I've tested a lot and my favourite has always been Sprite Backup
Thanks for the address; have sent them a message re: data & sluggish performance issues
My memory card got corrupted again!! Soooo glad I used Sprite Backup to do a backup to my card , and THEN copied the WHOLE memory card to my laptop!!! I spoke to my provider who have said they have had nothing as yet from Toshiba, but then again what can my provider do, if the issue is with the phone? I'm really hoping this can be sorted out, as I lost a whole lot of photos I had taken over the weekend ! (Well how was I to know I need to back up EVERY night?) Well at least its all back now, and working..........
Here's hoping anyway, apart from these issues, the phones spot on!!!

Hi there, just wanted to drop you a quick note about our recent stay at your condo at Anclote Condominiums. I know all too often that complaints are usually the only feedback people take the time to send so I wanted to make sure and let you know that we had a wonderful time during our visit and thoroughly enjoyed your condo. The complex is in the perfect location overlooking Anclote beach and we found the rooms to be large, comfortable, and well equipped. It was such a nice bonus that everything we could possibly need (from ice chests to surf boards to beach umbrellas) was already included in the condo rental and available at our fingertips….y'all have done a fantastic job making sure that every little convenience is available.
I have spent a considerable amount of time travelling to Mexico so I have grown to expect the inconsistencies and surprises that often are a part of the Mexico experience….this trip those little hiccups were almost completely removed thanks to your people that manage the property. More than any of the other already mentioned benefits of the condo I will say that hands down the thing that will keep me coming back is the assurance and peace of mind that comes with having them available. They were our transport, tour guide, local knowledge expert, surf guide, and overall emissary of good will. An unbeatable advantage to staying with y'all in the future is having their assistance.
Fishing, golf, surfing, tennis, whale watching, canopy tours, 8 restaurants on the beach.

A Higher-Order Hardy-Type Inequality in Anisotropic Sobolev Spaces
Dipartimento di Matematica, Facoltà di Ingegneria, Università di Brescia, Via Valotti 9, 25133 Brescia, Italy
Received 17 May 2012; Accepted 7 August 2012
Academic Editor: Jian-Ping Sun

We prove a higher-order inequality of Hardy type for functions in anisotropic Sobolev spaces that vanish at the boundary of the space domain. This is an important calculus tool for the study of initial-boundary-value problems of symmetric hyperbolic systems with characteristic boundary.
1. Notations and Main Result
For , let denote the -dimensional positive half-space Let be a function such that close to , and for . For , we set Then, for every multi-index , the conormal derivative is defined by For every positive integer the anisotropic Sobolev space is defined as In we introduce the norm The space , endowed with its norm (1.5) is a Hilbert space. We also introduce a second anisotropic Sobolev space. For every positive integer , the space is defined as In particular, . In , we introduce the natural norm The space , endowed with its norm (1.7) is a Hilbert space. For the sake of convenience we also set . We observe that where denotes the integer part (except for , all imbeddings are continuous).
The anisotropic spaces are the natural function spaces for the study of initial-boundary-value problems of symmetric hyperbolic systems with characteristic boundary, see [1–6]. In fact, for such problems, the full regularity (i.e., solvability in the usual Sobolev spaces ) cannot be expected generally because of the possible loss of derivatives in the normal direction to the characteristic boundary, see [7, 8]. The introduction of the anisotropic Sobolev spaces is motivated by the observation that the one-order gain of normal differentiation should be compensated by two-order loss of conormal differentiation.
The equations of ideal magnetohydrodynamics provide an important example of ill-posedness in Sobolev spaces , see [7]. Application to MHD of and spaces may be found in [9–13]. For an extensive study of such spaces we refer the reader to [2, 3, 14, 15] and references therein. Function spaces of this type have also been considered in [16, 17].
The purpose of this note is the proof of the following Theorems 1.1 and 1.2. These results are an important calculus tool in the use of the anisotropic spaces , and accordingly for the study of initial-boundary-value problems of symmetric hyperbolic systems with characteristic boundary. Typically, in such problems one has to deal with terms of the form , where is a real matrix-valued function, and is a vector function with components. The matrix admits the decomposition with invertible in a neighborhood of the boundary . Hence, one may write where , and looks for an estimate of in , as sharp as possible. Given suitable estimates for the product of functions, the problem is then the estimate of in and . This motivates the following results.
Theorem 1.1. Let . Let be a function, and let be defined by Then
Proof. For all integers , the space ( denotes the set of restriction to of functions in ) is dense in , see [4]. Hence, without loss of generality, we may assume that is supported in a small neighborhood of where . For the proof of the theorem we use an induction argument somehow inspired from [18].
The case follows from the classical Hardy inequality, see [19]. Given any , the Hardy inequality yields
Integrating in and using (1.9) with we get
Let us now assume that inequality (1.13) holds for a given , and suppose that . A simple computation shows that for ,
From its definition, we see that for . Next, we obtain the identity
We deduce from (1.18) that
which by substitution in (1.16) yields the identity
Given any multi-index , with , we also get
from which it readily follows that
the Hardy inequality yields
From (1.22) and (1.24) we deduce
It follows that
for every multi-index , with , and such that .
In order to treat the case , we use an induction argument. We first invert the position of conormal and normal derivatives in the norm (1.5) to get
where the last term comes from the control of the commutator. Then, from the inductive assumption
Let us consider the estimate
Notice that (1.29) holds true if , because of (1.26). Assume that (1.29) is true for every multi-index and such that and , for some . We have
because for the first term we have , and for the second term we can apply estimate (1.13), true for by inductive assumption. Hence (1.29) is true also for . We deduce that (1.29) holds for every multi-index , and such that .
Therefore, from (1.28) and (1.29) we get
The proof of Theorem 1.1 is complete.
In the second anisotropic space we have the following results.
Theorem 1.2. Let , for , and let be the function defined in (1.12).(1)If , then (2)If , then (3)If , then
Proof. The proof of (1.32) follows by direct application of Hardy's inequality; then (1.33) follows by applying (1.32) to . In case of the proof is similar to that of Theorem 1.1, hence we omit the details.

Churt Road, Churt, GU35 8SS
A family farm producing raw milk and cream and their own-label ice cream.
Main event: Milk and cream a world away from the homogenized product.
Is it worth the calories?: Well, is it true that raw cream doesn't make you fat?!
Tips: You can only buy raw milk direct from the farmer.
Celia and Pete are one of the rare breed of farmers still producing raw milk and cream – chilled but otherwise straight from the cow. There's still a huge debate about the safety and nutritional value of raw milk. However they have been drinking their milk since they started production and, while they understandably don't want me to publish their ages, they are well over retirement age, and are fit (and lean) – a shining advert for their product.
They've been selling raw milk from their small herd of pedigree Jersey's since 1967. Currently they have about 60 cows plus another 70 or so calves on their 250 acres. They graze outdoors all summer and winter indoors on home-produced maize and grass silage and hay, supplemented by commercial cow feed. The cream is separated in the dairy and the skimmed milk fed to their five pigs – who then feed the family.
Celia says: 'Raw milk is absolutely wonderful. It can be digested in its natural form so you benefit from all the nutrients in milk. The live bacteria (friendly ones and unfriendly) stimulate the immune system.' She says her kids went straight from breast to cow and they've all flourished. Pasteurisation, she says, destroys the natural enzymes and the body can't deal with the milk. Homogenisation is worse: the fat globules are processed until they're so small the body doesn't recognize them as food and so stores it – making you fat. Lots of people with children with excema, asthma, Crohnes disease and other ailments are so much better when they substitute raw milk for pasteurized, she says.
While she's keen on naturally occurring bacteria and enzymes in the milk, Celia says producing raw milk requires exacting standards of cleanliness in the yard and rigorous herd management – all in the expert hands of son Mark. Daughter Julie, a trained chef, develops the ice-cream business.
So, it's for you to weigh up the health benefits or otherwise – what does it taste like? Celia's milk is a deep golden yellow. It's creamy with a soft texture, quite unlike the fatty feeling of pasteurized milk. The cream whips to a gorgeously luxurious texture. It's illegal to sell ice-cream made from raw milk, but their unflavoured ice-cream, tasting deliciously of cream itself, is a testament to the quality of their product. And they have eighteen other flavours, including the fashionable salted caramel and some dairy-free sorbets.
Celia sells at the farm gate (several regulars popped in while I was there) and at the Milford, Petersfield and Winchester Farmers' Markets. Her family are keen to keep the business going, with faith in their product despite strict regulation, low milk prices and twelve-hour days. In this case eating is believing!

Sirs - when will you at least acknowledge a pronounced anti-secular shift by Erdogan and the AK and make some sort of reasonable assumptions about the trajectory of the shift and what or where it might end? It's honestly embarrassing to watch.
All your examples of Erdogan's liberalizing ways are getting older and older, to the days when Turkey's closer union to Europe seemed to be on the agenda. Other examples of liberalism in this article seem to be more parts of the status quo (i.e. Turkey hasn't made Iran's progress in cracking down on college students yet - but you might ask Mr Erdogan - if women don't need to work, do they really need college?).
More recent acts hardly show "Erdogan the liberalizer." On the contrary, whether looking domestically at Turkey's behavior, or considering (just as one example) their help in screwing up the multilateral talks with Iran and doing little more than supporting their coreligionists and now heaping the Economist in with Israel (something we'd be more likely to see from Ahmadinejad) - really, please take off your blinders.
You do not need to be extra-nice just to make up for Sarkozy (and others') needless and inappropriate prejudice toward Turkey. However, as time unfolds, the idea of Turkey in the EU gets more an more laughable and some of the opponents of their joining may look more prescient than prejudiced.
You have been much quicker to accept that Obama may not have been all he was cracked up to be. Why is it taking you so long with Erdogan?
Best regards to your owners to Rotschilds.
The economist is talking about credibility in the West. What a big mouth writes does this magazine have. How about your magazine`s credibility in the East. Your own people do not give damn about you. Americans are making fun of you. The economist and its writers must be the last ones to talk about credibility. The Prime Minister of Erdogan is representing the whole nation that is consist of 75 million people for now. Wait and see his and Turkey`s progress in the future. I am sure this is making you crazy. My regards to your queen and your pm.
Erdogan's effort to encourage people to have 3 babies is completely understandable and right...if you look at the demographics of some European countries you can easily understand this...The population should be at least balanced otherwise aging population will destroy your future...this efforts DOES NOT mean that Erdogan wants women stay home and raise children..or he does not mean to limit women and their freedom...this is all about very very simple math,that's it...those feminist should be more clever just a little bit more....
this article does not reflect realities...first of all, it is so stupid to claim that islamic laws will be effective in Turkey in the future by giving examples from maybe 80's or 90's...besides referring Binnaz Toprak for such instances is a big mistake since she is the one who does not have any tolerance for people who do not share same idiologic thoughts with her...shw was the one who had fun with the holly book for which people are so sensitive..it is totally unacceptable to claim that alcohol is not served in some provinces or akp will lead the country to the direction of the countries such as Iran...etc...this obsolete tactics do not work anymore in Turkey but CHP and its allies are still trying to affect citizens with these stupid old style methods....TURKEY is going forward and bigots like Binnaz Toprak will NEVER change this truth...The point is "The Economist" is referring some people for critical issues as if they are impartial and authority for the issue...I haev been following this newspaper but I also do not support the article written 2 weeks ago....I have travelled almost all parts of Turkey and I feel like most of the things claimed about the country is so wrong...I can not accept this scare tactics aiming to mislead Turkish people against AKP...last election proved this already...we are in information era and people can easily reach anything they want...instead of playing dirty, CHP and its allies should try to do something for the all people not just for their supporters
a more appropriate heading would be "AKP's incredible erection."
Why is this article on topic Israel?
Kissing the dirty places should be less tasteful.
many countries suffer under schrinking populations. most women making 3 babies would keep the Turish population constant. There is nothing wrong with this-
Can someone please explain to me how "Justice and Development Party" rimes with "Women stay at home and pop 3 babies"?
Only one word can describe this article that is PATHETIC. Please stop creating non-logical scenarios which do not exist.
Do not you truss our democracy and choices?? By other sentence, you think you know the democracy better then Turkish people and we need guidance which only you can give us. NO!!
You have to respect my country people's preferences.
PS: Have you known that during this election, some female polling clerks who used head covers were been dropped off from the polling stations by forces?? Think about that who is really under the press??
I'm sick of these Westerners complaining about Erdogan and his conservative vision. He is MUSLIM and believes in strong family structure, it's not like his a dictator, he has tremendous support from his people. Turkey is not a Western country, it is seeking it's own model.
Who is helping Turkey? UK, USA, Middles East. Nop I doubt if UAE is as I read the man in UAE jump from the 100 the floor of the building in Dubai, depressed of the living. So that rules out help from UAE, Saudi. NO. Too restricted within it's own boundart, does not permit news to go in or out, Egypt, herself in termoil, Israel, USA would stop that, Greece, has the problem, Syria own troubles. Weel I close . Help yourself then the Allmighty will help you. I thank you These you have a headache you take a Panadol not me not him, Firozali A.Mull DBA
After these election results, I believe that some countries' folk really DESERVE to be screwed. And really badly at that indeed... Ex: Italy with Berlusconi, Turkey with Erdogan... There sometimes is just nothing you can do to change 'simple folk's minds. They are and always will be called simple folk.
I got to say, this maybe one of the dumbest things that Turkey could do. Not only is it sexist but really it just seems to be damaging to their possible ascension to the E.U. The E.U. is trying to find reasons to accept them, the economy has been a major benefit, but at a time when Islamophobia in Europe is at the forefront of debates things like this that appear to heighten cultural differences will just make it less likely that they will join the Supranational government.
P.S. Mr. Barbour, this is the last one... Awesome class, great assignment!
The results seem to be exactly what The Economist hoped for: the ruling party stays in power on the strength of its successful track record, but the opposition is strengthened, hopefully offering a check on its worrying authoritarian tendencies. Let's hope they were right.
To Turkish readers who question The Economist's right to "interfere" in their country's politics, it is traditional in Western democracies for independent newspapers to endorse parties and candidates in elections, and this is considered proper. Since political reporters are likely to be better informed about the policy positions and the strengths and weaknesses of different candidates than the average voter is, they lend their expertise and judgment to like-minded readers. (In this particular case, "like-minded" means a focus on political freedom, free-market policies and good governance.)
The Economist reports on politics all over the world and is read internationally, so consequently it also makes endorsements for major elections anywhere. It endorsed Obama in the last US presidential election, the Conservatives in Britain, Sarkozy in France, Kadima in Israel, the conservative candidate in the recent Brazilian election, anyone but Berlusconi in Italy, etc. In a way, it is a compliment to Turkey that the newspaper considers it important enough to offer an endorsement: many countries never register to its attention.
Well, which one of you are going to give AK congratulations call?
And also in the end there is a concern - explanation and a threat looking thing at the end this article:
'At successive rallies Mr Erdogan has accused The Economist of acting in concert with "a global gang" and taking orders from Israel. This may win him votes at home, but it will hardly add to his credibility in the West.'
2 things:
1- Why don't you also say that these accusations are not true?
2- Why do Turkish or any of the regions people concern themselves with credibility at West? West never really gave that warmth to East anyways.
It seems, judging by early election results that, Sultan Tayyip, will not have the necessary majority to ride roughshod over the part of the populace that is not in the fold of the AKP, and cannot produce a new constitution without making some concessions. Of course, that won't prevent him and his henchmen to try to do just that. He might have to take into account what the other tens of millions of Turks have to say about their own future. Who do they think they are? Sultan Tayyip knows what is best for Turkey - he said so himself...
I am certainly not discounting external opinion, especially that of a newspaper to which I have a subscription for the last five years. I just do not want it to be ignored by my fellow countrymen because of the tone that comes across as quite patronizing..
You may not like it: but the Turks are at the moment fed up with this East versus West tempest in a teapot...anything that will attempt to "teach" them will be met with contempt.
I fully agree with your comments vis a vis Mr Dervis and the "do it for me mindset"
Judging from the comments, on both sides, the headline is particularly well chosen.
I wonder why and how do you expect from the "Economist" to be unbiased? When it was to be now? Can you understand even the basics, about how the things work?
Turkey for so many years, before Erdogan, was just fine. The Secularists knew very well the situation was going on all around them. They were quiet and sat quietly. Otherwise, all neighbors were ready to take action against Turkey. All of them were deceived after the war and Turkey got the biggest part of land. None was happy while were looking at Turkey.
Also, in Turkey there are many different breeds who don't like them.
And then Erdogan came in... Does he know how easy is to see Turkey breaking in pieces? He started raising his voice to Jews, Greeks and even to America. With the Kurds, there is no solution. Unfortunately Syria could play a nice role but they have their own problems.
It will be extremely interesting to see where will lead Turkey with that behavior of Erdogan.

A Theorem on Unit-Regular Rings Let $R$ be a unit-regular ring and let $\sigma $ be an endomorphism of
$R$ such that $\sigma (e)=e$ for all $e^2=e\in R$ and let $n\ge 0$. It
is proved that every element of $R[x \mathinner;\sigma]/(x^{n+1})$ is
equivalent to an element of the form $e_0+e_1x+\dots +e_nx^n$, where
the $e_i$ are orthogonal idempotents of $R$. As an application, it is
proved that $R[x \mathinner; \sigma ]/(x^{n+1})$ is left morphic for each
$n\ge 0$.

Endomorphisms That Are the Sum of a Unit and a Root of a Fixed Polynomial If $C=C(R)$ denotes the center of a ring $R$ and $g(x)$ is a polynomial in
C[x]$, Camillo and Sim\'{o}n called a ring $g(x)$-clean if every element is
the sum of a unit and a root of $g(x)$. If $V$ is a vector space of
countable dimension over a division ring $D,$ they showed that
$\end {}_{D}V$ is
$g(x)$-clean provided that $g(x)$ has two roots in $C(D)$. If $g(x)=x-x^{2}$
this shows that $\end {}_{D}V$ is clean, a result of Nicholson and Varadarajan.
In this paper we remove the countable condition, and in fact prove that
$\Mend {}_{R}M$ is $g(x)$-clean for any semisimple module $M$ over an arbitrary
ring $R$ provided that $g(x)\in (x-a)(x-b)C[x]$ where $a,b\in C$ and both $b$
and $b-a$ are units in $R$.

Spring Flowers Egg Carton Craft
Egg Carton Craft
Celebrate the arrival of Spring with your kids with a beautiful permanent bouquet of flowers!
Kids' Spring Flowers Egg Carton Craft
Take an egg carton and cut each "cup" into an approximate flower shape. I did this the night before to simplify the craft preparation in the morning. Make sure that you have a pipe cleaner per cup.
Break out the prettiest paint colors you have, and let the kids go wild!
Once the paint is dry, punch a small hole through the center of each flower base, and thread a pipe cleaner through. Bend it around a bit above and also below for stability. Arrange your bouquet, place on the table, and admire!

just got round to teaching this dance, lots of combination steps, took a little time, but after second time through everyone enjoyed.
Carmel Flynn - 14/06/2014
love the dance
Jackie Barber - 14/06/2014
A good dance to a nice track. First two sections repeated just on opposite foot once these were mastered the rest of the dance was quite an easy teach. 1 tag and 3 restarts each of which can be heard in the music. A feel good dance which should be enjoyed on the dance floor.
Mike Parkinson - 11/05/2014
Been enjoying this Maggie dance for a few week now, but with all the great new dances coming out have overlooked a review. (Must have a good dance review session this week to catch up- so many!!) Back to the dance, a lot easier than the step sheet looks easy tag and the music leads you into the 3 restarts. a nice balanced flowing dance and well worth teaching. The music is the "Irish" Eurovision entry and after watching part of the fiasco last should have done better than it did. maybe the should have all wore beards!! Well done Maggie the dance will be a hit anyway. Love It!!
Margaret Connor - 07/05/2014
From a dancers point of view...this dance has got to be a No1 for Maggie G. Absolutely love it..fabulous dance to a haunting piece of music:-))
Marilyn Lee - 06/05/2014
This is another great flowing dance from Maggie. All the steps fit perfectly(as usual), and you know exactly when to restart - all very comfortable. It's a joy to dance to this lovely track.
Wendy Annall - 03/05/2014
A winner from Maggie again. An instant hit with my lot. Sections 3 to 8 are all done on same wall. I replaced full turn right in section 6 with right sailor for my non-turners. Doing the same as most and finishing it on the front wall .Thanks Maggie for a memorable dance.
Phil Marson - 29/04/2014
Going to be a class favourite.catchy track..nothing complicated with the dance should do well for Maggie :-)
Elaine Hornagold - 25/04/2014
This went down well in class, good music track with obvious restarts and an easy tag. Hope to see it going up the charts.
ANGELA Stokes - 22/04/2014
Thumbs up from class another good dance from maggie as other reviews the restarts are easy to hear in the music
ANGELA Stokes - 20/04/2014
on my to teach list hopefully on tuesday but can't see class having problems
Christine Wallace - 18/04/2014
Although Maggie has written this floor filler to a modern track, the step combinations she uses have a flavour of the Irish. Neat use of touch and heel and toe and heel in different sections. Great work.
Heather Ward - 17/04/2014
nice easy intermediate dance nothing taxing, easily remembered restarts and a fab music track.
Denise Nicholls - 17/04/2014
Good solid dance from Maggie nothing difficult and not half as bad as the step sheet looks, restarts, tag are obvious when you listen to the music, I also changed the coaster at the end for a coaster half turn. filled the floor each time.
J Myers - 16/04/2014
THE BEST >> This has got to be Maggies next no 1. The re -starts and tags are easy THE CHOREOGRAPHY IS NOT TO TAXING AN ALL ENJOY DANCE The music is very infectious >> its a MAGGIE > THANKYOU !!
David Spencer - 16/04/2014
No real problems with this one - the class soon picked it up. It helps that you can easily tell from the music when the restarts are coming up. Everyone was up all 3 times it was played so that's a very good sign. I changed the coaster step on the final wall to a coaster half turn left just to finish facing the front at the end of the track.
June Rainbow - 16/04/2014
Love this dance and the music is great. The restarts are no problem as they are so obvious.
Carol Mcalister - 16/04/2014
great track dance is alot easier than it looks restarts and tag are easy

blocked 4. Also in November 1988, a computer virus infiltrated the Internet, shutting down hundreds of workstations 5.
Several well-publicized SS7 outages occurred in 1990 and 1991 due to software bugs 6, 7. The first had a nationwide impact and involved the loss of 65,000,000 calls. Others involved entire cities and affected 10,000,000 customers.
In response to a massive outage in September 1991, the mayor of New York established a Task Force on Telecommunications Network Reliability. The task force noted that "the potential for telecommunications disasters is real, and losses in service can be devastating to the end user" 8.
Network infrastructure architects and designers have used redundancy and extensive testing to build integrity into telecommunications networks. They have recognized the critical role that such infrastructure plays in society and are mindful of the consequences of network failure. Techniques such as extensive software testing, hardware duplication, protection switching, standby power, alternate routing, and dynamic overload control have been used throughout the network to enhance integrity.
A 1989 report published by the National Research Council identified trends in infrastructure design that have made networks more vulnerable to large-scale outage 9. Over the past 10 years, network evolution has been paced by changes in technology, new government regulations, and increased customer demand for rapid response in provisioning voice and data services. Each of these trends has led to a concentration of network assets. Although additional competitive carriers have been introduced, the capacity of the new networks has not been adequate to absorb the traffic lost due to a failure in the established carrier's network. End-user access to all carriers has been limited by this lack of familiarity with use of access codes.
Economies of scale have caused higher average traffic cross sections for various network elements. Fiber optic cables can carry thousands of circuits, whereas copper cables carried hundreds. Other technologies such as microwave radio and domestic satellites have been retired from service in favor of fiber. When a fiber cable is rendered inoperable for whatever reason, more customers are affected unless adequate alternate routing is provided. The capacity of digital switching systems and the use of remote switching units have reduced the number of switches needed to serve a given area, thus providing higher traffic cross sections. More customers are affected by a single switch failure.
In signaling, the highly distributed multifrequency approach has been replaced by a concentrated common channel signaling system. Also, call processing intelligence that was once distributed in local offices is now migrating into centralized databases.
Stored program control now exists in virtually every network element. Software technology has led to increased network flexibility; however, it has also brought a significant challenge to overall network integrity because of its "crash" potential. Along with accidental network failures, there have been a number of malicious attacks, including the theft of credit cards from network databases and the theft of cellular electronic security numbers.
In regulation, the Federal Communications Commission has mandated schedules for the introduction of network features such as equal access. For carriers to meet the required schedules, they chose to amalgamate traffic at "points of presence" and modify the software at a small but manageable number of sites to meet the imposed schedules. Hinsdale was one such site and, unfortunately, the fire's impact was greater than it would have been without such regulatory intervention because of the resulting traffic concentration.
In my opinion, the most important lesson learned in the recent past regarding telecommunications infrastructure integrity is that we must not be complacent and assume that major failures or network intrusions cannot happen. In addition to past measures, new metrics must be developed to measure the societal impact of network integrity and bring the scientific method of specification and measurement to the problem 10.
Another lesson learned is that design for "single-point failures" is inadequate. Fires cause multiple failures, as do backhoe dig-ups, viruses, and acts of God. There has been too much focus on individual network elements and not enough on end-to-end service.

The Team
Automated Greenhouse
Growing food on earth is not rocket science. Our current industrialized agriculture model has huge flaws. It's destroying our environment, our health and our wallets. We hope to make greenhouses a fixture in modern homes similar to how most homes have a refrigerator. We want to reconnect people with nature. However, we also understand it has to be easy and it has to work in many climates.
This product will be the synthesis of several key technologies. These technologies are soap bubble insulation, aquaponics, automation and the internet.
Soap bubble insulation is being pioneered by the SolaRoof open source consortium led by Richard Nelson. They construct a structure with two transparent membranes. In between the membranes they blow in soap bubbles. It's that simple. The bubbles offer insulation when you want it but they can also be turned off when you want to let the heat in. There are currently many ongoing independent experiments around the globe pushing this technology forward. It's in use in the cold extremes of Norway to the heat of Phoenix. More information can be found at their website
We can adapt the SolaRoof technology to our frames. Instead of steel we'll use PVC tubes and stainless steel fasteners. Once we have a low cost climate controlled area we can focus on optimizing the grow space. We're going to use aquaponics to do this. Aquaponics is similar to hydroponics but it uses fish poop instead of chemicals. It's all natural and organic. There are many aquaponic installations throughout the world and many DIY'ers experimenting with it. We hope to package this up into an easy to use and affordable unit.
The third main ingredient is the automation and internet. We plan on automating the entire greenhouse using low cost micro-computers like the raspberry Pi and low cost sensors. We'll connect these up to the internet and work with a distributed team of open source enthusiast to get actual data from our greenhouses in the field and figure out what works best to optimize food growth for different environments.
We're partnering with several local entrepreneurs to make this product happen. Curt Grantrom is a local aquaponics guru. He's going to help us get a few test aquaponic systems functional and then hopefully more. Thomas McFadden is also helping us. He specializes in building urban gardens in wasted space.

Pay the Meter and You'll Still Get Towed at This Private Miami Beach Lot
Private lot meter is the same as the ones used at city lots. |
But here's the catch: The lot is privately owned, and if you pay in a nearby city meter instead of the one machine in the lot, Tremont Towing trucks are ready to pounce.
See also:
- South Beach towing companies go to war
- Don't Get Your Free Beach Towing VIP Decal Right Here
The setup has led to scores of complaints and action by the city, which recently forced the owners to post more visible signs. "We had a rash of folks coming in [to complain]," Miami Beach Parking Director Saul Frances says.
The changes haven't been enough, though, critics say. Take the case of Kris Conesa, a freelance journalist (and, full disclosure, former New Times staffer). Just before 3:30 p.m. on a Saturday during the height of Miami Music Week, Conesa eased his black Mercedes-Benz CLK 350 into the lot. Noticing a line of people waiting to pay at the lot's only meter, Conesa skipped across the street and paid at another machine.
He placed his ticket, which would expire at 5:13 p.m., on the dashboard and headed to Dylan's Candy Bar on Lincoln Road, where he and his girlfriend shared Slush Puppies. When he returned, his ride was gone. Tremont had towed the Benz less than an hour after he parked it and charged him $241 to get it back. Conesa says the lot's two signs are barely visible.
"These charlatans have a machine that looks exactly like the city's meters just across the way," Conesa says. "They could have an attendant there to differentiate the two, but instead choose to perpetrate as a public lot in an effort to confuse motorists and line their pockets."
Banana Republican checked out the lot, and it's easy to overlook the signs. One is a green metal square nailed to a tree trunk. The other is white with busy red type that's obscured when there's a crowd waiting to pay the meter.
Frances had Tremont change the signage just two weeks ago to make the type more legible, and says he's had only two complaints since then. He says he's powerless to do more to help parkers.
"It's a free-enterprise issue," he explains. "They don't have to honor parking tickets purchased from a city-operated meter. We feel badly about it."
Free enterprise or not, Conesa complains the city is helping the tow firm entrap drivers. "They have gone out of their way to fool unwitting drivers to park their cars there," he grouses. "It is an outright scam."

Portrait of a Boy, 1872
Oil on canvas, 22 X 18" (55.88 x 45.72 cm.)
Museum purchase,
Between 1870 and 1879, Frank Duveneck distinguished himself at home and abroad as a
virtuoso painter and inspiring teacher at the Royal Academy in Munich. Munich, at this
time rivaling Paris as a leading art center, was a magnet for many American artists, such
as Duveneck, who came from German-speaking areas of the country, especially Cincinnati.
While teaching in Munich and the neighboring countryside around Polling, Bavaria, Duveneck attracted a talented group
of American students known as "The Duveneck Boys," through his thorough
understanding of the Munich technique and his congenial personality. A number of these
artists, including William Merritt Chase, John Twachtman, and Joseph DeCamp, would later
become leading American painters and teachers.
Portrait of a Boy is a fine example of the figure painting Duveneck perfected in
Munich at this time. In the early 1870s, the artist painted some of his most daring
examples of this form of bravura painting. These paintings were compelling character
studies in which the artist depicted only the head and shoulders of a solitary figure,
painted in a broad, gestural style which emphasized technique for technique's sake. The
dramatically lit and sensitively sculpted face of the model stands out against a
relatively flat, broadly-washed ground of deep browns, grays, and blacks. The resulting
emergence of the figure, as if by magic, from a sea of darkness imparts an uncanny
psychological intensity, and further enhances the work's vitality. In Portrait of a
Boy, the dark background which threatens to engulf the youthful sitter
suggests a vulnerability and an inevitable mortality, giving the alla prima study a
timeless, monumental quality.
Duveneck was particularly influenced by the German artist Wilhelm Leibl, who greatly
admired the paintings of the seventeenth- century Dutch masters, particularly Frans Hals.
The dramatic juxtaposition of lights and darks, expressive painterly brushstrokes, and
telling command of gesture found in Portrait of a Boy, reveal Duveneck's deep
understanding of his instructor, Leibl, and in turn, Frans Hals.
After leaving Munich, Duveneck established his own school in Florence at the urging of his
student, Elizabeth Boott, whose family lived there. From there he ventured to Venice where
he painted, etched, and conducted summer studies, continuing to attract a bright following
of students. When Boott, an extremely talented artist and a beautiful woman who had become
his wife in 1886, died tragically in 1888 of pneumonia, Duveneck retreated
to America. In Cincinnati he taught and eventually directed the Art Academy with skill and
devotion until his death in 1919. He continued to paint in a broad style throughout
his later career, spending winters in Cincinnati and summers in Gloucester, Massachusetts,
but his Munich period remains the high-water mark of his oeuvre.

Wadeless Heat Lose to Bucks, Probably Losing No. 2 Seed In The Process
Categories: Sports
With Dwyane Wade and his hobbled thigh on the bench, the Heat turned the ball over 16 times while shooting just 41 percent from the floor. If the Heat's strategy is to play like dick against shitty teams and yet still blow through quality teams in the playoffs, then everything is going according to plan.
LeBron James led the Heat with 29 points, but was 10-for-22 from the field and failed to connect on a game-tying free throw attempt with less than a minute remaining. And while Miami did fight back from a 14-point deficit to the Bucks, the main problem was that they had to fight back from a 14-point deficit to the Bucks. They were also beaten by a guy named after a fish, and a Star Wars character. Milwaukee's John Salmons led the Bucks with 17 points while Luc Mbah a Moute contributed 14 points.
The loss also wasted huge rebounding performances from Joel Anthony and Mike Miller. The Warden finished the night with 11 boards, while Miller grabbed 12. It's the first time the Heat have had a pair of players grab 10 or more rebounds in the same game since Matt Geiger and Rony Seikaly did it in 1994. Meaningless and arbitrary stats? HIGH FIVE.
Miami's offense came and went in spurts, and couldn't seem to match Milwaukee's intensity or keep the Bucks from making timely threes. Carlos Delfino's three-pointer with 24 seconds remaining sealed the deal for the Bucks, and put the Heat in an impossible hole.
The loss now drops Miami a half-game behind the Celtics for the No. 2 seed in the East. Which pretty much means Heat fans now have to root for the Bulls to beat the Celtics tonight. Miami will host Boston on Sunday with the second seed possibly up for grabs.
But by the looks of it, the Heat will finish 3rd in the conference, setting up a first-round showdown with the No. 6 seeded New York Knicks. That ought to be a fun series to experience with your New York transplant co-workers and neighbors. Knicks fans are such a delight!

Keep in mind the first couple of times it may not be completely clean but if you stick with it eventually you will be clean as a whistle. Just be patient and don't exceed recommended times to avoid burns. These are exciting times for cleancut bald-headed men indeed!
I was disappointed that this comes in a white plastic bottle..I read the other review and stated it came in a light blue glass bottle....smells ok...seems like it smell different then the blue glass bottle version..??
This product helps me remove unnecessary hair..

3/18/2013 Oregon Trail pioneers in the 1850s reported flushing sage grouse in numbers that darkened the sky. I doubt that. But I know from experience a flock of a dozen "bombers" leaping from under your feet feels as if it covers the sky. Six-pound birds with 3-foot wingspans take up a bit of space. But they won't be doing so much longer. The sage grouse may be on its way out. And if the second-largest grouse in the world had fists it would be shaking them at us. Humans are pushing this iconic upland game bird of the West toward the final frontier … extinction. Four years, ago sage grouse lured this hunter into the foothills of Idaho's Pioneer Mountains where a virulent strain of blooming rubber rabbitbrush so aggressively assaulted my sinuses I had to retire from the field, weeping and leaking. I barely made it home alive. Ten years ago, an entire congregation of grouse slinked through the sage and nearly drove my setter to distraction. One after another they led her willy-nilly over pad-abrading rocks and cacti-studded gravel. Then, as she pointed, they flushed, one-by-one. She quivered and rolled her eyes, waiting and wondering why I didn't shoot, why she couldn't rush out and fetch one of the aromatic, enticing birds. Poor dog—I'd already shot my two-bird limit. Thirty-five years ago, three young hunters in the full bloom of manhood strode across the sagebrush flats of eastern Montana, lured from the safety of thermostatically controlled offices and shops to the wild uncertainties of Big Sky Country, lured by a mysterious bird, North America's largest, showiest grouse, the greater sage grouse. They found them, chased them, flushed them, shot them, ate them and fell in love with the wild, wild West. Two hundred years ago, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark discovered and shot a new species of gallinaceous bird and sent specimens back East. Scientists named it Centrocercus urophasianus, the spine-tailed pheasant—our sage grouse. Three hundred years ago, as Native American hunters watched, sage grouse gathered each spring on tens of thousands of leks to pose, strut, fight and win mates. Their hens dispersed across millions of acres of sagebrush steppe from southern Alberta to northern Arizona, central South Dakota to California to lay eggs and raise chicks. They'd done this for millennia before and would do for millennia after, or so it seemed. Today our sage grouse, this spectacular part of our hunters' heritage, has been wiped out in five states and one Canadian province. Populations in remaining states are fragmented. Bag limits have been reduced, seasons shortened and even closed. Roughly 50 percent of historic sage grouse range has been lost. Most of what remains has been severely degraded. In less than a single human lifespan, a common game bird that swarmed in the millions has been reduced to perhaps 350,000. Sadly, this isn't the first time we've neglected a game bird to death. Remember the heath hen? It was a prairie chicken in the Northeast, a treasured game bird; it's gone. How about Attwater's prairie chicken? This close cousin to the heath hen is barely hanging on in Texas Gulf Coast prairies, most of which have been lost to grain fields, cotton fields and invading brush. No one has legally hunted an Attwater's prairie chicken in decades. Similar things are happening with lesser prairie chickens in southwest Kansas, northwest Oklahoma and northeast New Mexico. Our great, native game birds: Going, going, gone? How can this be? The sage grouse is a big, strong, hearty bird that evolved here, withstanding droughts, blizzards, sandstorms, unbridled populations of native predators, unregulated egg gathering and hunting by generations of hunter/gatherers. It lives in family groups into October. Males compete for females by strutting on communal mating grounds (leks), spread tail fans, inflate chest/neck pouches, brush wings against their sides and spit out a weird popping sound. They squabble and fight over small dance areas; the oldest male with dancing ground in the center of a lek gets most of the mating rights. This is the "thunderbird" of Native American lore. It struts like a turkey and launches from beneath a pointing dog's nose like a B-52 Stratofortress, seemingly unable to get airborne. But when you raise your 12-gauge to strafe it from the skies, you discover the illusion. Like a giant Canada goose, these bombers are moving deceptively fast. Their bulk and slow wing beats have fooled you. Odds are you'll shoot behind. Odds are you'll want another try. Odds are you'll walk a dozen miles over country so big, so wild and so free you'll think it's 1850. And you'll want to sample this taste of freedom again and again because this is your bird living on your land, the vast grasslands and sagebrush steppe of the American West. You own it. I own it. Millions and millions of acres. And we're letting others run roughshod over it. This is one of the most discouraging hypocrisies of hunting. We justifiably and rightly pat ourselves on the backs for being the first and best conservationists, the ones who ended market hunting, started the conservation movement, invented the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation that uses the money from hunting license sales to study game and habitat, establish seasons and bag limits, restore habitat and reintroduce depleted species. We are the lovers of wildlife who started DU and Rocky Mountain Elk and Wild Sheep and asked Congress to tax our guns and ammunition so we could perpetuate wildlife and wild places. So why are we letting our sage grouse slip away? A few years ago a bunch of "environmentalist" groups rose to defend sage grouse, but did so in a manner few hunters appreciate. They proposed it be listed as a Threatened and Endangered Species. Crazy? Perhaps. But crazier is we hunters letting these birds reach the point where such a proposal was even possible. We own, under the auspices of the Bureau of Land Management, roughly 180 million acres of sagebrush-grassland. This land has been used for 200 years to feed cattle and sheep, mine minerals, flood rivers, drain wetlands, drill for oil and gas, erect electric lines, build giant windmills, coddle tens of thousands of overgrazing feral horses, host motorized vehicle races—for just about everything except protect, enhance and perpetuate our native sage grouse. Now I don't have a problem with responsible multiple-use of our federal lands. I don't mind ranchers and farmers getting their share. But why must we hunters take it in the shorts? Why must our game birds get pushed to the back of the line until a group of environmental organizations steps in to rescue it? Why haven't we, the greatest conservationists in the world, done our jobs? Perhaps it's not too late for a conversion. Perhaps if we quit paying lip service and got involved, we could restore sage grouse on our land, the place where we can camp and hunt without paying huge trespass fees, without signing lease contracts, without hiring guides. Isn't it time we stopped paying for far-raised and released "game girds" and insisted the range managers we hire manage our range in a condition that can again grow our birds?
In case you've never had the pleasure of hunting sage grouse, here's what you're missing:
You let out the dogs to run and water, load your pack with two canteens, grab your shotgun and a handful of shells and start walking across an endless slope of grass, into low sage, over a ridge. The sun is warming and so is the day. You head for a windmill to water the dogs. Halfway there they slam on point. You step up—whoa, whoa—and a half-dozen birds the size of overgrown pheasants crossed with geese thunder up: gray, white, black, pointy tails. You swing, shoot. The dog is already on the first bird, prancing back. By noon you are back in camp with a limit. You pluck them and rinse them in a small brook bubbling down from the distant mountains. You've heard they're inedible, tough like a boot, flavor like sage, but you will try them anyway, stripping their breasts into narrow strips, basting them in butter, pulling them out hot and rare. You heard wrong. They are tender and delectable. No taste of sage except the background perfume on the pure desert air. No one else is around. Just you and your friends. Maybe this afternoon you'll go upstream with a fly rod. Tomorrow you'll walk a few more of your million acres and see a few more of your sage grouse.

Tioman 2012 with Ming, Sarch, Kevin, & Myra
This post is just SO long with SO many pictures! To read the whole post, click 'Read More' at the bottom.
Fierce as a leopard roWR
Please note how i'm delicately balancing the hula on my thumb
Kevin & Myra
America's Next Top Ming. Love the sun on the arched back. Look and learn.
There are a gazillion pictures from this Tioman trip (that's what you get when you have five posers. Ming = 3 posers. Me = 1. Myra + Kevin and Sarah = 1 poser). I'm just posting some up now and will continue this post to make it WHOLE tomorrow. Am blogging this from Shanghai and my fingers are shivering (okay i should set the air con temp lower but NO i WANT TO FEEL COLD, i never get to put it this low at home cos Clem loves it warm ptui) and it feels lonely not being able to talk to myself on twitter or FB where at least someone might reply me. I ees rambling. Here goes post.
We congregated at Ming's place at 3:30am so we could arrive in Mersing in time for the morning ferry. As usual, i got minimal sleep cos i championly wanted to attend the Nike event and blog about it on the same night. Slept (more like lay down) for an hour before leaving my house. Myra drove while we entertained her. Well i think i passed out sometime around 5am. The only way i travel decently is to sleep so i don't feel travel motions!
It was indeed a beautiful drive when the sun started rising amidst curved roads and rows of trees…
Line of the morning by Myra: "SO MANY INSTAGRAMS!"
Sarch and Ming – happy on the way to hols!
When we reached the jetty, we grabbed a quick breakfast. I had lontong, which i've never had before. It's a Malay dish of rice cakes, cabbage and long bean bits, hard boiled egg, and sambal, all drowned in a curry gravy. I loved it.
Myra & Sarah. Ferry tix is RM35 one way.
HAHAHA @ guy behind Ming
KEVIN YEOH CHIN KUAN is from Sitiawan and damn proud of it. Kuchi kuchi koooo
I should stop hunching
Mah lucky mole
I go to Tioman at least once a year… it's to a point locals there say they recognize me from previous trips. Must be the toys.
Glint and glare
We took this picture for Didi, to show her that Salang beach recycles!
Ming brought enough snacks for a classroom. He started nesting right away.
This reminded me of 961… anyone?
So didn't plan this. On left is Sarah's. On right is mine. Are we that predictable?
Our hula happy home for 3 nights
I got these scarves from Sungai Wang for RM10. They became the sails of our mothership.
I'm sorry Myra, but i just noticed that that part of your bag looks like a pantyliner.
Ming was on a MISSION to TAN. He went to bask the moment we arrived. He woke up early every morning to tan. He'd tan every afternoon from lunch till dinner. I tried doing half of what he did and have ended up with a heat rash right now -_-
Gleam like a sun sista
Myra got a Ming massage since she drove half the night
I asked them to give me their best miang look
Dinner 1st Night
Lunch Day #2
Does Ming not have the FIERCEST eyebrows on the planet? I begged him to save mine (cos i stupidly went threading and they ruined it). Within two minutes, my eyebrows were looking well-shaped. I don't even know how he salvaged them!
I fell asleep while Ming did Sarah's eyebrows
Ming karaoke-d to himself all night
Kampung shoot
LV-inspired eyelet top from Azorias; sunnies from Henry Holland x Le Specs; bikini from Thailand.
Ming bought us all popsicles to suck on. (It sounds dirty even as i type it…)
My original Circle of Peace is kinda bent and old (aka embarrassing to bring out in public) so i pleaded the others to fit in the car with my new gigantic CC (Candy Circle), a birthday present from Yishyene. As for the bow, i *think* i bought it from Daiso ages ago.
This be my money shot
I climbed a fallen dead tree with the smoothest white bark ever. The trunk was also the PERFECT width for me to lie on comfortable, and possibly take a nap! Oh i LOVE THIS BRANCH SO MUCH.
The circus is in town
I told them to keep their hands out of the water to dry them so they could take pictures of me with my cam, and they obediently complied, awww
Me and my tree branch again. Oh tree branch i miss you so!
Taking pictures from my tree branch. Sarah says Ming looks like a little Somalian kid here ho ho.
Ming. Again.
This somehow reminds me of *this picture*
Leaving Salang beach. I'm wearing top from Hey Pilgrim; shorts from Topshop; bag from Jim Thompson.

Hey Joyce! Love ur pictures and ur enthusiasm for travelling!!
Since u r in shanghai is there any place or food that I shouldn't missed out on? I'm going there next week!
Hope u have a great time there! -
u want the best lontong – check out the food court near hospital kl…..it's da bomb…..
Hahaha! I could not stop laughing/smiling at the occupation column on the passenger sheet. Ace!! =]
YAY for beach recycling programs!! <3
I'm jealous of the awesome tans and sexayyy instagrams. -
glistening good times.
xx -
Went to the exact same spot 2 years ago. Man, that place could use some maintenance. ALL the rooms there kind of suck. 1 star maybe, yeah? But 3 star prices. Authentic kampung experience I guess. Guess you had good company to make up for it.
We were there exactly 8 years ago. We're going again end of this month. From your piccies, nothing much has changed, it still looks idyllic – good weather, nice beaches, shiok food, decent people.
The only difference is that we went by bum boat then, a 5 hour slog. Yet, somehow, the slow pace and prancing around on the sun-splashed deck was awesome, really got you in the mood for a lazy weekend of lounging, stoning and dozing.
This time, we booked the ferry in advance and I hear it'll get us there in an hour.
I guess, times, they are a'changing…
Great pix by the way!
Hi Joyce, may I know which accommodation you stayed in Salang? I'm planning to go but could not find a place to stay coz some of them look dodgy.:P
Thanks! gonna check it out this weekend.

UPDATE: Campus Robbery Unfounded
Posted Feb. 22, 2011After further investigation of the armed robbery that was reported on Sunday, Feb. 20 the Kent State University police have determined that it was unfounded. The victim recanted their story and there was no robbery.
During this time of heightened awareness in the campus community, it is a good reminder for everyone to always take simple, commonsense precautions as our best defense against crime.Besides the presence of KSU Police Department, security aides are available to provide escorts across campus and have extended their hours until spring break. Call 2-7004 for an escort on campus each night between 6 p.m. and 4 a.m. Our well-lighted campus also includes outdoor campus phones, which can be recognized by their blue lights and can be used for emergency and non-emergency situations. Courtesy phones are located at the entrances to residence halls.
Please consider these additional tips:
- Find safety in numbers by walking with a companion or in groups at night;
- Keep the doors of residences, offices and automobiles locked;
- Mark your valuables with a personal identification number in case of loss or theft;
- Have your keys ready when walking across parking lots and watch for any suspicious person or activities;
- Never leave your keys unattended in the car ignition; and
- Lock all valuables such as mobile devices, laptops, cameras, book bags, briefcases and textbooks in the trunk.

Cycling is regaining popularity in most parts of the world, and many countries are actually making efforts to make it a safer world for the cyclists. A team of Dutch designers makes one such effort – they have come up with ways to make winter journeys a lot more comfortable and safer for cyclists.
They have suggested using reflective crystals to make lines on the road, as this will make these lines perfectly visible even in poor light. Not only this, they have also suggested going for underground heating to encourage cyclists to take a ride even in winters.

A MOST successful summer school in the view of visitors and locals alike was held in The Mills Inn, Baile Bhuirne last weekend organised by Sinn Fein.
The event which attracted large crowds over the two days involved lively discussions on a wide range of topics from reconciliation, media and to the arts and its contribution in an Ireland recovering from recession.
Brian Kennedy is a favourite with many people for his singing ability but his humour and self-deprecating style proved highly entertaining.
His depiction of growing up on the Falls Road and his gravitation to singing was full of humour.
He ended with a fine rendition of Four Green Fields when prevailed upon by the audience and his use of Gaeilge surprised many.
He appealed to young entertainers to use their own background and their own accent in developing singing style.
This is often his advice on the TV programme, The Voice of Ireland.
Temper-Mental MissElayneous an actor and rap performer from Finglas certainly does not hide her Dublin accent with mid-Atlantic riffs.
Her basic message was that she was discovering her own 'truth' and her disarming honesty had the whole audience in the palm of her hand.
A breath of fresh air. Some readers will be intrigued that this 'clued-in' young performer has boycotted TV and always tries to make up her own mind independently of media power and spin.
The eagerly anticipated discussion on the 'Legacy of the Conflict' was riveting.
Alan Mc Bride who lost his wife and father-in-law in the Shankill bombing in 1993 was clear in his analysis but also very honest.
He did not hide the fact that his father was a staunch member of the UDA and he was very critical of the leaders of Unionism, past and present. He criticised republicans for taking so long in admitting certain acts were wrong.
The chairperson of Sinn Féin, Declan Kearney, outlined many initiatives to involve the entire community in dealing with national reconciliation.
He said the killing of Alan Mc Bride's wife was wrong, pure and simple.
Sinn Féin wished to recognise all the hurt of the past and help in the healing process. While movement is taking place on the ground with people like Alan McBride the leaders of Unionism are still standing off.
Amanda Fullerton spoke of the killing of her father, Buncrana councillor, Eddie Fullerton by the UDA in 1991.
The family is seeking an inquiry into collusion between security forces and the UDA. She felt here is a compelling case for an inquiry.
Looking directly at Alan Mc Bride she thanked him for his courage in coming to Baile Bhuirne to outline his views.
The hurt on all sides must be acknowledged she contended.
While Paul O'Brien, Political Editor of the Irish Examiner, contended that the media in Ireland was in a much healthier state than pertains in Britain he did concede that in some cases there was a reticence which favoured the establishment.
He said the case regarding Willie O'Dea (then Minister) was one such example where his own paper sat on information for months.
It took Maurice Quinlivan, Limerick Sinn Fein councillor, being forced into legal action before the truth emerged with Quinlivan winning out.
Rob Morrison, former head of News at UTV, was strongly challenged by Eoin Ó Murchú, former Political Editor with RnaG.
Robinson claimed that there was no media bias unless one goes back to the days when Official Sinn Féin/Workers Party had deliberately positioned its members such as Eoin Harris within RTÉ.
Ó Murchú contended that RTÉ and most news outlets sift out "trouble-makers" and that group think allows everyone to feel totally unbiased and objective.
"How many reporters ever come from places such as Finglas, Tallaght or South Hill?" he asked.
The event is growing year on year and the calibre of well-known speakers attending is getting the attention it deserves.

That's the problem: if the user typed the password by accident instead of the login name, the password is stored plain text on the log. Even with strong encryption, secure VPN channel, unreadable log files, whathever, the admin will need to _read_ the logfile sometime, and to avoid anyone else reading the possible stored plaintext passwords, he should lock himself on a room, clear any video buffer that maybe stored the screen, assure that the printer spooler didn't store the printed logfile and so on.

The Obama administration has announced its 2012 budget request; and, if approved, it will reduce spending for NASA in the next fiscal year to $18.7 billion, the same amount the agency gained in 2010 and roughly $300 million less than NASA received in the 2011 budget request.
"The times today are very difficult fiscally, and we're going to live within a budget," says NASA administrator Charles Bolden. "What we do has to be affordable, sustainable, and it has to make sense."
Despite the potential roll back in overall NASA spending, the budget request boosts NASA sectors' interaction and collaboration with commercial spaceflight companies. In fact, the 2012 request allocates $850 million for NASA to partner with American companies with the singular goal of providing astronauts transportation to/from the International Space Station (ISS).
Also suggested is a full $1 billion for space technology research and development (R&D), and another impressive $5 billion for robotic solar system exploration, including observation programs. Another $2.8 billion is proposed for R&D on a heavy-lift rocket and crew capsule intended to take astronauts beyond low-Earth orbit.
"This new direction extends the life of the International Space Station, supports the growing commercial space industry, and addresses important scientific challenges while continuing our commitment to robust human space exploration, science, and aeronautics programs," Bolden adds.
The President's Budget for Fiscal Year 2012 is available for all to read online at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget. NASA also provides an interesting budget overview, which lays out the budget request in detail, at http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/516674main_FY12Budget_Estimates_Overview.pdf. This geek finds both documents to be interesting reads, and is encouraged by increased investment in commercial space endeavors. It's not all good news, however, as I'll explain in my blog next week.
