An interesting Dutch-style building. This was some type of marketplace or meeting hall, and there was a small restaurant and wine bar at the end of the building to the right. There is a house or other building next door, to the right, that had a lovely garden too. I know that the location for this picture is not exactly correct. I can't remember which road it was on and how far outside of Mooi River it was.
Thank you for the position update.

Editor's note: This article is an invited commentary in which the author reflects on content published in the inaugural issue of the journal in 1985 and comments on advances in this area during the past 25 years. The inaugural issue can be accessed online at www.thoracicimaging.com or by clicking on the following link: http://journals.lww.com/thoracicimaging/toc/1985/12000.
When the first edition of the Journal of Thoracic Imaging was published in 1985, the radiology department was a very different kind of place from what it is today. It is remarkable to reflect on the evolution that has taken place so rapidly and completely, to the point where residents completing a radiology training program in 2009 may never have hung a film on a light box! The digital revolution has had a huge impact in just about every area of our existence, though surely none more than in the radiology department.
In the radiology department of the 1980s, films were still exposed in cassettes containing fluorescent screens, or automatically transported from a dedicated chest unit to a chemical processor, to emerge fixed and dried after 90 seconds. It was a world of multiple color-coded film jackets, film bins, and grease pencils, where the film file room was the hub of the department. Batches of films were loaded on massive motorized film viewers ("multiviewers") for reading throughout the day. "Hot lights" were placed strategically at every alternator to allow viewing of over exposed films. Entire teams of clinicians would descend on the radiology department each day to review their cases with the radiologists (there was only one set of films). These frequent encounters with visiting clinicians were arguably one of the few advantages of analog imaging, though in fact, many of these interruptions were redundant or inefficient.
Inevitably, it was a system that became increasingly difficult to manage as the volume of procedures and the number of images per examination increased, together with the demands of multiple clinical services to have access to the same set of films. The more interesting the case and the more clinical services involved, the more likely it was that the films would be lost (when the filmless radiology department of the future was promised as a solution, a frustrated clinician caustically remarked that, in the case of his patients, we seemed to be already virtually "filmless"). As it happened, digital imaging arrived on the scene at a very opportune time. In fact, the promise of instant availability of any patient's images throughout the hospital was so irresistible that expectations became grossly inflated for a time, and frustration often followed. It was a standing joke for many years that a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) was "always 5 years away" and then "always 2 years away" and so on, until it eventually became a reality.
One tends to forget the magnitude of the obstacles that existed. As recently as 1994, when the University of Chicago was planning a PACS for a new outpatient facility, one of the major concerns was the cost of digital storage systems. Large robotic tape and optical disc archives were available. However, the lowest available cost was determined to be $1000 per gigabyte. Today, an external hard drive with one terabyte (1000 gigabytes) is available for less than $100 (10c per gigabyte). Workstations were also extremely expensive and bulky, consisting of arrays of massive cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors. A major manufacturer showing a prototype 4-monitor display at a meeting of the Radiological Society of North America in the early 1990s mentioned a tentative price point of $100,000 (for 1 workstation!).
In the case of chest radiography, there was a special challenge because of the large and detailed nature of the image, and the wide range of gray scale required. Cathode CRT monitors were not up to the task of displaying chest radiographs with sufficient fidelity for rapid and accurate diagnosis.1,2 As a result, PACS was invariably implemented in stages. Softcopy reading was often used first in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting so that clinicians could enjoy the benefits of rapid availability of images at the point of care, whereas primary interpretation would be performed by radiologists using digital hardcopy mounted on a light box in the traditional way. In this way, many of the benefits of digital imaging were realized in terms of consistent image quality and the ability to reprint additional copies of images when needed. In contrast, use of film mandated batch reading with labor-intensive hanging and filing of films. In the case of bedside chest radiography in the ICUs, where the patients would often have multiple radiographs in one day, the films were usually maintained on dedicated multiviewers, with new films added and previous comparative films removed throughout the day as additional images were acquired.
As comparison with previous images is essential in chest radiography, often with radiographs from several years earlier, there was a considerable period during which conventional screen-film radiographs were hung side-by-side for comparison with smaller digital hardcopy images. The hardcopy format that was initially employed was pioneered with the first commercial photostimulable phosphor radiography system in the United States in 1983, and employed a 50% scale image, with "conventional" and "processed" versions displayed side-by-side. The "processed" images had a wide effective latitude and relatively aggressive unsharp mask filtering to accentuate edges and lung details. This degree of miniaturization represented a compromise, and over time a larger single image hardcopy format approximating to 66% scale became established.3
During this transition period, there was much interest in film scanning as a way to achieve many of the benefits of digital imaging at a reasonable cost.4 At the University of Chicago, there was a period in the early nineties when all ICU portable chest radiographs were routinely scanned, and optimized by a "home-grown" image processing system, which applied automatic density and contrast correction with sharpening. Although conceived as a way to provide cost-effective 50% scale duplicates to the ICU clinicians, the results were so superior to the originals that the digital duplicates were soon used for primary interpretation, and the originals were filed and never viewed.5
In the mid and late eighties, numerous scientific papers were published that addressed the issues of image quality and diagnostic accuracy in digital chest radiography.6,7 Although the practical advantages of digital systems were obvious, there was concern that the lower spatial resolution that was available at that time might not be adequate for some clinical applications. Observer tests were performed, and comparisons were made using various pixel size displays and different display media. Hardcopy was compared with softcopy, and conventional gray scale was compared with reversed gray scale.8 Progressive improvements in softcopy displays and reductions in their cost eventually made the elimination of hardcopy a practical option. However, few of us realized at the time how long it would actually be before film would disappear from our reading rooms forever. Some departments were more aggressive than others in making the transition, and it is difficult to pinpoint the time at which the majority of departments in the United States had made the switch, but as recently as 2003, the chest reading area at the University of Chicago, one of the pioneer departments in digital imaging research, still used digital hardcopy for primary interpretation of chest radiographs. The rapidly falling cost of digital storage media and digital workstations actually provided an incentive to procrastinate in this regard.
When softcopy reading was first implemented, the concept of manipulating the image during interpretation was new. It quickly became clear that the ability to extend the effective dynamic range by altering the window width and levels during interpretation was a great advantage, whereas the ability to magnify selected areas of the image was less useful, though still valuable in selected cases and for teaching.
Although most of the focus was appropriately on the practical operational advantages of digital imaging during this time, the additional diagnostic potential was recognized at an early stage. For instance, scientific papers on computer-aided diagnosis for detection of lung nodules started to appear as early as the late 1980s, and the potential of dual energy imaging was also investigated.9–11 Dual energy did not become available commercially in the United States until 1996, at which time primary interpretation was still limited to hardcopy. Therefore, routine use of dual energy required printing additional images on film, or viewing the softcopy and bone images in selected cases on a CRT monitor using a separate application. For those of us who were already using energy subtraction routinely, the implementation of softcopy reading with the ability to flip electronically through a stack of standard, soft tissue and bone images by merely scrolling the mouse wheel was a big step forward. Computer-aided detection, in contrast, is only now starting to be used clinically for chest radiography. It is interesting to note how many years it has taken for these techniques to start to impact the mainstream of clinical work.
Digital detector systems have also continued to evolve. During the mid-1990s, a unique selenium drum scanning system was introduced for chest radiography, with the promise of greater detection efficiency and higher image quality than was currently available with photostimulable phosphors.12 Shortly afterward, solid-state flat panel detector systems appeared on the market, though they were not adaptable to bedside imaging at that time.13 At the present time, both flat panel detectors and newer generation phosphor detectors compete in the market place, with the phosphor plates remaining dominant in bedside imaging, though solid state detectors have recently been adapted to bedside applications.
In recent years, several investigators have addressed the potential of dose reduction in digital chest radiography, and particularly in younger patients, this has been a real benefit of digital systems.14,15 The ability to use a different effective "speed" on posteroanterior and lateral views with digital systems, with assignment of a proportionately greater dose to the posteroanterior projection, also provides opportunities for dose reduction, particularly in dual energy radiography.
At the time of the original issue of the Journal of Thoracic Imaging in 1985, digital chest radiography was a relatively new and exciting modality. In the journal and elsewhere, there was no argument that digital imaging represented the future, though it was obviously not yet mature in many ways. An extensive review of digital radiography in that first edition provided an excellent introduction to the subject, with an explanation of basic concepts such as pixels, gray scale, and unsharp mask processing.16 Two articles in that same volume emphasized the virtues of selected screen-film applications (equalization radiography and screen-film tomography) over more "complex and expensive techniques such as digital radiography," and indeed, at that time, the logic was unassailable.17,18 Nonetheless, the days of screen-film imaging were already numbered, and analog chest radiography was soon to be laid to rest, having served us well for almost exactly a hundred years.
Now, as digital radiography has become established, we tend to take for granted the great increase in efficiency that has been achieved. Turnaround time from acquisition to final interpretation, which was once measured in days, now commonly occurs in a matter of minutes. Productivity, which was temporarily reduced with the initial transition to first-generation PACS, is far superior to what was achievable with film. Our ability to extract diagnostic information from the chest radiograph, by use of image manipulation, energy subtraction and potentially computer-aided diagnosis, is greater than ever. The promise of the fully digital radiology department has finally been realized, and for those of us who have lived through the transition, it has been truly revolutionary.

Bill Murray Dance Party goes mobile, even without Bill Murray
Bill Murray's appearance may have been a hoax, but any excuse for a party
Kendra Sundvall
See also: Bill Murray Mobile Dance Party slideshow Bill Murray Mobile Dance Party: Will it feature Bill Murray?
Let's get this out of the way: Bill Murray, object of our love, star of 60-some Hollywood movies and TV series, did not show at Tuesday night's Bill Murray Mobile Dance Party.
Or, if he did, he did not make it known. Who knows, he might've bicycled beside us in disguise, Venkman himself incognito on a bright blue Schwinn Traveler III with handlebar streamers and a hamburger bell. Maybe he had Wayfarers on, despite the late-summer-evening dark. Maybe he smoked a thin cigarette and spouted witty remarks to the cyclists around him. But he was quiet about it. He did not fly into Gold Medal Park on angelic wings amidst a burst of heavenly light, like many hoped and--after a few shots of whiskey--sadly imagined. Bummer, dude. We still love you, Bill Murray. And the party went on anyway.
Notoriously, Tuesday night's party was inspired by a hoax press release from SuperOfficialNews.com that announced Bill Murray's nationwide "Party Crashing Tour," in which Our Man Murray would stop at cities throughout the country and infiltrate parties that welcomed him with a "Bill Murray Can Crash Here" sign. Minneapolis was said to be one of the cities on Murray's itinerary, so, hoax notwithstanding, local party organizers took up the cause, hoping he might show but not believing it. We're the Bike City -- let's have a Billy-inspired bike party anyway.
The ride met Tuesday at 6 p.m., around the Gold Medal Park sign in Mill City and did not depart till after 7:30, when Tipsy Bike (a.k.a., tk, a newcomer to the Minneapolis bike scene) arrived just a little more than "fashionably late" with tunes bumping from his impressive party bike. We cyclists used the unscheduled wait time (the ride was supposed to depart at 6:30 p.m.) to imbibe beverages of an alcoholic sort. There were flasks and coozies aplenty among the Murray velocipedes.
Kendra Sundvall
The Facebook event had promised more than 1,000 attendees, but I'd estimate 300 people actually showed. It was still an impressive sight, especially as the booze coursed through us and everyone began to dance, sometimes with their bikes beneath them in weird top-tube-humping maneuvers.
From Gold Medal Park, the ride progressed to the Stone Arch Bridge and Main. We ate up Main Street like the Cookie Monster eats cookies, then recrossed the river, filling the Hennepin Avenue Bridge from side to side. We pedaled through downtown, then hit the Nomad for dancing and drinks. With a few Prix Fixes in our bellies, we filled the Light Rail Trail and swiveled back to Grumpy's in downtown. Grumpy's is where I left the ride, because by then it had worn me down, tired me out. Not physically so much as ... emotionally. For me at least, the vibe of the Bill Murray ride was off. It felt weird and just a little nasty.
I'm all for huge bike rides. Believe me, I love the No Hater Rolling Dance Party and the Freedom From Pants Ride, similarly epic events. I am not, however, for bike rides that absorb the Critical Mass philosophy wholesale.
The Bill Murray cyclists, most of whom had unfamiliar faces and struck me as newcomers to events like this, seemed to have internalized the idea that biking in Minneapolis means having the right to be an asshole and piss people off. And I don't like that at all. The ride volunteers tried to corral everyone and keep them in line, but you can only do so much.
Kendra Sundvall
Allegedly, four Bill Murray cyclists biked straight into a stopped car. I saw others smearing their hands on autos stopped by bike traffic, while drivers glared back. I saw a frightened carriage horse rear up and nearly attack a few other cyclists. I saw an old man Nice Riding on the Light Rail Trail furiously yelling because the crowd was three-abreast and wouldn't make way for him.
"Fuck 'im," said one dude. "He's not part of our pack."
Minneapolis is better than this. Our cyclists are, too. I was not surprised to hear a few participants were arrested outside of the Gay 90s for, reportedly, blocking the sidewalk and throwing marshmallows. That agreed with everything I'd seen at the ride so far. By then I had abandoned the BMMDP and was happily eating a burger at Grumpy's with my girlfriend, who'd nearly been hit by a few cast-off Bill Murray participants who'd run a red light on Washington. Really, guys? This just proves all the bike haters right. And we've tried for several years to prove them wrong, with positive events, like the All-City Free Ride, that strive to work with traffic instead of against it.
The event still had its bright spots. The Tipsy Bike's setup is out of this world. I loved dancing under an overpass on the Light Rail Trail. I double-plus loved the Steve Zissou costume of cyclist Amelia English, who even painted a fake Bill Murray beard onto her face. Her take on the event was different from mine. "I had so much fun!" she told me, in an interview via email. "I really loved the immediate sense of community I felt--like our mutual love for bikes, beers and Bill of course meant we should all be besties for a night."
I wish I'd felt that way, too.

Iran Nuclear-Program Raid Fears Ease, Conciliation Seen
Iranian and Israeli officials offered what may be conciliatory signs this week, easing concerns of a possible strike on the Persian Gulf country's nuclear installations.
Iran's envoy to Moscow, Mahmoud-Reza Sajjadi, yesterday said officials are considering a Russian proposal to avert sanctions. Israel's top military chief, meanwhile, said Iran's leadership is "rational" and won't seek to build a bomb, in comments reported the same day.
Tensions over the Iranian program helped drive Brent crude prices to about $125 a barrel last month, the highest in more than 3 1/2 years. Prices fell more than 2 percent on the next trading day after Iran and the world powers broke a 15-month stalemate on the nuclear conflict during talks April 14 in Istanbul. Negotiations are set to resume May 23 in Baghdad.
We're seeing "signals of an easing of rhetoric on war, not an easing of pressure or sanctions," said Scott Lucas, a professor at the University of Birmingham in England who founded a website that offers analysis on international affairs.
Odds compiled by Intrade.com that Israel or the U.S. will strike Iran by the end of this year dropped to about 28 percent this week, from 33 percent at the end of March and as high as 62 percent in February.
'Productive Process'
Iran is studying a proposal under which it would halt the expansion of its uranium enrichment work as part of its nuclear program and may allow stricter inspections of its atomic facilities, Sajjadi said in an interview with Bloomberg at the Iranian Embassy in Moscow yesterday.
Speaking today in an interview with the official Islamic Republic News Agency, Sajjadi said the media response to his comments have been "overdone."
"My comments have been overdone in Bloomberg and other media as if I had issued a statement on the willingness to ratify the so-called Additional Protocol," Sajjadi said, referring to an additional measure to safeguard agreements with the International Atomic Energy Agency, which allows more thorough inspections of Iran's nuclear-related sites.
Lucas said it's not clear whether Sajjadi was "speaking with the backup from the top" in yesterday's interview. It is yet to be seen whether this constitutes "a productive process leading to the Baghdad talks," he said.
Nuclear Right
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland dismissed Sajjadi's remarks, saying he is "not a central player" in international talks over Iran's nuclear program. "What's most important is what Iran says and does at the negotiating table," she told reporters yesterday in Washington.
Sajjadi also said yesterday that his country will ensure it maintains its right to produce nuclear energy. Iran has long maintained that as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty it can enrich uranium on its soil.
While Iran says it needs the material for use as fuel in its Bushehr nuclear power plant and for a Tehran medical-research reactor, the U.S. and EU accuse it of seeking to divert its use toward building nuclear weapons. Uranium enriched at higher degrees can form the core of a bomb.
In comments that preceded those of Sajjadi yesterday, Israel's army Chief of General Staff Benny Gantz said in an interview with the Haaretz newspaper that a decision by Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to build a bomb would be "an enormous mistake, and I don't think he will want to go the extra mile."
'Very Rational People'
"I think the Iranian leadership is composed of very rational people," Gantz said.
Gantz's comments contrast sharply with the views of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, IHS Jane's Middle East analyst David Hartwell wrote in a note today.
"Gantz's unusually blunt intervention appears designed to quell the international hysteria that often accompanies the debate about Iran and military action," Hartwell wrote. "While it appears to have been generally accepted, at least for the time being, that an Israeli attack is not imminent and indeed is very unlikely at all in 2012, Gantz's comments will not reduce the Israeli government's desire to keep the issue -- by whatever means -- near the top of the international diplomatic agenda for the rest of the year."

I am developing a Graph-class, based on boost-graph-library.
A Graph-object contains a boost-graph, so to say an adjacency_list, and a map. When monitoring the total memory usage of my program, it consumes quite a lot (checked with pmap).
Now, I would like to know, how much of the memory is exactly consumed by a filled object of this Graph-class? With filled I mean when the adjacency_list is full of vertices and edges.
I found out, that using sizeof() doesn't bring me far. Using valgrind is also not an alternative as there is quite some memory allocation done previously and this makes the usage of valgrind impractical for this purpose. I'm also not interested in what other parts of the program cost in memory, I want to focus on one single object.
Thank you.

To start with, it is Obama's to own because his OMB Director Jack Lew proposed it. BUT, the Republicans overwhelmingly supported for it and voted for it. Secondly, the formula punishes the military with 50% of all cuts, but EXEMPTS entitlements, which are exploding and are the real causes of out debt and deficit. Thirdly, military pay and most contracts are off limits [and this will include the homosexual human toilets who call themselves "spouses" now]. That means that Operations and Maintenance money takes the brunt of the cuts......the life blood of the military. Sequestration inordinately punishes the loyal military patriots, harms the defense industry, devastates DoD civilians via furloughs, but rewards the takers: Food Stamps, EITC, TANF, Section 8, ObamaCare, you name it......EXEMPT from Sequestration.
I pray for a civil war. I'd rather die fighting than live a slave in a communist, fag-friendly soddom and gomorrha.
If it is any consolation the welfare parasites here in NJ have basically given up police protection in exchange for their food stamps. Any police left are dedicated to protecting the businesses that comprise their miniscule tax base. In the meantime the parasites keep killing each other...forward!
A sick, corrupt, degenerate government. That's what we now have. True evil has overtaken it. All my years, I proudly would have taken a stand, and given my life for my country. Now I wouldn't lift a finger for it. America has become a sick, perverted cesspool.
stop military pensions NOW....or make them not collect until age 60...do something to stop this almighty worship of their pensions that they would do so much evil in its name...
my mother and father have been spit upon with this ruling....both of them WW2 vets...
some who wanted the occupier to win the election just for spite...well, there are no words...
The Pentagon is overseen by civilian leadership such as Secretary of Defense & Secretary of {whatever branch of service. They are the ones who make the policies. Congress has complete authority to overide them though. Why punish the troops for wrongs Obama's people has done?
This is gay sharya. Benefits is bull crap. ANyone divorcing will be accused of heterosexual apostasy and will be severely punished by the statist militants at the PEntagon.
This is absolute disgust and disgrace and dishonor in our military, to make a soldier a personal slave of the commander.
Troops? The new cadre of troops will punish those who do not litteraly suck their cocks.
Indeed, these are ravening moralizing wolves. THey will have to back off and go on their "stupid joking ways". Stick to your guns.
Several years ago, before I retired, we discussed this at a "Top Three Enlisted" meeting. The Chief commented that parents of young children might one day have a homosexual living next door in base housing.
As far as I can tell, this isn't and has never been, about homosexual relationships, or homosexuals' right to associate with whomever they wish in whatever fashion they want.
It's all about the entitlements. They want to take advantage of laws that are meant to protect family inheritances, and use them to bypass estate taxes and so forth when they will their estate to their friends.
With changing the laws to make marriage a legal contract between any two people (or any group of people) instead of a legal mechanism to protect a biological function (the human pair-bonding that exists, biologically, to ensure that children are adequately cared for), the Supreme Court has opened a new avenue for all kinds of abuse. What's to prevent room mates from "marrying" each other so as to get tax benefits, and then "divorcing" when they run into Mr. or Miss Right? Or, heck, they don't even have to be room mates. People can just enter into business relationships without actually living together. We already have marriage fraud; the Supreme Court has just expanded its scope greatly. And they didn't even make their decision on the merits of the case. Is there a mechanism for unseating Supreme Court judges who won't do their constitutionally mandated job?
Rush said yesterday that he has faith that this will all sort itself out in the end. I wish I shared that faith. I'm afraid that the leftist rot that has invaded the country is going to kill the country.
That should be "a homosexual COUPLE" living next door...
To be fair to the 99% majority of troops none of them likely wanted Fags in the service. Soldiers do not set those policies. Civilians in the Pentagon and Congress set military policy. Hagel and company along with the Queers should be the ones shown the door.
I know what you mean; it's like He has become deist for a while; just letting the USA seethe in its own folly.
Hagel is a blot on NE "Republicans". It seems every state Republican party has a huge embarrassment out there and more than one or two at that.
There is, but the American people won't support the mechanism, which is impeachment, conviction, and removal from office with forfeit of pay and benefits.
One thing the LIBERAL JSC didn't think through when they put their jobs over the combat readiness of the Armed Forces, and sodomized the US military. In the heat of battle, three or four in a foxhole, one of being openly queer, and they are being overran by 20 members of the Taliban. The sergeant waits to the last minute to tell them to shoot, wanting to kill as many as possible. All the sudden he gives the order "NOW, shoot the GD c***suckers". Guess which one got killed first?
So true.
Dystopia isn't a movie anymore. It is here.
By slashing RDF.
On front line defense? For 80 billion dollars of a sequestration, we lay fallow Our Front Line Defenses? Do you have any idea, of what these gay humpings, are to cost Our Country? What's your deal?
I wasn't sure if you were talking about God or obama.
I wouldn't be surprised if obama says something about "being back home in Africa" or something like that. Just by going he's sticking his finger in America's eye. He'll say something to get a finger in the other eye.
How 'bout this scenario. A straight soldier is stationed in Texas. He has a straight friend who is very ill and has no insurance. The soldier and his friend fly to Vermont and get a marriage license. On Monday he walks into the personel office back in Texas and hands in his marriage license. The friend now gets government insurance and treatment at taxpayer's expense.
This scenario could even be brothers marrying brothers or daughters marrying mothers or sons marrying fathers. Once again stupid politicians have refused to look one day down the road.
"For 80 billion dollars of a sequestration, we lay fallow Our Front Line Defenses?"
The liberal "War Against Islam" was never a "front line defense"; it was to force our NEW culture (pro-gay, anti-male, pro-abortion, socialist) on people who aren't interested. In the meantime, my town is overrun with illegal aliens both parties have made it clear they won't address (and they're not just Hispanics - the 9/11 hijackers hung out here, overstaying their visas, while they plotted their attacks).
When our military secures our border, then they are worth funding. Otherwise, let Afghanistan and Iraq pay them. Do you have any idea what the costs of these maimed troops returning from our 0-2 disasters over there are going to cost us (for DECADES)? What's YOUR deal?
Well, I don't believe the US has ever declared a "War Against Islam", much less a liberal war. You are entirely stupid. There is only a certain type of idiot, that would even express that point of view. Swing and a miss, dipshit. Go again, I dare ya.
We have set up a new Afghan government where a certain number of members must be female; we wouldn't even allow that here (yet).
You're very elequent; English major?
You do not have a gift for gab. Ever been killed, by stray ways?
When will they do same for polygamists?
You are correct that Islam is a chastisement for a nations arrogant (pride and arrogance before God) behavior promoting sodomite-ism. But that is more Europe's chastisement. Ours comes in a different form via open borders
As wacked as Islam is, it understands (in a too extreme way) what the roles of men and women are. Islamic nations seem to outlaw abortion plus they condemn faggotry. We know homo sex relations are big in some Muslim nations but at least Islamic nations condemn it while we promote it and send female ambassadors to Muslim nations
The internet is full of expressive English majors but more so on the liberal blogs and websites. You have illiterate liberals on the www but a lot of overwrought verbose types too
"You are correct that Islam is a chastisement for a nations arrogant (pride and arrogance before God) behavior promoting sodomite-ism. But that is more Europes chastisement."
Islam is a chastisement for not following natural law (breeding); we lost more people on 9/11 than all of Europe has combined in the same period (not even including the Fort Hood shootings, the Boston Marathon bombing, the Brooklyn Bridge & LAX shootings), etc.. As someone living between Jersey City and Paterson/Passaic NJ, I assure you Islam is a chastisement for us.
"As wacked as Islam is, it understands (in a too extreme way) what the roles of men and women are. Islamic nations seem to outlaw abortion plus they condemn faggotry."
Absolutely; they follow "natural law" (and are winning).
I know; I was just hoping to shut down the retreat to insults on an otherwise-civil site.
Sell-outs. Traitors. Turncoats. Benedict Arnolds. When is America going to get fed up and FIGHT???? BAZILLION MAN/WOMAN AND CHILD MARCH ON THE WHITE HOUSE???? ORGANIZE IT!
Stop sniveling, Americans....ACT!

First of all, I'm pretty excited about wordpress. I haven't installed it just yet, but I'm going to give it a try very soon :).
That said, will you be able to run multiple weblogs off of the same wordpress install, as movable type has? I'm not sure if it's already been integrated, but I'd like to see it in a future release if it hasn't yet been implemented. :)

I am new to wordpress. I was looking for a simple and effective forum. I have tried buddypress, it kept clashing with my theme, bbpress looked too basic, others are premium. Then I found zingiri. It did most of the work and its really great.
Thanks for this great plugin

Try this Flourless Orange-Almond Cake with Mocha Sauce recipe, or contribute your own.
68 people want to try | 69 have favorited
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch cake pan. Place the almonds on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until light brown. Remove the nuts from the oven and set aside to cool completely. To prepare the cake, put the almonds and sugar in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely ground. Add the orange juice concentrate, zest, almond extract, ginger, and eggs and process again until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes, then remove the cake from the pan. To prepare the sauce, put the coffee and 1 cup of the cream in a medium saucepan and heat just until almost boiling. Turn off the heat and add the chocolate, stirring until smooth. Stir in the vanilla and Kahlua and keep warm until ready to use. Whip the remaining cup of cream to soft peaks. To serve, cut the cake into slices. Spoon some of the sauce over the top of each slice and top with a dollop of whipped cream.

Kyrgyz Republic
Primary tabs
EITI Status
Compliant since
Extractive Industries
The Kyrgyz Republic has substantial deposits of coal and gold and remains a substantial part of the economy. In 2013, the flagship Kumtor gold mine produced 600,000 ounces, the lion's of the country's gold (source: Centerra Gold).
According to Kyrgyz Republic's 2012 EITI Report (its latest), mining constituted about 11% of budget revenues, about 7% of GDP and 44% of total exports for the Kyrgyz Republic. Lack of infrastructure and investment is hindering the exploitation of coal, tin and tungsten deposits.
The government is attempting to improve the business climate to attract foreign investment. It aims to increase revenues from the extractive industries through diversification of the sector and integration into the world economy. (Source: National Sustainable Development Strategy.) Relations with China have intensified in recent years, and there are plans to construct a pipeline transporting Turkmen gas from Kyrgyzstan to China.
EITI Reporting
EITI Implementation
Implementation activities in Kyrgyzstan are currently focused on preparations for Validation that is due to commence 1 October 2015. The latest EITI report covering the year of 2012 was published in April 2014. As in previous years, the KEITI Secretariat has produced a summary report with contextual information about the extractive sector's contribution to the economy, licenses and production volumes. Building trust between government, companies and civil society is a key issue in Kyrgyzstan. The NGO Tree of life hosts an online forum for discussing natural resource governance, including EITI. It additionally has six public reception centres to inform local communities about mining activities.
On 23 December 2013, the KEITI Supervisory Board adopted the 2014-2015 workplan (available below in English, and here in Russian). The workplan foresees a number of new activities including monitoring local extractive industry funds for development, monitoring the use of resources allocated for environmental protection, contract transparency, reviewing the allocation of licenses, reporting on the indirect contributions of the mining sector to the economy, and establishing a reporting mechanism for transparency in the use of extractive industry funds allocated for infrastructure investments.
Kyrgyzstan has also agreed to participate in the beneficial ownership pilot project and completed their Scoping Note (also available in Russian) in early July 2014. In September 2015 the Supervisory Board presented Evaluation Report of the beneficial ownership pilot in Russian.
- In June 2011, the government of the Kyrgyz Republic decided to establish the Fuel and Energy Sector Transparency Initiative (FESTI), partially modelled on the EITI. FEISTI aims to increase transparency and accountability in the energy sector. It has its own Supervisory Board and a secretariat located within the Ministry of Energy.
- The EITI Reports include payments to the social and environmental charges.

In a Webzone of "Fanboys" and "Haters", I felt it necessary to create a thread for those of us who view this draft with mixed feelings.
I love/hate the Aldon Smith pick, tremendous upside, some absolutely unteachable natural ability, great tackle for loss, and sack numbers, but poor foot work, upright running style, and tendency to "dip and rip" (not gonna work on pro level) Still all said could be the next Ted Hendricks!
Colin Kantspellhisname, Great TD to INT ratio, great athlete, just not the instant answer we are looking for. Still Harbaugh, knows way more than I.
Love the two guard picks, spell competition for Chilo "Swing gate" Rachel.
Stoked on a "Scat back" looking forward to his speed on 3rd downs.
Choice of CB/S, leaves me scratching my head, but again smarter minds at work.
The rest camp fodder but you never know.
Lastly trading so much for Kantspellhisname, left me uneasy.
All in all not a great draft in the near future, more one of those wait and see drafts. This team has been down so long, I think my anger and disappointment stem from a lack of immediate help in this drat.
If you LOVE this draft post elsewhere, if you HATE this draft, relax, and then go post elsewhere.
This thread is for intelligent thought and critical thinkers only, that being said I stand ready to see trolls piss all over it!

Before I begin... all of the sites I'm about to mention are 2.9.1 - very few plugins, but all plugins are up-to-date as well.
So here is my plight...
On January 2 I found that one of my web sites had been hacked. In this particular hack - the title of my web site had been hacked and changed. Here is the damage that was done with that attack:
Title of web site changed to say "Hacked by DAVA_Cybernetica"
In the tagline - placed a link to fasthacker.us
Reset the admin password
Okay... pissed off and all - I obliterated the whole site. The WP installation was removed - new 2.9.1 installed. New passwords for the admin account, and new mysql db name and password. I imported the XML file that had my posts in it (only after verifying that nothing suspicous was inserted into it... that took a while).
So the site goes back live two days later. Then this week two of my sites get hacked by the same group. This time instead of changing the information listed above - they inserted a file in the root of my web directory called LC.html - which was a "Your site has been hacked..." file. Same group again.
This time - both sites obliterated - all passwords changed - no plugins running. I checked with my host - they have had no reports of hacking. They are usually very good about responding to stuff like this when it happens, so I do trust their information.
If you Google the group - it's an Indonesian Defacing group, and you can see several sites across the net who have fallen victim to this group. Sadly no real knowledge of how they are getting in...
First question - has anyone heard/dealt with this group before?
Second question - what suggestions can you give for preventing future attacks. I have seen the "Hardening WordPress" Codex file and have done most of it (that is applicable).
Any suggestions would be very helpful and appreciated!
Thanks for your time,

Beautiful lake of Hawaiian name :-) Great area for me, I am sure and have to go there, too :-)
Another beautiful part of NZ.. The scenery is just beautiful. Great page Matey.. ;-)
Ahh, yes, you are right - Twizel is a lovely place. This picture with reflection on Lake Ohau is stunning !!! ^..^
I better stick to summer in Twizel... winter sounds a tad chilly!
Waltraud, a beautiful looking part of New Zealand, with those picturesque mountains and lake reflections! I cannot blame people for wanting to spend some time there!
I go with Goner: that name is so funny - really like it! Lake Ohau looks fantastic!! Lovely little page, Wal!
I love the name of this town - I'd visit there just for the salmon - yum....
Thanks God Twizel is "in" again... what a beatiful landscape. And Lake Ohau... I just cannot have enough of it. I was pleased to "meet" it in here once more. Thanks for sharing, Wal. Beijinho
I was there in June 2001 but it was just a brief visit so did not get the chance to explore this beautiful place properly.

I sat through much of the live stream ready to cringe, but Microsoft's press conference had so much awesome that I just kept saying to myself, "There's no way Sony and Nintendo can top this."
I've seen live streams and broadcasts of Microsoft's E3 shows past, but rarely did I give a damn of anything beyond their arcade montages. So what better way to get my attention than showing the vibrantly creative The Bealtes: Rock Band opening cinematic, and then have freaking Beatles talk about their own game? I thought Miyamoto's Wii Music charades back in '06 were pretty neat, but Paul and Ringo topping off your show just can't be bested... ever. Who cares if they didn't even seem to know what they were talking about? The fact that they were there spoke loudly that Microsoft wasn't fucking around. No "our Mario and Zelda teams are hard at work" bullshit. Showing and not telling indeed. With that approach they did a great job of getting me interested in games I otherwise wouldn't give the time to.
Shadow Complex looked unimpressive (but still good!) up until they pulled up the map. Then I realized that Samus and Simon have bogarted that type of game for far too long. There's room for more, especially if that more has a fresh face. Modern Warffare 2 was also unimpressive (but still awesome!). It's more Call of Duty 4. Is there really anything more that really needs to be said? These two didn't excite, but they looked solid.
I've never been a fan of racing games that market themselves as sims. Why play a game grounded in realism when I can, you know, drive realistically in real life? I'll stick to the fantastical likes of Ridge Racer, OutRun, and F-Zero, thank you very much. But even they seemed to have me in mind when Forza 3's awesomely bad music, strongly reminiscent of R4's Reiko intro, spoke to me and enticed interest out of my stubborn heart.
Left 4 Dead 2 was a big disappointment. Now I love L4D as much as the next person, and am as excited for L4D2, but what made me happiest about the first game's release was that I was certain Valve would put their effort back into finishing up the ongoing Half-Life story. Episode 2 was the only game that got me all choked up at the end, and I know I'm not the only one waiting to see what Gordon and Alyx will find on the Borealis. Sure, next to Nazi's, nothing's more fun to kill than zombies, and Valve's take on it is as awesome as it gets. But damn. Valve's Star Wars-like spacing between each Half-Life episode is ridiculous.
Alan Wake, a game that is alive and well, looks better than well. The visuals, as impressive as all hell, showed a game with a unique narrative. Also noteworthy is the game's everyman protagonist, which, along with Silent Hill Shattered Memories should bring a relatable character back to survival horror. I didn't note anything revolutionary, as the combat looks fluid but not new, but it definitely looks like it's worth the wait, with gameplay that'll only be memorable thanks to the story it's intertwined with.
Splinter Cell Conviction seems to reinvent the Sam's stealth gameplay, as MGS4 did for Snake. Much like the Xbox Splinter Cell trilogy in its time, Conviction looks amazing, except for the objectives being projected onto walls. In the name of being immersed in the game, these projections seem to do the exact opposite. I don't hallucinate troubled memories onto the bathroom wall in real life.
Something so overly stylized just reminds me it's a game. It just shows objectives that should be obvious in the first place. But whatever. Everything else looks great. The usual hanging from pipes, sneaking in shadows, and looking under doors are all there and looking better and more streamlined than ever. It's Splinter Cell. It's back, and it looks so great that the 360 doesn't really need a Metal Gear, but it surely wouldn't hurt...
Halo 3 was a fun end to the story and said all that needed to be said of its universe. After I Finished the Fight, I was done with it and wanted to see where Bungie's experience would take them when they moved on to new IPs (I mean, how seriously can you take a universe in which everyone in it speaks English?). "Shame that they're going back to the well," I thought when I first heard news of Recon. Even if it's not at the top of my list, Staten's demo of Halo 3: ODST had some great, and long-needed changes to their winning formula. The troopers' visors, and the weaknesses that they compensate, will force some interesting new approaches to enemies once conquered. It's just too bad, again, that they're going back to the well, again, with Halo Reach. I can't help but remember Factor 5's Julian Eggebrecht saying that his team was sick of Star Wars while working on Lair. If there are Bungie employees who would like to move on, I feel for them. It was an even bigger shame still when they had nothing to show of Reach.
Otherwise, when they had nothing to show, they made up for if with guest appearances you never saw coming. Kojima's "Oh shit!" appearance furthered Microsoft's goal of zeroing out reasons to consider turning on my PS3. If it wasn't for its Blu-Ray movies, Microsoft's E3 show just gave me every other reason to not touch the PS3, and a couple of reasons to not touch my computer. Netflix was one of the best things to happen to the 360, and knowing I can add movies to the queue while I loaf about on the sofa is great. I'm not down with Facebook, much less Twitter, but if you're the histrionic type that needs the attention those two services provide, then enjoy. They look like they work well, so kudos to the parties involved. But back to Kojima. If you must have your internet lingo, then Metal Gear Solid: Rising was Microsoft's megaton. Or at least its first one.
Surely that must've been the end. Or at least, I thought it would have been a good note to end on when I heard Microsoft had a new "controller" in mind. We've all seen mockups of their EyeToy knock-off and I had my doubts, so many doubts that I thought they'd simply announce the thing and end on their vision trailer. After Spielberg's appearance (confirming that, after cartoons in the early 90s, he's fully in an industry he doesn't really belong in), I was hoping they'd end the show, if only to avoid the awkwardness of other motion-control demoes. Like Reggie's failing water skiing, or the devious last minute announcement of the SIXAXIS. But to my big surprise, the damn thing worked. Project Natal wasn't perfect, but the thing was accurate in ways that Wii could never hope to be. The Wii may have failed to truly revolutionize gaming, but if Natal takes off as planned, and is as inclusive to core gamers with games as ambitious Molyneux's (game of Chris Hansen's bane), Nintendo will go down, once again, as the catalyst rather than the leader, so best of luck to them. They're going to need it. Oh, by the way? Yoot Saito? It's time to start making games for 360.
There's a reason they chose a woman to demo the game...
So what of the arcade games I cared for? I always turned back to them because, one, they were the simpler type of games I preferred because they harkened back to the golden age of 8 and 16-bit games, and two, they included the wildly creative likes of Rez HD and Braid. But things have completely turned upside down (except that Turtles in Time Re-Shelled looks like the simple fun I always like). Microsoft put on a real, actual, entertaining show and convinced me and my wallet to consider their pricier offerings. Job well done.

Carey Murdock has gone Nashville, but not country
Published: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 4:44 p.m.
Carey Murdock knows that the person on the next bar stool in Nashville, Tenn., might be worth listening to.
Want to go?
Who: Carey Murdock with Hey Rocco and Koko Beware
Where: The Radio Room, Greenville
When: 10 p.m. Friday
Tickets: $5
Info: 864-263-7868, www.wpbrradioroom.com
Who: Carey Murdock with The Emily Easterly Trio
Where: Lexington Avenue Brewery, Asheville, N.C.
When: 9:30 p.m. Wednesday
Tickets: $6
Info: 828-252-0212, www.lexavebrew.com
The North Augusta native moved there in August 2011 to devote his career to singing and songwriting.
One reason is that the person drinking beside you might be someone important in the business.
"What I like about Nashville is that you'll go to a bar and sit down and you never know who you're sitting next to," he said. "It could be Toby Keith's guitarist or someone who wrote a bunch of hits for Emmylou Harris. Everyone is so unassuming, and everyone is a lesson."
Murdock has released his second album, "Shot in the Dark," in January and will play two shows in the region this week.
While in Nashville, he's listened to other songwriters and become aware of their writing styles.
"Country music writers tend to be pretty lean. They edit their stuff a lot. A lot of songwriters will write a song for the first time and that's it. Country music writers are the opposite of Charles Dickens, they aren't very verbose," he said.
Even though he's in county music's capital, he hasn't delved into that genre. His last album, "Baby Don't Look Down," was decidedly more folk than the rock 'n' roll on his new release.
"I like being the guy in the room not wearing cowboy boots," he said.
He can't, though, escape country music during his shows.
One night, in a small crowded club, his audience included superstar Martina McBride and her husband. After a show he met songwriter Hilary Williams, Hank Williams' granddaughter.
"It's just another evening in Nashville," he said. "I was really glad I didn't know these people were here when I was playing."
Music wasn't always on his radar growing up, as Murdock wanted to be an entomologist and make a career of studying insects.
"My drummer gives me a hard time about (wanting to be an entomologist)," he said. He tells me that if I studied insects I'd have ended up alone. Ever since I started playing guitar and writing songs, I knew it's what I want to do.
"I don't do anything else as well. It's the one thing I do that seems to benefit other people in some way."

...and answers.
Good answers are voted up and rise to the top.
The best answers show up first so that they are always easy to find.
The person who asked can mark one answer as "accepted".
Accepting doesn't mean it's the best answer, it just means that it worked for the person who asked.
Who would command the Enterprise D if the ranking officers were off the ship?
2 Answers
I would say Commander Beverly Crusher, as she is a fully certified bridge officer and has the rank of commander. She took command of the enterprise on numerous occasions (see her Memory Alpha article)
Presumably,as well as Picard,Riker etc, the ship could also be commanded by Tasha, Worf, Pulaski or whoever the captain chose-even down to Ro or Wesley!

A two-year-old Masterton child is fighting for his life after
receiving life-threatening injuries during an alleged assault
by an adult.
Caleb Skinner was airlifted to Starship Hospital in Auckland
on Monday night with serious head injuries following the
assault at a George St address that night.
His parents, Joanne Smith and Daryll Skinner, are holding
vigil at their son's bedside waiting for him to awake from an
induced coma to help reduce swelling of his brain.
A man known to the family has been arrested and charged with
assaulting the child.
Ms Smith said she was at work on Monday when she got a call
to say her son was being rushed to hospital with serious head
She was devastated he had been hurt.
"I just can't believe it.''
Mr Skinner said Caleb was a fighter but was very concerned
about the toddler's current condition.
"He's normally so full of life. It's just devastating.''
Along with the head injury, Caleb had bruises over his entire
body, Mr Skinner said.
"He's sedated because there is too much bleeding from the
brain at the moment. He's on machines which are breathing for
him ... it's not good.''
When Caleb was first taken to hospital he responded for a
short time, touching his nose and trying to reach out, his
father said.
"It hasn't been good since then.''
Hospital visits are not unknown to the toddler, who has
undergone surgery more than once for a bowel condition he was
born with.
A 39-year-old Masterton man appeared before Judge Tom
Broadmore in Masterton District Court this afternoon on a
charge of assaulting a child. He wore a white police-issue
boiler suit and stood staring towards the front of the
courtroom throughout his appearance.
Judge Tom Broadmore granted interim name suppression and the
man was remanded in custody by consent .
He is due back in court on March 17.

Freezing of gait (FOG) is a common gait deficit in advanced Parkinsonpsilas disease (PD). It is often a cause of falls, interferes with daily activities and significantly impairs quality of life. Gait deficits in PD patients are often resistant to pharmacologic treatment; therefore effective nonpharmacologic assistance is needed. In this paper we show the potential of context aware assistance for PD patients with FOG and present our first results on start and turn FOG assistance using our modular wearable research platform. We developed a real-time FOG detection system which provides external acoustic cues when FOG is detected from on-body motion sensors, until the subject resumes walking. In an evaluation study, ten PD patients tested our device. We recorded over 8 h of data. Eight patients experienced FOG during the study, and 237 FOG events have been identified by physiotherapists in a post video analysis. For the first time PD patients with the FOG syndrome were assisted by a context-aware wearable system. We report a high accuracy of freeze detection (73.1% sensitivity, 81.6% specificity, user independent). Based on subjective reports, the majority of patients indicated a benefit from the automatic cueing. We discuss how additional sensor modalities can paint a more complete view of the userpsilas context and may increase the systempsilas accuracy, decrease its latency, and eventually allow going from freeze detection to freeze preemption.

OK, so I've just started playing with HungryFEED and got another idea. I want a titles only feed and want to have bullets in front of each title so I edit a custom template and use that. However, to make this work properly, I really need to insert
<ul> and
</ul> before and after the whole feed block. Also, it would be nice to customise the hungryfeed_feed_title and hungryfeed_feed_description block. So, a further extension could be to permit a custom template for the 'before' and 'after' markup.
Hah, I guess that you're thinking that some users want the earth... ;o) It's only because I see this as an excellent plugin with the potential to do a litle more. Many thanks.

Q: Can diamond finish clear be used over rust seal? I'm looking to use rust seal as a color base coat on some automotive components (steering rack, transmission, differential...etc) and use clear to provide the UV protective layer/topcoat
Asked by: Carlton Brown
- 10/28/2013
A: We do not recommend putting DiamondFinish Clear over RustSeal because although DiamondFinish Clear is absolutely UV stable, DiamondFinish Clear does not block the UV rays from getting through to the RustSeal. Over an extended period of time, DiamondFinish Clear can delaminate from RustSeal when exposed to prolonged sunlight.We always recommend a solid color UV stable top coat paint (such as BlackTop or KBS Maxx) over RustSeal if RustSeal will be exposed to sunlight.

PC giant Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) is probably going to sign a mega customer relationship management (CRM) deal with salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM) for about 35,000 to 40,000 seats, a move that might end up replacing Oracle(Nasdaq: ORCL) Siebel as its CRM provider.
"HPQ is completely shutting down Oracle Siebel, which contacts tell us has made Oracle very furious. Contacts tell us that by moving to Salesforce, HPQ may be saving 40 percent-50 percent over ORCL Siebel," Trip Chowdhry, an analyst at Global Equities Research said, citing industry contacts.
Salesforce wants to close the deal with HP before its Dreamforce event, Chowdhry said. Dreamforce 2010, a cloud computing event hosted by Salesforce, takes place between Dec. 6 and Dec. 9 in San Francisco.
Chowdhry said his contacts are almost 100 percent sure that, if HP signs the mega deal of greater than 35,000 seats or so with Salesforce before the Dreamforce event, someone from HP will deliver the keynote at the event.
The analyst also said some of its contacts are hearing that HP's new CEO Leo Apothekar may show up at Salesforce's Dreamforce event.
If the deal happens, this would represent significant shift within the technology industry.
On the other hand, the analyst said Salesforce may feel confident that now is the time to move away from under the shadow of Oracle, and "Claim to the Enterprise World that Salesforce.com is the New Oracle; just like Google is the New Microsoft; and Microsoft is the New Xerox!"
Both Oracle Siebel and Salesforce offers customer relationship management (CRM) software for businesses. The work of CRM involves focusing on service automated processes, information gathering and processing, integrating and automating various customer serving processes in a company. It also manages to keep track of customer preferences, buying habits and deals with customer service requests.
The key difference between Oracle Siebel and Salesforce solutions is that Siebel is more sophisticated but complicated to use, where as Salesforce.com has better graphics and easier-to-train employees, but it's not as comprehensive.
Oracle, which bought Siebel Systems in 2006 for $5.85 billion, currently offers about 50 CRM applications that are able to provide for all the customer service requirements of small, medium and large industries. Its solutions are more comprehensive and offer greater functionality and reliability.
Meanwhile, Salesforce allows a company to handle all their business applications with a single data model, one sharing model, and one user interface. It offers a shared enterprise application that provides for collaboration, reporting, data sharing, etc.

This sector is out of favor unless they arebringing in foreign help -check out Mastech thisyear.Mark my words - this is the big year for consolidationin this industry - when 2nd quarter comes in bad forthese companies and it will - the only thing left to dois merge to cut expenses. Margins will never getback up because the customers have gotten wise to thegame and seen the principals ride off in their privatejets -the party is over !
i.e. Agilera and DigiTerra. For one, there wereto many groups associated with CIBER and it wasdifficult to create a unique identity within the company(EAS, ESG, BIT, CSG, CEO, etc.) Regardless of whetheranybody realizes it or not, CIBER has essentially becomea holding company in the consulting arena. The samescenario would be true if, for example, Deloitte andTouche did a carve-out of their five core competencybusinesses. Mark my words, there WILL be an increase inshareholder value - and the reason will be very obvious at alater date. Spin-offs and carve-outs are not consideredan immediate value-add to shareholders anymore.However, if you do enough DD, you will see that theAgilera and DigiTerra business plans have actual merit,direction, strong management and most importantly -referable customers. Hold on to your CBR shares longs.
I agree about the consolidation but I'm not surethe party is over. The party is just not as big orwild as your typical college kegger.The demandis starting to ramp up again and I think the bestcompanies will prevail. CIBER has as good a chance as anybut they will have to perform. I expect CIBER, Keane,CTG, etc. to see some consolidation with the Webdarlings who need depth and scale. Companies likeRazorfish, Proxicom, Viant, etc. Time will tell.
