An anonymous reader writes: After losing its Supreme Court case in June and briefly attempting to transform itself into a cable company, Aereo is now filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy. Their service worked by letting people stream over-the-air television to their internet-connected devices. The content industry pushed back, and though Aereo argued its way through several lower courts, they say, "The U.S. Supreme Court decision effectively changed the laws that had governed Aereo's technology, creating regulatory and legal uncertainty. And while our team has focused its energies on exploring every path forward available to us, without that clarity, the challenges have proven too difficult to overcome."

Jagungal (36053) writes The SMH reports that The University of NSW says it has issued 238 fines — estimated to total around $100,000 - to students illicitly downloading copyright infringing material such as movies and TV shows on its Wi-Fi network since 2008. The main issues are that the University is not returning any money to the copyright holders but is instead using the money raised for campus facilities and that it is essentially enforcing a commonwealth law.

angry tapir (1463043) writes Intel is shrinking PCs to thumb-sized "compute sticks" that will be out next year. The stick will plug into the back of a smart TV or monitor "and bring intelligence to that," said Kirk Skaugen, senior vice president and general manager of the PC Client Group at Intel, during the Intel investor conference in Santa Clara, California. They might be a bit late to the party, but since Skaugen mentioned both Chromecast and Amazon's Fire TV Stick, hopefully that means Intel has some more interesting and general-purpose plans.

Yesterday we ran video #1 of 2 about the Critical Materials Institute (CMI) at the Iowa State Ames Laboratory in Ames, Iowa. They have partners from other national laboratories, universities, and industry, too. Obviously there is more than enough information on this subject that Dr. King can easily fill two 15-minute videos, not to mention so many Google links that instead of trying to list all of them, we're giving you one link to Google using the search term "rare earths." Yes, we know Rare Earth would be a great name for a rock band. But the mineral rare earths are important in the manufacture of items ranging from strong magnets to touch screens and rechargeable batteries, so please watch the video(s) or at least read the transcript(s).

An anonymous reader writes Nielsen is going to start studying the streaming behavior of online viewers for the first time. Netflix has never released detailed viewership data, but Nielsen says they have developed a way for its rating meters to track shows by identifying their audio. From the article: "Soon Nielsen, the standard-bearer for TV ratings, may change that. The TV ratings company revealed to the Wall Street Journal that it's planning to begin tracking viewership of online video services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Instant Video in December by analyzing the audio of shows that are being streamed. The new ratings will come with a lot of caveats—they won't track mobile devices and won't take into account Netflix's large global reach—but they will provide a sense for the first time which Netflix shows are the most popular. And if the rest of the media world latches onto these new ratings as a standard, Netflix won't be able to ignore them."

CMI in this context is the Critical Materials Institute at the Iowa State Ames Laboratory in Ames, Iowa. They have partners from other national laboratories, universities, and industry, too. Rare earths, while not necessarily as rare as the word "rare" implies, are hard to mine, separate, and use. They are often found in parts per million quantities, so it takes supercomputers to suss out which deposits are worth going after. This is what Dr. King and his coworkers spend their time doing; finding concentrations of rare earths that can be mined and refined profitably.
On November 3 we asked you for questions to put to Dr. King. Timothy incorporated some of those questions into the conversation in this video -- and tomorrow's video too, since we broke this into two parts because, while the subject matter may be fascinating, we are supposed to hold video lengths down to around 10 minutes, and in this case we still ended up with two videos close to 15 minutes each. And this stuff is important enough that instead of lining up a list of links, we are giving you one link to Google using the search term "rare earths." Yes, we know Rare Earth would be a great name for a rock band. But the mineral rare earths are important in the manufacture of items from strong magnets to touch screens and rechargeable batteries.

This is not a practical bike. "Even on smooth pavement, your vision goes blurry because you're vibrating so hard," Collin said to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter back in 2012 when he was only 15 -- and already building wooden bicycles. Collin's wooden bikes are far from the first ones. Wikipedia says, "The first bicycles recorded, known variously as velocipedes, dandy horses, or hobby horses, were constructed from wood, starting in 1817." And not all wooden bicycles made today are as crude as Collin's. A Portland (OR) company called Renovo makes competition-quality hardwood bicycle frames -- for as little as $2200, and a bunch more for a complete bike with all its hardware fitted and ready to roll.
Of course, while it might be sensible to buy a Renovo product if you want a wood-framed bike to Race Across America, you won't improve your woodworking skills the way Collin's projects have improved his to the point where he's made a nice-looking pair of wood-framed sunglasses described in his WOOD YOU? SHOULD YOU? blog. (Alternate Video Link)

schwit1 writes Glen A. Larson, the wildly successful television writer-producer whose enviable track record includes 'Six Million Dollar Man', Quincy M.E., Magnum, P.I., Battlestar Galactica, Knight Rider and The Fall Guy, has died. He was 77. From the article: Battlestar Galactica lasted just one season on ABC from 1978-79, yet the show had an astronomical impact. Starring Lorne Greene and Richard Hatch as leaders of a homeless fleet wandering through space, featuring special effects supervised by Star Wars' John Dykstra and influenced by Larson's Mormon beliefs, Battlestar premiered as a top 10 show and finished the year in the top 25. But it was axed after 24 episodes because, Larson said, each episode cost "well over" $1 million.

theshowmecanuck (703852) writes A group calling itself the Russian Union of Engineers has published a photograph, picked up by many news organizations (just picked one, Google it yourself to find more), claiming to show that MH17 was shot down by a Ukrainian fighter plane. The interesting thing is the very quick ad hoc crowd sourced debunking of the photograph using tools from Google maps, online photos/data, to their own domain knowledge backed up with the previous information. It would be interesting to understand who the "Russian Union of Engineers" are and why they in particular were chosen to release this information.

HYREL 3-D had a display Timothy spotted at last month's Maker Faire Atlanta. They're not trying to hustle Kickstarter donors; they exceeded their $50,000 goal by over $100,000. Their main pitch was (and still is) that they are making high-reliability 3-D printers that can run many hours without breaking. Project spokesperson Daniel Hutchison says he and other people he knows who were making prototypes and short-run parts in the Atlanta area were continually disappointed by the poor reliability of available 3-D printers, which is why they decided to make their own. Open Source? Somewhat, partially, kind of... but they have a bunch of proprietary secret sauce in their software, too. Daniel goes into this in more detail in the video, so there's no need for us to repeat his words when you can hear them (or read them in the transcript) for yourself. (Alternate Video Link)

An anonymous reader writes with news that Aereo is shutting down its Boston office and laying off some NYC staff. "Aereo's bad year just got worse. The company said on Thursday that it will shut down its Boston office and lay off 43 employees, citing yet another adverse court ruling and its trouble obtaining additional investment. According to Virginia Lam, a VP at Aereo, the company is not shutting down entirely: 'In an effort to reduce costs, we made the difficult decision to lay off some of our staff in Boston and New York. We are continuing to conserve resources while we chart our path forward. We are grateful to our employees for their loyalty, hard work and dedication. This was a difficult, but necessary step in order to preserve the company. We decline to comment further,' Lam wrote in an email."

An anonymous reader writes Have you ever wished that you could watch a man be eaten alive by an anaconda from the comfort of your own home? The Discovery Channel is betting that the answer is yes with their upcoming special, Eaten Alive. The channel says wildlife filmmaker Paul Rosolie will don a custom-built snake-proof suit, and go inside a live anaconda. They've even released a teaser. It's unclear what scientific conundrum will be solved in the process of feeding Paul to the snake, or how he plans to get out.

Later, the channel staff got a mail containing a death threat by "FirstCrist, Copyright", containing: "thank you for your personal data. [...] take care your house gets police protection!"

The world is full of wireless servers -- or at least some of it is. There are still many places, including parts of the United States, where you can have all the laptops, smart phones, and other wireless-capable devices you want, but there's no server that caters to them. Enter LibraryBox. It's open source and it runs on a variety of low-cost, low-power hardware. The project's website calls it "portable private digital distribution."
A lot of people obviously like this project and wish it well. LibraryBox ran a Kickstarter campaign in 2013, hoping for $3000, and raised $33,119. But today's interviewee, Jason Griffey, can explain his project better than we can, so please watch the video (or read the transcript) if you want to learn more about LibraryBox -- including the story behind the project's name.

If you go to a sci-fi or gaming convention you'll see people in exotic "character" costumes, often holding exotic props, with some of the most popular being futuristic firearm mockups of one sort or another. Who makes all these cool fannish items? A whole bunch of artists and artisans, including Michelle Sleeper (who says she got tired of jokes about her name many years ago). She's not only one of these artisans, but is also a committed 3-D printer user, since 3-D printing is how she forms a high percentage of her props (with the word "props" being used here in the theatrical rather than the nautical sense). To keep up with what Michelle is making, you should check her blog. One of her most interesting posts, titled Atlanta Mini Maker Faire: On missing deadlines, failure, and triage, is about preparing for the event where Timothy Lord met and interviewed Michelle.
Even if gamer gatherings and SF conventions aren't your thing, the interview (along with the links above) gives a nice glimpse into the life of an independent artisan who uses technology to create a lot of her art. (Alternate Video Link)

dkatana writes: The ongoing deployment of internet-of-things devices is already creating serious issues and discussions about the privacy of users, IoT security, and the potential threat of cyber criminals taking control of sensors and smart devices connected to the Internet.
Security and privacy concerns associated with smart meters are why they are currently "optional" in several countries. That's the case in the Netherlands after consumer organizations and privacy watchdog groups campaigned vigorously to stop the mandatory smart meter deployment. A report from researchers at Tilburg University claimed that "smart meters have the capacity to reveal quite privacy-sensitive information, thus affecting not only informational privacy but also privacy of the home and of family life." This now applies to televisions as well — an article in Salon discusses the author's new "smart" TV, which came with a 46-page privacy policy. Quoting: "It logs where, when, how and for how long you use the TV. It sets tracking cookies and beacons designed to detect 'when you have viewed particular content or a particular email message.' It records 'the apps you use, the websites you visit, and how you interact with content.' It ignores 'do-not-track' requests as a considered matter of policy. It also has a built-in camera — with facial recognition."

lpress writes I tested CBS All Access video streaming. It has technical problems, which will be resolved, but I will still pass because they show commercials in addition to a $5.99 per month fee. Eventually, we will all cut the cord and have a choice of viewing modes — on-demand versus scheduled and with and without commercials — but don't expect your monthly bill to drop as long as our ISPs are monopolies or oligopolies.

A major military exercise has kicked off in Latvia. The Sabre Strike war games involve 4,700 troops and 800 military vehicles. Russia sees NATO's military build-up in the vicinity of its borders as a sign of hostility. Not a member of the alliance, Finland is among the participants in the unfriendly action. While the debate has been simmering in for some time, Finland is encouraged to seriously consider full-fledged NATO membership by influential political circles and segments of social elite. The situation in Ukraine is used as a pretext for putting the issue to the fore. NATO membership could come up for debate before the 2015 parliamentary elections. The ongoing discussions may have prominent international implications...

...On April 22, Sweden's centre-right government coalition announced plans to increase military spending, with an emphasis on more fighter jets and submarines if the four parties win the September elections. If the coalition were to remain in power, it would aim to increase the military budget by five billion kronor ($760 million) annually, starting in 2015. The government said that spending would rise gradually until 2024, when the annual defense budget increase would be around 5.5 billion kronor (€604 million, US $835 million) greatly exceeding previous estimates. It cited the crisis in Ukraine as a reason to justify the burden... There is also a movement among high government officials to re-examine the long-running issue of joining NATO... By joining NATO Sweden will become a target of potential retaliatory strike and subject to the US influence to even greater extent, which is strong enough as it is...

Three weeks ago Mikael Skillt worked for a construction company in Stockholm, Sweden. Today, he is a volunteer in a nationalist organization in Kiev. In an interview with Fria Tider, Skillt tells the story of a Ukraine where the role of the police has been assumed by paramilitary Right-wing groups.
On December 5 NATO foreign ministers discussed the agenda for the upcoming summit in fall 2014, with particular focus on the development of NATO's partnerships with non-allied countries. ... Sweden has come out with a proposal to build a joint Nordic Battalion Force (NBF) to make it part of the agenda for Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark. The force advocated by Sweden would operate as a separate force to the European Union's Swedish-led Nordic Battle Group (NBG), made up of troops and equipment from Finland, Norway, Ireland, Estonia and Latvia. Unlike the NBF, which would be Nordic-specific, the larger NBG is assigned to the EU's standby international mission forces. But taking into consideration the fact that the major EU parties are also NATO members, it easy to guess the both formations will inevitably add to NATO's capabilities too…

Leading Sweden and Finland into the embrace of NATO will make the nations targets of potential retaliatory strike while compelling them to participate in unwanted wars. As one can see the policy is implemented against the will of common people who find good neighborly relations with everyone and sticking to traditional neutrality as the course that serves them best. They also realize Russia will not stand idle looking at further NATO expansion…

For the first time in history, the 2012 Noble Prize in literature was awarded to a Chinese author - Mo Yan, a novelist top-read in his home country and enjoying considerable acclaim in the West... Berlin seemed to make an effort to balance the choice made in Sweden when the prestigious Peace Prize of the German Book Trade was handed to Liao Yiwu, a Chinese dissenter now living in Germany. The invectives Liao Yiwu directs against China exceed the boldest expectations of the country's critics: speaking at the award ceremony, attended by the German political elite including President Joachim Gauck, he got a round of rapturous applause for stating nothing less than that «the empire must break apart»...

...In ten years, the number of American laboratories engaged in developing ways to protect against bioterrorism, according to the official version, has grown from 20 to 400. Secret biological centres have appeared in Africa and Latin and America, biological laboratories of unknown function have opened in Ukraine and Georgia, and it is also planned to open a biological centre in Kazakhstan in 2015. The majority of these activities are being supervised by the Pentagon... In Ukraine in 2013 alone, biolaboratories were opened in Vinnytsia, Ternopil, Uzhhorod, Kiev, Dnepropetrovsk, Simferopol, Kherson, Lviv (three laboratories at once in this town!) and Lugansk with the support of the US. Today, the Pentagon's biolaboratories are gathered around Russia in a semicircle...

PepsiCo's Mountain Dew brand signed a one-year deal to become the Official Soft Drink of the Southern Conference Men's and Women's Basketball Tournaments in SC this week. Under the deal, Mountain Dew receives soft drink category exclusivity for marketing and promotional rights at the Bi- Lo Center, the site of the men's event, and at Furman Univ.'s Timmons Arena, the site of the first two rounds of the women's tournament. Mountain Dew also gets logo placement on the floors of both arenas, on team benches and at the scorer's table. Host Communications represents the Southern Conference (Southern Conference). Host GM of the Southern Conference account Marvin Julich told the SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL's Jennifer Lee that although the "timing" of the deal was "somewhat last minute," Mountain Dew will have "adequate time to run" its promos around the partnership. Julich said that "there are options to expand the length of the deal and to expand" to the conference's other championships. He added that "currently the deal is approaching six figures, but an exact number was unavailable," as Host and PepsiCo are "still in discussions" (SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL, 2/28 issue). COLLEGE DEALS: HomePoint Corp., an e-business consultant to the home furnishings industry, inked a two- year deal to become a member of the "SEC Corporate Partnership Program." HomePoint receives print, radio and TV ads, as well as merchandising packages for select SEC sporting events, including the conference's men's and women's basketball tournaments and football championship (SEC)....The Univ. of AR "sent proposals for a five-year contract" to "about" eight companies for rights to be the exclusive telecom sponsor of the school's athletic teams, but "only" Alltel and Southwestern Bell (SB) -- both currently partners of the school -- responded. If SB lands the deal, Alltel's logo "would come off the scoreboards" at the school's athletic facilities (A-D GAZETTE, 2/28).

So today I got on the scale to get back to my Sunday Weigh-In Days. And I was SO thrilled. I am back to where I was a year ago! I lost all my Brad-Is-Working-Seven-Days-A-Week-So-Who-Gives-A-Rip-What-I-Look-Like Weight! This is wonderful. I went shopping today - I had to exchange a TOO BIG skirt (hooray!) and I picked up a few more spring goodies. I found a skirt made out of recycled material - who knew! I also had to get some new SMALLER bras - I went down a band size (Hooray!!!) so I needed to get a new boost. What a wonderful day. I can tell I'm feeling good - I *wanted* to go shopping. And not for stretchy stuff that would cover me up. I found lots of cute fitted stuff for the season!
Good things:
- I woke up early and did a tough circuit. Holy moly!
- Walked around the loop with my honey
- Had a delicious pizza for lunch
- Declined a second crepe for dessert. I'm going to stick with yogurt and strawberries.
Tomorrow's plan:
- morning swim
- do some laundry
- enjoy an evening with honey (he goes back to work on Tuesday, so I have to enjoy the time!)
Off to pack my lunch!
Today was a really wonderful day. I slept in a little bit (if 7:15 is sleeping in), Brad and I met with our realtor today to answer some questions, and I got in a really good run! I did three miles with some killer hills. I'm feeling good! My legs are happy, my body is happy... hooray!
Not much to say tonight... getting ready for Pittsburgh... I can't wait!
It's weigh-in day. And today, I weighed just the same as I did last week. My initial response was to be upset, but then I remembered what kind of week I had - fried chicken before a meeting, a weekend full of going out to eat, and more rest days than usual (I'm taking another one today). So then my thought turned a little more positive - "if I wanted to stay right where I am, this week is how I can eat and work out." It's *not* where I want to stay, but it kind of opened my eyes. I had been getting lazy with tracking over the last year, which is why I wasn't losing any more weight. I stayed right where I was because I was eating like this past week all year. Tracking is a wonderful thing.
So anyway, I get to think about improving my nutrition for this week and scheduling workouts. I felt a little tickle in my throat this morning - our bodies are really smart. Last night I just KNEW that today was going to be a rest day. It was one of those times where I couldn't talk myself out of taking a rest day... and I'm glad I took today to sleep in. I think tonight is going to be a super lazy night.
Good things!
- I ate HALF a bag (the indiv. size) of M&Ms for a snack yesterday. I was craving some chocolate, and I got a little bag of peanut M&Ms. The math teacher next door looked at me and asked "WHERE ARE YOUR CARROTS???" She convinced me to bring baby carrots into school to snack on, but they just weren't going to cut it. She said "is it worth the calories to eat the whole thing?" So I thought about it, and no, it wasn't. But half the bag? Yep. So I have a little chocolate treat for today too!
- I had a great night with Girls on the Run. Last night was my first night volunteering. I got to see some of my girls from the last two years, and it was a very positive experience. I can't wait to go back!
- Brad got a job!!!! He starts on Tuesday and I am THRILLED!!!!
- I have to return a skirt because it doesn't fit. IT'S TOO BIG!!!!!! I am dancing the happy dance of joy thinking about it.
- Today is jeans day at work. Perfect.
I just looked at my ticker and saw that there are only 19 days left until JASR!!!! I am SOOOOO excited. Seeing all my Spark Friends in Pittsburgh is going to be amazing. I just am ready to burst I can't wait!!!
Went to the Philly Flower Show with my mom on Sunday. It was AMAZING. It made me almost want to improve my black thumb and grow some plants. I think I'll leave it up to the pros and I'll just stand back and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Eating was HORRIBLE over the weekend. Okay, maybe not *horrible*, but it certainly wasn't what I'm used to eating. We went out to eat for every meal and when Sunday evening rolled around, my tum was very unhappy. I need to clean it out and get some good fruits and veggies in there!
Today's goodness:
- drank lots of water
- had a super circuit at the gym this morning
- wore a fun new red coat! (mum and I went spring shopping on Saturday... found some super cute things!)
- ate healthy food and now I feel great
early to bed tonight... this time change is knocking me for a loop!
I'm feeling good. There's nothing like leaving the gym and thinking "Shoot, that was hard." I was red as a beet when I left!
During my circuit today I challenged myself. I did full military push-ups for that part of my circuit - holy MOLY is my upper body tired. I think I'll give my upper body a few days of rest before I work it like that again.
SOOOOO glad it's Friday.
- lots of water
- keep away from the cookies on the faculty room table. One of the girls at school had a really good suggestion for me. She told me that she keeps a bag of baby carrots at her desk because she needs the crunch. Like me with cookies! I KNOW I'm not hungry, I just feel like I need the crunch. And gum just doesn't cut it. So baby carrots it is!
- Get ready for this weekend. Tomorrow my mom and I are going spring shopping (yahoo!!!) and on Sunday we're heading down to the Philly Flower Show. Can't wait! I need to get my stuff ready tonight - I'm leaving kinda early tomorrow.
Happy Friday!

DRM Change Continues To Cause Debate
Published on 29 November 2009 03:03 PM EST
Written by

Linux Kernel
9 Comments
Kristian Høgsberg
on the 6th of November had
wrote a message
on the DRI development list regarding the libdrm repository. With so much of the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) work going straight into the Linux kernel -- thanks in large part to all of the work on memory management and kernel mode-setting -- Kristian proposed that the DRM driver code be removed from the separate DRM Git tree. With this message, Kristian created
a new DRM repository
that dropped all of the linux-core, bsd-core, and shared-core code. Seems simple and straightforward, right? Well, three weeks later with dozens of replies, this change is continuing to cause debate.
After some initial confusion was cleared up, some active DRM developers (such as Jerome Glisse) were in support of this change while others (such as Eric Anholt) thought it would do more harm than good with creating a larger burden on the developers and users wishing to test out this code. Some developers viewed this as a way to get greater testing of it living in the kernel tree that it would get better test coverage with each kernel release candidate and avoiding copying files, while others feared this would force users to upgrade their kernel to obtain simple DRM fixes.
These concerns led Kristian to
revise his proposal
to pull the latest DRM driver bits from a Linux kernel repository automatically into his libdrm Git repository. Kristian described this work as "[not] an attempt to change how we work, it was merely a re-organisation of the drm.git repo to better reflect and support the de facto workflow." But still, some developers objected.
A week ago, another can of works got opened when
one user
became disgruntled that the bsd-core code was removed from the tree. While the BSD driver bits were dropped from the tree, so were the Linux bits, but the BSD code was rarely worked on and not even used by the BSD maintainers. As can be seen from
this DRM log
, the last time the bsd-core was touched inside Mesa/DRM was in March and before that was only worked on every few months almost entirely by a lone FreeBSD developer, Robert Noland. Robert though wasn't even the one complaining about this code location change.
Robert Noland ended up
to say "the code there is useless and only provided minor historical value." This though didn't settle things and led Vehemens to dispute the number of actual *BSD developers working on the DRM code, code not being shared, and other issues.
though is a message that describes the FreeBSD DRM situation at least, by Robert himself, but really is just becoming into a public fight between two developers that both actually have the same goal of bettering the *BSD DRM code.
As of
, this mailing list thread remains very active. The changes though already went into effect and the linux/bsd/share-code folders were removed more than a week ago (
) that reduced the number of lines of code by more than 130,000. Of course, this code remains available, but just not in the master DRM git tree. The linux-core code wasn't worked on in that location in months and the bsd-core code wasn't in even more months.
The DRM BSD code is continuing to be worked on, albeit in a different location and doesn't receive as much love as the Linux DRM. OpenSolaris or FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD have yet to support the Graphics Execution Manager or TTM for kernel memory management, let alone kernel mode-setting or other recent DRM changes.

UEFA spin-off to benefit education
DEVELOPMENT| Sept. 13, 2012, 1:06 p.m.
Global payment services firm Western Union and the Western Union Foundation have announced they will turn every successful pass in this season's UEFA Europa League Season 2012/13 into funding to support one day's education for young people around the world.
Called PASS, the initiative will be fronted by former international football star Patrick Vieira and start during the Group Stage of the UEFA Europa League Season 2012/13, which kicks off on September 20 across Europe. The initiative aims to reach one million school days over the next three seasons and builds on the work the company has already done to support education globally.
"Moving money for better is at the heart of what we do, and education is one of the main reasons our customers send money" said Hikmet Ersek, Western Union President and CEO. "According to UNESCO (1), 71 million bright, hardworking students globally are not enrolled in secondary or vocational education. It's a tremendous loss of economic and human potential, since each extra year of school can increase an individual's potential economic opportunity. Through PASS, we intend to harness the power of football to build awareness of this challenge as well as deliver on-the-ground support that will make a difference to young people and their communities."
The initiative will provide teacher training and student scholarships through nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations with an initial focus on eleven countries – Brazil, China, Colombia, Jamaica, Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal, Romania, Russia and Turkey.
"Where I come from, opportunities for a quality education are rare," explained Vieira the former AS Cannes, AC Milan, Arsenal FC, Juventus, FC Internazionale Milano, Manchester City FC and French international player, who was born in Senegal before moving to France at the age of eight and is currently football development executive at Manchester City FC.
"Football was my ticket to success, but for the vast majority of young people education is the key that allows them to become whatever they want to be. That's why I'm supporting this campaign. It will benefit students, teachers and schools across the world, particularly in places that need it most, like Senegal where I was born," said Vieira.
Through the UEFA Europa League's global audience, football fans from Africa, the Americas, Asia as well as Europe, will also be given the chance to add to the fund during the season through a range of online and social media mechanics.
David Taylor, CEO of UEFA Events S.A., commented: "As well as being broadcast to fans in over 200 countries, European football is the aspiration for many players around the world and last season players representing 113 different countries were involved in the UEFA Europa League. Through Western Union's PASS initiative, some of those players will be able to give something back to their hometown communities beyond simply the excitement and entertainment they create on the pitch."
The PASS initiative will convert each successful pass completed during each match played from the Group Stage to the final of the 2012/2013 UEFA Europa League into funds to cover one full day of school for one student, to be allocated and distributed based on the educational needs and costs of each identified market. This initiative will run for the three years of Western Union's sponsorship of the UEFA Europa League until 2015.
To support PASS, Western Union will also be carrying out a comprehensive marketing and communications programme that will seek to involve its customers and UEFA Europa League fans from around the world.

when I laugh or cough some urine drops will leak, my prostate is removed, I always use napkins to avoid this difficulty>>>
Which is better, tofranil or anafranil in regard to urine dropping?

Tofranil probably works in several ways to help with bedwetting. One of the side effects of tricyclic antidepressants is relaxation of the bladder muscles (which keeps the bladder from contracting forcefully).
Tofranil seems better than Anafranil as this med is commonly prescribed for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in adults, teens, and children.
However, please do consult a medical professional for more accurate advice, take care.
Best wishes!
no- anafranil is the one prescribed for ocd.
actually my psych said all tricyclics r for ocd . just anafranil is the one most known 4 it.

Erwin and Rebecca Lutzer on "Jesus, Lover of a Woman's Soul" - Ministry Videos
Embed tyndalehouse 2496 views 2010-10-01T23:46:45 For centuries, Christian women have struggled to find their place in the church--and before God. Deep down inside, a woman may ask herself, Does God really care about me? Does he value me as much as he does men? The answers lie with Jesus himself--in his words and in his real relationships with women during his life. In Jesus, Lover of a Woman's Soul, Erwin and Rebecca Lutzer reveal the truth about Jesus and women. He defied tradition and affirmed women as equal partners in the family of God. Inside you'll find true stories about real biblical women who experienced a divine encounter with Jesus. His gifts of hope, healing, forgiveness, and deliverance are still available to women today. Jesus changed everything for women. Look inside to find out why, how--and what it means for you.

Relocation Travel:
Numbers and Costs Reported by Federal Organizations for Fiscal Years 1991 Through 1995
GGD-97-119: Published: Jun 30, 1997. Publicly Released: Jun 30, 1997.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4232
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the number of civilian employees relocated during fiscal years (FY) 1991 and 1995 and the associated costs of these relocations, focusing on: (1) the total number of civilian employees who were relocated at the federal government's expense; (2) the total cost of these relocations to the government; (3) the agencies that had rotational policies requiring their civilian employees to relocate; and (4) trends for the number and cost of civilian employee relocations during this period.
GAO noted that, for FY 1991 through 1995: (1) 97 federal organizations reported authorizing about 132,800 relocations, and 23 other organizations reported making about 40,200 relocations; (2) a small number of organizations accounted for the bulk of the relocations authorized or made; (3) while the total numbers of relocations authorized and made fluctuated yearly across the organizations that provided data for all 5 fiscal years, there was moderate change in these totals between FY 1991 and 1995; (4) across the organizations that provided data for all 5 fiscal years, the total number of relocations authorized decreased by less than 1 percent (89 organizations) and the total number of relocations made increased by about 12.5 percent (19 organizations) from FY 1991 to 1995; (5) 97 federal organizations reported obligating about $3.4 billion for relocations, and 23 other organizations reported expending about $363 million for relocations; (6) a small number of organizations accounted for the bulk of the relocation obligations or expenditures; (7) across the organizations that provided data for all 5 fiscal years, total relocation obligations varied and total relocation expenditures increased yearly; (8) there was noticeable change in these totals between FY 1991 and 1995; (9) in constant 1995 dollars, total relocation obligations increased about 16 percent (83 organizations) and total relocation expenditures increased about 88 percent (22 organizations) from FY 1991 to 1995; (10) for the 22 organizations, this increase was due to the Department of the Navy's expenditures; (11) excluding the Navy's expenditures, the 21 remaining organizations' total expenditures decreased by less than 1 percent during the period; (12) 15 federal organizations reported that they had mandatory rotational policies requiring some of their employees to rotate on a prescribed schedule; (13) most of these organizations attributed their policies to federal regulations that limit overseas tours of duty; and (14) based on data provided by these 15 organizations, GAO estimated that these rotational policies accounted for about 19 percent of the total relocations reported as authorized and about 7 percent of the total relocations reported as made during this period.

Recipe by Barilla
"This colorful orzo pasta salad with fresh mozzarella cheese is ready to serve in less than 30 minutes."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (16 ounce) box
Barilla® Orzo
8 tablespoons
olive oil
1 clove
1/2 cup
pine nuts, toasted and divided
1 small bunch
fresh basil
1/2 cup
grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 (8 ounce) balls
fresh mozzarella cheese, diced
1 pint
yellow cherry tomatoes, halved
This was a great use of the abundance of basil I have growing in the garden. I made two small changes to this recipe. I used red cherry tomatoes because I couldn't find any yellow, which in the scheme of things makes the slightest bit of difference. In addition, I used toasted walnuts instead of pine nuts – just a personal preference. This makes a wonderful pasta salad for a hot summer's day.
Loved this salad but did customize it after burning the only pine nuts I had.. Worked out well using almonds. I also doubled the garlic and added light golden vinegar to taste. The vinegar really made it great. Did not have orzo so used funghetti and they were great. Will definitely make again.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
New top cop's weapon: prayer
City councillors react with caution to ex-chaplain's comments
Devon Clunis used an interview with a Winnipeg-based Christian newsmagazine to tell Winnipeggers he isn't going to be your typical chief of police.
It was no secret Clunis had been a chaplain with the Winnipeg Police Service for 14 years, but he made national headlines with his comments about harnessing the power of prayer to fight violent crime in the city.
"What would happen if we all just truly -- I'm talking about all religious stripes here -- started praying for the peace of this city and then actually started putting some action behind that?" Clunis is quoted in an Oct. 11 story in ChristianWeek. "I believe something phenomenal is going to happen in our city."
Clunis opened up even further, saying he believes God had a role in his climb up the ranks of the police service over the past 25 years. Clunis told the magazine while he didn't ask God to make him police chief, he did pray to become a successful leader who treats people with dignity and respect.
"God still cares, He's still involved in our lives," Clunis is quoted as saying. "And I believe without a shadow of a doubt, the only reason that I am in this position is because God is involved in it. Without a shadow of a doubt."
Clunis was announced as the city's next police chief at a news conference Oct. 4. He declined then to say how he was going to distinguish himself from his predecessor, Keith McCaskill, but few would have guessed Clunis's faith would soon be featured in such a public fashion.
Clunis would not return calls from the Free Press about his comments.
The news story drew reaction from critics and supporters, ranging from those who questioned his ability to keep the top-cop job, to those who said his faith was irrelevant to his duties.
City councillors Mike Pagtakhan (Point Douglas) and Harvey Smith (Daniel McIntyre), who represent some of Winnipeg's more crime-affected neighbourhoods, said they're prepared to give Clunis the benefit of the doubt.
"He's obviously a spiritual guy. Prayer can bring people together. I'm taking (his comments) with the symbolism behind it," Pagtakhan said.
But Mynarski Coun. Ross Eadie, who also represents crime-affected neighbourhoods, said it's clear Clunis faces a steep learning curve when it comes to public relations. Eadie nonetheless described Clunis as a capable officer and said he understood what he was trying to say, even if the point about prayer was made clumsily.
"From a Winnipeg Police Service perspective, this is not a solution. However, as I always say to religious organizations in my ward, if praying and getting involved in the church is a way out of addictions, I'm all for that."
Community leaders who supported Clunis's appointment as chief at the beginning of the month continue to stand behind him.
Shahina Siddiqui, president and executive director of the Islamic Social Services Association Inc. -- Canada, said she believes Clunis was trying to reach out to the city's faith-based groups and non-believers alike.
"Prayer, for people of faith, literally means you are seeking guidance," Siddiqui said, adding she believes Clunis wants everyone in the city to come together to consider how best to deal with crime.
"He's not asking every police officer to make a prayer before going out onto the street. He's saying to the community, 'Let's come together.' "
North Point Douglas activist Sel Burrows said Clunis should not be dismissed because of his comments, adding many faith-based organizations have been successful in overcoming inner-city problems.
Trevor Berg, pastor at the Grace Point Church in North Point Douglas, said most Canadians would find it unusual for a senior civic official to disclose his faith in such a public fashion, but added he agrees with Clunis. "Even if you're not religious, if you think about peaceful things and you put action behind your peaceful thoughts, of course it will make a difference in this city," Berg said.
Phil Sheegl, who led the committee in charge of hiring Winnipeg's new police chief, said in a statement he stands by the city's choice but will not comment on Clunis's comments.
City council protection chairwoman Paula Havixbeck (Charleswood-Tuxedo), who quit the hiring committee over differences with Sheegl, said she is less concerned about Clunis's comments about prayer than how well he keeps the city safe and reduces crime.
"He has a sense of spirituality and a certain focus and that's fine, but that's not how he will be judged," she said.
All that matters is whether Clunis collars criminals -- not whether he wears a collar, added St. James-Brooklands Coun. Scott Fielding.
Winnipeg Centre MP Pat Martin expressed concern about the idea of prayer as a crime-fighting tool.
"You have to welcome a more enlightened approach to criminal-justice issues, but if anyone thinks the power of prayer alone is going to make our streets safer, they're deluded," Martin said via telephone from Ottawa. "Our crime rates are more a function of chronic, long-term poverty than they are a paucity of faith and religion."

EXCERPTS from the ChristianWeek story, New police chief: prayer will play a role in reducing violent crime
-- "I'm a little tired of us... being '(the) murder capital of Canada,' " says Devon Clunis, who was appointed chief of police at the beginning of October. "People consistently say, 'How are you going to solve that?' It's not simply going to be because we're going to go out there and police it away. I truly believe that prayer will be a significant piece of that.
"What would happen if we all just truly -- I'm talking about all religious stripes here -- started praying for the peace of this city and then actually started putting some action behind that?" he adds. "I believe something phenomenal is going to happen in our city. I truly believe it's coming. I don't think I've arrived at this position just by chance."
-- Clunis attributes his success to God. He says he has never asked God to make him a powerful person, but rather he has prayed that God make him a leader who treats people with dignity and respect and who is successful in his endeavours.
-- Clunis says at the end of the day, he just wants to give of himself to help the community.
-- "God still cares, He's still involved in our lives," Clunis says, "and I believe without a shadow of a doubt the only reason that I am in this position is because God is involved in it. Without a shadow of a doubt."

January, a slow time in domestic soccer? Not much
Dec 24, 2012, 9:30 AM EST
The "off-season" in professional soccer in our country is a different animal anyway; so much attention here is focused on Europe, Mexico and South America that there's plenty going on, never mind the brief domestic break.
But even here, the first six weeks of 2013 has plenty going on. Here are the highlights (and feel free to "clip and save"):
- Major League Soccer's annual combine in Florida takes place Jan. 11-15.
- Jurgen Klinsmann's national team gets into its early training camp on Jan. 14. The camp, mostly for MLS men and players on break in the Scandinavian leagues, goes through Jan. 31.
- Major League Soccer's draft, held annually in conjunction with the NSCAA convention in Indianapolis, takes place on Jan. 17.
- The MLS supplemental draft is Jan. 22. Somewhere around that time, most MLS teams will begin their training camps (about two weeks earlier than usual due to the league's earliest first kick date).
- Canada meets Denmark in a friendly in Tucson on Jan. 26. Mexico meets Denmark in nearby Glendale on Jan. 30.
- A growing slate of MLS pre-season tournament begins Jan. 29 with the Desert Friendlies in Tucson, featuring six MLS teams. (For a state with no MLS presence, Arizona sure has a lot to say about pro soccer in winter. Well done, Ariz.!)
- Also on Jan. 29, Klinsmann's national team camp concludes with a friendly in Houston against Canada. A few days later, the team gathers in Miami to train for a day or so before …
- … A Feb. 6 date in Honduras to open final round World Cup qualifying.
- The U.S. women's team begins its 2013 schedule with a friendly against Scotland in Jacksonville on Feb. 9.

Spectacular hotel - you will not be disappointedPosted Jan 8, 2011
This hotel is 5 star quality. We booked one of the junior suites and it was fantastic. The location is right in the middle of St Wolfgang near to the village amenities. It is right on the lake and the views are amazing. Everything about the hotel was excellent - the room, the food and the service. For the price is was very good value for money. I would highly recommend it. Treat yourself to a suite for the small extra it costs - you will love it. Jacuzzi bath, walk in shower (ours had a window overlooking the lake), ipod, dvd player and loads of dvds to borrow, lovely seating area, trendy decor and a balcony. The hotel allows smoking in the bar and there is also a cigar lounge. What more can I say - first class!!

Great location. Perfect view.Posted Dec 12, 2010 on Hotels.com
The Cortisen m see hotel is well placed in the middle of the city Close to the town walking street and very close to the lake. Me and my wife have been in Austria in the time just before charismas in the middle of the week and the hotel was not full so Roland , probably the hotel manger ( Great Guy ! ) had upgraded our room to one of the hotel suite's. It was a huge room with great Jacuzzi and a shower with a window to the lake , terrace watching the magnificent lake of Wolfgang, in room surround system with IPod full of songs and albums. The gym was very professional, full of equipments, TV and all the accessories that is needed. All of the hotel staff was extremely helpful and kind. We enjoyed our stay in the hotel very much.

great hotel in a beautiful areaPosted Jul 21, 2010
This hotel is located directly on the lake with their own private dock on Wolfgangsee lake. They have rooms with large balconees facing the lake as well as less expensive rooms facing the mountain in the back ground. The personel are very friendly and they have a great kitchen that only serves hotel guests and requires reservations a few hours in advance.
