4	Print View Comics' Slide Continues in June Sales Down Over 6% for Q2 vs. 2010 Published: 07/15/2011, Last Updated: 07/18/2011 02:55am Sales of both periodical comics and graphic novels through Diamond Comic Distributors continued to slide in June when compared with figures from 2010. Despite the “death” of Spider-Man in Ultimate Spider-Man #160 and top three finishes from two “event” books, Marvel’s Fear Itself and DC’s Flashpoint, sales of periodical comics were down 4.62% from June of 2010, which was certainly not a blockbuster frame since it posted a mere 1% uptick over June of 2009. Graphic novel sales in June were down 8.15% from 2010 but that number is a bit more understandable given the fact that June 2010 posted a 21% increase in GN sales over 2009 thanks to a strong lineup led by Batman Arkham Asylum Madness, Chew Vol. 2, Hellboy Vol. 10, Naruto Vol. 48, and boasted no fewer than 40 titles that sold over 2,000 copies through DCD. The graphic novel numbers this June would have looked a lot worse if it hadn’t been for the latest volumes of The Walking Dead from Image and Buffy the Vampire Slayer from Dark Horse. Combined comic and graphic novel sales were down 5.85% for June, which is slightly better than the full second quarter totals, which were down 6.31% versus Q2 of 2010, so there is some evidence that sales are trending in the right direction as the summer comic “events” kick into high gear leading up to this fall’s massive September changes in the DC Comics universe. For Q2 periodical comic sales were down 7.04% vs. 2010, which again demonstrates a slight improvement over the half-year numbers which show a 7.78% decline. Graphic novel sales were off 4.82% in Q2, which again marks an improvement over a year-to-date GN decline of 5.97% vs. 2010. Click For a Better View Marvel Comics lost a few points of dollar marketshare, declining from 42.5% in May to 39.32% in June, while DC improved from 26.68% in May to 28.03% in June. Aided by The Walking Dead, Image was a solid #3 with 5.85%. Dark Horse was next at #4 with a 5.28% dollar share followed by IDW with 3.76% and Dynamite with 3.49, though the positions of that trio would be exactly the reverse if the chart were based on units instead of dollars.

4	[Inpycon] Prizes/mentors for newbie track Noufal Ibrahim noufal at gmail.com Wed Jul 21 07:20:24 CEST 2010 Okay. Let's decide what to do and do it. I propose that we scrap the idea of a "grand prize" but give certificates to all the student (not newbie) speakers. They're the ones we're encouraging. Also, we advertise that we can provide mentors to students. Since the colleges thing will start only by Aug 1 or so, let's try to get some posters and stuff there before that and extend the deadline to Aug 10 or so (for student presenters anyway).

4	Bay Path's new national, online college has expansive view from Springfield Carolyn Robbins \| By Carolyn Robbins \| The Republican Email the author \| Follow on Twitter on May 19, 2014 at 6:06 AM, updated June 03, 2014 at 11:21 AM SPRINGFIELD - Since its inception in 1897, Bay Path College has prided itself in educating women by meeting them where they are and where they want to be. In the late 1800s, at the Bay Path Institute, that meant running a 9 to 5, a five-day-a-week, 11-months-a-year program in downtown Springfield. In the post-war World War II era, it meant establishing a campus in suburban Longmeadow - first offering associate's degrees and later bachelor’s degrees. And in the late '90s and beyond, it has meant designing accelerated campus-based programs for adult women who, for whatever reason, didn’t get around to going to college. Now, it means meeting women students – from Springfield to California - online. Bay Path's latest venture is The American Women’s College, which Bay Path officials say is the first accredited, all-online, 120-credit degree program, exclusively for women. The mission of The American Women’s College is as expansive as the panoramic view from its seventh floor headquarters at One Financial Plaza in downtown Springfield. Starting from zero students a year ago, Bay Path envisions a maximum enrollment between 4,500 and 5,000 four years from now. Bay Path President Carol Leary, who works two days a week at the new downtown office, said the 120-degree program is “not an online course like any other.” Caron Hobin, chief strategy officer for The American Women’s College, said pains were taken to design a student learning experience that would avoid the “isolation of online work.” Bay Path looked to students from its One-Day-A-Week program for inspiration in designing the new online college course. In focus groups with the adult women students - many of whom had never thought they’d graduate from college – said that beyond the academics, what they liked best was the emotionally supportive environment, the sense of teamwork and collaboration and sisterhood. So the aim of The American Women’s College became designing instruction that was collaborative and engaging – a place where women could meet online and share experiences and ideas related to their studies. To achieve that sense of belonging, Bay Path borrowed from the best practices from its own online program and those other colleges were using and then re-invented their own social-media driven model. At last month's Women's Leadership Conference, at the MassMutual Center, Leary invited the 2,000 participants and the community-at-large to sign up for a massive open online course, or MOOC tied to this year's them "Own Your Story." The five-week course was designed to give participants a sampling of what online learning can be. Like The American Women's College courses, the MOOC was designed to be interactive. Leary said she likes to call it a "massive open online conversation." Leary and Hobin credit David Demers, Bay Path’s chief operating officer and IT expert, for helping the new college harness “technology in a way that has never done before.” Demers calls it “big data analytics.” Using technology, the coach/educators teaching the courses at The American Women’s College will be able to individualize the courses to meet the learning styles of the students. If for example, a student is having trouble with text-driven material, she could opt to obtain it another way – through videos or audiotapes. Women seeking degrees is a big market. Leary said that the latest U.S. Census figures show there are 76 million women without a bachelor's degree. Hobin said the new college will offer convenience and flexibility for women who want to obtain a bachelor’s degree, but haven’t had the time. “We’re dedicated to the education and enhancement of women,” Leary said. “That means reaching women who can’t get to a college campus because they’re too busy balancing family, jobs, elder care and other responsibilities,” she said. Two weeks ago, The American Women’s College launched a nationwide television, print and billboard marketing campaign in several smaller American cities including Bakersfield, Calif.; Albany, N.Y.; Scranton, Pa., and Pensacola, Fla. Many of the cities were chosen because of their proximity to military bases where women who have followed spouses to new assignments may have interrupted their college educations. During the academic year, the new online college will offer six, six-week sessions. “Every two months, students will have a chance to enroll,” Hobin said with the goal being to finish in 3.5 years. The average cost is $400 a credit with financial aid and military discounts available, she said. Courses offered at the new online college will be based on issues women care about - family and work, financial security and physical and emotional wellness, among others, Hobin said. The college’s downtown hub is a 10,000-square-foot space overlooking downtown Springfield and the Connecticut River. The open floor plan was designed with women’s needs in mind, Hobin said. It has a full kitchen, cozy seating areas, desks of various heights that take advantage of the view - and even a meditation space. Bay Path leaders don't envision the online college replacing its more traditional campus-based courses. And it doesn't want to see The American Women's College get so big that it would undermine the personalized instruction it aims to offer. Leary and Hobin see Bay Path’s return to downtown as coming full circle. On the wall in the new college headquarters is a photograph of Bay Path leaders standing in Court Square – mimicking an 1887 photograph of officials from its forerunner Bay State Institute.

4	Oct 22, 2012; San Francisco, CA, USA; San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Javier Lopez (49) stands on the mound in the ninth inning in game seven of the 2012 NLCS against the St. Louis Cardinals at AT MLB trade rumors 2013: San Francisco Giants will ‘definitely’ trade Javier Lopez? The reigning World Series champion San Francisco Giants could just be hours away from blowing up their team as they sit in last place of the National League West. While many players have received inquiries, the most likely to be traded is reliever Javier Lopez, at least according to the New York Post’s Joel Sherman: The Giants will definitely move lefty reliever Javier Lopez, and the Indians have shown interest. And they are at least listening on righty Tim Lincecum and, particularly, right fielder Hunter Pence. “We are not in ‘let’s make a deal’ mode just to make deals,” Giants assistant GM Bobby Evans said. “That is not who we are and how we are constructed.” Lincecum and Pence are in their walk years. But the Giants are interested in retaining both, and their current intention is to offer them the roughly $13.8 million tender, which at worst would assure a draft pick between the first and second rounds if either signed elsewhere. And as Evans said, “You have to be realistic that if you trade a guy, you are not going to be able to re-sign him. That is what history shows.” As assistant general manager Bobby Evans hints, the Giants aren’t in a fire sale mode as they have every intention of trying to win next season so letting go of players like Pence or Lincecum is unlikely. However, trading Lopez, who is a free agent at season end and 36-years-old seems like a smart baseball decision despite his close ties to the fan base. Both the Cleveland Indians, as mentioned above, as well as the Detroit Tigers have shown interest in Lopez. Tags: Javier Lopez MLB Trade Deadline MLB Trade Rumors San Francisco Giants

3	Amitabh Bachchan scheduled to leave for LA for treatment Mumbai: Amitabh Bachchan’s stomach problem does not want to leave the mega star. The actor even went for two surgeries few months back and then he again had the CT scan recently after he received bad pains in stomach. The abdominal pains have not been leaving Bachchan and making thweir stay with the actor. He has many film assignments in hands and wants to doll them up but due to these pains, he is unable to do that. Now it has been learnt that Amitabh Bachchan has decided to be treated in foreign land instead of India which is why he is going to Los Angeles for the treatment. The sources close to the stars reveal that Bachchan will not be able to do any acting work till September as per the advices by the doctors. The new assignments too will be taken up post September 2012. Post the operation in February this year, Amitabh felt a bad pain which is why he went for having the CT scan. The source adds that he is not doing any shooting presently and is scheduled to leave for the US in May or June. Over there he will undergo few tests and if required, he will be operated. But before leaving for the US, Amitabh will fulfill his commitment to Rohit Shetty’s film Bol Bachchan which stars his son Abhishek Bachchan and Ajay Devgan in the leads. The movie is being produced by Ajay Devgan who is a family and also Bachchan’s son Abhishek is there in the cast, Amitabh cannot leave the project. His role in the movie is worthwhile and for the shooting, it will take only couple of days. Amitabh has many projects lined up like Ram Gopal Verma’s Sarkar 3 and Shoojit Sircar’s Johnny Mastana. We wish Mr. Bachchan speedy recovery.

4	Bronx faced with another treacherous travel day after more snow Drivers and pedestrians should allow plenty of extra travel time. (2/14/14) THE BRONX - It's another messy travel day for Bronx residents after the borough was coated in a fresh layer of snow. Most roadways are covered in slush and ice, with the blacktop completely invisible on many secondary roads. Piles of snow are also making streets very narrow. Drivers are encouraged to use mass transit if possible and leave their vehicles where they are. Alternate side of the street parking rules are suspended through Monday. Weather Center \| Live Radar \| Submit Photos Traffic/Transit Information \| Traffic Cameras Pedestrians should be extra careful where they step.

Earnings way off. What does tomorrow bring? Sentiment: Hold SortNewest \| Oldest \| Most Replied Expand all replies • your assessment might be wrong as revenues benefitted from an additional week which lasted two days into February - obviously some analysts estimated revenues without taking into account this benefit so the adjusted revenue looks more or less in line with estimates or just slightly higher. GAAP earnings were overshadowed by $18 mln in charges so the real earnings number would have been $3.5 mln or $0.066 per share which is in fact better than the analyst consensus of $0.05. there's also some positive commentary regarding recent sales trends in the release. Overall the quarter obviously went slightly better than expected with management expressing cautious optimism going forward. Would expect some positive analyst commentary tomorrow but given the recent outperformance of the stock and the sad events in Boston and its influence on stock market sentiment I would expect the stock to tread water tomorrow at the very best. 12.69+0.1600(+1.28%)Dec 12 4:03 PMEST

Basically, poverty is measured using the poverty line which is determined by income and material possessions such as food, clothing, heating etc. If a household earns less than the average income for their social group then they are indirectly defined as being poor as they are lacking in income to maintain the basic resources to live within the society to which they belong. They are then eligible for support financially and socially from the government. This is an example of relative poverty. Absolute poverty is the minimum resources essential to maintain living. On the other hand, the type of poverty experienced in Britain is relative poverty. Basically, absolute poverty is very rare in Britain. In Britain, the “poor” are mainly children, single parents, unemployed and people from certain ethnic backgrounds particularly Pakistani/Bangladeshi people. These social groups according to Joseph Rowntree Foundation (2000) are more likely to suffer from low income poverty, which is living in a house which is below 60 per cent of the median income after housing costs. There has been a steady widening of the health gap between rich and poor from the 1980’s to 1990’s. This has been reduced by more people achieving full employment, 2,500 deaths per year amongst those aged less than 65 would be prevented if full employment was to be achieved, also the government trying to eradicate child poverty could decrease the gap. However, after a white report on inequality in 2005 stating that people now live about eight years longer than their poorer contemporaries (Guardian 2005). It was shown that the health of all social groups was continuing to improve but there was seen to be a widening in health inequalities using infant mortality and life expectancy as a measure with the gap between better off and poor. The government need to make more improvements in public health in order to close the gap, they could do this by helping to increase awareness of healthy eating and also encourage or offer more employment opportunities for less skilled workers. Inadequate income or lack of an income is the most common cause of poverty in Britain. The unemployed may be unemployed because they do not have the skills for jobs or the education and qualifications needed. This suggests that children from a higher social class or with parents from professional backgrounds will be expected to go onto further education compared with those of a lower class. In addition, issues concerning on how a person has been educated on financial issues and values from parents being passed onto their children is also another cause of poverty. Aside from this, health conditions are also a factor of poverty.

4	Mandy Moore & Rodrigo Santoro To Star In 'Falling Slowly' From 'Buried' Writer Chris Sparling by Kevin Jagernauth March 1, 2011 1:50 AM • \| "What I really want to do is direct," might as well be the adage that every screenwriter in Hollywood not so secretly clings to at night when they brush their teeth before bed and daydream of their Academy acceptance speech. And yet the number of writers who have successfully made that leap is arguably few -- emphasis on successfully. Christopher McQuarrie might be one of the most sought after screenwriters in the world today, but no one really mentions his directorial effort, "The Way Of The Gun." Likewise, David Fincher and Steven Soderbergh have Scott Z. Burns on speed dial, but no one really recalls "Pu-239." Recent evidence suggests it's really not as easy as it seems. Academy Award winner Dustin Lance Black ("Milk") stumbled hard at TIFF last year with his tonally odd debut, "What's Wrong With Virginia," (there's still no U.S. distribution for it even with stars like Jennifer Connelly and Ed Harris in the leads) and Bill Murray bud Mitch Glazer seemingly torpedoed his further directorial chances with the disastrous "Passion Play" at the same festival. Meanwhile, Oscar-winning "The Departed" writer William Monaghan's debut "London Boulevard" was recently met with complete derision during its U.K. premiere last fall. Others like Stephan Gaghan and Charlie Kaufman have fared better, but there's a graveyard of screenwriter-turned debuts out there which leads us to (no pressure, dude) Chris Sparling. You could say that was quick. Last year, his Black List approved "Buried" became a small, but noisy critical hit (though not much of a commercial one) and now the scribe is making the leap to director. Variety reports that Sparling will direct "Falling Slowly," which will star Mandy Moore and Rodrigo Santoro ("300," "Che"), a supernatural thriller about a couple whose apartment is haunted by a dark presence. Wait, didn't Tobe Hooper just announce the same movie? That's about all the details right now -- no word yet on when this will go in front of cameras, but we'd guess it'll come together shortly. Given the lower wattage star power, we'd wager the budget on this one will be on the lower end of the scale but if Sparling manages to um, write his way out of the box with this film, we'll tune in to see if he can make the leap.

4	Darby L 1917 - City of Birth: Darby's Story Featured Story It Has Been A Rough Year The Birth of Charles Leonard Wiggins Browse for more stories Darby's Story > Chapters > The Relieving Years of Adolescence "Kenilworth House and the Mauretania up close" Date Range: 01/02/1933 To 03/22/1933 Comments: 0 Views: 3,403 Attachments: No The end of my dream world and easy living had come. As had my shopkeeping and useful work. Fred decided to return to town. He sold the country hotel and bought another in town near Kenilworth House. It was a beautiful place and I often wandered in the grounds. A little later Fred also bought a block of two flats. The upstairs flat was taken by an elderly couple and the downstairs was for my mother, sister and myself. I had been away from my mother for so long she didn’t have any idea of controlling me. I came and went as I pleased and settled in to being my own master. My guardian angel must have been watching over me and kept me out of trouble. My education on herbs and plants started when I was in Devon. A cousin or something was a witch and we used to collect the herbs for her. She seemed to cure animals as well as humans. The nearest doctor in those days was a long horse ride away and he only came once a week to a makeshift surgery in the local bar. This meant the witch was in great demand. These days she would be called a herbalist but then it looked like magic. People were afraid of her and I can remember having to pass her house on the opposite side of the road in case she was offended by me. Such a lot of nonsense really but the gift of “Seeing” was handed down. After an aunt, I should know. I was next. An aunt had the seeing eye and told so many things, even how many children I would have and it came true for me later on. That was what I was doing on the day of the common fire. Looking for herbs growing in the area. This aunt told me I would marry under odd circumstances and would have four children. As I didn’t care much for small children I only laughed. She was right. Not only that but on a certain weekend she begged me not to go away. I thought she was being old-fashioned and ignored her. So much for being a knowall later proved me wrong. About this time my mother decided we needed a holiday so she booked us into lodgings on the Isle of Wight. I don’t know why it was only my mother and me. My sister must have been somewhere else. On our second day Mother booked a trip to the mainland to see the Naval Tattoo. We went over in a small boat, a little bumpy but okay. We enjoyed the show until the end when the wind started blowing. Oh well the other people in the boat were quite happy, there were three other couples, which made eight of us beside the crew, so aboard we went. As we made way out from land the weather became very bad. Waves were huge. One man there was an ex-sailor and said the waves were twenty feet high. I only knew they came crashing down and we had to start bailing. I was so scared. Suddenly this great big grey wall loomed up. I remember the ex-sailor swearing and grabbing the wheel. The boat turned so that water slopped over the side and I really thought we were going under. There were lights and a man with a megaphone was shouting. The grey wall looked like a house. It was a liner.” The Mauretania”. The man in charge of our boat had not put up riding lights and the liner nearly ran us down. It turned back to rescue us but we were still afloat and our skipper said we didn’t need help. The storm got worse but by bailing we kept afloat. Ryde pier hove out of the storm and we thought the Lord be praised, but a man came out of a door and refused to let us land. He insisted we would be smashed against the heavy timbers. I was so scared by then I only knew I was cold wet and near death. The morning came and wind and waves died down. As we tied up to the pier steps a man came and asked for pay for being on the pier. I had never heard some of the words used by the ex-sailor and we didn’t pay, but another surprise awaited us. The police gathered us all up and after arresting the boat owner we all had to make a statement. Apparently he had already been fined twice for overloading the vessel and dangerous sailing. I heard he went to prison but he deserved it. I shudder when I think how near we came to death. Another incident on the same holiday came when we were walking at Ventnor. Going past some tall iron gates my mother cried “Look at that”. It was a Fuchsia but as a tree. We only knew them as bushes but this was about nine feet tall. Intrigued we both stepped inside the gates to have a closer look. Suddenly a figure in a gown with a hood over his face stepped out. My mother screamed and ran. The figure caught my arm and with his finger to his lips picked a piece of the fuchsia and handed it to me. I was shaking but he patted my arm and bowed me out of the gates which he shut behind me. We asked about them at the local shop and learnt it was a sect of silent monks. They had taken a vow of silence and were seldom seen. The one I saw was nice. The tide at Ryde is a circular tide and one morning I walked out to the edge of the water. It was a long walk but all the different puddles had such interesting things to see. When a boat came close to the sea edge and a man called me to hurry out to them I thought they were mad until I looked behind me and saw a sea of water between me and the shore. That was when I learnt about the tide. I haven’t been back. I thought I would never be happy or settled or even get used to daily school, travelling to school on a bus and having evening homework. As a boarder the homework fitted in with free afternoons. No longer. Get on with it on your own. Nevertheless I still enjoyed school and had good relations with the teachers. I made the change from boarder to daily quite easily. Rules were still strict. One had to be polite at all times. One had to sit up straight with shoulders back or get a crack across the back with a ruler. I was used to this from boarding school and in later years I was so thankful for that training. Despite this, I was still about to lose my stuffing.... Email this Story Read more of Darby's Stories \| Read other great Stories Related Files No files attached to this story. Already a member?

2	Broke poet Tao Lin hits rock bottom, forced to sell personal belonging on eBay \| Hipster Runoff Tao Lin is a Brooklyn author and poet, but I think his 'financial situaish' is in the shitter because he has resorted to 'selling crap on ebay.' He vlogged and showed off everything that he owns, which is basically just a bunch of random crap. Magazines. VIP badges. Notebooks. Random pieces of paper. I'm sure he has a stalker out there who will use all of this stuff as their cum rag, or something dark like that. Have u read any of his books? Does he 'deserve money' 4 being an author? According to his ebay account, he has had 72 sales, so we can assume that he has 'ran out of money and sold random shit' 72 times. This auction is for items (see video) from Tao Lin's room. Sotheby's estimated these items to currently be worth ~$300 to ~$800, with a 65% chance that these numbers will rise to ~$2500 to $6000 within 10 years, as NYU recognizes Tao Lin as an alumni and enters a bidding war with New School, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and others to acquire my papers and "effects." Tao Lin: Video of the things you will get: Every item will be personalized by a signature, a drawing, a date, or something else. Highlights include: 2 issues of Optic Nerve in pristine condition 2 issue of Eightball in pristine condition ~4 governmental forms regarding my 2 to 4 incarcerations the past ~3 years 1 outline of my book tour for RICHARD YATES including a key conveying exactly what drugs were ingested at what dates A chart of literary connections, who has had sex with whom, and other information (as seen in BEBE ZEVA) ~100 pages of early-to-mid drafts of RICHARD YATES in size 8 font or smaller with many handwritten edits An unreleased poem handwritten on a square piece of paper Funny Ha-Ha by Andrew Bujalski, one of my favorite movies The issue of The Strange I'm on the cover of Serbian edition of EEEEE EEE EEEE Unreleased MDMAfilms feature film titled MUSHROOMS Rare anthology of fiction/poetry I edited featuring Tara Wray, Tony O'Neill, Matthew Rohrer, Ofelia Hunt, Ben Lerner, others "Marble Memo" notebook from something like 2000 or 2001 or 2002 that's ~55% filled with notes about my "lost" first novel and other notes The last known remaining fuck america" sticker How much is this stuff worth? Should he list a 'buy it now' price? Has Tao Lin 'hit rock bottom'? Do authors 'make money'? Is Tao Lin a 'genius' or does he just pull internet gimmicks and write dumb books? Will he starve 2 death?
4	and congrats to CDN ISV 90 degree software for being highlighted on the site! Man I’m stoked about this – this is so cool… Check out (very innovative look and feel to this site and features a walking talking Tom Skerrit highlighting various solutions on Vista/WinFX). So yes, the site is cool. However, the reason I’m so excited is the fact that one of the Canadian ISV’s I’ve been working with this year, 90 degree software, is featured on the site! What a huge opportunity to get some exposure, and very well deserved I might add as these guys have been heads down, and very deep into WinFX since last fall and it’s starting to pay off now. The 90degree guys are going to absolutely change the world of reporting and I’m proud to say that their entire solution is built on WinFX! In particular, they’ve dug really deep into WPF and WCF in order to build out their product that leverages SQL 2005 Reporting Services (and our Report Definition Language). I’ll leave the description at that for now as I’ll get into more details in a future post as I’m meeting with them in a few weeks to do a channel9 style interview with them on various pieces of their product (ie. I think it would be interesting to get them, and some other ISV’s I’ve been working with, to share what WinFX/WPF/WCF/WF etc. mean from an ISV perspective).In the meantime, check them out on (click on “turning information into action”). Congrats to everyone at 90 degree software! Well done (and thanks for the invite to your Beta 1 release party. Had a great time there…) Comments (0)
4	Tottenham Hotspur 4 Anzhi Makhachkala 1 match report: Roberto Soldado hat-trick is icing on cake for sublime Spurs Spaniard leads the way as Premier League side produce one of their best attacking displays of the season white hart lane Andre Villas-Boas needed a performance more than a result, but he got both, as Tottenham Hotspur finished their Europa League group stage campaign with a rousing 4-1 win over Anzhi Makhachkala, built around Roberto Soldado's first Spurs hat-trick. Tottenham had already won Group K but this match was never going to be meaningless. There are still - four months into the season - too many questions about Spurs' best system and personnel, and every competitive match can provide crucial clues. So while Villas-Boas made seven changes to his team, it was no second string. He brought in players who should, in time, be regulars, in Soldado and Erik Lamela, as well as returning left-back Danny Rose, and was exceptionally well rewarded. Soldado was excellent throughout, scoring twice early in the first half before completing his hat-trick with a penalty, his fourth for the club. When he went off for Shaquile Coulthirst he received a standing ovation and Villas-Boas was delighted for his Spanish striker. “I'm extremely happy for him,” Villas-Boas said. “He's been waiting for a moment like this and it finally happened tonight with a hat-trick. It will be a major boost for a player who has been very professional and deserves respect.” “As a striker, you have to persist and persist; finishing off the situations you are given and that final touch hasn't been there for him recently. It will be a great boost of confidence for him.” Both of Soldado's first two goals, in a first-half in which Spurs tore into Anzhi, owed to sharp instinctive moment and swift reactions. The first came after just five minutes. To accommodate Lamela, Andros Townsend moved onto the left, and he won a free-kick there from Abdul Razak. Sigurdsson whipped it in, and even with the pace on the ball, Soldado flicked it with the top of his head off the inside of the far post and in. The next goal - which will have pleased Villas-Boas even more - soon followed. Lamela drifted in from the right and played a delightful reverse pass to Soldado, who smacked it into the far bottom corner. Townsend almost added a third, his chip drifting just wide of the goal, although it was Anzhi who scored before the break, as Ewerthon bundled in a corner at the far post. Spurs, though, began the second-half in precisely the right way and were soon 3-1 up after some individual genius. Townsend chipped through to Holtby, running into the box. With the first touch of his left boot he cushioned the ball into the air, before turning his body and - with the ball still in the air - lifting it with the outside of that foot over the goalkeeper. Ryan Fredericks replaced the returning Danny Rose, and Christian Eriksen came on - Spurs had five attacking midfielders for the last half hour - and they continued to push for goals. Soldado nearly headed in a Fredericks cross, before the pair combined even more successfully; the young right-back bursting forward and winning the penalty which Soldado converted, his fourth Spurs spot-kick. Lamela nearly scored twice, first with a header, then a low shot, Holtby had a 30-yard shot palmed wide as Spurs finished the game with the same intensity with which they began it. “What pleased me most,” said Villas-Boas, “was the professionalism and dedication of the players; to give something back to a good house and the fans we had tonight.” Tottenham Hotspur (4-2-3-1): Friedel; Naughton, Capoue, Fryers, Rose (Fredericks, 45); Dembele (Eriksen, 64), Holtby; Lamela, Sigurdsson, Townsend; Soldado (Coulthirst, 78). Anzhi Makhachkala (4-2-3-1): Pomazan; Agalarov (Angbwa, 80), Ewerton, Epureanu, Grigalava; Jucieli, Razak (Gatagov, 85; Sobolev, Maksimov, Burmistrov; Serderov. Referee S Johannesson (Swe).

We are a group of bloggers who share once a week about our best posts and/or catholic things but all are welcome. November 25, 2009 I like bein' a Catholic what about you!! Thanks Justin! Justin Stroh is a lay Catholic with 20 years of service in the Church. Oh Hey! I found my calling lol I stumbled upon yesterday and my boyfriend brought home a new pen for me last night lol. Is that a sign or something? check it out . I really really like the idea. When I was homeless (yes for about 10 minutes) I thought very quickly, as I was walking along , where could I go because the shelter for women here in Calgary wouldn't let me back in , after I had gone to see my abusive husband again . I thought maybe my brother could let me stay with him for awhile. It's a good thing I did , I was pregnant too , and I had a kidney stone attack . If anyone has had kidney stones , you know how painful they are. I was worried I was going to lose the baby , but I didn't . Everything was fine after 3 or 4 days . I have since then got them lazered and never had a recurring attack of kidney stones. It seems like milk makes it worse though. Anyhow, I didn't want to impose on my brother, even though he was more than willing to accomodate me, I just didn't feel comfortable being there . My brothers wife is a really nice lady but I, for some reason feel really uncomfortable and inferior to her , so I looked for another place to live. The place I found was Youville. I really wanted to go there and they let me in , even though they knew I was pregnant , I guess they wanted to help . On with the point of the story. When I was at Youville , a 3rd stage shelter for women, we were supposed to keep a Journal . Youville was run by the sisters of Charity . There motto is : "Welcoming women who are in need of our services regardless of race, colour or creed, St. Marguerite d'Youville was known as the mother of universal charity"Sisters of Charity(Grey Nuns) of Alberta We were told to submit our journals in every morning to our personal (nun, we each had one) , and she would read it and write some things back . Sorta like spiritual guidance . I guess they are trained for that sort of thing. I was pregnant so I knew my stay was going to be shortened but I had the most terrible time of my life ! It was a very stressful time for me . I practically got into a physical fight with this one lady oy vey! I did come away with some tools for life and that is keeping up with Journal writing . It is a very affective tool for recovery . However, I think if it used for therapy , it's best to have the spiritual guidance . Jesus is our Spiritual Director isn't He? Yes! I really like the idea of praying back the scriptures and to write about what Jesus is speaking to you through His Word , it's a wonderful thing to do I'd say. A series of Unfortunate Events I was born on October 4th 1964 in Sfax, Tunisia. I live in Calgary and am the youngest of 6. My parents got divorced when I was 14 still easily influenced. I hung out with the wrong crowd and started smoking, and doing drugs. Soon after my life shattered in a series of unfortunate events About Drugs: "Satan wants you to forget who you are, many fall into this trap, leading them to neglect their soul; and they become easy prey for Satan who wants your soul." Hell Exists I took the opportunity to go away to boarding school in 1979, and had a bad experience with drugs. It is there I lost my identity. I was in a stinky smelly bar and cried all night. I couldn't sleep and I began hearing voices. With both the influence of drugs and prescription medication , I soon fell exhausted and unconscious. I ended up in a coma for a week. Only after I returned to Canada under psychiatric care they determined what I was suffering from . Drug Induced Psychosis When I was in Mallorca Spain, my brother was travelling Europe. If it weren't for him taking care of me I don't know what would have happened. I remember subconsciously dreaming and my mind played havoc sometimes, and I almost burnt our apartment down with a lighter! To keep me from burning the house down, my brother shoved his bed in front of the bedroom door at night, so I wouldn't get out . He said I took a shower once with my clothes on. It was obvious I needed zombie masters strict supervision . Once I had subconsciously tried desperately to pull myself away from, who I thought was my sister, but I was playing tug-o-war with an arm and it hurt, so finally I gave up resisting lest they rip my arm off. She was an evil zombie master nurse, probably the one who stole all my things, and for that reason my brother took me out of there. I am proud of my brother. My sister had come to visit me also and fed me some brains yogurt, she said my tongue was swollen and hanging out of my mouth. I wasn't eating anything else. I also remember putting vaseline all over my face. That was wierd. Anyway, when my dad came back from working on the rigs we came back to Canada and got proper medical care. My parents were in the midst of a divorce but the night before I was to board the plane I woke up. I felt like a little kid but at least I was aware of my surroundings , because you can't board a plane if you aren't mentally able. I know my dad was praying for me hard . I'm not the same person I used to be. I could have lost much more than my identity .....but I lived with the consequences. I'd never foreseen being admitted to the psychiatric hospital in the long term but I was. If my parents would've stayed together maybe things would've been different. The way I see it, I was institutionalized or sentenced to life in prison with 50% chance of making it on my own..I was a ward of the courts and placed in a home for juvenile misfits. William Roper Hull Home. Alone and dangerous. My faith in God dwindled from the Catholic Church and I married a sexual deviant . I had 7 children whom Child Services apprehended from a terrible ordeal. In my sorrow over such great loss I found my comfort in this Scripture verse: Jeremiah 49:11"Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive. Let your widows trust in Me" So I did. I pray for them everyday . From what I know they are growing up to be fine children and I guess I have certain someone's of which I won't mention names, to thank for. Although I still like to think I had something to do with it. That their good kids, that is, I hope. from left to right : Curtis, Alex, Joshua. ....hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil Anyhow, I lost my family, my identity and my children. Yes I am broken. I don't see much of anyone anymore. November 23, 2009 Switchfoot- We were meant to live I like their music. The solemnity of Christ the King Mass Readings My Reflection I think most of us have forgotten where we come from. I naturally am not born into royalty , but that is what we are, spiritually . We belong to the Most High and therefore we descend from sovereignty and splendour as Vassula so aptly put it . (<--this is a windows media audio play. ) "...I, your God tell you: sons! and daughters! you are the offspring of the Most High! you descend from the Sovereignty and Splendour, oh come! you belong to Us! you belong to are of Royal Descent..." We all have wandered so far away from God , that we have forgotten who we are and to whom we belong. Jesus didn't say he wasn't a king when pilate confronted him. In fact, He says " For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice." For Isaiah 9:5 says that we will call him that ... Ok , it doesn't say He is King necessarily but that His Throne will have dominion forever . We are descendents of the Most High. Praised Be The LORD. November 22, 2009 So I got my new computer I now have Windows Vista. I love it. I installed all the updates today , uploaded all my pictures and documents from the old computer, and stuck some pics into shabbyblog frames . I wish I knew how to separate them . I like Live Writer , it's so cool, except it wouldn't let me publish this post with this picture . With Windows Live Writer you can insert a watermark on them , I thought that was pretty neat.

November 12, 2009 Flu vaccinations - This is Fascinating That was said with regard to the following messages . I am just relaying and passing them on , that's all, as I happen to believe they are authentic until proven otherwise. Our LORD warned us not to accept these flu "vaccinations" at all costs. He told us to pray to Him in advance of accepting any kind of medication for any reason. That includes over-the-counter medication. Refer to the following links: Beware of Medication and Evil Men Drug Co. Caught Injecting Live Bird Flu Virus Into Flu Vaccines Further, He told us to stay out of crowds, and to wash our hands often. The Plagues Will Now Begin Once again, we hasten to emphasize that we have nothing to worry about, provided that we obey Our Lord's directives in the writings above, and those which follow. What follows are:- certain relevant messages from Our Lord via John Leary (3) April 27, 2009: Jesus said: "My people, I have been preparing you for a coming pandemic virus that will kill many people. I have encouraged you to buy some masks and to take Hawthorn herbs by pill or tea to build up your immune system. Some times you have seen various scare hypes with SARS, West Nile, and Bird Flu, but there were never large numbers killed. Influenza does kill many people each year, but you have not seen a very virulent flu up to now in recent years. The latest attention is being drawn to the Swine Flu which is still being investigated in Mexico and the U.S. Some scare tactics have been used in the past, but beware of a coming disease that will have a high mortality rate. The one world people use such diseases to lower the population as part of their death culture plan. Many of these viruses are man-made for this purpose of reducing the population, and scaring the people with such threats. Many upper respiratory symptoms are a result of the viruses placed in the chemtrails that you see in the skies. Be watchful when a deadly disease starts killing off the people because this will be one of your signs to call on Me to have your guardian angels lead you to the nearest refuge. Looking on the luminous crosses and drinking from the miraculous spring water will heal you of this disease, much like Moses held up the bronze serpent to heal the Israelites' snake bites." Jesus said: "My people, this latest scare of swine flu spreading to five countries and various states has shown human to human contact and it is very communicable as the regular flu bugs are. An unusual aspect of this outbreak is that it is occurring at the end of the flu season in a warm country. It has been deadly in killing people in Mexico, but it has not been seen to cause any deaths in the U.S. Such an outbreak has already closed schools to stop it from spreading, and people are wearing masks to try and prevent it also. This incident could be exploited by the one world people to control the people through quarantines, even without deaths from this disease. A more virulent form could mutate and cause more deaths, especially if it were a man-made virus spread to reduce the population on purpose. I will warn My faithful when a deadly strain will be used against you. At My refuges you will be healed of these pandemic diseases. So have no fear when I am at your side. " May 1, 2009: Jesus said: "My people, I have given you many messages concerning chemtrails where your government is purposely putting viruses in them to lower your people's immune systems and cause upper respiratory infections. This is all part of the death culture people who are trying to reduce the population so the one world people have less people to control. Many of these scare diseases are man-made and this latest swine flu is another excuse for involuntary quarantines for wherever the one world people want to control. This name of swine flu has even confused people that they did not want to eat pork, so now the media is using H1N1 as a new name. I have told you in the past (2-8-08, 2-18-08, 4-25-08) to avoid taking flu shots because they will be giving you live viruses that could spread disease instead of preventing it. There have been reports in your literature that one drug company has in fact put live Avian flu virus in a bird flu vaccine (4). I am warning you again that this new vaccine for swine flu will be made by similar companies which could spread the disease more than prevent it. The death culture people are more intent on reducing the population than preventing any epidemic. I know these are difficult warnings, but there are evidences to defy nature and cause more deaths in the population. AIDS and ebola are other examples of this same man-made manipulation by the one world people. As these diseases mutate, it will become necessary for My faithful to go to My refuges where you will be healed of these diseases by looking on My luminous cross and drinking the healing spring water. Having masks, taking Hawthorn herbs, and vitamins will also build up your immune system to fight these viruses." Jesus said: "My people, as more facts about swine flu come out in your news, you are seeing that this strain is not as deadly as your media was describing. It appears swine flu is more communicable, but less deadly because humans can develop antibodies to fight it off. Bird flu is more deadly, but it is less communicable. Only a small number of deaths have actually been confirmed from swine flu by your scientists. There could be a lot of swine flu passed in the population, but it would take some major mutations to become very deadly. Be prepared for this possibility with masks and building up your immune system with Hawthorn, herbs, and vitamins." May 14, 2009: Jesus said: "My people, your scientists are concerned that this current Swine Flu is spreading freely all across the world. This is an H1N1 flu which has a similar structure to the H1N1 Spanish Flu that was very deadly in its mortality rate in 1918. Even if this pandemic has not killed many people, there is a fear that it could mutate to a more deadly flu in the next flu season. This is another example of why it is hard to anticipate which flu that will be prevalent in the next season. Pray that people will have enough antibodies to fight off whatever flu emerges next fall." May 22, 2009: Jesus said: "My people, you are currently seeing the Swine Flu spread over many countries, and some people are dying from this first wave of this flu germ. There are plans to spread a second and third wave of a more virulent Swine Flu virus by the use of chemtrails. The evil ones will protect themselves with an antidote vaccine. As more people start dying from this flu, you will see that it has a man-made origin by looking at the DNA markers of the segments in each wave. Already the current Swine Flu has pig flu segments, bird flu segments, human flu segments and flu from various countries all over the world. The fact, that it is still killing people and not dying out, is another sign that it is a manufactured virus and not a natural one. The one world people will use this so-called pandemic virus to make it mandatory to take their vaccine which will actually spread the disease. My people should refuse this vaccine at all costs. Those, who refuse to take the vaccine shots will be taken to the death camps for elimination by gas and cremation. Once this mandatory vaccine for Swine Flu is initiated, this will be another sign to call on Me and I will have your guardian angels lead you to a refuge where you will look upon My luminous cross and drink the spring water to protect you from any pandemic virus. This created crisis of a pandemic virus will be another opportunity for the one world people to declare martial law and take over America. Follow My instructions and you will be protected from this virus and from those trying to kill you." June 18, 2009: I could see some men digging a hole and this was to indicate that the recent Swine flu was man-made. Jesus said: “My people, you know that the flu season starts in October and is usually over in February. This latest outbreak of Swine flu has been designated a pandemic, but it is completely out of season. This flu is not just a mutation, but it has all the signs of a laboratory man-made disease. This first wave has been spread very easily, but it has thus far not killed very many people. This H1N1 virus has similarities to the Spanish flu that killed millions of people. The same evil ones, who developed this disease, could just as easily generate a more virulent form that could attack your population in October with more deaths occurring. This is why you need masks and food storage to weather this coming outbreak. Build up your immune system with Hawthorn, herbs, and vitamins. As you see larger numbers dying from this new virus, then you are to call on Me to lead you to My refuges. There you will look upon My luminous cross and drink the healing spring waters which will protect you from all diseases and deadly viruses, or bacteria.” July 20, 2009: I could see a young child playing and I realized that these little ones will be vulnerable to the latest flu bugs. Jesus said: "My people, I have warned you before not to take any flu shots because they are putting viruses in these shots that could make you more vulnerable to the latest swine flu. This latest epidemic will be man-made and they will propose a vaccine that is supposed to protect you from this flu strain. Unfortunately, this will be a cruel hoax that will actually make you more vulnerable to the current swine flu. Continue to avoid these flu shots, even if they try to force them on the population. There will be various quarantines that could be used by the one world people to try and gain control for their North American Union. Pray for My protection and any needed healing from these man-made diseases." • (3)- The mystical occurrences of John Leary have yet-to-be-approved by the Church.

Learn To Pray The Rosary "The word 'Rosary' means 'Crown of Roses,' that is to say that every time someone says the Rosary devoutly, they place a crown of one hundred fifty-three red roses and sixteen white roses upon the heads of Jesus and Mary. Being heavenly roses they will never fade or lose their exquisite beauty." ~Saint Louis Marie de Montfort New video encouraging the recitation of the rosary Quick Video Guide of the Rosary "Blessed Mother , Come stay with us, Holy Heavenly Family, come pray with us, and offer all the rosaries that ever were and ever will be to Our Heavenly Father for all humanity. Let its power conquer hate and iniquity, fill the world with peace and harmony, crush the head of Satan, who lies in wait so stealthily. The Almighty Majesty promised this would come to be. Lord, Let our lowly rosaries, add strength in Unity, so that the power of the devotion to Our Lady's Rosary may be spread universally, and Your Will, will be done , as it is in Eternity, For these Graces we humbly , Thank Thee.

Facts about fasting brought to light in Medjugorje by Our Lady Fasting is an armament, as Our Lady calls it, the "arms" in which to destroy Satan's power in your life. There are 26 main statements Our Lady has told us about fasting. The facts about fasting are as follows: 1. Fasting stops wars. 2. Fasting can suspend the laws of nature. 3. Fasting reduces punishments from God. 4. Fasting is an "arm," a weapon of significant power to defeat (of which atomic power does not compare). 5. Bread and water is the best fast. 6. Fasting, to be powerful, must be done with the heart. 7. Through fasting, the whole plan of Our Lady, that God himself planned for the world's salvation during this special time, will be achieved. 8. By giving our fasting to Our Lady, it "forces" Satan not to be able to seduce us to evil and drives him away. 9. Fasting purifies our hearts from the sins of our past (Through Confession, sins of the past are forgiven, but healing from life-long vice or memories that Satan uses against us to lead us back into sin, requires purification). 10. Fasting, coupled with prayer WILL obtain EVERYTHING you ask for (the exception would be something illicit). 11. Fasting sanctifies you to receive the Holy Spirit. 12. Humility is a fruit from fasting, when coupled with prayer. 13. The present fasting in the Church is not adequate. Our Lady desires this to change. She said fasting has been forgotten in the last quarter of this century in the Catholic Church. 14. Fasting is one element that keeps Satan from conquering us. Faith and prayer are the other two. We, in turn, are to conquer Satan. The arms to do so are fasting coupled with prayer. 15. Satan is enraged against those who fast and convert. 16. Fasting for the sick can cure them along with faith and prayer. 17. Fasting, along with prayer, was offered as a remedy by Our Lady to stop arguments among the Holy Priesthood. 18. Fasting will bring the Kingdom of God among us. 19. Fasting makes Our Lady happy. 20. Fasting will make prayer more vigorous. 21. Our Lady will make the maximum good come from our fast. She wants us to give our fast to Her in which she "disposes of them" according to the will of God. 22. Fasting, coupled with prayer, especially community prayer, will protect you from Satan's aggression in destroying marriages, creating division among priests and will crush him in his plans for obsessions and murders in society today of which Our Lady says he is responsible. 23. To obtain a grace from God, it is best you let no one know you are fasting. 24. We are to fast out of gratitude. 25. Fasting is to be encouraged in others. 26. Our Lady tells us to fast to prepare for the coming of Jesus. **all facts are from the Fasting booklet published by Caritas, Birmingham, AL I know October has come and gone but it's never too late. You can make November a journey of prayer and fasting also . Every time you pray the rosary , Our lady says to offer your worries to her, and in return PRAY FOR HER INTENTIONS. She will take care of your worries as long as you offer your prayers for her intentions. Simple right? It seems much easier to me . When I pray the rosary all's I have to do is offer my worries to her and pray for her intentions . That is much better then going through a laundry list of my own lol.

The Voice mentor told OK! magazine, ”The birth of my son is my proudest moment. Max is my greatest song.” She is taking time off from the show next year to focus on her music career. She added she will miss Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, and Blake Shelton. ”The coaches are like big brothers and the contestants are so hungry. I am better for it but I need to take a break to do my own thing, to bring so much back to them.” Two years ago she said in an interview she wants more children in the future. “I would love that one day, but not right now,” she said. “Eventually, I would like to give Max a brother or a sister.” Meanwhile she’s gearing up for her seventh album Lotus to hit the stores on November 13. “As in every record, it’s my heart. It’s a labor of love. It’s not just songs to me; these are blood, sweat and tears and stuff from the heart. You’ll hear on this record that I’ve written songs for the next generation to hopefully inspire new singers of raw talent and realness. … I definitely wanted to have fun and make Lotus about freedom.” Filed under: Christina Aguilera Photo credit: FameFlynet Leave a Comment »» Leave a Comment
4	In this issue: Our guest writer for this issue is Alkhatim Adlan, who is a political activist and thinker, who studied philosophy at the University of Khartoum. He spent 8 years in prison during Numairi's 16 years rule. Alkhatim emerged after the Intifada in 1984 as one the prominent spokesmen of the Sudanese Communist Party (SCP). He practiced journalism in Almidan and became editor-in-chief of the youth paper, Alshabiba. He went underground immediately after the NIF takeover on June 1989, and worked clandestinely against the regime for more than four years. At the time, he was described as the 'most wanted' politician by Sudanese security forces. He left Sudan incognito in October 1993. He resigned from the SCP in October 1994, denouncing the party for its bankruptcy and the obsolescence of Marxism. He formed, with others, the New Forces Democratic Movement (NFDM), of which he is now president. He authored numerous political and analysis articles. Please note that articles by guest writers express the writer's views which do not necessarily coincide with the editor's. By Alkhatim Adlan During the last three months, the Sudanese political scene has been dominated by two events: 1. The sudden arrival of Sadig Almahdi in Asmara, Eritrea in December 96. 2. The escalation of military confrontation between the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and government forces along the eastern borders with Eritrea and Ethiopia in January this year. Both events may prove to be of lasting significance for the future of Sudan, and that was why they gained very wide coverage in Sudanese and Arabic media. Some points may still be relevant: A warm welcome and some questions for Sadig Having been subjected to continual harassment by the regime for more than seven years; detained five times; held hostage and seriously threatened; the arrival of Sadig was met with universal jubilation from Sudanese across the whole political spectrum. His unwavering defiance of the government; his outspoken and earnest call for the restoration of democracy; his readiness for military confrontation to guard his uncharted route out of Sudan; helped him regain some of the support he had lost through the despicable failure of his previous five governments. Despite the euphoria inspired by his arrival, however, some important questions lingered in the air, and still do. Some of them are the following: It might still be too early to provide any definitive answers to these and other questions. It is possible, however, to mention some indicators. In a public statement to the Sudanese community in Cairo, Sadig expressed his full support for the Nairobi Declaration 93, in which NDA parties agreed to base civil rights on citizenship, regardless of race or religion and declared that international conventions on human rights would be part and parcel of the future Sudanese constitution. This, of course, is a secular position, but nobody is inclined to call it by that name, because the S word has fallen into disrepute due to the heavy bombardment of the fundamentalists who have succeeded in equating secularism with atheism, thanks to the lowly ceiling of political and philosophical discourse in the area. But Sadig never tires of simultaneously repeating that the NIF government has deformed the 'Islamic slogan' through dogmatism and short sightedness; implying that an enlightened Islamic alternative is still possible in Sudan. He vaguely hinted, of late, in an interview with the Gezira Satellite Channel (GSC), that the Moslem majority in Sudan can satisfy its 'aspirations', i.e.: implementing Islam, democratically, without jeopardizing the 'rights' of non-Moslems - (Those rights presumably fall short of implementing Christianity). These are familiar themes. They represent the basic flaw in Sadig's thought and deed. They are a trade mark for his tendency to have his cake and eat it. Sudanese have always expressed a tendency to look at the luminous side of things and a readiness to engage in wishful thinking. Whether they would rest, content with these contradictions, or whether they would demand of Sadig to spell out very clearly his position on the relation between religion and politics, depends largely on the extent to which they have drawn the right conclusions from their previous experience with him. Asked about his relationship to the NDA, in the first press conference he held in Asmara, Sadig said he would confer with (them) and seek their advice. The impression he left was that the NDA wan not an 'institution' into which he would fit; but an 'organisation' with which he would deal. Further practice would shed more light on this issue. Taking his son, Abdulrahman, to Asmara with him, Sadig seems to have left behind, with his other siblings, his seven-year old brain child 'Aljihad Almadani' (Civil Resistance). He significantly asked the armed forces to violently overthrow the government, reminding them that he happened to be the elected Prime Minister and representative of constitutional legitimacy. He coupled that with a national call for 'hijra' in which he summoned all Sudanese youth to join the fight immediately. This is viewed by all as an extremely positive attitude, putting Sadig in the heart of the on-going military confrontation with the regime. His wide ranging diplomatic initiatives have gained enormous weight to the opposition and has put Sudan in the spotlight again. There is a danger, however, that Sadig may become the victim of his own success and try to achieve a consensus around his person instead of being part of a national consensus on principles and issues. His not-too-distant history makes that danger real. It is in the best interests of Sudan, and of Sadig himself, if he would treat the NDA as an institution and try to fit into it. This will be highly welcome for all the parties of the opposition. A co-presidentship of the NDA with his friend and long-time ally, Mohamed Osman Almirghani, is something to think about. Confrontation on the Eastern Border: Has the knell tolled? The importance of the NDA's military victories on the eastern border can hardly be exaggerated. In a sweeping movement across the border, Kurmuk, Gissan, Menza, Yagora, Yabacher, Gadamayeb and others have been captured. The death toll among the government forces exceeded one thousand, others were arrested and almost a thousand of the People's Defence Forces (PDF), suddenly awakening to the real connotations of their name, joined the ranks of the opposition. The Five-Stars-Hotel's opposition proved to be at home in the rough terrain of eastern Sudan; the appointment of Dr. John Garang as military leader proved to be anything else but an empty gesture; and the assistance from sisterly countries was shown to have gone to the right people. On the other side, and from the southern-most part of Sudan, the SPLA has been on the move. The capture of Kaya and Yei is actually opening all the gates for Juba. The government characteristically alleged that a foreign invasion, led by Ethiopia, Eritrea and Uganda, encouraged by the US and Israel, was taking place. Nobody believed the flagrant lie. Many, however, were mystified and confused. The government has previously boasted of divine support; armies of angels were said to fight side by side with the government forces. The flora and fauna of the south were declared government-friendly; trees shouting Allahu Akbar in unison; monkeys self-sacrificially treading on land mines and detonating them. Isn't it strange of such a government to complain and become hysterical when her enemies seek 'human' assistance from their neighbours?! These developments have made two points clear: 1. The viability of the 'military alternative' has been confirmed beyond doubt. 2. Waging war on two fronts will progressively prove too enormous a burden for the government to pursue for a long time. Still, important questions loom very large. The space available can only allow of a few remarks. The aims of the war should be the destruction of the enemy. Any ambiguity about this might prove disastrous to the opposition. The government with its crystal clear aim of destroying the opposition will have the whole advantage. The Intifada is nothing else but what is happening all over Sudan taken together. The fighters in the south and the east are not preparing for the Intifada; they are making it. Urban masses will follow later. The destruction of Sudan has been going on, by an unprecedented pace, since June 1989. Tens of thousands have been killed; hundreds of thousands injured, forcefully removed; turned in refugees, their homes destroyed; their means of livelihood wiped out. Million others are subjected to a cruel process of gradual death through hunger, poverty, epidemics, insanity and depression. Infant mortality is one of the highest in the world. How can we afford to ignore real destruction to talk about a hypothetical one. If such logic were to prevail, the Hitlers, Chouchescos, Mengistos of the world would have been allowed to have their way. Fortunately it didn't. The Turabis and Bashirs should never be allowed to fair better than their predecessors. As forces of pure negativity, they are destroying our people and country. Standing up to them will, at least, provide some chances for it to rise from the ruins. The acceptance of a peaceful settlement by the NIF can only be dealt with as a highly hypothetical issue. Their past attitudes do not indicate such an inclination. Dealing with the miraculous and waiting for the improbable, the moment of truth is sure to elude them. If they choose, however, and contrary to all expectations, to dismantle their regime, and hand power over to the NDA, and face a fair trial, nobody will refuse the offer. The priority, however, is for the army officers to disengage themselves from the NIF regime and join the opposition, to preserve the reputation of the armed forces and their own personal dignity. Although the opposition is now living one of its best moments, and has enormous chances before it, it is equally faced with serious challenges: the restructuring of the NDA and opening it to non-partisan and professional participation; the reformulation of previous party documents and positions in the light of what has been agreed upon in Asmara; the devising of proper tactics to facilitate disengagement between the NIF and the armed forces. Is the NDA capable and willing to exert efforts required for the solution of those problems and others?. That is the question. After several weeks of relative calm on the war fronts in eastern and southern Sudan, renewed fighting had erupted along the Sudanese-Ugandan-Zairean borders in recent days. The Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) led by John Garang, had launched an attack against government forces in southern Sudan, thus opening yet another front, as part of the opposition's overall strategy of its wide-scale offensive, started on Jan. 12 , against Khartoum. The attacks across the southern border came as no surprise, as it had been widely anticipated in light of NDA statements and promise of opening other fronts in southern and western Sudan, and the government media repeated outcries of a massive military build-up on the southern border and of an impending Ugandan invasion. The SPLA forces of about 12,000 fighters, backed by tanks and heavy artillery, launched a simultaneous attack, which started at 5 am on Sunday March 9, on Kaya and the Yei-Juba road. In three days of fierce fighting, the SPLA managed to capture the key army garrisons of Kaya, 30 km from the border, Basi, Morobo and Gumuni on the Yei-Juba road, Loka, Lainya and five other military outposts. The headquarters of the National Tobacco Company near Gumuni is also now in SPLA hands. Yei, the second largest town on Bahr el-Jebel state and a strategically-important garrison town, fell to the SPLA after 2 days of siege. The government tried to parachute supplies to the besieged forces at Yei, but most of it landed into SPLA hands. With the capture of Yei and Morobo, the SPLA is in control of most of Bahr el-Jebel state, except for Juba, the capital, and Kajo Kaji, in the west bank of the Nile. This leaves Juba in a vulnerable situation as the 100 km stretch of road, from Yei to Juba, is now open to the advancing SPLA forces. The SPLA said it had destroyed in Kaya, Basi, Morobo and Yei, an army division of about 5 to 6 thousand soldiers, including a Major General and nine Colonels. More than 2,000 government soldiers who were fleeing to Juba, were ordered by their HQ in Khartoum and Juba to go to Yei (although the HQ knew it had already been captured by the SPLA) to help the situation there. They ran into SPLA hands and half of them were captured or surrendered and the other half killed or fled. This incident is bound to create a lot of discontent within the army. The SPLA also said it had captured a huge amount of arms including 15 T-55 tanks, six long-range artillery pieces, anti-aircraft guns and anti-tank cannons. Sudan immediately accused Uganda of launching the attack. The Minister of Culture and Information, al-Tayeb Ibram Khair, however, told state television that the rebels used sophisticated weaponry which indicated foreign involvement. 'Uganda does not posses these sophisticated weapons, nor does it have the ability to launch the attack.' he said. The army spokesman, Lt. Gen. Mohamed al-Sanousi, on the other hand, said 'the military equipment used is definitely America's, so are the rations'. Although Khartoum denied it had lost any towns to the SPLA and said the army had crushed an attack by Uganda, destroying tanks and causing a large number of casualties, the army spokesman said 'our fighters are courageously fighting the aggressors on all the battle fronts'. Information Minister, El-Tayeb Mohamed Khair denied that Yei fell to the SPLA, but said they had lost contact with its units. President Bashir, on the other hand, told a meeting of retired army officers in Khartoum that the two commanders of Kaya and Lainya were killed defending the towns and that six other senior officers were also killed at Lainya, Loka and Yei. He vowed to recapture 'in the next few days' all areas held by the SPLA and foreign forces. Uganda denied the charge by Khartoum and in return accused it of violating its air space and bombing northern Uganda. However, Uganda said its troops had sealed the border with Sudan and its senior army commander is in the area to monitor the situation. There are also reports that Ugandan and Sudanese forces had exchanged artillery fire across the tense border on Monday March 10. The loud crossfires were heard in the northeastern Ugandan city of Arua, 80 km south of the border. Despite the heightened tension and hostilities, Iran's Foreign Minister, Ali Akbar Valayati, visited Khartoum to follow up on the Iranian mediation between the two countries. While Sudan's foreign minister, Ali Osman Taha, said that the aggression by Uganda have rendered the talks, due to start in Kampala March 13, impossible, the meeting did take place with Sudan represented by First Under-Secretary at the Foreign Ministry, Ali Abdel Rahman al-Numeiri. The meeting ended into a deadlock, with both parties trading accusations. [] Sudan has signed a $7.6 million contract with the British firm Balfour Kilpatrick to supply raw materials to build four bridges. The bridges are part of the 1,205 km Western Salvation Highway which will run southwards from Khartoum and also connect Sudan with its neighbour Chad. The cost of the highway is estimated at $120 million; most of the funds would be contributions by the six states in the Kordofan and Darfur states. It was reported that workers at the Ministry of Roads and Communications pledged they would donate more than $17,000 from their salaries for the project. [] Sudatel, the privatised Sudanese telecommunication company, had announced that it had introduced mobile telephone service. The service will only cover Khartoum area, and the equipment cost, annual connection fees and call costs will be paid for in US dollars. The marketing manager of the company advised customers not to use their mobile phones in public places and mosques, so as not to provoke jealously from those who cannot afford it. Editor: Ali B.

Do you think this will work? I've had some bad luck before and some 100% wool yarn didn't do anything except get wet in the washer. 01-22-2007, 12:06 AM lots of us have used wool of the andes (WOTA) for felting. It works well. Sometimes 100% wool is treated so it WON'T felt. Wool that says "superwash" won't felt, and some lighter colors won't felt either because the yarn is bleached first. 01-22-2007, 12:21 AM The yarn that didn't work for me did not say superwash and it was dark blue. Jan in CA 01-22-2007, 03:15 AM Do you remember what type of yarn it was? Good to know so we don't accidentally use it, too.

4	UW-Platteville To Build Anaerobic Manure Digestion System Resize text Ag Weekly reports the University of Wisconsin-Platteville is investing in “cow power” beginning construction on a $1.18 million manure digestion system at Pioneer Farm. The university is the only in the Midwest to own its own manure digestion system. Plans to break ground are a step closer after recently receiving approval by the State of Wisconsin Building Commission. The next step is to collect bids from companies to design and build the system. The university plans to select a contractor by April to begin construction in June and have the machine ready to use by December. The project will digest manure, capturing the methane gas, but plans include a biodiesel manufacturing facility. Glycerin, a byproduct of pressed soybeans, will be added to manure and run through the digester to produce more methane. The digester could also use food waste and whey left from cheesemaking, but the university is limited to using less than 20 percent nonagricultural waste without needing additional permits. Manure from the dairy herd, beef herd and farrow to finish hog operation at Pioneer Farm will be used as the main source of substrate. Digesters are recommended for use on dairy farms with more than 800 cows. For more information click here.

4	New to casino games? We have a guide for you CINCINNATI - With 85 gaming tables, Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati's floor may be a bit intimidating to the novice. Not sure where to start or how to play? We've got a guide to three of the most popular casino games. The Basics: At the most basic, this card game is played between player and dealer with the goal to get the value of cards to equal, or come the closest, to 21. The game gets far more interesting and strategic though if all the players play against the dealer. When this is done, the chances of winning increase. Blackjack is played with one or more decks of 52 cards. Players are dealt two cards, and based on the value of the dealer's show card; they can decide to accept one or more cards to get closer to 21 or stand (which means the player stops accepting cards). The Play Face cards are valued at 10 points. Numbered cards have corresponding values. For example, if a player is dealt a queen and a nine, their hand totals 19. Aces, however, are valued at 1 or 11, depending on the situation. For instance, if a player is dealt an Ace and a five, their hand can either total six or 16. An Ace and a five equals six or a "soft 16," meaning even if a player accepts another card, they cannot "bust" or go over 21. So, if a player chooses to accept another card (a likely scenario if the player has any desire of winning), and it's a seven, their cards would total 13 – an Ace, a five and a seven, with the Ace counting as 1. If a player's first two cards total 17 or higher, it's best to stick with what you're dealt or stand. The dealer must hit until his two cards total 17 or more, or until he busts. As a player, the preference is to have the dealer go over 21 or "bust." If a player is dealt 13 and the dealer's up card is a five, the safest way to play is to always assume the dealer's down card is a 10. In this instance, the players expects the dealer's two cards to total 15 and the wise decision as a player is to stand, hoping the dealer busts on his own and everyone gets paid. If a player is dealt 13 again, but this time the dealer is showing a queen or a card equaling 10, the player must assume, or play for the worst-case scenario, the dealer is holding another 10 as the down card or 20. In this case, 13 does not beat 20 and the player must hit. Getting dealt a blackjack - an Ace and a 10 or face card – wins automatically, unless the dealer also receives a blackjack. For blackjack novices, there is a card, or what blackjack players call the "book," that explains every possible scenario on a table. It can be purchased at most casino gift shops and can be used at the table. The Odds A blackjack pays 3 to 2 odds. All other winning bets pay even money. If played correctly, blackjack has fairly favorable player odds. The house normally has a half-percent edge over the player. For more detailed information on blackjack, visit The Basics: Craps is a dice game in which players make wagers on the outcome of the dice roll. Players take turns and play against the house (the casino). Players can bet on the various options by placing chips in the appropriate sections of the board and there are a variety of odds on each bet. The Play: One central bet all novices can make to ease their way into the game is called the pass line bet. Craps is played in rounds with the come out roll as the first phase. To start a round, a shooter (the person rolling the dice) rolls and if the two dice total two, three or 12, the shooter is said to "crap out," with the players who bet on the pass line losing their bets and ending the round. If the shooter rolls a seven or 11 on the come out, the result is a win for pass line bets. The same shooter continues until he rolls a four, five, six, eight, nine or 10. That number becomes "the point," meaning if the shooter rolls a point number, the pass line bets win. If the shooter rolls a seven, the most common combination of two dice, the shooter craps out and the round ends. The Odds The house edge for the pass line bet is 1.41 percent. There are various house edge odds depending the bet. For more information on craps, visit The Basics: Perhaps the easiest game on the casino floor and the one most associated with gaming, the roulette wheel is a series of numbers on black and red squares. Many players play simultaneously. The Play: There are 38 numbers on the wheel: One to 36, a zero and a double zero. Players may choose to bet on a red number, a black number, an odd, an even, and a number range such one to 18, 19 to 36, 1 to 12, 13 to 24, 25 to 36. Players may also choose to bet on a combination of six numbers or less. Each bet, however, has different winning odds. The Odds: Betting on any one number pays 35 to 1 odds, two numbers pay 17 to 1, three numbers pay 11 to 1, four numbers pay 8 to 1, five numbers pay 6 to 1 and six numbers pay 5 to 1. Betting on number ranges 1 to 12, 13 to 24 and 25 to 26 pay 2 to 1 odds and all the rest of the bet pay even money or 1 to 1. The house edge on all bets is 5.26 percent except for betting on five numbers. Also known as the "first five" bet, the house edge on that bet is 7.89 percent. Below is a list of other card games featured at the Horseshoe Casino. The games are played against the dealer, rather than against other players at the table, or based on a pay table. A player's best hand is compared to the pay table to determine if the player won. Pay tables are often listed near or on a casino gaming table.

4	Brach's Pick-A-Mix Ah, yes. Even more goodness from Pinterest, this time provided by Once Upon A Product. My earliest memory of a Brach’s POP display was at the Lucky grocery store by my house back in Westchester (1980). I don’t remember any signage aside from the Brach’s logo, so I never quite understood how it worked; I mean, there were bins and bins of candy right there, unguarded, at my disposal. I didn’t see any prices and I knew that cashiers needed some kind of barcode to scan or code in…so how did they keep track of the Brachs inventory? It was simply too much of a temptation. I wondered, how could they even know if I took one? Just one? There was no way that somebody counted every single piece at the end of the day, right? Well, eventually, every time my parents sent me to buy groceries (usually milk, since my brothers and I drank so much of it all the time), I would pass by the Brach’s collection, look around nervously with my heart racing, and grab a piece of candy or two. My favorites were the square caramel chews or the neapolitan ones (3-layered chews with chocolate, coconut and strawberry…omg), or the butterscotch drops, or the sugar-coated gummy “brick” things that were green, orange or purple. There were also these shiny assorted foil-wrapped tootsie-roll looking things called “Royals” that were awesome—plus, they were skinny enough that I could actually grab a handful without looking too conspicuous. This went on for quite some time—months and months, maybe almost a year at least—until one day I finally noticed a large, imposing sign that clearly stated they were sold by weight and to use a bag for purchases. Beneath was also handwritten in big letters, “NO SAMPLING.” I couldn’t have been alone in my misadventures…or was I? Update: Well, well, well. Little did I know that only a click away lies, who not only remembers Brach’s candies like I do, but also has a freakin’ authentic Brach’s salesman display tray from the ’70s! #$(@$@#$!! Image via Brach’s salesman bulk candy display (1970s) – Image via Am I not the only one who salivates at the thought of eating some Brach’s candy right now? I can hear each and every crisp and crinkly crack of that cellophane candy wrapper in my little 9-yr.-old hands as I prepared myself for yet another sugary journey to happiness. Ah, sweet torture. Let’s bring ‘er in for a closer look. Brach's Royals - Image via Brach’s Royals – Image via Yup, those Royals were awesome. I loved their shiny foil packaging and assortment of flavors within them. Truthfully, I often spent some minutes at the store just gazing wondrously into what seemed to be a bottomless bin of Royals…of course, before I grabbed a few and took off. Ah, and my sweet old friends…those “jelly sugar-coated brick things”…well there they are. So good to see you again after all these years. Brach's Perkys (1970s) - image via Brach’s Perkys (1970s) – image via But what’s this? They have a real name? Why, yes! Perkys. Ah yes folks, behold once more the magic of the internet and how instantly we acquire information. Just think—if it weren’t for the web, I probably would’ve never known that those “jelly sugar-coated brick things” were actually called Perkys…annnnd…I wouldn’t have known that they were Brach’s answer to Chuckles candy. How do I know this? See below. Brach's Perkys ad (1986) - Image via Brach’s Perkys ad (1986) – Image via See how that red one boasts its shiny jelly interior? I vividly remember studying the marks my front teeth made when I bit one in half just like that…and wondered if someone could identify me by matching that with my dental records. Yes, I was geeky/dorky like that, and I still am. I actually don’t remember Chuckles candy, although they do look good. Now I’m hungry. Before I go to bed: Months ago I discovered The Candy Wrapper Museum while reminiscing with some co-workers about all the great candy from back in the day. I highly recommend a visit. Just remember to brush your teeth afterwards. Much thanks to for this week’s sentimental trip. Related Posts with Thumbnails

Magazine, published a feature on companies who will be in the spotlight during this year’s Super Bowl and guess who made the list? That’s right! CENTURY 21! Business reporter April Joyner reported in her piece titled “The Other Big Game” that last year the Super Bowl received 111 million viewers and as such, companies with advertisements during this year’s broadcast are being “more strategic than ever about maximizing impact.” How does CENTURY 21 plan to maximize that impact? Joyner explains, “CENTURY 21 wants to reach Gen-X and Gen-Y viewers—the groups most likely to make a big move—and plans to post teasers on Facebook and YouTube before the game. Plus, as the real estate market continues to slump, the company hopes the ad will lift its agents’ morale.” In addition to displaying confidence in the market and in the brand’s System members via the spot, our Chief Marketing Officer Bev Thorne added, “It’s always fun to see yourself on TV.” There you have it!

(AP Photo) ( – Plans to build an oil pipeline stretching from Canada to U.S. refineries in the Gulf of Mexico have been put on hold again as the State Department considers the pipeline's environmental impact on U.S. lands – a step that is delaying job and economic growth and revenue growth through taxes on the project, say pipeline advocates. The latest delay of the 1,700-mile XL Keystone pipeline – under consideration by Canada and the United States since 2008 – follows the Environmental Protection Agency’s demand that the State Department produce a second environmental impact statement (EIS) after deeming the first one “inadequate.” In a Mar. 15 statement, the State Department said it would begin accepting public comments on a second EIS in mid-April, and it promised a decision on the pipeline project by the end of the year. “Following issuance of a Final EIS, the State Department will solicit public comment and host a public meeting in Washington, D.C., before it makes a determination under Executive Order 13337 on whether issuance of this permit is in the U.S. national interest,” the statement says. “The U.S. Department of State expects to make a decision on whether to grant or deny the permit before the end of 2011.” The move has sparked reaction from the oil and natural gas industry on both sides of the U.S. and Canadian border, particularly at a time when high gas prices and turmoil in the Middle East are putting pressure on the Obama administration to reduce dependency on foreign oil by developing domestic reserves and partnering with friendly oil resources. The American Petroleum Institute (API) called the delay “new environmental hurdles” to block a “much-needed pipeline” that would transport Canadian oil sands crude. “It is past time for the administration to approve this important infrastructure investment,” Jack Gerard, president and CEO of API, said in a statement issued on the same day as the State Department’s. TransCanada, the company in charge of the project, noted that Keystone XL "has been under review since 2008 and we are confident we have addressed the major questions raised by regulators and government agencies," Russ Girling, TransCanada's president and CEO, said in a statement. He said he “expected” to see the project, which is an expansion of TransCanada’s core Keystone pipeline, get under way by 2013. gasoline prices, gas station (AP File Photo/Matt Rourke) TransCanada said the new pipeline would bring more than $585 million in new taxes to states and cities located on its path through the American heartland. An additional $5.2 billion in property taxes would be paid over the proposed 50-year lifespan of the project and create jobs that would provide $6.5 billion in personal income to American workers. "Keystone XL is a shovel-ready project that is funded completely by private sector investment at no cost to American taxpayers," Girling said. "It will be a safe, modern and leading-edge pipeline and we have provided the Department of State and other agencies with the facts regarding Keystone XL's design, safety, operating procedures and limited environmental impact." According to the Canadian Energy Research Institute, development of Canadian oil sands could create 340,000 U.S. jobs. Labor unions also support the project, saying it will directly create 20,000 "good jobs" for American workers. In a March 15 statement, Teamsters President Jim Hoffa said he was pleased that the State Department is "moving forward" with the pipeline approval process: “In an ideal world, the United States wouldn’t need to import crude oil from oil sands. We’d much rather rely on clean, renewable resources for all our energy needs. But it will be many years before we’ve ended our dependence on petroleum." Hoffa also noted TransCanada's "responsible construction practices," and he said allowing the approval process to move forward -- by launching a second EIS -- "was the right decision" for the State Department to make. In July 2010, the EPA sent a letter to the State Department criticizing its original EIS as “inadequate.” The 18-page letter detailed a long list of concerns, including pollution from the refineries, problems with spillage containment in case of an accident, and environmental justice -- in particular “the potential for disproportionately high and adverse human health and environmental effects on minority, low-income and Tribal populations.” The National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a liberal group, also reacted to the State Department’s decision on Mar. 15, echoing the EPA’s concerns and adding how the pipeline might adversely have an effect on migratory birds and the American Burying Beetle. “We trust that the State Department will allow the draft SEIS to dictate next steps, rather than impose artificial deadlines that might short change the very issues that convinced the State Department more analysis was needed,” NRDC staff member Liz Barratt-Brown wrote on the group’s Web site. “But for today, we are glad for all the people who live along the pipeline and in Alberta and Texas have made their voices heard.” API’s Gerard cited in his statement that a preliminary report by the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers claims that nearly 1,000 U.S. companies in 47 states currently support Canadian oil sands development and that it would be a boon to the economy, unless the State Department rules against it. “Oil is a global commodity,” Gerard said. “It will go to where it is welcomed and the capital investments and jobs will go with it.”

4	Make Any Pair of Gloves Work with a Touchscreen It's getting cold outside in many regions, and gloves are becoming the norm. If you want to control your touchscreen phone without exposing your hands, or paying for specialty gloves, Instructables suggests grabbing a needle, and some conductive thread. Conductive thread—no, we'd never heard of it, either. Instructables user Grathio points us to this explanation at Fashioning Technology, which also suggests where to grab some of it. You won't need to be skilled at sewing to pull off this glove modification, but you will need to take the time to test out what works with your screen. Grathio suggests leaving a wider, messier spread of thread on the inside of the glove to facilitate contact with your finger, but limiting the thread exposed on the outside to a tightly wound circle, about a quarter inch in diameter. If you are good with a needle, you'll likely be able to make the end result look a little neater. And if you're really good and want to offer notes to anyone else looking to tackle this project, drop the advice (or link) in the comments here.

Ignite something CMO Network 6/29/2011 @ 10:04AM \|380 views Marketers Should Stop Worrying, Start Living high wire 2 Image by _gee_ via Flickr Fear not, I’m not about to plagiarise Dale Carnegie or use Jedi mind tricks to make you a better marketer but the book of the man was the inspiration for this piece. This is about perspective and the need for worry-free risk in what we do in order to do great work. A friend of mine’s wife is a surgical assistant. She specialises in cardio vascular operations and that means none of her jobs are minor especially when it’s an emergency. I think, and I’m sure you’ll agree, this sounds like quite a stressful job. Thankfully, she’s seen more successes than failures and she loves what she does because at the end of the day, ‘you can only do your best’. She is also one of the calmest and happiest people I know. By contrast, I look around some days at my colleagues – and myself – and speak with friends in other agencies and I’m left wondering, why we get so highly strung and stressed? I know the answer, it’s because if you’re good you care and are passionate about what you do. Everything you create has a little bit of you in it and so we can’t help boiling over from time to time. The difference is, if you get it wrong, you can make the next thing better and redeem yourself. I’ve always felt very privileged to call being ‘creative’ a job. We get paid to spend a brand’s money delivering business results with advertising and have fun while we do it. I’m not suggesting what we do is easy; a lot of people are poor at it. But, we have to take risks in order to do great work and deliver results. The new global economy dictates the pace of change and it will never be this slow again. So, enjoy the process, the peaks and the troughs. Embrace the madness, take risks and you’ll do the best work of your life. After all, what’s the worst that can happen?

I was using rsync, but the problem with rsync is that I have a back up server then filled with lots and lots of small files - I want larger files for spooling to tape. (Other suggestions welcome) So I'm trying switching to streaming gzip'd tars from each client to backup to the server. I have one server that opens connections to each of the clients and sucks the data using netcat (now netcat6 in ipv4 mode) and writes it to disc, one file per client. Now the downside here relative to rsync is that it is going to transfer and write a lot more data. Now the clients are on 100Mb/s, and the server on GigE, the clients sometime have to think while they gzip their data, so I'd like to suck data from multiple clients at once. So I run multiple of these netcat's in parallel - currently about 9. I've benchmarked write performance on the filesystem at 60-70MB/s for a single write process (as shown with iostat) for a simple dd if=/dev/zero of=abigfile bs=1024k My problem is that with the parallel writes iostat is showing I'm actually getting ~3MB/s write bandwidth - that stinks! The machine is a dual xeon with 1GB of RAM, an intel GigE card and a 2.6.11 kernel, a 3ware-9000 series pci-x controller with a 1.5TB RAID5 partition running Reiser3. Reiser3 is used because I couldn't get ext3 stable on a filesystem of this size (-64ZByte free shown in df), and xfs didn't seem stable on recovering from an arbitrarily placed reset. The 3ware has write caching (with battery backup). (Note this is the 9000 series SATA ones, not the older 7000/8000 that really did suck when writing). The CFQ scheduler is being used and I've turned up nr_requests to 1024. So as I see it I have to persuade all appropriate parts to buffer sensibly and try and generate as large I/O requests as possible; I've told netcat6 (on the read side) to use 128k buffers: nc6 -4 --recv-only --buffer-size=131072 --idle-timeout=3600 Iostat is showing the world is not happy: 0.15 0.00 2.65 97.20 0.00 sda 0.00 249.95 0.10 193.62 0.80 3548.55 0.40 1774.28 avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await svctm %util 18.32 1290.24 8225.93 5.15 99.73 0.15 0.00 3.05 95.95 0.85 sda 0.00 260.96 0.00 217.62 0.00 4342.74 0.00 2171.37 avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await svctm %util 19.96 1630.13 6951.26 4.60 100.12 (I could do with a pointer to something explaining all the fields here!) But as I read this, the machine is stuck waiting on I/O (OK), but only managing to write ~2MB/s - and seems to have done that 2MB in about 200 writes (am I reading that correctly?) - which is rather on the small side. So I can understand it going slowly if it is interleaving all the requests at tiny 10KB writes all over the disc - how do I persuade it I'd like it to buffer more and get larger writes - or how do I understand why it isn't? At the moment it is feeling like I'm going to have to write something that has a single process doing the writes and accumulates the data from all the clients itself so that there is only ever one process writing. I'm open for all suggestions. \ _________________________\|_____ \|_______/ the body of a message to More majordomo info at Please read the FAQ at \ / Last update: 2005-07-31 18:47 [from the cache] ©2003-2011 Jasper Spaans

4	Critics Assail Government's Response To Student-Aid Fraud "Two years ago, in the wake of an alarming report from its inspector general on fraud in federal student-aid programs, the U.S. Education Department announced that it would write new rules to protect taxpayer dollars from abuse," according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. "But when a negotiating panel met in Washington this year to craft new 'program integrity' rules, the subject of fraud barely came up. The department offered only one proposal to deal with fraud, and it quickly abandoned the idea after colleges criticized the plan. By the end of the fourth negotiating session, last month, the package of rules contained nothing to address a problem that the inspector general says grew by 82 percent from 2009 to 2012. ... The extent of the damage done by student-aid fraud isn’t known, but the inspector general estimated last year that as many as 85,000 students may have participated in fraud rings from 2009 to 2012, at a potential cost to taxpayers of $187-million. That’s a significant loss, but it’s still a very small share of the $546-billion that the government disbursed in grants and loans during those four years. Some financial-aid administrators say the comparison shows that the problem has been blown out of proportion. Government investigators nonetheless take student-aid fraud seriously. Over the past decade, the Education Department’s inspectors general have testified before Congress five times on the susceptibility of online programs to fraud and abuse. ... And last year, the department began flagging students with 'unusual enrollment histories' for further scrutiny by colleges. If an institution finds, upon reviewing a flagged transcript, that the student hadn’t earned any credits at one or more of the institutions he attended, the college must seek an explanation from him. If the student fails to provide one, the college must deny him aid. Financial-aid administrators say many of the flagged applicants turn out to be legitimate students who have struggled academically, racking up debt but little or no credit. But some administrators say the additional work is worth it, even if it catches only a few repeat offenders. 'It is not a burden in the effort to prevent fraud and abuse,' says Richard Heath, director of financial aid at Anne Arundel Community College. 'Even if schools are understaffed, it’s still the right thing to do.' Other aid administrators feel that federal officials have placed too heavy an onus on colleges while falling short of their own responsibilities. 'The department keeps coming up with all these things schools should do to prevent fraud,' says Karen McCarthy, a senior policy analyst at the National Association for Student Financial Aid Administrators. Some administrators feel that 'perhaps the department needs to be introspective and consider what it could do.'" A paid subscription may be required to access this content.
4	The three Spaniards who were aboard a vessel intercepted by Israel while trying to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza spoke out against the Israeli government on their return to Spain. Their detention in the Israeli port of Ashdod was "very rough," Ricardo Sixto, a leftist member of the European Parliament, told reporters at Madrid's Barajas International Airport. A score of Gaza Flotilla supporters waving Palestinian flags were on hand to greet Sixto and attorney Begoña Zabala. The Israeli government "has again assaulted a European-flagged vessel, and in international waters, breaching international law," Sixto said. Israeli naval units surrounded the Finnish-flagged Estelle and commandos boarded the vessel, forcing the crew to sail to Ashdod, where the foreign activists were arrested for illegally entering Israel. The third Spanish citizen on the Estelle, journalist Laura Arau, arrived in Barcelona late Sunday after being expelled from Israel. Israeli agents subjected her and other passengers to "aggressive" interrogation, Arau told Efe. The first effort to break Israel's blockade of Gaza came in May 2010, when a six-ship flotilla led by the Turkish vessel Mavi Marmara was likewise intercepted by the Israeli navy. In that instance, Israeli commandos killed nine people aboard the Marmara, including a Turkish-born U.S. citizen. Follow us on Like us at
4	Tuesday, October 21, 2008 Taxation Without Representation There's a silly argument going around about taxes and especially about Obama's promise to cut taxes for 95% of working families. Hilzoy gives a good summary of the issues: Cliff May at The Corner quotes Kimberley Strassel: "To kick off our show tonight, Mr. Obama will give 95% of American working families a tax cut, even though 40% of Americans today don't pay income taxes! How can our star enact such mathemagic? How can he "cut" zero? Abracadabra! It's called a "refundable tax credit." It involves the federal government taking money from those who do pay taxes, and writing checks to those who don't. Yes, yes, in the real world this is known as "welfare," but please try not to ruin the show." It is a silly argument, because what Obama's election promise (always to be remembered as an election promise) talks about is something to do with "working families", not with "all Americans." Lots of Americans are children, for one thing, and "families" often contain more than one person and some of those other members of the family are not actually paying income tax even though the family on the whole is. In short, "American working families" is a different counting concept than "Americans." They are both pretty fuzzy concepts, though, when it comes to defining who pays taxes in this country. More generally, Americans pay all sorts of taxes, not just the federal income tax. There are payroll taxes, property taxes, estate taxes, sales taxes and so on. The argument is silly not only for those reasons, but also because presidential candidates always promise the moon, on platter with parsley nicely next to it, and we know this. McCain's campaign promises have a small mathematics problem, too. Or rather, not so small a problem.

If anyone would be able to shed some light on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated. #2 SiCrane Moderators - Reputation: 10172 Posted 03 March 2013 - 10:01 AM Generally you create an arbitrary scale for your objects and then model accordingly. For example, you might define 1 unit to be 1 inch, so your model for a sword would be somewhere around 30 to 40 units long and a woman might be 70 to 80 units tall. Generally your 3D Software has an option for you to specify the unit to real world scale that you want so that you can model in real world units. Of course different software often ships with radically different defaults (Ex: Carrara uses 1 unit is one inch but Cinema 4D uses 1 unit is one meter). And sometimes the bastards switch from one scale to another between versions (Ex: Poser 5 used 1 Poser unit to be 96 inches but Poser 6 uses 103.2 inches). #3 wolfgang959 Members - Reputation: 107 Posted 03 March 2013 - 11:25 AM Okay thanks for your help that's made it a little more clearer to understand, you see i come from a engineering background i design engines and parts in 3D modeling software, and this project has just been a little hobby for me. I'm use to designing things with very accurate measurements and i didn't think the step from that to this would be so great. So from what your saying am i right in understanding that the game engine (which ever i choose) will also have this unit to real world scale then also. If that's the case would it be best to find out that scaling first then apply it into the models that i'm going to create, does that make sense? #4 3Ddreamer Crossbones+ - Reputation: 3282 Posted 03 March 2013 - 08:37 PM I use different methods for sizing and scaling depending on the needs of what is most efficient or accurate in the circumstances. My most common techniques: 1) Establish the scale of the grid in the program. For example, in Wings3D one square in the grid of the viewport is one square meter. 3DS Max, Blender, or Deep Explorer have others. I have measuring tools which I have made in the past which I can quickly bring in to the viewport by importing or opening them in the program. The appropriate ones are chosen, for instance, 10 kilometer one for terrain levels or a height scale for characters ( These scales have height and length or height and width measured ). These tools are: image planes, images, tetrahedrons which have been subdivided, or custom made measuring jigs for unusual shapes or measurements. 2) Sometimes I import a previous made character or other model which is the appropriate or close to the desired size and shape of the new content to be used as a kind of template. 3) Parts of previous models may also be used or combined from different models to be used as a template. A case would be a ship which is the same class of build, such as aircraft carrier of a class (Iowa Class Battleships, or other class, are examples) I may use a whole model as a template for a future one or parts of it which are to be the same in the new model. Other times these parts my be transformed while keeping the original dimensions. I always verify the model dimensions with a measuring stick or measuring square (similar to a carpenter's square) before declaring the model finished. Strategic Considerations: 1) Generally build and measure the most important parts or art assets first. 2) Create the art assets and measure them which are most often viewed or used in the game. 3) Always prioritize a process of most important to least important and repeat the cycle until all assets are done: Example of build, measure, and import in to game: a) Terrain (Finish the land closest to the main character first if possible) b) Main Character c) Vehicle or building used by the main character d) Weapons or tools used by the main character e) Environmental assets used by or closest to the main character, such as rocks, trees, furniture, and so forth Repeat the process with the second, supporting, or opposing character and all environmental assets like listed above here. Note: In some games, the game engine might allow you to resize the art assets after import. All assets should ideally be measured before you import into game to avoid distracting the artistic train of thought. Try to keep the technical things such as measuring the objects outside the game as much as possible to keep the in game art workflow as pure as possible. This results in most powerful artistic creativity. Important: The more polygons and other aspects such as ray-tracing (should be avoided most of the time) in an area than the greater the hit on performance, so there are programs which measure these things - an important area of measuring art assets. For example, programs can measure numbers of polygons, vertices, edges, faces, surface area, and surface shader area within a given area or volume of the game scene. Some do this by core or threading, too. This is advanced but definitely crucial ways of measuring models or other art assets.

She was performing her song "Judas" at the time, during the last of three shows in Auckland. She is currently in the middle of her "Born This Way Ball" world tour. More from GlobalPost: Indonesia: Lady Gaga's sold-out show is canceled According to Rolling Stone, the singer said "I did hit my head and I think I may have a concussion but don't you worry I will finish this show." Rolling Stone cited her fan site which reported the singer continued the show, after leaving the stage briefly, and sang another 16 songs. She "even met some fans backstage."

We took the kids to the beach and, of course, the Monterey Bay Aquarium. But the real reason we were in town was to attend the Monterey Beer Fest at the fairgrounds. Monterey Beer Fest The weather was very cooperative and the June gloom was nowhere in sight, instead the skies filled with a brilliant blue and feathery white fluffy clouds. A warm sun with a cool breeze kept the day at a Goldilocks temperature most of the day. Monterey Beer Fest The fest quickly filled the fairgrounds, exceeding the estimated 4,000. Beers from 100 different breweries from around the world were poured and the background was filled with the music of three different cover bands, who channeled the music of Weezer, The Police and Tom Petty. The Deschutes Trailer The Deschutes Beer Trailer that’s been visiting locations throughout the Bay Area was on hand to pour beer. The Brewing Network The festival was hosted by Chris Nelson and Merideth Canham-Nelson, who write online at thebeergeek.com. Also on hand was Justin Crossley (far right) with his Brewing Network who broadcast live throughout the festival. Here they”re interviewing Chris and Meredith (far left). You can also listen to the broadcast from Saturday as a podcast. The Johnsons By far, the best story of the festival was the wedding reception of newlyweds Mitch and Melissa Johnson. They had originally planned on attending the festival but mixed up their dates so both the fest and their wedding fell on the same day. Undaunted, they bought festival tickets for everybody attending the wedding and held their reception right there with 5,000 of their best friends. Now that’s just got to be the beginning of a great life together! It really was a beautiful day and a great way to spend it there at the fairgrounds. While crowded in the middle where the beer was located, there was plenty of room to spread out around the fringes. The music was never too loud. There was plenty of food available from local food booths. My two kids had a ball with two friends also there with their parents, running around the grass and exploring each others’ toys. Fun for the whole family. • http://www.thebeergeek.com Chris Thanks for coming down Jay! • http://www.belukus.net Matt Pushinsky The fest was a great success.

A delegation of women from Iraq told stories last night in Washington, D.C., unlike anything we've ever heard about this war from the media in the United States. And the media was not there, so I'm going to tell you what they said. The event was held at Busboys and Poets, the restaurant that serves as the gathering place for all social justice groups in Washington. The restaurant's owner is Andy Shallal, an Iraqi American and an active opponent of the war. Shallal spoke briefly, and then Gael Murphy of CODE PINK introduced six women. Gael Murphy of CODE PINK introduces Elaine Johnson, Eman Khamas, and Entisar Ariabi. Elaine Johnson is an African American woman from South Carolina who lost her son in the war. She said: "When I met George Bush, five or six days after my son was killed, I promised him one thing, that he will forever see my face ....[drowned out by applause] "You send a son, and you get back a coffin, but you don't know who's in the coffin. So, a little part of me is hoping I'll get a knock on the door, and my only son will say 'Mom, I'm home.' "I don't understand why Bush is still in office. But as long as Elaine is out here and I got y'all backing me, we gonna get him!" From left: Elaine Johnson, Eman Ahmad Khamas, Entisar Mohammad Ariabi, Faiza Al-Araji, Souad Al-Jazairy, Nadje Al-Ali. Eman Ahmad Khamas is a human rights advocate who has documented abuses by the U.S. military in Iraq. She is a member of Women's Will, and is married with two daughters. She said: "Hundreds of Iraqi mothers and wives are, like you, waiting for a knock on the door ... "This occupation has destroyed Iraq. Americans don't know that tens of thousands of Iraqis are in prisons. Americans don't know how many have been killed. Lancet reported 100,000 in 2004, not counting Falluja. Now it is something like double this number. "Hundreds of thousands of families must search for men who are missing, and they are left with nothing to support themselves. "Many people do not know about the bombing of cities. Bush said the war ended on May 1, 2003. That's not true. Many Iraqi cities have been bombed severely. And families are buried in the rubble. "'Get the troops back home' is not enough. Yes, the occupation has to end immediately, but those responsible for these crimes have to be held responsible."

2	Free Markets, Free People Our Olympic Pitch? “Do It For The Fat Kids!” Here’s how the White House blog introduces Michele Obama’s words about the 2016 Olympics to Chicago: First Lady Michelle Obama brought American pride to the Danish capital today … Really? “American pride?” Does this hit you as a good dose of American pride? Funds are drying up so kids can’t engage in sports, learn how to swim or even ride a bike? Funds? Like government funds? My learning to swim certainly had nothing to do with funding and riding a bike? Please. That consisted of a shove from my dad down a small hill. It is America the poor – we can’t afford to keep our children fit – and America the fat – childhood obesity is increasing. What it isn’t is American pride. I can’t imagine anyone calling it that. And I certainly can’t imagine a representative of this country using that paragraph and believing it really represents “American pride”. • Facebook • Twitter • LinkedIn • Tumblr • Digg • Reddit • email • Print • Google Bookmarks 21 Responses to Our Olympic Pitch? “Do It For The Fat Kids!” • stupid is as stupid does • That is freakin’ embarrassing! Funds drying up? Really?? REALLY??? Seems to me the feds are spending at an ever increasing rate, so where’s the money going? • The feds aren’t spending ENOUGH, so it’s a cut. Get it? Gotta understand how those DC people think. • There’s a mythology or psychology that this stuff was all fully funded at some golden period in the past. Probably just before republican obstructionism. I mean, how else did we get to this point? It had to be the government that got us here. There’s no other explanation. • I’m so proud to live in a country where all our children are fat and need the example of foreign atheletes to inspire them to learn to ride bikes, swim, play, and frolic. Oh, and where our government is too broke to give children money to learn to do these things. I… I… I’ve never been proud of my country until this moment. Thank you, Michelle O, for lending your sculpted biceps and dulcet voice to bring American pride not only to Copenhagen, but also to this poor, downtrodden, Bible-thumping, gun-clinging, racist. / sarc Good heavens, where did this woman grow up? And in what sort of environment? How does a person who grows up in America come to have this view of our country? I will admit that we’re not a perfect country (though I don’t want to live anywhere else, but I will say that Italy is quite nice), but she makes it sound like we’re a more broke, less joyous version of Airstrip One. • Good heavens, where did this woman grow up? I can lend some insight. She grew up in the same city as I. In fact, we graduated high school the same year. I was not as fortunate as Michelle though. My parents sent me to a Catholic high school. I’m sure it was tough for them to pay for it, but it was a step up from the publich high school choices. Michelle attended a selective magnet school (which my folks also helped fund). Michelle then attended Princeton. I had the grades for Princeton but couldn’t afford it. Michelle didn’t have to worry about that. So, really, it’s no wonder that Michelle believes that achievement can only come via government largesse. And yet she was never proud of her country until her husband was elected. Amazing. • Someone tell me this: is it unpatriotic to root against this country getting the 2016 games? If so, then I am unpatriotic. I want to see The Clown™ and Mrs. Clown™ come home with a dark mood and a sneer, sort of the way Americans feel about them and their crooked maladministration right about now. • You got it all wrong, James. It’s not unpatriotic to root against This Country, that of course is still perfectly acceptable. No, no, what is unpatriotic in the extreme is for you to root against Mayor-for-Life Jabba Daly’s chance to loot the gold mine he’s been waiting his entire life for, now THAT is unpatriotic!! And doubly unpatriotic of you to even think of suggesting that Han and Chewbacca are doing this just for some kind of political payoff to a machine that they owe great past debts to. Perish the Thought. • “There’s a mythology or psychology that this stuff was all fully funded at some golden period in the past.” Excellent point. Possibly this was actually true before government salaries become 130% that of private sector comparable jobs. • I wonder if it took all 22 staff members to come up with that comment or whether it was a DIY job. • They cut Federal bicycle funding? AGAIN? Damn those conservatives! And swimming hole funding and subsidies for swim trunks and suits? My GOD! IS There NO LIMIT that these conservatives in control of Congress will stoop to! • Well, at least she’s finally proud of her country. I guess. • I guess it is conservative school boards that are dropping PE and banning kids from running on the play ground playing tag. It might hurt the poor dears self esteem if they get tagged ‘it’ or nailed with a dodgeball because they didn’t dodge. • I went satirical, rewriting this quote here. But after the satire, I looked at what her quote really means… And this is what I came up with: America used to bid on the Games by suggesting that we were the best place to host the Games — you know, from each according to his ability. Now, on the other hand, we bid based on how much the Games will bring to us — to each according to his need. • I don’t see the down side of Obama’s Olympic presser. If the IOC awards it to Chicago, it will confirm Obama as the “Shill-in-Chief” and expose the IOC as a baldly political organization. If the IOC turns down Chicago, Obama will be diminished as “the Shill who couldn’t get the job done.” Either way, it a WINRAR!! • After the Salt Lake City Olympics, it obvious that Obama had to show up with a truckload of cash to make any difference. • This woman is unbelievably tone deaf: • I’m not rooting against the United States… I’m rooting for Rio… Wonder how much of their Carnivale spirit will show up in the opening show.

4	House Republicans accuse Senate colleagues of caving on push to de-fund ObamaCare House Republicans, in an unusually caustic intra-party squabble, are ripping their conservative colleagues in the Senate for what they see as an abrupt cave-in on the push to de-fund ObamaCare. “They're waving the white flag already,"one House GOP lawmaker said Wednesday. The squabble started after House Speaker John Boehner earlier in the day announced he would agree to the demands of Tea Party-aligned lawmakers to tie a vote on de-funding the health care law to a vote on a must-pass budget bill. The move would effectively condition the approval of the spending bill on ObamaCare being de-funded, or else risk a government shutdown when funding runs out at the end of the month. “Today's announcement that the House will vote to defund ObamaCare is terrific news,” Cruz said, in a press release from him, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah. House Republicans are concerned that this kind of approach effectively pins the entire effort on the House. "We expect them to stand and filibuster like Rand Paul," fumed one senior House GOP aide. "It's time to put on the big boy pants," said one House Republican who didn't want to be identified. "Maybe this will wean us of the bed-wetters." A senior GOP leadership aide said they don't expect this dissension to blow up the bill in the House on Friday. But they are concerned about where things are going now if the GOP senators don't defend their turf. Effectively, in announcing the new bill, Boehner and his deputies backed off a compromise approach they earlier tried to sell to rank-and-file conservatives. Under that plan, the House would have sent two bills to the Senate -- one to de-fund ObamaCare, the other to fund the government. The Senate, then, would have been able to easily bypass the ObamaCare bill and send the spending measure straight to the White House, in turn averting a government shutdown. But House conservatives revolted, and Boehner now is tying the two votes together. But the plan is undoubtedly risky. Both Obama and Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid have suggested Republicans will bear the brunt of the blame if the gambit results in a government shutdown. Obama blasted Republicans during an interview Tuesday with Telemundo. "We're hearing that a certain faction of Republicans, in the House of Representatives in particular are arguing for government shutdown or even a default for the United States of America ... if they don't get 100 percent of what they want," Obama said. The GOP measure would fund the government through Dec. 15, at current funding levels. Republicans also plan to push a measure dealing with the debt ceiling, with a mid-October deadline looming for when the government can no longer honor its obligations.

4	Lawyers on the march What are the latest Pakistani protests about? The protest has been launched by anti-government lawyers campaigning for an independent judiciary - a bone of contention for a long time. They have been joined by the opposition Pakistan Muslim League and its leader, Nawaz Sharif, who are furious at moves to bar them from office. How will the protests unfold? Though dubbed a "long march", the protests take the form of a motor convoy through the country. It is due to start in the south and culminate in a sit-in outside parliament in Islamabad on Monday. What do the lawyers want? Lawyers are still agitating for the reinstatement of a former chief justice of the supreme court, Iftikhar Chaudhry, sacked by former military ruler Pervez Musharraf in 2007. But President Asif Zardari fears that if reinstated he could rescind Zardari's immunity from prosecution for old corruption charges. Why is the confrontation important? Pakistan matters. It is a nuclear power with a burgeoning domestic Islamist insurgency that poses a security risk not just for neighbouring Afghanistan and India, but for countries with historic social and cultural links such as Britain. The US and Britain would rather the country's leadership concentrated on fighting terrorism than each other. An alliance between the democrats following the 2007 assassination of Zardari's wife, Benazir Bhutto, proved all too brief. Analysts are concerned that if the democratic forces self-destruct, the military will step in once again.

Clearly, that doesn't concern too many of us, since we're still buying plenty of analogue tellies. This situation may have got Parliament in a panic but plenty of punters know all they need to go digital is to pick up a set-top box. Or how about a 'set-back' box - a compact unit that does the same job but is intended to fit onto the back of your set? TVonics MFR-300 Tvonics' MFR-300: not so much set-top and set-back Enter TVonics with its MFR-300, a shiny black gadget that's about the size of a pack of cigarettes and intended to bring digital TV to all those small, Scart-free tellies out there. It also has a neat, niche feature: Audio Description - broadcast speech that provides folk who can't see so well with a guide to the on-screen action. The MFR-300 comes with its own remote control, an external infrared pick-up and the inevitable AC adaptor - in this case, it's discreet, barely bigger than a standard three-pin plug. Power and the signal from the IR receiver are fed into connectors on the back the MFR-300. So too is the aerial feed. There's an output port next to it, allowing the TVonics device to sit between antenna and telly. There's no Scart connector, but that's the whole point of this box: to bring digital TV to sets that were never intended to be connected to other devices except through the aerial socket.

(which spies allege was a result of Lance Jensen “cleaning house”) last week has found new employment. Thomas O’Connell, who was with said Boston agency for ten months and served as a director of strategy, has now landed a VP/communications planning gig across the way at Hill Holliday. No word on the job status of his colleague Ross Cidlowski, who also served as a co-director of strategy while at Modernista. The latter agency, though, does tell us that it’s bringing in a new head of planning, who is expected to start next week and we’re being told is a “very big hire.” We should hear about the official announce on this within the next day or two.

Your friend's e-mail: Your Name: Your e-mail: Message subject: TigerDirect Accepting BitCoin Payments for Purchases Yesterday, announced that they would be accepting Bitcoins as an official form of payment for purchases made on their website. They also put up a page that explains how one can obtain Bitcoins and how you can pay for products on TigerDirect using Bitcoins. While I'm not sure if TigerDirect is doing this for marketing purposes or because they want to be Bitcoin-friendly, either way they're going to get a lot of people's attention by assuming such a risk. Now, if they have a method of converting those Bitcoins directly into cash then I don't think they are assuming much risk. While I commend TigerDirect for helping Bitcoin to continue to gain legitimacy (and probably other cryptocurrencies as a side effect), they made a grave mistake on their own website describing Bitcoin. And frankly, it assumes that Bitcoin's computational capabilities and number crunching is actually accomplishing something, but it really doesn't. TigerDirect's post states, "Bitcoin miners run specific software on their computers to help collectively solve very large and complex problems. Much like "SETI at Home" or "Folding at Home"." The problem with this is that SETI and F@H both actually accomplish a beneficial task for humanity or at least attempt to do so through the distributed computing of incredibly complicated deep space signal or protein folding problems. TigerDirect's QR Code for Bitcoin It really bothers me every time that I bring up Bitcoin mining when people ask me what exactly is being done with all of that computational power. And the truth is, nothing other than waste electricity (which adds to the fundamental value of any cryptocurrency). I asked myself this question during the early days of Bitcoin mining and it was one of the reasons why I simply didn't partake. Obviously, this was a foolish decision considering that Bitcoins are now worth in the hundreds of dollars per coin. And at the time I was exploring Bitcoin mining they were relatively easy to obtain but they were incredibly inexpensive and the price didn't justify the electricity consumption and the lack of any benefit to humanity. I've happily done Folding at Home (F@H) in the past with absolutely no monetary gain but still enjoyed donating my computing capacity and paying a bit for the electricity. Heck, if anything, these projects should introduce their own crytocurrencies that pay people with 'coins' for their work so that there is some intrinsic value to society in the coins. Not to mention the fact that their workloads can vary and some workloads can be paid out with a single coin and others with multiple coins. Anyways, cryptocurrencies have hit certain snags, but they also continue to pick up momentum. Even Airbnb's CEO was contemplating publicly on Twitter whether or not Airbnb should accept Bitcoin as a form of payment. Related articles:

These are Germans. They are logical. Based on the naming of the rest of the series, the F30 Coupe/Convertible should be the 4 Series, including M4. Don't worry, the M3 may live on, as a sedan! This is long overdue in my opinion. Should we name the 6 Series the 5 Series Coupe instead? If you are going to use alphanumerics nomenclature, make them so that they actually follow a formula. It is bad enough the last two numbers are now nominal displacement and they do not designate body style or drive train type any longer with letters. I'm sure everyone will welcome the 2 Series since the next 1 Series will be FWD. Rename the 1 Series M Coupe the M1 while you are at it. Who cares about a sub-par 70s supercar. I don't, because my Sedan will eat it for lunch. Good post ... you are totally on the right way. I think the only problem was that this descision comes three 3er generations too late ... the E30 comes only in Sedan (2- and 4-door!), Touring and Convertible forms ... so many forgot that the M3 starts as 2-door sedan. With the E36 the problems started, because they named the 2-door 3er "Coupe" and created an M3 Coupe ... so that many people think that M3 and coupe are the same ... but this is not the real history. The only logical descision could be to bring an F30 M Sedan and name this M3 ... and the M3-lable only come back to its origins ... and correct the E36 mistake and name all coupes and convertibles 4er and their M models M4 This is the only alternative to leave all undone ... all other choises (ala 4er M3!) are BS!

The first downloadable content pack for State of Decay, entitled Breakdown, will be released on Xbox 360 and PC on November 29, developer Undead Labs has announced. The DLC will be priced at $6.99 on both platforms. Details on what it consists of have been slowly coming out since its major component -- a sandbox mode -- was confirmed in July. The sandbox mode is joined by additional difficulty levels and new weapons, playable characters, and Achievements. In announcing early last month that the game had sold one million units, Undead promised news on the DLC would be coming soon after. Details on sandbox mode were published on Undead's website which explained how its difficulty ramps up over time. For starters, fast zombies are encountered more often and fewer vehicles are available for players to get around in. An FAQ posted on the developer's forums further outlined how the progression of sandbox mode works, including what players are allowed to take from one "town" to the next. Coinciding with the launch of the DLC on November 29 is the release of the game's fourth title update. That consists of bug fixes and the new loot system which has been said to be "designed to make scavenging fairer and more consistent across every player's experience." State of Decay was released on Xbox Live Arcade in June and was followed by a release on Steam (as an Early Access game) in September. Despite a variety of technical issues, it earned an 8.9 in IGN's review. blog comments powered by Disqus Become a fan of IGN Game Details Published by: Microsoft Game Studios Developed by: Undead Labs Genre: Action Release Date: United States: September 20, 2013 UK: September 20, 2013 Australia: September 20, 2013 Also Available On: Xbox 360 Also known as: Class 3

My gut feeling is UPDATEIFCOPY and read-write-locks >(which is essentially what you're proposing) will make for some odd, >hard-to-track down, errors. The problem is with this idea of UPDATEIFCOPY which is borrowed from numarray and which users over there seem to like. It just seems to me that if an array is going to be "automatically" copied back to another array (this is currently done in numarray), then the array-to-be-copied to needs to be flagged read-only until the copy is complete. Then, an error will be raised whenever the users tries to do something that would cause "hard-to-track-down" bugs (like write to an array that is going to be clobbered by a copy-back). If the UPDATEIFCOPY is only used for C-extensions where you need to get a nice array from a potentially "bad" one (e.g. contiguous from discontiguous) and the thinking is that you would not be using the original one while you played with the copy. But, if the C-extension calls arbitrary code (as is sometimes done), then this is not guaranteed. So, I think, if you are going to have UPDATEIFCOPY, you need to set the original array readonly until the copy is complete. >> b) having X.flat return an update-if-copy array (with X flagged >>as readonly while a reference to X.flat exists) Yeah, I don't like this anymore either. I like X.flatten() better than X.ravel() too. More information about the Numpy-discussion mailing list
4	News Home Manchester United tables improved bid of $50 million for Cesc Fabregas Fabregas celebrates scoring against Villareal Back to England? Cesc Fabregas is wanted by Manchester United manager David Moyes. AFP: Lluis Gene Manchester United manager David Moyes has stepped up his pursuit of Cesc Fabregas after making a second bid for the Barcelona midfielder. Last Monday the club confirmed it had made an initial approach for the former Arsenal man, but that offer - believed to have been around $41.85 million - was swiftly rejected by the Spanish champions. Moyes is determined to do everything he can to lure Fabregas back to the Premier League as he seeks a marquee signing to mark his arrival at Old Trafford. And the former Everton manager, appointed as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor at the end of last season, said at a press conference in Japan that an improved offer has now been lodged. United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward returned to England ahead of schedule last Wednesday to lead the Fabregas negotiations, and Moyes said: "As I understand it, Ed had a response (to the first offer). "We have made a second offer but Ed is dealing with it rather than me." Other players on Moyes' radar Moyes has yet to bring in a major signing, with his only deal so far the capture of Uruguay Under-20 star Guillermo Varela. But, with reports from Spain suggesting Barca will not make a decision on Fabregas until they appoint a successor to cancer-stricken coach Tito Vilanova, Moyes acknowledged there may come a time when he has to turn to other targets. "I think a point does come," said Moyes. "But when you are interested in good players you want to give it every opportunity to materialise. "I will hope things will continue to move forward. "At this moment in time I can only tell you Ed Woodward is working hard to try and make the deals happen. We hope some of them will fall into place shortly." Moyes has also been linked with moves for Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo and Tottenham winger Gareth Bale, plus raiding his old club Everton for Leighton Baines and Marouane Fellaini. So far though he has been frustrated, with new Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti making it clear he does not expect Ronaldo to rejoin United. And Moyes, who is also fighting to persuade Wayne Rooney to snub advances from Chelsea, admitted he can understand why some fans are nervous about the lack of fresh faces as the champions gear up for the first season of the post-Ferguson era. "I can understand that feeling," he said. "But there have been quite a few changes. Other managers have changed their clubs too and everybody thought this might be the summer when transfers are done later in the month. "That was always the thought I had when I came into the club.
