LONDON (AP) — Around the 2012 Olympics and its host city with journalists from The Associated Press bringing the flavor and details of the games to you:
It's not easy catching up with the fastest man in the world. Just ask tennis star Novak Djokovic who's been searching in vain.
He's probably wasting his time. An Olympic official hinted Thursday that Usain Bolt is not staying in the athletes village. It's not so much a question of Bolt preferring swankier accommodations. As one of the highest-profile athletes in these games, it would be difficult for him to move around without attracting large crowds.
It's a big city, and he's no slouch. But he's got to turn up somewhere, right?

China's already slim chances in men's basketball just took a serious blow when star forward Yi Jianlian went down with a knee injury.
Yi appeared to twist his right knee late in a loss to Australia on Thursday.
Yi had to be helped off the floor by teammates and he was still limping badly when the game was over.
Chinese coach Bob Donewald says it's too soon to tell how serious the injury is. Yi will be examined by doctors later in the afternoon.
Yi, an NBA player, played most recently for the Dallas Mavericks.

Another day, another Olympics security check. It feels like you're in permanent airport mode. Off comes the belt, out comes the laptop, no liquids.
A security worker at the Lee Valley White Water Centre in Waltham Cross, site of Thursday's canoe slalom events, brightened the mood by tossing out candy and yelling "Come on. Have a sweet! It's all part of the Olympic experience!"

"Without sounding like a parent, which I am, I would say, 'Drink wisely.'" — IOC spokesman Mark Adams on the Australian who was detained in an incident police say was related to alcohol.
With every step or swipe of the stick, a rooster-tail like stream of water splashes up from the blue turf at Riverbank Arena
The field hockey surface is kept heavily watered down to keep the ball from bouncing, and workers use water guns before each game to ensure the turf is wet enough.
It creates the appearance of a soaking wet sponge that's constantly being squeezed.

Among those in the crowd Thursday for the U.S. vs. Australia women's hockey game: an NCAA referee and a family that cut short their vacation to see the game.
Sandie Inglis, an NCAA referee since 1990, waved her American flag high before settling into her seat. She views the game far more in-depth than the casual fan. "The turf is very fast, and at the international level, you expect to see finer skills, and execution with speed and great control," Inglis says.
She was seated next to the Matousek family from Wilmette, Ill. They'd been vacationing in Paris when they learned they could get tickets to field hockey, a game both their teenage daughters play.
"It's fast paced and it's fun, but I think it's more fun to play than watch," said 15-year-old Nicole.

The disgraced badminton players who have been dismissed from the Olympics aren't the only ones who could face penalties related to games being dumped to get more favorable matchups in later rounds.
Mark Adams says the IOC has asked the Olympic committees of both nations to look into whether other officials, including coaches, should face discipline as well.
Two teams from South Korea, one from China and another from Indonesia were disqualified from the competition for trying to lose games.
Adams says it is up to the committees to determine if more sanctions are necessary.
"We're working together with all of them and just making sure also that it isn't just the athletes being punished," Adams says.

John Isner is one of the few who can say he's beaten Roger Federer. Now he has to do it again and on an Olympic stage, no less.
Isner faces Federer on Thursday on Centre Court at Wimbledon, which has been Federer's stomping ground for the better part of a decade. The Swiss superstar has won a record-tying seven Wimbledon titles, so he feels right at home in the London Games.
To advance, Federer will have to handle the 6-foot-9 Isner's mammoth serve.
"We know he's got one of the best serves on tour, if not the best," Federer says. "That obviously makes it complicated getting into rallies, into rhythm. That's grasscourt tennis."
Isner is 1-3 in his career against Federer.
"He's the hottest guy on the tour, he's back to No. 1 in the world," Isner says. "I'm going to have to serve well."

He rode. Then he cut loose.
After winning the time trial for his seventh Olympic medal, cyclist Bradley Wiggins marked the moment by getting "blind drunk." It was a very public binge, with Wiggins posting messages and pictures on Twitter as he celebrated gold near St. Paul's Cathedral.
"Getting wasted," he tweeted, accompanied by a picture in which he was posing with a drink and flicking the V for victory sign.
And Wiggins wasn't slowing down.
Later, the Tour de France champion tweeted: "Blind drunk at the minute ... it's been emotional."
British Olympic chief Colin Moynihan says Wiggins was "thoroughly entitled to have a fantastic party."

A bit of trouble for an Australian rower Thursday morning: Josh Booth was detained by police for allegedly causing damage to a London storefront. Authorities say it was an alcohol-related incident, and it happened hours after he competed in the men's eight at the Olympic rowing basin.
Australian team chief Nick Green says Booth fainted while at the police station and was taken to the hospital. He was released a short time later and was not charged.
Green, who says he received a call from police at 3 a.m. Thursday about the incident, says he'll make a decision on potential disciplinary action after he receives more information from the police and Booth.
The 21-year-old Booth made his Olympic debut as the Australians finished sixth in the six-crew final of the eight at Windsor outside London on Wednesday.

The 17-year-old Missile is back in the pool on Thursday looking for more.
Missy Franklin goes for her second individual gold and third overall of the London Games. She won the 100-meter backstroke Monday night and was part of the winning 4x200 freestyle relay on Wednesday night.
Franklin is becoming one the breakout stars of these Olympics. But she wouldn't be in position for a third gold without an incredible anchor leg from Allison Schmitt in the relay that reeled in the Australians.
"Allison is a fighter and she can push through anything," Franklin says. "We had total faith in her."

While his colleagues blogged, tweeted and filed stories with their smartphones and tablets from a media boat on Weymouth Bay during the London Olympics regatta, veteran British sailing scribe Bob Fisher regaled them with a yarn about how the games were covered 40 years ago.
Fisher recalled being on a media boat on the opening day of sailing at the Munich Olympics — the sailing venue was in Kiel — when a photographer from an evening newspaper in Copenhagen, Denmark, boarded with a wicker hamper.
"In it wasn't his lunch," Fisher said.
Turns out the hamper contained a carrier pigeon. Fisher said that after taking a picture of Denmark's Paul Elvstrom at the start of the Soling race, the photographer put his camera in a changing bag, snipped off a negative, rolled it up tight and put it into a screw-top aluminum can. He strapped the canister to one leg of the carrier pigeon and released it.
"That picture appeared on the front page of the Copenhagen paper that evening," Fisher said. "Here's a guy who thought on his feet. Obviously he'd done it before, or had practiced it."
Fisher has written 35 books and is working on three more books about the America's Cup, including one titled "The Poisoned Chalice."

Time for round two of Phelps vs. Lochte.
The United States' two biggest male swimming stars go at it a second time at the London Games, with the latest coming in the 200-meter individual medley final on Thursday.
Michael Phelps won his record-setting 19th career Olympic medal and 15th gold in the 4x200-meter freestyle relay Tuesday night. Lochte is the world record holder in the 200 IM.
Lochte beat Phelps earlier in these Olympics with a resounding win in the 400 individual medley.

A rowing club founded nearly 200 years ago and located on the leafy banks of the River Thames is celebrating an extraordinary milestone achieved at the Olympic Games.
Members of the Leander Club, which claims to be the most successful sporting institution in the world, had won 99 Olympic medals for Britain dating back to 1908 before the start of London 2012.
Well, they've just topped the 100 mark.
Five members of the Henley-based club were part of the British men's eight that captured bronze in Wednesday's thrilling final at Dorney Lake. That result sparked a mass clinking of glasses as the Leander officials who failed to land tickets for the race packed into the dining room and bar area at the club to watch it on giant TV screens.
"Obviously it's a significant milestone, but it's part of our long-term plans to carry on being the main feeder club of new talent into the GB international system," says Leander official Robert Treharne Jones.
Heck, many countries haven't won 104 Olympic medals.
That's not the end of the matter. There are still 14 Leander rowers involved in finals at Dorney Lake over the next three days.

A sampling of the more bizarre examples of strict enforcement of branding restrictions against non-Olympic sponsors:
Pimms, that quintessentially English liqueur, cannot be listed on any menus during the games, even at Wimbledon, where tennis is taking place and where Pimms is as traditional as strawberries and cream. The gin-based drink, which is not an Olympic sponsor, is instead being referred to as "No. 1 Cup."
And the Goodyear Blimp, ubiquitous at sporting events around the globe, has been stripped of any corporate reference, prompting more than a few double-takes from sky-gazing fans.
Some journalists have been surprised to see Olympic workers taping over the logos on their Dell and Apple computers, since neither company is bankrolling the games, and the U.S. women's soccer team has been told not to hand out its media guide because it has 12 small logos of its sponsors — which are not official Olympics 2012 backers.

Harden scores 34, Rockets beat Warriors 105-83
HOUSTON (AP) — The Rockets' offense is one of the best in the NBA. However, against Golden State on Friday night, it was the defense that was the key.
Houston leaned on its defense in the first quarter while jumping out to a double-digit lead it didn't relinquish.
James Harden scored 34 points, Dwight Howard had 22 points and 18 rebounds, and the Rockets beat the Warriors 105-83.
Terrence Jones added 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Rockets, who had lost two straight. Harden shot 13 for 22 from the field and 7 for 9 on free throws two nights after shooting 3 for 17 — including 0 for 10 on 3-pointers — against Phoenix.
Howard was 12 for 20 on free throws as the Rockets finished 25 for 39 from the line. Houston was also 45 percent from the field.
"That's the way we play," Harden said. "If we don't get after them on the defensive end, it's going to be tough for us. We were getting huge stops and getting out in transition. We did a good job early in the game of putting pressure on their guards, and we got things going our way."
Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 22 points and five assists, but was just 5 of 14 from the field while making all 11 free-throw attempts. Harrison Barnes had 14 points and seven rebounds, Kent Bazemore added 12 and David Lee 11 points as the Warriors saw their two-game win streak end.
Golden State shot 36 percent from the field, including 2 for 16 on 3s.
"They're a tough team," Houston coach Kevin McHale said. "They shoot a lot of 3s. They shoot them at a really high percentage. We were trying to get them off the line and keep pressure on them and keep our bids up so they just couldn't walk into shots. For the most part, we did a very good job of that."
Golden State coach Mark Jackson said it was a bad loss.
"The way we started the ball game, there have been times when our bench has been bad, and we let them know, and tonight, the starters did a poor job of setting the tone," Jackson said. "We got outworked. They played with more force and that set the tone the rest of the way."
The Rockets led 61-37 at halftime and pushed the advantage to 28 on Harden's three-point play less than 2 minutes into the third quarter.
Golden State pulled to 74-50 on Jermaine O'Neal's jumper midway through the third, and the Warriors resorted to 'Hack-a-Howard' with 5:40 remaining in the period.
Howard made 2 of 4 from the line, and the Warriors pulled to 76-54 on O'Neal's layup with 5:06 to go in the quarter. Howard connected on the next two free throws, and the Warriors went away from hacking him.
Golden State got no closer than 15 points the rest of the way.
"It's like tonight we didn't hit shots early, and we have a tendency to dwell on that, and we weren't getting stops and we can't turn the ball over on offense," Curry said. "We gave them extra possessions early in the game to get their confidence going."
Houston opened up a 31-12 lead after the first quarter on 60-percent shooting from the field.
The Rockets hit nine of their first 11 field goals as Jones led the way with 11 points in the quarter and Howard had nine.
"We did the best job we could on making sure those guys didn't get 3s off tonight, and that's where it started," Howard said. "Our defense was great from the beginning. We had a lot of deflections. We ran the floor well and put pressure on their guards to make plays to other guys instead of them coming off and scoring."
Golden State opened the second with five straight points to pull within 14 on Curry's 3, but the Rockets responded with a 16-6 spurt over a 5-minute stretch to open up a 55-30 lead on Patrick Beverley's layup with 1:30 to go in the half. Harden had eight points in the run.
The Warriors shot 27 percent from the field and hit 1 of 8 from beyond the arc in the first half after scoring 19 points in the first quarter three nights earlier against Toronto and trailing by 17 at the half.
"I know there is a reason for it that's excusable," Klay Thompson said of the slow starts. "It's very disappointing. As a starter, we have to come out there with unlimited energy."
NOTES: Houston forward Chandler Parsons returned after missing the last two games with back spasms. Parsons finished with eight points and five assists on 3-of-13 shooting in 34 minutes. ... The Warriors' 12 first quarter points tied a season low for a quarter and was the Warriors' fewest points in a first quarter. ... The 12 first-quarter points was also a season-low for points in a quarter allowed by the Rockets.

thats surprising, my original one has nowhere near that much orange paint on it, just a little overspray on the sides and top. Mine does have a large yellow crayon mark on the right side it though, maybe an inspection mark of some sort.

Let's eat badly, let's watch adults drink wine and laugh at their idiocy, let's sit in the back of the car making eye contact with strangers driving past, making them uncomfortable, Not caring, not swearing, don't look. Let's both reclaim our superpowers, the ones we all have and lose with our milk teeth, the ability not to fear social awkwardness, the panic when locked in the cellar, still sure there's something down there, and while picking through pillows each feather, let's both stay away from the edge of the bed, forcing us closer together. Let's sit in public, with ice-cream all over both our faces, sticking our tongues out at passers-by, let's cry, let's swim, let's everything, let's not find it funny, lest someone falls over. Classical music is boring, poetry baffles us both, there's nothing that's said is what's meant, plays are long, tiresome, sullen and filled with hours that could be spent rolling down hills and grazing our knees on cement. Let's hear stories and both lose our innocence, learn about parents and forgiveness, death and morality, kindness and heart, thus losing both of our innocent hearts, but at least we wont do it apart.

Because my ubuntu partion was to small, I have enlarged it with the Ubuntu LiveCD + GParted.
All went fairly well (it said there were 2 warnings, but nothing severly), but afterwards, after I have logged in, the touchpad stops working.
Strange thing is, in the login screen, it still works perfectly, and an external USB mouse also works.
I have a HP DV6 2030sd laptop with Ubuntu 10.04 installed.
Does anyone know what steps I can take to solve this problem?

I'm looking at how best to launch a project using subdomains to create around 10 'minisites' of sufficiently differing content using the subdomain as branding. There will never really be much content whatsoever on the main domain, it will only act as landing page for the subdomains with some aggregate content.
Are there any pitfalls I need to be aware of with this approach? I assume I should set canonical link tag to subject.domain.com and add said address in webmaster tools, repeating the action for further subdomain minisites as they're added? With this approach I will never really have much content on the main domain, it will only act as landing page for the minisites with some aggregate content.
Thanks very much for advice. While this is my first question here I'm seasoned on SO so not liable to hit and run.

I tried to start this thread on the Newbie page, but maybe it will work better here. I bought (well, leased...) my Leaf on Sept. 7, a ocean blue SL I've decided to nickname "Neptune." The color and space age design inspired that.
Anyway, who else owns a Leaf around here? And what's the scoop on public chargers? I went to Easton the night I purchased my car and discovered that you need a card to activate the Blink stations. So, I ordered one of those, and then signed up for the freebie Chargepoint card. What else should I get?
What do we have here in the Columbus area that is free, as far as public chargers? And do we have any Level 3 chargers anywhere in the area?
Hope to see my fellow Leaf owners on the road...

There's something about Rajen Sheth that makes him want to attack seemingly immovable objects. Five years ago, who would have thought there was any point to offering an alternative to the one thing that everyone has installed on their workplace PC, whether it's running Windows or Mac OS: Microsoft Office.
When he first joined Google nearly seven years ago to start its enterprise division, Gmail was barely out of the gate and Blogger was the search giant's most notable acquisition. What could Google offer enterprises that they weren't already getting from Microsoft and Oracle and IBM and scores of other established software and hardware vendors?
The answer? An alternative. Sheth pitched Google's trio of senior executives–Eric Schmidt, Larry Page and Sergey Brin–on the idea of experimenting with standard office applications–a word processor, a spreadsheet–that operated entirely within a browser. The product evolved into Google Apps, and while Microsoft Office still dominates the enterprise desktop, it's widely accepted that Google Apps has made some important inroads against it: 3 million businesses use it in some way, and some 30 million people use it in their businesses.
Aside from the scores of companies, governments and non-profits that have adopted it, there are millions of college students using it, attracted by the zero-dollar price tag. Microsoft has responded with its own cloud-based office offering, Office 365, but its clear that Redmond's traditional grip on the enterprise desktop isn't quite as tight as it once was.
Now Sheth has an even bigger target in mind. If Office isn't so sacred, why does Windows have to be? As the Group Product Manager Chrome OS for Business, he makes an interesting argument that the Redmond-centric world of corporate desktops is quietly nursing a desire for change. Where will it come from? A combination of cloud computing, and a desktop that's stripped down to nothing but a browser. I talked with Sheth by phone earlier this month and my first question was about his education.
NewEnterprise: You did your undergraduate degree in electrical engineering, but now you work in software. Circuit design wasn't for you?
I realized I liked software a lot more than hardware. But I was most of the way through with electrical engineering at Stanford. So I did my masters in software.
Does having been educated first on hardware give you a different perspective on any of the work you're doing at Google?
It is actually relevant. A lot of what I've done involves software and user-facing interfaces, but it also involves a lot of infrastructure. When you look at VMWare, which is where I worked before Google, it's about what you can do with a combination of hardware and software and change the game. It's similar with Google Apps. It's a big set of user-facing applications, but the big thing is the cloud computing infrastructure that's underneath. The fundamental question is about how you wire computers together in the most efficient way possible. That is really the bread and butter underneath Google Apps. And finally with Chrome OS it's the same question: What can you do to the form factor of the hardware if you're really only running a browser on it. The background in hardware has served me well.
So you joined Google about seven years ago with the mission of creating something–you basically had a blank sheet of paper–that Google could offer the enterprise. And your first idea got shot down. What was it?
At the time I joined Google the enterprise division was literally 25 people. We had a few engineers and salespeople, and we brought in a manager, Dave Girouard. I came in with the explicit mission of starting something else within Google that was to be aimed at businesses. And that something else was completely undefined. When I was still at VMware, a friend sent me a Gmail invite, and I started using it, and it was better than my corporate mail. I thought it could be a very interesting enterprise product. After I joined, I pitched Eric, Larry and Sergey on the idea of putting Gmail into an appliance and shipping it out to corporations. They didn't go for it. I went back six months later, with some new insight, specifically that we could use our server architecture to make it easier for businesses and educational institutions to deploy and manage email, and that from there we could move up-market to deploy applications. We got exactly one engineer to work on that.
It was very much like running a start-up. I was the product manager and was tasked with starting this new business and we went through all the classic things that a start-up does. Building the product, building the team, selling the vision to an early set of adopters–San Jose City College was our first college customer and Northwestern and Arizona State followed after that. We started small and incubated it within Google. We did a lot of experimenting with that small team to see what was viable and eventually we were able to get more resources to make it bigger.
So how does the Google Apps experience compare to your new role in building a business around Chrome OS for businesses?
It's very similar. In Chrome OS I'm back in start-up mode. Essentially I'm trying to build a vision. We have a small team of people that all sit together in one area, building out the business model, and we're trying to start small and grow from there. One way to look at Google is as a closed confederation of start-ups. All these teams are empowered to build something that is visionary. But we all have a lot of leverage behind us, and so we're able to do a lot more than we ever would have been able to do if we were a small company.
I see a potential problem there: Don't all these start-ups within Google run the risk of creating independent silos or fiefdoms that aren't all on the same page? We hear a lot of criticism of the silos at companies like Sony or even Microsoft. Even at Google, there's Google Voice, which is a great product but doesn't really fit with anything else, though I understand it eventually will. But how do you avoid this silo problem?
It's a great question, and its something we've thought about a lot. There are basically two extremes. The first extreme is on one hand you have different teams doing things completely different from each other. The other extreme requires that everything be integrated extremely well together. We tried to find a happy medium. The benefit for one is that you can move quickly. But if you do the other extreme, you slow down innovation. Your project may take several times longer. One big advantage is the Google infrastructure is all there. You don't have to think about user authentication or how to store files. That's all done for you, so everyone is using the same infrastructure. A lot of the parts you need are there and you just build on top of them. You can never strike a perfect balance, but we think ours is pretty good.
So what's your mission with the Chrome OS?
My mission is to bring Chrome to business and to ask how we make it something that can reshape the enterprise desktop. The thing that was really intriguing for me, is that cloud computing has done so much for businesses. You don't need to think about deploying the hardware, you can just turn things on. You don't need to worry about massive up-front payments for hardware, you can just pay monthly for what you use. And your applications just keep getting better. In my mind the cloud really stops at the desktop.
The desktop is tremendously hard to manage. It costs a lot to maintain, most of the cost for a business is all in the maintenance. It doesn't get better over time, it gets slower as you use it. I think there's a huge opportunity to bring the principles of cloud computing to the desktop. It gets better, and it's fast and secure. That's the vision. We think we can do that because we have a unique operating system. It's just a browser that's completely stateless. As a result of that, you can boot up in 5 to 10 seconds. And no matter where you go, you log in, you have your entire desktop. If the system breaks, that's not a problem, you just jump on to another system. If you lose it, it's not a problem because its stateless.
There are people who would say its crazy to try and dislodge Windows as the operating system of choice for businesses, and yet you think you can do it. What kind of results have you seen so far?
If you just have a browser and take out everything else, life gets a lot simpler. And this is why I think that the desktop OS is ready for a radical change much like the enterprise applications were a few years ago. One thing we've found is that very significant portions of the population are using only a browser right now. Those trends show that this area is ripe for a change. If you look down the line in three years, the majority of those business users will use only a browser. We created this pilot device called the Cr48, which is a notebook with Chrome OS installed on it. We received 50,000 applications from businesses interested in trying it, and we now have thousands deployed in the field. We have companies like Intercontinental Hotel Group, Virgin American and Groupon using them for different things. We've even heard from the US Army Intelligence Office. We heard from a lot of companies we didn't expect interest from.
I think you'll see some early adopters, groups of users within companies, this year. Some companies' pilot programs want to do large roll-outs to call centers and to customer service reps and some want to roll them out to mobile sales people. Many will find that it makes sense to them because it brings the cost down. No one wants to pay to have to fix a system that's broken because two applications are in conflict with each other. No one wants to pay to go patch an operating system. That kind of thing is going to become a lot easier with Chrome OS.

There is conflicting information as to the purpose of this building. Some information seems to indicate that this site was a World War II-era radar site. Perhaps a transmitter site, associated with the large antenna atop the nearby mountain-top.
Other information suggests that this building was part of the communications system assembled by railway that would bring Newfoundland into Canada, and part of the viewership of the CBC. Its proximity to the former railroad does seem to support that.
There will be further updates as I find out more.

The weather in Southern California this week is warm and dry and beautiful. Much more comfortable than Charlotte, where the Democrats will hold their national convention next week. And not dodging the path of a storm, unlike Tampa, where the Republicans are gathering this week.
It's enough to make you wonder: what does California do to get a political convention back this way?
We're the perfect convention state -- San Diego (which hosted the GOP in 1996), LA (which hosted in 2000 and 1960, the historic JFK convention) or San Francisco would be perfect hosts. Delegates would like to come here. There's plenty of media nearby. And our weather isn't all that humid in late summer.
U.S. & World
So why not?
The obvious answer is that our elections in this era are too close to make California attractive as a convention site. Presidential races are decided in a dozen or so swing states. And California, now solidly in the Democratic column, isn't one of them. The parties have decided that it's worth going to places like Charlotte and Tampa to reach voters in important swing states like North Carolina and Florida.
So how do we get back in the convention game?
The short answer to that is: money.
If a California city were willing to cover the costs of a convention, it might lure back one party or the other. Of course, California ciites don't have much extra money, and conventions can create all kinds of headaches, financial and otherwise.
Los Angeles, which hosted the last national political convention (the Democrats in 2000), spent years dealing with litigation resulting from confrontations between cops and street protestors outside Staples Center.
All of which means that California has almost certainly hosted its last convention for quite a while.
At the risk of sounds like the blue state snob I am, this switch away to lesser cities in lesser, if more competitive states, is a loss for the country. A national political convention used to be big and classy -- like a fine steakhouse.
Today's political conventions are like a stop at Applebee's.

As discussed in IPCC (1996, WG I, Section 6.6), output from transient runs of atmosphere-ocean general circulation models (hereafter referred to simply as GCMs) has become available that can be used as the basis for improved regional analysis of potential climate change. The main emphasis of current analyses is on the simulation of seasonally averaged surface air temperature and precipitation. Climate scenario information for North America is available from several GCMs. In IPCC (1990, WG I), one of the five regions identified for analysis of regional climate change simulation was central North America (35-50�N, 85-105�W). Output for this region from different coupled model runs with dynamic oceans was analyzed by Cubasch et al. (1994) and Kittel et al. (1998). Results for central North America, as well as the other identified regions, are depicted in Figure B-1 (Annex B), which shows differences between region-average values at the time of CO2 doubling and the control run, as well as differences between control run averages and observations (hereafter referred to as bias) for winter and summer surface air temperature and precipitation. These model results reflect increasing CO2 only and do not include the effects of sulfate aerosols. The biases in Figure B-1 (Annex B) are presented as a reference for interpretation of the scenarios because it can be generally expected that the better the match between control run and observed climate (i.e., the lower the biases), the higher the confidence in the simulated change scenarios. A summary of these transient model experiments is given in Table B-1 (Annex B). Most experiments use a rate of CO2 increase of 1%/year, yielding a doubling of CO2 after 70 years.
Scenarios produced for central North America by these transient experiments vary quite widely among models for temperature but less so for precipitation. GCM simulations also have been conducted that consider the effect of combined greenhouse gas- and direct sulfate aerosol-forcing on temperature, precipitation, and soil moisture (see Annex B). For central North America, the inclusion of sulfate aerosols results in a projected warming of 0-0.5�C in the summer and 1.4-3.4�C in the winter by the year 2100. In the case of precipitation, the inclusion of sulfate aerosol-forcing has little effect on the projections (see Annex B).
Using the Canadian Climate Centre (CCC) GCM (see Annex B), Lambert (1995) found a 4% decrease in cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere, though the frequency of intense cyclones increased. Lambert hypothesized that the latent heat effect is responsible for the greater number of intense storms. No change in storm tracks was evident. A few areas showed increased frequencies, such as off Cape Hatteras, over Hudson Bay, and west of Alaska. These results are similar to those of Rowntree (1993), who found a 40% increase in Atlantic gales, though fewer intense storms over eastern North America. Hall et al. (1994) and Carnell et al. (1996) found an intensification and northward shift of storm tracks.
Regarding sea-level rise scenarios, for IPCC Scenario IS92a, global mean sea level is projected to be about 50 cm higher by 2100 than today, with a range of uncertainty of 20-86 cm (IPCC 1996, WG I, Section 7.5). It is possible that for much of the North American coastline, future sea-level rise will be greater than the global average, given the higher historical rates of sea-level rise along the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coasts (see Section 8.2.2). By contrast, future sea-level rise along the Pacific coast may be less than the global average rise because of this region's generally lower historical rates. Even less sea-level rise might be expected in extreme northern North America, given the historical drop in sea levels at many locations (Titus and Narayanan, 1996).

Network requirements
If you are working on a local area network, there are some network settings that will allow VoiceThread to function quickly and reliably. Please pass this information along to your local network administrator so he or she can make any necessary changes.
The following URLs must be open on your local network:
- http://prod-cdn.voicethread.com (for browsing content)
- https://prod-cdn.voicethread.com (for browsing content)
- http://media.voicethread.com (for recording audio and video)
- https://media.voicethread.com (for recording audio and video)
- http://prod-streams-vt.s3.amazonaws.com/ (for playback of recordings)
- https://prod-streams-vt.s3.amazonaws.com/ (for playback of recordings)
- http://prod-export-vt.s3.amazonaws.com/ (for exporting)
- https://prod-export-vt.s3.amazonaws.com/ (for exporting)
If you have a firewall, you should allow access to media.voicethread.com on port 1935. If you are using a proxy server, or if your firewall filters based on packet content, you may need to do more advanced configuration. To see if you've got it right, you can take the test on this page: http://voicethread.com/test/media.swf. Please note that port 1935 is RTMP (a media streaming protocol) and not HTTP; this means that your proxy must pass a direct connection through. If your proxy attempts to treat all traffic as HTTP, then RTMP over port 1935 may fail.
Adequate bandwidth for the number of local users
Computer labs with many users simultaneously recording commentary can strain local bandwidth resources, so some trial and error might be necessary to find the maximum number of simultaneous users that your network connection will allow. If you are using an asymmetric network connection (such as most cable modem and DSL connections), you will find that upstream bandwidth may be an issue even though there is plenty of downstream bandwidth. This is because uploading and recording use upstream bandwidth, and connections commonly have 10-20 times as much downstream bandwidth as upstream.
If you wish to verify your connection speed, please use a speed testing service such as http://speedtest.net/. Pay particular attention to the upstream speed shown. This is the limiting factor for commenting and uploading.
Proxies for full VoiceThread functionality
Your proxy must allow actual plain TCP connections (not just HTTP) on port 1935, as well as HTTP on port 80 and HTTPS on port 443 to the VoiceThread servers, as defined above.
You must accept e-mail from the voicethread.com and amazonses.com domains. Please note that VoiceThread e-mail is easy to verify, as we have implemented a number of e-mail authentication technologies (DKIM and SPF).
If you are using a Barracuda Networks anti-spam appliance, please make sure to specifically whitelist voicethread.com; the Barracuda device may otherwise be prone to false positives.
If you are using the Lightspeed Systems anti-spam solution, we strongly recommend that you whitelist voicethread.com. While we will attempt to catch any verification attempts, this may result in substantial delays in invitations and notifications.

President Barack Obama's visit to the country, as secretary-general of the Palestinian National Initiative Dr Mustafa Barghouti noted, will be met by unethusiasm by the Palestinian people. As Obama touched down at the Ben Gurion airport yesterday and was greeted by Israel's President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (who had managed to form a government before the given deadline), Obama proceeded to give a speech where he reaffirmed the USA's solid support for Israel precisely because it is the USA's "fundamental national security interest" to do so.
Yet if Obama's visit is widely seen by Palestinians as only to stand with Israel and not as bringing peace to both sides, they can expect even worse from Israel's newly formed coalition government as a "partner for peace."
On the surface, Israeli political star Yair Lapid's first speech to the Knesset was a ray of hope in a dark landscape of institutionalized racism and violence. Lapid, whose Yesh Atid party has 19 of 68 seats in the newly formed coalition government, spoke out against settler violence and the impunity granted to settlers by Israel, describing West Bank settlements as existing in a state of "anarchy." Israeli newspaper Haaretz emphasized Lapid's pro-peace process rhetoric, noting that he "urge[d] a swift return to talks with the Palestinians."
But a deeper look at Yesh Atid's policies and Yair Lapid's personal views reveals a deeply incoherent stance on peace talks and a troubling undercurrent of collaboration with extremist settlers.
Hypocrisy in calls for peace negotiations
From the moment of Yesh Atid's founding, Lapid has insisted that peace talks leading to the creation of a Palestinian state are a necessary step forward for the Israeli government. In his first speech as the party's chairman, Lapid stated categorically that "Yesh Atid will not join a government that will not conduct diplomatic negotiations" with Palestinians.
But Lapid's own party platform forestalls the possibility of "diplomatic negotiations." Although Lapid agrees that no new settlements should be built during negotiations, he rejects the idea of a settlement freeze. Lapid believes existing settlements should be allowed to expand to accommodate growing populations. As +972 magazine points out, this has been the Israeli government's official position since the signing of the Oslo accords, during which time the settler population has more than tripled.
Since a settlement freeze is a necessary precondition in order for Palestinians to reenter peace talks, this means that Lapid himself is acting as the main obstacle to reopening negotiations, while at the same time insisting that negotiations must be reopened.
This kind of pernicious doublespeak is nothing new in politics, and Lapid may very well have learned the game from the man whose success he modeled his campaign after, US President Barack Obama. In the run-up to the 2008 elections that made him president, Obama promised that, if elected, he would close the notorious GITMO prison where thousands of human-rights violations have taken place over the last decade.
But Obama's plan to close the prison, located in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, contained within it a proposal that made the prison's closing impossible. In fact, Obama did not attempt to actually close the prison, but merely to relocate it (and all the prisoners currently held there) into US territory, a plan that was unacceptable to the US Congress for obvious reasons. Obama then blamed the failure to close GITMO on Congress, rather than taking personal responsibility for his refusal to free the wrongly accused at GITMO, many of whom are still held in inhuman conditions despite the fact that over half the prisoners there have been cleared for release. In a final signal that Obama has no intention of ever ending the injustice taking place at GITMO, his administration recently closed the office responsible for closing GITMO.
Now that Israel's new coalition government has formed, it will likely be a very short time before Lapid makes a similar move. In the coming months, look for him to sabotage peace negotiations and then blame rival Knesset parties for this failure.
The centrist and the settler
Perhaps more disturbing still is Lapid's emerging alliance with extremist settler Naftali Bennett, whose HaBayit HaYehudi ("Jewish Home") party has 12 seats in the newly-formed coalition government. This means the new coalition government is made up of three main elements: Netanyahu's war-mongering Likud party, the malleable "centrists" of Yesh Atid, and the far-right Jewish Home.
Bennett and Jewish Home represent a tangible threat not only to the creation of a Palestinian state, but to the safety of the Palestinian people. Bennett's platform, explained by the Jewish Home party itself in this video, basically consists of the annexation of all of Area C and the forced removal of tens of thousands of Palestinians from their homes.
The party's extremist ideology is even worse than what's alluded to by the so-called "Partial Annexation Plan." One member of the Jewish Home party publicly called for the destruction of al-Aqsa mosque, and Bennett himself is not averse to engaging in racist revisionist history, such as when he claimed that "When Palestinians were climbing trees, we already had a state."
Disturbingly, the new Housing Minister is a member of the Jewish Home party who publicly vowed to increase construction in the settlements. Given that, in 2011 to 2012 alone, the Israeli government spent over 2 billion shekels (around 540 miliion dollars) on maintaining and expanding the settlements, an increase in construction is a frightening concept indeed.
Given Lapid's reputation as a centrist, it may seem surprising to hear he is building an alliance with Bennett or to see photos of Bennett and Lapid getting all buddy-buddy for the cameras at an illegal outpost settlement. But, as discussed above, Yesh Atid's platform has always been explicitly in favor of settlement expansion. In fact, the party's founding document was first revealed at a press conference in the settlement of Ariel.
Real Democracy, real change
During the elections, a committed group of Palestinian and Israeli activists worked to provide an alternative to mainstream Israeli politics. Real Democracy advocated "Electoral rebellion" through the means of providing votes to Palestinians barred from voting under the Israeli apartheid system.
As +972 magazine pointed out, 1 in 3 people living under Israeli rule are not allowed to vote. According to the members of Real Democracy, there can be no "real democracy" when so many people directly affected by Israeli policy have no voice in the elections.
"What we're saying is that there's no equality between people. So Palestinians are impacted by decisions made by Israelis, decisions that they can't take part in the making of," Real Democracy co-founder Shimri Zameret said. "And that's undemocratic, because democracy means that people influenced by a decision should have a say, an equal say in that decision."
The group used Facebook to make connections between Israelis looking to donate their votes to Palestinians and Palestinians hoping to vote in the Israeli elections. People would post messages and videos to the group's Facebook page offering to donate their vote or requesting that a vote be donated to them. Palestinians and Israelis thereby made contact and arranged where the votes would go, and on election day the Israelis posted pictures of their filled-out ballots to prove their votes really went where they were supposed to.
Palestinians were also given the option to have Israelis boycott the elections. Zameret said thousands of people participated and the votes were split almost evenly between boycotts and votes for Palestinian or joint Jewish-Muslim parties.
The Palestinian co-founder of the Real Democracy project, Mousa Abu Maria, said he voted for Haneen Zoabi's Balad party. Zoabi is a Palestinian citizen of Israel who was present aboard the "Freedom Flotilla" to Gaza in 2010, and she was nearly disqualified from the elections for her political views. (Yair Lapid, by the way, got himself into trouble recently by referring to all Arab members of the Knesset as "Zoabis" and stating he would not join a coalition with any of them.)
Abu Maria said the project was a symbolic statement, and he does not expect Israeli elections to ever lead to positive change for the Palestinian people.
"It will change for worse, not for good. Because when we talk about Netanyahu, you know, all the Palestinians and many of the government know about what Netanyahu did in the past, and what he will do in the future," he said.
The people who participated in Real Democracy, however, are not ready to give up the fight. Zameret said the group will stage a similar campaign in the next Israeli elections, and will continue the struggle for justice outside the realm of electoral politics.
"All of the people that participated in the campaign are involved in lots of other things and we're going to continue doing that work," he said. "And as for myself, I am going to still continue working on creating and democratizing institutions on all levels from local to global."
With the composition of the new Israeli government giving little hope for a better future, civil society groups like Real Democracy are the only rays of light in a political landscape scarred by racism and violence.

He is afraid that if he returns money that he stole before he was guided, he will be found out. What should he do?
I learned from the scholars that repentance is not valid unless I give people back what is rightfully theirs.
I worked in a company nearly ten years ago, and I stole a sum of money, the exact amount of which I cannot remember, but it was no more than one hundred dinars. Returning the money now may cause some problems for me and my family, especially since my family and I are still in touch with the owners of the company. What should I do?
Can I send the money to them via mail without mentioning my name, just writing a letter which says that this money was taken from them unlawfully?.
We praise Allaah for having enabled you to repent. It is well known that money is the fitnah (trial) of this ummah, so being enabled to repent from having taken people's money unlawfully is a great blessing for which you must always thank Allaah.
In order to make your repentance complete you have to return the money to its owners. It is good that you are asking this question. We have already discussed this matter in our answer to question no. 31234, in which it stated that the one who wants to return property to its rightful owners does not have to disclose his identity to them, because the purpose is to restore the property to its rightful owner, not to know who the thief is.
Hence you should look for a suitable way by means of which you can preserve your dignity whilst also returning the property to its rightful owners without embarrassing yourself in front of the owners of this company.
And Allaah knows best.

Women's Lacrosse Downed By George Mason
By ODU Athletics
April 9, 2006
FAIRFAX, VA. -- The Old Dominion women's lacrosse team fell to 5-6 overall and 2-2 in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Saturday afternoon as it suffered a 23-11 loss at George Mason.
Mason jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first period and never trailed in the game. The Patriots were up 12-5 at the half, and outscored the Monarchs in the second period 11-6 for the final tally.
Leading the way for the Lady Monarchs were junior Caroline Jacobs (Gaithersburg, Md.) and sophomore Kelly Kimener (Oakton, Va.) with three goals. Jacobs also registered three assists to finish with a total of six points.
Mason had 12 different Patriots find the back of the Lady Monarch net led by Laura King with six. Robyn Yeatman also handed out four assists.
In net, senior Michelle Gannon (Delmar, Md.) and sophomore Sara Larson (Sylvan Lake, Mich.) combined for nine saves while Roxie Alsruhe and Bonnie Nelson teammed for five stops.
Kimener registered a team-high five draw controls, while Jacobs caused three trunovers and led the team with five groundballs. Mason's Meredith Komer also posted five draws, while netminder Alsruhe scooped up a team-high three groundballs.
Old Dominion has three games on tap next week. The Lady Monarchs host #6 North Carolina on Wednesday, April 12th in their final regular season home game of the 2006 season. The game will also be the annual scholarship game with the $5.00 admission to benefit the Intercollegiate Foundation For Women's Lacrosse Scholarships. Following the match-up with the Tar Heels, the Lady Monarchs return to conference action traveling to Drexel and Hofstra.

My Ubuntu version is 12.04 LTS. I have written some C programs. But there is a compiler-problem. I've googled and found that I need build-essential. So I download and installed it.
After installation, it worked well. But after maybe 3 hours, the problem happened again.
When I write:
gcc -o -std=c99 sort sort.c
The compiler complains:
gcc: error: sort: No such file or directory.
I have no idea now.
