Non-Linux FOSS: Seashore
As Linux users, we tend to take programs like GIMP for granted. Thankfully, as of version 2.8.2, GIMP is available as a native application for OS X! Because everyone reading this most likely is familiar with how awesome GIMP is for photo editing, it's worth mentioning there is another open-source photo-editing application for OS X named Seashore.
Seashore is an application written in the native OS X Cocoa language, so it clearly looks like a native application when running (Figure 1). Although OS X users no longer have to install X11 in order to take advantage of GIMP, Seashore is a powerful image editor in its own right, and because it's open source, it's well worth the effort to try it out! You can download Seashore at http://seashore.sourceforge.net. The native version of GIMP is available at http://www.gimp.org/downloads.
Figure 1. Based on the interface alone, it's obvious Seashore is a native OS X application.

My personal opinion
Actually i am a huge fan of Linux.But honestly seashore is not as good as you describe d.Probably it is because the way i use it is wrong.I am not clear about that.Anyway thanks for providing this article.BTW i agree with Thomas Lyle Brown,owning a Nikon waterproof camera is a excellent choice for your daily life. Cheers.
Nicely explained. It's indeed an art to stop new visitors with your attractive writing style. Truly impressive and nice information. Thanks for sharing.

The fact that there's a blog post and a long discussion on something that should be taken for granted speaks volumes. Not a good catch-up strategy I'd say. I hope Google will rectify this in the next version, including a hires camera on the back. Go to any tourist spot and you'll notice people taking videos with their iPads! What will smaller iPads enable? That's right, more tourists taking videos with them. Remember the days when "calling people" used to be the primary feature on a smart-phone!?
Owning an underwater camera opens a whole world of new photography opportunities. Whether you want to preserve memories of family vacations, have a good time in the water with your friends or simply purchase the best waterproof camera that will be safe in rain, a waterproof camera is a worthy purchase.

Since everyone reading this article more than likely knows exactly how amazing GIMP is made for image croping and editing, it is well worth referfing to there is certainly another open-source photo-editing program with regard to Operating system Times named Seashore.
VoIP Switch is a software
VoIP Switch is a software platform that serves different purposes and can be used in various applications. With the use of this application the enterprises can stay connected with the remote branches and share their conversation at a cheaper call rate. The internet telephony providers can also take it as a base system and can offer VoIP services to end-users. It is a very simple and user-friendly system through which you can make calls anytime and anywhere at a local call rates. It also allows minimizing the initial investment. It is also the most preferred choice for the start ups in this rapidly growing VoIP world.
VoIP Switch can offer great savings to the home and business user, but should be done following a thorough investigation of all costs involved. When tempted by a free trial offer, carefully check the equipment that you may need to purchase, any costs that you may be eligible for and read all fine print to ensure that you fully understand any obligations.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

g(x) = e^f(x)
g'(x) = e^f(x) f'(x)
g'(1) = e^f(1) f'(1) = e^2 (-4) = -4e^2
g(1) = e^f(1) = e^2
so, you want the line through (1,e^2) with slope -4e^2:
y-e^2 = -4e^2 (x-1)
g has a max where g' = 0
since e^f > 0 for all x, g'=0 when f'=0. So, g has a max/min at x = -1 or x=3
Since f''<0 at x=-1, g is a max at x = -1.
e^f > 0
f'(-1) = 0
f''(-1) < 0
so, g''(-1) < 0
g'(3) = e^f(3) f'(3) = 0
g'(1) = -4e^2 as above
avg change is
(g'(3)-g'(1))/(3-1) = (0- -4e^2)/2 = 2e^2
Two particles move along the x -axis. For 0 is less than or equal to t is less than or equal to 6, the position of particle P at time t is given by p(t)=2cos((pi/4)t), while the position of particle R at time t is given by r(t)=t^3 -6t^2 +9t+3.
1. For 0 is less than or equal to t is less than or equal to 6, find all times t during which particle R is moving to the left. 2. for 0 is less than or equal to t is less than or equal to 6, find all times t during which the two particles travel in opposite directions. 3. Find the acceleration of particles P at time t=3. Is particle P speeding up, slowing down, or doing neither at time t=3? Explain your reasoning. 4. Show that during the interval (1,3), there must be at least one instant when the particle R must have a velocity of -2.

Allowable & Unallowable Expenses and LEA Reserves in the FS-10
No Child Left Behind
Consolidated Application Update
Title I, Parts A and D Continuation Programs
Budget Codes Allowable/Unallowable Expenses Code 15: Salaries Teachers and/or assistants should be appropriate designated according to subject areas (ELA, reading /writing/math, ESL –Language Instruction Program) with specific position titles listed. Look for Title I staff who provide direct, but supplemental, instructional services for students. Staff should only appear for academic areas, not physical education, for example. However, a parent liaison or parent coordinator may be funded.
If any administrative position listed here, a Funded Administration Position Description Form (ESEA Title I) must be submitted. Administrators such as Superintendent or Deputy Superintendent, who have districtwide overall responsibilities, are not allowed.
Base pay of principals is not allowed. They may be paid as coordinator for additional Title I services if they are a ten or eleven month employee.
Only supplemental services of guidance counselors, psychologists. social workers, etc. may be funded. Basic required PPS services may not be funded.
Language development teachers who work with Pre-K and K as part of early intervention program may be funded. Speech teachers, however, wouldn't be funded, as this is a district responsibility.
Required Special Education services, such as an Occupational Therapist, should be funded through a Special Education 94-142 application.
Title I funds must be used primarily for direct instructional services for students. Sometimes compensatory teachers are also paid a small amount as coordinators of the Title I program.
Code 16: Support Staff Salaries Salaries for appropriate staff such as teacher aides that provide non instructional duties which are specifically listed, such as CAI lab aide, filing, escorting students in early grades to restrooms, those working as translators or solely on parent involvement activities may be allowed. May fund supplemental secretarial or clerical positions.
Code 40: Purchased Services Consultant costs should be itemized, reasonable and supportive of the instructional program.
Services for this LEA's students attending a private school in another LEA appear here.Description should include the name of each private school in the neighboring LEAs where Title I services are being provided. Under the Provider of Services column, they should list the neighboring LEA providing the private school program. Calculation of cost is the number of pupils attending the private school times the PPA.
Babysitting costs related to parent involvement activities are allowed.
Code 45: Supplies and Materials Items with a unit cost under $5,000. Supplies and materials should be supplemental and listed in categories that are clearly defined.
Basic direct costs such as a Reading Series should not be covered here. However, supplemental materials for the series could be purchased for use by Title I students.
Standardized screening tests to determine student eligibility are not allowed with the exception of Pre-K screening costs if none are in place in the district. LEAs may fund scoring of standardized tests.
Diagnostic tests may be purchased, for example, Key Math, Woodcock Tests.
Materials, refreshments, etc. for parent involvement activities may be included here.
Look for excessive costs for materials and supplies that take away from direct student services.
Code 46: Travel Expenses Travel expenses are itemized appropriately including purpose and destination. Under NCLB no single day stand-alone conferences are allowed. Must be part of ongoing sustained professional development. Costs for transporting parents to meetings may appear here as well as transportation costs for after school and summer programs.
Code 80: Employee Benefits Benefits can only be claimed on staff positions identified in Codes 15 and 16, in the same proportion as FTE(s).
Code 90: Indirect Cost LEA may claim all, part or none.
Code 49: BOCES Services This could include services for an LEA's private schools and N/D facilities in a consortium operated by BOCES. Requested information should include description of the services for each private school, N/D facility, the BOCES provider, and number of pupils times the PPA.
Code 30: Minor Remodeling Title I may not fund any permanent structural items. They could buy paint, carpeting, dividers, etc. Very few LEAs use this category.
Code 20: Equipment All equipment with a unit cost of $5,000 or more. All equipment must be itemized and properly described to include quantity, unit cost and proposed expenditures. Computers for use by Title I students in labs or in compensatory support rooms are allowed.
If a LEA has a Delinquent and/ or Neglected Institutions the institutions must be listed in the Budget and Budget Narrative by name under the correct budget code where services will be provided. Title I Part A and D funds must be on one budget. Part A and D should equal total allocation that is listed for the LEA for Title I.
LEA Reserves in the FS-10 for Title I
If the LEA has non-Title I schools a reserve must appear in the Title I FS-10 to cover services provided to homeless students. The LEA can use the per pupil amount for Title I or establish another amount to cover the costs for services.
If an LEA's allocation is greater than $500,000, 1 percent of the allocation must be spent for parent involvement activities that benefit parents of public and private school students. Of that 1 percent, 95 percent must go to the Title I schools for parental involvement activities.
If an LEA has resident students attending a private school in a neighboring LEA, Title I funds should be reserved under Code 40 to cover the LEA's per pupil amount times the number of poverty students attending the private school.
If the LEA has a Neglected institution, the N or D form in the consolidated application must be completed and all narrative questions answered. The Title I funds in the FS-10 must agree with the amount on the N or D form. (If the LEA has a Delinquent institution, this allocation amount is not part of the Title I Part A allocation. However, this amount needs to be included in the same Title IA FS-10 budget).
An LEA with SINI, CA and or Restructuring Schools must reserve 10 percent of the Title I funds going to that school for professional development.
An LEA in Improvement or CA must reserve 10 percent of the Title I Part A allocation for professional development activities. The 10 percent the LEA in Improvement must reserve includes the rollup of the professional development costs allocated for the SINI, CA and Restructuring Schools in the LEA.
An LEA with at least one SINI school must reserve Title I funds to cover School Choice Transportation Costs or use other funds such as Title V, local and Title I School Improvement funds to cover these costs. If there is no option for choice, the LEA should provide some additional services or SES.
An LEA with at least one SINI 2 school must reserve Title I funds to cover Supplemental Education Services costs or use other funds such as Title V, local and Title I School Improvement funds to cover these costs. The per pupil amount for SES is available at http://www.p12.nysed.gov/deputy/nclb/nclbhome.htm.
An LEA may reserve funds for professional development costs for staff. The professional development must be ongoing and continuous.
An LEA may reserve funds for administrative costs to administer the Title I program. A Funded Administrative Position Description Form must also be completed for each staff member funded to administer the Title I program.
An LEA may include indirect costs as part of the reserve for administrative costs. An LEA may take all, part or none of the indirect costs.In those situations where an LEA has Title I staff with high salaries in some schools and new teachers in others, the LEA may include the differential between the Title I staff member's base salary and the actual salary under administrative costs.
An LEA may reserve Title I funds for pre-K services that are provided and included in the FS-10.
An LEA may reserve Title I funds for Capital Expenses if there is no room for services in the private school and funds must be used for costs such as rental of a mobile unit. These costs may be needed in only a few cases.

Gold Rush holds on for homecoming win against Wiley November 21, 2009 Box score NEW ORLEANS — Michael Harvey's basket with three minutes remaining broke a tie and put Xavier University of Louisiana ahead to stay Saturday in a 60-58 men's basketball victory against Wiley. Devin Andrew led the Gold Rush (5-1) in its homecoming game with a season-high-tying 16 points. Jamaan Kenner scored a career-high 12, and Harvey had 11. Harvey's basket gave Xavier a 58-56 lead, then Andrew passed to Kenner for a basket that made it 60-56 with 24 seconds remaining. Wiley's Marquis Wright scored the game's final two points and was fouled with 20 seconds remaining, but he missed the free throw. After Andrew missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with 11 seconds remaining, Wiley missed a pair of 3-point attempts in the final five seconds. Alexander Cossey scored 12 points for Wiley (1-5), which lost its fourth in a row. Ronald Tolbert and Nathaniel Evans scored 11 apiece, and Wright had 10. Evans, who entered with an NAIA Division I-leading 12 rebounds per game, grabbed nine to lead the Wildcats. Wiley led 29-27 at halftime and 44-38 after Tolbert made a 3-pointer with 13:13 remaining. But the Rush answered with a 14-2 run — including consecutive 3-pointers by Harvey — to take a 52-46 lead at 7:55. Xavier won at The Barn for the 20th time in 23 attempts dating to February 2008. Wiley outshot Xavier 41 to 39 percent from the floor, but Xavier — with Cordell Hadnot and Denzell Erves grabbing nine rebounds apiece — had a 40-34 advantage on the boards. Both teams shot less than 60 percent from the line and missed a combined 20 free throws. The Rush defeated Wiley for the fourth straight season at home by three or fewer points. Xavier's next game will start at 7 p.m. Monday against Concordia (Ala.) at The Barn. Wiley's next game will be an exhibition next Saturday at Tarleton State.
The Xavier Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets compete in Division I of the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) as a member of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference (GCAC). Xavier fields men's and women's teams in basketball, cross country and tennis.

5 Oooo my godtheGman123 | 23/11/2007 | See all theGman123's reviews (2)its a amazing i played it 8 hours the night i got it
2 Guitar Hero 3 -WIIsavbmw | 22/11/2007 | See all savbmw's reviews (1)Anyone who buys this game is going to want decent sound, maybe I'm wrong but 'Legends of Rock' means great guitar riffs and a thumping beat. Well this offering produces the sound in mono, yes that's right, mono. It's 2007 and everything is Dolby Pro Logic - apart from the one game that you would expect. It's a great game but wait until Activision sort this mess out - you have been warned!
5 Awesome, Just, AwesomeElement | 11/01/2008 | See all Element's reviews (17)A great game that you can play for days on end and never get bored, or stop playing, go back to it, and love it wondering why you stopped.It has numerous songs all of which get challenging in different ways as your progress through the difficulties (the difficulty levels becoming really elite this time around, hard is harder than GH 2 Expert).The one problem that i can find with the wii is that if your trying to play it and be quiet there is no way of turning the sound on the wii remote down, on other platforms the sound is out of the TV or stereo speakers which ruins normal gameplay but allows it to be played silently. But that said against the wii controller the precision and looks of the wiis controller surpass PS3 and XBOX360 quite easily.All in all it is still a great game and i'd recommend every play this instead of bothering with Rock Band...(P.S. Another good thing about GH3 for the Wii, those skilled enough can use the Wii Remotes as a guitar and not need to buy additional guitars!)
4 Rocking, but not all over the world.Rodimus | 06/12/2007 | See all Rodimus's reviews (20)Guitar hero has written itself in to game folklore over the years, and for the first time on a Nintendo console wii owners can rock out.First off, the guitar is superb, the best of the 3 next gen consoles.The song selection for the most is pretty good, but some seem out of place, but I love my metal so things Like 'Ruby' I could do without!If you are new to guitar hero, you are a bit out of luck as this is the hardest version yet, even on medium, sone songs throw chords at you at such a random and rapid pace that they feel more like a hard setting.(See: Raining Blood and Dragonforce!)Also, the Wii version for some bizzare reason is recorded in mono, meaning alot of the sound is actually very poor, and as Nintendo are behind in the online world, at the moment you will only have the songs that are on the disc.Overall, if you have never played before and don't have a PS3 or 360, grab the game and have some fun, if you have a guitar on other versions, then I would avoid the wii version
3 Not bad but...GixxerDrei | 12/12/2007 | See all GixxerDrei's reviews (47)You know I didn't even realise the game was MONO only... beats me, I am sure in the setup you have Stereo, might be wrong.The song list is what buggs me also, I have a memory card of 4GB in my Wii which is not used at all... all saves are on the Wii itself, so I would have plenty of pscae fro new songs.There are so many songs that could have made it on this version but... we'll have to do with what we got. It is my first guitar hero and as I don't own an Xbox or a PS3 I will have to live with this, I really wouldn't bother playing it on my PC.I was going to give it a 5 Star... that's how much I loved it but after reading the other reviews and the fact that the other consoles have better deals... well I decided to drop 2 stars. MONO sound?? no downloadable content...

Councilman Christopher Herndon, rookie of the year, and other 5280 winners
Posted By Lynn Bartels On July 11, 2012 @ 1:52 pm In 2012 Colorado Legislative Election,Colorado Legislature,Colorado Politics,Denver City Hall,Sports | 1 Comment
Denver City Councilman Christopher Herndon [2] has been pegged as someone to watch since he took office a year ago, which is why it comes as no surprise that he's the "editor's choice" of rookie politician by 5280.
The magazine is out with its annual Top of the Town list [3], and several political types make the cut in a good or a bad way, including state Sen. Mike Johnston [4], Gov. John Hickenlooper [5] and radio talk show host Mike Rosen [6]. Here's an example:
Politicians to vote out of office: 5280 selected Secretary of State Scott Gessler, for the second year in a row [7]. Readers went for President Obama [8], also for the second year.
Here's what 5280 had to say about Herndon:
American politics needs help at all levels, and Christopher Herndon is just the type of politician who may provide some — dare we say it? — hope. The former West Pointer and Army captain was elected in 2011 as District 11's councilman. Representing the city's northeast side means Herndon's avid curiosity and team-oriented approach is a key force in negotiations and planning for improvements (such as light rail lines and commercial development) that will affect all citizens of Denver. Here's to the future. denvergov.org/christopherherndon
The reader's choice was Michael Hancock [9], who held the seat Herndon now represents before being elected Denver mayor a year ago.
In other categories:
Politicians we love: 5280 picked Johnston and explained why [10], while readers picked Hickenlooper, who took office in 2011.
Power couple: 5280 chose John Elway and Peyton Manning, saying "no hitched couple could stir up a bigger media frenzy, command greater reverence, or fill a city with more hope than this pair."
In my circle, the winner might be Rachel Boxer, spokeswoman for U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner [13], and Andy George, who oversees the GOP effort to win the state House and Senate. The couple was married March 10, with state Sen. Greg Brophy [14] officiating.

Brothers create sinfully delicious wines
By W. Peter Hoyne
Fun stuff: The 2010 Petite-Petit plays off a circus theme with a picuture of an elephant which pershaps depicts the large expressive nature of the Petite Sirah and Petite Verdot grapes that comprise the blend. | Larry Ruehl~Sun-Times Media

The Phillips family has been farming near Lodi since the 1860s. Located 80 miles southeast of San Francisco, Lodi is the heart of California's produce market, which expanded into the more lucrative grape-growing business with farmers selling their bulk grapes to Ernest & Julio Gallo, Mondavi Woodbridge and Constellation brands. The Phillips brothers had a greater vision, with older brother Michael, a fifth-generation Lodi grape grower, deciding to venture into winemaking while bonding his own winery in 1984. His brother David had a background in marketing and business and came on board in 1989. Together they made history with a portfolio of wines that were a pure sensory indulgence.
What is different about Michael and David Phillips is that they embraced wines that were pleasurable and affordable. Initially, they introduced a seven vineyard blend of Zinfandel named 7 Deadly Zins because of their catholic schooling, which inevitably became one of their best-selling wines. Currently there are four tiers of wines, all at different price points including a line of single appellation Zinfandels called Lust, Gluttony, Sloth etc. Although the Phillips brothers don't take themselves seriously, their followers will discover these wines to be seriously extracted with a fruit-driven style that may be described as hedonistic. Their original fruit stand from the 1970s still exists today and serves as the backdrop to promote their wines in an informal setting.
The 2010 Petite-Petit plays off a circus theme with a picture of an elephant which perhaps depicts the large expressive nature of the Petite Sirah and Petite Verdot grapes that comprise the blend. Black and boisterous with a slight orange peel nose and endless layers of fully ripe mulberry and boysenberry marmalade fruit that persists into a lovely tapered finish. There is a weekend full of enjoyment in this bottle. If you're adventurous you may also want to indulge in their 2009 Freakshow Cabernet Sauvignon.

Pets Fur People is a selective admission, life-sustaining animal sanctuary. Our mission is to provide a temporary haven for the animals in our care, until they find their forever families. We are committed to reduce and ultimately eliminate euthanasia as an acceptable method of population control for unwanted dogs and cats. We promote the positive results of spay/neuter programs to reduce dog and cat overpopulation, and pride ourselves in teaching responsible pet guardianship.
The Humane Society of East Texas was established in 1963 by concerned citizens after they visited the City of Tyler's inadequate animal impoundment facility. At that time, animals were housed in one small building regardless of the health of the animals. The Society requested that the Tyler impoundment facilities be turned over to the newly founded Humane Society of East Texas.
Construction of the animal shelter was completed in 1968 and the Humane Society of East Texas's animal shelter was opened.
In 2013 we changed our name to Pets Fur People.
Sources of funding for Pets Fur People include Friends of the Shelter membership dues, animal adoptions, animal surrender fees, our annual fund-raisers held each spring and fall, and private donations and contributions.
Pets Fur People is a BBB Accredited Charity recognized by the Better Business Bureau. BBB Charity Review

Due to some valuable feedback I received off-list, I have added a short paragraph at the end of the story. Please let me know if it helps to clarify what happened, or if the change in POV is confusing.
Re: Fortune's Paradox - All Comments Welcome!
Re: Fortune's Paradox - All Comments Welcome!
I just fixed the story.
It just might be related to the testing - I'm one of the testers - so I will be reporting it to HASA. Not only did my story lose its paragraph breaks, but some of my posts have, too.
It's really embarrassing, because it looks like I didn't even check the story after editing it! But I did check, and the paragraph breaks were fine.

Re: Fortune's Paradox - All Comments Welcome!
I just posted a minor update to Fortune's Paradox, mostly to correct an error I found (after two months of staring at the story...).
This update does not incorporate the feedback you have all given me in the last few days -- not because I don't plan to incorporate it, but because it will take a while for my Muse to percolate the suggestions and incorporate them into the story cleanly.
I just wanted you to know that I am not ignoring your suggestions, but the error bugged me... It's just so hard to be a perfectionist when I am so imperfect...
Best regards,
Re: Fortune's Paradox - All Comments Welcome!
I loved the notes, which I thought were very humourous, and yes, they did set the tone for me - I expected the upcoming fic to be humourous. Which was something of a problem, because the upcoming fic certainly *appeared* serious. I expected from the notes that the fic was a dig at the Mary Sue, but instead what it looked like was a superiorly written, but earnest attempt to write a Mary Sue fic. As a result of which I was kind of thrown off track and didn't know whether I was supposed to be amused or not.
Then, because the fic appeared to be serious, and was very well written, I ended up quite liking the character, and being rather glad that she ended up with Rumil, which made the ending something of a shock and an emotional blow for me. I would guess I was supposed to laugh at the unexpected realism and well deserved death of a Mary Sue, but - lured by your serious descriptions and world building - I actually felt rather sad.
Maybe if you maintained the tone of the notes into the fic itself, as a warning not to take this seriously, that might help. Or if you made the Mary Sue more Mary Sue like and dwelled on her beauty, strangely coloured hair and flawless voice a bit more....
As it is, it's so well written, and so very borderline on the MSness that I actually feel sorry for her and wish she could have lived happily ever after with Rumil. (Liked the fact that it was Rumil and not Haldir, btw
Marnie :-)
Re: Fortune's Paradox - All Comments Welcome!
Thank you *so* much for your comments!
And your feedback just blew me away -- for a first-time author to hear from an author of your caliber that the story was well-written, and that you liked the character, and was saddened by her death -- well, I'm going to be dancing on the clouds for the rest of the day! (I'll try not to fall...)
The story started out as a Mary Sue parody... really it did! It was going to be romantic and FUNNY! Alas, the brothers Galadhrim haven't spoken to me since the story took such a strange turn... They give me such evil looks, it's scary sometimes...especially when they start sharpening their knives. But, fortunately, they behave themselves when my Muse, Glorfindel, is around. (Which isn't nearly often enough...)
Your thoughts confirmed my concern that the story has structural problems that may not be "fixable". I might try to revise it per some of the other feedback I've gotten (the purple prose...), but I may not submit it for the HASA public archive again.
But writing it and getting feedback has been an *extraordinary* learning process. I'm very glad I did it, and hope that the Muse bites me again soon (no, Glorfindel, I didn't mean that literally! I meant, um, kiss... Yes, that's it: kiss! Wipe that grin off your face!)
Thank you, Marnie -- you really made my day! (And Rumil's, too!)
Best regards,
Re: Fortune's Paradox - All Comments Welcome!
Please accept my apologies. There are no significant changes to the story today. My Muse refuses to be hurried... as he is a Balrog-slayer, I do not wish to annoy him...

This fall and early winter the "Idle No More" protests swept across Canada like a tsunami of indigenous alienation. The movement is now beginning to emerge on this side of the border among some Alaskan Natives. In Alaska the issue is generally subsumed under the concept of decolonization sometimes rebranded as a less militant resiliency.
The Canadian protests of First Nations, Metis and Inuit were triggered by Prime Minister Stephen Harper's unilateral revision of some of that nation's environmental laws that historically have given aboriginal communities approval rights to resource development based on centuries old treaties.
Harper's omnibus bill, C-45, for example, took away aboriginal approval of stream crossings in some areas of proposed gas, oil and bitumen condensate (Athabasca Tar Sands) pipelines and mine development. Resource development corporations and Harper's Conservative government feel the tribes have been an impediment to development because of the lengthy consultation process sometimes resulting in a veto of environmentally sensitive projects.
Neither Harper nor multinational corporations anticipated the push back. Protestors have mobilized themselves by social media networking. One of the Idle No More anthems reads: "Blog, Tweet, Post, Defend the Indigenous Rights Revolution." At the click of a tweet flash mobs were organized in shopping malls such as the West Edmonton Mall and Toronto's Eaton Centre. Protestors have blockaded the Canadian National Railway and Trans-Canada Highway among other freight transportation corridors.
One of the most visible protests was a hunger strike, recently ended, by Theresa Spence an Attawapiskat chief from a northern Ontario Cree band whose reservation is one of the poorest in Canada despite the location of a diamond mine on their land.
The target of the loosely organized Idle No More protests is the right to have a meaningful say about resource development in their territory and a critique of the consumerism that drives resource development. On the surface it's development vs. environmentalism. But at a deeper level Idle No More questions the very nature of human rights.
In the U.S. the Bill of Rights is a statement of individual rights. Likewise property rights are embedded in American (and Canadian) law. Together individual property rights are a foundation of pre-corporate capitalism and American democracy. With the shift to corporate capitalism, corporations, largely through the Supreme Court, have increasingly succeeded in defining themselves as individuals (personhood) with the same inalienable rights as a human with a soul.
From a legal standpoint, the Idle No More protests would appear to be futile and will result, at best, in incessant, insincere listening sessions; and, at worst, demonization charging anti-Americanism (anti-Canadianism?) undermining resource development, consumerism, and shareholder profits.
But the protests are really asking us to rethink the nature of human rights. The fundamental right of all humans is not property, nor so-called natural law, but the right to self-identity. This is because one cannot have a sense of rights prior to being a person and one is not a person without an identity. For this reason the right to one's identity as formulated by their culture is the elemental human right and the basis of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Indigenous peoples, especially subsistence peoples of the north, express self-identity in terms of a deep, ages-long relationship to the land. It's not some touchy-feely thing. You become a person through your relationship of the land of your ancestors by using the land in a respectful, sustainable manner. Indigenous self-identity is bound to language and the right to practices defined by the cultural landscape of their heritage.
So what's to say some Papa Pilgrim-like group can't come in and assert rights based on the same concept. Should they also be granted the same rights as indigenous peoples? No, because they do not have millennia-long traditions at a place to support their claim.
It is time for Alaska to recognize the right of her indigenous peoples to a legitimate place at the table (as the federal government is beginning to do) to frame cautious, conservative, sustainable resource development and management. And central to that process is to incorporate into law the right of indigenous peoples to their land-based identity.
For a start we can reject House Bill 47 that would restrict native organizations, local governments, citizens and environmental groups from questioning resource development by requiring these organizations to post a bond which would be forfeited if they lost in court.
Ask Stephen Harper what passage of that bill might cause.

After listening to a man from New York complain about the number of prostitutes in a local hotel (a hotel specifically famous for just that), I just had to respond...
For the week of the Republican convention few years back, the New York Daily News quoted an escort service owner who commented that; "We have girls coming from London, Seattle, California, all coming in for that week... It's the week that everyone wants to work." This is a time where fine, upstanding (?) politicians, respected public servants (50,000 are expected) will meet to discuss "a program that will reflect the Republican Party's leadership, diversity and commitment to the American people." (This link has since been deleted) Yes! Like New York City (which has 50+ pages of escort service listings in the telephone book) and every other major city, Costa Rica has prostitutes or maybe we should call them 'escorts' too? Although pimping is strictly illegal, prostitution is legal in Costa Rica and yes! There are establishments that one can visit for companionship. Prostitution anywhere is a dark business that most of us know little about but the US media always likes to remind us how bad the situation is in Costa Rica - the evils of "sex tourism" - don't you love to study hypocrisy? The "false assumption of an appearance of virtue or religion" ...
"A 2001 University of Pennsylvania study estimates the number of prostituted American children at between 200,000 to 300,000 annually." And, "There are approximately 20,000 homeless youth in New York City", says Carol Smolenski, executive director of the Brooklyn-based nonprofit, ECPAT USA, (End Child Prostitution Child Pornography and Trafficking). The group's surveys show that "one-third of homeless youths exchange sex for money in New York City," she added. New York is also the home of the author Andrew Vachss whom Oprah Winfrey refers to as a "warrior for children," who is an attorney and author of dozens of truly horrific books dedicated to a single purpose - protecting children from sexual abuse.
I do not mean to trivialize the problem or, even insult prostitutes in Costa Rica but, talk about the pot calling the kettle black eh? And, what exactly was he doing in that hotel anyway?
A friend of mine who is a very discrete security expert and who's business regularly takes him into many of the brothels in Costa Rica to meet with and occasionally guard his clients tells me that visitors need to be extra careful in the brothels here.
He has visited many of the brothels in San Jose to check security prior to visiting them with his clients, he found all of them to be seriously lacking and, one of them in particular - a very popular location - had the worst hotel security he has ever seen.
There have unfortunately been a number of cases reported privately where visitors from the US get off the plane all wide eyed and excited (no pun intended) about visiting certain locations where they can buy "companionship" only to end up being drugged after being aggressively encouraged to drink way too much - by the bartender and the prostitute - and then, taken to the rooms by the "companion" and having their wallets emptied.
Since most of the victims seem to be unaware of exactly what happened, some experts believe the prostitutes are using "ruffies" - the date rape drug - to incapacitate the men and the drug also helps them to forget what happened. Needless to say there are a few men who shouldn't be in there anyway and will be reluctant to report these events to the authorities.
Please remember that for some of these hotels, the goal of the security staff is to keep the girls safe - they really don't give damn about you...
For confidential investigations and security services by proven and discrete private investigators you can count on Doug Smith and his team. Doug Smith is the CEO of www.WillSPy.com Investigations. Costa Rica telephone (506) 8378-5668.

Security researchers have uncovered malware targeting companies in the energy sector - but instead of stealing sensitive information, it looks to disable infected PCs.
The malware was spotted by Symantec, who have dubbed it Disttrack or Shamoon. It has targeted at least one company in the energy sector and works by corrupting important files on an infected machine and then overwriting the MBR (Master Boot Record), which can render a PC unusable.
According to McAfee, the data is lost permanently and the machine is not recoverable.
No further information has been given on who the target was or how destructive the malware has been.
Earlier this week it was reported by Bloomberg that Saudi oil company Aramco was recovering after its computers were infected with a virus. It is not clear if the two are related however. What is clear though is that companies in the Middle East are increasingly the target of cyber attacks from the likes of Israel and the US. Flame, Stuxnet, Duqu and more have all been spotted causing havoc across the Middle East.
Shamoon contains three modules, according to Symantec. The first of these is called Dropper, which is the source of the infection and installs the other modules of infected PCs. The second is called Wiper, which destroys the data and the PC and finally Reporter, which sends details of its activity back to base.
The second of these modules, Wiper, brings to mind the malware of the same name that targeted Iranian facilities earlier this year. It was found to be deleting sensitive information regarding Iran nuclear capabilities. It was while researching the original Wiper that Kaspersky Lab found Flame, described as the most sophisticated malware ever created.
However Kaspersky researchers have claimed that this new Wiper is unrelated to the original. "It is more likely that this is a copycat, the work of a script kiddies inspired by the story," the company said.
Symantec added that, "threats with such destructive payloads are unusual and are not typical of targeted attacks."

1 Very DisappointingWhitey76 | 20/11/2012 | See all Whitey76's reviews (5)At the very least from a Bond game you would expect to hear the iconic theme tune, but not in this game.Each chapter is a carbon copy of the first and I think I got about an hours gaming out of it before it was completed.Without doubt the worst first person shooter I've ever played.Save your money.
2 What No Bond Theme!!!RogIow | 25/11/2012 | See all RogIow's reviews (26)Even through I haven't got this game yet. I am very surprised and very disappointed that they haven't included the James Bond Theme. Considering it is the 50th Anniversary year they should have included it.Even through the recent films seem to lack it until the titles roll at the end. I hope one day they put the gun barrel part back to the beginning of the Bond Films to. As now a days it could be any old film.
2 Shocking...Mr. BondJD1301 | 10/11/2012 | See all JD1301's reviews (2)If you are considering purchasing this game, save your money. The graphics and specs of this game are appauling, it would have been awesome, had it been released in 2007.There is one driving section of the game in Die Another Day, which lasts around 3.5 minutes and the guns and gadgets are so limited its laughable.The one highlight is the end of the final Mission, Moonraker, where you experience Zero Gravity. Aside from that, I certainly wouldn't recommend this game to anybody.If you are a big James Bond fan (like myself) then save yourself the disappointment with this one, at least until it is at least half-price.

Actually, this has nothing to do with cheese, but I felt like calling it that.
Anyways, I've been pretty upset about my mom latley. She won't awnser the phone and all. And I feel a little betrayed, I told her that I want to stay here and she's still pushing for me to go to Florida. :(
I went to Soras place because I needed someone to talk to. I sort of went over there and started crying. I didn't mean too. Everyone hugged me and stuff, once I told them what was bothering me we started talking about other stuff, which ened up in me coming out to everyone.. (Which is most of Soras sisters. Like, 5 out of 6.) It was stupid really, One of them said that I've got a little bit of boy in me, (The Riku thing) and she does one of her sisters does and Sora does too, and then another was like, "She's just saying we're all gay" and the other girl sitting next to me was like "Are you striaght?" So I shook my head. Nobody cared. Just like I thought. I just didn't want to like go and tell them because that would be weird. But I was asked so I was honest since I knew they wouldn't care anyways.
They also said that if they tried to take me to Florida they'd hide me and duct tape me to the floor so they couldn't get me. XD I'm not exactly sure where the duct tape came from though. Sounds painful. XD
It's funny, later Sora was sitting next to me, and her sister (We'll call her Axel) was watching TV with us, and a pads commercial came on, it was like "Have a happy period" and I'm like "Is there such thing as a happy period?" And Axel said "No." and so Sora and I started talking about our periods, (Which happens a lot actually.) and Axel was like "Why are you so open about it?" and we were like "What? It's not like you don't have one." and so Axel is like "You know what? I figured it out, you two are having an affair." (Out of nowhere.) And I started laughing and Sora was all like "Mabyeeee." XD But I had to go after that.
Hehe, I just thought that was worth mentioning.
And ugh, I have an essay to write. Laterz. (Meh, doing homework when everyone else is on break.)
wow, that's so hectic! the whole thing about going to ur freinds house to talk, and ending up coming out to her whole family! well, at least u got THAT out of the way, LOL... anyway it sounds like a really nice family, at least u can be like, their honorary daughter and lean on them when ur family acts all crazy and doesn't give u the love u need. fake families ROCK :o)
Yes, I also thought how nice Sora's family sounds... and all her sisters.
and that seemed a pretty friendly and natural coming out, yay!
We have all been injured, profoundly. (Donna Haraway)
I Am Out, Therefore I Am. (Okay, mostly.)

New Power for Ancient Names in Biotech
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Watching Jim Cramer last Friday on "Mad Money" reminded me of some of the darlings in the biotech and biopharmaceutical space with fascinating names and powerful momentum.
Gilead, for example, is a Hebrew word which means "Hill of testimony" or "mound of witness." As a child my family loved to sing an old spiritual song called "There is a Balm in Gilead." A "balm" is a healing or soothing substance, and there's a publicly traded company named Gilead Sciences (GILD - Get Report) that's been working on some life-saving "balms" worth billions of dollars.
GILD is a biopharmaceutical company with a $51.40 billion market cap that discovers, develops, and commercializes human therapeutics for the treatment of life-threatening diseases all over the planet. Its product list reads like a "Who's Who" or "What's What" of the world of pharmaceutical products.
They include Atripla, Truvada, Viread, Complera/Eviplera and Emtriva for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in adults; Viread and Hepsera oral formulations for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B; Letairis, an oral formulation for pulmonary arterial hypertension; Ranexa, a tablet for chronic angina; Lexiscan/Rapiscan, a test that detects and characterizes coronary artery disease; Cayston, an inhaled antibiotic for the treatment of respiratory systems in cystic fibrosis patients; and Tamiflu, a capsule for the treatment and prevention of influenza A and B.
Their trailing-12-months revenue is more than $9 billion and they have a product pipeline in various stages of testing and development slated to make them billions more. Rather than repeat what Cramer said about this popular company, I'll show you the following chart and you can see for yourself that it's been experiencing major accumulation. GILD data by YChartsSince April 2012 the profit margin has ascended impressively as has the price-per-share. On Monday, Oct. 15, some good news for Abbott Labs (ABT) cast more positive light on what appears to be coming down the pipeline for Gilead Sciences concerning its hepatitis treatments. ABT reported that its experimental hepatitis C drug regimen cured 99% of patients in a middle-stage study with the most common and most difficult form of the disease. This news alone caused share of ABT to leap more than 3% to hit an intra-day, 52-week high of $71.99!

THE TROOPS DID IT....Via Atrios, this is truly revolting. A mere one day after George Bush tried to pretend that John Kerry's criticism of him was actually denigration of U.S. troops, Bush campaigner Rudy Giuliani blames the al-Qaqaa fiasco on....the troops:
No matter how you try to blame it on the president the actual responsibility for it really would be for the troops that were there. Did they search carefully enough? Didn't they search carefully enough?
Do these guys have any shame left at all?

Ten years ago today, on Feb. 10, 2004, I became the 1,990th person to join what was then called "thefacebook." This is not special. I wasn't an early adopter — like those first 25 Harvard users who get profiled every time Facebook hits a big milestone — and I wasn't friends with Mark Zuckerberg or anyone who mattered in this epic saga of dorm room innovation/world domination that we've all heard one too many times.
I hadn't thought much about that number — 1,990 — until a few years ago, when I started getting tagged by strangers in comment threads. All. The. Time. Dozens of notifications a day flooded my inbox, telling me that I was being mentioned by people I didn't know from all over the world. Some sent me friend requests. Others sent messages saying cryptically that I was their "secret name." What was going on?
When I set up my profile back in 2004, the thing that made thefacebook feel safe was that it was designed to connect you with the people you already knew. Unlike Friendster — which at the time had the stigma of being for people who couldn't make friends in real life — thefacebook wasn't asking you to interact with strangers. In fact, if you'd told me back in February 2004 that eight years later I'd be getting tagged by people all over the world, I might not have signed up.
So why, suddenly in 2012, was I getting friend requests from people I didn't know, halfway around the globe?
Over time, the notifications would wax and wane — there were some weeks when every morning I'd wake up to some 30 notifications that had come in overnight, and then weeks when all went quiet. Whatever was going on seemed to travel from country to country — I could tell from the names of the people tagging me. And all the profile pictures showed young men and women who couldn't be older than 25. Eventually, people started writing messages, like this one, from Khaled in Cairo, which helped me figure out what was going on:
Hello, This is crazy lol, I've Seen this post … on facebook, and it said write your birth year like @[and the year then:] and it will give you the name of this year, and so i did so after my sis told me to try it to see who i am, and i did and your name came up, i gone curious i looked for the name and it was an actual person xD, ok enough, sorry for the trouble and i hope i didn't bother you, seems like you are one famous person out there! good luck!
Looking closely at the comment threads, I saw that other people were being tagged, too — and they were all people who I recognized from college — people who'd been say, the 1,987th or the 1,992nd or the 1,995th to join Facebook. I guess someone figured out that if you typed @+[INSERT ANY NUMBER HERE:] into a Facebook comment thread — as long as that number corresponded to a user ID — that string of characters would turn into a name linked to a profile. So, calling it a "birth-year name game," people announced on their timelines that if you took the year you were born, formatted it like so: @+[1990:], and typed it into the comments, it would reveal the "secret name" assigned to your birth year.
Mystery solved. But. Let me tell you: A lot of people were born in 1990, and — given that they're now in their early 20s — they spend a lot of time on Facebook. Messages came in from Greece, Ghana and across the U.S. It was at best a fun anecdote and at worst a nuisance … but it made me think about how far we've come when it comes to our comfort with online networks.
Back in 2004, we were so much more suspicious of "strangers" online. We assumed they were serial killers, or scam artists, or perhaps scariest of all — losers. But gradually, as Facebook opened up to other colleges, then high schools, then work places, and then anyone over 13 … we all got used to the idea that it was OK to have a personal profile on a public platform. And when other platforms like Twitter and Instagram and Tumblr came along, we were unfazed by the idea of putting ourselves "out there."
We've all heard more than enough about how the Harvard network I joined in 2004 has grown into a global network. But I think the more interesting story is how we've all grown up along with it. These days we take our online presence for granted … but I still wear T-shirts that are older than my Facebook profile. And I still remember the days of hesitation before I signed up — the reason I'm the 1,990th person on Facebook, and not the 19th.
But now, having lived through this weird, wonderful decade of social media evolution, I'd love to go back and reassure my 2004 self, and all of us who were squeamish about the idea of putting ourselves online. Sure there are plenty of predators and scam artists and Nigerian princes out there. But it turns out that some of those strangers are just 23-year-old kids sitting at their laptops in Cairo, or Ghana or New York, who are tickled to find that they have a mysterious "birth-year" connection to a person in Washington, D.C. In the last 10 years, I think we've all become a little less scared of strangers.

Criminal Convictions
The Board does not pre-evaluate criminal convictions. The evaluation is performed as part of the application process. Since the Board has the responsibility to protect the public, a primary objective of the Board is to ensure a thorough investigation of applicants for a registration or license who have criminal convictions substantially related to the practice of the professional license. For this reason, the Board evaluates all misdemeanor and felony convictions in the same manner for each type of professional license. Refer to Section 480 of the Business and Professions Code for acts that may disqualify an applicant.
- All applicants are required under law to report all misdemeanor and felony convictions, EXCEPT for:
- Convictions adjudicated in the juvenile court
- Convictions under California Health and Safety Code section 11357 (b), (c), (d), (e), or section 11360(b) which are two years or older.
- Charges dismissed under section 1000.3 of the Penal Code.
All other convictions must be reported even if they have been dismissed under Penal Code Section 1203.4.
- Do not include:
- Offenses prior to the applicant's 18th birthday
- Any traffic violations for which a fine of $500.00 or less was imposed.
Traffic violations which result in a felony or misdemeanor conviction must be reported.
- Failure to report prior convictions is considered falsification of an application and is grounds for denial of an application.
For each reportable conviction, the applicant is required to provide:
- A complete explanation of the underlying circumstances in a detailed written explanation of the actions which led to arrest and/or conviction
- Copies of police reports
- Certified copies of the court documents
- Sufficient evidence of rehabilitation which can include proof of compliance with voluntary or court ordered programs and letters of recommendation from employers, instructors or others,
- See application instructions for additional details.
Also seee FAQ&'s for Applicants Who Must Disclose Convictions for additional information.
The Board evaluates each application with any reported convictions on a case-by-case basis to make a determination concerning the applicant's ability to practice with safety to the public. Included in the Board's evaluation is the nature and severity of the offense, additional subsequent acts, recency of crime, compliance with sanctions and evidence of rehabilitation.
NOTE: If the applicant has a conviction history, the processing time may be longer than the normal processing time and will be dependent on the applicant providing all information required by the Board.
If you have additional questions, please contact the Board of Behavioral Sciences at (916) 574-7830 or send an e-mail to email@example.com.

Who says you have to stay at ground level when you travel? Guests at the well-appointed Monteverde Lodge, adjacent to the virgin Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve, can enjoy a monkey's-eye view of Costa Rica's lush rain forest on one of the canopy tours through the preserve. The tours consist of platforms up to 425 feet above the ground connected by footbridges and zip lines; the Original Canopy Tour starts by climbing through a giant hollowed-out tree and includes two descents by rope. Newcomer Sky Trek is more extensive: Its platforms have railings to calm your pulse, but the exhilarating 2,500-foot ride on a steel cable will just get it back up again.
