Modern communication methods are quickly moving away from the traditional phone networks and favoring network based strategies that allow communication via the Internet. If you do some research into different solutions available you will generally hear about two major options: VoIP and Unified Communications.
What is VoIP?VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, is a modern communication method that enables voice communication over a business's network connection. With many VoIP solutions you are able to use the same phones you do on traditional networks. You just need a small adapter that turns your voice into a digital signature that travels on top of data on your network.
VoIP is common these days because many businesses have high bandwidth Internet connections that can support it, and many solutions offer considerable cost savings compared to traditional phone lines.
What is Unified Communications?The other main modern communication solution many business owners come across is Unified Communications (UC). This is a group of modern real-time and non-real-time communication services that provide businesses with a consistent user-interface and experience across multiple devices and platforms.
Many UC solutions include:
- Internet telephony (VoIP)
- Instant messaging
- Video conferencing
- Screen sharing
- Call control
- Speech recognition
- Voicemail
One of the best examples of UC in use is the idea of a customer calling to ask a question about one of your products. They unfortunately call after business hours and decide to leave a voicemail message. After they hang up, software that powers the phone system translates the message into digital form and emails it to your marketing team. Your marketing manager receives the message, in email form, on their mobile device and is then able to call the client back.
This scenario likely happens using three different systems - voicemail, email, and VoIP - and three different programs. The thing is, these programs are all 'unified', so they work as one unit.
What's the difference between the two?The biggest difference between the two communication concepts is the scope. Many VoIP solutions focus just on Internet-based calling, while UC focuses on company-wide communication. More times than not, the voice part of UC is powered by a VoIP platform.
That being said, many VoIP solutions offer some form of UC features like voicemail, instant messaging, and video calls.
Which option is best for my business?This is a question businesses often ask us, and the answer is that it really depends on your company and your current situation. If you already have a traditional phone system in place in your office, and are looking just to cut your phone bills then a VoIP solution may be the best solution.
One of the biggest downsides of a UC solution is that it can require a fairly large investment; certainly larger than VoIP. If your business is operating on narrow margins you probably won't be able to implement a full UC solution all at once, instead having to implement it in steps.
Our best recommendation is that before you consider either, give us a call to learn more our solutions and how we can help your business get the right type of communication that will work for your business and budget.

A friend sends me this "Notice" one of Our Rulers' "CONTRACTORS CLEARED UNDER THE NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL SECURITY PROGRAM" circulated to employees regarding "INADVERTANT EXPOSURE TO POTENTIALLY CLASSIFED INFORMATION IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN." Inadvertant, mind you. If you work in the "industrial" part of the military-industrial complex and happen upon another of Our Rulers' secrets courtesy of the heroic Assange or Snowden, you must pretend you didn't until Simon says you may:
Contractors shall not, while accessing the web on Contractor's unclassified systems, access or download documents that are known or suspected to contain classified information. Classified information, whether or not already posted on public websites, disclosed to the media, or otherwise in the public domain remains classified and must be treated as such until such time it is declassified by an appropriate U.S. government authority. It is the responsibility of every Contractor to protect classified information and to follow established procedures for accessing classified information only through authorized means.
Contractors who inadvertently discover potentially classified information in the public domain shall report its existence immediately to their Facility Security Officers (FSO).

Installation problem
Hi to all,
I'm trying to install ispconfig in a Suse BOX, but when the installation is ending I have the next problem:
Connected successfully to MySQL server
ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'db_ispconfig'
ls: /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/*.conf: No existe el fichero o el directorio
ls: /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/*.conf: No existe el fichero o el directorio
Restarting some services...
which: no apachectl in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/root/bin:/usr/local/bin
It seems that cannot connect to mysql server but when installation test the mysql server all works fine.
And it seems there is an apache problem also.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks to all
Do you have any special chars in your mysql password and do you used the mySQL root user or another user that has the permissions to create databases?
Tu run the installer again, delete the directorys:
and the install_ispconfig directory before you try to install again. Dont forget to unpack the installer tar.gz file again.
installation question
there are several that state that....also I got the

Congratulations! Your ISPConfig system is now installed. If you had to install quota, please take the steps described in the installation manual. Otherwise your system is now available without reboot.
I cannot access my ISPConfig system.
ispconfig problem
I also never came to the section where is asks for this:
Afterwards the following information has to be provided:
Please enter your MySQL server: E.G. localhost
Please enter your MySQL user: E.G. root
Please enter your MySQL password: Your MySQL password
Please enter a name for the ISPConfig database: E.g. ispconfigdb
Please enter the IP address of the ISPConfig web: E.g. 192.168.0.1
Please enter the host name: E.g. www
Please enter the domain: E.g. xyz.de
Please select the protocol (http or https (SSL encryption)) to use to access the ISPConfig system: If you want to use your control panel with SSL, select 1. You can then access it under https://www.xyz.de:81. If you want to access it under http://www.xyz.de:81, choose 2.
What did I do wrong? What should I do now?
I guess you tried to install ISPConfig several times, without deleting the original install_ispconfig directory first. If your first installation fails, then delete the directory install_ispconfig, unpack the tar.gz file again. go to the new install_ispconfig directory and start the installation again. In your case I'd suggest that you also delete /root/ispconfig and /home/ispconfig before.
BTW, there are 3 or 4 threads that deal with this problem... There's also a note in the installation instructions on http://www.ispconfig.org/manual_installation.htm: :rolleyes:
we are all trying to help you with the installation of ISPConfig and i know it's not easy to learn linux if you came from the windows world, but asking questions here can not be an replacement for reading the installation manual. Falko has posted the link above, i will post it here again for you:
There you will find this text:
Thank you
we have everything installed....the last issue is: when we try to access the information under the management tab and system configurations or anything further down the page we get page cannot be displayed errors....when we open the link in another window, our domain name appears and we get the page cannot be displayed but when we change the url to show the ip address of the server, it works. how do we change the information so that this works correctly?....i've read the manual and cannot find the answer to this question anywher.

Candace Bushnell created Carrie Bradshaw, and Sarah Jessica Parker turned her into a cultural phenomenon. As the author of Sex and the City (the book) and the star of Sex and the City (the show), respectively, both women feel some ownership over the iconic character. Unfortunately, they seem to be in major disagreement about Carrie's latest incarnation: a teenager played by AnnaSophia Robb on The CW's Sex and the City prequel, The Carrie Diaries.
In an interview earlier this month, Parker, who turned 48 on Monday, admitted that she's "not sure" what to think about the new direction of the Sex and the City franchise.
"You know, I think it's one of those tests of your generosity," said Parker. "[Robb] is a lovely girl and I want her to feel good about it, but it's … odd."
Author Bushnell, on the other hand, is thrilled with Robb's performance—and doesn't understand why Parker has an issue.
"The reality is, that's showbiz," Bushnell, 54, tells The Daily Beast. "Sarah Jessica's first part was somebody else's part. She played Annie on Broadway. She understands how these things work."
Naturally, Bushnell has more of a stake in The Carrie Diaries, since she wrote the 2010 young-adult novel on which it's based. But she also believes that Robb, 19, has connected with Parker's character in a very real way.
"I love AnnaSophia. She just holds the screen. ... Sometimes I'm just taken aback. Like, wow, that is in a sense a young Sarah Jessica Parker," says Bushnell. "I know we think of a young Sarah Jessica Parker as very different, because she was in Square Pegs. But if Sarah Jessica Parker had played a 16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw, I see the connection."
Maybe Sarah Jessica Parker feels like AnnaSophia Robb is replacing her—like a husband leaving his wife for a younger woman? In a sense, Bushnell confirms that fear in her interview, saying that Parker can no longer play Carrie as she was originally written.
"Look, Sarah Jessica Parker is 47. I think with the second movie, Carrie Bradshaw couldn't be an ingenue anymore," says Bushnell, referring to the big-screen flop Sex and the City 2. "But I think they were stuck doing what the audience wanted. Realistically, a middle-aged woman who was married without children would be much more focused on her career and less focused on this Mr. Big: 'Does he love me?' ... 'Does he still not love me?' I mean, I think it was coming to the end of what they could do with the character."
Strong words. Bushnell, though, sees an alternate future for Carrie Bradshaw: one in which she channeled her ambitions into something other than writing about sex and chasing down romance. Something, for example, like running for mayor.
"It would get into some real issues of what happens when you're part of a relationship and the woman is ambitious. What does that do to her relationship with Mr. Big?" Bushnell reflects. "To me, that would be interesting. ... In real life, it doesn't seem realistic to me that character would be writing that column for fifteen years."
Now that we think about it, Carrie Bradshaw was sort of a perpetual teenager, consumed with fashion, boys and gossip. What would Sex and the City have been like if Carrie had gone into a different career and left the Mr. Big obsession behind? Sounds like we'll never find out, because instead of moving forward into adulthood, she's going right back to being a teenager. Maybe that's what Sarah Jessica Parker found "odd."

Why Jetstar wants to bring outsourced technology back in housePUBLISHED: 25 Mar 2014 12:59:16 | UPDATED: 26 Mar 2014 10:55:52PRINT EDITION: 25 Mar 2014
Jetstar CIO Grainne Kearns believes some of the airline's technology functions should be brought back in house.
Paul Smith
Jetstar's new group chief information officer Grainne Kearns has kicked off a major review of the airline's technology set up, re-evaluating its supplier contracts and suggesting that outsourced work may be brought back in-house.
Ms Kearns joined Jetstar in October to take over running its five airlines across Asia-Pacific from her well-respected predecessor Stephen Tame.
Mr Tame has accepted a position running the technology operations of an overseas low-cost airline, and will relocate pending a work visa.
Jetstar has become well-known in tech-industry circles for being heavily outsourced. It has a surprisingly lean operation with just five internal staff reporting to the CIO.
Ms Kearns, who was previously CIO at Telstra's Sensis division, said she took the first seven weeks at Jetstar to examine its technology operations, and had since brought in a handful of subject matter experts to help draw up a future plan.
She said the focus of the review was on using technology to help position the airline for further expansion, improve customer loyalty and cut costs. Under Mr Tame the airline had a reputation for a low-cost tech strategy, with IT spending understood to be at a relatively low 1.1 per cent of overall revenue.
Sourcing model under review
"We have a large amount of the IT function outsourced to service providers, so the whole sourcing model will be part of the review exercise that I will be doing," Ms Kearns said. "I will also need to question if adjusting it would mean that the ratio between in-house and external needs to change."
She said that while her review could be seen as putting vendors on notice, suppliers giving good performance need not worry.
Jetstar has an array of technology suppliers, ranging from large to smaller players. Bigger vendors, include IBM, which manages airport check-in kiosks and Telstra International, which handles communications. Other suppliers include Zensar Technologies, which runs operations, customer relationship management and services desk out of India and China; iGate , which manages engineering app development; Lincom Solutions, which provides desktop support services and airport technology specialists Vedaleon and Sissit.
"We have service providers that are both onshore and offshore and, to be honest, the review I have done over the last few months shows me that I have way more of them than I would expect to see in an IT organisation of this size," Ms Kearns said.
"I am definitely of the opinion that some things are better handled in-house, and if I did that then the number of in-house staff would go up."
Ms Kearns said the change in tech direction was indicative of the changing nature of the company, which had expanded from being a single carrier in 2004 to operating five airlines across 16 countries and territories.
"The team here has done a great job keeping pace with that growth trajectory, but I am now coming in with fresh eyes to look at how we support those groups, and looking at how we optimise and innovate service delivery into each of those regions," she said.
Ms Kearns will report to group chief financial officer Race Strauss, but there is also technology expertise at the head of the local business as Australia and New Zealand chief executive David Hall had been group executive of corporate services and technology at Qantas.

What was it?
The Open Data Challenge was Europe's biggest open data competition to date. There were 20,000 euros in prizes to win, and a total of 430 entries from 24 EU Member States. It was open for 60 days - from early April to early June 2011.
The winners were selected by an all star cast of open data gurus, and announced by Vice President of the European Commission Neelie Kroes at the Digital Agenda Assembly in Brussels.
What did people say about it?
There were many more great applications than we could give prizes to!
Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Inventor of the World Wide Web + W3C
I believe governments should embrace open data. This competition is a great opportunity to demonstrate why.
Neelie Kroes, European Commission Vice-President
I would like to hereby express my support to the Open Data Challenge, and commend the Open Knowledge Foundation for organizing this groundbreaking pan-European initiative to stimulate innovation based on public sector information reuse.
Séverin Naudet, data.gouv.fr
As a judge in this competition, I have seen many great ideas from intelligent and innovative people, ideas that are mostly designed to help people to navigate through a jungle of information scattered all across the Internet.
Natasa Pirc Musar, Slovenian Information Commissioner
Open data makes governments transparent, accountable and efficient. It can create social and economic value. At a European level open data could be transformative and this competition will show how.
Nigel Shadboldt, UK Government Public Sector Transparency Board
Open data competitions are the innovation labs of open data, they are important not because they will foster new applications, but because they can expand our horizons and begin to reveal the depth of our imagination, and the potential of the open data opportunity.
David Eaves, Advisor to the Mayor of Vancouver
The Open Data Challenge is a fantastic opportunity to encourage creativity in an area which has enormous untapped potential. It had really impressive results in such a short period of time and will serve as example for the future.
The entries in the Open Data Challenge provide a glimpse into what is possible when open data is mashed with great ideas on how to make that data relevant and useful for citizens. Some of the entries are particularly inspiring because they show how the open source community can help tackle the big problems faced by many countries and cities, from environmental issues and health. These geeks are saving the world each line of code at a time. It was my honor to help the Open Data Challenge pick the winners.
Juliana Rotich, Ushahidi
I'm amazed by the vast amount of entries to this competition, it really exceeded my expectations!
Jacob Bøtter, We Mind
I was very happy to see the extremely long list of creative applications that were sent to participate to the Open Data Challenge. I think the list itself and the broad variety of ideas and innovation it represents really illustrate the opportunities offered by ICT for Europe, consumer, businesses and the public sector.
Kaisa Olkkonen, Nokia
Very inspiring entries.
Sascha Venohr, Zeit Online
It is great to see how open data enables creative people to build great applications. Many of the entries in the competition will contribute to increased understanding of how government works and some look like they already are successful commercial ventures.
Peter Krantz, Swedish Government
The ideas entered into the competition were very varied in scope and subject matter - from the very broad and ambitious ideas to more ready-to-produce type ideas, some even with early versions and examples. The collection of ideas show that many of the same issues and challenges exist across national borders, which makes it urgent for journalists, NGOs and government agencies to cooperate on "liberating" government data and developing tools to put data to use in innovative ways.
Olav A. Øvrebø, University of Bergen
The rich field of entries submitted to the OpenData Challenge highlights both the value of exposing public information as well as the incredible creativity that the public will bring to bear on repurposing that data for the benefit of all. A truly virtuous cycle that should be encouraged through efforts such as the Open Data Challenge.
Andy Updegrove, Open Forum Academy
Publishing useful raw data is more difficult for many organizations than we might expect - it requires not just political and budgetary muscles to be flexed, but also a leap of faith that someone, somewhere will do something useful with it. So when data is released publicly, it's imperative that the communities that care about that data build apps to turn that data into impact - to reward that leap of faith. The winning entries in this contest demonstrated impact to a degree deeper than I think any of us could have expected. They also showed the value of using open data in the context of truly interactive applications. This is not just about putting dots on a screen in a pretty way - this is about harnessing open data and open tools to reinvent the way we govern and the way we live.
Brian Behlendorf, World Economic Forum
With sufficient political leadership, open data platforms will deliver large collective benefits to society. Already, we are seeing the beginnings of an astonishingly rich and variegated global information commons that could revolutionize the way we battle public sector deficits and manage grand challenges such as improving public health and shifting to a new green energy paradigm.
Anthony Williams, Author of Wikinomics
Who were the winners?
1st Prize Idea: bePart - Mobile eParticipation for Urban Development (Germany)
In a sentence: A mobile application which facilitates citizens' participation in urban development. See more.
bePart is my absolute favourite among the shortlisted applications - a novel idea with unquestionable public appeal. Participation in urban planning decisions using public information is currently very difficult, and making this easier could have an impact on the lives of many EU citizens.
Dániel Antal, Euractiv.hu
2nd Prize Idea: Nomen Est Omen (Finland)
In a sentence: What do European public databases say about your family name? See more.
Nomen est Omen sounds like a fascinating dataset, and one that could produce an affecting and interesting final product.
Tom Lee, Sunlight Foundation
3rd Prize Idea: European Union Dashboard (Belgium)
In a sentence: How does your country contribute to and benefit from different European policies? See more.
The EU dashboard concept is proof that opening up public sector data can unleash powerful new public goods and enable citizens, politicians and social enterprises to build a more dynamic public sphere. The EU dashboard is precisely the kind of application we need to bolster public engagement and make EU institutions more accessible to ordinary citizens. It will take some courage on the part of the EU's leaders to implement the dashboard, but a commitment to invite greater scrutiny and public participation is essential if we are to move European democracy and governance into the 21st Century.
Anthony Williams, Author of Wikinomics
1st Prize App: ZNasichDani (Slovakia)
In a sentence: Uncovers influential people standing behind companies successful in securing contracts with the state. See more.
A pretty app, with no excess clutter, which promises and delivers simplicity. Very easy to use and understand. The suggestions for what to type (for people who are not familiar with the names of Slovakian politicians) was precisely the sort of aid that a new user would need in order to use the app. How to read the results is also very well designed, and very well explained. And it's a brilliant idea. Everybody needs tools like this to help route out undue influence and corruption in their own countries. I would like to help make this app make a big splash.
Laura Creighton, Investor
2nd Prize App: Live London Underground Tube Map (UK)
In a sentence: Plots the current positions of all London Underground trains on a map, and updates the map in real time. See more.
Great visualisation with great ideas for how to handle traffic-movements - and a nice piece to prove how important open traffic data is.
Sascha Venohr, Zeit Online
Amazing visualisation of public transportation. Everybody gets almost the same view as a traffic manager. It really helps to show the public what can be done with open data.
Sören Auer, University of Leipzig
A very nicely designed application, making each subway train and their movements visible on a map of London. In Germany, the open data movement is trying hard to receive real time data from public transport agencies, so far in vain. Maybe seeing this cool application can help to convince their management, as well as that of other European public transport agencies to free their data to the benefit of all.
3rd Prize App: OpenCorporates (UK)
In a sentence: Exposes company data on the web in an open, easy to use form, allowing connections between companies to be crowdsourced. See more.
This is an incredibly powerful and useful app. It combines information collected by scraping the web with Open Data from government bodies, with a new feature for crowdsourcing. It makes accessing government information about companies trivial. This tool is invaluable for those who want to find out more about what it is that corporations are doing. It is a remarkable step forward for transparency and accountability. I could play with this thing for days.
Laura Creighton, Investor
It uses open data to tackle a very important issue: monitoring firms and business in the global market, and trying to make markets more transparent for the benefit of the market itself and the society as a whole.
Lorenzo Benussi, TOPIX
1st Prize Visualisation: Bike Share Map (UK)
In a sentence: Shows the current state of bike share systems in over 30 cities around the world - from London to Barcelona, from Bordeaux to Vienna from and Washington DC to Melbourne. See more.
This application will make the difference between arriving late and stressed or calm and composed after cycling into work by the river. Bike Share Map is a clean, simple and very useful application. Public transport users from the world's most active cities will be able to make informed decisions and will perhaps choose to make more use of bike share initiatives.
Victoria Anderica Caffarena, Access Info Europe
Joint 2nd Prize Visualisation: Mapping Europe's Carbon Dioxide Emissions (UK)
In a sentence: Shows how much CO2 is emitted by factories and power stations across Europe, and where companies are buying offset credits from in order to comply with their pollution allowance in the European Emissions Trading Scheme. See more.
Joint 2nd Prize Visualisation: Evolution of European Union Legislation (Denmark)
In a sentence: Shows the legislative activity of the European Union in different policy areas over time. See more.
3rd Prize Visualisation: Politiek Inzicht (Netherlands)
In a sentence: Shows what politicians in Dutch parliament are saying by showing word clouds of the most important words said. See more.
We need better ways to understand our politicians, ways that go beyond catching a single quote to illuminate all of their commitments, interests and actions. That is why I really like this app.
David Eaves, Advisor to the Mayor of Vancouver
My favorite data visualisation was the dutch entry called "Politiek Inzicht", which shows what members of parliament talk about, by visualising tag clouds for all individual speeches, reports and so on given by members of parliament. This is not only done in way which is very fun - it also provides valuable insight into the real political focus of each politician, allows for comparison between individuals within parties or across parties. When I explored this app, I immediately thought - "Thats what we need in Germany too!".
Better Data Award: eHarta Historical Maps (Romania)
In a sentence: A collection of thousands of old georeferenced maps, published and documented with the help of the community. See more.
Of the entries presented, my clear favourite is "eHarta historical maps" which successfully crowd-sourced georeferencing on three sets of historical maps covering all of Romania. It also showed how useful information could be mined from these maps, particularly when it came to discovering areas that have been flooded in the past, and showing the directions in which towns have developed.
Julian Todd, ScraperWiki
Open Data Award: Points of Interest for the Municipality of Örebro (Sweden)
In a sentence: Exposes data about points of interest in the Municipality of Örebro. See more.
This entry is an inspiring example of how datasets can be opened up by public servants acting on their own initiative, and how this needn't always be a time consuming, complex or laborious process. The entrant simply got permission from their boss, then exposed a dataset behind a map they were publishing, and applied an open license. If every public body had someone who did the same thing - a lot of data could be opened up very quickly!
Rufus Pollock, Open Knowledge Foundation
Talis Award for Linked Data: Greater Manchester Bus Timetable Linked Data (UK)
In a sentence: A linked data version of bus timetable and bus stop data for Greater Manchester. See more.
This submission shows a clear understanding, and a demonstration, of the benefits of applying Linked Data principles to real world requirements. The core source data, about Manchester bus routes, has not just been published in isolation, it has been linked to other government published data which was then used to add value to it with geo-logation for instance. The transformation process applied web identifiers for each concept and item in the data set, enabling users and developers to follow the relationships in the data. By applying standard content negotiation they have made the resource easily available for both human eyes, and for application developers thus stimulating innovative uses of the data.

Conspiracy theories, as Richard Hofstadter noted, can target any demographic group. Nixon's targeted three: Jews, intellectuals, and Ivy Leaguers. Nixon privately called all three groups "arrogant" and said they placed themselves "above the law." By telling himself that Jews, intellectuals and Ivy Leaguers were immoral, even criminal, Nixon gave himself permission to do immoral, even criminal, things to any Jew, intellectual or Ivy Leaguer whom he feared could cause him political harm.

It's a Fact: Domestic Drilling Doesn't Affect Gas Prices
Two newly released reports shed some much-needed light onto a crucial question in Washington: Does domestic oil drilling affect gasoline prices?
That question lies at the heart of the debate over what we should do about high and volatile gasoline prices. Advocates for oil drilling call for broader and quicker access to our nation's resources in order to provide relief at the pump – calls that the House has happily obliged by passing bills that would open up new areas to offshore drilling and undercut government oversight. Environmental groups and other opponents of domestic drilling, on the other hand, argue that this is the wrong approach, and that we should instead be investing in fuel efficient vehicles and alternate modes of transportation.
The two new reports provide much-needed objective and nonpartisan analyses of this crucial question, and come to the same, clear conclusion: providing relief at the pump to U.S. consumers can only be achieved through reducing our oil consumption, NOT through more domestic drilling.
The reports were issued by the Energy Security Leadership Council (ESLC), a nonpartisan project of Securing America's Future Energy that's composed of industry CEOs and retired four-star generals and admirals, and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), which provides nonpartisan economic analysis to Congress. They join a growing list of impartial publications that refute the notion that the United States can drill its way to energy independence and free ourselves from the myriad problems associated with our oil consumption and offshore drilling.

Obama's Early April Fool's Joke?
Very funny, Mr. President, but tomorrow is April Fool's, not today. We can't imagine that you'd go back on your promise to keep the moratorium on offshore drilling.
President Obama announced today that he will open much of the Atlantic coastline, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and the north coast of Alaska to offshore drilling. This includes areas that were previously protected and fragile Arctic ecosystems – places where it's unnecessary and destructive to drill, but it seems that the President must know that.
I say that because I remember the speech Obama gave during the 2008 campaign in Florida. He was attacking Senator McCain's proposal to expand offshore drilling, and he said, "It would have long-term consequences for our coastlines but no short-term benefits since it would take at least ten years to get any oil… It will take a generation to reach full production…When I'm President I intend to keep in place the moratorium here in Florida and around the country."

INDIAN LAND An unmarked warehouse on the edge of an industrial park seems an unlikely place to change children's lives.
But step inside Manny Ohonme's 5,000-square-foot office, and you can see how it's going to happen. Thousands of shoes are stacked high in rows of boxes, awaiting delivery to some of the world's littlest and poorest feet.
This is the home of Samaritan's Feet, a charity that has gained international acclaim for its relief efforts in countries around the globe. The group moved last summer from Charlotte to Indian Land, just east of Fort Mill.
"A lot of people don't know we're here," Ohonme said of the Indian Land headquarters. "People know us more nationally than locally."
That could soon change. Six years after he founded Samaritan's Feet, Ohonme is gearing up for his first project in South Carolina, a back-to-school campaign that aims to deliver shoes to as many as 46,000 needy children across the state. York County will be one of the leading participants.
Many people may not recognize the group by name, but they might remember flipping on ESPN last year and seeing University of North Carolina men's basketball coach Roy Williams coaching a game in his bare feet.
It was an idea that came from Ohonme, who convinced 1,000 high school and college coaches to ditch their loafers in a show of support for the cause.
Inside a warehouse off U.S. 521, volunteers from area churches and civic groups show up at designated times to unpack shoes, remove the paper stuffing and load up containers.
Container ships and cargo planes carry the shipments to countries such as Malawi, Nigeria and Indonesia.
The local United Way is helping set up S.C. distribution locations next month in Rock Hill, Fort Mill, Clover and York, where volunteers will hand out shoes and wash the feet of children in some school districts.
The drive comes at a critical time for parents struggling in the bad economy, said Diane Wells, community resource coordinator for United Way of York County.
"If I can get my child in new shoes, then I can use those funds to buy groceries or pay utilities," Wells said. "A lot of our clients are going from agency to agency looking for help. That's one less worry they have."

Bora Bora holds such mystery and beauty that for many people it remains a dream. A mythical place, too fairytale-like to really exist. But paradise is here on earth and it is more beautiful than the postcards!
Romantic resorts make Bora Bora even more alluring. Thatched-roof villas and over-water bungalows, nestled along stunning beaches, offer luxury in paradise. White sand beaches surrounding the lagoon welcome you into warm water to swim and explore with your snorkel for hours. Warm sunshine and tropical scents lull you into island relaxation.
Divers plunge into crystal clear depths with graceful sharks and manta rays. Snorkellers swim and spy on tropical fish in the coral gardens.
Try parasailing, and marvel as the water melds from aqua, to azure, to sapphire blue.
Cycle the island circle road enjoying the fragrance of frangipani.
For a change of pace, paddle through the sheltered, shallow water. Or scoot across the enchanting lagoon on a jet ski. Or enjoy a boat tour around the island and feast your eyes on the changing shape of Mt Otemanu. To enjoy a taste of islander hospitality, select one that offers a motu picnic.
Want to explore the inner savage island? Ride to it's centre in a 4WD and hike into the Forbidden Valley of the Kings.This is the perfect place to do nothing.
Bathe in the Tahitian sunshine.
Linger over fine dining in restaurants overlooking the ever-fascinating lagoon.
Eat with locals at beach-side roulettes to savour the Polynesian spirit.
Lovers can shop for exotic black pearls and take a memory of the island's beauty back home with them.
At sunset, relax and sip coconut lime cocktails.
Bora Bora is the perfect tropical island holiday or honeymoon vacation. The ultimate setting for a romantic wedding abroad. You can do as much or as little as you want...while soaking up the ambience of the most beautiful island in the world. It's on many people's 'wish list'. You deserve to see it once. But be aware! Some who venture here find themselves returning again and again.
Yes, this distant isle remains a slice of true South Pacific.
Lush vegetation and fragrant, tropical flowers adorn valleys and hillsides. Locals set up small roadside stalls to sell tropical fruits and the (fish) catch of the day. It contrasts with other more familiar island destinations that bustle with crowds and high-rise development.
I found Paradise and it's beauty keeps calling me back.
This site shares insights to guide your Bora Bora travel planning and pack your precious vacation days with thrilling memories. Choose the best resorts for you.

For the longest time, I had acknowledged a change coming on; all the while straying from the fact that changes were taking their place in various shapes and forms in my body and in my mind. As I grow older, I notice vast modifications in the way my writing has transformed, my photography has developed, my eating habits have turned around and what my mind set has found; basically just getting away from anger and hostility while craving the need to embrace positivity. Of course, all of this would be incomplete without mentioning Jeff Bridges' indirect yet profound impact on my life.
My story with Jeff Bridges began something like this–for the longest time, I was told that my idiosyncrasies and my traits resembled "The Dude" by ex-girlfriends and by close friends long before I had even watched The Big Lebowski. As years went by, I realized that most people had a copy of the movie at their household. Almost every time I mentioned that I hadn't watched it, I would be made aware that the main character from the movie reminded them of me. This continued for a while until one day, I spoke to a friend about it while gazing at his copy of the movie on top of his oversized, ubiquitous shelf. The conversation went something along the lines of this, "People have been calling me this dude fella and I have no idea who this fucker is. On a separate note, every time I mention the fact that I've never watched The Big Lebowski, they tell me that I resemble the main character. I've always been told that I remind friends of these two people. What is it about them in particular that's so similar to me, man?" Upon hearing this, my friend stared at me for a few seconds to make sure that I wasn't playing dumb. When he realized that wasn't the case, he yelled out, "It's one guy! It's Jeff Bridges." That was my introduction to Mr. Bridges and then I watched The Big Lebowski. I've had Creedence tapes as a kid, I've driven around my neighborhood banging on the hood of my car back when we had tape decks in them. I absolutely despise Metallica and I too hate the fucking Eagles, man. I also live in Seattle and I've known to be very slow in the past.
This whole form of realization would be incomplete without mentioning the man's compassionate and effective contribution to the world of arts and philanthropy, who played with his band, The Abiders, to a packed audience on Friday night at the Moore Theater. If there's one man who fits the bill for being an all-rounder, Jeff Bridges, in my opinion, is the cream of the crop. A humanitarian, actor, musician, photographer and as someone who's worked extensively to end child hunger by working with zen peacemakers, there is no denying of the credibility that Mr. Bridges has shown and continues to put forward in the most healthiest way imaginable with consistent initiatives. The only time you will see him frown or get mad would be in the movies. Off-screen, he's as humble and peaceful as The Dude himself. That being the reason why a movie like The Big Lebowski has such a cult following. Some of us don't really want to be heroes but just good to people around us and I have learned a great deal about how to go through life by following his ways. That being said, the medication bit hasn't exactly panned out yet due to a lack of knack but someday, maybe.
The opening act of the night was Seattle's own Richard Peterson who has been known to be a street performer as a trumpeter. After speaking to a few people outside the show about his ability to play the trumpet, it sounded as though most are skeptical of his fondness for this particular instrument. However, I was stunned at the intensity of the melodies that yielded with quite a bit of ominous feel when he took his seat in front of the piano. At one point, I found myself in awe because of how many ideas he had for changes in pattern which, as much as it may be unusual, adds up to his repertoire to think out of the box; making him an innovative and creative musician. Bridges' last stop in Washington at the Chateau St. Michelle when he toured for Crazy Heart included Peterson as an opening act as well. With his signature hat wave, Peterson comes off as humble as Bridges at times which proves to show why he is invited to play along with Bridges and it wouldn't surprise me if it was not only the good music that he's capable of performing but also because of the good energy that he brings to the table.
Jeff Bridges & The Abiders took the stage a little after 9:00 PM. Wearing a black, Seattle 7 bowling shirt, he shared his fondness about the city and mentioned a long list of friends who live here; many of whom were in attendance. The story started off with him jesting about how he was unable to decide what to wear to the show until he came across the bowling shirt. What followed was a series of dude references in between songs, something that got the crowd very excited. The setlist consisted of six songs from his film Crazy Heart for which he has won an Academy Award for the portrayal of Bad Blake; a washed-up country singer on the road. He also played a few tunes off his own record that I have listened to exclusively but up until last night, I wasn't aware that some of the really good stuff in that one was written by his friend with whom he goes back all the way to fourth-grade. Obviously, a Jeff Bridges set would be incomplete without a few covers which included the track that opens up The Big Lebowski and comes back in one of the dream sequences, "The Man in Me." Another Dylan cover that followed was "Ring Them Bells" with a very unique arrangement, much different than the original. A well-timed and melodic "Lookin' out my Back Door" by Creedence was also covered that was made famous during the car scene in the The Big Lebowski when he drops the lit joint on his lap while driving and crashing in to a dumpster. A Tom Waits song that was contributed to the soundtrack of Bridges' 1992 film American Heart which was based in Seattle was covered as well for which Bridges played the keyboard and that too, quite elegantly.
The Abiders managed to remain tight throughout the show, often surpassing my expectations when it came to rhythm sections and long twangy, country-oriented guitar accents and solos. Jeff Bridges, as always, managed to remain thoroughly entertaining and well-rehearsed. Check out some recommended tunes underneath.
Recommended Jeff Bridges Tunes:
Hold on You, Everything But Love, Maybe I Missed The Point, The Quest, I Don't Know, Slow Boat, Fallin' and Flying and Somebody Else.

Diesel Trousers
Selected the 2 December 2010 by Romano as "the garagerocker"
Looking for some "hybrid" smart trousers, here is the Chi-tight from Diesel. Kiosk78 defines them as smart. I don't totally agree. The material used, the cut, the shape, fits the adjective "smart". But too much details allow me considering them as casual : patches and visible buttons. That's why I called them "hybrid", then you could either wear them with some hi-tops or with some formal shoes.

Cyprus tasting notes
text and photographs © 2007 Tom Cannavan
These notes accompany our in-depth feature on
Cyprus and its wines
Tsiakkas Xynisteri 2008
All grapes for this wine are bought in from a very old - 50 years plus - vineyard. The nose is clean, bright, though fairly neutral. There's a background touch of herbs and a gentle touch of pear. The palate has a heavier, oilier mouthfeel, with pretty good fruit on the mid-palate. I find this a touch phenolic in the finish, but it has tang and a bit of style. 86/100
Sauvignon Blanc 2008
Until their own vineyards come on stream, Tsiakkas buys Sauvignon Blanc grown at relatively low altitude. There's an apple and lemon fruitiness here, though it is fairly subdued, with just a hint of something nettly in the background. The palate has a little phenolic astringency, though some god acidity and lemony fruit pierces through. 86/100
Tsiakkas Chardonnay 2008
Creamy, nicely herbal and vegetal notes to orchard fruits. Fresh and zippy, lots of apple and melon and tangy lemon acidity. Commercial but drinking well. 86/100
Tsiakkas Merlot 2006
Tomato leaf greenness. Maybe even hinting at chrysanthemum. Decent wine on palate, with a bit of juiciness, but I'm not really keen on this. 85/100
Tsiakkas Vamvakada 2005
Vamvakada is another name for Maratheftiko. Quite earthy, though quite solid red fruit on the nose. A nice fleshy roundness on the palate, with one year in barrel giving some weight and softness to rather herbal fruit. Not huge length, but dense and chewy tannins, freshening acidity and a bit of substance. 86/100
Tsiakkas Vamvakada 2006
Served cold from the cellar, which helps sharpen it up slightly, but I still find this rather dusty and baked, with a dullish, slightly herbal palate. 85/100
Tsiakkas Vamvakada 2007
Has a slightly gamier nose, with still a slightly cooked quality. Leathery. The palate is big-boned and dense, with a sweetness to the fruit that adds a level of complexity (and enjoyment) to the slightly tough, leathery, herbal quality. A touch longer too. 88/100
Tsiakkas Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
The cherry and blackcurrant nose is fruity and pastille-like. Very open and flattering. The palate is simple and fruity too, though with a hefty tannic background and the sweetness playing nicely against acidity. Subtle oak. 87/100
Tsiakkas Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Quite tight, with tightly-wound black fruit showing a little kirsch and a little minerality. The oak is pretty dominant on the palate at this stage (only weeks out of barrel) adding a resinous vanillin note to quite firm fruit. This seems firmer and more savoury than the 2005. 88/100
Tsiakkas Commandaria style
Not a commercial product, this is a Commanderia lookalike aged in two to three year old barriques or 300-litre barrels. Unlike the traditional Commandaria stsyle, the barrels are topped up regularly so the wine does not oxidise. "A very different style from Commandaria," says Costas Tsiakkas. Lovely rich, thick, toffee and raisin nose. Unctuous, rich palate, with a touch of tannin, fudge and nuts and lovely lemony twist and good acidity. 90/100

create a new system raid on running centos 6.3
I have a production system that has a failed dmraid for the system disk. I have tried to fail the drive and replace it but it will not rebuild. I would like to move this to a md raid. I have a test system that I have been working on and have not been successful as yet to duplicate and correct this problem.
test system:
running centos 6.3 on a single disk.
created a new md0 raid1 on two other disks that I have installed. ( I used the HOW-TO -------How To Create A RAID1 Setup On An Existing CentOS/RedHat 6.0 System )
everything worked just fine but when I try to install the grub installed on the raid1 ( md0 ) it is failing with this error:
root (hd1,0)
Error 5: Partition table invalid or corrupt
I have tried this on both disks of the raid1 and get the same error from both.
Any guidance from this point will be great.

Mobile specialists Eagle Eye Solutions re-sign exclusive deal with London wine bar operator
11 November 2005, London, UK
Mobile specialists Eagle Eye Solutions re-sign exclusive deal with London wine bar Corney & Barrow
Mobile specialists Eagle Eye Solutions re-sign an exclusive deal with London wine bar operator, Corney & Barrow
Eagle Eye Solutions http://www.eagleeyesolutions.co.uk have re-signed their exclusive deal with London wine bar operator, Corney & Barrow http://www.corney-barrow.co.uk. The new contract is for an initial period of 24 months and the deal will involve Corney & Barrow re-branding BuyMeaBeer as their own service.
Using the same technical infrastructure, the scheme will be called Buy Me a Drink http://www.buymeadrink.co.uk and will be available in all 12 Corney & Barrow wine bars. Existing customers of BuyMeaBeer will be seamlessly moved across to the new service and all old valid vouchers will still be redeemable.
Stephen Rothwell, director at Eagle Eye Solutions comments, "By changing the name of the product from BuyMeaBeer to Buy Me a Drink Corney & Barrow are building their own brand, with the full support of their marketing team. This is excellent news for Eagle Eye Solutions, as an increase in the awareness of the product can only open new doors for us to move the service into new markets and countries."
BuyMeaBeer and Buy Me a Drink will be two separate entities based on the same technology. As the BuyMeaBeer brand grows and moves into new territories with new products, Buy Me a Drink will remain a unique Corney & Barrow service for the heart of the London business district.
The re-signing of the contract will see heightened promotional activities by Corney & Barrow and ongoing advances in the functionality of the system. As Corney & Barrow push the service into their key market areas, the system will continue to grow to meet demand and market changes.
Advances in the Buy Me a Drink service will include:
- Corporate Accounts: Corporate companies can have multiple logins under one account, so that they can send vouchers to staff and customers.
- Calendaring: Will allow the user to set dates in advance so they can buy drinks now, but have them sent at a date in the future.
- Reminder Messages: Sending people reminder messages before the voucher expires to make sure that they do not forget about their drink.
Ed Gardner, marketing director of Corney & Barrow Wine Bars says, "BuyMeaBeer has been a huge success for both Eagle Eye Solutions and Corney & Barrow over the last twelve months. With changing lifestyles seeing increasing use of mobile technologies, we recognise the potential for growth and expansion of such an innovative product. We are excited to be at the forefront of our industry in the use of modern technologies to support what is essentially still a people led business."

The Best China ETF for 2010
Editor's note: This piece was originally published on Real Money on Jan. 7. It is being republished as a bonus for TheStreet.com readers.
Claymore/AlphaShares China Small Cap (HAO) was my favorite China ETF in 2009 and it delivered with a gain of 96.6%. The next closest China ETFs were Claymore/AlphaShares China Real Estate (TAO), up 71.9%, PowerShares Golden Dragon (PGJ), up 63.1%, and SPDR S&P China ETF (GXC), up 60.5%. The most widely held China ETF, iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 (FXI), advanced only 47.3% last year.
Although a lot has changed in the past year, the longer-term trends that favor small caps remain in force, in my opinion. The Chinese economy will become more consumer and healthcare focused in future, and small-cap HAO remains the best positioned broad China ETF for this trend, in my view. In my opinion, HAO has another 25% to run in 2010.
Despite difficult credit conditions for small companies in 2009, the China small-cap ETF outperformed its state-owned enterprise-heavy (SOE) competitors, such as FXI. I think we will see a repeat in 2010, as I think credit conditions will be about the same or better for smaller businesses, with the government and banks adopting targeted measures to reach out to these underserved businesses, while the large SOEs, which received much of the 2009 lending, may see credit squeezed should monetary policy tighten. With the central bank calling for "moderate loan growth", this appears likely.In terms of sectors, HAO remains favorably weighted, with greater exposure to the technology, consumer and healthcare sectors than its peers. These sectors are likely to underpin China's growth, in my view, as it evolves into a mature consumer economy. Rival PGJ offers 50% more technology exposure (18% versus 12% in HAO), but it comes with large exposure to the SOEs that litter most China ETFs, and that's what I'm trying to avoid. On the plus side, PGJ does have low exposure to financials, at about 8%, and it only holds U.S.-listed or ADS shares. By comparison, FXI's financial exposure is 47% and GXC holds 33%, mostly in the big state-owned banks. HAO has 12.9% of its holdings in financials, but mainly in insurance and property developers, not in banking. The recent boom in lending, coupled with the warning signs put forward in a

The Dayton Audio DTA-120 stereo integrated amp skimps on features, but this desktop-friendly device pumps out 60 watts a channel.
A universal wireless-charging standard is looking like more of a possibility as two major rivals -- A4WP and PMA -- have agreed to work together.
Rezence, which has actually been around for a while, is being positioned as the next-generation wireless charging standard.
Samsung said it would invest in a technology championed by the Wireless Power Consortium, while Qualcomm said it would join both the WPC and rival Power Matters Alliance.
In the complex war over standards for wireless charging, Qualcomm has emerged as a quasi-neutral party. CNET talks to the company about the future of the technology.
New Bluetooth, audio, and TPM requirements, some of which take effect in 2014 and 2015, are coming for Windows 8.1 (and beyond) devices.
Which wireless charging standard will emerge the winner? One side now appears to have momentum thanks to backing from AT&T.
A new app developed by the European Space Agency turns the Parrot AR.Drone quadcopter into a simulation of a spacecraft.
Heavyweights are backing the idea of wireless charging capabilities embedded in phones, and public charging stations are beginning to pop up. Differing standards, however, still make for a rocky adoption.
The new iPhone 5 is here, and like with just about all of Apple's new releases, you can nitpick some of the design choices Apple made and certain features it failed to include.
