(3 Posts)
BotBotticelli Mon 06-May-13 15:11:36
My DS is now 5months old but I swear he did something similar to this a few weeks ago when he was around 3.5 months. I put him down for a nap late afternoon, and as usual he only slept for about 30 mins. But when he woke up, instead of cooing or gurgling like he normally does, or doing a grumpy cry which says "somebody come and get me", I heard him on the monitor break into a really distinct 'upset cry'....the kind of cry he does very rarely, usually, when something makes him jump, or he is feeling poorly, or if he hears another baby crying (he is a sensitive little flower!).
I just knew it was an upset cry on the monitor so I ran into his room and picked him up, and he had proper tears running down his cheeks (first time I saw proper tears), and was really gaspoing for breath like when someone is properly terrified. It took abou 10 mins to calm him and for his breathing to get back to normal which was very worrying. I was half in mind to call an ambulance, cos I had never heard him breathe like that before, but something about the way he was crying made me think he was upset, rather than in pain/struggling to breathe if you see what I mean.
Anyway, i just sat and rocked him/sung a soft song for around 10 mins till he calmed down. But he was nervy and jumpy all evening. I definitely think he had some kind of night terror. Hopefully it won't happen again - hope the same for your LO, OP.

DS1 started having night terrors when he was about 4 or 5 months old. Usually if overtired, and normally about an hour or so after he had gone to sleep.
He would be screaming with his eyes open, but not seeing us. He would lay flat on his back. When he was picked up he would be rigid but not responding to any of our consoling. The first time it happened he woke up when DH ran with him out of the front door to the GP who lived next door. I called an ambulance as we were told to be extra vigilant for meningitis symptoms given his group b strep infection at birth.
3 times this happened with trips to hospital with a wide awake confused baby. We got a bit more used to it, and on occasion asked the doctor next door to come over and see it. He was convinced it was night terrors and had never seen it in such a young baby.
We were referred to a paediatrician who diagnosed some fancy word for a type of night terrors. We were advised not to wake him but I would lift him from his cot and lay on the bed with him until he stopped. It's not something he would remember or really be aware of, so it's harder for the parent i think.
He grew out of it around 1 year old.

Looking for opinions/experience of terrors in your LO's of similar age...
This afternoon I put DS down for a nap. He fought it but I eventually got him off to sleep & put him down. As he'd got overtired I did half expect him to wake after less than an hr (I find his sleep is crapper if he goes down overtired).
What I didn't expect was him crying but quite suddenly & it escalated VERY quickly to full on loud crying with tears. He was beside himself & inconsolable. I tried his dummy but he didn't want to know & I thought maybe he was hungry (even though it wasn't his hungry cry) but when I put my pinky in his mouth he went between not wanting to know to being like was going to suck but he couldn't suck properly confused.
The scariest thing though was, in attempt to calm him, I laid him down on the change table (he quite likes it there) he pretty much stopped crying suddenly & got this weird almost scared look on his face & his left eye was twitching. I freaked out thinking he was having some sort of fit! So I quickly scooped him up & the crying resumed. This happened once more on our bed & I frantically called my husband thinking he was really sick & we were going to have to go to A&E. I passed him to my DH (who was outside on our decking) & my DS shortly after calmed down.
We then decided to feed him & he was ok the rest of the day.
This really upset me as he was SO inconsolable! And the eye twitching was scary. I know him really quite well & this was very out of character for him. The only time he cries big time is when he's hungry but this was a whole other level of crying & he had only been fed 6oz barely 2hrs previous. I know his hungry behaviour & this just wasn't it - I just instinctively know, as his cries nearly broke my heart.
So wtf was it??! I did a bit if googling & stumbled upon night terrors but he seems very young. He did seem awake but perhaps not & maybe the change to my DH snapped him out of it? Or was it Gas?? Teething?? Other??

Spurious associations due to confounding factors are an often cited and intensely debated concern for genetic association studies. Great attention has been focused upon the specific threat of confounding due to population stratification. This emphasis has spurred the development of many statistical genetic methods to detect and correct for the potentially confounding effects of admixture. Unfortunately, this emphasis on admixture has led some authors to suggest that if ethnically homogenous populations are used, spurious associations are unlikely to occur. We show that under small and realistic degrees of assortative mating over time, spurious associations arise even in ethnically homogeneous populations. We demonstrate that structured association and genomic control tests can, under certain conditions, correct for these spurious associations. We conclude that investigators should not assume spurious associations will not occur in association studies using ethnically homogenous populations and recommend the use of genomic control methods and/or family-based association tests within genetic association studies.

Sleep to remember.
Author information

Recently, compelling evidence has accumulated that links sleep to learning and memory. Sleep has been identified as a state that optimizes the consolidation of newly acquired information in memory. Consolidation is an active process that is presumed to rely on the covert reactivation and reorganization of newly encoded representations. Hippocampus-dependent memories benefit primarily from slow-wave sleep (SWS), whereas memories not depending on the hippocampus show greater gains over periods containing high amounts of rapid eye movement sleep. One way sleep does this is by establishing different patterns of neurotransmitters and neurohormone secretion between sleep stages. Another central role for consolidating memories is played by the slow oscillation, that is, the oscillating field potential change dominating SWS. The emergence of slow oscillations in neocortical networks depends on the prior use of these networks for encoding of information. Via efferent pathways, they synchronize the occurrence of sharp wave ripples accompanying memory reactivations in the hippocampus with thalamocortical spindle activity. Thus, hippocampal memories are fed back into neocortical networks at a time when these networks are depolarized and, because of concurrent spindle activity, can most sensitively react to these inputs with plastic changes underlying the formation of long-term memory representations.

Functional importance of ventricular enlargement and cortical atrophy in healthy subjects and alcoholics as assessed with PET, MR imaging, and neuropsychologic testing.
Author information
• Medical Department, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973.
The authors assessed the relationship between ventricular enlargement, cortical atrophy, regional brain glucose metabolism, and neuropsychologic performance in 10 alcoholics and 10 control subjects. Regional brain glucose metabolism was measured with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and positron emission tomography (PET). Cortical atrophy and ventricular size were evaluated quantitatively with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Alcoholics had decreased brain glucose metabolism and more cortical atrophy but did not have significantly greater ventricular size than did control subjects. The degree of ventricular enlargement and of cortical atrophy was associated with decreased metabolism predominantly in the frontal cortices and subcortical structures in both alcoholics and control subjects. There were no significant correlations between neuropsychologic performance and MR imaging structural changes, whereas various subtest scores were significantly correlated with frontal lobe metabolism. These data show that F-18 FDG PET is a sensitive technique for detecting early functional changes in the brain due to alcohol and/or aging before structural changes can be detected with MR imaging.

still got my money on Obama, but have to rely on Yanks to do the right thing to get my way. will be savagely gloating when his 2nd term is announced.
just a thought; if Obama is supposed to be the worst president ever, if Republicans are to be believed, then why is Romney sh*tt*ng bricks, desperately trying to eek out a couple more votes here and there. he could just relax and trust his fellow Americans.
i understand Obama's desperation; please no, not the lunatic GOP candidate. i'll jump through hoops to stop that disaster.
but why doesn't Romney just sit back and watch his land slide victory against the anti-American scourge of democracy that is Obama?

Readers in the United States might be interested to know that, as at every Presidential Election since it became an issue, Republican Party officials appear regularly on the British broadcast media to denounce as "scaremongering" the slightest suggestion that a Republican President would seek to limit abortion in any way whatever. Roe v Wade is "precedent", and that is just that. Such is the official, stated view of the GOP, as such.
Does that sit uneasily with Romney's Mormon bishopric? Not really. Mormons seem to be a liberalising force even within the Republican Party, and at least a large proportion of them are clearly Democrats, anyway. Harry Reid is in fact quite conservative compared with Romney, who enacted in Massachusetts the taxpayer-funded abortion that Obama did not enact nationwide, and who through Bain Capital was and remains a personal profiteer from abortion.
Romney's Mormonism would be a major issue for Evangelicals if they thought for one moment that he might win. That it isn't proves conclusively that they don't, not even for one moment. There will soon be more Mormons than (mostly very secular) Jews in the United States. Half the population of Las Vegas, sending all those tithes back across state lines to Salt Lake City, meets the people who control Hollywood and the pornography industry.
Many, perhaps most, of Romney's foreign policy advisers are dual American-Israeli citizens. If Nile Gardiner is still a British passport-holder, then one really does have to wonder both why he still wants one and why we still let him have one, as well as pointing out that, as a former Thatcher staffer, he would be arrested if he ever returned to this country, as at least an accessory to one or both of mass murder at Hillsborough and mass sexual abuse of children all over the place; policy on East Asia and elsewhere would seem to be rather informed by Gardiner's Unificationism, just as Mormonism, no less than big business, lies behind the desire to give "Lamanites" unhindered entry to the United States.
And then there is Walid Phares, erstwhile militia commander in the Lebanese Forces, and adherent to its irredentist faction which refused to follow General Aoun into the present coalition, instead participating, like the Phalange, in the Salafi-led alliance on behalf of which Israel, with her cheerful Salafi parliamentarians and cities and with her Sharia law for anyone born into certain ethnic minorities, is co-operating with Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia in attempting to stage a putsch in Lebanon. Doubtless to be joined by Romney's America in that mercifully improbable event.
From 1980s Afghanistan to Bosnia, Kosovo, Chechnya, Xinjiang, Turkey, Iraq, Libya, Tunisia, putatively Syria, in the form of Jundullah in relation to Iran, and now also Lebanon, with a beady eye needing to be kept on Egypt: there is no closer, nor any more ruthless or more vicious, military partnership on earth than that between the neoconservatives and the Wahhabi and Salafi. Under Romney, the neocons would be back with a vengeance, subsuming those traitors to Christian Lebanon who in any case always modelled themselves on the European Fascism of the 1930s and adhered, as they still do, to the bizarre racial theory of Phoenicianism which, among much else, accounted for their violent hostility towards the ancient indigenous Christians further south. One such racist terrorist godfather, now in league with the Salafi while pretending on Fox to be their blood enemy, is Walid Phares. He is the Co-Chairman of the Middle East Advisory Group to Mitt Romney.
Thank God that it is not going to happen.

NPR has learned some of the details of sexual harassment allegations surrounding GOP candidate Herman Cain. It seems that the alleged inappropriate behavior involving female subordinates went beyond verbal. Cain says the accusations are false, a characterizations that one of the woman's lawyers disputes.
Joining us is NPR's Liz Halloran. And, Liz, from the time the story broke four days ago, there have been few specifics as to what Mr. Cain supposedly did. What have you found out?
LIZ HALLORAN, BYLINE: Well, Robert, as this story has played out this week, we've been gathering details, talking to people who have had direct knowledge of the harassment accusations at the time they were made. That would be in the late-1990s, when Mr. Cain ran the restaurant lobbying group, which is based here in D.C. He ran it for about three years.
Let me tell you what we learned from them. The alleged harassment, according to our sources, was persisent. It was usually, but not always, verbal in nature, and it involved sexually graphic comments and approaches. Our sources tell us that those were typically made when the women were alone with Mr. Cain in work situations. We don't have an incident-by-incident accounting but this is how the nature of the harassment has been characterized to us.
SIEGEL: Now, what you found out, this information concerns two different women who actually received cash agreements from the National Restaurant Association after they brought these charges, but Mr. Cain denies that he ever harassed anyone.
HALLORAN: Correct. First of all, he flatly denied that he engaged in harassment. And he's characterized the incidents that led to the complaints as benign and he's also characterized the women as perhaps not understanding his brand of humor. But what's also interesting is that the two women who made these complaints in 1999 did so independently. They did not know that the other had made a complaint.
And as these complaints moved through, they both received settlements. One received a settlement reportedly of about $35,000. The other woman received a settlement reportedly in the range of $45,000. Now, one of the things we also learned is that at least one of the women reported the alleged harassment to her supervisor. Her supervisor ran it up the chain to human resources and the behavior allegedly did not stop.
SIEGEL: Do we know how junior or how senior these women were in the hierarchy of the restaurant association?
HALLORAN: From what we understand, one of them was a junior member of the staff, potentially right out or shortly out of college. And the other woman is a longtime Washington professional, worked in the federal government in federal positions and does so now, and was in a professional position at the lobbying group.
SIEGEL: One of the questions surrounding these women is that their agreements evidently included confidentiality clauses. Does that mean that they're still not going to go public or not seeking to even go public with their stories?
HALLORAN: Well, they have not gone public, despite all of the media attention this week. And what it happening tomorrow is one of the women's lawyers is asking the association to allow her to be released from that confidentiality agreement, so that if she decides to make a statement, if she decides to go public, she can. Her lawyer has indicated to me that she has no intention of going public. She does not want to, she doesn't want to be part of a Washington scandal. So, right now, we don't anticipate that she will go public tomorrow.
SIEGEL: Okay, thank you, Liz.
HALLORAN: Thanks, Robert.
SIEGEL: That's NPR's Liz Halloran.

And I'm Robert Siegel. The golden age of payphones may have passed, at least payphones as we know them, but in New York City, some companies are trying something new. Reporter Stan Alcorn takes us into the streets.
STAN ALCORN, BYLINE: Mark Thomas is using a payphone, but he isn't paying and, physically, he's not even that close to the phone.
MARK THOMAS: I'd say about 30 feet. I'm bad with distances, though.
ALCORN: He's sitting on a bench on the street in Astoria, Queens, checking email on his NetBook. It's grabbing an internet signal from a military grade antenna on top of a payphone down the block.
THOMAS: It's not the speediest, but you can't complain about free, right?
ALCORN: Part of a pilot project converting New York's payphones into Wi-Fi hotspots launched by the city and payphone operators, in this case, a company called Van Wagner. When Thomas logs on, a new entry appears on the computer of Van Wagner executive Pete Izzo.
PETE IZZO: I can actually click on and look at the actual calls. Well, I call them calls. They're not really calls. The log-ins.
ALCORN: This afternoon, only two people have logged on at Thomas' phone, but Izzo thinks that these numbers could grow into something that could stop payphones' long death spiral. They've gone from approximately two million across the country in the year 2000 to less than a quarter of that today.
IZZO: We see gems in other people's junk.
ALCORN: Izzo sees in payphones a kind of buried treasure, literally.
IZZO: Basically, the conduits under the street, bandwidth and electric, bring magic to the street corner.
ALCORN: Magic that could go beyond just Wi-Fi.
IZZO: Security devices, snifters for the air, cameras. Could they be banking centers some day? Sure, they could.
ALCORN: The city is taking suggestions and encouraging experimentation to make payphones more useful, but this isn't the first time. The first Wi-Fi hotspots at payphones in New York City were launched back in 2003.
Randy Nichols is the president of the APCC, a trade association for payphone operators.
RANDY NICHOLS: People have tried it over the years, but so far, I'm not aware of any that have turned out to be financially successful.
ALCORN: Nichols thinks the main challenge for these would-be payphones of the future is actually paying for them. Tom Keane is the CEO of Jaroth PTS, one of the nation's largest payphone owners. He thinks the solution could be advertising. That's already the case in New York City.
TOM KEANE: That hasn't been a payphone business for a very long time. That's been a media display ad business hidden in a phone booth.
ALCORN: A payphone in New York City typically grosses less than $100 a month from the actual phone calls, but they can make nearly 10 times that much just from the poster-sized ads on the booths' sides. If Wi-Fi hotspots or internet touch screens catch on, Keane thinks they could become advertiser-funded, too, and that could make more than just internet access free, according to payphone operator Pete Izzo.
IZZO: The cost of actually providing a phone call is so low, we hope to be able to give that away, also, some day soon.
ALCORN: The payphone of the future might not be a pay phone at all. For NPR News, I'm Stan Alcorn in New York.

And I'm Melissa Block. More than a year ago, Pakistan's army went into the Swat Valley in the northwest of that country. The army promised to get rid of Taliban militants there. Many Pakistanis thought the military would win in a few weeks, but the war is still going on and the Taliban is stronger than ever. As NPR's Philip Reeves reports, the conflict is taking a nasty turn. In the last two weeks, there has been a spike in the number of corpses dumped in the streets - victims of tit-for-tat assassinations.
PHILIP REEVES: Sometimes it's just one body found lying in the open as the sun rises over the valley. Sometimes it's more. Sometimes the bodies are beheaded. Sometimes they come with a note, threatening death to anyone who moves the corpses before a stated hour. It's not easy for Western journalists to visit Swat. The militants have a strong presence, but you can call people there albeit on a crackling phone line.
Mr. SIUDIN YUSATSA(ph) (Peace Activist, Mingira, Swat Valley): Yeah, yeah, yeah, (unintelligible) please.
REEVES: Siudin Yusatsa is a peace activist in Swat's main city, Mingora. He's heard about the bodies. He says the daily killing is adding to the mood of deep fear.
Mr. YUSATSA: The situation is very much horrible and very much uncertain, and the people are thinking to migrate from this area.
REEVES: Swat Valley is beautiful. Tourists used to come from across the country to relax amid the mountains and apple orchards. Then the Taliban moved in. The militants are led by a rabble-rousing cleric called Mullah Fazlullah, also known as the FM Mullah because he uses radio broadcasts to rally support. Professor Kadeem Hussein(ph) belongs to a think tank studying the conflict in Pakistan's northwest.
Professor KADEEM HUSSEIN: Yeah. Well, I have got a list here of the statistics, and it shows us a few patterns. Civilian killed - 1,250. Security forces, civil servant killed - 289. Militants killed - 77.
REEVES: Hussein's gathered details from media and military reports, itemizing the violence in Swat during 2008.
Professor HUSSEIN: The displaced are 700,000 people. The number of children who are out of school now are 400,000. Now this tells us about the expansion of Fazlullah's influence in Swat, 2008. So it tells us very clearly that Fazlullah is actually winning war in Swat.
REEVES: Pakistani security sources claim some of these figures are exaggerated. Others believe the Pakistani authorities are understating the civilian death toll. They include Bushra Gohar.
Ms. BUSHRA GOHAR (Senior Official, Awami National Party): We are not getting correct assessments of the losses. The devastation is far more, I feel. And also those who've been injured, those who've been maimed, those who've been displaced.
REEVES: Gohar is a senior official in the Awami National Party, or ANP.
Ms. GOHAR: It's on a daily basis that our activists or our elected representatives who were voted in by the people are now being targeted.
REEVES: The ANP sees itself as a secular and progressive party for the Pashtuns. That's the main ethnic group in northwest Pakistan. It was elected to run the provincial government last year, defeating Islamist parties on a promise of negotiating peace. But the militants have set about trying to wipe out the party, literally. Gohar says she knows of at least 50 party officials or their relatives who've been killed in Swat, though she suspects the number is higher. Almost all the ANP's leaders have been forced to flee the area.
Ms. GOHAR: They can't go back to their areas because they know for sure that they'll be killed. Their family members have been killed. Even if they've left their homes, their homes have been destroyed.
REEVES: Many in Swat Valley accuse the Pakistani security services of widespread human rights abuses, saying that this has made the conflict worse. Gohar feels the Pakistani army has let down her party.
Ms. GOHAR: The Awami National Party was expecting an effective, sharp operation from the military. It didn't get that. And instead it appeared as if they were hitting civilian targets. One started wondering whether our own security agencies had the capacity to deal with militancy and insurgency, you know, at that scale.
REEVES: Security sources say the number of bodies dumped and put on display on the streets of Swat over the last several weeks is 36. Nearly half were from the security services. Four were Taliban. That's led to speculation the security forces are retaliating by adopting the Taliban's tactics. However, Pakistani officials suggest the four were killed in revenge by relatives of the Taliban's victims. The picture is getting worse. Kadeem Hussein says in 2007 the Taliban only held a small pocket of territory in Swat. Now, he says, they run Islamic courts, they decide who buys and sells properties, and they've hooked up with other militant networks in Pakistan's tribal belt.
Professor HUSSEIN: Actually, what is happening is that the militants' writ is established in the whole valley.

Tour de France champion Bradley Wiggins says he was shocked by the mountain of evidence against Lance Armstrong after the American was labelled a serial drug cheat by the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).
Wiggins has enjoyed the best year of his career after becoming Britain's first Tour de France winner and then clinching a gold medal at the London Olympics.
But his remarkable achievements are in danger of being overshadowed by the Armstrong scandal.
Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles by USADA and banned from the sport for life after the organisation claimed he orchestrated the most sophisticated doping programme ever seen.
Wiggins insists he was already suspicious about Armstrong, who maintains his innocence, after persistent rumours of drug use, but even so the deluge of evidence against the American came as a surprise.
"It's pretty damning stuff. It is pretty jaw-dropping the amount of people who have testified against him," Wiggins told Sky News yesterday.
"I have been involved in pro cycling for a long time and I realise what it takes to train and win the Tour de France. I'm not surprised by it. I had a good idea what is going on."
Wiggins has no sympathy for the American and admits he is frustrated that Armstrong's behaviour remains the main talking point in cycling at the end of his memorable year.
"My main concern is that I am standing here as the winner of the Tour de France," Wiggins said.
"We are the ones picking these pieces up. For me it is about moving forward and not looking back any more to what happened 10, 15 years ago.
"It always is [frustrating answering questions about drugs cheats]. It is not something which sits easily. Everyone knows where we stand on that, it is about looking forward.
"I don't think that is relevant to what we are doing today. What we are doing today is setting the example for our sport."

AIDS in Botswana
Experts gather next week for the 13th International AIDS Conference. We have a report from a nation with one of the highest HIV/AIDS rates in the world, Botswana from Lindsey Hilsum of Independent Television News.
AIDS in Botswana
The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation provided funding for this project
LINDSEY HILSUM: This is a country where the old bury the young. Two decades ago, Pule funeral parlor dealt with three or four deaths a week. Now it's 20 or more, sons and daughters. AIDS has seeped through Botswana like a poison. It started in the towns, but now it's everywhere; in the rural areas, in the country's biggest village, Molepolole. Here in the graveyard at Molepolole, I can see headstones of people who born in the 60's and 70's, and new, unmarked graves. I'm told there were dozens of funerals here every weekend.
Botswana had such high hopes. The government was going to spend its diamond revenues on ending poverty and developing the rural areas. But now, it's going to have to devote more and more of its budget to hospitals and medicines. The people, meanwhile, spend their money on funerals and tombstones. AIDS is making everyone poorer. Its changed everything.
PRESIDENT FESTUS MOGAE, Botswana: It permeates all our society and everything we do, and therefore, it has to be and it is our preoccupation. It cuts across our efforts in fighting poverty, in stimulating growth, and therefore, it tends to reverse the gains we had made. And therefore, it has to be priority, number one.
LINDSEY HILSUM: Botswana is the world's largest diamond producer. It has the fastest growing economy in Africa. At this diamond cutting plant in Molepolole, ten workers have died of AIDS-related illnesses in the last 18 months. There are plenty more to fill the gap. But employers are beginning to ask, "it is worth training workers who fall ill and die?" The government's considering compulsory AIDS tests for those going on scholarship to study abroad.
PRESIDENT FESTUS MOGAE: Just the other day, we have had to charter a plane from the United States to bring two ill students. We could have built a country primary school with the cost of the charter.
LINDSEY HILSUM: This is what it's like to be poor and live with AIDS in Botswana today. Kezrome Tshipana earns a little from hairdressing for the neighbors, but she and her mother are both sick and can no longer support the children. The day we visited, they had nothing to eat. And they don't understand the concept of HIV/AIDS. It's alien to their way of thinking, their culture.
KEAAROMA TSHIPANA, Daughter: (Translated): I know AIDS exists, but I'm confused because I go to a spiritual healing church, and there they say it's witchcraft. The priest told me that at hospital they will say it's HIV/AIDS, but in fact it's just that those who bewitched me have made it look like AIDS. So it's not that I don't believe it, but this has been done to me to look like AIDS.
DIRANG RAPULA, Mother: (Translated) The traditional doctor helped me. He said it was witchcraft. Straight away he gave me medicine, and immediately I felt better.
LINDSEY HILSUM: The family are helped by a social worker and volunteer carers. The government nurse organizes the volunteers who look after AIDS patients in their homes. The hospital's full. For every one that dies, another two fall sick. Living through this epidemic takes its toll even on those whose job it is to care.
OLEBOGENG TSEDI, Government Nurse: Sometimes you need somebody to talk to, to laugh at. But when you're alone in a house staying far away from your family, what do you do? You sit and cry. For who? For somebody you have seen outside who is sick, or somebody who is suffering, but you can't do anything. You try to help, but at the end of the day...
LINDSEY HILSUM: But on Saturday night in the capital, Gaborone, AIDS seems to be the last thing on anyone's mind. The government message is: Abstain from sex, stick to one partner, use a condom. The truth is dawning slowly. Whatever they do, one-third of young people are going to die. Those who are not infected will survive only if they change their sexual behavior now. AIDS will not wait.

AP Hurricane Mitch damage by country
National Hurricane Center
MapCHARLES KRAUSE: Hurricane Mitch was a storm of biblical proportions, the most destructive natural disaster in Central America's modern history. For five days and five nights, there were torrential rains, flooding, and mudslides. And by the time it was over, Hurricane Mitch had caused extensive damage in Nicaragua, Guatemala, and El Salvador. But it was Honduras -- already the poorest country in Central America, and one of the poorest countries in the world that was hit hardest. Even now, some three weeks later, forensic teams are still searching for bodies buried in the rubble.
Over 6,000 dead.
FloodThe death toll has climbed beyond 6,000, while an even greater number is still missing. In Tegucigalpa, drinking water is scarce because the capital's sewage and water systems were cut and badly damaged. It may be years before they're rebuilt. Meanwhile, the Honduran economy is virtually paralyzed because two-thirds of the country's bridges and much of the highway system were wiped out and will have to be rebuilt. U.S. Ambassador James Creagan.
U.S. AMBASSADOR JAMES CREAGAN: The roads are critical. That's the immediate reconstruction need, and we will be helping to do that. Temporary bridges, fords through streams, that are good until the rainy season next June, and working on the roads themselves. It's amazing that -- you may have seen the North Coast - but there are areas where 30 or 40 kilometers of road have simply disappeared.
CHARLES KRAUSE: Finance Minister Gabriella Nunez says Honduras has been set back 25 years.
CHARLES KRAUSE: Beyond the highways, the bridges and the infrastructure that's been destroyed, fully one-fifth of the Honduran population -- nearly a million four hundred thousand people -- remain homeless. Many of them are still stranded, dependent on helicopters -- and the mercy of international relief agencies --- for their food and water. Others live in makeshift tents along highways near their homes, which are still too damp and caked with mud to reinhabit.
CHARLES KRAUSE: Maria Lopez Moreno told us that relief supplies are being delivered on a regular basis. But food comes in only every other day, and here on the outskirts of La Lima, Honduras, the homeless are forced to use what little money they have to buy drinking water. Elsewhere, the homeless live in schools that've been converted into temporary shelters. Cramped and primitive, the schools feel like refugee camps, and Honduras feels like a country that's lost a war.
Nunez quote
Rebuilding over 200,000 homes.
It's estimated that Honduras will need to rebuild upwards of 200,000 houses, and that much of the money will have to come from international lending institutions like the Inter-American Development in Washington. Over the past month, Enrique Iglesias, the bank's president, has been meeting on an emergency basis with Nunez and the other Central American finance ministers trying to assess their immediate needs and then what it will take to rebuild. Iglesias says he's never seen a natural disaster more destructive than Hurricane Mitch.
CHARLES KRAUSE: Concern about the potential political impact of Hurricane Mitch is based on Central America's history: the Somoza government's failure to rebuild Nicaragua's capital, Managua, after the earthquake there in 1972 led directly to the Sandinista revolution seven years later, and in 1974, three months after the last major hurricane hit Honduras, there was a military coup. So the country's current president, Carlos Flores Facusse, is taking no chances. From the moment Mitch hit, he's been directly involved in virtually every aspect of the relief effort--- visiting shelters for the homeless and meeting important visitors, like International Monetary Fund director Michel Camdessus.
JIM LEHRER: The tragedy in the Central American nation of Honduras and to -
CHARLES KRAUSE: Flores has also used the media effectively to appeal for international sympathy and support. During the first days after the hurricane, there was widespread fear that businessmen would take advantage of food shortages to drive up prices. But the government responded quickly. And now, there's general agreement that Flores has been more effective than many expected handling this first phase of the crisis.
James CreaganJAMES CREAGAN, U.S. Ambassador: We try to think about it in U.S. terms and try to think about dead and homeless in US terms where you might have 20 to 40 million homeless, that kind of thing. It's really big and it will be tough, but there's a dedication on the part of Hondurans and I'll tell you, I have been impressed both by the Honduran public sector and also by the Honduran people out there.
CHARLES KRAUSE: Still, there's a general consensus that the most difficult time for Honduras is yet to come. Like someone involved in a very serious automobile accident, the emergency rescue teams have arrived and Honduras has been stabilized. But the internal injuries are so great and the twin opportunistic infections of incompetence and corruption are so prevalent in situations like this one -- especially in Central America -- that rebuilding the country may prove even more difficult than the initial relief effort. Nowhere is the task ahead more evident than the Sula Valley, where U.S. fruit companies own vast banana plantations and where 70 percent of the Honduran economy comes from. As we overflew the valley, Jose Molina, vice president of the local Chamber of Commerce, told us the business community is anxious for the world to know the extent of the damage and what it will take to rebuild.
Creagan quote
Destruction of the banana crop.
JOSE MOLINA: See all these bananas are starting now to turn yellow, so all the crop is completely lost. You see that there's so much destruction here, that there's so much water still in these areas, because the two rivers converged, and the rivers, I believe, still go on into areas where crops were being planted, or where they had cattle.
CHARLES KRAUSE: Although most of the Sula Valley is used for agriculture, there's an increasingly important number of maquila plants that manufacture mostly clothes for export to the United States. At the Continental industrial park, ten of the plants were flooded, and their workers are now increasingly desperate -- picking through mounds of discarded clothing trying to find anything at all that's salvageable. We asked them about an incident the day before, when several hundred workers had reportedly forced their way into the industrial park itself looking for scraps of cloth they might dry out and use for clothing.
CHARLES KRAUSE: "We're all desperate," she told us. "We had to get in and they wouldn't let us in, so we used force." We also encountered the same anxiety among the homeless in Tegucigalpa, where former residents of a neighborhood called Miramesi showed us where their homes had been before they were wiped out -- literally overnight. Now, Miramesi's 250 families spend much of their time filling out government forms with no indication of whether, where or when they'll be given land and some assistance to rebuild. Michael Miller is an American who was in Tegucigalpa working with street children before the hurricane. He's now working with the homeless from Miramesi.
CHARLES KRAUSE: Do you sense that people here are beginning to get frustrated?
MICHAEL MILLER, U.S. volunteer: Definitely. On Sunday, we had to leave one of our five shelters, and that brought up a lot of emotions in the people. They had been stable in the shelters. They had established themselves and organized themselves and to have to leave a shelter brought up a lot of the feelings of homelessness and hopelessness. I think with each passing week, the people are going to get more and more frustrated and communities are going to start talking about land invasions very soon.
CHARLES KRAUSE: The danger of delaying reconstruction programs, especially for the poor and the homeless, is apparent -- even to those far removed from the shelters and the neighborhoods that were heavily damaged or swept away. Banker Guillermo Bueso is an influential member of the Honduran establishment who says the reconstruction effort must begin quickly.
GUILLERMO BUESO: Why? Because you may have people so distressed, so abandoned that we may have social frictions.
CHARLES KRAUSE: Bueso estimates that the total damage caused by Mitch is close to $4 billion. And even though he's a firm believer in privatization and shrinking government control over the economy, he's concluded that only a massive public works program can forestall social unrest and revive economic activity in the short run.
GUILLERMO BUESO: You need the government to reverse what we were doing. We were reducing the size and the scope of the action of the government, following of course what is the Washington consensus, and we were doing quite right. Now, priority for the government is to become again a big spender in the public -- in the utilities, roads, electricity and so forth, which are not privatized yet. My idea and my recommendation is let's start a pickup by the beginning of the next year.
CHARLES KRAUSE: But even as the government rushes to develop an official assessment of the damage and a reconstruction plan, there's a growing feeling both in Honduras and in Washington that as tragic as Mitch was, it also offers a long-overdue opportunity for change. Luis Consenza Jiminez heads FIDE, a Honduran foundation which promotes private enterprise.
An opportunity for change?
LUIS COSENZA JIMINEZ: I think we have two choices. One is to rebuild the country as it was before the hurricane and the other one is to seize upon this opportunity and transform it into a country which is more equitable, in which we have greater opportunities--- everyone has greater opportunities. We do need international support obviously. But by and large, I think it's a task that falls upon our own shoulders. It's a question of whether we will have the will and determination to carry it through and seize upon this opportunity, as I said before, to make a difference in this country.
CHARLES KRAUSE: Cosenza and others say that one of the most critical choices Honduras will have to make concerns deforestation, which contributed directly to the flooding and the high number of people and property lost during Hurricane Mitch. Grinding rural poverty and an extremely high birth rate have driven an increasing number of campesino families into Honduran cities like Tegucigalpa -- where the poor cut down trees to build shacks on desolate mountainsides or along unprotected riverbanks.
LUIS COSENZA JIMINEZ: They end up living in areas that are very susceptible to flooding and we run into the problems that we have over here, so in a way, we have a double problem if you wish --deforestation on the one side that increases the possibility or probability of mudslides or large floods -- and on the other hand, we have -- because of our development -- we have people moving into the cities and having to live in areas which are really not suitable for living. So we have both effects combined and, therefore, we run into the destruction that we recently had.
CHARLES KRAUSE: One answer to the problem might be land reform, traditionally a very politically charged issue in Latin America. At the Inter-American Development Bank, Enrique Iglesias says there are also a host of other issues and opportunities that must be addressed.
CHARLES KRAUSE: The task ahead would be overwhelming even for a developed country with far more economic and human resources than Honduras -- one reason the United States and many other countries have sent so much emergency aid since the hurricane struck. But the future, rebuilding Honduras, remains uncertain. What can be said is that the country, damaged beyond recognition and despite many handicaps, is in critical condition but it's fighting for its life. And so far, it's surviving.

My point is not that nobody should run 5.8, but rather than nobody should run 5.8 and expect to be able to download recently written code and have it "just work".
Using a legacy version of Perl to run legacy code (and I understand it, there's a picture of the Perlmonks code if you look up "legacy code" in the dictionary) is clearly fine.
Perl 5.8 first came into this world in 2002; the same year as Windows XP. The latest releases of Internet Explorer don't run on Windows XP. If one of the largest commercial software developers on the planet will not support products 10 years old that have had multiple stable releases since, then why should unpaid open source developers?

Sure, but combine that with the oft-heard statement, "I don't program in perl, I program in CPAN."
I only recently changed my CPAN packages from requiring perl 5.6 to requiring perl 5.8.3. Not because my code requires it, but because the Build/Make utilities are finally dropping support for pre-5.8 perls. (Note that I'm referring to the "requires" key in Build.PL or Makefile.PL, not in the module source itself.)
Now for many, probably most, packages that goes back ridiculously far back, but I don't write OS- or WWW-specific packages, and I have no reason not to support as many people as possible.
I suppose you could start a campaign to force people to upgrade their perls by using the requires keyword with perl => 5.16 (for example), but I frankly don't see the point. Set the minimum version to what's needed, and let the end-users sort it out.

I need a solution for a problem I'm having. I have two fields. A user will be able to enter words separated by spaces in both fields. I need to extract all the words and create a list of words. for example if the user was to enter: apples oranges pears the program will output apples applesoranges applespears oranges orangesapples orangespears pears pearsapples pearsoranges etc and the list goes on. I do not have telnet so the abigal package will not help me. Please e-mail me with a solution is someone is willing to help.

Theopompus says, that there are fourteen Epirotic nations. Of these, the most celebrated are the Chaones and Molotti, because the whole of Epirus was at one time subject, first to Chaones, afterwards to Molotti. Their power was greatly strengthened by the family of their kings being descended from the Æacidæ, and because the ancient and famous oracle of Dodona1 was in their country. Chaones, Thesproti, and next after these Cassopæi, (who are Thes- proti,) occupy the coast, a fertile tract reaching from the Ceraunian mountains to the Ambracian Gulf.
The voyage commencing from the Chaones eastward towards the Gulfs of Ambracia and Corinth, and having the Ausonian Sea on the right, and Epirus on the left, comprises 1300 stadia to the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf. In this interval is Panormus,2 a large port in the middle of the Ceraunian mountains. Next to this is Onchesmus,3 another harbour, opposite to which are the western extremities of Corcyra,4 and then again another port, Cassiope,5 (Cassope?) whence to Brundusium6 are 1700 stadia. It is the same distance to Tarentum from another promontory more to the south than Cassiope, which is called Phalacrum. Next after Onchesmus are Posidium, and Buthrotum,7 (which is situated upon the mouth of the lake Pelodes, in a spot of a peninsula form, and has a Roman colony,) and the Sybota. The Sybota8 are small islands at a little distance from Epirus, lying near Leucimme,9 the eastern promontory of Corcyra. There are also other small islands, not worthy of notice, which are met with along the coast.
Next is the promontory Chimerium, and a harbour called Glycys-Limen, [or Sweet Harbour,] where the river Acheron, which receives several other rivers, empties itself and renders fresh the water of the gulf. The Thyamus10 flows near it. Above this gulf is situated Cichyrus, formerly Ephyra, a city of the Thesproti, and above the gulf at Buthrotum, Phœnice.11 Near Cichyrus is Buchetium, a small city of the Cassopæi, situated at a little distance from the sea; Elatria, Pandosia, and Batiæ are in the inland parts. Their territory extends as far as the gulf. Next after the harbour Glycys-Limen are two others, Comarus,12 the nearest and smallest, forming an isthmus of 60 stadia, near the Ambracian Gulf and Nicopolis,13 founded by Augustus Cæsar; the other, the more distant and larger, and better harbour, is near the mouth of the gulf, and distant from Nicopolis about 12 stadia.

Thus the master craftsmen are superior in wisdom, not because they can do things, but because they possess a theory and know the causes.In general the sign of knowledge or ignorance is the ability to teach, and for this reason we hold that art rather than experience is scientific knowledge; for the artists can teach, but the others cannot.Further, we do not consider any of the senses to be Wisdom. They are indeed our chief sources of knowledge about particulars, but they do not tell us the reason for anything, as for example why fire is hot, but only that it is hot.It is therefore probable that at first the inventor of any art which went further than the ordinary sensations was admired by his fellow-men, not merely because some of his inventions were useful, but as being a wise and superior person.And as more and more arts were discovered, some relating to the necessities and some to the pastimes of life, the inventors of the latter were always considered wiser than those of the former,because their branches of knowledge did not aim at utility.Hence when all the discoveries of this kind were fully developed, the sciences which relate neither to pleasure nor yet to the necessities of life were invented, and first in those places where men had leisure. Thus the mathematical sciences originated in the neighborhood of Egypt, because there the priestly class was allowed leisure.Cf. Plat. Phaedrus 274, Hdt. 2.109.The difference between art and science and the other kindred mental activities has been stated in theEthicsAristot. Nic. Eth. 6.1139b 14-1141b 8.; the reason for our present discussion is that it is generally assumed that what is called Wisdomi.e. Metaphysics. is concerned with the primary causes and principles, so that, as has been already stated, the man of experience is held to be wiser than the mere possessors of any power of sensation, the artist than the man of experience, the master craftsman than the artisan; and the speculative sciences to be more learned than the productive. | http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/xmlchunk?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0052%3Abook%3D1%3Asection%3D981b | dclm-gs1-035290002 | false | false | {

Inquirer Daily News
How Comcast is beating Verizon
"The U.S. video business is now growing roughly 50% faster than the U.S. wireless business," notes Sanford C. Bernstein analyst Craig Moffett
How Comcast is beating Verizon
Cable-company revenues per subscriber are up 5.3% over the last year, vs just 3.6% for wireless, notes Craig Mofett, telecom analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein Research.
That's because wireless is competitive : Verizon vs AT&T Mobility vs T-Mobile vs Sprint vs MetroPCS or Leap (and both, uniquely, in Philadelphia), vs resellers like Virgin Mobile and Tracfone and regionals like US Cellular and Cox...
While cable is still local-monopolistic: You get Comcast or TimeWarner Cable or Cablevision or Cox...
So wireless prices are dropping, while cable prices are going up. "Five years ago, when cable broadband was introduced at around $40, consensus expectations projected that prices would fall by as much as a third by now. Instead, they've risen."
And wireless, Moffett notes, is only likely to Internet 40% of America, leaving cable with the rest.

I recently turned 58, and now I am looking mortality square in the face. Well, not really. I don't think about mortality or retirement much, despite having had a few life-threatening experiences. I try to keep what is commonly called a youthful outlook--which, luckily, has very little to do with chronological age and much to do with being open to new or different ideas and experiences.
I've found that many librarians have similar positive and flexible outlooks, which is understandable given our constant need to adapt to changing professional norms and methods. I love that about our profession. We rock!
This brings me to the theme of this issue of Information Outlook--the e-book revolution. This is another in a very long line of revolutions that have had an impact on librarianship, including the Internet, the Web, online databases, and mobile technologies.
How do we get off the revolution roller coaster and develop a culture of flexibility, adaptability, engagement and excitement about change? Roller coasters are a model of contradictions--danger, excitement, risk, ups and downs, fun and fear--much like the overall environment we find ourselves in today. At my age, I've been for a few rides through our changing world.
Change is the new normal, so dealing with every new shift as if it were a revolution seems like a haphazard strategy. Are there some personal philosophies, attitudes and aptitudes that, when adopted into our professional and organizational cultures, will allow us to more easily and successfully enjoy the ride?
Most "top 10" lists about staying current offer tried and true tactics for keeping up with the changes in the world. And that's just what's wrong with them--they're tactical, not strategic. Most tell you that doing some simple things will prepare you for change, but all they do is make you aware of change without endowing you with new behaviors and attitudes that will allow you to sail through. Yes, you can engage in these tactical activities and have some success, but I believe this approach won't make as big a difference in your life as the 10 strategies outlined below.
Play with vigor and intent. Everyone who knows me knows that I'm a huge proponent of play in the workplace. This isn't just a matter of playing with new technologies and Websites; I also believe that fun and humor should enter our work lives on a daily basis.
You can see opportunity in new things when you play. When you research or investigate something with your workplace goggles on, sometimes you miss the bigger opportunities that are present in the innovation. Occasional undirected play at work frees the mind to explore new ideas.
Successful people and work teams leave time for play, both alone and together. Play is not frivolous--on the contrary., it is one of the most potent learning strategies available. I also believe that happy teams having fun together is a predictor of workplace success, employee retention, and lifelong health. Do you make time to play?
Hang out with different people and people who are different from you. Lately, I've been thinking about the echo chamber that is librarianship. I worry that we listen too much to each other and not enough to others. This can affect the quality of our insights and decisions, and even our ability to communicate with our stakeholders.
For example, how do our customers talk about their encounters with new information technologies? If we talk about "e-books" and they talk about "reading," are we isolating ourselves from them?
How diverse is the community of people you deal with? Are there enough non-librarians in your circle of contacts (not including family members)? How about the demographic mosaic of gender, age, nationality, ethnicity, race, language and geography in your conversation zone? Is it diverse? Do you have personal experience with young librarians and young … | http://www.questia.com/library/1G1-265023876/a-philosophy-for-staying-current-rather-than-trying | dclm-gs1-035430002 | false | false | {

Arctic and American peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus tundrius and F. p. anatum, respectively) were listed as endangered in 1970. At the time, some local populations of American peregrine falcons in the eastern United States had disappeared, and populations in western and northern North America had been reduced by 80 percent or more. Organochlorine pesticides such as DDT and its breakdown product DDE were identified as the main cause of the decline. The peregrines accumulated these chemicals in their tissues by feeding on birds that had eaten DDT-contaminated insects or seeds. These chemicals prevented normal calcium deposition during eggshell formation, and caused females to lay thin-shelled eggs that often broke before hatching. The use of DDT was restricted in the United States and Canada in the early 1970's, and populations of peregrine falcons in North America began to recover by the late 1970's.
After Arctic and American peregrine falcons were listed, the Fish and Wildlife Service prepared recovery plans for four different geographic areas. For Alaska populations, the recovery plan identified specific "index" areas (areas representative of interior and northern Alaska) to survey and specific recovery criteria for reclassification. These criteria included the number of pairs occupying territories, number of young produced, reductions in DDE residue in eggs, and minimum eggshell thickness.
In the early 1980's, biologists in the Service's Region 7 Endangered Species and Environmental Contaminant programs began a contaminant monitoring program for peregrine falcons in Alaska. This program continued throughout the 1990's. The monitoring plan focused on DDE and eggshell thinning, and called for collecting and analyzing at least 10 eggs from each subspecies every 5 years. Unhatched eggs were also collected when visiting nests to band falcons for mortality and movement studies. We began the program in 1984 and repeated it in 1989 and 1995. During this time, we collected 153 eggs, 87 from American peregrines and 66 from Arctic peregrines.
Our analyses showed a clear downward trend of DDE concentrations in eggs. In the late 1960's, DDE residues in the range of 20-40 parts per million (ppm) and eggshell thinning in excess of 20 percent were observed for peregrine falcons in Alaska (Peakall et. al 1975). … | http://www.questia.com/library/1G1-75707017/monitoring-contaminants-in-alaskan-peregrines | dclm-gs1-035440002 | false | false | {

It wasn't a family issue. Our country (Hungary) has been run by idiots for a few years now, who made it impossible for our (quite large, 4 children) family to live comfortably. So my family have moved abroad, but I have stayed, because I've just got the opportunity to possibly play in one of the best waterpolo leagues, and with some help from the "bigger people" in the sport, that means great scholarships for universities. So now I live in a small flat, and do my best at the training camp.

I'm 26 and my parents usually give me really bad advice about most things.
My folks often don't have experience in the sorts of things that I have problems with, make severe overreactions, or don't understand modern things.
At the same time - sometimes I will feel better about the mistake I made on my own rather than the mistake made by somebody else. If I do something and it doesn't turn out well, it's my own problem; if somebody tells me what to do and it doesn't turn out well, it's their fault
So it's partly a matter of mentality.

It wasn't until I was 19 when I realized my parents weren't that bright. I was the first kid in my family who went to college and I realized that my parents were following lower-class patterns that keep 'em in the lower-middle class. To this day I'm trying to convince them to put more in their retirement plans, not to buy dumb stuff, and how to eat right. I'm 31 and my parents are 52 and have been making some pooooooor choices since I've moved out. They've always been; I was too blind to realize it as a teen.
Anyway, I learned how to cook from living with a bunch of vegan punk rock guys and fixing stuff I learned from (as a guy, I loathe to admit it based on its sexism and it makes me look like a pansy) a book that is geared toward women.

It was the opposite for me because I was a dumb obedient kid. I listened to and believed all the bullshit my parents taught and held the same opinions they did up until my teens.

[–]Lutherankashisaur 3 points4 points ago
The word 'Trinity' doesn't appear in the Bible because it is the name of the doctrine that the church developed based on what is revealed in the Bible. There isn't a reason to expect it to appear in the Bible, for all theology comes through interpreting and expounding upon what is taught in the Bible. We should therefore expect not the fullness but rather the elements of the doctrine to be in the Bible, and they certainly are.
As a start, I would point to Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31; Matthew 28:19; John 14:8-17, 25-7; John 16:12:15; Romans 5:1-5. Note that many of those are readings for Trinity Sunday (first Sunday after the Feast of Pentecost). It's not difficult to see from those pieces of Scripture that the doctrine of the Trinity is a biblical doctrine.
[–]Isuspectnargles -2 points-1 points ago
Proverbs.. nope, nothing here resembling trinity that I can see. Matthew says to baptize in the name of the 3, it says nothing about these 3 being the same thing, or making up God. John has stuff about "I am in the father, the father is in me" implying some intimate relationship between Jesus and God, but hardly a clear statement that Jesus IS God, or that God has 3 parts.
IMO it is quite difficult to see from these pieces that Trinity is a doctrine found in the Bible.
Edit: forgot Romans. The Lord (Jesus), and God, both mentioned here.. no indication they are the same thing. Holy Spirit is mentioned. Simply mentioning Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit is hardly evidence for the notion of trinity.
[–]Lutherankashisaur 0 points1 point ago
Perhaps I'm pushing too subtle of a distinction. I'm not saying that the doctrine itself is in Scripture -- no where do we get a statement along the lines of "The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one God in three distinct personages." That doctrine, though not in the Bible, is biblical in that the doctrine arises out of the accounts of Scripture, as opposed to, let's say, the doctrine of the assumption of the Virgin Mary, which is established as a necessary theological corollary to the doctrine concerning the nature of Christ.
You won't find a single doctrine of the church that didn't need to be argued, regardless of how explicitly it was found in Scripture. Clearly, there was confusion and a need for debate -- the early church fought for centuries to arrive at the doctrine of the Trinity, and even today there exists a schism between East and West about whether the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father alone or also from the Son -- but ultimately, a doctrine was developed that arose from the testimony of Scripture and the teachings of the Apostles and Fathers of the church who interpreted it.
If you would like to create an argument for how else those passages should be read, I would find it more useful to offer an interpretation that makes sense of the relationship and natures of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit that explain the passages in a more convincing light than the doctrine of the Trinity does. This was certainly the aim of the gnostics and others in the days of the early church.
[–]Isuspectnargles 0 points1 point ago
IMO, church tradition got it wrong. There's a few things in scripture that can support trinity, if you squint just right, but there are TONS of verses that don't work with trinity. God and Jesus are quite distinct all throughout the NT.. this would be very strange if they were the same thing. How could Jesus be the firstborn of all creation, if he was God? How could God know things Jesus does not, if Jesus was God?
If you're going for preponderance of evidence, to me the case for trinity is extremely weak. | http://www.reddit.com/r/Christianity/comments/1d62w7/where_in_the_bible_is_the_trinity_mentioned/c9npqmr?context=3 | dclm-gs1-035510002 | false | false | {

I rarely keep more than 100-150 around unless I'm waiting for buildings to finish or busy prosecuting a war rather than upgrading the realm.
[–]NecroKnightNothin' like marryin' the sister 1 point2 points ago
Depends on how big your realm is, but I usually try to keep at least 1-2k in reserves. The larger your realm is the bigger your cash reserves need to be. At a certain point, though, you start earning enough money per month to still post a profit while paying for mercenaries. At that point I usually stop trying to keep a definitive "reserve" amount.
As long as you are able to occasionally keep upgrading your holdings you're not hurting yourself.
[–]Rockleg[S] 0 points1 point ago
Depends on how big your realm is
Related question: what do y'all think would be a good scale factor for this? I've never made it to having an empire and raising doomstacks (but I assume mercenaries matter much less then, anyway). For count, duke, and single- or double-king realms, I figure you'd want to be able to hire mercenary bands as big as your biggest vassal's troops.
Your biggest vassal is the one most likely to be leading a faction in rebellion, and often in a Succession Crisis there's more than one faction involved, right? So I would think that the #1 vassal isn't likely to combine forces with the #2 vassal. But I haven't really played enough to know if this is how it goes.
[–]NecroKnightNothin' like marryin' the sister 2 points3 points ago
I'll try and lay out a rough idea.
• Multi-Count/Duke: 200-500.
• 1-2 Kingdoms: 800-1200.
• 3 Kingdoms/Fledgeling Empire (Just the De Jure parts): 1000-2000
• Medium Empire (ex: Spain + France/HRE + Poland&Hungary): 2500-5000
• Large Empire (ex: HRE +Francia + Hispania): 5000+
• Roman Empire: None.
So let me explain. This is by no means a static guideline and you should always be spending your money on upgrades, but if you think war is coming the listed amount should solve your problems with a little luck (ie. assassinations/mercenaries/gifts). The "Medium Empire" is bolded because that is the most difficult to judge. This is the area where you'll have a few Super Dukes/Kings, you're income won't be super high and your retinues might not be Doomstack level yet. It's the most difficult "leve" b/c your vassals (in my opinion) can much more easily overthrow you.
By the time you hit Roman Empire/Large Empire level I'm assuming the following things:
• You're using Elective Monarchy.
• You possess a successful Eugenics Program.
• You've bred your heirs and your major vassal's heirs.
• You do not have Absolute Crown Authority
• You have high Moral Authority.
If the following things are true, once you hit Roman Empire level (1/3 to 1/2 of map) you should be set to cruise control.
[–]SUPERSMILEYMANI have no idea what I'm doing 0 points1 point ago
You have high Moral Authority.
What is this and how do you find it?
You're using Elective Monarchy.
Is it wise to use this with more dukes/kings than with just a small kingdom?
Click on the religion tab and it's in the upper right hand corner of the pop up I believe.
Moral Authority is basically the judge of how strong your religion is. The lower it is the more susceptible the religion is to heresy.
[–]iceman0486 0 points1 point ago
Depends entirely on what you're doing at the moment. If I have my chancellor going for a claim on a county/duchy claim you may need as much as 1000-1500 on hand to pay for it. If not, I usually keep enough on hand to hire a merc group.
[–]Rockleg[S] 0 points1 point ago
Good point. If I'm working claims, or getting ready to usurp something, I always add that in to my reserve before I spend money on upgrades/bribes.
[–]hipstr_hop 0 points1 point ago
I try to keep at least 300 or 400 in the bank—enough to pay for one or two of the cheaper merc bands in case things get desperate. | http://www.reddit.com/r/CrusaderKings/comments/1h6ybc/how_much_cash_reserve_should_you_keep/ | dclm-gs1-035520002 | false | false | {

If I understand all of this, the sims don't really get assigned a sink. They just gravitate towards the closest one until it's full then move onto the next. But if all the sinks on a particular street are full, then new spawns would gravitate towards the next closest sink, on a different street.
How hard would it be to have the sim assigned a sink when they spawn. That way when that sink fills up, the sims that spawn next, would get assigned a new sink. The trickle down effect would be that the sims would only gravitate towards their assignments. So if you had two streets with 10 sinks on each of them, way down at the very end. You would only send 10 sims down the first street, and then the next 10 down the next street. Rather than 100 down the first street, only to have 90 of them do U-turns when the 10 sinks are filled up.
Seems so simple, yet is it actually plausible the way they designed the agents?
EDIT: Ok so I read through your write-up a few more times. To make sure I had a grasp on it. Do you think the system would break: if instead of a sink strength between a full unit and an empty unit, the full unit just assigned agents based on the sink strength? So a full unit releases agents, assigns them an empty unit, because it has the largest sink strength. Then maybe once the original empty units sink strength dropped below 50% (or even after it's dropped just 25%) sink strength, the full units releasing agents would then assign their agents to the next empty unit with the largest sink strength. Eventually the agents would be distributed back and forth to the empty units because their sink strength would fluctuate.
This would be a more realistic simulation because humans don't all get to their work/home destinations at the same time. We're definitely more staggered, even if we leave at the same time, we aren't all going to the same neighborhood/workplace.
[–]unindel[S] 0 points1 point ago
I'm trying to catch up and reply to some of these posts but a lot of people are saying the same sorts of things. Basically you can't assign an agent a specific sink on spawn because all the agents of a given type share the same D* pathing map that they use to make their pathing decisions. Assigning them to a specific sink implies a separate map for each agent vs for each type of agent which is a huge increase, particularly when you consider the number of things that could change the map (road changes, sink changes like it closing/upgrading/fire/abandon/etc) so do you just delete the agent when its path breaks or recalculate AGAIN then?
It's a complicated problem and I can't really speculate on what the best solution is without knowing exactly what their limitations are. =/
[–]rydogg707 0 points1 point ago
Well, could you control the sink then? I know most agents would be already gravitating towards the biggest sink, but could it be possible to reduce how big the sink is when it's capacity is a certain percentage?
I guess I see what you're saying. And maybe messing with the sinks, won't actually change anything.
Do you know if the agents would change direction mid-pathing, if a brighter sink was to appear? Like would having randomized sink brightness around all the empty units affect agents already pathing, or only new agents? I guess I'm still trying to figure it all out.
[–]unindel[S] 1 point2 points ago
It seems like the map updates with some periodicity (I don't know if it's regular or if it's based on when buildings/roads change or what exactly, but basically it updates). Once it updates the transport handlers will probably continue along the path they were set til they hit the next intersection and then if it tells them to turn around because the node behind them is now the lowest number then that's what they'll do. Also if there's some randomization (which you see with some of the public transit like street-cars) then they may just turn around even without a map update.

I have to say, yesterday was a pretty dark day. I was really bummed about playing a "broken" game. Article after article, post after post, just put me in a funk. I didn't even play at all last night.
Truthfully, after reading your write-up, I am excited to play the game again. Because I think you are right. Thank you for this. The game isn't broken, just unfinished. I think you came to a similar conclusion yes?
I really do enjoy the game play. I have yet to solve 110k population. But I was stuck at 40k for the longest time, and Tuesday night I was able to see it go from 40k to 110k, but then they all left (well, down to 60k).
So this is how I'm playing, trying to figure out the system in hand, it's been a real challenge for me. But once I finish a challenge it's on to the next one....

There's not a lot of issues with getting a lot of tattoos in rapid succession, so long as you're taking proper care of all of them as they heal.
The only issue would be pacing; proper planning and placement are what make a tattoo great, and you might also run the risk of simply running out of canvas. Filling up your whole body takes a lot of time, money and effort, but not everyone wants to tattoo their neck, hands etc., so taking a little time to plan couldn't hurt.
Ultimately, tattoos are subjective, and the only person's opinion that matters is your own!

And playing a 4v5 for even the first 10 minutes of a game can decide the outcome of that game. The report doesn't even do anything if it was just incidental anyways.

Everlasting Quantum Wave
December 17, 2009
NIST physicists predict new form of soliton in ultracold gases
Solitary waves that run a long distance without losing their shape or dying out are a special class of waves called solitons. These everlasting waves are exotic enough, but theoreticians at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) , a collaboration of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland, and their colleagues in India and the George Mason University, now believe that there may be a new kind of soliton that’s even more special. Expected to be found in certain types of ultracold gases, the new soliton would not be just a low-temperature atomic curiosity, it also may provide profound insights into other physical systems, including the early universe.
Solitons can occur everywhere. In the 1830s, Scottish scientist John Scott Russell first identified them while riding along a narrow canal, where he saw a water wave maintaining its shape over long distances, instead of dying away. This “singular and beautiful” phenomenon, as Russell termed it, has since been observed, created and exploited in many systems, including light waves in optical-fiber telecommunications, the vibrational waves that sweep through atomic crystals, and even “atom waves” in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), an ultracold state of matter. Atoms in BECs can join together to form single large waves that travel through the gas. The atom waves in BECs can even split up, interfere with one another, and cancel each other out. In BECs with weakly interacting atoms, this has resulted in observations of “dark solitons,” long-lasting waves that represent absences of atoms propagating through the gas, and “bright” solitons (those carrying actual matter).
By taking a new theoretical approach, the JQI work* predicts a third, even more exotic “immortal” soliton””never before seen in any other physical system. This new soliton can occur in BECs made of “hard-core bosons”"”atoms that repel each other strongly and thus interact intensely “”organized in an egg-crate-like arrangement known as an “optical lattice.” In 1990, one of the coauthors of the present work, Radha Balakrishnan of the Institute of Mathematical Sciences in India, wrote down the mathematical description of these new solitons, but considered her work merely to approximate the behavior of a BEC made of strongly interacting gas atoms. With the subsequent observations of BECs, the JQI researchers recently realized both that Balakrishnan’s equations provide an almost exact description of a BEC with strongly interacting atoms, and that this previously unknown type of soliton actually can exist. While all previously known solitons die down as their wave velocity approaches the speed of sound, this new soliton would survive, maintaining its wave height (amplitude) even at sonic speeds.
If the “immortal” soliton could be created to order, it could provide a new avenue for investigating the behavior of strongly interacting quantum systems, whose members include high-temperature superconductors and magnets. As atoms cooling into a BEC represent a phase transition (like water turning to ice), the new soliton could also serve as an important tool for better understanding phase transitions, even those that took place in the early universe as it expanded and cooled.

In the years I’ve been watching politics and foreign affairs I don’t believe I’ve ever seen any story come unglued as fast as the Obama administration’s version of events on what happened to our diplomatic presence in Egypt and Libya on September 11, 2012. And I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a senior government official so completely repudiated in a mere week as was UN Ambassador Susan Rice.
When Ambassador Rice took to the Sunday shows last week, the implausible, even at the time, story she spun was one of the Arab street inflamed by a YouTube trailer to a video that may or may not exist. Since then we’ve learned that there was advanced warning of the attack, the staff at Benghazi was afraid an attack was in the offing, the attack was planned, it was led by a a graduate cum laude from Gitmo, and that the administration had decided not to provide US security forces for the embassy in Tripoli or the Benghazi consulate. To paraphrase Mary McCarthy on Lillian Hellman, “every word she says is a lie including “and” and “the”".
It is hard to paint Rice’s actions in any but the harshest light. Either the administration did not have access to the same facts as the rest of us, like the statement from the Libyan government, and made a conscious decision to try to bluff their way through events relying on the inactivity of a supine press or they did have the information and chose to lie about the events to put themselves in the best possible light. In either case, Rice should resign. But she won’t because she needs the job more than she needs integrity.

Susan Rice: Liar or Nincompoop?
Well really, either way she does not belong in the position of power that she is in.
After watching her on Fox News Sunday, my money is on liar….something about the way she was rapidly blinking her eyes as the words were coming out of her mouth makes me believe that. Not to mention the sheer idiocy of what she was saying.
• thx1138v2
Or both? That would be my take. Liar to perpetuate the lie. Nincompoop to not recognize that the American people can see through the lie.
There’s an interesting article on Breitbart today that basically says that the trailer was virtually unknown until the administration started advertising it and that the advertising was to intentionally inflame the middle east to detract from the administration’s failures. So beyond laying the blame for American deaths in Libya at this administration’s feet we can also lay the blame for this sprate of middle east unrest at this administration’s feet.
• jastahl
the key phrase is “relying on the inactivity of a supine press”. This whole election is going to be decided on what the main stream press chooses to focus on. Independent voters are not likely to watch Fox or MSNBC. So they will see the big three networks or read major newspapers online. This means they will not hear anything negative about the current administration. The whole thing is just sad and a bit scary. Focusing for a whole week on a secretly taped video from months ago. Then every MSNBC show features comments from people they hate – Peggy Noonan, Bill Kristol, etc. Why? Because they are Conservative Republicans beating up on Governor Romney. Nothing will sway an independent voter more than having people from the candidate’s own party tearing them down. Why do Republicans do that? When have you ever heard of a Democrat doing that… except for Cory Booker.. who was taken to the woodshed and suddenly changed his whole tune.
• tnfriendofcoal101368
streiff: look at Obama’s remarks during the Univision interview…the scary thing is HE believes it despite all the evidence to the contrary. As you say, this is astonishing; the President of the United States is either a liar or nincompoop (and I am starting to believe nincompoop). Either way, he is getting Americans killed. If I played Mitt Romney on tv, I’d give the following remarks:
Eleven days ago, I called the actions of radical Islamic extremism that breached our embassy, burned our flag and killed our ambassador disgusting and heart rendering. I said the President blaming Americans and the apologizing to the radical thugs who attack us was humiliating and ineffective. A wide range of folks thought I acted hastily and should give the President more time. I disagree in a crisis, a President has to be willing to lead from the front not run for cover but this is America and everyone has a right to 1st Amendment right to state their opinion.
Here we are 11 days later, the response of the President’s administration has been a clown show. To recap, the President and Secretary of State both tried to put the blame on a silly YouTube video and sent the Ambassador to the UN on every Sunday show to beclown herself and reiterate this silly notion that students in a spontaneous demonstration bring mortars and rpg’s. The White House Press Secretary gave this idiotic line in his press briefings for several days. Then the White House terrorism czar and the Press Secretary admitted that the whole idea was silly with the Press Secretary calling it “self evident”. Alas, at his Univision town hall, the President must not have read the briefing memo because he again reiterated his silly and frankly insulting notion that the killing of an Ambassador was due to an American making a YouTube video.
Three points: 1) This is not the fault of Americans; it’s the fault of radical Islamist who despite what the President believes are in their minds at war with the US. 2) The idea that Muslim’s just can’t contain themselves over a video and are forced into violence is insulting, belittling and beneath the Presidency 3) The clown show the President has put on the last couple of weeks projects weakness and stupidity to our enemies. Nothing emboldens our enemies through the world quite like weakness and stupidity. As a follow up, having been successful in Libya, Islamist terrorist launched another attack against a military compound in Afghanistan killing two marines and destroying 200 million dollars worth of US fighter jets. At the same time, Iranian forces openly invaded Syria. The President’s ineffectual policy of appease and apologize leaves our allies threatened on all sides, emboldens our enemies and quite frankly gets Americans killed.

Poor Susie was under some serious pressure from the One to engage in high-level CYA spin. What did we expect her to say? That the Obama Administration blew it, missed the clues, forgot to look at the calendar that day, so bring on the lawsuits? Or, that Barack Obama has a deal going with the Muslim Brotherhood to allow these things to happen, but you didn’t hear it from me?
Of course, she is a liar, but she’s believes in her empty little head that she’s doing it for noble reasons. Dead Navy Seals and Ambassadors are just collateral damage to her.
• proudmarinemom
The most effective speeches are those that understand the impact of brevity.
Romney uses too many words. He should simply say this: “Islamic extremists have declared war on American citizens. As your Commander-in-Chief I will answer that declaration by withdrawing all support from nations that harbor them and I will use whatever force is necessary to protect American citizens.”

This is reminiscent o the Spanish government’s attempt to blame the 2004 Madrid terrorist attacks on Eta – for political reasons just before Spain’s Presidential election.

You have to be willing to call the President out for his failure and explain why it is failure – if you don’t people think your name calling. They have to be given reasons why the President has failed not slogans (mainly because they stop believing the slogans). You can do this and not drone on for an hour. A President ran a clown show, got people killed, apologized for Americans, and then insulted all Muslims by saying essentially bless their hearts those barbarians don’t know any better. Come to think of it – it’s the whole justification for his Presidency, bless their hearts I know better than everyone else.

Too many times Americans have waffled between whether Obama is incompetent or deliberately ruining the country. Same thing with Eric Holder. Is Holder a liar or incompetent in regards to Fast and Furious? We, as conservatives, think that people must be stupid do take the actions Obama has taken. It is hard to imagine that someone would deliberately attempt to destroy the America we have known. Believe it. This administration is not stupid. This admistration is evil and deliberate. Susan Rice was deliberately lying to avoid that fact that this was a terrorost attack on Americans. Now she will attempt to use plausible deniabllity to distance herself. Same liberal tactic Holder uses,

Maybe there is another answer.
Maybe this is all David Axlerots work. It’s a classic astroturf effort that well may have worked and here’s how.
Send a good looking, sincere,black woman out to every dbm net there is.One who is high up in the echelon of the administration and just tell her to lie her ass off.
She does.
No one believes her but Axel knows the story has a life of only a few days, a week at best.The week ends.
The obamedia dutifully goes back to Romney’s 47% and the release of his tax records. Stuff they would much rather cover.
Who had the guts to call a black potus or a black ambassador to the UN liars? Few, in full view of everyone, where it counts. Many in the privacy of closed doors. Exactly what the bent axel was looking for.
He plays the race card one more time,astroturfs a bad polling item that reflects yet another pr disaster of an incompetent administration in free-fall which loses points in the elections and gets back to the real issues of the campaign. What evil deed has Mitt Romney committed this week? Axel dodges a huge bullet once again.
So who won?
It was not America.

Susan Rice: Liar or Nincompoop?
You mean- Susan Rice: Liar and Nincompoop..
She is just another Obama stooge, parroting, peddling, promulgating Obama’s rhetoric of propagandist lies. The truth, the facts of evidence is what makes Susan Rice, along with her soon to be fired boss Obama, the most non-credible, untrustworthy, deceitful lying elected and or appointed govt officials ever to be in power in US history.
This is what they, Obama, Susan Rice, Hillary Clinton, and all the rest of Obama’s crony henchmen and women represent in this corrupt, immoral, insidious, seditious, traitorous, govt regime.
Take note Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton- aka, Obama stooges.. This is from a real Sec of State-
Sec of State Condoleezza Rice: ‘No country, no not even a rising
China, can do more harm to us than we can do to ourselves’… unquote

Obama now has his very own “Mission Accomplished” moment. He believes in Arab Spring and that democracy is taking hold, and we are safe. He will have his staff push that meme till their gums bleed, and any little outbursts in the region are just local issues and have nothing to do with America. Susan Rice’s gums are bleeding.
• jiminga
Rice is simply an Obamabot who said what she was told to say. Since Hillary decreed DOS would have no further comments until the FBI completed its “investigation” (and subsequently commented anyway), and the FBI refuses to comment about an ongoing investigation, Obama had to send someone out to the talk shows who had no connection to either department. So Rice became the stooge….literally.
Amateurs all.

What I don’t understand is why they would lie and what benefits could be derived from such a stupid statement. When the common American citizen can deduce that the attack in Lybia was a planned affair our leader kept blowing smoke up our backside to say it was over a video.
Is it because our commander in chief failed to attend his security briefings and was caught with his pants down or is there some other nefarious reason for his initial denial. Instead of pointing to the real circumstances he attacks our constitution, namely the first amendment, freedom of speech,
This traitor president hates our constitution because it limits his power, which it was specifically designed to do. Piece by piece he will try to erode the foundations that makes this country great, another four years of this person and anyone right of center will become enemies of the state. | http://www.redstate.com/2012/09/22/susan-rice-liar-or-nincompoop/ | dclm-gs1-035680002 | false | false | {

Sèvres, Treaty of
Ottoman State |parties = |depositor = French Government |languages = French (primary), English, Italian |website = |wikisource = }}
The representatives signed the treaty in Sèvres, France.
The treaty had four signatories, Rıza Tevfik, the grand vizier Damat Ferid Pasha, ambassador Hadi Pasha and the minister of education Reşid Halis who were endorsed by Sultan Mehmed VI. The treaty was not sent to Ottoman Parliament for ratification, as it was abolished on March 18 1920 by the British, during the occupation of Istanbul. The treaty was never ratified by the Ottoman Empire.
Of the Principal Allied powers it excluded the United States. Russia was also excluded because it had negotiated the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with the Ottoman Empire in 1918. In that treaty, at the insistence of the Grand Vizier Talat Pasha, the Ottoman Empire regained the lands Russia had captured in the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878), specifically Ardahan, Kars, and Batumi. Sir George Dixon Grahame signed for Great Britain, Alexandre Millerand for France and Count Lelio Bonin Longare for Italy.
Among the other Allied powers; Greece did not accept the drawn borders and never ratified. Avetis Aharonian, the President of the Delegation of Democratic Republic of Armenia which also signed the Treaty of Batum on June 4, 1918 was the signature of this treaty.
Aims of the victors
The leaders of France, Britain, and the United States had stated their differing objectives with respect to the Ottoman Empire during the Paris Peace Conference, 1919. The common theme was that the sick man of Europe had come to his own end. However it was a shock to the whole World when the Treaty said that the Allies were in agreement keeping the Ottoman Government of Istanbul, which remained the capital of the Ottoman Empire, though with the reservations of the conditions of the treaty. The Treaty seemed to have accomplished [though on paper] the expulsion of the Ottoman Empire from Europe. The Treaty of Sèvres imposed terms so severe that British policy seemed to have succeeded in strangling the sick man of Europe in his sick-bed in Asia Minor. This had been the dream of Christianity for nearly five hundred years beginning with the Holy Leagues, the Ottoman Empire put into a condition such that it can never be revived again in its old form.
United States, having refused the Armenian mandate in its Senate, decided to have nothing to do. United States wanted the creation of a permanent peace as quickly as possible, with financial compensation for its military expenditures. However after the American Senate rejected the Armenian mandate on Wilsonian Armenia, and it could only be included in the Treaty through Venizelos. Wilson called Venizelos the greatest figure among the statesmen of the conference.
Treaty terms
The treaty solidified the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire, in accord with secret agreements among the Allied Powers.
Kingdom of Hejaz
The Kingdom of Hejaz was granted international recognition. Estimated area of 100,000 square miles, and population of about 750,000. The biggest cities were Holy Places, namely, Mecca, with a population of 80,000, and Medina, with a population of 40,000. It formerly constituted the vilayet of Hejaz, but during the war became an independent kingdom under British influence.
Democratic Republic of Armenia is recognized as an established state by the signed parties. This was the first international recognition.
The Armenia assumed financial responsibilities on account of the transfer of the territory.
Ottoman Empire
The Allies were to control the Empire's finances. The financial control extended to the approval or supervision of the national budget, financial laws and regulations, and the total control on the Ottoman Bank [currency control through central bank of empire]. The Ottoman Public Debt Administration of the Ottoman Public Debt was redesigned by including only British, French and Italians. Also the capitulations of the Ottoman Empire being restored to prior to 1914. Capitulations were abolished in the first year of the war by Talaat Pasha. The control also extended to import and export duties, to the reorganization of the electoral system, and to the proportional representation of the races within the Empire. Empire was required to grant freedom of transit to persons, goods, vessels, etc., passing through her territory, and such goods transit in transit are to be free of all customs duties.
Future developments of the tax system, the customs system, internal or external loans, or on concessions could not be arranged without the consent of the financial commission of the Allied powers. To forestall the economic repenetration of Germany, Austria, Hungary, or Bulgaria the treaty demanded that the Empire liquidate the property of citizens of those countries in its territories. If public liquidation will be turned over to the Reparations Commission. Property rights in Baghdad Railway passed out of German control.
Military restrictions
The Ottoman Army was to be restricted to 50,000 men; the Ottoman navy could only preserve seven sloops and six torpedo boats; and the Ottoman state was prohibited from obtaining an air force.
The treaty included an Inter-allied commission of control and organization to supervise the execution of the military clauses.
International trials
France (Zone of influence)
France received Syria and neighbouring parts of Southeastern Anatolia, including Antep, Urfa and Mardin. Cilicia including Adana, Kurdistan around Diyarbakır and large portions of East-Central Anatolia all the way up north to Sivas and Tokat were declared a zone of French influence.
Greece (Zone of Smyrna)
The occupation of Izmir, established Greek administration on May 21 1919. This was followed by the declaration of a protectorate on July 30 1922. The Treaty transferred the "the exercise of her rights of sovereignty to a local parliament" but leaving the region under Ottoman Empire. According to the provisions of the Treaty, Smyrna was to administered by a local parliament and, if within five years time she asked to be incorporated to the Kingdom of Greece, the provision was made that the League of Nations would hold a plebiscite to decide on such matters.
The treaty accepted the Greek administiration of the Smyrna enclave, however its sovereignty remained, nominally, with the Sultan.
Italy (Zone of influence)
Italy was confirmed in the possession of the Dodecanese Islands (already under Italian occupation since the Italo-Turkish War of 1911–1912, despite the Treaty of Ouchy according to which Italy was obliged to return the islands back to the Ottoman Empire). Large portions of Southern and West-Central Anatolia (the Mediterranean coast of Turkey and the inlands) including the port city of Antalya and the historic Seljuk capital of Konya were declared an Italian zone of influence.
There was no general agreement among Kurds on what its borders should be, due to the disparity between the areas of Kurdish settlement and the political and administrative boundaries of the region. The outlines of a "Kurdistan" as an entity were proposed in 1919 by Şerif Pasha, who represented the Society for the Ascension of Kurdistan (Kürdistan Teali Cemiyeti) at the Paris Peace Conference. He defined the region's boundaries as follows:
This caused controversy among other Kurdish nationalists, as it excluded the Van region (possibly as a sop to Armenian claims to that region). Emin Ali Bedirhan proposed an alternative map which included Van and an outlet to the sea via Turkey's present Hatay Province. Amid a joint declaration by Kurdish and Armenian delegations, Kurdish claims on Erzurum vilayet and Sassoun (Sason) were dropped but arguments for sovereignty over Ağrı and Muş remained.
Neither of these proposals was endorsed by the treaty of Sèvres, which outlined a truncated Kurdistan located on what is now Turkish territory (leaving out the Kurds of Iran, British-controlled Iraq and French-controlled Syria. However, even that plan was never implemented as the Treaty of Sèvres was replaced by the Treaty of Lausanne. The current Iraq-Turkey border was agreed in July 1926.

Ottoman Empire
Wilsonian Armenia
Zone of Straits
Zone of Straits was planned to be established. One of the most important points of treaty was the provision that the navigation was to be open in Dardanelles in time of peace and war alike to all vessels of commerce and war, no matter under what flag. This was internationalization. The waters were not to be subject to blockade, nor could any act of war be committed there, except in enforcing the decisions of the League of Nations.
It included not only the Straits proper but also the Bosporus and the Sea of Marmara.
Free zones
Certain ports were to be declared to be of international interest. The League of Nations were completely free and absolute equality in treatment, particularly in the matter of charges and facilities insuring the carrying out of the economic provisions in commercially strategic places. These regions will be named as the "free zones." The ports were: Constantinople from St. Stefano to DolmaBahce, Haidar-Pasha, Smyrna, Alexandretta, Haifa, Basra, Trabzon, and Batum.
Thrace, up to the Chatalja line, islands of Imbros and Tenedos, and the islands of Marmara ceded to Greece. The sea line of these islands declared international and left to administration of "Zone of Straits."
Wilsonian Armenia
Armenia was given a large part of the region according to the border fixed by President of the United States of America which was referred as "Wilsonian Armenia"; including provinces which didn't have significant Armenian populations remaining after the Armenian Genocide, such as the Black Sea port city of Trabzon.
British Mandate of Iraq
The details as reflected to the treaty regarding the British Mandate of Iraq was completed on April 25, 1920, at the San Remo conference.
Oil concession in this region was given to the British-controlled Turkish Petroleum Company (TPC) which had held concessionary rights to the Mosul wilaya (province). With elimination of the Ottoman Empire with this treaty, British and Iraqi negotiators held acrimonious discussions over the new oil concession. The League of Nations vote on the disposition of Mosul, and the Iraqis feared that, without British support, Iraq would lose the area. In March 1925, the TPC renamed to the Iraq Petroleum Company (IPC), was granted a full and complete concession for a period of seventy-five years.
British Mandate for Palestine
In the Treaty of Serves, Palestine was merely an unbounded geographical expression:
It eventually comprised territory in modern-day Jordan, Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
French Mandate of Lebanon
The mandate settled to France at the San Remo Conference. Comprising the region between the Euphrates river and the Syrian desert on the east, and the Mediterranean sea on the west, and extending from the Alma Dagh Mountains on the south to Egypt on the south; Area of territory about 60,000 square miles with a population of about 3,000,000. Lebanon and an enlarged Syria, which were later assigned again under League of Nations Mandate. The region was divided under the French into four governments as follows: Government of Aleppo from the Euphrates region to the Mediterranean; Great Lebanon extending from Tripoli to Palestine; Damascus, including Damascus, Hama, Hems, and the Hauran; and the country of Mount Arisarieh.
French Mandate of Syria
Reaction to the treaty
While the treaty was under discussion, the Turkish national movement under Mustafa Kemal Pasha split with the monarchy based in Constantinople, set up a Turkish Grand National Assembly in Ankara, successfully fought the Turkish War of Independence and forced the former wartime Allies to return to the negotiating table. Arabs were unwilling to accept the French rule in Syria, the Turks around Mosul were attacking the British, the Arabs were in arms against the British rule in Baghdad. There was also disorder in Egypt.
Subsequent treaties
In course of the Turkish War of Independence, they successfully resisted Greek, Armenian and French forces and secured a territory similar to that of present-day Turkey.
The Turkish national movement developed its own international relations by the Treaty of Moscow with the Soviet Union on 16 March 1921, the Accord of Ankara with France putting an end to the Franco-Turkish War, and the Treaty of Alexandropol and the Treaty of Kars fixing the eastern borders.
These events forced the former Allies of World War I to return back to the negotiating table with the Turks and in 1923 negotiate the Treaty of Lausanne, which replaced the Treaty of Sèvres and recovered large territory in Anatolia and Thrace for the Turks.

0.239653 | <urn:uuid:df756333-547a-4a3f-94ea-67380b6517a2> | en | 0.909197 | A homeobox is a DNA sequence found within genes that are involved in the regulation of patterns of development (morphogenesis) in animals, fungi and plants. Genes that have a homeobox are called homeobox genes and form the homeobox gene family.
The most studied and the most conserved group of homeodomain protein are the Hox genes, which control segmental patterning during development; however, not all homeodomain proteins are Hox proteins.
They were discovered independently in 1983 by Walter Jakob Gehring and his colleagues at the University of Basel, Switzerland, and Matthew Scott and Amy Weiner, who were then working with Thomas Kaufman at Indiana University in Bloomington.
A homeobox is about 180 base pairs long; it encodes a protein domain (the homeodomain) which can bind DNA.
Homeobox genes encode transcription factors which typically switch on cascades of other genes. The homeodomain binds DNA in a specific manner.
However, the specificity of a single homeodomain protein is usually not enough to recognize only its desired target genes. Most of the time, homeodomain proteins act in the promoter region of their target genes as complexes with other transcription factors, often also homeodomain proteins. Such complexes have a much higher target specificity than a single homeodomain protein.
Hox genes
Molecular evidence shows that some limited number of Hox genes have existed in the Cnidaria since before the earliest true Bilatera, making these genes pre-Paleozoic. They are essential metazoan genes as they determine the identity of embryonic regions along the anterio-posterior axis.
In vertebrates the 4 paralogue clusters are partially redundant in function, but have also acquired several derived functions in particular HoxA and HoxD specify the segment identity along the limb axis.
The main interest in this set of genes stems is their unique behaviour. They are mostly found clustered together and the order they are found generally matches the order of regions they affect and their timing, a phenomenon called colinearity. Due to this balance, generally, when one gene is lost the segment becomes a more anterior one, while a gain of function mutant (ectopic) will be more posterior, famous examples of these are Antennapedia and bithorax in Drosophila.
The homeobox genes were first found in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and have subsequently been identified in many other species, from insects to reptiles and mammals.
Homeobox genes were previously only identified in bilaterians but recently, cnidarians have also been found to contain homeobox domains and the "missing link" in the evolution between the two has been identified.
Homeobox genes have even been found in fungi, for example the unicellular yeasts, and in plants.
The well known homeotic genes in plants (MADS-box genes) are not homologous to Hox genes in animals. Plants and animals do not share the same homeotic genes, and this suggests that homeotic genes arose independently in the early evolution of animals and plants.
Human genes
Humans generally contain homeobox genes in four clusters:

HOXA (or sometimes HOX1) - chromosome 7 HOXA1, HOXA2, HOXA3, HOXA4, HOXA5, HOXA6, HOXA7, HOXA9, HOXA10, HOXA11, HOXA13
HOXC - chromosome 12 HOXC4, HOXC5, HOXC6, HOXC8, HOXC9, HOXC10, HOXC11, HOXC12, HOXC13
HOXD - chromosome 2 HOXD1, HOXD3, HOXD4, HOXD8, HOXC9, HOXD10, HOXD11, HOXD12, HOXD13
There is also a "distal-less homeobox" family: DLX1, DLX2, DLX3, DLX4, DLX, and DLX6.
"HESX homeobox 1" is also known as HESX1.
Short stature homeobox gene is also known as SHOX. also a home gene controls the diffirensation of cells and tissue in the embryo.
Mutations to homeobox genes can produce easily visible phenotypic changes.

ABSTRACT Low-frequency oscillations (<0.08 Hz) have been detected in functional magnetic resonance imaging studies, and appear to be synchronized between functionally related areas. The effect of anesthetic agents on cortical activity is not completely characterized. This study assessed the effect of anesthesia on the temporal relations in activity in the motor cortices. Resting-state magnetic resonance data were acquired on six volunteers under different anesthetic states (using 0.0%, 2.0% and 1.0% stable end-tidal sevoflurane). Across all volunteers, the number of significant voxels (p<2.5 x 10) in the functional connectivity maps was reduced by 78% for light anesthesia and by 98% for deep anesthesia, compared with the awake state. Additionally, significant correlations in the connectivity maps were bilateral in the awake state but unilateral in the light anesthesia state.

ABSTRACT: A previous report of correlations in low-frequency resting-state fluctuations between right and left hemisphere motor cortices in rapidly sampled single-slice echoplanar data is confirmed using a whole-body echoplanar MRI scanner at 1.5 T. These correlations are extended to lower sampling rate multislice echoplanar acquisitions and other right/left hemisphere-symmetric functional cortices. The specificity of the correlations in the lower sampling-rate acquisitions is lower due to cardiac and respiratory-cycle effects which are aliased into the pass-band of the low-pass filter. Data are combined for three normal right-handed male subjects. Correlations to left hemisphere motor cortex, visual cortex, and amygdala are measured in long resting-state scans.

ABSTRACT: In subjects who are performing no prescribed cognitive task, functional connectivity mapped with MR imaging (fcMRI) shows regions with synchronous fluctuations of cerebral blood flow. When specific tasks are performed, functional MR imaging (fMRI) can map locations in which regional cerebral blood flow increases synchronously with the performance of the task. We tested the hypothesis that fcMRI maps, based on the synchrony of low-frequency blood flow fluctuations, identify brain regions that show activation on fMRI maps of sensorimotor, visual, language, and auditory tasks. In four volunteers, task-activation fMRI and functional connectivity (resting-state) fcMRI data were acquired. A small region of interest (in an area that showed maximal task activation) was chosen, and the correlation coefficient of the corresponding resting-state signal with the signal of all other voxels in the resting data set was calculated. The correlation coefficient was decomposed into frequency components and its distribution determined for each fcMRI map. The fcMRI maps were compared with the fMRI maps. For each task, fcMRI maps based on one to four seed voxel(s) produced clusters of voxels in regions of eloquent cortex. For each fMRI map a closely corresponding fcMRI map was obtained. The frequencies that predominated in the cross-correlation coefficients for the functionally related regions were below 0.1 Hz. Functionally related brain regions can be identified by means of their synchronous slow fluctuations in signal intensity. Such blood flow synchrony can be detected in sensorimotor areas, expressive and receptive language regions, and the visual cortex by fcMRI. Regions identified by the slow synchronous fluctuations are similar to those activated by motor, language, or visual tasks.

The problem with Communism was not about too little distribution, it was always about too much!
When everybody gets the same, there was no incentive for anybody to work hard, to innovate. Everybody made the same. That’s the reason why Communist economies failed. That’s why Marxism failed, not because Marx himself ever championed repressive attacks against human rights( now, what those seem to always happen in Communist regime is the million dollar question that political scientists never yet managed to explain). In fact, Communism, on paper, is a Utopian theory; the problem is that it did not work as an economic theory. And when it didn’t work, instead of realizing that Marx’s Communism is a failed economic paradigm, they unleashed their wrath at the rich, hence the horrible Cultural Revolution. It’s as if the Occupy Movement got too powerful and became mobs that inflict horrible human rights violation against innocent entrepreneurs who had never committed any ethical violation but happened to be rich! That’s the other side of the coin.

The economic boom has definitely created a massive income gap between the urban and rural dwellers in China. Just the moderately affluent urbanites have attained substantial discretionary income, enough to make purchases such as upscale European goods, electronic items, jewelry or luxury vehicles on a regular basis, often at a 40% or even 80% markup when compared to U.S. prices. The purchases are not funded with loans either as cash is still king there. Something had to be give eventually.

CARSON, CA - SEPTEMBER 15: Chris Wondolowski #8 of the San Jose Earthquakes and Shalrie Joseph #18 of Chivas USA vie for position to the ball during the MLS match at The Home Depot Center on September 15, 2012 in Carson, California. The Earthquakes defeated Chivas USA 2-0. (Photo by Victor Decolongon/Getty Images)
Sure, MLS is still a league driven by parity but the results are starting to become at least reasonably predictable.
What is happening this season is really somewhat remarkable. For the first time in a long time, MLS results are almost predictable. The good teams are mostly beating the bad teams and the home teams are winning with alarming regularity. Parity is still a very real force, but there is a noticeable gap starting to develop and that is not a bad thing.
This week's power rankings are themed by Stone Roses.
Your Star Will Shine
1. San Jose Earthquakes (Average ranking: 1.0; Last week's average: 1.0): The Supporters' Shield is not mathematically locked up, but with the way the Quakes are playing right now it's just about impossible to see anyone catching them. They could win just half of their final six games and still be reasonably assured to lifting it for the first time since 2005.
2. Sporting Kansas City (2.87; 2.5): Have quietly not lost a competitive match since July 28 and are doing just enough to hang around the race for the Shield. Their closing stretch should be tough, though.
2. Seattle Sounders (2.87; 2.75): Did not get the result they wanted on the road against the Timbers, but the tie kept them in strong playoff position. Big test this week against the Earthquakes.
Breaking Into Heaven
4. New York Red Bulls (4.53; 4.44): Have you seen Thierry Henry's olimpico goal from this weekend? Go watch it and tell me it's not one of the coolest things you've seen.
5. Chicago Fire (5.13; 6.75): I can guarantee people are still going to complain about their spot in the ranking, but it's pretty clear they are a contender in the East. Looking at their final six games, they might well be the favorite to win it.
6. LA Galaxy (6.47; 7.06): Charging up the rankings and looking very much like the team that we expected to see at the start of the year. Couldn't come at a better time.
7. Real Salt Lake (6.67; 5.88): A week off will hopefully do them some good as they are going through one of those stretches where the breaks don't seem to be going their way.
8. Houston Dynamo (6.87; 6.38): Doing just enough to hang around in the discussion for who will win the East. Their midfield hasn't quite gelled like we had expected, but there's still some time to fix that.
Fools Gold
9. Columbus Crew (8.93; 9.5): Momentum stopped. The head-long charge of the standings has been put on hold after a pair of frustrating losses and now we'll see just what this team can do with their backs against the wall.
10. D.C. United (10.4; 10.13): Not the most convincing win, but it was enough to vault them back into playoff position. The odds still seem to be stacked against them, though, as the absence of Dwayne DeRosario is sure to be felt.
11. FC Dallas (11.13; 12.44): Needed to beat the Whitecaps and did just that. Still have a bit more ground to make up, but the amount of help they'll need is not so significant anymore.
Driving South
12. Vancouver Whitecaps (12.2; 11.44): Five straight losses in which they've been outscored 9-1 have left them on the precipice of one of the bigger collapses of all time. Whether it was poor personnel moves or just luck catching up with them, it's remarkable how bad it has turned.
12. Montreal Impact (12.2; 11.63): We can go ahead and put a fork in their playoff hopes. They made a nice run, but they've just run out of road.
14. Philadelphia Union (15.0; 14.88): After putting together a nice run in the middle of the season, there are going to be some very tough questions being asked this offseason.
15. New England Revolution (15.67; 15.5): How do you measure progress? You can bet that Jay Heaps will want to do it in ways that aren't easy to quantify.
16. Colorado Rapids (15.87; 15.69): Oscar Pareja is surely discovering that shortness of breath is not just about being a mile above sea level as calls for his head are growing increasingly loud.
17. Chivas USA (16.87; 16.38): It's getting harder and harder to offer up any kind of defense for Robin Fraser to keep his job as the losses are piling up at an alarming pace.
17. Portland Timbers (16.87; 17.88): Their last vestige of hope was winning the Cascadia Cup. That's still a possibility, but now they'll have to do it on the road where they've had some historical struggles.
19. Toronto FC (18.47; 18.38): Paul Mariner would like you to believe that he's just cleaning up someone else's mess. Don't believe it.
How the poll works: Each voter ranks the teams from 1-19. The teams are then ordered by average, with the lowest average going first and so on. The editor then splits the rankings into five tiers, looking for natural breaks in the averages. We then pick some kind of group of songs to theme them to.
Who participated: Jeremiah Oshan (SB Nation, soccer); Aaron Campeau (SB Nation, soccer); Ryan Rosenblatt (SB Nation, soccer); Drew Epperley (SB Nation, soccer); Jason Anderson (SB Nation, soccer); Phillip Quin (SB Nation, soccer); Martin Shatzer (Black and Red United); Scott Kessler (Brotherly Game); Denzel Eslinger (RSL Soapbox); Robert Jonas (Quake, Rattle and Goal); Daniel Robertson (Big D Soccer); Dave Clark and Josh Yockey (Sounder at Heart); Duncan Fletcher (Waking the Red), Steve Stoehr (The Bent Musket); Ben Schneider (Once a Metro); Alicia Ratterree (The Goat Parade); Brenton Walters (The Vancouver Whitecaps Offside); Geoff Gibson (Stumptown Footy); Sofiane Benzaza (Mount Royal Soccer); Alex Englen (The Daily Wiz); Rudy Gomez and Ryan Sealock (Hot Time In Old Town).

8:00pm EDT July 26, 2008
Unified communications (UC) is one of the hottest discussions in the communications world today. It means different things to different people and is defined by different vendors to suit their offerings and target market. Many use it synonymously with unified messaging, which it’s not. It’s more expansive than that, says Margi Shaw, Chief Operations Officer of CIMCO Communications.
The research organization Frost & Sullivan defines unified communications as follows: “Unified communications is the evolution of telephone, e-mail and instant messaging functionality into a single service or application. This is not an evolution of technology but an evolution in the way workers and companies deploy and use their communications services.”
Because it is an evolutionary approach, the definition will continue to be vague or change in its specificity.
Smart Business spoke with Shaw to get a better understanding of which product suites, technologies and applications fall under the UC umbrella and the overall impact of UC on the work-place.
Are businesses required to develop a UC solution all at once, or can it be implemented in phases?
There appears to be no clear view of the future, so taking a building block approach is the one viewed as a more desirable and prudent strategy. Premise-based or hosted voice services form the building blocks of a UC solution, where additional applications can be integrated down the road. Industry research tells us that 80 percent of businesses are using some type of UC solution, and it usually starts with VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol).
In our experience, we have found that many companies are not convinced of the new UC applications. Most are sticking with their existing IP PBXs and layering UC applications on top, which means they are undertaking phased approaches.
What are the benefits and advantages of going to UC? How can we determine which solution is best for us?
The world is moving toward a complete UC solution, despite the fact we really don’t know what that will look like in five and 10 years. It is simply an evolution that you will be forced to participate in, so the best approach is to develop a strategic plan with an expert, most likely your voice and data services provider. Most businesses incorporate some kind of UC application for enhanced productivity purposes, particularly as business becomes more virtual and mobile.
Integration required for the UC environment is a complex process. Components typically sitting in the LAN (instant messaging and e-mail) are integrated with network-based mobility, WAN and converged IP-PBX. Latency is still a critical problem for real-time traffic, which refers to both interactive telephone calls (PSTN or VoIP) and instant messaging. In fact, many see real-time communications as the key differentiator between UC and IM, which is a store and forward technology.
What about the human factor of a unified communications world?
We feel, as do many in the industry, that unified communications will transform the workplace and social routines throughout the world. Most discussion around UC is about the technology, but another real issue that should be addressed is the human factor. While unified communications will make employees more productive, it can also be seen as a major contributor to work-related stress as workers continually feel they are on call.
With the plethora of tools such as lap-tops, PDAs, cell phones, e-mail and pagers, there is an ever-widening gap between the amount of information people are expected to keep up with and the amount they can reasonably process. Basically, what it comes down to is that technology is outpacing our ability to use it, and companies need to be realistic about how much technology is too much for their employees to manage.
Will this contribute to employees feeling as though they are working 24/7?
As indicated, companies need to recognize that employees must set boundaries for work-life balance. Those boundaries are different than the traditional ones in the past, with technology that connects employees to their jobs 24/7 and a global economy where employees are accommodating different time zones.
New technology can either overwhelm employees, or can be used to improve productivity without working against the employees and company culture. It’s important to recognize that any new technology in the workplace creates many changes in how information is received, in business processes and in training employees properly to efficiently use it. Change management, change communications and user training are also important to incorporate in the planning of such a major technology change.

Deerhoof vs. Evil
Why "vs." evil, Deerhoof? Wouldn't Deerhoof is Evil be more challenging? No matter, while navigating familiar territory, the 12 songs here show the band is still inspired, and more graceful. The melodicism and gleaming decorative touches of "Behold a Marvel in the Darkness" and "No One Asked to Dance" match a romanticism that is winning. "Secret Mobilization" is a straight-up rocker, and the time-lapse bloom of "I Did Crimes for You" is just about gorgeous. In moving further beyond a Jane Birkin-meets-1990s-noise realm, East Coast counterparts Blonde Redhead seem to have gotten lost as of late. Not Deerhoof. A song from the album and album release show info after the jump.

Andy Murray insists minor injuries are part and parcel of the game
Andy Murray insisted there is no cause for concern over the state of his back after grinding out a straight-sets victory over Mikhail Youzhny to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals for a sixth straight year.
The second seed clutched at his side a few times during Monday's 6-4 7-6 (7/5) 6-1 win on Centre Court, which was a worrying echo of the back troubles during the clay-court season that led to him pulling out of the French Open.
Although the win came in straight sets, there was not the same fluency about Murray's game, with the Scot having to fight back from 5-2 down in the second set and then 5-3 down in the tie-break. He played down worries over his fitness, though, saying: "There's no cause for concern. My back is what it is. It's felt way, way better than it was a few weeks ago."
Murray continued: "There's a few times on the court where you feel things. You just have to find a way of managing those issues and getting through them because a lot of guys have had problems during this slam especially. A lot of guys have had trainers on court and whatnot. So everyone's got little niggles. You just have to manage them and get through it."
Murray retired mid-match against Marcel Granollers in Rome prior to his French Open withdrawal but, in a Wimbledon tournament that has seen more than its fair share of injury problems, only something drastic would put him out. The second seed said: "Now that I'm playing, there's no chance I would stop unless I couldn't hold the racket."
Murray had 20 minutes of additional treatment on his body after leaving the court to try to ensure he is in prime condition for potentially three matches to come, starting with a quarter-final against Fernando Verdasco on Wednesday.
Murray said: "I need to make sure I do all the right things, like ice-bathing, having my massage, and taking care of my body. Obviously, a few weeks ago I missed the French Open. I don't want it to be a case of things creeping back up on me. I want to take care of my body. It's my main priority this tournament."
A tournament of shocks saw possibly the biggest in the match before Murray's as women's number one seed Serena Williams crashed out against Sabine Lisicki to end a 34-match winning streak. It was another reminder that, as inevitable as a final between Murray and Novak Djokovic may look, nothing can be taken for granted.
"She hasn't lost for a long time," said Murray. "So for her to lose at Wimbledon in the fourth round, especially a match where she'd come back, had a lot of chances, it's surprising.
"When those sort of results can happen to a player as good as her, there's absolutely no reason why it can't happen to me. That's why I'm not getting ahead of myself, and no one else should."

HOUSTON - A jury sentenced a Texas man Wednesday to 40 years in prison for killing a neighbor, despite his contention that he was merely standing his ground.
Raul Rodriguez, 47, had faced a possible life sentence.
His attorneys had asked for a five-year sentence, arguing that Rodriguez thought he was within his rights under the state's "stand-your-ground" self-defense law when he fatally shot neighbor Kelly Danaher, 36, in 2010.
Such laws have drawn added scrutiny since Florida's version was invoked by George Zimmerman, the Sanford neighborhood watch volunteer who killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February.
"I believe this is only the beginning of the cases we're going to see" involving "stand your ground" laws, Rodriguez's attorney, Neal Davis, told the Los Angeles Times. He added that "the emotion overwhelmed the law" for the jury because the case involved a sympathetic victim.
Rodriguez must serve at least half of his 40-year sentence before he becomes eligible for parole.
"It's a sentence no one is happy with," Davis said.
Houston prosecutors could not immediately be reached by phone.
Rodriguez was stone-faced as he heard the decision, while Danaher's widow wiped away tears, according to The Houston Chronicle.
Rodriguez, a disabled firefighter and Navy veteran, was convicted June 13 of murdering Danaher after coming over to complain about a noisy birthday party. Rodriguez videotaped his dispute with the elementary school teacher, narrating that he was defending himself and "standing my ground here."
But prosecutors Wednesday excoriated Rodriguez for pretending to cry during the trial, "brainwashing" his wife, who testified on his behalf, and turning his children into "soldiers" willing to lie for him, according to the Chronicle.
Prosecutors argued that the attack wasn't about self-defense, but was premeditated murder by a man who always liked to be in control of his surroundings.
"When you take your gun, your two magazines, your videocamera and your cell phone and you document how you feel, that was premeditated," prosecutor Donna Logan told the jury, according to the Chronicle.
Prosecutor Kelli Johnson told jurors that Rodriguez deserved a hefty sentence, calling him "a miserable human being who wanted to control everything around him."

Advantages and Disadvantages of Wind Energy
Wind energy is a renewable, non-polluting, free resource that is almost always available, and it doesn't rely on non-renewable fossil fuels. It can generate electricity, and it doesn't emit greenhouse gases. The United States Department of Energy estimates that in 1990, the wind power plants in California offset the emission of more than 2.5 billion pounds of carbon dioxide and 15 million pounds of other pollutants that would have otherwise been produced, and there have been many other wind plants that have gone into production since then. There are some pros and cons of wind plants, however.
Issues over Costs
The cost of wind power has dropped dramatically over the past ten years, but it still remains higher than the cost to invest in fossil-fueled power generators. About 80 percent of the cost is in the machinery, and the balance is in site preparation and installation. If you compare the two systems on a "life-cycle" basis, which considers fuel and operating expenses for the life of the generator, wind costs are much more competitive with other technologies, because there's no fuel involved and operating expenses are quite minimal.
Environmental Concerns
Wind power plants have very little impact on the environment, especially compared to fossil-fuel plants; some people are concerned about the noise from the rotor blades. There are also concerns about the height of the towers, and birds and bats being killed by flying into the rotors. Many of these concerns have been addressed by developments in design or placement of the wind plants.
Supply and Transport Issues
One of the major issues of wind plants is the availability of the wind itself. The electricity generated can be stored, if batteries are used, but wind itself cannot be stored. Another issue is the sites themselves. Some of the best sites for wind are located far away from cities that need electric power, so there are costs in getting the electricity where it is needed. Finally, wind power plants may compete for land uses that may be more valued than wind turbines. However, wind turbines are quite compatible with land used for farming or grazing. Wind power is a very attractive alternative energy in many ways.

Damage Per Second.
A person or class specced to do as much damage to enemies as much as possible.

DPS=Damage per second
For example if you do 1,000 damage every second, your dps is 1,000. Usually dps is useful in PvE settings
DPS does NOT=damage, people usually say DPS when they are really taking about pure damage.
Damage- a raw number (IE my force scream crits for 5k damage)
DPS- damage/time (IE my dps is 1700). Most used when talking PvE
Burst- kind of like DPS but instead of a constant rate over time it spikes. (IE you do 500dps, then time abilities and burst to 2000dps, then back down to 500dps) Most used when talking PvP

DPS is relevant to PVE in the context of specific encounters, which usually are what people are doing PVE content for. In other words, the damage is being measured (and sometimes logged and charted) over the period of time you find in a specific encounter, like an operation/raid.

In General Chat, DPS most often refers to a player's role in a group, meaning they're damage-dealers rather than healers or tanks. For instance a 4-player Flashpoint group generally consists of one Tank, one Healer, and two DPS.
"LF2M for Cademimu, Healer and DPS needed" means that one Tank and one DPS player are trying to fill a group for the Cademimu flashpoint, so they are looking for two more players - one healer and one DPS. | http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=591795 | dclm-gs1-036010002 | false | true | {

Stories filed under "volunteers" Fri, 21 Sep 2012 19:39:00 PDT Amanda Palmer Destroys/Saves Musicians; Chances Of 'Hitting It Big' As An Artist Remain Unchanged Tim Cushing following sentence ranks so low on the scale as to be imperceptible:
That was Amanda Palmer's offer to instrumentalists willing to join her on stage during tour appearances. And then the internet exploded for most of five days before Palmer reappeared to say this:
So. Here's the deal. I had 1,600 words assembled in an orderly fashion and was gently (but firmly) herding them through the Amanda Palmer "free as in volunteer musicians" minefield. It was quite possible many of these words, some multisyllable, some a bit sweary, wouldn't make it all the way across. But, it was this close to being a "thing," a monumental defense of Amanda Palmer's absolute right to ask for fans to pitch in on tour despite her having $1.2 million worth of Kickstarting (mostly spent) in her hip pocket.
Because she had every right, no matter how seemingly large the amount at her disposal, to ask people to volunteer to be her sidemen/women. The problem was her critics (and lord, there were quite a few of those) were blinded by all the money she had, especially when comparing it to the money they had. Here's Bob Lefsetz, breaking it down:
They believe she should pay.
Because she raised a million dollars on Kickstarter and they didn’t!
Amanda ankled her major label deal, she makes money on Twitter, she uses the new technologies to both reach people and profit and they don’t like it. They could join in, but then they might fail, and they wouldn’t be able to sit at home at bitch.
But before the (probably) bloated opus could hit the front page, Palmer decided to shell out cash to her volunteers, freeing up the money by shuttling money back and forth between line items, robbing Video to pay Sax Players, as it were.
Was it the right thing to do? No. It wasn't the wrong thing to do, either. It was simply a thing to do. When you're trying to tour and all anyone wants to talk about is whether or not the VOLUNTEER sax player is going to get paid scale or at least, more than hugs, it's often simpler to do the thing that drops the ongoing dialog down to a manageable dull roar, or at least a trifle more supportive roar.
Not paying was never wrong. Take away the crowdfunding aspect (which seems to be what the critics get hung up on) and Palmer's offer is every diehard fan's dream. Get on stage with your favorite artist! Get beer/hugs! In any other situation, there's no controversy. Only people who get to live their dreams for a night and those who get to see others living their dreams. Try these hypothetical offers on for size:
- Lady Gaga, major label artist, sends out an invite for interested fans to jump onstage and perform for a couple of tracks in exchange for discarded wigs, unused wardrobe and travel bottles of Ciroc. (Feel free to substitute a major label artist you can actually tolerate for Lady Gaga, if need be.)
- Indie legend Weezer sends out an open invitation for interested fans to perform onstage with them at their tour stops in exchange for corrective lenses, sweaters and "Pinkerton" CDs rescued from the cutout bin.
- Label-free artist Jonathan Coulton sends out an open invitation for interested fans to perform interpretative dances during his live appearances in exchange for retweets and a 4-song EP dedicated to you and recorded backstage while you wait.
Viewed this way, the same invitation Palmer made sounds like pure gold for diehard fans. Each of these artists is offering a chance for local artists to become local heroes, if only for a night. In exchange for their time, effort and expertise, the contributing fans will walk away $0 richer in direct monetary terms. But who would turn that down? No fan is going to tell one of their favorite bands, "Thanks, but I'd rather be paid." Or, "Not interested. I'd rather watch from a safe distance away."
Palmer's offer is different. It's not different because her offer is any different than the hypotheticals posed above. It's different because of one thing: $1.2 million in transparently spent, crowdsourced dollars.
If Lady Gaga declines to pay supporting volunteers, it's the label's fault for not spotting her enough money to do the show the way she envisioned it. If Weezer does it, it's because working for indie labels means tight margins. If Coulton does it, it's because he has to finance his own touring via ticket, album and merch sales.
But, because Amanda Palmer pre-financed her tour, a majority of her detractors saw "$1.2 million" and wondered if she's blown it all on ridiculous stuff like, well, who knows exactly, but presumably wasteful, more-money-than-brains accoutrements. The debacle turned musicians into accountants and Palmer's actual accountants into a "crazy moebius strip of waste."
But that's ridiculous. Beyond the fact that the source of the money does make her offer wrong, there's the poor underlying argument from some musicians that there's something "wrong," or at least "diminishing" about playing for free. There isn't. Everybody does it.
if my years working as as street performer taught me anything, they taught me to accept help in every way, to never be too proud or afraid to ask for it. i never got pissed at a passerby for not throwing change in my hat. i stood there knowing that maybe 15 people later, maybe 20, maybe 100…someone would. it’s literally an opposite strategy from someone deciding that they, on principle, won’t gig for free.
i’ve built my life as a musician, like many many people in rock and roll, playing for free….a LOT.
or playing for beer.
playing for exposure.
playing for fun.
playing just to be able to sell merch.
playing to do somebody a favor.
playing a benefit to help a cause.
It's also important to note that Palmer was only asking for a little bit of the artists' time. She wasn't asking them to tour with her gratis or even perform the entire show.
Palmer's transparency worked against her. A full breakdown of where that $1.2 million is going has only prompted questions on the validity of some of the line items. Her response that it would cost $35,000 to secure the additional musicians for the entire tour is greeted with "but, but... $1.2 million." It almost seems as though fans were happier when all the money was raised and spent in complete opacity. When the sausage making apparatus was still hidden, and the money routed through middlemen, being invited to jam with your idols was a dream come true. Now, somehow, it's a slap in the face to struggling musicians everywhere?
Artists performing for free do not diminish the art form or drag all other similar artists into a race for the bottom, pricewise. Neither does one artist asking other artists to perform for free. There's nothing disingenuous about this offer. Anyone who thought they were being taken advantage of needed to do nothing more than not respond the offer.
Were these volunteers being screwed? If they were, it was being done so skillfully and pleasurably that they never noticed.
when we handed the musicians their surprise cash backstage in new orleans the other last night, they laughed like mad and said “after ALL THAT, you're going TO PAY US??!!
moreover: i feel like we accidentally put ALL of our volunteer musicians into a weird situation that they didn’t bargain for….they unwittingly signed into a kerfuffle they never asked to join. all they wanted to was to hop on stage, rock out, and drink beer with us, etc.
so you all know: when this all started going down last week, jherek sent an email out to his current list of volunteers telling them that we totally understood if all this controversy was weirding them out. and we gave them an opportunity to pull out, no hard feelings.
since this started, not a single musician has pulled out.
One of the saddest aspects about this whole debacle is that the artists who did decide to play for free were treated as traitors to The Cause simply because they didn't demand to be "treated with respect", respect in this case being dollars. That's some ugly artist-on-artist hate right there. Not that there weren't other sad aspects, what with the internet being involved and all:
I can’t tell you how many “you’re such a stupid cunt” and “i’d pay to travel just to fuck up your gig…if i played violin” tweets i’ve seen in the past few days...
Lots of criticism along the lines of "I'm a classically trained musician and it's hard enough to find paying gigs without rich musicians refusing to pay us for our contributions." Well, it's probably true that it's hard for a violinist or cellist or sax player to find paying gigs, but in no way did Palmer's "unpaid gig" offer hurt you unless you yourself accepted... but then, if you hate the idea so much, why the fuck would you? Just to make a point? Weird thought process. It's as if they believe every artist looking for a cellist or whatever will just point at Amanda Kickstarting Palmer and say, "She doesn't pay, therefore neither do we."
The problem with this "NO UNPAID GIGS" stance is that it only ends up hurting the idealist who take it. You might believe that if enough people turn down unpaid gigs (and make a lot of angry noises about it), then at some point, those needed instrumentalists will run out of artists willing to work for free. If you can manage to hold together a career long enough for every invitation to come accompanied with payment, good on you. You've beaten some very long odds.
Most of this discussion is now academic, as Palmer will be paying all contributing tour musicians from this point forward. That's what living in public does. Transparency is double-edged and every Palmer detractor was seemingly a music school grad with an accounting degree. To her critics, this offer "proves" that her breakdown of the $1.2 million was filled with waste. Now they can pat themselves on the back for righting a wrong and turning "instrumentalist" back into a paying job.
But Palmer paying cash doesn't make the world better for struggling artists, just as paying in beer didn't make it worse. If someone wants to reach the million-dollar-Kickstarter level, they need a whole lot more than one artist paying other artists. And most of these artists who decried the previous situation just aren't up for the level of commitment involved. In fact, most human beings aren't up for it. Living like Amanda F. Palmer isn't easy, and the rewards only come after years and years of killing yourself day in and day out:
You’re just not willing to work that hard.
That the only thing holding you back is you. Amanda does not know the word “no”. And every effort is an investment in her career. Money is secondary. She wanted to raise a million bucks on Kickstarter, did, and now it’s almost all accounted for, profit is next to nothing.
If she sleeps, it’s not for long. I felt lazy just being in her presence. But that’s what it takes to make it today. Hard work. Are you prepared?
And hard work is not e-mailing journalists who don’t care, it’s not badgering people to watch your YouTube clip and like you on Facebook, it’s doing something so good people are drawn to you.
Palmer has delivered the narrative, lived out in public, that if you're willing to run flat-out, day after day, for more than a decade, you can get to this point. And the response from so many musicians to her open invitation was basically: "You made it to the top. Now, lift the rest of us up." You won. Now you owe us.
Everyone got the same offer from Palmer. There's no shame in saying "no." But there's also nothing wrong with saying "yes." Artists, including Palmer herself, have done unpaid gigs for exposure, charity, or simply because they were dying to perform and doing it for free was the only way to get it done. Either way, it's up to the individual. Someone else accepting a perceived screwing from an artist that a thousand armchair accountants have already decided has the money to pay in no way diminishes your chances as an artist. These chances remain what they have been, and will be, for years in either direction: slim to none.
In the end, I'm neither relieved nor disappointed this turned out the way it did. I'm glad that Palmer will be able to concentrate on what she'd clearly rather be doing: touring and entertaining. The Kickstarter money was freely given to her during that campaign, but apparently had plenty of strings attached once she started talking about unpaid gigs. I get the feeling that many of her detractors didn't contribute to the fundraising effort (indeed, it's doubtful that many had even listened to her music -- Steve Albini, along with other commenters in that thread, clearly stated that he hadn't), but it certainly didn't stop them from having strong opinions on how an artist they'd never listened to should spend money they didn't contribute.
I guess it sort of works out for everybody -- musicians get paid and Palmer gets back to work. But no wrongs were righted and the long, hard road to success didn't get any new shortcuts.

Mon, 22 Aug 2011 05:15:28 PDT Would You Volunteer For An Organization That Makes You Sign Away Your Right To Ever Say Anything Negative About It? Mike Masnick sign an extremely overbroad form, forbidding them from saying pretty much anything negative about the organization or anyone associated with it:
According to the form, a recent policy change requires volunteers to sign a form giving up their right to post “any comment or picture” about an “employee, volunteer or client” of Save-A-Pet without their consent. Volunteers must also agree not to post any “negative comments or pictures involving any . . . resident,” nor post any comment that “could be construed as harassment of the public, volunteers or staff,” nor use the Save-a-Pet logo or "organizational material” except on “approved Save-A-Pet flyers." Volunteers who have questions about whether information is “confidential,” or whether any posting is otherwise “appropriate,” are directed to ask the chief administrator for guidance.
As Levy notes in his post, a private organization can make you sign something that gives up your First Amendment rights, but there are some limitations. The bigger concern is just how extensive, broad and ambiguous the limitations are. For example:
The vague language about postings that "could be construed as harassment" is also disturbing. In the course of my practice, I have often seen complaints (and threats of litigation) from companies or political figures who treat mere criticism as harassment. Even the term "harassment" can be dangerously vague. Forbidding speech simply because of how it "could be construed" sweeps far too broadly. And companies often misuse the fact that all of its information is otherwise "confidential" to claim that any criticism that includes such inside information is improper.
Similarly, a posting that is accompanied by a group’s logo, or which reproduces the text of a memo from an organization’s director, is likely to be protected as fair use rather than infringement of entity’s trademark or copyright, to the extent that they are being used to illustrate or demonstrate the points being discussed (as, for example, I have done in this blog post). Yet again Save-A-Pet’s broad form prohibits such innocent uses.
While Levy notes that it appears Save-A-Pet is probably responding to a specific event and is also using a form that it appears to have copied from elsewhere, you really have to wonder if the "cost" of such a form is worth it. It's so aggressive and broad that it's clearly scaring off some potential volunteers (such as the one who sent the form to Levy). But are people saying negative things on Twitter about the organization really such a problem that it outweighs the cost of people being unwilling to volunteer? It seems likely that the cost of such a form greatly outweighs the benefit.
It seems likely that whoever decided to use the form simply never considered the negative consequences of offering such a form. Because, really, all it does is scream out that the organization is really sensitive about any form of criticism -- and makes you wonder if, perhaps, that's because it deserves some.

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 03:35:06 PDT Town Outsources Video Camera Surveillance To Resident Volunteers? Mike Masnick ton of cameras -- more than either San Francisco or Boston, despite a massive difference in size. Then, recognizing how difficult it is to monitor everything, the city turned over the managing of the cameras to a private entity who is employing an army of volunteers to not just watch, but control the cameras, and having them "report" any suspicious activities. The article notes that studies have shown such cameras may be limited in their effectiveness (there's no evidence of a decrease in violent crime from them, but some evidence of a decrease in "property" crime).
Still what's really bizarre is allowing unpaid volunteers to man the cameras -- with even the officials from the city admitting that training for the camera operators has been "informal," but that they try to "weed out voyeurs and anyone who might use the tapes for blackmail or other illegal activity." Well, phew. Doesn't that make you feel more comfortable? And then there's this lovely quote from a local business owner who likes the program: "There's nothing wrong with instilling fear." Er... actually, there are lots of things wrong with it...
This actually reminds me a bit of Jay Walker's (of Priceline fame) old idea of allowing individuals at home to monitor secure locations via video streams to their desktop. The idea there was quite a bit different though. It wasn't to watch over people wandering around a downtown area, but to put the cameras on secure areas where no one should ever be -- and the idea was that multiple people would all have the same boring screens up at the same time, and if suddenly someone did show up, hopefully people would notice it and hit the "someone's there" button, to alert security. That idea didn't go very far, but at least it was limited to areas where there weren't any privacy issues. The Lancaster plan, on the other hand, is just scary.

A new study shows that the longer a cow has been lying down, the more likely it is to stand up, but the reverse is not true. Once up, you cannot predict how soon a cow will lie down again

A new study called Are Cows More Likely to Lie Down the Longer They Stand? adds to our knowledge of what cows do and why they do it.
Some researchers succumb to temptation – hazarding unprovable guesses as to cows' intentions, motivations and desires. Five scientists in Scotland, though, took a careful path, methodically measuring a very specific part of the what, and not guessing too wildly at the why.
Bert Tolkamp, Marie Haskell, Fritha Langford, David Roberts and Colin Morgan, based at the Scottish Agricultural College, published their monograph in the journal Applied Animal Behaviour Science.
It builds upon a large body of work by other researchers. Some of the earlier reports have almost poetical titles. The best in that respect is (in my opinion, at least) a Swedish report called Effects of Milking Frequency on Lying Down and Getting Up Behaviour of Dairy Cows. Its authors, Sara Osterman and Ingrid Redbo of the Kungsängen Research Centre in Uppsala, argue that milking thrice a day – rather than twice – "contributes to increased comfort in high-producing dairy cows".
The Scottish team focused on questions that stem indirectly from that Swedish study.
Tolkamp, Haskell, Langford, Roberts and Morgan set out to test two hypotheses – two educated guesses – about the nature of cowhood.
First, they hypothesized that the longer a cow has been lying down, the more likely it soon will stand up. After gathering lots of what-did-the-cows-do data, they report that yes, this is exactly what happens. Generally speaking, you can't keep a good cow down, not for long, not if the cow is healthy.
Their second hypothesis looked at things the other way round. They predicted the longer a cow has been standing up, the more likely it is to lie down. Here the cows gave them a surprise.
After ruminating over their results, the team decided that no, their expectation was wrong. The truth, they conclude, is that once a cow has stood up, you can't easily predict how soon it will lie down again.
This kind of experiment, if it is to produce trustworthy results, requires a series of careful technical decisions. How many cows should you watch, under what circumstances, and for how long? How can you reliably monitor whether and when each cow has officially stood up or flopped down?
The scientists examined three groups of cows. They attached an electronic sensor to each animal, to automatically note and record the cow's ups and downs. They then validated some of the findings, by watching video recordings of some cows and comparing what they saw with what the sensors had said.
Some mysteries persist. "The question of why some cows had total daily resting times less than half of those achieved by other cows in the same experiment, as well as many other questions", says the report, "remain to be addressed in future research."

The size of her balls. There are three bowling balls in one pic and two in the other. She has a blond monster on her head. In the other pic she does not. Does the size of her balls matter? I have great balls with two degrees, BA, and MA. The size of brain makes me sexy. The comparsion could have been better implemented. I have followed you since your inception. You have a degree Harvey, are you not fondling breasts!

Wow, didn't notice the collar.
I did notice the one on the right is cropped slightly to left.
So the bottom right light and the portion of dude's face are missing. Intentional or is it for a three-dimension feel?
Perhaps it was shot using a viewmaster lens?
It's like her t*ts are coming right at you!

I forgot, Alyssa Milano is a HUGE Dodgers fan and at one point had designed some shirts and stuff for the Dodgers. Maybe the shirt she is wearing is a prototype of what the shirt would look like if they won.

7 Olympic Athletes

I'm honestly surprised we haven't heard the same story about athletes from North Korea.
I'm guessing what keeps them from defecting is the threat of what would be done to the families they left behind if they defected.
Heck, N. Korea already 'punishes' it's athletes who don't bring home medals by sending them to work camps.

Well, do some research on Cameroon, and you'll see why they would want to leave. Great Britain used to govern part of the country which is now in high poverty and are being alienated from the Cameroon government. I don't blame them for trying to seek asylum!

They must have incredibly hard lives to give up their Olympic dreams in favor of having better futures elsewhere. I hope they receive asylum and aren't returned to their countries where they may be hurt, or their families may be hurt in retaliation by the government.

Apply for asylum?! Naw they did apply for Asylum! This is what they do. Many people from west African countries do their best to compete in tournaments, soccer competitions and yes, even the olympics because they are able to get visas to visit other countries to play in these tournaments. The visas may only be for a week sometimes. But then they dissappear and overstay their visas.....That was the plan ALL ALONG. The sad thing is though that many don't realize that other countries don't allow illegals to work in their coutries so these people end up living the same type of impoverished life they had at home.

most of you posting here know nothing about cameroon one of the most peaceful countries in the world, very beautiful and with friendly people it is not a doom place to be it is far better than America or GB. I have been there many times place is wonderful food is supper cool nothing artificial
499 days ago
*****ians, Ghanians, and people from Cameroon are all nice people. In fact Ghanians are know world wide for for their wonderful sense of hospitality and positive attitude. I didn't read where anyone said the people weren't nice. Nor did I read where anyone said that the countries weren't beautiful. Nor did I read where anyone said that Cameroon was not a peaceful place. But I for one speak from experience. Obviously having tasty food and a beautiful land is not enough to satiate people who don't know if the power is going to be on from one day to the next and can't depend on having good water quality and can't find good jobs because there aren't any or live in a place where the money is so devalued that they can NEVER travel to another country because they almost always are denied travel visas because they can't meet the monetary requirements or proof of strong ties to their own country because they don't own anything that we consider to be of value. Some of us DO know what we are talking about. That is why when ever you hear a person from an African country say they are just in the US or any European country for the education and then they are going to go home because they love it there so much.......wait and wait and wait some more for the day they get on the plane to go back home after earnig their degrees. It rarely happens. Why because life their isn't so great and they know it. They might miss loved ones and local food and customs but ony enough to visit their home country from time to time. They rarely go back home. Know what YOU are talking about before you criticize others and ENJOY YOUR DAY!

So what's goin' on in Cameroon that they feel they need to do this?
499 days ago
Good for them. What do you expect?
499 days ago
The truth is, those “athletes” did not disappear these is just another face of the camerounian corruption, these are just ordinary people that pose as athletes, pay a lot money to those in charge of the selection so that they can easily obtain a visa and go to Europe to have a better life, in order to avoid the completion they had to leave.
Cameroun has great athletes but being the best is no longer enough, It’s all about money. If an athlete wants to go to the world cup or Olympics he/ she is required to pay for the ticket, hotel and an addition €5000 to the selection team in the country where the average salary is €150/month.
Most of the great athletes are from poor families and cannot afford that amount of money. Since the rise of Eto’o, the game has changed It’s all about money, performances do no longer count and it’s a shame . recently there was a do***entary on Aljazeera about the football corruption in Cameroun where those victim were given a voice. It would take year to change the mentalities but in the meantime, the young generation of Cameroonians do no longer believe in the world cup or Olympics. We just hope that one day an international committee can be sent to these poor countries during the selection and allow the young generation to live their dreams and participate to something so great and magical like the Olympics or world cup.

How can expand my ram memory 2gb to 8gb in windows 7 32 bit
Last response: in Windows 7
am using win 7 32 bit os. can i expand my ram memory 2 GB to 8GB? any one can tell me how i can expand?
No you cannot, however you can expand your Ram to ~3.5 GB. 32 bit operating systems only use up to that much.
As to how you add the ram, it depends on what your using, your motherboard in particular as to which ram you can use.
Related resources
You can expand it, but a 32 bit operating system can only address up to about 3.4 GB. The most you can put in is 4 GBs with your operating system.
You will have to give us your system specs. Every system is different and can use different ram types.
What motherboard do you have? When you find that out, go to the manufacturers website and find out what ram type you need. DDR2? DDR3? It will say on the website.
Once you find that out, figure out how many ram slots your motherboard has. Probably one or two. Buy a four GB stick or two 2 GB sticks. Unscrew your case and you will see a 2 GB stick of ram already in there. Put in your new stick(s).
Obviously your machine needs to be off when you install your ram sticks. It is very easy and takes just a minute. The only thing we can tell you is to find out your specific system specs and what type of ram your system can use. Then you buy that and install it.
For an installation video, check out youtube. There are a million of them and they will show you exactly what you're looking for. The process is very very easy. I can change my ram sticks in under 1 minute so don't be afraid to get into your system.
a b $ Windows 7
a b } Memory
You can place whatever your MoBo can handle in the available slots. However that won't do any good as 32 bit windows can't see anything over 4 GB, in reality about 3.5. | http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/28767-63-expand-memory-windows | dclm-gs1-036320002 | false | false | {

Your question
Can't set up SSD X3 Raid 0
Last response: in Storage
I recently bought 3 Kingston Hyperx SSD Drives (120GB each) and planned on setting them up in RAID0.
Yes, I'm aware that I lose TRIM support when using raid0 but I wanted these drives like this so all my programs and my OS can be on my SSDs.
Anyways, I have all three of the drives installed and put in a RAID0 array, but windows doesn't want to be able to install to that location.
Motherboard: ASROCK Fatal1ty 990FX
CPU: AMD 6100
SSDs: 3x Kinston HyperX
I don't know how to put pictures in, but I have pictures of each step of the process.
The three drives are in a RAID0 array.
That array is selected as the #1 Boot option.
I put in my Mobo CD to install drivers for windows to be able to see the array when I am choosing where to install it.
The exact error is "Windows is unable to install to the selected location. Error: 0x803000001
More about : set ssd raid
try to get newer drivers from the manufacturer's webside?
my windows saw my raid 0 array out of the box with no drivers necessary while installing it
Related resources
Can someone point me to the correct third party drivers?
I mean, who is the third party? How do I figure out who makes the correct drivers? Is it dependent on Motherboard or SSD manufacturer?
why in the world would you want to install the OS on a disk system that has 3 times more chance of failing than on a single drive?
I've never had a drive fail, knock on wood.
I now have Windows installed on them but boot up isn't any faster. I just feel like the performance is not correct.
there's 2 factors involved in boot up time - the speed of the motherboard to process POST and get everything in check, and then the load of Windows
there's no way to get the load of windows to be less than (just a guess) 25 seconds
so what time are u experiencing now?
You need the SATA drivers for RAID, not the SSD's.
Since you have an AMD CPU, you probably have an AMD chipset that run the SATA controller. THis is the driver you need. Check your mobo manufacture.
Windows (7) only reconizes Intel based chipsets on install (up to Z68?).
And like they all said, one SSD will be enough! You won't notice the difference between 1 SSD and 2 in RAID 0 (if they are SATA 3). So go the way without the risk. | http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/292034-32-raid | dclm-gs1-036330002 | false | false | {

Your question
Kingston 240 gb or samsung 256?
Last response: in Storage
Hi. Im currently looking to buy either a
840 Pro SSD (Bulk) - 256GB or
HyperX 3K Bundle SSD - 240GB
The thing that is holding me off is that with the Samsung SSD you don't get a bundle, like a mounting case as you do with the Kingston bundle.
So which is better of the two? Is the write speed or data speed that much different?
Im going to order it today so any help would be appreciated.
Im buying a SSHD next to either of those two SSD and I use my SSHD and SSD for movies and games plus programs mostly. | http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/297345-32-kingston-samsung | dclm-gs1-036340002 | false | false | {

Your question
So whats the point to the 90nms??
Last response: in CPUs
Im going skt 939 soon and out of curiousity whats the benefit to the winchesters? At 200mhz slower than the clawhammers they have no extra cache to make up for it. Should I spend more and get the newcastle 3500? Or is the cheaper 2.0ghz winchester 3200 capable of anything?
More about : whats point 90nms
90nm Draws less Power, and seems to be a great choice for overclocking.
Winchester is basically the Newcastle core, with a few minor tweaks to better facilitate the die shrink.
I'm not sure what you mean about '200Mhz slower than the clawhammers'... Generally speaking a Newcastle/Winchester will be ~200Mhz <i>faster</i> than a Clawhammer with the same rating (e.g. 3200+ is available as a 2Ghz clawhammer <i>or</i> a 2.2Ghz Newcastle).
They adjust the PR rating to (in theory) reflect the performance increase from the additional cache. However most of the time the 2.2Ghz/512Kb part will beat the 2Ghz/1Mb part - the A64 architecture doesn't benefit from additional cache anywhere near as much as P4's Netburst.
Epox 8RDA+ V1.1 w/ Custom NB HS
XP1700+ @200x11 (~2.2Ghz), 1.55 Vcore
2x256Mb Corsair PC3200LL/1x512Mb Corsair XMS PC4000 2.5-3-3-7
Sapphire 9800Pro (VGA Silencer Rev3) @400/730
They don't have extra cache, but they have dual channel memory controller. Clock vs. Clock, Winchesters are 1-7% faster than Newcastle. But extra 9-10% clock speed always gives 5-7% performance increase, so between equal PR'ed Newcastle and Winchester, Newcastle is slightly faster.
I think there's no point of upgrading to any of these CPUs form your current A64 3000+.

Actually after much long testing of EVERYTHING I had in my system, it was determined my video card problem was it was incompatible with nforce3 chipsets, like many users are reporting even though its an nvidia video card (go figure). This involved testing of 3 brand new Nforce3 250 boards, same problems despite switching all other hardware out ( except HD though Im ruling that out....) So Im switching to VIA, eeek hope it goes well, and figured Id do it on 939 with a new cpu.
Which Nvidia Vid card would be incompatible with an Nvidia chipset? That sounds far-fetched to me or an incredible factory faux pau.
Samsung 120gb ATA-100 - Maxtor 40gb ATA - 100
Sony DRU-510A - Yellowtail Merlot
Different high end Nvidia cards are having problems with Nforce3 chipset.
From fastwrites not working to underpowering which causes stuttering.
Ive now tried 4 different Nforce3 boards, can't get my 6800gt to run right. Popped in ati 9500 and fastwrites and overclocking worked. Popped 6800gt into old Nforce2 board and it did everything like fastwrites and huge overclock.
Theres a huge 15 page thread about this somewhere on another forum of ppl with the same prob. Its unfortunate....
Heres the link but keep something in mind.. They are all isolated incidents, but add up. In other words, while my BFG 6800GT may have probs, the next guy's may not.
SOme fixes fix things for some people, but not without taking away features, while the majority cant fix it at all.
I partially fixed my prob, but had to turn fast writes off. But... now I cant use fastwrites. While popping in my Ati 9500 let me use fastwrites just fine... Either way I still could not overclock at all, yet the BFG overclocked great on an nforce2 board the same day.
It all stinks.
Man that's gotta be a b*tch, but fastwrite doesn't do much performance-wise, so...
But that still sucks, i was just planning getting the Gigabyte Nforce3 board, with a s939 3200+ when it's available in canada, and an albatron 6800GT. Guess going have to do more research before buying. Just curious have you tried updating bios? Maybe that could help.
I have never heard about any video card incompatibiliy issues with nForce3. And nVidia video cards doesn't work with nForce, it's hard to beleive.
I think Fastwrite is guily. It doesn't increase performance, but often cause problems
Ya I am pretty sure I have this turned off but I am too lazy to look.

1. Hala
The most amazing person you will probably ever meet. Really good at dancing, funny, too sexy to even comprehend, just as smart as she is beautiful. Pretty pro-active with anything cool and helpful. If you don't already know a hala you should probably try and met one.

2. Hala
A word spoken to congratulate a persons stupidity.
What's the capital of france?
by Terry Whitcomb February 24, 2005 add a video add an image
A beautiful girl who doesn't know that she's beautiful, and even insists on denying it. Beautiful here doesn't refer to her physical appearance; she may be incredibly sexy but her heart is her true treasure. She's soft and tender like the inside of a rose, she's reserved and closed like its outside. On the outside a rose's color is faded, on the inside it is the most beautiful and passionate color of red seen by man. Her thorns stubbornly draw blood to resist human touch and they succeed at keeping people away. She doesn't let her guard down easily because she refuses to show glimpses of her vulnerable beauty to those who don't deserve it. Don't let her innocent smile fool you, it hides the deepest secrets. Don't let her sweet eyes fool you, they're fearless. If you are worthy, she alone will let you inside her heart. If you are worthy, she will love you like no other, and you will heal.
Person 1: Maaan I thought she was into me but it turns out she's not. I can't figure her out. She confuses me.
Person 2: She's Hala, what do you expect?
4. Hala
A filipino expression of dread. Can mean "Oh no!"
Can also be used in shock or surprise, often with something negative or astounding.
"Hala, nasira yung tv!"
meaning "Oh no, the TV's broken!"
"Hala! Umuulan na!"
meaning "Oh! It's raining!"
5. Halas
A god like creature, known for great sex and success.
I wish I was like Halas
6. Halas
A word in Arabic, that is also used in Hebrew and some other Semitic languages, meaning "stop it" or "enough".
Ahmed: Dad, how long 'til we get there?
Abu-Ahmed: Halas with your questions! Be quiet now.
It's an abbreviation for 'having a laugh attack.'
My cousin made it up like a minute ago.
Me: Dude, remember when we dropped the gum on the floor and picked it back up, even though it was covered in like dirt and other shit?
Me: Same!

We were never angry, castanets rang, Jim Morrison chanted in the night. The end he said, this is the end my friend rang in you pillow. Everyone around said "enjoy" Let's go to my place, what's your name, you said Tom? I have the munchies, you?Get chickpeas, 2 avocados and some Mateus, do you have sandals, your hair been purple a long time, who did it being to your waist? See "Hair" yet, oh do child.
Greenwich Village was the new culture petri dish in the 60's growth and birdcages walked the streets. Washington Square folk songs and beauty wore a slight tank top with Jimmy Hendricks smeared in front. At 10 PM cool horns flowed out from the open doors of The Village Gate, the newest trends were sold on West 8th Street. With a pizza slice in my mitt handball played with the Village professionals. It was grand once, Viet Nam was ever so hot it took most of your wind, there was body counts on the 6 o'clock news and photo details of fire from guns, soldiers trying to stay alive in your comfy living room, you eating potato chips drinking a beer.

Thank you, Karina, this was a wonderful interview. I actually found myself a bit annoyed upon viewing the film at Tribeca, but now, I want to give it another look... Perhaps Delpy's strength is truly in her insistence upon showing all of herself, completely- even those intolerable, disingenuous, adorable, wise parts-which make up our whole....

---- Keywords should really be KeyPhrases ?
Robert_Charlton - 7:51 am on Jun 5, 2009 (gmt 0)
I don't like "keywords" at all to describe targeted words or phrases. It's very easy to get "keywords" mixed up with "meta keywords," and I think a lot of newbies in particular get extremely confused by this. For that reason, some years back I suggested that the name of this forum be changed, but no one got enthusiastic about the idea. ;)
I generally say "search terms" or "search targets" when I discuss initial word/phrase suggestions with clients, and I offer a little explanation that we're just talking about the words that people are likely to type into the search box, and there's nothing technical about what we call them.

Girly Glam and a Great Harvest
Posted Jan 20 2013 6:00am
It's that time of year when the holidays are over and Valentine's Day is still far, far away (okay, a few weeks - but it's too early too get excited about it yet).
It's easy to get into a bit of a slump at this time of year, so it's more important than ever to take some time to do something nice for yourself. Why? Because you're worth it!
My suggestion?
Treat yourself to a healthy breakfast (or snack) that tastes every bit as good as it is for you! Being healthy makes you feel good and feeling good is great :)
Whole grains are good for your energy levels, heart, hair, figure, and a whole lot of other things. Plus, a good whole grain treat can be so much more delicious than a nutritionally void loaf of white Wonderbread (the only wonder is how a full sized slice of bread can squish down into a ball no bigger than a quarter).
Great Harvest Bread Company has franchises all over the US, including one in Friendly Shopping Center in Greensboro, NC (where I live)! I stopped by the bakery the other day to pick up some whole grain goodies to try.
It's a small shop, but very welcoming.
Even half an hour before closing (the bakery is open 7:30am-6:30pm Monday through Saturday) there were several loaves of bread on the shelves under the big chalk menu board, as well as several generous slices of bread on the counter for visitors to try (for free)!
There were also still a good number of whole grain cinnamon rolls, muffins, and brownies/bars in the display case.
All of which looked very tempting!
Sheila packed a big box full of healthy treats for me to try.
I'll start with the oatmeal.
It's packed with dried fruits and nuts, providing natural sweetness, crunch, and added vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The mix also includes nonfat dry milk for additional protein and calcium!
Since there's already nonfat dry milk in the mix, all you need to do is add some water...
Then cook it in the microwave (instructions are on the back of the bag).
The dried fruits plump up delightfully and the milk powder adds some extra creaminess that other instant oatmeal packets lack.
I also really like that this oatmeal gets its sweetness from the dried fruits, not lots and lots of added sugar. Sticking to just the natural flavors allows the whole grain oats to shine!
And if you don't want to follow the rules, I think it tastes delicious uncooked with milk instead of water.
But as great as their oatmeal is, it is Great Harvest Bread Co.
And the breads really do shine. I've had their Dakota bread before (available on Mondays and Fridays this month). It's been my favorite bread since forever so my mom always buys it for me on my birthday. But I hadn't tried the three breads Sheila packed for me!
I was delighted to find that they're really, really yummy, too!
The High 5 Fiber bread is packed with seeds and has a delicious whole grain taste.
The loaves are all quite dense and heavy, because they're whole grain, but they're not at all hockey puck-ish. They're soft and delicious, baked fresh every day!
The raisins and walnuts worked well together in the Raisin Walnut Whole Wheat loaf, but my family's favorite of the three was the High Protein Country Crunch.
It isn't vegan (some of that protein comes from egg whites) -
- but it's all whole grain with a variety of delicious grains - oats, quinoa, whole wheat, etc.!
I love how this loaf (like my beloved Dakota) is studded with millet. Millet is not only a high protein ancient grain, but it's also absolutely delicious!
The crunchy, nutty millet (along with all of the nuts and seeds in the loaf) paired with the soft texture of this mild whole wheat bread make this bread extremely crave-worthy.
You'll want to eat it plain (it's that good) but if you can restrain yourself long enough to add some butter and jam it's even better.
I'm pretty convinced that this would convert any non-breakfast-eater. You'll go to bed eager for the sun to come up, so that you can have breakfast again!
No matter which loaf you choose (or even if you go for the oatmeal) you're guaranteed a healthy stick-to-your-ribs breakfast that won't leave your stomach growling just an hour later.
Sheila and Kevin Barth at Great Harvest also have you covered if you want a healthy pastry for breakfast.
They're big and fluffy and soft and sweet, but not too sweet. They're nice and hearty and a healthier alternative to highly processed breakfast cakes.
They're also just plain delicious.
The blueberry muffin has big, juicy blueberries generously scattered throughout. They're absolutely bursting with natural sweetness and pair delightfully with the buttery, hearty muffin.
The banana nut muffin has plenty of walnuts on top, instead of just a sugary streusel.
But it really shines when you cut it open (or bite into it).
The muffin is packed with even more walnuts inside, as well as plenty of super sweet, soft baked banana chunks. This muffin is scrumptious as is, but even more mind-blowing with a little peanut butter.
Great Harvest even has a vegan option for muffin-lovers.
I'd recommend stopping by Great Harvest if you're in the Greensboro area. The treats are so yummy and they're great for you, too! You can try a slice of bread, pick up some more for later, and even get something for your furry friend.
Isn't it cute that they make dog treats? Now 'Fido' doesn't have to be left out when you stop by the bakery!
After your healthy breakfast, get all dressed up and go shopping with your girls! Even if it's just window shopping followed by a nice (Groupon or LivingSocial purchased) lunch/dinner, for those of us are on a budget, you'll still feel like a socialite!
If you can handle the heels, here's a look that I really like:
Girly by livelearneat featuring essie nail polish
$550 -
$545 -
$4.80 -
If you can't (no shame, I'm still working on it myself) a cute pair of flats will do the trick, too.
What's the last fun thing you did?
Do you have a pet?
Which of the above breakfast (or snack) options looks best to you?

cramping at the lower right abdominal side and delayed menstruation
Posted by sofia
I am experiencing cramps at the lower right side of my abdomen. I am also 3 weeks delayed in my period, which doesn't happen before. My boyfriend and I had oral sex two weeks ago and he sweared he never cum and said that there is no possibility that I could get pregnant. I've been so worried until now. Please help me..

The only way to not get pregnant is to not have sex. End of story. The only way to lower one's chances of becoming pregnant is to use at least one form of birth control, mechanical barrier, hormonal or otherwise. Pulling out early doesn't count.
Some women can tell when they ovulate, specifically which ovary. This is called mittelschmerz. However, in anyone who's had pelvic inflammatory disease, we also worry about ectopic or tubal pregnancies, which are dangerous and can be deadly. Best to get evaluated by your family physician.
And the next time and every time you have sex, make sure he wears a raincoat (condom). To really lower your chance of getting pregnant, you could also consider taking an oral contraceptive (assuming you don't smoke and haven't had blood clots before). But at least make sure he wears a condom to minimize the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
Good luck!

10. Now that Jenny’s gone, Rufus is coasting as a dad
Dan: I need your advice, but I need to keep the details vague.
Rufus: Please, the vaguer the better. Keeps parenting a challenge.
9. Blair’s niceness never bodes well
Dorota: You don’t come to me with any complaints about anything. You are too happy. Content. Am worried you join cult.
8. The fighting Thorpish
Raina: There’s something you need to know about me. My dad and I? We’re Notre Dame fans.
Nate: Oh, no, you can’t be. What are you talking about?
Raina: Guess kids are out of the question.
7. Chuck gets to be the self-righteous one for once
Chuck: I guess the Archibald charm isn’t as rusty as you thought. Unlike the knife in my back.
6. Oh, grammar nerds, just shag already.
Dan: Serena, Eric, Lily — they’re going to need us now more than ever.
Blair: And not us. Dan and Blair. Two distinct entities separated by a conjunction.
Dan: Or a comma, if appearing in a list.

3. Bonding, Dair-style
Dan: All we have to do is tell everyone that we’ve been hanging out. It’s not going to be a big deal unless we keep making it a big deal.
Blair: Which it totally isn’t. We should soften the ground. Put out an anonymous post on Gossip Girl saying that some big secret is going to come out at Chuck’s party tonight. That way everyone will assume that some earth-shattering, huge scandal is imminent, like...
Dan: You getting traded for a hotel?
Blair: Or you raising Georgina’s baby by a Russian mobster.
2. Lily’s already talking like a con
Lily: Just promise me one thing. Before Thorpe leaves here tonight, tell that son of a bitch where he can stick it.

Mayor T, et al. (2005) Analysis of polyubiquitin conjugates reveals that the Rpn10 substrate receptor contributes to the turnover of multiple proteasome targets. Mol Cell Proteomics 4(6):741-51
Abstract: The poly-ubiquitin receptor Rpn10 targets ubiquitylated Sic1 to the 26S proteasome for degradation. In contrast, turnover of at least one ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) substrate, CPY*, is impervious to deletion of RPN10. To distinguish whether RPN10 is involved in the turnover of only a small set of cell cycle regulators that includes Sic1, or plays a more general role in the UPS, we sought to develop a general method that would allow us to survey the spectrum of ubiquitylated proteins that selectively accumulate in rpn10 cells. Poly-ubiquitin conjugates from yeast cells that express hexahistidine-tagged ubiquitin (H6-ubiquitin) were first enriched on a poly-ubiquitin binding protein affinity resin. This material was then denatured and subjected to immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) to retrieve H6-ubiquitin and proteins to which it may be covalently linked. Using this approach we identified 127 proteins that are candidate substrates for the 26S proteasome. We then sequenced ubiquitin conjugates from cells lacking Rpn10 (rpn10) and identified 54 proteins that were uniquely recovered from rpn10 cells. These include two known targets of the UPS: the cell cycle regulator Sic1 and the transcriptional activator Gcn4. Our approach of comparing the ubiquitin conjugate proteome in wild type and mutant cells has the resolving power to identify even an extremely inabundant transcriptional regulatory protein, and should be generally applicable to mapping enzyme-substrate networks in the UPS.

Venkatesh S, et al. (2012) Set2 methylation of histone H3 lysine?36 suppresses histone exchange on transcribed genes. Nature 489(7416):452-5
Abstract: Set2-mediated methylation of histone H3 at Lys?36 (H3K36me) is a co-transcriptional event that is necessary for the activation of the Rpd3S histone deacetylase complex, thereby maintaining the coding region of genes in a hypoacetylated state. In the absence of Set2, H3K36 or Rpd3S acetylated histones accumulate on open reading frames (ORFs), leading to transcription initiation from cryptic promoters within ORFs. Although the co-transcriptional deacetylation pathway is well characterized, the factors responsible for acetylation are as yet unknown. Here we show that, in yeast, co-transcriptional acetylation is achieved in part by histone exchange over ORFs. In addition to its function of targeting and activating the Rpd3S complex, H3K36 methylation suppresses the interaction of H3 with histone chaperones, histone exchange over coding regions and the incorporation of new acetylated histones. Thus, Set2 functions both to suppress the incorporation of acetylated histones and to signal for the deacetylation of these histones in transcribed genes. By suppressing spurious cryptic transcripts from initiating within ORFs, this pathway is essential to maintain the accuracy of transcription by RNA polymerase?II.

You don't have to be "odd" or live in a flat city to cycle. You just have to choose a suitable bike, get used to the terrain and pick routes that suit your ability.
I rode to NSW Uni for transport in eastern sydney up and down plenty of hills and after a few months I just got used to the hills. On hills, the bike weight and having low gears is more important. It's a bit hard getting up hills on a heavy old English bike with only 3 gears.
I now like hills - you only have to pedal up them. You free-wheel down hill so you only have to pedal half the distance :-)

What would a 4 degree rise mean for the planet?
PROFESSOR Bob Watson, the chief scientific adviser to the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and a senior UK government adviser warned of the risk of a rise in global temperatures of 4 degrees Celsius.
He said: "There is no doubt that we should aim to limit changes in the global mean surface temperature to 2 digree above pre-industrial (levels). But given this is an ambitious target, and we don't know in detail how to limit greenhouse gas emissions to realise a 2 degree target, we should be prepared to adapt to 4 digree."
But what would a 4-degree rise mean for the planet? According to the 2006 Stern review on the economics of climate change, up to 300 million people would be affected by coastal flooding yearly.
Water availability in Southern Africa and the Mediterranean could drop by half, and agricultural yields in Africa may be cut by up to 35%, with devastating effects for millions at risk of starvation, malnutrition and disease. Many species could face extinction.
Worse, rapid runaway warming could be triggered -- for example, by the release of methane hydrate deposits in the Arctic -- rapidly increasing the temperature rise far above even 4 degree. The idea that we should somehow "adapt" to such cataclysmic outcomes is deeply irrational.
Sir David King, the government's former chief scientific adviser, has backed Watson's call to "prepare for the worst." King said that even if a global deal could ever be agreed to keep carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere below 450 parts per million (ppm), there is a 50% likelihood that temperatures would exceed 2 degrees and a 20% chance they would exceed 3.5degrees.
Unfortunately, it is considered "far-fetched" by some scientists that, under current policies, global warming will even be kept below 4 deegrees.
A new report says that stabilising carbon dioxide at the required atmospheric concentration of 650ppm would need industrialised nations to "begin to make draconian emission reductions within a decade".
The report also warns the G8 promise to cut emissions by half by 2050, to limit the global temperature rise to just 2 degrees, has no scientific basis. Instead, this delusion could lead to "dangerously misguided" policies: "Political inaction on global warming has become so dire" that "nations must now consider extreme technical solutions."
These "geoengineering options" include dumping iron into the oceans to boost the growth of plankton (which absorbs carbon dioxide) and injecting aerosols into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight into space. As humanity teeters on the brink, the corporate media are sure to give increasing coverage to these dubious and risky "technofixes."
This much is clear: after more than twenty years of ever more urgent scientific warnings, and government and corporate obstructionism, have arrived at the edge of the climate abyss. Professor Watson's response to his own dire warning to "prepare" for a 4 degrees rise was to call for the UK to take a lead in research on carbon capture and storage (CCS).
This would need an "Apollo-type program" akin to the huge resources devoted by the US in the 1960s space race. So what does CCS entail? First, carbon dioxide is "captured" by separating it out from the waste gases emitted by power stations.
The words "carbon capture and storage" have now become a standard buzz-phrase with "pollution permits", "joint implementation mechanism" and "tradable energy quotas.
Nexis newspaper conducted a database search for "carbon capture and storage" in the British press over the 12-month period of Sep 1, 2007 - Aug 31, 2008. The article reported that people who had been interviewed about CCS had, understandably, never heard of it: "They said it sounded dangerous and unnecessary... They don't like the idea of a quick fix or burying the problem. Most people would rather see a move to renewables and improved energy efficiency."
But when "the problem of emissions was explained", Nexis was told, "they came round a bit" and understood that "CCS could solve a problem over the next few decades. People are more inclined to accept it as part of a package of measures, policies and ideas.
As pointed out by its rapidly increasing media profile, CCS has been hyped into the foreground with serious discussion of alternative "measures, policies and ideas" left trailing in its wake.
Corporate energy chiefs have pushed CCS hard, a green-washing strategy to protect business interests, profits and power.
A recent report from Corporate Watch warns that CCS technology is unlikely to be proven, scaled up and in widespread use until 2030 at the earliest, and possibly not until 2050 -- too late to prevent climate chaos. A welcome, but entirely inadequate, note of caution about corporate claims appeared in a Guardian editorial: "The idea of stripping pollution from fossil fuels is seductive - a quick fix to an overwhelming crisis." However, the paper added, "for countries that develop it there could also be big profits."
Corporate media coverage has buried the truth that CCS would be exploited to increase oil recovery: pumping carbon dioxide into ageing oil reservoirs causes forcing out oil that would otherwise stay underground.
The push for CCS then and, indeed, for nuclear power is yet another outcome of pathological business greed. It is a fatal display of short-sightedness and arrogance which relies on technical fixes to tackle symptoms, rather than the systemic sickness at the heart of global capitalism.
If we can loosen, even a little, the crushing chains of corporate power and thought control, and then we still have a chance of averting disaster.

Death Penalty Is Wrong In All Cases
December 28, 1993|By Seth Donnelly, Director, Illinois Coalition Against the Death Penalty.
CHICAGO — I object to the moral content of Eric Zorn's recent column "Execution makes sense-for Gacy."
Zorn argues that not only should opponents to the death penalty "sit this one out," but that the state murder, even torture ("I won't object if they get out the nail scissors") of mass murderer John Wayne Gacy is justified. The basic message of Zorn's piece is that state execution/torture is, in and of itself, not a violation of our human integrity, but rather can be righteously and selectively applied.
Within the context of articulating this message, Zorn quotes me as saying: "The more heinous the crime, the more difficult it is to make our case. It forces us into an awkward, defensive position-standing up to save the life of a horrible person."
This requires clarification: I mean only that the more heinous the crime for which a person is charged and convicted within a court and often the media, the greater the challenge to defend life against state murder and/or torture.
However, in contrast to Zorn's position that this challenge, specifically the possible execution of Gacy, should be met by "sitting it out," I believe the challenge requires abolitionists to be all the more firm and clear in our opposition to the death penalty.
Why are we opposed?
Here I can speak for the Illinois Coalition Against the Death Penalty. Certainly we are opposed to the death penalty because it is the genocidal pinnacle of an apartheid criminal justice system in this country; because innocent people are falsely convicted and executed; because it is proven not to deter murder while the costs of maintaining the institution of the death penalty are astronomically more expensive than life imprisonment.
But even if the death penalty could be applied only to the so-called "worst of the worst" within a utopian criminal justice system within a just society, we would still be opposed to it because we do not believe that the institutions of "law and order" should be in the business of killing people or any other act of violence society does not condone "on the streets"; because when these institutions are involved in such violence, it kills that much more of everyone's collective humanity and numbs us, as a social whole, to that inside the mind and heart which finds murder and aggression to be repulsive; and because the act of state-premeditated murder-so hyped by a commercialized media-does not bring back the victims of non-state murder, nor truly heal the wounds inflicted by such murder.
I do not presume to publicly judge John Wayne Gacy or anyone else on death row. That is not my role or my position. What I judge is the death penalty which, in all situations, is a sick solution to a sick society. | http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1993-12-28/news/9312280222_1_death-penalty-execution-mass-murderer | dclm-gs1-036860002 | false | false | {

I hear a sharp, metallic pinging sound from my engine when I go up a hill or try to pass on the highway. What gives?
It's called "spark knock" or "detonation," and is a form of abnormal combustion caused by excessive heat and pressure in your engine's combustion chambers and/or using fuel with too low an octane rating.
The metallic knocking sound is actually produced by shock waves inside your engine's combustion chambers. When a spark plug ignites the air\fuel mixture in a cylinder, it produces an explosion that spreads outward from the point of ignition like an expanding balloon. The outer edge of this balloon of fire is called the flame front. During normal combustion, there's a single flame front that expands and consumes all the air and fuel in the cylinder until combustion is complete. Pressure rises gradually then falls off producing a smooth power stroke. But when there's too much heat and pressure for the octane rating of the fuel, little pockets of air and fuel can ignite spontaneously when the initial flame front begins to burn. As these multiple flame fronts expand and collide with one another, the collisions produce shock waves that cause the sharp, metallic pinging or rattling sound you hear.
Mild detonation can occur in almost any engine and usually causes no harm. But prolonged heavy detonation can be very damaging to your engine. Because detonation causes such a sudden rise and increase in combustion pressure, it's more like a hammer-blow than a steady push. If the problem persists and is not corrected, it can damage the spark plugs, head gasket, pistons, rings and rod bearings.
Detonation also causes the engine to lose power because the cylinder pressure peaks too quickly for an efficient power stroke. Detonation can also raise cylinder temperatures to the point where another form of abnormal combustion called "preignition" occurs.
Preignition is when the fuel is ignited by a hot spot in the combustion chamber or ignites spontaneously from excessive heat. Preignition can also be very damaging because the fuel ignites before it is supposed to. The instant at which ignition occurs must be precisely timed for efficient combustion. If the fuel starts to burn on its own accord before the spark plug fires, fuel economy and performance plummet while exhaust emissions soar. What's more, preignition can burn a hole right through the top of a piston!
Preventing Detonation
One way to reduce the risk of detonation is to use a higher octane fuel.
If switching to a premium grade of gasoline fails to eliminate your detonation problem, it means something else is amiss. The causes of detonation include anything that raises combustion temperatures or pressures, or anything that leans out the air/fuel mixture. These include:
• Too much compression. An accumulation of carbon deposits in your engine's combustion chambers, on piston tops and valves can increase compression to the point where it causes detonation and/or preignition. To get rid of the deposits, pour a can of "top cleaner" down the carburetor while the engine is idling (follow the directions). Allow the chemical to soak the recommended period of time, then restart the engine to blow out the deposits.
• Over-advanced ignition timing. Too much spark advance causes cylinder pressure to rise too rapidly. Check and adjust the ignition timing as needed.
• Defective knock sensor. Most late model computer controlled engines have a knock sensor that detects vibrations caused by detonation when the engine is under load. When the knock sensor hears the pistons rattling, it signals the computer to momentarily retard ignition timing a certain number of degrees until the knocking goes away. But if the knock sensor is defective, no spark retard will occur.
• Loss of EGR. Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) has a cooling effect on combustion temperatures because it dilutes the incoming mixture with inert exhaust gas. By keeping combustion temperatures under 1500 degrees, the formation of oxides of nitrogen (NOX) are reduced. If the EGR valve is inoperative or someone has disconnected it or plugged the EGR vacuum hose, combustion temperatures will run much higher likely resulting in detonation when the engine is under load.
• Engine overheating. A hot engine is more likely to suffer spark knock when it is under load than one which runs at normal temperature. Overheating can be caused by a low coolant level, a defective fan clutch, too small a fan, the wrong thermostat or a stuck thermostat, a weak water pump, a buildup of deposits in the radiator or cooling system, a bad fan clutch or electric cooling fan that doesn't work.
• Lean fuel mixture. Rich fuel mixtures resist detonation while lean ones do not. Air leaks in vacuum lines, intake manifold gaskets, carburetor or throttle body gaskets, or fuel injector O-rings can admit extra air into the engine and lean out the fuel mixture. Lean mixtures can also be caused by dirty fuel injectors, dirty carburetor jets, or low fuel pressure.
• Wrong spark plugs. The wrong "heat range" (too hot) can cause detonation as well as preignition.

Your sunscreen may not be up to standards.
On current packaging, the SPF only measures protection from sunburn causing UVB rays, not the deeper UVA rays which can cause cancer.
One of the new requirements by the FDA is letting consumers know on the label how often sunscreen should be applied. All the new labels will say water resistant for up to 40 or 80 minutes. That means it should be re-applied at least every 40 or 80 minutes, but more often if you'll be getting wet.
Two words that won't be allowed on new labels are proof and block.
For instance, the labels can't call themselves water or sweat proof and they can't say the product is a sun block.
The FDA says there's no such thing as a sun block.
Look for the changes in sunscreen in place by summer 2013. | http://b975.com/content/changes-sunscreen | dclm-gs1-036910002 | false | false | {

Global State On Servers Considered Harmful
• Comments 5
The other day I noted that extending the built-in objects in JScript .NET is no longer legal in "fast mode". Of course, this is still legal in "compatibility mode" if you need it, but why did we take it out of fast mode?
As several readers have pointed out, this is actually a kind of compelling feature. It's nice to be able to add new methods to prototypes:
String.prototype.frobnicate = function(){/* whatever */}
var s1 = "hello";
var s2 = s1.frobnicate();
It would be nice to extend the Math object, or change the implementation of toLocaleString on Date objects, or whatever.
Unfortunately, it also breaks ASP.NET, which is the prime reason we developed fast mode in the first place. Ironically, it is not the additional compiler optimizations that a static object model enables which motivated this change! Rather, it is the compilation model of ASP.NET.
I discussed earlier how ASP uses the script engines -- ASP translates the marked-up page into a script, which it compiles once and runs every time the page is served up. ASP.NET's compilation model is similar, but somewhat different. ASP.NET takes the marked-up page and translates it into a class that extends a standard page class. It compiles the derived class once, and then every time the page is served up it creates a new instance of the class and calls the Render method on the class.
So what's the difference? The difference is that multiple instances of multiple page classes may be running in the same application domain. In the ASP Classic model, each script engine is an entirely independent entity. In the ASP.NET model, page classes in the same application may run in the same domain, and hence can affect each other. We don't want them to affect each other though -- the information served up by one page should not depend on stuff being served up at the same time by other pages.
Now I'm sure you see where this is going. Those built-in objects are shared by all instances of all JScript objects in the same application domain. Imagine the chaos if you had a page that said:
String.prototype.username = FetchUserName();
String.prototype.appendUserName = function() { return this + this.username; };
var greeting = "hello";
Oh dear me. We've set up a race condition. Multiple instances of the page class running on multiple threads in the same appdomain might all try to change the prototype object at the same time, and the last one is going to win. Suddenly you've got pages that serve up the wrong data! That data might be highly sensitive, or the race condition may introduce logical errors in the script processing -- errors which will be nigh-impossible to reproduce and debug.
A global writable object model in a multi-threaded appdomain where class instances should not interact is a recipe for disaster, so we made the global object model read-only in this scenario. If you need the convenience of a writable object model, there is always compatibility mode.
• Question 1: Is this the reason you also enforce the use of var in fast mode? Question 2: Doesn't this make the term "fast mode" a bit of a misnomer? Shouldn't it be "ASP.NET mode"? Question 3: Out of curiosity - can you say how JScript.NET is fairing in the ASP.NET world vs. C# and VB.NET ?
• 1) Yes -- enforcing var improves clarity, improves optimizations and prevents accidental fouling of the global namespace. 2) Don't be silly. I mean, we could have called them "incompatibility mode" and "slow mode" too, but obviously we wouldn't. Fast mode was motivated by the requirements of ASP.NET, but the benefits go beyond ASP.NET scenarios. 3) I have not the faintest idea. Remember, I haven't actually worked on JS.NET for over two years now, and even if I was, I'm a developer, not a market researcher. (I can tell you that as far as throughput performance goes, JScript.NET on ASP.NET performs about as well as VB.NET, and both are 5%-10% slower than the equivalent C# in common scenarios -- or, at least that was the case when I last ran the numbers.)
• Ignore me I am testing.
• Perhaps a compromise could be reached for a future version of the language. It seems most of the interesting reasons for modifying the prototypes of the built in objects are all cases that are one-time setup. If these prototypes were writable only at appdomain creation time and read-only there after I think both sides could be happy? (Not that there's any current way to implement a .cctor in JS.NET that I'm aware of.)
• "ASP.NET mode" may be ridiculously specific, but it still seems like "fast mode" doesn't say enough: it doesn't say anything about allowing the script engine to be longer-lived or shared...
Maybe it should be called something like "static mode"?

Klose RJ, et al. (2007) Demethylation of histone H3K36 and H3K9 by Rph1: a vestige of an H3K9 methylation system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae? Mol Cell Biol 27(11):3951-61
Abstract: Histone methylation is an important posttranslational modification that contributes to chromatin-based processes including transcriptional regulation, DNA repair, and epigenetic inheritance. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, histone lysine methylation occurs on histone H3 lysines 4, 36, and 79, and its deposition is coupled mainly to transcription. Until recently, histone methylation was considered to be irreversible, but the identification of histone demethylase enzymes has revealed that this modification can be dynamically regulated. In budding yeast, there are five proteins that contain the JmjC domain, a signature motif found in a large family of histone demethylases spanning many organisms. One JmjC-domain-containing protein in budding yeast, Jhd1, has recently been identified as being a histone demethylase that targets H3K36 modified in the di- and monomethyl state. Here, we identify a second JmjC-domain-containing histone demethylase, Rph1, which can specifically demethylate H3K36 tri- and dimethyl modification states. Surprisingly, Rph1 can remove H3K9 methylation, a histone modification not found in budding yeast chromatin. The capacity of Rph1 to demethylate H3K9 provides the first indication that S. cerevisiae may have once encoded an H3K9 methylation system and suggests that Rph1 is a functional vestige of this modification system.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Reverse polish notation)
Jump to: navigation, search
Reverse Polish notation (RPN) is a mathematical notation in which every operator follows all of its operands, in contrast to Polish notation, which puts the operator in the prefix position. It is also known as postfix notation and is parenthesis-free as long as operator arities are fixed. The description "Polish" refers to the nationality of logician Jan Łukasiewicz, who invented (prefix) Polish notation in the 1920s.
The reverse Polish scheme was proposed in 1954 by Burks, Warren, and Wright[1] and was independently reinvented by F. L. Bauer and E. W. Dijkstra in the early 1960s to reduce computer memory access and utilize the stack to evaluate expressions. The algorithms and notation for this scheme were extended by Australian philosopher and computer scientist Charles Hamblin in the mid-1950s.[2][3]
During the 1970s and 1980s, RPN was known to many calculator users, as it was used in some handheld calculators of the time designed for advanced users: for example, the HP-10C series and Sinclair Scientific calculators.
In computer science, postfix notation is often used in stack-based and concatenative programming languages. It is also common in dataflow and pipeline-based systems, including Unix pipelines.
Most of what follows is about binary operators. A unary operator for which the reverse Polish notation is the general convention is the factorial.
In reverse Polish notation the operators follow their operands; for instance, to add 3 and 4, one would write "3 4 +" rather than "3 + 4". If there are multiple operations, the operator is given immediately after its second operand; so the expression written "3 - 4 + 5" in conventional notation would be written "3 4 - 5 +" in RPN: first subtract 4 from 3, then add 5 to that. An advantage of RPN is that it obviates the need for parentheses that are required by infix. While "3 - 4 * 5" can also be written "3 - (4 * 5)", that means something quite different from "(3 - 4) * 5". In postfix, the former could be written "3 4 5 * -", which unambiguously means "3 (4 5 *) -" which reduces to "3 20 -"; the latter could be written "3 4 - 5 *" (or 5 3 4 - *, if you wish to keep similar formatting), which unambiguously means "(3 4 -) 5 *".
Despite the name, reverse Polish notation is not exactly the reverse of Polish notation, for the operands of non-commutative operations are still written in the conventional order (e.g. "/ 6 3" in Polish notation and "6 3 /" in reverse Polish both evaluate to 2, whereas "3 6 /" in reverse Polish notation would evaluate to ½).
Practical implications[edit]
In comparison testing of reverse Polish notation with algebraic notation, reverse Polish has been found to lead to faster calculations, for two reasons. Because reverse Polish calculators do not need expressions to be parenthesized, fewer operations need to be entered to perform typical calculations. Additionally, users of reverse Polish calculators made fewer mistakes than for other types of calculator.[4][5] Later research clarified that the increased speed from reverse Polish notation may be attributed to the smaller number of keystrokes needed to enter this notation, rather than to a smaller cognitive load on its users.[6] However, anecdotal evidence suggests that reverse Polish notation is more difficult for users to learn than algebraic notation.[5]
Postfix algorithm[edit]
The algorithm for evaluating any postfix expression is fairly straightforward:
• While there are input tokens left
• Read the next token from input.
• If the token is a value
• Push it onto the stack.
• If there are fewer than n values on the stack
• Else, Pop the top n values from the stack.
• Evaluate the operator, with the values as arguments.
• If there is only one value in the stack
• That value is the result of the calculation.
• Otherwise, there are more values in the stack
• (Error) The user input has too many values.
5 1 2 + 4 * + 3 -
Input Operation Stack Comment
5 Push value 5
1 Push value 1
2 Push value 2
+ Add 3
4 Push value 4
* Multiply 12
3 Push value 3
Result (14)
The above example could be rewritten by following the "chain calculation" method described by HP for their series of RPN calculators:[7]
1 2 + 4 * 5 + 3 −
Converting from infix notation[edit]
Edsger Dijkstra invented the shunting-yard algorithm to convert infix expressions to postfix (RPN), so named because its operation resembles that of a railroad shunting yard.
There are other ways of producing postfix expressions from infix notation. Most operator-precedence parsers can be modified to produce postfix expressions; in particular, once an abstract syntax tree has been constructed, the corresponding postfix expression is given by a simple post-order traversal of that tree.
History of implementations[edit]
The first computers to implement architectures enabling RPN were the English Electric Company's KDF9 machine, which was announced in 1960 and delivered (i.e. made available commercially) in 1963, and the American Burroughs B5000, announced in 1961 and also delivered in 1963. One of the designers of the B5000, Robert S. Barton, later wrote that he developed RPN independently of Hamblin sometime in 1958 while reading a textbook by "Kopi" (likely Irving Copi, who was at the University of Michigan at the time) on symbolic logic[8][9] and before he was aware of Hamblin's work.
A promotional Hewlett-Packard "No Equals" hat from the 1980s - both a boast and a reference to RPN.
Friden introduced RPN to the desktop calculator market with the EC-130 in June 1963. Hewlett-Packard engineers designed the 9100A Desktop Calculator in 1968 with RPN. This calculator popularized RPN among the scientific and engineering communities, even though early advertisements for the 9100A failed to mention RPN. The HP-35, the world's first handheld scientific calculator, used RPN in 1972. HP used RPN on every handheld calculator it sold, whether scientific, financial, or programmable, until it introduced the HP-10 adding machine calculator in 1977. By this time HP was the leading manufacturer of calculators for professionals, including engineers and accountants.
HP introduced an LCD-based line of calculators in the early 1980s that used RPN, such as the HP-10C, HP-11C, HP-15C, HP-16C, and the famous financial calculator, the HP-12C. When Hewlett-Packard introduced a later business calculator, the HP-19B, without RPN, feedback from financiers and others used to the 12C compelled them to release the HP-19BII[citation needed], which gave users the option of using algebraic notation or RPN. From 1990 to 2003 HP manufactured the HP-48 series of graphing RPN calculators and in 2006 introduced the HP-50g with a 131x80 LCD and a 75 MHz ARM CPU that emulates the Saturn CPU of the HP-48 series.
As of 2011, Hewlett-Packard is producing the calculator models 12C, 12C Platinum, 17BII, 20B (financial), 30B (business), 33S, 35S, 48GII and 50G (scientific) which support RPN.[10]
Prinz and Prinztronic were own-brand trade names of the British Dixons photographic and electronic goods stores retail chain, which was later rebranded as Currys Digital stores, and became part of DSG International. A variety of calculator models was sold in the 1970s under the Prinztronic brand, all made for them by other companies.
Among these was the PROGRAM Programmable Scientific Calculator which featured RPN.
Soviet Union[edit]
Soviet programmable calculators (MK-52, MK-61, B3-34 and earlier B3-21[11] models) used RPN for both automatic mode and programming. Modern Russian calculators MK-161[12] and MK-152,[13] designed and manufactured in Novosibirsk since 2007 and offered by Semico, are backward compatible with them. Their extended architecture is also based on reverse Polish notation.
Current implementations[edit]
Existing implementations using reverse Polish notation include:

One solution to the first problem was Jan Lukasiewicz's Polish notation, which enables a writer of mathematical notation to instruct a reader the order in which to execute the operations (e.g. addition, multiplication, etc) without using brackets.

Proposition 8 ruling should be voided because gay judge was biased, backers say [Updated]
In another swing at the judge who declared Proposition 8 to be unconstitutional, backers of the measure Monday asked that his decision be voided because he failed to disclose that he was gay and in a long-term relationship.
In a court filing, the sponsors of the ban on gay marriage, ProtectMarriage, asked the chief judge of the federal court in San Francisco to nullify last August's ruling by former U.S. District Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker, who retired earlier this year.
ProtectMarriage said Walker should have disclosed his involvement with his male partner before presiding over the marriage trial because it constituted a conflict of interest.
Walker earlier this month publicly discussed his sexual orientation, though it was widely known even before last year's trial. During pretrial interviews, The Times asked attorneys for ProtectMarriage whether they would make an issue of Walker's sexual orientation. They declined to comment.
In their legal filing, the lawyers said Walker's public acknowledgment of his long-term relationship provides fuel for overturning his judgment.
[Updated, 4:50 p.m.: "Judge Walker's 10-year-long same-sex relationship creates the unavoidable impression that he was not the impartial judge the law requires," ProtectMarriage argued in the legal filing.
Andy Pugno, a lawyer for ProtectMarriage, said the group was not suggesting that it would be inappropriate for any gay or lesbian judge to sit on the case. "Rather, our motion is all about the fundamental principle that no judge is permitted to try a case where he has an interest in the outcome," Pugno said.
Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of law at UC Irvine and an expert in the federal constitution, said "there is no chance whatsover" that Walker's ruling would be voided because the judge failed to tell the backers of Proposition 8 that he was gay.
"No judge is going to say that another judge has a duty to declare his or her sexual orientation," the law professor said.
He said that would be akin to asking black judges to recuse themselves from race discrimination cases or female judges to remove themselves from litigation involving sex bias.]
ProtectMarriage already has asked the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to order Walker to return video recordings of the trial. Walker has used a snippet from the testimony when giving lectures on cameras in the courtroom. ProtectMarriage has argued Walker's use of the video violated promises he made to the backers of the measure and defied the U.S. Supreme Court.

And so we can assume that a straight judge who is married to an opposite sex individual would not be biased? Come on now!
Are the P8 proponents litigating? It seems like they're trying to buy time. Would the 9th Circuit need to address their move before it rules on releasing the trial tapes? Do the proponents fear a release of the trial tapes today, and therefore weigh the court down with this ridiculous notion?
I can't take their argument seriously. They're either totally clueless about human sexuality, and implying that only a heterosexual judge can rule on this, or they're showing their true colors, and seek to use one's sexuality as a negative weapon against them. This is the definition of homophobia.
It's totally desperate!
Thats like Cheech and Chong ruling on the legalization of marijuana???????
These guys are illogical; and will never be satisfied with the growing trend towards the basic American principles of equality, individual freedom, and self-determination.
Marriage affects all of us. A straight judge would be equally 'biased'. Try again, bigots.
No intelligent person can read Judge Walker's ruling and not be moved by its cogency and logic. Prejudice was not brought to bear in this ruling. The sexual orientation of the judge is nowhere apparent in this ruling.
Read the ruling for yourself.
Well, then all heterosexual judges should recuse themselves because they may have a conflict of interest.
The judge should have recused himself-- absolutely. There is an agenda there and slaps every Californian and the Will of The People in the face... Shame on the Times for not standing up for the rights of the voters. Your Editors are a sham...
...dont ya just love the smell of desperation...that would be like asking a male judge to recuse himself in a rape case because he has a penis...
The "appearence" of a conflict is at the heart of judicial ethics. But of cource Chemerinsky doesn't care about that in this case. And this isn't about black judges and race discrimination cases. This is about hidden bias.
Then conservative SCOTUS members should not be able to rules on anything because they have a bias towards conservatism.
This assumes that a heterosexual judge would be biased against gay marriage. I love this, judge shopping.
How insane. Shouldn't heterosexual judges recuse themselves from this case also since their "sexual orientation" would taint their findings? Since we all have some mixture of sexual orientations, by their logic no human could rule on this case. Shows how morally bankrupt ProtectMarriage is.
All human judges with human relationships should recuse themselves from any case involving humans!!!
The problem with the Prop 8 proponents' argument is they argued in briefs and court that heterosexual marriage would be "harmed" if same-sex marriage would be legalized. So, a straight judge would arguendo be biased as well, b/c they would have an interest in the outcome...b/c they may want to "protect" their marriage or future marriage from the supposed same-sex marriage assault. If we follow their logic, no one would ever be able to act as judge on any cases.
This is the most ridiculous argument. So somehow straight judges aren't biased?
Of course a gay judge can determine the that this law is unconstitutional. It is so clear that denying equal protection under the law is unconstitutional. It doesn't take a sexuality to figure that out.
The Prop 8 proponents are basing this new challenge not on the fact the fact that Judge Walker is gay, but on the fact that he has been in a committed relationship with another man for the past 10 years, and he did not disclose this relationship to them before the trial started. Presumably, then, if the judge had just been trolling the Castro, the proponents would be okay with that.
I think that's like arguing that Thurgood Marshall, had he been on the Supreme Court in 1954, could only hear Brown v. Board of Education if he was childless and sterile.
Typical of religious groups: you either do what they want, or you're out. They particularly don't like Walker, because his evidence-based hearing made them look like idiots because, well, they are.
Members of all kinds of groups (women, racial and ethnic minorities, etc.) are judges and regularly rule on cases that effect their group. And, needless to say, straight white male judges routinely rule on cases affecting straight white males. It might be wise, though, not to have religious judges. Clearly, their powers of reasoning are seriously impared by being in the thrall of a system of ridiculous fantasies.
"'Judge Walker's 10-year-long same-sex relationship creates the unavoidable impression that he was not the impartial judge the law requires,' ProtectMarriage argued in the legal filing."
Um...what about this?:
So these nut jobs KNEW he was gay before the trial, declined to comment about it, and NOW decide that it's a problem? Why? Because he didn't rule the way they wanted?
Being an ignorant bigot is a choice. Being gay is not. http://tinyurl.com/254tlgq
Warning: Far Left Judicial Activism in Progress.
America is being re-formed from the top down by hostile elites.
They want to have their case heard yet again, this time using a different basis.
If it smells like fish and its years old . . . throw it out.
this is the ugliest legal maneuver i've seen in a long time. who are these people?
He should recuse himself. So should all straight judges who are married or divorced or might consider marriage some day.
This is really starting to sound a little desperate. So only a bigot can rule on this case to make it fair? C'mon people, we're so far behind the curve on this issue and surely there are bigger issues to spend money on, such as job creation, avoiding statewide financial ruin, earthquake preparedness, etal...

0.104964 | <urn:uuid:ec99db61-194c-47c6-802d-974d8b2450ea> | en | 0.955376 | The Presidential election is looming, and even though the topic of infrastructure occasionally gets a brief mention, specifics are usually absent. Here are the three top challenges facing the logistics industry that the next president needs to understand in order to keep America competitive.
Supply disruptions: The cost of oil, raw materials and many household items continues to climb. Unstable economies and political situations around the world affect us, such as the jump in oil prices we saw after a refinery explosion in Venezuela or when Hurricane Isaac shut down rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.
In order to stay competitive, America’s supply chain must respond to global supply disruptions and be able to switch materials or suppliers quickly when natural disasters or economic turmoil hits a region. The next President needs to understand the speed and force with which events in other countries can affect more than just oil prices – they can seriously affect the cost and transport of goods across our entire economy.
Transportation capacity: Although U.S. manufacturing and retail industries have increasingly relied on imports, our highway and rail infrastructure has been neither maintained nor expanded in critical places. Other factors, such as increased fuel prices, security requirements, border delays and a shortage of truck drivers are eroding the freight transport system’s performance. These slow-downs and delays lead to higher prices for the industry and ultimately for consumers.
What’s more, our inefficient infrastructure will continue to be a hurdle as our economy recovers from the slow-down: Because of the recession, many transportation companies have cut back on labor, trucks and services in response to fewer products being produced, moved and stored. But as the economy picks up, demand will eventually saturate current capacity. In other words, there’s going to be a gap of time between the increase in consumer buying and when the supply chain industry can fully ramp up to meet those needs.
Although the logistics industry can’t build its own rail, roads or bridges, we can ensure that we have the right technology in place to provide the most accurate picture of the current situation and future predictions for forecasting. Furthermore, we need to take a serious look at using a more diverse mix of transportation options to stay competitive in price and delivery, such as relocating distribution centers closer to rail corridors or ports.
Shortened distances and faster response times will mean faster responses to the market. The next President must understand the need for a diverse, reliable infrastructure base and for fostering innovation to help our industry continue to serve the most important economy in the world.
Product safety and security: Food safety is one of the biggest issues affecting the U.S. agricultural and food industries. For those of us in the logistics business, we must be able to execute a recall as quickly and accurately as possible as well as comply with stricter industry regulations. Food and beverage manufacturers have traditionally relied on manual data collection methods to provide information on product and ingredient tracking, with reports based on paper records. Automated systems, however, are providing manufacturers with access to much more reliable, real-time information. Such technology enables manufacturers not only to meet regulatory demands but also to respond more effectively in product recall situations—tracking products faster, more accurately, more efficiently, and more cost effectively. A robust warehouse management system can help a company achieve this level of detail, including quickly identifying batch numbers and location without having to run multiple reports.
Of course this doesn’t just mean pulling items off the shelves, but having a thorough understanding of our suppliers: If one supplier is taken offline, are there others in the region we can turn to as a back-up source? How quickly are their materials available? Did they originate from the same place that triggered the recall? If the recall is food-related, is this new source run through a different warehouse? What are the ingredients that go into this product and are there other products at risk?
The next President must understand the complexities of responding to a recall and help support the logistics industry as it manages those risks. Again, technological innovation and a strong transportation system will help our industry ensure that the products we are moving are safe and that the American people can have confidence in their food and infrastructure systems.
Moving forward
In January of this year, the White House released its National Strategy for Global Supply Chain Security. This is a good start, and hopefully our industry can continue to partner with the White House administration to improve infrastructure, transportation options and the logistics of food safety. As the economy and consumer demand strengthens, so too does the importance of America’s responsiveness and ability to be nimble in the face of an uncertain economic climate.

LicenseAcquirer Class
This class handles acquiring PlayReady licenses for protected content.
Namespace: System.Windows.Media
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
public class LicenseAcquirer
The LicenseAcquirer type exposes the following members.
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows PhoneLicenseAcquirerInitializes a new instance of the LicenseAcquirer class.
Public propertyChallengeCustomDataGets or sets a string that contains service-specific data to be conveyed to the license server without implementing manual license acquisition.
Public propertyDomainAcquirerGets or sets a DomainAcquirer to handle Join Domain requests that are triggered from License Server exceptions (DomainRequired or RenewDomain).
Public propertyInjectClientInformationGets or sets a value that indicates whether identifiable client information is injected into the license acquisition.
Public propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows PhoneLicenseServerUriOverrideGets or sets a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) value that overrides whatever the license server URI is in the content header.
Public methodAcquireLicenseAsync(Byte[])Starts the license acquisition process.
Public methodAcquireLicenseAsync(Guid)Starts the license acquisition process.
Public methodAcquireLicenseAsync(Stream)Starts the license acquisition process by specifying a media stream.
Public methodAcquireLicenseAsync(Guid, ContentKeyType, Guid)Starts the license acquisition process.
Public methodCancelAsyncCancels a license acquisition.
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows PhoneEquals(Object)Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows PhoneFinalizeAllows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows PhoneGetHashCodeServes as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows PhoneGetTypeGets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows PhoneMemberwiseCloneCreates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows PhoneOnAcquireLicenseThe default implementation of this method calls into the MediaElement to acquire a license. You should override this method if you want to handle the license acquisition yourself.
Protected methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows PhoneOnCancelOverridden in a derived class to implement cancellation during manual license acquisition.
Protected methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows PhoneSetLicenseResponseSets the license response by passing the SOAP body from the HTTP response to the license challenge.
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows PhoneToStringReturns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public eventAcquireLicenseCompletedOccurs when the license acquisition completes.
This class knows where to find the PlayReady License Server and how to request a license from that server. This class can be subclassed and overridden to provide custom license-acquiring behavior, such as adding business data or authentication tokens to the request.
If you start multiple asynchronous operations on the same LicenseAcquirer or DomainAcquirer, an InvalidOperationException is thrown.
You can use a LicenseAcquirer instance in one of the following two states:
1. Attached to a MediaElement.
2. Through AcquireLicenseAsync methods calls.
If you use a LicenseAcquirer instance in state 1, then for the rest of its lifetime, you can only use it through that MediaElement. You cannot reassign the LicenseAcquirer instance to another MediaElement and you cannot use it with the AcquireLicenseAsync methods.
If you use a LicenseAcquirer instance through AcquireLicenseAsync methods calls, then it cannot be assigned to a MediaElement even after the AcquireLicenseAsync operation has fully completed.
When you create a LicenseAcquirer instance, it is in neither state 1 nor state 2. State 1 is only entered when the LicenseAcquirer instance is actually assigned to the MediaElement. State 2 is entered when AcquireLicenseAsync is first called (regardless of success or failure of the operation).
The LicenseAcquirer class is used by the MediaElement to handle acquiring licenses for DRM encrypted content from a PlayReady License Server. You can create a derived class from the LicenseAcquirer class and add custom logic like adding your own custom authentication scheme to the license request.
The following example shows how to override the LicenseAcquirer class (named "ManualLicenseAcquirer") and have a MediaElement use it to acquire the license.
<StackPanel x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="Gray" Orientation="Vertical">
<MediaElement x:Name="myME" Height="100"/>

myME.LicenseAcquirer = new ManualLicenseAcquirer(myME.Name);

myME.LicenseAcquirer.LicenseServerUriOverride = new Uri("http://contoso.com/myLicenseServer.asmx", UriKind.Absolute);

// Set the source of the MediaElement to the URL of the media encrypted with WMDRM.

void myME_MediaFailed(object sender, ExceptionRoutedEventArgs e)
string errorMessage = "";
if (e.ErrorException.ToString().Contains(" 6001 "))
errorMessage = "The individualization component software failed to" +
" download to the user’s computer. This error would" +
" come up when the MediaElement is in the Individualizing" +
" MediaElementState. One possible reason for this error is" +
" that the Silverlight client cannot connect the Microsoft" +
" Individualization Server.";
else if (e.ErrorException.ToString().Contains(" 6004 "))
errorMessage = " The installation of Silverlight on the client is" +
" out of date and needs to be updated.";
errorMessage = "MediaFailed: " + e.ErrorException.Message + ".";
// makes license request explicitly
public class ManualLicenseAcquirer : LicenseAcquirer
private string challengeString;
string _mediaElementName;
public ManualLicenseAcquirer(string mediaElementName)
_mediaElementName = mediaElementName;
// The default implementation of OnAcquireLicense calls into the MediaElement to acquire a
// license. It is called when the Media pipeline is building a topology and will be raised
// before MediaOpened is raised.
protected override void OnAcquireLicense(System.IO.Stream licenseChallenge, Uri licenseServerUri)
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(licenseChallenge);
challengeString = sr.ReadToEnd();
// Need to resolve the URI for the License Server -- make sure it is correct
// and store that correct URI as resolvedLicenseServerUri.
Uri resolvedLicenseServerUri;
if (LicenseServerUriOverride == null)
resolvedLicenseServerUri = licenseServerUri;
resolvedLicenseServerUri = LicenseServerUriOverride;
// Make a HttpWebRequest to the License Server.
HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(resolvedLicenseServerUri) as HttpWebRequest;
request.Method = "POST";
// Set ContentType through property
request.ContentType = "application/xml";
// The headers below are necessary so that error handling and redirects are handled
// properly via the Silverlight client.
request.Headers["msprdrm_server_redirect_compat"] = "false";
request.Headers["msprdrm_server_exception_compat"] = "false";
// Initiate getting request stream
IAsyncResult asyncResult = request.BeginGetRequestStream(new AsyncCallback(RequestStreamCallback), request);
// This method is called when the asynchronous operation completes.
void RequestStreamCallback(IAsyncResult ar)
HttpWebRequest request = ar.AsyncState as HttpWebRequest;
// populate request stream
request.ContentType = "text/xml";
Stream requestStream = request.EndGetRequestStream(ar);
StreamWriter streamWriter = new StreamWriter(requestStream, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
// Make async call for response
request.BeginGetResponse(new AsyncCallback(ResponseCallback), request);
private void ResponseCallback(IAsyncResult ar)
HttpWebRequest request = ar.AsyncState as HttpWebRequest;
WebResponse response = request.EndGetResponse(ar);
In offline scenarios, users download a content file before they play it. Because downloading a media file can take time and bandwidth, consider validating the user license before allowing the download, instead of validating when the user attempts playback. The following example shows how to do this.
The following application uses a key identifier and an authentication token to send a license acquisition request to the license server. The license server responds with a license and the URL from which to download the content.
// Called when the user is online and wants to download some protected content.
public void GetLicensePreDelivery(string customData,
Guid keyId)
Uri licenseServerUrl = new Uri("http://contoso.com/myLicenseServer.asmx");
LicenseAcquirer acquirer = new LicenseAcquirer();
acquirer.ChallengeCustomData = customData;
// Set the License URI to proper License Server address.
acquirer.LicenseServerUriOverride = licenseServerUrl;
acquirer.AcquireLicenseCompleted += new EventHandler<AcquireLicenseCompletedEventArgs>(acquirer_Completed);
acquirer.AcquireLicenseAsync(keyId, ContentKeyType.Aes128Bit, Guid.Empty);
The AcquireLicenseAsync call completes after starting the license acquisition but without waiting for the long content download operation to finish. When the license acquisition actually completes, the delegate that is configured on the AcquireLicenseCompleted event is called. In this example, that is the acquirer_Completed method, and it might look something like in the following example.
public void acquirer_Completed(object sender, AcquireLicenseCompletedEventArgs e)
if (e.Error != null)
// take appropriate action. Might be retrying for instance.
else if (e.Cancelled)
// take appropriate action. Might be nothing.
// We acquired the license successfully, go ahead and download
// url in the LicenseAcquirer response custom data.
string contentAcquisitionUrl = e.ResponseCustomData;

'Seven Psychopaths' Stars Read 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' Dialogue
Screen Junkies asked Walken to read some of Mama June's famous sayings while he was promoting "Seven Psychopaths," Yep, Walken says "vajiggle jaggle." Sam Rockwell and Colin Farrell got in on the fun too, with Rockwell playing Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson and Farrell voicing "Chubbs."
"These are words?" Walken says. "You know, it's a little too hard."
Not here for my wonderful family being called psychopaths though :(

OMG OMG OMG These are words??? Hysterical!

I'm over people being so mean to this family. They're poor and fairly uneducated, but they also seem like genuinely nice people who care about each other. Like, why is that cool and hip to make fun of? It pisses me off tbh.
whossoulsister 10th-Oct-2012 11:38 pm (UTC)
i get so defensive when people are mean to them.
loganx2 10th-Oct-2012 11:40 pm (UTC)
How is it different than people being mean to any other reality show people? Im really asking, not being mean.
delleve 10th-Oct-2012 11:44 pm (UTC)
Because it's not a "oh, they're so vapid and rich and privileged" meanness. It's a straight up "oh, look at how uncivilized and ugly they are!" meanness and it's fucked up.
logan_lerman 11th-Oct-2012 12:11 am (UTC)
ikr they're a much better family than the kardashians
mistyraven 11th-Oct-2012 12:13 am (UTC)
Because poor southerners are funny, duh
IA although it kind of made my day to hear Christopher Walken say "vajiggle jaggle"
sugary_placenta 11th-Oct-2012 01:46 am (UTC)
same. i think they're a sweet family.
ts231 11th-Oct-2012 04:18 am (UTC)
i've become such a honey boo boo stan tbh. i genuinely love their family and the fact that they are the anti-kardashian.
mankini 11th-Oct-2012 08:20 pm (UTC)
It was really striking to me how loving and accepting they are. They're an easy target and TLC's editing plays a part in that.
buddha_obrien 10th-Oct-2012 11:37 pm (UTC)
vajiggle jaggle must become part of my everyday speech

sam rockwell with the british accent just GETS IT
tx5mym5 11th-Oct-2012 12:58 am (UTC)
ikr? Perfection.
He was really having fun in this interview.
duckyduck92 10th-Oct-2012 11:40 pm (UTC)
also, makes me think of this:
backincharge 11th-Oct-2012 12:05 am (UTC)
Oh please, who the hell wants to watch educational programming when you have thousands of other channels offering something that's actually entertaining to watch.
duckyduck92 11th-Oct-2012 12:17 am (UTC)
tx5mym5 11th-Oct-2012 01:00 am (UTC)
There's nothing wrong with educational programs. They can be entertaining also.
I mean, History Detectives and NOVA are awesome! Don't even get me started on Frontline!
holypotatoes1 11th-Oct-2012 01:13 am (UTC)
Bitch, go watch Nova and try to say that again.
sprywonderdog 11th-Oct-2012 03:22 am (UTC)
Sesame Street, Mister Rogers, Reading Rainbow, Carmen Sandiego, The Electric Company, Bill Nye the Science Guy, Lamb Chop, Magic School Bus? Seriously, no one watched those growing up because they just weren't entertaining at all.
elvenqueen86 11th-Oct-2012 04:05 am (UTC)
I get most of my documentaries and stuff from british TV now (they do have some pretty amazing ones though tbh) :-( I miss the old TLC, History Channel, and Discovery channel.
movielooney 10th-Oct-2012 11:41 pm (UTC)
My beautiful, amazing, underrated Sam Rockwell <3333333
pin_stripe 10th-Oct-2012 11:46 pm (UTC)

fabuleuxx 10th-Oct-2012 11:42 pm (UTC)
Wtf was Colin's accent lol. It was like a mesh of Clint Eastwood and Speedy Gonzalez.
la_petite_singe 10th-Oct-2012 11:44 pm (UTC)
I still hate the sneaky classism associated with this show, but I gotta stan for this movie; it's so gr8. ♥ ♥ ♥
callingstars 10th-Oct-2012 11:47 pm (UTC)
every time i see colin i think of his sex tape and how he was so into eating the girl out, saying something like "this is breakfast, lunch and dinner right here".
mistress_f 10th-Oct-2012 11:57 pm (UTC)
nobodynomore 10th-Oct-2012 11:52 pm (UTC)
ahahaha that is my favorite part, tbh.
herenorthere18 11th-Oct-2012 12:25 am (UTC)
WHAT??!!! Are you serious?
karis_azura 11th-Oct-2012 01:27 am (UTC)
He has also said many times that he doens't give a fuck that his sex tape leaked, I think that sexy mo fo was proud of himself lol
gonexforgotten 11th-Oct-2012 01:30 am (UTC)
It's all I can think of when I see him tbh
diamantfabriken 11th-Oct-2012 02:43 am (UTC)
Colin Farrell, honorary lesbian.
the idea of sketti makes me want to projectile vomit everywhere
fabuleuxx 11th-Oct-2012 12:12 am (UTC)
hocus_pocus 10th-Oct-2012 11:49 pm (UTC)
yeah let's make fun of the poor ppl who aren't educated to make ourselves feel better
i like making fun of rich uneducated people more
devourlove 10th-Oct-2012 11:49 pm (UTC)
"Not here for my wonderful family being called psychopaths though :("
that's the title of a production though, isn't it? Like a movie or show or something?
anyway, this family is cute. People want to make fun of them for their situation, as is the norm with classism, but they really love each other and they're more honest and down-to-earth than a lot of people on reality TV nowadays.
vehiclesshockme 11th-Oct-2012 12:09 am (UTC)
The interviewer referred to Alana's family as being the closest thing to psychopaths.
devourlove 11th-Oct-2012 12:17 am (UTC)
ty for clearing that up. oop @ me not watching the video lol
bluepassiflora 10th-Oct-2012 11:50 pm (UTC)
I'd like to see Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken dance together.
mistress_f 10th-Oct-2012 11:56 pm (UTC)
that would be amazing. omg
ztrellitaa 11th-Oct-2012 12:54 am (UTC)
there needs to be a scene like that. sam rockwell can't not dance in his movies.
