That's the symbol that appears on driver's licenses and identification cards issued after the person's identity has been confirmed by documented proof as spelled out in The Real ID Act of 2005.
"We are in compliance," said Susan Sport, spokeswoman for the Department of Driver Services. "And as long as the state is in compliance, our citizens' licenses are still good on Jan. 15."
Under the REAL ID Act, only people with verified identification will be able to fly, enter federal buildings or otherwise conduct business with the federal government. After initially balking, Georgia legislators put the new standards into effect this July.
But don't expect calls for "papers please" next year. Requirements for individuals to actually have secure IDs don't start phasing in until the end of 2014.
No one with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security public information office would speak on the record about the issue, but an official confirmed on background that the deadline applies only to states.
"The December 2014 and December 2017 dates remain in effect, at which time the individual must have a REAL ID driver's license or identification document if an individual chooses to provide a driver's license for an official purpose, such as boarding a commercial aircraft," she said in an emailed response to a query.
The December 2014 deadline applies to people younger than 50, while older people have through December 2017 to update their identification.
Sport said the REAL ID verifications are happening as drivers renew their licenses or new drivers apply, but it's unclear if everyone in the younger group will have gold star identification by the time December 2014 rolls around.
"At this point we don't know if we'll have to bring anyone back in, but we're monitoring it very closely," she said.
The DDS has created a checklist for residents renewing licenses or state-issued identity cards.
Everyone will have to provide certified, original documents — at least one to prove identity, one to prove your Social Security number and two to prove your residential address.
Sport said name-changes from marriages and divorces also have to be documented.

Epson Ultrachrome HDR Photo Black (7700/9700/7890/9890/7900/9900) 350 ml
The Epson UltraChrome HDR (High Dynamic range) ink takes inkjet colour performance to an entirely new level with the addition of green and orange inks. This is particularly true in the vivid green to yellow and yellow to red portions of the colour space. Grass and foliage will be much more vivid and natural, and orange tones like sunsets will be more dazzling. Photographers will be delighted to see that the orange ink also reduces the graininess in skin tones.
The Epson UltraChrome.HDR inkink set provides a much wider colour tonal range,which means higher colour accuracy, greater coloursubtlety and smoother tonal gradations. No matterwhat type of printing you are doing, EpsonUltraChrome HDR will give you quality unlike anything you have seen before.
When the job needs to be done "now!", it's good toknow that Epson UltraChrome HDR ink dries andcolour stabilises in a matter of minutes. In addition,exceptional light fast characteristics prevent fadingand discolouration for up to 75 and 200 years (colourand black & white, premium glossy photo paper,prints framed under glass). Due to the use of formulated resin-encapsulated pigments, EpsonUltraChrome HDR is also extremely water-resistant.
Highly accurate colour control ensures that there arevirtually no differences in colour when printing atdifferent resolutions, and that colour gradations areultra-smooth and well-defined, even at high saturationlevels. The beautiful, true-to-life reproduction of skintones will show you the difference that Epson UltraChrome HDR makes.
Whether displaying prints in a gallery, producing promotional materials or doing print proofing, youdon't want the colours to differ under differentlighting conditions. This problem, known as colourinconstancy, is a major challenge for inkjet printers.Epson UltraChrome HDR completely overcomes the problem with a carefully developed formulation and three shades of black ink, ensuring consistent colourbalance regardless of the light source under which the print is viewed.

Recently, I've been working on some code to transfer images and other data between Android devices using Bluetooth. While I could have used the Basic Imaging Profile (BIP) of the Bluetooth 4.0 specification, this particular application has specific requirements that would have been difficult to implement using BIP. To overcome this, I ended up building an application that instead relies on the Serial Port Profile (SPP), exchanging data using the RFCOMM protocol.
The SPP implementation on Android is nice, but only offers the fundamentals of an InputStream and OutputStream. While this provides the basics of sending and receiving bytes, it doesn't handle data integrity, progress updates, threading, or any of the other requirements often needed when sending data between two devices.
The result from my recent work is an Android library called android-btxfr, which I'm happy to share through my Github repository. android-btxfr is lightweight library designed to send and receive any type of data between Android (API 15 and higher). It can be used to exchange text, files, photos, videos, sounds, and literally any other type of binary data. The library supports anything that can be put into a byte stream and includes digest checking to ensure data integrity.
The library exposes two thread types (ClientThread and ServerThread) depending on whether you are sending or receiving data.
Receiving data is easy. Simply run the server thread, passing the paired bluetooth device and handler. The handler will be then called with the following messages:
DATA_PROGRESS_UPDATE – Data is being received by the other device. The message contains the progress of the data being received.
DATA_RECEIVED – Data has been fully received from the other device. The message will contain the actual payload (a byte stream of the image, video, etc.)
There are other message types to handle failure conditions.
The client thread works in a similar fashion. To send data, invoke the client thread, passing the paired bluetooth device and handler. The handler will be called with the following messages:
READY_FOR_DATA – Indicates that the connection has been established, and data can be sent.
SENDING_DATA - Indicates that data is being sent to the other device.
DATA_SENT_OK – Indicates that the recipient received the payload.
Again, there are other message types to handle failures.
To show all of this in action, I've put together a sample application, which can be found here. This app uses the android-btxfr library to send captured photos between devices.

I need to run a command with administrative privileges. Someone said I should run a command as root. How do I do this?
The main two possibilities are:
Running a command as rootsudoThis is the preferred method on most multi-user systems and on Ubuntu. If you don't know a separate root password, use this method. Sudo requires that you type your own password. (The purpose is to limit the damage if you leave your keyboard unattended and unlocked.) It is often configured to not ask again for a few minutes so you can run several Example:
If you need to run several commands as root, prefix each of them with
Instead of For more information, see the sudo website, or type suThe Example:
The command to run must be passed using the To run multiple commands as root, it is more convenient to start an interactive shell.
On some systems, you need to be in group number 0 (called Logging in as rootIf authorized, you can simply type Single User ModeSingle user mode, or run-level 1, also gives you root privileges. This is intended primarily for emergency maintenance situations where booting into a multi-user run-level is not possible. You can boot into single user mode by passing You can also get to single user mode by using the telinit command: On many systems booting into single user mode will give the user access to a root shell without prompting for a password. Other programsCalifeCalife lets you run commands as another user by typing your own password, if authorized. It is similar to the much more widespread sudo (see above). Calife is more light-weight than sudo but also less configurable. EmacsThanks to Tramp, you can run commands as root through In eshell, type You can also have OpOp lets you run commands as another user, including root.

Since the question was not Linux specific, here's how you achieve the same goal in Solaris 9+ (or Trusted Solaris 8): Solaris, since version 9, has included a suite of tools affectionately referred to as RBAC, or Role Based Access Control. The gist of RBAC is that through the granting of Authorizations and Rights, to Users and/or Role, or the granting of Roles to Users, you can create incredibly fine grained models for who can run what with which privileges. Essentially, you identify authorization in /etc/security/auth_attr, then grant them to users or roles in /etc/user_attr. You define profiles in /etc/security/prof_attr. You then associate commands with those profiles in /etc/security/exec_attr, followed by assigning those profiles to users in the /etc/user_attr file. Once those things are done, you actually run The nice thing about RBAC is that there are no additional privileges granted to the command itself, or the user, only to the combination of user + command. So it's safer than making a binary +s, or just using sudo to make a user be able to execute pretty much anything. (I know that you can lock down sudo, but in my experience most people don't) Another advantage of RBAC is that you can make root a role account, and assign that role to users who are able to become root with the 'su' command and the root password. The root user will also be able to log in in Single User Mode, which is better (in my opinion) than the Linux model where you can disable the root password Ben Rockwood has a great blog post on RBAC that can be read at Using RBAC on (Open)Solaris. |
Or you can give some commands a superpower. I'm talking about special permissions in which commands are executed with the permission of owner. Get the path of command by P.S. - SUID and SGID bits should be given with care. They can make your system insecure. |

IDF's diabetes education initiatives aim to both develop a high-quality global workforce for diabetes education and care, as well as provide a broad base of knowledge and skills to people with diabetes that allow them to facilitate and enhance their own care. Diabetes education prepares people with diabetes to make informed decisions, cope with the demands of living daily with a complex chronic disease and make necessary behaviour changes.
Diabetes Conversations is a global programme that improves access to group self-management education for people with diabetes. It has achieved great success to date; in 2011, the programme was implemented in over 110 countries and territories and in 35 different languages.
The programme features Conversation Map™ education tools. Health professionals use these tools to engage people with diabetes in an open and interactive group discussion to support them in their self-management efforts. They have been translated and adapted for each country with input from local experts in diabetes education.
The Conversation Map™ tools are implemented through a train-the-trainer model. In 2011, the programme included 200 health professionals selected from various countries as Expert Trainers. Expert Trainers develop their knowledge and skills through training sessions and networking opportunities. They go on to train other health professionals in their countries to facilitate group education sessions for people with diabetes. These health professionals then implement the Conversation Map™ tools themselves and gain experience in practical group education.
The Conversation Map™ tools are used in a variety of settings—ranging from hospitals to community health centres to national diabetes associations.
* This programme is run locally in the United States of America and Puerto Rico and local programmes are not reflected on this map

The purpose of the USGS Historic Topographic Maps project is to accurately catalog and create metadata for all USGS topographic maps. The metadata will be used to provide users with map lists, allow for searches using keywords, and display map images.
Scanning at higher resolutions creates images suitable for archiving and future opportunities for derivative products. This digital preservation effort will be enhanced by the National Archives and Records Admnistration (NARA) housing a complete copy of all files along with USGS, and copies of segments of the collection may be housed in libraries, research organizations, and private companies. Map images will ultimately be viewable on the Web. All files will be in the public domain.
Cooperation and partnerships are open to all participants. Contributions to the collection will be gladly accepted if metadata and scanned files meet the preservation specifications listed on the Web site.
Initial efforts
Initial efforts will concentrate on the primary topographic map series -- 1:100,000 and larger scales.
The U.S. Geological Survey will support and coordinate the scanning and cataloging of historic topographic maps. The existing, working catalog is being used as the organizing list of maps. This catalog is viewable on the Web site (http://pubs.usgs.gov/historicmaps ) or available as a Microsoft AccessTM database.*
Data is being accumulated by USGS on a limited basis as local collections at USGS offices or university libraries are scanned. All available editions at all scales are used to verify the map catalog and are scanned. An updated copy of the catalog will be periodically sent to the main USGS Library in Reston, VA. Library staff will, as time is available, compare the catalog to the physical collections in Reston. The catalog will be verified for completeness and maps not available for catalog verification and scanning in the local collections will be checked and scanned. The catalog will be updated on the Web site quarterly.
Current status
As of May 2006, approximately 8,000 maps have had map catalog entries confirmed and the corresponding maps scanned.
The USGS historic topographic maps Web site is available for use to view the working map catalog. Catalog verification procedures and scanning specification have been posted. Partnerships and contributions are welcomed.
Many of these approximately 300,000 USGS historical topographic maps are generally no longer available for purchase. Maps not available are necessarily under utilized. Cartographic libraries are normally not available locally; many are dealing with necessity of making hard decisions due to competing priorities, restricted hours, limited storage space and reduced numbers of staff. Very few libraries have a complete collection of all editions, at all scales, of USGS topographic maps.
Scanning and serving maps on Web sites provides the benefits of improved public access with corresponding increase in use, at times convenient to map readers. A basic goal of this project is to create a comprehensive, accurate catalog of all topographic maps published by the USGS since 1879. As there is no single verified catalog of USGS topographic maps, the existing map catalog will be verified and updated by confirming the accuracy of citation data. Map catalog records will be correct, up to date, and available to the public.
Funds are not available for the USGS to complete cataloging and scanning in the near future. Likewise, no other single agency or library has either access or resources to catalog and scan at a resolution suitable for archiving files. The goal of expanded access to the public can be achieved by creating a cooperative effort with public libraries and partnerships.

The favored grain of the Aztec empire, Organic Amaranth is a sweet, nutty grain, high in protein and gluten-free. It contains high amounts of the important amino acid lysine.
Organic Kamut is absolutely delicious and very nutritious for you. A member of the wheat family, Kamut is considered the "high energy grain" because it contains 40% more protein than the national average for wheat. As this grain hasn't been altered by modern plant breeders, it retains its ancient nutrition, flavor and goodness. It contains elevated levels of vitamin E, Thiamin, Riboflavin, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, pantothentic acid, copper and complex carbohydrates. Kamut is excellent in cereals, baked goods, and eaten as a side dish.
This long grain is best cooked in a slow cooker similar to rice and must be simmered for up to one hour.
Organic spelt berries are wonderful grains that are high in protein. Spelt contains 15 - 21% protein which is much higher than wheat. It's also higher than wheat in complex carbohydrates, iron, potassium and the B Vitamins. Spelt is easier to digest than wheat products because of it's higher solubility in water. Spelt also contains nutrients that aid in blood clotting and also stimulate the immune system.

Would like to do a tour, but not really sure what the best one is to do. Also want it to be inexpensive. Any suggestions would be great.
I have a friend who is an amazing artist. Her art was featured in several art galleries in Europe, Canada, Asia, Australia and the United States.
She is giving me a commission for each piece I help sell to an Art Gallery or Interior Design Company. What is the best way of going about getting interest from these galleries? For me being able to make a commission off every piece I help sell really makes me want to get sales…and not to mention this work is amazing, she has sold over 2,000 pieces herself…
I am marrying my amazing fiance in August. We will be getting married at the courthouse, and we can't decide on a place to have a small reception in celebration. Please Help!!!

Dash Off!
Because E3 is boring me right now with it's lack of FiM/Forgotten Realms CRPG crossovers.
This is a neat little game, sort of an apple collecting platforming thing.
Play it here!

That was decent. The controls could use some adjusting, but overall I was entertained. (160 total. 5a in 10s. I hit too many baked bads.)

8 bit tunes made this one brony (not a game designer): http://www.youtube.com/user/RainbowCrash88
- June 7, 2011 at 2:07 PM
I'm with Xanilus on this. The controls were a little stiff and took some getting used to, but I got 161 on my first run.
Let's see how much I smoke that by on my second run. - June 7, 2011 at 2:12 PM
The game looks great, bit I found the controls really awkward.
- June 7, 2011 at 2:13 PM
Reasonably fun, but the controls are terrible. And you go through apples a lot.
- June 7, 2011 at 2:14 PM
First run: 162. Fun game, although it would've been nice if you could move while falling down. Dash falls like a rock when you let go of the fly button.

- June 7, 2011 at 2:16 PM
Got 198 on my first run. I found plenty of bugs (besides the terrible controls).
-Most of the time it's really difficult to go under raised ground (I stalled too much trying to reach Twilight in a terrible spot)
-Derpy does not respond most of the time.
-A lot of apples are layered with the bad kind (dunno if this was intentional or not). - June 7, 2011 at 2:17 PM
- Interrobang Pie said...
139 apples. Cool for burning five minutes again. I'm hoping only being able to fly right is part of the challenge of the game and not an oversight!!
- June 7, 2011 at 2:18 PM
A lot of it feels random, the way everything is set up.
And the fact that I can't fly straight up is a little disorienting.
My favorite bug, though, is how any amount of baked bads can be overcome with friendship.
(i.e. nothing happens if you grab a baked bad under the influence of friendship, grabbing friendship will nullify the baked bad, and if you grab a baked bad in the middle of a friendship boost, the baked bad will run out at the same time as the friendship.)
STILL FUN AND AWESOME - June 7, 2011 at 2:21 PM
Derpy drops muffin! And when you eats, Derpe derps:) That's all respond.
- June 7, 2011 at 2:21 PM
+ Music was thoroughly covered
- Why can't I fly backwards?
- Shouldn't Applejack be the one collecting apples?
- Didn't hold my interest for long - June 7, 2011 at 2:26 PM
My only problem is moving forward after you land from a jump. I usually hold the right button the entire time, but sfter flying, I have to let go, and press it again. Took a lot of time from my run. Other than that, once you get used to the controlls, it's pretty fun. Good for a wasted 5-10 minutes.
- June 7, 2011 at 2:27 PM
- Jacen said...
Great game with a great concept with only a few problems.
1. When you land and are pressing right you should continue running without having to press right again.
2. You should be able to walk under the raised ground since that is what it looks like we should be able to do.
3. Change the name of the bad cupcakes to baked bads.
4. Throw in some sort of algorithm that makes it impossible for items to stack. - June 7, 2011 at 2:29 PM
Well that was just terrible. If it weren't for ponies, this game would have no redeeming features at all.
- June 7, 2011 at 2:38 PM
I just got 135 Apples but the comment: "That is 5 apples in 10 Seconds Flat!" Made my day.
- June 7, 2011 at 2:39 PM
*deep breath*
its not very good, the controls are really clunky, collision detection is too small, you can only fly at 45 degrees, you fall straight down when you stop flying, you sometimes have to repress right to move when you land, baked bads can spawn on top of apples or in a place unavoidable, your score boils down to nothing but luck, and it makes no sense how the best flier in equestria can only fly a few feet without having to rest.
or, you know. what ever you want to do is fine... - June 7, 2011 at 2:40 PM
138 Apples on my first run, Damn you Derpy, dropping all those baked bads at me >=)
Kick-flank music btw =D - June 7, 2011 at 3:24 PM

The controls are a bit clunky, but not a bad way to spend a few minutes.
- June 7, 2011 at 4:00 PM
Ever since playing I Wanna Be the Guy (I beat it on hard!), I've been wary of apple trees.
But apparently the apples DON'T kill you? What's up with that? Totally unnatural. I should give this game a shot... - June 7, 2011 at 4:10 PM
- Vythe said...
Controls are clunky, cant fly left, but overall, good game. I got 150 in my first try
- June 7, 2011 at 4:17 PM

169 apples first run . . quirky game but i had fun n.n thank you for the hard work here.
- June 7, 2011 at 4:19 PM
- Star Gazer said...
Cute over all design, first run I snagged 151 apples.
Be neat when more complicated 2d games start popping out. Could have lots of potential! - June 7, 2011 at 4:22 PM
- Rainbow Dash said...
1st run; 149, apparently 5 apples in 10 seconds flat.
2nd run; 173.
Brony games never cease to amaze me. - June 7, 2011 at 4:26 PM
1st run, 165 apples. That's 6 apples in 10 seconds flat! SO. AWESOME!!!!
I know the game is buggy/clunky as hell, but I find it REALLY hard to care too much about the flaws when I'm controlling a Dashie sprite to all of RainbowCrash88's tunes...over 200 apples, here I come!!!
This game gets 12/10 (20% cooler than perfect), based solely on the fact it's the best game with Rainbow Dash as a sprite released so far, imo. - June 7, 2011 at 4:49 PM
Who cares about an RPG? HALO 4 IS COMING OUT!!! FANFIC WRITERS, IT IS TIME TO STOP FOALING AROUND! WE MUST GREAT THIS GREAT NEWS WITH A SURGE OF HALO AND PONY!!! HAIL TO THE SPARTAN PONIES!!!
- June 7, 2011 at 5:21 PM
Lets get critical shall we?
+ Nice sprites and level design
+ good music
- Characters can glitch into strange spots like hovering over water or land pillars.
- Not really that challenging, no enemies (well derpy is just confused D:)
- Controls are awkward. Y U NO let me turn around D:
- There seems to be no pressure to do anything. RD seems to just be taking a lazy walk when she's not flying- if she's in a rush to collect apples, she should be running!
+ 5 apples in 10 seconds flat. For that I'm not mad.
Overall rating: 4/10, ok game just needs some tweaking in fixing bugs and stuff. - June 7, 2011 at 5:43 PM

Shut the fuck up about Halo and play this awesome game about what really matters: PONIES. - June 7, 2011 at 6:09 PM
Didn't like it, jittery, slow, annoying... I've played better MLP;FiM games.

Haha, I panicked when I saw the tree, and it took me a second to realize that I was having an "I Wanna Be the Guy" flashback. Oh the memories... - June 7, 2011 at 11:36 PM

Not a bad game, but the controls were a bit too stiff to make it really enjoyable. Though you do win back points for having the 8-bit remixes as the soundtrack. I know I'm nit picking now but you could try to have a bit more variety in the level instead of just higher ground, tree and river over and over again.
- June 8, 2011 at 4:35 AM
208 apples on second attempt and with the new controls. Fun, but makes me wish for a more substantial 2D platformer.
- June 8, 2011 at 2:08 PM
Managed to hit 269 with the control revision. Very cool compared to what's on the official site.
- June 11, 2011 at 9:39 PM
Your score is: 278 apples total.
That's 9 apples in 10 seconds flat! - June 19, 2011 at 7:56 PM
I got 203 apples. :)
While crossing the water pit, I saw Pinkie bouncing happily in midair. Spent ten seconds trying to figure it out. She's just being Pinkie Pie. XD
And I love the music. So cute! :D
Would be much better if they had all the MLP songs. - June 21, 2011 at 11:15 AM

SOURCE The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) community is deeply saddened to learn of the death of Dr. C. Everett Koop. Dr. Koop served as CHOP's surgeon-in-chief from 1946 to 1981, before taking on the role of U.S Surgeon General.
A pioneer in the field of pediatric surgery, Dr. Koop's contributions include advances in complex surgical procedures, such as the separation of conjoined twins, establishment of the nation's first newborn surgical intensive care unit, and the implementation of Children's Hospital's surgical fellowship training program.
"Both during his time at CHOP and in the years beyond, Dr. Koop made an immeasurable impact on health worldwide," said Steven M. Altschuler, M.D., chief executive officer of The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. "He transformed the relatively new field of pediatric surgery into a significant specialty in its own right. And later, as Surgeon General, he applied the same energy and vision to a much broader spectrum of health issues."
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia will be forever indebted to Dr. Koop for the imprint he left upon the institution and upon all of pediatric healthcare.
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia was founded in 1855 as the nation's first pediatric hospital. Through its long-standing commitment to providing exceptional patient care, training new generations of pediatric healthcare professionals and pioneering major research initiatives, Children's Hospital has fostered many discoveries that have benefited children worldwide. Its pediatric research program is among the largest in the country, ranking third in National Institutes of Health funding. In addition, its unique family-centered care and public service programs have brought the 516-bed hospital recognition as a leading advocate for children and adolescents.

Sri Sri: Do you know why people don't perform their jobs well, or learn slowly? This is because their mind is clouded. They have not rested well. They have no security inside them, and they are not happy. Teach them meditation. When they meditate, when they do a little breathing and meditation, they find calmness, happiness, and peace, and then they will be able to do so much better. Meals and meditation; make this part of your company. With some meditation, the mind relaxes and it becomes sharp, alert, and more energetic to do work. That is how it works. So meditation definitely helps to bring more productivity.
Sri Sri:
Sri Sri: The sitting posture is better to meditate. You could lie down and do it too, but the risk is that you may fall asleep. You may think you are in meditation, but actually you could be in deep slumber.
Sri Sri: Any technique will have to lead you to meditation. There is only one way to quench your thirst, i.e., by liquids. Only liquids can quench your thirst, right? It can be any liquid, but it has to be liquid, right? So, meditation is a state which is not waking, sleeping or dreaming; it is the fourth state, where your body is restful, and mind is alert. Prayer and meditation are very close. In prayer, you are thanking or asking for something; whereas, from a layman's point of view, in meditation, one is ready to listen. So, you could call meditation a higher form of prayer. Meditation is a state of the mind; it is not just a process. It is also the final product.
Sri Sri: If you think God is truth, beauty and love; yes, they are connected. If God is the summum-bonum (highest good) of the whole creation, if the entire creation is made up of one thing, that one energy can be called God. It is what everything is made up of and it is connected to everything. There is not one thing in the world that is not connected to God. However, if you think God is a person sitting up there, somewhere, trying to give you a finger so you can catch hold of him, and then he goes away; that sort of God has nothing to do with what we are talking about. If you see God as an energy, as a presence, as love, (love is the nearest emotion the human mind can comprehend), as that huge field of energy, then yes, there is no escape from it for anyone. We are all in it and will be in it. We were in it; and even if we are not there, it will be there.
Sri Sri: I'm not saying that you should only do yoga. I am saying that yoga is a natural phenomenon, which occurs in creation all over the world. We all have done it as children. As you grow up, you may need aerobics; and if you eat too much, you may need to get on a treadmill to burn those calories.
Sri Sri: Whenever a mistake has happened, that moment you were not knowledgeable, you were not aware. Your mind was not big. You were in your small mind. So acknowledge this and move on. Again, Sudarshan Kriya and meditation will help you to get over this.
Sri Sri: There is nothing called false enlightenment. Enlightenment is there in your nature. Just like there is rice inside the paddy, knowledge is there within, you just need to remove the skin. Once this skin is removed, you will feel that you are not the body but the infinite. The mind is happy, content, and if you bless anyone, it will manifest.
Sri Sri: Yes, that technique has more meditation on different chakras.
Sri Sri: I have made a number of meditation CDs. You could use these CDs for a couple of days or weeks to begin with, and get into the habit of meditation. Once you get into practicing it regularly, you won't need a CD, you will be able to do it by yourself. All you need is a little bit of practice of meditating, of letting go. It is all about letting go.
Sri Sri: Oh, if your heart is broken, see life from a bigger picture. Before somebody broke your heart, then also you were alive, and now also you are alive, and life will go on. There are seven billion people on this planet. And there are all types of people there. You got into somebody who is in the habit of breaking hearts. So never mind, move on. You know, people come, they play their part in your life and they go. This is the world. Don't be stuck to any one person or one thing that keeps bothering you. Be free!

By Mary Nell Bryant, M.A., M.L.S., U.S. Foreign Service Information Officer, retired (Washington D.C. Chapter, Social Science Division)
Best Practices for Government Libraries is a collaborative document that is put out annually on a specific topic of interest to government libraries and includes content submitted by government librarians and community leaders with an interest in government libraries. The 2011 edition includes over 70 articles and other submissions provided by more than 60 contributors including librarians in government agencies, courts, and the military, as well as from professional association leaders, and more. Best Practices is edited by Marie Kaddell, Senior Information Professional Consultant; SLA DGI Chair. If you did not write for this year's Best Practices, Marie invites you to submit a guest post for the Government Info Pro email@example.com.
In 2003, a tenuous peace took hold in Liberia, following 14 years of civil war. Since holding elections in 2005, the country has been knitting back together, the threads of its society, government, economy and institutions. With most of its never extensive infrastructure destroyed, many of its educated workforce gone, and little foreign investment, rebuilding Liberia will take years if not decades.
Key to the redevelopment of Liberia is the establishment of a stable, transparent and effective government. Closely monitored elections in 2005 were deemed by the international community to be the most free and fair in Liberia's history, and gave Africa its first elected female president, Mrs. Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf. The United States has been in the frontline of countries providing development aid and technical assistance to Liberia. A key pillar of that aid has been legislative strengthening, through the work of the National Democratic Institute.
The initial strategic planning document for modernization of the Legislature, written in consultation with the Legislature and NDI, USAID and the House Democracy Partnership, included the necessity for a legislative library and research capability. And that is where I came in. As a former librarian in the Congressional Research Service, and as staff to the House Special Committee on East European Parliamentary Assistance in the 1990's, I had spent many years consulting on the development of legislative libraries and research organizations. Over the past year, I have made three trips to Liberia to work on the creation of such an entity for the Liberian Legislature.
What did I find? Certainly, not a country on the brink of an e-revolution. As per 2008 statistics, less than one person out of 100 had any Internet access, and only 19 out of a hundred had telephones. Electricity was and is scarce, particularly outside of Monrovia. With 84% of the population below the international poverty level (UNICEF 2008), a GDP per capita of $128 U.S. and employment in the formal sector at 15% (U.S. Department of State), e-government and e-initiatives remain small, but are critical to development. Currently, Internet access is limited primarily to some government agencies, NGO's and businesses in urban areas. Liberia currently has no access to a submarine cable or fiber optics. Any access is relatively slow, unreliable and extremely expensive.
The current legislature is bicameral, with 64 representatives and 30 senators. Relative to the executive branch, the Legislature is relatively weak. Weak party structures and personality driven politics are only part of the problem. When I first arrived in May 2010, there was no computerization, no Internet, an untrained, bloated staff, no bill tracking system, no legal code, no archives of previous legislation, no systematic record keeping of legislative activity and no library.
A legislative library did once exist, created in 1976 with 6,000 volumes. Then the wars began. Over the years of conflict, the library was destroyed and almost all documents were lost. What remained were some document cases, stored in an uncontrolled environment. Even the bookshelves were gone. During my first visit in 2009, the then director reported that they had had no materials since 1984. "We fought among ourselves and destroyed our own institutions," he said. A large staff was kept on the payroll, and they tried to keep the piles organized and dusted as best as they could. There was no one on staff who had any training in librarianship.
Through the aid of the U.S. government and the technical assistance of the National Democratic Institute, the library exists again, formally opened on April 27, 2011. The story of the herculean effort to provide planning, design, reconstruction, furnishings, collections, staff selection and training is beyond the scope of this article, so a few photos will suffice.
The final touch, prior to opening was the introduction of the Internet. Its installation was completed in early April, just prior to my arrival on April 12, 2011. It was time to get down to work, but where to begin? It is hard to remember back to a time when we did not know computer basics, and yet that was our starting point. The basic concepts one uses in searching the Web seem innate to those of us working in the field. We have internalized the basics of Boolean logic, critical thinking, web site evaluation, search concept development. Coming up with alternate search strategies is second nature. Error 404 messages are just an invitation to try an alternative. Not so if you have no familiarity even with the concept of searching for information, electronic or otherwise.
The staff I worked with were a select group chosen from among the larger staff that had stayed on in the empty library over the years. Hence, there was still no one with any library training at all. I had done some basic reference and technical services training on previous visits, so knew that I had to begin Internet training with the absolute basics. We learned the meanings of AND and OR through participatory exercises such as having everyone wearing blue stand up AND everyone wearing yellow stand up. Try that followed by blues OR yellows standing up.
Core to successful web searching is defining alternative strategies. To help develop that way of thinking, we broke into small groups and learned to brainstorm subjects, scribbling on flip charts, broader, narrower or similar topics. At first, staff were concerned about getting the words right or wrong, and it took a good bit of cheerleading to urge them to just write whatever came into their heads. The staff was more comfortable with linear thinking, and the concept of right and wrong answers, and of one right way to do things. Operating in a web environment with multiple options, and multiple possible avenues to find what you are looking for took some getting used to.
Finally, we were ready for the computers. Repetition in different forms was the key to success. Naturally, we began with browser and search engine basics, using videos, power point presentations (lots of screen shots lest the Internet crash) and very simple initial exercises. I found that evaluation of web sites had to come early on both to evaluate the quality of what they found, but also to get them to focus on content and detail. Once we went through several tightly controlled exercises of evaluation, the group really began picking up on it and you could feel their (and my) excitement.
Perhaps the most exciting of all is how in only a few sessions, we had several of the staff cataloging their own books on a LibraryWorld system. Again you forget that you are not born knowing what a call number is or what it looks like, or that books can be arranged by subject. Yet starting from the difference between Dewey and LC classification, the meaning of ISBN and LCCN, from identifying authors, titles, and publication dates, the group moved quickly as we went title by title, step by step to where they were cataloging on their own. By opening day, they had their online web-based catalog to show off. To my knowledge, it is the only web-based catalog in Liberia. When the Legislature has a web site, the next step in their e-development, one will be able to search the catalog from the web site.
It is a relatively quiet time in the Legislature, and the Members are busy stumping for elections, planned for this fall. In the interim, the Library staff will be sharpening their skills, "e" and otherwise, designing products and services, developing procedures and of course marketing their new jewel. It has been an honor for me to be part of the process.

After Brittany Saad experienced a unique horse rescue three years ago, she realized there are many horses in need of health rehabilitation, whether it is because of owners neglect or medical conditions.
Saad has been working on a horse rescue program known as Love of Lacey Equine Rescue for the last three years. The program first started with a horse, named Lacey, that Brittany rescued.
Neglect from her previous owner left Lacey very. Brittany, her mother, Micki Saad, and her boyfriend, Bryan Davis, tried tirelessly to save Lacey, but unfortunately the horse passed away. From that moment on, Brittany had her heart set on starting a horse rescue program.
Brittany's friend, who runs a canine rescue program, helped her get started.
For the past seven years, Brittany gained experience as a technician at Hilltop Animal Hospital. Brittany graduated from N.C. State University in 2011 with a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science.
Now, she hopes to start veterinary school at N.C. State University next year.
So far, Brittany has rescued a total of eight horses and counting.
Currently, she has three horses in her program. In the past, Brittany has rescued two horses from a horse meat market in New Jersey and two or three from the animal shelter to re-home.
After rescuing a horse, Brittany starts the rehabilitation process, feeding the animal, assessing what help is needed and finding a forever home.
Brittany is able to find homes for these horses through social media like Facebook and through her website by getting the word out about these horses and the horse rescue program. Within the next week, Brittany hopes to have a pet finder account set up to search for horses that have been through rehabilitation and now are up for adoption.
Through Brittany's Love of Lacey Equine Rescue, she hopes to rescue and rehabilitate horses that have no other option. Also, she wants to educate the community on the proper care along with the medical issues horses could face. But mostly, her goal is to prevent mistreatment from happening to other horses in the future.
Love of Lacey Equine Rescue is a non-profit organization that runs strictly off monetary donations and supply donations such as hay, blankets, etc. More information on how to donate and updates on Love of Lacey Equine Rescue can be found on www.facebook.com/LoveOfLaceyEquineRescue or at their website loveoflaceyrescue.org/.

Los Angeles released the report late Friday.
Previously expected to be released in early summer, the report also outlines Los Angeles' response to Ontario's late 2011 offer to take back control of the airport for considerations of nearly $250million.
Miguel Santana, Los Angeles' top administrator, says his city should say "no" to Ontario's offer but begin negotiations with Ontario officials for the potential transfer of ONT.
"With the proper mix of innovative management and operational models and efficiencies, LA/ONT could become a strong contender for the busiest regional medium-hub airport in the Los Angeles Basin," Santana wrote.
Ontario politicians, who have rallied support from their counterparts in other Southern California cities, have maintained that local control of ONT could reverse passenger traffic declines that have plagued the airport for the past half-decade.
From 2007 through 2011, passenger traffic at ONT fell off by 35percent, according to the consultants' study that accompanied Santana's report.
Neither Santana nor the consultants, led by New Jersey-based Acacia Financial Group, blame Los Angeles-based airport managers for the downturn at ONT.
"A change in ownership could potentially benefit all interested parties ... (who) can potentially achieve their objectives by consummating a transaction with Ontario and its partners, and by providing resources to LAWA to enhance needed infrastructure at LAX," Santana wrote.
That said, Santana's report lists four options for Los Angeles and Ontario officials to consider if they meet to decide the future of ONT.
"It's all we ever wanted, an opportunity to sit down and have these talks and come to an agreement for transfer. It's time to sit down and fully discuss the transfer," Ontario Councilman Alan Wapner said.
In three of those options, Los Angeles would give up control of ONT.
The options:
Any of the four options would require time-consuming and complicated work to draft new business plans, retire debt and take care of other tasks.
Also, Santana's letter is accompanied by a lengthy consultants report that blames recent declines in passenger traffic at ONT on the Inland Empire's economic problems during and after the past recession, as opposed to any conscious effort by LAWA managers to divert business to LAX.
"There is no guarantee that such a transfer would result in increased passenger volume or financial benefit to the owner/ operator or to the Inland Empire economy," Santana wrote.
But despite recent troubles, Santana and Acacia conclude ONT has "significant untapped capacity" and "virtually no constraints" on future air traffic. Unlike other regional airports, such as John Wayne Airport in Orange County, ONT is not bound by noise restrictions that limit passenger growth.
Santana does not see a change in ownership as being necessary to achieve that potential, but neither does he dismiss the idea of negotiating a deal to allow Ontario take control of the airport. The city's move to work with San Bernardino County government to form a new agency called Ontario International Airport Authority seems to add credence to Ontario's pitch for control.
"It is possible the financial reserves and bonding capability of the OIAA, which combines the resources of the city of Ontario and those of the county of San Bernardino, may be greater than the city of Ontario alone," Santana wrote.
Santana listed "guiding principals" for deciding ONT's future that he wrote should include avoiding or at least keeping to a minimum any disruption of service, keeping ONT open as a commercial airport and treating employees fairly and in line with existing contracts.
Although Santana's openness to talks may signal an increased probability that some kind of significant change is in store for ONT, he asks Los Angeles' council to dismiss a purchase offer from Ontario that includes $50 million in cash in exchange for Los Angeles ceasing to manage ONT.
Ontario's offer also includes $71 million to retire airport bonds and $125 million from future revenue streams to repay LAWA's costs in building ONT's terminal.
Santana, who wrote the cost of retiring the bonds is more likely to be $83million, asked Los Angeles leaders to reject Ontario's offer for two reasons. For one, Los Angeles is not convinced $50million is enough money.
"In Los Angeles, we are not in the business of handing over valuable city assets at fire sale prices. At the same time, I also concur with the CAO that all of the stakeholders have an interest in realizing Ontario Airport's potential as an economic development engine," Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said.
The other reason is more of a legal technicality. Los Angeles' city attorney doubts the city can legally receive a cash payment from Ontario and then spend that money on city operations. A payment made directly to LAWA appears to be acceptable.
The Los Angeles City Council has a committee focused on trade on transportation issues and its members are scheduled to review Santana's report Tuesday during a special meeting.
Los Angeles World Aiports, the agency that manages ONT, LAX, Van Nuys and Palmdale airports for Los Angeles, can then set a schedule for Ontario officials to begin negotiations with Santana, Wapner said.
Ontario City Manager Chris Hughes will most likely meet with Santana after the meeting to set up the process for the negotiations, Wapner said.
While he doesn't have a timeline for how long the whole process will take, Wapner said, "he expects things to move fairly quickly," after Tuesday's meeting.

PINE MOUNTAIN – West Point will celebrate its newly renovated recreation facilities on Feb. 15 with a public open house and other events, but soon after will be putting local residents to work for the next phase.
The city will hold a "family fun afternoon" from 3:30 to 6 p.m. with leaders from the city, Troup County and Point University. Local youth from recreation teams will throw out the first pitch, first shot and first kick on the renovated fields. The facilities will be open to the youth and the public, along with hot dogs and other refreshments, as soon as the official part of the afternoon is over.
Recreation facilities have been the focus of the first part of a plan in the works since 2010 to redevelop a large portion of the city. City leaders are hoping renovated facilities spur other development, including housing and commercial growth.
The plan hit a public relations problem, however, when Point University rented the recreation facilities upon moving to the city a year ago. A small but vocal group of residents complained they were being shut out of using the fields and buildings in favor of Point's athletic programs. The open house was planned, partly, in response to that.
But West Point City Council also will open up the next round of planning to residents to make sure they have a say in what's built next. The city held meetings with residents for the first phase but will do it again.
Some ideas for the next phase of recreation facilities mentioned the first time were: an indoor facility for hockey, basketball, and zumba, tumbling and other classes. An "aquatic feature," either a pool or a splash park, also was mentioned.
"We'd like to go through a similar public planning process," that was done before, Mayor Drew Ferguson IV said at a retreat of council members Thursday.
That will likely start with a "listening session" in March with residents, council and a third-party facilitator.
Some council members questioned the need for a facilitator when they only were going to take ideas from residents.
"It works better with a third party," Ferguson said. "Elected officials can be perceived as driving the process."
The facilitators also know the best questions and surveys to ask residents to get the results.
"We have a plan and we've accomplished some parts of it," said Councilman Joe Downs. "There may be some additions," after the listening sessions.

Any suggestions for laying pavers where moles want to run? Area leveled and base down but moles making runs under the base. Moles have been in the yard for decades and have tried many things to get rid of them with no lasting success. | |||
Seems that laying anything down that might be tunneled under wouldn't be stable. You could keep filling up the holes and the moles would dig more of them. I don't know if moles tunnel through rock, so perhaps filling the areas beneath where you want to lay pavers with rocks might work. I would think moles would be more inclined to tunnel through dirt. Sounds like you've already tried to get at the base if tge problem by getting rid of the moles, but that's not been successful on a long term basis. Do you have any idea why the moles are so fond of your yard? Do you have a local agricultural extension service that might be able to suggest some permanent eradication methods? We're about to try electronic pest repellers which emit ultrasound level "noise" that allegedly repels rodents and nutria. I don't know if these would work for moles or not. I recall reading in some of my gardening magazines about methods for eradicating moles and will see if I can find the articles for you. Who knows? Maybe there's something that could actually be a permanent solution for you. I imagine it's quite frustrating to have them tearing up your yard. | ||||
a start would be to set mole traps on the existing runs... when it trips, stomp down the hump. a dead mole in a run keeps others from using it. I had some moles running from the front yard to the back, so I dug a ditch and dumped river rock into it, then topped with our sandy soil. the stinkers just cut through the neighbor's yard and back into our garden. only had temporary relief lighting and sticking mole gasser tubes in the runs. tried poison pellets, and they pushed them out with dirt. while you have stuff dug out, it might be worth it to put metal sheeting along the edges of the patio, and a run or two in the dig itself... then dump in the crush and compact within the confines of the metal, then lay the sand and compact the whole paver field. it's going to have to go down 6 to 8 inches to impede the little fellas.This message has been edited.

There are some very specific mole traps and I have used them and they work. It looks kind of medieval, yet effective. Here is a link and the product is made by Victor: http://www.victorpest.com/stor...pher-control/b0645-2 You bascially flatten down an active tunnel and when they push back up, it triggers a release and a multi-spike device pushes into the grd and gets them...it just takes a lot of follow-up, but you can get them... tstexThis message has been edited.

Friday Poll: Were old phones better?
Our counterparts across the pond at CNET UK raised an interesting question this week. Were old phones better? Gather around the geek watercooler and let's discuss.
A poll by MyVoucherCodes.co.uk found that 24 percent of respondents preferred their old phones to sparkling new smartphones with whiz-bang features. That's not an overwhelming number, but it's enough to get us to take notice.
We've gotten used to wave after wave of spec-monster smartphones like the Motorola Droid Razr with its 4.3-inch display, 8MP camera, and 1.2GHz dual-core processor. But is fancier really better? … Read more

34 Tested for HIV on Branch Door-to-Door Campaign (TAC Mopani)
As a follow up for the door-to-door campaign conducted earlier this year by members of Homu branch, outside Giyani, another successful campaign has been conducted on the 14th of July at Mapayeni village. It is worth mentioning that the Health Care Workers from Mapayeni clinic also participated in large number to the success of this campaign. The theme of the campaign was HIV Counselling and testing and prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
This is how the campaign was run; Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) Homu branch members went house-by-house providing education on the benefits of early testing for general community and pregnant women. In their educational one-on-one sessions, they also mentioned that they have Nurses and HIV Counsellors on board "If you would like to be counselled and tested, all you need it's just to inform us and we will refer the counsellor to your house" said one of the members of Homu branch. If one request for counselling and testing, a TAC employee working as a Prevention Treatment Literacy Practitioner, Daniel Mathebula, will be beeped on his cell phone. Daniel will call the Nurse and or the HIV Counsellor and give her the house number where counselling and testing has been requested. A proper counselling session will then be conducted with the client at the comfort of their homes.
On this particular door-to-door campaign, the branch has managed to reach 264 people through one-on-one educational sessions, where 103 were males and 161 were females. 34 people were tested for HIV and 12 were further referred for TB screening.
This is how we did it in Mopani, it would be very interesting to get comments from other TAC Districts as to how do they conduct their door-to-door campaigns.

Redwoods, the Super Trees
They can grow to be the tallest trees on Earth. They can produce lumber, support jobs, safeguard clear waters, and provide refuge for countless forest species. If we let them.

Among the oldest and tallest trees on Earth, California redwoods often exceed 300 feet in height and can reach diameters of 10 to 20 feet or more. Some of these trees are more than 1,500 years old.

Teletubbies Were NOT Gay!
All the way back in the 90′s Jerry Falwell, an evangelical fundamentalist, said he was positive that the purple Teletubby was gay.
Here's what he said exactly:
"He is purple – the gay pride color; and his antenna is shaped like a triangle – the gay-pride symbol. Role modelling the gay lifestyle is damaging to the moral lives of children."
The lady that played the yellow Teletubbies called Laa-Laa is saying that none of the Teletubbies were gay.
Here's what she said regarding the former ignorant statements:
"I think it's embarrassing for the people who said it. What kind of person can take the obvious innocence and turn it intosomething else? We were hardly sexual beings."
During her ten years as Laa-Laa, the BBC popular show fought rumours of gay undertones.

For local designer C.L. Lam, turning food waste into desirable products is already a viable business.
From bags to brushes, his company Green & Associates make over 60 household items using up to 50% of food waste, like apple pulp, coffee grounds and milk, together with conventional materials.
Unfortunately for Hong Kong's mountains of trash, Lam has based his factory across the border in mainland China, citing cheaper manufacturing and transport costs, re-using its food waste, rather than his home city's.
Ultimately both Lam and Lin are honest when it comes to addressing the real problem: reducing food waste in the first place.
"Hong Kong people like to eat different types of food, but at the same time they generate serious issues that haven't been solved properly," said Lin.
"Really, reducing the amount of food that we try to buy that would be another good solution to solve this food waste issue."

Legal Anthropology
Legal practices, processes, and claims are among the most powerful forces that shape our lives. Legal anthropology has historically tried to understand the relationship between legal processes and other aspects of social, cultural, economic, and political life as well as the meanings and implications of legal practices on their own terms. It is arguable that, at its 19th-century origins, anthropology was the product of legal concerns, as scholars tried to understand what made 19th-century Europe and North America seemingly so different from other times and other places. For many of these scholars, law was a key point of difference. Yet, much anthropology in the 20th century implicitly challenged such rigid and implicitly evolutionary distinctions. In particular, anthropologists tried to show how other cultures had "lawlike" institutions that were as complex and reasonable as those of Western law. In the mid-20th century, in the search for lawlike processes, anthropology settled on disputes as the basic unit of comparison. This move saw a relative decline in wider interest in legal anthropology, as the analysis tended to produce endless studies of small-scale decision making. In the late 1980s, however, a general resurgence in legal anthropology occurred. This was marked, in large measure, by a shift from studying processes that seemed lawlike to a focus on self-consciously legal procedures. That shift can broadly be understand as a move from legal anthropology to the anthropology of law, in which the object of study is those institutions, processes, and concepts that have their roots in (but are not limited to) "Western liberal law." Anthropologists have therefore increasingly turned their attention to issues such as human rights, property, and citizenship. This, of course, has not ruled out the analysis of alternative legal orders—for example, what is taken to be Islamic law—but these are not usually studied as isolated cultural processes.
There is a general lack of up-to-date overviews, but there are a number of works that can serve as introductions to the history of legal anthropology and its concerns. Fuller 1994, Moore 2001, and Just 1992 are good review essays, yet are all becoming outdated. Lazarus-Black and Hirsch 1994 and Starr and Collier 1989 are two useful collections of essays that demonstrate the renewed interest in legal anthropology that came about in the late 1980s; in particular, they show the importance of an appreciation of power relations in the analysis of legal processes. Mundy 2002 and Moore 2005 are comprehensive readers, with the former focusing on more recent essays, and the latter giving a historical overview.

Here's a fun way to serve these sandwiches with flair: Shop party--supply stores for red and white checked paper basket liners-- like you'd see used lining a hamburger basket at a diner-or even paper hot dog sandwich holders used in delis. Pick up these fun paper items for serving the Pluto Pizza Dogs.
Weather has a chill and you can't grill? Cook the hot dogs as directed on package for boiling or microwaving.

We finalized a Request for Proposal that took three weeks to complete-we needed three copies. We are a graphic design group so "presentation is everything." We had settled for another notebook but when we went to the furniture area for another reason, we saw the Stewart collection. Stewart is far superior in detail, design, construction, and value. Only negative, only a few in stock at our store.
