What is the i.amPULS? Well for starters, it isn't a smart watch. At the heart of the device is an intelligent voice-enabled personal assistant, transcending the unique user interface idiosyncrasies inherent in small-screened wearable devices. Appropriately dubbed AneedA – as in "I need a…" – she is able to tackle simple to complex tasks such as sending dictated text messages or tweets, making phone calls, or controlling your music. Plus, she has quite the personality.
What is the i.amPULS? Well for starters, it isn't a smart watch. And I'm not just reiterating what Will said onstage when he unveiled his new wearable to a crowd of thousands at Salesforce's Dreamforce conference last month. The PULS is a smart band wearable device that fuses high fashion and design with hi-tech, making for an experience unlike any other wearable device on the market. It's like having access to all your favorite smartphone features right on your wrist. While your other devices might be mobile, the PULS smart band can truly go everywhere with you without the worry of the cracked screen fiasco when your smartphone slips out of hand. Just try rock climbing with your smart phone in hand (OK no, please don't!).
At the heart of the device is an intelligent voice-enabled personal assistant, transcending the unique user interface idiosyncrasies inherent in small-screened wearable devices. Appropriately dubbed AneedA – as in "I need a…" – she is able to tackle simple to complex tasks such as sending dictated text messages or tweets, making phone calls, or controlling your music. She not only listens but understands, embracing natural language understanding technology that allows the end user to engage more naturally and in a more human-like manner.
Just as any techie or trendsetter would be, I'm incredibly excited about this device. Seeing the end result is that much more impressive to me though, having worked alongside Will for months behind-the-scenes to see his vision come to life.
I had the pleasure of heading up the Nuance / AneedA engagement with Will and the i.am+ team. Will was (and continues to be) hyper-engaged in all aspects of the creation of the PULS. From the start of our first in-person brainstorming session, it was clear that this device's personal assistant wasn't just intended to complete tasks – it had to do so in a way that was engaging and embodied Will's core personal and brand characteristics. AneedA needed a personality and we were excited to build it. The first time will.i.am called me I thought I was being pranked. It took a minute for Will to convince me that it was actually him, then like many conversations since we were off brainstorming and discussing features and design. In retrospect, I shouldn't have been surprised at all given how down to earth and engaged he's been.
Bringing a new personal assistant to life takes a great deal of creativity – something we were not lacking throughout the process. In fact, the challenge was often choosing what features to implement first since the list of ideas stretched on to seemingly no end. It also takes vision, and not compromising that vision even in light of pressure to meet aggressive development deadlines. It's because of Will and our mutual commitment to these factors that the finished product is so far removed from a cookie cutter mold.
Will wanted to create an authentic, uncensored persona for AneedA. This came as a bit of a reality check for me. Considering how we might behave to conform to culturally accepted norms, for example, was not the focus when designing AneedA's personality. We placed the importance of delivering a consistent brand experience ahead of any hesitations associated with reflecting such unadulterated society. This is especially evident in AneedA's chatbot capabilities. For example, if you were to tell her "I hate you" she might respond with, "You've been drinking too much hatorade" as opposed to a watered-down alternative that could be, "Well, that isn't very nice." Or if you tell AneedA to talk dirty to you (no judgment), she'll retort, "What the f!@% do you want me to say?!" The customization of AneedA's personality didn't stop there, though. You will even hear Will's voice singing the numbers as you dial a phone number, rather than the standard monotonous beeps you might hear on your smartphone.
Every last detail was taken into account when designing AneedA. Will and i.am+ don't do conventional and they don't compromise, and I admire them for that. Through everything, I've learned that it's not about designing a wearable so much as it is about designing an experience.
It's been a great honor to work with Will and the entire i.am+™ team to see this project to fruition. I'm looking forward to continuing our relationship with will.i.am as innovation partners and to further evolve AneedA's personality to make for the best experience possible on the PULS.

Third-graders post lower FCAT scores
Date: May 21, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
Although a number of Manatee County schools showed significant improvements in third-grade reading and math scores, the overall percentage of district third-graders scoring at grade level or above declined in relation to 2008, according to Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test results released today by the Florida Department of Education.
Among the third-grade scores released today in reading, the percentage of Manatee third-graders scoring at Level 3 or above dipped from 71% in 20008 to 68% in 2009. In math, the percentage of Manatee third-graders scoring at Level 3 or above decreased from 75% in 2008 to 70% in 2009.
"We're not happy with these results, therefore we will spend time looking deeply at specific data to determine what factors contributed to this outcome," said Lynette Edwards, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction.
At the individual school level, five district schools recorded improvements in both reading and math. Manatee School of Arts and Science, a charter school, improved its scores by 12% in both reading and math in relation to 2008. In addition, Blackburn Elementary improved its reading and math results by 11%; Braden River improved reading 4% and math 7%; McNeal improved reading 2% and math 4%; Bayshore improved reading 3% and math 1%.
"We had some schools that made significant improvements and we need to recognize that," said Dr. Louis Robison, Executive Director of School Improvement and Accountability. "At the same time there are a number of areas we can evaluate to see what they tell us about the scores we received today."
Over the last two years, Manatee students have shown consistent improvement in almost every FCAT area tested. Already in 2009, Manatee students showed significant gains in FCAT writing results and district 12th-graders taking FCAT retake tests topped state averages in both reading and math.

There are six more months before Augusta's mayoral election, and more potential candidates are filing intent cards to run for the office.
News 12's Domonique Benn talks with the latest candidate and political newcomer vying for the mayor's seat.
Augusta businessman Steven Kendrick makes it official that he will start raising money for his campaign for mayor.
He wants to bring a fresh face with fresh ideas.
"I think we need to be very studious and very careful that we are fair to all of our citizens--that everyone feels they are included in our government," he says.
Board of elections director Lynn Bailey says before candidates can raise money, they must fill out an intent card.
"Right now we have two such forms on file for perspective candidates," she told News 12.
Incumbent Deke Copenhaver does not have to file for intent since he is the incumbent.
Other than political newcomer Kendrick, William "Gil" Gilyard is the only potential candidate to file.
"Georgia law says that in order to accept campaign contributions, you have to put the filing officer on notice that you are out there collecting funds, and in this case the local elections office, and it also requires that you register your campaign with the Secretary of State's Office," Bailey explained.
And now that Steven Kendrick has filed his intention, he'll spend his time convincing 90,000 registered voters that he is the right candidate.
"That's one of the skills that our mayor must have," Kendrick says. "If our mayor is not a salesperson who can take a product and say here's what's great about this product and here's why it helps you, then we are destined to keep going in the direction we are now."
And Kendrick says he feels his leadership will be effective.
Steve Kendrick plans to make his formal announcement at the rear of the Municipal Building at 12:30 on Monday.

When three East Valley high school students take high office at their schools in August, they'll have some big time experience under their belts.
Today, Daniel Ash, Uven Chong and Cecile Dinh begin a weeklong leadership boot camp in the shadow of the nation's Capitol.
The teens, all heading into their senior year, will represent Arizona at Boys Nation and Girls Nation, two American Legion-sponsored programs in which students become lawmakers pushing bills through a mock U.S. Senate.
Each of the 48 states that participate in the Legion's Boys and Girls State program sends students to the national conference.
Ash said Boys Nation's emphasis on protocol will be useful to him as president of his Mesa High School Student Council.
"Our adviser wants us to really follow parliamentary procedure this year, so this will really be helpful," he said.
Ash has some additional experience with parliamentary procedure, as a member of Mesa's Mayor's Youth Committee. Dinh also is on that committee.
Dinh, 17, said life as a Girls Nation senator likely will be most useful to her in dealing with her peers during her first time as treasurer on Mesa's Skyline High School Student Council.
"I'll be able to give people support, and it'll definitely help my listening skills," she said.
At Girls Nation, she will co-sponsor a bill that would hold foster parents more accountable for the fate of the children under their care.
Chong, who will turn 18 while he's at Boys Nation and goes to Desert Vista High School in Ahwatukee Foothills where he'll be Student Council president, was born in Malaysia.
He moved with his family to the United States at age 8, and fell in love with the opportunities offered by the American way of government as a Boy Scout.
"I'd like to be president of the United States, but I can't because I wasn't born here," he said. "There are ways around that, I could become a senator and try to get a bill through . . ."
His bill, inspired by an Atlantic Monthly article, will propose a way for filling congressional seats in case the House and Senate are decimated in a catastrophic attack.
Separate senates will convene for Boys and Girls Nation in Washington, D.C.-area universities, but participants will see some real power brokers, including President Bush, barring scheduling conflicts.

Bridge Park highlights city plan
Jonathan Charlton, The StarphoenixPublished: Saturday, May 10, 2014
It's still a generation away from completion, but Saskatoon's $130-million north downtown development plan is gathering steam.
City staff have sent a mostly complete plan to council's executive committee for its consideration on Monday.
"We're checking in, we're not asking for an approval at this stage," said special projects co-ordinator Jeanna South.
"We hope to be in front of city council, asking for final approval, in the fall."
Planners envision a lowto medium-density mixeduse neighbourhood housing about 7,650 people, in a mix of townhouses and one or two towers.
But the linchpin is a striking Bridge Park straddling the railway.
When consultants first looked at the project, they noted the CN line has always separated the east and west ends of the city; it's difficult to access and difficult to cross. They also realized the area lacks green space and parking.
"With the Bridge Park, we have this piece that starts to create not just connections; it is a bridge, but it is other things as well," South said.
"We heard people were really interested in living in the downtown, but they just couldn't make the leap yet because they didn't see the green space, didn't see the amenity, didn't see a lot of other people living there."
Pending approval, South will work on the financing and partnerships. At this point, the plan projects revenues of $72 million from developer fees.
The plan's biggest obstacle is dealing with the 24 acres of city yards that house snowplows, graders and other city equipment. No money has been set aside for clearing them.
Even if the yards aren't completely dealt with, the city can still start to release development parcels along the 25th Street extension, South said.
"Before we set a time for releasing parcels for sale, there's a few things we need to know a little more about. The master plan is the first piece and it's great, it really ignites all this energy and discussion around the project."
The 25th Street parcels would be released in the first five years after approval. Over the next five to 10 years, the eastern portion of the bridge would be built, and adjacent parcels would be developed. Lastly, the bridge would be extended to the west side.

Windows 8 London launch: 'Is this a queue for the iPad mini?'
Summary: Microsoft's Windows 8 is here, but with no UK launch activities I was slightly dubious as to how many people would drag themselves to central London for Currys/PC World's launch event. So, just how many did?
6 of 7Image
Clearly taking cues from Apple, the Currys/PC World staff let out some whooping and hollering when the countdown got to zero and the doors opened. But unlike an Apple launch, they didn't continue doing it while every single person made their way in, thankfully.
Image: Ben Woods
While the Spanish brothers were first in the queue, they hit a bit of a hiccup when it came to actually paying.
Pictured above is the moment when our number-one man was told that they would have to go to another till as the keyboard had gone a bit wonky at this one. Not the happiest looking face, which is fair enough after seven hours of standing in line.
Image: Ben Woods
As a result of the till's keyboard failure, the first people to exit the store were actually about numbers four and five from the queue - incidentally, one of them was the woman who started the "Windows 8 will be great" chant. They scurried off home pretty quickly, clearly having had enough of posing for photos and talking to the likes of me.
And then, just as I was packing up and about to leave (I was actually stood talking with a Microsoft exec at the time) a random passerby on Tottenham Court Road staggered up to us and asked: "Is this the queue for the iPad mini launch?"
No, my friend, it's not.

As township council opened a series of public meetings on the Recreation Master Plan, there's been little reaction to the proposed closure or re-purposing of the Cannington arena.
Of the 40 or so residents in attendance for the formal public meeting on the Master Plan in Cannington Tuesday (Oct. 2) night -- one of four sessions held this week -- little more than half were Cannington residents. Of those, only a handful spoke in favour of maintaining the status quo and keeping the ice surface in the facility.
"This is an asset we have -- let's use it to help build the community. Because once it's gone it's not coming back," said Michael Jones.
"The arena is an economic driver for this community. If you're going to close it, what's going to replace it?" asked Barry Hobbs during Wednesday afternoon's open house in Cannington.
Shorlty after the public meeting got underway Tuesday night, Anand Desai of Monteith Brown Planning Consultants, the firm hired to complete the Master Plan, told residents the rationale behind the recommendation to close or repurpose the facility.
Of the Township's three arenas, Cannington required the 'greatest operating subsidy' of the three arenas at $167,200 in 2011, followed by Beaverton at $153,800 and Sunderland at $106,400. However, the Cannington figure also includes the Township's final debenture payment for the facility, which is more than $58,000.
"Why would we ditch something we've finally paid for?" asked Cannington resident Gene Richard at Tuesday night's open house.
"There will be a huge (financial) improvement when the debenture is paid off," commented June Smith.
The shortfall at the three facilities has increased by 14 per cent -- from $374,000 in 2008 to $427,500 in 2011 -- while revenue has dropped from $441,000 to $400,000 over that same time period.
And while costs have increased over the years, use of the three facilities is declining -- rental hours have dropped from 3,275 hours in 2008 to 3,041 last year.
According to the Recreation Master Plan, 73 'prime time' hours go unrented at the three arenas each week -- the equivalent of one sitting empty during that timeframe.
"There's only a need for two arenas to serve residents," Mr. Anand said at the public meeting.
While closing the facility is an option, members of council appear to be more amenable to re-purposing the facility for indoor sports such as soccer, volleyball and basketball. An indoor track for walking and running has also been suggested.
"This isn't about closing an arena -- it's about new opportunities," said Beaverton resident Loretta Fernandes-Heaslip during the open house in the village Tuesday.
Beside closure or re-purposing, an alternative option would be to close all three arenas and build a new multi-use facility with twin ice pads, a prospect that has drawn little interest from councillors due to an estimated cost that could reach upwards of $15 million.
Don Gordon, a member of the Sunderland Lions, spoke against a twin-pad facility estatesin re-stating the club's offer to lead a community fundraising drive to expand and renovate the village's arena.
"Arenas are the heart and soul of a community," he told councillors and township staff.
"As a club, we don't support the notion of a twin-pad facility. That money would be better used to refurbish the facilities we have."
The two meetings in Cannington were preceded by an open house in Beaverton Tuesday afternoon and in Sunderland Wednesday night.

Given Texas' record for detention facilities with high rates of sexual abuse, Gov. Perry's rejection of rules under the Prison Rape Elimination Act is especially troubling to those advocating for the safety of inmates.
A new report from the National Women's Law Center argues, among other things, that Congress should pass the Fair Employment Protection Act to correct the narrow definition of a supervisor created by last summer's Supreme Court decision in Vance v. Ball State University.
Stories of mishandling and outright ignoring cases of sexual assault within religious institutions go back decades.
The seemingly non-controversial bill got derailed earlier this month when state legislators approved an amendment preventing local governments from passing new work leave policies, which could threaten the livelihood of survivors of domestic violence, crime, or abuse.
Pennsylvania Governor to Sign Bill Helping Protect Sexual Assault Survivors From Stalking, Harassment
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett is poised to sign a bill into law that will enable more sexual assault survivors and young stalking and harassment victims to obtain protection from abuse orders. Under current state law, only a small subset of rape survivors qualify for such orders.
The Dwyer protocol is meant to protect a defendant's constitutional right to a fair trial by allowing him or her to uncover exculpatory evidence that could impeach a victim's credibility—such as a victim's therapy or medical records. The result is that perpetrators get their privacy, while survivors are often robbed of theirs.
Last year, Monica Jones was targeted as part of Project ROSE, an "arrest alternative" anti-prostitution program. As Jones' trial starts, here's a look at how Project ROSE operates.
After a year of focused debate, advocates for changing a culture of rampant sexual assault within the military were rebuked by a 55-45 procedural vote that did not allow the measure to advance to a full vote.
Judges from York, Monroe, and Lancaster counties have now all written opinions stating that the law fails to take juveniles' greater capacity for reform into account.
A recent Slate piece argued that coercing testimony from survivors of violence means more victims testifying, which means more offenders jailed, which means less DV and sexual assault. However, this position is, as it turns out, largely nonexistent in the real world.

text: Obama: Hillary and I Are 'Buddies' Print article Send a Tip by Charlie Spiering 30 May 2014 post a comment In an interview on the "Kelly and Michael" show, President Obama assured Americans that he had a warm relationship with Hillary Clinton. Co-host Kelly Ripa asked Obama what he thought about Clinton's glowing praise about how he handled the killing of Osama bin Laden. "Did you know that she felt this way about you?" asked Ripa. "You know Hillary and I - we're buddies, Obama said, asserting that although people look at their relationship as a "marriage of convenience" he felt "blessed" to have her serve as Secretary of State." "I always admired her," Obama said. "As soon as she got here should couldn't have been more effective and more loyal and since that time we've become really really good friends." Obama added that although he didn't know if she would run for president, he said that she would be "very effective."

In homage to Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge, you might have noticed that the magazine this week has taken on a bit of a baby theme. Even our goodie bag giveaway has had a royal makeover with a fantastic haul of goodies for those expecting their own little prince, or princess for that matter. The money raised from text and telephone entries will go to East Anglia Children's Hospices – of which the Duchess of Cambridge is royal patron. To enter, call 0904 088 1010 or text AMBERG followed by a space and then your contact details to 85088. T&C's are in the magazine but in the meantime, let's take a look and see what you can win…
Bill Amberg's Papoose, worth £495, is possibly the most iconic baby carrier on the market. A firm favourite among the A-list (Jude Law, the Beckhams and Kate Winslet all carried their little ones in style), it's made from vegetable tanned bridle leather and organic sheepskin. Snug.
If you're looking for a chic baby gift, why not instil some good habits from the outset and present the little one in question with this Vera Wang for Wedgwood Baby Collection Piggy Bank, worth £40.
It's unlikely you'll need an excuse to cuddle any new-born but you won't be able to keep your hands off them when they're swaddled in this glorious The Little White Company Pointelle Cashmere Blanket, worth £140.
Every new parent will want to cherish those precious early moments and while you might not get a snap on the steps of the Lindo Wing a la Wills and Kate, you can make your own memories with Samsung's WB250F digital camera, worth £179.95.
Another A-list favourite – hey, if it's good enough for Angelina Jolie, it's good enough for us – Storksak have absolutely nailed making changing bags that are stylish as well as uber practical. We love the Sofia, worth £250.
Every new Mum deserves a bit of pampering and there's nothing quite as nourishing as Clarins Tonic Body Treatment Oil, worth £38 and Clarins Stretch Mark Control, worth £37.

Walks and Bikes News Briefs
conditions. As of today, there are only three blocks of bicycle lanes in the entire city and none are of optimal width or offer connections.
The information gathered through the audit rides will help BCBC achieve another goal, drafting a bicycle plan that will help create a functional bicycle network throughout the city. The BCBC will prepare the plan in phases, with the first due to be completed by Spring 2010. One of the first issues to be identified will involve bicycle parking, because few options exist in the city. BCBC recognizes that bicycling for transportation can not happen if riders are unable to securely park bikes near their destinations.
Thus far, the BCBC has been very successful in garnering support from city leaders. Mayor Cory Booker accepted an invitation from the BCBC to ride with the group on its inaugural bike ride this summer. Also, East Ward Councilman Augusto Amador has expressed interest in making Newark a bicycle-friendly city. Amador's support, along with that of the Ironbound Business Improvement District, was critical in the success of the BCBC's Halloween Bicycle Scavenger Hunt, held in the Ironbound.
To keep its agenda moving along, the BCBC is sharing the message with city officials and community stakeholders alike that supporting bicycling and creating safe and viable
options for riders offers numerous benefits. As explained by BCBC member Zoe Baldwin, biking offers local residents a different understanding of their city and helps to improve the sense of community. A bikeable city increases options for affordable mobility for all residents and contributes to the economic and social revitalization of downtown areas.
When reliance on the car is reduced, urban areas can improve air quality, reduce CO2 emissions and encourage green living. In addition, when people can bike to their destinations, the need for off-street car parking can be reduced, thereby freeing up new space for commercial and residential uses. BCBC members also cite the health benefits of bicycling as it helps combat obesity, which is often prevalent in urban areas.
In little more than six months, the BCBC has risen to prominence in New Jersey bicycle and pedestrian advocacy. The group is eager to encourage more residents and commuters to get involved in making Newark a more bikeable city, so that riders can safely and successfully enjoy biking throughout this urban community and beyond.
For more information on the BCBC, access their website at: http://www.brickcitybikecollective.org/

The RS 2000 evokes many of the styling cues of the RS 1000, notably its gull-wing doors. Prototypes will be developed by Melkus in cooperation with the Technical University of Dresden beginning in January 2007, with the production version scheduled to for its debut in the spring of 2008.
The RS 2000 is envisioned as a lightweight, mid-engined two-seater coupe built on a tube-frame chassis with integrated roll bar. The suspension design follows current racecar practice, featuring dual a-arms front and rear, with pushrods actuating inboard-mounted springs and dampers. Powered by a so-far-unspecified four-cylinder engine putting out between 130 and 200 hp through a six-speed transmission with a target weight of less than 2,200 lb, the RS 2000 should sprint from 0-62 mph in about 5 seconds.
Melkus plans to limit production of its hand-built cars to around 25 per year, with a target price in the neighborhood of 75,000 Euro (about $95,000). More pics after the jump.

Red Wings can clinch playoff spot with 1 point in Pittsburgh
Updated On: Apr 09 2014 05:21:33 PM EDT
One point is all the Detroit Red Wings need in their final three regular season games to clinch a spot in the playoffs.
It would be the franchise's 23rd consecutive trip to the postseason.
The Wings will be in Pittsburgh Wednesday night to take on the Penguins, the same team they could end up facing in the first round.
The last time these teams met was March 20 when Daniel Alfredsson scored his second goal of the game with 1 second left in overtime to give the Red Wings a 5-4 victory at Joe Louis Arena.
TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBC Sports, TSN2
ABOUT THE RED WINGS (38-27-14): The Red Wings held off the Buffalo Sabres Tuesday night to win 4-2 and capture another important two points. Pavel Datsyuk put the game away with an open net goal.
It was coach Mike Babcock's 414th win with Detroit, surpassing legendary Red Wings coach Jack Adams' 413 wins.
The Wings have three games remaining on their schedule. After Pittsburgh they are back in Detroit to host the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday. They wrap up the season on Sunday in St. Louis.
Jimmy Howard is expected to get the start Wednesday night. It would be a back-to-back appearance.
ABOUT THE PENGUINS (50-24-5): The Penguins beat the Colorado Avalanche in a shootout Sunday night, 3-2.
Otherwise, things have been rather unstable the past few games for the Metropolitan Division champs. The Penguins have endured some late-season injuries, something they and the Red Wings have dealt with all season.
But Pittsburgh's 105 points are enough to lock up the No. 2 playoff seed.

Don't just buy your plants at the Village Gardens green house of Plover. Buy your plants and give yourself extra time to check out the 4.5 acres of unbelievable yard next door.
The whole idea is to give you some ideas of what to do with what you just purchased. Employee Jennifer Young says "Warren Linsmeier went to Europe and saw a lot of gardens and he came back and was inspired to build a garden like that."
This garden features a spectacular water feature at the center and sculpture garden. There's statuary. It also has perennials that are too many to count. But they did manage to count the number of annuals that call it home this year, roughly 4000 of them, not including containers
Everyone who works at the green house pitches in to keep it perfect and all that work provides a very welcome setting.
"You can come here and have a cup of coffee or read the paper. We have people come here during work we bring school groups to the garden," says Young.
It's also, as you might guess, is a popular spot for weddings and wedding pictures.
To start down the path of making your own back yard fit for a wedding the advice is two fold. Don't be afraid to experiment. because you can always replant or replace something that doesn't really work. And don't skimp.
Young says, "if you're gonna plant annuals, I'd recommend planting them in large groups. That doesn't mean you have to plant 4000, but don't plant five marigolds. Get a flat and plant a big swath of color. It'll look a lot better."

This pages and items completely takes that mind bending out of the Joomla experience, and it is a real relief. Not that I could not reach the same results before, but the steps are only 10% and you see all the elements that create a page together, so it is just quick and easy to get the page you want.
If you first use it, have a look at the settings, since attachment by initial default only show to logged in users, which may confuse you at first.
Great tool that is well focused on what it wants to do !
Thank you.
What is great is that you can define several marker points and that it does not require you to learn any complex syntax.
I just would like to see some more configuration possibilities. There is no clear way to change the wording for getting directions and I did not see a way to work with Google KLM files. Yet with these shortcomings I come back to this one after having tried some others.
Also note: This is 1.5 native, many other map plugins seem not to be 1.5 native.
Around the 1st of June there will be a big update on the component.
This new version will have more configuration possibilities and 2 more views, plus more.
I had worked with Gavick first, which is ultimately promising a more flashy presention, but Phoca works and the site and author are really friendly in a real open source spirit like Joomly itself it. Highly recommended.

British Muslim and Jewish leaders unite over Gaza
Muslim and Jewish leaders in the UK have issued an unprecedented joint statement, calling on both faiths to "export peace" to Gaza.
The Muslim Council of Britain and the Board of Deputies of British Jews made the joint call an open-ended truce was agreed in the Middle East.
Both Israel and Hamas have claimed victory following the recent conflict, which is thought to have claimed the lives of 2,143 Palestinians and 70 Israelis.
The MCB and the BoD said they condemned the civilian casualties and hoped for "lasting peace", while also stating Muslims and Jews should "get to know one another".
The death of every civilian is a tragedy, and every effort should be taken to minimise such losses. The targeting of civilians is completely unacceptable and against our religious traditions. We pray for a speedy end to the current conflict and for a lasting peace for all.
Christians 'forced to hide their beliefs in public'
British Christians are being forced to hide their faith because of "an aggressive form of secularism" in workplaces and public bodies, according to former attorney general Dominic Grieve.
He told The Telegraph: "Some of the cases which have come to light of employers being disciplined or sacked for simply trying to talk about their faith in the workplace I find quite extraordinary."
He added: "I worry that there are attempts to push faith out of the public space. Clearly it happens at a level of local power. You can watch institutions or organisations do it or watch it happen at a local government level. In my view it's very undesirable.
"The sanitisation will lead to people of faith excluding themselves from the public space and being excluded."

Hallo Friends,
Recent survey in Britain says that due to increasing in population (30,000) of Indian Parrot their other domestic birds dont get sufficient food (what a foolish survey) and for this reason they issue a gun license to local public to shoot Indian parrot to reduce the population (this is the only solution they think).
Don't you think we should oppose this.

We must oppose this. But our present day government will always follow the pacify policy. I do not why India keep on pacifying with Britain and USA.Answered by Shailja Rathore, 18 Jun '08 10:33 am
Get your facts right. In 2007 it was reported that about 30,000 of the bright green rose-ringed parakeets lived in London, with more in Surrey and Kent, and their numbers could reach 50,000 by 2010. Increasing flocks will compete with native birds, such as woodpeckers and robins, for food and nesting space. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) said it had not ruled out a cull as a "last resort". "We do see a cull as a last resort, something only to be considered if a native species were to be under threat." The RSPB has said that there is a single roost of 6,000 birds in Esher, Surrey. I have in fact seen this roost of birds. "Natural England" the licensing body for bird culls, said they would usually be killed by shooting, or possibly trapping and ONLY if necessary. It is against the law for members of public to shoot these birds. Originally from India, the rose-ringed parakeet has been in Britain for decades, although it is unclear ...moreAnswered by Janis, 20 Jun '08 07:04 pm
