We are in the Worst Economic Recovery since that following the Great Depression because of Keynesian Economics
Week in Review
We are in the worst economic recovery since that following the Great Depression. Why? Because of Democrats. Who are all Keynesians. And that's a big problem as all of our worst economic times were given to us by those who adhere dogmatically to Keynesian economics. That school of economics that gave us the Great Depression. The stagflation of the Seventies. The dot-com bubble. The bursting of the dot-com bubble. And the dot-com recession. As well as the subprime mortgage crisis and the Great Recession. In all of these events the Keynesians in power followed Keynesian economic policies to avoid recessions. And then to pull us out of recessions when their avoidance didn't work. Then doubling down on the things that didn't work previously. In particular artificially low interest rates. Which have been around zero for the last 5 years. And massive federal spending to stimulate the economy when the private sector wasn't spending. Two pillars of Keynesian economics. Neither of which have done anything to help improve the worst economic recovery since that following the Great Depression.
This is the problem with all the 'noted' economists the government likes to cite. They embrace poor economic principles. Proven wrong over and over again. They can come up with some impressive looking charts and graphs but their analysis is all wrong. And the fact that we're in the worst economic recovery since that following the Great Depression proves it better than any chart and graph. They're wrong. And continue to be wrong. Yet they provide the economic policies for our country. Some of the greatest nonsense you will ever hear. Things you wouldn't do in your business. Or in your personal life (see Student Loans Are A Drag On The Economy And Society by Josh Freedman posted 2/11/2014 on Forbes).
While loans are intended to expand college access to a broader population, the nature of risk that they entail also produces the opposite result. Low- and middle-income students worried about the consequences of taking out a loan will be more likely to decide that college attendance is not worth the risk…
Studies have found that high debt levels not only deter access at the beginning, but can also drive students away from completing college once they have already started… students who start college but do not graduate are stuck with loan repayments and no college degree. They still have to repay their loans but do not have the economic boost of a college degree to help them have enough income to cover this cost.
First of all, why is it when it comes to a college education no one ever demands that we lower the cost. Like we do with greedy oil executives who keep the price of gasoline high. Why is it no one attacks the greedy people in higher education that keep education so costly?
The problem is too many people are going to college for the wrong reason. There is a reason why there is a list of the best party colleges every year. Because a lot of these kids want to go to these schools. Which explains why colleges in Colorado are seeing a spike in out-of-state applications. Because these kids want to go to a college where they can party with legal marijuana. And to make that partying easier they're majoring in easier degree programs that the college assured these kids would provide them a comfortable living after graduation. So they can get that profitable tuition out of these kids. Often times paid for by these kids' student loan borrowings. So the colleges are misleading a lot of these kids to make a buck. Leaving them saddled with a lot of student loan debt if they quit. Or even more student loan debt if they stay in until graduation. While getting a degree that can't get them a job.
A second issue with increasing levels of student loan debt is the effect on the economy… Individuals with more student loan debt were less likely than individuals without student loan debt to purchase homes or cars.
Yes, having too much debt is a bad thing. It reduces your disposable income. Preventing you from purchasing a house or a car. Yet these same economic advisors have no problem with raising taxes and devaluing the currency (i.e., printing money) to pay for all of the government's stimulus spending. Higher taxes reduce our paychecks. And devaluing the currency raises real prices. Reducing what we can buy with our smaller paychecks. No, a Keynesian has no problem with debt at the federal level that affects everyone. But student loan debt is just a terrible thing for those kids who dropped out of college or who didn't get a degree that an employer could use.
In the wake of the financial crash, households have been trying to deleverage, or pay down their debt so they can have a healthier financial outlook, reduce the amount of their income that they use to service their debt, and begin investing and consuming again…
A look at the data suggests that student loans have slowed down households in the process of paying down debt. Since 2008 — the peak level of household debt — households lowered their levels every type of debt except student loan debt. Student loans have continued to grow throughout this process of deleveraging.
Of course the one thing missing from this analysis is the horrible economy President Obama's Keynesian policies have given us. Since he became president he has destroyed some 10,948,000 jobs. Based on the number that were out of the labor force in the January 2014 BLS jobs report (91,455,000) and how many were out of the labor force when he entered office (80,507,000). This is why people are struggling with debt levels. There are no jobs. If there was a robust economy flush with jobs people wouldn't worry about taking on debt to invest in the future. As long as they got a useful college degree in a high-tech economy. And not something useless like women's studies or poetry.
But aren't people facing poor job prospects just taking out more loans to avoid working as baristas at coffee shops that drip the coffee super slowly for no apparent reason? This does not appear to be the case from the debt data. Student loan debt has grown at almost exactly the same rate since the crash as it had been the previous five years — i.e. steadily and without fail.
Student loan credit level has been steadily rising because the cost of a college education has been steadily rising. Again, where is the outrage at our greedy educators getting rich by loading up these kids with student loan debt for a degree they can't use in a high-tech economy?
…the loan system allows colleges to raise prices, which causes more students to take out loans. States, facing budget pressures, have also pulled back on investment, putting even more risk on students and further increasing the need for loans.
Again, where is the outrage at our greedy educators who keep raising tuition, forcing these kids to take out more and more student loan debt?
The risk and burdens that come from forcing students to take out debt up front and pay it back later is problematic from head to toe (tassel to hem, one might say). To create a better system of higher education, we need to look at alternatives to the current debt-financed model.
So the solution is for the taxpayer to foot the bill for these useless college degrees at these party colleges? How is that going to solve any problem? All that will do is allow more people to go to a college in Denver where they can get high for 4 years. And then go to work as a barista at a coffee shop that requires no 4-year degree. How does that make anything better? Other than get more young people to vote Democrat. Then again, perhaps that is the only objective of Keynesian economics. Which is why those on the left embrace these failed policies with a religious fervor. Because it helps them win elections. Even while they're destroying the economy.

It is time now to make the next step in creating the infrastructure for the Event on the surface of this planet.
The main reference site with preparedness instructions for the general population has reached a certain degree of completion and needs to go viral:
Although the civil authority and the Resistance Movement will provide their own infrastructure at the time of the Event, it is very important to have grassroots infrastructure as well. Our alternative infrastructure will fill in the gaps and will ensure that the transition will be smoother and more harmonious.
Six task groups were created: planetary leadership group, healers group, media group, new renaissance group, new technologies group and financial group. All these groups will develop practical tools which can help easing the transition at the time of the Event in their specific area.
If you want to actively participate in any of those six groups, click here:
Our website will be translated into many world languages so the message can spread worldwide. We are actively seeking translators and if you wish to join our translation teams, use the same participation form, stating that you wish to volunteer as a translator:

THE MARRIAGE WAGER may be purchased here.
Jane Ashford
Lady Emma Tarrant is forced to support herself by gambling after her despicable, gambler husband is killed. Emma can't call on her family for help, because her father has disowned her for eloping with her deceased husband, who only wanted her money. Emma has, finally, returned to England after traveling in Europe for seven years. While at a gaming house, Emma notices Lord Colin Wareham, who she thinks is fleecing a younger man. Lord Colin Wareham, the fifth Baron of St. Mawr, has recently returned to England after many years fighting against Napoleon. Colin, whose mother has been parading debs in front of him, finds that he has become impatient with the frivolity of London society. Emma is determined to save the young man from ruin and confronts Colin, who finds Emma intriguing.
THE MARRIAGE WAGER is an enjoyable Regency romance with complex characters. Emma is a strong, intelligent woman, who has to adapt to take care of herself after putting herself in the hands of a selfish, uncaring husband. Colin, who has survived the horrors of war, hasn't come out untouched. Colin has nightmares and bouts of depression due to the horrors that he has witnessed. It is wonderful watching the relationship between these two, slowly, grow and mature into a great love. The only slight problem, that I have with the book, is that it took a little bit too long for Emma to confide her problems to Colin. However, I can understand her need to deal with her problems by herself, since she has been having to do just that for years.
NOTE: I received this book in return for an impartial review.

The most recent demonstration came in the matter of election polls. Coming into the recent election, state-level polling clearly pointed to an Obama victory — yet more or less the whole Republican Party refused to acknowledge this reality. Instead, pundits and politicians alike fiercely denied the numbers and personally attacked anyone pointing out the obvious; the demonizing of The Times's Nate Silver, in particular, was remarkable to behold.
What accounts for this pattern of denial? Earlier this year, the science writer Chris Mooney published "The Republican Brain," which was not, as you might think, a partisan screed. It was, instead, a survey of the now-extensive research linking political views to personality types. As Mr. Mooney showed, modern American conservatism is highly correlated with authoritarian inclinations — and authoritarians are strongly inclined to reject any evidence contradicting their prior beliefs. Today's Republicans cocoon themselves in an alternate reality defined by Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and The Wall Street Journal's editorial page, and only on rare occasions — like on election night — encounter any hint that what they believe might not be true.
And, no, it's not symmetric. Liberals, being human, often give in to wishful thinking — but not in the same systematic, all-encompassing way.

Well....it's friday finally. It's time to relax a little bit. Forget about the traffic jam, the teaching schedule, and unpredictable weather (it's March already but the rain still keeps falling down). My girls and I decided to have a simple mother-daugter-date. We just dropped by at one of small cafes nearby, ordered a bowl of ice cream and enjoyed it together while having an intimate chit-chat.
|Sisters share everything otherwise...mom will get angry lol
On our way home we passed Aksara bookstore and read a big notification saying "it's our anniversary treat, let's enjoy the discount on books, souvenirs, CDs/DVDs, etc." This is absolutely too tempting to ignore. We entered the store and ended up buying several books. I know my book-to-read list is quite long now but my heart is so weak to resist the urge to buy new books with big discount (30%-50%) We don't have it everyday, do we? (excuse).
We went home with a happy heart. We have no special plan for the weekend. We just want to cuddle up at home with these new books (The Red House by Mark Haddon, What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank by Nathan Englander, and The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh). Hope you also have a great weekend to welcome.

Plumbing in Antarctica
Data from NASA's ICESat mission reveal a complex plumbing system deep beneath the West Antarctic ice sheet
The recent discovery of a sub-glacial water system beneath the West Antarctic ice sheet (WAIS) is causing scientists to rethink the mechanisms that control the flow of ice streams into the Ross Ice Shelf and ultimately into the Southern Ocean, according to a report in the February 15, 2007, issue of Science magazine online.
The report describes the sighting of a previously unknown region of sub-glacial lakes lying under two fast-flowing ice streams about one kilometer (3,280 feet) thick. The study provides the first evidence that sub-glacial water is stored in a linked system of reservoirs underneath the ice and can move quickly into and out of those reservoirs. This activity may play a major role in controlling the rate at which ice moves off the continent.
Authors of the article are Helen Amanda Fricker of Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, Ted Scambos of the National Snow and Ice Data Center, Robert Bindschadler of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and Laurie Padman of Earth & Space Research.
The new findings were made possible by precise elevation measurements taken from NASA's Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) from 2003 to 2006 collected over the Whillans and Mercer ice streams in West Antarctica. The two ice streams are major feeders of ice to the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica's largest ice shelf covering an area of the ocean about the size of France with ice several hundred meters thick.
Ice streams are components of the ice sheet that move faster than surrounding ice and may be up to 50 kilometers (31 miles) wide and 2 (1.25 miles) kilometers thick, stretching for hundreds of kilometers. The ice streams are responsible for transporting most of the ice leaving the continent to the floating ice shelves and, ultimately, to the ocean.
Glaciologists have known for a long time that water exists under ice streams. The surprising thing about this discovery is the amount of water involved and the pace at which it moves from one reservoir to another, according to lead author Helen Fricker, a glaciologist at Scripps Oceanography.
"We didn't realize that the water under these ice streams was moving in such large quantities, and on such short time scales," Fricker said. "We thought these changes took place over years and decades, but we are seeing large changes over months. The detected motions are astonishing in magnitude, dynamic nature and spatial extent."
During the three-year study period, the researchers observed one sub-glacial lake approximately 10 kilometers by 30 kilometers (6 miles by 18.5 miles) to drain a volume of 2 cubic kilometers (528 billion gallons) of water into the ocean under the Ross Ice Shelf through a sub-glacial channel. Another nearby sub-glacial lake steadily filled with1.2 cubic kilometers (317 billion gallons) of water. The data also indicate a net gain of water in the sub-glacial system over the three years, although no relationship can yet be determined to the motion of the two ice streams or the stability of the WAIS, Fricker said.
The WAIS is part of the ongoing debate on the stability of ice sheets and their possible collapse and contribution to raising sea levels worldwide as a result of global warming. Some 90 percent of the world's ice is located in Antarctica, most of it formed in an ice sheet over the land. If rising atmospheric temperatures increasingly melt the ice shelves, their ability to buttress the ice streams on the land would be reduced, allowing more ice to enter the oceans and raise sea levels. One concern is that as increased sub-glacial water accumulates, it may move ice off the continent faster.
"The links between ice stream activity and the climate are not well understood," Fricker said. "To predict how the ice sheets might respond to global warming, this new information is vital as it gives us a more complete picture of what is happening under the ice. We still don't know how the sub-glacial water system varies on longer time-scales from decades to centuries. To do this, we need to continue monitoring the ice streams with ICESat and future follow-on missions."
Launched in January 2003, ICESat carries a laser altimeter instrument to detect changes in the ice sheet surface elevation as small as 1.5 centimeters (0.6 inches) from nearly 645 kilometers (400 miles) above the earth. Its current operations plan activates it over Antarctica three times a year for periods of 33 days each. Antarctica is too large, too isolated and its environment too hostile to be surveyed in detail from the land, so satellites are essential to both investigating ice processes and discovering areas of interest that may warrant closer inspection. Studies of the sub-glacial environment are rare, being expensive, risky and labor-intensive.
"The approach used for this work provides glaciologists with a new tool to survey and monitor the nature of the sub-glacial water system and to link these observations to the motion of the ice sheet." Fricker said.
ICESat also measures cloud and aerosol heights, land topography, and vegetation characteristics.
The research for this study was supported with funding from NASA.

Project euVETsupport presents project results and sets milestone in the communication of European VET instruments to a wider public.
On a final two-day conference on 11th and 12th September in Berlin the 12 member project team of euVETsupport presented their work results to an audience of over 60 EQF and ECVET experts and users from nine European countries.
Under the coordination of DEKRA Akademie GmbH (DE), the euVETsupport project consortium aimed to develop support tools and structures in order to enable vocational education and training (VET) and HRD professionals - primarily in the transport and logistics sector - to successfully implement and make use of European VET instruments such as EQF (European Qualifications Framework) and ECVET (European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training) in their daily praxis.
Especially the main result of the 24 month project work, the costume fit euVETsupport portal (www.euVETsupport.eu) with its content and specific interaction possibilities for every user type, was regarded by the audience and ECVET experts as a precision landing in order to address especially VET providers but also industry. Dr Anne Murphy from the Higher Education Policy Research Unit (HEPRU) of the Dublin Institute of Technology called it "The best piece of work of its kind, because it enables the user to handle a very complex issue in a very easy way."
The conference initiated and promoted an open discussion and exchange of ideas and experiences between the participants. It became clear that the experience with ECVET, EQF and learning outcome orientation and their implementation in daily work reality varies within the different European countries.
A number of speakers and participants pointed out that industry – although only rarely aware of the European tools - is already well prepared for the implementation of the learning outcomes orientation while the application of this new perspective on learning within VET is still perceived with hesitation by the education side.
As Gabriele Fietz from the German ECVET expert team pointed out, there is still a lot more to be done to dispel prejudice and misconception of ECVET and EQF etc. which are, as she said, often associated with a loss of flexibility, additional efforts, increased bureaucracy and formalism.
Despite the different experiences with ECVET, EQF and learning outcomes orientation all participants of the conference fully agreed on the fact, that for the sustainability not only of the project euVETsupport but for the whole enterprise of making those European approaches aiming to foster the mobility of workers and learners in Europe to an integral part of VET- and working reality - profound and substantial communication and dissemination work is needed and hence an objective of the near future.
According to Prof. Sandra Bohlinger from the University of Osnabrück, every professional in the field of VET can make an individual contribution to this by becoming a role model for the practical application of learning outcomes orientation within the own teaching and training praxis. As Prof. Bohlinger summed up concisely: "…the basic ideas of the European Union are peacekeeping, social cohesion and competitiveness. If we want to implement these basic ideas, then instruments such as EQF, ECVET, their validation etc. are nothing more than opportunities to realize them".
Within the framework of an efficient sustainability strategy the wide range of euVETsupport project results will be taken forward to the follow up project "METALOG" that started in 2013. The METALOG project aims at concerting and transferring previous efforts of various European logistics projects and initiatives through the development of a Sectoral Qualifications Framework for the transport and logistics sector (LQF). On the long run they aim to establish a "European Logistics Skills Network". www.project-metalog.eu

Revision as of 11:03, 3 July 2013
Previous Fedora for Power Releases
Fedora 18
Fedora 18 was announced on January 22nd, 2013. Please see the release announcement for additional details or download it from your closest mirror.
Fedora 17
Fedora 17 for Power was announced on June 14th, 2012. Please see the release notes for additional details or download it from your closest mirror. It has been most extensively tested on IBM Power systems, but is also known to work on Apple Mac G5 systems.
Fedora 16
Fedora 16 for PPC64 was released Dec. 23th, 2011. It is available on several mirrors which are listed here.
It is known to work on the new Power7 machines and on PowerMac G5 with > 1Gb RAM. Installations on machines with less RAM might work, but that is untested yet (feedback welcome).
A fresh installation for F16 if you're currently using a pre-release is highly recommended so that you can verify that all reported and closed as fixed bugs have really been addressed in the final F16 release.
If the installation fails, here is a HOWTO for an install that requires you to have a system with an older RHEL or Fedora installation and that doesn't use the usual anaconda installer.
On the mirrors are also install media and packages for PPC (32bit) Those are completely untested and any bugreports without patches attached that fix the issue will most likely be deferred atm as we're concentrating on 64bit as that's the only hardware that the developers currently have. We have to rely on the community to provide fixes for 32bit problems.
If you want to help out with testing, please report any problems on IRC or in bugzilla (make sure to set the architecture to 'powerpc'). Feedback about installations on older hardware such as 32bit PowerMac G4 is appreciated, but as we're focusing on 64bit machines it might take some time to fix 32bit issues unless patches are attached to the bugreports.
Fedora 12
The last Fedora release for PPC before F16 was Fedora 12 and can be found at http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/12/Fedora/ppc/iso/

Stuff Your Student's Stocking With This Futuristic Smartpen
The days of traditional note-taking are over. Laptops, tablets and smartphones have revolutionized the way we record and store everyday data, making the paper note a secondary and often unnecessary tool.
Livescribe, however, is revitalizing pen and paper and enhancing productivity for anyone using them. The Oakland, California-based company created the Sky Wi-Fi smartpen, which digitally records everything the user writes and hears and was recently updated for smartphone capabilities and social integration.
The Sky smartpen syncs wirelessly to your Evernote account, for which you get 500 MB of additional memory. Your smartpen notes and audio are then accessible on any computer, iOS or Android device.
By writing on "smart paper," which contains a series of microdots, you can tap anywhere on the page with the Sky to hear what was recorded at that moment in time. You can even print out your own smart paper, as long as you have a compatible printer.
The Sky is available with three storage capacities: 2GB, 4GB and 8GB, allowing you to find the pen with the perfect amount of memory, whether it's for a high school student or a full-time journalist. No matter what, the person using this smartpen will be able to record hours of audio and thousands of pages of notes.
Price: $169.95 - $249.95

I'am trying to debug a server that throws a lot of logs on stdout/stderr. I need to redirect only last N lines to a file. Something like a rotating buffer feature there in
-W flags. It would be nice if I could view the log while the server is still running and throwing the logs (I could
cp it in another file to view it). Is there a utility that does this? From my little understanding of
logrotate tool, it should be run repeatedly. I don't think it fits my need. What I would like is:

NSA Snoops Extend Ops to Online Games
Dec 9, 2013 1:11 PM PT
The U.S. National Security Agency and British counterpart GCHQ have monitored the activities of online gamers, according to documents published Monday that were leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden.
The two agencies gained access to the online Xbox Live console network, the documents suggest, as well as deploying real-life agents into the virtual realms of Blizzard's World of Warcraft and Linden Labs' Second Life. Once inside, agents monitored the activity of some gamers as well as recruiting potential informants.
Obtained by The Guardian, the files date back to 2008 and were published in partnership with The New York Times and ProPublica.
The NSA did not respond to our request for further information.
Digital 'Dead Drop'
The agencies were motivated by a fear that terrorists and criminal networks could use online games to communicate secretly, move money or even plot attacks while hiding in plain sight.
"Today it is more difficult than ever not to be seen on the internet, so the game becomes one of finding ways not to stand out," Jim Purtilo, associate professor with the computer science department, at the University of Maryland, told TechNewsWorld.
"For a while, people interested in anonymity would communicate with one another via a digital 'dead drop' -- some innocuous electronic place where one party can leave information for another," Purtilo explained. "You might recall that is how General Petraeus famously exchanged messages with a paramour, for example, but as also shown by that case, the technique only works for so long.
"So many records are preserved for traffic analysis these days that investigators can work back to reconstruct social networks just as soon as one party becomes of interest," he added.
Indeed, BitTorrent and hacking websites "are simply already monitored too much to make much sense for terrorists and serious criminals," noted Alan Webber, principal analyst with Asymmetric Insights. "Games provide a different way for the exchange of information."
Virtual Goods Transmit Real Information
Online gaming worlds are also filled with objects that can often be shared among players, and this creates possibilities that go way beyond a dead drop.
"Think of that virtual map," Webber told TechNewsWorld. "What else can it contain? Information can be stored inside those objects."
Given the Internet's scope, "the cat-and-mouse game thus continues, with one group looking for increasingly obscure ways to message one another, and the other group working to preserve increasingly invasive mounds of data," said Purtilo.
Recruitment Tool
Of course, observed in a gaming context, it could be difficult for a government agency to tell whether an online discussion is about a real-world plot or in-game strategy. That, however, may ultimately be secondary.
"Honestly, this isn't really what the NSA and the Brits are doing," said Webber. "They're not really monitoring those conversations as much as looking to see whether disenfranchised youth might be recruited by these criminal or terrorist organizations.
"Gamers have technical skills, and many disenfranchised people find solace in these games," he added. "The games can become a recruiting ground."
Aggressive Tactics
So far, there have been no reports indicating that the two agencies' game-monitoring efforts have produced any beneficial results, noted Webber.
"We all hope investigators are effective in ferreting out real dangers, but the more aggressive the tactics, such as trolling game rooms on the Web, the more the danger that innocent, even if incautious, speech might needlessly bring people under police suspicion," Purtilo said.
"If officials look hard for violent-sounding speech, they're going to find it, but its discovery does not automatically translate into a public safety benefit," he concluded. "We should also all hope that casting such a broad net for data simply doesn't become a job security policy for agencies."

EU announces 100 million Euros for Sudan to address irregular migration and forced displacement

During a visit to Sudan today, EU Commissioner for International Cooperation and Development, Neven Mimica will discuss increased EU cooperation with Sudan on issues of common interest. He also will announce a вӮ¬100 million Special Measure for the country, to be implemented under the EU Emergency Trust Fund for Africa. This Trust Fund was set up last year to tackle instability and the root causes of irregular migration and forced displacement.
The new funding will focus on reducing poverty, promoting peace and good governance, supporting the creation of jobs and improving the delivery of basic services (such as education and health) in areas affected by insecurity and experiencing large migratory flows. It will target the peripheral and conflict-affected areas such as Darfur, East Sudan and the Transitional Areas of Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile.
Ahead of his visit, Commissioner Mimica said: "More than ten years after the start of the Darfur conflict, the level of displacement in Sudan remains huge, with over 3 million internally displaced persons still living within its borders. Our new support of вӮ¬100 million will essentially focus on improving the living conditions for those who call Sudan home, helping returnees to the country to reintegrate back into society, and improving security at the borders."
Commissioner Mimica's visit aims to pave the way for the identification of concrete priorities and actions that will include support to improve the living conditions of refugees, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), their host communities, and other vulnerable groups, support to enhance border controls, the fight and prevention of human trafficking and smuggling and the reintegration of returnees.
Background information
Beyond the Special Measure, Sudan also benefits from additional funding under the EU Emergency Trust Fund for Africa, in particular from a вӮ¬40 million programme to better manage migration in the region. Ten projects totalling over вӮ¬250 million were adopted last year for the EU Emergency Trust Fund, and further projects are foreseen to be approved this month, all of which will address instability, irregular migration and forced displacement in the Horn of Africa.

While diet and exercise are a sure-fire weight loss tactic for most, for some people, such as the obese, medication may be recommended.
Medications aren't "magic cures" leading to permanent weight loss. They're generally used in combination with a proper diet and exercise program. They are only for people who are classified as obese, or with a BMI of 27 or higher with extra heart disease risk factors such as high cholesterol or diabetes.
Appetite suppressants are one type of medication that has been used to manage obesity. These medications act in the brain to decrease appetite. Prescription medications that have been used in the past as an appetite suppressant include sibutramine and diethylpropion; however, both medications have been taken off the market. Once-popular appetite suppressants such as fenfluramine and phentermine (often given in combination and known as "fen-phen") have also been taken off the market. These weight loss medications and sibutramine were linked to heart-related problems and are no longer used for treating obesity.
Another type of medication used for weight loss prevents the absorption of fat from the bowel. Orlistat blocks the action of an enzyme called lipase, which is found in the intestine and breaks down fat. Fat in the diet is prevented from being absorbed and is eliminated in the stool. Side effects associated with orlistat include oily and frequent bowel movements and gas with some discharge. These side effects are reduced when fat intake is reduced.
There are also a number of over-the-counter and herbal weight loss products available, but it's important to check with your doctor before you use them. They may not be suitable for people with some health conditions and some products can be dangerous while combined with other medications.
When reviewing suitable management options, it's important to consider the risks and benefits of each option. Your doctor and other health care professionals can provide you with the information you need to make an informed choice about what options are best for you.

Ah, the heady days of 1994. Back then, computers were beige and sold with surfing cow wallpaper, and we liked it that way, dammit.
Flickr user Jason Scott stumbled on an old CD (for Windows 3.1!) that came with Gateway desktops, containing a pile of amazing cow-based images to be used for wallpaper. They're all pretty amazing, and make us wish Gateway hadn't abandoned its bovine style so readily. The cow is ripe for a comeback! [Jason Scott Flickr via Boing Boing Gadgets]

A set of dining room chairs designed by Frank Lloyd Wright sold Monday for more than $11,000 at an auction of furniture and other possessions of the late New York Mayor Ed Koch.
The chairs were part of a dining set in Koch's home in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. While the chairs sold for well over the estimated price of $2,500 to $3,500, a matching table went for $1,375, under its $1,500 to $2,500 estimate.
The furniture pieces were among more than 40 items from Koch's estate offered at the Doyle New York auction house.
Koch, a three-term former mayor whose brash, humor-tinged style personified the New York of the 1980s, died in February at age 88. The Democrat was credited with helping to save the city from its 1970s economic crisis and leading it to financial rebirth.
The auction house is selling his belongings in two sessions. Furniture, decorative arts and paintings were on the block Monday. On Nov. 25, Koch's correspondence with heads of state, his books and other ephemera are to be sold.
Koch's favorite burgundy leather upholstered club chair and ottoman brought $875; it had a pre-sale estimate of $200 to $300.
Among the more unusual items was a group of three ancient pottery vessels, two of which date to the Iron Age and the third to the first century. They sold for $1,875 but had been estimated to bring $700 to $1,000.
Koch's artworks included a lithograph by American artist Frank Stella titled "Jasper's Dilemma." It is inscribed "For Ed — thanks a million — F.S. '89." It sold for $2,250, within its estimate.
The Nov. 25 highlights include a framed copy of a 1948 letter from President Harry Truman recognizing Israel. Also included are letters from Presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.

Majkowski was a hell of a QB. Gave the entire Packer nation a reason to believe again. If he would have stayed healthy, Brett Farve would have been on the list of the GB back-ups that went on to start for another team.

Thanks for posting that. I saw it on (I assume) the NFL Network a couple of weeks ago, but did not realize it could be seen online. Will send the link to family members.

Vikings defeat Eagles. Bears have clinched a bye week in playoffs.
Assuming Packers win next week, almost certainly play @ Eagles for WC weekend.

UPDATE: Watching the Twitch E3 preview with @DJwheat and gang. In just a few minutes, Microsoft is doing their Day 0 press conference. There's a lot of wishing and hoping for Fallout 4 (and a new Gears Of War). That sounds AWESOME to me but I won't hold my breath, simply because Bethesda has already shot down that notion and they'll want to let Elder Scrolls Online marinate a while first. The next Fallout won't be for at least another year or two. What do you guys, think?
In the past week, everyone has been asking me if I am excited about E3. I don't know how to answer without sounding like a bitter old man or being a wet towel.. Truth is: I've barely given E3 much thought. Everything I want from gaming is here and now so it was not a big deal to me.. Then, during HorsePLAY! LIVE EP25, TCollins89 asked why E3 is on weekdays. It got me thinking:
E3 is not for the everyday or common gamer. So what is it really about and does it really matter?
DISCLAIMER: What you are about to read is an editorial. This, like anything else on Geeky Antics, is the opinion of me, the author. I may ruffle some feathers but I am being honest and open here. Keep an open mind. I am not trying to belittle anyone. We can disagree peacefully!
As far as I'm concerned, E3 is a glorified trade show meant to hype up gamers who, somehow, can't get enough content or want more fuel for the console wars. It is geared towards marketers, suits, developers, and journalists. Think about this:
How many of the presenters actually PLAY games? Are they gamers first or marketing/business people first? I reckon the latter is often the case.
For most, E3 is just an excuse for a change of scenery or time off from work. I would venture to say the only way you are looking forward to E3 is if you want the social experience or are super hardcore about gaming (i.e. you have to play every single major game that is released). This is wishful thinking but I think I'd care more about console gaming again if the entry points were more appealing, at least for the software itself.
That may sound harsh but I think I have finally converted back to PC for good. There are countless reasons but, for me, it's simply because all my friends are sharded amongst different games and the PC offers too much bang for your buck to even consider dedicated console gaming. I can't justify the cost or budget the time for a console right now. As a family man, it does not help that my kids are growing up and playing games with daddy is no longer cool. Without the bonding experience, console gaming is ho-hum. I just don't have the time or interest to do single-player games.
I love my XBox 360 but, for the first time in around ten years, I have let my XBox LIVE subscription lapse for more than two months. My video game wall of shame beckons yet I do not feel compelled to fire her up. I am satisfied by my options on the PC and I don't have to worry about the hidden costs or suddenly finding that online support has been shut down.
Granted, I have been mostly playing Hearthstone, League of Legends, and SolForge lately but I have a library of games on the PC that excites me every time I look at it. With my consoles, I have mostly felt depression and regret for the past generation or so. I will eventually get an XBox One to play with friends but I do not feel left out of the water cooler conversations.
Now, I can already hear people saying that E3 is about electronic entertainment (hence the name E3 – Electronic Entertainment Expo) as a whole. That is true but it can't be denied that the expo focuses on the gaming consoles more than anything. With that in mind, consider this fact:
During the transitionary period between console generations, we can't expect fresh, innovative games. The developers will stick to the console with the greater install base until they figure out how to take advantage of the new framework.
I have nothing against Watch Dogs or Titanfall. I just don't think they are system sellers for me. They are the games that are good now because there is nothing else. Besides, after how Microsoft botched up the original XBox to 360 transition, I think they will play it smart and keep the 360 going for another two to three years.
I am no elitist but the future of gaming has been on mobile devices and the PC.. For a while now. $300-500 gets you solid upgrades for your PC and you're good for a while. With consoles, you have the hidden costs of accessories, DLCs, micro transactions, macro transactions, forced annual releases, preferred server access, season passes, etc. Yeah, I am a smidge jaded and cynical.. But I am also hopeful, especially with so many brilliant small studios and indie developers paving the way (THANK YOU)!

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A significant majority of people in Pennsylvania support the boom in Marcellus shale natural gas drilling, according to a new poll released Thursday, but many also have concerns about its environmental impacts.
The Franklin & Marshall College poll found that 64 percent of respondents somewhat or strongly favor the gasdrilling industry, compared to 27 percent who somewhat or strongly oppose it. But 37 percent also felt that potential environmental risks could outweigh the economic benefits of drilling, and 68 percent somewhat or strongly oppose drilling in state-owned forests.
Poll director G. Terry Madonna said what struck him most about the results is "the stability in the response over the last couple of years."
"There's a consistent narrative," Madonna said. "The voters of the state say, yep, we like the natural gas folks, but we want it done environmentally safely."
Over the last few years the industry and anti-drilling groups have both waged fierce campaigns to sway public views on the drilling issue. But Madonna said the lack of major shifts in opinion is partly because "for most Pennsylvanians Marcellus shale drilling is not a fact of their daily lives. They don't live in regions where drilling is done."
Dave Spigelmyer, the president of the Marcellus Shale Coalition, an industry group, said the results show a clear majority of Pennsylvanians "support responsible shale development."
David Masur, the director of PennEnvironment, an environmental group, said he wasn't surprised by the poll, given that issues such as jobs and education are top priorities for many people. Masur said he's encouraged that gas drilling is "on the short list" of people's concerns.
Overall, the broad issue of protecting the state's environment came in fourth among top priorities for voters.
One question suggested that many people are still uncertain about the impacts of the natural gas boom. When asked whether drilling "has improved or reduced the quality of life" in communities where it's taking place, 37 percent said they don't know, while 38 percent said they were somewhat or strongly improved, and 26 percent said somewhat or strongly reduced.
The Marcellus Shale formation lies under large parts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio and some neighboring states, and it's become the nation's most productive natural gas field over the last five years.
The poll was conducted from Jan. 22 to 27 and involved 580 registered voters.
