The cap on the damaged oil well captured 11,000 barrels of oil in the last 24 hours, U.S. Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen said Monday, adding that years needed to restore environments and habitats in the polluted waters.
"We have gone from 6,000 to 11,000," Allen said in a White House briefing, and BP was "trying to increase that production rate, close the venting valves and move to a greater capacity."
Allen, who is overseeing the U.S. government's response to the huge Gulf of Mexico oil spill says BP is anticipating moving another ship into the Gulf area to help move the collected oil, adding that though BP is making progress, it's too early for celebration.
Allen also said even after the well is capped, the United States will be dealing with a spill for another four to six weeks. He acknowledged that the full cleanup would take much longer.
"Dealing with the oil spill on the surface will go on for a couple of months. Long term issues of restoring environments and habitats and stuff will be years."
According to Allen, about 120 linear miles of U.S. coast line have been affected by the oil spill.

As I’m sure many of you heard, a couple weeks ago Google introduced a new tool to disavow links. This means you can let Google know what links you don’t want/didn’t request and hopefully they will no longer be “counted” against you.
The tool itself if really easy to use. But Google doesn’t want you to think that everyone should rush to use it right away. Google has been very clear that they consider this an advanced tool for “Power Users” and not something that everyone needs. In other words: people should be careful messing around with it.
Here are some key points that you should consider:
Google considers your disavow submission “a very strong suggestion” but as always with Google, they may not do exactly what you want them to.
It is important that you determine which links are bad – you don’t want to accidentally remove links that are valuable to you. If you have to “reavow” links it takes even longer and the link could lose some of its initial value
Disavowed links are submitted via a file that you | upload to Google. There is only one file per domain name, so if you have multiple people managing your domain name, be very careful that only one file is used or you could wind up messing up links that you’ve already disavowed.

LIMA, Peru -- Prime Minister Luis Alva Castro has resigned, intensifying a political rivalry with President Alan Garcia and plunging Peru`s center-left government into crisis.
All 16 Cabinet ministers offered their resignations to Garcia to allow for a Cabinet reshuffle following Alva Castro`s decision late Monday, Foreign Minister Allan Wagner said Tuesday.
Garcia, 38, did not immediately name a successor to Alva Castro or say whether he would accept resignations of the other ministers.
The Cabinet crisis brought to a head a growing conflict between Garcia and Alva Castro, a chief rival in his ruling American Popular Revolutionary Alliance, or APRA, party.
Alva Castro is widely seen as an ambitious leader jockeying within the ruling party for a presidential nomination for 1990 elections.
Under the constitution, Garcia cannot seek immediate re-election.
The Cabinet ministers were obliged to resign when informed of Alva Castro`s decision to step down, Wagner said in a radio interview.
``When there is a change in the Council of Ministers, the new prime minister along with the president decide on the new Cabinet,`` he | said.

Drug used to treat leukemia is in critically short supply.
Cancer patients are facing a critical nationwide shortage of a chemotherapy drug called Cytarabine.
Oncologists say they can successfully treat about 40-percent of patients with acute myeloid leukemia with Cytarabine when they combine it with other drugs.
Without it, they say the cure rate is zero.
"The shortages of Cytarabine have in my opinion affected life and death situations in the United States over the past six months," says Dr. Hagop Kantarjian of the MD Anderson Cancer Center.
The Food and Drug Administration says the shortage has been so severe that there were several weeks earlier this year when there literally wasn't any Cytarabine in production.
"There were committees that had to make decisions to give the drug to one patient over another," says Dr. Kantar | jian.
The three U.S. Companies that make the drug have cited manufacturing issues and have had to recall some of the medicine because of crystallization in the product.
Cytarabine is a generic drug and some experts point out it's uncommon for more profitable brand name drugs to be in short supply.
According to the FDA those companies are slowly resuming production.

Inhibitory Processes in Attention, Memory and LanguageBy
- Dale Dagenbach
- Thomas Carr
The book identifies how excitory and inhibitory messages in the human nervous system combine and coordinate to affect attention, cognition, memory and language. Communication within the nervous system involves the excitation and inhibition of neurons. How these processes interact to affect cognition and behavioural performance has been an area of ongoing investigation that is once again at the forefront | of cognitive research. This volume brings together cognitive psychologists and neuroscientists to identify the neural evidence for inhibitory mechanisms in cognitive processing and discusses how these inhibitory mechanisms subsequently affect cognition and behaviour.

Ocean Yachts mounts a big, standard Shakespeare VHF antenna on the starboard flying bridge cowling of the new 42 Super Sport, and when folded down to accommodate bridges and other low-slung obstacles, the darn thing hangs over the transom a good ways and tends to slightly complicate close-quarters maneuvering. Not that I’m complaining. Extra antenna altitude is generally good since it extends radio range, a biggie on vessels built to fish well offshore. But adding a five-foot skewer to the rear of a 42-footer when wiggle room forward is cut short by a bristling array of pulpits certainly puts a telling, if exciting, finishing touch to a sea trial.
Our Super Sport performed admirably, though. In fact, with Ed Morris of Florida Yacht Sales, Ocean’s dealer in St. Petersburg, Florida, relaxing in the copilot’s seat, which he’d rotated aft to watchdog the antenna, I smoothly twin-screwed the 42 in the little basin behind the dealership’s offices and backed her into her slip with about as much fanfare as a yawn would warrant | .
Two factors contributed to this.

Taylor School at Mississippi College Develops Talented Musicians and Artists
July 27, 2012
Nia Reeves enjoys playing the piano seven days a week after discovering her passion at the Taylor School.
Entering Mississippi College’s community arts program eighteen months ago, Reeves, was clueless about the keyboards. “She had no knowledge – she couldn’t play the piano at all,” says her mother, Carmen Littles. “Now the piano has become her love. This is giving her the ability to grow musically.”
A 12-year-old from Byram, Nia learned to play contemporary and classical music under the guidance of Taylor School Director Michael Rushing. The seventh grader was among 50 students attending the five-year-old school during the spring. Students continue to sign up for fall classes beginning in late August.
With access to facilities of the Departments of Art and Music at Mississippi College, the Taylor School seeks to promote artistic development and spark a lifetime of enjoyment for students of all ages. The | Taylor School is named after MC professor Ralph Taylor, who retired from the Department of Music in 1999 after a distinguished 43-year career.
The Taylor School includes studio space, practice rooms, two 7’ Steinway grand pianos, music and art technology laboratories, and art studios on the Clinton campus. Lessons and classes are offered on the Clinton campus and at the Christian university’s Flowood Center.

a year when a draft is in operation, and whose birthday draws
a low lottery number, will probably receive a draft notice.

OTTAWA -- The NHL and NHL Players' Association appear to be tip-toeing into negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement.
Gary Bettman and Donald Fehr are scheduled to meet one another next week, but issues pertaining to the CBA are not expected to be on the agenda. Even though both sides targeted the all-star break as a starting point for negotiations, neither seems to be in a hurry to get down to business now that its arrived.

Well I figured that i should try and give at least ONE of my reserve club teas a try. I figure if i can hit one a week, then each month i’ll actually get around to trying all 4 that i receive.

So i’m 98% certain i’ve never had a sheng before. I’m also fairly certain that my gaiwan skills can use a little honing. However, practice makes perfect!

Turns out, my German handwriting is even worse!
On Saturday, I attended the Tazewell County (IL) Genealogical Society fall workshop, where Carol Whitton presented four great lectures. Truth be told, I was strictly in it for the two lectures on German research: Using and Understanding the German Gazetteer and Reading German Church Records.
Both of the German lectures were excellent and gave me some motivation to dive further into my German roots (more on that in another post). In the church record presentation, Carol introduced us to the old German Sütterlin script, which has not been taught since World War II.

Dual nationality in the light of Constitution... By Shahid
09 July, 2012
The government has decided to amend the Constitution to allow dual nationality holders to hold public office. Dual nationality is not an issue; holding public office by individuals who have dual citizenship is. The majority of Pakistanis who have acquired citizenship of foreign countries are industrious, honest and upright citizens who are living abroad simply to build a better future for their families. They work long and hard hours, often in hostile environments, and send foreign exchange to Pakistan. These individuals are not the problem. They are Pakistan's pride.
The devious, sinister and corrupt nationals who have fled abroad and obtained refuge in foreign lands are the real problem. They are the ones who have exploited the country, have ill-gotten, illegal funds and are, in many cases, beholden to forces that are hostile to Pakistan.

Yale Heavyweight Crews Head to Eastern Sprints

Yale crews will line up against Ivy rivals and the rest of the EARC to determine Ivy League titles, EARC titles and who advances to the IRA Regatta. Rankings going into the event put both the varsity and second varsity in 9th, while the freshman eight is in third and the third varsity is in fourth. Rankings based on the season's performances against opposing crews create a seeding for the event that determines preliminary heats.
In past EARC Sprints, Yale has proven it can overcome rankings to perform well. Last year, Yale's varsity eight went to Eastern Sprints ranked No. 10 out of 18 crews competing for gold. It left with a solid fourth-place finish in the grand final.
This year the No. 9 varsity will race in the third preliminary heat at 11:36 a.m. in lane three. It will face No. 3 Brown, No. 4 Cornell, No. 10 MIT, No. | 15 Dartmouth and No. 16 Georgetown. The top two finishers advance to the grand final.

Millionaires Defend the Estate Tax

Several of the millionaires were featured at a news conference today organized by United for a Fair Economy. They are members of the Responsible Wealth coalition, and the statement they issued today calls for setting the estate tax threshold at $2 million for individuals and $4 million for couples. The current threshold is set at $10 million by a law that expires at the end of the year.
“We believe it is right to have a significant tax on large estates when they are passed on to the next generation. We believe it is right morally and economically, and that an estate tax promotes democracy by slowing the concentration of wealth and power,” the statement reads.
This runs counter to a continuing movement by conservatives to eliminate the estate tax altogether, raise the | ceiling so high that only a few ultra-rich individuals have to pay it, or set the tax rate at a level that it is not consequential to the people required to pay it.
One of the more eloquent defenses of the estate tax was delivered by Abigail Disney, a filmmaker whose grandfather was the brother of Walt Disney and co-founder of the Disney entertainment empire.

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a design pattern which is composed of loosely coupled, discoverable, reusable, inter-operable platform agnostic services in which each of these services follow a well defined standard. Each of these services can be bound or unbound at any time and as needed. [Jamil08]However, as defined, SOA has a loosely-coupled feature, which makes SOA open to the challenges of security. It means that SOA must meet several requirements. The main requirements are as follows[Candolin07]: service discovery, service authentication, user authentication, access control, confidentiality, integrity, availability, and privacy. To ensure security in a loosely-coupled SOA environment, the open standards communities that created Web services developed a number of security standards for Web services which is one of the most active and widely adopted implementation of SOA. Figure 1 depicts a notional reference model for Web services security standards. This reference model maps the different standards to the different functional layers of | a typical Web service implementation.
As described above, in the Web Services Security Stack the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) and the eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) are the standard for access control which means that when the service is requested by a user the service must enforce the specified security policy | [

Applying spirituality to every day life
Humanity is undergoing a powerful transformation, exactly at the same time the very fabric of society is unraveling. The only viable way forwards is to find a way of living that is totally aligned with who we are. If we can become increasingly authentic in how we are being, we will find every step we take is miraculously supported by the benevolent organising energy of the universe. That is the purpose of our level 2 course: it provides a powerful process - a'spiritual compass' - which we call "openway". When applied in day-to-day living, it can help break through limiting behaviours and unveil profound gifts of beingness leading to a blessed and magical life...
"openway" - your spiritual compass
Some people see spiritual work as sometimes being quite detached from day-to-day reality, with it's deadlines, responsibilities and constraints. It's hard to believe that we could be guided positively and benevolently through every single choice that faces us. The hand of benevolence is present through every moment, both the nitty gritty of daily living plus the life changing big decisions we are confronted with. But | how do we understand and follow it?
This is why we felt compelled to develop "openway" as a spiritual compass for walking the path in day-to-day life. It's a deeply insightful approach to 'dissecting the moment' and understanding the different and often conflicting influences we're being continually subjected to.

The Dangers of Red Meat Include Bowel Cancer
Research showing the dangers of red meat are many, and they date back to the late 1990s. The most serious danger is the association between red meat and cancer. Diabetes has also been linked to red meat consumption.
Studies have linked pancreatic cancer in men to red meat consumption. A higher risk of developing breast cancer in women has been linked to high intakes of red meat. Other cancers associated with red meat are: lung, colorectal, liver, and esophageal.
Colorectal or colon cancer is a cancer of | the large bowel.
I should add a caveat at the outset concerning the dangers of red meat. The dangers apply only to factory- farmed meat.
The cancer dangers don't just apply to red meat however. Processed meats such as luncheon meats (salami, bologna, pastrami, etc.), sausages, bacon, ham, and hot dogs pose cancer risks too.

The destruction of ancient Muslim shrines in Timbuktu since July has mirrored the dynamiting of the giant Buddha statues Bamiyan in 2001. Both senseless acts were carried out by militants cloaked in an extremist version of Islam - the Taliban in Afghanistan and Ansar Dine in Mali. Both also were omens that such groups will export terrorist acts abroad if allowed to flourish in lawless areas.
In Afghanistan, it was the Taliban, who will probably reclaim at least part of their power following 12 years of an aimless | war. In northern Mali, the disintegration of state control was much more recent, and should still be reversible. But whereas most of the Taliban have denounced Al Qaeda, northern Mali is in the grip of groups that claim links to its offshoot in the Maghreb.

"Bart's Dog Gets An F" S2 / E16
- B- Community Grade
As cartoon dogs go, Santa’s Little Helper is spectacularly unspectacular. In a realm of aggressively anthropomorphic canines, some of whom, admittedly, have strong speech impediments, he doesn’t talk or wisecrack or engage in shenanigans. His abilities and powers begin and end with masticating, defecating, and regular napping. You know, just like a real dog.
Consequently, episodes devoted to Santa’s Little Helper tend to be a little on the sleepy side, even the Simpsons Christmas special that launched the series. After back-to-back classics in “Principal Charming” and “O Brother Where Art | Thou,” both of which nurse an almost Alexander The Great-level of ambition, the show settles into a homey little groove with “Bart’s Dog Gets an F”.
It’s an episode that would feel modest even in the show’s first season but feels almost perversely small scale for the show’s second season, an annum where the show really started to stretch out and angle nakedly for greatness. | [

“I have a fart machine that I usually bring with me. I was at a bar once, going down toward the john, and these two guys were in a confrontation and things were getting a little dicey. As I got in between the two of them, I said, “Where’s the john? Is it straight back there?” Fffffhpppppffffft. Well, these guys look at each other and then look at me, and they both start laughing.

Iran in talks with UK to resume consular ties: Qashqavi

A Scottish cardinal who had earlier challenged allegations of sexual impropriety -- claims that once again shined an international spotlight on alleged sexual abuse involving Roman Catholic clergy -- reversed course Sunday and apologized.

He has been dogged by allegations he abused four men studying to be priests in the 1980s.
"In recent days certain | allegations which have been made against me have become public. Initially, their anonymous and non-specific nature led me to contest them," O'Brien said.

[erlang-questions] Design methodology going from Object oriented to functional programming?
Tue Oct 23 04:41:26 CEST 2007
Actually, at the level you are describing, there should be no difference
between FP and OOP.
While OOP definitely emphasize data and relations, it is not the only
paradigm that does so - and given your background you should be experienced
with the relational paradigm, which has even heavier emphasis on data and
relations, but is not OOP.
To leverage your knowledge on relations - you can pretend sql queries are
functions, i.e. select is a function, update is a function, and insert is a
function. Then instead of writing
insert (object) - which looks a lot like the sql query insert into table...
That's it. In the | Java style OOP the head of the statement is an object,
and in FP the head of the statement is a function name. But in either case
you need to model the same world.
An extremely crude way of thinking about FP is that it decouples the data
from the function (or vice versa, that OOP couples functions and data).
That means some facilities that you've taken for granted in OOP, such as
inheritance, polymorphism, etc., will no longer be available. But FP have a
different approaches to address these problems, and that's | [

The monster storm that tore a 14-mile path of destruction through the Big Apple Thursday spawned a pair of tornadoes and a massive burst of straight-line winds that topped out at 125 mph, meteorologists confirmed last night.
About 1,000 trees were uprooted by the vicious weather system that left battered residents in large swaths of Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island struggling yesterday to clean streets littered with crushed cars, building debris and fallen tree limbs.

OTTAWA -- "I have as orders tonight that black people who aren't regulars here can't come into the bar," a bouncer at a bar tells a group of black men.
The video showing the white man barring the black customers from Le Fou du Roi bar in Gatineau, across the river from Ottawa, ignited a firestorm when it was posted to social media last week.
But one of the bar's owners said the men were turned away at the door last Friday because of several recent brawls between ethnic minorities.
The woman who recorded the video, and who wishes to remain anonymous, said the move was utter discrimination.
"I would call this racism, discrimination, an injustice," the woman told QMI Agency. "We're people just like everyone else."
But bar co-owner Brigitte Van Houtte said their bouncers have been more vigilant ever since a major brawl broke out three weeks ago.
The video shows the bouncer calmly explaining to the four black men why they wouldn't be getting in.
Shortly after, bar employees called police to intervene | .
But when the group complained they were being discriminated against, officers said they were powerless to help because the bar was privately owned.
