Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

text: Career & Postgraduate Opportunities Building a career in the performing arts requires talent, persistence, luck and solid preparation. The good news is that the performing arts industry is expanding. The integration of performing arts techniques into everything from education to computer games has made the organization, managerial and technical skills taught in the performing arts a valuable commodity.Besides work as performers or technicians in live theatre, people trained in the performing arts find satisfying careers as media managers for advertising agencies, speech writers, arts managers, facilities managers, special event planners, grant writers, community development planners and producers. Television, film and the growing digital media industry also provide a number of specialized careers and work opportunities. As you plan your career it is important to assess your skills and interests and to work closely with your advisor to gain the kinds of experiences and knowledge that you will need to obtain your first position. A well planned internship, summer theatre experiences and work off campus are all strongly encouraged by the Department. By the time of graduation your resume should reflect a range of experiences in different venues. For some people a graduate degree is a part of their career plan. The process of considering graduate programs and selecting a graduate school usually begins in the fall of the senior year. Many students will want to consider doing the University and Resident Theatre Auditions (URTA). If at all possible it is recommended that you visit the graduate programs that you find most interesting. As you start the application process it is important to consult your advisor. It is certainly true that the performing arts is still a small community. The Department has a number of connections, and Hamline alumni locally and across the country are willing to provide you with assistance and advice. Job Search There are a number of different ways to find jobs in the performing arts. These sites provide information about publically posted jobs. In addition to these resources, some organizations send inquiries to the theatre. These will be posted in the Design Classroom (tech positions) or on the Callboard. Any job search should include a visit to the Career Development Center. Playbill On Line Jobs http://www.playbill.com/jobs/find/

Mike Coughlan, Technical Director: This morning we completed a few more tests, mainly on the aero side, to work to solve the problems we have and gather more data for the team back at the factory. For FP2 we were back to our usual Friday programme, working on car balance, set-up and long run performance. It is really important to make sure we can look after the tyres during the race in the extreme conditions we find here. Our short run pace still isn't where we need it to be, but our long run pace is better, so we can take some positives out of that. Pastor Maldonado: We completed our planned programme today. We tested some development parts this morning and then we were back to working on set-up for the weekend this afternoon. Our short run pace isn't as strong, but on higher fuel and used tyres the car felt better. This is what we were expecting today, and so we'll continue to push hard tomorrow. Valtteri Bottas: It wasn't a bad day for us. We gathered some valuable data in FP1 to help us to evaluate which direction to continue with the development of the FW35. In FP2 we completed some longer runs on the medium tyre, and now we will go through the data to see where we can improve as the tyre wear is big here, especially on the rears.

Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Information for Ob-Gyns
Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) are discussed in tandem, as the MMR vaccine is a combination vaccine. Even when susceptibility to only one antigen is suspected, the MMR vaccine is always used.
The primary objective of rubella immunization for women is to prevent fetal rubella infection and subsequent congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) in newborns. Fetal infection with rubella may lead to spontaneous abortion, fetal death, or preterm delivery. A child born with (CRS) may have a variety of congenital effects that depend upon the gestational age and developmental growth in progress at the time of infection. The syndrome causes more damage in early gestation, when more organ systems are developing. CRS defects can include sensorineural deafness, cataracts, microphthalmia, glaucoma, chorioretinitis, patent ductus arteriosus, peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis, atrial or ventricular septal defects, microcephaly, meningoencephalitis, mental retardation, and intrauterine and postnatal growth restriction.
After birth, an infant born with CRS sheds rubella virus heavily for a year or more. Consequently, a single case of CRS creates a potential danger of more maternal rubella cases and subsequent CRS. Clinicians should strive to inform parents and caretakers of the danger an infant with CRS can spread. Everyone involved with the CRS child's care should understand that 1) these infants can spread rubella to susceptible children and adults, who may then transmit the virus to susceptible pregnant individuals; 2) the infant may shed rubella virus for a year or longer; and 3) it is the parents and caretakers who can prevent rubella disease transmission and further cases of CRS.
The MMR vaccine can be given to individuals who are allergic to eggs, as anaphylactic reactions from MMR-containing vaccines have been associated with other vaccine components.

Last Updated: 8/26/2013
Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Information for Patients
Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) are grouped together because the MMR vaccine is a combination vaccine that protects against all three diseases. They are all caused by viruses and are very contagious. They spread from person to person by coughing or sneezing.
Measles (rubeola) infection causes fever, runny nose, cough, and a rash all over the body. In more serious cases, ear infection, seizures, pneumonia, or brain damage can result. Some people who get measles can die.
Mumpsinfection starts out with flu-like symptoms including fever, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, and loss of appetite. Next, the salivary glands become swollen and painful. Serious cases of mumps can result in deafness or fertility problems.
Rubella infection causes high fever and rash lasting a few days in most people. Rubella is much more serious for some people. Pregnant women who get rubella can pass it to the fetus, causing abortion, death, or preterm delivery. In newborns, rubella can cause a very serious disease called congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). CRS can cause:
• Deafness
• Serious defects of the eyes, heart, and brain
• Mental retardation
• Fetal and newborn growth problems.
After birth, an infant born with CRS is highly contagious and can spread rubella virus very easily. The best way to prevent this dangerous disease cycle is by getting the vaccine.
Adults who did not get the MMR vaccine as children should get at least one dose. Those who have had severe allergic reactions to previous vaccines should not get the vaccine. People should wait to get the vaccine if they are sick when the shot is scheduled or if they are pregnant. Pregnant women should wait to get the vaccine until after delivery. Women should wait to become pregnant for at least 1 month after getting the vaccine.
Visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's pages for more information on measles, mumps, and rubella.

WASHINGTON, January 31, 2003 - Following President Bush's announcement in Grand Rapids, Michigan of his proposal to rely increasingly on private insurers to administer Medicare benefits, Barbara Weinstein, Legislative Director at the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism (RAC), released the following statement:
Medicare is the nation's largest health insurance plan, successfully providing coverage for our nation's elderly and disabled citizens. In Tuesday's State of the Union address and again in Michigan on Wednesday, President Bush proposed privatizing Medicare by tying a prescription drug benefit to participation in privately administered health benefits that will push America's seniors and people with disabilities into managed care. While Medicare is in need of enhanced benefits, including prescription drugs, privatization will never accomplish that goal.
Under the President's plan, only those seniors and disabled individuals willing to switch from traditional Medicare to private insurers will receive prescription drug coverage. By pushing these vulnerable members of society toward HMOs, President Bush is encouraging beneficiaries to play "Russian roulette" with their health care. Those who rely on Medicare for their health coverage do not simply need more choices in health care plans; they need an improved, government-administered Medicare plan that includes the physician choice already provided, along with enhanced benefits - including prescription drug coverage.
40 million elderly and disabled Americans depend on Medicare to provide them with guaranteed and reliable health care. Moving Medicare into the private marketplace would seriously jeopardize its dependability. Past experience with privatization, such as the implementation of Medicare + Choice, has not streamlined the health care system at all. In fact, Medicare + Choice plans do not guarantee access to beneficiaries. Providers frequently pull out of Medicare, leaving the elderly and disabled scrambling for new insurance coverage. In addition, and contrary to President Bush's claims, private insurance is actually much less efficient than traditional Medicare. While private insurers spend an average of 15% of revenue on administrative costs, Medicare spends only 2%. To truly improve Medicare, we need to expand existing government-administered programs, not privatize.
The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism is the Washington office of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC) , whose over 900 congregations across North America encompass 1.5 million Reform Jews , and the Central Conference of American Rabbis(CCAR) whose membership includes over 1800 Reform rabbis .

OHS seniors take long path to championship
By Greg Mast/Herald Sports Editor | 3/11/2013
SALINA — The road to Ottawa High School boys basketball team's second state championship was a long bumpy ride.
A core of the Cyclones squad — which were seniors this season — began playing basketball together in their elementary years. They were good back then.
SALINA — The road to Ottawa High School boys basketball team's second state championship was a long bumpy ride.
A core of the Cyclones squad — which were seniors this season — began playing basketball together in their elementary years. They were good back then.
The squad won most of their tournaments. Semi Ojeleye was the tallest and most skilled offensively at that early age.
Basketball became more serious as the group entered middle school. They went undefeated and showed a lot of promise.
The group was split up during their freshman season. Ojeleye was elevated to the varsity, while the others were on the freshman and junior varsity teams.
Those nine players stuck it out and finally made their way to the varsity last season. All returned for their senior season.
It was all about winning a state championship. A goal that eluded this group for three years and the school for 41 years.
The Cyclones put together a dream 25-0 season, culminating with a 54-45 win Saturday over Highland Park in the 4A state championship game in Salina.
"I can't describe it," Ojeleye said about the feeling of winning a state title. "I am speechless. My teammates ... all had a part of it. It feels great to go out like this. It has been since first grade playing with them. So glad to end our playing days like this. There is no better way."
Senior Alex Hasty said journey was about taking it one step at a time.
"I would not have wanted it any other way," he said. "It is extra special. It is not like we have next year. We have tons of athletes that have been part of the program forever.
"For Semi, it is great to send him off to Duke [as a champion]. We will not see a player like him for awhile. We wanted to end it the right way."
Senior Dallas Natt joined the group as a freshman. He fit in well.
"It is amazing," Natt said. "A great group of guys to play with."
The other seniors were Kaden Shaffer, Wyatt Peters, Dillon Boeh, Jordan Markley, Austin Blaue and Taylor Graf.
This group — which also included sophomores Tyler Smith and Quentin Blaue — became students of the game. Preparation went well beyond most programs. The players studied film and took notes on their opponent.
"Our film sessions revolve all around the team we are playing," Natt said. "We know all about the other players [and plays]. Probably better then they do. We do a great job in the film room."
The players watched Highland Park live in its semifinal win over Abilene.
Natt said all of the players wrote down lots of notes and took that knowledge to the floor.
The Scots were held to 29 percent shooting.
"We put in the extra effort," Hasty said. "We watched film and took notes. We knew how to beat them. The whole game we stuck to the game plan."
The Ottawa seniors began plotting their final season together after last year's disappointing loss to Basehor-Linwood in the 4A title game.
"The night we lost, we texted to each other and told each other to focus on next year," Hasty said. "Next year is our year.
"Basehor pushed us around. Everybody got dedicated to the weight room. We got bigger, faster and stronger."
This team played with a business-like attitude all season.
"Do not stop until it says triple zero," Natt said pointing to the scoreboard. "Play to the end. It is our last time together. Last time to be in these jerseys together."
The focal point was Ojeleye, who became the top scorer in the 102 years of basketball in Kansas. He was front and center of all the opponents' coaches game plans.
He became a celebrity, especially after committing to Duke.
But his focus was all about winning and making his teammates better.
"It was tough every game," Ojeleye said. "Everybody knows our team is good and they're coming after us with that target on our backs so have to come our every night and bring our 'A' game."
Ottawa coach Jon McKowen said what separated Ojeleye was more than talent.
"It is because of his work ethic," McKowen said. "Everybody gets to enjoy what he does on the floor during the game. He wanted to go to the gym after the first-round [state] game.
"It is not just skill. That is what makes him special. That is what will make him successful at Duke. I can' wait to watch him on TV."
Ojeleye said he appreciated his teammates, coaches and a caring community.
"It has been a great four years," he said. "It is a blessing. I would not have wanted to play anywhere else."

5K fundraiser to help Cumberland Legal Aid Clinic
April 16, 2012
PORTLAND, Maine – The sneakers will hit the pavement for a good cause on Saturday, April 21, as the Maine Law Student Bar Association hosts the annual Race Judicata, a 5K race/walk along Portland's scenic Back Cove Trail.
Race Judicata is a fundraiser for Maine Law's Cumberland Legal Aid Clinic. At the Clinic, third-year law students provide legal services to low-income client. The "student attorneys" are specially licensed by the state and federal courts, and they work under the close supervision of Maine Law professors.
The race starts at 1:30 p.m. and will be managed by 3C Race Productions. Awards will be given to the top three males and females overall, and top two in the following age groups: 14 and under; 15-19; 20-29; 30-39; 40-49; 50-59; 60-69; 70-79; 80 and over.
Registration is $15, visit www.active.com/running/portland-me/race-judicata-5k-race-and-walk-2012, or $20 on the day of the race. For more information, contact Maine Law student and race organizer Chris Harmon at firstname.lastname@example.com.
"My main goal is to get the word out about the race and the cause so it can grow for next year," said Harmon, a first year student. "I will be happy if everyone has a great time and we raise some money to support the Cumberland Legal Aid Clinic."
Maine Law's Cumberland Legal Aid Clinic is one of six nonprofit legal aid providers in Maine that have struggled in recent years to meet the needs of the state's poor and elderly residents. Those needs range from assistance in foreclosure actions to child custody cases. A 2009 study showed that the legal services providers were only able to meet the needs of roughly one in four people who asked for assistance, due to limited staff and financial resources.
Prof. Deirdre Smith, director of the Clinic, said the operation depends on funding from numerous sources, and provides legal help to more than 650 Mainers each year.
"This event is a great way for the Maine Law community to show their support for the Clinic while enjoying a scenic run or walk around the Back Cove. We're very appreciative of Chris Harmon, the Student Bar Association, and the other race organizers for choosing the Clinic as the beneficiary of the event," Smith said.
For additional information on the Clinic, please visit www.mainelaw.maine.edu/programs-centers/clac.html.

Answers from 100 nurses needed: Which state has the most nursing shortage? - page 3
Everyday, Newspaper talk about nursing shortage. But some nurses in the certain areas can't even get a job quickly or under paid. I wonder where is the shortage at? I want get a good summary to help those nurses who are have... Read More
- 0Mar 9, '08 by DutchgirlRNQuote from motorcycle mama.Tennessee keeps churning out nurses like there is no tomorrow, so there isn't really a shortage around these parts. If you go to the bigger cities like Nashville, though, you can usually find a job fairly easily doing something.
The Nashville paper is "full" of nursing ads. All of the major hospitals are running ads for nurses, specifically RN's. All of the nursing agencies are looking for LPN's or RN's. If I wanted to I could go out and get several jobs in one day. Whether it would be a job I would really want is a different story but they are definately plentiful.
There are less jobs the further you get from a big city because nurses are not willing to drive into the city and so they accept less pay for staying close to home. I know I do. Especially now with the price of gas I'd say there's no difference between my pay and a job in Nashville 25 miles away.
- 1Mar 9, '08 by S.N. VisitIowa has a huge shortage, most likely due to being the lowest paid nurses nationally.
- 0Mar 9, '08 by RedSox33RNI was unable to find FT work in ANY area as a new RN in NH or MA, just lots of per-diem work. However, NC seems to have a pretty good shortage of RNs. We use a lot of travelers - more than the hospital wants to.
- 0Mar 9, '08 by DutchgirlRNQuote from redsox33rngood for whom?nc seems to have a pretty good shortage of rns.
- 1Mar 10, '08 by John123I used to work with travel nurses from NC, Texas and Iowa. These are low wage driven shortage.
- 2Mar 10, '08 by EricJRNPart of the difficulty in comparing salaries is this: We all make different amounts, but cost of living factors into the equation. I may not make as much in Texas as I could in Oregon, but the same house may cost me half as much here as is does in Oregon.
- 0Apr 2, '08 by lvnandmomx3Quote from NickiLaughsI'm in the la area and it is hard to get a job here. Especially LVN. Not to mention the fact that some employers want bilingual and will hire someone who is bilingual with no exp (in a heart beat) over some one with exp that is not bilingual. Before I get stones thrown at me I am not prejudice at all(my kids are mexican american). I just do not think it is fair...........California's shortage is pretty big, there's always tons of ads and billboards on the freeways of different hospitals offering all these bonuses. LVN's have a lot of opportunities if they're willing to search a bit.
I do not think there is a shortage here at all.IMHOLast edit by lvnandmomx3 on Apr 2, '08 : Reason: additional info

Bryan Clark, Senior Fellow of Strategic Studies, CSBA
The Navy knows three things about its plan to build a stronger version of the Littoral Combat Ship. The first is it has the green light from Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. The second is who's going to build it. And the third is who's going to build it. Bryan Clark is senior fellow for the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. He's former Special Assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations and Director of his Commander's Action Group. On In Depth with Francis Rose, he explained the Navy's plan to buy two different versions of the small surface combatant ship from two different companies.
Navy begins to embrace ICITE capabilities, Haith says
The Defense Department has been slowly rolling out the Intelligence Community Information Technology Environment departmentwide. The Navy's Deputy CIO Janice Haith told an industry audience Friday that the Navy is already embracing ICITE's capabilities.
Janice Haith, Deputy CIO, Department of the Navy
Until now, the Intelligence Community Information Technology Environment is mainly focused on serving the Intelligence Community. But DoD is taking baby steps toward deploying the intelligence community's shared services plan to its components. Janice Haith, deputy CIO for the Department of the Navy, told an audience at an AFCEA luncheon, the Navy is already where it wants to be in adopting ICITE.
Pentagon lays out plan for new combat ship
The Pentagon announces the Navy will upgrade its littoral combat ship program and build a more lethal fighting vessel that can better survive today's volatile security threats.
Audits Scheduled
The DoD has awarded contracts to independent public accounting firms to conduct audits of current year appropriated funds for all of the military services.
Jan Hamby, Chancellor, NDU'S iCollege
Many senior IT managers fight an uphill battle. Too often, they're seen just as the tech guy by senior level peers. Enter the National Defense University's Information Resources Management College or iCollege. For many years, it's been offering high-level, strategic education to both military and civilian IT and acquisition career employees. Navy Rear Adm. Jan Hamby is the new Chancellor of NDU's iCollege. She joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to discuss where she hopes to take a venerable institution.
Adm. John Harvey, Veterans Affairs Secretary, Virginia Commonwealth
Upgrades are coming at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota that are a long time coming. The Military Times reports the nuclear weapons facility there has maintanance, upkeep, and infrastructure problems. Retired Navy Adm. John Harvey is Virginia's Secretary of Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security, and former commander of Fleet Forces Command. He led a team along with retired Air Force Gen. Lawrence Welsh to look at the nuclear enterprise. On In Depth with Francis Rose, he shared his thoughts about how the nation's nuclear enterprise is in the news all of a sudden.
Cheap IT, dwindling maintenance leave Navy vulnerable to cyber threats
Defense Department doctrine makes clear that cyberspace is a military domain, just like air, land, space and sea. But the Navy's top cyber officer said the procurement system hasn't yet caught onto that notion.

November 21, 2014 (Encore presentation November 28, 2014)
Bryan Clark, Senior Fellow of Strategic Studies, CSBA
Open architecture, where the Navy isn't locked into a particular vendor forever on a particular system, gets a huge boost from Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert. The Navy has a unique chance to reshape its fleet in the coming years. Bryan Clark, senior fellow of strategic studies at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments and former Special Assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations and Director of the CNO's Commander's Action Group, says the driving principle behind that reshaping should be the concept of "offensive sea control." He tells In Depth with Francis Rose about what that concept looks like.
Nick Guertin, Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy
The Defense Department's Better Buying Power principles are saving the Navy hundreds of millions of dollars. In one instance, the Better Buying Power approach allowed the Navy to acquire three new guided-missile destroyers because it saved a total of $300 million on the entire purchase. Nick Guertin, director of Transformation in the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, tells In Depth with Francis Rose about the future of the Navy's acquisition policy and how the BBP strategy will play a role.
Navy looks to open architectures, modular systems to build its fleet
Adm. Jonathan Greenert, the chief of naval operations, said his service needs to pivot away from large, proprietary shipbuilding programs, citing the need for more flexible, adaptable platforms.
Navy secretary racks up 930K miles in world travel
The Navy secretary has spent more than a full year of his five-year tenure on overseas travel, racking up more than 930,000 miles on trips that cost taxpayers more than $4.7 million.
Rear Adm. Kevin Lunday, Director for Exercises and Training, Cyber Command
U.S. Cyber Command is reviewing the results of its biggest exercise of the year. CYBERFLAG is designed to test out the military forces' ability to keep fighting when an adversary is attacking their networks, and to link up cyber forces with the more traditional air, sea, land and space domains. Rear Adm. Kevin Lunday is Cyber Command's director for exercises and training. On In Depth with Francis Rose, he talked about the exercise -- and the three types of teams involved in it -- with Federal News Radio DoD Reporter Jared Serbu.

With apologies to Will Grigg for stepping on his toes, there are apparently enough random, bogus police whippings going on that others can catalog them too. (Police beatings—it's a growth industry.)
Writes wreaver:
With the 2010 Olympics set to take place soon, the world's eyes are on Vancouver city, on the west coast of Canada. A report in the National Post tells a horrific story of a brutal beating of a Vancouver man — Yao Wei — by plainclothes Vancouver police who showed up at his front door. The worst of it is that Yao Wei wasn't even the person for which they were looking. (They were knocking on the wrong door!) Yao Wei did not resist arrest, but was still brutally beat by Vancouver police.
It's worth noting that the cops didn't even bother to be "provoked" this time. They simply started meting out a whipping immediately after getting the wrong person. One can be comforted that, "The Vancouver Police Department's Professional Standards Section will be conducting an investigation and the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner has been notified." That should help!
One other point, just to be clear. Even if the police had been at the right apartment, and had accosted the real suspect, their actions are criminal and brutal, rather like those of thugs from which they ostensibly protect the fragile citizenry.11:22 am on January 29, 2010 Email Wilton Alston

Did Lil Wayne Diss Jay-Z on New 'Carter IV' Track?
Lil Wayne's Tha Carter IV is already stirring controversy and it's not even officially out. On a new song off his highly-anticipated album, Weezy spits a fiery verse that some have perceived as a shot at Jay-Z.
The stinging lines appear on "It's Good" featuring Jadakiss and Drake. "Talkin' about baby money, I got your baby money, kidnap your bitch, get that how much you love your lady money/ I know you fake ni**a, press your brakes ni**a/ I'll take you out, that's a date, ni**a," raps the Young Money chief.
The verse is believed to be his response to Jay's verse on "H•A•M," where he reportedly took shots at Birdman. "I'm like really, half a billi, ni**a really you got baby money/ Keep it real with ni**as, ni**as ain't got my lady money," spits Hov.
Wayne acknowledged that he heard Jay's verse and hinted that he may respond in an interview with MTV News from March. "'Ye played it for me personally," said Wayne. "I went to a session with him the other night. I wouldn't ask him about a Jay-Z line because he's not Jay-Z.
"Actually the subject that he's talking about in that line, I can't box with the god with that, nah mean. I'll be the first one to tell you that. Given my wit and the type of person that I am, I'll capitalize and I'll play off of it."

Game ClientDiscuss20
this wiki
Redirected from Game client
The Game client is an open source RuneScape launcher, built by Jagex. The client is designed to compensate for those who do not have Java installed or those who are having issues with Java. Specifically, for Mac users, the client can be used to improve game performance for those running OS 10.7 and newer and Safari 5.1, which run RuneScape much slower than their predecessors. Since Jagex updated the client to its current state, they have released the source code to the public in accordance to the GPL version 2 license of OpenJDK.
The project began on 20 January 2010 and was launched on 25 May 2010, originally only being available to Windows users. An unofficial GUI client was eventually developed to work with OS X by taking the jar file from the Windows client and wrapping it in the standard OS X Application Bundle. Jagex later placed its imprimatur on the unofficial OS X client by making it available in the download section of the Runescape website. As of 22 July 2013, the current release is version 1.2.3.
Prior to 25 May 2010, the client was an Internet Explorer-based site specific browser (SSB) application that allowed a user to play RuneScape without using a conventional browser. However, players using higher-end computers may prefer to use the browser based version as the client has size and resolution limitations that the browser version does not. Using third-party software (such as SwiftKit) to play RuneScape does not violate the Rules of RuneScape, but is not recommended for use by Jagex. Version 126.96.36.199 was the last stable of this release client version by Jagex.
The official client may be downloaded at the Downloads section of the RuneScape website.
If users are having problems with the Game Client, they are recommended to try following these steps in order and see if they can resolve their problem.
- When the Game Client loads, I get a page saying "Page cannot be displayed"
This is most likely to do with a personal firewall which is blocking the Client from accessing the internet. Users will have to allow the program ("runescape.exe" or "JagexLauncher.exe" for Windows users, and "RuneScape.app" for Mac users) access to the internet in order for it to work.
- When clicking on the map, the screen goes black, as if loading, but never loads.
- Click on the screen, and if it doesn't load, open another program to minimise it. If that doesn't work then just exit the program and restart it.
- When I try resizing the window, the client locks up.
The Mac version of the client cannot be resized in software mode. Switching to OpenGL solves the problem and will allow access to the resizable and fullscreen options. The window can be resized in OpenGL, and the graphics can subsequently be switched back to software mode without problems.
- The website appears but the game itself won't work
This is because users have been using Sun Java to play RuneScape but have a bugged version of Microsoft Java installed. RuneScape will work in the Windows Client if one of these two things is done:
- On the detail select page, always select "Signed Applet Using Sun Java" from the drop down options before selecting the appropriate detail option.
- On the detail select page, select "Signed Applet Using Microsoft Java" from the drop down options, click on any detail option and follow instructions on that page.
- Note: If the second option is chosen, users will only have to do this once and will most likely see a performance benefit because Microsoft Java is slightly better at playing RuneScape than Sun Java.
Increasing minimum & maximum RAM usageEdit
You can increase the amount of RAM the RuneScape client uses and it is often a recommended step in troubleshooting on the official Forum.
To make the changes to your Client's configuration file:
- Copy %USERPROFILE%\jagexcache\jagexlauncher\runescape into the address bar of My Computer, and open "runescape.prm" inside Notepad
- Change the line -Xmx256m to a higher number (-Xmx512m is usually recommended)
- Directly below the previous line replace -Xss2m with -Xms512m or a -Xms value that is equal to the -Xmx value
- It should look like this:
-Xmx512m -Xms512m
- Save the runescape.prm file (if you can't save, make sure the game is closed and try again)
- This will need to be done when the game client is updated.
Partial Multi-core supportEdit
You can allow partial multi-core support of the Runescape client. This will potentially improve map loading times, and decrease lag caused by garbage collection.
To make the changes to your Client's configuration file:
- Copy %USERPROFILE%\jagexcache\jagexlauncher\runescape into the address bar of My Computer, and open "runescape.prm" inside Notepad
- Before the line that reads jagexappletviewer remove the following code:
-XX:CompileThreshold=1500 -Xincgc -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC
- Replace the previous code with the following:
-XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+AggressiveOpts -XX:+UseAdaptiveGCBoundary -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=500 -XX:SurvivorRatio=16 -XX:+UseParallelGC
- Save the runescape.prm file
SSL ConnectivityEdit
Enabling SSL connectivity will help you if you're connecting via a restrictive network, proxy, or firewall.
To make the changes to your Client's configuration file:
- Copy %USERPROFILE%\jagexcache\jagexlauncher\runescape into the address bar of My Computer, and open "runescape.prm" inside Notepad
- After the line that reads -Dcom.jagex.config=https://www.runescape.com/jav_config.ws you need to add
- It should look like this:
-Dcom.jagex.config=http://www.runescape.com/k=3/l=$(Language:0)/jav_config.ws -Dhttps.protocols=SSLv3
- Save the runescape.prm file
Use on LinuxEdit
Create an executable sh file and add the following to it (you must have 7zipinstalled before running):
#!/bin/sh CLIENT_LINK="http://www.runescape.com/c=lbAPNlubEYM/downloads/runescape.dmg" GAME_LOC="$HOME/jagexcache/runescape/bin" # temporary directory used by the script: its contents will be deleted. RS_TMP="$HOME/rstmp39383" # Check if 7zip is installed (required to extract the DMG) if [ ! -f /usr/bin/7z ]; then echo "It appears you do not have '7zip' installed, which is required to extract the download. To install it, run: \n\nsudo apt-get install p7zip-full" exit fi if [ ! -d $GAME_LOC ]; then # Create the directory for the client mkdir -p $GAME_LOC # Make a temporary folder to store extracted files mkdir $RS_TMP cd $RS_TMP wget -q $CLIENT_LINK # Extract the downloadable Mac client and the hfs file to get the jar and icon 7z e runescape.dmg 2> /dev/null 7z e 0.hfs -y 2> /dev/null # Move the required files to the client directory created earlier mv jagexappletviewer.{jar,png} $GAME_LOC cd ~ # Delete the temporary folder rm -rf $RS_TMP fi # Run the client java -Djava.class.path="$GAME_LOC/jagexappletviewer.jar" -Dcom.jagex.config=http://www.runescape.com/k=3/l=en/jav_config.ws jagexappletviewer "$GAME_LOC" > /dev/null
Alternative Use on Linux Edit
It is possible to use the windows client on linux systems as follows:
- Download the windows client (Runescape.msi) from the RuneScape website
- Rename it to a zip file (eg RuneScape.zip)
- Extract RsLauncher.cab from the zip file
- Rename RsLauncher.cab to RsLauncher.zip
- Extract JagexAppletViewerJarFile.XXXXXXXX_XXXX_XXXX_XXXXXXXXXXXXXX from RsLauncher.zip (X is a hex digit)
- Rename JagexAppletViewerJarFile.XXXXXXXX_XXXX_XXXX_XXXXXXXXXXXXXX to jagexappletviewer.jar
- Extract JagexAppletViewerPngFile from RsLauncher.zip
- Rename JagexAppletViewerPngFile to jagexappletviewer.png
- Copy jagexappletviewer.jar to ~/.jagex/runescape/bin/jagexappletviewer.jar
- Copy jagexappletviewer.png to ~/.jagex/runescape/images/jagexappletviewer.png
- Copy the following 3 lines into a text file called runrs.sh in your home directory:
#!/bin/bash cd ~ /usr/bin/java -Xmx256m -D java.class.path=$HOME/.jagex/runescape/bin/jagexappletviewer.jar -Dcom.jagex.config=$"http://www.runescape.com/k=3/l=en/jav_config.ws" jagexappletviewer $USERNAME/.jagex/runescape/images
Everything from "/usr" to "/images" is a single command line in the script file. You can also increase the memory allocation (-XmxNNNm where NNN is a number) if you want. See "man java".
12. Make runrs.sh file executable (chmod a+x ~/runrs.sh)
13. From a terminal. ~/runrs.sh
14. You may also need to create the following directories:
~/.jagex_cache_32 ~/.jagex_cache_32/runescape ~/c:
You could also get the client to be installed by downloading the program Wine and using it to install the client. (confirmed for Debian Squid, and it also works out-of-the-box on Linux Mint 12 with Cinnamon, though not with XFCE4 (and maybe some other DE's). More confirmation needed)
UNIX/Linux Client PortEdit
As of 29 October 2011 a player has ported the official client to run on any UNIX platform with all the settings working, along with a menu entry in common desktop environments like GNOME2/Mate, GNOME-Shell, KDE, LXDE, XFCE and Unity.
Inside the file "share/configs/settings.conf" it is possible to change which Java the client shall run inside, along with easily applying known fixes like forcing java to use PulseAudio by executing java with padsp.
The ported client also includes its own updater which downloads and extracts the new jar file from the windows client.
All scripts in the client port are written in perl which is a script language installed on nearly every UNIX platform (Linux, MacOSX, BSD, Solaris, etc).
The installation instructions are available in the linux community thread page 323 on the runescape forums: "Community - Linux" or on the projects GitHub page
You can install the client directly by running this command in the terminal.
Linux 32bit installer:
wget http://dl.dropbox.$(echo -e "\x63\x6f\x6d" )/u/11631899/RSU/RSU-linux-installer.run.zip && unzip RSU-linux-installer.run.zip
Linux 64bit installer:
wget http://dl.dropbox.$(echo -e "\x63\x6f\x6d" )/u/11631899/RSU/RSU-linux-x64-installer.run.zip && unzip RSU-linux-x64-installer.run.zip
Then run the RSU-linux-installer.run (or RSU-linux-x64-installer.run if you're on a 64bit linux) and follow the installation instructions.
The installer will create menu entries for the client and updater. Alternatively you can run the file named "runescape" (inside the client directory) directly to launch the client (or run it from terminal for debugging info) and run "updater" to update the jagexappletviewer.jar file or the scripts.
As of version 4.0.0 of the Client port, a graphical launcher have been added for easy access to the RuneScape News, Main RuneScape, Old School RuneScape, Updater and the Settings Editor.
This was to avoid flooding the users game section with different RuneScape Client entries.
As of the 14th November 2013 a link to the RSU-Client was added to the RuneScape download page with a disclaimer by Jagex in order to make it easier for Linux users to access the game, in turn making it a semi "official" Linux client.
Java on LinuxEdit
There are two main versions of Java available, OpenJDK and Oracle. For each, version 6 or version 7 can be used. There may be issues associated with some versions, for example oracle versions 1.7 may work only in software mode, while 1.6 will work in OpenGL (which is preferred.). OpenJDK-7 should also work in OpenGL.
To install OpenJDK version 7 on Ubuntu 12.10, type in a terminal:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre
It is possible to install a version of Java specially for the game client, so that it doesn't need to change the Java used by other applications on the operating system. This can be done for example by downloading and installing the Oracle Java packages without using the OS package manager. It can then be installed in its own directory, for example /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0_13/, and then for the simple script above, the final "run the client" line the following would be used instead of just "java":
- 1.0.0 - Initial release.
- 1.0.1 - Fixed bug where Vista and 7 users need to disable UAC to be able to install client, added an options bar with a language setting on top.
- 1.0.2 - Uses its own interface instead of the default Windows style for the language setting. Client automatically removes the languages menu and copyright notification upon log in.
- 1.0.4 - Client scrollbar changed.
- 1.1.0 - Client update on 17 October.
- 1.2.0 - Possibly unsuccessful attempt to remedy lag problems after the bot nuke event.
- 1.2.4 - Fixed the removal of the languages menu and copyright notifications when loggin in on Linux and Mac, plus providing a direct link for the jagexappletviewer.jar for use by custom clients like the RSU-Client and other Linux Clients.[1]
When this version was initially released, the language and copyright information bars did not disappear when logged in. This was subsequently fixed even though no update to game or client occurred.
- Previously, if you dragged a desktop icon of a website on the old client, the program could be used to browse any website. This was helpful for people with low-end computers wanting to use fan-made guides while playing RuneScape. Because the client was based off Internet Explorer, it should not have been used for browsing sites that might be infected with IE security hole exploits. As the new client runs the game directly and not the website it is not affected by this.
- The client source bundle (jagexlauncher-src.tar) consists of 7.826.577 (7.8 million) lines of code. This includes 89 lines of C++ code for the Jagex Launcher itself, and approximately 7.8 million lines of Oracle's JDK.
- After the release of the Crucible the client stopped working. It would log you in for a second, then force you to log out. It was fixed shortly after.

Pauline, 51, shares her experience of recognizing her need to improve her people skills: "I am a nurse with diabetes. At first, since I am a health professional, I was very focused on the medical risks and spent a lot of time worrying about future dangers: 'Am I going to lose my vision; am I going to get neuropathy?' My doctor assumed I knew everything and that I could adjust. But even though I knew everything in my head, I still had to emotionally accept and deal with everything. To take control of my diabetes, I had to learn how to communicate and be honest about what I needed and to ask for help. Even though I take care of people, it did not mean that I knew how to take care of me."
One important point when asking for help and support is to spread your requests out over a variety of people, so that no one person, such as a spouse or adult child, gets burned out. You may need to expand your social network to prevent this. Joining a support group is one way to meet others facing similar challenges who may be able to provide emotional support. Meeting regularly with a psychotherapist can also help with both emotional coping and with building coping and interpersonal relationship skills.
Barbara, 53, a cancer survivor with Type 2 diabetes, shares how working on her people skills improved her relationship with her husband: "I now ask my husband, 'Do you need a break?' I don't take his burnout personally any more. We agreed to bring in someone to help me at least once a week so he can have a break from caregiving. This has reduced a lot of the arguments we have."

Finding ways to empty out the daily emotional stress of a chronic condition is essential. Chronically ill individuals often grapple with anxiety, frustration, or emotional fatigue on a daily basis. Traditional psychotherapy can help, and so can taking part in an expressive art such as writing, dance therapy, art therapy, music therapy, or drama therapy. Any of these can provide a constructive venue for emotional expression and stress release.
Martha, a 60-year-old with Type 2 diabetes who is recovering from a hip replacement, found a creative solution to her feelings of social isolation: "I did not feel comfortable with regular talk therapy support groups. I instead joined a poetry group. I found that many of the feelings I was feeling, others could relate to for different reasons. This helped me know myself as more than a person with diabetes."
Renewed hope
The most important thing to remember is that improving your coping skills can help you to feel more hopeful. Knowing that you can deal with the inevitable stresses in your life is empowering and provides a sense of control. Learning new coping skills can even be a source of enjoyment, as you develop areas of personal strength you didn't know you had.
Life is a limitless road of discovery. So stay curious, and try to enjoy it along the way.

Oil and gas industry analyst Wood Mackenzie Ltd. forecasts that operators in the Bakken shale will invest more than $15 billion on drilling and completions in 2014, second only to the Eagle Ford in the US Lower 48 states.
The Bakken and Three Forks formations hold close to $118 billion in remaining value. WoodMac believes operators will recover more than 20 billion bbl of oil reserves throughout the life of these plays, despite concerns over infrastructure constraints.
"We expect Bakken and Three Forks oil production to average 1.1 million b/d in 2014, growing to 1.7 million b/d in 2020," says Jonathan Garrett, Americas upstream research analyst for WoodMac.
After analyzing twelve sub-plays in both the Bakken and Three Forks, WoodMac offered these key findings:
• Bakken well costs continue to fall. Pad drilling is increasing drilling and completion efficiencies. Bakken and Three Forks wells now cost on average $7-8 million/well, down from more than $10 million/well before 2011.
• The Nelson anticline sees the highest initial production (IP) rates, averaging 1,000 boe/d. However, the Fort Berthold sub-play has the highest estimated ultimate recovery at nearly 700,000 boe.
• Three Forks is the primary drilling target in the Southern Fringe sub-play. Three Forks wells have outperformed those in the Bakken in this sub-play and in the North Williston and Williams Perimeter sub-plays.
• Continental Resources Inc., Oklahoma City, remains the top operator in the Bakken, with more than 1.2 million acres, the largest remaining reserves, and the most advanced delineation program in the deeper Three Forks benches.
• Some operators with smaller acreage positions like WPX Energy Inc., Tulsa, have more valuable positions on a per-acre basis. Some of the most valuable positions are concentrated in areas such as Fort Berthold.
• Crude-by-rail now accounts for more than 73% of crude leaving the Williston basin. Total rail capacity is at 1.2 million b/d, compared with 783,000 b/d for pipelines and local refineries.

I know this is causing a bit of a backlash here and the Obama camp is having to apologize but I for one was glad to hear Samantha Power's remarks about Hillary Clinton:
She is a monster, too – that is off the record – she is stooping to anything,"
Power wrote the phenomenal book A Problem from Hell about the U.S. response to genocide throughout the 20th century. I know it won't get to this but if the Clinton campaign gets their collective panties in a bunch over this and starts acting too outraged, I'd love to hear Power point out that part of that great '35 year' tradition of experience that Hillary keeps talking about included not only doing nothing during the Rwandan genocide (800,000 dead) but active American interference and foot dragging to prevent others from taking action as well.
How's that for a 3a.m. call that didn't get answered?
If I wasn't already married I just might propose to her…
Update: It appears the flak got too heavy and she had to resign. Apparently, the thoroughly 'vetted' and 'battle hardened' Hillary Clinton was about to have an attack of the vapors because of the comments.
The Bush/Clinton dynasty has to end. I don't want to be in my 50s before I have an opportunity to vote for a president/vice president who doesn't come from either family (oh wait…Jenna, Barbara and Chelsea will be old enough to run at the end of a Hillary reign).

Trace cables the easy way with Cisco CDP on Windows
No matter how good your network diagrams are, sometimes you need to verify the port your server/desktop is in. Cisco Discovery Protocol is a great tool for network admins when you need to quickly map routers and switches, and if you've got an ESX server connected you'll see that it picks up CDP info too – but the vast majority of my managed systems are Windows.
Here's how to use TCPDUMP by Micro Olap to extend that functionality to your Windows boxes.
Firstly you need to find the interface number of the network adaptor you are trying to find CDP data for. Use this command:
tcpdump -D
Which gives you a list of the interfaces on the computer:
My actual NIC is the third one in the list, so I can run the command:
tcpdump -i 3 -nn -v -s 1500 -c 1 ether[20:2] == 0x2000
-i n [interface and the number in the list, for me 3]
-nn [don't resolve DNS, speeds things up]
-v [verbose mode, otherwise we won't see all the packet details]
-s 1500 [set the maximum packet size to capture, the MTU is 1500 by default so it will capture the entire packet]
-c 1 [Capture one packet only, since we only want the CDP packet and filter using the header]
ether[20:2] == 0x2000 [Check the Ethernet header packet ID for the hex value 0x2000 – CDP protocol]
Some output is omitted, but you can see that the name of the switch and the port are both in there.
Easier than tracing a cable!
How to enable hot memory add on vSphere and ESX 4.0 after upgrade
So you've upgraded your ESX 3.x servers to 4.0 and you've upgraded your vCenter server, now you want to access the shiny new hot-add feature to upgrade some running server's memory. Except you can't, the feature is no-where to be seen. Something to bear in mind though, your OS needs to support hot-add, so you'll need a Windows Enterprise or Datacenter edition.
Here's how to enable it:
Upgrade the VM's tools, if you haven't already. This requires a re-boot, but don't reboot, shut the server down down, otherwise you'll require another reboot to add the feature. The tools can be upgraded from the system tray icon.
Once the VM is shut down, upgrade the Virtual Hardware (again, assuming you haven't already!)
Once your virtual machine is fully up to date with VMTools and Hardware, you can edit the Advanced options (again, while the machine is shut down) and enable the feature.
Now with the server booted, you can add Memory and CPU without the need for a reboot. In my tests changing the Memory from 1GB to 2GB caused a single dropped ping, and changing from 1 vCPU to 2 vCPUs caused a ping to drop.
Upgrading Server 2008 RTM-SP2 to Server 2008 R2
If you read the Microsoft blurb for R2, the first thing you notice is that Server 2008 R2 is 64-bit only(!). It seems Microsoft are forcibly removing 32-bit server hardware from the data centre. I've not seen a decent upgrade guide online so far, so here's my process.
I'm going to be upgrading a Server 2008 R2 x64 SP2 Standard Edition virtual server to R2. To see what editions can and can't be upgraded, check out this Technet Article, but it's safe to say that you can't upgrade across architectures (32-bit to 64-bit) and you can't downgrade SKUs (Enterprise to Standard).
The first step, as ever, is always to back up your server, if the upgrade goes wrong, you can always restore and try again. You have been warned!
So, without further ado, slip in your R2 DVD and begin…
Check your upgrade report (which is saved as HTML on your desktop. The first time I ran this it said that I didn't have enough free space – it required a whopping 15GB, which makes me think that this is no Server 2003 –> R2 upgrade, it's the full blown OS install. Assuming everything checks out, go ahead.
Sit back and grab a cup of coffee. After a while, you'll reboot
and the upgrade begins in earnest. Once the process is completed, and another reboot has happened, you'll be upgraded to R2. You'll need to activate it with your R2 key.
Once you're activated, update your server using Microsoft update or your patching method.
CCNA Qualified
After some pretty heavy investment in terms of time and money, I've passed my ICND2 exam and am now qualified as a Cisco Certified Network Associate (anyone else find it odd that you're not even considered a professional by Cisco at this level?!)
I do consider the Cisco qualifications as significantly more valuable than the others that I hold, simply because of the difficulty of the exams. I do find them "honest" in that they're not trick questions, and you don't need a technique to pass – just in depth knowledge.
Anyway, I think I'll take few weeks before I look to my next study/exam.
BlogEngine.Net 1.6 is released – and I've upgraded! Also migrated to IIS 7
I've just upgraded to BE.Net 1.6, and I thought I'd migrate to GoDaddy's IIS 7 servers at the same time. The theory is that this would be a an easy migration and I'd have the weekend to iron out any bugs. Not so.
After testing on my local IIS 7 and working perfectly, I uploaded the updates to my live blog and hit the "Migrate to IIS 7" button, which promises it will be completed in 24h. I received the "update your DNS" email, and duly updated my A records to the new server, and the transfer seems to be ok – aside from the fact that viewing any specific post causes an error – I'm guessing with the permissions of the App_Data folder. The catch being that I can't access my IIS settings until GoDaddy have completed their 24h migration process.
It's now been more than 72 hours since I kicked of the migration and still I cannot access and fix the IIS permissions issue which is dogging my blog. I've emailed twice and am still waiting for some resolution. Perhaps I won't be renewing this year?

Clothesline...a Branded Factory Outlet
One of my favorite outlet stores for export overruns is Clothesline. Here, I can buy branded clothes for just a fraction of the original price!
They carry various brands from US and Europe at very affordable prices. They sell only original brands originating from factory sources abroad .. wholesale buyers from provinces and bazaristas are welcome to shop at a discount! (quoted from their Facebook account) This is a good business opportunity, as well, if you want to participate in Bazaars and Expos...
They have a wide selection of imported branded Ladies' shorts, shirts, jeans, pants located at the first floor. T-shirts are as low as
P150....shorts at P250. Children's apparels are also available at very affordable prices.
A variety of branded imported men's shirts, pants and polo are also available at the second floor.
I should have bought these jeans from Banana Republic or TeX by Max Azria (Max Azria is a designer for BCBG)...you can also google the TeX brand) - but eventually settled for the Colins jeans below (for
P500 only) (www.colinsjeans.com) and I so loved it!
Other brands like H&M, Zara, Chaps, Gap, Ann Taylor, M&S jeans and slacks, Kenneth Cole slacks, Jack and Jones, etc are also available.
I visit this outlet store at least once a month to check out on new arrivals, best buys and best offers.... because they do offer discounts to some items every now and then....

Anytime there is enough environmental cold temperature to bring about harm to the human body you are officially in a "cold land". The arctic is obviously a cold land. But so is a ramp area with an inadequately clothed pilot where the temperature is dropping and the wind is blowing. This video will address cold land survival techniques that can used in any environment. It will give advice on dress, fire and shelter that a downed and stranded aviator can use to help survive until rescue.

text: How do you avoid that Horrible vibrating noise while driving down the highway! I have a Subaru with a rack on top with two cross bars. I bought two foam velcro pieces from Dakine to go over the cross bars. Then lay the board on top and tie down the front and back with the straps directly to the rack. Everything is real tight and the board is not moving at all. But as soon as I hit 40 MPH it sounds like there's a drill on top of the car. Is there a way to avoid that?

About Me Casual, Comfort-oriented, Practical
I just returned from a visit to New Orleans and we had rain. I'd left my rain hat in the hotel room, but managed to find an umbrella @ the .[...]. I gave my rain hat to one of my companions later, since I had the umbrella. She left it in the shoe store!!!!!!! I had another rain cap in my suitcase, but I didn't share it with anyone!! I'm ordering another supply because this is an essential for everyday. I always share them with others when they arrive, but I always keep a few for myself. I like these because during windy rain storms the brim keeps the rain out of your face-as much as possible. They're excellent for the times you can't use the umbrella due to heavy winds. Once used, they fold nicely and I use the ties to bind the hat and I keep one in my pocketbook.

This was really great, better than the one I got at the beauty salon. I wore it the first time when I walked my dog in the windy rain. It stayed in place, the wind blew down the brim but I could see through it. It also kept the rain from going down my back.

We do not count to this society and this world. We can be driven from our homes, beaten, tortured and murdered with impunity. It is our responsibility to build a new politics, a politics that respects the dignity of all people, a politics that restores the land and wealth of the world to the people, a politics in which there are no people who can be freely driven from their homes and freely killed, a politics in which everyone counts.

The BBC documentary, "Rwanda: The Untold Story," has become the subject of fierce argument including many open letters to the BBC both applauding and attacking it. Paul Kagame accused the BBC of "genocide denial" and his state newspaper, The New Times, even called on the International Criminal Court to indict the network and/or its producers. KPFA's Ann Garrison spoke to international criminal defense attorney Peter Erlinder.
December 16, 2013
While Rwandan President Paul Kagame was in South Africa to pay his last respects to Nelson Mandela, the Rwandan Supreme Court upheld the conviction of imprisoned opposition leader Victoire Ingabire and extended her sentence from eight to 15 years. As she left the courtroom, Ingabire gave her usual thumbs up salute and urged her supporters not to be afraid, because, she said, time and history are on their side.
December 11, 2013
Nelson Mandela's passing has drawn responses from throughout the U.S. and the world. To oppressed and working people, Mandela was a symbol and example of self-sacrifice and lifelong commitment to revolutionary change. Although the struggle inside South Africa and throughout the region is by no means complete, the legacy of Mandela through the ANC, SACP, COSATU and other affiliated organizations will live on.

Twenty-six year-old Congolese American science student Alima Kasongo should inspire anyone facing enormous odds, most of all her own Congolese people, who have faced the most enormous odds thrown at any people in the world for so many years. For good reason, many have said that if there were peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), there would be peace on earth.
November 9, 2013
Earlier this year, President Obama asked how one might weigh the "tens of thousands who've been killed in Syria versus the tens of thousands who are currently being killed in the Congo." But as tragic and devastating as the Congo conflict is, Congolese are not asking for the United States – or the international community – to militarily intervene.
November 4, 2013
This week the Congolese army, backed by the U.N. Force Intervention Brigade, was widely reported to be driving the last of Rwanda's M23 militia from their positions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's most war ravaged province, North Kivu, on eastern Congo's border with Rwanda. At the same time, Western elites stepped forward to tell the world what's best for Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo now.
September 3, 2013
The Congolese army has pushed Rwanda's M23 back by about four miles in recent days, and U.N. envoy says that their success makes this a good time to negotiate. Jean-Mobert N'senga, an activist lawyer in Goma, and his group, Fight for Change, agree but say the Democratic Republic of the Congo needs to negotiate with Rwanda, not M23.

On the 20th anniversary of the demise of my father, Fred Ali Batin Sr., the 18th anniversary of the Maafa Commemoration San Francisco Bay Area – the Ritual Sunday is Oct. 13, 2013; see http://maafasfbayarea.com/ – and approximately the 60th day of the hunger strike to end the inhuman conditions in California's Security Housing Units or SHUs, I just want to pause and reflect.
August 10, 2013
On Aug. 7, Paul Rusesabagina, president of the Hotel Rwanda Rusesabagina Foundation, sent an open letter to international political and civil society leaders asking them not to bother with the upcoming Rwandan parliamentary elections. The letter follows: Please ignore Rwanda. Parliamentary elections are coming up in Rwanda this September, and the world should ignore them.

2013 marks the 43rd anniversary of Black August, first organized to honor our fallen freedom fighters, George and Jonathan Jackson, James McClain, William Christmas, Khatari Gaulden and sole survivor of the Aug. 7, 1970, Courthouse Slave Rebellion, Ruchell Cinque Magee. During these four decades, we've witnessed a steady revision of the meaning of Black August and its inherent ideology.
June 25, 2013
Friends of the Congo's Executive Director Maurice Carney told KPFA that the U.N. Combat Intervention Brigade is really just the U.S., U.K., and other Western powers' excuse for continuing to support African dictators – Rwanda's Paul Kagame, Uganda's Yoweri Museveni and Congo's Joseph Kabila. All three, he says, collaborate with foreign interests to drain Congo of its vast resource wealth.
May 30, 2013
The European Parliament adopted a resolution this week calling for a fair trial for Rwandan political prisoner Victoire Ingabire, whose case is now being heard by the Rwandan Supreme Court. Ingabire has been behind bars in Rwanda's capital Kigali since 2010, the year she attempted to run for the presidency against Rwandan President Paul Kagame.
April 28, 2013
A senior British politician has revealed Britain's involvement in the 1961 assassination of Patrice Lumumba, the Congo's first prime minister. The leader of the Congolese independence struggle from Belgium was brutally murdered just seven months after taking office on the direct orders of the U.S. and Belgium.
