One for all and all for one
Vladimir Putin is going to win the election in Russia because he did for Russia what other leaders did not.
Vladimir Putin is the first Russian leader who fighted the corruption in Russia publicly. He is also the one who changed the face of Russia and gave a new hope to the country and russian people. He is also the one who gave a chance to foreign companies to have their own bussiness in Russia without any trouble. He is the one who started to develop the Universities, factories, sport in Russia. We know that the competition exists in the world, each country wants to sell its products in Russia so they don't really like the russian factories. He is also the one who stopped the wars in other parts of Russia. He kept the unity of Russia. Russia started to have beautifull roads from the north to the south of the country. Now everybody has his new car and house in the country in Russia.
Yes there is also trouble with salaries. The corruption still exists. People want to have higher salaries, people want to have jobs in their towns and not only in Moscow and Saint Peterburg. People want to have cheap houses. But we should understand that Russia lives his new history with a new social democratic system and for any government to solve the trouble of people after a changement of system, it will take some time.
Alcohol, drugs&wars killed plenty of young people in Russia from 1991 to 1999. It was easy to find drugs and alcohol during this time in Russia. What did the goverment do during this time to protect the youngs ? I don't know. The corruption was very strong in all fields during this period. China solved this trouble a long time ago by death sentence. Russia wanted to be "democratic". Who did pay the democraty? Of course people. Many people died like flies during this period. We have also to mention the very high inflation during this period. Michael Gorbachev lost the presidential election in 1996 with 1% against Elsin who won it with 53%. Then arrived Vladimir Putin in 2000.
There is a period in the CCCP where people had a good life for exemple in 1970. People studied for free, they had jobs, they had houses for free. They practiced sport of high level. Shops were full of products for everybody even if they had to stand in a line.
Each system has its advantages and disadvantage. We have to find the golden middle.
But Russia needs a serious leader, to develop the country and protect his people.
Anyway I will vote for Vladimir Putin.
P.M. Putin has the support of the people
The Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, enjoys the support of a majority of members of Russian society and that support has not dwindled after opposition rallies held on December 10th and on Saturday according to a statement by the press secretary for the Prime Minister, Dmitry Peskov.
In the statement Mr. Peskov said that clear evidence of this were the results of the previous December 4th elections to the lower house of parliament during which the United Russia Party, led by Prime Minister Putin, won a comfortable majority.
At the same time, the government has listened to the "voice of the opposition" and has taken specific steps to reform the political system and to further its democratization.
Modern dancer
Isadora Duncan (May 27, 1877 — September 14, 1927) was a dancer, considered by many to be the creator of modern dance. Born in the United States, she lived in Western Europe and the Soviet Union from the age of 22 until her death at age 50. In the United States she was popular only in New York, and only later in her life. She performed to acclaim throughout Europe.
Duncan boasted that she had been a radical since the age of five, but her political views took a more radical turn when she toured Russia in the wake of the 1905 revolution. There Duncan came to see the possibility of an intimate relationship between revolutionary politics and revolutionary art, and these ideas increasingly shaped her dance. Duncan believed that liberating the body from rigid and highly choreographed dance mirrored the liberation of humanity from the confines of mind-numbing convention and blind obedience to outmoded political systems. From the 1900s on, Duncan became a living symbol of revolt, revolution, women's emancipation, and sexual freedom. Duncan spoke out in support of many radical issues; foremost was the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. In 1921 Lenin invited her to establish a school of dance in Moscow. In the Soviet Union Duncan threw herself into creating a politically informed art for the masses. She choreographed dances for the Soviet Union's national anthem, the workers' hymn "The Internationale," as well as for other national peoples' songs, such as Ireland's "Wearin' o' the Green" and France's "Carmagnole."
Through most of the 1900s and 1910s Duncan lived in Europe and the Soviet Union but returned to America to give extended tours benefiting Russian famine relief and other radical causes. On a visit in 1922, when many Americans viewed foreigners and communists with suspicion, immigration officials detained Duncan at Ellis Island in New York City. There officials questioned her about her pro-Bolshevik views. Exposure of her radical politics led the press and conservative civic groups to vilify her as a dangerous radical promoting communism. Newspapers ran headlines that announced Duncan was an "agent of Moscow," and many cities canceled her performances in the wake of such damning press. Finally, deprived of her U.S. citizenship, Duncan fled what she called the "narrow-minded, hypocritical, loathsome United States," vowing never to return. Duncan lived out her life in France, until her death in an automobile accident in 1927.

Afghan National Army tanks: U.S. Navy
The group of economists, anthropologists, lawyers, humanitarian personnel, and political scientists involved in the project estimated that the cost of caring for the veterans injured in the wars will reach $1 trillion in 30 or 40 years. In estimating the $4 trillion total, they did not take into account the $5.3 billion in reconstruction spending the government has promised Afghanistan, state and local contributions to veteran care, interest payments on war debt, or the costs of Medicare for veterans when they reach 65.
The Congressional Budget Office, meanwhile, has assessed the federal price tag for the wars at $1.8 trillion through 2021. The report says that is a gross underestimate, predicting that the government has already paid $2.3 trillion to $2.7 trillion.
More than 6,000 U.S. troops and 2,300 contractors have died since the wars began after Sept. 11. A staggering 550,000 disability claims have been filed with the VA as of 2010. Meanwhile, 137,000 civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq have died in the conflict. (Injuries among U.S. contractors have also not yet been made public, further complicating the calculations of cost.) Nearly 8 million people have been displaced. Check out Reuters' factbox breaking down the costs and casualties here.
Perhaps the most sobering conclusion of the researchers is that it's unclear whether the human and economic costs are worth it. Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden are now dead, the Taliban is marginalized, and the dangerous terrorist network al-Qaeda has been all but destroyed. But Iraq and Afghanistan are far from being stable democracies. Meanwhile, the half a percentage point a year in GDP growth the war has fueled has been offset by the enormous increase in the national deficit, the report says.
"We decided we needed to do this kind of rigorous assessment of what it cost to make those choices to go to war," study co-director Catherine Lutz told Reuters. "Politicians, we assumed, were not going to do that kind of assessment."
The researchers recommend that the U.S. government be more transparent in disclosing the costs of its wars to taxpayers, by including the costs of future health care for veterans, the cost of paying interest on debt taken out to fund the wars, and estimating how much state and local governments take on in war costs. You can see their recommendations here.

Slinging a smooth stone
Miss Moneypenny and Q would have been proud
According to a CNN on-line story from Reuters News Service, police officers near Brussels, Belgium have apparently caught some ingenious and determined, rabbit hunters.
Two men and 14 rabbits, were found in a bulletproof car stopped by Belgian police officers.
The vehicle, a James Bond dream car; was equipped with among other things, a hare-blinding halogen spotlight, a spring-loaded box equipped with tire traps, a mechanism designed to jettison two junked bicycles in front of pursuers, lead sheeting over the license plates, and the aforementioned armor-plating.
Apparently, armor-plated cars are cheap in Belgium and rabbits bring a really high price.
It was never made clear in the story if the rabbits were to be sold on the open market, kept as pets, used for meat, or if the two hunters planned to keep them to start their own personal rabbit warren.
Though it has been impossible to confirm the following information about the preceding incident, it's being reported here somehow seems necessary. It is recommended however, that the reader reach for a large salt shaker . -Ed.
An inquiry was reportedly made as to the driver's identification.
It has been alleged that upon being asked to identify himself, the dapperly dressed bald-headed hunter raised a shaken (not stirred) martini to the officer and replied, Fudd....Elmer Fudd; call me double-oh-seven. I have a license to kill wabbits.
However, when Mr. Fudd was asked to produce said license he was unable to do so and was immediately taken into custody.
Fudd then reportedly burst into song (operatic) and began singing Kill the wabbit. Kill the wabbit.
His passenger, a Mr. T. Devil, was reportedly carrying a Tasmanian passport; and is alleged to have been extremely combative and resistant to arrest. He reportedly had to be restrained by several Belgian officers. It is also reported, though unproven, that Mr. Devil was, while restrained, placed into a large freight box in a transport plane on a nonstop flight to Tasmania, and later removed from the aircraft by parachute.
After taking each of their statements, the 14 hostages, (including four juvenile siblings Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter), were released, having chosen one B. Bunny as their spokesperson.
Another captive, one B'rer Rabbit objected to Bunny's having been chosen to speak, but the hostages insisted that Mr. Rabbit was ...too sneaky. to speak for the group.
Bunny explained that Fudd, Devil and he [Bunny] have a history of conflict. Fudd and Devil have allegedly pursued and captured Bunny frequently over the past 30 to 40 years. It was Bunny's contention that despite the fact Devil has been deported and Fudd had been first incarcerated and then reprimanded, no rabbit will ever be safe with either man free on wildlife.
The word for the week is cartoon.

About Postulator
I've assumed all along that Techdirt is a "site of interest" to the FBI/NSA. People who post on this website clearly are much too interested in having personal freedoms, and therefore must be terrorists.
Good on him - hopefully everything he did fits within the law.
Wow. He believes the NSA when it says it doesn't use information for commercial purposes? There really are some morons in the media - you're supposed to question everything, not just assume that your buddies are telling you the absolute truth.
The Snowden leaks have actually been managed impeccably. They have been released gradually, allowing the media and the public time to analyse each new revelation. They have in some cases been timed to contradict something an official said days earlier. Basically, the leakers have control. That must frustrate the NSA and its friends no end.
They cannot just "publish the lot" though. First, I'd be surprised if they do really know everything that Mr Snowden took. Their claim to do so implies some sort of auditability that they have so far shown a total lack of.
Publishing everything brings another problem. If Edward Snowden is a traitor for leaking NSA records, then surely the agency would likewise be treacherous if it released/declassified what he has. Worse (from the NSA's perspective) - doing so may carry the implication that Snowden was right in releasing information, and destroy any criminal case against him.
So yes, revealing everything would be sensible as it would take control of the situation back. However, it carries with it significant pain and the NSA just won't accept that responsibility.
The IETF is clearly thinking about the right things and heading the right way. It appears to be intent on ensuring the Internet is available for people first.
I expect that in the next few years "safe" countries will emerge, that are happy to treat your private data as private. Those countries will end up housing a lot of data that to date, and through no ability for the user to choose, has been stored quite insecurely.
Government agencies, on the other hand, are going to find this new world quite frustrating. Swiss banks have in the last few decades finally allowed "law enforcement" agencies to see who owns deposits; I expect that trend to be reversed when it comes to data. Governments will find that companies are not always prepared to just hand over the keys to personal data - and I expect there will be court cases that punish companies for not protecting their customers. At the moment there is no incentive for companies to keep customer data private - but enforcement of existing laws in the EU and elsewhere are likely to create some very strong reasons for protection of personal details.
It will take time, but we are likely to end up not only with a more secure Internet but with more personal freedom and privacy as a result of the Snowden Affair (film rights currently being negotiated).
Has anyone told Mike Rogers about the webcam installation above his shower?
Not that he needs to know, of course.
I love how the NSA now has its pawns hitting comment boards to say "everyone does this, so it can't be so bad". Seriously? The most powerful government in world history, with the world's most connected "information" agency, and the best you can come up with is "Mum, Jimmy's parents let him do it!" "So if Jimmy jumped off a cliff..."?
So what if "everyone does it"? You shouldn't. I don't want my government spying on other governments, and I don't want other governments spying on my government. It doesn't matter whether they're friends or enemies, it's just wrong. Rude. Impolite and impolitic. Whether or not you get busted is not relevant - you shouldn't do it.
Start talking, and stop relying on the fact that you've read the other guy's notes before the meeting.
It's great to see some cracks emerging in the to-date implacable solidarity. Hopefully this will lead to more truth.
Sounds to me like state-sponsored terrorism.
Scared yet?
I think government should be totally transparent. It is there for the citizens, and they need to know what is being done in their names. Without knowing what my government knows, how can I trust anyone, from politicians to the public servant who assesses my tax return?
In the digital, all-accessing age the default position should be "publish everything", with opportunity to argue for specific restrictions.
Sorry to have to break this to you, but the rest of the world had noticed US hypocrisy. We were just too polite to say anything until you announced it as a formal policy yourselves.
This is one of the guys who thought they had the brains to beat the legal system. Things can only go downhill.
Close the service down, and move it and the company offshore to a country that values privacy.
Of course, that's basically what will happen over the next five to ten years - and hopefully countries will fall over themselves to show how conscious they are of the need for individual privacy protection.
I'd like the NSA to do something useful for once, and tell me where my next job will be.
Can't the army afford decent actors and editors (the first clip has an appalling splice), along with a script-writer who has a clue? I couldn't bear the awfulness of the second video for long enough to reach a Chelsea Manning reference.
Maybe they should stick with their day jobs.
So Techdirt is now preparing itself for an appearance before a British magistrate, having published these names while aware that they were the subject of a restraining order?
Presumably Techdirt's British representative, Emma Peel, will front court.
Where are the prosecutions? The resignations? The calls for a complete, open and (importantly) totally arms-length inquiry? Why are heads of departments not resigning/being sacked?
This whole episode is very ugly, and getting uglier by the day. Thank you for your bravery and honesty, Mr Snowden. Your country should be calling you a hero, and instead it continues to persecute you while protecting so many others.
Only Dutch telcos? I'd be surprised.
They forgot the golden rule: when you're involved in a criminal enterprise, you all hang together - otherwise you'll all hang separately.
By hanging Gibbs out to dry Steele and Hansmeier have created a huge problem for themselves.

In the music industry, the "Greatest Hits" album has been a staple for every major band. Even when there aren't enough hits to fill a disc, that's not going to stop a record label from trying. It's an easy way to make a few extra bucks off of consumers who couldn't be bothered to buy the individual albums. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is a lot like Namco's greatest hits album, featuring the most popular characters from the last three Tekken sequels. It's a comprehensive collection of what made those games great, conveniently packaged on a single DVD.
The original Tekken Tag Tournament was a similar experience, mashing together the best elements of the first three installments. It was also a launch title for the PlayStation 2, which might explain why it was more of a half-step than a full sequel. This wasn't a bad game by any measure, but was a bit of a letdown after all the acclaim for Tekken 3.
It's been twelve years since that first game. Having seen the genre nearly die and then suddenly be resurrected, consumers expect a lot more from their fighting games. The good news is that Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is a much more enticing package than the 2000 original. You get a wide cast of diverse characters, exciting online multiplayer options and a few worthwhile tweaks to the mechanics. Unfortunately, this sequel feels a little barebones when compared to the myriad of fighting games currently on the market.
In all, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 features a staggering 59 playable characters. On top of the 41 fighters from Tekken 6, we're given fan favorites from each of the previous installments. Kunimitsu, Michelle Chang and Prototype Jack are all pulled in from the original Tekken, while Angel, Jun Kazama and Alex all come from Tekken 2. Tekken 3 is also represented, thanks to Ogre, Dr. Boskonovitch, Tiger Jackson, Forest Law and Ancient Ogre. And don't forget about Violet and Miharu Hirano from Tekken 4. These characters are all given new models and exciting ending cinemas.
A diverse cast this large is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, it's going to take a really long time to master all 59 playable characters. From an economical point of view, this game makes a lot of sense. But with so many characters, learning how to effectively defend against the thousands of moves will take months. The roster is overwhelming, making this a daunting experience for those new to the franchise.
The game teaches the fundamentals through a silly five chapter story involving Tekken 4's lovable Combot. Here you'll learn all about releasing punisher moves, air juggles and tag combos. But the game doesn't just show you what to do; it challenges you to use them in several different scenarios. As a result, I felt like I truly understood what Tekken Tag Tournament 2 was expecting from me.
Along with being a strong teaching tool, this mode has a lot of fun giving Street Fighter a hard time. A lot of the training stages play out like a one-note Saturday Night Live skit. Some of your favorite Capcom characters are here, but not like you've ever seen them before. The writing is clever and the jabs at other fighting franchises are a welcome change of pace. This is one of the few times where a tutorial has not only engaged me, but made me laugh at the absurdity on screen. I came away excited to play Tekken. What's more, I came out knowing that this wasn't just a half-step.
But as I started to tackle each of the game's single and multiplayer modes, I started to lose some of my initial enthusiasm. It all started with the single-player arcade mode, which has you fight a bunch of tag team matches before making us face off with the sinister boss. This plays out exactly like any other Tekken game, only this time around there are two people on each side. Once you've cleared the stages, you get a fun ending cinema and spit back out to the main menu. It's all very familiar.
There's also the ghost battle, where you challenge one team of enemies after another. Here you'll see fighters wearing all kinds of wacky outfits and sporting accessories. This approximates the sensation of playing in the arcade, where you're playing a never ending line of people with their own customized characters. Along with seeing all sorts of unique costumes, you'll also be able to level up each of your characters and earn money that can be used to customize each of your fighters.
Most of the other modes are the type of thing that comes standard in fighting games. You get a survival mode, which involves the player fighting through as many stages as possible before running out of health. There's the time attack mode, where you clear a series of stages as quickly as possible. You will also find a couple variations on the versus mode, including one where each player gets to be on the same side.
Much like the single-player options, the online multiplayer modes are also a mixed bag. You get the standard ranked and player matches, as well as a Tekken channel that allows you to watch replays of past matches. Interestingly the game allows you to form a team and get involved in the world arena. Here you can jump into a social area where you can simply chat or jump into a fight. This is a fun idea that isn't completely original, but nevertheless done well.
I did run into some match making problems early on. There's no reason why my low level fighter should be matched up with a "Master" (their term, not mine) on a 20 game winning streak. That aside, I was impressed with the online performance. Even after playing dozens of matches, I only ran into a few laggy rounds. Namco has done an excellent job of allowing you to filter for certain types of latency, making for a smooth experience through and through. Even waiting for a match to open up is painless, as you're whisked away to the practice stage while you wait.
Whether online or off, I found myself conflicted with the fast-paced action. So much of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 revolves around air juggling combos, which can sometimes make the game feel cheap. An experienced player can go an entire round without letting the other person hit the ground. This felt unbalanced and made me yearn for the days of Tekken 3.
On the other hand, those fighting fans who have kept up with the series now have the most comprehensive Tekken game ever made. It's hard to deny the impressive roster of characters and the thousands of moves this title brings to the table. I marvel at the 59 characters and have no trouble believing that this will tide veteran players over until Tekken 7 is announced.
If there's one thing both experienced players and newcomers can agree on, it's that Tekken Tag Tournament 2 looks phenomenal. The game boasts an impressive selection of stages, each more impressive than the last. I really like how a simple parking lot fight is highlighted by the setting sun. Another stage has us battling on a fishing boat, making us seasick with each wave. There's a holiday-themed winter wonderland level that looks like it came out of the biggest budget Christmas movie of all time. Even the more mundane levels are improved with destructible walls and floors you can slam your opponent through.
The characters are also beautifully designed. The classic characters are all stunning, especially Jun Kazama. Ogre has never looked more ferocious and you can feel every single punch Jack-6 lands. The special moves are visually stunning and it's hard not to fall in love with how fluid the animation is. This is the best Tekken has ever looked. If this is what Namco can do with the aging Xbox 360, I can't wait to see what is up their sleeves with the next generation consoles.
When it comes down to it, I wish there was more to do in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. The presentation is superb and there are almost too many characters, but there just wasn't a lot to do. I miss the silly mini-games Namco would add into their releases, like Tekken Bowling. As long as we're collecting all of the characters, why not include the best of these mini-games? Sadly, that wasn't on Namco's agenda. Instead we get a bunch of predictable modes. Next time around, Tekken will have to step up with the kind of fighting game story we saw in Mortal Kombat and Dead or Alive 5.
This long overdue sequel delivers everything you expect from a Tekken game. I'm talking about crazy endings, explosive action and tons of characters. Unfortunately, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 only features a limited amount of modes and relies too heavily on air juggling combos. I suppose no Greatest Hits collection is perfect.

Very Good
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is often cheap and barebones. However, it's also one of the most comprehensive fighting games I've ever played. With 59 characters and thousands of moves, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 has been specifically designed with fans in mind. Newcomers will also enjoy the large roster and cinematic endings, but may find the online multiplayer unwelcoming!

through enabling important metadata to be encrypted and distributed securely
New York, NY - January 17, 2013 - The human rights organization WITNESS and The Guardian Project, the mobile security and app development experts, have been awarded a Knight News Challenge for Mobile grant by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation for their mobile app InformaCam.
The Knight News Challenge for Mobile accelerates media innovation by funding breakthrough ideas in news and information. InformaCam - the first mobile app seeking to address issues of authentication for digital media - is one of eight winners in this Challenge.
The mobile phone has become the de facto tool for documenting dramatic events in the world around us. "Through events like the Arab Spring, we've seen rapid growth in content from every day people on the ground, and journalists have had to figure out how to verify it. This project by WITNESS has the ability to address a real need in today's newsrooms," said John Bracken, program director for journalism and media innovation at Knight Foundation.
Sam Gregory, program director at WITNESS noted, "Beyond newsrooms, human rights organizations and courts of law also receive citizen-shot media but it is often missing vital information that would enable them to verify the story - such as who shot it, who might have handled it since its creation, and surrounding context. In short, a reliable source of data that can answer, "Is this for real?""
WITNESS' technology manager Bryan Nunez continued, "Any effort to make sure citizen media can be authenticated and used as evidence needs to leverage mobile devices and the networks used to transfer and distribute this media." InformaCam is the first such app that attempts to address these needs.
InformaCam allows users to incorporate key metadata into their video file (who, what, where, and other identifiers), to watermark it as coming from a particular camera, and share it in an encrypted format with someone the user trusts.
"A mobile app alone will not solve the issues related to authenticating video and photos, nor will it replace good journalistic practice, but it will give those looking to verify digital media a big head start," said Nathan Freitas, founder of The Guardian Project.
WITNESS is also advocating that social media platforms and video sharing sites incorporate an opt-in function - a "witnessing" mode - based on InformaCam's features that allows for easier authentication of videos and photos. This would enable people the option to use mainstream platforms for sharing critical news events while increasing the usability of their media.
The News Challenge, one of three launched in 2012 by the Knight Foundation, accelerates projects with funding and advice from Knight's network of media innovators. For the mobile round, Knight Foundation sought ideas that harness mobile technology to inform and engage communities.
WITNESS, The Guardian Project and all winners of the Challenge will present their projects via livestream at 12:30 p.m. EST |10:30 a.m. MST Friday Jan. 18, from a gathering on the future of media at Arizona State University.
Notes to media: Sam Gregory and Bryan Nunez of WITNESS and Nathan Freitas and Harlo Holmes of the Guardian Project are available for interview. Please contact Matisse Bustos Hawkes at WITNESS to arrange interviews. Contact Patrick Kowalczyk at PKPR for information on the full list of Challenge for Mobile winners or to interview Michael Maness, VP for journalism and media innovation at Knight Foundation.

Brand Name (Generic Name)
Victoza (liraglutide [rDNA origin] injection)
What is Victoza?
Victoza (liraglutide) is a once-daily injection used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults. Victoza helps lower blood sugar levels along with diet and exercise. It may be used with other diabetes medications. It is not the first therapy patients should try if they have not controlled their diabetes with diet and exercise alone.
Victoza is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. It stimulates the beta cells to release insulin only when blood glucose levels are high. Due to this glucose-dependent mechanism of action, Victoza is linked to a low rate of low blood sugars. The mechanism of blood glucose lowering also delays stomach emptying.
Who can use it? Who can't?
Adults with type 2 diabetes can use Victoza. It is not meant to treat people with type 1.
What dosage can I take and how should I take it?
.6 mg of Victoza should be injected once a day for the first week of use. After that, it is usually increased to 1.2 mg and can be brought up to 1.8 mg if necessary.
How often should I take Victoza?
Once a day, as your doctor may suggest. It can be injected just under the skin in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
When should I take Victoza?
Victoza can be taken at any time of day. It doesn't need to be taken with meals. Your doctor should tell you what will work best for you.
What are possible side effects?
- Headache
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Anti-liraglutide antibody formation
- Immunogenicity-related events
Are other diabetes medications used with it?
Victoza can be used in combination with other medicines. You are encouraged to consult with your doctor to learn about the interactions between Victoza and medications you are taking.
What should I tell my doctor before taking Victoza?
Tell your doctor about any other medications you are on, as well as general allergies and allergies you have to the ingredients of Victoza. Also, tell your doctor if you have digestion problems caused by severe stomach problems, or a history of gall stones, pancreatitis, alcoholism, kidney or liver disease, or high blood pressure.

Time Machine question
I have a Mac Pro with 4Tb of storage and am about to buy a 4Tb external drive to use with Time Machine.
I want to know, if I use this with Time Machine to backup the Mac Pro, will I be able to plug it into my Macbook Pro and boot from it?
The reason being that my Macbook Pro does not have a 4Tb drive or anything even close, and it would be useful to have a drive that mirrors the Mac Pro.
Is this possible?
Or would I have to clone the Mac Pro to the 4Tb drive instead and use it that way?
|Nov 9, 2012, 11:24 AM
Starting with Lion 10.7.2, you can boot from a time machine disk to restore, but you can't boot and run the OS from it like you are asking. To do that you will need to make a cloned drive with CCC or similar tool.
|Nov 9, 2012, 11:43 AM
You cannot boot from a Time Machine backup. If you want to have a bootable backup, then yes, you would need to clone your drive(s).....just as stated by Weaselboy.
If you wanted to use Time Machine as your backup method, then, if your drive(s) fail in the Mac Pro you could boot to the Recovery Partition and then restore from your Time Machine backup.
But........You mention that you DO NOT have a 4 TB HDD in the Mac Pro, I am therefore assuming that you are using several disks. This does raise some other issues. If the disks are being used independently (all mounted as separate volumes), then that is better, but if you have them "strung together" in a concatenated RAID set (giving you one volume of 4 TB), then, if you lose one drive in the set you will lose the whole set and also your ability to boot to the Recovery Partition. Even if they are independent you could still lose your boot drive, so some other bootable drive (USB) is necessary.

My daughter has been attending The Academy of St. Joseph for three years and been loving every minute of it. The education she is getting is exceptional. They teach Singapore math, which has boosted her math skills up to a very competitive level. The wonderful head of the school, Angela Coombs, sets a tone of kindness and fairness. There is no bullying at this school, I think anyone looking for a school in NYC should come on a tour. The school theme of Character, Competence and Compassion is truly evident everywhere you look. The teachers are all extraordinary and the education is excellent.
Our daughter just completed her first quarter at The Academy of St.Joseph and we all just love this school. Last year when we attended the open house we were just blown away. Not only was the faculty warm, informative and professional, but the students were equally impressive. The head of school continues to impress us with her passion for education and dedication to this school. We are assured every day we send our fist child off to school that she is great hands and we made the right decision. This school really is made up of a community that cares deeply for their children. Parents are encouraged to get involved and be a part of the school which is something we were actively searching for in a school. I would encourage any parents looking for a school to take a tour and meet the staff, parents and students. We found when comparing schools in our neighborhood that The Academy blew away all the others.
I can't say enough wonderful things about AOSJ. Our first contact was with Angela Coombs the principal and she is absolutely SPECTACULAR. She is the reason we visited the school in the first place. The staff, the community...everything about it is top notch, and personal. My son absolutely loves his Pre-K3 class and is thriving.
We love this school. Our preK aged boy happily goes every morning and comes home every day having learned something. He has made freinds there, learned to interact with others, learned to share and lewrned all kinds of skills. Every morning is a wonderful school wide assembly where the students begin their day and parents can attend. It's a wonderful community. The teachers are caring and quickly reach out (and are accessible) if there is a perceived issue. The headmaster, Ms Coombs, is energetic, caring, focused and extremely accessible. A great school .... Which is growing every year!
AoSJ is a wonderful school filled with great teachers, parents and kids. It is a small nurturing school where the kids all know each others names. Our child is intellectually engaged and has made many sweet friends. As parents, we have found that the school is a nice community. The only drawback I can see is that because it is small it doesn't offer transportation or have sports teams yet. Other than that we are very happy.
Both of my children (K and Pre-K) are very happy in this school. The support of the head of the school and her assistant is tremendous. There are several outstanding teachers in this school who made a difference in lives of my children. This school's community feels like a big family, where each child is valued and will not be ever left behind. I highly recommend visiting this school and meeting teachers. Today is the first week of summer break, and my kids are already asking when they are going back to school.
I cannot believe another year has gone by at AOSJ! Next year looks even better with enrollment nearly doubling! We get bigger and better every year thanks to the hard work of the fabulous teachers and Ms. Coombs! What a truly great community we have built. I look forward to all the new families we have joining us next year. Thanks to everyone who makes this a special place!
St. Joseph is a really nice school and we are so happy there. Our children like knowing almost all the kids and teachers by name. The families are friendly and definitely care a lot about the school. It is definitely a happy place where you can see the kids are glad to be! We have regular meetings with the teachers and feel like we know exactly how our kids are doing.
We have a son at St. Joseph's and we couldn't be happier. The class size has worked out very well for him. He has about ten other children in the class. Their are 2 teachers - a lead and her assistant. His teacher is very skilled and really loves her job. That makes a big difference. The school has introduced many new after school activities and already has good teachers in place for music, art, gym etc. Families are nice too. I just noticed the post from Angela which reminded me to mention that she is amazing !
Greetings, My name is Angela Coombs. I am the Head of School for the Academy of St. Joseph. I welcome you to visit our wonderful school and to contact me with any questions that you may have. My door is always open. I can be reached at 212-243-5420. Welcome!
My son's in the K class at St. Joseph's and really loves it. The teachers in the school are amazing, as is the principal. They all really care about each child. The families are also very nice and down to earth. Our son loves playing with his friends and hasn't had any complaints. He really respects both of his teachers and loves art, music and gym. The class is stimulating and enriching and we are really happy there!
Really a troubled school. The kindergarten class has several kids that seem to be undiagnosed children with severe behavior and anger problems. We have lost a few students becuase of it, and will lose a few more at the end of the year. The headmistress really has a difficult time dealing with these situations. Mid-year, she demoted the kindergarten teacher to an assistant, and brought in a new K teacher, thinking that would help. Nope. One of the most violent of the boys, his parents have donated all kind of things, including a weekly fitness class. The headmistress can definitely be bought. I cannot wait to leave.
What I find so interesting about this school is there is a group of very happy parents who write a lot of reviews (the head of school and pta memers do, too) but there are many unhappy parents. Most families leave after two years, which says a lot. Only two teachers have stayed at the school for two years, and only one of these has been asked to step down and become an assistant. If you scroll down a bit, you do find reviews that mention some of the issues here. They get bumped back by the happy review writers, but there are very real issues here that should not, for our children's sakes, be ignored.
Our son is in Kindergarten and my husband and I are very happy with every aspect of this school. The teachers are among the best in the city. Young, motivated and very engaging. The school and its wonderful principal Miss Coombs are holding up to very high standards not only in academics but also in creative and social aspects. The communication between the proncipal, the teachers and the parents is very open and productive. as a parent I feel very much engaged in my son's daily life at school. And our son already made a lot of progress and a lot of friends. It's a small school with a very family oriented and nurturing environment. The location is great too. In the middle of the West Village on a tree lined street. The building is beautifully renovated and immaculate. We are very happy here and are looking forward to the years to come.
Academy of St. Joseph's has been a dream come through for our 1st grader. He goes to school motivated to learn and comes home with enthusiasm about his day's experience. The principal, Ms. Coombs, is one of the most focused, diligent, and caring principals we have ever met. She greets the students in the morning, shares a positive note or quote with the students during assembly, and is the last to leave in the evenings. Her commitment to the students' well being is evident the moment you enter the building, and her passion for education is boundless.
As the parent of a Kindergartener, I couldn't be more pleased with the education and amount of individualized attention my child receives at this school. The administration and staff take great care in developing the children, academically, emotionally and socially. This is a very positive and nurturing environment where attention to detail is the order of the day. Since joining Academy of St. Joseph, my child has become more confident and self-motivated, and his academic progress shows it. This is in no small part the result of an incredible and experienced Head of School who takes a very active roll in the classrooms and demands the best of herself, her staff and her students. The children know this and respond to it.
My son is in the Kindergarten class and my husband and I couldn't be happier. We will be sending siblings there as well! The school's principal is completely dedicated to ensuring that the children are educated both academically and socially. She is caring and completely accessible to all of the families. The teachers at the school are top-notch -- they look at each child individually to continually assess strengths and weaknesses. I know that several children are advanced in reading, writing and math and that the teachers (K, 1st Grade and the Principal) ensure that they are challenged. I would say that what makes this school truly unique is its size and the amount of individualized attention that each family gets from teachers and the administration. This is a school that truly cares about its kids and the families that couldn't be kinder. Finally, the school also offers a complete after school program ranging from violin to soccer to art.
This is my first year as a parent in this school and without a doubt, my 6 yo son in first grade has flourished beyond my wildest expectations. There is an open communication policy between the parents and teachers including weekly newsletters with pictures. The director of the school has done a great job providing a loving and inspiring environment and I would highly recommend this school.
The Academy's Community is a second family. My daughter is in K here, and came up through the Academy's pre-K program. These years have been transformative for my her academic development, but I am impressed with the emphasis on character development that is central to the school's mission. The families that the Academy attracts appreciate a strong sense of community, and we share a strong bond and love for our hidden gem of a school. There is not one child in my daughter's class that I hesitate to have her around. She doesn't come home with bad words or exposure to themes her father and I don't approve of. It's a wholesome environment that we absolutely love, and good things keep happening for the Academy! We can't wait to welcome more families to our growing school!
Yes, there are definitely discipline problems in this school. The K class seems like a dumping ground for hyperactive and other strange little boys. Not a nice experience at all for our child. We're considering pulling out and enrolling in public. I had such high hopes for this school.

Yes, the Democrats have a few nutcases. But they aren't the party leaders. But look at the GOP primary. Romney won because the rest were complete nutters. Lunacy is the main blood of the GOP these days.

Chicago Riverwalk designs unveiled
By Leonor Vivanco @lvivanco
Imagine kayak rentals, fishing piers, and restaurant patio seating all along the Chicago River downtown.
It's all included in the plans for the future Chicago Riverwalk.
Chicagoans can get a glimpse of what is planned when the Chicago Department of Transportation hosts a community meeting from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Chicago Architecture Foundation, 224 S. Michigan Ave., to present its plans to build out the riverwalk from State to Lake Streets.
The concept is to have a continuous walkway but have distinct features for each of the six blocks divided by the bridges over the river.
"We're very excited about it. We think the Chicago Riverwalk is a terrific amenity for the city and serves as a wonderful tourist attraction and introduction to the Chicago River," said Margaret Frisbie, executive director of the Friends of the Chicago River.
The designs are somewhat reminiscent of San Antonio's River Walk minus the sheer number of hotels, restaurants and bars.
Frisbie sees Chicago's Riverwalk as much broader, more romantic and more unique to Chicago because it would celebrate the river's natural features and highlight its history.
"It's a linear park that provides layers of amenities to attract all kinds of people there," she said.
When the city began Wacker Drive reconstruction in the 1990s, the roadway was reconfigured to allow for the riverwalk expansion and pedestrian access, according to the city. Since then, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial was dedicated just west of Wabash Avenue along the river. The city in 2011 picked a design team to work on plans for the six blocks.
The next step is to finalize funding that the city requested from the U.S. Department of Transportation with the hope of breaking ground this summer, said CDOT spokesman Pete Scales.

All manner of trinkets are available here, from the benign to the highly sought after. All painstakingly assembled, constructed, or crafted by their owners so that mortals such as you and I may love them.
And after you have been filled with the magic of it all and prepare to take that journey home, they sink back into the shadows not to be seen for another week, still assembling, constructing, and crafting.
Situated at the beach end of Cavill Avenue, across the road from MacDonalds, are the Surfers Paradise Markets. It's not a big market, stretching over two blocks, but it is always busy. An attraction for tourists and locals alike.

The Fed signaled it will keep its easing programs in place, but markets were spooked by a tone that sounded slightly less dovish than some traders expected.
Following its two-day meeting, the Fed said in its statement that it would continue with its $85 billion monthly purchases of Treasury and mortgage securities, as expected. But the Fed eliminated some language in its statement, including its concern about a tightening of financial conditions, a reason it cited for maintaining its easing program in September.
The Fed also removed comments about higher mortgage rates, and it did not sound as negative on the economy as some Fed watchers were expecting.
Stocks sold off and Treasury yields zipped higher, while the dollar also moved higher. Stocks were lower going into the statement, and yields were lower. The the Dow sold off more than 100 points before recovering, and the 10-year Treasury yield moved from 2.48 percent before the 2 p.m. ET statement to a high of 2.54 percent after it.
"We've had this rally basically from mid-September's 'no taper' statement to now, where they reinforced the fact tapering is deferred and now the market sells off," said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery.
Both the Dow and S&P 500 rose to record highs in morning trading, before selling off into the Fed statement. The Dow ended the day at 15,618, off 61 points, and the S&P 500 was off 8 at 1763.
Luschini said the market is now digesting a possibility that the Fed pulled forward the timing of tapering. After the 16-day government shutdown, many Fed watchers moved their expectations for tapering to March, due to uncertainty about the economy.
(Read more: Bad month for jobs)
"The Fed didn't acknowledge a suspected weakening in the economic data," Luschini said. "I am assuming the market is interpreting that there could be tapering in December, January or March." He said January would be more likely than December since the Fed would not want to rattle markets during the holiday shopping season.
"It was ever-so-slightly less dovish, and people thought it would be more dovish," said Ward McCarthy, chief financial economist at Jefferies.. "They removed the reference to the increase in mortgage rates and they removed financial conditions." The Fed did, however, say it was still concerned about the housing recovery.
David Ader, chief Treasury strategist at CRT Capital, pointed to a change in market expectations apparent in Fed funds futures. "If you look at November 2015 Fed funds futures, we peaked out at 138 basis points at the beginning of September, and now it's 59 basis points. That 's dramatic," he said.
(Read more: CPI tame in September; helps Fed)
"The market has corrected to a level where the Fed no longer thinks interest rates are a stress for the economy. They did in September. They don't now," he said.
McCarthy said he expects the 10-year Treasury yield to mostly stay in a range now between 2.50 and 2.58 percent, unlike September when it was testing the 3 percent level.
"We still don't really know where the economy sits, and we have no idea at all where fiscal policy sits. The path of least resistance could be lower rates in the short-term," McCarthy said.
The Fed did not specifically refer to the government shutdown and its impact on the economic data, some of which is still delayed, and also expected to be murky for several months. Wednesday's ADP data showed a decline in private sector hiring, with just 130,000 jobs in October. The delayed government jobs report is expected Nov. 8.
"They pretty much said what they said last time. It was a little more cheerful than I expected," said Brad McMillan, chief investment officer for Commonwealth Financial. "It was notable for what it didn't talk about. The shutdown, the debt ceiling negotiations. This is the elephant in the room. This in my belief is why they didn't taper at the last meeting."
(Read more: Taper tease? Market worries Fed will end easing)
Kathy Jones, fixed income strategist at Charles Schwab, said she still expects the Fed to wait until the March meeting, which would be the first chaired by Fed Vice Chair Janet Yellen, who was nominated by President Obama to replace Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke.
"This is them being cautious and saying we're standing pat right now," she said. "It'd be really tough to make a move here. They don't have good economic data…It would really be kind of odd for them to have done anything."
Markets enter the final day of October trading, with solid gains for a month that is seen as typically among the worst. The Dow is up 3.2 percent, and the S&P is up 4.9 percent.
Strategists, while noting a number of red flags, say there's now a good chance the market could be carried higher into year end.
"I think at this point everyone has baked in that we're going to get up to the end of the year, so people are buying into that," said McMillan. "...the market is up so much who wants to be out of the party?"
The market is being supported by the Fed but is also going up while future earnings may prove to be too weak to ultimately support it, McMillan said. He said the market has been setting up for a sell off.
"I think it's overvalued. We're overdue for a significant one," he said. "That said, I don't think that's necessarily going to happen."
There is some data to watch Thursday and plenty of earnings. Weekly jobless claims are released at 8:30 a.m., and Chicago PMI is expected at 9:45 a.m. Earnings expected before the open include Exxon Mobil, MasterCard, Royal Dutch Shell, Avon Products, Cigna, Clorox, Discovery Communication and Time Warner Cable. AIG, Newmont Mining, First Solar, Northeast Utilities, Public Storage and Fluor report after the close.

I worked at Amazon.com full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Very Dynamic, good place to start career, learn lot of things in less period of time, Business is growing and expanding so too many things to learn
Cons – One gets lost on the core and delivering due to so much happening around. Too much volatility due to continuous change in the business. Promotions are hard. Career and self development is neglected.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

L'Oréal Paris Infallible 24HR Eye Shadow
L'Oréal Paris Infallible 24HR Eye Shadow Reviews

Mixed FeelingsI have mixed feelings about this eyeshadow. While it has some great qualities, it's far from being perfect. I like the pigmentation- it's easy to achieve intense color, you need just a little bit. And it blends well. There seem to be some nice colors to choose from too. The not-so-good part is- it does fade a little throughout the day, and there is some creasing going on too. During a normal not-s...read moreweaty, not-sticky day in the office, by the end of the workday I see significant changes on my eyelids. That's given I use primer, and never felt like my eyelids were oily. I also feel like the color you see in the pot is very different from what it looks like on the lids. I got this shade "continuous cocoa", and it looked like a nice deep brown shade in the pot, but on the lids it's more of a pewter gray. It's still a very pretty matte color, but not what I though it would be. I still like the shadow, but I think it's a bit on expensive side given given it fades, creases, and the color is unpredictable (3 stars off for that)... I'd buy it again but only if it was on sale, because it is a little nice than most drugstore eye shadows. — 1 year, 6 months agovenenumletalis | 166 reviews

Nose tackle Jason Ferguson, linebacker Channing Crowder practicingby
A day after each was limited at practice, nose tackle Jason Ferguson (elbow) and linebacker Channing Crowder (shoulder) were working in practice.
Last week, Ferguson sat out Wednesday's practice with a injury, while Crowder sat out all week and missed Sunday's game with his ailment.
Rookie wide receiver Brian Hartline looked good during one-on-one drills, beating back-up CB Jason Allen twice, including a long touchdown, and drawing an interference penalty.
Rookie WR Pat Turner also beat rookie CB Sean Smith for a long score that left Smith limping a bit. But Turner also ran two poor intermediate routes that ended in incompletions and continues to exhibit shaky route running.
With Tom Braday and the Patriots up next, the Dolphins' secondary worked on its dime package.
Rookie safety Chris Clemons, who opened last week's game as a starter, was off to the side, while safeties Yeremiah Bell, Gibril Wilson and Tyrone Culver worked with Smith and fellow CBs Vontae Davis and Nate Jones.
