Cumberland Times-News
It seems strange, to me at least, that the United States is the "land of the free," however, we have citizens who are denied basic civil rights.
It seems far stranger that it has taken until this decade for the gay rights debate to become a serious topic with the American government.
Furthermore, religious freedom is a fundamental right in which millions of people have fought for. However, some people have used and continue to use their religious beliefs to combat the rights of others.
Gay rights are civil rights and discrimination is discrimination regardless of the excuse. For those who use the religious argument to discredit the potential rights of a population within the U.S. must realize that the separation between church and state goes back to a founding father that many conservatives point to as one of the greatest Americans to ever live; Thomas Jefferson.
The following is a statement in conversation about religious liberty, "I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should " 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state.' "
The key here is "thus building a wall of separation between church and state." Regardless of your beliefs, one's religious belief's cannot dictate the rights of others. It is very hypocritical to use him as an idol and People are people and no one can deny them their constitutional rights. Land of the free? Let's prove it!

So now that the Devils have signed Ilya Kovalchuk to a reported 17-year contract that has to rank as the most absurd in NHL history, non-Rick DiPietro division, it looks like that will spring open the free agent and trade market.
The first domino fell just over an hour later as the Flyers have dealt winger Simon Gagne and his $5.25 million contract to Tampa Bay. The Philadelphia Daily News is reporting defenseman Matt Walker and a fourth-round pick are going back to Philly, although CBC says goaltender Mike Smith might be involved in the deal too.
You wonder what this means for players like Tomas Kaberle, for teams with some money to spend (like the one at One Seymour Knox Plaza) or for the group of clubs under the salary cap floor. Things have been awfully quiet in the NHL for the last 10 days. That won't be the case this week.

Calling PHP functions with named parameters
One of the most awesome things about python is its ability to pass parameters by name to a function, for those of you who don't know it look something like this:
my_foo_function(param_name="value", another_param_name="another value")
Today I wanted to do same in PHP 5.4 (can be easily ported to 5.3), so I thought of making a call_user_func_named just like the PHP native one call_user_func_array, here is the gist, you are open to contribute, modify or reuse in whatever way you like. Have fun!
Update: thanks to some nice contributors here are improvements in existing code

MADISON – Today, United Wisconsin announced its official endorsement of Ed Fallone for Wisconsin Supreme Court. Fallone is challenging conservative Justice Patience Roggensack and, along with one other challenger, faces a primary election on February 19.
"Ed Fallone is the clear choice for Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice," said United Wisconsin Executive Director Lisa Subeck. "Fallone has the experience and integrity necessary to restore civility, balance, and impartiality to Wisconsin's Supreme Court."
Fallone has decades of experience in the legal field, with expertise in constitutional, criminal, and corporate law, and a long history of service to the community. His qualifications include:
- Associate professor of law at Marquette University
- Over 25 year as a practicing attorney in both Federal and State courts.
- J.D., magna cum laude, Boston University School of Law.
- Led non-profits organizations working to increase access to the justice system for immigrants and working families.
- Recipient of the President's Award, Community Shares of Greater Milwaukee 2010.
Conservative incumbent, Patience Roggensack, has contributed to the dysfunction and high level of partisanship on the current court. She was a key supporter of closing certain Supreme Court proceedings, effectively keeping the court's decision making process out of the view of the public. Along with her conservative colleagues on the court, Roggensack chose to recuse herself from hearing a case regarding fellow conservative, Justice David Prosser, preventing the hearing from moving forward. Her recusal blocked any possible disciplinary action in the case in which Prosser was accused of choking a fellow Justice.
"Wisconsinites deserve a high-functioning and non-partisan Supreme Court to protect our system of checks and balances," Subeck added. "Fallone will help restore civility and trust in our state's highest court. United Wisconsin is proud to endorse Ed Fallone for Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice."

Recent Clinton Reviews
Spent the weekend out here with a group of friends. This property is amazing, plenty of privacy, large yard, great view, house was very well maintained, and location was perfect. Leading up to the house is a gravel driveway, driveway winds through the woods for a few hundred meters before opening up at the house with large open yard and view. The house is located on a bluff a few hundred feet above the water. Neighbors are comfortable distance away on either side. Didn't hear or see anyone else the whole weekend with the exception of a Bald Eagle that frequented a tree on the edge of the property. The house was everything we expected and more, very clean, everything was set up and heat was even on when we got there. Entry level has movie theater, foosball, pingpong (our favorite!), and bedroom with full bath. Upstairs has three decks, all of which offer amazing views, the decks are the perfect place to greet the morning with the sounds of the birds. The sound system upstairs is top notch and really puts the old iHome to shame. Also, if you like board games, I would highly recommend the Pirate one. Definitely make sure you head down to the beach during your stay. The 10 min walk is great as it winds its way down to the beach through the trees. No complaints from anyone in our group, honestly we entered the weekend with intentions of exploring the island, but we had such a great time that we ended up only leaving the house once to walk down to the beach. Additionally, the owner was very helpful in all respects. Provided us with all information needed in regards to the house and was accommodating to our check-in/out needs. I would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat!
The best beach house I've ever been to! Located just a couple minutes walk from the Clinton ferry dock. Spectacular views of the water from the house including the ferry, birds, seals, and other wildlife. Had a great time out on the water fishing and collecting mussels. Very quiet and peaceful, a great place to relax and get away from the city. Would love to go back again in summer.
We loved the house and location - thank you for sharing! I decided to rent a house this year for my annual party as opposed to having it at my house and it worked out beautifully. The house is extremely well designed and offers both privacy and delightful community areas - the kitchen/dining/living rooms are an open floor plan and offer the most amazing views of the beach, water and islands! A big storm came through on Saturday and it was like being on the coast without the long drive. It was such fun to watch with a glass of wine and the fireplace keeping us warm! There are spectacular views from almost every room in the house and the outdoor areas are such a bonus - beachfront. The beds were exceptionally comfortable and the home was warm and cozy throughout -combined with a nice open feeling that spoke to the great design. The house is clean and well maintained and the owner was responsive and very nice to work with. Only tricky part was parking since we were all coming from different areas and at different times. Only 4 cars allowed onsite and the offsite parking was not within walking so do plan for this if it applies. Workable but a little inconvenient - the house and location are definitely worth it though. It would be a perfect place to rent any time of the year!

Syria's Chemical Weapons: Is the U.S. Too Late?
Syria's Assad wants to 'teach lessons and break heads,' expert says.
All eyes are on Syria as Western leaders continue to negotiate and threaten unspecified consequences if the erratic dictator holed up in Damascus decides to use the chemical weapons at his disposal
Outcomes range from terrible to worse as the Syrian regime of Bashar Al-Assad considers using its stockpiles of advanced chemical weapons, such as dangerous VX or sarin nerve gases. U.S. officials told NBC News that the Assad regime had mixed and loaded nerve agents into aerial bombs. Assad may decide to attack his own citizens as opposition fighters surround the capital city or, on a larger scale, allow these weapons to slip into foreign, nefarious hands. President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta continue their warnings against Syria crossing the "red line," but haven't yet stated what the consequences would be. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with the U.N. peace envoy to Syria on Thursday, along with the foreign minister of Russia, a known supporter of the Assad regime. The meeting signals hope for cooperation between Russia and the West to end the conflict.
[MORE: Russia Docks Warships in Syria as NATO Arms Turkey]
Syrians on the ground believe the U.S. has ignored their plight, and may not respond in time to stop a chemical attack
"The mindset of Assad now is that though he knows he is losing the battle, he is going to bring down Syria with him," says Murhaf Jouejati, a professor at the National Defense University. "He wants to teach lessons and break heads."
He believes a chemical attack, if ordered, could take place in a matter of hours.
"Since the battle of Damascus is on, it may be at any point that Assad may feel his regime may no longer survive. This is when the danger starts," says Jouejati, who previously served on the Syrian National Council and as an advisor to the European Commission delegation in Syria.
He may use these weapons on his own people, which the United States has openly condemned in recent days.
Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad told Sky News on Thursday, "We don't know if we have them or not."
[READ: Time Could Be Up for United States in Syria]
"We have said at different times, on different occasions, that even if we have them, we will not use them against our people," he said, adding rumors that the regime is preparing for Assad's ouster are "laughable."
The tone of the fighting in Syria has changed drastically since it began in 2011. Opposition fighters began with simple rifles and rocket-propelled grenade launchers. As they seize ground and take control of military installations, they are able to add heavy machine guns and shoulder-mounted missiles to their arsenal.
"Assad's forces in the rest of Syria are also under considerable pressure from rebel advances," Stratfor military analyst Omar Lamrani writes in a Thursday report. "It is clear that the regime is very much on the defensive and has been forced to gradually contract its lines toward a core that now encompasses Damascus, the Orontes River Valley and the mostly Alawite coast."
Assad has already proven he is willing to use brutally violent tactics on his own people. No one believed he would use his air force to attack Syrians as he has, including dropping cluster bombs, says Radwan Ziadeh, a senior fellow at the U.S. Institutes of Peace. He also sent arms to Hezbollah during its last engagement with Israel in 2006.
Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta reaffirmed the U.S. stance on Thursday.
"The whole world is watching very closely and the president of the United States made it very clear that there will be consequences – there will be consequences if the Assad regime makes a terrible mistake and uses chemical weapons on its own people," he said. It is possible Syria's chemical weapons may fall –either during the chaos or for safekeeping -- into the hands of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah, an known ally of Assad, or the multiple militant groups from Iraq that operate amid the fighting in Syria, including the al-Nusra Front, an al Qaeda affiliate.

Morristown's downtown has been open and ready for your business pretty much since the recovery phase of this week's storm began.
Since much of the town's retail sector has opened, many have availed themselves of our services from where electricity remains a scarce commodity.
Earlier this week we posted what was open and closed, and now we want to clean up that list and let our readers—from both inside Morristown and beyond—know what is open right now and ready to take your order and hard-earned dollars.
This is not just about where to eat and drink, however. If you know that the Morristown and Morris Township Library has reopened, or whether a gas station is open and pumping gas, let us know that in the comments section as well.
Also, let us know if something in Morris Township and Morris Plains is back online.

At this point, we are going to hold off on updating this section of the list because, for the most part, the entire downtown is powered up and open. Some outskirt locations are still without power, including a portion of Washington Street past the Morris County Courthouse (this includes Suvio's and Caffe India, to name two). So, if you know of a place in Morristown that is still closed, let us know.

Frog Hair Grille, which combined a golf simulator center and family restaurant, closed today, according to its website.
The restaurant closed late last year and reopened after nearly $500,000 in renovations, the News reported in December 2012:
"Frog Hair Grille and Golf on Transit Road in Amherst has reopened, following a three-week shutdown and nearly $500,000 in renovations.
The improvements include a new entranceway, a new kitchen, a redesigned dining room and an upgraded bar.
About $150,000 was invested in upgrading the facility's golf simulators, to offer additional prestigious courses to play from around the world, with more realistic indoor golf technology. The restaurant's outdoor patio is set to open in the spring.
The restaurant has a new menu, a new manager, Zach Whiting, and a new executive chef, Robert Rizzo Jr."

I read today that President Obama is once again missing the legal deadline for submitting a budget to Congress. This is neither unusual nor unexpected. It is also inconsequential, because President Obama's budgets have been generally ignored by bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress.
This failure would be worthy of some press attention, especially considering that President Obama has been fond of chastising his political opponents with their failures to "meet deadlines".
Unfortunately, there are very few in either Washington or St. Paul who are willing to be honest with the People. The fact is that in both Minnesota and nationally, we are spending more money than we have, and racking up debt on our offspring. The problem is far worse in Washington than St. Paul, but the problem is the same. The voters demand easy answers, and the politicians provide them. Demagogues trump those who speak the truth, and .
Focus on our growing debt is appropriate, and necessary. There is no greater threat to our nation than the possibility that we may become a deadbeat nation. Given that we currently have no plan to repay our national debt, and seem to consider every need a necessity, being a deadbeat is a very real possibility. No amount of "easing" by the Federal Reserve will satisfy our international creditors.
The house GOP has started on a path to try to force Congress to produce a budget - a reasonable and modest demand - let's support their effort, and at least get some honesty on our out of control spending.

About JUGS
The first JUGS product, a curve ball pitching machine, has developed into one of the most revolutionary training aids for all phases of the game of baseball. Other JUGS products which have spun off of this original concept are causing just as much excitement in their respective areas. Throughout the research and development of every JUGS product, John Paulson's methodology remained consistent - observe how athletes practice their respective sport, then develop machinery that would help these athletes improve to their highest possible level. Now, teams in seven other sports are enjoying better practices because of JUGS products.
Besides baseball, there are now JUGS machines for softball, football, soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, tennis, and even the British Commonwealth's national sport - cricket! Today, over 85,000 teams use a JUGS machine at their practices. In fact, the most widely used pitching machines in the world are made by JUGS.
JUGS Jr. pitching machines can be a very important part of a coaches or parents' practice with their players or children. Experienced baseball and softball players use these hitting machines to hone their swinging technique or defensive skills and can learn to hit all types of breaking balls with effectiveness on these powerful pitching machines. Younger players will develop much faster using pitching machines as it gives them an opportunity to work on the proper mechanics without fear of wild pitches and injury or having to hit off of coaches who "lob" the ball. First and foremost teaching the proper mechanics is the most important part of coaching youth baseball and then practicing those mechanics over and over again using the proper equipment including pitching machines follows that.
Buying a JUGS Junior pitching machine should be a long term investment, so you want to make sure you take the time to pick the right machine. The JUGS Jr pitching machine (also in some parts of the country called batting machines, baseball machines, hitting machines, etc..) is a must have for a serious baseball or softball team and can be very beneficial to help an individual player. JUGS Junior pitching machines throw consistent strikes and can throw a wide variety of pitches allowing a hitter to focus on their hitting mechanics, which is the most important thing when learning to hit. The JUGS Jr. pitching machines come with a wide variety of features and come at a wide variety of price points, so do your research to make sure you are getting the right pitching machine for you.

How would you describe the importance of voting in America? Could you explain it in 400 words or less?
Students statewide can answer this question in the "Right to Vote" essay contest: "How does a citizen's right to vote help make America the greatest country in the world?"
Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson and Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Michael Warren launched the contest July 3.
"We really want to encourage young people to look at what makes America great, our founding principles, and how the right to vote - to make your voice heard - is so critical to maintaining our freedoms," Johnson said.
Contest winners receive a certificate of recognition, a patriotic-themed gift and will be announced Sept. 11 to 17 during "Patriot Week."
Patriot Week was co-founded by Warren and his 13-year-old daughter, Leah, in 2009 as a means of celebrating America's core principles and history in a meaningful way. It's gaining steam around the state and country, and is anchored by two key dates: Sept. 11, the anniversary of the terrorist attacks, and Sept. 17, the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution.
"Secretary of State Ruth Johnson's sponsorship of a Patriot Week essay contest is a great way for our students to learn more about the blessings of liberty," Warren said. "This is an important step in furthering the cause of Patriot Week and renewing the spirit of America."
Essays, limited to 400 words or less, must include a title and the student's:
- Name
- Grade (as of September 2012)
- Address
- Contact information (phone and e-mail)
The deadline for submissions is Aug. 10, and essays can be submitted on the Secretary of State's website or mailed to:

Duplicate Stitch
Duplicate stitch can be used to simulate two-color knitting. With this technique, you literally duplicate a knit stitch in a new color. If you have only a small area to cover and don't want to use stranding or intarsia color methods, try duplicate stitch. We'll demonstrate this method by adding a blue star to a plain white background.
|Star Chart
With chart in hand, locate the first stitch to be duplicated -- in this case, we'll start with the lowest stitch on the right side. The stitch is marked with a red V in Photo 1.
|Photo 1
With yarn threaded on a tapestry needle, bring the needle from back to front below the low point of the V on the stitch to be worked (Photo 2).
|Photo 2
Now insert the needle from right to left behind the stitch above the stitch to be worked (Photo 3).
|Photo 3
The blue yarn is now covering the right side of the original stitch (Photo 4).
|Photo 4
Now bring the needle down and through to the back through the same point that began the stitch (Photo 5).
|Photo 5
We now have a blue stitch directly on top of the white stitch (Photo 6).
|Photo 6
To cover the stitch directly above this one, insert the needle below the low point of the V of this stitch (Photo 7).
|Photo 7
Now insert the needle from right to left behind the stitch above the stitch being worked (Photo 8).
|Photo 8
Now bring the needle down and through to the back through the same point that began the stitch (Photo 9).
|Photo 9
We now have two blue stitches (Photo 10).
|Photo 10
Follow the chart and work one stitch at a time, working a stitch directly above, below, or beside the one you've just finished whenever possible (Photo 11).
|Photo 11
With the star design, you will inevitably come to a point where the next stitch to be worked is several stitches away from the one you just finished. One way to cope with this is to simply bring the needle from back to front below the next stitch and proceed as usual (Photo 12).

However, if you don't want any floats on the back -- for example, if you're decorating a pocket -- turn the piece over and weave through the back to the beginning of the next stitch (Photo 13).

Bring the yarn to the front and proceed as usual (Photo 14).

Follow the chart to finish the design. Voila! You now have a two-color design (Photo 15).

If you wove through the back of the work to prevent floats, the piece is ready to be used as a pocket (Photo 16).

Duplicate stitch is a great option when you're working with more than two colors too. Check out the free pattern with this newsletter, Itty-Bitty Buggie Baby Hats; the "bugs" are worked in duplicate stitch.

With Duran Duran, John Taylor has created some of the greatest songs of our time. From the disco dazzle of debut single 'Planet Earth' right up to their latest number one album All You Need is Now, Duran Duran has always had the power to sweep the world onto its feet. It's been a ride - and for John in particular, the ride has been wild, thrilling...and dangerous. Now, for the first time, he tells his incredible story - a tale of dreams fulfilled, lessons learned and demons conquered. A shy only child, Nigel John Taylor wasn't an obvious candidate for pop stardom and frenzied girl panic. But when he ditched his first name and picked up a bass guitar, everything changed. John formed Duran Duran with his friend Nick Rhodes in the spring of 1978 and they were soon joined by Roger Taylor, then Andy Taylor and finally Simon Le Bon. Together they were an immediate, massive global success story, their pictures on millions of walls, every single a worldwide hit. In his frank, compelling autobiography, John recounts the highs - hanging out with icons like Bowie, Warhol and even James Bond; dating Vogue models and driving fast cars - all the while playing hard with the band he loved. But he faced tough battles ahead - troubles that brought him to the brink of self-destruction - before turning his life around. Told with humour, honesty and hard-won wisdom and packed with exclusive pictures, IN THE PLEASURE GROOVE is a fascinating, irresistible portrait of a man who danced into the fire...and came through the other side.

The inaugural Man Cave Giveaway has been narrowed down from 100 to four homes. Promotion organizers now are asking folks to vote for their favorite contestant so they can get the Man Cave of their dreams.
As of the deadline on March 31, approximately 100 Blount County residents had submitted entries explaining why they need a Man Cave, what their space looks like and what they would do with a renovated room in their home devoted to the comfort and convenience of the man of the house.
Denver Hunt Company, a Maryville-based business that specializes in home exteriors and remodeling, is spearheading a promotion to transform a room in one lucky contestant's home into a $12,500 Man Cave renovation.
Starting Tuesday, April 12, readers will have the opportunity to go vote by going to www.BlountToday.com. Each contestant will have a video showing their "before" space and making a plea for votes.
Online voting will continue until midnight on Friday, April 22. There will be a reception at Denver Hunt Company on Monday, April 25, to recognize the four finalists. The winner will be announced on Thursday, April 28, in Blount Today and on ESPN Radio 1120 AM and Facebook, Twitter and on the company website.
The four finalist are:
Michael "Keith" Buckner Man Cave Giveaway
Take a look at Michael "Keith" Buckner's ...
Michael "Keith" Buckner, 3324 Cove Point Drive, Louisville, has a 4,000 square feet rancher that is 30 years old, and he wants to transform a 400-to-800 square feet room in the partially finished basement into a Man Cave. Buckner said he started his remodel two years ago to his family's dream home. "I took on this massive project with the help of my dad, but unfortunately he had a sudden heart attack in June and passed. Since then I have been going at it alone and progress has been slow and hard. Now all is done but my Man Cave."
Buckner said he and his wife had their first baby in May. "Working around her sleep schedule has made it even more trying. Our second is due in October. If I am selected, I will use your help to complete two rooms I have in my basement. One room is going to be a game room with a pool table, foosball table, and maybe an arcade game and a plasma TV on the wall to watch while playing. The other room is going to be a cinema room with a huge projection screen, surround sound, and as much comfortable seating as possible."
Jason Hughes Man Cave Giveaway
Take a look at Jason Hughes Man ...
Jason Hughes, 1531 Water Lily Lane, Maryville, has a 2,000 square foot two-story home that is five years old, and he wants to make a Man Cave out of a 600 square foot room in his finished basement.
Hughes said he would like to install a home entertainment center with a 50-inch or larger television in addition to a multi-media surround sound system. "To complete the room, I would add a pool table and mini-bar. Décor would consist of theater-style posters (framed), lighting and a popcorn machine."
There would also be pool-décor with flashing signs, a half-bath connecting that will be UT-themed and furniture would consist of stylish yet comfortable, consisting of barstools and leather sectional couches. "I believe I can maximize this space and create a showpiece."
Kevin Kirkland Man Cave Giveaway
Take a look at Kevin Kirkland's Man ...
Kevin Kirkland, 247 Merganser Lane, Maryville, has a 1,600 square foot rancher that is eight years old with a 500-square foot garage he hopes transform into his Man Cave. "I need to feel like a man again. I love my children, all three, however, I've had to turn in my Man Card since my children have been born because I've decorated my house with themes such as Tinker Bell and the beach."
Kirkland said he doesn't own a high-definition television. "Every time a thunderstorm comes over my house, I pray for lightning to hit at least one of my 200 pound televisions so I can move into the 21st century," Kirkland said. "No man in his 30s should feel this way. Blu Ray movies such as 'The Road Warrior,' and 'Predator,' call my name, only to find me weeping because I do not own a Blu Ray player." Kirkland said he dreams of a Man Cave with carpet, theater lighting, and HD/3-D television and surround sound system. "Please help me feel like a man again because this Old Spice body wash isn't helping."
Kevin White Man Cave Giveaway
Take a look at Kevin White's Man ...
Chana White, 1412 Lincolnshire Drive, Maryville, entered the contest as a surprise to her husband, Kevin. The couple owns a two-story, 3,400-square feet home that is 24 years old with an unfinished 600-square feet basement that is unfinished but is framed and has heat and air. Chana White said she and Kevin have been married 21 years and have four daughters, ages 19, 15, 11 and 8. "My husband is a wonderful father and husband, but it would be great if he had a place to go to get away from the 'World of the naked Barbie.' With our girls being spread out in age, he has been blessed to be able to trip over dolls for years. Even our dog is a female. If any man needs a Man Cave, my husband does."
Chana White said Kevin is a huge sports fan and his Man Cave would look like a mountain cabin. "I would create for him a space with lots of natural wood and stone and compliment this with large, overstuffed leather furniture. I know he would share the Man Cave with me and the girls, just as long as the younger ones checked their Barbies at the top of the stairs."
Partners with Denver Hunt and Blount Today in the Man Cave Giveaway are Anderson's Lumber Company, Gillenwater Flooring Center, Inc., Games & Things, ESPN Radio and Ledbetter's Electronics.

Nimes, 16 August 2013 – Project Caliop aims at providing tools and a platform for email users can trust, guaranteeing by design the confidentiality of communications. In the context of revelations about PRISM showing that users cannot trust advertisement-based services such as Gmail, and in the wake of the recent shutdown of secure mail services, Caliop aims at rethinking the infrastructure for secure email communications. Caliop founder Laurent Chemla calls on contributions to the initial specifications.
Recent revelations by Edward Snowden about PRISM show users cannot trust centralized services such as gmail, which business models are based on accessing everyone's communications in order to monetize personal data, exposing users' emails to massive government surveillance. Yet, despite recent alarming declarations[1] by email service providers that felt compelled to shut down their activities, email days may not be over.
Laurent Chemla, historical figure of the French Internet and co-founder of French registrar Gandi, re-launches dormant project Caliop, a set of free/libre software and a corresponding email platform users can trust.
By embedding the principle of confidentiality of communications in the design of the infrastructure through the use and promotion of strong cryptography, Caliop aims at building email services which business model wouldn't be based on accessing the content of users communications.
"Project Caliop was put to sleep when Gmail appeared, but recent revelations demonstrate that Caliop's vision of puting confidentiality at the core of email services is very much necessary, for users to evade mass surveillance and regain trust in online communications." declare Laurent Chemla, initiator of Caliop.
Citizens from all across the Internet are invited to join the Caliop bootstrap mailing-list to discuss the initial specifications before they are published on http://www.caliop.net.

Kyle Field has been the home of Texas A&M Football for more than 80 years. It's one of the largest football stadiums in the state of Texas, but it still isn't big enough to fit all the Aggie football fans.
"I think it could be updated, especially if you look at some of the other colleges," said Angela Ford, a Texas A&M Student.
That's why Texas A&M is planning to renovate the historic stadium starting after the 2013 football season. Texas A&M University officials released two conceptual drawings for the Kyle Field renovation project to get an idea of how students feel about proposed new fees to help pay for it.
Similar conceptual designs showing the project from different angles have also surfaced on an Aggie Blog called "Good Bull Hunting".
Most students agree that Kyle Field could use a makeover, the question is, who should pay for it?
The cities of Bryan and College Station, as well as Brazos County have pledged to contribute $36 million.
However, students could also help foot the estimated $400 million bill through new fees and higher student ticket prices.
"A lot of people don't go to football games, and it's not fair to make them pay for it just so that the university can make a new stadium," said Martina Garcia, a Texas A&M student.
"It's just unfortunate, no one likes new fees for anything but it's just something we have to deal with if we want to have a nice facility like that at A&M," said Ford.
The conceptual design has not been approved yet by the Texas A&M Board of Regents. University officials say they hope to present the plan to regents at the May board meeting.

Scotty McCreery's new "See You Tonight" CD debuts atop Billboard's Country Albums chart this week.
It's the N.C. State University sophomore's second appearance at the top of the country album list, following 2011's "Clear As Day." In between, he released a Christmas CD last year that debuted at No. 2 on the country chart.
"See You Tonight" has sold more than 52,000 copies since its release last week. That's down from the more than 196,000 first-week CDs that "Clear as Day" sold, but higher than the 41,000 that "Christmas with Scotty McCreery" sold in its debut week.
"Clear As Day" also debuted atop Billboard's Top 200 album chart. By contrast, "See You Tonight" came in sixth, behind new releases from Pearl Jam, Paul McCartney and N.C.'s own The Avett Brothers, as well as recent releases from Miley Cyrus and Drake.
The "See You Tonight" single, one of five songs on the new CD that McCreery co-wrote, moved to No. 30 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart this week.
McCreery and his producers have talked about how they're really pushing for hit singles with lots of radio airplay from the new CD. Though "Clear As Day" went platinum, none of its three singles ranked higher than No. 15.
"I think we've got a lot of great hit single choices on this record," said CD producer Frank Rogers, whose resume includes working with Brad Paisley and Darius Rucker. "I'm excited about the possibilities of it."
McCreery, the Garner native who won "American Idol" in 2011, will promote the new CD on Friday with an appearance on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." He performed two shows at the N.C. State Fair earlier this week, drawing nearly 9,000 fans.

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 15 min
Difficulty: Easy
Buttered Pecan Syrup:
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup your favorite granola
To make the syrup, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pecans and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the maple syrup and salt and cook, stirring constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, until thickened.
To make waffles, heat a waffle iron. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and fold to combine.
Cook the waffles according to the directions for your waffle iron. Usually it will take 4 to 6 minutes for the waffles to turn golden and the waffle iron to stop releasing steam, which indicates that they're done.
Sprinkle the granola over the waffles and serve immediately with the buttered pecan maple syrup.
Oh Paula! I love you so much! I am on a diet, but at this point I don't think I care anymore! I love pecans so much and this looks so good! Thank you for the recipe! Jenny

Jhonas Enroth is well aware the Sabres are 0-2 in Buffalo this season. The goaltender doesn't see that as any reason to put more pressure on himself tonight.
Enroth will get his second start of the year when the Sabres welcome the Columbus Blue Jackets to First Niagara Center. Enroth won his only start, making 29 saves in a 3-2 victory over Pittsburgh on Oct. 15.
"It's just another game for me. That's how I'm going to approach it," Enroth said after the morning skate. "It's just two games [at home]. We're not going to worry about it."
The Sabres (5-3) will skate without defenseman Mike Weber (healthy) and forward Jochen Hecht (concussion) for the ninth straight time to start the season. As expected from someone who played in 58 regular-season games and all seven playoff outings last year, Weber isn't taking the demotion well.
"Not very well, and no player should," coach Lindy Ruff said. "He was a good part of our team last year. It's a tough situation. There's some things that I'm still trying to make up my mind on, the importance of certain individuals and whether we should rotate a couple of individuals. Short term, he's the guy that's taking the bullet."
The "individual" is rookie defenseman Marc-Andre Gragnani. The power-play specialist has three assists and is plus-5, though the man-advantage unit is in a 1-for-17 slump.
"It's definitely a need part," Ruff said. "We feel we have a certain need for who's in the lineup and just evaluating whether that still has to be a big part of our team."
The audio of Ruff's news conference is below.

A funding bill that would provide more than $60 billion in aid for the Hurricane Sandy recovery effort is currently being debated in both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.
The primary beneficiaries of the aid would be Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, three states that took the brunt of Sandy's wrath and have seen damage estimates continue to rise well above President Barack Obama's funding request.
The bill has been divisive. In both the Senate and Congress, legislators are questioning the appropriations, the allocation of the funds, the total, and the need to approve the aid all at once. Despite their differences, the majority of the country's elected leaders in Washington D.C. agree that, in some form, the victims of Sandy are in need of federal financial aid.
Steve Lonegan disagrees.
New Jersey's Americans for Prosperity State Director called on legislators to reject the bill, saying that aid would be a burden on the country's taxpayers and would be misspent at all levels of government by officials glomming for every last nickel.
The bill, he said, would lead to a spending free-for-all and is merely an attempt to secure funding for wasteful endeavors by appealing to emotion.
"Tragic things happen every day to people – worse things than having your house flood – and we don't hand them a check," he said. "Having your shore house flood doesn't rank.
"This is not a federal government responsibility. We need to suck it up and be responsible for taking care of ourselves."
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's disaster estimate of nearly $37 billion is tantamount to a $119.51 tax increase for every single American, should the U.S. have to foot the bill, Lonegan said, adding that he doubted that much aid would even reach affected residents. With the country facing a fiscal cliff, Lonegan said Sandy aid shouldn't be a priority now.
Shore towns along New Jersey's coasts have been devastated. Families whose homes have been destroyed remain uncertain about their long-term living situations as the Federal Emergency Management Agency pays out hundreds of millions of dollars in aid and continues to scramble to find temporary housing for those still in need. Businesses have been lost, lives upturned.
Still, Lonegan, a life-long New Jersey resident, longtime mayor of Bogota in Bergen County, and a former gubernatorial challenger, remains defiant in the face of tragedy suffered by his fellow state residents, many of them struggling to put the pieces of their lives back together.
And he expects to be criticized for his thoughts, he said.
"It's the right thing to do," he said. "Is it going to get me attacked? Yes. But it's the right thing. Everyone is screaming about debt, but oh, it's OK just this time. This is unfair to the other people in this country."
Much of Lonegan's criticism of the funding bill has to do with where the money is going and how vague the appropriations are on their face. He said he's seen this kind of thing before. As mayor during 1999's Hurricane Floyd, a storm that also caused massive flood damage to parts of New Jersey, Lonegan said administrators were tasked with putting together a line budget for their disaster aid application. The fire department and police department wanted to replace functioning vehicles and equipment that hadn't actually been damaged in the storm, he said. The recreation department also had a funding request: to replace the woodchips in the playground that had washed away.
Lonegan also has issue with who would benefit from aid, saying that taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for a millionaire's vacation home. The misconception that only vacation homes were damaged in Sandy is one leaders of coastal towns with large, working middleclass neighborhoods like those in Toms River, Brick and Highlands, among others, continue to fight.
According to a report produced by the state's Disaster Housing Task Force, following Hurricane Sandy.
The $60.4 billion disaster aid package was in part conceived by U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-NJ, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee and Vice Chair of the Appropriations Subcommittee overseeing FEMA.
The bill would aid New Jersey, specifically, in a number of ways, he said in a recent release. In all, $17 billion would be allocated for Community Development Block Grants, which would help rebuilding homes, buildings and public infrastructure not covered by FEMA. An additional $12 billion would be used to rebuild and improve transportation infrastructure and $5.3 billion would be put towards flood mitigation as part of a Coastal Recovery and Flood Control plan.
"This is a comprehensive disaster relief bill that will help New Jersey and other states recover and rebuild smarter and stronger after Superstorm Sandy. This bill provides funding for proven federal programs that will help rebuild and strengthen New Jersey's shore, transportation network, and support residents and small businesses that need help," Lautenberg said in a release.
Support for aid and legislation as a result of Sandy has, in many cases, been bipartisan, another aspect of post-Sandy politics that's causing some consternation for Lonegan. The de facto leader of the state's Tea Party movement – Americans for Prosperity has organized Tea Party rallies and backed Tea Party candidates – Lonegan has remained a dogged fiscal conservative since taking up the mantel of AFP state director.
His call to congress to refuse Sandy aid hasn't been shared by many, publicly at least. Bayshore Tea Party founder Barbara Gonzalez did not object entirely to Sandy aid but said in an email that her concern, like Lonegan's, is where the money will go and what it will be used for.
Gonzalez, whose home received flood damage during Sandy, also acknowledged that taxes would likely have to go up in order to pay for the aid package, an idea she would be more comfortable with if it weren't for already high tax rates, she sad.
"(O)ur taxes are going to go up to pay for the damage," she wrote in an email. "Now, I understand that the damage was very extensive and it has to be paid for, but for Gods [sic] sake, our taxes are already outrageous."
Lonegan said things need to slow down on the funding front. Developing an aid package that works is possible, he said, though he declined to say how much would be appropriate, though it requires much, much more scrutiny. It's a job our government just isn't capable of, especially with Democrats and Republicans working in concert, he said.
"(Spending) is out of control," he said. "Whenever you see Democrats and Republicans put their arms around one another, hold on to your wallet."

1. What is Postlets?
Postlets is a real estate classified listing creation and distribution platform owned and operated by Zillow. Agents, property managers, and landlords, as well as sellers/FSBOers, can create a property listing just once, and we'll help you distribute it to many of the leading classifieds sites, search, and social media sites. We'll also host a dedicated landing page on our site and give you additional tools such as widgets and a personal Gallery to help you gain even more exposure.
2. How do I sign up?
Go to the signup page, provide your email address and password. You must also confirm that you have read and accept the terms of use. After that, you should be all set to start your first Postlet.
3. How much does it cost?
Postlets is free. You can create as many listings as you like and use all of the distribution tools.
Postlets gives you a single-property website. Among other things, each website has a multi- or single-page layout, includes unlimited photos, embeds a slideshow viewer, and shows no 3rd party advertising.
4. Is Postlets affiliated with Craigslist or any of the other listed sites?
Postlets is only affiliated with HotPads and Zillow, who acquired Postlets in April 2011. Other than that, Postlets is not affiliated with any other classifieds aggregators where our listings appear. This also means we do not have any visibility or interface into their respective systems.
5. I forgot my password. What can I do?
If you forgot your password, go to the login assistance page. After providing either the email address or the username you signed up with, you'll be emailed a temporary password for accessing your account. After you log in, you can then change your password by clicking on the My Account link at the top of page and editing your contact info.
If you don't receive an email from us within a couple of minutes, please check your "bulk" or "spam" email folders. Sometimes email filters incorrectly tag our valid emails as spam. If you cannot find your password email in those folders, it's possible your mail server blocked it before it was even delivered to your personal email inbox. In that case, please contact us.
6. What is a Gallery?
A Gallery is a custom-branded webpage to showcase all of your listings. You'll be able to customize it with a company logo, a personalized URL and an About Me page where you can describe your services and upload a personal photo. It also includes a map that displays the location of your mappable listings.
7. How do I create a Gallery?
You can create your Gallery from the Gallery Settings page. Simply enter the required information to activate your Gallery.
When creating your Gallery, the Gallery personalized URL is anything you want it to be. For example, you could choose "agentjane" and your Gallery URL would be agentjane.postlets.com. You can change your URL at anytime as long as another user has not claimed your desired URL.
8. How do I create a Postlet?
To get started, first log in from the sign in page using the username/email address and password you chose during the signup process (if you forgot either of these, go to the login assistance page). Then hover over the "Create a Postlet" button in the top right corner. You'll be directed to a page where you can begin filling out the unit details.
9. Why do I have to verify my phone number?
As of March 6th, 2012, we now require users for all new Postlets and activating draft Postlets and renewing expired Postlets to verify the phone number associated with the Postlet. We added this verification process to help reduce scam listings created on the site.
We do understand this is a hassle for our legitimate users, but hope everybody can also understand the need for additional measures against fraud.
10. What phone number am I verifying and do I need to do this for every Postlet?
The phone number you are required to verify is the number currently entered and displayed on the Postlet you are creating or trying to activate. Please note that this number may be different than the one under your profile on My Account page and updating that phone number will not update your Postlet phone number.
Any new phone numbers entered on your Postlet(s) will also need to be verified. However, once you've verified a phone number you won't need to verify it again for any other Postlets you use it on.
The phone number you are verifying cannot be a managed/auto-responder/phone-bank number. You will need to be able to answer the call or read the text message to use the verification code we send to verify your number. Some types of phone numbers are not accepted. Please contact us if you need assistance verifying your number.
11. What's the difference between draft and active modes?
A draft Postlet is a Postlet that is still a work in progress, while an active Postlet is one that is published and shared with syndication partners. You can save your Postlet in draft mode if it's incomplete or if you want to stage it, such as if you are planning on adding photos later. Once it's ready to go live, simply activate it from your My Postlets page or from the top of the Postlet overview page.
12. How do I activate my Postlet from draft?
You can activate your Postlet from your My Postlets page or by clicking on the Activate Postlet button at the top right of the Postlet overview page. All of your Postlets (except for those you have deleted) will remain manageable from your My Postlets page.
13. What do I do with the HTML code?
You can use the HTML code on any site that accepts and processes HTML such as Craigslist. You will need to first create a post on each respective site and then copy the HTML code we provide and paste it directly into the ad description.
Please see the HTML instructions page for step-by-step instructions on manually copying/pasting into Craigslist. You can always retrieve the HTML for an active Postlet without needing to recreate your Postlet by visiting the Promote Postlet tab for that Postlet.
14. What is Postlets MINI?
Postlets MINI is a "widget" of your listing. You can embed the code in your blog (e.g. Blogger, Wordpress) or on your own website to display a miniature version of your listing. There are three different sizes and each links back to the full-sized listing. MINIS are available for real estate for sale and for rent Postlets.
You can find the code to copy and paste into your blog or website, along with the HTML for your Postlet, on the Postlet Promote tab for that Postlet.
15. How do I upload my photos?
After you've created your Postlet, go to the Postlet's Photos & Media tab. On this tab you will be able to select which photos you want to upload and even drag & drop photos from any folder on your computer.
16. Do the photos need to be a certain format and size?
Yes, we only accept .jpg, .bmp, .png, .gif, and .tiff files. To find out if your photos meet the criteria, right-click (ctrl-click on Macs) on the file and select Properties. There are no size restrictions on photos you upload.
17. Where can I automatically syndicate my Postlet?
Your listings will be automatically distributed to Zillow, Yahoo! and HotPads. In addition, you have the option of automatically submitting your listings to any/all of our syndication partners depending on the listing category and location. You can change the default syndication settings for all future Postlets through your My Account settings.
18. I can't find my listing on a particular site. What can I do to find it?
Since we don't have visibility into third party systems, we cannot confirm that every listing was published. It can sometimes be tricky to isolate your listings, but the best way is to search for unique identifiers (part of the listing subtitle, name, address, etc.), and don't forget to filter on attributes such as number of bedrooms or bathrooms, on the respective third party sites.
Note: Syndication is not immediate. It can take 24 to 48 hours for a Postlet to appear on the other sites. If you have incomplete or inaccurate information (e.g. you don't include the full address), your listing may not be processed by our syndication partners. If your listings are also syndicated from another source, that may also interfere with syndication from Postlets.com.
19. Will my Postlet be automatically submitted to Craigslist?
No. Craigslist prohibits "posting agents" to post on behalf of others. You will need to manually create a Craigslist post and copy and paste the provided HTML code into the description box.
20. How do I create a Craigslist post?
Once you've activated your Postlet you will see a button labeled Post to Craigslist on the Promote Postlet tab. Clicking this link will send you directly to Craigslist. You will need to enter some basic information first and then manually copy and paste the provided HTML into the posting description box to get your Postlet onto Craigslist. You will still need to go through the standard posting process.
Craigslist will send you an email to activate and manage your post, as usual. Hold onto this so that you can later edit/delete your post.
If your Postlet is incomplete or you choose to post to Craigslist later, you can always access the HTML by simply clicking on the Postlet from the My Postlets page and navigating to the Promote Postlet tab.
Note: If you experience problems with the button, check to see if you have a pop-up blocker enabled. If so, turn it off (usually in your Google or Yahoo toolbar). If this doesn't work, you can initiate a post by going directly to the Craigslist site. Please see the Craigslist instructions page for step-by-step instructions.
21. Why does my Postlet appear different on Craigslist?
Due to the restrictions on the code and content permitted on Craigslist, the HTML version will display a bit differently than what you see on Postlets.com. Furthermore, due to changes Craigslist made in November 2013, users will have to use the Craigslist photo uploader in order to add photos to their Craigslist posts.
22. What do I need to know about Craigslist's terms of use?
If you use Postlets to post on Craigslist, you must read and abide by the Craigslist terms of use. Please familiarize yourself with what is and what is not acceptable (pay close attention to section 7 on Conduct). Postlets strives to abide by both the letter and spirit of the Craigslist terms of use and to be a good community citizen, and we hope our users will do the same.
23. How do I edit my Postlet?
You can edit any of your Postlets by clicking on the Postlet on your My Postlets page. Photos may be added or edited by going to the Photos & Media tab.
24. How do I expire/delete/renew my Postlet?
You can deactivate your Postlet by clicking on Expire on the My Postlets page or by using the button at the top right of the Postlet overview page. Expired Postlets will be archived on your My Postlets page and can be edited and/or renewed at any time. When you expire a Postlet, it will no longer be syndicated to partner sites, but it may take 48 hours or more to be removed from those sites.
To permanently delete your Postlet, click on Delete Postlet at the bottom of the Postlet's left-hand navigation bar.
To renew your Postlet for an additional 30 days (60 days for for sale Postlets), by clicking on Renew on the My Postlets page or by using the button at the top right of the Postlet overview page. You can renew your listing is often as you like.
Note: You will need to renew/repost your post on Craigslist separately by repeating the post to Craigslist procedure.
25. What is the difference between expiring and deleting my Postlet?
Expiring your Postlet deactivates it so it will no longer syndicate to partner sites. An expired Postlet remains in your account and you are able to edit and/or renew it at any time.
Deleting a Postlet permanently removes it from your account.
If you plan on working with this Postlet in the future, we recommend expiring it rather than deleting it.
Note: Whether you expire or delete your Postlet, it may take 48 hours or more for the Postlet to be removed from partner sites and you will have to log into your Craigslist account to remove it on Craigslist.
26. When will my Postlet expire?
Postlets will remain active on the Postlets site for 60 days for sale Postlets and 30 days for rentals Postlets from the date it was created. Note that expiration on the Postlets site is independent of expiration of any listings you create on Craigslist. When you renew a Postlet it will be reset to expire in 30 days (or 60 days for for sale Postlets) from the day you renew it.
27. What happened to my PRO credits?
As of July 12th, 2011, Postlets PRO offering became available for free to all users. If you have unused PRO credits they can be used towards one of Zillow's paid offerings that provide Featured Properties, advertising placements plus many other great features on Zillow.
To obtain your Zillow credit, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Americans live shorter lives -- and are in generally worse health -- than citizens of other wealthy nations, according to an extensive report released Wednesday by the National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine.
The analysis of international health data, available here, determined that American men had the lowest life expectancy among men in 17 countries, including wealthy European nations, Australia, Canada and Japan. U.S. women had the second-lowest life expectancy (only Danish women fared worse.)

Haven't blogged for a while, but like too when I get one of those 'I didn't realise that' moments.....
We've got a number of Visually Impaired kids here at the school, who make use of the Magnifer built into Windows 7. I've got them in a seperate security group which switches on an extra folder in the Start Menu giving access to the Ease of Access tools. Always thought it worked well, select magnifier and a docked version of the application runs. However, I was informed today that
Monday was the big day for us this week; we've switched over on Friday afternoon to our new fully IP based system consisting of a Splicecom Maximiser 5100 Call Server supporting 118 phones. So far, so good with it all appearing to be working well and recieved well by all staff.
It has however been a long time in planning; with support from the community on here as a whole I felt it only right to detail my experience over the last few months.
I've been fortunate that
So, I've got all the VLAN in place ready for VOIP, just a few tweaks to be done to servers and stuff but nothing major. I'm still trying to nail down the exact QoS configuration but I've put that ball in the court of the supplier for now . I've got a 10 more Switches with PoE on order in places where we don't have the capacity.
Further discussions with the supplier states that the system needs to be able to Multicast, and with the Softphone feature on the desktops PCs it looks
I had one of those moments today; the mist cleared (only slightly) in sorting our network out with a VLAN ready for a VOIP implementation.
The various posts here on Edugeek once again proved valuable, and I'm chuffed to bits that I've got it sorted to a certain point (have yet to tweak various Server gateway addresses).
Next step later on down the line is to start segmenting the next work into logical parts but need a NAT box of somesort to do that correctly.
One of my Summer tasks has been to get SIMS migrated from our ageing server onto a new Server. I've gone down the route of hosting it on a virtual machine based on a XenServer Host. First impressions are all good so far.
In all the planning of this and arranging for Capita to do the migration, you suddenly realise how many other systems feed off your SIMS database and these too need either migration or re-configuring. These include simple things like the Frog SIMS Extractor right

Most of us live by the mantra "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." However, this mindset can cost you dearly when it comes to your network. Like many small businesses, you probably don't think about upgrading your network until something goes wrong.
Maintaining your business network should involve more than disaster control and recovery; ideally, it's based on your company's business goals and plans for future growth. This kind of network planning will save you time and money in the long run, ensure your business's success, and help you avoid short-term "gotchas."
Here are some do's and don'ts to keep in mind when considering upgrading your small business network.
Do invest in business-class products: To save money, a lot of small businesses buy consumer products. Although certainly cheaper, they don't provide the features adequate to run and support a more complex business environment. Routers, switches, and other core networking products built specifically for small businesses will provide a secure, reliable platform for your business.
Don't ignore bandwidth needs: When planning network equipment purchases, you should estimate your business's future network use. Knowing your bandwidth needs will help you select the right network products to support your business and avoid future bottlenecks.
Tip: Work with your IT partner to be sure they know the size and type of files that will be hosted and the number of users you expect to view them.
Don't wait for something to break: Even a minor network glitch can bring your business to a standstill, and this downtime can cost you plenty—more than just the price of a replacement device. If you're customers can't reach you, you're losing revenue, too. Planning ahead to replace older networking gear before it fails will keep your business running smoothly.
Tip: Keep an inventory list of all network equipment with the date purchased, serial number, etc. to track the age and performance of each.
Do pay attention to performance: Are your employees complaining that the network is slow? That feedback along with other performance analytics you may be using to monitor network performance is a good indication that your network needs upgrading. Pay attention to it.
Tip: Monitor your network performance regularly. Keep a log and look for patterns that could indicate trouble spots.
Don't be short sighted: If you're fixing network problems when they occur as a stopgap then you're losing sight of the bigger picture. Consider your company's longer-term goals when creating a network upgrade plan to ensure the products you choose can grow with the business.
Tip: Meet regularly with key players to review the company's mid-term goals and make sure your network can support those plans.
Every small business has been waylaid by a network hiccup at one time or another. What's been your worst network failure? Did it change the way you plan for network upgrades?

Update on the refugee camp that now lives in the sky(Updates reaction from ECHO in paragraph 9)
A few months ago I wrote a story about a controversial online game posted on Facebook called the "The City That Shouldn't Exist" that was consequently pulled off the Web days after its launch amid claims it objectified refugees and lacked sensitivity.
The game developed by the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) with funding from ECHO, the European Commission's humanitarian agency, and designed to raise awareness of Dadaab refugee camp on the Kenyan-Somali border, is now back online but with some noticeable changes.
Some features have been removed such as Mr. ECHO's lover calling him "my hero" as he leaps out of bed on hearing an emergency siren go off. That was deemed too cheesy. You can still rescue or "drag and drop" your refugees as you do your supplies but instead of them walking towards a pile of bones, now they just walk towards a hole.

MANATEE Manatee County commissioners Thursday voted 5-2 to consider an ordinance calling for a referendum asking voters to OK a half-cent sales tax increase to finance healthcare for the indigent.
After noting that the countys fund to provide healthcare for the poor will run out in 2015, Deputy County Administrator Karen Windon told the commission that its unclear what will happen with the federal Affordable Care Act, but its clear that in 2015 the county will need a new way to provide health care funding for the poor.
Allowing people to vote on whether to institute a half-cent sales tax increase would change the face of this community, she told the commission.
Several commissioners said they were skeptical of the proposal because it did not include a detailed plan to solve a myriad set of problems that the uninsured and the underinsured bring to local medical facilities.
Commission Chairman Larry Bustle said, Whos going to do this, and whos going to administer it?
People will still be going to the expensive hospital emergency rooms for basic care, no matter whether we pass a referendum or not, Bustle said. He asked for a more formal plan of action that would details how the money would be spent.
But in the end, he voted in favor of considering the ordinance at the commissions March 12 meeting. Others in favor were commissioners John Chappie, Robin DiSabatino, Michael Gallen and Carol Whitmore.
Voting against the idea were commissioners Vanessa Baugh and Betsy Benac.
It seems like poor timing to me, said Benac, noting that no one really knows how the massive federal reform of the U.S. healthcare system will affect Manatee County.
Most provisions of the federal Affordable Care Act, a reform of the U.S. healthcare system designed to insure 37 million Americans now without coverage, are set to go into effect Jan. 1, 2014.

That the Pirates were willing to take a big risk speaks well of embattled general manager Neal Huntington.
The Pittsburgh Pirates signed free agent pitcher Francisco Liriano to a two-year, $14 million contract.
The Red Sox's interest in Joel Hanrahan is real, but don't expect them to trade Felix Doubront.
Pittsburgh Pirates closer Joel Hanrahan is receiving interest on the trade market, but the team isn't willing to part with him without getting a good deal in return.
Pittsburgh Pirates closer Joel Hanrahan is drawing interest from the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Pirates' closer is on the market, but it's an unfortunate time to try to trade him.
Pittsburgh Pirates are listening to a deal involving pitcher Joel Hanrahan, according to FOX Sports' Ken Rothenthal. The biggest suitor seems to be the Texas Rangers.
Joel Hanrahan has saved 76 games over the last two seasons, but the Pirates are reportedly pushing to trade him.
The Pirates revealed their new Sunday alternate jerseys and Andrew McCutchen even played model for them.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have hired Jeff Branson as their assistant hitting coach.

DURHAM — Investigators on Monday announced the arrest of a man charged in one of two weekend homicides.
Derrick Eugene Williams, 24, of Linwood Avenue, was arrested in connection with the shooting death of Donald Ray Scott, 52.
Police think Scott was in a car when he was shot early Saturday morning. Investigators said the driver of the vehicle Scott was in flagged down an officer on Fayetteville Street over the Durham Freeway. Scott was shot after an argument, investigators said, adding that the shooting does not appear to be random.
Williams has convictions for larceny, possession of stolen property, assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, trespassing and assault on a female.
He is on probation for driving with a revoked license and has an April 16 court date in Raleigh for multiple driving infractions.
Meanwhile, detectives are still trying to contact the next of kin of a man shot and killed on the 600 block of Troy Street early Sunday morning.
Anyone with information about Sunday's homicide is asked to contact Investigator C. Robinson at 919-560-4440, ext. 264 or CrimeStoppers, which pays cash for anonymous tips leading to an arrest in felony cases, at 919-683-1200.
The two homicides were the city's fourth and fifth of the year. There have been a total of six homicides in the county this year.

Wow, I appreciate it! That is quite a compliment!
Can't wait to see you play at the AAA level in Rochester. No disrespect to the Twins, but there have been some rather error-prone people playing the middle infielder positions in recent years. The Wings could use a talented and gutsy leader out there for once. Hope you make it!

The three chefs have kept a tight lid on the partnership and the restaurant concept, until now.
