Amy Grant is set to release her first full album of all new songs in 10 years.
The Grammy-winning Christian recording artist's "How Mercy Looks From Here" will be available May 14.
The album was produced by Marshall Altman and includes guest vocalists James Taylor, Carole King, Sheryl Crow, Will Hoge and Eric Paslay, who wrote the only song not penned by Grant on the album. Grant's husband, Vince Gill, also makes an appearance.
The Nashville-based singer-songwriter is among the most successful Christian artists with multi-platinum album sales and crossover success on the pop music charts.
Grant started the album after a conversation with her mother, who passed away in 2011, and promises "no filler" in a news release announcing the record.

QB Casey Pachall leaving TCU
Suspended TCU quarterback Casey Pachall (PAW'-hall) is leaving
school for the rest of the semester and enrolling at an inpatient
rehabilitation facility.
Coach Gary Patterson made the announcement Tuesday, five days
after the junior starter was arrested on suspicion of drunken
driving near campus. That came eight months after Pachall admitted
to police that he smoked marijuana and failed a team-administered
drug test.
Patterson said most of the inpatient programs like the one
Pachall will enter are 30 to 60 days. The coach said that keeps the
door open for Pachall re-enrolling at TCU next spring.
Redshirt freshman Trevone Boykin threw for 270 yards and had
three interceptions Saturday as Iowa State beat TCU 37-23. The
Horned Frogs (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) will face Baylor (3-1, 0-1) on

Popular culture frequently depicts bouncers as bulky, imposing men who break up fights and throw people out onto sidewalks.
Local bar owners say this couldnt be further from the truth. In fact, most bouncers are no longer known by that name. Theyre called everything from floor staff to door hosts.
Bouncers are hired muscle. Their job is to throw people out, and thats not the job at all, said Wild Horse co-owner Amber Morris, referring to why they eschew the title bouncer.
Floor staff, as Wild Horse calls them, are there as peacekeepers. The bar has a strict policy of not getting physical with patrons.
Kevin Gross, head of the Saloons floor staff, said his job at the bar on East Second Avenue is really customer service.
Our job is not to be physically imposing, he said. We try to eliminate situations before it becomes a problem because the majority of the bar can see when it gets physical.
Gross said 30 percent of patrons will leave within 10 minutes of a fight, which are actually somewhat rare. They typically occur only once or twice a month, said bouncers who were interviewed for this story.
Far more frequent are verbal altercations. Bouncers typically will separate the two parties and the disagreement will end there. One of the main responsibilities of bouncers is to anticipate such disagreements and separate the parties before it ends in a brawl.
Theres no crazy wild bar fights, said James Holmes, a door host at Colorado Pongas.
The door hosts are constantly observing body language, how someones shoulders are positioned and listening for raised voices to anticipate a fight before it breaks out, said Pongas owner J.R. Spies.
Knowing when an interaction is friendly joking or about to turn ugly is a natural skill, and either you have it or you dont, Spies said, whose bar is located on west Eighth Street.
This skill and a persons demeanor are the first attributes owners look for when hiring bouncers. Applicants disposition is ultimately more important than how big they are.
As Morris put it, its all about attitude and patience, which cant be taught.
If you get someone who flies off the handle fast, it can create a bigger problem than the one you had to start with, she said.
In the event a fight does break out, former El Rancho bouncer Ryan Flaherty said it is fairly simple to restrain the intoxicated parties by using their balance and weight against them.
Locals also are great to have around and will help bouncers break up a fight when necessary, he said of his nights working at the bar on Main Avenue and 10th Street.
Morris said that locals can sometimes be too protective because they sometimes are the first to jump into a fight and help, but often their involvement only escalates the situation.
Flaherty also said it is a comfort knowing that the local police are usually on your side.
Durango Police Department spokesman Ray Shupe said his agency tries to establish good working relationships with all the bars.
Officers frequently do bar checks where they do a walk-through and make sure people arent getting served who are overly intoxicated, he said.
Bars will call police on a range of infractions from fake IDs to theft to brawls on the sidewalk. Five bars made 539 calls to police in the last year for these infractions, along with intoxication, assaults and disturbances. Sgt. Geary Parson with Durango police characterized disturbances as most likely bar fights that ended before police arrived.
Pongas made the most calls, 149, from Oct. 9, 2011, to Oct. 12 of this year, for graffiti, theft and disorderly contact, among others. Wild Horse made the least amount of calls with 60 made for loitering, theft and fraud, among others.
Statistics for the number of phone calls made in previous years were not readily available.
Once a fight moves outside onto the public sidewalk, bouncers cannot get involved.
Even though theyre not breaking up fights every 20 minutes, bouncers said the job is exhausting.
Flaherty worked as a bouncer at El Rancho for two years before quitting to work at a liquor store, saying the job burned him out.
You get to be social, but then again youre also dealing with people who are just completely and totally hammered, Flaherty said. Youre always up late, so school suffers from that. Youre always looking around for someone who is going to start the fight, constantly trying to protect your bartenders.
Wild Horse sees a high turnover of its floaters floor staff who wander the bar rather than stand at the door.
Its a hard job. Put 200 drunk people in a room and it tries your patience real fast, Morris said.
Floor staff workers wander the room looking for overly intoxicated patrons, make sure those who are underage arent sneaking drinks and check IDs.
Every bar interviewed for this story said fake IDs are a common occurrence.
Pongas has a book of IDs from every state, and Spies said he keeps in contact with Durango police to find out what fakes are currently popular.
Brooks Proch, a bouncer at Irish Embassy on Main Avenue and Ninth Street, said hell ask for another form of ID if he suspects one is a fake.
Pongas and Wild Horse allow people younger than 21 on some nights. The Saloon writes down the name and birthday of those patrons, and if theyre caught drinking at the bar theyre 86ed, or banned, until they turn 21. Anyone caught supplying an underage person with a drink is 86ed for life, Gross said.
Snyder said real IDs either given to the individual or found somewhere tend to be more common than fakes.
There has been more than one occasional where a minor has tried to use the ID of someone he knows, Snyder said.

Investors Unfazed as Spending Cuts Loom
Policy makers inside the Beltway are again at loggerheads over the budget, but Wall Street is voicing little concern about the potential for the latest battle to jolt stocks.
Some $85 billion in across-the-board federal spending cuts, known in Washington as the sequestration, are due to kick in on Friday. President Barack Obama said last week at a media event that the cuts "will hurt our economy," while adding "hundreds of thousands of Americans to the unemployment rolls."
Yet investors appear to be largely unfazed. They say that, while the looming series of automatic federal spending cuts pose a threat to growth, similar political theatrics have played out recently with little detriment to stocks. And they say a failure to stave off the cuts could provide a shot–albeit imperfect–of fiscal restraint.

Croakamancyis one of the three disciplines of the [[Magic]] class [[Naughtymancy]]; it is aligned with the axis of [[Fate]].
Revision as of 16:37, 27 March 2012
Proposed Canon
Croakamancy is one of the three disciplines of the Magic class Naughtymancy; it is aligned with the axis of Fate and composed of the two elements of Motion and Matter. Erf-b1-p038a
- Uncroaking deceased units.
- Providing combat bonuses to uncroaked units.
Croakamancy has significant limits - the uncroaked have a limited persistence before they rot down and disintegrate, and the transition to their new twilight existence robs them of a lot of their higher brain functions: Casters lose their magical abilities, warlords lose a great deal of their initiative and command skill, and regular units lose pretty much all trace of their identity. However, some abilities are maintained: An uncroaked warlord can still lead to some degree, and uncroaked flying units can still fly.
Some units, such as wiener-rammers, cannot be uncroaked.
The amount of time and attention a Croakamancer invests in uncroaking a creature has a significant effect - a mass of creatures uncroaked in a hurry will only last a few turns, but an individual or small group carefully revived can last a very long time indeed.
Known Croakamancers
Wanda Firebaugh - Chief Croakamancer of Gobwin Knob. Previously a unit in the Kingdom of Faq.
Known Caster Links
So far the only known caster link involving Croakamancy was the uncroaking of the Gobwin Knob volcano which ended the Battle for Gobwin Knob. This required the linkup of a Dirtamancer (Sizemore Rockwell) and a Master Croakamancer (Wanda Firebaugh) by an experienced Thinkamancer (Maggie). Such a casting should not be expected to occur with any great frequency.
It is likely that constructed units, such as golems, cannot be uncroaked.
With the Arkenpliers, Wanda is able to Decrypt units - to bring back the dead with all their abilities and most of their memories intact, but loyal to the caster and her side. Many casters believe this takes Croakamancy into the realm of Life magic, which is normally its antithesis. Many casters find this to be unnatural, and thus, wrong.

Whenever possible, I prefer swimming with other people - either with a training partner or in a coached squad workout. But occasionally my schedule dictates finding water at a public lap swim session. It's possible to get a good workout at open lap swim, but it takes a bit of planning and training know-how.
Based on my observations at hundreds of public lap swim sessions over the years, there are some folks who come to swim laps, desire to become better swimmers, but simply don't know how to go about the task. For those without a background in competitive swimming or similar sport, it may not be at all obvious.
For example, one of the more common approaches I see at the pool consists of: (1) Getting in the water. (2) Swimming continuously for X amount of time. (3) Getting out.
With that in mind, here are a few pointers on getting the most out of solo workouts at a public lap swim session:
Learn proper lane etiquette.
It will be less frustrating for you… and everyone around you in the pool.
- Advanced Pool Etiquette for Masters Swimmers, Lesson 1: Awareness
- Advanced Pool Etiquette for Masters Swimmers, Lesson 2: Personal Space
- On pool etiquette and experience
- Menaces to (swim) society: How to be a pool asshole
- Lane swimming etiquette (Loneswimmer.com)
Have a workout plan.
Not necessarily a full written workout with every detail, but at least a basic mental structure of a workout. What do you want to accomplish today?
A basic workout structure can be as simple as this:
- Warm-up - mostly easy swimming.
- Technique work & build into main set.
- Main set.
- Kick or pull set.
- Cool-down.
Interval training is more efficient than continuous swimming.
Continuous low-intensity swimming is an inefficient way to build cardiovascular endurance. Interval training (repetitions of shorter distances, swum at higher intensities than one could sustain continuously) is far more effective.
Check out the Marathon Swimmers Forum for some good example interval sets:
- The Animal Set Thread (marathonswimmers.org)
- The Lunchtime Set Thread (marathonswimmers.org)
Don't rely on pool gear.
Fins, paddles, buoys and snorkels are swim tools, designed for specific purposes, typically strength or technique-related. When you use any swim tool for an entire workout (or majority of it), it's no longer a tool but rather a swim aid.
If you can't swim without fins, in my view, you can't swim. What happens when they fall off accidentally in the ocean? If you always strap on paddles for the main set, what happens when you compete and you can't use your paddles.
Learn flip turns - even if you only compete in open water.
If you do open turns, you're basically coming to a complete stop between every length of the pool. Open turns are surprisingly common among triathletes, even relatively fast ones. I've never understood it; plus it looks goofy. Flip turns (sometimes called tumble turns) allow you to transfer much more momentum from one length to the next. It makes pool swimming much more bearable.
Learn all four strokes - even if you only compete in freestyle/front-crawl.
Different strokes work different muscle groups, and it will make you a better athlete. Backstroke can provide a nice change of pace for your shoulders after too much front-crawl.

Flexner on Finishing: Spray Gun Maintenance
Avoid problems and lengthen the life of your tool with two simple acts.
By Bob Flexner
Pages: 98-99
As with any tool, a properly working spray gun is a joy to use. On the other hand, one that isn't working well can go unused or even end up in the trash if you don't know how to resolve the problems.
You can avoid most problems by keeping your spray gun well maintained. There are three levels of maintenance: lubricate the moving parts, clean the spray gun and rebuild the spray gun.

text: People speak of "the public interest." But what is the public interest? Strictly speaking, there is no such thing. There is only the interest of each individual human being. There are interests that many or all people share, but these are still the interests of individuals. When politicians say that something is "to the public interest," they usually mean it serves the interests of some people but goes against the interests of others — and usually the interests of the people with the most political pull win out. Is it to the public interest for some to be forced to die so that others may be saved? Is it to the public interest for a hundred crazed men to lynch one man in the public square? Is it to the public interest for all the citizens of the nation to be taxed to pay for a federal dam in one section of it? In Sweden it takes a couple eight years on the average before they can obtain an apartment of their own (owned by the government, rented by them); but they are not supposed to complain, because "it's in the public interest." Just as there are only individual rights, so there are only individual interests.

Hampstead's North End cottages depicted in this image are now gone. They were very quaint and inspired a few other paintings, photos and postcards. In this image we are presented with a very rural Hampstead, likely painted by Fred Cook sometime in the 1890s. Cook's bright colours give a vibrancy to the paintings and the cottages.

SARASOTA, Fla. --The Orioles face the Pirates today at Ed Smith Stadium. This will be the first time they face the Buccos after Tuesday's road game in Bradenton was canceled by strong showers.
Today will mark right-hander Jason Hammel's Grapefruit League debut. Hammel didn't pitch in a game during the pitchers' first rotation, instead throwing an indoor simulated bullpen session on Tuesday at the Ed Smith Stadium complex.
Coming out of that session, Hammel said his right knee, which placed him on the DL twice last season, feels strong. He wanted to get a few extra days to test the knee while running in spikes because he hadn't done that this offseason and it was something he did following a procedure with his left knee earlier in his career.
I mentioned this in my notes yesterday, buy third baseman Manny Machado is quietly having a strong spring so far. He's 4-for-7 with three walks, giving him a .700 on-base percentage. It's obviously a small sample size, but it's definitely a good sign that Machado is feeling comfortable at the plate in the early weeks of his first real big league camp.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter has sent Machado on the road the past two games, but that's not unexpected given this is his first big league spring training. Last year, he played in several Grapefruit League games, but he did so as a minor league player brought over from Twin Lakes Park.

For a commercial that ultimately revolves around the selling of shoes and jerseys, there's a lot going on here: Marshawn Lynch, a wrecking ball, Troy Polamalu, a Larry Fitzgerald-branded sports car, Larry Fitzgerald, burning tires, Marshawn Lynch running, Darrelle Revis, a floating jet engine, an aflame (yet unconcerned) Calvin Johnson, LeSean McCoy, Alex Smith throwing a football into your face, an oil drum imploding from unseen forces (perhaps the vacuum of space), Darrelle Revis deflecting a pass, Larry Fitzgerald catching a different pass, Larry Fitzgerald dropping off your delivery of sod, the evacuation procedures for a major airliner, a hare, a tortoise, a three-man drum corps wearing Giants and Patriots jerseys, Calvin Johnson reading a bomb's countdown clock, LeSean McCoy busting through the wind tunnel, Troy Polamalu busting through the wrecking ball, and Mike Carey signaling a LeSean McCoy touchdown, all taking place inside the Brightly Lit Stadium Tunnel to Nowhere.
The commercial airs tonight after the Colts pick Andrew Luck. And the spot was actually directed by Mark Romanek, who did the music videos for "Closer" and "Hurt." Now it almost makes sense.

Rose Ella Barry gave up her driver's license and sold her car on Jan. 1. She said she was perfectly fit to drive, but doubted that the Department of Motor Vehicles would renew the license of a 102-year-old.
"I knew damn well they wouldn't give me a license when it ran out in February," she said.
Mrs. Barry, a resident of Stratton Hill Park apartments in Worcester, celebrated her 102nd birthday a day early on Feb. 1 at the Lorraine Gleick Nordgren Senior Center in Auburn with about 30 of her friends.
"She's a great gal. People love her," said Patty R. Hubbard, nutrition site director in Auburn.
Mrs. Barry is sharp and smart, with a quirky sense of humor and a remarkable memory. Her complexion is smooth, so she looks like a woman a half-century younger than she is.
She said her secrets for aging gracefully are exercising every day, eating right, "going with the flow," and using only Dove soap and Pond's Cold Cream on her face. Her only makeup is lipstick.
"I'm a happy-go-lucky person," she said.
She said this was not her first encounter with the Telegram & Gazette.
"I won an art prize from the Telegram when I was 9. Old lady Higgins ran that contest, and I won. I got a tour of the newspaper on Franklin Street. It was great," she said.
She has a photograph of herself wearing a midi blouse and bloomers for her tour of the T&G in 1920.
Mrs. Barry was the third of nine children of Cyril and Florence Gauthier. The family lived for a time on Nixon Avenue in Webster Square. Mrs. Barry, her sister Doris Clark, 95, and brother, Henry Gauthier, 85, all of Worcester, remain.
"I had six sisters and two brothers. We were a very close family. When we lived on Nixon Avenue, we used to go to Worcester Airport when Gordon's was flying planes. That was something!" she said.
During World War I, Wyman-Gordon Co. supplied parts for Curtis Jenny biplanes, which were tested from Worcester airport.
During that "war to end all wars," Mr. Gauthier worked at Fort Devens building homes for troops, and supplemented the family income by selling apples from his wagon, pulled by his horse team.
The family moved to College Hill in the city when Mr. Gauthier built the family a new home on Epworth and Electric streets.
Rose was 17 years old when her father died.
"He was working on the Old South Church on Main Street and Piedmont Street when he fell 40 feet off the roof, leaving my mother with nine children. The youngest was 2," Mrs. Barry said.
"My mother had pulled me out of school when I was 14 so I could work. I've worked all my life."
While working at a fashion shop on King Street, Rose attended Worcester Vocational School and graduated at 16 with a diploma in clothing.
She said she mainly worked in garment shops, but also became one of a small army of women selling Larkin Co. products door-to-door. That formerly successful company folded during the Great Depression.
"I bought a camera while I was selling Larkin's. That's why I'm not in most of my pictures. I was taking them."
Her family was extremely religious, which she remains. She belongs to St. Christopher's Roman Catholic Church and watches Mass every day on television and receives Communion at least once a month in her apartment.
"I pray for everybody every day. I once wanted to be a nun like my aunt in Canada, but she said to take my time and make sure," Mrs. Barry said.
Instead, she married Rene Lagace, a World War I veteran and a meat broker 15 years her senior. The couple had one daughter, Jeanne R. Servin, who became a vice president of Commerce Bank before her retirement, and two grandsons, Richard and Brian Servin. Mrs. Servin works with her son Brian, who owns and operates Best Business Systems computer and printer service at 380 Burncoat St. in the city.
Mrs. Barry was widowed at age 38 when a chicken bone Mr. Lagace had accidentally swallowed pierced his intestine. "My daughter was 11 when he died. He was a good father."
Widowed young, Mrs. Barry married again, but that did not work out. She continued to work to support her daughter and sewed most of their clothes, including her daughter's prom gowns.
"I sewed so much, I hate it now," she said, pointing to her sewing machine, which she uses as a table.
She also is a talented artist. A painting of blue delphiniums and red poppies in her living room, once hung in a hospital in Indianapolis when she lived there. She also made ceramics and other artworks.
"I love all sorts of crafts," she said.
She is a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion Auxiliary, and is a past president of the Morrisette American Legion Post in Quincy.
In her younger days, she traveled extensively, including trips to Jamaica, Hawaii, the Coral Islands and the Virgin Islands, though she never learned to swim. She enjoyed several trips to Las Vegas, where she played poker and slots. She said she never had any interest in traveling to Europe.
"I loved dancing. I can't dance now, but I exercise every day," she said.
She was living on Greenwood Street in Worcester 30 years ago, when she began driving to Auburn to bowl at the AMF Auburn Lanes and enjoy lunch and card games at the senior center.
She stopped bowling when she was nearly 100, but kept driving herself to Auburn to enjoy lunch and socialize four days a week until giving up her license last month.
"I still want to come to Auburn, but now I need a ride. It's very difficult," she said. She is hoping the Worcester Regional Transit Authority will work with her to get her to Auburn regularly.
"That senior center is a great place with good people," she said.
Her attitude toward life can be summed up by her response to a nurse who asked Mrs. Barry if she wanted extraordinary measures taken to keep her alive should she fall ill.
She said, "Of course! I love life. I want to live as long as God wants me to.' "

Decades ago, when Paul and I were college friends and roommates, he was the first person I ever heard rip the New York Times. Not because he was a conservative; we were both Commies, more or less, at the time. But Paul, who was then a fan of the Washington Post, thought that the Times was grossly overrated. Among other things, he pointed out that the Times had the worst sports section of any newspaper in America.
Which brings me to today's NY Times corrections section, which contains this remarkable entry:
Because of an editing error, the baseball standings on Wednesday listed the Yankees twice. They remain where they have always been, in the American League — not also in the National.
It was an "editing error," which means that some editor changed "Mets" to "Yankees" in the National League East standings. Which is more likely, that the editor is a fanatical Yankees fan who did it in a fit of anti-Mets loyalty, or that he didn't know that there are two baseball teams in New York? I suspect the latter: it's sort of like how the paper's news staff hasn't figured out that America has two political parties.

My sister's girl Mametchi, Angel, and my boy one, Derix, decided to mate today. At first I didn't know what was up. We connected and neither of our tamagotchis would do anything but shake their heads. Then Derix jumped into Angel's screen and there were hearts, then a black screen, and then fireworks. When that all cleared up, Angel was looking like she was going to poop (hehe) and two girl babies popped out (no eggs at all). Both Angel and Derix transformed into adults 48 hours ago.
NEways, I thought it was funny. So now we can start gen2! I wish Derix didn't have to go byebye whenever he has to heh. Okay enough babbling.

A Derryfield double dip: Mayor sees an 'opportunity'EDITORIAL
March 17. 2018 11:57PM
Never let it be said that Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig misses a chance to grab some cash.
The city of Manchester and the owners of the Derryfield Restaurant have a pretty good arrangement. The city owns the property, along with the municipal golf course. The restaurant owners have a long-term lease, paying the city 1.5 percent of the gross revenue they bring in. That might not seem high, but the restaurant business is one of the most difficult of retail operations.
The owners just recently worked with the city to extend that lease, agreeing to a minimum monthly payment and an increase in base rent that should pay the city nearly $150,000 per year.
The initial deal was struck long before state-authorized Keno gambling came into being. Manchester OK'd Keno, and the Derryfield Restaurant opted in, figuring it would bring in more business.
Aldermen on the Lands and Building committee were apparently OK with amending the lease to include Keno as a permitted use. But that's when Mayor Craig stepped in.
"I think the city has an opportunity, a responsibility, to the taxpayer to negotiate an opportunity for new revenue. The city should benefit a little," said the mayor.
Notice how she caught herself and changed "opportunity'' into "a responsibility'' before reverting to form and calling it what it is: a chance for more money, even "a little."
She wants 25 percent of the 8 percent cut of Keno revenue that the Derryfield will be paid by the state Lottery Commission. That may not be much, but it was enough to have some aldermen dreaming up ways to spend it. The matter is now back before committee.
Derryfield's owners could argue that the business that Keno brings in will benefit the city through the increased gross revenues in which the city will automatically share.
But we wouldn't bet on that argument persuading Craig, who sees an "opportunity'' to double-dip at the Derryfield.

In many ways, the Guild Cinema is the perfect place to host the Independent Indigenous Film Festival. The word "indigenous" is defined as, "Belonging to a place: originating in and naturally living, growing or occurring in a region or country." Being the only independent, locally owned movie theater left in Albuquerque, the Guild is a unique belonging of our local arts scene. Would you hold a festival celebrating and fostering indigenous cultural values and identity in a vast megaplex owned by an out-of-state corporation, or would you place it firmly on the screen of a theater that has been living and growing in our city for the last 40 years? ... Yeah, so would the organizers of the 1st Annual Independent Indigenous Film Festival.
Shawna Shandiin Sunrise is another of New Mexico's indigenous treasures. She is a Dine and Santo Domingo filmmaker. Her mother is Pearl Sunrise, a weaver, soloist and professor at the Institute of American Indian Arts, and her father was Bill A. Sunrise, the original director of the famed Indian Village at the State Fair. Sunrise is currently the only Native American member of the City of Albuquerque's Arts Board and has been producing the cable access show "Nativezine" for the past 4 years. Who better, then, to serve as festival director for the Independent Indigenous Film Festival?
According to its manifesto, the festival will feature "a series of new oral chronicles told from an indigenous worldview through images in animation, experimental, documentary film and video." The festival is designed to spotlight works from indigenous peoples all over the world, an alternative to what Sunrise calls, "the Hollywood Indian point of view." The festival is being sponsored by Americans for Indian Opportunity and the City of Albuquerque Film Department.
Among the films screening this weekend will be three New Mexico premieres. "Raven Tales" is a computer-animated series written, produced, directed and voiced by an all-Native American team. The very first episode of the proposed series premiered locally at the Alibi Short Film Fiesta in 2004, went on to screen in the Governor's Cup Film Competition and ultimately claimed 22 film festival awards worldwide. The long-awaited second episode, following the further adventures of mythical trickster Raven, will be unveiled at the Indigenous Film Festival.
In an interesting bit of synchronicity, the festival will also have the local premiere of New Zealand's very first adult animated sitcom, "bro'Town." The show is based on the proudly un-P.C. satire of the multitalented Naked Samoans theater troupe and fearlessly confronts issues like racism and violence.
Another highlight of the festival is sure to be Conversion. The film, by Navajo Nation filmmaker Nanobah Becker, is set in the '50s and shows how a visit by Christian missionaries has devastating consequences for a family in a remote corner of the Navajo Reservation "Hopefully, I'm creating something for my community--not just the Native community, but all of Albuquerque," says Sunrise.

As we all know, Google is neck-deep in bogus lawsuits with patent troll companies. One of those patent trolls is Oracle. The company has decided to go after Android with claims that the OS infringes on Oracle's Java code.
Well, the funny thing is, Oracle did not own Java when Android was released in 2007. It belonged to Sun Microsystems, later acquired by Oracle in 2009. You might argue Oracle bought Sun with the sole purpose of bullying companies like Google into paying for the use of Java, but that's a topic for another day.
So if Sun was the owner of Java when Google announced Android, how did the company feel about those "thieves" at Google "stealing" Java for their own benefit? They were pretty happy about it. In fact on a blog post in 2007, Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz praised Google for their use of Java and Linux on Android. Here's an excerpt from that blog post:
I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of others from Sun in offering my heartfelt congratulations to Google on the announcement of their new Java/Linux phone platform, Android. Congratulations!
I'd also like Sun to be the first platform software company to commit to a complete developer environment around the platform, as we throw Sun's NetBeans developer platform for mobile devices behind the effort. We've obviously done a ton of work to support developers on all Java based platforms, and were pleased to add Google's Android to the list.
And needless to say, Google and the Open Handset Alliance just strapped another set of rockets to the community's momentum - and to the vision defining opportunity across our (and other) planets.
Today is an incredible day for the open source community, and a massive endorsement of two of the industry's most prolific free software communities, Java and Linux.Jonathan SchwartzSun CEO
Now, if that doesn't sound like a full approval of Android's use of Java, I don't know what would. Sun was not only 100% behind Android, they were also the first one to build "a complete developer environment around the platform." In typical rodent manner, Oracle deleted Schwartz's blog post, which only resulted in even more damage to the company's case against Google.
As with everything on the Internet, nothing is ever truly deleted. And it only took a couple minutes for somebody to pull up a copy of the blog post from the Wayback Machine. Google is now using this endorsement from Schwartz as part of their defense, and the case's judge condemned Oracle's actions, saying: "The big companies do not own the U.S. District Court. When it comes to a public hearing I'm not going to resort to Morse code to figure out what you are saying. This is not a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oracle. Nobody is going to put my word under seal even if I refer to your secret documents." Ouch.
If Google can prove that Schwartz's statement served as an approval of Android's use of Java, they could easily win this case against Oracle thanks to something called estoppel. (Read more about here).
Hopefully, the judge will see through Oracle's lies and deceits as we all do, and rule in favor of Google, Android and the open source community.

Hello, I would like to let you know that regular imaging software to back up or restore information from a regular hard drive to an Solid State Drive will not work since this type of software was not meant to work using Solid State Drives, SSD's work in a very different way than a regular Hard drive so they won't work.

Had the same problem. Acronis does not recognoze the ITNEL x25-m SSD. I gave up and the SSD is notw in the dustbin. I found out (too late) that even Intel reconizes this problem of non-recognotion. I still want to migrate my Asus UL30 notebook to SSD but seeking a suitable hardware/software combination.

WWII War Ration Books
|Image as appears on referenced page
GenealogyToday has a really neat page about WWII Ration Books
I love the introduction to the page which really captures what we all think, at one time or another.
Genealogists are always in search of new record sources when confronted with a brick wall. Well, can you think of a resource that not only gives you name, address, age and occupation, but also height and weight of a person? Interestingly, the ration books issued during World War Two attempted to capture* these items.
Currently the collection includes over 11,000 entries and there is a nice search feature.
Though my father's family is not yet found listed here (Acey in
more than likely they did receive rations.
My father's father and several grandparents all died before 1945 and I
know that the family lived in pretty dire circumstances. Salem MA
And, that didn't stop me from looking around and boy are these neat! I did NOT "really" appreciate their existence until I started looking around here.
And, there is a nice series of article links where one can learn about ration books!
Have you tracked your family through ration books? Did you make any neat discoveries? Always like to hear about what readers have found!
Editor's Note: The Ames Historical Society has a nice online exhibit about Ration Books etc during WWII as does the American Centuries site.

Libya ambassador nominee vows sufficient security
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's nominee for ambassador to Libya said Tuesday that she will work to ensure sufficient security at U.S. facilities nearly eight months after poor protection in Benghazi was blamed for the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
Deborah Kay Jones, a career diplomat who has served in Kuwait, Argentina, Syria, Iraq and Turkey, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that if she sees any shortfalls in security, she will immediately contact Washington.
"I have throughout my career always had a direct connection with Washington," Jones said. "It is the role of the ambassador. The ambassador is the principle security officer."
If confirmed by the Senate, Jones would fill the post left vacant when Stevens was killed during the Sept. 11 assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission. A scathing independent report concluded that systematic management and leadership failures at the State Department led to "grossly" inadequate security at the mission.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee plans to hold a hearing on the assault Wednesday with former diplomats. Gregory Hicks, who was a diplomat in Tripoli during the attack, has told the committee that four members of Army special forces ready to head to Benghazi after the assault on the American diplomatic mission had ended were told not to go.
Republicans and Democrats on the committee highlighted the difficulty Libya has faced since the ousting and death of longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi.
On Tuesday, Libya's defense minister, Mohammed Al-Barghathi, rescinded his decision to resign in protest over the show of force by militias that stormed government buildings. Al-Barghathi had called it an "assault on democracy and elected authorities."
Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, the top Republican on the panel, asked Jones if the U.S. had underestimated the post-Gadhafi challenges in Libya.
"I don't know that we underestimated," Jones said. "I know the setback of not having an ambassador on the ground. The progress after these kinds of transitions is not formulaic."
Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., chairman of the panel, said the security situation is still difficult and pointed out that "the central government is unable to assert its control outside of Tripoli, and the broader challenge of disarming and reintegrating former-fighters remains."

It should not be altogether surprising that the same U.S. Supreme Court that saw fit to extend freedom of speech rights to corporations would do so with religious liberties, but it does not make Monday's ruling extending the Religious Freedom Restoration Act to corporations any easier to swallow. Though the 5-4 decision is ostensibly limited to "closely held" corporations, the fundamental values it embodies are alarming: Corporate entities have the rights of individuals, but not necessarily the associated responsibilities or liabilities. The result is a power imbalance of distressing – and growing – proportion.
At issue in Burrell vs. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., was whether the Affordable Care Act's provision requiring that employer-provided insurance policies cover contraception was a violation of those corporation's religious rights. The court's majority, in an opinion written by Samuel Alito, says it did.
But no need to worry, says Alito, for the ruling only applies to closely held corporations. Never mind that this is a notion whose definition varies widely; the Internal Revenue Service says they must have more than 50 percent of the value of their stock owned by no more than five individuals during the second half of the tax year – there is plenty of wiggle room in the definition alone. The Supreme Court has based its broad extension of religious liberty on the majority's on an assumption that "it seems unlikely" that corporate giants will make the same claims as smaller companies similar to those that brought suit. That is hardly enough upon which to base a precedent-setting decision.
The court's opinion, though, was primarily concerned with the extent to which the Religious Freedom Restoration Act applies to those who are not human beings, in the flesh. Time and again, the court reiterates just how human the law perceives corporations to be. "A corporation is simply a form of organization used by human beings to achieve desired ends. An established body of law specifies the rights and obligations of the people (including shareholders, officers, and employees) who are associated with a corporation in one way or another. When rights, whether constitutional or statutory, are extended to corporations, the purpose is to protect the rights of these people," Alito wrote.
That may be, but leaping from there to the beliefs that a corporation may engender is a somewhat superhuman feat. In her strong dissent, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg makes a clear distinction between nonprofit religious organizations and corporations that may be controlled by those with strong religious beliefs: "Religious organizations exist to foster the interests of persons subscribing to the same religious faith. Not so of for-profit corporations. Workers who sustain the operations of those corporations commonly are not drawn from one religious community. Indeed, by law, no religion-based criterion can restrict the work force of for-profit corporations The distinction between a community made up of believers in the same religion and one embracing persons of diverse beliefs, clear as it is, constantly escapes the court's attention. One can only wonder why the court shuts this key difference from sight," Ginsburg wrote.
It appears that the court's majority is using blinders constructed of the corporation-as-human variety, relying repeatedly on the argument that, without people, corporations would not exist and therefore any law that protects corporations is really in place to protect its people. That would be defensible, perhaps, if it extended to the workers who rely on the corporation for their livelihood but do not necessarily share its officers' religious values.
Under the Hobby Lobby decision, the rights of the powerful are more equal than others'. That is a misapplication of the Constitution in general and the Bill of Rights in particular.

Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney speaks with the media after a visit to his campaign headquarters on January 31, 2012 in Tampa, Florida. Romney has a double-digit lead going into the Florida primary today.
TAMPA, FL -- Mitt Romney on Tuesday defended the increasingly negative tenor of the GOP primary campaign, telling reporters that he would not "stand back" as other candidates attacked him.
"It would be wonderful if campaigns were all nothing but positive, but that's certainly not the reality," Romney said at a press availability outside his headquarters here. "President Obama will have a billion dollars or so to attack me. He's already begun. The AFL-CIO I understand spent about a million dollars in Florida attacking me. So there are going to be attacks, and the right thing to do will be to respond to them aggressively, clear up those things that have been said that are incorrect, and point out the weaknesses-- the differences between yourself and those that you're running against."
Romney also defended his own negative attack ads and rhetoric targeting former House Speaker Newt Gingrich with the political equivalent of the playground "he started it."
"You know, in South Carolina, we were vastly outspent with negative ads attacking me and we stood back and spoke about President Obama and suffered the consequence of that and also some good debates by speaker Gingrich. We came to Florida and Speaker Gingrich didn't have two good debates. I did. and we responded to the attacks that were coming to us," Romney said.
That would seem to be a bizarre claim at first glance, given the Romney campaign's status as the richest of all the candidates. The campaign has spent millions throughout the campaign, as has Restore OUr Future, a pro-Romney super PAC. NBC News and ad-tracking firm Smart Media Group Delta, which tracks ad spending by political candidates, reported that Romney and Restore our Future outspent Gingrich and his Super PAC by more than $2 million dollars in South Carolina.
The Romney campaign explained the governor meant they were outspent versus all the other candidates' combined spending.
"I'll tell you if you're attacked I'm not going to just sit back I'm going to fight back and fight back hard. I did note that in the Suffolk University poll they asked the people in Florida who has run the most negative campaign in Florida and they said Newt Gingrich," Romney said, referencing a poll which showed 37% of Floridians felt Gingrich ran the most negative campaign, compared to Romney's 31 percent. "He really can't whine about negative campaigning when he launched a very negative campaign in South Carolina and when the people here in Florida looked at the different campaigns and concluded his was the most negative."
Romney certainly has fought back -- over the airwaves, on the stump and with his surrogates.
Romney's campaign and Restore our Future outspent Gingrich and his allied Super PAC Winning our Future on advertising by nearly a 4-1 margin here, with team Romney spending $15.9 million to team Gingrich's $4 million. Romney also spent the better part of the last two days opening every campaign event by attacking Gingrich, and several of his congressional endorsers have shadowed the former speaker's campaign events, where they've occasionally clashed with Gingrich staffers in what Romney advisers refer to as a "truth squad" operation.
With a spate of recent polls showing Romney expected to coast to victory here tonight, he conceded today he will soon need to pivot his focus back to President Obama, but also left no doubt he'd be keeping up the pressure on Gingrich going forward.
"I would like to spend more of our time focusing on President Obama. That's ultimately what's going to be essential to taking back the White House," Romney said. "But I'm not going to stand back and allow another candidate to define me. [Gingrich's] comments most recently attacking me have been really quite sad and I think painfully revealing about the speaker and what he's willing to say and do to try to take the nomination. So I just can't stand back and let him say those things about me without responding."

A question for those who have bought the double-LP edition of "Creation Rebel" from Heartbeat:
What's your opinion on the 2 bonus tracks?:
He Prayed / Joe Frazier (Part 2) - Burning Spear and Dennis Alcapone (Single) 6:12
Rocking Time / Pepper Rock - Burning Spear and Prince Jazzbo (Single) 5:58
I was thinking of getting the CD version (that nowadays I usually prefer over vinyl for its convenience). Would you say that the inclusion of these tracks makes the vinyl edition more worthwhile? They last for about 6 minutes each - does this mean that they repeat the vocal side and add the DJ version in the end?

STOCKTON - Stockton's homeless men, women and children filed in by the dozen into St. Mary's Dining Room for breakfast Friday morning.
STOCKTON - Stockton's homeless men, women and children filed in by the dozen into St. Mary's Dining Room for breakfast Friday morning.
While some had spent the night in shelters, others had slept under bridges around downtown or made camp in a row of crude lean-tos erected along a fence across Sonora Street from the dining room.
Friday was different, though. It was the third day of a three-day census of the homeless population in San Joaquin County.
So there were more groups offering help and services on Friday than on a typical day at St. Mary's to draw as many of the homeless population who are living on the streets or in their cars and are the hardest to reach to count.
It's difficult for some to live under the rules and structure in a shelter, said Michael Donis, 60. But it's worth it for the Stockton native, saying that waiting a few more hours before you're allowed to smoke a cigarette is better than trying to find a safe place to sleep outdoors, where you can be beaten or robbed, he said. "You just never know. You just never know what's going to happen."
Stockton's gathering was the fourth in three days, following similar events in Lodi, Tracy and Manteca. It happens every two years, part of a point-in-time count of the nation's homeless population.
Each local event had volunteers with clipboards filling out a survey that started with the question: "Where did you spend last night?"
It will take awhile to collect the surveys from all the events and put them together with numbers from all the homeless shelters and other groups providing care for the homeless, said Bill Mendelson, director of Central Valley Low Income Housing and one of the organizers. But initial estimates look like the county number will be similar to two years ago, he said.
The counts are important in a number of ways, both large and small, said Chris Becerra, management analyst for the county Community Development Department.
For one, it helps identify the needs of the people who are homeless. But most significant, the counting is necessary to receive the funding that pays for much of what is available to help the population. "It just helps us keep our existing federal funding."
Earlier this month, the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors approved applications for up to about $5.3 million in federal grants for programs at Lutheran Social Services, new Directions and Central Valley Low Income Housing Corporation, which is the requesting about $4.6 million to continue existing services and housing from more than 450 homeless people in the county.
Required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, similar counts are occurring across the country.
San Joaquin County's last count in 2011 measured 2,641 homeless people.
There are more homeless men than homeless women. There were 606 homeless children counted, or about 22 percent of the homeless population.
In 2011, children made up 37 of the 347 "unsheltered" homeless counted. This is the segment of the homeless population living in cars, on the streets or in makeshift campsites. More than half of the county's unsheltered homeless were found in Stockton.
This population is the toughest to count.
Which is why organizers offer a cluster of services and giveaways that will bring the homeless to them, though they admit it won't likely catch everybody.
New this year were workers from the Department of Motor Vehicles to give out identification cards, something that can make life a lot easier for people trying to hook up with services. On Friday alone, the DMV handed out 80 cards, organizers said.
And there was access to health care available at the events through CARE LINK for those who didn't use the Community Medical Centers' homeless program clinic at Gleason House in south Stockton.
Homelessness itself exacerbates medical issues, from having a cold to dealing with infection to suffering chronic illness, said Randy Pinnelli, CARE LINK program coordinator. "The majority of the problems we see are made worse through lack of housing."
While volunteers, government workers and nonprofit staffers bustled inside St. Mary's on Friday morning, Rosalio Puentes cleaned up one of the shelters along the fence across the street. The 72-year-old Puentes had been sleeping in one of the makeshift shelters, and he said he was being paid by a local business to clean up some of the mess left by the people living along the fence.
But those days were about to end.
Police told them they were planning to clear out the encampment this morning. It's a routine occurrence that happens whenever the encampment appears, grows and neighbors start reporting problems.
Puentes said he would move across the street to the Stockton Shelter for the Homeless to sleep tonight.
And then he would start looking for another job.

Hey there!
I have invited a very special artist to share her work with us today! She has been a wonderful inspiration to me since I started blogging and today I'd like to say a BIG thank you to my dear bloggy friend Astrid Maclean for agreeing to being here with us today. A big thank you for bringing joy to others through her gorgeous art and her sweet blog posts.
Astrid shares her work via her lovely blog Astrid's Artistic Efforts. When I visited her blog for the first time it was like discovering a big pot of gold! There is so much creative goodness it will leave you speechless and hungry for more! I would urge you to visit and follow Astrid's blog. You won't regret.
I fell in love with Astrid's style immediately, because she creates the most amazing textures and her colour combinations are out of this world. Have you seen her recent work for the Shimmerz Design team? Oh my, they have made such a good choice when they asked Astrid to design for them. Keep up the good work, Astrid! We love you and your talent! x
We have a lovely interview here for you so enjoy:
What inspires you most to create? / Where does your inspiration come from?
My inspiration comes from many different places, nature, other artists, things I see on Pinterest to name but a few.
Do you pre plan your pieces, or are they often the result of just 'going with the flow'?
I hardly ever pre-plan my pieces, I may have a vague idea in my head, or just stumble upon a substrate I think I would like to use, and then I just explore to see what happens. Usually things turn out totally differently from what I might have had in my head anyway.
What is your favourite medium to work with?
I don't think I have just one favourite medium, but I can pretty much guarantee that Distress products, gesso and textures pastes are always to hand on my craft desk.
Do you have a tool which you couldn't live without?
I could not live without my ink blending tools, I specially love the new small size round ones from Ranger.
What's your craft space like?
My craft space is a corner in a spare room, which we call our study. I share it with my hubby of 42 years, and I have to say, he is pretty tolerant of my mess and ever-expanding drawers full of stash and overflowing piles on the floor. Definitely not a space to show off; I always dream of a dedicated tidy craft room with lots of space….
Do you have a favourite colour combo?
I don't think I have a favourite combo, but most of my creations have brown on them somewhere. Depending on the time of year and/or my mood, it will be combined with blues, greens or warmer tones.
What is your favourite creation to date?
I find this one impossible to answer, I have absolutely no idea, I like some of my creations or parts of them, and others are failures. For me art is all about the creative process, once it's done I usually lose interest…..
Astrid kindly made something special for us...
How amazing is this piece? Fancy finding out a little more on how this was created? Hop over to Astrid's blog HERE and read more about the creative process! We absolutely love it, Astrid! THANK YOU very much for sharing this beauty with us and for all your support. Lots of love! x
Thank you, dear friend, for stopping by today!

OCALA, Fla. - A Marion County School Board member's off-topic comments at the end of Tuesday's meeting left colleagues confused and others raising serious questions.
School Board Vice Chair Angie Boynton spoke directly at the public service camera to an unknown person who she said threatened her, tried to get her to convert to Islam and claimed they held her adult daughter hostage.
"There is someone that is watching this television show tonight that would like for me to respond to some questions for them," said Boynton.
She went on to say various statements without giving much context, such as, "You don't have my daughter hostage," "No, I cannot bow down to Islam," and, "I broke down a code and I sent it to George Bush."
Boynton explained the comments Wednesday night to Local 6 and said the school board meeting was not the right time to make this kind of speech, but said someone threatened her and made her.
After saying she deciphered a code during 9/11, she said the threats started not long after the Marion board discussed how a textbook addressed Islam.
When asked when she got the threat and whether it was written or by telephone, Boynton said, "I can't say all of that. I can't tell you all of that, but there was movement around my house, OK?"
She admits her rambling speech was unprepared and strayed off topic, but now it has raised serious questions. Boynton said when she took the alleged threats to local police, she was asked if she was in therapy.
Boynton told Local 6 she does not have any mental health issues, is not under any medication, and despite the circumstances can still fulfill her duties as an elected official.
"I think there are others that can vouch in spite of any circumstance in my life, I fulfill my job," said Boynton.
Boynton said her life had been threatened at a board meeting before and this time, she wanted to air everything publicly so that any threats could not compromise her position as an elected official.
None of her colleagues on the school board replied to our questions for comment.

History of the VoIP and Hosted PBX Services: A virtual PBX is a private branch exchange (PBX) phone system that is delivered as a hosted service. The concept of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) originated in about 1995, when hobbyists began to recognize the potential of sending voice data packets over the Internet rather than communicating through standard telephone service. This concept allowed computer owners to avoid long distance charges, and it was in 1995 that the first Internet Phone Software appeared. While contemporary VoIP uses a standard telephone hooked up to an Internet connection, early efforts in the history of VoIP required both callers to have a computer equipped with the same software, as well as a sound card and microphone. These early applications of VoIP were marked by poor sound quality and connectivity, but it was a sign that VoIP technology was useful and promising.
VoIP evolved gradually over the next years, gradually reaching the point where some small companies were able to offer PC to phone service in about 1998. Phone to phone service soon followed, although it was often necessary to use a computer to establish the connection. Like most Internet applications in the late 1990's, early VoIP service relied on advertising sponsorship to subsidize costs, rather than by charging customers for calls. The rapid introduction of broadband Ethernet service in the late 1990's allowed for greater call clarity and reduced latency, although calls were still often marred by static or difficulty making connections between the Internet and PSTN (public telephone networks). However, startup VoIP companies were able to offer free calling service to customers from special locations.
In 1999 a young man named Mark Spencer was finishing his Computer Engineering degree at Auburn University when he hit on an interesting business concept. This was the high point in the dot com revolution, and thousands of businesses world-wide were discovering that they could save money by using the open source operating systems like Linux in place of proprietary operating systems. The lure of a free operating system with open access to the source code was too much to pass up. Unfortunately there was little in the way of commercial support available for Linux at that time. Mark decided to fill this gap by creating a company called "Linux Support Services". LSS offered a support hotline that IT professionals could (for a fee) call to get help with Linux.
The idea took off. Within a few months, Mark had a small office staffed with Linux experts. Within a few more months the growth of the business expanded demanded a "real" phone system that could distribute calls evenly across the support team, so Mark called up several local phone system vendors and asked for quotes. Much to his surprise, the responses all came back well above $50,000 -- far more than Mark had budgeted for the project. Far more than his company could afford.
Rather than give in and take out a small business loan, Mark made a fateful decision. He decided to write his own phone system. A phone system is really just a computer running phone software, right? Fortunately for us, Mark had no idea how big a project he had take on. If he had known what a massive undertaking it was to build a phone system from the ground up might have gritted his teeth, borrowed the money and spent the next decade doing Linux support. But he didn't know what he didn't know, and so he started to code. And he coded. And he coded.
Mark had done his engineering co-op at Adtran, a communications and networking device manufacturer in Huntsville, AL. There he had cut his teeth on telecommunications system development, solving difficult problems generating a prodigious amount of complex code in short time. This experience proved invaluable as he began to frame out the system which grew into Asterisk. In only a few months Mark crafted the original Asterisk core code. As soon as he had a working prototype he published the source code on the Internet, making it available under the GPL license (the same license used for Linux).
Within a few months the idea of an "open source PBX" caught on. There had been a few other open source communications projects, but none had captured the imagination of the global population of communications geeks like Asterisk. As Mark labored on the core system, hundreds (now thousands) of developers from all over the world began to submit new features and functions.
People often tend to think of Asterisk as an "open source PBX" because that was the focus of the original development effort. But calling Asterisk a PBX is both selling it short (it is much more) and overstating it (it can be much less). It is true that Asterisk started out as a phone system for a small business but in the decade since it was originally released it has grown into a universal tool for building communications applications. Today Asterisk powers not only IP PBX systems but also VoIP gateways, call center systems, conference bridges, voicemail servers and all kinds of other applications that involve real-time communications.
Asterisk is not a PBX but is the engine that powers PBXs. Asterisk is not an IVR but is the engine that powers IVRs. Asterisk is not a call center ACD but is the engine that powers ACD/queueing systems.
Asterisk is to communications applications what the Apache web server is to web applications. Apache is a web server. Asterisk is a communication server. Apache handles all the low-level details of sending and receiving data using the HTTP protocol. Asterisk handles all the low level details of sending and receiving data using lots of different communication protocols. When you install Apache, you have a web server but its up to you to create the web applications. When you install Asterisk, you have a communications server but its up to you to create the communications applications.
The real breakthrough in VoIP history came when hardware manufacturers such as Cisco Systems and Nortel started producing VoIP equipment that was capable of switching. What that meant was that functions that previously had to be handled by a computer's CPU, such as "switching" a voice data packet into something that could be read by the PSTN (and vice versa) could now be done by another device, thus making VoIP hardware less computer dependent. Once hardware started becoming more affordable, larger companies were able to implement VoIP on their internal IP networks, and long distance providers even began routing some of the calls on their networks over the Internet.
Since 2001, VoIP usage has expanded dramatically. There are several different technical standards for VoIP data packet transfer and switching and each is supported by at least one major manufacturer - no clear "winner" has yet emerged to adopt the role of a universal standard. While companies often switch to VoIP to save on both long distance and infrastructure costs, VoIP service has also been extended to residential users. In just a few short years, VoIP has gone from being a fringe development to a mainstream alternative to standard telephone service.
Carolina Digital Phone offers benefits and deploys Asterisk based servers and within the core network uses Asterisk servers for gateway switches, tenant servers, lowest cost call terminate servers and billing platforms. Our technology can free companies from having to invest in the costly equipment of a complex business phone system. This enables your company to utilize telephony features like voicemail, follow-me, find-me, call routing, call groups, call parking and pickup, three-way calling, call transfer, faxing, automated greetings, touchtone menus, conference calling-on-demand, call auditing, and calling logs. Virtual PBX companies handle call routing, or switching, at their own at a center location and are responsible for managing all of the PBX equipment and software involved in the virtual PBX service. Hosted PBX services can function over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), over the Internet (hosted IP PBX via Internet telephony, or VoIP), or over a combination of the two. Hosted PBX features provide huge savings and increased productivity for businesses.In Greensboro you can get a VoIP based Hosted PBX Internet telephone service that is state-of-the-art technology for your business.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott is traveling to Indonesia on Monday for his first trip abroad since taking office, a two-day visit that will likely be dominated by immigration issues.
Abbott arrives three days after a boat packed with asylum seekers and bound for Australia sunk in Indonesian waters, killing 29 and leaving dozens more missing.
Before leaving Sydney on Monday, Abbott stressed the importance of the relationship between the neighboring countries, which according to his office have two-way trade valued at 14.6 billion Australian dollars ($13.6 billion) a year.
"While Indonesia may not yet be our most important economic or security relationship, it is in many respects our most important relationship," Abbott said. "We will be covering a range of matters because this is an important relationship and it's important to get it right at the start of this new government."
Abbott is expected to meet with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Monday. He will be accompanied by Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, Trade Minister Andrew Robb and 20 senior business people.
Border issues have been a long-time headache shared by the two countries.
Indonesia is often used as a transit point by asylum seekers desperate to reach Australia's Christmas Island in hopes of starting a better life. Thousands board rickety fishing boats every year to make the often deadly journey, which typically crosses about 340 kilometers (210 miles) of open sea.
Abbott took office two weeks ago after winning the Sept. 7 election on the promise that he would stop the asylum seeker boats.
Indonesia has expressed concern over Abbott's "tow-back" plan, which involves the Australian navy intercepting and forcing back Indonesian fishing boats crowded with asylum seekers. Indonesia Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa has warned that the move could breach the country's sovereignty.
On Friday, a boat thought to be carrying more than 100 asylum seekers from the Middle East sunk off West Java's Sukabumi district after being hit by high waves. The search continued Monday for dozens believed missing after 35 survivors were rescued. The exact number of people aboard the boat was unknown due to the lack of a manifest.

Orion/Documentation/Developer Guide/Core client services
Overview of core client services
Orion provides a number of basic infrastructure services that can be used by client scripts for performing various tasks. These services have no user interface component and can be used within any page of a client application. This section of the guide outlines what services are available, along with simple examples of how to use them.
The orion.core.favorite service is used to access and store the user's bookmarks or favorites. While a user may opt to use their own browser's bookmark mechanism instead, there are some specific advantages to using Orion's favorite service instead:
- Favorites are persisted on the server, so the user can switch to another client computer or browser and access their familiar bookmarks
- Favorites are associated with a specific Orion application and user, so favorites from different users or applications are not all mixed into a single place.
Here is an example usage of the favorites service:
serviceRegistry.getService("orion.core.favorite").then(function(service) { service.makeFavorites(item); });
The orion.core.file service is used to contribute some custom content to the Orion Navigator/Explorer. Content could be in the form of files served from some remote system. The Orion navigator already displays any content created by the application user. These include any folder, file or files within a folder.
- A developer who creates an Orion plugin will use this service to contribute some custom content to the Navigator.
The code snippet below demonstrates an use of this service:
provider.registerServiceProvider("orion.core.file", service, {Name: 'Test Project'});
The above code will contribute a top level node to the Navigator named "Test Project". The parameter "service" in the API above must provide the functions specified by the Orion file client API. Refer to [/help/topic/org.eclipse.orion.doc.isv/jsdoc/symbols/orion.fileClient.FileClient.html orion.fileClient.FileClient] for more API details. For more information on client-server interaction, see Orion File Server API
