Afghan government on Monday approved change in color of uniform for school girls.
Based on the approval, school girls across the country will wear dresses with blue or grey colour instead of prevailing black.
It came during the regular ministerial council meeting presided by Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah.
Abdullah instructed that blue and grey should be intended for primary and high schoolgirls.
Earlier, the education ministry proposed blue, grey and navy blue for girls in primary, middle and high schools respectively.
Javed Faisal, the deputy spokesman for the chief executive, told 1TV that the decision will cover public schools not private ones.
He said that the colour of the scarf of the schoolgirls will remain white.
The change will take effect as the next educational year begins - in March.
During the Taliban rule prior to 2001, Afghan girls were barred from going to schools. However, currently thousands of girls attend schools in the country.
The change in the uniform of the girls come after complaints that black absorbs the heat and that it is associated with unhappiness.
During the ministerial council meeting, Afghan Education Minister Asadullah Hanif Balkhi said that the UAE Red Crescent will provide 40,000 clothes in assistance for schoolchildren in Afghanistan.

When designing the ship used by the Earth Salvage Corporation I decided I wanted it to have a more military feel. Although the salvagers are not military
they do have to sometimes protect themselves from unknown threats. I decided to look at Modern Fighter Jets to see if I could come up with a rough sketch. The sketch I came up with I decided to try colouring it digitally in Photoshop.
I took inspiration from various sources, mainly military aircraft.

In this paper we study the modelling of consensus reach- ing in a `soft' environment, i.e. when the individual testi- monies are expressed as fuzzy preference relations. Here consensus is meant as the degree to which most of the experts agree on the preferences associated to the most relevant alternatives. First of all we derive a degree of dissensus based on linguistic quantifiers and then we in- troduce a form of network dynamics in which the quanti- fiers are represented by scaling functions. Next, assuming that the decision makers can express their preferences in a more flexible way, i.e. by means of triangular fuzzy num- bers, we describe the iterative process of opinion chang- ing towards consensus via the gradient dynamics of a cost function expressed as a linear combination of a dis- sensus cost function and an inertial cost function. Finally, some computer simulations are carried out together with a short description of a case study in progress. keywords group decision making; consensus; fuzzy pref- erence relations; linguistic quantifiers; fuzzy numbers; gradient dynamics.

Binaural cues occurring in natural environments are frequently time varying, either from the motion of a sound source or through interactions between the cues produced by multiple sources. Yet, a broad understanding of how the auditory system processes dynamic binaural cues is still lacking. In the current study, we directly compared neural responses in the inferior colliculus (IC) of unanesthetized rabbits to broadband noise with time-varying interaural time differences (ITD) with responses to noise with sinusoidal amplitude modulation (SAM) over a wide range of modulation frequencies. On the basis of prior research, we hypothesized that the IC, one of the first stages to exhibit tuning of firing rate to modulation frequency, might use a common mechanism to encode time-varying information in general. Instead, we found weaker temporal coding for dynamic ITD compared with amplitude modulation and stronger effects of adaptation for amplitude modulation. The differences in temporal coding of dynamic ITD compared with SAM at the single-neuron level could be a neural correlate of "binaural sluggishness," the inability to perceive fluctuations in time-varying binaural cues at high modulation frequencies, for which a physiological explanation has so far remained elusive. At ITD-variation frequencies of 64 Hz and above, where a temporal code was less effective, noise with a dynamic ITD could still be distinguished from noise with a constant ITD through differences in average firing rate in many neurons, suggesting a frequency-dependent tradeoff between rate and temporal coding of time-varying binaural information.
NEW & NOTEWORTHY Humans use time-varying binaural cues to parse auditory scenes comprising multiple sound sources and reverberation. However, the neural mechanisms for doing so are poorly understood. Our results demonstrate a potential neural correlate for the reduced detectability of fluctuations in time-varying binaural information at high speeds, as occurs in reverberation. The results also suggest that the neural mechanisms for processing time-varying binaural and monaural cues are largely distinct.

Knot your Average Eye Practice
A New Office That's Also Roped Into the Past
When optometrist Jan Mertz decided to open her own eye practice, she jumped at the chance to rent a space in the revived Cordage Park, a historic old rope factory that was renovated into an office park in Plymouth, Mass. "Patients, colleagues and sales reps exclaim, 'How gorgeous,' and 'Wow,' whenever they come in for the first time," she says. "The floors are the original floors from the 1800s and are beautiful, wide-planked, dark wooden boards despite the scarring from the years of rope manufacturing. All the ceilings are 12 to 15 feet and the windows go from floor to ceiling and still have the original glass."
Dr. Mertz opened her practice, M2Eye, in mid-January of 2008, after 25 years in the field working for private and commercial practices, the military and teaching in California and Boston. Besides herself, she has one other employee to work the front desk. Her husband, Dr. James Mertz, recently got his optometry degree, which he uses in conjunction with his Ph.D. in biochemistry to teach at the New England College of Optometry. In the future, he will have his own exam lane and spend one or two days a week sharing the practice with his wife, which was the original motivation behind the practice name. "He's so smart," says Dr. Jan Mertz. "He sees the whole picture and really knows how to take care of a patient."
In addition to his medical experience, Dr. James Mertz is also an accomplished woodworker—he built the front desk of the practice from 15 feet of dark, curved wood, which he hand-stained before applying a top laminate that looks like marble. Dr. Jan Mertz incorporated mahogany frame cabinets to match the wood of the front desk and floors and also found furniture with glass tabletops to allow the rich, old floors to show through. Because the office is only 550 square feet total, lots of mirrors were placed to visually increase the space, including a 10 foot by five foot mirror with the office logo sandblasted into it, as well as a two-way mirror into the dispensary so that outside pedestrians can "window shop" while customers try on frames.
Although Dr. Mertz says her specialty has always been contact lens fittings, she has recently become the go-to person for bifocals and bifocal contacts. "I just became presbyopic myself, so I know what it's like to reach an age where you can't read anymore," she says. "I guess I didn't really get it until now, when it happened to me." She uses her personal experience to help Baby Boomers deal with the issues that arise from aging eyes. Now she draws a large group of middle-age customers who want bifocal glasses and contacts.
But Dr. Mertz is not content to just sit back and wait for patients to come to her. She gives talks in offices throughout the Cordage Park complex, encouraging people to take care of their vision and explaining the warning signs and treatments for problems like glaucoma and cataracts. She networks with a local women's business group through the chamber of commerce, getting the word out about her practice and its specialties. And, of course, her parents refer all their friends.
Dr. Mertz is also able to work with uninsured patients to provide them with the care they need. "I spent time working in a homeless shelter when I was in optometry school," she says. "It's a good service and we can provide them with quality frames and take care of their vision."
But that's not the only thing Dr. Mertz has done for a good cause. Last Labor Day weekend, she swam a mile in the Atlantic Ocean to raise money for the National Eye Institute. She and her two college-aged children, Valerie, 20, and Vincent, 19, participated in the Mayflower International Triathlon that included a 30-mile bike ride completed by Vincent and a 6.2-mile run completed by Valerie. "At first the children were going to do it themselves, but the swimming part got a little bit daunting," Dr. Mertz says. "So they figured they'd ask mom to do it, since they know I love to swim." After months of training Dr. Mertz completed her mile-long swim in the harbor in front of her office park and raised a small but helpful sum of money to donate to the institute.
Of course, all the networking and advertising in the world wouldn't matter if Dr. Mertz didn't have the quality service and inventory to provide to her new customers. "I have very nice reps who come in and keep me up-to-date," she says. "We try to keep our frame boards current." With about 700 frames on display, all hand-picked by Dr. Mertz, it's easy to offer multiple options to customers with confidence. "I would wear any frame that's in my dispensary," says Dr. Mertz. Popular brands she sells range from Gucci, Burberry and Ralph Lauren to Vogue and Luxottica's Memorize line.
In addition to picking all her stock, Dr. Mertz also uses an inventory system to keep track of her sales by computer. Every frame has a bar code so the OD can keep track of which frames sell the most, what hasn't sold, etc., as well as give receipts and keep track of transactions for warranty claims or returns. "We want people to be 100 percent happy all the time," she says. "I want people to see good, look good and feel good." With every exam or frame purchase, she gives out cleaning cloths with her name and phone number on them. "I tell them, 'See this number? This is for you to always call me,'" she says. "I will make calls during off hours to see someone. It's better for them to see me immediately than to go to the ER and wait and wait and wait."
Dr. Mertz's love for her job is apparent in her dedication to quality service and customer satisfaction. "I love taking care of people and their vision," she says. "It's a lot of responsibility and an honor. I feel very privileged that I can take care of someone's eyes."


text: Hi, I own a HTC incredible, and I sometimes need to get a call on skype. I turn on the skype mobile and was expecting it to be on continuously in the background so that my friend, once she logs on, can give me a call. However, every now and then I would check, and the skype mobile would be signed off. Is this normal? If it is, is there a way to make it on permanently until i turn it off? Thank you.

McClellan Memoir a Scathing Critique of Media, Too
Former Bush Press Secretary Scott McClellan's memoir didn't just blast the White House, it also blasted the media for failing to ask tougher questions in the run-up to the Iraq war. Jonathan Landay, national security correspondent for McClatchy Newspapers, was among the few reporters who did question the administration's claims about the war.
GUY RAZ, host:
It's not just Democrats fighting one another but Republicans as well. This week, past and present White House officials went on the attack against former spokesman Scott McClellan. McClellan, of course, released his tell-all book, a scathing critique of the president.
McClellan's book didn't just shock the White House; it also took a lot of reporters by surprise, in part because he blasts the media to failing to ask tougher questions in the run-up to the Iraq war; questions that people like McClellan himself refused to answer.
Well, we thought we'd turn to Jonathan Landay. He's the national security correspondent for McClatchy Newspapers. Landay was among the few reporters who questioned the administration's claims about the war before it happened. Welcome to the program.
Mr. JONATHAN LANDAY (National Security Correspondent, McClatchy Newspapers): My pleasure.
RAZ: Why do you take this book so personally?
Mr. LANDAY: What this book has done is sort of revived the whole debate over what the administration did to sell the war to the American people and indeed the world. And it has rejuvenated the debate also on the rule that the news media played.
RAZ: When somebody like Scott McClellan comes out and in a sense reverses course, does it surprise you or does it anger you?
Mr. LANDAY: I have to be absolutely perfectly honest, I'm somewhat angered. What they were putting out rises way beyond the level of propaganda. I've become convinced that what they were doing, what they were running, was a military-style disinformation campaign.
RAZ: You're talking about the White House press secretary.
Mr. LANDAY: Absolutely.
RAZ: Under Scott McClellan.
Mr. LANDAY: That he was complicit. And to come out now and try and do this mea culpa, for me, just doesn't wash.
RAZ: I mean, doesn't Scott McClellan have a point in a sense when he argues that the media didn't do its job in questioning the administration hard enough?
Mr. LANDAY: Oh, he's absolutely right about that. Some of the news organizations that helped sell the administration's case for war are still not willing to take responsibility for what they did.
RAZ: Do you see anything positive maybe coming out of this book?
Mr. LANDAY: I think it's a good thing whenever someone like Scott McClellan decides to come out and be honest. But as the media itself having an opportunity to reexamine the role that it played in helping to sell the war, I haven't seen any indication of that. Indeed, I've seen leading media figures who seem to be trying to exonerate themselves for a failure every bit as egregious as the failure of the U.S. intelligence community to do its job in assessing properly the threat that Iraq posed.
RAZ: Jonathan Landay is the senior national security correspondent for McClatchy Newspapers. Jonathan, thanks so much for being with us.
Mr. LANDAY: My pleasure.

McClellan: Bush Embraced Political 'Game' Too Often
Read an excerpt from Scott McClellan's book, What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception.
Former Bush Press Secretary Scott McClellan dropped a bombshell on the White House on Wednesday. But he insists in an interview with NPR that his new behind-the scenes book is not simply the work of a disgruntled ex-employee — as some of his former colleagues have argued — but a stab at truth-telling to help clean up Washington.
In What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception, McClellan offers a scathing behind-the scenes glimpse into the Oval Office. He left the White House in 2006 after serving as press secretary for nearly three years.
McClellan states in the book that the Bush administration used a "political propaganda campaign" to sell the Iraq war, managing the lead-up to the conflict in a way that almost guaranteed that the use of force would be the only feasible option.
"The point is that what we did was instead of really approaching this in an open and forthright way, we went to war, basically trying to sell it to the American people much like you would sell any other policy issue you'd want to get passed in Congress," McClellan tells Renee Montagne.
Although in the interview he stopped short of saying the administration purposefully misled the country, McClellan says President Bush and his advisers succumbed to what he called the Washington "game."
"I don't think it was intentional or deliberate," McClellan says. "What happened here was we got caught up in the very thing the president campaigned against when he was first running for president back in 2000 — the destructive, partisan tone in Washington."
The Bush administration "set up a massive political operation that was aimed at really continuing that permanent way of governing — going out and shaping and manipulating the narrative in the media to one's advantage."
That's the nature of Washington, McClellan says, and "that's something I think most Americans are ready for us to move beyond."
Bush's popularity has been low for so long, according to McClellan, because the administration did not work to embrace a high level of openness and candor, and lost sight of the merits of bipartisanship and negotiation.
"It's not a deliberate effort on the president's part or many of his advisers to go out there and be misleading or engage in spin. It's just the way the game's become played in Washington, and we embraced it too often," he says.
McClellan's former colleagues have issued brutal critiques of the book since word of its contents began to surface earlier this week. The book had been set to be released Monday but became available Wednesday.
Former Bush adviser Karl Rove said in an appearance on Fox News that if McClellan had concerns over the handling of the Iraq war, he should have spoken up. Others in the Bush administration have echoed Rove's remarks. McClellan himself expressed similar sentiments as press secretary when former national security aide Richard Clarke released a book criticizing White House policy.
So why didn't McClellan speak up at the time?
"I felt that it was important to give this solid team around the president and the president himself the benefit of the doubt," he says. "And as time went on I think some of my views have evolved."
McClellan, who served as deputy press secretary during the lead-up to the Iraq war and took over as press secretary in July 2003, blames his silence partly on a "bubble" that is created simply by being at the White House. The bubble, he says, "obscures the larger truths of things."
He also says he had great respect and affection for the president, whom he followed from Texas where Bush was governor.
But Bush should ultimately be held accountable for a mismanaged war, he says.
"Absolutely he has to accept responsibility for the things that went right and the things that went wrong. Unfortunately, the things that went wrong overshadowed that which went right," McClellan says.
White House Press Secretary Dana Perino said at a news conference that Bush is "puzzled" and "disappointed" at McClellan's book.
"He doesn't recognize this as the Scott McClellan that he hired and confided in and worked with for so many years," Perino said. "I think it's just a sad situation."

A Phase II Trial of Sunitinib in Never-smokers With Lung Adenocarcinoma: Identification of Oncogenic Alterations Underlying Sunitinib Sensitivity
If you are willing to participate in this research study you will be asked to undergo some
screening tests and procedures to confirm that you are eligible. Many of these tests and
procedures are likely to be part of regular cancer care and may be done even if it turns out
that you do not take part in the research study. If you have had some of these tests or
procedures recently, they may or may not have to be repeated. These tests and procedures
will include: a medical history, complete physical exam, performance status, assessment of
your tumor, routine blood tests, urine pregnancy test, urine test, electrocardiogram, and an
echocardiogram. In order to screen for and participate in this study, your tumor sample must
have been tested for genetic alterations in EGFR, KRAS and ALK and been found to have
negative results. Alternatively, you must have had testing that determined that your tumor
sample has a RET mutation. You will not be eligible to screen on this study unless these
testing requirements have already been met. In addition to the above requirements, before
starting other screening for the study, it must be confirmed that there is adequate tumor
tissue left from a previous surgery or biopsy for required study-related tests. This tumor
specimen is stored in a pathology department in a paraffin block. If adequate tumor tissue
isn't available, you may be able to have a new biopsy of our tumor to obtain this tissue. If
the required tests and procedures show that you are eligible to participate in the research
study, you will begin the study drug. If you do not meet all of the eligibility criteria,
you will not be able to participate in this research study.
If you take part in this research study, you will be given a study drug-dosing diary for
each treatment cycle. Each treatment cycle lasts 42 days (6 weeks), during which time you
will be taking the study drug daily (at home, by mouth) for 28 days (four weeks), followed
by 2 weeks off sunitinib. On Day 1 of each cycle, you will be given a 28 days supply of
study drug. The diary that you will be given on Day 1 of each cycle will also include
special instructions for taking the sunitinib.
There is a possibility that the following tests or procedures may need to be done at times
other than those listed below. These may be done if your research doctor determines they are
medically necessary to monitor your illness or any side effects you may be experiencing. It
is important that you call your research doctor if at any time you are experiencing side
effects you cannot tolerate.
During Cycles 1-3, you will be seen every two weeks on Days 1, 15 and 29 and during Cycles
4-6, you will be seen on Days 1 and 29. Starting with Cycle 7, you will only have a clinic
visit on DAy 1 of every six-week cycle.
During all cycles you will have a physical exam and you will be asked questions about your
general health and specific questions about any problems that you might be having and any
medications you may be taking. At different times throughout the study you will also undergo
the following: side effect review, current medication review, weight, vital signs, physical
exam, performance status, blood sample collection, review of drug diary and ECG.
We will assess your tumor(s) by CT scans ever six weeks (at the end of each cycle). CT scans
will also be repeated at the End of Study if they weren't done within the previous 30 days.
During the study, your tumor sample will be tested and analyzed for genomic changes (changes
in your tumor genes) that may be associated with the effectiveness of sunitinib. As a
comparison, your blood will also be tested for changes in these genes. These genomic tests
will be for research only and you will not be informed of their results. If you withdraw
from the study and yuor tumor sample has already been tested, the remaining tumor material
will be sent to the pathology department that first tested your tissue for cancer. However,
the collected information related to your participation in this study and your genomic
testing will remain part of the overall research data and used for the analysis.
We would like to keep track of your medical condition for the rest of your life. We would
like to do this by calling you on the telephone once a year to see how you are doing.
Keeping in touch with you and checking your condition every year helps us look at the
long-term effects of the research study.
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Evaluate Objective Response Rate to Sunitinib
To evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) to sunitinib in never-smokers with lung cancers that are wild-type for EGFR, KRAS, and ALK in a single-arm phase II trial

Series: Gold Seer Trilogy #1
Publication Date: September 22, 2015
Publisher: Greenwillow Books
Reading Level: Young Adult
Pages: 432 pages (ARC)
Source: From Publisher For Review
Gold is in my blood, in my breath, even in the flecks in my eyes.
Lee Westfall has a strong, loving family. She has a home she loves and a loyal steed. She has a best friend—who might want to be something more.
She also has a secret.
Lee can sense gold in the world around her. Veins deep in the earth. Small nuggets in a stream. Even gold dust caught underneath a fingernail. She has kept her family safe and able to buy provisions, even through the harshest winters. But what would someone do to control a girl with that kind of power? A person might murder for it.
When everything Lee holds dear is ripped away, she flees west to California—where gold has just been discovered. Perhaps this will be the one place a magical girl can be herself. If she survives the journey.
The acclaimed Rae Carson begins a sweeping new trilogy set in Gold Rush-era America, about a young woman with a powerful and dangerous gift.
~*~Lili's Reflections~*~
I support authors going off and exploring genres other than the ones that made them famous, but I acknowledge that such a thing can hurt them. I think it hurt Rae Carson in my eyes. Her GIRL OF FIRE AND THORNS trilogy is among my ultimate favorites, and I was so excited to hear that she would be writing another series that is a western historical YA with fantastical elements. But this book just fell ridiculously flat for me.
Let me get a few thoughts out of the way:
Carson used the brilliant mind to create a ridiculously compelling and unique idea, and she didn't take advantage of her own brilliance. I mean, a girl who can sense gold during the gold rush?! Freaking amazing! But the fantasy was barely there. It would come in small spurts only when it was necessary. Need some money? Oh, hey, Lee senses a small bit of gold ten paces that way! Lost a boy? Have no fear, he had a gold locket around his neck! Lee to the rescue! Every time her abilities came out, I was kind of rolling my eyes because it was so pointless. Such a cool idea was not executed as greatly as it could have been.
Not to mention the fact that most of this book is a journey. I am all for adventure, journeys of self-discovery, girls pretending to be boys and kicking major ass in a time period where they simply were not believed to be capable of such things. Sign me up! But this book was just one long journey...where a lot of the same thing happened...and there was a lot of death and stupidity...and you couldn't even bring yourself to truly care about certain parts because it dragged so much due to the monotony of it all. When the pacing fell away it was almost like my mind turned into a sentence of infinite elipses just going and going and going until it finds the proper moment to come to a stop.
But, with all of that in mind, this ending gives me hope. Now that we have endured a lot of boredom (at least for me), we have the potential for absolute awesomeness in book two. I think that Carson created such a heavy world and wanted to do history justice so much that she made book one a single, massive world-building experiment with a forced romance that had me rolling my eyes more than anything else. While it is not the most ideal way to go about things, I think it sets up everything nicely for book two. We've got a heroine to root for with a crew we have grown to love/respect/know, villains we want to die, fantastical abilities that will hopefully be put to use the way they deserve to be, and an amazing author to bring it all together.
I haven't lost faith in Carson, but I think this pedestal I put her on is what caused me to be so disappointed in this. I was expecting an epic tale of high stakes like her older books, and I got a tale with high stakes that may be epic to some but not to me. It's like book one suffered from sequel syndrome with having to connect the dots to make sure the big climax can happen in the next book. And I think it genuinely will happen because, despite it all, Carson has given us a strong heroine worth rooting for.
I look forward to the next book in the Gold Seer trilogy, but my excitement for book one and subsequent disappointed has tampered down my excitement for book two to cautious yet eager optimism.
2.5 stars

South Afican all-round cricketer Jacques Kallis announced yesterday that he will be retiring from Test Cricket after the Boxing Day match against India (which starts in Durban today). He won't be available for selection for the South African squad for the February 2014 Australian tour of South Africa. He also stated that he doesn't intend to stop playing cricket entirely and would still like to represent South Africa in the Cricket World Cup in 2015 (which will be jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand).
Kallis made his Test Cricket Debut for South Africa in 1995. During the course of his test career he has played in 165 tests, scored over 13,000 runs (44 centuries, 58 half centuries and 2 double centuries), taken 292 wickets and 199 catches. He was also named as the Leading Cricketer in the World in 2008 (by Wisden), the ICC Test Player of the Year in 2007 and the ICC Player of the Year in 2005. He has scored the fourth most runs in the history test cricket behind Sachin Tendulkar (15,837), Ricky Ponting (13,378) and Rahul Dravid (13,288).
It will be interesting to see if Kallis can get his 200th test catch and 300th test wicket in the match against India. It will be a fitting end to a brilliant test career. So, open up a beer or two, switch on the telly and enjoy Jacques Kallis last match. It's going to be weird not seeing his name on the South African test team sheet in the future.
If you're going to miss Jacques Kallis, spread the word about his achievements by sharing this article with your friends on Facebook and Twitter. Remember: Sharing is caring.

Adapted by David Wu – from Dr. Seuss's "Oh, the Places You'll Go!"
[Posted a few hours prior to Super Bowl XLVIII]
Congratulations, Hawks!
Today is your day!
You're in the Bowl Super!
The game's 48th!
You have dreams in your head.
You have cleats on your shoes.
Your QB will throw
Any direction he'll choose
You're not on your own – you've got the 12th Man
Consisting of loyalists (and a few wagonbands)
You studied your gameplan. Looked it over with care.
You took into account that Manning over there.
With your corner of brains, your QB's quick feet,
And running back Beast, you Always Compete.
And speaking of BeastMode
The Broncos they fear
That they won't bring you down
You'll be in the clear
It's opener there
in the wide open air.
Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as Beastly
and footsy as you.
And when Manning happens,
don't worry. Don't stew.
Your #1 defense
Will be Happening too.
You'll be on your way up!
A string of highlights!
You'll be on SportsCenter
4 or 5 straight nights.
You'll stay right on schedule, you'll control the speed.
You'll handle that Manning and you'll soon take the lead.
Whatever the quarter, your spirits will swell.
Whatever the weather, you'll execute well.
Except when you don't
Because, sometimes, you won't.
I'm sorry to say so
but, sadly, it's true
and Mis-haps
can happen to you.
You could be all tangled
in a Bronco D perch.
With an timely fumble
You'll be left in a Lurch.
Your high-paid receiver
Could have an unpleasant bump.
And the chances are, then,
You'll be in an offensive Slump.
And when you're in a Slump,
you're not in for much fun.
Winning a championship
is not easily done.
You will come to a point where it's straight do or die.
You'll lose some composure and you won't know why.
A place you could sprain both ACL and chin!
Do you audible out? Do you dare to run in?
Is this the point that decides the Bowl win?
And IF you go in, should you turn left or right…
You earned a 1st Down! Or, maybe, not quite?
And what if your O-Line gets into a bind?
Simple it's not, I'm afraid you will find,
To make up the difference when you're 12 points behind.
You can get so flustered
That you'll rush a few throws
Some you will complete
Some will miss by a nose,
headed, I fear, to a place everyone knows.
The Hoping Place…
…for teammates just hoping.
Hoping for better 2nd-half play
Or a screen pass to Harvin to save the day
Or a referee call to finally go your way
(Unlike Super Bowl 40, I just had to say)
Or hoping to death for a Yay or a Nay
Or hoping for a miracle play
Everyone is just hoping.
Hoping for the Broncos to bite
Or hoping for Manning to lose the Light
Or hoping like crazy with all your might
Just hoping your coaches will call the plays right
Or a long kick return, or a Defensive Break
Or that Knowshon Moreno is scared out of his pants
Or a Sherman Taunt, or Another Chance.
Everyone is just hoping.
That's not for you!
Somehow you'll escape
all that hoping and hating
You'll hear the 12th Man
Our roar has been waiting
With blue flags flip-flapping,
Once more you'll ride high!
Ready for any Bronco play it seems!
Ready because you're that kind of team!
Oh, the plays you will make! Your work isn't through!
And perhaps dear ol' Macklemore will rap about you.
And the magical things you can do with that ball
will make you the most celebrated team of them all.
Fame! You'll be Sherman as Sherman can be,
with worldwide fans loving you for eternity.
Except when they don't.
Because, sometimes, they won't.
Right or wrong, really
You'll soon find the truth
This Super Bowl performance
Ultimately defines you
Whether you like it or not,
That word will be something
You reach for a lot
Optimism is good, but realism is too
You might return to the Bowl, but that's hard to do
There are some who never did, hither and yon
And some were so messed up, they didn't want to go on
But on you will go
Though some life terms be foul
On you will go
Though the media prowl
On you will go
While the 12th Man still howls
Onward up many
A frightening creek
Some roads will be blessed
Some paths will be bleak
Seasons and seasons you will play
And you'll pursue more dreams
Whether on the Seahawks
Or some other teams
You'll get mixed up, of course,
As you already know.
You'll get mixed up
With many strange rumors as you go.
So be sure in your life.
Live with care and great tact.
And remember that Football's
Just your life's first act.
Just never forget to live life as a rock.
And know that it's true – you'll be always a Hawk.
And will you win today?
Play your A-Game … we'll see …
(Regardless of what some national pundits guarantee)
be your name Russell or Percy or Lane
or Marshawn or Kam, Richard or Mebane
You're off to Eternal Highlights
Today is your day!
Your legacy is waiting.
So… let's make some plays!

Next important step is linker script. To show where linker script is located we need locate ARM Sourcery Windows GCC C Linker. Then in General sub-menu we need to show where linker script is located.
To make things easier in future it is better to enter workspace related path.
Enter in Script file (-T) field following:
If you click on ARM Sourcery Windows GCC C Linker item you will be able to see if path was generated correctly:
One important thing is left – to show where all header (.h) files are located. To do so we need to go to Settings->Tools Settings->ARM Sourcery Windows GCC C Compiler-> Directories:
So we need to add all our project directories where header files are located including root directory. Easiest way to do is by clicking icon with plus sign and browse to directories using Workspace… button:
It seems that we have all we need to start compilation. Select release configuration by clicking button:
Then build project by selecting Project->Build All. Hopefully there is no mistakes in project source and you will see the result:
You are done. Settings are really easy comparing to writing or editing makefile. When writing project you usually will add new files, or try different things. Problem is that with each action you would end up with editing makefile manually. ARM GCC Plug-in does this automatically. Only thing you have to do is to show patch of tour files in settings. If you want to try it yourself here is project files from example [ST32blinky ~600kB].
Hope you enjoyed this tutorial and don't hesitate to comment if there are some parts that needs more explanation or correction.

Saints Super Bowl Merchandise Flying Off Shelves In Louisiana
Published February 9, 2010
|Several Louisiana Retailers Garnering
More Business Than Ever For Saints Gear
ROOT FOR THE HOME TEAM? In Indianapolis, Dana Hunsinger reports pre-order sales for Saints Super Bowl merchandise was "quadruple that" of the Colts at the adidas Group plant in Indianapolis, which has the contract to "manufacture licensed gear for all NFL teams" on behalf of Reebok. The plant will "ship out 130,000 shirts a day, compared with a typical 65,000 to 70,000." Hunsinger: "It's a fact that the Saints sell. Maybe it's boy-next-door quarterback Drew Brees or the revival story of a city devastated by Hurricane Katrina." Regardless, "much of America wanted to see them win -- and buy their stuff" (INDIANAPOLIS STAR, 2/9). adidas Sports Licensed Division VP/Operations Joe Cripe said that the number of shirts ordered for the Saints numbers in the "hundreds of thousands." Cripe expects that the Indianapolis plant will "be producing Saints gear nonstop at least until Friday, with rotating 12-hour shifts" (IBJ.com, 2/8).
DAT'S GREAT: Louisiana state Sen. A.G. Crowe yesterday said that he will "promote the concept of a new specialty vehicle license tag at the spring legislative session to honor" the Saints' Super Bowl win. Crowe said that "tentative plans for the plate's design will use the fleur-de-lis, the state seal and the phrase 'Who Dat Nation.'" He added that he plans to talk to NFL and Saints officials "about final designs to avert problems with copyright laws." Crowe indicated that a "share of the license tag fees would be donated to 'a worthy cause' designated by the Legislature in conjunction" with the Saints (New Orleans TIMES-PICAYUNE, 2/9).

Representatives of more than 80 countries and jurisdictions have gathered in Kyoto, Japan to push forward ongoing efforts to update international tax rules for the 21st century, the latest step in the OECD/G20 Project to tackle Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS).
The world's leading forum on tax transparency published 10 new peer review reports today, pointing to ever-increasing compliance with the internationally-recognised standards to curb tax evasion through the exchange of information.
This report contains the 2014 "Phase 2: Implementation of the Standards in Practice" Global Forum review of Georgia.
The Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes is the multilateral framework within which work in the area of tax transparency and exchange of information is carried out by over 130 jurisdictions which participate in the work of the Global Forum on an equal footing.
The Global Forum is charged with in-depth monitoring and peer review of the implementation of the standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes. These standards are primarily reflected in the 2002 OECD Model Agreement on Exchange of Information on Tax Matters and its commentary, and in Article 26 of the OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital and its commentary as updated in 2004, which has been incorporated in the UN Model Tax Convention.
The standards provide for international exchange on request of foreseeably relevant information for the administration or enforcement of the domestic tax laws of a requesting party. "Fishing expeditions" are not authorised, but all foreseeably relevant information must be provided, including bank information and information held by fiduciaries, regardless of the existence of a domestic tax interest or the application of a dual criminality standard.
All members of the Global Forum, as well as jurisdictions identified by the Global Forum as relevant to its work, are being reviewed. This process is undertaken in two phases. Phase 1 reviews assess the quality of a jurisdiction's legal and regulatory framework for the exchange of information, while Phase 2 reviews look at the practical implementation of that framework. Some Global Forum members are undergoing combined – Phase 1 plus Phase 2 – reviews. The ultimate goal is to help jurisdictions to effectively implement the international standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes.
Conveniently located near the world's fastest growing energy markets, the resource-rich and transit countries of Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia contribute significantly to world energy security. However, shared challenges across the region include aged infrastructure, high energy intensity, low energy efficiency, untapped alternative energy potential and poorly functioning regional energy markets.
This publication highlights the energy policies and sector developments of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan during 2013-14 and provides a summary of key recommendations for policy makers in the region.
Energy policy analysis is conducted in line with the INOGATE Programme's four main pillars of energy development: energy market convergence, energy security, sustainable development and investment attraction. Started in 1996, the INOGATE Programme is one of the longest running energy technical assistance programmes funded by the European Union and works within the policy frameworks of the Baku Initiative and the Eastern Partnership. The INOGATE Programme co-operates with 11 Partner Countries to support reduction in their dependency on fossil fuels and imports, to improve the security of their energy supply and to mitigate overall climate change. It also supports the Eastern Partnership, a joint initiative between the European Union, EU Member States, and the Eastern European and Caucasus countries. Launched in 2009, the Eastern Partnership aims at advancing political association and economic integration.
This publication has been produced with European Union financial assistance provided through the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument.
The SME Policy Index is a benchmarking tool designed for emerging economies to assess SME policy frameworks and monitor progress in policy implementation over time. The Index has been developed by the OECD in partnership with the European Commission, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), and the European Training Foundation (ETF) in 2006.
For the Eastern Partner Countries, the assessment framework is structured around the ten principles of the Small Business Act for Europe (SBA), providing a wide-range of pro-enterprise measures to guide the design and implementation of SME policies based on good practices promoted by the EU and the OECD. It is applied to the Eastern Partner Countries for the second time since 2012.
The Index identifies strengths and weaknesses in policy design and implementation, allows for comparison across countries and measures convergence towards good practices and relevant policy standards. It aims to support governments in setting targets for SME policy development and to identify strategic priorities to further improve the business environment. It also helps to engage governments in policy dialogue and exchange good practices within the region and with OECD and EU members.
On 21-23 October 2015, the Eastern Europe and Central Asia Regional Meeting and Governmental Workshop on BEPS discussed the outcomes of the BEPS project, and how countries can engage in the implementation and monitoring of the measures adopted on an equal footing.
In January 2013, the OECD launched the project "Interrelations between Public Policies, Migration and Development: Case Studies and Policy Recommendations", which aims to enhance partner countries' capacity to incorporate migration into the design and implementation of their development strategies.
The Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes published today 13 new peer review reports demonstrating progress toward implementation of the international standard for exchange of information on request. The Global Forum also issued compliance ratings for 10 jurisdictions.
The OECD Development Centre is carrying out a project, co-funded by the EU Thematic Programme on Migration and Asylum, on the Interrelations between public policies, migration and development of partner countries.
The objective of senior budget official reviews is to provide a comprehensive overview of the budget process in the country or jurisdiction under examination, to evaluate national and or sub-national experiences in the light of international best practices and to provide specific policy recommendations.

Heart Water Ink Debuts in Miami
A man of many talents, Chinese artist Simon Ma holds degrees in architecture and urban planning from University College of London. For those traveling south this summer, his exhibition Heart Water Ink makes its U.S. premiere in Miami, Fla. on July 12, 2014, at the Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum. The exhibition is on view through Oct. 19, and follows the success of Ma's previous touring exhibition Ink Brush Heart, shown at the Venice Biennale in 2013.
Heart Water Ink features more than 70 works including paintings, Chinese ink hybrids, graffiti art, Chinese calligraphy sculptures, dimensional stroke and lacquer paintings, 3-D art video, projections, Murano glass, and large-scale dragon and horse sculptures. "Simon Ma has taken the awesome figure of the Chinese Dragon, the iconic symbol of the people of China, to invigorate the image of the horse in a variety of media, arrangements and defining postures," said Dr. Carol Damian who curated the exhibition for the Frost. "The horse transcends time to become a key element of his work and a new symbol of nature for Ma."
Born in Hong Kong in 1974, Simon Ma studied under Master Fan Tzu Teng. Passionate about music, art and design as a child, he moved to London all on his own when he was 13 and began to experiment with Western art and design. He holds degrees in Architecture and Urban Planning from the University College of London (Bartlett Architecture College) and founded his own art and lifestyle company MA.Design.
Ma's work has been exhibited at La Biennale di Venezia, The Hong Kong Jockey Club, The Taiwan Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, MOCA Shanghai, Amsterdam's Leslie Smith Gallery, Three on the Bund, Beijing 798 District, Vienna's Dorotheum, Benedetto Marcello Conservatory of Music/Palazzo Pisani (with Julian Lennon), and public art installations throughout Shanghai. His artwork is included in numerous private collections and in the corporate collections of Westin, The Pingan Group, and Bank of Communications.
Ma has served as Professor at Donghua University Shanghai, East China Normal University, Tongji University, East China University of Science & Technology and the Shanghai Theatre Academy. He founded the M-Charity School in China's rural Guizhou Province in 2004.

Lots of news nuggets get tossed about at the big U.S. auto shows, and the word from Hyundai product planning VP this week at the 2011 New York Auto Show is that the Korean automaker will target families for its upcoming products.
Hyundai has already scored big with its redesigned Hyundai Sonata mid-size sedan, Elantra compact, and Equus full-size sedan and the automaker just introduced the redesigned 2012 Hyundai Accent subcompact sedan and five-door hatchback in New York.
2011 Hyundai Curb ConceptEnlarge Photo
2012 Hyundai VelosterEnlarge Photo
Concepts and new products such as the Curb compact crossover concept and the Hyundai Veloster sport coupe, both bowing at the 2011 Detroit auto show, are aimed squarely at Generation Y.
2011 Hyundai Genesis sedanEnlarge Photo
2011 Hyundai EquusEnlarge Photo
But consumers in the more upscale segments are also covered with the well-received Genesis and flagship Equus sedans.
Let's see, the young, the upscale, and now… families?
This is apparently so, according to a report in Automotive News. Mike O'Brien, Hyundai vice president of product planning, told the publication, "When we think about moving forward with our product lineup, our focus is going to be more on families."
O'Brien added that Hyundai will seek to cover a broad spectrum of family buyers, saying "We feel like we can do better in terms of increasing our share of young families, but affluent families are certainly on the radar as well."
Hmm, FamilyCarGuide looks at the family-car landscape as pretty all-encompassing, although traditionally dominated by minivans, sport utilities, and, more recently, all sorts of crossovers. What's Hyundai got right now? There's the aging Veracruz, the Santa Fe that's reportedly due for a redesign late this year or next, and Tucson that was just redesigned in 2010.
Will the next Santa Fe mark the beginning of a slew of Hyundai products aimed squarely at families? One thing we know for sure is that high fuel economy will be a given. Hyundai already has four models achieving 40 mpg standard – Sonata Hybrid, Elantra, Veloster and Accent. By the end of 2011, Hyundai says it will lead the industry in 40-mpg vehicles sold, expecting sales of more than 200,000 and a 30 percent increase in the company's total anticipated sales.
Safety will be another primary consideration. The 2011 Sonata, Genesis, Equus, Santa Fe and Tucson are Top Safety Picks 2011 from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
Price has to be affordable or priced-right for affluent families. Lots of features standard and a full complement of available options should also be part of the product plans.
FamilyCarGuide looks forward to whatever Hyundai designers come up with. Judging by the automaker's recent product launch successes, if Hyundai focuses on a market segment, it may very well succeed.
For more information on the just-introduced 2012 Hyundai Accent, see Bengt Halvorson's preview in TheCarConnection.
