Minister of State Conor Lenihan welcomes release of Sudanese Human Rights Defender
The Minister of State for Development Cooperation and Human Rights, Mr Conor Lenihan T.D., has welcomed the release from detention in Khartoum, Sudan of Dr Mudawi Ibrahim Adam, Chairperson of the Sudanese Social Development Organization (SUDO).
Dr Mudawi was detained on 8 May 2005, shortly before he was due to travel to Ireland to be presented with the inaugural Front Line Award for human rights defenders by President McAleese. Three days later, Dr. Mudawi and his colleague Mr Yasir Salim were charged under the Sudanese Penal Code with "espionage against the country " and "entering and photographing military areas and works". The first charge carries a potential penalty of death or life imprisonment.
On Friday, 13 May 2005 the Front Line Award was accepted on Dr Mudawi's behalf by his wife, Mrs Sabah Mohammed Adam Ali and daughter Huda [aged 10] from President McAleese at a ceremony held in Dublin's City Hall.
Minister Lenihan said:
"The decision by the Government of Sudan to release Dr Mudawi and his colleague Mr Yasir Salim and to return Dr Mudawi's passport is very welcome. I trust that this action will be followed by the formal dropping of all charges brought against them, once the Sudanese legal authorities have completed their investigations. I strongly commend the important humanitarian and social development work being undertaken by the Sudan Social Development Organization and would urge that in future it should be allowed to proceed without interruption.
Following Dr Mudawi's detention, I contacted senior officials of the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on his behalf, while the Ambassador of Ireland in Cairo and the European Union's representatives in Khartoum also followed –up this case actively. In resolutions adopted last week, Seanad Éireann and the European Parliament called for the immediate release of Dr Mudawi. I trust that the Government of Sudan's decision to release Dr Mudawi and his colleague reflects a recognition of the widespread international concern which this case had generated.
I hope that the three SUDO members who are still in detention – Mr Salah Mohammed Abdelrahman, Mr Mohammed Musa Aldood and Mr Yousif Kabier- will also be released shortly.
One of the key priorities in the field of human rights during the 2004 Irish Presidency of the European Union was the adoption by Member States of Guidelines on Human Rights Defenders. The Guidelines aim to mainstream concern for human rights defenders into EU foreign policy. The cases of Dr Mudawi and his colleagues amply illustrate the continuing need for action in this area."
18 May 2005
Note for Editors
Dr Mudawi Ibrahim Adam is the Chairperson of the Sudan Social Development Organisation (SUDO), a voluntary organisation created to promote sustainable development and human rights in Sudan. It is engaged in humanitarian activities in the Darfur Region as well as in human rights education and development projects throughout Sudan. Dr Mudawi was previously arrested on 24 January 2005 and detained until 8 March 2005, when he was released on bail. He went on hunger strike and was transferred to hospital on 26 February 2005. He was then charged with "attempting to commit suicide", which, under Article 133 of the 1991 Sudan Penal Code, could be penalised by one year's imprisonment. This charge has not yet been formally withdrawn. In 2004, Dr Mudawi spent seven months in police custody, having been charged, in connection with his human rights work, of committing offences against the State. Following the hearing of his trial on 7 August 2004, all charges against Dr Mudawi were dropped and he was released.
Mr Saleh Mohamed Abdelrahman is a SUDO volunteer who participated in peace –building projects in South Darfur. He was arrested together with Dr Mudawi on 24 January 2005 in Kondoua, North Khordofan and transferred to Khartoum on 28 January 2005. His wife and sister have been allowed to visit him at least once.
Mr Mohamed Musa Aldood, a SUDO volunteer from Al Genaina, West Darfur, is an engineering student. He was arrested in Khartoum on 4 February 2005 and went on hunger strike on 10 March 2005. His current location and whether or not his is still on hunger strike are unknown.
Mr Yousif Kabier, a merchant from Khartoum North, is a member of the General Assembly of SUDO. He was detained in November 2004. His location is unknown and he has not been given access to his family or relatives.

Im a reporter/photog for a biker mag here in EP. I was informed that the local biker Coalition would be giving out gifts at the local hospital on Christmas morning, so i HAD to go :). After we had visited all the kids we could find in the hospital rooms, the bikers (from various clubs) actively looked for kids. This is Santa "Dusty," with his real beard and hair, from the local Rolling Thunder club (Veterans, POW/MIA). Its amazing how every adult looked at our little gang with trepidation and a little nervousness. 40+ leather clad, big, rough bikers with patches like Bandidos and Jesters tend to do that. But NOT ONE kid flinched when they saw Santa Dusty. Gotta love the innocence of kids.

Sony Ericsson's portable speakers
Blare music from your Walkman phone with these tiny speakers.
Sony Ericsson has always been good about accessorizing their admirable Walkman phone line. And while the company hasn't announced any such new products at CTIA, it is showing its latest options in music phone speakers. These tiny portable speakers are perfect for a weekend trip or a day at the park, as they do a decent job of making your music public. Of course, they lack the wattage of your home stereo, but they still can turn any event into a small party. The MPS-70 portable speaker system feature two cube-shaped speakers that attach easily to any Walkman phone. Almost identical to the company's previous MPS-60 speakers, the MPS-70s have the same basic form factor except that they come in gray and black instead of white and orange. They also feature an FM radio antenna if you'd rather catch tunes over the air. They should fetch a price in the $50 range.
The company also also showed its MPS-75 speakers. Available in orange or gold, the MPS-75s are contained in one unit so you can't separate the them for stereo effect. The should also sell somewhere in the $50 range. And of course, both products work only with the Walkman phone proprietary connection.

Too bad the stock market turns into gambling place instead of investment place most those bankers control the prices of any stock is not base on the performance of the stock any more I was started to pull my money out of the stock markets a couple months ago if I'm going to gamble I prefer go to Vegas at least some pretty women serve me the drink
Fox News was doing the same last night if you happened to catch that hot blonde Gerry Willis.
No difference between CNBC and Faux News.
Agreed.... Could be an isolated set of moronic trades..... It happens. And I'll lazily add in what I posted in another forum a minute ago:Even if JPM posts a quarterly loss, I don't see why everyone is up in arms. The firm had a few losing quarters between 2000 and 2006, well before the crisis, didn't it? The bigger issue is whether EU leaders can put an effective safety net in place with regard to sovereign debt.... They gotta be able to expedite debt monetization if need be.

Salzburg Governor praises Sri Lanka
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, 26 February 2013 15:15
- Hits: 577
Calling Sri Lanka a country ''with much potential and richness of culture'', the Governor of the state of Salzburg Gabi Burgstaller said ''it is a beautiful place on earth that Austrians would like to visit.'' She made this comment at the 65th National Day which was celebrated at Hotel Radisson in Salzburg, coinciding with the opening of the Consulate of Sri Lanka on 07th February 2013.
The Governor also reiterated her commitment to strengthen the relationship between Sri Lanka and Salzburg, stating that 'both places remain centers of tourist attraction'.
The official opening of the Consulate of Sri Lanka, headed by
Gerhard Huber, the newly appointed Honorary Consul, was attended by several dignitaries in the State of Salzburg, including government officials and members of the consular corps and the business community.
Ambassador Azeez, during his speech, highlighted the importance of the State of Salzburg to Sri Lanka and called for collaboration between Sri Lanka and Salzburg in a number of fields which have opened up for development in the country. He stated that . Huber's service to Sri Lanka, including his humanitarian assistance in the aftermath of the Tsunami in 2004, manifested his deep attachment to the country and its people.
On 13th February, Sri Lanka also opened a Consulate in Bratislava, the capital city of Slovak Republic, headed by Peter Gabalec, Honorary Consul. At the reception held at Hotel Albrecht, the diplomatic and consular corps in Bratislava, officials of the Government of Slovak Republic and members of the business community, academia and media participated.
Gabalec spoke of his priorities in the work programme of the Consulate, stressing that he intended to play 'an important role in enhancing trade and tourism between Sri Lanka and Slovakia'. Elaborating on the initiatives taken by the Government of Sri Lanka to lead the nation from peace to prosperity, Ambassador Azeez stated that rehabilitation and reconciliation as well as economic development are proceeding apace under the leadership of President Mahinda Rajapaksa, expanding opportunities available for Sri Lankans in all fields.
These events in Salzburg and Bratislava were preceded by the celebration of the National Day on 4th of February 2013 at the Chancery of the Sri Lanka Embassy in Vienna.

We offer two ways to locate information:
We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Vibrant red in color, the 2009 Pinot Noir displays a nose that is both pure and complex revealing aromas of strawberries, earthy fresh mushrooms and smoky spice. The palate is finely balanced, with a vibrant core of red fruits clad in a silky, luscious lining. A subtle textural chalkiness and fine grained tannins indicate a wine that will develop beautifully in the bottle over the next 7-8 years.
"Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2009 Pinot Noir has pronounced aromas of red cherry, warm raspberries and lavender with nuances of cinnamon stick, violets, cranberries and cloves. Medium bodied with a medium level of silky tannins, it has a good backbone of lively acidity, plenty of mouth-filling berry and spice flavors and a long finish. Drink it now to 2014+." 90 Points The Wine Advocate
"Moderately saturated medium red. Reduced, soil-inflected nose offers red fruits and pungent smoky minerality. Sweet, pliant and concentrated, with a distinctly saline quality to the complex flavors of cherry, raspberry and underbrush. Tactile, full pinot with an enticing balance of sweetness and acidity.

So you want to add something (and not break the build) ...
All platforms are now using the same set of Makefiles for the build, so, finally, all you have to do are edit Makefile.in files (and possibly mozilla/allmakefiles.sh
if you add new makefiles and possibly toolkit/toolkit-tiers.mk
{{ Note("Don\'t forget to check Tinderbox after you check in!") }}
Adding files to the build
- All platforms use
files now. Edit these to add new source files, and export header files. - Dependencies are specified in
too - If you add a new directory to the build, you have to add an entry for its Makefile in the directory list in
, as well as adding the directory to the list of subdirs in../Makefile.in
. - Some directories are special, and you need to list new directories in
. - On platforms that build with gcc, because of the symbol visibility, you might have to check System Headers to make sure they are properly wrapped.
Checking In
Adding new files to the build can cause breakage on tinderbox and to other developers if things aren't checked in the correct order.
- Check in only the new files.
- Check in the patches to existing files that make your new files get used.
Exporting Files
Exporting a file makes it get copied to mozilla/dist. C and C++ header files are exported by including them the EXPORTS
list in {{ Source("xpcom/base/Makefile.in#60", "Makefile.in") }}
, and IDL files are exported by including them in the XPIDLSRCS

Is the proverbial pony of Pony Express fame finally dead, taken out and trucked off to the glue factory? It's a question that seems to trot ever closer to being answered with each postal rate hike by the U.S. Postal Service and every tale of an institution going further into the red.
It's sad, because by law the Postal Service is an independent institution of the government, free from money and influence. Yet since 2005 it has twice defaulted on payments totaling $11 billion and run dry a $15 billion loan from the Treasury.
Is there any hope for the Postal Service's survival in its current machination? The organization says it is getting leaner, meaner and more efficient, ending charges for some services, but all the while fees to send packages and parcels are rising.
On Sunday, the latest rate hike became official, with a First Class stamp going up a penny to 46 cents. Letters and packages to more far-flung locales went up significantly more.
One cent is nothing on the stamp many of us use to pay a bill, send a letter, send a postcard. Where the Postal Service will begin to see further pain and public revolt, we believe, is how the costs are rising for small businesses in this country, which sent out packages and mailers in bulk, both domestically and internationally. They will start to turn away, and whether those small businesses turn away to private firms like FedEx or DHL remains to be seen.
The very thing that started this downward slide of the Postal Service might be the thing that puts it to rest once and for all — the Internet. The inability for the USPS to be self-sufficient began once years of electronic correspondence and paperless billing, ecommerce and the ability to bypass traditional package transfer began in earnest.
That is only going to get worse, as social media and viral marketing, the use of mobile phones and email campaigns, Tweets and texts, all of these forms of message and content delivery will increase and the country and its citizens increase their reliance of digital goods and services.
Imperial County might not see the net effect for some time, as we are an area with limited digital penetration, relatively speaking. Our communities, especially our smaller ones like Heber and Seeley, need our post offices.
But as the digital culture we all live by becomes more intractable for the way we conduct our lives, regardless of age, income or status, then the post office as we know it will be no more.
We could argue the USPS is pricing itself in obscurity, but maybe it's time to change, refocus, become a different animal doing different things — become meaningful again.
How does that happen? Is it too late? Is this a lot of pull from a penny-a-stamp raise? The only sure thing in that series of questions is that they haven't answered, but someone better answer them quickly or the pony gets it.
Latest postal rate hike took effect Sunday.
If USPS doesn't change, it will go away.

Born in Hiroshima, musician Kumi Tanioka joined Square to write music for the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles series.
Late last year, on 11/11/11, she performed on stage at the Vana♪Con orchestral concert, featuring her compositions from Final Fantasy XI. She played solo piano and also accompanied the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra.
Having gone freelance, Tanioka has founded her own company, named Riquisimo, and scored three independently developed interactive storybooks. Published by DICO, Snow White, The Ugly Duckling and Hansel and Gretel contain multiple translations of all text and narration, making them a cutting edge language tool for the young.
This is our video interview filmed with the composer in Shinjuku, Tokyo prior to the release of her latest game score for Ragnarok Odyssey.

That sounds nice (for the janitor: the triumphant under dog with the heart of gold), but is incredibly unrealistic. Compared to the surgeon, the janitor needs far less training.
Let's be real, do you want a janitor giving you heart surgery, or the guy who has been in med school for 12 years and a practicing surgeon for 15?
The janitor's job must be performed. No question. But, if their compensation is equal to the surgeon's then why would the surgeon become a surgeon if s/he can just mop floors instead?
The market (if you mean a free market: not the American economy) is composed of many people who see things in many ways. The janitor thinks he should get a bajillion bucks per hour. He'll look for the job that pays him the most. The hospital owner wants janitorial work done, but cannot overpay the janitors and risk losing surgeons to other hospitals or increase the costs of medical bills for customers. The market as a whole will tend to equilibrate these exchanges.
[–]Leon912 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
The thing is, the market decides whose profession is deemed valuable or profitable. For example, we need doctors and programmers, due to rising issues in social health with generations and human physical limitations and then with technology etc. Yet at the same time, we need art because it cultivates the beauty of humanity and encourages cultural exploration within human society along with its expression. Yet look at all those "art majors" who end up working jobs irrelevant with their degree? you have them working as baristas, retailers, etc because its not profitable to invest in them. Like wise for those who are historians, the brain surgeon, programmer, engineer, etc, are deemed much more important and needed in supply as there's a bigger demand for their type of labor, therefore they get paid more. The others then become deemed less valuable because there is more of a supply of them then there is a demand. So people are then forced to change "Ok, well if I want to make a living or live in better standards, I need to swap my profession" which is a common trend in college especially in youth today.
Your incentive to be able to live better would be to find a job or field in which the market is asking a high demand for. As socialists, we say, that is ridiculous, mankind should not be based on the question of whether its profitable because what determines what is "profitable" or not, are the ruling elites, the capitalists etc, the working class is just shaped into their favor.
Again, socialism and ultimately communism, is saying why do you need to judge people as to whether "are they profitable or not?", if someone wants to be a specific major or in a field of study, they have every right to fulfill their passion in such category without having to be subjugated to the supply and demand of the market. Yes there was once a time where capitalism did not exist, and people lived in different manners, yes there can be a time where capitalism and supply/demand will cease to exist - its not "impossible" or "unrealistic" to think in such mannerisms. Historically it was considered "impossible" or "unrealistic" of the thoughts of capitalism during Adam Smith's time with his arguments of the invisible hand, and his arguments against the monarchs and the feudal system at the time yet look how we have changed given the modern era due to such level of thought at that time.
I will conclude that the reason we can't find that a janitor can be deemed valuable to society like a surgeon is outside of the income they make; is because we are being forced to think on a "market perspective", that is the market as a whole, the global market. Socialists are arguing for an evolution of such a state of living, socialism in this case, to actually break free from the restrictions imposed by capitalism. That human value can be judged on their labor and its contribution to human society rather then the capital they produce for someone else, that regardless of how "unrealistic" it may seem in the status quo, the status quo is subjugated to laws of the dialectics: that change will happen as time goes on, that quantity will produce a quality, that there will be negations of negations (Feudalism then capitalism then Socialism then Communism), etc. Human history has always developed in such mannerisms and we are fighting for a new epoch using dialectics as our tool for analysis and change. Unfortunately, I find this would have to be a thread in itself to further explain the perspectives and how socialists view "the janitor and brain surgeon" and how the status quo sees but one must understand, in a classless society, income inequality will cease to exist.
[–]ArchonAlarion 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Art majors don't put food in peoples's mouths, make vast industrial/informational systems more efficient, or pull tumors out of people's skulls.
It's not that "the market" is stamping "unvaluable" on the foreheads of art majors. First of all there is a huge issue with college degrees nowadays due to government loans and other things (let's not go there). Secondly, the value of "art" is highly subjective. Anyone can puke colors on a canvas and call it "art". Many try to become artists and promote their work and fail because honestly, it isn't hard to make art. It's not. Notice how musical and performing artists are just that much more valued than painters, because their work is harder and requires more expertise. You can cry all you want about how hard it is to make art, but art is really all about the connection between the concept and the composition, and often the concepts are broad, borrowed, and the composition can be highly surreal and simplistic. Lastly, art is fashion. You catch the wave or you don't.
The market is doing exactly what you communists claim it doesn't do, fairly and justly distributing wealth based on contribution. Not that the current state of affairs with state interventionism is perfect, far from it.
So for you, art is nothing but just second rate task that any old Joe Can suddenly be the next Picasso in? That's an immense insult and quite naive I'm afraid to say. Art is more then just a painting, its music, its fashion, it can be a form of writing or oral poetry, its a way of human expression and to smack away because again, its not deemed valuable in the market because its not "difficult enough" is absurd. I've been repeating that in my posts, socialism aims to destroy the necessity to view each other as "what's my value in the market/industry" because that profits no one but the business owners who need the human labor to produce. Then again even in the music industry there's immense corporations who constantly pressure their artists to sing to their preferences, once again even they are forced to succumb to market interests, there's a huge battle in the music industry between interests as well. Look at the elitism you present when you compare because of its overall connection to the field and its relation to difficulty and market. Its as silly as saying "football is a man's sport and soccer is a girl's sport", personal preference is not absolute truth to society. Everyone can be what they wish to live out without having to be belittled (once again I say) to what's deemed more "difficult" or "productive". Individualism is irrelevant to us and arguing with such a perspective is pointless when speaking to a communist/socialist. They care more about their link with overall society and its overall advancement then they do worrying whether or not their job is hard enough to be given higher value over others. Socialists know this attitude of individualism is a byproduct of capitalism with their foolish notion of "rags-to-riches".
College degrees and issue with government loans? I'm talking about people changing their majors, or graduating with degrees that are rendered useless because its not recession proof because its expendable in the market. I cannot stress enough the interlinking of one's field of study to the market. In conclusion, despite my counter-point comments I find i'm repeating myself ad nauseam nonetheless it was a good conversation, so thank you though :P.
[–]ArchonAlarion 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago*
Art is a vague concept that always has and always will invoke a sort of passionate, under dog mentality in its supporters.
The market is composed of millions and millions of people. You have no justification for demanding that artists OUGHT to be valued more highly. That's just your own tyrannical and selfish impulse. Personal preference is not absolute truth to society.
Thanks for the conversation though. I hope you get that I'm playing devil's advocate about the art stuff and please consider how you undermine your passion for freedom and diversity by imposing your views.

Employers should think twice before relying on the arbitration provision contained in an Employee Handbook because for the second time in as many years, a Massachusetts federal court has refused to enforce such a provision. In July 2012, the First Circuit rejected an employer's bid to compel arbitration after an applicant for employment sued for discrimination. In that case, the court ruled that the arbitration requirement referenced in an employment application was ambiguous because the actual policy referred to "employees" rather than "applicants."

* The Mukurob (Finger of God), near Asab in Namibia, was a sandstone rock formation in the Namib desert which collapsed on 7 December 1988. Mukurob consisted mostly of sandstone. The structure was 12 m high and up to 4.5 m wide, and weighed some 450 tons. What made Mukorob so special, however, was its base. Just 3 m long and 1.5 m wide, it was narrower than the mass of rock which it supported
circling Mukurob - its aspect now changed only by our own actions can we change our perspective and bring about a change the shadows will inexorably shift and the warmth radiated is comforting moving out of the shadows ease things into focus by the new light shed on it it does not matter how long we look at something or examine it, it won't change WE need to circle in order to improve the aspect of a given situation moving out of our comfort zone to succeed circling the rock Please see the About section for details regarding Mukurob (Finger of God), Namibia.

I do enjoy my workouts… the second they are over. Granted, there is a definite sense of pride and "I did good for my body today" feeling that follows a good workout. But somehow, that sense of achievement holds no reserve to motivate me for any subsequent workout. I'm on my own. Left to my own device, I would probably never exercise. And really, I only workout because I have to. I wish that I were one of those that could get lost in the endorphin rush, able to move past the pain. But no such luck. My neurotransmitters just ask me, Is this over yet?
We are all aware that, as we get older, we tend to get more sedentary and thus need to exercise more. And, with my current lifestyle of sitting at a computer 10+ hours a day, it's not by getting coffee refills that I'll fit in those 10,000 steps a day .
Which is why I was so excited to get my Fitbit about 8 months ago. The Fitbit is a sleek lil' fitness and sleep tracking device that monitors daily physical activity via steps taken, distance traveled and sleep quality. I loved the concept of having a device that would keep me attuned to my actual level of activity. Some concrete measurement - besides a scale - to will remind me that I need to get off… my chair.
Fitbug I enjoyed the Fitbit tremendously, but lost it within a few weeks. It just fell off and I was crushed when I couldn't find it. I was pondering the idea of getting a replacement when I ran into a new friend who works for Fitbug and lent me a unit to try.
I love it. And though there are many similarities between the Fitbit and the Fitbug units, but the 'Bug (we like to call it that for short) is also very different:
- First off, though the Bug's design is not quite as sleek as the Fitbit's, the large display screen shows 8 days of progress and all the details of activity. Even has the time and an alarm (you know, to remind you to hit the pavement). And Bug does have three different form of attachments to ensure that the unit WILL stay attached. I still have it!
- The Bug is a very accurate device. It is calibrated to one's stride and weight for a personalized reading. Through an algorithm, it differentiates walking from aerobic activity and measures caloric burn and distance accordingly.
- The Bug presents itself as a software program first, and a device, second. Which is why there is a membership fee as opposed to a one-time device price. The activity data accumulated in the Bug can be uploaded to the online interface. It's on this "coaching" website that users can set goals for activity, weight and monitor food intake over time. They can also compete in virtual walking leagues and challenges (like crossing Antarctica, "Great Walk of China", etc.). Profiles let you manually track body measurements, VOX, heart rate, BMI, etc.
- I was questioning why the Bug was not a Bluetooth device. The fact is that a Bluetooth device could easily be interfered with in an environment - like a gym - where many such devices are present. Makes sense.
- The Fitbug program is not about diets nor is it about outrageous exercise programs. It's simply about awareness of food intake and physical activity, which in itself creates the framework for positive results. It's all very achievable.
Aside from these attributes, I learned that the Fitbug's true mission is to keep the population fit on a larger scale. Indeed, in the UK as well as here in the US, Fitbug proposes a program to businesses of all types and sizes to transform the workplace into a healthy place to work. Employees using the device are found to be making positive lifestyle changes, but more interestingly this program has allowed certain health insurers to actually provide a rebate in cash (wow!) in return for using the unit. It's a smart preventative measure with measurable results that is a win-win-win for insurers, the employers and employees.
Technology has provided us with many versions of devices for fitness tracking. You may have seen Jenny Craig's new MetabolicMAX program which works with a similar device, this one worn as an armband (that's a smart program for them to get into). There are also many fun smartphone apps and related devices to play with, such as the fisica by Wahoo Fitness . This little device connects to the iPhone to measure heart rate and stride. Fun, but it's really meant for the more serious athlete. A little bulky to wear to the office just to count strides, huh?
In the end, weight management is all about exercise and calories in and calories out. But physical activity affects sleep, metabolism, mood, mental sharpness… I'm in for some of that too.
So now, I park further so that I can walk further, always take the stairs and actually relish running errands because my Bug will be accumulating those steps and translating them into calories burned. And so, I thank the Bug for making me aware and motivated get a move on.

All you have to do is go across the bottom and follow the closest enemy. Nukes are handy in this wave if you can't take them out with just your artillery. What I usually have by this wave is 4 out of 6 cannon speed, 3 out of 3 artillery, 3 out of 3 shields, and 2 out of 3 engine speed. Hope this helped!

College Football Predictions: Quick Prognostications Going Into Week Six
By James Walker ,
Going into the 2010 season, it was a forgone conclusion that the Alabama Crimson Tide would be the team to beat, and Ohio State, Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma, and Texas would try their best to knock the Tide off their perch.
Oh yeah, and that team from Idaho; the one no one seems to respect, the Boise State Broncos.
Here are a few of the match-ups going into week six, and predictions of their outcomes.

Michigan's Denard Robinson is by far the leading candidate for the 2010 Heisman Trophy. However, there are questions around the opposition he has faced and if he has truly been challenged.
This may be the week.
Michigan State will arrive in Ann Arbor ready to fight for pride and state bragging rights. Let's face it; if the Spartans contain Robinson, then they have a great shot at winning the game.
I think they will.
Michigan State 31, Michigan 28
The Georgia Bulldogs have become an embarrassment not only to themselves, but to the SEC. Heavily favored to beat the Buffalos of Colorado, they traveled to Boulder only to humiliate themselves even more.
This week they have the Tennessee Volunteers coming to town. The Volunteers were expected to struggle this season as new head coach Derek Dooley rebuilds what former head coach Lane Kiffin basically burned down in one season.
The Vols came very close to upsetting LSU in Baton Rouge last week. Don't be surprised if they add further insult to injury to the Bulldogs in Athens this weekend.
Tennessee 24, Georgia 20
The Tide roll into Columbia, South Carolina this weekend to face the OBC-lead Gamecocks. Alabama is coming off two straight victories over SEC teams, Arkansas and Florida, and made Spurrier's alma mater look utterly ridiculous in Tuscaloosa.
South Carolina should make it interesting for awhile before the Tide switch gears and start slapping the Gamecocks around like a high school junior varsity team.
Alabama 28, South Carolina 21
The Razorbacks and Aggies travel to neutral field, Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas) to play in the Southwest Classic.
This one is very easy to predict. Good luck, Aggies. Perhaps one day you will become a member of the SEC.
Arkansas 34, Texas A&M 14
Pitt comes calling on South Bend as the Panthers face the Fighting Irish this weekend. Notre Dame, with new head coach Brian Kelly at the helm, have not met the irrational expectations of fans to date.
They should win this week. Under Wannstedt, the Panthers will always be a mediocre team.
Notre Dame 24, Pitt 10
Hey Gainesville—the Mad Hatter of LSU and his Tigers are coming to The Swamp. When the Tigers come calling it's like a three-ring circus has just arrived these days.
Perhaps Miles will start Jarrett Lee instead of Jordan Jefferson. Conventional wisdom would lead you to believe that is what Miles would do, but who ever said ole Les is a logical head coach?
It should be a defensive battle no matter what, and since it's in The Swamp, the Gators should prevail.
Florida 28, LSU 21
Are the Arizona Wildcats for real this season? That's the question many are asking as we enter week six.
Can the Wildcats contain Jacquizz Rodgers? Can Oregon State stop Arizona at home? These are the questions that will be answered Saturday.
Let me tell you how it will turn out when it's over.
Oregon State 20, Arizona 17
It appears that Lane Kiffin is in for a few years of hard times. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Stanford is coming off a big-time defeat at the hands of the Oregon Ducks. USC also got slapped by Washington last week.
The Cardinal is going to shovel the last bit of dirt on USC's 2010 season this weekend.
Stanford 35, USC 21
Never in a million years would I expect Indiana to provide any type of competition in a college football game.
Until now.
Terrelle Pryor is not 100 percent, and the Hoosiers may have found an offense that could scare the Buckeyes this weekend.
Ohio State will win, but it will be closer than some think.
Ohio State 30, Indiana 24
This is arguably the best annual rivalry in college football over the past 20 years. It doesn't matter what their records are; this game is guaranteed to be full of intrigue, controversy, and hard-hits.
This season will be no different.
Both teams suffered defeats on the road this season: FSU at Oklahoma and Miami at Ohio State. Now they need to prove to the college football world that they are better than those performances showed.
The key in my humble opinion rests with Miami's Jacory Harris. If he can remember which team he's supposed to throw the ball to then Miami should win this game. Also playing at home definitely gives the 'Canes a bit of an edge.
Miami 31, FSU 28

With the financial meltdown of 2008 having brought much of the American economy to its knees, it's not surprising many critics of capitalism in Washington and elsewhere immediately blamed the capitalist system.
These critics argue that this free market system based on profit is itself corrupt. Many Americans suspect big business is often led by corporate fat cats who only care about lining their own pockets with billions.
They also hold the belief that as the corporate rich get richer, it must logically follow that the poor get poorer. So talk of soaking the rich with sky-high taxes can only improve society and help the poor.
There's another theory that sometimes goes along with this: that government can correct the sins of capitalism because bureaucrats in government are more trustworthy than those who work for profit.
This theory suggests Americans should concentrate their allegiance on government and back the urges of Washington politicians and bureaucrats to micro-manage capitalism and steer it straight.
Others, though, like author Michael Medved in his new book The 5 Big Lies about American Business say all those theories are wrong and dangerous. Instead, he says that the more free the free market economy is, the more it will profit the entire country.
Michael Medved will appear on Thursday's The 700 Club to talk about why the free market system is better for America. Click play to watch the interview.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Is this the Samsung Galaxy S IV? (Image credit: bbs.52samsung.com)
Leaked images of what appears to be the Samsung Galaxy S IV have surfaced on a Chinese forum, suggesting that the device will retain a similar look to its predecessor.
Published on Chinese forum 52Samsung.com, the images show a smartphone with the model number GT-I9502. The model variant leaked is believed to be a dual-SIM version specifically for the Chinese market.
While its unknown whether the leaked photos are legitimate, the images show a device that has a similar design to Samsung's Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II smartphones.
The phone appears to have a new pattern etched into the glossy plastic that adorns the front and back, while the side shows a brushed aluminium-style look.
Curiously, two of the images show results from the Antutu benchmark app. The device in the images runs the latest version of Android, 4.2.1 Jelly Bean, is powered by a 1.8GHz quad-core processor, has 2GB of RAM and a 13-megapixel camera. It also has a full HD 1080p display, though the size of the screen isn't mentioned.
The Galaxy S IV hasn't officially been announced yet but will be unveiled on Thursday 14 March (Friday 15 March, Australian time) at a press event in New York.
Do you think this is the Samsung Galaxy S IV? Are you impressed? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
• Samsung's second Galaxy IV teaser video tells us nothing, again
• Samsung Galaxy S IV to come in six variants?
• Samsung to unveil Galaxy S IV in March?
• Watch Samsung's awful Galaxy S IV teaser video
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Re: Keeping pace
Pirated online content. Don't believe for a second everyone is only streaming Hulu 24x7, both up and down.
Go look at actual studies of bandwidth usage rather than what the MPAA/RIAA is spewing. P2P is not the #1 bandwidth category, Internet video (primarily YouTube) is.
Maybe you don't use MLB.tv, CNN's online video, CBS.com, Hulu, Netflix, iTunes, Blockbuster Online Access, or YouTube. But the stats say that there are a hell of a lot more people using legal services than pirating. For one thing, it's considerably easier.
It's plenty fast for people's current needs with regards to legit online content. You don't need to download a song from iTunes in less than 1 second, you can't stream the video from Hulu any faster than what the video plays at.
Hulu provides low-resolution, low-bitrate videos because people have shitty DSL connections. Go watch a Blu-ray disc and compare it to Hulu or even Netflix's online "HD". Now tell me why it's unreasonable to want the same level of quality from Internet video.
Where the "demand" is coming from is people "demanding" they download 100GB worth of Steam patches and games, download the song from iTunes in 1 second, and watch full screen HD on three TVs.
Oh, I see, we should buy all of our software in cardboard boxes, wait 20 minutes to download an album, and watch crappy low-resolution Internet video.
People demand better service than they did in 2002. My GPU is easily 50x faster than it was in 2002. My CPU is at least 10x faster (depending on how you consider multicore). I have 16x more memory, 20x more disk space, and a monitor that's twice as large and quadruple the resolution.
So, yeah, do I expect to be able to stream HD video? Yes. Do I expect to be able to download games and other software quickly? Yes. Do I expect to be able to download music without waiting for minutes? Yes.
People always quote the "Oh, well my family will do all that together." People forget that the majority of the subscribers out there are us single people. Do we need 15 HD streams coming in?
No one needs ANY HD streams. What we *want* is an Internet connection where we don't have to think, "Oh crap, I ran out of bandwidth!". Being able to pull Fedora and watch Netflix at the same time would be a start.
Despite what you think, the consumer doesn't control the way content comes to you.
History disagrees. Hollywood fought TV and the VCR. We won. The TV networks fought DVRs. We won. Record companies refused to sell DRM-free music. We won.
Every single time some new technology comes along, the content companies bitch and moan. And then they fold. And of course, the technologies that are supposed to kill them never actually do.
Every time a technological advance is made, someone tries to rain on the parade by claiming that the technology is unnecessary. What would anyone do with a 1GB hard drive? What would anyone do with a 1.5Mbps connection all to themself? What would anyone do with a dual-core CPU?
The thing is, we ALWAYS find a use. Maybe the future is 4x HD resolution, or 3D, or higher color depth. Maybe it's games with better graphics (and larger patches), software as a service, or PCs that boot over the Internet.
The great thing about the Internet is that the people who own the pipes don't get to decide how they are filled. YouTube couldn't have existed in a world of dial-up. Steam doesn't fly on 256k DSL. And Netflix won't be able to stop mailing discs around until we all have 10Mbps+.
We are talking about the end of content distribution as we know it. Now, I don't think that the future of entertainment is teenagers making videos on YouTube. But I do think that you have to be crazy to believe that the future of entertainment is watching one of the 140 channels you subscribe to. The future is anything, anytime. The Internet is the technology that enables that future. That's why 100Mbps matters.

Bill & Bo Winiker Sextet
Sun, Mar 3, 2013

Venue: Shalin Liu Performance Center
37 Main Street, Rockport, MA 01966
Contact:Rockport Music
0 people saved this
A venerable Boston musical institution, Bill and Bo Winiker having been playing together for half a century--from entertaining Boston-area jazz fans to performing at President Clinton's inaugural ball. They were taught how to play music, specifically jazz, by their father at a very young age, and through unique arrangements perfected the big sound of a swing band. They have recorded with Billy Joel and performed with Aretha Franklin, yet haven't missed one gig at Skipjack's Sunday brunch in over 23 years. With a repertoire of more than 15,000 songs, the Winiker's can play everything from Duke Ellington to Katy Perry, but as founder of Sculler's Jazz Club Fred Taylor remarks, they have "great jazz knowledge and performance." Whatever the tune, "[t]he one ingredient is that [our father] taught us how to make the music come alive,'' says Bo.
