Well, gcc-4.1.1 was unmasked yesterday, and so far it looks like everything went very smooth. It appears that I was wrong about one thing though, mixing gcc-3.4 and 4.1 doesn't seem to be the greatest idea, so you should follow the GCC Upgrading Guide that we have. A few people ran into some strange issues that were resolved by recompiling with gcc-4.1.1, so it is probably best that everyone does that. Now that 4.1.1 is out the door, I'm hoping to stable gcc-3.4.6 on x86 this weekend, and then looking at the remaining GCC bugs we have open. Hopefully the next GCC we will be marking stable will be 4.1.1. :)
In the past week or so everyone has stepped up and done a lot of work, and because of that, we only have 4 bugs left :) wolf31o2 and tsunam both handled marking KDE stable for x86, which is a huge task, so thanks to them for handling that huge pain in the ass.
Now that we have a pretty streamline process for getting packages marked stable quickly we can start to look at doing some more QA related activities. It would be very cool, in my opinion, if we went around and tried to find all of those random packages that haven't been touched in years and don't even compile or work. I'd also really like for us to continue doing periodic checks on everything we have marked stable to ensure everything is still working and that we didn't miss anything when we were marking it, or something else that may affect it, stable.
Well, after our GLEP was passed, things have been quietly going on for us now, doing what we can to help out where needed. Recently we got the Gentoo Devmanual converted from RST into XML, so it will be easier for us to maintain. plasmaroo and myself both did the entire conversion, but the original content was mostly written by Ciaran McCreesh, along with other contributors. If you find any errors, have some suggestions, or new content you want in the manual, please email plasmaroo and myself. Also check out the contributing page if you want to send us new content.

You can not escape the Wood Badge experience without hearing "Game with a purpose" at least 100 times and the reason is that all of it is a Game with a purpose. Scouting is a Game with a purpose and so when you do Scouting you should always play the game.
Young men learn better when they are engaged in play. The develop teamwork, practice fairness, express a healthy competitive spirit, get physically fit, and above all have fun.
Every game we play in Scouting can be a learn adventure. A simple game of Sharks and Minos can be a lesson in team work, fair play, and fitness.
Games that require skills and provide a mental challenge are great ways to build the team, test leadership, and communication.
In short, this game that we play has meaning, a purpose. To support the Aims of Scouting.
Tonight our SPL and JASM had a great game for the troop during their interpatrol competition time. Straw rockets. A simple game that required the Patrol leaders to communicate, assign tasks, follow through with the project. Each Patrol was given a brown paper bag and told to use the contents to move their rocket down a line that was suspended between two chairs.
In the bags were 2 straws, 2 balloons, some tape, and 2 paper clips.
The Patrols went at it. They had 14 minutes to build their rockets and have them ready to launch.
The Patrols that worked together and stayed focused on the task did well, the patrols that made the choice to mess around did not. One of the Patrols had a real cool looking rocket and it won. They worked well together, assigned tasks and proved that working together they could accomplish anything.
The SPL conducted a short reflection of the activity before I did the Scoutmaster Minute on Team work.
I love it when we see the game being played and played well.
Play the game!
By the way, in the picture above are the three of the Scouts in the New Scout Patrol being guided by their SPL in the making of their rocket.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Al Lundeen or Ken August, (916) 440-7259
An investigation concluded that inadequate care led to the death of a resident. The facility failed to protect the health and safety of its residents when it did not provide adequate resident supervision. As a result, a patient sustained fatal injuries. (See the investigative report.)
All nursing facilities in California are required to be in compliance with applicable state and federal laws and regulations governing health care facilities. Facilities are required to comply with these standards to ensure quality of care.
California has the statutory authority to impose fines against nursing facilities it licenses as part of enforcement remedies for poor care. State citations that require a civil monetary penalty be imposed are categorized as Class B, A or AA. The associated fines range from $100 to $1,000 for Class B, $2,000 to $20,000 for Class A and $25,000 to $100,000 for Class AA. The citation class and amount of the fine depend upon the significance and severity of the substantiated violation, as prescribed and defined in California law.
By providing nursing facilities it licenses with consequences for substantiated violations, CDPH strives to protect the health and safety of vulnerable individuals. The citation process is part of CDPH's ongoing enforcement efforts in improving the quality of care provided to residents of the state's approximately 1,400 skilled nursing facilities.

Four juniors named Goldwater Scholars
Posted April 25, 2006; 09:42 a.m.
Four Princeton juniors have received Goldwater Scholarships, which are awarded to outstanding students interested in careers in mathematics, the natural sciences or engineering.
The awards were established by the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation in honor of the former U.S. senator. The Goldwater Scholarship is considered the premier undergraduate award in mathematics, the natural sciences and engineering.
The 2006-07 winners from Princeton are:
- Tamara Broderick, a mathematics major from Parma, Ohio, who plans to obtain a Ph.D. in applied mathematics and to encourage promising students in the field of mathematics while conducting her own research;
- Jonathan Charlesworth, a molecular biology major from Richmond, Va., who hopes to earn a Ph.D. in neuroscience and to discover innovative methods of observing brain activity that will explain the neural basis of fundamental cognitive processes;
- Lester Mackey, a computer science major from Wheatley Heights, N.Y., who plans to pursue a Ph.D. in computer science and conduct research in algorithmic analysis and computational complexity to help enable more efficient distribution of digital information; and
- Julie Wu, a molecular biology major from Marlboro, N.J., who will seek an M.D./Ph.D. in molecular biology and will study critical biomedical issues by combining approaches from physics, chemistry, computer science and biology.
They are among 323 sophomores and juniors nationwide to be awarded 2006-07 Goldwater Scholarships. The one- and two-year scholarships will cover the cost of tuition, fees, books and room and board up to a maximum of $7,500 per year.

text: It was supposed to be that junior English teachers would give the ELA and Math Common Core computer assessments, over three days (after two previous changes to the adjusted schedule). Now, we English teachers are only giving the Math (so English teachers don't get to see our subject area's items, nor the Math teachers seeing theirs), but three days may no longer be enough time. Nice.

Subacute thyroiditis involves swelling (inflammation) of the thyroid gland that usually follows an upper respiratory infection.
De Quervain's thyroiditis; Subacute nonsuppurative thyroiditis; Giant cell thyroiditis; Subacute granulomatous thyroiditis
Subacute thyroiditis is a rare condition. It is thought to be caused by a viral infection. The condition often occurs after a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract, such as
Subacute thyroiditis occurs most often in middle-aged women with recent symptoms of a viral respiratory tract infection.
The most obvious symptom of subacute thyroiditis is pain in the neck. Sometimes the pain can spread (radiate) to the jaw or ears. Painful enlargement of the thyroid gland may last for weeks or months.
Other symptoms include:
Symptoms of too much thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism) may include:
Later, symptoms of too little thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism) may occur, including:
Usually thyroid gland function returns to normal. But in some cases hypothyroidism may be permanent.
Laboratory tests early in the course of the disease may show:
Laboratory tests later in the disease may show:
There may be low levels of antithyroid antibodies. Thyroid gland biopsy is usually not needed, but will show a type of inflammation characteristic of this condition. Lab tests should return to normal as the condition goes away.
The purpose of treatment is to reduce pain and inflammation and treat hyperthyroidism, if it occurs. Anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin or ibuprofen are used to control pain in mild cases.
More serious cases may need temporary treatment with steroids (for example, prednisone) to control inflammation. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism are treated with a class of medications called beta blockers (for example, propranolol, atenolol). Antithyroid drugs or thionamides are not effective in treating this condition.
The condition should improve on its own. However, the illness may last for months. Long-term or severe complications do not usually occur.
Call your health care provider if:

Delicious pears roasted with cheese and herbs filling for hot appetizers that are ready in less than an hour!
*A melon baller or the tip of a teaspoon works well to core the pears. Be sure to make a hollow big enough to hold 2 teaspoons of the cheese.
Explore the options for making this beautiful and sophisticated side dish:
•Two cans (15 oz each) canned pear halves can be substituted for the fresh pears. Drain liquid from pears and drain pears, flat sides down, on paper towels. Follow directions in step 1--except fill hollow with cheese now. Roast 15 minutes or until pears and cheese are hot; sprinkle pears with nuts.
•Blue cheese, garlic-and-herb spreadable cheese or chives-and-onion cream cheese can be substituted for the Gorgonzola cheese.
The ripe firm pears should not be hard, but should also not be as soft and ambrosial as a pear would be for eating out of hand. If your pears are too hard, let them ripen a day or two longer. These delicious pears would also make an elegant first course or can even be placed on salad greens for a unique salad.

Once in the proverbial blue moon, someone writes a first book, gets an agent, and scores a six-figure, multi-book deal, all in the course of a few weeks. For most writers, it takes years, even decades, for that first sale to happen. During that time we deal with lots of people telling us our baby is butt ugly. We try to develop a Teflon-coated skin to keep the rejections from getting to us, but it's hard. Part of what makes us writers is our emotional awareness. Who among us hasn't cried while reading or writing a poignant scene? That same heightened sense of emotion is what makes it so difficult for us to deal with rejection.
If you HAVE to write, if writing is as much a part of you as eating, sleeping, and breathing, then keep writing. But know that you may never get published.
Eventually, an agent liked my work enough to offer me representation. By this time, I had several manuscripts ready for publication. But the rejections continued to pour in. No longer were they form letters, though. I was now receiving rejections filled with praise. The following are comments made about one book:
-- …many intriguing elements involved in this contemporary romance.
-- …a solid writer. She creates an intriguing world that is full of interesting and compelling characters.
-- …the author caught my attention right away with the opening scene and held it with her strong, engaging writing style.
But no matter how praise-filled the letters, they were still rejection letters. Few editors indicated the same reason for rejecting, so there was no clear clue as to what was wrong with each manuscript. What one editor praised, another mentioned as the reason for rejecting.
Here are some of the reasons given for rejecting the same book:
-- I didn't find the characters compelling enough.
-- The heroine isn't as sympathetic as I'd wish.
-- I felt (the romance) had a "too good to be true" quality.
-- The writing is not as strong as that of other submissions currently under consideration
-- (The hero) was completely unconvincing.
-- The story line didn't hold any appeal for me.
-- The emotional conflict was not as strongly developed as it needed.
Do I have luck or what?
Sadly, it's not good enough to write the best book you can. And it's not good enough to have an agent who believes in your work. If your book doesn't wind up on the right editor's desk on the right day, you don't win the publishing lottery.
And just because you've sold a book, there's no guarantee that you'll sell another. The rejections don't stop after your first sale. My first two books received dozens of fabulous reviews. Both won awards. Yet after having a release in 2006 and another in 2007, I didn't sign another contract until 2009.
So if you can't handle the rejection, get out now while you still can. If you have the tenacity to continue writing against all odds, then each time you receive a rejection letter, pull up your big girl (or big boy) pants, sit your butt back down in front of the computer, and keep writing. If the writing gods are smiling down on you, your efforts will eventually pay off.

Finished these today.
The wormy one is a punky/spalted oak from an old barn beam. It is a slate over glass.
The other is 1270 y/o oak that is a slate over glass. They both sound very nice, but the wormy one is a super sweet sounding call.

By Raina Hanna/The Associated Press
Looking more like a doctor in a medical science lab than a farmer, Ben Dickey, of Dickey Mushroom Farms, explains that growing mushrooms is more science than gardening.
"We have a sterile lab where I do all my cultures. We have to shower before we go in and wear scrubs. We start out with test tubes and a tiny little piece of what looks like a cobweb near the root of the mushroom," he said.
The painstaking process is done at the farm, located in Potts Camp, Miss., and is necessary to make sure no there are no other fungi in the environment. In addition to the sterile lab, the facility had to have special humidifiers and cooling systems.
Dickey said when he first started growing mushrooms, about seven years ago, he did so on logs, outdoors, seasonally. Now he and his wife Nichole grow them, year-round, on 5-pound wood blocks that have been through an autoclave.
Dickey, previously a culinary instructor, cooked with mushrooms for years before starting to grow his own. The couple did a vast amount of research including a trip to Washington state, where they met with Paul Stamets, a nationally renowned mycologist and creator of www.fungi.com. Mycology is the branch of botany that deals with fungi. Stamet was happy to share with them the tricks of the trade and more about the benefits of eating mushrooms, Dickey said.
"He (Stamets) told us that his mom had been diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer and given three months to live when he started supplementing her conventional treatments with the turkey tail mushroom. This was six, seven years ago, and she's still alive," Dickey said.
Much of their sales are to restaurants like the Elegant Farmer, in Memphis. They have also added mushroom teas, seasoning powders and tinctures (alcoholic mushroom extracts) that they sell along with their fresh and sun-dried mushrooms at local farmers markets.
Among their wares are gourmet Lion's Mane, King, Golden, Pearl, Phoenix, and Pink Oysters; Shitake, Pioppinos and Morels.
Sherri McCalla, of Nesbit, first purchased mushrooms from the Dickey's at the Memphis Botanical Gardens market.
"I always like to talk to the people who grow what I'm eating and hear about the care they take in growing. Ben and Nichole are both very knowledgeable. It's not the cheapest route, but it's local," she said.
McCalla, an assistant horticulturist at the Botanic Gardens, said buying locally grown foods is very important to her.
"Food that is shipped in from other countries I know has been irradiated to reduce mold, and that's like standing in front of the microwave when cooking we really don't know what the long-term effects of that could be. Then they package it and store it then burn so much fuel to ship it. To me, the Dickey's local grown mushrooms just taste fresher and the texture is so much better," she said.
McCalla said she likes the Farm's Shitakes and the powdered sun-dried mushrooms, which she likes to add to soup. She also likes the fact the couple also gives out recipes and cooking instructions.
"When we started we also grew some heirloom vegetables, but a lot of people do that, there really are not a lot of people that are dedicated to just growing mushrooms because the science knowledge you need. Starting up a lab takes a lot of research and learning," he said.
Business is going so well that the Dickeys are continually expanding. What started as a hobby is now a thriving business supplying mushrooms to the Tri-State area. The Dickeys also teach seminars on mushrooms, their health benefits, how to grow them, how to cook them and how they can be used to benefit the environment. For example, he said, mushrooms planted after a forest fire help restore the ecosystem more quickly.

Significantly situated next to a lush and tranquil taro patch, UH Mānoa's Hawai'inuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge appropriately nurtures the roots of the native culture that makes these islands so special. And, in four short years, there's no question the school has also made great strides in boosting its extramural fund to $3 million in contracts and grants. Now, the Native Hawaiian Student Services at UH Mānoa is one of five recipients of an Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) grant to help improve conditions for Native Hawaiians.
OHA's Board of Trustees recently awarded $1.8 million in grant money to a combined total of five programs aimed at helping Native Hawaiians improve their health, education and economic self-sufficiency.
One of the awards went to Hawai'inuiākea: Namely, $180,000 over two years to Native Hawaiian Student Services to fund an internship program designed to assist about 40 Native Hawaiian students with their unified goal of graduating from college within a 2-to-4 year timeframe. The name of the program, Aka Lehulehu, refers to a well-worn path created by a mentor and literally refers to "shadowing." Aka Lehulehu focuses on providing internships to undeclared, upper division Native Hawaiian students to help them clarify their values and work toward self-efficacy and a major—thereby, supporting the 2-to-4 year graduation time line.
Another grant of $500,000 over two years was awarded to UH Mānoa to fund the Partnerships to Improve Lifestyle Interventions (PILI) 'Ohana Program. The aim of PILI 'Ohana is to integrate community wisdom and expertise with scientific methods to conduct research on health disparities, with a specific emphasis on obesity, in Native Hawaiian, Filipinos, Chuukese and other Pacific Islanders.
The PILI 'Ohana program represents a partnership between 10 community-based organizations throughout the State of Hawai'i and a team of academic researchers from the UH Mānoa Department of Native Hawaiian Health (DNHH) at the John A. Burns School of Medicine.
The funds cover a two-year period and target programs that are expected to directly benefit an estimated 1,810 Native Hawaiians. Each of the five programs will receive between $179,700 and $ 500,000 over the next two years.
Hawai'inuiākea is the youngest school at UH Mānoa, established in 2007 by combining the Departments of Hawaiian Studies and Hawaiian Language. Both academic units offer bachelor's and master's degrees that serve an estimated 200 students majoring in Hawaiian Language, with the same number majoring in Hawaiian Studies. An additional 1,600 students take classes within the program to fulfill general requirements for other majors.

Could be a hardware issue. Anything noteworthy in Event log?
Having a XP related problem. My computer has constantly been rebooting itself. No blue screen of death, no error messages, no nothing. Just stops what ever it's doing and goes into reboot mode. Usually when this happens, it will keep keep doing over and over again. Sometimes I get to login,, sometimes I don't even get as far as the Windows XP menu. It varies.
I've tried Safe mode. Sometimes it works and I can login in, but other times it even reboots in safe mode.
Think it might be a drive issue. Happened before so I erased and reformatted the drive and reinstalled everything when something similar happened late last year.. Things worked fine again until a couple of days ago. Not sure what went wrong. Tried to open another window and then it just started again. Computer sometimes sounds like a engine that's reving.
Got on for a few hours yesterday and no problems but once again tried to run two programs at once at the computer went reboot whacky again. The first time it happened two days ago I went in to safe mode and did a scan disk check. No problems. Came back later things were fine. Tried the same trick yesterday but didn't work this time. XP says the disc is fine so nt sure.
Any ideas?

Bling Goes Bold
Wedding Jewelry with Attitude
Wedding magazines are bigger than ever and filled with page after page of fresh ideas, most of them rendered in white—a virtual snowstorm of options. From the dress to the silk slingbacks to the jewelry, you could mix and match entire schools of design and philosophies of fashion, and as long as white is your co-pilot, you can't possibly go wrong.
White is a stunning color to be sure, and if it loves you, by all means wear it—your skin will benefit from its illuminating qualities. But if your inner bride is thirsting for something beyond white—perhaps a splash of aqua or fuchsia?—go ahead and indulge your fantasy. You'll pump up the glam factor in your ensemble by adding color, and you'll avoid looking like a production-line cupcake. After all, a wedding is an exuberant, passionate affair, not to mention the ultimate opportunity to strut your signature style and rule your runway.
Sure, you say. I'd love to inject a little color into the mix. And yet, like so many brides, you end up nixing the idea and defaulting to the predictable refuge of a classic all-white look. Why? If color in wedding jewelry and accessories is so hip and happening, then what's keeping you from taking the plunge? Here's our "dime store psychologist" explanation: The left side of your brain pleads "safety," while the right side screams "sexy." You want to exude glamour, but you don't want to appear too trendy. You want to evoke Grace Kelly's timeless elegance in your wedding photos, but you don't want to look cookie-cutter. Making the decision to accessorize outside the box is just too scary, so you follow the path of least resistance and say, "Yes, I'll take the simple strand of pearls and the diamond studs, please. They won't compete with the dress, and they're neutral enough for every day."
Neutral? Everyday? For your wedding?
We don't think so!
Tiny Risks = Big Benefits
Ladies, being innovative doesn't mean taking huge risks. We're not asking you to wear a shocking pink peek-a-boo petticoat under your gown, à la Gwen Stefani, but we are asking you to consider pairing colored accessories with a white or colored dress to jazz up your look. You'll get kudos from your fashionista friends for having the guts to do it, and of course you'll get the glory for looking runway fabulous.
But, you ask, what about tradition, family honor, and Mom's pearls (especially if the pearls in question are non-negotiable?) If you must wear them, by all means do, but popping on a pair of ruby and pearl chandeliers turns up the wattage and it's fresh. Mom's happy and you're looking hot, so everybody wins. If you embrace color as your friend, color will reward you in spades.
Getting to Glam
Size, color, shape and scale are all about point of view: those chartreuse shoulder duster earrings that look great on one woman might completely overpower another. To get with the program you'll need to whip out your Elles and Vogues and educate your jewelry eye by creating a Style File that's all about you. Chandelier earrings are still the rage, and look great with a messy updo. Candy-colored cocktail rings that recapture old Hollywood are back with a vengeance. Pearls are the thing for spring, but this time around, they're the size of jawbreakers. So don't think dainty and demure: supersize your gems, and get with the glam. The easiest way to add a little more zing, is a dash of color in your bling.
Operation Extraordinary Bling
We understand that although you may not have Liz Taylor's jewelry budget, you still want something that makes a dramatic W-day statement (you will wear those turquoise-and-diamond chandelier earrings again—at that hot new restaurant with your hubby on date night). To help you out, we've compiled a short list of the rock stars of the rock trade for every price range.
So, ladies, eat a good breakfast, do your sun salutations, grab your Style File, and let's start shopping. Just step into our jet-powered convertible for a journey to a gem-studded galaxy. Some of our picks require a little mouse action, and the rest a quick trip around the Bay Area, easy and breezy. Our savvy style sampling will take you way past basic bling.
Audrey takes the plunge
Breakfast at Tiffany's, a night on the town, and your wedding day all have one thing in common: a necklace that makes a big, bold statement yet is simultaneously "ladylike." These punked-up pearls are not your mothers' prom pearls—they have color, scale and attitude. Rubener Bautista, famed protégé of the late Harry Fireside, knows what women want: reinterpreted tradition with a sense of whimsy, and a nod to retro glam. Why do we love them? You can pile them on, or mix and match as needed for a mere $280 a strand. In gold, green, pink, blue and navy Majorca Pearls with sterling silver and Austrian crystal clasps.
Beach Blanket Bohemian
Just when you thought you were going to deposit that tax refund check into your 401K, you open Elle and see Maria Elena Uzcategui's fabulous Double Gypsy turquoise-and-diamond 18K chandeliers and say to yourself, well I could put this check away for my retirement, but who the hell is going to care how hot I look then? So you rationalize: I can wear them with my Kate Hudson-esque, rich-hippie crinkled silk wedding gown and anytime I want to look sizzling on date night. I can even rock my "Desperate Housewives" look at the Safeway! These are all fiscally sound reasons to spend $2,900 on something real (and real gorgeous) for your wedding day.
Vegas Vixenry
You might almost bet the house on the Bellagio necklace by Forbeadin', it's that perfect. The right mix of marvelous and messy, it's a jumble of freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals and wrapped, gold-filled wire. Why do we love it? It's equally at home at the high rollers table, the Baccarat Lounge, or a beach wedding. Throw it on with a blazer and a pencil skirt after the wedding, and dominate the sales meeting like a Bond girl. Not overly formal, but decidedly glam, the Bellagio weighs in at a modest $625, and is part of a luxury line of atelier creations by Donna Davis, custom tiara designer and jeweler extraordinaire.
Glitterati Gal
If you loved Sharon Stone's glamazon look in Casino, you'll love the cocktail rings at Simayof. These rings are reminiscent of Palm Beach socialites, Valley of the Dolls, ladies who lunch, a chic updo, and martinis by the pool. Pair a My Michelle ring with some glittery diamond hoops and a strapless sheath and you are très chic. No need for a necklace—you've made your statement with aplomb (and a wink). Fun cocktail rings in semiprecious stones surrounded by diamonds in 18K white and yellow gold range in price from $3,079 to $5,121. Ladies, if you love these rings as much as we do, raise your right hand!
Greek Goddess
You are Venus rising from the Aegean wearing this 18K yellow gold and lemon citrine pendant from Christensen Heller Galleries. Strung on an amber silk cord, it glows against your tanned skin and sleek white column dress as you walk to meet your fiancé, Apollo. Well, maybe your fiancé is named Jay, but you can still be Venus, evoking another century with the loveliest necklace we've seen in a millennium. It's simple, with a dash of clean Modernism, and we love its color, scale, informality and ability to do double duty: wedding dress and sundress. Retail price: $1,053.

Counter-terrorism investigators probing the twin blasts in Hyderabad's busy Dilsukhnagar shopping area on Thursday have found "useful CCTV footage", while seeing an Indian Mujahideen (IM) imprint on the terror attack.
"The CCTV footage is being analysed to spot the people who planted the bombs," a senior investigator who did not want to named said on Friday.
"There is no conclusive evidence yet, but the use of nitrate-based explosives, shrapnel, bicycles to plant the bombs and the choice of the sites to inflict maximum casualty point to the IM."
Remnants of the bicycles have been sent for forensic examination, while a hunt is on for identifying their buyers and sellers. The IM had used bicycles to execute the May 2008 and August 2012 Pune blasts as well.
Investigators believe the improvised explosive devices had timers and up to one kg of explosives were used at both sites — outside a fast food joint and a bus shelter 100 metres apart. The use of the more lethal RDX (Research Department Explosive) in the blasts has been ruled out.
The blasts were executed around seven months after two alleged IM operatives surveyed the stretch on the directions of the terror outfit's co-chief Riyaz Bhatkal. "On the directions of Riyaz Bhatkal, IM operatives Sayed Maqbool and Imran Khan had done a reconnaissance of some spots in Dilsukhnagar along with two other spots in July 2012 on a motorbike. Due to some logistical reasons, the attack was not carried out then," said the investigator.
"We suspect Maqbool and Imran gave their feedback to Riyaz — hiding in Pakistan after the Batla House encounter in Delhi in 2008 — before the Delhi Police arrested them."
Another investigator said the twin blasts occurred at sites close to a spot where bomb experts had defused a bomb planted on a motorcycle by IM operatives on August 25, 2007. "The same day, two other bombs planted by IM operatives had exploded at fast food eatery Gokul Chat Bhandar and Lumbini amusement park. The August 2007 blasts in Hyderabad were directly supervised by Riyaz."
The investigator pointed out that much like Thursday's attack, the IM had targeted a bus shelter at Kabutarkhana near the Dadar suburban railway station when it executed the Mumbai July 2011 serial blasts.


text: By Janice Shaw Crouse Charlotte Hays' book comes out this week, but I read an early release on Kindle, and it was delightful! Her hilarious comparisons of Old White Trash vs. New White Trash are very entertaining for a Southern-raised lady like me! She traces the spread of White Trash into the mainstream of American culture as the old forms of etiquette gave way to the "anything goes" lifestyles of today. The ultimate wedding gift when I got married, for instance, was silver serving ware; now those tarnished treasures can be bought for cheap prices in thrift stores, because nobody wants to spend the time polishing silver bowls, creamers, or pitchers and, for today's generation, the idea of actually serving tea from a silver tea service or setting a table with multiple choices of eating utensils is laughable. Indeed, I laughed my way through much of the book, except when I was awed by the truthful and penetrating insights that fill every chapter. For instance, a major theme of the book is: "Society crumbles when it takes cues from the underclass." Hays points out all the negative trends that are now mainstream that started among the lower classes. Baggy pants on young men are a version of prison garb - an upward trend moving from the ghetto to the Ivy League. Unwed pregnancy, poor grooming, not working - these were characteristics of trashy people, the old White Trash. The bottom line, for Hays, is that White Trash is the new normal. She is astounded that the television reality show, Honey Boo Boo, attracted more viewers than the GOP convention in 2012. And, it's not just television that has disintegrated; today's table manners, dress, self-restraint, and spending attitudes are all based on values and customs of the lower classes, rather than the "stuffy" elites. Hays has special scorn for tattoos and for self-expression that has degenerated into a stripper mentality and daytime television with steamy scenes and foul language that will curl your hair. Hays reiterates a common White Trash motto: "Hit don't make no difference" which encapsulates an attitude of complacency rather than aspiration. Nothing is worth the discipline it takes to master a skill or reach a goal. Instead of white gloves and a hat for church on Sunday, "hit don't make no difference," just wear jeans or sweat pants. Hays clearly shows that "class" is not a matter of money; being White Trash is purely behavioral and can be spotted in the wealthy as often as among the poor, and it's obvious that trashiness has spread throughout American culture. Charlotte Hays' book, "When Did White Trash Become the New Normal? A Southern Lady Asks the Impertinent Question," (Regnery Publishing), will be out this week.

In focus: Program in Creative Writing
Posted August 21, 2006; 11:49 a.m.
Princeton's renowned Program in Creative Writing offers undergraduate students the unique opportunity to pursue original work in fiction, poetry and translation under the guidance of some of the world's best-known writers.
Among the 15 practicing writers on the program's faculty are Toni Morrison, Paul Muldoon, James Richardson, C.K. Williams, Edmund White, Joyce Carol Oates and Chang-rae Lee, its current director.
The creative writing program provides individualized instruction and workshops of up to 10 students. Each year, approximately 15 to 20 seniors write a creative thesis such as a novel or a collection of short stories, poems or translations. Throughout the academic year, several distinguished poets and novelists come to campus to read from their work. Recent speakers have included Don DeLillo, Jhumpa Lahiri, Dave Eggers and Jonathan Safran Foer, a 1999 Princeton graduate whose debut novel, "Everything Is Illuminated," grew out of his senior thesis.
"The creative writing program was one of the best parts of my
academic experience at Princeton," Elizabeth Landau, a member of
Princeton's class of 2006, wrote on the program's Web site. "In fiction
workshops I had the opportunity to receive guidance from authors I
admire, and to read the stellar work of my peers.
"I had always dreamed of writing a novel, and through the senior thesis program my dream came true," Landau wrote. "It is incredible to watch your own novel grow over the course of a year, beginning with a few ideas over the summer. Joyce Carol Oates has been a wonderful adviser and mentor. I am so happy I came to Princeton just to have these kinds of opportunities to become a better writer, and to work with some of my favorite authors one-on-one."
The program began in 1939, when English professor R.P. Blackmur set up a creative arts program that was, from the outset, notable for the distinction of its faculty. Blackmur's first "general adviser" was Allen Tate, who was followed by writers such as John Berryman, William Meredith, Robert Fitzgerald, Sean O'Faolain, Richard Eberhart, Kingsley Amis and Philip Roth.
In 1965, Edmund Keeley became director of the creative writing program, as it had become known, and was joined in 1966 by Theodore Weiss as a resident fellow. Together they expanded the program, bringing in such distinguished writers as Elizabeth Bowen, Thom Gunn, Anthony Burgess, Galway Kinnell and Russell Banks.
Today the program plays an integral role in a major initiative to enhance the creative and performing arts at the University. Princeton earlier this year established a new University Center for the Creative and Performing Arts and named Muldoon, the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, as its founding chair. In this role, Muldoon -- who directed the creative writing program from 1993 to 2002 -- oversees, coordinates and encourages exchange among the programs in creative writing, theater and dance, and visual arts.

Child Traffic Safety - Compare and Contrast
Netherlands-based Mark Wagenbuur has just uploaded another fascinating video on his youtube channel, this time about child traffic training in the Netherlands. Little needs to be said, except that Mark states towards the end that there were 15 child traffic deaths last year in the Netherlands. This compares with 124 in the UK in 2008. The UK population is 61.4m, the Netherlands 16.5m. Do your maths. Then have a look a look at this video and think for a second about how it differs from the UK.
The vast amount of energy, money and peoples' focus on self-defence measures for cyclists in the UK appears to be diverting us from the real problems.

It's also worth pointing out that the Dutch kids are out and about an awful lot more than British kids.
The rate of riding to school locally is virtually 100%, whatever the weather.
The potential for children to be injured is therefore much higher in the Netherlands, but it doesn't happen nearly so often because the whole basis for road safety is different.

"The potential for children to be injured is therefore much higher in the Netherlands,"
Not really. Did you watch the video?

- Inconvenient Truth said...
Don't get the last comment. If nearly 100% of children cycle to school in the Netherlands, but only 5% in the UK, surely the "potential" for injury whilst cycling is much greater???

Posted February 28, 2003; 04:59 p.m.
journalist Ann Crittenden will speak on "The Price of Motherhood: Why the Most Important Job in the World is Still the Least Valued" at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 4, in 16 Robertson Hall.
She is the author of the 2001 book by the same title. Drawing on hundreds of interviews around the country and research in economics, history, child development and law, she makes the case that mothers are systematically disadvantaged and undervalued by society.

One of the men involved in the Molotov cocktail attack in Jennings earlier this year has been charged with violating conditions of his bond, authorities said.
Lesley Isiah Barker Jr., 18, was arrested Monday by the Jeff Davis Parish Sheriff's Office.
Barker, of Gray, and 18-year-old Kristopher Watkins, of Jennings, were arrested in February after they allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at a home in Jennings.
The men were charged with aggravated arson, conspiracy to commit aggravated arson and manufacturing of a delayed-action incendiary device.
Jennings Police Chief Todd D'Albor said at the time that bricks had been thrown through a window at the same residence on two previous occasions.
"There were two people in the house when the incendiary device was being thrown," D'Albor said. "There was also potential for the house to catch fire, and it could have led to fatal actions."
The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office reported the following arrests:
• Johnny Joseph Domingue, 43, 2429 May St., Westlake — intimidating, impeding or injuring witnesses or officers. Bond: $100,000.

Yields 40 rectangular cookies or 24 cookie wedges
Cardamom adds just a subtle intriguing note to classic shortbread.
For rectangular cookies, lightly butter the bottom of a straight-sided 9x13-inch baking pan. For wedges, lightly butter two 9-1/2-inch fluted tart pans with removable bottoms.
Combine the flour, cornstarch, cardamom, and salt in a medium bowl.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until the dough begins to form moist clumps, about 1 minute.
Turn the dough out into the prepared pan (if making wedges, divide the dough between the two pans). Using lightly floured fingertips, press the dough into the pan(s) to form an even layer.
For rectangular cookies, use a bench knife or a paring knife to cut the dough all the way through into 40 bars. With the tines of a fork, prick each bar twice all the way through, spacing the holes evenly and on the diagonal. Lightly flour the tines as necessary to prevent the dough from sticking
For wedges, cut each pan of dough all the way through to form 12 wedges. With the tines of a fork, prick the wedges three times all the way through, spacing the holes evenly over the dough.
Freeze the dough while the oven heats. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 325°F.
Bake the dough, rotating the pan(s) halfway through, until the top(s) looks dry and goldenbrown, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer the pan(s) to a rack. Using a paring knife or bench knife, immediately re-cut the cookies along the lines. Cool completely before removing them from the pan(s).
Once the dough is pressed into the pan and cut, it can be wrapped and refrigerated for 1 day or frozen for up to 1 month. If freezing the dough, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
Baked and cooled cookies can be layered between sheets of parchment or waxed paper in an airtight container and stored at room temperature for up to 4 days.

I bet you thought I forgot about Crazy Eyeris, right?Or maybe YOU forgot about Crazy Eyeris
I have not written about my journey to derby since March 8, 2012. Yes, I feel a little like a loser. It seems that life was getting in the way of… well… life! Turns out building a business, working two part-time jobs, and keeping up with two kids and a house was leaving little room for workout time. Or much else for that matter. And since I was basically starting from sedentary, I really needed to get some strength back before derby workshops.Now I have FINALLY got this shit figured out.
You see, all you really need to do to find time is dig really deep to find what is REALLY important to you, and decide to do it. For me, I had to say, "I will not work 12 hours a day. I will take time in the morning to get my family going, and then I WILL work out." (Here's another really important part of this puzzle: I was scared of failing. There, I said it. I still am scared, but we don't need to discuss it any further, because I'm moving on.)And so here I am, almost a year later, hopping back on the track.
I have been working out at home, and I feel pretty good with what I have here – an elliptical, stairs, a house I can actually run laps in, weights, the resistance of my own body. No gym is required, and I have the added benefit of having my children witness me taking care of myself. I work out in the morning, and sometimes the kids join me, sometimes they dance, sometimes they just eat and watch me and try not to laugh. Generally we listen to the Pop and Hip Hop Power Workout station on Pandora, but that is getting a little old. I seriously need to get my iPod together and get a good playlist going. I'm hoping you can help. Here is my top ten so far!The Crazy Eyeris Playlist, Part 1
Pump It - Black Eyed Peas
Rock that Body – Black Eyed Peas
Moves Like Jagger – Maroon Five
Move Ya Body – Nina Sky
Bulletproof (Dave Aude Cherry Radio Remix) – LaRoux
Let the Bodies Hit the Floor – Drowning Pool
Whip It – Devo
Stronger – Kanye West
Like a G6 – Far East Movement
Let it Rock – Kevin RudolfThere you have it. What would you add to this list?

- Description
A very curious roadcut. On the left side of the cut the Fort Hays Limestone depositionally overlies the Blue Hill Shale. On the west side of the cut Codell sandstone is exposed in the footwall of an eastward dipping fault. Slickensides on the fault surface suggest dip-slip offset. Thing is, where it does occur the Codell sandstone normally occurs depositionally between the Blue Hill and Fort Hays. Makes this a real head scratcher...

World Bank president to discuss poverty, May 3-4
Posted April 26, 2001; 03:06 p.m.
James Wolfensohn, president of the World Bank, will present two lectures on campus Thursday and Friday, May 3-4.
On Thursday, he will discuss "Poverty in an Age of Plenty" at 7:30 p.m. in McCosh 10. The seventh annual William Bowen Lecture is sponsored by the Center for Jewish Life.
On Friday, he will lecture on "Tackling World Poverty" at 10 a.m. Friday, May 4, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall. The event is the 10th lecture in the Priscilla Glickman '92/Ivy Club Speaker Series.
Since becoming president of the World Bank Group in 1995, Wolfensohn has traveled to more than 100 countries to gain firsthand experience of the challenges facing the bank and its 182 member countries.
In 1996, together with the International Monetary Fund, he initiated the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Initiative. It was the first comprehensive debt reduction program to address the needs of the world's poorest, most heavily indebted countries.
In 1999, Wolfensohn introduced the Comprehensive Development Framework, a holistic, long-term and country-owned approach that focuses on building stronger participation and partnerships to reduce poverty.
Prior to joining the World Bank, Wolfensohn was an international investment banker. He is chair of the board of trustees of the Institute for Advanced Study.

Independents backing away from Obama
July 9, 2009 - 8:35am.
Independent voters are taking a second look at President Barack Obama and they don't like what they see.
Obama's popularity among Americans now stands at 56 percent -- his lowest since taking office -- and some predict the President's job approval rating could fall below 50 percent by Labor Day -- a monumental slide for the young leader.


text: Okay, Sunday it is. Pulling second shift, but I *do* get a lunch break, so I'm happily doing this and knowing it's on my time and not company time. Sound silly worrying about it? Not to me. I'm a sysadmin, and we by definition HAVE to hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards. Wow, dramatic, eh? But it's true; how else can I look at a user and complain about his quota usage, if I'm stockpiling gig's of MP3's on the fileserver? Same thing goes for not ever working on personal stuff except during lunch break, etc. Sure, I could make the case AGAINST myself that I'm using company bandwidth just by looking at this page and submitting this post, but I'm willing to assume that I'm allowed to use THAT much company bandwidth for personal uses; we DO have a company policy allowing a certain percentage of personal calls and surfing :-) If anyone actually READS this post, take a minute, and make sure you're keeping your work up to the ethical standards it needs to be at. If not, don't burn yourself at the stake, but just remember it as you go, and work towards a goal. Sure, I like to read BOFH as much as the next guy, but do we really want to live in that environment? Remember, the finance guy could start taking the same liberties in HIS job!

From Betty's Soul Food Collection... Soup's on! And tonight it's a super-simple chowder that warms you up, body and soul. Add a loaf of bread to sop up every last drop, and you've got a hearty meal!
Leeks are related to both garlic and onions; they have a milder, sweeter flavor than onions. Use the white bulb portion as well as the green stem up to the dark green leaves. Dirt gets caught between the layers as the leek pushes its way out of the ground. Slit the leek in several places from the bulb up, and thoroughly rinse away the hidden dirt.
Four frozen hash brown patties can be used in place of the southern-style hash browns. Break them into pieces before adding them to the chowder.
