Pine River-Backus to implement STRIVE program
Pine River-Backus School announces the implementation of the Rotary STRIVE program this fall.
The Students Taking a Renewed Interest in the Value of Education (STRIVE) program will be coordinated by Central Lakes Rotary members Richard Teegen and Steven Hansen and their spouses.
The STRIVE program focuses on assisting a selected group of seniors to develop a clear path to graduation and life beyond. The STRIVE program is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Central Lakes in partnership with the Pine River-Backus High School principal, guidance counselor and upper class teachers as well as volunteers from the Central Lakes Rotary community.
The leaders and mentors will meet with the selected group of seniors twice each month, September through May. Speakers will address topics such as goal setting, study habits, test taking, making choices, interviewing for employment, career opportunities, personal roadmap, the power of positive thinking, free enterprise, job opportunities, money management, perseverance and self worth.
"We are very pleased to be able to offer the STRIVE program in conjunction with the Central Lakes Rotary Club," said PR-B High School Principal Trent Langemo. "As we looked at the STRIVE program's structure and focus, we found it fits very well with many of the points of our educational program goals, helps increase community involvement in education, and provides scholarships for students that successfully complete the program when established goals are attained."
STRIVE participants who successfully complete the program will be awarded Central Lakes Rotary scholarships. In addition, if a participant elects to attend Central Lakes College, his or her scholarship program will match the Rotary scholarship amount awarded.
The Central Lakes Rotary Club is excited to be able to offer the STRIVE program in the PR-B School District, said Rotary President Al Ploeger.
"The STRIVE coordinators, Richard Teegen and Steven Hansen, have been working for nearly a year developing and refining the STRIVE program, specifically for PR-B based on the experiences and successes of other Minnesota Rotary clubs with their local school systems," he said.
The Central Lakes Rotary Club will host a fundraising event Friday, July 26, for the STRIVE scholarships. Those interested in attending the fundraising event are asked to contribute $25 or more per person and contact Richard Teegen at 218-682-2863 or Steven Hansen at 218-947-4477.
Those unable to attend but who wish to provide financial support for STRIVE scholarships can mail their contribution to: Central Lakes Rotary Foundation, P.O. Box 587, Pequot Lakes, MN 56435.

In 1995, Steve and Teresa Braun opened the Detail Doctor, an automotive detail shop.
They expanded into windshield replacement and repair two years later, and over the years, the business has continued to expand. Today, the main business is called Tupelo Tint, which Steve runs. The Blind Side belongs to Teresa.
And the business continues to install and repair automotive glass.
Tupelo Tint, as its name suggests, installs tint in vehicles of all makes and models.
But the biggest portion of business installing the exclusive Huper Optik tint to homes and business.
"If it's glass, we can tint it," Steve Braun said.
The Blind Side is the area's authorized dealer for Hunter Douglas blinds, shades and shutters. The Braun's exclusive products have attracted customers not only across the region and state, but across the country.
"We've tinted in Dallas, we've been in Shreveport, we've coordinated a job in California. … we're national," Steve Braun said.
No wonder that Tupelo Tint was named Huper Optik's 2012 small market National Synergy Award – a recognition for being the national dealer of the year. Both businesses have developed a loyal following, and the Brauns say there's a reason behind it.
"When people come in here, they deal with the same people from start to finish," Teresa Braun said.
"The key is customer service. … we don't try to sell you something just to sell," Steve Braun said. "We want to help you."

Bernstein Research technology analyst Toni Sacconaghi, who follows Apple (AAPL), and has an Outperform rating and a $725 price target on the stock, was on CNBC a short while ago being quizzed about technology stocks' relative underperformance as the broader market hits new highs. He was followed almost immediately by Collin Gillis of BGC Financial, who has a Hold rating on Apple stock and a Hold rating on Google (GOOG) as well.
Sacconaghi was asked first about the broad view on tech:
Look, I think a rising tide lifts all boats. Technology, ex-ing out Apple, has performed largely in line with the market. We think tech is inexpensive relative to the market, in fact it's at a 30-year low, and we do think the sector is attractive.
The rest of the segment then proceeded to a discussion of Apple. When Sacconaghi was asked if he thinks the stock could go lower, he said yes:
In the short term, Apple is at an interesting inflation point. Investors are clamoring for Apple to return more cash. They have created an expectation they could return materially more cash. If they do, the stock could move up by $40 or $50. If there's no incremental cash return before the earnings report in April, or if it's only modestly higher, I think you see the stock trading lower. The numbers for the June quarter are too high, and so the specter of guidance that might come in lower could push the stock below $400. The stock's very inexpensively valued and an exceptional value for long-term investors. But it is still owned mostly by growth investors, and they need to see new product, and incremental upside for revenue. Those might include new carriers, or a converged device that blends a tablet and a notebook might be one such possibility. That would create a lot of excitement because it would renew prospects for growth. Right now, their principal products, at the high end of the smartphone market, are facing maturing product cycles.
Asked whether Apple is simply prey to whatever Google (GOOG) might unveil going forward, Sacconaghi took exception to the notion:
Well, I think Apple announcements often carry more than the average weight. You have to remember that 60% to 70% of profit for Apple comes from one product, the iPhone. And so clearly a major announcement, such as new carriers for the iPhone, or a lower-priced iPhone, could meaningfully turn the tide for Apple.
For his part, Gillis warned that there may be a time to buy Google below $800 in coming months:
In the March quarter for three years in a row, there has been a 10% sell-off following the earnings report. Google tends to be seasonally stronger in the latter half of the year, thanks to back-to-school, back-to-shopping, when advertisers are willing to pay more.
Gillis was asked about rumors that Google is trying to make an end run around Amazon.com (AZMN) and introduce a service to bring goods from retailers direct to your door, and whether that would be a "huge change" for Google's business:
Absolutely [It's a huge change]. Google has their fingers in a lot of pies. Their core business is slowing down. Look at Google.com revenue, it was below 20% growth, year on year, in the last 2 quarters. But investors get excited seeing them chasing after new revenue opportunities. And Amazon is now becoming a trusted starting point, which means that people don't need to use Google as much, and Google is losing those high-value clicks.
As for Apple, Gillis was asked if the stock is starting to put in a bottom, Gillis said "It's certainly starting to feel like that."
"It's been a bit of a falling knife, though. Every time you want to catch it, it drops down another 10 points."
Gillis asserted that "There is bound to be some news out of this company," and when he was asked by CNBC's Melissa Lee why the company is bound to introduce something, Gillis responded, "Because it's what they do for a living."
"They have $137 billion in cash, and unless they're going to burn it, they've got to give it back to investors. Now, it is reasonable you will see some news flow out of this company in the spring time frame."
Gillis was also asked if the company's dividend should "have a 4 handle":
It's a great question. When the dividend was first announced last year, the move to the upside surprised me. Normally, a dividend increase doesn't give you that boost. If they raised the dividend by 50%, and got about a 3.7% yield, that would be seen as in line with high quality corporate bonds, that would give you a good lift.
Apple shares today are rising with a robust market, up $9.22, or 2%, at $429.27. Google shares are up $12.50, or 1.5%, at $834.

Talk focuses on women and war
Posted December 3, 2008; 06:22 p.m.
"Taking Women Seriously to Make Sense of the Iraq War" is the title of a talk by Cynthia Enloe, a professor of international development and director of women's studies at Clark University, set for 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 11, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Enloe's teaching and research focus on the interplay of women's politics in the national and international arenas, with special attention on women's labor in globalized factories and how women's labor has been used to support governments' war-waging policies.
Enloe has been named Clark's Outstanding Teacher of the Year three times. In 2007, she received the International Studies Association's Susan Strange Award, which recognizes scholars who challenge conventional wisdom and intellectual and organizational complacency in the international studies community.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Gender and Policy Network.

One South Carolina man was worried enough that when he took his 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS in for service at a Chevy dealer, he hid a voice recorder in the car. He was right to be worried: The recorder caught mechanics doing burnouts and discussing how to make the owner pay for a ruined clutch the car didn't have before coming in. Now the Internet Justice League has taken the wheel.
This time, the voice recorder hidden in the door pocket catches employees doing several burnouts and hard launches in the Camaro; Smith later says the techs drove it harder in 20 minutes than he had in three years. Once back in the shop, the mechanics realize the Camaro's clutch has been fried, and come up with a plan to blame the damage on Smith, saying to "write it up as him buying a (expletive) clutch," while saying another part failed under warranty so that General Motors would pay for its replacement.

Loreauville is not the force they were hyped to be. I'd like to see some of the competition they played this season. Either their competition was horrible, or U-High is just that good!
If we get Fournette in 2014 and Brossette in 2015,
quote:I never got bent out of shape. I just get tired of people perpetuating the myth that SIMPLY because a school has more A's behind it than another, it defines the quality of the athletes. Just because a football team dresses 100 players, the large number doesn't automatically make them skilled players. 90 of them could be extremely shitty players. If the number of A's a team has meant the dominance of lesser team, U-High would not have beaten Live Oak, East Ascension, or Brusly this season! If an athete is good, he is good on a weekly basis. If he is shitty, he's shitty on a weekly basis. Where he goes to school makes no difference! He will be good or shitty in 1A or 5A.
Not picking a fight Wildman but this is what people were posting back in the summer and you were getting all bent out of shape defending the quality of 2A football.

The Western Regional Office (WRO) of the USDA Food Stamp Program conducted an administrative review of State operations and selected local projects from the 2004 state plans for the California Nutrition Network and Food Stamp Outreach. This involved office and site visits at the California Department of Health Services, the California Department of Social Services, the Public Health Institute, and eight contractors conducted between March and May, 2006. The local contractors -- three non-profits, two school districts, a local health department, one Indian tribal organization, and a community college district -- were chosen to reflect the larger class of participating agencies in major program delivery channels. The USDA findings with corrective actions and recommendations were received in July, and the State provided its formal response to USDA in November, 2006. USDA is currently reviewing the State's response and may seek additional information/clarification from the State.
WRO reported that California continues to operate among the most innovative and comprehensive Food Stamp Nutrition Education (FSNE) programs in the nation. However, USDA noted several areas where we need to make improvements. The State's response reflects our commitments to improve program quality and fiscal integrity at both the State and local-level FSNE offices. The State will track its progress to assure that commitments made to the federal government are met. Network partner agencies are encouraged to review USDA's findings and the State's response paying particular attention to the local contractor findings that are similar to your contract type (schools districts, health department, non-profits).

Christmas is upon us!! How are those Naughty Nights going??
Christmas is commonly a time to make memories… and hopefully you are making some amazing ones with your beloved this year. I trust that there have been moments of sheer joy and certainly a little laughter, and maybe just a hint of frustration or weariness along the way. But I truly hope that you have had a wonderful time as you have invested time in your marriage.
Remember during the frenzy of Christmas day not to overlook your most precious gift… your spouse, your lover, your friend.
So, from our marriage to yours... Have a Very Merry Christmas!
Now how about some more suggestions…
Coming from Behind no pun intended (wife lying on her tummy while hubby lies atop her back, this can be done legs together or apart – or both!)
Full Face Mount For Her (wife lying back on the bed while hubby kneels in front of your face and thrusts gently in your mouth) This is very erotic ladies, enjoy!
Reverse Cowgirl (hubby on his back, wife sits on top facing away from him and 'rides' like a cowgirl) *helpful tip – this may take a moment or two of shifting and repositioning, but stick with it until you figure it out – you will do less 'riding' and more gliding. It's really fab!
Sit Here Baby (hubby sitting in a chair, wife sits on his lap facing away)
Wake Me Up (just as the name implies, ladies wake your hubby in the middle of the night for a little midnight fun, you'll likely find him easily aroused!) This is always good for the second go around.
Between the Breasts (wife lies on her back and pushes her breasts together while hubby sits lightly on her rib cage and glides his penis back and forth between her breasts) Don't forget the lube!
69 Woman On Top (hubby on his back, wife on top with her vulva at his mouth and his penis at her mouth)
On Bended Knee (hubby will get down on one knee, wife gets on both knees in front of hubby, move in close and your genitals should be lined up. This works well when the woman drapes one leg over the hubby's bended knee) This one requires some experimenting, but give it a try; it's a great make-out position.
Stand Me Up (hubby backs wife up against the wall her legs slightly spread hubby enters her and thrusts)

Thank you for sharing these suggestions. Although we have missed a few nights here and there this has helped to keep us excited and has given us something to look forward to, and I really believe it has kept us focused on one another more.
Great blog. Thank you. Merry Christmas.

what about this Board?http://www.e-lins.com/EN/index.html
Dial Up modem's days are long gone but Land line still exists either in the form of home pbx or PSTN, An Arduino based Dial Up modem shield can be used for a lot of fun projects. I'm no electronics expert but modem chips are already available with AT Command support http://www.conexant.com/Product/modems/embmodems/CX93040/Pages/default.aspx I think Arduino can produce this shield in no time what do you think? :~
Radicom specializes in designing and manufacturing modems for embedded system designers, original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and volume corporate users.
I was also investigating the use of warning module arduino that can call another phone without it being rung up and using the ring tone and length of call to issue basic information to another module that listens for ringing and length of ringing .

Daniel Kahneman at the award ceremony
Kahneman has been the Eugene Higgins Professor of Psychology and professor of public affairs in the
Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs
at Princeton University since 1993. He shares the award with Vernon Smith, a professor of economics and law at George Mason University.
In his
congratulatory speech
, Professor Lars-Göran Nilsson cited Kahneman for his contributions, along with the late Amos Tversky, to the field of economic theory. Nilsson, a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, noted that Kahneman and Tversky "conducted a series of classical experiments to reveal how human judgment under uncertainty adheres to systematic rules of thumb or shortcuts."
Prior to receiving the award, Kahneman was congratulated for his important insights and pioneering research that are guiding a reformulation of economic and financial theory. Kahneman then received his medal and diploma from King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden.
A video of Kahneman's Nobel Prize lecture is available on the
Nobel e-Museum
Web site.
Earlier this month, Kahneman earned the 2003 University of Louisville
Grawemeyer Award for Psychology
. Tversky, who was a professor of psychology at Stanford University, shared that award posthumously. The $200,000 prize recognizes outstanding contributions to the field of psychology.
Coverage of Kahneman's
Oct. 9 Nobel Prize announcement
and a previous
news release
are available online.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Terms Of (Ab)Use
Co-authored by Corynne McSherry and Marcia Hofmann
For years, EFF has been warning that the anti-circumvention provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act can be used to chill speech, particularly security research, because legitimate researchers will be afraid to publish their results lest they be accused of circumventing a technological protection measure. We've also been concerned that the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act could be abused to try to make alleged contract violations into crimes.
Good news: after some initial sword rattling, Microsoft has embraced hardware hackers for modifying the Kinect.
Last week, we questioned whether Sarah Palin may have violated Facebook's terms of use by using a ghostwriter to update her profile. We also criticized Facebook's attempts to enforce those terms with state and federal computer crime laws — which carry both civil and criminal penalties — in Facebook v. Power Ventures.
As we explained, it's dangerous for a website to claim that users who breach its terms of use also violate computer crime law. Facebook users can easily make uncontroversial choices that nevertheless violate the plain meaning of Facebook's terms. Furthermore, Facebook shouldn't have the discretion to criminalize certain behavior just by forbidding it in terms of use.
In a major blow to user rights, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has issued a decision that will go a long way toward ensuring that software buyers will rarely be software owners.
In a triumph of legal formalism over reality, the Court held that the copyright's first sale doctrine – the law that allows you to resell books and that protects libraries and archives from claims of copyright infringement – doesn't apply to software (and possibly DVDs, CDs and other "licensed" content) as long as the vendor saddles the transfer with enough restrictions to transform what the buyer may think is sale into a mere license.

This is the Morning Shift, our one-stop daily roundup of all the auto news that's actually important — all in one place at 9:00 AM. Or, you could spend all day waiting for other sites to parcel it out to you one story at a time. Isn't your time more important?
1st Gear: BMW Juices Its Sales With Cars Nobody Owns
The Wall Street Journal (sub. required) has one of those stories that just makes you shake your head about auto sales. It says BMW, which is in a tight battle with Mercedes for leadership in luxury car sales, included "demo" models in their sales for July. According to the Journal, BMW made a one-day offer to dealers on July 31: they'd get up to $7,000 in discounts for every 2012 model, as long as they reported the cars as sold. To do so, dealers apparently bought cars that they intended to use only for test drives or as loaner cars, and then included them in their monthly sales totals. They're supposed to be marked as used cars, but many dealers keep them in their new car inventories, since they're current models and buyers can purchase them if they want.
The Journal says July sales spiked for the vehicle types eligible for the discounts. It sold 1,696 of its 7 Series sedans in July, the highest monthly total so far this year, and triple the June total of 539. For the 3 Series coupe, which had demo discounts totaling $3,200, sales climbed to 2,555 cars, up from 1,222 in June and the coupe's highest total for 2012. The paper says the move calls to mind what happened in 1998, when Cadillac and Lincoln were battling to lead the luxury car market. (Yes, they did.) Cadillac was trailing but its sales suddenly surged in December and it took the crown. Months later, GM acknowledged that Cadillac had purchased vehicles from its dealers, juicing the sales number.
2nd Gear: Auto Dealers Make Lemonade Out of Lemons (So To Speak)
Speaking of dealers, Bloomberg reports on a new study showing that despite all the cutbacks, car dealers are actually selling a record number of vehicles per showroom. Urban Science, a Detroit consulting firm, says annual sales per dealer will grow to 805 this year. The old record was 784 per dealer in 2005. There are 17,770 dealerships in the United States. But there are actually more dealers now in China, and those dealers sell more cars than American dealers. Urban Science says China has 19,890 franchised showrooms, and the average dealership sells 980 vehicles. Urban Science projects the Chinese market will sell 19.5 million vehicles this year, versus about 14.3 million in the U.S.
3rd Gear: Audi R8 E-Tron Can See Behind It
Agence France Presse reports there will be a first on the upcoming Audi R8 e-tron: a digital rear-view mirror. It says Audi will unveil the device, which it tested at LeMans, when it shows the e-tron at the Paris Motor Show. The new mirror has a 7-inch color screen from Samsung, and it will display a high-resolution, high-contrast picture, with the same high definition day and night. The screen is connected to a camera in the back of the vehicle, and the device will be able to display what's going on behind the car at a wider angle than with regular rear-view mirrors. It could either be mind-numbing when you're stuck in traffic, or fascinating if you're around some great scenery.
4th Gear: Toronto's Crazy Mayor Reads While He's Driving
And in another driving related story, The Toronto Sun reports that Rob Ford, the controversial mayor of Toronto, has been spotted reading at the wheel. A photo posted to Twitter shows Ford reading documents on the Gardiner Expressway. while sitting in the driver's seat of his new Cadillac Escalade. Now sure, traffic heading into Toronto sometimes gets clogged, so there is sometimes a chance to catch up on the news, but the tweeter says traffic was moving at about 70 clicks per hour. And, this is the mayor we're talking about. Ford, who doesn't have a driver, even admits that he's guilty. "Yeah, probably," he replied when asked about it at a news conference. "I'm busy. I'm trying to catch up on my work, and you know, I keep my eyes on the road, but I'm busy." What Ford did actually isn't illegal. Ontario's distracted driving ordinance applies only to electronics, making legal to eat, drink and yes, read behind the wheel.
Reverse: Henry And Tom Go Their Separate Ways
On this day in 1899, Henry Ford took the first step toward founding Ford Motor Company. He resigned his position as chief engineer at the Edison Illuminating Company's main plant in Detroit in order to concentrate on automobile production. It actually had been a pretty cushy job. Charged with keeping the city's electricity flowing, Ford was on call 24 hours a day, with no regular working hours. So, when he was not working, he could tinker away at his real goal of building gas-powered vehicles. Four years after he left Edison, Ford founded the car company and in 1908, he introduced the Model T. [History]

Despite an escalation in drug violence and thousands of people killed in drug-related murders in Mexico in recent years, Mexico's economy and the tourism industry are thriving, says CFR's Mexico expert, Shannon K. O'Neil. "Mexico was the hardest hit in Latin America" as a result of the global financial crisis, she says, "but it's recovered quite quickly, and in part it's been due to a huge boom in manufacturing along the border tied to U.S. companies and to U.S. consumers."
On the contentious issue of Mexican immigrants in the United States, she says fewer Mexicans are immigrating to the United States because of a burgeoning economy and a demographic shift. More broadly, one reason the two countries have failed to find a solution, she says, is because while Mexicans see immigration as a foreign policy issue, the United States continues to treat it as a domestic one.
There have been reports about Mexico's thriving economy amid continuing drug violence. Does this sort of ambivalence truly exist in Mexico right now?
It is true. Mexico is a place that's seen a huge escalation in violence. Under President Felipe Calderon over the last five years, we've seen almost 50,000 people killed in drug-related murders. But at the same time, Mexico's economy has actually been doing quite well since the end of the global recession. Mexico was the hardest hit in Latin America but it's recovered quite quickly, and in part it's been due to a huge boom in manufacturing along the border tied to U.S. companies and to U.S. consumers.
We've seen a boom in tourism. There have been record levels of tourists over the last year in Mexico--to its beaches, to its colonial cities, and to Mexico City. And we've also seen the benefit of high oil prices as Mexico still produces a good amount of oil and much of it for the United States.
How much oil does the United States get from Mexico?
Mexico is the world's seventh-largest producer, so there's a huge oil output of over 2.5 million barrels a day. It is the world's third-largest oil exporter to the United States, behind Canada and Saudi Arabia. This benefits Mexico generally, and is a major source of revenue to the Mexican government. Nearly a third of the federal budget is based on oil revenue.
The biggest issue involving Mexico in the United States is illegal immigration. Are Mexicans concerned about people leaving Mexico illegally, or the U.S. comments about it?
There are different concerns. Mexicans are very concerned about the environment toward illegal immigrants in the United States because most of them--about half--are from Mexico. That concerns Mexico particularly because Mexico feels that many of these people come to the United States because of U.S. labor demand. They feel much of the U.S. economy is powered by Mexicans, and they are sensitive to the hostility expressed towards these immigrants.
Mexico itself has been struggling recently with illegal immigrants coming over its southern border. Central Americans are coming up into Mexico--some try to continue on and go to the United States--but some end up actually staying in Mexico. So they're struggling a bit with the same sorts of tensions [the United States] struggles with: How do you deal with and integrate or exclude a population that's entered your country illegally?
The U.S. Congress can't seem to get its hands on this issue. They tried in 2007 and failed to pass legislation. GOP candidate Mitt Romney has suggested "self-deportation." Will it work?
What we saw in 2011 was many fewer people coming to the United States, and the number leaving was about the same. We didn't see an increase in the people leaving the United States, the "self-deportation" that Romney talks about. But we saw many fewer people coming. And there are a few reasons for that.
In the United States, we see immigration as a domestic political issue, so we're quite hesitant to make it a foreign policy issue.
One is the economic pull and push. In Mexico, the economy rebounded somewhat so there was less of a push from there, and the U.S. economy's still quite weak, particularly in sectors that Mexicans would come to work in, so the pull of the U.S. economy is less. Another reason is U.S. border enforcement. There is some evidence that the increase in security and the hardening of the border has discouraged people from trying to come across. It's much more expensive and it's much more dangerous.
But third, one of the real reasons we're seeing this shift is a demographic shift. Given the falling birth rates in Mexico in the 1980s and 1990s, fewer Mexicans are turning eighteen and entering the labor force each year compared to, say, twenty years ago. There's somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 fewer Mexicans turning eighteen today than there was back in 1990, when we saw the start of the emigration boom.
This is a presidential election year in Mexico. Does that get the same attention in Mexico as it does in the United States?
In Mexico, it's a very big deal. Right now, the three main candidates have been chosen from the three parties: the PRI, the old ruling party, has a man named Enrique Peña Nieto who's a very young, charismatic former governor, and he's leading in the polls; the PAN, which is the incumbent party and produced the last two presidents, has elected a woman, Josefina Vázquez Mota, who used to be a minister and then was head of the PAN within the lower house; and the PRD, the leftist party, has elected Lopez Obrador, who is the candidate from 2006 who narrowly lost to current President Calderon and he's looking to make his mark this time.
Does Mota have a chance?
She does have a chance. Peña Nieto, the PRI governor, leads right now, and he has somewhere between a fifteen- and twenty-point lead in the polls, so she has a lot of ground to make up. But she does have a chance, precisely because she can claim the mantle of change by being a woman, and as we know from our elections and in Mexico too, everyone wants change. They want something different the next time around, particularly with Mexico's security issues, with economic growth that's been growing but [is] weak. The idea of grabbing this mantle of change will probably be quite important as we look toward the polls in July.
Mexico's never had a woman president, right?
It's never had a woman president, but it would be following a series of women presidents in important countries in Latin America. Right now, Brazil, the largest economy in Latin America, has a woman president, Dilma Rousseff; Argentina has a woman president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner; so if Vázquez Mota is elected in Mexico, the three Latin American economic powers that are in the G20 would all be led by women.
Should the United States have a favorite?
I don't think the United States should have a favorite. We should be ready to work with whoever comes in as president of Mexico, who'll be inaugurated next December, as the issues on the table are too important to be playing party favorites.
Have the two countries ever worked out a proposal on immigration that would satisfy everybody?
In the United States, we see immigration as a domestic political issue, so we're quite hesitant to make it a foreign policy issue. It obviously is a foreign policy issue because to have migrants, they have to come from somewhere. For Mexico in particular, given our closeness and given the integration of the populations and families, it is a serious foreign policy issue, but I wouldn't expect any U.S. politician to make it a foreign policy issue.
The United States and Mexico do have their differences on particular issues, but overall, both are market-based democracies and see the world in that view.
According to reports, there is an incredible increase in the number of hotels being built not only because of tourism but also business travels. Does that speak to the burgeoning economy in Mexico?
It does. It speaks to, one, the potential for growth in the economy. This is a country of 110 million people with a growing middle class, so a growing consumer base [is] quite attractive for those wanting to export. But the other reason is the United States and Mexican economies have increasingly integrated, and so as U.S. companies think about becoming increasingly globally competitive, you have to create global supply chains and we've done that increasingly with Mexico.
Is that a major result of the NAFTA treaty that President Clinton introduced?
What are the big issues right now between the United States and Mexico?
There's immigration, there's worries about security and whether the drug violence would spill over to the U.S. side. This is obviously part of an illicit market that runs all the way from Colombia and Peru and Bolivia where cocaine is produced, through Mexico and up to the United States, so there's worries about security. There are always trade tensions or other issues that come up. We seem to work very well at resolving them, but there are a host of issues that can be problematic if not dealt with through diplomatic and cooperative means.
Do Mexico and the United States more or less see alike on hemispheric issues? A number of countries like Ecuador and Peru are causing problems for the United States.
The United States and Mexico do have their differences on particular issues, but overall, both are market-based democracies and see the world in that view. Mexico is one of the most open economies in the world now, and it has signed trade treaties all over the world, something the United States also pushes forward. And Mexico tends, within multilateral institutions, the G20, or climate change negotiations, to see things generally the way the United States does. So in many ways, Mexico can be an easy ally because we do approach many issues the same way, though some things obviously are different.

It really is a shame. I enjoy both Joy Formidable and Passion Pit's material, and you could tell that the performance was there for both bands. Really unfortunate the house mix didn't do either band justice.
Crowd was pretty douchey too.
Crowd was pretty douchey too
Didn't help that the singer had an obvious cold either.
check out chvrches or the knife if you're into synth pop
passion pit are just not great live
is he always sick?
because he sounds the same way every time he sings live
every time I hear people talk about passion pit and defending them live, they say he had a cold
Michael Angelakos is just not a good live singer. Sounds great in the studio though.
There was one thing holding the Boston frontman (and, by association, the band itself) back, though – his voice wasn't at its usual capacity. Angelakos' vocals are fueled by a powerful falsetto, but on this night, the power seemed to be lacking.
Halfway through the show, Angelakos came clean about his struggles. "How many of you suffer from allergies?" he asked. "I woke up this morning and I had no voice. I'm somehow making it through this show."
He did indeed make it through the show, to his credit. But after the band played "Sleepyhead," their breakout song from their 2008 EP "Chunk of Change," and returned to the stage for their encore, Angelakos sounded like his vocal chords were running on empty.
When I go to any live music event, it's pretty much a given to me that the artists aren't going to sound as good as their production recordings.
man, the really talented bands sound as good live as they do on their record
check out chvrches or the knife if you're into synth pop

Well i ended up reloading every once in a while and snagged one for $13.. Still.. this hobby is getting really NOT FUN. The thrill of finding stuff in the store is so much better.
I just happened to be on there and searched for Vintage Star Wars and it popped up. Glad you got one as well and I agree that the fun is gone. I miss the thrill of approaching the pegs and seeing a bunch of figures you've never seen before. Now almost all I see are leftovers from TPM wave. If it wasn't for the internet, I would only have figures through the deleted scene wave.
I've now gotten 2 of the new Naboo starfighters. The one that came in yesterday I had ordered a while back (thinking they were in stock) from a seller on Amazon. Since a long time had passed and I wasn't sure that one would ever come in, I ordered another 2 weeks ago that came in last week from a different seller. I had to pay $39 for one of them and $44 for the other, but that still isn't too bad considering the gas I would have wasted looking for them on the shelves around here. It's a fantastic ship. Much better detail than the older one. The cockpit is much improved, it has landing gear now, you can put in your own droid. I just wish it still had electronics, but those days are over in ships this size.
The new 3-packs are trickling in to VA Targets. Specificallyt Williamsburg, for me. I got the one with Snaggletooth. I need another boba like i need a hole in the head.. But I really liked the Snaggletooth when i was a kid. I didn't feel like spending $25 each for both sets so I didn't get the droids, yet.
Got the 2 new 3 packs at Target in Frederick, MD yesterday. The best part is they rang up $15 each.
A lost wavecase hit Northern Va today - saw beat up remnants at the Baileys TRU around noon today. Good to see new stuff but sad to see it too late and on bent cards.
Glen Burnie Toys R Us had all 12 Lost Wave vintage(both cards) in stock & every one was beat/bent to crap(go figure). They also had the Ewok/Yavin pilot bp's back in stock(10 of each)...shame they didn't have them 9/6 when I had my BOGO rewards coupon. Annapolis has them also but beware...they are charging 4.00(or 8.00 for the set) more than the Glen Burnie or Columbia TRU's???

Serology for brucellosis is a blood test to look for the presence of antibodies against Brucella. This is the bacterium that causes the disease brucellosis.
Brucella serology; Brucella antibody test or titer
A blood sample is needed.
There is no special preparation.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
Brucellosis is an infection that occurs from coming into contact with animals that carry Brucella bacteria.
Your doctor may order this test if you have signs or symptoms of brucellosis. People working in jobs where they often come in contact with animals or meat, such as slaughterhouse workers, farmers, and veterinarians, are most likely to get this disease.
A normal (negative) result usually means you have not come in contact with the bacteria that causes brucellosis. However, this test may not detect the disease at an early stage. Your doctor may have you come back for another test in 10 days to 3 weeks.
Infection with other bacteria, such as Yersinia, Francisella, and Vibrio, and certain immunizations can cause false-positive results.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
An abnormal (positive) result usually means you have come in contact with the bacteria that causes brucellosis.
However, this positive result does not mean that you have an active infection. Your doctor will have you repeat the test after a few weeks to see if the test result increases. This increase is more likely to be a sign of a current infection.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

Building construction, the techniques and industry involved in the assembly and erection of structures, primarily those used to provide shelter.
Building construction is an ancient human activity. It began with the purely functional need for a controlled environment to moderate the effects of climate. Constructed shelters were one means by which human beings were able to adapt themselves to a wide variety of climates and become a global species.
Human shelters were at first very simple and perhaps lasted only a few days or months. Over time, however, even temporary structures evolved into such highly refined forms as the igloo. Gradually ... (100 of 34,292 words)

Iran continues to target critical journalists
New York, August 10, 2011--The Committee to Protect Journalists is concerned about a rise in the number of imprisoned journalists in Iran and the continuing deterioration of their health. In recent days, Iranian authorities increased a prominent journalist's prison term by two years and arrested a critical journalist who had just finished serving a prison sentence. Other journalists have suffered from declining health as a result of substandard conditions, extended periods in solitary confinement, and intentional abuse, according to news reports.

Google Glass Illegal While Driving? Motorist Gets Ticketed by Police
The first item on the ticket is for speeding, which is probably the reason she was pulled over in the first place rather than for wearing Google Glass. However, she was also cited for her headgear, with the officer likening the infraction to "driving with monitor visible to driver."
"Is Google Glass illegal while driving or this cop wrong??? Any legal advice is appreciated!!," Abadie posted on her Google Plus page. "This happened in California. Do you know any other Glass Explorers that got a similar ticket anywhere in the U.S.?"
Abadie might be the first person to receive a citation for wearing Google Glass, but will she be the last? Delaware and West Virginia passed laws that prohibit wearable computing devices with head mounted displays while driving. However, the California officer took it a different direction by comparing Glass to a monitor, and it will be interesting to see how the courts rule if Abadie decides to fight the infraction.

Venezuela Puts off US Airline Cuts
Caracas, Mar 30 (Prensa Latina) Venezuela informed Thursday that it is putting off until April 25 the application of a measure to cut the number of flights by US airlines. The measure is in response to US restrictions on Venezuelan airlines.
The Venezuelan Infrastructure Ministry recalled the suspension of flights by several US airlines to the country should have started today, but was deferred as agreed in recent bilateral talks.
Venezuelan authorities had announced by the end of February they were forced to take the restraining measure after a year-long disagreement caused by US restrictions on Venezuelan airlines in the former.
The US government had been banning flights by Venezuelan airlines alleging unsafe conditions, despite positive inspections by the International Civil Aeronautics Organization.
After Venezuela announced cutting US flights in return, a delegation from the US Federal Aviation travelled to Caracas to begin negotiations with Venezuela´s National Civil Aeronautics Institute.
This week´s talks have shown willingness to find solutions benefiting aero-trade relations between the two sides, the ministerial note indicates.

GLORY Announces GLORY 11 Chicago and GLORY 12 New York
- Written by Dave Walsh
This was all just a matter of time as these two shows have been floating around in whispers for a while now, compounded by Nathan Corbett in his announcing that he signed for GLORY saying that he'd be fighting for GLORY in Chicago in October. Basically, the signs have been around for a while now and you don't need to be me to have known that this was going down, right? Right.
So, GLORY announced today that GLORY 11 will go down in Chicago, going down at the Sears Center at Hoffman Estates, Ill. on October 12th. This is set to be the promotion's Spike TV debut event and will air LIVE on Spike TV. While they have not announced a card for this yet, the rumors are pinning Nathan Corbett vs. Tyrone Spong as the main event and for a four-man Heayweight tournament featuring Daniel Ghita, Gokhan Saki, Rico Verhoeven and Anderson "Braddock" Silva. The rumored matchups are Saki vs. Rico and Braddock vs. Ghita, which should make for a fine tournament.
GLORY 12 will take place in New York City on November 9th, should also be airing on Spike TV (although the press release doesn't say this), live from The Theater at Madison Square Garden. The Theater at MSG has hosted a lot of great boxing events throughout history and was also where TaKe-On produced an event last year. GLORY 12 New York will feature a Lightweight tournament. Although there aren't a lot of details about this event, expect to see Giorgio Petrosyan as well as the two Lightweight winners from GLORY 10 Los Angeles in the tournament. Do not expect Buakaw, though, okay?

By NEMS Daily Journal
Major government funded construction projects always involve almost too many details to count, but every project has a key detail, sometimes seemingly small, that signals real progress is about to happen toward conclusion.
Last week, the Natchez Trace Parkway's decision makers announced the closure of the National Scenic Trail section north of Old Town Creek to the Beech Springs Road access point for two years to avoid hazards that will come with building a bridge on the Northern Loop over the Trace. The hiking trail will be open north of the Beech Springs access and south of Old Town Creek.
The thoroughfare loop – officially Barnes Crossing Road extended – will link U.S. 78 near Belden to the Barnes Crossing commercial area on North Gloster, one of Tupelo's major business/commercial thoroughfares.
The loop is designed to route traffic east-west and take some pressure off North Gloster, McCullough Boulevard, U.S. 78 and U.S. 45, which feed traffic to Barnes Crossing in existing flow patterns. In addition, Barnes Crossing Extended, in phases, will be zoned for appropriate development, recognizing that adjoining land sits largely in a flood plain.
Barnes Crossing Extended is the first new street built under the Major Thoroughfare Program, which is funded in five-year increments using a voter-approved 10 mill Tupelo property owner tax levy. The northern loop has been under active planning for about a decade, but the basic visioning for loop roads encircling Tupelo and expediting both traffic flow and development has been discussed for at least 30 years.
The two-year trail closure fits the general schedule recently outlined by MTP Committee Chairman Greg Pirkle. He has cast the completion of bridges over the Trace and one partially financed by the Mississippi Department of Transportation over U.S. 78 in late 2014, which would allow time for any work related to re-opening the scenic hiking trail when the bridge is completed.
Both trail sections soon will be posted closed by public notice.
At the same time, work is progressing on two other MTP projects:
• East Main Street widening and improvement is 39 percent complete, with a late summer 2013 wrap-up forecast.
• South Gloster widening is 73 percent complete, and wrap-up is expected this spring.
The MTP committee has started discussions about the next phase of the program, which would be voted on in 2016. Several venues are under consideration, but no decisions or designs have been finalized.
The program is among the best community actions undertaken by Tupelo.

A Walk with Jane Austen and Free Books!
Before discussing today's book (from which the above quote comes), I want to announce that the winner of the signed copy of Shelley Shephard Gray's novel, Forgiven, is:
virginiakeckler@ . . .
Congratulations! I'll contact you today for your snail mail address, and we'll get your book to you right away. I encourage readers to keep commenting and/or subscribe at right in order to participate in future book give-aways!
For this month's post for the Everything Austen Challenge, I read Lori Smith's memoir, A Walk with Jane Austen. Smith, the author of 2002's The Single Truth, takes the reader with her on a summer's journey through Austen's England. We not only experience the places Jane did, we experience the places her characters did. And we live inside Smith's head and life in the process.
I found the different perspectives enjoyable and fascinating in the ways they intertwined. Smith, like Austen, is a single woman making her living through her writing. Because of her admirable adherence to her Christian faith, she is a woman who waits, in contrast with many of her contemporaries. No tawdry summer fling for her (which is certainly not to say she doesn't experience summer love). So, while we know Jane's romantic fate, we await word on Smith's while she treks from Steventon to Chawton, from Chatsworth to Stoneleigh.
One of my favorite aspects of Smith's book is her Notes section at the end. I watched Roger Michell's 2000 film version of Persuasion during the week I read this book, so I was able to use Smith's Notes in order to see how her walk coincided with what I had just watched on film. It was a double Austen whammy, and I loved it. I plan to hang onto this book and do the same with the rest of my Austen Challenge experiences.
If you're a fan of memoir and/or a fan of Jane Austen, I think you would enjoy this book. Kudos to Smith for an honest, compelling journey.
Now, since I'm not giving away my copy of Smith's book, I'd like to give away two copies of my novel, Too Good to Be True. Just leave a comment below to be entered into the drawing. And if you'd like to be entered a second time, see my column on Christian Fiction Online Magazine and then E-mail me, telling me what item I said might protect us better than car airbags. I'll draw two names next Monday.
This Thursday, we'll hear from Camy Tang, author of Deadly Intent, and we'll give away a copy of Barbara Dickson's Mountains for Maddi. You can enter to win Barbara's book by commenting under her interview, below.
Happy reading!

What do the words "async i/o" mean to you?
What type of i/o do you think of if someone told you a smtp server does async i/o?
It's been a while since I've written. For those trying to reduce Spam, check out the company Habeas. It uses copyright law to fight spam. Good stuff. Basically it adds a copyrighted haiku header to your messages if you say you are not a spammer. Others can use those headers to filter good mail into one pile. Basically a white list. A different approach than those trying to identify spam, it simply identifies good mail instead.
This weekend I wrote a device driver for linux. It's very simple and doesn't actually talk to any devices. It simply increments a global variable by one every time it is read from. The device returns 2 integers. One integer is a generation, the other a sequence. The generation part should be incremented every time the module is loaded, while the sequence integer is incremented every time the device is read from. There are 2 devices one can read from. One device is meant for C programs that read the data into an integer. It will never return an 'EOF'. Therefore if you want 10 sequences, just read 10 x (2 * sizeof(int)). Then close it. The other device is meant for scripts and returns and ascii string in the form generation:sequence. It returns 'EOF' when just one sequence is read. Writing to the device sets the device to whatever value you write to it.
With axehind's prodding, I've been looking into openMosix. It's is an extremely simple system to setup. He wants to update the userland tools. I didn't want to start that till I understood the oMFS file system. Now that I do (after many questions to the list) I should be able to start some work on it. First thing is to get the kernel-headers RPM working properly.
After much research, I've decided not to use Apache 2.0 as the basis for my next SMTP server. I'm convinced that async i/o is the way to go. Thanks raph for mentioning that topic in your diary. My SMTP server system will use ReiserFS for a filesystem and perhaps /dev/epoll for event notification. I'm not worried about portability yet. I more interested in raw performance and /dev/epoll seems the best way to go. I've requested that this be open source so others can join in the developement. I'll be posting snippets either way.
If any Advogato users are bird watchers, I have a bird watching site based on Advogato code. It's at www.migratus.com. There are some user interface issues that I need to work on, but any feedback would be nice.
It's been a while since I've posted. I'm ready to write another version of the smtp server I wrote for work, but I would like to use Apache 2.x as the underlying system. I haven't been able to convince work that this could should be an open source project. I'm the only hardcore C programmer here, so having others look at the code would be of tremendous help.
I've been playing with mod_virgule code. StevenRainwater has been very responsive about my needs. I even submitted a patch for a bug, but Steven found that the bug is much deeper and has posted an even bigger patch. I'm playing with this code too so I can use it for a birding site that I've been trying to do for years. I would be cool if anything could be rated (ie diary entries, articles, etc). However, it seems like that is going to take a while to do.
I bought 'The GNU C Library Reference Manual' 2 weeks ago and did a fast read of it. I like how glibc2 added dynamic buffer allocations for things like sprintf (ie asprintf). Also of interest was the hash and tree functions as well as argp (a getopt alternative). There are a bunch of useful functions in glibc2 that my linux system doesn't have man pages for, so the books (it is 2 volumes) are going to be very useful. Oh, one thing that interested me very much was that all the stream functions (ie fprint etc) do intristic locking so that those functions are thread safe. It seems you get that even if you aren't writing a threaded program. There are corresponding _unlocked functions if you don't want locking.
Seems like I only post when I need help!
I've been running my SMTP server for quite a while now (a month) and I've noticed the following behaviour. Every now and then a client closes the socket during the DATA phase. I catch that and discard the message. However, after re-reading the RFC, I get 2 conflicting ways to handle this:
one part of the rfc states: 188.8.131.52 RESET (RSET)
... There are circumstances, contrary to the intent of this specification, in which an SMTP server may receive an indication that the underlying TCP connection has been closed or reset. To preserve the robustness of the mail system, SMTP servers SHOULD be prepared for this condition and SHOULD treat it as if a QUIT had been received before the connection disappeared.
ok, that says treat it as though a quit happened, which just doesn't sound right to me. If DATA was issued and I'm waiting to see a CRLF.CRLF, and the client closes the connection, I would think that it would be better to assume the entire message hasn't been sent.
however later I see:
... If the connection is closed prematurely due to violations of the above or system or network failure, the server MUST cancel any pending transaction, but not undo any previously completed transaction, and generally MUST act as if the command or transaction in progress had received a temporary error (i.e., a 4yz response).
which doesn't quite make sense to me because basically it sounds like this:
DATA -> oops! -> back to MAIL state -> return a 4xx code but wait, the socket is closed!
So does anybody have some words of wisdom?
I'm thinking the correct behaviour is to treat it as the
client closed socket
server treats it as a RSET and QUIT.
I'm reachable at jeff @ virtualbuilder dot com
I'm moving on up!
Been a while since I've posted. Basically I've been optimizing the code. I've replaced several write() calls with writev, trying to minimize system calls as much as possible. I'm now starting on better RFC conformance. For example I must accept postmaster without a domain for a recipient. Also been thinking of how to get managment to let me opensource the code.
I signed up to a bunch of yahoo lists to see how the MTA is. So far no memory leaks. I've had a few timeouts, so I now change the process title for each SMTP phase, much like sendmail does. I also had 60k messages sent to it, and it handled them in under an hour (~16/sec) with 50 children. Thing is most of the children were idle. 4 machines running sendmail fed it. I was expecting the machine to be overloaded, but it didn't even burp. The test machine is an old ibm pentium II 350MHz with 256MB ram.
Thanks to all who responded to my request for help. Looks like I need to learn how to read. My smtp server now works with sendmail. Sendmail has this weird loop detection based on the 2nd word of the response to helo/ehlo. I've fixed the code and it works. Now for some more testing.
Ok, I am now testing MTA interaction with my smtpd server.
Sendmail barfs. Here is what I posted to comp.mail.sendmail:
I've written a custom MTA and I testing interaction with it from other MTA's.
It seems sendmail (8.11.6 and whatever AOL is using) doesn't like my MTA, but Yahoo and Exim does. Here's a smtp log:
