltwater injection instead of Botox. Neither the women nor the doctors knew who was getting what treatment.
The researchers monitored their leaky bladder symptoms and treatment side effects. What they found was that, in a six-month period, one Botox bladder treatment worked as well as daily pills to reduce daily bladder leakage. Moreover, women who got Botox were twice as likely to have their leaky bladder symptoms disappear when compared to women who took pills.
Leaky bladders -- also known as urge incontinence -- are caused by an overactive bladder muscle that contracts without warning leading to unexpected urine leakage, said lead study author, Dr. Anthony G. Visco, chief of the division of urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C.
Leaky bladders affect nearly one in five older women across the United States. Women are twice as likely to be affected, compared to men.
Think of the bladder like a water balloon, Visco said. "The bladder itself is lined by a muscle," he said. "When that muscle contracts, our bladders empty."
In leaky bladders, he said, that muscle contracts on its own and unexpectedly.
"Botox works by relaxing or paralyzing that muscle," he said. "We try to use Botox to bring that [bladder muscle] back into balance."
Dr. Erika H. Banks, director of gynecology at Montefiore Medical Center and associate professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, who was not involved with the study, said, "It's impressively effective."
There are side effects, she said, but "if [patients] get relief, then it's worth it."
Despite the positive news from the study, however, Botox for urge incontinence will likely face several hurdles. One issue is that Botox is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treating this condition. Another hurdle, Visco said, is the potentially high price tag, which could run hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
"Even though it's a reasonable treatment option," he said, "it's prohibitively expensive for the average person to pay for it at this time."
There are side effects; one in three of the Botox users in the study developed urinary tract infections, and 5 percent of the Botox users needed to temporarily use a catheter to empty their bladders.
"Any treatment that slows the bladder will tend to impair bladder emptying," said Dr. Niall T.M. Galloway, a urologist and chairman for the National Association for Continence based in Charleston, S.C. "Incomplete emptying can lead to urinary infections or retention and the need to catheterize to empty."
And the relief that Botox provides is not permanent. "Like Botox for the face, the effects on bladder function last for six to twelve months for most patients," Galloway said. "So repeated treatments may be needed."
Additionally, some women might balk at the procedure itself, which involves a doctor inserting a lighted scope with a camera and little needle on the end through the natural opening in the urethra. Once inside the bladder, the doctor performs multiple injections on the inner muscle surface.
Williams, however, said that her procedure was "unbelievably pain-free."
During the study, Williams said, her leaky-bladder symptoms pretty much went away and the effect lasted for about a year.
"It was wonderful," she said, adding that seeking help for her leaky bladder changed her life.
"I would tell anybody that has an opportunity to get treatment for it."

Visiting Australia? Make Sure You Tell The Customs Officials About The Porn On Your Hard Drive
from the perhaps-I'll-visit-new-zealand-instead... dept
Well, it appears that down in Australia, they've taken border laptop concerns to a new and ridiculous level. Slashdot points us to claims for Australian officials that travelers entering Australia should have to declare all porn on their laptops. After some public outcry, that original claim was downgraded to "all illegal porn," but as some people are still pointing out, it's not at all clear what constitutes "illegal porn" in Australia, and it's a violation of privacy to demand that travelers reveal their laptop porn. Again, I'm at a loss as to how this actually helps with anything. It's not like having people declare it at the border will do anything to stop "illegal" porn. It just seems like an easy way to have something else to hold over people.

What the Pro-MS Office video does not say
"Considering Open Office.org? Consider this."
Not surprisingly, there has been a wide reaction to it and some people even claimed that Microsoft had finally revealed its true stance concerning open source software. Although I think that the Redmond company has the right to attack competitors, the information that they used for advertising their flagship product should not be fallacious, as this post proves when discussing the academic productivity issue brandished in the video. Basically, the video's core point is that MS Office (2007/2010) constitutes the best office solution in the market because of two features: its new interface and its interoperability and functionality.
Concerning the former, "Ribbon", as this new user interface is commonly called, has its lovers and haters. What is more significant is that Microsoft is trying to patent it and, hence, the company is becoming "a grave threat to the future of software development", as Mike Gunderloy, a former MS Contractor asserted.
In regards to interoperability and functionality, the issues are not normally visible to the common user. However, those technical flaws represent a major problem for companies that require specific features: 1, 2. What everyone knows is that, by pushing users to save documents in .docx instead of the standard de facto .doc format, Microsoft wanted to create a vendor lock in.
In addition, Microsoft is also slanting information to favor adoption of its office solution. I have heard several times that .docx is an ISO standard, just like .odt. That is simply not true. Basically, ISO approved .docx if certain changes were made to the format. This format version is called ISO/IEC 29500 "strict". The reality is that neither Office 2007 nor Office 2010 can generate the ISO standardized "strict" format and Microsoft has not committed to implement it.
The format that the company is using today is the version known as ISO/IEC 29500 "transitional", which ISO determined was not to be used for the creation of new documents. In other words, it can never be the default format for saving new documents as it does not have the status of an international standard and, therefore, it should not be used for electronic transmission or storage of documents.
This distinction is significant because official documents produced by government institutions, such as schools, have to be created following a principle of interoperability, which Microsoft has admitted not to follow with its default-save .docx.
Of course, the video omitted that detail. I wonder if Bailey Mitchell, who claims having "heard a collective sigh of relief" when the schools in Forsyth County returned to MS Office, and who is last quoted in the video, knows about this and saves new documents in .odt format instead of mindlessly pressing the save button in MS Office and generating a questionable .docx file...

A special detail that makes me think: if MS "standards" are as volatile as they have proven themselves to be...what will happen if schools and government institutions actually store their documents using those formats? In a matter of, let's say, 10 years, the information saved today would look like written by a troop of angry "Kindergartians"!ResponderEliminar
Exactly! And institutions would then complain to MS and get a $10 refund for all damage caused by the new office suite...IF Microsoft manages to stay afloat, that is.ResponderEliminar
$10??? Wow! That proves how much Microsoft values the work of those customers who defend that company so much!ResponderEliminar

makes me wonder if it should be illegal to promote your product if you know (and is provable) that it is'nt THAT good. But then again, no one can force you to incriminate yourself even if your guilty. Lucky for me, I get to choose what format to save the file in. We shall see what happens next...>=]ResponderEliminar
Microsoft uses different strategies as that video to show or make up the absolute advantages of their products. Users of the products know that those advantages are not that useful. The products work but not as they are presented on the ads. The company´s interests rely on the increment of users due to other options that might work efficiently depending of the users' needs. It is a shame that well-known companies as MS use this kind of strategies; they should look for options to improve their products and show all the real advantages people can obtain when choosing their brand. Torres, YResponderEliminar
I got an interesting problem with Microsoft's shiny Office 2007. Yesterday, I used Open Office and saved a document as odt. Then, I used MS Office to open it and print it at work. I then decided to save it as a doc file in the case someone without open office needed it. Well, back at home, I tried to open the doc file with MS Office 2000 and...IT HUNG!!!ResponderEliminar
Curiously enough, Open Office COULD actually open it. You cannot say the document was flawed because it was originally made with Open Office because this one was another document made with MS Office 2007.
What did I do? I edited the document (made minor changes just for the sake of changing something), saved it again as a doc file and then voila! MS Office 2000 could open it!
So, what's so good about paying big money for a "powerful" suite that will render a document unusable for products of the same company??
To me it's VERY CLEAR which product is superior: the one that lets me work with the documents!

Just like to say thanks to VirtualFab for the help on the mounting with options. You saved me hours of searching the internet. Sound.
1. Check dmesg for the TV card you are using.
dmesg | grep bttv0
[ 10.679237] bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:03:06.0, irq: 20, latency: 32,
mmio: 0xfdcff000
detected: Hauppauge WinTV [card=10], PCI subsystem ID is 0070:13eb
[ 10.679281] bttv0: 0070:13eb
[ 10.679284] bttv0: using: Hauppauge (bt878) [card=10,autodetected]
[ 10.679319] bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=00ffffdb [init]

[ 10.732527] bttv0: registered device video0

[ 10.732613] bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 .. ok
2. If your card is detected correctly you should have the card number and the tuner number. My card number is 10, The device number is 0070:13eb.
My card was correctly detected and the tuner was not as highlighted. If your card was not detected google the device number....... (or to be really technical the PCI subsystem ID).Code:Hauppauge WinTV [card=10], PCI subsystem ID is 0070:13eb.
NOTE: You can find the card and tuner numbers at the following websites:
(Before you ask the numbers that you take are the ones that start with a zero; ie tuner=0 - Temic
Card numbers for bttv:
Tuner numbers are at:
3. To find out the tuner number you first have to find out the make and model. To do that run the following command:
dmesg | grep tuner
I got the following output:
4. Now comes the hard part. trawling through the internet to find what your looking for. Google is your friend in this step. I googled both tveeprom 1-0050 and TCL 2002MI_3H and found on the following from an arcive during the development of the driver.Code:[ 10.713237] tveeprom 1-0050: tuner model is TCL 2002MI_3H (idx 98, type 4) [ 10.713250] bttv0: tuner absent
5. From the article I can see that I need to set the tuner number to 55 if I have no radio and 37 if I have a radio. I have to unload the bttv0 and the tuner modules first (if it's loaded) with the following command:
sudo rmmod bttv
6. Next I have to set the device numbers ( the card number and the tuner number ). With the following command:
sudo modprobe bttv card=10 tuner=55
7. To automate the commands create a file in /etc/modules.d called bttv.conf or something like that with the following command:
sudo gedit /etc/modules.d/bttv.conf
8. Then all you do is paste the following lines into the file:
And thats it!!!Code:options bttv card=10 tuner=55
Now I'm going to explain how to watch TV; The program that I like to use is Tvtime. You can get it
by typing:
sudo apt-get install tvtime
The installer will ask you whether you use PAL or NTSC and what part of the world you are.
1. Go to Applications > Sound & Video > Tvtime Television Viewer to launch the application.
2. Left click the screen > Channel Management > Disable signal detection.
3. Surf through the channels by pressing 1 [Enter], 2 , 3 etc....
4. When you find a channel you can fine tune it by going to Channel Management > Finetune Current Channel.
5. You can rename the channel numbers by going to Channel Management > Rename current channel.
6. Sit back relax and watch a bit of telly. :popcorn:
If there is anybody that has any trouble understanding the instructions or would like to edit them please post below.

text: OTTAWA (AP) -- Another opportune bounce, a sharp goalie and a stifling defense pushed the Ottawa Senators within a win of their first trip to the Stanley Cup finals. Ray Emery stopped 15 shots to register his third shutout this postseason, and Daniel Alfredsson scored an easy goal in a 1-0 win over the stunned and demoralized Buffalo Sabres in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals on Monday night. The Senators improved to an NHL-best 11-2 this postseason, won a franchise playoff best sixth straight game, and lead the best-of-seven series 3-0 with a chance to eliminate the Presidents' Trophy-winning Sabres in Game 4 at home on Wednesday. The Senators shut down the NHL's most potent offense, including holding Buffalo to five shots in the third period. And Emery was hardly tested, his best save coming with 12 seconds left when he got his left pad out to foil Daniel Briere's shot from the right circle. The Sabres had little in response, unable to get over squandering a two-goal lead in a 4-3, double-overtime loss in Game 2 on Saturday. Their power-play went 0-for-6 and is 0-for-18 for the series. Ryan Miller was the Sabres' best player, keeping the team in the game by stopping 31 shots, including 13 in the first period. But it wasn't enough for Buffalo, shut out for the first time since April 2006. The only puck that got by Miller didn't even begin with a shot on net. Dany Heatley's one-timer from the right point sailed wide and caromed hard off the end boards directly back at Miller, who was well out of his net. Miller attempted to glove the puck but missed it, inadvertently deflecting it back toward the open goal, with Alfredsson stuffing it in just before it crossed the line. The Senators keep getting the bounces to go their way after defenseman Joseph Corvo sealed Saturday's win when his overtime shot took a wild bounce and skipped in. The Sabres looked befuddled during their opening power play. Rather than going back for the puck, Tim Connolly was busy complaining that the clearing attempt struck an Ottawa player at the Senators bench. The Sabres managed just one shot on the power play, a bad-angle drive by defenseman Teppo Numminen. The shot was the only one Buffalo managed on its first four power-play chances. Sabres defenseman Brian Campbell also made a curious miscue, staying on the ice after serving a penalty, giving Buffalo three blue-liners for an extended stretch.

Julie's Lightened-Up Vintage Portland Kitchen
Who cooks here? Julie
Location: Portland, OR
Owned or rented? Owned
Kitchen size: 60 square feet
What challenge have you overcome in your kitchen? We removed the large plaster hood vent that was hulking and non-functioning, placed an undercounter refrigerator where the dishwasher had been (since most of my dishes are vintage, and I didn't use it anyway), removed the layers and layers of linoleum and vinyl and painted the floor, and used a salvaged cabinet from my downstairs neighbor who remodeled his place to replace the old, oak refrigerator cabinet that stuck out too far, and thus it limited my usable counter space.
Thumbs Up Voting is only activated for 48 Hours — so don't delay!
What's the story of your kitchen?
The last picture shows how my kitchen looked right after I moved in. It felt extremely claustrophobic. Last year I did a 'light remodel'. I wanted to keep with the feel of the vintage building, so I didn't change much.
What is your favorite meal to cook here?
I love to make avocado toast. This dish is comprised of local baker Dave's killer bread, spelt bread, toasted, with sliced avocado, lemon juice, olive oil, coarse sea salt, and crushed red pepper on top. So simple, yet all of the flavors blend wonderfully together. I ate something similar at a cafe on my last visit to NYC.

Bye-bye blonde! Ashley Olsen, 22, who typically sports blonde tresses, got in touch with her dark side and dons a dark brown wig for a pictorial in VMAN magazine's upcoming summer issue, of which PEOPLE.com has an exclusive preview. While Ashley appears serious and sultry in the photos, which were shot by Sebastian Faena, off-camera, she tells the magazine, "I'm definitely a hippie girl." On the career front, Ashley says fashion is in her future, not acting. "I've been transitioning from acting as a kid to doing something that I'm choosing for myself-to be part of the fashion industry," says Ashley, who helms The Row, a luxury women's fashion collection expanding into men's wear in the fall. Adds Ashley of her plans to conquer Seventh Avenue: "That's what I want for my future. It has nothing to do with my past, nothing to do with anyone else's agenda. And I followed my heart the whole way. But the outside perception is very different because you do have celebrity brands, people like Jessica Simpson and Kimora Lee Simmons, and those are celebrity brands because they have their names on it." Although she and her twin Mary-Kate may appear to be cut from the same cloth, that's not the case in terms of their ambitions. "The Row is really something that I'm doing while my sister still wants to focus on acting. She's my partner in The Row, but she trusts me with the everyday. I mean, I see her like ten times a day." –David Caplan

Rob Quiney signs for Essex
Essex have bolstered their top-order batting by signing Rob Quiney, the Australian batsman, for the first half of the season. Quiney will initially be available until the end of the Friends Life t20.
It will be Quiney's first stint in overseas first-class cricket. He has a modest record in the format with 3,101 runs at 36.48 in 55 matches but his 2011-12 season suggested he is capable of more than his record suggests. 938 runs at 49.36 prompted his call up for the first Test of the Australian summer against South Africa where he made 9 in his only innings. He was then dropped after making a pair in Adelaide.
"I am delighted to have signed to play for Essex this summer," Quiney said. "The 2012-13 season has been an amazing one for me, fulfilling my ambition of playing international cricket and I am now able to achieve one of my other major cricketing ambitions by playing county cricket.
"Having spoken to Paul Grayson, I am very excited about the plans for Essex this season and I look forward to helping our drive to securing silverware in 2013."
Quiney, 30, will provide valuable experience at the top of the order. Essex have struggled in recent times to find a consistent top three and next season will be without Derbyshire-bound Billy Godleman, and Alviro Petersen, who isn't returning as overseas player. Mark Pettini, primarily a middle-order player and 22-year-old Jaik Mickleburgh were installed as openers towards the end of the last season.
Essex head coach Paul Grayson said the club would look to retain Quiney for the whole season. "We'll revisit the situation after the T20 because obviously Australia are touring over here and he wants to try and make a big impression with them. I've met Rob and spoken to him a few times, he's a quality player and a very good man who comes highly recommended from some good people that we know.
"He's desperate to play county cricket which is great for us and he comes across as an extremely good team player as well and we are delighted to bring him to the club. It's an exciting signing and I'm sure he will have a positive impact on the team."

New Delhi: Bengal speedster Ashoke Dinda is all set to be released by the Indian team management so that he can join his state team for the third round Ranji Trophy encounter against Gujarat starting from November 17 at Eden Gardens.
After Ishant Sharma was diagnosed with viral fever, the BCCI had announced Dinda`s name as stand-bye. He joined the squad as Ishant`s stand-bye on SOS basis.
Dinda was in Chandigarh when he got a call of his selection and he travelled to Kolkata and from there dashed to Ahmedabad.
"Ashoke Dinda will be taking 3:45 pm flight from Ahmedabad and will be back in Kolkata by the evening. Since the first Test has already started, the selectors feel that it is better to release Dinda so that he can utilise the time in a serious match situation against Gujarat," a senior BCCI official told PTI on Thursday.
According to reliable sources in the Board, the selectors want the 14th and 15th member of the squad to leave for Ranji Trophy duties so that they get proper match practice.
"The idea is that we need two extra players who can be substitute fielders. As for the others, it is better that they go and play the Ranji Trophy which will also help them get good match practice," a senior official informed.
It is learnt that Dinda is likely to join Bengal practice tomorrow ahead of their match against Gujarat.
Bengal`s chairman of selection committee Deep Dasgupta wants to look at the positive side.
"I would say Dinda should feel good about the fact that his short call-up meant that selectors now feel that he is the number one back-up pacer in the country after Zaheer Khan, Umesh Yadav and Ishant. Also, it will be a good thing as he would be able to bowl a good 25 overs," the former India player said.
There were also reports that Murali Vijay might also be released for Tamil Nadu`s home Ranji game against Maharashtra.

E3 automotive spark plugs utilize the latest E3 technologies to help engines operate more efficiently by burning fuel more completely. Our patented design gets the flame (or combustion process) started earlier in the combustion chamber before gas is vented off when the exhaust valves open. Although results may vary dramatically based upon piston displacement and operating conditions, increased combustion efficiency and a faster burn allow E3 equipped engines to minimize the venting of unburned (wasted) fuel.
E3 is known as a spark plug company, but they started out is as a research and development company. Anybody could produce a spark plug because the design had basically stayed static since Henry Ford's Model T. The founders of E3 partnered with the engineering departments at two leading technology universities and invested a lot of money and time in creating a completely renovated spark plug design. The J-wire electrode was replaced by E3 with the patented DiamondFire ground electrode, the basis of E3's superior spark plug performance. With increased burn control E3 spark plugs can offer Jeeps increase power output, fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. Shop E3 Spark Plugs Now

Actress Bette Midler alright after fall on stage
Award-winning actress Bette Midler fell during a Broadway performance of "Hello, Dolly!" on Thursday.
The musical's star said that two set pieces collided, and she "had to make a run for it" but fell.
She previously won a Tony Award in June for her performance in the musical. The show opened in April and continues through January.
Midler later returned to thunderous applause and ultimately received four standing ovations, WNBC reported.

There's also few of my recent photos within my Scubaboard Gallery at:
I've considered going the route of an slr (Canon XTI or new XSI), but each time I crunch the numbers to see how much I would have to spend to get everything I would need/want (i.e., camera, housing, optical viewfinder, close-up & wide angle lenses, close-up and wide angle dome ports, sync cords, spare batteries, etc.), the sum total makes me second think my decision, especially since I'm currently shooting lots of pictures with my small system and am not overly disappointed with the results, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. However, with that in mind, my system has SEVERE limitations (i.e., housing offers no underwater manual setting controls & housing depth limitation is offically 132', even though I've already taken it to 200'), so I do need to eventually upgrade.
One option is to go the route getting the Canon G9, which is not an slr, but it does appear to be the next best thing. I've also recently become aware of the fact that Patima makes a hardcore housing for the G9, that would allow me to dive to the 100 meter range, which would be perfect because I do often enjoy deeper technical diving on my closed-circuit rebreather. Here's the link to the housing:
The G9 does present a few limitations in my scenario, as I would not be able to connect the strobes via the bulkhead and use the ttl on my strobes. I realize I can use optical cables and get the ttl that way, but then my camera is firing its flash each time and limiting the battery life. Also, the wet lenses compatible with the Patima ports are identical to the ones I currently own, except it requires a different connection (67mm threads as opposed to the Inon AD Mount) and an adapter doesn't seem to exist, so I would have to buy several new wet lenses for the new setup, which is doable.
So my questions are directed to the experienced photography crowd and to anybody with practical experience with the G9 and/or the Patima Housing:
*How good is the G9 compared to a basic SLR, such as the Canon XTI or XSI?
*What limitations does the G9 have that I may not have considered?
*How long will the G9 battery reasonably last when it is set on forced flash, as would be the case when using optical cables (my Sony's battery currently gives me approximately 230 to 250 shots)?
*Does the Patima Housing have any disadvantages, other than some feel at though the latches are not exactly ergonamically positioned?
*Are there any other camera/housing combinations, with at least similar capabilities and price point to the G9, that I should be considering when making this decision?
Any feedback that would assist me in making this decision would be greatly appreciated!

An intensive campaign to combat HIV/AIDS with costly antiretroviral drugs in rural South Africa has increased life expectancy by more than 11 years and significantly reduced the risk of infection for healthy individuals, according to new research.
The two studies, published Thursday in the journal Science, come as wealthy Western nations are debating how best to stretch limited AIDS funding at a time of economic stress.
With an annual price tag of $500 to $900 per patient, antiretroviral therapy programs have stirred frequent debate. Critics argue that adherence to the drug regimen is low and social stigma prevents some from seeking care until they are very ill and have infected others. Cheaper remedies, such as condom distribution, male circumcision and behavior modification, deserve more attention and funding, they say.
The new economic analysis of a $10.8-million campaign in KwaZulu-Natal province concluded that the drug scale-up there had been highly cost-effective.

Tree Agate Pendant Statement Necklace
Green & White Agate Statement Necklace
Gorgeous Tree Agate Pendant surrounded by silver swings from a necklace of Tree Agate and silvery pewter flowers.
The necklace is 19 1/2 inches long with a 3 inch extender chain. The pendant is 2 inches by 1 1/12 inches.
The matrix on the Snow White and Kelly Green Tree Agate reminds me of winter in the mountains – the tops of evergreen trees peaking out from the deep blanket of snow. The finish is a soft glowing polish – just enough to catch the light. It is beautiful.
The shiny pewter adds just a touch of sparkle.
We designed this in the spirit of the Bones TV show. Emily Deschanel's character, "Bones" always wears stunning jewelry tucked neatly into tailored shirt blouses. That look is a brilliant combination of professional style, with a unique twist.
We've added a little more to this – the length is just right for the "Bones" look, but with the extender chain, it is more versatile – wear it with a turtle neck sweater, or over a business dress; add it to a T or shell for a more casual look. Where ever you go, you will know you are wearing an original, one of a kind, unique, and beautiful accessory.
Metaphysically, Tree agate is reputed to help relieve tensions. I'm not going to contradict that – just the thought of a walk through a soft, cool snow covered forest is enough to help me relax!
