President Obama doesn't take mulligans when he plays golf. The same cannot be said for the way he governs. Just weeks after negotiations over the debt limit hobbled the nation and his presidency, Obama appeared in the Rose Garden on Monday to do what he had not done before: He laid out a specific plan for deficit reductions, including more than $1 trillion in new taxes, and promised to veto any plan that cut entitlements without raising taxes on wealthier Americans and corporations.
In place of general statements about "balance" and "compromise," Obama proposed $310 billion in new cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and other health programs, $270 billion in other cuts and reforms, and $1.5 trillion in new tax revenue that Obama said would be borne mainly by the wealthiest Americans and corporations. The President spent much of July publicly minimizing the differences between himself and Republican House Speaker John Boehner as he chased after an elusive "grand bargain" on deficit reduction. But now he described a sharp contrast, and offered two ultimatums: First, the promise to allow all the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts to expire at the end of 2012 if Congress cannot reach a tax reform agreement, and secondly, a promise to veto any bill that takes a dime from Medicare beneficiaries without raising taxes on the wealthy and large corporations.
"Middle class families should not pay higher taxes than millionaires and billionaires," Obama said, laying out a message that will likely carry him through next year's election. "That's pretty straightforward. It's hard to argue against that."
It was a speech designed to shift the debate over spending and taxation onto Democratic turf, away from the debate on spending toward a debate on what is fair for the middle class. "Anybody who says we can't change the tax code to correct that," he continued, "anyone who has signed some pledge to protect every single tax loophole so long as they live, they should be called out. They should have to defend that unfairness, explain why somebody who's making $50 million a year in the financial markets should be paying 15% on their taxes when a teacher making $50,000 a year is paying more than that, paying a higher rate. They ought to have to answer for that."
Obama went so far as to name names, calling out his old negotiating partner, Boehner, for laying down his own iron clad marker, by promising not to raise taxes. "The Speaker says we can't have it 'My way or the highway' and then basically says 'My way or the highway,'" Obama said. "That's not smart. It's not right."
But by issuing his own hard-line veto threat and ultimatum, Obama showed he is willing to play the game he has spent months disparaging in public paeans to flexibility. The new Obama strategy is a clear acknowledgement that the two parties are unlikely to work out its disagreements in the coming months, and that a long term plan for deficit reduction will likely need to be worked out in the lame duck session, after next year's election, but before steep cuts to military spending and Medicare providers, agreed to in August, are scheduled to take effect. The White House continues to hope, however, that both parties will still be willing to work together on short-term tax cuts and other stimulus measures, with an understanding that paying for their costs would be worked out at another time.
Throughout August, White House aides argued that there was a silver lining to the summer dysfunction. On issues like taxation and deficit reduction, clear majorities of the country favor the policy approach of Obama. It's on that contrast that his advisers now plan to mount the President's re-election campaign. Republicans, meanwhile, think their issue weakness among much of the American public will not prove fatal at the polls; they hope that like 2010, 2012 will be a referendum on Obama's handling of the economy.
To win this contest, White House aides know Obama will have to find a way to elevate the debate beyond policy details or competing ideologies. On Monday, Obama continued this effort, speaking in moral terms about the choices facing the country. "It's also about fairness," Obama said. "It's about whether we are, in fact, in this together and we're looking out for one another. We know what's right; it's time to do what's right."

Pat is one those irritating people who are good at lots of things. See this resume we lifted from the inter-web.
"P. A. Douglas is the author of several survival horror novels, novellas, and short stories including Watchers, Rancid, and Horror Stories and Terrifying Tales. His work has been praised by several well-known authors and has appeared in Fangoria Magazine. He is also a nationally touring singer-songwriter, under the name: The Cries Of. With more than a dozen music related releases and countless national tours, he has recently decided to give away all of his music for free as digital downloads. Douglas lives in South East Texas."
He also goes out with Argentine underwear model Sabrina Lopez who has appeared in Vogue & has a small role in the upcoming Resident Evil movie.
Hate him already?
OK – we lied about the supermodel but the rest is true. Plus, his new novella may well have scared the crap out of our Ministry of Zombies review team.
Here's the link & a piccie but read the mental interview first to confirm that he does indeed deserve your pennies.
The human mind holds within its infinite reaches many of the greatest mysteries in the universe. Some are vast and wondrous, while others are chilling and nightmarish. Some mysteries are better left hidden in the dark corners of our minds, never breaking free of our subconscious...

Family Reunion Forum
Re: Family History presentations at family reunion
In Response To: Family History presentations at family reunions ()
In 2010 for the 90th Annual Adams Family reunion one of our events was a presentation (PP) of about 45 minutes in length. This Adams Family consists of descendants from the 12 children of Lewis & Susan Adams. Lewis and Susan were married in January of 1816 in Urbana, Ohio.
Over the years the family had 'factured' into circles with some branches being more dominant in the reunion affairs. To combat this situation of "closed circles" the presentation was about the life and times of Lewis & Susan, our common ancestors.
The presentation started with a chart showing Lewis & Susan with the names and birth-death years for each of their 12 children. Then images and explanations were shown of events and documentation covering the life span of Lewis (1785-1864) & Susan (1790-1861), which included:
1.Emancipation Paper for Lewis Adams (1813)
We also had a memorial service at the grave site of Lewis & Susan Adams.
I think the presentation & service helped us realize that we were ALL from these common ancestors, Lewis & Susan, not just the descendants from each of those 12 children.
I hope this example gives an insight into another possibility for a reunion program.
Art Thomas
Jason asked:
What are some creative ways other than writing the family history in a book at the family reunion?

Getting Your First BITCOIN is Hard, but We are Here to Help
CoinHD is an interesting new service that rewards its users with Bitcoins for watching Youtube videos online. You just need to go over a quick registration process that does not require any personal information other than an email address and you are ready to start watching videos and earning BTC for doing so. You are apparently getting paid starting with 50-100 satoshi per video (the rate depends) that you watch and in order to get paid you need to earn at least 60 bits or 6000 saoshi to be able to withdraw your coins and you are getting paid directly to your Bitcoin wallet address.
You can also use the service to promote your YouTube videos if you need to get more views as the account you create for the service is for both getting paid to view videos and to pay to get your videos watched by other users. So apparently a lot of the videos are submitted by users that are paid for other people to watch them and many of them are apparently Bitcoin-related, so you can find something interesting among them.
– If you want to check out the CoinHD service that pays Bitcoins for watching videos…

Pac-12 M5: 01.02.14 EditionPosted by AMurawa on January 2nd, 2014
- Welcome to New Year's Day! No, not that one where you wake up hung over and buy a new calendar. The one where the newest Pac-12 conference season tips off. We've got five games on the slate tonight, so let's get right to it. First, we got a little bit of a surprise on Wednesday when Oregon State head coach Craig Robinson announced that senior forward Eric Moreland has "fulfilled the requirements of his suspension" (except for, you know, sitting out the 14 games he was suspended for) and will be in uniform tonight when the Beavers visit Colorado (7:00 PM PST, ESPNU). Moreland averaged 9.4 points, 10.6 boards and 2.5 blocks per game last season and will significantly increase the chances that Oregon State gives the Buffaloes problems tonight.
- While that game takes on more intrigue, the game of the night is probably Oregon visiting Utah (5:00 PM PST, Pac-12 Networks). The Utes have played one of the weakest schedules in Division I basketball, but also have largely taken care of business, including a blowout win over rival BYU (a win that doesn't look quite as impressive now that BYU has dropped a few games). Still, they've looked pretty good in getting through that schedule, but beginning tonight there is no more hiding. The undefeated and No. 10 nationally-ranked Ducks visit and will immediately test the Utes' resolve. For their part, Oregon is still something of an unknown, having earned a handful of good but not earth-shattering wins. We'll probably know a heck of a lot more about both of these teams by Sunday night.
- The basketball version of The Big Game between Cal and Stanford (6:00 PM PST, Fox Sports 1) is the other big story of the night. Both teams have struggled with injuries this season, but the Cardinal have at least accepted the fact that they'll be playing without guys like Aaron Bright, Andy Brown and Christian Sanders. The Golden Bears, on the other hand, are without Ricky Kreklow for another month and freshman Jabari Bird is out for "awhile" and not expected to play tonight. With that said, and with the Cardinal playing at home, this is a bigger game for Johnny Dawkins' squad tonight. The Cardinal can't afford a loss in this one.
- Wrapping up tonight's slate, Arizona State will host Washington (5:00 PM PST, ESPNU), while Washington State gets the distinct pleasure of visiting the No. 1 team in the nation – Arizona (7:00 PM PST, Pac-12 Networks) – without the services of its best player in the lineup. DaVonte Lacy remains out following surgery to remove his appendix, meaning the Cougars had better find a way to get some scoring from guys like Royce Woolridge and Que Johnson, or risk suffering a ridiculously lopsided loss in Tucson.
- UCLA and USC won't tip off their conference play until they face each other on Sunday afternoon (12:00 PST, Fox Sports 1), but former Bruins' great and current ESPN broadcaster Bill Walton took in his first UCLA game of the Steve Alford era last weekend against Alabama and wasted no time in making his thoughts known. In short, Big Red thinks that the Alford era is already a huge upgrade over the slow and joyless Ben Howland era. But Coach Alford, beware. You still had better win. And fast. And regularly.

Cloudera today announced that it has secured $160 million in new financing to advance its distribution of the open source Hadoop big data platform.
The move brings the company's total funding up to $300 million and reflects how bullish investors are on the Hadoop platform being a major tool for companies to handle their data in the future.
+MORE AT NETWORK WORLD: 18 Essential tools for crunching big data | Nine Hadoop companies you should know +
Equally as interesting as the investment are the investors: T. Rowe Price led the investment round, with support from Google Ventures and a firm that's affiliated with Michael Dell. That contradicts reports from earlier today that the company would be announced up to $200 million in funding led by Intel.
The Google Ventures investment is particularly interesting because Google has its own Hadoop as a Service named BigQuery. "We see broad demand from enterprises who want a flexible approach to handling large amounts of data, and we expect this market to continue to grow rapidly," said Google Ventures General Partner Karim Faris in a press release distributed by Cloudera. "Cloudera is dramatically lowering the cost of reliable storage for the enterprise and is enabling the analysis and mining of large data sets in a way that wasn't possible before."
Cloudera emerged from stealth in 2009 and is now one of the leading providers of a product based on the open source Apache Hadoop project. Other major competitors include Hortonworks, Teradata, MapR Technologies, Microsoft and Amazon Web Services.

A plan to impose tougher penalties on restaurants, cafes and takeaways infested with pests is good news for diners across Scotland.
Business owners found guilty of food safety offences could now face much bigger fines or even jail terms following the introduction of new sentencing guidelines which came into force this week.
The British Pest Control Association (BPCA) say restaurants and takeaways which ignore pest management are putting the lives of their customers at risk and hopes the move will ensure every catering business in the area takes their responsibility for pest control seriously.
But it insists stronger punishments will only act as a greater deterrent if they're imposed across the board, from large organisations to sole traders, on a regular basis.
Simon Forrester, chief executive of the BPCA, said: "The laws governing food hygiene make business owners fully responsible for pest control at their premises.
"Those who ignore it and end up with infestations on their sites should be made to pay the price.
"Sentencing in recent years doesn't seem to have had much of an impact as harsh penalties have rarely been imposed. So while the move to introduce tougher punishments to those who flout food safety laws is great news for consumers, it must be strictly applied and on a uniform basis.
"Pest management is a primary obligation for owners of every type of food business and we hope the prospect of bigger fines, or even jail in extreme cases, will ensure the subject is now at the top of their agenda."
The new guidelines, published by the Sentencing Council, cover a multitude of food safety and hygiene offences. These include penalties for businesses discovered to have pest infestations will now be assessed on a sliding scale depending on a number of factors including the harm it has caused, the potential impact and how far owners have fallen short of expected standards.
The BPCA says owners of catering establishments must be made to realise the importance of pest management and the potential impact of ignoring it, both on their customers and their business.

Scribblenauts – Cheats
Easily Pass Some Action Levels
Some action stages can be easily completed by spawning a pair of handcuffs and attaching them to the Starite found on the level. Then spawn a vending machine and place it next to the handcuffed Starite. Attach the other end of the handcuffs to the vending machine and it should give you the option to "fill" it with the Starite. Once the Starite is in the vending machine, simply drag it to Maxwell and click it to empty it out. This exploit is also said to work with other objects that can be filled such as baskets.

Easy Advanced Mode
The game ignores adjectives you try to put when writing any word, so writing "Small Hat" or "Big Hat" will only be recognized as "Hat", and will spawn the same thing. The exploit is in the fact that during Advanced Mode, the game will NOT accuse "same word" if you type an adjective before the word itself, eventhough the exact same thing is spawned. You can clear a stage three times by typing "Wings" the first time, "Big Wings" the second time and "Small Wings" the third time, you'll simply get the Wings all three times, but the game will register 3 different words and will allow it. If you're feeling lazy, you don't even have to put in a proper adjective, since the game doesn't recognize them, simply typing "aaa Wings" will register as "Wings", the game ignores the "aaa" as an Adjective (even if it really isn't one).

Unlimited items
To correctly perform this glitch, you'll need to do the following:
*Spawn an item that automatically destructs itself such as "rick roll" or "do not want".
*Drop it and pick it up before it destroys itself.
*Hold onto the item and wait until it gets destroyed.
*After that, put the item in the trash bin.
The game now thinks that you deleted two items instead of one, and the item bar on the top screen depleted more than normal.
This glitch allows you use more items than usual and can be done as many times as the player wants.
Note: This glitch can NOT be done in the level editor.

Story highlights
- Venezuela's interior minister will discuss capture, drug seizure Wednesday
- Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos announced the capture
- Daniel "El Loco" Barrera is accused of alliances with paramilitaries, drug trafficking
- The CIA assisted in his capture, Colombian president says
Authorities have captured one of Colombia's last great crime bosses, President Juan Manuel Santos said Tuesday night.
Accused drug lord Daniel "El Loco" Barrera was captured in San Cristobal, Venezuela, Santos said. Barrera is accused of alliances with paramilitaries and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia guerrilla group in addition to drug trafficking crimes over a period of more than 20 years.
"He is the last of the great (crime) bosses. This is very forceful blow," Santos said in televised remarks.
"This is a very important step toward the security that we want to achieve in this country," he said.
The operation, directed from Washington, came about with collaboration between British, Colombian, U.S. and Venezuelan officials, Santos said.
"I want to thank the Venezuelan government, President (Hugo) Chavez and his team, for this great collaboration that has produced this capture," Santos said.
The MI6 British intelligence agency and the CIA also assisted, he said.
Venezuela's interior minister will discuss Barrera's capture and "the seizure of more than a ton of drugs" in a news conference Wednesday morning, the nation's information ministry said in a statement.
In October 2010, Colombian authorities said they found more than $29 million and 17 million euros in cash stashed in two homes that Barrera owned. At the time the South American country's defense minister called it the "biggest drug-money seizure operation in the country's history."
Earlier that year, the U.S. Department of the Treasury said Barrera played a significant role in international drug trafficking and described him as one of Colombia's most wanted drug traffickers, noting in a statement that the Colombian government had offered a $2.5-million reward for information leading to his capture.
The statement said Barrera operated primarily in the eastern plains of Colombia, between the capital of Bogota and the Venezuelan border.
An indictment unsealed in a Florida federal court in September 2011 accuses Barrera of conspiring to manufacture, distribute and import cocaine into the United States. If convicted on those charges, he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison, the U.S. Attorney's Office said at the time.

Second attempt to install OpenBSD on my troublesome system
How i can be 100 % sure that my computer work before the installation?
I tried NetBSD 5.1 (livecd) and the keyboard stop to function when i'm on the prompt. So i can't use it at all.
Yesterday i tried even OpenBSD 5.0 (livecd) and seem ok.
Which information - and using which command from the livecd - i must give you for be 100 % sure that everything work even after a real installation?
If everything is ok i will remove one linux distro from my system so i can give an all disk at openbsd (6gb of an old disk ...).
If you used one of my 5.0 live media images, the OS is 5.0-release. The only difference is a modified set of rc(8) scripts.
Yes i used your livecd.
Now I've found that using the livecd I can't access the internet how to fix?
Is your network connection WiFi?
It was recently brought to my attention that because WiFi connections are not automated in my scripts, this may be an issue for those new to the OS. Wired Ethernet connections are automated, as long as the connection is physically made before booting.
To enable a WiFi, DHCP connection:
1. Discover the name of the attached WiFi NIC driver:
$ ifconfig
This will list all of the network interfaces, including pseudo devices like lo0 and pflog0. If you have both wired and wireless NICs, look for a NIC with an associated "nwid" field -- the SSID.
2. Define your SSID to attach to, and associated security key if used:
Open network:
# ifconfig <nic> nwid <SSID>
WPA/WPA2 with pre-shared key:
# ifconfig <nic> nwid <SSID> wpakey <passphrase>
# ifconfig <nic> nwid <SSID> nwkey <key>
3. Request a TCP/IP configuration from the DHCP server on your LAN:
# dhclient <nic>
For more information, please refer to OpenBSD FAQ 6 and these man pages: ifconfig(8) and dhclient(8).
Last edited by jggimi; 22nd February 2012 at 01:05 PM. Reason: clarity
It's a normal Wired Ethernet connections to my router.
During boot my script will search through the NICs looking for connected networks, and will run dhclient to attempt to obtain a TCP/IP configuration.
Possible causes for not having a valid network connection after boot:
a. Not physically connecting the LAN before booting
b. Not having a DHCP server on the LAN
c. Not having a supported NIC.
You should know if a. or b. are the reason for the trouble. As for c. ...
Check the output of "ifconfig" - the pseudo NICs will be lo0, pflog0, and enc0. Do you have any other NICs shown?
Check your dmesg. Look for devices which are recognized, but for which there is no driver. They are shown as "not configured". Any NICs without drivers?
$ dmesg | grep 'not configured'
No issue using static or dinamic IP with Linux.
For type the command more easy i tried to change the layout of the keyboard
#wsconsctl -w keyboard.encoding=it
but seem without success.
I will try to write on paper what you ask.
You can route the output of those commands to filesystems on USB or diskette, if that is easier than writing them out by hand. See OpenBSD FAQ 4.16 for an example of capturing a dmesg from the bsd.rd ramdisk installer, which would be similar.
Mounting these filesystems if defined via MBR is fairly easy. Step 1 - use disklabel(8) to determine what partition letters have been assigned to the partitions. IDE drives are wd0, wd1, wd2... and SCSI/USB/SATA drives are sd0, sd1, sd2... For example:
# disklabel sd2
That will produce a report of the partition letters assigned by OpenBSD (virtually) for the third SCSI/USB/SATA drive. Foreign filesystems with MBR partitions will be assigned letters between "i" and "p". Partition "c" is reserved, and is always the entire drive.
Step 2:
Mount the desired partition. Example:
# mount /dev/sd2i /mnt
That will mount the "i" partition of drive sd2 as /mnt.
One more comment:
Foreign filesystems that may be mounted read write are: FAT (12/16/32), EXT2, and EXT3 (as EXT2). These will appear in disklabel text as MSDOS and ext2fs.
Using ifconfig i have:
rc0: ethernet autoselect (10baseT half-duplex)
$ dmesg | grep 'not configured'
"VIA VT6306 Firewire ..."
no other message.
On linux, using:
$ ip addr
Perhaps if is change the dhcp is possible resolve more fast this issue.
I already tried:
#route add -net 22.214.171.124/24 192.168.1.1
but without success.
I made this new restart before you posted these new message about the use of disklabel.
Now i have make another attempt using disklabel.
So, finally, i can give you the data as seen by openbsd 5.
$ dmesg | grep 'not configured'
"VIA VT6306 FireWire" rev 0xc0 at pci3 dev 7 function 0 not configured
I don't use it.
Excellent! Thank you!
Here is what I see, from ifconfig:
re0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr 00:1b:fc:6f:ec:69 priority: 0 media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT half-duplex) status: no carrier

Last edited by jggimi; 22nd February 2012 at 08:06 PM. Reason: improved clarity
But if this was a cable connection problem, this system should not work using any other OS.
So i think is a driver problem.
If is available i can even try a current livecd (but i don't find it) on the hope that a more update driver can solve that problem.
I agree with you, this is a problem that appears to be software.
I do not have -current live media ... but the OpenBSD Project's -current install media can be used for testing.
1. Download /pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/<arch>/cd51.iso from your nearest mirror, burn to CD, and boot.
2. At the "(i)nstall, (u)pgrade, or (s)hell" prompt, type "s" and press Enter.
3. # ifconfig re0
If the output from ifconfig looks the same, then the problem still exists. If, however,
you now show a connected Ethernet (and perhaps better than 10mbps/half-duplex), you may check to see if you can obtain a network connection:
4. # dhclient re0
-current is now about a week or two in development beyond what will be 5.1-release, expected to be available on or about 1 May 2012.
Now i tried it but i obtain the same output.
Anyway there is one thing that i don't understand, if i made, for example:
#ping www.google.it
#ping www.yahoo.it
What i mean, if the connection don't work, i should obtain 0 packets received and 100 % packet loss and don't this output.
Your IPv4 TCP/IP configuration comes from DHCP -- if ping is working, you must now have a TCP/IP configuration, and the output from ifconfig must be different for re0.
You cannot still be showing "no carrier" and have no IPv4 configuration, and have a working IPv4 ping function as you've shown.
#ifconfig -a
# ifconfig re0
I believe you. But I am very confused, because, in order for an IPv4 ping by domain name to function, the following must be in place:
After a "successful" ping such as you have shown, without a valid IP configuration, I would want to know:
I finally found the issue!
If, after the shell, i take the output from the command
# ifconfig re0
before run
# dhclient re0
the network give that strange result while if i take it after the run of the dhclient, i obtain the correct output.
So I asked myself, why not do a new test with the livecd 5 - i used the fluxbox image - but, this time, forcing the launch of the dhclient after i already inside of fluxbox, despite, this time, everything should be automatic.
And it is work!
So, in the end, the issue seem inside the livecd, where strangely the dhclient seem don't be launched during the boot.
$ ifconfig re0
Now i' m writing from the inside of the livecd openbsd 5.
Using the follow command from inside the livecd
# wsconsctl keyboard.encoding=it
keyboard.encoding -> it
don' t give the change so was more difficult write the things, i have made some copy and past on some letters.

ALGIERS, Algeria (Reuters) - The death toll has risen to at least 48 hostages killed during a four-day siege at a gas plant deep in the Sahara as a veteran Islamist fighter claimed responsibility on behalf of al Qaeda for the attack.
Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal is expected to give details at a Monday news conference about one of the worst international hostage crises in decades, which left American, British, French, Japanese, Norwegian and Romanian workers dead or missing.
A security source said on Sunday Algerian troops had found the bodies of 25 hostages, raising the number of militants and their captives killed to at least 80. He said six militants were captured alive and troops were still searching for others.
One-eyed veteran Islamist fighter Mokhtar Belmokhtar claimed responsibility on Sunday for the attack on behalf of al Qaeda.
"We in al Qaeda announce this blessed operation," he said in a video, according to Sahara Media, a regional website. He said about 40 attackers participated in the raid, roughly matching the government's figures for fighters killed and captured.
The fighters swooped out of the desert and seized the base on Wednesday, capturing a plant that produces 10 percent of Algeria's natural gas exports, as well as a nearby residential barracks.
They demanded an end to French air strikes against Islamist fighters in neighboring Mali that had begun five days earlier. However, U.S. and European officials doubt such a complex raid could have been organized quickly enough to have been conceived as a direct response to the French military intervention.
The siege turned bloody on Thursday when the Algerian army opened fire saying fighters were trying to escape with their prisoners. Survivors said Algerian forces blasted several trucks in a convoy carrying both hostages and their captors.
Nearly 700 Algerian workers and more than 100 foreigners escaped, mainly on Thursday when the fighters were driven from the residential barracks. Some captors remained holed up in the industrial complex until Saturday when they were overrun.
The bloodshed has strained Algeria's relations with its Western allies, some of whom have complained about being left in the dark while the decision to storm the compound was being taken. Nevertheless, Britain and France both defended the Algerian military action.
"It's easy to say that this or that should have been done. The Algerian authorities took a decision and the toll is very high but I am a bit bothered ... when the impression is given that the Algerians are open to question," said French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius. "They had to deal with terrorists."
British Prime Minister David Cameron said in a televised statement: "Of course people will ask questions about the Algerian response to these events, but I would just say that the responsibility for these deaths lies squarely with the terrorists who launched this vicious and cowardly attack.
"We should recognize all that the Algerians have done to work with us and to help and coordinate with us. I'd like to thank them for that. We should also recognize that the Algerians too have seen lives lost among their soldiers."
Algeria had given a preliminary death toll of 55 people killed - 23 hostages and 32 militants - on Saturday and said it would rise as more bodies were found.
The security source said that toll did not include the bodies of 25 hostages found on Sunday, which meant the total number of captives killed - foreign and local - was at least 48. The search was not over, and more could yet be found, he said.
Among foreigners confirmed dead by their home countries were three Britons, one American and two Romanians. The missing include at least 10 Japanese, five Norwegians, three other Britons, and a British resident. The security source said at least one Frenchman was also among the dead.
Alan Wright, now safe at home in Scotland, said he had escaped with a group of Algerian and foreign workers after hiding for a day and a night. While hiding inside the compound, he managed to call his wife at home with their two daughters.
"She asked if I wanted to speak to Imogen and Esme, and I couldn't because I thought, I don't want my last ever words to be in a crackly satellite phone, telling a lie, saying you're OK when you're far from OK," he recalled to Sky News.
Despite the incident, Algeria is determined to press on with its energy industry. Oil Minister Youcef Yousfi visited the site and said physical damage was minor, state news service APS reported. The plant would start back up in two days, he said.
The Islamists' assault has tested Algeria's relations with the outside world and exposed the vulnerability of multinational oil operations in the Sahara.
Algeria, scarred by the civil war with Islamist insurgents in the 1990s which claimed 200,000 lives, insisted from the start of the crisis there would be no negotiation in the face of terrorism.
France especially needs close cooperation from Algeria to crush Islamist rebels in northern Mali.

|Ozone-depleting substances
United States of America
Ozone-depleting substancesThe Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is proposing to amend its regulation on uses of ozone-depleting substances (ODSs), including chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), to remove the designation for certain products as "essential uses" under the Clean Air Act. Essential-use products are exempt from the ban by FDA on the use of CFCs and other ODS propellants in FDA-regulated products and from the ban by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on the use of ODSs in pressurized dispensers. This action, if finalized, will remove the essential-use exemptions for sterile aerosol talc administered intrapleurally by thoracoscopy for human use and for metered-dose atropine sulfate aerosol human drugs administered by oral inhalation. FDA is proposing this action because alternative products that do not use ODSs are now available and because these products are no longer being marketed in versions that contain ODSs.
