Salil Shetty, Secretary General
Change, courage and conflict all characterized 2011 – a year in which people rose up in protest against governments and other powerful actors in numbers not seen for decades. They protested against the abuse of power, lack of accountability, growing inequality, deepening poverty and the absence of leadership at every level of government. The contrast between the courage of protesters demanding rights and the failure of leadership to match that courage with concrete actions to build stronger societies based on respect for human rights was painfully apparent.
At first it appeared that protest and unrest would be restricted to countries in which discontent and repression were predictable. But as the year progressed, it was clear that the failure of governments to ensure justice, security and human dignity was igniting protest across the world. From New York and Moscow to London and Athens, from Dakar and Kampala to La Paz and Cuernavaca, from Phnom Penh to Tokyo, people took to the streets.
In the Middle East and North Africa, the initial spark was one young man's outrage and despair in Tunisia which fed by the anger of thousands of protesters engulfed the country and brought down the government of President Ben Ali. As protests spread through the region, Western governments were caught off guard. They knew that the protesters' outrage at repression and lack of economic opportunities was well-founded, but they did not want to lose their "special relationship" with repressive governments which they saw as insurance against instability in a strategic region with significant oil and gas reserves.
Governments' responses to peaceful protests in the region have been brutal and often deadly. The number of people killed, injured or imprisoned for exercising their rights steadily grew. Tens of thousands have been displaced and some made the perilous journey across the Mediterranean Sea in search of refuge. The spectre of significant numbers of refugees from North Africa led to even more xenophobic rhetoric from some of Europe's politicians.
In Egypt, it has been more than a year since former President Hosni Mubarak stepped down and the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) assumed control in what it pledged was a transitional role. Many believe SCAF are instigating or failing to prevent violence in order to legitimize the argument that only a state run by the military is strong enough to ensure security.
But perhaps what is most disturbing in Egypt is that more than 12,000 civilians have been prosecuted by the military or been brought before the military judiciary – more than during Mubarak's 30-year rule. The lifting of the emergency law, a major tool of abuse, was a key demand of protesters. However, the interim government, like the Mubarak government, claim they need its special powers to ensure security.
Another practice carried over from the Mubarak government is the forced eviction of people living in informal settlements. The vast majority of deaths during the 25 January Revolution were among marginalized communities including those who live in informal settlements or slums. Egyptians have lived for decades with the government's version of security – they deserve better.
Women in particular have fared badly under military rule. In March 2011, a group of young women who had been protesting in Tahrir Square were arrested by the security forces. They were then subjected to forced virginity tests and threatened by the military. In December, an Egyptian administrative court ruled the practice illegal and ordered an end to detainees being subjected to forced virginity tests. This was a positive step, but the promotion of women's rights and gender equality has a long way to go even though women are playing a central role in the protests. When Amnesty International asked the various political parties in Egypt to commit to protect basic human rights principles such as freedom of expression and assembly, abolition of the death penalty, religious freedom, non-discrimination and gender equality – the two parties that won a majority in the parliamentary elections fell short. The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, which won 235 seats (47 per cent), failed to respond to Amnesty International's request. The Salafist Al-Nur party, which came second with 121 seats (24 per cent), declined to promote women's rights or the abolition of the death penalty.
In Libya, Colonel Mu'ammar al-Gaddafi responded to street protests by vowing to destroy the protesters, whom he repeatedly called "rats." He and his son, Saif al-Islam – previously the "champion of reform in Libya" – declared open season on anyone they deemed unfaithful to the regime. The UN Security Council's unprecedented referral of Libya to the International Criminal Court sent a strong signal about the importance of accountability. Nonetheless, the country spiralled into armed conflict. By the time al-Gaddafi was killed in custody in October, his forces had abducted and tortured thousands of captured opposition fighters and other detainees. Hundreds of thousands of people had fled the conflict, resulting in mass displacement. Libya remains unstable: the National Transitional Council is not in effective control of the country and torture, extrajudicial executions, other forms of reprisals and forcible displacement continue.
Iran continued the crackdown that began after the 2009 elections and demonstrated its willingness to arrest virtually anyone identified as challenging President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The government closely control the media, newspapers are banned and websites and foreign satellite television channels blocked. Protests against government policies are violently dispersed and government critics are arbitrarily arrested and detained yet people continue to defend their right to freedom of expression.
The world has witnessed this pattern of protest and deadly response in country after country. In Bahrain, the government repressed demonstrations backed by the military might of Saudi Arabia. In June, Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State, reiterated US support for the country, calling Bahrain an "important partner" despite overwhelming evidence of the government's use of deadly force against peaceful protesters and the imprisonment and torture of opposition leaders. Her muted criticism reflected the US government's desire to ensure that Bahrain continues to provide a home port for the 5th Fleet, even if it means ignoring egregious human rights violations.
In Yemen, President Ali Abdullah Saleh also refused to relinquish power even after being seriously wounded in a bomb attack. He repeatedly backtracked after entering agreements for the transfer of power despite countrywide protests demanding his removal. Finally, in November 2011, he ceded power in exchange for immunity from prosecution for the crimes committed during his rule and the uprising against it. Ali Abdullah Saleh left power in the hands of Vice-President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who was installed as the new President during uncontested elections in February 2012.
In Syria, President Bashar al-Assad stubbornly clung to power in the face of widespread popular uprisings against his repressive rule. Thousands of civilians have been killed or injured and many more displaced. The Syrian military's use of tanks to shell the city of Homs demonstrated a complete disregard for the lives of local residents. Members of the Syrian army who have defected and fled the country report being ordered to kill people who were engaged in peaceful protests or in some cases, just walking down the street. The Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict reported in February 2012 that hundreds of children have been killed during the uprising and children as young as 10 years old have been arrested, detained and tortured.
The international community has a crucial role to play in establishing justice and security for people of the region. Yet, to date, international action has been largely inadequate.
The international community has struggled to respond effectively. Fear, opportunity, hypocrisy and good intentions all featured in the debate.
In 2011, the Arab League was thrust into the limelight as it sought to resolve issues in several countries in the region. Their support for the UN Security Council resolution on Libya was crucial in ensuring that none of the five permanent members exercised their veto. But, undoubtedly at odds with some of its members' concern that the protests would spread to their countries, the Arab League failed to bring an end to repression and brutality.
As the situation in Syria deteriorated, the Arab League arranged for a monitoring mission to travel to the country. But the legitimacy of the mission was immediately called into question when the Arab League named General Mohammed Ahmed Mustafa al-Dabi, former head of Sudan's military intelligence, to head the mission. Under al-Dabi's watch, the military intelligence was responsible for the arbitrary arrest and detention, enforced disappearance, and torture of numerous people in Sudan. The mission suspended its activities in late January 2012 because the violence made it impossible for the monitors to fulfil their role. A later attempt to introduce peacekeepers also failed. Former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan was appointed as the joint UN-Arab League envoy on the Syrian crisis in late February.
When the Arab League called on the UN Security Council to fulfil its role of maintaining international peace and security, Russia and China, citing the principle of state sovereignty, vetoed a resolution that called for an end to the violence and for President al-Assad to step down. Russia also justified its veto by criticizing the NATO intervention in Libya for overstepping its mandate to protect civilians.
There is nothing new about veto power being used to subvert international peace and security. Russia (and earlier the USSR) and the USA have cast more than 200 vetoes between them - many with obvious political ramifications. Failure of the UN Security Council to act effectively on Syria, following hard on the heels of its failure to intervene in the case of Sri Lanka, raises serious questions about whether it has the political will to safeguard international peace and security. It also serves to remind those who seek the UN's protection that the international system of governance is utterly devoid of accountability. It seems that the permanent members of the UN Security Council defend state sovereignty when it shields their own behaviour from scrutiny, or helps maintain their special (and profitable) relationships with repressive governments.
Russia's veto of the UN Security Council resolution was followed by reports of continuing arms sales by Russia's state arms trader, Rosoboronexport, to the Syrian government, including a deal to sell combat jets. A former Syrian Minister of Defence auditor who defected in January 2012 reported that the sale of Russian arms to Syria had increased sharply since the uprising began.
It is perhaps not surprising that the five permanent members of the UN Security Council are also the world's largest conventional arms trading countries. Together they accounted for at least 70 per cent of all major weapon exports in 2010: the USA (30 per cent), Russia (23 per cent), France (8 per cent), the United Kingdom (4 per cent) and China (3 per cent). Throughout the world, the irresponsible flow of arms from these five countries has led to countless civilian deaths as well as other serious violations of human rights and the laws of war.
Amnesty International documented how Western European governments, the USA and Russia authorized the supply of munitions, military hardware and police weapons to Bahrain, Egypt, Libya, Syria and Yemen in the years of brutal repression leading up to the popular uprisings. These exports could have been prevented if those supplier states had lived up to their declared policy of avoiding arms exports that could contribute to serious human rights violations.
The question remains, can the very countries that are able to veto any Security Council resolution be trusted to pursue international peace and security when they also are the largest profiteers from the global arms trade? As long as their veto power is absolute and as long as there is no strong Arms Trade Treaty that could prevent them from selling arms to governments that violate human rights, their role as the guardians of peace and security seems doomed to failure.
The failure of leadership that sparked and fuelled the popular protests in the Middle East and North Africa is not restricted to the UN Security Council or one region.
Anti-government protests filtered down from northern Africa into other parts of the continent. In Uganda, despite a government ban on all public protest in February 2011, people took to the streets in cities around the country to protest against the rising cost of fuel and other essential commodities. The police responded with force. Similarly, in Zimbabwe and Swaziland authorities attempted to quash protest by using excessive force. Showing the lengths some governments are prepared to go to in order to hold on to power, live ammunition has been used against protesters in countries such as Burkina Faso, Malawi and Senegal.
In Latin America too, people raised their voices. In Bolivia, social tensions are on the increase amid recurring protests over economic issues and Indigenous rights. When hundreds of people took part in a 360-mile protest march from Trinidad, Beni Department, to La Paz in mid-2011, President Evo Morales was forced to cancel plans to build a road through the Isiboro-Sécure Indigenous Territory and National Park. The plans were in breach of constitutional guarantees on prior consultation and environmental preservation laws. Scores of people were injured during the protests when security forces used tear gas and truncheons to break up a makeshift camp en route. In Mexico, protesters repeatedly took to the streets to demand an end to violence, impunity and the militarization of the war on drugs, amid mounting civilian casualties.
In Russia, protest has been fuelled by frustrations over corruption, cronyism and sham democratic processes that are denying people the opportunity to use their votes and push through change. Opposition voices in the political arena have been systematically undermined and denied access to mainstream media ensuring that Vladimir Putin faced no real opposition in the presidential elections. Adding insult to injury, Putin referred to protesters as "Banderlog" after the lawless monkeys in Rudyard Kipling's novel Jungle Book, and likening their protest symbol, a white ribbon, to a condom. However, the protests herald a new era in Russia and mark a fresh set of challenges for Putin and those around him. They will have to find ways of addressing these demands now that political reform and respect for human rights have been put firmly on the agenda.
The Chinese authorities demonstrated their fear of the type of public uprisings seen in Tunisia by quickly moving to forestall protests. In February, Chinese security forces took to the streets in large numbers intent on preventing any small group from growing into a crowd in Shanghai. Despite China's tight controls on digital communications and the flow of information, official sources reported thousands of demonstrations throughout the country. Forced evictions in both rural and urban settings were a major focus for protesters in China. In Tibet, where controls are even tighter, more than a dozen monks protested by setting themselves on fire and security forces shot and killed several protesters in January 2012.
Authorities in Myanmar, too, showed their concern about the possibility of widespread public unrest as they moved to re-cast themselves as new and reform-oriented. The government permitted Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy to register for bi-elections. Some exiles returned home.
By mid-January 2012, 600 political prisoners had been released, many of them resuming their opposition activities. However, hundreds remain behind bars, although exact numbers are difficult to ascertain. The government's stated commitment to permitting peaceful political opposition is encouraging, but much remains to be seen.
When protests flared in the Middle East and North Africa and other countries where freedom of expression and freedom of assembly were typically repressed, most democratic governments appeared confident that the civil unrest would remain "over there".
In fact, protests occurred around the world and served to highlight the limitations of democratic governments in promoting and fulfilling human rights.
The clear lines that politicians draw to try to distinguish good governments from bad governments have always been oversimplified. The uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa exposed the self-serving and hypocritical foreign policies of states' that claim to respect human rights. But in these same countries, domestic policies that led to the continuing economic crisis and a high tolerance for ever-growing inequalities exposed their failure to promote human rights at home as well. Xenophobia has swept across Europe and the USA as migrants are scapegoated. Roma, who have long suffered persecution and marginalization in Europe, and other victims of urban regeneration face forced evictions and violence.
The US government's response to the economic crisis was to bail out financial institutions that were "too big to fail". But they did so without imposing any conditions on how the bailout would work. People who were unemployed, unable to secure health insurance and facing foreclosure and possibly homelessness felt betrayed. As Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz wrote, "The banks got their bailout. Some of the money went to bonuses. Little of it went to lending. In the end, bank managers looked out for themselves and did what they are accustomed to doing."
What the economic crisis revealed was that the social contract between the government and the governed was broken. Governments were at best indifferent to the concerns of the people and at worst only interested in protecting those in power. Statistics demonstrating increasing inequalities of incomes and assets were evidence of governments' failure to fulfil their obligation to ensure the progressive realization of economic and social rights.
As the economic crisis in many European countries deepened, people took to the streets in anti-austerity demonstrations. In Greece, video footage, pictures, press reports and witness testimonies pointed to the repeated use of excessive force by police in demonstrations in Athens in June, including the extensive use of chemicals, against largely peaceful protesters. In Spain, police used excessive force to stop demonstrations in which people were demanding political, economic and social policy changes.
The ongoing protests throughout Europe and North America showed that people had lost their faith in governments that time and again disregard accountability, justice and the promotion of equality.
While protesters in Europe and North America faced violations of their freedom of assembly and, in some cases, illegitimate use of force by the police using water cannons and tear gas, in other parts of the world the stakes were even higher. In Tunisia and Egypt, in Yemen and Syria, protesters faced the risk of death, enforced disappearance and torture to demand freedom. In Homs, protesters braved tanks, snipers, shelling, arrest and torture.
Modern technology imposed some restraints on police who were repeatedly reminded that people can use mobile phones to record incidents of police brutality and upload them to social networking sites in an instant. As it was, the police did their best to restrict media scrutiny, intimidate protesters, use tear gas, pepper spray and batons. In a particularly innovative move in the USA, the authorities dusted off an 18th century law against wearing face masks in New York in order to crack down on largely peaceful protesters.
Whether in Tahrir Square, Zucotti Park or Manezhnaya Square, a common strand linking these demonstrations was how quick governments were to prevent peaceful protest and restrict the right to freedom of expression and association.
Few scenarios illustrate lack of leadership more than governments' failure to regulate large business, particularly multinational corporations that often profit at the expense of local communities. From Shell in the Niger Delta, Nigeria, to Vedanta Resources in Orissa, India, governments are failing to ensure that corporate actors, at a minimum, respect human rights. In many countries, hundreds of thousands of people face forced evictions as mining companies move in to claim natural resources.
Digital and communications companies are coming under greater scrutiny as they face governments' demands to comply with patently illegal laws that violate human rights including the rights to freedom of expression, information and privacy. There is evidence that businesses ostensibly dedicated (and benefiting) from expression and sharing of opinion, including Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Twitter, Vodaphone and Yahoo are collaborating in some of these violations.
Threats to freedom of expression on the internet being highlighted in the context of human rights revolutions is not new. Amnesty International has long documented the failures of governments, such as those of China, Cuba and Iran to respect freedom of expression and related rights on the internet. Recently introduced laws in the US Congress and in the European Union also threaten internet freedom.
The failure of governments to demand any level of accountability of these corporations and institutions highlights yet again how governments work to support those in power rather than to empower those who are disempowered.
What emerged during a year of unrest, transition and conflict was the singular failure of leadership at the national and international level. Officials of repressive governments who dismiss the concept of the universality of human rights and argue that human rights are western values being imposed on them have had their arguments laid bare. Other governments which bought the line that people in some countries are "not ready for democracy and human rights" had their beliefs equally exposed.
So, how do governments reclaim their role as legitimate leaders?
First, the hypocrisy must end. No state can legitimately claim that the people it governs are not ready for human rights and a participatory system of government. And those states that claim to defend human rights must stop shoring up dictatorial leaders because they are allies. The cry for freedom, justice and dignity being heard around the world must be honoured. The first step in doing so is for all states to respect freedom of expression and the right to peaceful protest.
Second, states must take their responsibilities as international actors seriously – particularly those charged with guaranteeing international peace and security. One example of such a commitment would be to adopt a strong Arms Trade Treaty.
In July 2012, UN member states meet to agree a final text for the Treaty. A strong Treaty would prevent the international transfer of all types of conventional arms, including small arms, light weapons, ammunition and key components, to countries in which there is a significant risk that these will be used to commit serious violations of human rights and humanitarian law. To achieve this, the Treaty would require governments to conduct rigorous assessments of the risk to human rights before issuing arms export licences. This would demonstrate that governments value human rights and international peace and security over political expediency and the profits of the arms trade. A strong Arms Trade Treaty is only so close to becoming a reality because activists, human rights defenders and individuals at the grassroots, national, regional and international level who recognize the incredible toll taken by the irresponsible trade in arms have demanded that governments address this human rights problem.
In addition, greater oversight, especially of financial institutions, needs to be put in place to prevent the type of economic crises that continues to drive many around the world deeper into poverty. Weak oversight and deregulation allowed banks and mortgage companies to gamble away people's savings and homes.
Leaders must understand the imperative to build and maintain a system that protects the powerless and restrains the powerful – a system based on the rule of law that ensures an end to impunity and adherence to international standards of due process, fair trial and independence of the judiciary, a system where leaders remember they are here to serve the best interests of their citizens. Creating an environment that provides everyone with genuine access to participation in political life, where there is strong institutional support for the engagement of civil society, is a clear way to make this vision take root.
The Amnesty International movement is built on the understanding that freedom of expression and the ability to challenge governments and demand that they respect, protect and fulfil human rights is essential in order to build a world in which all people live free and equal in dignity and rights. Protesters have thrown down the gauntlet demanding that governments show leadership by promoting human rights, justice, equality and dignity. The world has shown that leaders who don't meet these expectations will no longer be accepted.

Exec command running in background after a fork
Hi All,
How can i make the code below to run in background (windows xp) until the command ends?
The command is similar to "perl main.pl a b c d e". If i put this command at #child place, the script (main.pl) runs until it terminates but the html page (#parent place) is only loaded after the script ends. I want to display the html page as soon as the script starts.
If i change the code between #child and #parent fields, the html is displayed instantly but the script (main.pl) is killed and is not executed to the end.
use warnings; use strict; $| = 1; # need either this or to explicitly flush stdout, etc. # before forking print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n"; print "Going to start the fork now\n"; if ( !defined(my $pid = fork())) { print STDERR "fork error\n"; exit(1); } elsif ($pid == 0) { # child close(STDOUT);close(STDIN);close(STDERR); exec('perl main.pl a b c d e'); # lengthy processing } else { # parent print "forked child \$pid= $pid\n"; exit 0; } __END__

Anyone who doesn't believe "sugar addiction" is real...
...should try eliminating it from their diet and see how they feel on days 3 and 4. :sick:
UGH!!!! I have had a splitting headache for 2 days and today I'm so nauseous I can barely function. If I didn't have a deadline I would have left work early today and gone home and crawled right into bed.
I have to power through this! Envisioning the scale going down.
Good luck! You'll make it through.
Try to remember how badly you feel right now when you're tempted to have "just a bite."
Oh believe me, I will. This isn't my first low carb rodeo (far from it!) so I knew I would have to pay my dues. I try to remember this is actually GOOD for me - get the crap out of my system so I can start to feel healthy and strong again.
And it most certainly IS real! I don't feel like I was truly addicted to sugar, but I do believe I was addicted to starchy carbs. It was a real pain trying to cut those out at first, but after that initial few days to a week I finally felt like I was free... and I haven't looked back yet :)
Try and get plenty of rest if you can once you're finished with your work, and if the headache persists you might want to try some broth or something... I know for some reason the sodium in it helps many with the "induction flu." Not sure if the same logic would apply here, but assuming you're still nauseous it'd probably be easy enough on your tummy too :)
Thank you! I just had some tuna salad and avocado - lots of fat! - so I feel a little better. I can definitely try some broth tonight.
I tried to ease my way into it this time to try and avoid the withdrawal symptoms. I did the same thing as you, Melanie. Starchy carbs were the first to go, but since they were never my Achilles Heel it was pretty easy for me. I stopped fruit last week, and Monday I went 100% sugar free. I hope I have a little more energy by the weekend.
I am so sorry to hear you have those cravings right now. I know when I started Induction it was hell. I did nothing but think about platefuls of pasta, bread, potatoes and anything sweet. It lasted around 3 weeks or so but then one day I woke up and didn't really think about it. These days, I really don't have those cravings and can sit next to people eating all of the things I used to obsess over and have no problem with it.
Hang in there it will get much better before you know it!
The great thing is that studies using fMRI are showing it. What we, as sugar addicts, knew, science is now proving (sugar lights up the same pleasure centers as cocaine!). It's yet another step towards a time when food companies aren't allowed to poison us and the government teaches us something useful abut nutrition.
The day will come.
try uping your salt intake for a day... advice given to me and it helped a TON!!!!! Something to the effect that you process salt differently when you're on a low carb diet.
I felt the same way my first few days of LC! Ugh! I was Soo addicted to sugar it was crazy. I could leave the bread, potaotes etc no problem but leaving behind the sugary sweet tea, PB cups, snack cakes, donuts etc was hard! Now I'm not even tempted, that often Lol! Feel better!!

Nikita Review: Secret Fathers Revealedby Carla Day at . Comments
Percy is one clever dude, way too clever for his own good. He may not be in charge of Division anymore, but in "343 Walnut Lane" it was made it clear who is getting things done. Percy, even in his glass prison, has made Amanda impotent.
Percy's manipulation of Alex, Amanda, and ultimately Nikita was brilliant. It was quite the well-thought out plan, but cruel beyond belief. That Percy would manipulate a new recruit with a fake father demonstrated just how long Percy has led a highly questionable existence.
I know, Division itself was and is a nefarious organization, but this showed how inhumane Percy could be. At the same time, I have to give Percy credit because his plan basically worked perfectly until the end. He understands how to manipulate people into doing his bidding without them even realizing it. At the beginning of the season, I wasn't sure how Percy would be incorporated into the show given his situation, but have you noticed that Alex and Amanda both are spending more and more time down in Percy's domain?
I was surprised at how easily Alex and especially Nikita were played. They were both clouded by their emotions. Alex feared Gogol and was blinded by getting revenge on Semak, while Nikita had an uncontrollable desire to find her family.
More shocking than finding out that Richard was a Division plant and not Nikita's father -- her telling Michael that Max is his son. Wow. I think she was more hurt by Michael's reaction to the news and letting go of her hands than by the truth about Richard.
I'm glad that Nikita told Michael that truth; that wasn't a secret I wanted hanging out there indefinitely. But I also don't think Michael is the only one who knows. When Richard and Birkhoff were fighting, Amanda commented that there was a disturbance on the comm. That's how she knew that Richard was compromised. If he was wearing a comm then, he was probably wearing one the whole time. Nikita killed Richard to protect the secret, but it was already out there.
What will Division do with that secret? Will Alex find out and be able to warn Michael and Nikita? If Nikita keeping the secret from Michael caused a divide, Michael will be furious to find out that she let Division in on it even if inadvertently.
What do you think will happen between Michael and Nikita? Does he love her enough to forgive her?

I like Nikita and Maggie Q's superb acting skills! She's a naturally good actress, probably one of the best but i don't like her beauty so much. I think another actress more beautiful would still have pulled it off but made everything even MORE appealing and beautiful. I'm not saying Maggie ain't beautiful though. But still I am thankful for everyone's especially Maggie's acting skills. The film would have held no appeal for me if their acting sucked. I guess you can't have beauty and skill equally balanced, noh? Love the show!
Irealy like this show its good but in fact idon't like nikita at all idon't know why
Every time Roan has survived something, very Terminator-like music plays--it's amusing, but it got us thinking about Roan possibly being cybernetic--Percy has had a ton of money and a ton of access to secrets--who KNOWS what he's been able to accomplish! LOL I keep thinking the end-result involving Michael's lovechild is that the mother is going to die, and Michael will get the kid out of the country and back to the states. My problem with my own theory is that I don't see Michael and Nikita playing house anytime soon. It's simply not compatible with their line of work. I also anticipate Nikita becoming pregnant, at some point soon, as well...
I am so sad for Michael. And Nikita too (i am female too in, at times, very shaky relationship, so i can relate very good). But my opinion is that Nikita doesnt really deserve M, that was my opinion since 17 ep of S1..... i dont know, yes, u can see how much she loves him, but i dont think they are loving equally. u read me?
Oh and I was literally so sad when Alex learned that Nikita's father wasn't real. The look on her face! Although I did think it was weird that Nikita seemed to be blindly trusting a stranger, I really wanted that to be her father. Well played Percy, you devious ba$tard, you.
Did everyone miss Nikita's last name on her file???? Nikita Meers---anyone???
i loved this episode.i liked the part where alex first contacted birkoff and he said who told you that searching my name would contact me or somthing like that and the alex told him somthing like you did when i was a recruit because you wanted to see which girls where checking you out.i also loved the part where alex woke birkoff up at 2 in the moring and told him nikitas father was a division plant then he just jumped up and tried to go warn nikita and i liked that part because when alex told him he believed her right away and didn't question her or say no that's impossible he just went to go and try to warn nikita and michael but ended up fight her fake father.i don't think division knows that michael has a kid because roan said there hasn't been an update in a while and even though her fake dad was wearing a com they only here what they want the others to hear its only certain times when they have them turned on so the others can here everything.i loved the part where birkoff sent the missel to his house even though it could of killed all of them.i still can't believe that roan survived the explosion and his glasses didnt even have a scratch on them i mean what does it take to kill him.im happy that nikita told michael that he has a son and i think that it will take him a while to completely forgive her for keeping it from him.i think that alex will rejoin nikita and michael soon and i really hope she does soon.i don't think percy owns alex like he thinks he does because she can beat amandas lie detector test because she has done it before.i can't wait till the next episode it looks great.
Good review! I love this show!
It Seems To Me That Nothin Can Kill Roan Or Destroy His Glasses..Loved The Episode and Loved When Amanda Showed Percy Who was Boss And Ripped The Picture In Half And Told Him Sometimes When You Gamble You Sometimes Win..or something like tht but anyway I loved it and cant wait for next episode
i don't think the secret is out yet. i am really proud of Nikita for telling the truth to Michael. i hope he forgives her or keeping it it from him so they could continue on as a couple. I think Alex might be joining the team soon.

Hardware upgrade
I'm thinking of getting an upgrade for my laptop, but I'm not sure what to upgrade- the RAM or getting an SSD. I do light gaming- Onlive and occasional Minecraft. Also when browsing, I tend to open loads of tabs and because I use Chrome is eats away at my resources. So basically, what would make a bigger performance boost (Also I have gone through the guides about uninstalling programs I don't use, etc.)
Crucial upgrade page: Computer memory upgrades for HP - Compaq Pavilion dv6-2020sa Laptop/Notebook from Crucial.com
My laptop's spec page: Product Specifications - HP technical support (United Kingdom - English)
Any help is appreciated.
|My System Specs
|30 Aug 2012
Get a SSD! =D Then probably dual/tripple channel your RAM
|My System Specs
|30 Aug 2012
Sorry, dual channel? What's that?
|My System Specs
|30 Aug 2012
Your RAM from your Product Specifications:
3072 MB (1 x 1024 MB + 1 x 2048 MB)
By placing your RAM into dual channel mode, you have effectively doubled its bandwidth, meaning that twice as much data can be transferred at a given point in time.
There should, in theory, be a noticeable difference between single and dual channel mode. However, this depends on the application. For many programs, such as Office (Word, Excel, etc), there will be a slight difference but not as much as you will see with graphics editing or movie conversion.
Dual Channel Ram guide.
Why I wrote: To correct some misconceptions that are out there about what is dual channel. And to try and help with some of the questions. "Will this be Dual Channel". This only applies to Notebooks not Desktops, they are very different, as Notebooks have two slots A & B channels and Desktops have four slots 2A & 2B channels.
What is dual channel? The RAM bus is 64 bit, dual means using 2 (Intel) which gives you a 128 bit bus (effective), capable of twice the bandwidth. AMD is done different but the outcome is the same 64 vs 128
Do I have it? Most current Notebook Motherboards support it, remember it is the Motherboard that determines if you can use it, not the RAM. RAM is sold in "Dual Channel kits" as both a convenience and marketing ploy.
Do I need it? Yes/No, RAM is very fast but it does help, depending on your system, some more than others. Current Intel's take less of a performance hit not using it, AMD on the other hand makes much more use of it. Intel being 8% to 10% (est) improvement, AMD 20% to 30% (est) improvement.
Do I need the same size RAM sticks to run in Dual Channel? Yes (AMD at this point says yes)/No (Intel) but you do usually want the same speed and latency as every thing clocks down to the slowest of both. Example 533Mhz CL4 mixed with 667Mhz CL5 will go with the slowest of both 533Mhz CL5 (not always with the latency) and slower than if either were matched. Same size sticks will run slightly faster symmetric RAM array (Interleaved). If the RAM is of different sizes it runs in what is called "asymmetric RAM array" (Intel Flex Memory/ AMD does not support). The greater the disparity between your 2 sticks the greater the performance hit vs sticks of the same size. The difference seems to be approximately in proportion to the ratio of the the smaller stick x2 to the entire amount of RAM. An example with Intel, 1GB stick and 2GB stick. 2/3, 1GB(smallest stick)x2 to 3GB(the entire amount). Well 2/3 of the total improvement, of the Dual Channel running with the same size sticks (symmetric RAM array) 10%, the asymmetric RAM array example is about 6.7% so a 3.3% less than symmetric RAM array. With 512MB stick and 2GB stick, 512MB(smallest stick)x2 to 2.5GB(the entire amount). 1/2.5 4% improvement. AMD's will show greater improvements and losses, Dual/Single keep that in mind.
What do I do? One absolute is the fastest, lowest latency is always the best unless it exceeds the the FSB speed or the supported speed for your memory, RAM will usually just clock down. You want to have an amount of RAM that minimizes how often your CPU goes to Page File whether Dual Channel or not. RAM bandwidths are likely 3000MB to 4500MB/s 60ns to 100ns latency , HDD's are 25MB to 60MB/s plus 6ms to 20ms random access times. RAM is exponentially faster than HDD. The truth is there are no absolute answers to what to do. Clearly more RAM running Single Channel or asymmetric RAM array is better than symmetric RAM array with out enough to avoid the Page File.
Are some brands better than other? Yes/NO, all RAM of a rated speed and latency performs the same regardless of brand. Some of the expensive brand name RAM offers things like heat spreaders. Reducing heat is always a good thing but not always necessary and does not affect speed. Some people who overclock like these features. Buy from a reputable retailer and get a lifetime warranty and you will be fine with any RAM.
Conclusions: With Intel's I don't think people should worry as much about their RAM configurations. Only up to 10% difference. Make sure you have enough, AMD people you should care a little more up to 30% difference but not at the expense of too little RAM. Those with IGP's might want to consider symmetric RAM array more than others.
Let me try and give an example to try and illustrate the difference between the Single Channel and the two Dual Channels listed above. It is simplified but I think valid. We have two bottles exactly the same.
For Single Channel we fill both with 1 liter We turn one upside down to drain as soon as it is empty with no delay we turn the second one upside down until empty. We have timed it and we know our quantity. So we can get a ounce/s number
Symmetric RAM array some call "true" Dual Channel. Same two bottles fill 1 liter each, turn them upside down at the same time until empty. We have timed, to get the ounces/s, I am going to guess the ounce/s is going to be double the previous (don't laugh I know Einstein is rolling in his grave).
Finally the big controversy, Asymmetric RAM array. We fill one with 1 liter and the other with 2 liters turn them upside down until empty. We have timed, to get ounces/s.
What does that tell us? Well if you have 128 bit bus with 3GB's it is not Single Channel. It is not the same as symmetric bottle array, it is less ounces/s but it is more than Single Channel because it uses the 128 bit.
Here are some links that support some of what I say, nothing spells it out, which is why I wrote and got results on my own. These links actually disagree on some terminology. They are not notebooks, I could not find anything on notebooks but some info is applicable.
Link #1: Intel desktops. RAM Channel explanations.
Link #2: Describes RAM Channels on a server.
Link #3: Discusses Intel's "Flex Memory"
I would like to thank John Ratsey as he provided me with the Intel benchmarks I use, I have a very small sample but it is the best I could do.
If anyone has a Turion and can run matching sticks and different size sticks please PM me if you would like to help me.
To sum it up, use 2 identical RAM Modules of 2gb/4gb each to make it dual channel
|My System Specs
|30 Aug 2012
ok, thanks. How do I dual channel my RAM?
|My System Specs
|30 Aug 2012
To sum it up, use 2 identical RAM Modules of 2gb/4gb each to make it dual channel, check first if the latest RAM technology is supported by your laptop
but get a SSD first hehehe =D my opinion
|My System Specs
|30 Aug 2012
ok thanks for your help.
|My System Specs
|30 Aug 2012
Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit
More RAM won't help unless you are using all that you now have.
Do you know that?
I don't think most games can access more than 2 GB of RAM at any rate.
|My System Specs
|30 Aug 2012
Well its constantly using about 1.65GB out of 2.75GB. Obviously it rises when gaming. I wasn't thinking of a huge upgrade, just like an extra gig or so. And yes, I am aware of that, I was thinking it may be good to have more on hand.
|My System Specs
|30 Aug 2012
MS Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1
I'd go for the SSD first, and then get some ram later. The SSD will speed up your performance tremendously.

Ukraine prime minister asks NATO, EU for more help
BRUSSELS (AP) -- Ukraine's prime minister on Monday asked NATO to do more to help his country's military, which has been unable to quell a pro-Russian insurgency, and called for an urgent increase in financial aid from the European Union.
"It's difficult for us to fight with a nuclear state that is armed to the teeth," Arseniy Yatsenyuk said. He accused Vladimir Putin's Russia of seeking to eradicate an independent Ukraine.
Visiting NATO headquarters, Yatsenyuk said he asked the alliance's secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, for assistance in shaping a new defense and national security strategy for his country. He said he also sought "additional support" for Ukraine's Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security "to improve the stance of the Ukrainian military and the National Guard."
He gave no specifics, and Stoltenberg did not comment on NATO's reply to the request.
Later, Yatsenyuk attended the inaugural meeting of the Association Council between Ukraine and the European Union, which is supposed to lay the groundwork for Ukraine's political association and economic integration with the 28-nation bloc.
He said his government was committed to free-market and legal reforms, but that Ukraine's economy has been devastated by the ongoing conflict with Russia.
The Kremlin unilaterally annexed Crimea in March, and Ukrainian forces have been combating a pro-Moscow rebellion in the country's east that NATO and Western governments charge is managed, supplied and staffed by Putin's government and military.
Because of Russian aggression, Ukraine has lost 20 percent of its economic output, Yatsenyuk said.
"When we need financial assistance, let me put it in a nutshell: yesterday," he told reporters in English.
EU Enlargement Commissioner Johannes Hahn said the best response to people trying to destabilize Ukraine was to make it a "prosperous and safe country that is open to business." Any sizeable increase in foreign financial assistance, though, is unlikely before an international conference expected in early 2015.

Left to right: Mary Ying, Rachel Goldberg, Christine Gronberg,Taylor Rapalyea, Kaylie Flannigan.
By Ayana Aubourg, Haley Costen, Sarah Kinney, Ahalia Persaud, and Lindsey Stokes
Our group of 11 students is drawn from diverse disciplines and ranges from a first-year to graduating seniors. But all of us are excited, eager to learn and ready to finally set foot in South Africa, a country about which we have been learning for months. But our first reporting job is on each other. Here's a look at six of us.
While their peers are recovering from late night graduation parties, celebratory toasting, and obligatory family get-togethers, newly minted graduates Taylor Rapalyea and Rachel Goldberg will board an 8 a.m. flight bound for Johannesburg via London to study and report on human rights in South Africa's post-apartheid society, itself just getting over the fourth round of national elections since Nelson Mandela was chosen president in 1994.
Rapalyea credits the trip with giving her the push to start job-hunting early and to hit the ground running when she returns home. Upon returning, she will work for the Salem News. The most recent editor-in-chief of The Simmons Voice, she says this style of international reporting will be the crowning achievement of her journalism career. It will give her experiences she's never had before, and allow her to "do reporting that matters."
"I'm looking forward to finding something that speaks to me," Rapalyea says.
Like Rapalyea, Goldberg says her decision to go on the trip was motivated by her career aspirations.
She cannot wait to take everything that happens in South Africa and use it. Goldberg is interested in working on international human insecurity and her primary focus is issues of refugees and statelessness. While she does not know where she will end up, she is embracing the opportunity to learn from South Africa and put her degree to use.
Goldberg, an avid observer of diverse groups and a political science and economics double major, has been hearing about human rights situations around the world throughout her Simmons career. It was not until her time studying abroad in places such as Thailand and Denmark that she truly came to understand the emotional fortitude and cultural flexibility that was required to live in these unfamiliar environments. She says she is ready to take on the challenge once more.
She was drawn to the idea of studying in South Africa primarily because of the opportunity to engage with, and observe, a new culture. Growing up in Miami, Florida Goldberg has been among diverse groups of people her whole life. Going to a new country is a whole other level of exposure and immersion in someone else's way of life.
While some students are concluding their Simmons career with the trip, Mary Ying is beginning her career with it.
The only first-year, nursing student in the group of 11 students, Ying is in for a bittersweet treat. She has travel experience, having been to Europe and Asia with her mother for the past ten years. However, Ying has never been exposed to, had background or context knowledge of South Africa other than what she has seen in the media before this course.
She says that she heard about this faculty-led travel course through a study abroad info session and found it interesting. Mary has a general interest in world issues, participated in Model UN, enjoys writing and blogging and plans to work in non-profit healthcare, hoping that South Africa is a potential environment to work in the future.
Other students also see the trip as an opportunity to increase their knowledge of social justice.
As a political science and sociology major it's no surprise that sophomore Kaylie Flannigan wanted to take a human rights travel course to South Africa.
"Human rights is a bridge between my majors," Flannigan says.
She took interest in the trip after attending a study abroad fair in her freshman year and taking an African Politics class.
Flannigan has traveled abroad before, but this is her first time studying human rights abroad. She has always wanted to travel to South Africa, and plans to use the opportunity to improve her writing.
She says that in the future she would like to work for an international organization and that she is considering adding on a journalism minor.
"I want to be able to speak knowledgeably about the issues there," Flannigan says.
Christine Gronberg is a junior at Simmons College studying international relations with a concentration of human rights and a minor in journalism. She says she is excited to immerse herself in a new culture and environment. She remains inspired by how different communities of people joined forces to fight together to end apartheid.
Gronberg looks forward to visiting the U.S. Embassy in South Africa because of her interest in politics. She is eager to learn how the South African government interacts with people on a state level. She looks forward to learning more about the relationship between the government and local people. She hopes that this trip will help her gain knowledge about peace processes.
She was curious to know how the South African government is living up to the expectations of their constitution. Gronberg finds South Africa's historical narrative to be incredible and is one of the main reasons why she can't wait to visit the country.
The group will touch down around 9 a.m. local time on May 11, and after hours spent talking about what to expect, the students will see first-hand the state of human rights in South Africa.

Boston pitcher Clay Buchholz resumed throwing
|Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Clay Buchholz throws the ball to the infield before a baseball game against the Tampa Bay Rays Wednesday, June 12, 2013, in St. Petersburg, Fla. (AP Photo/Chris O'Meara)
Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz has resumed throwing.
However, the date for his next start has not been finalized.
Buchholz, 9-0 with a big league-best 1.71 ERA, played catch Wednesday for the first time since leaving his start last Saturday with what the team called "neck tightness."
Red Sox manager John Farrell said Buchholz might pitch Sunday, but that Tuesday could also be an option.
"He threw the ball OK, but he still felt a little stiffness," Farrell said. "But improved over the last time he had a ball in his hand. So, we've got to factor in what takes place today and tomorrow. The fact that he's still feeling some stiffness, we've got to factor that in."
If Buchholz can't go on Sunday, Jon Lester would start against Baltimore. Ryan Dempster will face the Orioles on Friday night, which was originally Buchholz's next scheduled start.
Farrell expects to announce his Sunday starter on Thursday.
"If there's any question with Clay, then Jon will start," Farrell said.

Katherine Heigl kind of disappeared for a while. She was busy raising two kids, loving on rescue dogs, and starring in the occasional ensemble movie or sleep aid commercial. This fall, she returns in a big way with the NBC drama State of Affairs, playing a hardened CIA analyst tasked with keeping the President (played with great steeliness by Alfre Woodard) informed of the most pressing threats to national security.
While Heigl might have been lying low the last several years, stories of her supposedly bad reputation took flight. Rumors of her "difficult nature"—a phrase, by the way, that one rarely sees pinned on a male star, as is it has the condescending whiff of a naughty girl refusing to act nice—hit a peak with a scathing 2013 story in The Hollywood Reporter that blamed Heigl's lagging career on her bad attitude. Her crimes included, among other things, daring to question whether Judd Apatow occasionally underwrote his female characters and complaining about the quality of craft services on set. This counted as career suicide in a town inhabited by Charlie Sheen. READ FULL STORY

Directions Step-By-Step
1Make cupcakes according to package directions on cake mix, you can use any flavor cake mix.

I'm making peep cupcakes for my daycare kids...mine are way different...if I remember I'll post a photo when I get them done...You sure have a gazillion and one idea my dear! Love it!

I just made them for my daughter's class, I am changing the picture because I like the new photo I took. I will post mine too. My daughter is so excited to bring them to school!
Annamaria Settanni McDonald ArtByASM - Apr 21, 2011
As far as ideas go, sometimes they keep me up at night, like now, it's 2:39am. I am working on my cookbook and trying to post recipes and plan birthdays. It's never a dull moment in my head, now I just wish I could get all done quicker! LOL!
Annamaria Settanni McDonald ArtByASM - Apr 21, 2011
I shared a photo of this recipe.
Shelley Welsh thepiratelover - Apr 21, 2011
Really cute idea~~
I know it should be pretty self-explanatory, but you forgot to mention to actually put the peep onto the cupcake.

I realised that the only reason I used iGoogle these days was because it was prettier than plain Google - I got a random mountain photo in the background from the theme. You couldn't pay me to use Bing, though.
So I've made an HTML page to save locally and set as a home page, with JavaScript to load a random background image:
Attachment 20783
Attachment 20780
Save the file into a folder on your local machine and take the .txt extension off (I've only added that to let me upload here). Save a bunch of images alongside it, named 1.jpg, 2.jpg,...102.jpg (however high you go) - I'd recommend grabbing some photos from InterfaceLIFT: Wallpaper sorted by Date that match your monitor resolution.
Edit the value of numImg on line 40 to match the number of images you have in the folder.
You can add as many search fields as you please, Google and Wikipedia seemed reasonable defaults, and there's a thesaurus.com field commented out in the code. The Google field has focus as soon as you open the page.
If you do use FireFox, you might want to use Tab Mix Plus to load the page as a New Tab Page - don't set it to use Home Page when it loads new tabs, as the focus JS doesn't work and you can't start yer Googlin' straight off. Give it the address as a New Tab Page and tick Focus Content When Loading Non-Blank Page and it works fine.
You can browse through your images with the controls bottom right, or click on the number to skip straight to another - useful if you're checking how certain images work (I've had to flip some horizontally to make the search bars more readable, or stop them covering the interesting part of a photo).
Those of you using ustart.org may have had issues loading our RSS feed, I have fixed the issue now, the hosting they are on is on a bad ip address range list.

I also love his ability to read the defense and audible out of the play. Haven't seen that from any of the QBs this franchise has had since Marino.
I like that he is a former receiver and has the ability to teach the new offense to the team. I have not seen the deer in the headlights look.

1. first and foremost unlike with qbs in the past I do not wait with baited breath everytime tannehill drops back to pass.
2. I actually believe at some point he is going to win some of these close ones.
3. he elevates the play of the guys around him. You can't tell me tannehill hasn't made brian hartline alot better. Now that teams have to fear our passing attack they can't load up the box. This has made regginald better. Heck not turning the ball over every 4 passes like a.j feeley keeps the defense out of the short field, so he's evebn made the defense better.

Vomiting at the keyboard and humiliation as a driving force
I am enjoying reading Wayne Koestenbaum's 'Humiliation' very much. The tiny chapters are bite-sized dishes (in more than one sense) and all is a-sparkle with wit and insight – sometimes lyrical, sometimes brutal, never dull.I'm 35% through (yes, I'm reading it on my Kindle) and one of my former piano teachers has just made an unnamed appearance over my house-made Midtown spaghetti with lamb ragu: Adele Marcus who, so overcome by nerves just before the Schumann concerto's whiplash orchestral E and the piano's zigzagging chords which simply ask to be smudged (and forgotten), vomited on to the keyboard. The author says this took place in London, I had always thought it was in Aspen, but the story has been repeated too many times for it not to be true. The author observes: "Vomit on the keyboard – that image symbolizes, for me, the always possible danger of the body speaking up for its own rights, against the stringent demands of the mind's wish to construct a plausible, attractive, laudable self for other people to admire."
This takes us back to an earlier blog post of mine, about the requirement and burden since Liszt to play from memory. Wrong notes can be part of the acceptable rough and tumble of a romantic interpretation, they can even seem daring and exciting and carefree; but stopping … forgetting … blanking: this is the ultimate musical humiliation in a public space, in front of an audience. I am sure that Adele Marcus was afraid of forgetting in the Schumann, not of striking false notes or misjudging phrasing or pedalling.
As I suggested in that earlier post, the requirement for pianists to play everything from memory has probably called a halt to many careers which would otherwise have flourished. From the first time we have to play in front of our fellow-students at the earliest age we face the roulette of public performance: adulation = red squares; humiliation = black squares. And at the end of the evening it is the pianist's ability to remember the notes, not to play them, which takes him or her to the cashier with a light tread and heavy pockets … or the opposite.

responsive os is eating the world
We used to believe that each of our clients had a unique problem. After hundreds of projects, we realized we were wrong. There is a single root cause slowing down the most capable companies on the planet: they are using an antiquated operating system to confront the speed of the 21st century. Today's winners and losers are decided based on how responsive they are to culture, to consumers, to competition, and to the other forces of disruption.
With that in mind, every project we do helps to upgrade our client's operating system to what we call Responsive OS. The end goal is to help legacy organizations compete with the digital upstarts that threaten them.
Responsive OS is made up of five nested domains creating a rich interplay between the why, how, who, and what of the organization:
2 Comments
Do you think it's a coincidence that most of the companies highlighted don't have such a heavy investment in real life products…? The focus tends to be on the how, not the what.
Interesting thought to how this ripples down to those that make the every day things. That may not be influenced so much (just yet) by this trend.
