ProPublica is an independent, non-profit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest. Our work focuses exclusively on truly important stories, stories with "moral force." We do this by producing journalism that shines a light on exploitation of the weak by the strong and on the failures of those with power to vindicate the trust placed in them.
Investigative journalism is at risk. Many news organizations have increasingly come to see it as a luxury. Today's investigative reporters lack resources: Time and budget constraints are curbing the ability of journalists not specifically designated "investigative" to do this kind of reporting in addition to their regular beats. This is therefore a moment when new models are necessary to carry forward some of the great work of journalism in the public interest that is such an integral part of self-government, and thus an important bulwark of our democracy.
The business crisis in publishing and — not unrelated — the revolution in publishing technology are having a number of wide-ranging effects. Among these are that the creation of original journalism in the public interest, and particularly the form that has come to be known as "investigative reporting," is being squeezed down, and in some cases out.
ProPublica is led by Paul Steiger, the former managing editor of The Wall Street Journal. Stephen Engelberg, a former managing editor of The Oregonian, Portland, Oregon and former investigative editor of The New York Times, is ProPublica's managing editor.
ProPublica is headquartered in Manhattan. Its establishment was announced in October 2007. Operations commenced in January 2008, and publishing began in June 2008.

Stardate 8454.1: In the windswept desert of Nimbus III, the Planet of Galactic Peace, a lone settler witnesses a man materialising out of the dusty horizon, offering to share and bear the settler's pain. With a laugh, the two join forces and plan to steal a starship. Cutting to the rock and scrub of another desert, the jeans-clad Captain Kirk is climbing bare-handed in Yosemite. After a near-accident followed by a night of beans and whisky and campfire songs, Kirk (William Shatner), Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and McCoy (DeForest Kelley) are called back from shore leave to the new Enterprise for an emergency mission. Counting on Scotty (James Doohan) to bring the new ship up to speed, they travel to Paradise City on Nimbus III, where delegates from the Romulan, Klingon, and Human races have been kidnapped.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

**This is written weekly by STRATFOR's analysts to document ongoing work
and to provide AOR-level updates from the team.
TAIWAN/US -- US to sell Taiwan radar equipment as commercial sale -- week
in review - The United States agreed to allow the sale of radar equipment
to Taiwan, including radar equipment for its indigenous fighter jets. The
US is allowing this sale through the commercial track, rather than through
the military sales track, which means it should be a smoother process not
handled directly by the US bureaucracy every step of the way. This is
bound to anger China, even though the sale itself was rather small, since
in the future it could facilitate bigger sales but with less direct
involvement from Washington. It is at least seen as making sales easier.
CHINA/EAST TIMOR -- China to build Timor a military base -- week in review
- China is building a military base for the East Timorese, after having
built several other military and public buildings there and sold a couple
of patrol boats. China is making in roads into a number of Pacific island
countries, and the Timorese are eager to have China's cash and its
influence as a counter balance to overwhelming Australian and Indonesian
PHILIPPINES/CHINA -- gunman takes Hong Kong tourists hostage -- week in
review - A gunman in Manila held a bus full of Hong Kong tourists hostage,
and the botched rescue attempt resulted in numerous deaths. China appealed
to Manila to handle the incident carefully when it was happening, then
sent representatives to investigate the situation, and then decried the
incompetent rescue effort. The Chinese have demanded a thorough study of
the situation, and the Philippine president will have to apologize. The
Chinese are not happy and the incident could strain relations somewhat.
THAILAND/US/RUSSIA/CAMBODIA -- Bout not extradited yet; Thai and Cambodia
restore ties -- week in review - The Thai courts ruled to extradite Victor
Bout, the 'merchant of death', a major Russian arms dealer, to the United
States. But when the US came to pick him up the extradition was blocked,
because a subsequent US extradition request had not been given due process
in the courts. Therefore the THai courts will either have to resolve the
charges in court, or the US will have to withdraw them. Either way it was
a hitch connected to the transfer of this highly influential arms
smuggler, and the Russians had made loud protestations about Thailand's
decision to obey the US. Separately, Thailand and Cambodia restored
diplomatic ties after former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin resigned as
Cambodia's PM's "economic adviser." The latest bout of tensions appears to
have calmed a bit, but it will ramp up again when the two have reasons
domestically to do so, especially because Thailand is still angry over
Cambodia's plan submitted to the UNESCO for the management of the disputed
temple, and the Cambodians are building up more communities and military
presence in the border dispute area.
KOREAS/US/CHINA/JAPAN -- Carter to North Korea, KJI to China -- week in
review / ahead - Chinese nuclear envoy Wu Dawei went to South Korea and
declared that China is ready to support North Korea's return to the Six
Party Talks. Then news emerged that US President Jimmy Carter would travel
North Korea, ostensibly not related to official relations but rather to
gather up a human rights activist imprisoned there (though Carter met with
the DPRK's number two leader, and Hillary Clinton recently was said to
have called a review of North Korea policy being unhappy with recent
events). Then Kim Jong Il made a surprise visit to China, but only visited
Jilin and not Beijing - very unusual for Kim to visit China so close to
his big visit in May. Carter is staying an extra day, presumably to meet
with Kim. So it appears the Chinese and North are attempting to put
together some kind of package to offer for the resumption of Six Party
Talks, and that means DPRK may have something to offer. US-ROK-Japan have
been set against the talks but this could be changing. Separately, the
South Korea's military said it would fire shells back toward the NLL if
the North Koreans violated the boundary with their own artillery fire, as
recently happened. Meanwhile there are numerous diplomatic trips that have
occurred or soon will occur, suggesting talk on the Koreas, on Iran, and
on Northeast Asian relations. The Chinese and Japanese foreign ministers
are meeting in China, and the Chinese-ROK-Japan FTA talks are having
another round; the Chinese vice-foreign minister is visiting the US, as
with the Korean vice-foreign minister, probably to talk about Iran
sanctions, but the DPRK is also probably on the table.
JAPAN -- economic and political developments -- week in review/ahead -
Japan's economy is continuing to have trouble, the currency continues to
gather strength which is worsening an already negative outlook. PM Kan is
looking into ways to patch up th eproblem by having the central bank
intervene, which will definitely be a high possibility if the yen reaches
up to 80 per USD. Meanwhile Kan is already working up new stimulus plans,
the stim package this time around will be a bit smaller than the previous
one and may simply draw from funds in the budget that are discretionary,
and he may simply extend earlier stimulus measures. But the bottom line is
that the economy is slowing notably and he will use whatever tools he can
to shield the economy. However his leadership is now seriously under
pressure as DPJ elections (intra-party elections) will be held in
September and the most influential member of the party, Ichiro Ozawa, is
running for party leadership. Ozawa was ousted by Kan and his fellows in
June, but then the DPJ suffered election defeat in July and Ozawa is back
on the rise. THe only reason this matters is because it (1) shows that
Ozawa is still casting his fate in with the DPJ, not breaking off and
forming a new party, which is always a threat with him (2) the DPJ is
factionalizing just like the LDP before it, so it doesn't look to be
capable of forming a new decisive leadership style.
RUSSIA - Review - The grain crisis in Russia appears to be spreading
throughout the FSU and beyond following Russia's announcement that it
would ban exports until the end of the year. Prices are on the rise, and
this could have significant effects not only on the producers exports
(Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan), but even more so on the countries they
export to, like Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Georgia. With the security
issues already on the rise in Tajikistan and the ongoing tensions in
Kyrgyzstan, this has the possibility of being potentially disruptive and
will bare watching in the coming days and weeks.
TAJIKISTAN - Review - Twenty-five Islamic militants, including 6 Russian
citizens from the North Caucasus and 4 Afghans, escaped from a prison Aug
25 in Tajikistan killing five guards. The operation to catch the escapees
has not yielded any results so far after a part of eastern Tajikistan,
including the Romit canyon (45 km to the northeast of the Tajik capital of
Dushanbe), had been combed. Representatives of all law-enforcement and
security bodies of Tajikistan are involved in the search operation, and
Russia's security services said it will assist Tajikistan security with
the search.
UKRAINE - Ahead - Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich will travel to
Germany Aug 30, where he will meet with Germany's Chancellor Angela
Merkel. Ukraine has maintained its stance of adopting a duel vector
foreign policy and touting further efforts at Euro integration, and the
fact that Yanukovich is going to Germany is noteworthy as this is Russia's
preferred partner to deal with all things Euro.Yanukovich has shadowed
this strategy, as it much more effective to get things done through Berlin
than it is through Brussels as a whole. It is likely Russia will be
closely consulted on the meeting and a Russia-Germany meeting should be
not be too far off.
MOLDOVA - Ahead - Moldova will hold a referendum on Sep 5 on whether the
constitution should be amended or not in order to elect Moldova's resident
directly at nationwide polls. While this won't happen until net week, the
politicking will be in full swing this following week, including from
players like Romania, Ukraine, and Russia. Tensions have been on the rise
between Romania and Ukraine, with Bucharest accusing Kiev of meddling in
the affairs of Moldova and Transniestria, and threating to stoke Romanian
minorities in western Ukraine if this goes too far. Meanwhile Russia has
been turning the heat on Moldova by adding fruit to the list of exports it
has banned from the country. In short, Moldova has become a critical
country to watch at a critical time.
Europeans are trying to enjoy the last days of vacation, but with an eye
towards what should be a difficult September when France, Spain and the
U.K. will all attempt to push through their 2011 budgets. Italy is
meanwhile becoming increasingly unstable, with Berlusconi likely looking
to call elections when everyone comes back from Ferragosto. This week was
another light week, with the highlight probably the trip by the German
foreign minister Guido Westerwelle to the Balkans. It was the first time a
high ranking official from an EU country tied Belgrade's acceptance of
Kosovo independence to its chances of EU accession. This will likely cause
quite a stir in Belgrade, where the pro-EU government is now ruling on an
illogical platform -- both pro EU and both inflexible on Kosovo. This will
force Belgrade to either give in to the EU demands -- bringing on itself
the fury of the nationalists -- or give up the EU -- bringing on itself
the fury of its own constituency. Not an enviable position to be in.
Week Ahead
Next week we have two key visits that we will watch carefully. First, the
Polish new President Bronislaw Komorowski makes his first official trip as
the Polish President to Brussels, Paris and Berlin -- in that order. This
is very significant because it shows that Warsaw is orienting towards the
EU and Germany, Komorowski's PR is emphasizing this. It is indicative of
the shifts in Polish thinking on its relationship with Germany, and
therefore coincidentally with the U.S. Second, Turkish President Gul is
going to Sarajevo, Bosnia. This is a key visit ahead of the October
general elections in BiH. Nationalist tensions have been rising in BiH as
we have expected them to becuase of the elections. Gul is trying to
illustrate to the Europeans just how much clout the Turks have in the
FRANCE - Next week will also be interesting for France. First, France and
Russia will hold a joint naval exercise. French relationship with Russia
is key, because Paris does not want Berlin to become the only country in
Europe with good relations with Russia. And in military matters Paris
feels that it has an upper hand on the Germans. Second, we will have a
large protest/demonstration against the French government on Sept. 4 by
French opposition parties, unions and civil rights. This will be centered
on Sarkozy's security policy, but it might as well be about a lot of
different things, including the economy. Sarkozy's popularity is tanking.
ITALY/SWEDEN - We also have two important European countries -- Italy and
Sweden -- looking at potential political change. Berlusconi will likely
make up his mind in the next few weeks whether or not he wants new
elections. Meanwhile, Sweden holds elections on September 19 pitting
Moderates of Reinfeldt and Bildt against the Socialists. Socialists have
been in power in Sweden for decades until the recent run of victories by
the Moderate party. Return of the Socialists will mean end of any hope of
Swedish NATO entry, of Stockholm as a counter to Russian influence in the
Baltic and probable return to economic policies of the 1980s and 1970s.
IRAN - There has been lots of unusual activity throughout the region this
week related to Iran suggesting that the risk of the United States
exercising the military option is at an all time high. These includes
visits, meetings, phone calls, and even violence involving Hezbollah.
Militiamen from the Lebanese Shia movement in an expected turn of events
engaged in gunbattles with a pro-Syrian Sunni hetrodox sect in the
Lebanese capital. In a rare move, the King of the Shia majority Persian
Gulf Arab island nation of Bahrain traveled to Egypt to meet with
President Hosni Mubarak. U.S. air force commanders were in Riyadh to hold
talks with their Saudi counterparts and the Saudi kingdom re-deployed its
forces on both sides of the border with Yemen in what was described as a
pre-emptive move against Yemen's pro-Iranian al-Houthi Zaydi rebels. The
Iranians have been busy as well displaying new weapon systems, issuing
some strange statements saying that conflict with the west could last at
least another 3-5 years and that the days of aggressive confrontation
between U.S. and Iran are over that U.S.-Iranian relations were entering a
period of cold war. Meanwhile, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
closest buddy, relative, chief of staff whom he made his special envoy to
the ME is doing the regional round. He handed a message from his boss to
the Kuwaiti emir. Clearly something is afoot and we need to figure out
what is happening.
PAKISTAN - International aid to help with the floods continues to pour in
slowly. Meanwhile, there was a fresh evacuation of about half a million
people in southern Sindh where the torrents remain a threat. Elsewhere, a
day after the U.S. warned that Taliban rebels plan to attack foreigners
help with flood relief in the country, the main Taliban rebel grouping
issued a statement confirming that they would target the westerners. There
is also lots of chatter about the need for army to takeover while the
civilian govt has dispatched the int min to go to some GCC countries to
seek assistance for the floods after the guy visited Iran. The country's
finance minister and central bank chief are in DC today to hold talks with
the IMF leadership on how to deal with the impact of the floods on the
economy. Here again we have lots of moving parts that need to be closely
tracked in addition to our efforts to get a better sense of where things
stand with the extent of damage. We had some clarity this week but it is
clearly not enough. So we need to continue to dig into it.
IRAQ - In addition to the U.S. announcing that less than 50,000 American
troops remained in country - a week ahead of the Aug 31 deadline, we have
had what appears to be a key moves on the part of the Shia to sort out
their internal differences and then band with the Kurds to then negotiate
a power-sharing agreement with the Sunnis from the position of strength.
The al-Sadrites said they would engage in serious talks next week to break
the intra-Shia gridlock over the issue of who gets to be pm. A key leader
of al-Hakim's group also said that their bloc had agreed to al-Maliki
being a candidate for pm in addition to candidates from their bloc and
that the final candidate would be selected via internal voting in the
merged Shia bloc. There are also signs of internal trouble brewing among
the Sunnis with a key leader of the Allawi group saying that there is
disagreement within the group over which faction gets which Cabinet
position. Seems like the Iranians have gotten their warring proxies to
move on this issue and the Sunni internal problems would be music to their
ears but we'll need to see what happens next week.
SOUTH AFRICA - More than one million public sector workers continued their
strike in South Africa this past week, and at present, show no sign of
relenting. In fact, there are indications that the strike could not only
persist in the coming week, but actually expand. The Congress of South
African Trade Unions (COSATU), which is the main organization leading the
nationwide strike (though there are other unaffiliated unions involved as
well), said Aug. 26 that it has filed a 7-day notice to expand the action
to the mining and manufacturing industries. If this were to happen, the
strikes would take on a much more economically damaging nature, as the
mining sector is the heart and soul of the South African economy. In
addition, a leading police union is threatening to join the strike this
weekend (though this same union, the Police and Prisons Civil Rights
Union, issued similar threats during the last massive public sector strike
in the country back in 2007, but never followed through). All of this is
occuring as rumors continue to spread that leading figures in the ruling
African National Congress (ANC) party are unhappy with the leadership of
President Jacob Zuma.
Meanwhile, Zuma spent much of this past week on a state visit to China,
the fourth and final BRIC nation he has visited since becoming president
in April 2009. He signed a total of 12 investment deals while there, most
notably a $30 billion deal to build a high speed rail link connecting
Johannesburg to Durban. There are hints that Standard Bank (20 percent
Chinese owned) will be called upon to provide loans for the deal, with the
South African government being asked to fork over 30 percent of the
project's total costs. While this is an interesting development in and of
itself, what is more interesting from a South African geopolitical
perspective is not whether or not the Chinese are going to build an
expensive rail network in the country, but how Zuma is juggling the
imperatives of bringing in outside investment from China with his own
domestic political problems. While on the surface, $30 billion seems like
a good thing for all, there is the potential that the 40 percent
unemployed in the country will see it differently, as the Chinese
reputation for hiring only Chinese workers is well known; a huge
infrastructure project like this is thus not guaranteed at all to help the
common South African, meaning it won't do much to aid Zuma's slumping
SOMALIA - Mogadishu suffered its bloodiest week in months this past week,
as al Shabaab conducted its first major attack since the July 11 suicide
bombings in Kampala. The violence began in earnest late Aug. 23, when al
Shabaab attacked a base maintained by pro-government Islamist militia Ahlu
Sunna Waljamaah (ASWJ). The jihadist group was repelled, and was then
attacked by AMISOM peacekeepers, who entered al Shabaab controlled
neighborhoods in armored cars, with artillery fire pounding the Bakara
Market so much so that the market had to be closed as a result. After a
brief lull in fighting, a handful of al Shabaab special forces conducted a
suicide attack at the Muna Hotel in southern Mogadishu, well inside of the
territory controlled by the Transitional Federal Government (TFG). Among
the some 33 dead in the Muna Hotel attack were around 10 Somali government
MP's. Al Shabaab chose to demonstrate its capability to reach almost
anywhere in the Somali capital the day after AMISOM announced that the
reinforcements pledged during last months AU summit had begun to arrive in
the capital. While no actual territory was exchanged during this week's
battles (which continued for a third day before finally settling), it
appears that both sides are preparing to escalate the battle for Mogadishu
at the moment.
MEXICO - The Los Zetas organization appears to on its heels in the fight
for control of Northeastern Mexico with its rivals in the New Federation.
Their desperate state could prompt the organization to take some brash
measures to ensure that they remain relevant on the drug trafficking and
organized crime scene in northeastern Mexico. Additionally, the use of
IEDs placed in cars appears to have gained some traction, particularly in
the Cd. Victoria region and could result in wider spread use and a
possible increase in size and sophostication as the bomb makers perfect
their craft.
VENEZUELA - The countdown to the VZ legislative elections has begun. We
need to monitor closely any signs of real opposition activity that could
cause some real disruption in the lead up to the elections, but so far it
looks like they've been subdued quite effectively. It also looks like the
Chinese are squeezing the Venezuelans for the first part of their $4bn
loan. We need to keep track of VZ-China dealings closely as the economic
situation turns more desperate.
COLOMBIA/VZ - Colombia and VZ are still working very closely together,
which means something more has to be going on. If Santos was targeted
directly by FARC/ELN especially, he can't afford to play nice with VZ
without getting results on FARC. Keep hitting the insight on this.
US/COLOMBIA - The status of the US-Colombian basing deal remains unclear.
So far doesn't look like operations have been disrupted to any great
degree, but we need to see if Santos actually ends up getting
Congressional approval for the deal. If not, is he willing to face the
domestic backlash over that?

About microRNAs
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are recently discovered, naturally occurring small RNAs that act as protein regulators and have the potential to form the basis for a new class of diagnostics and therapeutics. Since many diseases are caused by the abnormal activity of proteins, the ability to selectively regulate protein activity through microRNAs could provide the means to treat a wide range of human diseases. In addition, microRNAs have been shown to have different expression levels in certain diseased versus normal tissues. As a result, these differences potentially provide for a novel diagnostic strategy for many diseases. MicroRNAs are thought to play a key role in the differentiation of cells into specific cell types performing various functions in the body.

Today, it's undeniable: Jazzercise is a worldwide empire, spanning more than 1,800 locations and 32,000 weekly classes across the globe. It's also hip; gone are the leotards and legwarmers of the 1980s, replaced with a high-intensity blend of cardio, strength training, kickboxing and power yoga performed to hits by chart-toppers from Shakira to Justin Timberlake. The class formats, which vary according to different toning goals, are just as diverse as the program's move set, with recent additions such as Fusion, Core, and Strike broadening the workouts' variety and application. Instructors cultivate a noncompetitive atmosphere where all exercisers are welcome regardless of age, build, or fitness background. This sense of community keeps Jazzercise devotees coming back, but so too do the results; benefits ranging from weight loss and boosted core strength to increased flexibility and stress relief.
Jazzercise's continued success can be traced to the innovation of its founder, Judi Sheppard Missett. While teaching jazz dance in the 1960s, she decided to step away from tradition by offering an experimental class that allowed her students to simply dance without the judgment of mirrors or the constraints of rigid technique. Little did she know that this ?just for fun? class was the prototype for what would become the Jazzercise sensation.
The Social Canvas's founder Francesca Bessett is dedicated to inspiring students and supporting local businesses through art classes hosted at area watering holes. During group classes, she guides students through step-by-step painting instruction as they swill cocktails and color their canvases with masterpieces ranging from landscapes to abstract designs. There are also theme nights scheduled throughout the year, including classes dedicated to recreating Van Gogh's "A Starry Night," among other famous paintings.
The house lights dim, and stage lights begin to brighten. As they rise, so do voices from a huddle of children at center stage. Their voices ring out clear and clean, unhindered by heavy instrumental accompaniment, a homage to the songbirds on Glee. In fact, this stage is set by Desert Sun Performing Arts' class of the same name. At Glee class, kids harmonize and move to Top 40 hits and Broadway classics. The class is one of the performing-arts offerings at the dance studio, which also holds classes in contemporary dance, ballet, jazz, lyrical, and tap.
Rather than allowing its students to learn photography in the comfort of an air-conditioned classroom, Misty Mountain Photo Tours coaxes them out into the wilderness. Serving a dual function as guides and instructors, professional photographers illuminate the technical basics and creative applications of DSLR cameras in an outdoor setting. Then, during hands-on tours to locations such as Saguaro Lake, they show students how to apply what they've learned to snap photos of wildlife and majestic desert landscapes.
As a 23-year-old junior, Tom Hatten didn't spend his evenings at the raucous parties or ice-cream socials associated with college life. Instead, he'd spend the waning hours of his evenings waiting by the dryer for the last batch of towels before collapsing into bed. In the morning, he would lug them to Mountainside Fitness, the gym he opened as a student that he has thrown all his energy into maintaining ever since.
Today, the humble 4,800-square-foot space has bloomed into nine gyms that average a sweeping 41,000 square feet. Tom's vision of creating a friendly neighborhood gym that greets each guest with a warm towel underscores every decision he makes for the different locations, from the colorful kid-care spaces to the entertaining group fitness classes. Personal trainers plan regimens tailored to each client, helping them lose weight, build muscle, or target the muscles that will help build a better golf game. Clients can create their own routines with the help of cardio and weight machines, or explore the different amenities at each location, such as saunas, rock-climbing walls, and indoor basketball courts.
At Inner Vision Yoga, yoga isn't just a form of exercise, it's a lifestyle. The company hosts more than 100 classes a week across two locations, with a style?hot, vinyasa, yin, kundalini?to suit any type of yoga devotee. What's more, the classes are divided into four tiers, ranging from "soothing and powerful" to "it's a workout", so newcomers can easily identify classes that will help them build a foundation for future practice. The center even offers a kids' yoga class where students ages 5-12 can strengthen their imaginations, as well as their bodies.
In addition to classes, Inner Vision Yoga educates the next generation of yogis through teacher-certification programs. The calendar of events also includes week-long yoga retreats, which are packed with activities and workshops and held at exotic locations such as Japan, the Caribbean, and the primate enclosure at the local zoo.

Happybuntu! 5 Years Ubuntu
The Ubuntu community has a lot to celebrate this month: on October 16, 2004 the German ubuntuusers.de went online for the first time and October 20 of the same year saw the release of Ubuntu 4.10, alias Warty Warthog.
Ubuntu 9.10 is scheduled for release at the end of this month, almost exactly 5 years after the first Ubuntu release ever. Warty came with a 2.6.8 kernel, XFree86 4.3, Gnome 2.8, (not to be confused with Gnome 2.28) and Firefox 0.9.3.
ISO images of Ubuntu 4.10 are still available for download. Along with x86 and amd64 versions, the first release also included a PowerPC variant for MacBooks. The rapid success of Ubuntu can be contributed to a number of factors. Firstly, the distro is based on Debian, and apart from the first LTS version, has always achieved its release-date goals (X.04 in April, X.10 in October). Also, Ubuntu has increased the acceptability of Live-CDs and made sudo, the simple admin without root-rights de facto default.
Ubuntu's stringent menu management is also considered one of the distro's great strengths: discounting a few small details, individual sub-menus still contain the same programs found in version 4.10. In German speaking countries, Ubuntu has definitely profited from Novell's takeover of SUSE and the technical immaturity of SUSE version 10.x.

One Love, Two Cultures: Making It Work
By Kate Feld
My unhappiness took the shape of an endless litany of small complaints—the showers were lousy, the television was a joke, the clothes all looked the same, the trains didn't run late enough, you couldn't get a good cup of coffee (or burger, or burrito, or spicy tuna handroll) anywhere.
But couples that can weather so many practical obstacles together often emerge with unshakeable lifelong bonds.
Take Laura Yasso, 32, and her husband, Fernando Ballester, 34. The couple met during Yasso's college year abroad in Valencia, Spain; when she couldn't find work there after graduation, he joined her in New York City. She supported both of them while he job-hunted … for six years.
"It put a strain on our relationship," Yasso says. "We had to live with my family at first, because we couldn't aff ord our own place on one income. I couldn't switch jobs or pursue a lot of my own personal goals because I always had to make sure I had steady employment. I was the sole breadwinner, and then I would come home and have to do all the housework. I was living with someone who didn't know how to do the laundry or make the bed."
Ballester—now gainfully employed—wasn't fazed by having to depend on his wife and her family. Yasso believes this is because Spain is more accepting of adults who are financially supported by their families. "I think a different man wouldn't have been able to do it," she says. "I've always supported myself, and when I couldn't earn a living in Spain, I had to leave because I just couldn't deal with that. But Fernando doesn't have that machismo about money. He knew our relationship was the most important thing."
Compromise is a part of every relationship, but it's absolutely essential in a cross-cultural dynamic. "You have to be openminded, and be prepared to give a little all the time," says Autumn Bangoura, 33, a French teacher who lives in Burlington, VT. She and her husband, Ismael, 32, a traditional drum instructor from West Africa, were raised with very diff erent notions about the division of labor in a marriage, especially when it comes to caring for their two children, Khadija, 7, and Gracie, 2.
"I'm a feminist at heart, and I always had this sort of white picket fence vision of a husband who does everything with the babies and isn't grossed out by a changing a diaper," Bangoura says.

�America�s funniest science writer� (Washington Post) takes us down the hatch on an unforgettable tour. The alimentary canal is classic Mary Roach terrain: the questions explored in Gulp are as taboo, in their way, as the cadavers in Stiff and every bit as surreal as the universe of zero gravity explored in Packing for Mars. Why is crunchy food so appealing? Why is it so hard to find words for flavors and smells? Why doesn�t the stomach digest itself? How much can you eat before your stomach bursts? Can constipation kill you? Did it kill Elvis? In Gulp we meet scientists who tackle the questions no one else thinks of�or has the courage to ask. We go on location to a pet-food taste-test lab, a fecal transplant, and into a live stomach to observe the fate of a meal. With Roach at our side, we travel the world, meeting murderers and mad scientists, Eskimos and exorcists (who have occasionally administered holy water rectally), rabbis and terrorists�who, it turns out, for practical reasons do not conceal bombs in their digestive tracts.Like all of Roach�s books, Gulp is as much about human beings as it is about human bodies.

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Then I saw a vision of the Lord standing beside the altar. He said, "Strike the tops of the Temple columns so hard that the foundation will shake. Smash the columns so the roof will crash down on the people below. Then those who survive will be slaughtered in battle. No one will escape!" | 1 I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and he said: "Strike the tops of the pillars so that the thresholds shake. Bring them down on the heads of all the people; those who are left I will kill with the sword. Not one will get away, none will escape. |
2 "Even if they dig down to the place of the dead, I will reach down and pull them up. Even if they climb up into the heavens, I will bring them down. | 2 Though they dig down to the depths of the grave, from there my hand will take them. Though they climb up to the heavens, from there I will bring them down. |
3 Even if they hide at the very top of Mount Carmel, I will search them out and capture them. Even if they hide at the bottom of the ocean, I will send the great sea serpent after them to bite and destroy them. | 3 Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, there I will hunt them down and seize them. Though they hide from me at the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent to bite them. |
4 Even if they are driven into exile, I will command the sword to kill them there. I am determined to bring disaster upon them and not to help them." | 4 Though they are driven into exile by their enemies, there I will command the sword to slay them. I will fix my eyes upon them for evil and not for good." |
5 The Lord, the LORD Almighty, touches the land and it melts, and all its people mourn. The ground rises like the Nile River at floodtime, and then it sinks again. | 5 The Lord, the LORD Almighty, he who touches the earth and it melts, and all who live in it mourn-- the whole land rises like the Nile, then sinks like the river of Egypt-- |
6 The upper stories of the LORD's home are in the heavens, while its foundation is on the earth. He draws up water from the oceans and pours it down as rain on the land. The LORD is his name! | 6 he who builds his lofty palace in the heavens and sets its foundation on the earth, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land-- the LORD is his name. |
7 "Do you Israelites think you are more important to me than the Ethiopians?" asks the LORD. "I brought you out of Egypt, but have I not done as much for other nations, too? I brought the Philistines from Crete and led the Arameans out of Kir." | 7 "Are not you Israelites the same to me as the Cushites ?" declares the LORD. "Did I not bring Israel up from Egypt, the Philistines from Caphtor and the Arameans from Kir? |
8 "I, the Sovereign LORD, am watching this sinful nation of Israel, and I will uproot it and scatter its people across the earth. Yet I have promised that I will never completely destroy the family of Israel," says the LORD. | 8 "Surely the eyes of the Sovereign LORD are on the sinful kingdom. I will destroy it from the face of the earth-- yet I will not totally destroy the house of Jacob," declares the LORD. |
9 "For I have commanded that Israel be persecuted by the other nations as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not one true kernel will be lost. | 9 "For I will give the command, and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations as grain is shaken in a sieve, and not a pebble will reach the ground. |
10 But all the sinners will die by the sword -- all those who say, 'Nothing bad will happen to us.'" | 10 All the sinners among my people will die by the sword, all those who say, 'Disaster will not overtake or meet us.' |
11 "In that day I will restore the fallen kingdom of David. It is now like a house in ruins, but I will rebuild its walls and restore its former glory. | 11 "In that day I will restore David's fallen tent. I will repair its broken places, restore its ruins, and build it as it used to be, |
12 And Israel will possess what is left of Edom and all the nations I have called to be mine. I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will do these things." | 12 so that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations that bear my name," declares the LORD, who will do these things. |
13 "The time will come," says the LORD, "when the grain and grapes will grow faster than they can be harvested. Then the terraced vineyards on the hills of Israel will drip with sweet wine! | 13 "The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills. |
14 I will bring my exiled people of Israel back from distant lands, and they will rebuild their ruined cities and live in them again. They will plant vineyards and gardens; they will eat their crops and drink their wine. | 14 I will bring back my exiled people Israel; they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit. |
15 I will firmly plant them there in the land I have given them," says the LORD your God. "Then they will never be uprooted again." | 15 I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them," says the LORD your God. |

Isn't private equity a beautiful thing?
The advantages solve so many problems. There are always trade-offs in considering long- versus short-term results. A company's operations - the quality, depth, and ramifications of a company's decisions - can be really difficult for stockholders to understand. Then there's the influence of trying to do things that will be well-received on the Street. You can make decisions that are not good for the ongoing strength and growth of the company.
Cerberus has backed up Chrysler in supporting a $3-billion-a-year investment in capital expenditures, and there are an awful lot of funds earmarked for development of technology, vehicles, plant equipment that will improve quality, and more efficient production.
Could you explain the relationship of the triumvirate - you, co-president Tom LaSorda, and CEO Bob Nardelli?
The proposed organization chart reminded me a little of when Toyota started up in the early days. We brought together disparate individuals that created an interesting synergy that no one could match. So here you've got Bob Nardelli, who is a world-class executive [from GE and The Home Depot] with an understanding of business principles that apply to any business. He brings to us a sort of top of the umbrella that connects demand and supply. Tom is supply, and I'm demand. It makes a lot of sense.
Tom is also the keeper of the flame. He's fourth-generation Chrysler. He has the tribal knowledge, he understands the heritage, and he has the passion. You put the three of us together, and we can make good, quality decisions; we can have good vision; and we can focus the organization.
You built Toyota from a limited number of models to a full-line car company. Here, you have to filter it back down . . .
First, I didn't build Toyota up; I had the honor of working with people who contributed an awful lot. So I have some knowledge of what is needed for success. It was a long, arduous process. Here, you've got the framework. The bones are good. You have to make some adjustments, refocus some priorities, instead of starting with a clean sheet of paper. We can build on that much faster than at Toyota, where we started with nothing. We had to wait for the trees to grow. There ar6e engineers here with twenty, thirty years of experience. The products have a really solid base. But I think we can do a lot better job of getting them in tune with what the customer wants.
We think the lineup is pretty fractured . . .
In some ways, the K-car hatched the egg of the segment where the Camry is. The K-car was the first one; it was the right size and a front-drive sedan. The poor company has now gone through all these iterations, but the core of that K-car is still here. How much easier will it be to create an effective Camry competitor building on that foundation? People here know how to do it because they've done it. Focused on the right priorities, we can build world-class products faster than people think.
Any Chrysler dealers left have been through the fire. What are they telling you?
Isn't it true that the hottest fire makes the strongest steel? They are giving me good feedback. There's complexity we don't need and features we do need. We need visual appeal.
Any cars you're going to push off the cliff?
We have models that overlap - two or three vehicles that serve the same customer - and that's not efficient. We also have markets where we have insufficient coverage. We're developing a long-term strategic vision, not just a quick answer, of what the product portfolio should look like five to twelve years from now. And then where the current product fits in. We need to make sure we're executing product direction from the customer. [Chrysler announced on November 1 that it will discontinue production of the Dodge Magnum, the Chrysler Pacifica, the Chrysler PT Cruiser convertible, and the Chrysler Crossfire - Ed.]
Will you make a Demon for us?
OK. I don't know what it is, but . . .
Give it another week and you'll know everything.

New American Standard (NAS) | New International Version (NIV) |
12 Then they removed the burnt offerings that they might give them to the sections of the fathers' households of the lay people to present to the LORD , as it is written in the book of Moses. They did this also with the bulls. | 12 They set aside the burnt offerings to give them to the subdivisions of the families of the people to offer to the LORD, as is written in the Book of Moses. They did the same with the cattle. |

This was a great stay in the Calistoga area
5 on October 01, 2014
After reviewing several bed and breakfast places within the Napa Valley we settled on staying at Aurora Park Cottages. From the moment we booked our reservation we were treated with the utmost personal service, from personally calling us to thank us and confirm our reservation to the letter in the mail confirming our reservation, the personal service was outstanding. The stay was better than expected! The food arrived promptly every morning at 830, with warm pastries, fruit and juice. After we booked our room the owners sent us a detailed list of local wineries, which we did go to several and their recommendations were perfect, in fact one of the wineries they recommended the winery knew the owners. When we come back to Napa Valley we will no doubt stay at Aurora Park.
4.8 on September 15, 2014
If you want to stay in a neat place, this is where to come. We have stayed here several times and will definitely be back.
4.6 on September 08, 2014
everything was perfect!
3.8 on September 01, 2014
This was our second trip to Aurora Park and the Calistoga area. As with our first, we enjoyed the area and the accommodations. Aurora Park has the coziness of a Bed & Breakfast, but due to the separate cottages is far more private.
4.6 on August 27, 2014
Nice set of cottages just outside Calistoga downtown. It fit perfectly into our plans for a weekend of visiting wineries with the comfort of not having to driving back home too far. Well-maintained rooms and rather posh rooms. Hosts were very nice people.
4.4 on August 17, 2014
Cottages are very cozy, quit, and private. The daily pastries and fruit were fresh and very tasty! Innkeeper, Kate Hegre goes above and beyond in making sure you feel welcome and valued.
4.8 on August 14, 2014
Everything was perfect here! The service, the breakfast, the people, the staff, the surroundings. It was a perfect place for a honeymoon. Thanks for everything!
4.8 on July 28, 2014
We had an amazing weekend at Aurora Park Cottages! Kate is the definitive Innkeeper, making sure we had everything we needed and that all our questions were answered. She and Joe graciously and quickly addressed a problem with the water heater in our room and actually made us feel MORE taken care of in the way they dealt with it. We are so looking forward to returning again to the Cottages, not only for the hospitality, but for its proximity to the town and surrounding attractions of Calistoga. Thank you, Aurora Park Cottages!
5 on July 18, 2014
Aurora Park cottages was the best possible place for us to stay for our first family adventure in California. I wanted a homey, cozy atmosphere with breakfast every morning and knowledgeable staff to help us navigate the area and the wineries. The owners Joe and Celeste and their innkeeper Kate have the art of hospitality down to a science. Our group consisted of myself, my husband, my mom and dad and my four year old daughter Eliza. Every step in planning was guided by the very well prepared and kind reservation letter, tasting notes, vineyard tips, restaurant recommendations and more. I felt like we had a built in travel agent at all times because the innkeeper Kate helped us with booking tastings, directions to drive to the coast and redwoods and little known tips like a beautiful town pool for Eliza to go swimming. I could go on and on about the town of Calistoga, it is so quaint and charming, be sure to spend some time browsing and eating and tasting. The cottage was spacious and so comfortable. The beds were incredible and we especially loved the high quality sheets and bedding. Eliza loved alternating which cottage she stayed in, one night with grandma, one night with mom. The breakfast nook was always replenished and cleaned providing delicious freshly ground local coffee. The porch had a table and chairs for us to enjoy breakfast outside every morning and watch a hot air balloon, the birds of the area, or the gorgeous view. The porch was surrounded by beautiful thyme plants and lavender. The bathroom was huge! Awesome relaxing shower every morning with amazing smelling shower gel, shampoo and conditioners. Lotion from a local spa, q tips and makeup remover pads provided! There are also two huge comfy chairs and a tray with a ton of 10% off restaurant coupons and tasting discounts. We had an incredible time in Calistoga, CA staying at Aurora Park Cottages. I cannot wait to return!
Decorated with warm, welcoming tones and wine-country accents, each cottage offers a restful retreat after a day of wine tasting. Curl up on the overstuffed easy chair or sink into the down-filled bed and dream the night away. Wake to a delicious breakfast basket delivered right to your door.
