text: I've seen Ubuntu loaded on a phone in an article from last year. But, this is a project designed to make the OS more accessible. I thought this article might interest some of the people in our community: <.> When you are using your Android phone that has Ubuntu installed as well, it will behave in exactly the same fashion it does now. You will have access to all the Google applications, the Market, your contacts, and the ability to make calls. So in the morning when you grab your phone to check on the emails and SMS messages that came in overnight, nothing will change there. When you arrive to your office however, your phone can become your desktop. You will simply plug the HDMI-enabled device into its dock, and you have a the full Unity experience on your big screen. </> Canonical reveals Ubuntu for Android | ExtremeTech This version would not work on our phones; I got another version last year but I never played with it. This is what I want.

text: Would anyone be able to tell me some of the things their boys did on at sea days...while we will be spending a lot of time as a family I have 2 boys ages 14 and almost 13 who are pretty active and want to do more than hang out eat and chat. Specifically are there basketball games, foosball tourneys,dodgeball etc organized for the Tweens during the day....do they enjoy the pool or is it too crowded....do they do scavenger hunts? What types of specific organized activities have your boys done in the past? Thanks for your responses. We were on a Disney cruise years ago and loved it but I am worried that these two (of our four children) will be disappointed Theresa

You certainly get enough canned messages from Christians when you're in the atheist steam group.
Still deeply entrenched in SWTOR land but I did play the DIII beta. After a few enjoyable run-throughs I handed it off to my 8 year old who thoroughly enjoyed it until the beta ended. Looks like I'll be building a 3rd rig (again) as it's also the type of game my wife enjoys... ya' know; point and click. "Fun for the whole fam" definitely makes this game worth buying.
BattleTag: Chasmoric#1803
Diablo 3 looks good and Ill definitely be playing, if people want to group up or real ID or whatever.
Hey look, I found the sword of 3 clicks, goodbye shitty sword of 4 clicks. :)
Seems like everybody here is exciting about Diablo 3, and I gotta admit, I've missed that good old Diablo, something the original version was really one of a kind, hope that the folks at Blizzard recapture that magic!
Same here .. I love Blizzard and I always love playing World of Warcraft. It's such an awesome game.
Yep, can't wait for tuesday. Already got it digitally, and I'll be ready to go at midnight. I've been a Blizzard fan since the original Warcraft.
Awesome! Yvw, I hope you enjoyed it :) If the open beta and Blizzard's history are any indication, it's going to be a fantastic game.

ALA 2013: Feedback Thread

I had an amazing time at ALA! Although yes, Saturday night was pretty crazy with all the drunks on the pool deck and the stench of alcohol everywhere..and some people were even smelling pot? Geez. Another problem, as Chireiyu mentioned was Doki Doki Maid Cafe. :/ I checked to see if it was open Friday evening of the con and they weren't there and eventually came up and said they didn't have an event that day and so everyone had to leave. I went the next day, Saturday, and had to wait in line for at least an hour. I looked in, and they were all playing games and what not. Which is typical, yeah, maid cafes. But the thing is it looked like they didn't have a time limit for how long people stayed in the room so people were staying there for a long time while others waited to get in. After a while, my group just said forget it and left along with a couple of other people in line. So that was a disappointment. Dont get me wrong, I love Maid Cafes. But next year, try finding one that is more structured and punctual, and scheduled and actually pays attention to time management. Also, it kinda feels like the hotel is getting kinda small for how many people were there this year..
But as an upside, Masquerade was really great this year, I had a blast watching it at least! The Starlight Ball was also pretty okay, I had fun there as well.

Is this product for real?
I've been evaluating backup software for our company for four months now. BFW is the best product that I've come across so far. Compression, encryption, bare-metal restore, runs as a service enabling after hour backups, choose file to or not to back up... and on and on.
More folks should take a serious look at this product. Why Veritas and CA can't employ all of these components and do so in an 8MB program is beyond me. This is a simple, young, well thought out program that definately gets my vote.
Keep it up Lockstep!

An Alabama woman was allegedly attacked
on Thanksgiving Day by her girlfriend's brother, Travis Hawkins Jr.
Twenty-three-year-old Mallory Owens
suffered multiple skull fractures and crushed bones as a result of
the attack, NBC
affiliate Local 15 reported. She was released from the hospital
on Monday.
What prompted the attack remains
unclear. However, Owens' mother, Kristi Taylor, told WKRG.com
that Owens was beaten because she is gay.
"She was invited over by the family
to eat Thanksgiving," Taylor said. "I did not want her to go, I
begged her not to go, knowing how the family felt about her. But she
said, 'They're trying to be nice.'"
Taylor told Fox

Hawkins has been charged with second
degree assault. Prosecutors said it was premature to call the attack
a hate crime.
The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the
nation's largest gay rights advocate, said in a statement Tuesday
that it had asked the Department of Justice and the FBI to become
involved in the investigation.
"We call on both Alabama and federal
law enforcement officials to thoroughly and swiftly investigate this
crime to ensure Mallory's attacker is brought to justice," HRC
President Chad Griffin said.
A fund to help cover Owens' medical
bills has been set up at Regions Bank (1-800-REGIONS).

Copic Design Team Member Sharon Harnist is back with us to share a flower coloring tutorial for this birthday card:
Hello, I'm happy to be back for the first time this year with another flower coloring tutorial for you, since they are my favorite things to color! Today I'll be showing you how to color this pretty bunch of JustRite Papercraft Poppies:
So let's get started! I wanted a soft ivory background for these flowers, so I used Ivory Gina K Designs Heavy Base Weight Cardstock to stamp the flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. This cardstock is nice and thick (120 lb. weight) and has the wonderful property of having virtually no bleed-through to the back of the cardstock, so it is great for projects where the back shows and you don't want to see your coloring!
1. First, I selected a red blending group I wanted to use for the flowers: R30 / R32 / R35 / R39 and base coated the flowers with my lightest R30:
2. Then I used the next darker R32 to shade the centers of the flowers and at the base of the flower bud (where the flower petals are bunched together and more concentration of color would naturally be), upward. You want to leave the lightest R30 showing on the flower parts that are closest to you, such as the outer edges:
3. Then I went back with my lightest R30 and blended these two colors together: 4. Next, I used my middle darker shade of R35 to deepen the color at the base of the R32 shading above, going back and blending the two together with the R32: 5. Alternatively, you could use R32 to pick up color from the darker R35 and blend outward from the center or base of the flower petals. Using this tip-to-tip blending method concentrates the darkest color where your marker touches the paper first (towards the center), and makes a smooth blend outward to the lighter marker color, as the darker color comes off the lighter marker's tip: 6. Next, I went back with R35 and colored the up-turned (underside) petal edges and defined a few petals that were further behind other petals. Notice how this step really starts to define the petals: 7. Finally, I used my darkest R39 to shade the very centers of the flowers, to give them their trademark dark poppy coloring: 8. Next, I decided I might have over-saturated the flower centers with too much dark color (looking a little "blobby"!), so thank goodness for Colorless Blender! I went back with my Copic Original Colorless Blender tip and dotted away some color from the flower centers: 9. Then I defined the stamens with dots of Black Atyou Spica Glitter Pen: 10. Moving on to the leaves, I chose a blending group of G20 / G21 / G28 and base coated the leaves with my lightest G20: 11. Next, I used my middle tone G21 to color the flower stems and shade the base and centers of the leaves: 12. Next, I shaded the stems (with my darkest G28) that were further away / in the background, and next to the petals, where the petals would be casting shadows onto the stems: 13. Then I went back and blended the two colors together with G21: 14. For the background, I started by using very light BG0000 to color around the flowers: 15. Then I used a little darker BG000 to deepen the color closer to the flowers, and 0-Colorless Sketch Blender to soften and fade/blend away any harsh lines of the outer edges of the BG color: To finish the card, I die cut the image with My Favorite Things Postage Stamp Die-namics STAX die and sponged the edges with Memento Toffee Crunch ink. The image was popped up on the turquoise card base with Copic Foam Tape: The JustRite Birthday Wishes sentiment was die cut with Spellbinders Back-to-Basics Tags die, popped up on Copic Foam Tape, and tied with ribbon to the colored image.
Thanks so much for joining me today! ~ Sharon Harnist

State Senator David Storobin is giving new meaning to the term "fiscal conservative," according to a report in the Daily News.
Storobin, a Republican, has owed upwards of $10,000 dollars on his Brighton Beach pad at Trump Village, and has been taken to court three times to account for his late payments.
Storobin insists that the three court appearances reflect the three times in 11 years that he has forgotten to pay in a timely fashion, stating, "It was a one month thing in each case. We are talking about a few weeks."

(NEW YORK) — Complaints about pesky telemarketers continue to tick off consumers, making it the fastest-growing gripe of 2013, according to consumer protection offices around the country.
The "Top 10 Consumer Complaints" list, annually compiled by the Consumer Federation of America (CFA) and the North American Consumer Protection Investigators (NACPI), reveals consumers are fed up with everything from being sold a lemon of a used car to dealing with cable bills to out-and-out fraud.
"The stories from agencies' files illustrate the wide range of problems that consumers encounter, from faulty appliances to false advertising, high-pressure door-to-door sales to sweetheart swindles," said Amber Capoun, president of NACPI, who is also a legal assistant in the Office of the State Banking Commission in Kansas.
Consumer Federation is an association of nearly 300 non-profit consumer groups. NACPI is an association of federal, state and local government consumer protection investigators. The groups surveyed agencies to find out what issues consumers grapple with most, as well as what challenges consumer protection groups face today when trying to resolve them.
The top grievance belongs to complaints about cars, specifically misrepresentations dealing with buying a new or used one. Bad repairs and leasing and towing disputes are also included.
According to the survey, complaints about telemarketing abuses swelled in 2013, specifically regarding violations of the federal law known as the TCPA, or Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The law allows consumers to tell a telemarketer not to contact them. It also prohibits a company from "robo-dialing" a consumers' cellphone without his consent — a complaint highlighted this week on ABC's World News With Diane Sawyer and Nightline.
"Despite the national do-not-call registry, strict rules concerning robo-calls, and other protections, unwanted and fraudulent phone calls are still plaguing American consumers," said Susan Grant, Director of Consumer Protection at CFA.
The groups say scams against the elderly continue to persist as well, earning top billing as "worst" complaint of the year, based on the number of victims and the dollar amount lost. Home improvement and construction complaints, businesses that go under, sweepstakes and lottery scams and landlord/tenant disputes round out what CFA and NACPI call the "worst complaints in 2013."
The ABC News Fixer, Stephanie Zimmermann, says these types of complaints regularly show up in her online mailbag, where viewers send in their gripes about everything from mortgage rescue schemes to shoddy home repairs.
"Consumers get frustrated when they feel they've been treated unfairly," says Zimmermann, who writes a consumer column and has recovered more than a quarter-million dollars for ABC News viewers for problems big and small. "We try to not only fix individual consumers' problems but also give other viewers information so they can avoid falling into the same trap."

Posted Tue Feb 2nd by Mr.East
Dear Josh McDaniels,
Remember that time when you sent that guy who appeared to be the future to the Windy City? Well whether or not it was a good deal remains to be seen. However, what is evident is that I lost out on two freaking $70 jerseys and a $15 "Got Cutler?" t-shirt.
His ostracism riled up Denver fans into fits of pyromania. That infamous August caused fans to cremate whatever memories they still obtained in an attempt to materialize their anger. The rest of your tenure has not led fans to dissimilar actions. If I owned a Kyle Orton jersey it would have been cauterized well before the fourth quarter of the final Chiefs game.
Coach, what you need to recognize is that good old Mike Shanahan was never a fan of keeping around the guys whose jersey's people like to purchase. Josh, you're not variating from this philosophy. Thank god they don't make Mike Nolan jerseys.
2003: I bought a Clinton Portis jersey ($70).
2004: Clinton Portis was traded to the Redskins (which I'm not complaining about).
2005: I bought a Trevor Pryce as well as a Jake Plummer jersey ($140).
2006: Trevor Pryce was signed by the Ravens in free agency.
2007: Jake Plummer was traded to Tampa Bay and he decided to retire. Shortly soon after I purchased a Jason Elam jersey, a sure fire investment I thought ($70).
2008: Jason Elam was signed by the Falcons in free agency. So I bought a Jay Cutler jersey for myself, one for my girlfriend, and a "Got Cutler" t-shirt after his first full season starting ($160).
2009: McJayGate. My parents were generous enough to bestow me with a Brandon Marshall jersey that Christmas ($70).
Somewhere buried in my closet is $440 worth of throwback merchandize, please keep it from totaling $510. I'd like to see B-Marsh truck through San Fran's secondary in London and Id like to see Elvis Dumervil wreak havoc in the backfield again.
Orton? Well he'd better be cheap and Tom Brandstater should get more looks come pre-season. Orton would still be fine if a guy like Sean Canfield or Jimmy Clausen is drafted.
The bottom line is Coach, I'm more than willing to support you for another season as long as you don't let Elvis leave the building.
Mr. East
What about you Bronco nation? How many jersey casualties have you suffered over the years? How badly do you want to keep Doom and B-Marsh? Air it out!

Israel ready to hold talks with Arab League on peace plan
Ahead of another Israeli - Palestinian summit on Sunday, Israeli government sources signaled that the Hebrew state is ready to meet with the Arab League's committee for furthering the Saudi peace initiative.
Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa and representatives of 11 Arab member states will meet on Wednesday to move the peace initiative forward. The plan was reaffirmed at the Arab leaders summit held last month in the Saudi capital Riyadh.
On Saturday, Israeli sources said Tel Aviv was waiting for the official appointment of the Arab League committee this week. "If its goal is to further the Saudi initiative, then from our point of view, it is possible to engage in dialogue with it," one source said, according to Haaretz.
American officials, including U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dick Jones, have said recently that the expected dialogue between the Arab League and Israel would be a move of "historic significance."
After the special committee is set up, the Arab League will seek to engage in talks with the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, the Quartet and other international organizations, in order to further the initiative.

Pompeia's Pick
By Lorie Ann Hambly
Bronze Portrait coin of Cleopatra VII
Most numismatic portraits of Cleopatra VII Thea Notera ("New
Goddess"), last Egyptian ruler of the Ptolemaic dynasty and perhaps
the most famous woman in all history aside from the Virgin Mary,
have a tendency to make one wonder what the fuss was all about. How
could any woman with so ferocious a nose and chin have so utterly
captivated two of the most powerful Roman men of her age, Julius
Caesar and Mark Antony, and have gone down in history as a
legendary beauty and seductress?
While some Classical historians are at pains to note that
Cleopatra's looks were, in Plutarch's words, "not altogether
incomparable," nowhere does anyone suggest that she was anything
less than pleasing to gaze upon. Cassius Dio even states, "she was
a woman of surpassing beauty, and at that time, when she was in the
prime of her youth, she was most striking; she also possessed a
most charming voice and a knowledge of how to make herself
agreeable to everyone." Yet the profile shown on many silver coins
of Cleopatra (usually paired with her pet Roman Mark Antony) show a
creature with a great hooked beak of a nose and a chin that could
open tin cans, looking more like Margaret Hamilton than Liz
The few surviving portrait busts that can definitely be
attributed to Cleopatra are rather noncommittal on the matter of
her beauty, since all but a few are bereft of that key feature, the
nose, and perhaps the most famous one, the "Berlin Cleopatra" in the Altes Museum, has,
according to some experts, been so extensively reworked in
Renaissance times as to be untrustworthy. But the key phrase may be
Dio's almost offhand remark that she was "most striking" when she
was "in the prime of her youth."
The coin offered here, a bronze 80 drachm coin probably struck
close to the outset of her reign in 50-48 BC, bears a soft,
attractive profile that closely matches the Berlin bust: The nose,
while prominent, is straight and rounded, and the chin, while
strong, is likewise nicely contoured. Her cheek is full, implying
youth, and her "melon" hairstyle bound with a broad diadem are
almost exact duplicates of the Berlin bust, suggesting that this
was an "official" effigy carved near the outset of her reign that
served as a model for the die engravers at the royal mint. This
young, nubile Cleopatra (aged 20-21) is the one who so enchanted
Julius Caesar in 48 BC by having herself smuggled into his quarters
wrapped in a Persian rug. She reportedly took extraordinary steps
to retain the bloom of youth (she wrote a handbook on the proper
use of cosmetics that became a best seller among women of
antiquity) and likely retained enough "pull-chritude" to draw Mark
Antony into her orbit when they met in Tarsus in 41 BC (knowing
Antony's randy nature, though, she took no chances and met him on a
royal barge stuffed to the gunnels with beautiful, scantily-dressed
serving girls and all manner of other earthly delights).
The familiar "witchy" coin portraits that came later (36-30 BC)
are probably the result of two factors: (1) Despite her best
efforts, as happens to us all, Cleopatra's features tended to
"harden" with age and the burdens of trying to keep her kingdom's
independence against a ravenous Rome, and (2) the Roman and Syrian
die engravers employed to produce her silver denarii and
tetradrachms were far less sympathetic to the Egyptian queen and,
secretly or otherwise, viewed her as a power-grasping harridan,
which tended to color their depictions of her. There was also
likely a conscious effort to make her resemble her "husband" Mark
Antony. Nevertheless, our bronze from early in her reign confirms
Dio's assessment of her as a "looker" and also refutes conjecture
that the Berlin bust of Cleopatra is somehow untrustworthy due to
attempts at restoration.

Portrait coin of Cleopatra VII will be offered in our April

What Happened In Ancient March?
March 15, 44 BC: Julius Caesar is struck down at the
start of a Senate session by a cabal of Senators led by Q. Caepio
(ne Marcus Junius) Brutus and Q. Cassius Longinus. The avowed goal
of the assassins was to save the Roman Republic; however the brutal
murder plunged the Roman world into a decade and a half of civil
war that only ended in the very one-man rule Caesar's killers
sought to avoid.
March 17, 45 BC: Julius Caesar victorious at Munda, Spain,
against Gnaeus Pompey and surviving Senatorial supporters.
March 17, AD 180: Death of Marcus Aurelius.
March 17, AD 461: Death of Patricius, Christian Roman
evangelist to Hibernia, later canonized as Saint Patrick.

1942 Casablanca six sheet, one of two known, tops
Movie Poster event
magnificent and massive Casablanca (Warner Brothers,
1942) six sheet (81" X 81") large format movie poster, one of
just two copies known, is expected to bring $60,000+ when it comes
across the auction block as the centerpiece of Heritage Auction's
March 23-24 Vintage Movie Poster Signature® Auction.
"There are few films as beloved as Casablanca," said Grey
Smith, Director of Movie Posters at Heritage Auctions, "and few
titles that collectors covet more. Given the status of the film and
the rarity of this particular poster — there is only one other
known to exist — and you have the makings of something
Another rarity that is just one of two copies known, and
should also prove exceedingly popular with collectors is the
one sheet for MGM's 1932 classic Tarzan the Ape
Man, by far the rarest Tarzan poster known. Tarzan the
Ape Man also represents the first film that starred Johnny
Weissmuller in the title role that would go on to become his most
famous. The poster is expected to bring $25,000+.
There are few films as equally controversial and influential as
D.W. Griffith's 1915 classic silent drama Birth of a
Nation (Epoch Producing, 1915) — known for its epic scope,
top notch acting and overtly racist themes — and a one sheet poster
in the auction, in very fine condition, is expected to capture
bidder's attention to the tune of $20,000+.
"Whatever your feelings may or may not
be about Birth of a Nation, there is no denying its
cinematic heft," said Smith. "As such, collectors go after
available copies of the poster with verve when they show up. In
condition this fine, I would expect them to double their efforts to
obtain it; there's no telling when a copy as nice as this will show
up again."
For animation and Disney collectors, Heritage is offering an
extremely rare Mickey Mouse one sheet from 1932 — the first release
under the United Artists banner. It was United Artists that gave
Walt Disney the freedom and money he wanted and sent him on his way
to creating one of the biggest and best loved brands in history. It
is expected to bring $15,000.
Also, up for auction the very first time, an incredible 1938 reissue King Kong (RKO, R-1938) one
sheet, much rarer than the original poster to the film, and the
only copy known to exist, carries a pre-auction estimate of

Heritage Auctions' Estate Event Achieves $2.3+
An intricate silver presentation frame holding a signed
photograph from the Days of the Raj brought six times its
pre-auction estimate to reach $46,875, leading Heritage Auctions'
two-day, $2.3+ million Estate Auction of fine art and collectibles, Feb.
23-24. The eclectic array was offered across three sessions,
including one devoted to the second annual Gentlemen Collector
Auction and the Brent Hyder Charitable and Education Fund
collection, which brought a record crowd.
"The amount of online bidders set in-house records, but we also
worked hard to invite the local community in and we succeeded — our
floor was standing room only," said Ed Beardsley, Vice President of
Fine and Decorative Arts at Heritage. "We also saw a good bit of
interest from beginning collectors, who are realizing that auctions
are approachable and include material in all price points."
The auction saw intense biding interest for fine European
furniture and decorative arts, such as a pair of George III carved mahogany library armchairs,
which sold for $43,750, a circa 1870 French walnut and gilt bronze coffee table,
featuring nine porcelain plaques, that brought three times its
pre-auction estimate to reach $22,500, and a circa 1815 J & W Cary George III terrestrial globe, which
sold for $21,250. A circa 1900 French Louis XVI-style mahogany satinwood and gilt
bronze sideboard realized for $20,000.
Numerous decorative arts far
exceeded their pre-auction estimates, with a marble
bust titled Proserpine after Hiram Powers (American, 1805-1873)
fetching $18,750 and a Meissen
porcelain figural group: Hunter on Horseback with Dogs
achieving $18,125, while an American
Queen Anne maple tray top tea table, offered by the Santa
Barbara Museum of Art, bringing $16,250.
Auctioneer Nick Dawes
disbursed 350 hand-selected lots in a little over four hours to a
total of nearly $770,000 as part of Heritage's second annual
Gentleman Collector auction. Highlights include a selection
of fine writing instruments as a Montblanc
Qing Dynasty Precious Fountain Pen Limited Edition 8 sold for
$22,500. A collection dedicated to the history of hot air
ballooning was highlighted by a rare French
brass and wood pendulum clock in the form a balloonist, which
realized $16,250. Gentleman Collector also featured a
steam model of a Victorian shunting engine, which crossed the
block for $15,625, as well as a Mark
Al Harris hand built motorized model of a 1933-36 Bugatti model
race car, which received hundreds of bids and sold on the phone
against a collector in the room at $13,750.
Strong bidder interest for silver overlay drove prices well
beyond estimate, with a circa 1900 Alvin
overlaid green baluster form glass vase selling for $6,250, an
glass vase with overlay, bringing $4,375 and a Quezal
glass vase with overlay fetching $4,062.

After years of intrigue about allegedly corrupt World Cup bidding, FIFA published an investigation report Tuesday that showed how voters exploited the murky system yet allowed Russia and Qatar to host the 2018 and 2022 tournaments.
FIFA published investigator Michael Garcia's 430-page dossier less than 24 hours after Germany's biggest-selling daily, Bild, began reporting extracts from a leaked copy it received.
The full report verified the broad conclusions of a summary of Garcia's work published by FIFA in November 2014.
A Russia bid backed by Vladimir Putin gave limited cooperation to Garcia's team, which found no evidence of undue influence. Putin met six of 22 FIFA...

Yeah, I'll join the group and say it was more balanced than I thought it would be.
The video with Joh Rauch of 'Pink Pistols' was worth watching too.
I think the guy is basically saying in a lot of words a concept that should start every debate about guns.
To the anti-gun folk, you are granted the point that with no guns there would be no 'gun violence'.
To the pro-gun folk, you are granted the point that there is no way to get rid of guns.
In my mind's eye I see at every gun/anti-gun debate the gun folk would grudgingly admit the the first point and the anti-gun folk would hear the second point and go 'but...but...but' and then become very confused and huddle up amongst themselves and try to refute the point and come up with ways to do it that would be very similar to a law repealing the law of gravity or a law making pi (3.14...) just 3. (Wouldn't that make so many calculations so much easier?)

Watch the latest .NGO video: .NGO Explained in 90 SecondsPublic Interest Registry (PIR) — the not-for-profit operator of the .ORG domain — has formally submitted its applications to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) for the .NGO and .ONG domain extensions. PIR applied for the creation and management of the new top-level domains (TLDs) as part of ICANN's global Internet expansion initiative which would go into effect as early as 2013.
As the current manager of the .ORG domain — home to more than 9.8 million web addresses worldwide, PIR has served the interests of not-for-profit and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) since its inception in 2002. Now, by applying to establish and operate the .NGO and .ONG domains, PIR is poised to continue and expand its position as an advocate for these communities by providing an exclusive domain extension for NGOs looking for immediate recognition online and broader opportunities for public engagement, funding and partnerships.
"The 'NGO' term holds great weight globally and sets these organizations apart from commercial or governmental entities," said Brian Cute, CEO of Public Interest Registry. "After meeting with hundreds of organizations worldwide to learn more about their missions and to determine how we, as their current registry, could better serve their communities, we found that no matter the location, NGOs desired a definitive online presence to help manage members, strengthen fundraising campaigns and find potential partners and donors. Those key findings reinforced our mission and stand at the heart of our .NGO and .ONG applications."
As part of PIR's commitment to the NGO community, PIR will launch the NGO Community Program, which consists of a variety of activities all designed to help those in the NGO Community to more securely and effectively use the Internet to better accomplish their mission, with a special focus on those NGOs located in developing countries and technologically underserved areas of the world.
Added Mr. Cute: "The decision to invest in this community was a natural one. We don't want to be viewed simply as a domain registry, but instead as a trusted and valuable partner to the NGO Community — one that can empower organizations to reach their full potential."
PIR's application for .NGO is accompanied by .ONG, which serves as a linguistic expression of "Non-Governmental Organization." Linguistic expressions include French: "Organisation Non Gouvernementale," Spanish: "Organizacion No Gubernamental," and Portuguese: "Organizacao Nao Governamental."
".NGO and .ONG will provide global organizations with trusted venues to help engage their communities and broaden their reach, especially in a time when online philanthropy is just as influential and effective as an organization's offline efforts," said Osama Manzar, Founder & Director of the Digital Empowerment Foundation, a Delhi, India based not-for-profit organization. "The .NGO or .ONG stamp at the end of a web address will, in essence, provide instant credibility for legitimate organizations hoping to introduce or expand their online presences."
ICANN plans to announce all TLD applicants in June, 2012 and will review all applications including .NGO and .ONG during a "batching process" in the months ahead. For more information on PIR's pursuit of .NGO and .ONG and to keep up with important updates, subscribe to our newsletter at www.ngotld.org.
About PIR – Public Interest Registry is a nonprofit corporation that operates the .org top-level domain – the world's third largest "generic" top-level domain with more than 10 million domain names registered worldwide. As an advocate for collaboration, safety and security on the Internet, Public Interest Registry's mission is to empower the global noncommercial community to use the Internet more effectively, and to take a leadership position among Internet stakeholders on policy and other issues relating to the domain naming system.

Allawi: No political breakthrough until at least September
Former Iraqi Prime Minister and leader of the secular "Iraqia" List, Iyad Allawi on Sunday said that negotiations between the Iraqi factions have not led to results over the identity of the figures who will hold the three top positions, noting that it is not likely to achieve a breakthrough in the situation before September or October.
Allawi said also that the planned withdrawal of U.S. forces and the increased anger among Iraqis over the continuing attacks and high rates of unemployment as well as slowdown in government services created "unbalanced" political process and "a lot of problems," He warned a continuation of a "weak process" may lead to its collapse at the end of the road."
It should be mentioned that the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, General Ray Odernio has confirmed that the political crisis and continuing violence will not delay the plans to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq on schedule, but stressed he would be worried if the political crisis will not be solved by next October.

The Rabobank Group is a privately-held, international financial service provider of retail and commercial banking and lending products and services, comprised of Rabobank Nederland, the central organization; Dutch cooperative banks; and subsidiaries that operate on every major world continent, including Rabobank, N.A., which operates in California. Each affiliate is guided by the cooperative principles of the Rabobank Group, which began as a cooperative of enterprising rural farmers in the Netherlands over 100 years ago.

Nurturing sunshine brings warmth and life to A&W Farms, and their clients, every day in the San Joaquin Valley, where Alida and Willem (pictured) Veenhoven practice sustainable farming near Bakersfield. With almost 275 days of sunshine, this is the perfect place for farmers to take advantage of the sun's rays and solar energy.
The Veenhovens farm 70 acres of pistachio trees and operate a custom harvest business that chops and bales corn, alfalfa, wheat, and soybeans for the regional dairy industry.
Sustainable farmers like the Veenhovens play a key role in protecting the environment and conserving energy. Farm operations require energy for a wide variety of applications, and it can be a large, sometimes volatile expense.
Solar energy provides predictable, fixed, long-term cost savings; energy independence with limited environmental impact; federal and state tax incentives; and simple-to-maintain equipment.
The Bank financed the Veenhovens' first solar system in 2013, and the system produced enough energy to almost cancel the electricity bill for their home and farm shop. This led to the installation of a second system that upgraded the well supplying water to their irrigation system.
According to Willem, "the system for the house and shop should pay for itself in 4.3 years, but with how electricity prices are going up, I think we will pay it back in four years. The second solar system should pay for itself in about seven years."
The sweet sounds of music, inviting smells, and friendly people at the Oak Park Farmers' Market held at Sacramento's McClatchy Park make it a must stop on a beautiful Saturday morning. The 125-year-old park covers 15 acres of large-shade oak trees with picnic tables, along with a whole range of outside activities for kids and adults.
The weekly celebration is the ultimate in the farm-to-table experience from May to November. The Market offers a large variety of items from high-quality fruits and vegetables, flowers and plants, and cheese and eggs to fish and stewed chickens, as well as locally-prepared treats such as Yolanda's Tamales and Upper Crust Bread. Add to that, free activities that can include massages, yoga classes, classic car shows, face painting, and art projects for children coordinated with the Crocker Art Museum. There are also cooking competitions, care fairs with health screenings, and booths staffed by local organizations.
Operated by NeighborWorks® Sacramento, an affordable housing and community organization, the Market was originally organized five years ago by concerned residents who wanted a grocery alternative to the small stores and fast food restaurants that dominate the area. NeighborWorks was instrumental in helping residents get the Market off the ground.
Rabobank, N.A. provided funding to help start the Market and has continued to fund annual purchase incentives for low-income CalFresh customers that double their spending money. This incentive accounts for a significant portion of sales for many farmers and growers. The
Market also accepts WIC benefits (nutrition program for women, infants, and children).
"Through our Rabobank partnership, families have an incentive to shop at the Farmers' Market. They might have thought it was too expensive, but now they can take $20 and make it $40," said Sharon Eghigian (pictured), NeighborWorks Community Impact Manager. "That's lower than grocery store prices for locally-grown, organic, pesticide-free produce picked that same day."
Joe Moreno (pictured) is a poet and grandfather who retired and found a safe, quiet, and friendly place to live at Salinas Gateway Senior Apartments, located in the heart of historic downtown Salinas.
The Bank was one of the financing sources for the award-winning 52-unit affordable housing and commercial retail project which contains many sustainable features that cut residents' energy use and utility costs. These features earned a certification for environmentally-friendly design, construction, operation, and maintenance. The most innovative feature is the living vegetated roof (pictured) that insulates the interior, reduces sound transmission, and conserves water.
Moreno has only praise for his new home and social activities that connect him with other residents in the building. Residents get free bus passes that make it easy for Moreno to visit his grandchildren in neighboring cities. And he is within walking distance of banks, restaurants, shopping, parks, museums, his doctor, and the library, where he can take his young granddaughter to get books.
Residents also get ready access to services and resources designed for older adults. Half of the units are reserved for seniors that need daily help with living activities, with on-site services to assist their special needs.
Moreno said his new apartment brings him peace, adding "Now, I just want to make the best of life."
Marcia Ruth's (pictured) love of learning and creativity led her to become an educator, journalist, and artist. In 2008, losses from the financial crisis forced her to ask herself "What do you do when you turn 70?" Her response in 2013 at the age of 75 was to launch a home-based business, which creates unique educational tools and sculptural art.
Kinesthetic or tactile learning involves learning through touching and doing, as opposed to watching or listening. Ruth tapped into this market with a business that sells laser-cut, hand-assembled, 3-dimensional, birch maps (laser and map are pictured).
Ruth began by selling a map of California displaying its extreme features – contrasting mountain ranges, volcanic peaks, agricultural valleys, and areas below sea level. She has since added a puzzle map of San Francisco and maps of Oregon/Washington and Yosemite National Park; with plans to create national and global maps. The products are made to be sturdy, decorative, and artistic for the classroom, home, or office.
The California Capital Women's Business Center (WBC), hosted by the California Capital Financial Development Corporation, and partially funded by the Small Business Administration (SBA), offers training and assistance to entrepreneurs like Ruth. The Bank provided start-up funds for the WBC.
The WBC assisted Ruth with free tax planning, financing, and social media classes, and also helped her secure a $3,000 SBA microloan. "For people my age, often what we're looking for is under $5,000. A $5,000 loan is like $5 million to me," said Ruth.
The success of Rio de Parras Organics proves that hard work can make a dream come true when people really like what they do. Eleazar (pictured) and Ana Juarez, who own and operate the business, enjoy being their own bosses and growing healthy produce for their customers.
After many years of working on farms in the United States, the Juarezes decided to create a family farming operation named after their native town in Michoacán, Mexico. They began by graduating from the Farmer Education Program offered by the nonprofit Agriculture and Land Based Training Association (ALBA) in Salinas, which assists beginning farmers, leases land to graduates at a discount, buys graduates' produce, and helps them transition to their own farms.
The Juarezes became certified organic producers in Monterey County in 2005. They cultivate a variety of fruits and vegetables year round, including broccoli, cauliflower, chard, kale, lettuce, cilantro, bell peppers, radishes, tomatoes, and strawberries. Now they operate stands at weekly farmers' markets in cities from Monterey to Sacramento, and run a year-round community-supported agriculture (CSA) business in Lake Tahoe. CSA is another way for a consumer to buy local produce directly from a farmer by buying a membership that entitles the consumer to a box of produce each week during the farming season.
The Juarezes' farming operations have grown with loan support and technical assistance from California FarmLink, a Santa Cruz nonprofit that helps underserved and beginning farmers access land, capital, and expertise. The Bank funds ALBA and California FarmLink programs.
Ana (not pictured) said that California FarmLink had been an important partner in her family's success. "We've gotten loans from them twice – we always need money to invest in equipment – and it's been great because the people there are very helpful."
Farmers get great satisfaction from working outdoors and watching their fruits, vegetables, and trees grow into delicious, healthy produce, but they need cost-efficient distribution channels. Food hubs are one method of conveniently connecting farmers with businesses and their ultimate consumers.
Hubs connect small local growers with local, large volume buyers, such as grocery retailers, restaurants, distributors, hospitals, hotels, and schools. They can be on-site produce warehouses or online platforms where growers and buyers arrange sales. Food hubs enable farmers to combine their harvests; coordinate marketing; reduce sales costs; address food safety issues; and coordinate the storage, delivery, and transportation of their products.
Through a grant to 3Core, Rabobank, N.A. funded a hub feasibility study for the new online North Valley Food Hub, serving Butte, Glenn, and Tehama counties. 3Core is the nonprofit economic development planning and coordinating agency for a nine-city area. The hub study led to the creation of the California Finance Consortium, which provides lending, investments, and support to nonprofits and small businesses in a 17-county region.
The Bank assists the Consortium by supplying equity for loan programs and awarding grants to its members. Consortium participants include the Sierra Economic Development Corporation, Superior California Economic Development, Arcata Economic Development Corporation, and the Yuba-Sutter Economic Development Corporation.
"I don't think we'd be where we are without the incredible support of 3Core and Rabobank," said Noelle Ferdon, the Food Hub's Director (pictured).
It's a standard joke that kids won't eat their vegetables, but when the lunch bells bring students to the cafeteria at Blanche Reynolds School in Ventura, over 400 students from kindergarten through eighth grade head enthusiastically to a shiny new self-serve salad bar.
Installed with financial support from the Bank, it is easy for staff to use, easy for students to reach, and accommodates a greater variety of fruits, vegetables, and condiments than previously available.
Each day at Blanche Reynolds, students get their regular lunch, along with access to the salad bar, which is stocked with fresh, colorful items that go well with that particular day's lunch. This has encouraged students to try new foods, add variety to their diets, and create their own meals, meaning less food goes in the trash.
The salad bar is one of 11 funded by Rabobank for the Kern Union High School District, Hickman Community Charter District, and Ventura Unified School District (Superintendent, Dr. Trudy Arriaga; Director, Food and Nutrition Services, Kara Muniz; and Operations Specialist, Katherine Martin, pictured from left to right) through the Let's Move Salad Bars to California Schools initiative, launched in 2012 by the United Fresh Produce Foundation.
The Bank's contribution stems from its recognition that most kids don't eat the recommended daily amounts of fruits and vegetables, and good nutrition leads to better academic performance.
"The most successful children are supported at home, school, and in the wider community," concluded Anne Roundy-Harter, Blanche Reynolds' principal (not pictured).
Rabobank, N.A. is proud to serve California's agricultural communities and work for the interests of local individuals, families, and organizations. Through our network of branches and financial service centers, the Bank continuously addresses the financial service needs of our communities and supply the best possible financial solutions. Whether financing affordable housing, supporting a farmers' market, financing a solar system for a pistachio farmer, or helping a map-making business, our goal is to help communities achieve their highest potential growth.
Rabobank, N.A. strives to meet the credit and banking needs of all segments of the communities in which it operates, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, small businesses, and small farms, as outlined under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). The Bank's multifaceted CRA program is designed to meet the specific, targeted needs of each of our customers' communities. This includes making affordable housing loans for low-income families, farm workers, seniors, and special needs individuals, whatever is needed.
Rabobank, N.A. plays a key role in its communities through the support of a wide variety of local events, from rodeos to relays-for-life, as well as active, ongoing volunteerism by our employees. The Bank takes the time to build long-term relationships and work shoulder-to-shoulder with its neighbors to bring knowledge, hard work, and collaborations together. Rabobank, N.A. operates with a core set of values that focus on being involved, maintaining local decision making, achieving consistent product and service delivery, and providing leadership to keep up with our customers' changing needs.

Civil Rights Activism, Then and Now,
To be Examined During Otelia Cromwell Day at Smith, Oct. 30
Editor's note: Digital images of speakers
are available, as are images from the Civil Rights-era photographs
of Maria Varela. Contact Laurie Fenlason at (413) 585-2190 or firstname.lastname@example.com
to request.
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. -- In recognition of
the 40th anniversary of a number of key events in the movement for desegregation
and civil rights, Smith College's Otelia Cromwell Day celebration will
focus this year on themes of civil rights and campus progressive activism.
Otelia Cromwell Day, an annual event honoring
the college's first known African-American graduate, will be celebrated
on Thursday, Oct. 30. An array of films, concerts, talks, exhibits and
presentations during that week will examine the legacy of activists who
have devoted their lives to social change.
Commenting on the program's theme, Acting
Director of Institutional Diversity Fletcher Blanchard noted that Smith
students "regularly -- and passionately -- take up issues of social
"We intend the program this year to
acknowledge those commitments and to honor the lifelong commitments of
those have worked for change before them."
Kevin Quashie, assistant professor of Afro-American
studies, co-chaired the Otelia Cromwell Day planning committee with Blanchard.
He hopes the program will bring forth "lessons that were learned
in the past that might be of relevance to what people are thinking about
in our current national and international political climate."
At 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 28, three key figures
in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) -- Charles Cobb,
Judy Richardson and Maria Varela -- will gather in the Leo Weinstein
Auditorium in Wright Hall to reflect on the role of student activism
during the Civil Rights Movement and parallels for campus movements today.
Cobb -- currently senior writer and diplomatic
correspondent for allAfrica.com and co-author of "Radical Equations,
Math Literacy and Civil Rights"-- left Howard University in 1962
to work as a field secretary for SNCC in the Mississippi Delta. There
he accompanied Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer on her first attempt to register
to vote. He originated the "Freedom School" idea and proposal
that became a crucial part of the 1964 Mississippi Summer Project.
Richardson, currently senior producer at
Northern Light Productions/Boston, has been associated with the Academy
Award-nominated 14-hour PBS series "Eyes on the Prize" since
1979. During the 1960s, she served with SNCC on its projects in Mississippi,
Alabama and Georgia. She is part of a group of SNCC women editing "Hands
on the Freedom Plow," an anthology chronicling the civil rights
work of more than 50 women in the Southern freedom movement.
Varela, a Macarthur fellowship recipient,
is an internationally recognized authority on rural economic development.
She joined SNCC in 1962 and became interested in capturing images of
black people leading change in their communities. Now a noted photographer,
she is the first Latina woman to document the struggle for civil rights
in the South. A selection of 20 of her Civil Rights-era photographs will
be on exhibit during the week of Oct. 20 in the Kahn Institute, located
on the third floor of Neilson Library.
At noon on Wednesday, Oct. 29, in Room 208
of the Campus Center, Leigh Raiford, Woodrow Wilson Postdoctoral Fellow
at the Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies at Duke University and
a specialist in issues of race and ethnicity, will present a slide lecture,
discussion and exhibit titled "Photography of the Civil Rights Movement." An
historian, Raiford will discuss the meanings of images of the Civil Rights
Movement in contemporary culture.
Pioneering civil rights activist Grace Lee
Boggs will present the Otelia Cromwell Day keynote address at 1:15 p.m.
Thursday, Oct. 30., in Sweeney Concert Hall, Sage Hall.
A longtime activist, writer and speaker,
Boggs is the author of the acclaimed 1998 autobiography "Living
for Change," which documents her participation in some of the most
defining social movements in American history, such as promoting civil
rights, women's rights and environmental responsibility. Her autobiography
is widely used in college classes on social activism and the recent history
of social movements in America.
At 88, Boggs, a tireless protector of social
justice, continues to oversee the Boggs Center, a nonprofit community
organization in Detroit she founded in 1995 with her late husband, James
Boggs. She also remains active in the Detroit Agricultural Network and
the Committee for the Political Resurrection of Detroit. Her talk will
be preceded by a performance of the Smith College Glee Club and followed
by a book signing.
At 3:30 p.m. that day in Neilson Library
Browsing Room panelists will discuss Smith College's involvement in 1960s-era
civil rights groups and movements. Participants will include former Smith
Chaplain Richard Unsworth, Professor of Religion Emeritus Thomas Derr
and Smith College alumnae Phoebe A. Haddon and Lillian Louise Hall.
The closing event of the day will be a production
of the play "Freedom in the Air!," written by Smith alumna
Mistinguette Smith in collaboration with the city of Northampton's Martin
Luther King, Jr., Day Committee. A multimedia production, "Freedom," starts
at 7 p.m. in John M. Greene Hall and is co-produced by the American Friends
Service Committee.
All events are free and open to the public.

It sounds like you have a couple of problems.First I think you have to much oil in the system and the next thing I would check is the condensor.If the pressure shoots up that quick you may have a blockage in the condensor,it could also be blocked with to much oil.You did not mention just what you are putting this system on and that would be helpfull.
It is a boat refrigeration system with a cold plate the Old York worked just fine with it. How could to much oil get in the system? the Sanden compressor came with oil and the tech put standard 134a gasin and the receiver was new. aAlot of oil came out when I opened the system after he charged it as noted in my last email. So I have evacuated it after putting in the new receiver should I just charge it again and see what happens?? or what
At this point I would drain the condensor and make sure that is does not have any more than an ounce of oil in it.You could also try a flush,with the pressure that high it would seem that there is a restreiction some where and it is usually in the condensor.
if I drain it do I need to put more oil back in or would the new gas be enough? by the way the new gas 134a has syntheic oil is that ok
That is ok just make sure you have a little oil in the condensor.
