In Gentoo, there are seven runlevels defined: three internal runlevels, and four
user-defined runlevels. The internal runlevels are called
The user-defined runlevels are those with an accompanying

To start, stop or restart a service (and all depending services),
# /etc/init.d/postfix start
If you want to stop a service, but not the services that depend on it, you can
use the
# /etc/init.d/postfix pause
If you want to see what status a service has (started, stopped, paused, ...) you
can use the
# /etc/init.d/postfix status
If the status information tells you that the service is running, but you know
that it is not, then you can reset the status information to "stopped" with the
# /etc/init.d/postfix zap
To also ask what dependencies the service has, you can use
# /etc/init.d/postfix ineed
Similarly, you can ask what services require the service (
# /etc/init.d/postfix needsme
Finally, you can ask what dependencies the service requires but that are missing:
# /etc/init.d/postfix broken
Gentoo's init system uses a dependency-tree to decide what service needs to be started first. As this is a tedious task that we wouldn't want our users to do manually, we have created tools that ease the administration of the runlevels and init scripts.
You have already added init scripts to the "default" runlevel during the
installation of Gentoo. At that time you might not have had a clue what the
"default" is for, but now you should. The
To add or remove an init script, just give
# rc-update del postfix default
# rc-update show
Init scripts can be quite complex. It is therefore not really interesting to have the users directly edit the init script, as it would make it more error-prone. It is however important to be able to configure such a service. For instance, you might want to give more options to the service itself.
A second reason to have this configuration outside the init script is to be able to update the init scripts without being afraid that your configuration changes are undone.
Gentoo provides an easy way to configure such a service: every init script that
can be configured has a file in
Such a configuration file contains variables and variables alone (just like
No. Writing an init script is usually not necessary as Gentoo provides ready-to-use init scripts for all provided services. However, you might have installed a service without using Portage, in which case you will most likely have to create an init script.
Do not use the init script provided by the service if it isn't explicitly written for Gentoo: Gentoo's init scripts are not compatible with the init scripts used by other distributions!
The basic layout of an init script is shown below.
#!/sbin/runscript depend() {
(Dependency information)} start() { (Commands necessary to start the service)} stop() { (Commands necessary to stop the service)} restart() { (Commands necessary to restart the service)}
Any init script
There are two dependencies you can define:
Let us take a look at the dependency information for the postfix service.
depend() { need net use logger dns provide mta }
As you can see, the postfix service:
In some cases you might not require a service, but want your service to be
As an example we view the settings of the Portmap service:
depend() { need net before inetd before xinetd }
You can also use the "*" glob to catch all services in the same runlevel, although this isn't adviseable.
depend() { before * }
Next to the
start() { ebegin "Starting my_service" start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /path/to/my_service eend $? }
If you need more examples of the
# man start-stop-daemon
Other functions you can define are:
If you want your init script to support more options than the ones we have
already encountered, you should add the option to the
opts="${opts} restartdelay" restartdelay() { stop() sleep 3
# Wait 3 seconds before starting againstart() }
You don't have to do anything to support a configuration file in

?-3 intake and visual acuity in patients with retinitis pigmentosa receiving vitamin A.
– Source: Archives of Ophthalmology, June 2012
By E.L. Berson, et al.
Subscribe to the World's Most Popular Newsletter (it's free!)
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether a diet high in long chain ?-3 fatty acids can slow the rate of visual acuity loss among patients with retinitis pigmentosa receiving vitamin A palmitate.
METHODS: We calculated dietary intake from questionnaires completed annually by 357 adult patients from 3 randomized trials who were all receiving vitamin A, 15 000 IU/d, for 4 to 6 years. Rates of visual acuity decline were compared between those with high (?0.20 g/d) vs low (<0.20 g/d) ?-3 intake. Analyses took age into account.
RESULTS: Mean rates of decline of acuity were slower among those with high ?-3 intake:
Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study distance acuity: high intake=0.59 letter per year, low intake=1.00 letter per year,P=.001;
Snellen retinal acuity: high intake=1.5% per year, low intake=2.8% per year, P=.03.
CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that mean annual rates of decline in distance and retinal visual acuities in adults with retinitis pigmentosa receiving vitamin A, 15 000 IU/d, are slower over 4 to 6 years among those consuming a diet rich in ?-3 fatty acids. To our knowledge, this is the first report that nutritional intake can modify the rate of decline of visual acuity in retinitis pigmentosa.

PISA data on financial literacy: Unanswered questions on developing financial skills for the broad student population
A few weeks ago, the results of the OECD's PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) module on financial literacy were revealed, with Shanghai taking top honors in this category – just as it has in the last two rounds (in 2009 and 2012) on the traditional academic curriculum (reading, math and science).
This is no coincidence, as the OECD results and many other studies suggest a close relationship between education levels and academic performance in math and reading comprehension and scores on financial literacy tests.
In the PISA report, the correlation coefficients between financial literacy scores and performance in mathematics and reading were 0.83 and 0.79 respectively across 13 OECD countries in the survey sample. For high performers like Shanghai and New Zealand, these correlations were even stronger: 0.88 for mathematics, 0.86 for reading.
While waiting for general improvement in academic performance is one path to improved financial literacy, the urgency of addressing financial skills for today's youth has led many educators and policymakers to look for more immediate steps that can be taken, including financial education interventions at school. The PISA results, however, don't include an assessment of the value of possible financial literacy curricula, due to the "limited and uneven provision of financial education in schools." That factor makes comparisons across countries difficult, as described in the report.

Patent medicines were produced and sold in England as early as the 1630s, and began to be advertised for sale in the American colonies in the 18th century. At that time, home remedies derived from folk tradition, herbals, or books of recipes often took the place of a doctor's care. The availability of packaged medicines offered an easy alternative to compounding one's own remedy. The American patent medicine industry flourished during the 19th century as inexpensive treatments flooded the market. Products such as Flagg's Japanese Pain Relivo often promised to cure conditions as dissimilar as headaches, poison ivy, sprains, and frostbite. Outlandish claims, and poor results, led many of these products to be labeled quack medicines.

This Wednesday is no ordinary Wednesday. Why you may ask? Well, as with all Wednesdays it marks the weekly #wcw, but today also marks National Best Friend day! So naturally we had to feature not only our weekly woman crush, but also our favorite besties, which duh are Blair Waldorf and Serena Van der Woodsen! So take note upper east siders (and everybody else), because you can't miss today's Luxury Swimwear muses!
Who doesn't love Queen B? And while we do love Beyonce and Lorde, today we're talking about Blair Waldorf! With her perfectly preppy, New York City socialite style, we were always excited to see what Chuck Bass's better half would be wearing in the coming week! One of our favorite Blair style moments was naturally from the style capital of world, Paris! Blair didn't hold back in the City of Lights and rocked mixed matched bold prints. You can steal Blair's look (and confidence!) with the Designer Swimwear Strawberry Shortcake bikini! The floral bikini features a pretty pink trim on the top and bottom, a preppy touch we know Blair would love! So grab a headband to match and head to the Hamptons in this fun bikini style!
Oh Serena, such a lost soul. The beautiful blonde was so tragic and mysterious; you couldn't help but love her! And you couldn't help but be obsessed with her wardrobe! Like Ms. Queen B, Serena's style moment comes from the duo's Parisian getaway! We absolutely loved her pairing of an ultra feminine, sequined pale pink frock with a more masculine over coat and hat. It was just so perfectly Serena! You can feel like a Van der Woodsen in the Irresistible bikini! The muted blue snake skin print bikini is accented with gold hardware on both the neck and on the hips. Get ready and grab your beach tote and throw on this style, so you can tag along with Blair to the Hamptons!

Short But Not Sweet
Muslim Brotherhood declares war
Others | 28 November 2010
It is our (the civilized people) mistake, not the Muslims. If there is a wild beast roaming around killing people and the people do not do anyting about it to defend themselves, whose fault is this? America is doing it all wrong, they are ignoring, actually supporting, the beast in their home and go around trying to stop it!!!!.. More
Visit Israel and be very surprised !
Others | 21 November 2010
It is true that Israel offers democracy and security to all. I live in Jaffa close to a Coptic monastery and church,close to two more churches,close to mosques and close to synagogues.I found the above article very interesting but see no reason why millions of Arabs should stand humbly in front of Israeli soldiers begging for protection.The Arabs could stand proudly next to the Israeli soldiers,hand in hand and recieve protection. It is time for courageous Arabs to say loudly that they are prisoners of their own regimes and Israel is no threat to them... More
To Mr. Mannan
Others | 14 November 2010
Not for long Mr. Mannan, do not rejoice too much \\\'cause your alleged prophet declared that islam would draw back to the land of Hijaz the same way a serpent retreats to its hole, please refer to "Saheeh Moslem". I believe that Christianity and islam do not disagree to this fact, because the Holy Bible confirms that at the end of days all knees will kneel down before the true God, the Lord of Hosts our Lord and Saviour Jesus ..

The Need of a European Leader
Others | 7 November 2010
It's never too late Europe, you are in need of a leader like Geert Wilders to set your people, your culture, your way of life, free. Islam is more likely to dominate unless it is cut from the roots. Wilders should be given all support and reinforcement to lead Europe to a safe and solid ground. God save His people. Amen... More

If this is true then i praise Christ from the bottom of my heart. i honoustly believe it possible. but the story don't check out. if it is false the person who wrote will answer to Christ for the damage they have done to possible souls that would come to Christ but on checking out storeys like this change there mind. you would do Christ and his bride a favour if you stop making things up there are plenty of mirricals that our lord performs every day. if the person writing ant false accounts has a problem finding them then maybe they should open there eyes..

Security Services Officers
Others | 19 September 2010

Kamelia Sheehata
Others | 8 September 2010
It seems you have backwards, Muslims did not keep Mohamed Hegazy ( the 16 years old kid) to rewash his washed brain.

Others | 15 August 2010
This thug al-badri should have a warrant for his arrest and should be put in prison for all the sick and hate speeches that he makes against Christians and moslims, Since the moslim people are used to hating and killing each other from the time of their child molester profit , then my consern will switch to the Chrsitains ..

Even though James Randi has kept a busy speaking schedule all over the world lately, traveling from Canada to Colorado to Los Angeles and many other places, he has still found time in recent weeks to speak in and around his home state of Florida.
Recently, Randi spoke at Broward College on behalf of their Psychology Club, where he taught students and faculty how to recognize flim-flam and how an in-depth knowledge of conjuring has equipped him for a life in skepticism. Randi always enjoys speaking on college campuses, and he relished the opportunity to meet with the students at Broward.
Just weeks ago, Randi participated in a public discussion about religion and skepticism at Congregation L'Dor Va-Dor, a reform synagogue in Lake Worth led by Rabbi Barry Silver. Rabbi Silver, who is also an attorney, previously employed Randi's expertise in the successful prosecution of a Florida psychic who was swindling people out of their hard-earned cash by pretending to possess paranormal powers.
Rabbi Silver told the Sun-Sentinal, "[James Randi is] a consummate entertainer, magician, advocate for reason and science and debunker of fraud and con artists, he is a legend among free-thinkers and thus it was a great honor to have him visit us."
The Sun-Sentinal also spoke to an attendee of Randi's talk who said, "I think it is very interesting for James Randi to come to a synagogue since he is an atheist. Most synagogues would never allow that. It is important that we listen to different views and to question everything, even what is written in the Torah."
Thanks to everyone who made these appearances happen, and Randi looks forward to speaking around Florida and the rest of the world for years to come.

Tell me if you've heard this story before: Four good friends living in a big city try to navigate the treacherous world of dating while managing their careers and staying in vogue. No matter how crazy life gets, they always manage to celebrate good times and offer a warm shoulder when life gets tough.
If you said "Sex and the City," you'd be, well, right, but this is actually "Shy Town Girls," a new series of books that follows four 20-somethings (yes, a bit younger than Carrie and her friends) trying to make it in Chicago. The quadrilogy is collaboratively written by four women with Chicago ties: Katie Leimkuehler, Jennifer Yih, Kate Clinesmith and Melissa G. Wilson.
The women admit that their series was loosely inspired by HBO's famous female foursome, but point out one major difference.
This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.
"We are all lovers of 'Sex and the City,'" Wilson said. "There are a lot of people interested in the concept of a grown woman starting out in a big city, but I think one of the unique things about our series is the location. We found we have such a loyalty to Chicago. The city is considered to be the second city, but we have such an amazing melange of interesting things happening here. We were happy to showcase the city in our book."
The series is being written through what the writers are calling a collaborative publishing process. All four authors helped develop the story line and characters and worked together to map out the various plots in each book. Although the individual books are written by one author, the group collectively edits the final text.
"It is collaborative until we finally say it is done," Wilson remarked.
Wilson, author of 15 books and owner of Networlding, a publishing, marketing and social media consulting firm, thought up the idea for the series and brought in the other three authors, all of whom had contacted her to learn more about the publishing industry. "I felt it was better to show them than tell them," Wilson said.
In August, the four women gathered in Wilson's office across from the Civic Opera House at Madison Street and Wacker Drive and plotted out the story. First, they adopted characters: Leimkuehler took on Ivy, Yih chose Bobbie, Clinesmith picked Eloise and Wilson selected Meryl. Each writer molded her character, leaning on real life when necessary and appropriate.
For hours, the women brainstormed, throwing out ideas about subplots, back stories and romantic interests.
"That day we got into the nitty gritty of our characters," Clinesmith said. "We talked about their grandparents, their upbringing, their relationships with their parents and siblings. We added a lot of dimension to each character."
They also discussed what themes they wanted to tease out in each book. "We really wanted to touch on loyalty, friendship, love lives and that shyness factor we all have," Yih said. "Everyone has their own way of being shy, whether it is doing the things you have to do even if it's hard or if it's actually" being uncomfortable in social situations.
Shyness is a major theme in the series. All four main characters are forced out of their comfort zone at some point in the first book.
By the end of that meeting, the group decided that each book would be told from the point of view of one of the main characters, who all live in the same apartment building, and that Yih would write the first book.
Despite having a good understanding of the story and the different characters, Yih often consulted the other authors during the writing process.
"It's hard when you are writing a book from one character's perspective and you have to speak on behalf of the other characters," Yih said. "Once I started writing, I would call up Melissa or Kate and say, 'How would Meryl or Ella (Eloise's nickname) respond to this situation?'"
Reading how Yih rendered Ivy, Eloise and Meryl allowed the other authors to gain a deeper understanding of their own characters.
"I think reading her perspective of Eloise was maybe more helpful than me writing about Eloise," Clinesmith said. "Seeing how my character was perceived by others added another dimension to her."
Leimkuehler is writing the second book, due out in May, from Ivy's point of view. The other two books, told from Ella and Meryl's perspectives respectively, will be released later this year.
Courtney Crowder covers the Chicago literary scene for Printers Row Journal.

established 1976, retired 2010
Yves Albert Feder Harpsichords is pleased to recommend THE PARIS WORKSHOP and the ATELIER MARC DUCORNET of Montreuil (Paris) France. TPW supplies harpsichord kits of extraordinary finish and quality backed by years of experience working with kit builders; and Marc's finished instruments have established a worldwide reputation and are in use by major performers in Europe, America, and throughout the world.
Having also built a variety of custom historical keyboard instruments myself here in the Killingworth workshops over the last 35 years, I've personally retired from instrument making and harpsichord service to devote myself primarily to my audio recording and production business.
Best wishes,
Information on Linda Skernick's activities as a performer can be found at
Some fun local history from our harpsichord files!
Louis is a great veteran, having survived many tours and performances by visiting artists.
Some technical notes - The compass is 63 notes FF' - g''' - disposition 2X8' & 1X4', red with gold bands and linen off-white inner lid. The Louis XVI stand has fluted turned legs. I had the good fortune to learn making and finishing keyboards from scratch from some extraordinary old world craftsmen at the (then active) Pratt Read manufactory in Ivoryton, Connecticut. Steve Jellens and Frank Stopa taught me how to work with discarded ivory from old piano keyboards, and with ebony, and with cutting basswood for the keylevers, and the mysteries of hot glue - ! I also worked from the stringing plan for the 1769 Edinburgh Taskin to make up the board/bridges-nuts/string band. Quilling is a mix of delrin/celcon. Keyboard action, including sharps, all hand made. Buckskin covered key end surfaces. Instrument tuned to A415 and transposable to A440. A very rich sounding instrument with a particularly flutey back 8' register, Louis is a great concert hall harpsichord, terrific projection.
At this point, Linda and I have several harpsichords in house & I've finally gotten my latest large French Double playing - a fully scratch instrument, double transposer, closely derived from the 1769 Edinburgh Taskin with some lessons learned from the 1770 Yale Taskin (an instrument I've recorded in concert many dozens of times.) The new instrument has a reedier, perhaps more trenchant sound; but the old one has a dignity and suave character of tone that is most delightful and inspiring.
Our "new" French Double still remains unpainted after several years - but it is a beautiful instrument with leathered registers and pearwood jacks, and is a double transposer (down to A392 and up to A440, as desired). Various recording sessions are being held this year and next.
And Practicing the night before........
British harpsichordist SHARON GOULD onstage with our French

In the summertime the people of Mosul often used to come here as it was cooler being at an altitude of about 2,000 feet. There is a mound containing the vestiges of an Asyrrian fortress. That's all I can remember. The roads in this area snake along sheer mountain walls and through narrow gorges. Luckily they were relatively well maintained. The rugged landscape, with fir trees, cypress and maple groves, is a paradise for hunters : wild boars, wild goats, hares and porcupines - I was offered porcupine for dinner by the local Christian mountain people.

11:23- hanging with @thenational... "who?"
9:57- Jenkins to the Hawks? They ready to deal?
8:20- mocks imploding
7:39- After 40 minutes of chatter... Anthony Davis goes #1.
4:46- Bird Rights update!!
3:34- All quiet on the Knicks front possibly a sign of things to come for tonight... In the meantime enjoy this selection from Seth Davis. Pay particular attention to what a scout said about DJO.
12:43 (Spurs looking for roster space?)

Let more confusion begin. The Knicks, it is my understanding, cannot purchase a pick like they did with Jorts last year. But it appears they can make a trade for a deal if salaries match.
As we creep closer to tonight's draft, the Knicks have played everything close to the vest. You'd have to think that they will try and be active tonight and we will be on top of the trades and rumors all day long.
Here's my top 5 realistic picks at 48 based on critical scouting and talking to folks around the league.
1. Darius Johnson-Odom
2. Kim English
3. Mike Scott
4. Kevin Jones
5. Rakim Sanders
The final Draftexpress and NBADraft.net mocks are set and here are the results.

Lucy Bell
A recent move from London to East Anglia has provided a stimulus for a new series of abstract paintings. Lucy studied at the RA Schools and Ruskin School of Art. She travelled to Bulgaria with a British Council Scholarship in 1988. Group exhibitions include various London Galleries as well as solo exhibitions in London in Essex. She has had work purchased by various corporations in London and undertook a commission for several works for a hotel in Chicago. I use nature as a visual marker and emotional stimulus. I try to find new ways of composing images through ideas of intersecting forms and seeing how colour and change and transform. Natural textures and marks can also allude to textiles.

PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL (WFLX) - Peter Buban is a big guy who has a big fish story to tell.
While fishing in Palm Beach County recently, he felt a tug on the line. "We just saw the reel start screaming, and I jump. I put up my harness, and I start to fight the fish, and I realize it's going to be a huge fish!"
With the help of his friends, he fought the monster for almost an hour.
It was Buban's biggest catch ever, a 13-foot 9-inch 1,000 pound hammerhead shark!
It won for him his first competition and was a record for the yearly Blacktip Challenge shark fishing tournament. "I basically beat everybody by two and a half or three feet, he said. "It's very rare that somebody is going to beat you with this kind of fish."
The shark was released and Buban himself personally followed the shark offshore for 200 yards in his kayak to make sure it was OK and could swim away.
Most fisherman don't want to harm the sharks at all, that's why they use a circle hook, the point bends in therefore it doesn't dig into the shark's flesh as opposed to the "J" hook which would tear up its insides.
Buban believes in conserving the animals. "We have to protect them, catch and release, try to be very gentle with them."
Originally from Czechoslovakia, Buban started fishing at a very young age. "I start fishing when I was 9-years- old. Basically, I was born with a rod in my hand, and I start fishing on small rivers."
From small rivers to the Atlantic Ocean.
Moving to South Florida is a dream to the avid angler. "If you catch one huge fish, it's like a drug, you cannot stop. It's like motivation to catch bigger and bigger fish."
He doesn't want this beast to be his biggest fish tale. "I hope this isn't my fish of a lifetime because I hope to catch something even better."

It was odd, to say the least, to see the Bears issue a press release proclaiming the pulling of the plug on their relationship with linebacker Brian Urlacher.
Why not just leave the one-year, $2 million offer on the table and wait for someone else to offer more?
Like many teams who want to close the door on a legendary player, the Bears surely prefer that Urlacher play neither for them nor for anyone else. The Packers weren't able to pull that off with Brett Favre, and the Colts couldn't do it with Peyton Manning. Could Chicago do it with their iconic defensive captain?
In this specific case, the Bears' offer resides at a minimum in the fringes of the ballpark for an aging middle linebacker. It's entirely possible that no other team will be offering substantially more. If that's the case, how can Urlacher join any other team while still saving face?
"It wasn't really an offer," Urlacher recently told SiriusXM NFL Radio. "It was either sign or we don't want you. . . . Which is a lot of money, don't get me wrong, but for me to go through a season, put my body through what it goes through during a season at my age, I'm not going to play for that, you know, not for the Bears at least."
That last part suggests Urlacher perhaps would play for that little for someone else. Still, it will be a big and bitter pill for Urlacher to take far less than the $5.5 million per year he claims his side offered.
Which means that Urlacher could end up walking away. Which means that the Bears may have stumbled across the secret sauce for keeping Urlacher from playing for them — or for anyone else.

We have completed another successful Toys for Tots drive and were able to provide a little Christmas to more than 2,000 disadvantaged children with the outpouring of support from Marines, members, families and friends of MCL Bantam Marine Detachment 743, the American Legion Riders and numerous other volunteers.
This is all in addition to the numerous individuals, businesses and organizations that supported and contributed to Toys for Tots throughout the year.
My gratitude is beyond words to all of you who helped this past year. Without each and every one of you, this program would not have been successful. Many of you return year after year, knowing the commitment this program requires and it is much appreciated.
For some of you this was your first year participating and I hope you left knowing your hard work and dedication provided hope and joy to many children.
Thank you to the many Marines who handed out hats and gloves to recipients who chose to come early on distribution day and waited in the cold for us to open the doors. Although we assure recipients that, once registered, each child will receive a bag of toys and that there is no reason for them to arrive so early, many still chose to do so.
I am grateful to all of you who worked expeditiously so we could get them out of the cold. For the past three years, we have been able to hand out the sacks full of toys to the majority of our registered children within three hours.
There is no small contribution in a program of this magnitude.Thank you again.

Copyright Infringement Requires A Lot More Than Vague Similarities
from the ain't-the-same deptMichael Scott points us to a story about a lawsuit accusing Adobe of copyright infringement for its InDesign software product. The complaint was from a company called Brookhaven Typesetting Services. The judge sided with Adobe -- and it isn't difficult to see why. What is difficult is figuring out how or why Brookhaven thought it had a case. The company apparently had a page layout software product called K2 back in the early 90s. At some point, the company tried to license it to Aldus, who had a popular page layout software called PageMaker -- including sending Aldus the source code. Aldus, of course, was eventually bought by Adobe, and Adobe eventually released InDesign as a replacement for PageMaker. So what's the complaint? Well, when InDesign was in development, its code name was K2. So, yes, it was a similar page layout software, and the code name was the same as Brookhaven's product name. So you could see where Brookhaven would be initially suspicious. But the problem was that there was no fire behind the smoke. A comparison of the two products' source code showed no similarities whatsoever. The product was clearly entirely separate. Yet, once Brookhaven lost the case... it still appealed, only to have now lost again. For some reason, some people seem to think that any similarity at all is copyright infringement, but that's simply not true.

President Obama may have lost some of his hip-guy, cool-guy status over the last four years because according to a new poll, less than half of young voters, aged 18-24, want Obama to win the election. Furthermore, he's only leading the Republican candidate by 7 percentage points (at the time of polling, they didn't specify who the said GOP candidate would be); back in 2008, he led McCain by a 34-point margin. Simply put, Obama is losing the kids. Even though the youngsters don't add up to a big percentage of those who vote, it's still not necessarily a demographic a candidate wants, or can afford, to lose. So, hmm. Why do you think the kiddos are so P.O.'d?
Jobs, probs.
More from The Stir: Obama's Plan to Lower Gas Prices Stinks
If I were a young adult who couldn't get work, I'd be looking for a new leader, too. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for college grads (let alone the non higher-educated masses) who've moved back in with their parents, who are sleeping in their old bedroom, staring at their Dispatch posters, waiting to hear back from one of the four billion jobs they applied to.
According to some sources, 54 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds are unemployed. When numbers like that are brought to light, it's really no surprise that Obama's losing the young vote.
Is this a sign that Obama's path to re-election will be a little tougher than anticipated? I'd say so. In 2008, back when I was in the young-voters group, it was all about change! and newness! and woo! Obama's so cool! Now that the dust has settled, now that there are millions who are jobless and millions who are a little jaded when it comes to the real possibility of making a difference, it's going to be harder for Obama to get loud, boisterous, invigorated support from kids. There's only so much Dispatch poster-staring one can do until permanent depression sets in.
Do you think that Obama should be worried about losing the youth vote?

It was a fully loaded couple of hours this week on Ring ka King, with the Bollywood Boys and Mahabali Veera earning title shots, Harbhajan Singh accepting Jeff Jarrett's challenge for a match, and lots of other developments. Let's head to the ring and see what happened!
April 7
The show started off with RDX coming to the ring, with their lawyer sweeping the ramp and ring before they enter so they didn�t mess up their shoes. Jeff Jarrett noted that, in order to address the complaints by the fans over his recent actions, he would give them some competitive matches on this week�s shows, including several multi-man matches to determine the contenders for RDX�s championships. He also said that he would love to face Harbhajan Singh in the ring, but that Singh was a coward (the commentators were hilarious in their outrage to this).
As they trumpeted, Jwala�s music started and the Indian psycho hit the ring. He questioned why he wasn�t scheduled to be in the battle royal to determine the number one contendership to the World Heavyweight Championship. Sonjay Dutt responded saying that Jwala didn�t deserve it, but rather deserved to sweep up the arena, and threw him the broom. Jwala went into berserker mode and tried to take them all out, but the numbers game was too much for him. As RDX was swarming him, the giant sumo wrestler came down to the ring wearing full battle gear (which is to say, not much). He got into position, sending RDX scattering like scared dogs.
Backstage, Mahabali Veera told backstage announcer Ram that after beating the American Adonis tonight, he would go on to win the battle royal on the next show.
Match 1: The Bollywood Boys vs Hollywood & Broadway vs the Pathani Pathhe vs the Sheiks w/ Raisha � number one contenders match
The match started off with some quick tags by all teams, and things got crazy early on with the Boys dispatching all of their opponents to the floor, and then taking them out with stereo high dives from the ropes. When the action got back in the ring, the Sheiks and H&B took control, taking turns beating up on a B-Boy, only to break up each other�s pin attempt. After some miscommunication by the heels, the Boy was able to tag in his partner, and soon thereafter the match became a pier-six brawl. The Pathhe hit H&B with the battering ram, but got thrown out by the Sheiks. As the Sheiks turned around, the Boys were there to capitalize. They threw them out of the ring, then hit Hollywood with a pair of superkicks to get the pin. After the match, the Pathhe showed there were no hard feelings, and they celebrated by dancing with the Boys and the Boys� troupe of dancing girls. There�s a joke in there somewhere about dancing girls and hard feelings, but this is a family show.
Winners, and number one contenders to the Tag Team Championship: the Bollywood Boys
Backstage, Ram interviewed the Ring ka King lawyer. He asked if the lawyer would comment about Jazzy Lahoria�s petitioning RkK shareholders to do something about RDX, but the lawyer had no comment. RDX barged in and Sonjay told him that the only announcement he would make is that RDX would continue to run the company the way they wanted to.
Up next was a montage of promos by various competitors in tomorrow night�s battle royal. This was a good way to get over the importance of the match and the title.
American Adonis w/ Shera vs Mahabali Veera
This one had been building for several weeks, and the crowd was hot to finally see Veera square off against his nemesis. He didn�t disappoint, hitting Adonis with a huge flying shoulder tackle to start. Adonis spilled outside of the ring where Shera proved to be an asset, distracting Veera and allowing Adonis to attack him from behind, slamming the Indian Superman down hard on the ringside mat. In the ring, Adonis continued the punishment, chopping and stomping Veera at will. Adonis hit him with a big knee to the back and then stretched out Veera, looking to soften him up even further, with Shera assisting whenever the ref�s back was turned. A big lariat knocked Veera for a loop and prone for the Adonis Lock. Veera was able to power out of the move, though, and that set him on the comeback trail. He battered Adonis, hitting a huge Stinger Splash. Some miscommunication by Shera left Adonis prone to the big Veera Bomb, and that was enough for the hometown favourite to get the 1-2-3.
Winner: Mahabali Veera
To end the show, the RkK lawyer came out to the entrance ramp with the sumo. He introduced the large competitor as Yamamotoyama, and revealed that the Goodwill Ambassador Harbhajan Singh had brought in the big man. He further announced that Singh would be there at the next show with a big surprise in tow, a surprise intended for Jeff Jarrett.
April 8
Once again, RDX kicked off the show, again with their lawyer sweeping their way. The ring was set up with a red carpet, and a big framed photo of Goodwill Ambassador Harbhajan Singh. Jarrett called out Singh and said he would wrestle him blindfolded if need be. RDX showed off their homemade anti-Singh t-shirts, and then broke Singh�s picture, threw it in a trash can and burned it.
Backstage, Ram interviewed the RkK lawyer who wasn�t saying anything, when Jazzy Lahoria walked in. Lahoria teased the big surprise that Singh would have for Jarrett later on, but wouldn�t divulge details.
Match 1: Sonjay Dutt w/ Sir Brutus Magnus vs Jimmy Rave
Dutt came to the ring wearing his golden wings, which is a gimmick that really needs to be brought over here. Fun stuff to start, with a series of holds and reversals that Rave got the better of. Dutt tried to dazzle with some aerobatics, but got caught with a big slap. A high risk move by Rave cost him and he tumbled to the floor. Dutt, despite flapping his arms to symbolize his high-flying arsenal, kept teasing high risk moves, but would stop short every time. His showboating cost him some time, though, and Rave fought back to make it competitive. Dutt finally did go to the sky, but crashed hard when Rave avoided a springboard cross body. Rave�s intensity failed him, though, and when he went for a charging attack, he ate Dutt�s feet, knocking him silly. Dutt capitalized with a draping dropkick, then put on his wings and hit a Superfly Splash for the pin.
Winner: Sonjay Dutt
Backstage, Angelina Love met up with Romeo Rapta who told her that he wanted to talk to her after her match. As he walked away, the mini Zoravar told her the same.
Match 2: Raisha Saeed w/ the Sheiks vs Angelina Love
Love was able to overcome Saeed�s attack before the bell, which caused the Sheiks to interfere on behalf of their companion. The referee saw what they tried to do, though, and ejected them from ringside. A frustrated Saeed took out her anger on Love, stomping on her on the bottom rope. Saeed sat Love on top of the top turnbuckle, and tried for a superplex, but got shoved down. Love fired back with a series of clotheslines, and after a Lights Out, got the pin.
Winner: Angelina Love
Romeo Rapta came to the ring with a bouquet of roses and proclaimed her as the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life, told her that he loved her, and asked her to marry him. This brought out Zoravar who had an even bigger bouquet and he did the same. Hey, if she�s into short-statured Indian guys, I�m available. Love left the ring while Rapta and Zoravar argued.
Backstage, Love told Ram that she did want to get married while in India, and that it would take place in a Ring ka King ring, but that she hadn�t made up her mind as to with whom.
Match 3: 20-man battle royal � number one contender match
It seemed that the entire roster, except for the RDX members, were in this one. After all of the participants were in the ring, Yamamotoyama came down to the ring, and blocked the entrance ramp, presumably so nobody from RDX could interfere in the outcome. Matt Morgan made an impact, sending out three guys in very short order. Some long-standing feuds like Isaiah Cash and Roscoe Jackson continued here, but otherwise it was just bodies being thrown out periodically. No surprise when Barood got dumped unceremoniously to the floor. A nice move when Adonis picked up Pagal Parinda in the Adonis Lock and heaved him over the rope. It quickly came down to a battle of mostly big men � Cash, Jackson, Morgan, Veera, and Adonis, with Chavo beaten down in the corner. Cash and Jackson momentarily teamed up to eliminate Morgan, but then Cash threw out Jackson from behind. This left Chavo and Veera to combine their efforts against Cash and Adonis. Veera and Adonis continued their hostility, while Cash struggled to throw out Chavo. This segment went for some time before Cash and Adonis teamed up to eliminate Chavo. They then turned their attention to Veera. They tried the same double-team move, but Veera reversed it and Cash got dumped. Veera then surprised Adonis, hit him with the Veera Bomb, and clotheslined Adonis over the top, to win it all.
Winner, and new number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship: Mahabali Veera
After the match, Harbhajan Singh came to the ring. He congratulated Veera, then grabbed the contract that Jeff Jarrett had left at ringside and signed it, to set the two up in a match, to the delight of the celebrating crowd.

Excellent Sumary of The Java Sea Battle
Posted by Vic Campbell at 7:15 AM

The USS Houston (CA-30), a heavy cruiser, was sunk by the Japanese on March 1, 1942. Its surviving crew members were taken prisoners by the Japanese and used as slave laborers in Japan, Burma, Thailand, and elsewhere. In Burma and Thailand, they were forced to build the Burma-Thai Railway (Death Railway). One bridge of the railway came to be known as the infamous Bridge Over the River Kwai.

CartoGraphics is a design firm that specializes in maps and information
graphics. Were fascinated by the design challenges of maps: theyre
extremely complex, must be up-to-date and unrelentingly accurate, and must
clarify and explain a complex world on a sheet of paper or computer screen.
This portfolio shows some of our work, organized several different ways: by scale and by the way theyre used. If you have a project youd like to discuss, call or e-mail us.
