BEIRUT: A leading rebel commander has met with Druze sheikhs in the northern province of Idlib and received praise for his "moderation."
The sheikhs met with Jamal Maarouf, who heads the Syria Rebels Front, which is affiliated with the Free Syrian Army.
In a video posted this week of the encounter, Maarouf is seen talking to a group of sheikhs in a room, as he says that anyone espousing sectarian or other types of "division" is unwelcome within rebel ranks.
"No matter what his [ethnic or sectarian] affiliation is, any Syrian citizen … and the Syrian people – they're all my brethren," he said.
"This is the first time we've heard such talk," one of the sheikhs responded. "We've seen extremism, as you know," the sheikh continued.
"When someone speaks moderately, and is concerned with the nation, then anyone who is sane will support him."
Idlib is home to more than a dozen Druze villages, whose residents have largely been spared direct involvement in the 3-year-old civil war. Maarouf is also from the province.

APRIL POLLS:I'll beat Tinubu in Lagos Central – Durosimi-Etti
By Charles Kumolu
DAPO Durosimi-Etti is the Senatorial Candidate of Labour Party,LP, in Lagos Central Senatorial District. In this interview, he disclosed that imposition of candidates on party members forced him out of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, boasting that he would defeat the ACN candidate (Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu) in his constituency. Excerpts:
Why did you leave the ACN, which you were a core member?
THE events preceding and after the primaries were below our expectations. There is no rational thinking person that would remain in the party after witnessing what transpired. Political maneuvering is part of party politics, but when it comes to outright arrogance and disregard for people's right, one needs to make a proper decision on where to remain or go to. We also witnessed disregard for decorum and party guidelines.
The primaries were bogus and completely shambolic. People were taken to party headquarters, against the primaries that were supposed to be held from ward level. Apart from the fact that the rules were changed by adopting the delegates' option, when the votes were supposed to be counted, they weren't.
This is a party that is always quick to condemn other parties. Even the PDP gave their primaries a human face. They may have done anything behind the scene, but what we saw gave the impression that PDP conducted party primaries against adoption.
That was not the case in ACN that claims to fight oppression. It is unfortunate that ACN ironically oppresses people. Even with the hue and cry over the outcome of the primaries, the party chairman still went to the press and declared that imposition is a practice in the party.
I will never be a party to a group of people who muscle the people's voice. The national chairman said that whoever that is not satisfied with the outcome of the primaries, should go elsewhere. We have no problem with that. We have opted for another platform where our voices will be heard. We are happy we are in a civilised party.
You are contesting in a zone that has the wife of former governor Tinubu, Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu. What makes you think you can upstage candidates like her?
I have a better pedigree than any candidate in my constituency. And the people know that because they are wise, they know the person that is a grassroots person, we are not talking of someone, who does not know anything about the constituency. I know that given what is on ground today, I am sure that victory is certain for the Labour Party. I am only appealing to our people to ensure that they vote and protect their votes. They should stand at the polling centre and ensure that no one tampers with their votes.
We are in a society were money plays a determining role in who gets what politically. Do you have the financial muscle to wage the electoral war?
That is why we want to get away from that society were money determines the outcome of elections. Money politics is not good and that is why our people must kick against it by rejecting their money because that money is used to perpetuate corruption and dictatorship. The people are wiser now, if you give them money, they will collect and will not vote for you because they know that you are buying their votes.
Fashola has demonstrated to us that the people's wealth can be used to create good governance and he does not need to bribe anybody for a vote. That is also how our closeness and understanding of the grassroots will get us the needed votes to represent our constituency. That is why the LP adopted him as our governorship candidate. It is not as if we adopted him without reasons, we believe that he shares our vision. I can assure you that after Fashola's second term, LP will produce his successor.
We were tired of absurdities in ACN. How do you reconcile the act of imposing someone, who was rejected by his constituency on another people? Is that democracy?
Someone performed poorly in Epe and his people rejected him, then you now imposed the person on Ikeja people. How do you bring someone, who is a failure in his own natural environment to a place he knows nothing about? Of what benefit will he bring to Ikeja.
What are those new things that you would want to attract to your constituency, if elected?
I will initiate quality bills that would make huge difference in my constituency and my state. Lagos State is not fairly represented at the National Assembly, especially in the House of Representatives. I will fight for increased legislative representation for Lagos State. The population of the state warrants that we have more people at the National Assembly.
It will help the population spread in the state. I will have functional constituency offices at all Local Governments in Lagos Central, open-door policy to ensure that problems and suggestions are promptly attended to and addressed, creation of job opportunities, provisions for youth development and empowerment, holistic approach to development of districts like Badia, Orile and Makoko.
Provision of proper jetties for inland boats carrying goods and fisheries for fish docking, construction of the 4th mainland bridge, are areas that I hope to attract federal attention to. The abandonment of federal government infrastructures, is one thing that I will ensure that is readdressed. Most of these structuresare in my constituency.
You headed The Continuity Team, TCT, which campaigned for Fashola's second term, what happens to that group now that you are in Labour Party?

Arnie and Chalene not in offices
After completing the filming for an ad in Ktv I decided to visit Arnie in his officeBut when I got there he was gone and I started thinking maybe this is a quest And Iwent to see if he was in Charlene's office and it was also empty, Is this some sort of quest? I am on the A list and #3
Answer from: Leigh
I think its because of the upgrade! It happened to me aswell!
Answer from: milk
Same here. Max wasn't in his office so I switched to Arnie. After many hours later he finally called me but he wasn't in his office just the script.
Answer from: leahpiamia
I have max as my agent now but the same thing happened to me as well. once max called me into his office to talk, he was there again
Answer from: Zalfiesipper
Okay thanks a bunch guys! Neither of them are there yet though. But since its not a quest or anything I will just have to wait for the update I spose.Bye
Answer from: Miss Gemini
They only show up when you have a quest that requires you to speak to one of them now. It changed after the update, and now it is just like it was in Stardom The A List. They don't need to be in their office unless you need to speak to them, so it isn't a bug or a glitch.
Answer from: Jasilyn
The reason why is because in real life your publisist and agent won't always be in their offices unless they want to speak to you in their offices so the update is not a bug. It's just more realistic.

Massive Changes Heading To World Of Tanks In 2014
Wargaming.net today released a new Developer Diary that has the entire World of Tanks community drooling with anticipation for the year ahead. The game is already incredibly popular due to its competitive nature and easily accessible gameplay but that popularity is due to soar even further once the ideas highlighted in the video are introduced.
Arguably the most exciting elements highlighted in the video are the huge changes to the game graphics, animations and physics engine. The developers cover various elements including huge overhauls to tank models and effects, destructible environments that promise to deliver an entirely new approach to gameplay and dynamic mechanics surrounding individual weather types on certain maps.
There's no information on when these updates will come into play but with more Developer Diaries to come, we're expecting regular updates throughout the year.

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

I use 123-reg for all my domain registrations, I find their site very easy to use and with great functionality.
The best part is the support, I have often found with companies of this nature that good customer service is poor, however my experience of 123-reg is great. I used the CHAT support today for the first time, it was brilliant, I got my Query answered by a person in a few minutes, it was great.
Well recommended by me for all domain and hosting requirements.

OK, People, give this a chance here. Eye "capsules", as seen on the baby Wombat on the bottom photo, are cute.
Sure, this wombat could rip your heart out with his nails faster than you could say 'shrimp on the—" but his eye capsules are still cute.

I submit to you, thanks to a million billion Cute O readers, the True Story of a Remarkable Friendship. The story of Owen and Mzee, a baby hippo and turtle who befriended each other in Kenya. It's an uplifting story [music starting] of a tsunami that hit back in 2004, [wildlife sounds] where these two homeless ani-pals were moved to Hallard Park, an animal sanctuary in Kenya. [Macaws cawwing]
"Owen", aka "The Baby Hipster" was one of the animals who moved in. It was here he met "Mzee", a 130 year-old tortoise. [Three's Company Music] The two have been inseparable ever since! The hijiinx!
And now, there's even a book about it.
Hip hip….
Thanks, Melanie T. and the bajillions of others who sent the story in.

As of Wednesday, February 19, 2014
© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
After last week's storm you hear a lot of people giving thanks. For anyone who had troubles it is a very personal appreciation for the help they received, the push out of a ditch, the shoveling off of their drive way, the fixing of their power outage.
It works the other way as well, with people being grateful their power stayed on, appreciative for work that may have been called off or delayed, thankful that the trees surrounding their house saw fit to stay upright no matter how much the ice and wind tired to convince them otherwise.
In that spirit of thankfulness, the city of Duluth has declared next week Public Works and Police Appreciation Week. It's a chance to let the residents of Duluth thank the people who kept their city safe during the storm, a process that was emulated around the county last week.
Duluth has designated each day of next week for the occassion, asking locals to participate on the following: Cookie Day on Monday, Chip and Dip Day on Tuesday, Cake Day on Wednesday, Snack Day on Thursday and Thank You Card Day on Friday, which will also include an appreciation luncheon for the members of the public works team. It was a no-brainer of a decision, Duluth's mayor said.
"This staff spent three days working out of the facility, not going home, to provide 24-hour service to Duluth citizens," Nancy Harris said. "I have received many accolades and notes of appreciation about the city staff. We listened; our citizens want to show their appreciation by recognizing the efforts of public works and public safety."
Those wishing to participate can drop off items at the public works facility, located at 2450 Chattahoochee Drive, the public safety facility located at 3276 Buford Highway, or City Hall between the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. any day next week. The city asks that you RSVP items you would like to bring to Maggie Waddell by emailing her at email@example.com no later than Wednesday, Feb. 26.
It's a neat idea, and kudos to Duluth officials for thinking of it. Workers from all Gwinnett cities deserve our thanks, as do the many police and fire department employees and all others who worked diligently to ensure our safety and get us through the storm. They all deserve a slice of cake, a cookie or a thank you card echoing those sentiments, but a firm handshake or a verbal "thank you" would also suffice.
I think Duluth is on to something with its appreciation week. We need to find more ways to express thanks, and not just when disaster strikes. There is a lot to be thankful for, even on days when the forecast calls for clear roads and skies and the TV news folks aren't trying to convince us that the world is about to end.
The digital age has altered the way we communicate, with written correspondence seeming to be on its last legs. Few people send letters these days and notes of thanks aren't as prevelant. The most prominent thank you notes these days are likely the ones used during the running bit by new "The Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon, who uses the old school notes as a way for new age comedy — a voice over verbalizing what the comedian is writing on the card. (Sample: Thank you, pita bread, for being a great combination between wheat and envelopes.)
It's a funny bit, no doubt. But Jimmy writes more notes in those two-minute skits that most folks do in a lifetime. The humor is much appreciated, and maybe in his own way the comedian inspires some folks to mail off a note of their own.
In a world filled with sarcasm and irony, Duluth's appreciation week idea is a reminder that there's always a place for a heartfelt thank you, no matter what form it takes.
Email Todd Cline at firstname.lastname@example.com. His column appears on Wednesdays.

Reuters - Greece launched an international tender on Monday for a study to assess the feasibility of a proposed pipeline to transmit gas from Israel and Cyprus in an effort to reduce dependence on Russian supplies.
The Eastern Mediterranean Pipeline is designed to initially carry 8 billion cubic meters a year of Israeli and Cypriot gas.
It would stretch from Israel's Leviathan natural gas field to Greece and onto European markets through the IGI-Poseidon pipeline, led by Italian utility Edison and state-controlled Greek utility DEPA.
The European Commission has said Cypriot gas could play an important role in diversifying supplies but its development is complicated by the long-standing rift between Cyprus and Turkey. The pipeline would pass through disputed waters.
Greece's Energy Minister Yannis Maniatis said there was European interest in creating a new energy corridor, adding it could also reduce energy costs in the recession-hit country.
He said the project was "one more step towards turning Greece into the main gateway to Europe for gas from the Caspian Sea, the Middle East and the southeastern Mediterranean."
The most high-profile non-Russian gas project is one to ship Azeri natural gas from the Shah Deniz field, which has become a contest between the Nabucco West project into Austria, led by OMV and the Trans Adriatic Pipeline into Italy, led by Switzerland's AXPO and Statoil.

Well, that was a pretty short exile: A brief 27 days after Fox News reportedly benched Karl Rove (and Dick Morris) for their ill-fated Republican boosterism before and especially during the November election, the GOP strategist once known as "Bush's brain" was back on the air Monday night, talking about the fiscal cliff with Brett Baier on Special Report. He's scheduled to appear on Fox's The O'Reilly Factor on Wednesday. "Gentlemen, welcome back," Baier told Rove and Democratic strategist Joe Trippi at the start of the eight-minute segment.
I guess Fox didn't like having its dirty laundry aired, especially by the liberal media, says Marty Davis at Chickaboomer. My guess is that "Fox boss Roger Ailes allowed Rove on to stick it to [New York magazine's] Gabe Sherman," who got a lot of buzz for breaking the news of the ban. Another reason to believe that spite is behind Rove's rehabilitation: "Sherman is also writing an unauthorized book on Ailes."
Or maybe Fox just saw the error of putting Rove in the penalty box, says Paul Mirengoff at Power Line. Sure, "Rove didn't have a good election night," but he and Trippi "had an outstanding election season," dating all the way back to the primaries. And you'll notice who isn't back on the air? "Rove isn't exactly a 'no spin zone,' but he isn't Dick Morris either." Unlike Morris, and just about every other commentator on cable news, I always learn something from watching Rove do his thing.
It's worth noting that as much as Rove's hiatus was characterized as a "ban" by "gleeful liberal commentators," it was no such thing, says Ana Marie Cox at The Guardian. Fox producers just had to get permission to book Rove and Morris. In fact, even when he was off the air, Rove was "still a highly paid contributor" at Fox. "You know what we call doing less work for the same money around my house? A promotion."
Barring a new revelation from New York's Sherman, we may never learn why Rove is apparently back in Ailes' good graces, says Juli Weiner at Vanity Fair. Rove isn't saying: He talked at length — and disingenuously — about the fiscal cliff, but Rove didn't discuss "Fox News' alleged ban on Karl Rove." Besides, would "a Fox News ban really count as lifted if it's marked with an appearance on Special Report with Bret Baier?" I mean, "speaking of bans: Did the Fox News public-relations department prohibit efforts to promote Special Report"? Or, to frame it more philosophically, "if a boring, poorly marketed tree falls in the forest and no one is around to change the channel, did it make a sound?"

Google Using OCR To Index Scanned Documents
It used to be that, if you hoped Google would index a PDF file, you had to create a PDF that was text-based, not image-based; Googlebot couldn't recognize the content of scanned or image-based documents. According to an announcement today, that's no longer the case.
Google says it's now using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to read any scanned documents that it finds in PDF format:
This Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology lets us convert a picture (of a thousand words) into a thousand words — words that can be searched and indexed, so that these valuable documents are more easily found.
Google's announcement includes a few examples where you can see the results of OCR scanning in action. On a search for repairing aluminum wiring, the first result is a Consumer Product Safety Commission PDF that was clearly scanned as an image. You can now get the text of that image thanks to Google's OCR scanning and the "View as HTML" link on the search results page. As with any use of OCR, results are probably not going to be perfect.

Monsoons and an American soldier
Publication Date : 09-08-2012
From the many that are mass-distributed and forwarded via the Internet, one e-mail landed in my inbox which referred to the torrential rains that fell on much of western Luzon and the Visayas in the Philippines in the past few days as God's way of telling us that we are making a horrible mistake in pushing for the passage of the Reproductive Health bill.
This is bound to happen: people making preposterous connections between unrelated events in order to bolster their convictions. They will read moral judgements in Nature's ways, even if this means perpetuating a religion based on ignorance and fear, rather than on love, discernment, and hope.
One doesn't need to be a meteorologist to know that the monsoon rains have nothing to do with the debate on reproductive health. These cyclical winds come to our shores every year, thank God, to dissipate the summer heat and to irrigate our parched agricultural lands. No one is punishing anyone by these rains.
On the contrary, Nature seems kinder this time—if at all one must ascribe to it human traits. It has brought life-giving water without the severe storms that usually accompany these seasonal southwesterly winds. One can't help noticing that our weather people seem hard-pressed to find a name for this phenomenon, so used are they to assigning labels to typhoons, but not to windless continuous rain.
It is perhaps not an accident that the English word "monsoon" which was first used in British India to refer to the rainy phase of "a seasonal reversing wind", is taken from the vocabulary of the seafaring Portuguese (monçao) and early modern Dutch (monsun). For, this big seasonal wind originates from the oceans, carrying moisture, and blows toward warmer landmass, where it produces rain. Farmers in the Indian subcontinent are dependent on these monsoons which are known to account for about 80 per cent of the rainfall there.
The duration and intensity of these monsoons vary from year to year. Sometimes they come early, at other times they are late. Sometimes they bring large amounts of rain that seem never to end; at other times they become harbingers of drought. These variations can often spell the difference between famine and a good harvest, and between a beneficial precipitation that irrigates farms and a torrential rain that produces killer floods.
Just as there are people in the world who have never seen or felt snow, so are there people who have never experienced monsoon rains. By coincidence, while the current monsoons pounded our part of the country, I was reading a book based on the diary of an American soldier from Philadelphia who came to our islands in 1898, originally to fight the Spanish forces but later to suppress the Filipino war of independence. The book, titled "The Fighting Tenth", is authored by Dennis Edward Flake, and is published by the Centre for Kapampangan Studies of the Holy Angel University.
The cryptic entries in Private John Henry Asendorf's journal read like weather reports. The local monsoon rains alternating with the humid tropical heat bothered him and his fellow soldiers more than the war itself. The intractable climate assaulted them from the moment they disembarked from the Zealandia on July 22, 1898, until about early November of that year.
Private Asendorf woke up to a "lovely morning" on Sunday, July 24th, their first day on land, "but before dinner the rain began to pour down, and the natives tell us that it will rain steady this way for 5 or 6 weeks…" The following day, he notes: "It has rained all night and most of us had to lie in 2 to 3 inch of water all night. Many of our 'dog tents' blew down during the night, and so in the morning most of us went out to get bamboo to make some kind of a bed so we can keep dry. It rains constantly our Camp is at present more fit to bathe in than to sleep in it. It is a wonder we are not all sick."
Born in Germany, Asendorf had migrated with his family to the United States when he was 16. He could write, but his English wasn't that good yet. (Instead of marking his errors in spelling, punctuation, and grammar with [sic]s, I have taken the liberty of repairing the egregious ones to make the text more readable.)
His diary for Aug 27, 1898, his 35th birthday, begins with an acknowledgement of good weather. "Weather is pretty. We had a nice shower during the night which settled the dust nicely. This being my birthday, I had an invitation from my German friend to supper with him, which I indeed enjoyed. He also gave me one box of his best cigars."
After fighting two wars, the Tenth Pennsylvania Volunteers, to which Asendorf belonged, ended their tour of duty on July 1, 1899. It was a Saturday. "The weather is fine and everyone is in good spirits. At 1 p.m. we raised anchor and sailed 10 minutes later….As soon as we left the Bay, the sea got very rough and before supper time most of the boys were already sea sick of course."
It would have been impossible for even the best writer to produce a whole book from weather notes. Indeed, Asendorf's diary dealt with other things, but, as one reads it, one cannot help but marvel at the way this American soldier kept track of the local weather, almost as if it was the very representation of the Filipino native that America tried to alternately befriend and subdue.
Anyone can become fixated with the weather to the point of imagining it has motives of its own. "The most terrifying fact about the universe," says the filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, "is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent."

Serge Gainsbourg & Brigitte Bardot: Bonnie & ClydeRe-IssueVinyl LP Record
No Longer Available
(Get e-mailed if ever back in stock)
Product Details
SummaryFeaturing a couple of duets, some BRIGITTE BARDOT-sung, SERGE GAINSBOURG-penned numbers, and a number of Serge-only tunes, this is not, technically, a completely collaborative record. It is, however, one of Gainsbourg's finest releases featuring a wide range of styles from moody, funky French-pop ("Bonnie And Clyde"), to barroom piano jazz ("Bubble Gum"), to Afro-Caribbean rhythms ("Pauvre Lola" and "Baudelaire"), to the swinging '60s pop he was most known for at the time ("Docteur Jeckyll et Monsieur Hyde"). A classic from these two French heroes (originally released in 1968).
