SEOUL, Nov. 5 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's military intelligence agency confirmed Tuesday that North Korea has conducted five missile engine tests at the country's northwest site in Dongchang-ri this year and has been renovating the test facility since spring.
The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) briefed lawmakers of the parliamentary intelligence committee on the latest development of North Korea's missile and nuclear program, which has been making progress since its long-range rocket test in last December and third nuclear test in February.
"North Korea has continued its missile development following its successful long-range rocket launch in December and conducted five engine tests at Dongchang-ri site this year alone," Rep. Cho Won-jin of the ruling Saenuri Party said in a briefing after a closed-door audit of the DIA, an intelligence agency under the defense ministry.
Construction has been under way since May to expand the missile launch site, while an underground nuclear test site in Punggye-ri in the northeast has been in atomic test-ready condition, Cho said.
DIS chief Jo Bo-geun said the communist nation has stepped up its forces targeting the heavily populated Seoul metropolitan area, placing 70 percent of its 1 million-strong armed forces, 80 percent of fire arms and 2,000 tanks within a 100-kilometer range of the front-line, according to lawmakers briefed by the DIA.
On Tuesday, opposition lawmakers continued to raise suspicions over the link between the defense ministry's Cyber Warfare Command and the National Intelligence Service (NIS), citing the spy agency's involvement in allocating the command's annual budget.
Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin said his agency plans and assigns the budget for the cyber command, while the NIS plays a coordinating role to avoid overlaps in spending on military intelligence activities.
According to the defense ministry, the NIS and the finance ministry assign the budget for the cyber command as the spy agency has the authority over spending in the military and intelligence activities, which are classified as confidential information.
In response to criticism over the cyber command's involvement in domestic politics, Kim said the command's psychological warfare activities are designed to "protect South Koreans from North Korea's propaganda activities in the cyberspace."
"The cyber warfare activities not aimed at misleading people but at fending off wrong propaganda by North Korea," Kim said during a meeting of the Special Committee of Budget and Accounts.
The 400-member cyber command under the defense ministry was created in 2010 to guard against growing online security threat posed by the communist rival, which is believed to have trained elite hackers against South Korea.
But the secretive cyber unit has been at the center of an online smear campaign scandal that also involves the spy agency and other government agencies, tracing back to last December's presidential election.
The scandal centers on allegations that employees of the government agencies in question posted political online comments against then opposition camp candidate Moon Jae-in during the presidential campaign in a bid to sway public opinion in favor of then ruling party candidate and now president, Park Geun-hye.
Former NIS chief Won Sei-won is currently under going trials on charges of election meddling.

17 reviews | 4.8 out of 5
This was one great item I purchase from Wal-Mart online. I brought a 22" a few month ago and that is why I chose the same brand in a larger size. The picture, sound and appearance is the best I ever seen. I really never even new this brand but I am glad I found out about it. You will not make a bad mistake when you buy this product and I am really happy. You will too!!!!!!
I read reviews before I purchased, so here's one now that I own it. Very attractive with the unusual white frame. Picture quality very good, sounds fine, easy to install. Only disappointment, the buttons to manually pperate the TV are on the right side, in my case, too close to the wall corner to use them, and the remote needs babying to get it to respond. Otherwise, for the money, a great treat!
This television is plain in appearance however the white smooth finish gives it a stunning presences. It is light weight and enhances any room. The price is excellent and the quality is great - very clear picture.
Quite satisfied with the TV but do note when the 16x9 aspect is used persons look wider than normal. Especially females.
I was a little nervous after reading some of the reviews, but I decided to go ahead and give this TV a try. So glad I did!! I purchased this as a bedroom TV, but it's even better than the Panasonic 42" I have in my living room. The sound and picture quality is wonderful, and I've had none of the problems with the remote control others have mentioned. Someone else also said there was no previous channel button on the remote, but there is on mine - maybe they've added that recently. If you're looking for a great TV to fill a smaller space - like for the bedroom or gaming - I very much recommend trying this one!
We bought this TV for playing the Wii. We have not had a TV for a long time. We do not have satellite or antenna to watch "television". So I can only tell you our experience with what we have. No problems with it. Images are sharp, sound is fine for playing games. We got our TV on Jan. 5, 2011.
Very pleased with the product.
Nice white flat screen, easy to assemble, clear picture and good sound quality. Easy to navigate menu. Only improvement would be a back lit remote but that is not a big deal as I use the cable box remote anyway. Cant find many TVs (definitely not white ones) at this price for this size!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!! I love it, the reviews were right. The picture is the best I have ever seen and you cannot beat the price. This is a must buy!!!!!
I bought this Television January 2011, and it's stopped working already
two and a half years doesn't seem very long for a TV set
How many brands have a cool white frame? I love this t.v. with many features and low price tag, it is one of the best.
The ultimate coolest white frame! Awesome picture with sharp colors.

Swiss Stocks Rise for Second Day; UBS, Julius Baer Rise
Swiss stocks climbed for a second day on signs of progress in U.S. budget talks and as a report showed German business confidence increased for a second month in December.
Julius Baer Group Ltd., the 121-year-old wealth manager, aided a rally in financial shares. Transocean Ltd. rose as Brent crude gained.
The benchmark Swiss Market Index added 0.5 percent to 6,946.07 at the close of trading in Zurich. The gauge has rallied 17 percent this year as the European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve expanded bond purchases. The broader Swiss Performance Index also advanced 0.5 percent today.
"It became clear to us a few weeks ago that the worries around the fiscal cliff and the worries around Greece were too big," Alain Bokobza, head of strategy at Societe Generale in Paris, said in a Bloomberg Television interview. "That makes it somewhat of a bull market and it will continue."
Stocks rose for the first time in four days yesterday as President Barack Obama softened his position on tax increases. That led to optimism U.S. lawmakers will agree on a compromise budget, preventing more than $600 billion of automatic tax increases and spending cuts -- known as the fiscal cliff -- from coming into force at the beginning of next year.
Tax Threshold
The U.S. House of Representatives may vote tomorrow on Speaker John Boehner's "plan B," which would raise tax rates on income over $1 million, rather than the $400,000 threshold the president proposed in his latest offer. The Obama administration and Democrats rejected the Boehner plan, released yesterday, as inadequate.
Greece had its credit rating raised by Standard & Poor's following the country's debt buyback. The ratings company cited the determination of euro-area governments to keep Greece in the 17-nation currency zone.
"The euro-zone breakup scenario is collapsing," Bokobza said in a separate interview. "The U.S. is working on a good deal" for the budget, he added.
In Germany, the Ifo institute's business climate index, based on a survey of 7,000 executives, climbed to 102.4 this month from 101.4 in November. That's the second straight increase after sentiment dropped to a 2 1/2 year low in October. Economists predicted a gain to 102, according to the median forecast of 43 economists in a Bloomberg News survey.
Julius Baer
Julius Baer rallied 1.7 percent to 33.75 francs. Swiss Re Ltd., the world's second-biggest reinsurer, added 1.9 percent to 67.15 francs.
Shares of banks and financial companies were among the best performers in the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, the region's benchmark, today.
Transocean increased 0.8 percent to 42.35 francs. Brent crude rose for a second day in London.
Swatch Group AG, the biggest maker of Swiss timepieces, gained 1.4 percent to 466 francs. Credit Suisse Group AG reiterated it outperform rating, similar to buy, on the stock and raised its price target to 540 francs from 480 francs.
Syngenta AG, the world's largest agrochemical company, rose 1.2 percent to 376.50 francs, climbing for a fourth day.

Toronto, ON, October 15, 2012 – The next time you think your spouse is playing a game on their phone, you may want to sneak a peek. Online affair service AshleyMadison.com
polled 48,460 of its affair-seeking men and women and reveals today an astounding 86% of its female membership use their mobile phones to coordinate liaisons and connect with their affair partners. Even more shocking, and for husbands to take note of, is that a daring 64% of women log on when they are in the same room as their spouse!
"Technology has had and continues to have a huge influence on female infidelity. Women use their smart phones to stay connected and keep track of daily activities so it's only natural they use it to plan their affairs as well," says Noel Biderman, founder and CEO of AshleyMadison.com. "We were not surprised to learn that 87 percent of those surveyed admitted that our mobile app makes it easier to have an affair, and more importantly, to achieve the discreteness. My guess is that Apple is also benefitting from the demand that infidelity manufactures."
AshleyMadison.com's biggest growth demographic is women between the ages of 25 and 34, an age range that relies heavily on technology for business, and to keep in touch with their families, friends, and even affair partners. Noel adds, "For working women, mobile phones have simplified cheating; from business travel to even just going to and from work, they can connect with lovers discretely on their phone. And for the stay-at-home moms, the option of logging on through the phone offers more discretion than using the family computer."
If we can give men one wake-up call, it is to keep an eye on their wives during the early evening hours, a time when it is likely they are both sitting in the same room. 12% of female members admitted to logging on to AshleyMadison.com post dinner and with 64% logging on when they are in the same room as their husbands. However, according to the survey, the number one time when women check their account on their phone is in the morning between 9 and 11 a.m. with 33% admitting to doing so.
The survey reveals more interesting data:
Who uses their mobile phone to coordinate affairs and log onto AshleyMadison.com:
· 86% women
· 70.3% men
Time of day when members log on to AshleyMadison.com on their Mobile Phone:
· Women: morning (9-11 a.m.) 33%; afternoon (1-4 p.m.) 16%; early evening after dinner 12%
· Men: afternoon (1-4 p.m.) 36%; late at night 15%; morning (9-11 a.m.) 14%
Those who have logged on in the same room as spouse?
· Women: yes 64%
· Men: yes 37%
Has the AshleyMadison.com mobile site made having an affair easier?
· Women: yes 82.8%
· Men: yes 55.7%
Do you use AshleyMadison.com to arrange affairs during business travel?
· Women: yes 41%
· Men: yes 68.4%

I'd like to preface this by saying I'm not a system administrator at all, just a lowly Java programmer. However, I've been tasked with writing a batch script to be run on a sizable number of laptop computers. The script is done, but there's a catch (of course).
They want to be able to plug in a thumb drive containing the script, start it, and pull the thumb drive for the next computer but leave the script running. Oh, and for some reason, using the laptops' built-in wireless to pull the script from a shared network folder isn't an option.
I want to know if there's a good (and preferably easy) way to do this. I thought about having a script on the thumb drive copy the needed script to the hard drive then start it, but I don't know if it will work and I don't really want to leave it on the hard drive after it's done.

The shuffling to form the play queuelist is not working. I use Banshee 2.6.1 Apparently the frequency of songs is independent of their rating. The best rated songs should be more frequent. I've tried reinstalling. How to fix it?
When the list is shuffled, all songs are shuffled with an even chance. Think about it like this, when you shuffle a deck of cards, the cards have no way of getting to the top of the deck even if your chances of winning would be increased. Also, with song shuffling, it is performed randomly. How can there be randomness if some of the objects have priority?

Underage drinking is a reality in St. Johns County and one that needs to be addressed by the community and parents, agreed a panel of community leaders, experts and one teenager Monday evening.
"Parents need to step up. Your job is not to be their buddy," Circuit Court Judge Clyde Wolfe told an audience of about 100 during a community discussion presented by the PACT Prevention Coalition of St. Johns County.
St. Augustine High School senior Shane McWilliams called teenage drinking a "huge, huge problem, bigger than any other problem I see (at school)."
He said beer parties were a regular occurrence, and it's no problem finding out when they'll be.
"It's word of mouth. Everybody hears," McWilliams said.
While McWilliams said he did not drink and never had, he drew a round of applause from an audience sprinkled with his peers, law enforcement and judicial officials and parents and grandparents.
They weren't as pleased when he told them he was "certainly in the minority."
McWilliams admitted his stand was "very difficult. There's nothing to do on a Friday. Everybody's out drinking."
His assertion that peer pressure is the biggest factor was echoed by others, including St. Johns County School Superintendent Joe Joyner.
Peer pressure and the permissive attitude of many parents are two of the biggest problems, Joyner said.
He told of a student who killed himself while driving and drinking and of the phone call he received from the youth's father. He knew his son was drinking, but he said he just wouldn't confront him, Joyner said.
It's a situation he's unfortunately seen repeated since then, he said.
"Our kids are not drinking like any of you ever did. They drink to get drunk," Nickie Gorce, director of Prevention Programs EPIC Community Services, told the audience.
Gorce said parents need to realize the messages they send by drinking or allowing their children to drink. It's a case of "monkey see, monkey do," she said.
Drinking, she warned, is "putting our youth at risk."
That was an assertion echoed by St. Johns County Sheriff David Shoar.
"In the final analysis, really what we're talking about is that teens may get a disease called alcoholism," Shoar said. "We're not talking about choices or lifestyle. You run that risk of catching that disease.
"And you run that risk with your first drink," said panel member Kelly Barrera, the parent of two children.
Both Wolfe and Shoar said more laws weren't needed, but programs that help youth needed to be continued.
"We need to implement what scarce resources we have," Wolfe said.
PACT is seeking ways to reduce underage drinking in St. Johns County. Coming together as a community is one way to make that change, said Beverly Slough, president of PACT.
"We need to come together," Slough said.
Those interested in getting involved can call Julie Kelly at 829-6262.
Monday's program including a movie on underage drinking will be shown on WJCT on April 13, 17 and 25.

Employment Probably Picked Up at Year-End: U.S. Economy Preview
Employment probably rose for a third month in December, bringing U.S. payroll growth last year to about 1 million and pointing to further improvement in the labor market in 2011, economists said before a report this week.
A projected 140,000 gain in December payrolls is the median forecast of 61 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News before the Jan. 7 report from the Labor Department. The unemployment rate may have eased to 9.7 percent from 9.8 percent. Other reports may show faster growth at the nation's factories and service industries last month.
Bigger employment and income gains may help boost sales at companies like Bed Bath & Beyond Inc., allowing the expansion to become well-rooted. Even with the labor market improvement in 2010, it will take years to make up for the 8.4 million jobs lost during the 18-month recession that ended in June 2009.
"Things are improving but it's a gradual momentum that's building," said Michelle Meyer, a senior economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research in New York. "It all comes back to the labor market and so far the jobs recovery has been disappointing."
Estimates for the increase in December payrolls ranged from 95,000 to 215,000 after a 39,000 rise a month earlier and a 172,000 gain in October.
Private payrolls, which exclude government agencies, rose by 155,000 last month after a 50,000 November gain, the survey showed. Including the projected increase for December, companies added about 1.3 million workers last year, the most since 2006.
Indications the economy is improving and will create the conditions for further employment growth helped fuel gains in the stock market last year at the same time companies reported stronger earnings.
Stocks Surge
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 13 percent in 2010 after a 23 percent jump in 2009, making it the biggest two-year advance since the Internet-bubble rally of 1998 and 1999.
Even with the pickup in hiring, the jobless rate has shown few signs of declining. December is forecast to be the 17th month in which unemployment has been 9.5 percent or higher. For all of 2010, joblessness likely averaged 9.7 percent, the worst year since 1982.
States and municipalities with growing budget gaps are cutting spending and reducing headcount. Florida may cut 5 percent of its state workforce to save costs, Governor-elect Rick Scott said in an interview Dec. 3 on Bloomberg Television's "InBusiness With Margaret Brennan."
'Jobs Go Away'
"Our government has grown too fast compared to the private sector," said Scott, 58. "When that happens, jobs go away, so we have to reduce the size of government."
High unemployment explains why Federal Reserve policy makers said they need to follow through on their plan to purchase an additional $600 billion of assets by June.
"The economic recovery is continuing, though at a rate that has been insufficient to bring down unemployment," Fed officials said in a statement after their Dec. 14 policy meeting. Minutes of the Fed's Open Market Committee meeting will be released Jan. 4.
The struggling labor market is also a reason why President Barack Obama negotiated an accord with Congress to pass an $858 billion bill extending all Bush-era tax cuts for two years. The bill also continues expanded unemployment insurance benefits through 2011 and cuts payrolls taxes by 2 percentage points.
"While it appears that the economic environment has stabilized and is perhaps improving, persistent high unemployment and uncertainty in the economy could continue to pressure consumers and affect their spending," Steven Temares, chief executive officer at Union, New Jersey-based Bed Bath & Beyond, said on a teleconference with analysts Dec. 22. Still, "we remain cautiously optimistic," he said.
Holiday Sales
The improvement in the labor market has been enough to generate more sales for retailers. Holiday purchases jumped 5.5 percent, the best performance since 2005, said MasterCard Advisors' SpendingPulse, which measures retail sales by all payment forms. That compared with a 4.1 percent gain a year earlier. The numbers include Internet sales and exclude automobile purchases.
Factories continue at the forefront of the expansion that began in June 2009, while service industries from finance to retail and business consulting are improving.
The Tempe, Arizona-based Institute for Supply Management's factory index rose to 57 in December, the highest in seven months, from 56.6 the prior month, economists surveyed by Bloomberg forecast the group will report tomorrow. A reading higher than 50 signals growth.
ISM's gauge of service industries, which make up about 90 percent of the economy, may rise to 55.7 in December, the highest since May 2006, from 55, economists forecast before the Jan. 5 report.

Oh, they have a tool to check status. 3k. I'll accept, since I've heard Discover tends to be a little stingy.
But... Under your card's features it only lists the CL. Does this mean I didn't qualify for the 0% introductory? I would imagine that with a 3k limit I would get the intro offer...
I believe if you are approved you automatically get the advertised offer. The only thing that may vary is the interest rate after the intro period is up. You should be getting some papers (and the card a litte after) that gives you the general info. If you don't get a paper with your credit score that means you were approved for the best possible rate. Congrats!

I am 27 and I have been suffering with neck stiffness, dizziness, hull aches in my arms, and daily dull headaches. It's been going on for over four months now. The doctors still seem to think it's some kind of virus, but it's gone on for so long. I feel really weak and barely have the energy to do anything anymore. It's really getting me down. I'm finally getting an MRI scan in my head and spine next week, and I have been trying physiotherapy. But still no improvement.

I have had neck pain since I was 9 years old. I had lots of chiropractic treatment through the years, got temporary relief; physical therapy, temporary relief. I have right arm pain, right shoulder pain, right chest pain. It hurts all the time inside below right rib cage about level with belly button deep inside.

This may sound odd, but you may want to consider Lyme disease. This often-misunderstood disease can cause so many symptoms almost anywhere in/on your body, since the bacteria (spirochetes) are cork-screw shaped and can "get" through any cell wall in your body. My husband has been ill with Lyme for at least 3 years (that we know of) and he has had many of your symptoms. Good luck finding a Lyme-literate doctor. Most doctors still think that a 2 or 3 week course of antibiotics "cure" Lyme, but if you've had it for awhile, it may take a year or more. The testing for Lyme is quite inaccurate, with over 60% false-negatives. I don't want to scare you, but do some research maybe not just the regular clinic sites, but dig deeper. Also, contrary to what experts say, Lyme can and has been found in every state and overseas.

I had my second neck surgery last July. I had a herniated disc, and a bone spur pushing on my spinal cord, narrowing the nerve hole. The first one I had in 1993 was a piece of cake. I had no problems at all. I was 42 at the time. This time, I was 57. I have had pain ever since. My throat feels like a golf ball with spines on it. I can manage that with nerve medications, but now I have horrid headaches and inner ear pain. My regular doctor was unavailable, and I had to go to urgent care. The doctor said she thinks it is my neck. I have a plate with screws in it. I have to wait to go to my doctor and have another X-ray. This last surgery was quite a bit more involved than the first, and when they go through the front with the incision, they move all your things in there with a retractor than can cause nerve damage. At least I don't pass out when I move my head back or forward anymore.

I had an injury in August while using an electric hedge-trimmer. It started as inflammation in my right forearm and then proceeded up my arm, onto my shoulder, up my neck to the base of my head. My PCP gave me muscle relaxers and naproxen. I also had an EMG and nerve conduction test done as my right forearm was constantly tingling. After trying physical therapy, which made it worse, and other conservative measures, I finally had an MRI that diagnosed a herniated cervical disc at my C6-C7 vertebrae. My neck and shoulder are in constant, excruciating pain which gets worse after working for a few days and when I turn in different positions. Some days I wake up and the entire right side of my body is numb. I bought a new memory foam mattress and have tried 4 different types of pillows. I am finally getting my 1st Epidural Steroid Injection next month. Hoping for relief! Until then, I get by on muscle relaxers, Valium and Percocet. Wondering if anyone has had success with injections. I'm having a few of them over a 6 week period.
Comment from: texas, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: January 22
A year ago, I sustained an injury resulting in a C6 bulging disk. I was treated with an injection which only helped to relieve the pain very little. In the meantime, I developed severe headaches along with increasing pain in my neck spreading throughout my shoulders and arms. I have had two MRI's performed, one for the disk in the beginning, and then later for the shoulder pain. I'm in therapy for a second time for the shoulder. The center of the pain is my neck which radiates down the middle of my back and throughout my shoulder. The doctor has diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia, but I'm somewhat skeptical. I have been on pain medication for a year now with little or no relief at all. It makes me wonder how it seems like just over night almost, you suddenly develop all these symptoms and no one can actually fix it.

Skip to comments.Anti-Coal Folks Get Their Say (Enviros want to get rid of coal completely)
Posted on 06/02/2011 10:50:25 AM PDT by CedarDave
SANTA FE The Environmental Improvement Board asked for testimony about the best way to cost-effectively reduce haze caused by power plants, but many of the people EIB heard from Wednesday wanted to talk about eliminating coal as a fuel and switching to renewable energy.
"Coal is a moral issue, said Marlene Perroti of the Sisters of Mercy. Because of its environmental, health and climate effects, use of coal violates religious values of justice, stewardship and respect for life, she said.
The haze that the federal Environmental Protection Agency is requiring states to address is a superficial indicator of bigger, coal-related damage, said Joan Brown of the Franciscan order and New Mexico Interfaith Power and Light.
(Excerpt) Read more at abqjournal.com ...
Differences between former Richardson administration plans and Martinez administration:
$900 million solution favored by EPA and previous admin would improve visibility by an estimated 13 percent with a cost of additional $85 per year to customers. New admin proposal to cost $77 million with estimated 2.5 percent visibility increase to increase rates by $11 per year. Previous pollution controls improved visibility by 54 since 2009.
[... use of coal violates religious values of justice, stewardship and respect for life,...]
That quote confirms environmentalism is mother earth worship.
Let's use the separation clause to eliminate the EPA.
I call BS on any liberal talking about liberal issues as "a moral issue".
We've been told that you can't legislate morality. And we've been told that we can't talk about morality in issues such as abortion and homosexual marriage.
But on a liberal cause such as global warming/enviro-extremism, now all of a sudden, we CAN talk about as a moral issue???????
Al Gore said that global warming is a moral issue, too. He said it's not a legislative issue or a monetary issue, it's a moral issue. Well, I guess we're supposed to shut down debate if a liberal declares something is a moral issue.
The same liberals who have lectured us that morality has no place in discussing other issues, now want to preach about morality related to global warming.
Amazing. I never know what the liberal criteria for evaluating the issues of the day are.

Well, Al Gore DID say that "the debate's over."
How I miss those old-fashioned, black-robed nuns who used to hit kids on the knuckles with their rulers. I'll bet this nun doesn't even have a ruler.
Evil people.
What they really want is Peter Singers version of a planet with very few humans.
They won't say that, but they offer up choices that are not feasible then ask us to pick which one.
These people want to completely kill coal because they want us to all live in mud huts. They know there is a 500 year supply of coal, and that undermines their long term goal of killing human progress.
Now THOSE were Nuns!
(in memory of the dear departed Mary Wickes)
that's what we learned from our long history with smog control in Pittsburgh, getting rid of that last 5% costs you more than the whole previous 95% combined
Gramsci would be proud...
What they really hate is energy of any kind, because energy = people.
Abolish all sources of energy, and the population of the world will plummet catastrophically.
Which is the real goal.
With more than half our electricity coming from coal plants ending the use of coal would mean a lot of unemployed people freezing or sweltering in darkened homes.
More to the point, that quote highlights the extent of the corruption of our religious institutions by the Machiavellian / Gramscian 'long march through the institutions'.
So they will power their cramped, clown car electric WeenieMobiles with tofu pellets and wheat germ husks then?
They are death-worshipping monsters. All of them.
Religious values? Yep, just the other day I read the 10 commandments and there was a new one added: Thou shalt not use coal!
Dimwits are all as crazy as a sh** house mouse. What do they think we are going to replace the 48% of the power that coal powered plants generate in the USA with?
Coal is from the devil! The devil!
(whack! whack!)
Oh, sure, like reality has any place in this discussion.
< /Watermelon Greens>
Yes: It was great when Nuns gave their lives to the Church, Prayed, ran schools, Hospitals ,homes for unwed mothers, and did things more suited to the Christian lifestyle they chose.
The Church really misses these dedicated women, but if these Dykes who call themselves nuns want to be political they should get out of the Convent, and become the busybodies they are.
I thought this "board" which was appointed by richardson could be eliminated or at least replaced by the new Governor Martinez??????
I presume it has all new members — IIRC all but one were asked to resign. The EPA proposal supported by the Richardson administration was the more costly one (of course!). This one is less costly but NM will have to fight EPA to get it approved. They can't do nothing, so this is the lessor of the evils and supported by the power industry (again, for obvious reasons).
. Sounds like this woman is a Catholic nun. Shouldn't she be teaching somewhere.
Lets all face it, it will take 50 years to get up to the level energy that coal provides.
We could all go back to the dark ages.
*Coal is a moral issue, said Marlene Perroti of the Sisters of Mercy* Im hoping shes from the band and not the Catholic church.
Going along with the Climate Alarmists lies is a moral issue.
Destroying the economy for a scam is a moral issue.
Plunging us back into the dark ages based on a hoax is a moral issue.
Allowing the government to go from a free republic to a totalitarian dictatorship that regulates every movement that you make is a moral issue.
Being on the side of these blatant liars violates religious values of justice, stewardship and respect for life.
Marlene should read the Bible more and stop reading pseudo-science malarkey.
No. She should NOT be teaching.
She's already doing enough damage.
The new mantra of the Watermelons
I don't pretend to be a metallurgist, but isn't coal necessary for the production of steel?
King Coal isn't just for the production of electricity, what do they plan to use for construction, automobile and appliance manufacture, knife, gun, utensil manufacture, etc?
The nun has you hook - line - and - sinker I see...
Indeed coal in the form of coke is used.
But oil is even more critical to modern life as it is the main ingredient in chemicals, plastics, synthetics, pharmaceuticals, etc.
And the best thing about coal is that it can be liquefied and act as a substitute for oil.
Someone should tell "Sister" that if God didn't want us to burn coal, he wouldn't have made it such an economical, high energy fuel, then made it so plentiful.
These "environMENTALists" believe in neither God Nor Gaia, even if they are part of a religious order.
Yes, I was trying to make a joke about the her, it was bad I admit.
I agree about nuclear power. We need more of it.
I disagree about coal being poison. Poison is everywhere in minute quantities. Burning coal does nothing to change that, with the exception of redistribution. If it were that poison, coal power station workers would be dropping like flies from arsenic, thorium, mercury, and other types of poisoning. This is because this is the place where it is combusted and they are exposed more than any others. I have worked in coal plants for 15 years. I have never heard of people getting sick from these substances. As a matter of fact, these substances are so minute, a normal coal sample chemical analysis doesn't even detect them. You literally have to burn tons of the stuff to get an amount that is still minute. Add in dispersion back into the environment and it is insignificant. I'd worry more about poisoning from the asphalt shingles on the roof, and I don't worry about that either.

So you're thinking about launching your startup dream, but the economy has you thinking now's not the most prosperous time. But with all things considered, the reality is that cloud computing has made it more possible than ever for startups to thrive even in difficult economic climates.
Cloud computing costs mosts businesses, on average, $46,636.80. Sound like a lot? Compare that to the cost of operating a traditional data center: about $120,000. That leaves you with about $75,000 in capital you can invest in other critical business operations to help ensure the success of your endeavor in both the short and long term. And to that end, the nature of traditional data centers creates wasted resources, but cloud data storage can be scaled up or down, practically automatically, so you're never spending assets or utilizing resources you don't need.
The cost savings from this aspect alone is incredible, let alone the overhead costs drastically reduced by the cloud model, such as on-site data storage, maintenance and electricity.
Get more details about how the cloud could make it possible for you to launch your dreams in today's economic climate – check out the infographic below!

The VR2940's menus are relatively simple, and after setting up the device and scanning for available channels, we were recording within a matter of minutes. You can set up timed recordings, but there's no onscreen programming guide or even VCR Plus, so don't cancel that TV Guide subscription just yet. There's also no IR blaster for controlling your cable box, so you'll have to make sure your tuner is set to the right channel before setting up recordings. The lack of VCR Plus functionality--a given for even the cheapest VHS decks--is a glaring omission.
We loved the VR2940's new YesDVD feature, which analyzes the video during DVD recordings, picks chapter stops at natural scene changes, and creates a menu complete with thumbnails for the chapters. In our tests, we found the chapter stops a bit random--the player added a stop every three or four minutes, sometimes in the middle of a scene. Still, the chapter thumbnails made for easy navigation (we got 48 chapters for our 105-minute movie, with nine thumbnails per page), and we appreciated having this time-consuming chore done automatically. YesDVD also creates three "music videos" for your new DVD--essentially three short montages of whatever you recorded, accompanied by cheesy rock, jazz, and classical music tracks. The videos are fine for comic relief but not much else.
The GoVideo's recording quality was a mixed bag. In our VHS-to-DVD test, the recording of a dusty, 12-year-old tape looked rock solid--much of the video noise was cleaned up, and even the lightly damaged portions of the tape appeared only as brief flecks of static. (GoVideo credits the clean recordings to its DominoFX video-processing technology.) Colors, however, appeared slightly washed out compared to those in the original, and the whole program looked a bit too bright, even during night scenes. While we were bummed by the so-so color reproduction, the video quality as a whole looked much cleaner; in the end, we felt it was a fair trade-off, especially if you're archiving aging VHS tapes. (Keep in mind that the VR2940 won't record copy-protected VHS tapes or DVDs.)
The recorder's color reproduction fared better with line-in-to-DVD recordings, although the resolution was limited by the low-quality composite-video input. In our test-pattern recordings, the VR2940 captured almost 460 lines of resolution in its one-hour HQ mode, which is about the same resolution that standalone DVD players can muster. The recorder's two-hour SP resolution grabbed between 450 and 460 lines of resolution--still very good, although we noticed some MPEG blockiness in the background and around the edges of the test patterns. The GoVideo's resolution plummeted to about 250 lines in the four-hour EP mode, and big, blocky MPEG artifacts marred our six-hour SLP recordings. Colors looked OK in our test recordings of Star Trek: Insurrection, although we noticed some blocky artifacts in the dark, smoky interior of the damaged Enterprise bridge, even while recording in HQ mode.
Playback on the progressive-scan VR2940 was quite good. The VR2940's 2:3 pull-down detection passed our tricky Insurrection test with flying colors, cleaning up the difficult haystacks and the jaggy-prone bridges.
In all, the VR2940's unique YesDVD feature sets it apart from the DVD-R/VHS competition, which includes models such as the Panasonic DMR-E75VS and the Toshiba D-VR3. As long as you use it mainly for copying VHS tapes, as opposed to recording TV or external video sources, the VR2940 is a good performer and a very good value.

George Michael says he was the 'poster boy for cannabis' and deserved to be jailed
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.

Oh! Please, George can't you get your head round this drug addiction , besides you can get yourself a chauffeur, please don't keep putting gay guyz in a bad light in the media, 'they' think we all take drugs. Think about the poor kids coming out as Gay and contemplating suicide because their parents cannot come to terms with their siblings sexuality. I was born in the age of the Law condemning us for being Gay and being imprisoned, much has changed since, but our fight for Equality goes on, My daughter adores you, having been to Manchester City Ground twice to see you, why!, oh!, why!, can u not accept that your performances break ground in people accepting you for a masterful performer in your own right and yes I love you too!!!!
…@ Peter… i think the problem is with parents more that siblings. My siblings are mostly ok with my Queerness bar one, and he tends to adhere to the pixie in the sky fanatsy as did my mother who definitely wasn't ok with it. so i think your thesis that it's sibling unacceptance causing the problems. More like the parents dismay at their offsprings condition is the problem i'd say.
….oops…that it's siblings causing problems * is wrong.
Next time someone tells me cannabis doesn't cause addiction or car accidents, I'm going to kindly refer them to this article.
See I think about this in a different way. I dont see why the fact that George Michael is a little ponce who cant understand that smoking weed and driving is a bad idea, should stop me from legally buying weed if I wanted too.
Loads of people have done it, a minority get f'ed up on it, as with all other fun things (alcohol, gambling, extreme sports) but the majority dont.
Its about time the law stopped working in the interest of the stupidest amongst us.
… stopped working in the interest of the Vintners Assoc. i'd say.
Perhaps Cyprus could (re)claim him as their own and take him away from us, he's a nuisance and embodies most of what I hate about the gay community at large – drug-taking, promiscuous (openly and unashamedly) and socially irresponsible. Add being a criminal to it and…well, the perfect role model!
Scott – these drug laws are there for a reason. Whether they deter people or not from taking them in the way they should is debatable. But it's not in the interest of the general public to have people running around on pot – alcohol is bad enough.
I couldnt disagree more. You get daily mail and telegraph readers to try some weed, this country would become 100% better over night.
Plus – imagine on friday and saturday night instead of people poisoning their livers with alcohol and then attacking each other, they got high. No violence, no hate, universal happiness.
The only people you would see on the road would be takeaway delivery drivers.
George Michael is a complete noob for smoking it and driving, and deserves to be punished for that.
well I love George, and wish him all the best
I really like him
Hes honest and articulate.
He has said in the past that thr Press have a vendetta against him and they clearly do.
there must be ENORMOUS amounts of Press and Media employees with drug habits FAR worse than Georges who sit their scoffing at him.
The one thing George has never been is a hypocrite – and I admire that.
Full marks for trying to kick the habit though – horrible stuff
He was on the wright stuff today. It was a phone in after the papers said he had broke up with his partner.
He swore ^^ haha was great.
I think he's a prat for drug driving and I think he's sorry.
I hope that George is dealing with the underlying problems that saw him take refuge in drugs , drugs are the symptom of deeper problems which undoubtedly are many when so universally famous with the pressures that FAME brings , I wish him well and thank him for all the fabulous music over the years , we should be proud and supportive of this GREAT GAY MAN, he has problems , don't we all ?
If used responsiblt marijuana is no worse than alcohol.
Drug driving is completely unacceptable however.
….Marijuana would have been made legal long ago but for the Vintners Lobby… now theres a surprise.
I don't think it was weed alone that caused Georges driving prroblem however…..
George is, as always, utterly honest and refuses to B/S. I admire his candour and often brutal appraissal of himself.Its easy to focus on his addiction to the detrement of everything else he has achieved.None of us is perfect, being human in an inhuman wold can be bloody challenging at times.Good luck George.

I am using jQuery blockUI 2.47 (28-SEP-2012) in many of my project, to display full-page overlay with some animation, on every page unload. This code hasn't been changed for past few months, but for past few weeks I started to notice, that in certain situations, on Chrome 33.0.1750.146 (others seems to be unaffected), I don't see that opacity overlay at all.
It happens only on Chrome (haven't noticed it in other browsers yet) and in certain situations only -- for example only on login screen (others are fine).
I know, that this is hard to belive, so here you have some screenshots, that proves this.
a) a typical page, where Chrome displays full-page overlay without any problems and as previously:
b) a login screen, from the very same webpage, where Chrome stopped displaying overlay (but it was displaying it for past nearly a year, so it started to happen with some newest update):
c) the same login screen, from the same webpage, as seen under Firefox (overlay displayed):
I'm 99.99% sure (I reserve 0.01% for the unicorns), that this is not developer / code problem!
it happens only on Chrome and only on certain parts of the page,
all situations (all screenshots captured) are handled by the same code (
the code hasn't changed for past nine months or so, though strange things (lacks of full-page overlay) started to happen about a month ago or so.
So, I assume, that this is Chrome-specific problem and may have to be somehow related to Chrome's rendering engine.
It -- of course -- happens on any copy of Chrome, that I use -- home, office etc. So, I don't think, that full, clean reinstall Chrome would do anything (though I haven't tried this).
Can anyone verify this or heard about similar strange thing?
Side note: This is another strange change (after this one), that happens to me, when using Chrome or other Google products (Gmail). No one else can confirm this, but I have a screenshots, that proves, that I'm not lunatic. I really begin to think, that developers at Google started to screw thing after thing, and that this might be a good moment to say bye, bye!

The Heroes that Were Pigeons
Members of the Brotogeris family are smart, curious, energetic and loved for their innate playfulness. These personality traits make them excellent pets. Handfed babies, in particular, have very sweet personalities. It is easiest to gain their trust and affection if introduced into the family as hand-fed and properly socially babies; however, with a little time and patience, "second-hand" birds can in most cases also be turned into loving and treasured pets.
The most well-known and popular Brotogeris member is the Grey-cheek Parakeet - however, this species is not reproducing well in captivity and is increasingly difficult to find. Therefore, many take a look at the other brotogeris species as they share many of the same personality traits.
Both males and females look alike - so if owners want to know the gender of their pet, DNA or surgical sexing is recommended.
They should be provided a varied diet that includes any of the below:
- Dr. Harvey's Bird Food Mixes or Lafeber are convenient options that lack many of the harmful additives that are commonly found in commercial mixes and have a great variety of quality ingredients (including dried fruits, veggies, herbs / greens and even superfoods, such as bee pollen!) - in short: myriad nourishing ingredients that are not found in other commercially available bird mixes, However, our biggest grievance with their products is that they use sulphurated dried produce (a process which also requires chemicals), but it is very difficult to find mixes with unsulphurated fruits and veggies. You could just buy the seeds, nuts and grain mix and buy human-grade unsulphurated dried produce / greens as well as bee pollen and mix them in. Even organic trail mixes (WITHOUT CHOCOLATE!) work great. With a little creativity you can put a mix together that offers superior nutrition without the chemicals typically found in commercial brands.
- Sprouted Seeds: sprouted sunflower; sprouted millet spray. Sprouted or germinated seeds are usually more easily accepted by "seed addicts" than fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Sprouted seeds are healthier as the sprouting changes and enhances the nutritional quality and value of seeds and grains. Sprouted seeds are lower in fat, as the process of sprouting utilizes the fat in the seed to start the growing process - thus reducing the fat stored in the seeds.
- Sprouted seeds will help balance your bird's diet by adding a nutritious supply of high in vegetable proteins, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and chlorophyll.
- Soaked and germinated "oil" seeds, like niger and rape seeds, are rich in protein and carbohydrates; while "starch" seeds, such as canary and millets, are rich in carbohydrates, but lower in protein.
- It is an invaluable food at all times; however, it is especially important for breeding or molting birds. Sprouted seeds also serve as a great rearing and weaning food as the softened shell is easier to break by chicks and gets them used to the texture of seeds.
- Fresh fruit (such as bananas, berries, figs, rose hips)
- Edible flowers
- Nectar: Lory food; porridge of oat flakes; or wheatgerm and honey
- Vegetables (one favorite is half-ripe corn)
- Green foods / plant material, such as dandelion, clover, chickweed, rowanberries, etc.. In the wild, they like to chew rotten stumps and search for larvae
- Branches with buds and flowers
- Animal protein (such as dried shrimp)
- Vitamin and mineral supplements (especially important if nutritional variety and quality hasn't been maintained)
Feeding your pet bird for good health and longevity
These parakeets are messy eaters and scatter any soft food over their cages (as is typical of most parrots). Carefully planning the set up will facilitate the daily clean-up.
Broto, Pocket Parrot, BeeBee Parrot, Tovi Parakeet - these are but a few of the names given to the charming family of birds otherwise known as Brotogeris Parakeets or Brotos for short.
Brotogeris parakeets make excellent companion birds. They are intelligent and curious, playful and clownish, affectionate and charming. Smaller than a Cockatiel, they are about 7-9" from head to tail, with predominantly green feathers. Depending on the species, they also have varying markings of yellow, white, blue, orange, and grey on their wings and head.
The most commonly recognized member of the Brotogeris genus are the Grey-cheeked parakeets. Grey-cheeked parakeets have been the most common of the Broto species kept as pets. They were imported by the thousands until the late 1980's. Because they were so plentiful and inexpensive, very few were set up to breed. As serious Broto breeders have discovered in the past 5-10 years, Grey-cheeks are inconsistent and problematic breeders, and very few young are being produced - not nearly enough to replace the older imported birds who are now dying at an increasing rate. Sadly, owners who were devoted to their now-deceased Grey-cheeks are finding it difficult, if not impossible, to find another one.
Many of these former grey-cheek owners are now discovering the similarly charming and intelligent Canary-winged parakeet, another of the Brotogeris species. Canary-winged parakeets are similar in size to grey-cheeks, and share the same endearing qualities. Their feathers are a lighter and brighter lime green, with yellow wing feathers as their species-specific identifier. Another unique identifier Canary-wings possess are big, bright eyes. Canary-winged parakeets make wonderful pets, and some think that many individuals are better talkers and have a more analytical aspect to their intelligence than the Grey-cheeks.
At Shady Pines Aviary we have had great success breeding Canary-winged parakeets, and many are available each spring.
Other Brotogeris species whose numbers are now slowly increasing, but who are not yet plentiful in American aviculture, are the orange-chinned parakeet, white-winged parakeet, golden-winged parakeet, and cobalt-winged parakeet. We are fortunate to have bred each of these species in 2005. The remaining two Brotogeris species, the Tui parakeet and the plain parakeet, are practically non-existent in this country.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Wake Forest has given coach Dino Gaudio a contract extension through the 2013-14 season.
School officials said Wednesday in conjunction with the team's preseason media day that Gaudio's deal was extended two more seasons. Details of the contract were not available because the private school generally does not discuss them.
Gaudio has gone 41-20 with one week at No. 1 nationally and one berth in the NCAA tournament.
The longtime assistant to Skip Prosser was hired in August 2007, two weeks after his mentor died of an apparent heart attack.

My permalink URL is too long. It links to the blog date/timestamp and the post title. How do I get it to link to the timestamp only?
Change the permalink structure as you desire in the Permalinks options page, and update your .htaccess with the new rules.
I have a question: do you imply that there is a more recent version of Word Press that takes care of the problem described in http://wordpress.org/support/4/7422 and earlier on in http://wordpress.org/support/3/7299 ? Because on my blog, comments don't work as you can see here: http://www.dutch-double.net/wordpress/index.php And I made sure it was nothing with e.g. skinning by creating http://www.dutch-double.net/wordpress2/index.php with nothing changed to templates and the like. It works as long as I use the timestamps in combination with either the title slug or the ID, but NOT with timestamps only !
Thank you in advance for a reply, Morgaine
The nightlies fix most of those problems. However, trackback permalinks are only generated for structures that contain %post_id% or %postname%. I'll look into fixing that. I need to double check that the comment link now works for timestamp structures. If you try a nightly build and still have comment link problems, open a bug and I'll get to it.
All issues should now be fixed. See bug 0000194. Try out the next nightly. If you notice any more problems, add a comment to the bug.

- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Adequately providing for the health care of the growing minority population in the United States requires increased racial and ethnic diversity of the health care workforce. Long-term diversity in the dental profession depends on a more diverse student population in dental schools. The University of Nevada, Las Vegas School of Dental Medicine's (UNLV SDM) Dental Prospects Club is a predental education program that has increased the number of underrepresented minority and disadvantaged students in the school by concentrating on outreach, recruitment, and retention initiatives. The approaches used by the club members and faculty advisors to increase the number of underrepresented minority students recruited to and enrolled in the UNLV SDM are discussed in this report. Also described are the strategies, methods, internal infrastructure, and organizational support used to increase the number of underrepresented minority students at the school.

Article: The declining number of practicing African American dentists in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, 1970 through 2010[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The authors tracked the declining number of practicing African American dentists and its relationship to the migratory patterns of the black community in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, from Jan. 1, 1970, through Dec. 31, 2010. The authors conducted a longitudinal study in which they used the Geographic Information System (Environmental Systems Research Institute, Redlands, Calif.) to plot the location of each black-owned dental practice in Cuyahoga County in conjunction with the black population. They calculated the ages of the dentists by using birth dates posted on the Ohio State Dental Board's Web site and divided the dentists into five age groups. The study results showed that dental practice distributions followed the migratory pattern of the black population from Cleveland to the surrounding suburbs. The number of black dentists in practice decreased from 1986 through 2010 in the Cleveland metropolitan area (Cuyahoga County), and 46.3 percent of the black dentists were projected to retire by 2020. These results underscore the need to increase the number of black dentists in Cuyahoga County and nationwide. On the basis of the demographic data they found, the authors expect the number of black dentists to continue to decrease if no intervening circumstances occur. Practice Implications. There were 48.8 percent fewer black dentists in Cuyahoga County in 2010 than there were in 1985. If this pattern continued until 2020, there could be a critical shortage of black dentists in Cuyahoga County.

Re: Children of the Crackers, & Re: Gross Negligence
Charles, I find myself saying the same thing whenever I read about gay kids being raised by Christian fundamentalist parents who want to send them to conversion therapy and so on. This really is one of the saddest things about the worldthat children, for no reason except the bad luck of their birth circumstances, get stuck in families that destroy them.
This story is hardly funny. Those girls are being abused by their Nazi parents, and it's grossly negligent of the state not to protect them from such evident evil and danger.
Of course, the state won't step in to help these girls, just like it won't step in to help gay boys and girls who are being abused by their retrograde parents. For all kinds of reasons that sound good in theory, it's all parents' right to fuck up their kids in despicable ways. The only solace is that it's these kids' right (and perhaps duty) to then grow up and do something that totally shames their parents. I predict that in ten years, if anyone is following the plight of these girls anymore, they will be popping out mixed-race babies and writing tell-all memoirs about "My Life As a Racist's Daughter."
